(Verse 1) Melbourne, Sydney, childhood blur, RAAF Dad, my shining star. Brainy, strong, the one I knew, Looked up to him, it felt so true. Loving Dad, to Mum and us, No questions asked, no need to fuss. Worked so hard, a quiet man, Mum's the discipline, Dad's the plan. (Chorus) But the hero falls, the mask descends, A perfect picture, that now ends. Secrets whispered, shadows creep, A childhood dream, I cannot keep. The ground gives way, beneath my feet, How could this be, so bittersweet? A broken heart, a shattered trust, My hero's gone, turned into dust. (Verse 2) Queensland sun, high school days, RAAF life, a fading haze. Retirement came, a brand new start, But 2024 ripped us apart. Dementia's grip, a cruel disease, Wandering lost, no peace, no ease. Aged Care walls, a lonely space, Mum's by his side, in that hard place. (Chorus) But the hero falls, the mask descends, A perfect picture, that now ends. Secrets whispered, shadows creep, A childhood dream, I cannot keep. The ground gives way, beneath my feet, How could this be, so bittersweet? A broken heart, a shattered trust, My hero's gone, turned into dust. (Verse 3) Nine to five, her love so deep, A vigil kept, secrets to keep. But whispers rise, a hidden shame, A girlfriend there, playing the game. Intimate moments, a shocking blow, The truth revealed, a painful show. Affairs unveiled, a hidden past, My hero's image, fading fast. (Chorus) But the hero falls, the mask descends, A perfect picture, that now ends. Secrets whispered, shadows creep, A childhood dream, I cannot keep. The ground gives way, beneath my feet, How could this be, so bittersweet? A broken heart, a shattered trust, My hero's gone, turned into dust. (Verse 4) I've become so numb, I can't feel him there The silence screams, how do we repair? Betrayed and lost, my world undone, A childhood dream, now outrun. The perfect Dad, a painted lie, Tears I cry, beneath the sky. Shattered trust, a broken heart, Torn apart, right from the start. My hero's fall, a bitter sting, The truth it brings, no joy to sing. (Chorus) But the hero falls, the mask descends, A perfect picture, that now ends. Secrets whispered, shadows creep, A childhood dream, I cannot keep. The ground gives way, beneath my feet, How could this be, so bittersweet? A broken heart, a shattered trust My hero's gone turned into dust

[Verse] Crest the mountains where the wild wind roars Jagged edges cut the silent scores Echoes lost in the whisper of trees Climb through the canyons on our knees [Verse 2] Rivers winding through the ancient stone Nature's song in a ghostly tone Steps unsteady on this rugged path Chasing dreams in the aftermath [Chorus] Where the rocky heights kiss the sky Mystic lands where eagles fly Feel the pull of the earth below To the peaks where legends grow [Verse 3] Snow-capped dreams in a boundless sky Cold nights where the stars don’t lie Mystery dances in the mountain shade In the wild where my soul's unafraid [Bridge] Storms they howl but we're unbent In the grips of nature's intent Up we journey through the rocky veins Heartbeats sync with nature's strains [Chorus] Where the rocky heights kiss the sky Mystic lands where eagles fly Feel the pull of the earth below To the peaks where legends grow

[Verse] Fired up my console on a Friday night, Lookin' for a game to set my soul alight, But all I find is glitches, bugs, and lies, Ubisoft's broken dreams before my eyes. [Verse 2] Microtransactions in every shade, Can't play a single thing I haven't paid, They sell me patch notes like it's gold, But the gameplay's stale, the story's old. [Chorus] Ubisoft, where'd your heart go, Lost in pixels, movin' slow, You lured us in with tales so grand, Now we're stuck in your wasteland. [Verse 3] Open worlds that feel so closed, Recycled maps in their finest clothes, Promises as empty as the scenes, Cried wolf too many times, it seems. [Verse 4] Standing in the shadows of legends tall, But your games now seem so small, Could’ve been a beacon, bright and clear, But you've traded our respect for fear. [Chorus] Ubisoft, where'd your heart go, Lost in pixels, movin' slow, You lured us in with tales so grand, Now we're stuck in your wasteland.
[Verse] Out in the wilds of the digital plains, A red-lipped bandit playing no fair games. With a smirk and a wink, making that claim, Piratesoftware's spreading some real foul fame. [Verse 2] Calling out the cowboys, roping 'em in, On shaky ground with a mischievous grin. Striking hard with that DMCA pin, But folks around here ain't takin' it on the chin. [Chorus] Hey there, pirate, what's the deal? Riding on that false appeal, You might think you're at the wheel, But truth comes out, yeah, it always will. [Verse 3] Streamers out here, they just wanna play, Building their dreams in an honest way. But your false alarms, they led 'em astray, Now it's time to pay for the games you play. [Verse 4] In this small town of virtual lights, We remember wrongs and seldom the rights. Your tarnished crown, we might sink tonight, Time to face the mirror, meet your own fight. [Chorus] Hey there, pirate, what's the deal? Riding on that false appeal, You might think you're at the wheel, But truth comes out, yeah, it always will.

