FLAMES

There's a fire in your heart, like the sun in the sky
With a dream that stays bright, as the days pass by
So take that step forward, leave the doubt behind
We're the masters of our fate, we've got mountains to climb

We are the flames that light up the night
We are the stars that shine with all our might

With the wind in our sails, and the world at our feet
Every road that we take, a new soul to greet
We won't back down, no we won't ever fade
We'll walk our own path, never follow the shade

We are the flames that light up the night
We are the stars that shine with all our might

With grit in our souls, and fire in our eyes
We'll break through the barriers, like eagles we rise
In the face of the storm, hear our rallying cry
We're the dreamers and doers, reaching for the sky

Every scar tells a story, every struggle a song
In the heart of the battle, it's where we belong

With each step we take, the horizon expands
Through the valleys and peaks, in this vast, open land
We'll carry the torch, blaze our own trails
In this epic journey, where dreams prevail

We are the flames that light up the night
We are the stars that shine with all our might


CARVED INTO MY HEART

You brought home that first kitten, oh, the joy in your eyes
Taught you how to roller skate, beneath those summer skies
Your laughter was the music, that played in our days
In every single moment, you amazed

Those days, they're carved into my heart
Time may change us, but we'll never be apart

Little girl, you used to sit upon my knee
I remember drinking fake cups of tea
We'd explore the fields, see the wonders all around
From ladybugs to rainbows, magic could be found

Those days, they're carved into my heart
Time may change us, but we'll never be apart

Through the years you've grown, a woman strong and true
But I still see that little girl, in everything you do
Graduations, first loves, the tears and all the cheers
Every step you've taken, I've cherished through the years

Those days, they're carved into my heart
Time may change us, but we'll never be apart

And when night falls, I see those memories flash
The echoes of our laughter, like a tender photograph
Though the seasons change and time may weather lines
In the heart of your old man, your light forever shines

Those days, they're carved into my heart
Time may change us, but we'll never be apart


HEARTLAND

We drive these roads they paved with dreams
Past factories shut down, past fields of green
We used to dive into that cold lake
Stars above us, our futures to make

On the Fourth of July, with fireworks so high
We'd kiss under the sky, felt we could fly

But times have changed, the mills are gone
Left us searching for where we belong

Bobby's drilling oil rigs somewhere out far
Mary's got two kids and a rusty car
We'd cruise those empty streets, the radio loud
Rebel hearts determined and unbowed

Lenny's got a job down at the auto shop
Fixing cars that never seem to stop
Sally works the diner, pouring coffee late
Watching dreams slip by, behind those swinging gates

We'd spend our evenings at Joe's corner bar
Telling tales of glory under the neon star
Where Tommy'd play his guitar till morning light
And Sarah dreamt of leaving this town one night

Heartland tales, a string of fading dreams
We give it all to keep alive the seams

Every summer, 'neath that old oak tree
Whispered promises 'bout who we'd be
Skippin' stones and chasin' dreams
But life ain't always what it seems

The hardware store shut down last fall
And Charlie's got no steady work at all


BEAT-UP GUITAR

In a town where the steel mills roared loud,
A young boy faced the shadows in the crowd
With a mother's tears and a father's silent goodbye,
He found a beaten six-string, and let his soul fly

Lost in the chords of old records and blues,
He strummed away heartache, wore down his shoes

Through the haze of smoky bars and neon lights,
His fingers danced, pouring dreams into the night
But the needle's touch, and the bottle's comfort too,
They pulled him deeper, where darkness only grew

Yet the fire in his hands could not be denied,
On silver strings, he made the midnight cry

In the echoes of the steel town's endless night,
His chords would chase away each shadow's fright
With every note, he sought a glimpse of light,
A melody to lift him from the endless fight

Years went by, the band played every dive,
Chasing dreams on strings, barely staying alive

In the depths of despair, music became his guide,
Amidst the wreckage, where no dreams could hide
Through the burn of whisky and the haze of the smoke,
Each string he played was like a lifeline he spoke

At twenty-one, he hit the road with worn-out gear,
Chasing echoes of the life he wished was here

