Mann vs Machine

Whatever happened to the good old days back home, can anybody tell me, Do you remember, Do you remember, when we'd be standing around the fireplace, drinking beers and smoking cigarettes, laughing and joking but now everything changed, nobodies fighting, no ones sleeping with others peoples wives, somethings strange, why did everything change, I was always excited to finally make it home, it's where i grew up, making castles in the sand, washing myself in the creek, sometimes we ran out of soap, cleaning dishes in the waterfall, taking baths outside in the rain before school, walking in the mud just to catch the bus, and when we got to school, we were given Dictionaries and told to learn proper English, what ever happened to those days, Then we got older, some of us got wiser, a lot did time in prison, and never came home, labor weekends, rugby and netball, we didn't care win or lose. as long as we were together, rain or shine, the weather didn't matter, scoring tries, sliding in puddles, being knocked out from head high tackles, and when their drunk everyone starts looking beautiful, next minute your sleeping with a married women while her husbands at war in the middle east, whatever happened to those days, Do you remember, Do you remember, when we'd be standing around the fireplace, drinking beers and smoking cigarettes, laughing and joking but now everything changed, nobodies fighting, no ones sleeping with others peoples wives, somethings strange, why did everything change, And we miss those that are no longer here on earth with us, our aunties, our uncles, our nieces and nephews, our cousins, and all our ancestors, from the bottom of our hearts, to the stars above our home, our land, our gift from god, I'd never forget the advise they all gave me, I'll never forget the love they all showed me, I'm more then grateful, but whatever happened to those days, Do you remember, Do you remember, when we'd be standing around the fireplace, drinking beers and smoking cigarettes, laughing and joking but now everything changed, nobodies fighting, no ones sleeping with others peoples wives, somethings strange, why did everything change, yeah whatever happened to those days, why did everything change, where have all the blackberries gone, and the horses and cows, the uncles use to kick our ass, and there'll be fights out front by the gate, hey hey hey,

[Verse] Arise o brother for the fight O countries hear the bell tonight Against the worship of the dark Against the Sin that leaves a mark [Verse 2] Let people's prayers pierce the air Rise above like purest flare For the light that burns within Heals the shadows of our sins [Chorus] From the ashes we ascend Brothers sisters hand in hand Every vow and every cry Reach towards the starry sky [Verse 3] Stand tall and fearless take a stand Hear the roar across the land From the ruins we shall rise With the truth that never dies [Bridge] Together hearts in unison We echo through the canyon Breaking chains that held us down We’re the light in every town [Chorus] From the ashes we ascend Brothers sisters hand in hand Every vow and every cry Reach towards the starry sky

[Verse] Toda mi vida estaba escondido En un rincón oscuro sin sentido Hoy me decidí a ser quien soy Y salir de la cueva sin perdón [Verse 2] Mis amigos no lo pueden creer Dicen que es mentira no me pueden ver Les digo con orgullo lo que siento El closet ya no es mi aislamiento [Chorus] Estoy fuera del armario Fresco como un sicario Ya no más secretos bajo llave Libertad es mi nueva clave [Verse 3] Mi madre se desmayó al oír Que su hijo ya no iba a fingir Mi padre se quedó sin palabras Mientras yo me reía como cabras [Chorus] Estoy fuera del armario Fresco como un sicario Ya no más secretos bajo llave Libertad es mi nueva clave [Bridge] Voy bailando en la calle Sin temor en el detalle Luzco mi verdad con orgullo El mundo es mi pañuelo

[Verse] A flash through the night sky Silent stars in your eyes Time stood still we held on Breathing in the night's calm [Verse 2] Your shadow danced with mine Echoes soft intertwine Words unspoken drift slow Through the twilight’s dim glow [Chorus] Nothing said it was clear In your gaze no more fear Lost within the night’s fold Secrets that we never told [Verse 3] Now the dawn creeps gently Horizon breaks so silently Fading whispers a trace In that moment found grace [Chorus] Nothing said it was clear In your gaze no more fear Lost within the night’s fold Secrets that we never told [Verse 4] Just your breath and heartbeat Melodies in the repeat In the silence we grew One with night just us two

[Verse] Despertar entre ruinas hoy Llanto roto en la ciudad Los gritos del olvido son Ecos que no vuelven más [Verse 2] El cielo ardiente sin razón Cuervos vuelan sin parar El precio de esta destrucción Almas que no volverán [Chorus] No más guerra no más sangre No más sombras en la piel No más miedo en la mirada No más noches sin un ayer [Verse 3] El humo negro nubla el sol Lágrimas en el papel Las cartas que nunca llegaron Esperanzas en un burdel [Verse 4] Suenan bombas sin perdón Niños huyen del hogar La paz atrapada en prisión Corazones quieren volar [Chorus] No más guerra no más sangre No más sombras en la piel No más miedo en la mirada No más noches sin un ayer

[Verse] Leveling down never thought I could think this way On my way down the road on a resting place Sky over the horizon landscape like a portrait Down shears heat vibrating time to not hesitate [Chorus] We’re lost in the dust with dreams in our hands Whispers in the wind come join the band Heartbeats like rain on the empty land Hold my hand we'll make a stand [Verse 2] Silent whispers calling our names from afar Miles of desert with no guide no star Eyes on the skyline searching for that spark Through the shadows we race through the dark [Chorus] We’re lost in the dust with dreams in our hands Whispers in the wind come join the band Heartbeats like rain on the empty land Hold my hand we'll make a stand [Bridge] Every step a journey every breath a fight Walking through the fire just to reach the light In the middle of nowhere finding our way We’ll chase the morning till the break of day [Chorus] We’re lost in the dust with dreams in our hands Whispers in the wind come join the band Heartbeats like rain on the empty land Hold my hand we'll make a stand

[Verse] Mind sharper than a razorblade, cut in the shade, Spitting rhymes like a dragon's breath, soul never fades, City lights flicker, shadows dance on the pavement, Life's a game of chess, every move's an amazement. [Verse 2] Sneaker squeaks on concrete, rhythm in the dark, Life's a gallery, I'm an abstract work of art, Whispers in the alleys, tales behind each door, Heartbeats sync with basslines, always wanting more. [Chorus] Street symphonies, beats in my chest, Night of the clever, rise above the rest, Verse after verse, our stories unfold, In the ink of the night, legends bold. [Verse 3] Rooftop visions, skyline in my grip, Flow colder than a mountain stream, never slips, Rhymes interwoven like fibers in silk, Truth in my words, no need for guilt. [Bridge] Twist in the tale, shadows come alive, Narratives entwined, reflecting city vibe, Echoes of the past, echoes of the now, Future foretold in the sweat of my brow. [Verse 4] Street lamps glow, wisdom in the cracks, Stories of the brave etched on the tracks, Hip-hop heartbeat, pulse in the veins, On the night of the clever, we embrace the pains.
