(Keep lighting fires)
When the darkness comes, when the shadows fall,
It's your chance to burn like a star.
There's an age old flame, born from one man's pain,
That has made us who we are.
We were born into the dark, in an ocean full of stars,
Till someone turned the lights on.
By sharing what he'd known, well he helped a fire grow,
Though some would like it forgotten.
And surprise, surprise, they didn't want the fire burning bright.
Cos one man with a vision can show the world what's right,
So we'll keep, yeah we'll keep lighting fires.
What you know is ammunition, sometimes you have to fight,
So we'll keep, yeah we'll keep lighting fires.
One man can change the world.
Oh that ignorance is gold for the ones that seek control,
They prey on our emotions.
Education's what they fear, cos you can't kill an idea
Once the world has heard it been spoken.
With lies they try to cover up the fire that's burning bright.
Cos one man with a vision can show the world what's right,
So we'll keep, yeah we'll keep lighting fires.
What you know is ammunition, sometimes you have to fight,
So we'll keep, yeah we'll keep lighting fires.
Oh-oh-oh
And when the thunder rolls (just hold on),
And when the vultures call (just hold on),
It's dark before the dawn (just hold on),
So just hold on, and on, and o-o-o-on.
Pandora
(It's the hope that kills you)
Left my heart in a box so long I forgot it wasn't locked,
And you found it.
You woke it up, you fed it love, just when I forgot what hunger was,
And it's hungry.
Oh, but love ain't food, it's a drink, poison makes you forget how to think.
But I crave it all the same.
And it's alright, it's alright.
But when you're two steps over the edge and there's nowhere to fall,
It's always the hope of a little bit more that dragged you over the wall.
And I forgot why people believe that some things are better mysteries.
And I remembered why I began to feel nothing at all:
It's the hope that kills you.
You were made, heaven sent to teach me all the wrong ways that I went.
And you did it,
But not without my pride torn up, not without my soul gone bust in the service of
Love, love. Well I've tasted love,
And it's alright, I guess love's alright.
Cos when you're two steps over the edge and there's nowhere to fall,
It's always the hope of a little bit more that dragged you over the wall.
And I forgot why people believe that some things are better mysteries.
And I remembered why I began to feel nothing at all:
It's the hope that kills you.
Cos when you're two steps over the edge and there's nowhere to fall,
It's always the hope of a little bit more that dragged you over the wall.
And I forgot why people believe that some things are better mysteries.
And I remembered why I began to feel nothing at all, at all, at all,
I don't wanna feel nothing, woah.
I don't wanna feel nothing, woah.
Trouble it can make you strong, but you can only fight so long,
Unless you've got something to fight for.
Oh try again, cos hope, it hurts, but in the end it's all that works.
A new day is on the horizon.
O-oh yeah, oh oh.
O-oh yeah, oh oh.
I don't wanna feel nothing, don't wanna feel nothing,
I don't wanna feel nothing, oh no, I don't wanna feel.
Please stop the hurt! Don't think outside the box!
Please stop the hurt! No. No. Ho-oh.
Midas
(Glitters like it's gold)
When I get to the top, I'm not gonna stop until the world is in my hands.
There's so much I could do, I'm gonna prove to be supplying your demand.
I'm trying to make you understand.
Sure is nice to meet you, I'm the greatest thing that you've ever known.
Some men like to see through the world and everyone in it.
I prefer my re flection, and I'm not done...
Till everything glitters like gold! Gold! Gold! Go-old!
Gold! Gold! Gold! Go-old!
Gold! (Glitters like it's) Gold! (Glitters like it's)
Gold! (Glitters like it's) Go-old!
Gold! (Glitters like it's) Gold! (Glitters like it's)
Gold! (Glitters like it's)... Go-old!
If you're shaking my hand, understand what it costs,
Cos I rock so hard it would take a god to make an ass of me.
You best believe that I'll let nothing and nobody stand in my way.
Cos I waited my whole life for this day, now I've got currency,
Y'all can't step to me!
I sure am feeling hungry. There's nothing like a win when you need a buzz.
So I'm gon' make you love me, the world, and everyone in it.
And I'mma do it for the love, and I won't give up...
Till everything glitters like gold! Gold! Gold! Go-old!
Gold! Gold! Gold! Go-old!
Gold! (Glitters like it's) Gold! (Glitters like it's)
Gold!(Glitters like it's) Go-old!
Gold! (Glitters like it's) Gold! (Glitters like it's)
Gold! (Glitters like it's)... Go-old!
