Sword and Stone

I know a place where knights still roam,
Dreaming of finding the sword in the stone.
Maidens with whispers favors bestowed.
Banners are blazing and gauntlets are thrown.
Grip light, shield steady.
Clear sight, edge ready.
For honor, strength feeds.
Salutes given, battle proven, still bleed.
I know a place where knights still roam,
Dreaming of finding the sword in the stone.
Maidens with whispers favors bestowed.
Banners are blazing and gauntlets are thrown.
(Repeat)
Grip light, shield steady.
Clear sight, edge ready.
For honor, strength feeds.
Salutes given, battle proven, still bleed.
I know a place where knights still roam,
Dreaming of finding the sword in the stone.
Maidens with whispers favors bestowed.
Banners are blazing and gauntlets are thrown.
(Repeat)
Next test where the blades end.
Every breath that’s taken.
Something better in the making.
I know, this I know. Feels like home.
Oh, sword in the stone.
Grip light, shield steady.
Clear sight, edge ready.
For honor, strength feeds.
Salutes given, battle proven, still bleed.
I know a place where knights still roam,
Dreaming of finding the sword in the stone.
Maidens with whispers favors bestowed.
Banners are blazing and gauntlets are thrown.
I know a place where knights still roam,
Dreaming of finding the sword in the stone.
Maidens with whispers favors bestowed.
Deeds live forever as long as they’re told.
<dreaming of finding the sword in the stone>
Knights still roam <dreaming of finding the sword in the stone>.
Oh, sword in the stone <dreaming of finding the sword in the stone>.

Not Gonna Matter
04:03
|

|
Knew from the start, bound to fall apart.
At least that’s what others say.
Smiled a little grin I took it on the chin.
Went for it anyway. I went for it anyway.
Maybe this way will be the death of me.
After all these years all I know how to be.
Take it or leave it’s what I’m trying to say.
Not gonna matter much no anyway.
More than meets the eye, reaching for the sky.
Never learned to turn away.
Smiled a little grin and took it on the chin.
Went for it anyway. I went for it anyway.
Maybe this way will be the death of me.
After all these years all I know how to be.
Take it or leave it’s what I’m trying to say.
Not gonna matter much no anyway.
Like living in a dream.
Where you fight but at slow speed.
And you don’t know what it means, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Maybe this way will be the death of me.
After all these years all I know how to be.
Take it or leave it’s what I’m trying to say.
Not gonna matter much no anyway.
Anyway!

Renaissance Man
03:30
|

|
Barely 18 when I left home.
Went about as far as I could go.
Now my life’s the road!
Had no answers if I’m honest.
A little tattered a little tarnished.
Gotta stay in control!
Never listened never shown.
Wasn’t ready for what I didn’t know.
Now I finally know!
Try to understand. Never had a plan.
That’s the way I am. Renaissance man.
Walk along this path I’m taking.
Still not sure what it’s making.
Things are finally shaking!
Comes and goes in little pieces.
Guess that’s how my life teaches.
Picking up pieces!
Try to understand. Never had a plan.
That’s the way I am. Renaissance man.
Sometimes you win sometimes you lose (x4).
Try to understand. Never had a plan.
That’s the way I am. Renaissance Man.
Moving fast, oh so slow.
Holding on <renaissance man> Until I know!
Not a place for the bitter hearted.
Gotta finish what I started.
This course that I charted!
Try to understand. Never had a plan.
That’s the way I am. Renaissance man.

|
Weight of the years take a toll on me.
I’m faded and jaded but that’s all you see yeah.
None of that is gonna stop me now.
This time you’ll know for sure.
I’m still moving forward.
Kicking down your door.
Cause I got you.
Oh you should’ve thought through.
Whoa, it’s gonna cost you.
Yeah I got you. Here it comes.
Half a step slower but some things I know.
Got a little wiser living this long.
Not enough reasons to hold back now.
This time you’ll know for sure.
I’m still moving forward.
Kicking down your door.
Cause I got you.
Oh, you should’ve thought through.
Whoa, it’s gonna cost you.
Yeah, I got you. Get me some.
Life can be a big gamble.
No you thought you’d lay it on the line.
Now is the time. Better make up your mind.
Should’ve thought through.
Oh, it’s gonna cost you. Yeah, I got you.
Got you, yeah, you should’ve thought through.
Oh it’s gonna cost you. Yeah.
I got you.

