Iron Glare

It starts with one, one thing I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme to explain in due time All I know, time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day, the clock ticks life away It's so unreal, didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Tryna hold on, did-didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter One thing, I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To remind myself how I tried so hard In spite of the way you were mockin' me Actin' like I was part of your property Rememberin' all the times you fought with me I'm surprised it got so far Things aren't the way they were before You wouldn't even recognize me anymore Not that you knew me back then, but it all comes back to me in the end You kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this, there's only one thing you should know I've put my trust in you Pushed as far as I can go For all this, there's only one thing you should know I tried so hard and got so far But in the end, it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end, it doesn't even matter

I'm dancing with my demons I'm hanging off the edge Storm clouds gather beneath me Waves break above my head Headfirst hallucination I wanna fall wide awake now You tell me it's alright Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight But nobody can save me now I'm holding up a light I'm chasing out the darkness inside 'Cause nobody can save me Stared into this illusion For answers yet to come I chose a false solution But nobody proved me wrong, no Headfirst hallucination I wanna fall wide awake Watch the ground giving way now You tell me it's alright Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight But nobody can save me now I'm holding up a light I'm chasing out the darkness inside 'Cause nobody can save me Been searching somewhere out there For what's been missing right here I've been searching somewhere out there For what's been missing right here I wanna fall wide awake now So tell me: it's alright Tell me I'm forgiven, tonight And only I can save me now I'm holding up a light Chasing out the darkness inside And I don't wanna let you down But only I can save me Been searching somewhere out there For what's been missing right here

Verse 1 (Male Lead) I gave you everything, my heart and soul, But in the dark, I watched us lose control. Every promise turned to ash in the wind, Told myself it’d be the last, but here we begin. Pre-Chorus (Male Lead & Female Backup) It was love that cut too deep, A passion we couldn’t keep. Now I stand here torn apart, Screaming out with a shattered heart. Chorus (Both) It’s never enough, the echoes of us, Every scar reminds me of trust misplaced. It’s never enough, the weight of love, Can’t escape the ghost of your embrace. Verse 2 (Female Backup) You were my strength and my fatal flaw, In every fight, I saw what we really are. Hoping, fearing, tied to your flame, Letting go but I’m calling your name. Bridge (Male Lead & Female Backup) (Softly, then building) One last time, I’ll walk this road alone, Fingers cold, letting go of stone. (United voices) Still, the pain is bittersweet, But in the silence, I’m learning to breathe. Verse 3 (Male Lead & Female backup) (Male Lead) I'm breaking free from the chains you left, Filling the void of Love's theft. Every step, a jagged edge to tread, But I rise from the ashes, no longer misled. (Female Backup) And I watch as the past unravels slow, Finding strength in the places I let go. A spark reignites within my core, Learning I'm worth so much more. Final Chorus (Both) It’s never enough, the echoes of us, But I know now, this love must fade. It’s never enough, when push comes to shove, Time to leave this shadow we made.

[Verse] He left but he never said goodbye Taught me how to paint my tears dry Got my toughness from the empty sky Still hoping for a reason why [Verse 2] Used to dream he'd come around Lift me up when I'm feeling down But shadows don't make a sound Now I walk this lonesome town [Chorus] Daddy issues written on my sleeve Looking for love that won't leave Heart's a maze I can't retrieve Broken pieces I can't weave [Verse 3] Found his jacket behind the door Glory days we've never worn In his footsteps but I'm torn Loving him was never sworn [Verse 4] Momma tried to mend my mind Taught me strength wasn’t hard to find But I keep leaving her behind Searching answers in the blinds [Chorus] Daddy issues written on my sleeve Looking for love that won't leave Heart's a maze I can't retrieve Broken pieces I can't weave

[Verse] She walked in with her iron glare Ruling strong didn’t seem to care But oh the Poll Tax started to crack The people rose up pushing back [Pre-Chorus] Are you ready are you ready for this To take a stand and raise your fists The tide is turning can you feel The winds of change they start to squeal [Chorus] Iron lady crumbling down Voices rising shaking ground Power’s shifting can't you see We're writing our own history [Verse 2] Voices echo through the streets Determined cries no more defeat Hands united oh so tight Facing shadows in the night [Chorus] Iron lady crumbling down Voices rising shaking ground Power’s shifting can't you see We're writing our own history [Bridge] Her fortress now a house of cards The people's voices breaking bars No more reign of cold and steel This revolution’s very real

