[Verse] City lights so blinding World keeps turning cruel Shadows in the alleyways Rebel without a rule [Verse 2] Lost in the machinery Voices silent scream Choking on the rusted dust A relentless dream [Chorus] Rise up through the ashes Fight until the dawn Tear apart the chains that hold We will carry on [Verse 3] System's grinding down the bones Of those who dare to dream Break free from the hollow lies More than it may seem [Bridge] In the night we gather Hearts that never quiver Together we ignite the spark Set the world a-shiver [Chorus] Rise up through the ashes Fight until the dawn Tear apart the chains that hold We will carry on

[Verse] Thunder claps and we charge tonight Steel meets flesh in the morning light Echoes of our past in every fight Different clans but the same plight [Verse 2] Ghosts in armor whisper tales of woe Bitter cold where no flames grow Cannon fire and blood that flows Heroes rise that nobody knows [Chorus] Echoes echo in the heart's domain Forgotten glories in the pouring rain Brothers fall and names remain Victory calls but brings the pain [Bridge] Marched for miles through dire days Battles blur like a smoky haze Desperate nights where hope decays Songs unsung starved of praise [Verse 3] In the fields where shadows lay Silent prayers as swords sway Dreams of home far away Love and loss in a fierce ballet [Chorus] Echoes echo in the heart's domain Forgotten glories in the pouring rain Brothers fall and names remain Victory calls but brings the pain
[Verse] Caminaba por el barrio un día Con un estilo alocado y sin guía Me piqué el dedo y no lo vi venir Una semilla de chile me hizo sufrir [Verse 2] Los compas del barrio reían de mí Con rifles al lado decían entre sí Ese Diego es un caso perdido Ahora tiene un problema encendido [Chorus] Semilla de chile en mi vida se coló El dolor en mi dedo ya se instaló Los negros de rifle me enseñaron lección No juegues con fuego ni con picazón [Verse 3] Intenté lavar el maldito ardor Pero la semilla traía su furor Mis manos temblaban y no podía ver Que esa experiencia no iba a ceder [Chorus] Semilla de chile en mi vida se coló El dolor en mi dedo ya se instaló Los negros de rifle me enseñaron lección No juegues con fuego ni con picazón [Bridge] Ahora cada vez que siento ese picor Recuerdo el barrio y su dolor Los chicos con rifles me cuidaron al fin La lección aprendí entre risas y chin
[Verse] We got grease on our hands and no plan Honda 125 roaring through this land Freedom in the throttle joy in the wind Me and my friend like we’ll never end [Chorus] Riding into the sunrise with the moon in our mirrors Two hearts racing fast leaving behind our fears Pavement under wheels stories in the air Nothing else matters just getting there [Verse 2] Caffeine in our veins never sleeping in Tires spinning tracks where we've never been Laughing at the world from atop our ride Chasing down the night with my friend by my side [Chorus] Riding into the sunrise with the moon in our mirrors Two hearts racing fast leaving behind our fears Pavement under wheels stories in the air Nothing else matters just getting there [Bridge] Engine's hum like a song we both know No looking back just forward we go Dust clouds in the wake and stars up above Honda 125 it’s freedom we love [Chorus] Riding into the sunrise with the moon in our mirrors Two hearts racing fast leaving behind our fears Pavement under wheels stories in the air Nothing else matters just getting there

[Verse] In the shadows screams arise City lights bleed like the skies Hear the silence fracture bones In the quiet riot zones [Verse 2] Broken halos neon signs Lost in alleys twisted minds Battles fought on midnight streets Echoes of defeat's retreat [Chorus] Find the spark in thunder's roar Clashing dreams on cracked dance floor Stand your ground in this dark fight In the heart of endless night [Verse 3] Masked faces spin in haze Lost in fiery punk rock maze Rebellion's anthem shakes the ground In the void where rebels drown [Bridge] Wasteland preachers chant our doom Factory-smoked skies consume Hope shines faint like dying stars Lit by lighters and guitars [Chorus] Find the spark in thunder's roar Clashing dreams on cracked dance floor Stand your ground in this dark fight In the heart of endless night
Sa dulong bahagi ng bayan ko, May lungsod ng tapang, ginto sa puso. Sa alon ng Sulu, sa hangin ng lahi, Nakaukit ang kwento ng ating pagkakaisa. May vinta sa dagat, may sigaw ng laban, Kasaysayan ay buhay sa ating isipan. Sa kuta ng kahapon, sa awit ng ngayon, Zamboanga, ikaw ay yaman ng nasyon! Oh, Zamboanga, Latin City ng Asya, Sa Chavacano ang puso’y sumisinta. Makulay ang awit, matibay ang diwa, Sa bawat hakbang, ika’y buhay na alamat! Subanen, Samal, Tausug, Badjao, Dugong mandirigma, di matitibag. Dumating ang dayuhan, nagtayo ng pader, Ngunit kalayaan, hindi naglaho kailanman! Hermosa Festival, ating ipagbunyi, Virgen del Pilar, ilaw ng gabi. Tambol ng kalye, sayaw ng pag-asa, Zamboangueño, walang inuurungan! Sa bawat alon, sa bawat hangin, Zamboanga mahal, ikaw ang bituin!