'Ey you, yeah I said hey you! Yeah I'm talking to you,
And anyone who thinks that they'd do a number on me
Cos I, I've got the power, and I, I've got the power,
And you, you can't stop me now, you can't stop me!
Cos I've got the power, oh I've got the power,
Yeah, I've got the power, yeah, I've got it.
Because I've got the power, and you can't stop me!
You can't stop me, you can't stop me now!
Paris
(Can You hear the bells?)
Can you hear the bells in the future we'll build ourselves?
Take my hand and love no one else.
There's a story that the world will tell
About our love and the worlds that collide in us.
We'll reach heights that only stars dream of,
Light the world if we burn bright enough.
And I said hold on a minute, this feels an awful lot like a fairytale!
And I said hold on a minute.
Baby, oh this world is big, we should see it.
Don't accept the life life put in our hands!
Now I've found a love I'd love to hold on to
In any way I can, and can you hear... the drums?
Can you hear the drums? When the world comes, and oh they come
To tempt you from this life back to your other one,
Just remember love untested is a love unsung!
And I believe you're the only thing that's holding me
Closer to the man I'm trying to be.
And for you, I'll fight a hundred thousand enemies.
Oh-oh-oh-oh, and if I should fall, remember me!
I, I just wanna live, woah.
I, I just wanna live with you.
Our love's a precious thing,
So I wanna live. Whatever it takes we're gonna... live!
Baby, oh this world is big, but who needs it?
You're the only life I'd like to explore.
Yeah, we've made mistakes, love aches but it's worth it,
Even with the fights, the fears and the falls.
Oh the best and worst 'I do' I do for you.
Better quick and bright than life in the dark.
And if it's the end, my friend, it's been worth it.
Time to pay the price for stealing your heart,
And can you feel my heart?
I'd rather die together than live apart forever.
Can you feel my heart?
And can you feel my heart?
And can you feel my heart?
The moment you leave, you're taking with you
All the rays of sunshine in my life.
I need you to breathe, the air is so cruel
In all the months you don't kiss me goodnight.
And I only feel alive when the sun on is on my side,
When I'm swimming in the light with you.
And I swear I'm gonna change, that this feeling doesn't age,
That the distance won't betray the truth.
Summer, don't go. Summer, don't go.
Summer, don't go. Summer, don't go.
Go back to the world that gets you all of the time,
And I'll get by on what you have to spare.
It's never enough, I'm losing the fight.
Without you here, I forget how to care.
And I only feel alive when the sun on is on my side,
When I'm swimming in the light with you.
And I swear I'm gonna change, that this feeling doesn't age,
That the distance won't betray the truth.
Summer, don't go! Summer, no, summer, no, summer, don't go!
No, no, no, no, no!
When you're gone, I can't even hear the music, I can't even feel the sunrise.
When you're gone, all I think about is beauty, and all it ever takes is my time.
When you're gone, I can't even hear the music, I can't even feel the sunrise.
When you're gone “Hold on”, that's what they told me.
“Hold on”, that's what they said, “Hold on, hold on, hold on!” But when you're gone,
Oh, when you're gone, oh, when you're gone, oh, when you're gone
Oh, when you're gone, oh, when you're gone and you're gone and you're gone
And you're gone no, no, no, no...
persephone
(Summer don't go)
I was young when you broke my heart.
I couldn't own these scars, oh, I was confused.
Cos you were one light that shone through every dark,
Oh, and I chased it hard, only to lose.
Because when something's dead, you should leave it to die.
You can't bring it back. Believe me, I've tried!
I went to Hell and back, looking for you.
Didn't wanna say goodbye to the person I knew,
But you can't wake the dead by singing the blues.
I should be in love, instead of stuck mourning the memory of you.
I thought your love was gonna open doors.
I thought what's mine is yours, for all of time.
But the girl I love died, and you were just a shade.
I watched you fade away and I cried.
Because when something's dead, you should leave it alone.
You can't get it back. Believe me, I know!
I went to Hell and back, looking for you.
Didn't wanna say goodbye to the person I knew,
But you can't wake the dead by singing the blues.
I should be in love, instead of stuck mourning the memory of you.
I went to Hell and back, looking for you.
Didn't wanna say goodbye to the person I knew,
But you can't wake the dead by singing the blues.
I should be in love, instead of stuck mourning the memory of you.
You, you, you, you, you.
Your imagery, you're in-between,
I can't believe your idiocy.
Eurydice, Eurydice,
I can't believe Eurydice.