[Verse] Dark as night with neon skies City's pulse it never dies Shadows creeping in the haze Scream out loud embrace the craze [Verse 2] Midnight whispers fill the air Broken dreams there's no repair Running wild can't find my ground Through the chaos I'll be found [Chorus] Scream scream break the silence Heartbeats drum to our defiance Raise your voice let it soar Scream for dreams we want more [Verse 3] Starlit rebels side by side In this madness we collide Echoes of a restless heart In the noise we'll play our part [Bridge] Lost in city's bright display In the dark we'll make our way Unleash the sound from the deep In the rhythm we won't sleep [Chorus] Scream scream break the silence Heartbeats drum to our defiance Raise your voice let it soar Scream for dreams we want more

[Refrain] Oh les pompiers de Rignac Toujours prêts à répondre jamais en vrac Dans la fumée dans la nuit noire Ils sont là pour nous toujours quelque part [Couplet 1] Quand le feu gronde et que tout s'effondre Ils bravent les flammes sans jamais se fondre Casque luisant dans la chaleur Bonjour l'angoisse adieu la peur [Refrain] Oh les pompiers de Rignac Toujours prêts à répondre jamais en vrac Dans la fumée dans la nuit noire Ils sont là pour nous toujours quelque part [Couplet 2] Quand l'alarme brise le silence Ils courent vers le danger sans hésitance Dans les maisons ou les forêts Ils sauvent des vies sans arrêt [Refrain] Oh les pompiers de Rignac Toujours prêts à répondre jamais en vrac Dans la fumée dans la nuit noire Ils sont là pour nous toujours quelque part [Pont] Héros sans cape dans le quotidien Ils veillent sur nous main dans la main Quand le doute plane sur le chemin Ces soldats du feu restent sereins

[Verse 1:] We were all born to die, we exist just trying to get by, But we could be so much more, we could rise and settle the score, Between dreams of making you bleed, I wonder if it's gonna make me weep, [Pre-chorus 1:] What if hell and paradise, are both right where we are? Depending on the way we live our life, and the choices made in the nick of time, [Chorus 1:] Every tale of forever, wrapped in beautiful lies, you can't reach my heart, Loving someone's nothing but a waste of time, a proven plot to quickly take a life, But oh, I would never, let you win this fight, become the hero of a war, Or fall victim to the pinning look in your eyes, the weight of loneliness that you hide, [Verse 2:] Break free of this prison of fate, that's been broken ever since the day we met, Melt the steel and distort the chain, don't lose sight of the one true gain, Life's nothing but a fucked up, ruthless game, never before have I wanted to hit replay, Your level's the worst of ploys, the best of joys, let the rain wash out all of the world's noise, [Pre-chorus 2:] What if hell and paradise, are both right where we were? What if death isn't meant to keep us apart? What if it's a chance to finally reunite? [Chorus 2:] Every tale of forever, wrapped in beautiful lies, you can't reach my heart, Loving someone's nothing but a waste of time, a proven plot to quickly take a life, But oh, I would never, let you win this fight, become the hero of a war, Or fall victim to the pinning look in your eyes, the weight of loneliness that you hide, [Bridge:] There are no stars meant to align, when it comes to you and I, the best that we could do is collide, Lost moments passing us by, Unwanted feelings left unsaid, Farewell and let's meet at the end, [Pre-chorus 3:] What if hell and paradise, are both exactly where you are? What if I was wrong to keep us apart? What if I wanna go wherever you are? [Chorus 3:] Our own tale of forever, got wrecked by our own twisted lies, I hate the way you seamlessly claimed my heart, Loving someone's nothing but a waste of time, a plot that proved to take our lives, But oh, I stood by my vow to never, let you win this fight, become the hero of my war, But I was falling through the fallout, fast and hard, night after night, Victim to the way you made me feel alive, the adrenaline rush of a lifetime...