[Verse] Oh you think you're hot shit like you own this place But your clout’s on a timer yeah it’s dropping pace Sippin’ on success but it’s watered down Every hit you drop just a copycat sound [Verse 2] Your throne's crumbling fast like sand in the wind All the fake smiles and whispers they’re wearing thin You ride the waves but you don’t feel the sea All your fame’s just a shadow you can't break free [Chorus] Oh fallen idol how far will you go When the lights dim down and the truth starts to show Selling dreams you won’t see through Hands reaching out but there’s nothing of you [Verse 3] You sold your soul for a fashion parade But the glitz and the glamour they all start to fade Empty applause it's a hollow sound Reality checks when there's no one around [Bridge] Waking up alone with the curtains drawn The crowd’s moved on you’re yesterday's song Grasping at the glitter but it's just tinsel thin The empire you built now wearing thin [Verse 4] Keep preaching fame like it's the holy grail When the curtain falls who will lift your veil Your crown’s all tarnished every ruby a lie In the end it's the truth you can't deny
[Verse] Cucu saw the jar of gold Dreamin' of those briny cold Pickles whisper tales of old Every wish and secret told [Verse 2] Crunchy in that dance hall green Livin' life like a jarred queen Cucu thinks it's all a scene Wonderin' what the pickles mean [Chorus] Cucu's wishin' slick and sly Jumpin' out that rack so high Pickles in the jar say hi Dancin' moonlit lullabies [Bridge] Salt and garlic in the air Cucu's heart just laid bare Pickles always seem to share What it's like without a care [Verse 3] Through the garden shadows fall Cucu hears the pickle call From the shelf inside the hall Climbin' up but it’s so tall [Chorus] Cucu's wishin' slick and sly Jumpin' out that rack so high Pickles in the jar say hi Dancin' moonlit lullabies
[Verse] Heat bends the air scorched wide and true Footsteps lost under skies painted blue Searching peace in mirages distant Thirst quenched when hearts stay persistent [Verse] Dust devils dance with a haunting grace Each gust whispering of a broken place Echoes bounce off canyon walls steep Silent screams of dreams we keep [Chorus] Find me an oasis in this barren sea Where souls can rest wild and free No more tears no love obscure Labyrinths fade into hearts pure [Verse] Sun dips low shadows grow long Rhythms of solace in every song Winds howl stories of lands far Night’s soft veil hides each star [Verse] Broken paths lead to hidden truths Scars from battles in search of roots Hands reach out through the emptiest night Union found in a shared plight [Chorus] Find me an oasis in this barren sea Where souls can rest wild and free No more tears no love obscure Labyrinths fade into hearts pure
[Verse 1] Suffocating, hands are shaking Room is spinning, lungs are breaking Cigarettes and shattered screens Nothing feels like it’s even me [Bridge] [whispered, layered voices] "Get up. Get up. Get up." [distorted scream] "I CAN'T!" [Verse 2] No sleep, no dreams, no motivation Just another vice, just a new fixation I hate the mirror, I hate my face I hate the way I leave no trace [Chorus] Mirror mirror on the wall Who's the biggest loser of them all? (IT’S ME!) Breaking out and on the floor I don’t wanna live no more [Verse 3] Paranoia knocking loud Shut the blinds, don’t make a sound Every shadow’s got my name Or maybe I’ve just gone insane [Secondary Chorus] I’m stuck in a war with my own head Prisoner to things I’ve never even said Too weak to live but I don’t wanna stay I’m just a loser fading away [Bridge] [whispered, spiraling, overlapping] "You’re a joke, you’re a fake, you’re a waste, you’re a stain—" [distorted, growing] "WHY WON’T IT SHUT UP?!" [Verse 4] Fingers shaking, it feels so right But I’m empty, drowning in the night It’s just a touch, but it burns so deep A fleeting fix that never lets me sleep I’m lost in it, I can’t get away The high feels good, but I start to fade It’s never enough, just a hollow crave I’m reaching out, but I’m digging my grave [Final Chorus - more desperate, breaking voice effect] Mirror mirror on the wall Who's the biggest loser of them all? (IT’S ME, IT’S ME, IT’S ME!!) Breaking out and on the floor I don’t wanna live no more