The Long Road
04:07

|
Hold on, thinking that you’re going strong.
Truth’s trying to let on, you might a been wrong.
Keep up. Can’t count on blind luck.
Put up or shut up. Part of the show.
Oh it’s a long road you’re walking on where does it go? (x2)
Oh it’s a long road you’re walking on and you’ll never know,
Where does it go?
Take a chance. Might be the last dance.
Giving it another glance. Grip it and go.
Stand your ground. Try to take a look around.
Maybe lose what you found. Switch it and go.
Oh it’s a long road you’re walking on where does it go? (x2)
Oh it’s a long road you’re walking on and you’ll never know,
Took the long road.
The road stretches out before you,
And it looks like hills ahead.
Sun beats down your spirit,
And your feet feel full of lead.
Oh it’s a long road you’re walking on where does it go? (x2)
Oh it’s a long road you’re walking on and you’ll never know.
Took the long road. (x3)

Still Standing
03:23
|

|
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Took me a little long.
Oh yeah, but now I’m moving on. Whoa.
You know I’d rather finish strong.
I finally figured out, how to follow through. Yow!
Won’t live in fear. It’s not why we’re here.
Still standing, we’re standing, here.
You know I’m kind of headed straight.
And I hope it’s not too late.
Just the same oh I better not wait.
Finally figured out, how to follow through. Yow!
Won’t live in fear. It’s not why we’re here.
Still standing, we’re standing, here.
From the corner of my mind.
Oh everything was fine.
Yeah I close my eyes. Yeah I just crossed the line.
Get it!
Won’t live in fear.
It’s not why we’re here.
Oh, still standing, we’re standing.
Still standing, we’re standing.
Won’t live in fear it’s not why we’re here. (x3)

Hold on Me
03:58
|
|||
|
An element of danger, in her black mail dress.
And there was something about her,
That I knew was gonna leave me a mess.
She was poetry in motion,
With those tik-tok hips.
And if I gotta be honest oh I hoped I wouldn’t get any rest.
Oh yeah, can’t believe it I’m falling apart. Oh.
Set me free. Yeah.
Just a prisoner from the start. Oh.
Hold on me yeah.
Can’t believe it I’m falling apart. Oh.
Set me free yeah. Got a hold on me.
Terrible tremor when our eyes first met.
And though I knew that it was crazy,
But I really had to see what was next.
She was sleep talking silky,
With those lips I craved.
No never for a minute was there ever a chance,
I’d be saved.
Can’t believe it I’m falling apart. Oh.
Set me free. Yeah.
Just a prisoner from the start. Oh.
Hold on me. Yeah.
Can’t believe it I’m falling apart. Oh.
Set me free. Yeah.
Got a hold on me.
Ready or not. Ready or not. Ready or not.
Damage done.
Can’t believe it I’m falling apart. Oh.
Set me free. Yeah.
Just a prisoner from the start. Oh.
Hold on me. Yeah.
Can’t believe it I’m falling apart. Oh.
Set me free. Yeah.
Got a hold on me. (x3)

Truth
04:18
|
|||
|
Can’t hide, feel the rumble.
Across the sky, the stars crumble.
Wheel of time, going under.
Long kiss goodnight, we ride the thunder.
Worlds collide, sit and wonder.
Was it a lie handed to you?
Or is it the truth?
Gotta find what you believe in.
Not going out without a reason.
Twisted spinning on a breakout.
What a cataclysmic let down.
Ray of light, bright and shining.
Spun around underground in hiding.
Deeper down, keep sliding.
Reaching out, still stabilizing.
Worlds collide, sit and wonder.
Was it a lie handed to you?
Or is it the truth?
Gotta find what you believe in.
Not going out without a reason.
Twisted spinning on a breakout.
What a cataclysmic let down.
Burning out I’m headed for outer space.
And the countdown’s at 2.
Headed straight for you!
Oh is it the truth?
Gotta find what you believe in.
Not going out without a reason.
Twisted spinning on a breakout.
What a cataclysmic let down.
Tearing out, descending.
Iron will, still not bending.
Staring down, crazed and grinning.
Not the end, just the beginning.
Worlds collide, sit and wonder.
Was it a lie handed to you?
Or is it the truth?
Gotta find what you believe in.
Not going out without a reason.
Twisted spinning on a breakout.
What a cataclysmic let down.
No. No. Is it the truth?
Is it the truth?
No. No. Is it the truth?