On the highways, in the backseat of old vans,
He chased the life, with a beat-up guitar in hand
From sold-out shows to the depths of his high,
His chains grew heavier with each lullaby

With every strum, he cast shadows aside,
But the demons of his past, they couldn't hide


EVERY LINE ON MY FACE

Daring dreams and whispered fears
It’s hard to face them after all these years
With every tear and every laugh
We paved our way to a different path
Along the light, through darkest nights
We found our peace in the morning light

As the years go by, the pages turn
Every wrinkle tells a story, every scar we earn
We chased the pride, we fought the fight
Mistakes we made, in the dead of night

Time won’t wait, it’s moving on
Every line on my face, sings a song

Through shattered dreams and restless nights
We held on tight, through the endless fights
With every dawn that breaks anew
We find ourselves, and the road we've traveled through

From the high of love to the lows of loss
We've paid the price, and we've felt the cost
But still we rise, despite the toll
As time won't wait, it takes its roll

Gazed upon the stars at night
Found the truth in morning's light
Through the pain, through strife, we grow
With every scar, with every woe

And as the seasons change, we see it clear
The journey made, through every single tear
Time won’t wait, it’s moving on
Every line on my face, sings a song


ROCK OF THE 90s

Walkin' down the memory lane, oh yeah
Mixtapes playin', Born in the USA
Caught in the groove, the riffs they slay
Livin' on a prayer every single day

Long nights under the moonlit sky
Piano man playin', makes me wanna fly

Runnin' through the quiet streets, oh yeah
Smells Like Teen Spirit on the airwaves
Heartstrings pulled by November Rain
Pourin' out our souls in every refrain

And we'd dance until the break of dawn
To the sound of dreams, and the hope we'd drawn

In the Rock of the 90s, we found our way
With Born to Run and sweet sounds of yesterday
Echoes of our youth, in every chord they play
Rock of the 90s, where our hearts did stay

The city lights were our guiding stars
Thunder Road took us far beyond the cars
With American Pie underneath the stars
Cruisin' through the nights in those beat-up cars
Hey Jude on repeat, as the miles roll by
Every verse a friend, every chorus a high

And we'd dance until the break of dawn
To the sound of dreams, and the hope we'd drawn
In the Rock of the 90s, we found our way
With Born to Run and sweet sounds of yesterday
Echoes of our youth, in every chord they play
Rock of the 90s, where our hearts did stay


SKIES IGNITE

Through the shadows, at the dawn's break
I stand guard, my heart starts to ache
Alien fears in the night sky
Wonderin' if I'll be the one to survive

My heart beats loud as the sky turns dark
Holdin' onto memories, a lover's spark

I'm standin' on the edge, waiting for the fight
The stars align, and I'm lost in the night
Fearing what's to come, as the skies ignite
Will I be the hero, or just fade out of sight?

Under the twilight, I see shadows move
Creatures of the night with nothin' to lose

Eyes sharp, breaths steady, I won't be fooled
I'm the sentinel of twilight, where hope's been schooled

I'm standin' on the edge, waiting for the fight
The stars align, and I'm lost in the night
Fearing what's to come, as the skies ignite
Will I be the hero, or just fade out of sight?

In this galaxy, there's no place to hide
In a battle for peace, I'm standing by
Praying for the dawn, when this storm will pass
Hoping the love we built will forever last

I see the ship, it's descending from above
With iron wings, it shatters dreams of love

I'm standin' on the edge, every breath's a fight
The stars align, but I'm lost in the night
Fearing what's to come as the skies ignite
Will I be the hero, or just fade out of sight?