Eurydice, oh, no, no,
Oh no, oh no, oh, no, no, no.
orpheus
(hell and back)
Sometimes I feel like a man,
Sometimes I feel like a monster.
Am I doing the best I can?
Will I get to where I want to?
Cos I'm so lost inside the same old space.
It's been so long since I have seen one face
That didn't look at me like I just don't belong.
And every day ends with the same old tears
In the labyrinth of my own fears,
But if I'm fighting to survive, is that so wrong?
And yeah I got my doubts, but I got no remorse.
If you mess with the bull, then you get...
The ho-o-o-orns.
Sometimes it feels like it's home,
Sometimes I'm trapped and lonely.
Which way gets me what I want?
Which way leads me to someone that knows me?
And am I always gonna be that guy,
Going nowhere cos I'm trapped in by
All the walls I built that keep me in the dark?
And I'm not proud of everything I've done,
And there's a million ways that I could run,
But it's the only world I know, and it breaks my heart, it breaks my heart!
If you step to me, you're either quick or dead,
Cos we all get lost inside my head.
Oh you have been warned, yeah, I'm seeing red.
If you mess with the bull you get...
Minotaur
(If you mess with the bull)
You say “I don't know you well,
But I would like to get to know you better.”
And I say something offhand,
Like “That would be my pleasure.”
I feel like a baby's balloon that's been
Let loose to fly off forever
Until I pop. I wait for that moment
When everything starts to go wrong,
When I come on too strong.
And you give me wings of feathers and wax.
And your sunlight stings, the closer I get
I just wait to sink, for these wings to melt
As I fly to you.
And I, I'm scared of being left alone.
I'm paranoid, why?
Cos baby, I've been hurt before,
And it's my fault.
But I go insane, trying to keep a reign
On the way I feel.
I keep flying and falling
Cos I'm just an Icarus.
You burn and set me on fire.
Now it's your turn to scatter these ashes.
And I, I don't learn, cos every time I fly towards the light
I'm gonna burst, and go down in flames.
But I'll light up the sky with your name.
And you give me wings of feathers and wax.
And your sunlight stings, the closer I get
I just wait to sink, for these wings to melt
As I fly to you.
And I, I'm scared of being left alone.
I'm paranoid, why?
Cos baby, I've been hurt before,
And it's my fault.
But I go insane, trying to keep a reign
On the way I feel.
I keep flying and falling
Cos I'm just one more hopeful man
Who's scared of being left alone.
(Baby oh this world is big, you should see it)
A paranoid man
Cos baby, I've been hurt before,
(Don't accept the life life put in your hands)
And it's my fault.
But I go insane, trying to keep a reign
(Just because you lost the love you held on to)
On the way I feel.
I keep flying and falling
(Don't make this the end)
Cos I'm just an Icarus.
(This is not the end)
I'm just an Icarus.
icarus
(flying and falling)
Breathing deep, I'm losing sleep, will I last the course?
I'm lost inside your eyes, and what's more, I find that I am
Petrified, oh the rage you ride is a wild horse!
You'll run me down, and cry about the cost.
Growing cold, cut off from the world,
Won't you brush those snakes from your eyes?
Turned to stone, yes I'm turned to stone
By the visage that you'll never disguise.
Pebble teardrops, watch the blood stop flowing now.
There's no regrets, cos you can't get blood from a stone.
But as the poison spreads inside this bed, I call you out.
But you lose your head, and this love is dead for us.
Growing cold, cut off from the world,
Won't you brush those snakes from your eyes?
Turned to stone, yes I'm turned to stone
By the visage that you'll never disguise.
First impression has no measure when you look beyond her shell.
Her eyes are deep, they say so much. Hers is not a human touch.
Oh look again, look again! You will see beneath the skin.
Oh look again, look again! You will see the beast within
medusa
(turned to stone)
pegasus
(let it soar)
My dearest hurt, my truest friend,
The one that builds me up again.
Too long I've tried to hide the lies.
The fear inside ain't going nowhere
Till I decide to take a ride
And fly to all the worlds I've never dreamed of before.
Spread your wings before you hit the floor!
Let it sing! Let it soar! Let it soar!
So here we are, both old and new.
We need something borrowed and something blues.
So let's escape, let's fly away!
The wind and rain don't bother me,
So let's decide to take a ride
And fly to all the worlds I've never dreamed of before.
Spread your wings before you hit the floor!
Let it sing! Let it soar!
Spread your wings before you hit the floor,
Before you hit the floor!
Let it sing! Let it soar!
Spread your wings before you hit the floor!
Let it sing! Let it sing!
And hold on!