Won't Look Back
03:40

Yeah! Yeah!
Young couple, Johnny and Sue.
So in love wondering what to do.
In a place that just wants to knock ‘em down.
Came up with a plan to get out of town.
Yeah afraid to go even more to stay.
Couldn’t see any other way.
No goodbyes knew it was time.
Closed the doors made up their minds.
Yeah, sun’s on the horizon.
Got directions in her lap.
Few hundred bucks, a pickup truck.
And they’re never looking back.
Like most of us got kicked around.
Wondered if they’d find stable ground.
Broke some rules. They crossed some lines.
Did what was needed in the hardest times.
Sometimes wonder what the fight was for.
A game that ends without a final score.
But rain’s soon ending and roads turn dry.
A new horizon there to meet the sky.
Yeah, sun’s on the horizon.
Got directions in her lap.
Oh. Few hundred bucks, a pickup truck.
And they’re never looking back.
Won’t look back.
Finding what’s inside them.
Oh, what direction will it be?
Oh. Hope the sun’s still rising.
Have to wait and see. Yeah!
Yeah, sun’s on the horizon.
Got directions in her lap.
Oh. Few hundred bucks, a pickup truck.
And they’re never looking back.
Oh. Few hundred bucks, a pickup truck.
And they’re never looking back.
Oh. Few hundred bucks, a pickup truck.
And they’re never looking back.
Won’t look back. Won’t look back. Yeah!

Echoes and footsteps no longer heard.
Memories and whispers.
Don’t have the words.
There’s an empty place where you used to sit.
So hard to fill it. Nothing will fit.
Oh and I’m missing my shadow today.
And I’m choking on the right words to say.
Cause I’m saying goodbye.
Yeah I’m saying goodbye.
Yeah I’m barely alive.
Yeah I’m saying goodbye.
Caught a glimpse of you.
Corner of my eye.
You were never there.
So that’s why oh and I’m missing my shadow today.
And I’m choking on the right words to say.
I’m saying goodbye. Yeah I’m saying goodbye.
Yeah, I’m barely alive. Yeah, I’m saying goodbye.
Life drags us where we don’t want to go.
Stagger through, try to fake it just for show.
I’m gonna to have to face what’s yet to be.
But I know that you won’t be with me.
Yeah! Goodbye!
No I’m saying goodbye.
Yeah, I’m saying goodbye.
Yeah I’m barely alive. Yeah I’m saying goodbye.
Goodbye.

Valhalla Calls
05:07
|
|||
|
Turn around one last glimpse in the daylight.
Bones and rust back to dust as you pass by.
Touch the wall hear the call for the last time.
Words carved in stone.
Faster! Faster! Valhalla calls.
Blade in flight. Bringer of night.
Fools feckless fall.
Faster! Faster! Valhalla calls.
Berserkr cry. Last goodbye.
In the warrior’s hall.
Raven’s eye taken to sky. Do you feel it?
Journey on wing, Valkyries sing in the distance.
Fire bound, burning it down in the bear dream.
Words carved in stone.
Faster! Faster! Valhalla calls.
Blade in flight. Bringer of night.
Fools feckless fall.
Faster! Faster! Valhalla calls.
Berserkr cry. Last goodbye.
In the warrior’s hall.
Breathing in let it begin no more waiting.
Betrayers ahead will sleep as the dead bondi breaking.
Pushed it too far and they knew.
Now they’ll meet the beast in you.
Awaken.
Faster! Faster! Valhalla calls.
Blade in flight. Bringer of night.
Fools feckless fall.
Faster! Faster! Valhalla calls.
Berserkr cry. Last goodbye.
In the warrior’s hall.
(Repeat)
Warrior’s Hall!