[Verse] He walks down the street so cool and sly Sigma boy Ortiz never looks too high With a twinkle in his eye and a crooked grin He's the talk of the town and he's ready to spin [Verse 2] He's got swagger like lightning and a heart of gold Stories of his legends are often told Never backs down from a single fight Sigma boy Ortiz shining in the night [Chorus] Oh Sigma boy Ortiz you're one of a kind With a mind so sharp and a soul so blind You move through the chaos with so much ease Living every moment like it's all a tease [Verse 3] He plays his cards close doesn't show his hand In this game of life he's making his stand Whispers in the shadows of his next big plan Sigma boy Ortiz always the man [Bridge] In the city lights he makes his way Leaving broken hearts at the end of day With a smile that's real but never stays Sigma boy Ortiz he's a game we play [Chorus] Oh Sigma boy Ortiz you're one of a kind With a mind so sharp and a soul so blind You move through the chaos with so much ease Living every moment like it's all a tease
Rollin’ down Main, dust in my wake, BMX tires, no time for the brakes. Some folks swear I just disappeared, But I’m still right here, with a long-ass beard. [Pre-Chorus] They think I’m famous, they think I’m lost, But I just play my own game, no matter the cost. [Chorus] Johnny Aspromonte, wild and free, Camouflage heart, redneck as can be. Hit rock bottom, climbed back high, Wrecked the truck, still touched the sky. [Verse 2] Small-town kid with a hoop dream past, Tore up the court, but it didn’t last. Traded the ball for the wind in my face, Pedal to the metal, never lost the race. [Pre-Chorus] They think I’m reckless, they think I’m gone, But I just keep ridin’, keep movin’ on. [Chorus] Johnny Aspromonte, wild and free, Camouflage heart, redneck as can be. Hit rock bottom, climbed back high, Wrecked the truck, still touched the sky. [Bridge] Me and Dale, man, we chase the dream, Dog runnin’ wild, fishin’ in the stream. Lost it all, then found my way, Livin’ for the ride, come what may. [Outro] So if you’re wonderin’ where I’ve been, Just take a look where the dirt road bends. Still ridin’, still fightin’, still stayin’ strong, Johnny Aspromonte—my legend rolls on.
[Verse] Sunrise whispers through my window pane Rooster crows a tune that breaks the chain Coffee brews in an old chipped cup Country life just can't give up [Verse] Fields of green rolling past the creek Barefoot kids playing hide and seek Granny's quilt hanging up to dry Patchwork dreams in the open sky [Chorus] A country life is all I know Simple joys in the evening glow Barn dance till the stars descend Country heartbeats never end [Verse] Old Chevy rattles down the dirt road Singing songs of hearts that overflowed Fishing lines cast in a lazy stream Living life in a summertime dream [Verse] Front porch swings with a creaky grace Fireflies dance in our secret place Watermelon's sweet under the sun Small town charm just having fun [Bridge] From sunrise till the crescent moon We live and laugh to country tunes Love and life stitched in every thread Country roots in hearts widespread
[Verse] Sotto il sole caldo che riflette Vedo l'acqua scomparire nel riflesso La palla vola alta nel tramonto Ce la giochiamo fino all'ultimo secondo [Verse 2] Le onde si alzano come mura La tua difesa è pura fortuna Ci sfidiamo senza timore La vittoria è il nostro vero amore [Chorus] Sfonnamo tutto Lazio è qui Col cuore in mano fino a Roma sì Nessun ostacolo ci fermerà Questa battaglia noi la vinceremo già [Verse 3] Gli avversari ci guardano spaventati Noi siamo un fiume in piena scatenati La tua porta non è più sicura L'adrenalina sale pura e dura [Bridge] Le mani son lame tagliano l'acqua Lazio combatte senza paura Questo gioco è il nostro campo E' il trionfo ne siamo vanto [Chorus] Sfonnamo tutto Lazio è qui Col cuore in mano fino a Roma sì Nessun ostacolo ci fermerà Questa battaglia noi la vinceremo già
[Verse] Joe the show he fell so fast In love with fat Olivia's laugh He'd sing her songs and make her smile Forgot the world for just a while [Verse 2] Tommy found those boots so fine The ones Jack mentioned all the time He strutted down the city street With leather heels on both his feet [Chorus] Love and boots and dreams and laughs They make the world go spinning fast In a town where memories gleam Love's the stitch in every seam [Verse 3] Olivia she rocked the night With Joe beside her holding tight They danced beneath the neon sky Where wishes soared and spirits fly [Verse 4] Tommy's boots they clicked so loud Echoed through the cheering crowd He stepped with style and pure delight A fashion king on glittered nights [Chorus] Love and boots and dreams and laughs They make the world go spinning fast In a town where memories gleam Love's the stitch in every seam