I see the ship, it's descending from above
With iron wings, it shatters dreams of love


TIME BOMB

In the shadow of the night, fighting hard, holding tight
Born with a time bomb inside, heart of a lion you can't hide
Told you stories 'bout the skies, under stars where courage lies
But the monster’s deep within, and this battle now begins

You've got that lion's heart, don't let it tear apart
When the ground feels like it’s breaking, we’ll face that quaking
Together we stand tall, with courage through it all
Time bomb may be ticking’ but it won’t stop our kicking

In a world where shadows loom, and the night might spell our doom
We've got the light inside, with every moment that we bide
From the ashes, rise again, scars that mark where we've been
But every wound carves a tale, of the steel in our own veins

You’ve got a warrior’s soul, fight the fear, keep control
Though the storm may rage high, in your eyes, there's no goodbye

You've got that lion's heart, don't let it tear apart
When the ground feels like it’s breaking, we’ll face that quaking
Together we stand tall, with courage through it all
Time bomb may be ticking, but it won’t stop our kicking

Forward into the dawn, with shadows all but gone
Hand in hand we stride, no more need to hide
With every breath we take, we defy what they forsake
The winds of fate may sway, but we'll fight another day

'Cause in this fleeting time, with each beat, we climb
Together we'll strive high, in your fight, I'll stand by
With every laugh and every tear, we’ll face down every fear
It’s the fire in your spirit, that courage, let them hear it

You're not fighting alone, together we have grown
In the heart of every storm, there's a place where we belong

You've got that lion's heart, don't let it tear apart
When the ground feels like it’s breaking, we’ll face that quaking
Together we stand tall, with courage through it all
Time bomb may be ticking, ...


TO THE NIGHTS WE’LL REMEMBER

Under streetlights, in the quiet of the night
We've been searching for what's wrong and right
We left our footprints on the roads unknown
Felt the weight, but now we’ve grown
With every mile, with every star
Learned to love just who we are

I've walked these roads, felt the years go by
Chasing dreams, reaching for the sky
But now I find, under neon lights
The moments shared with friends feel right
Hey, life's a fleeting dance, take a chance
In the end, it's the small talks, the laughter in our hands

So raise a toast to the nights we'll remember
In this wild ride, it's the friendships that tether
We age, get wiser, but never too old
For a laugh in the dark, for a story told

I've chased the thrill, but found my truth
In the simple acts, the fountain of youth

Through the crossroads, we’ve seen the pain
But with each detour, there's something gained
We fought the battles and took the fall
But it’s in those moments, we stand tall

Hey, let the years go by, don't you cry
In the end, it's the warmth of a friend by your side

So raise a toast to the nights we'll remember
In this wild ride, it's the friendships that tether
We age, get wiser, but never too old
For a laugh in the dark, for a story told


I CAN SURVIVE

Midnight comes, and I hit the street
Rain-soaked boots, with a weary beat
Ghosts of dreams in my rearview
Chasing shadows, nothing's true

Street corner dames, with empty eyes
Selling comfort, but it’s all lies
Streetlights flicker, shadows cast
Haunted by a dream from the past

Neon signs, flashing lies
For a moment, hide my cries
Prostitutes can't mend this soul
Underneath, I'm losing control

Alone at night, streets so dark
Pouring rain on this lonesome heart
Sirens wail, in the distance fade
Lonely man, in his faded shade

Families laugh, theatres bright
See the joy, in the warm light
I'm just an echo, a shadow on the wall
Wandering these streets, trapped in my own fall

Searching for a sign, a beacon's glow
Every face a stranger, no one seems to know
Street corner preachers, with empty words
Selling hope, but it feels absurd

Wandering through tears from the sky
Wonder how long I can survive
Rain keeps falling tears from the sky
Wonder how long I can survive


WAVES WE’D RIDE

No one could stop us, on the edge we'd lean
You, me, and the glimmer in between
But those dark clouds came rolling in
We lost you to a needle and the life you'd been

Imagining now, if you were by our side
The stages we'd conquer, the waves we’d ride

Before the fame, we played those cords so loud
In the garage, we dreamed with nothing but a crowd

We'd write our songs, so young and free
Times we'd laugh until the three
But darker clouds did come our way
And took our brother, led him astray

Now the spotlight’s on, but it feels so dim
'Cause without you here, it’s hard to begin
The dreams we chased have come and gone
But we still play your favorite song
Imagining now, if you were by our side
The stages we'd conquer, the waves we’d ride

Some nights I still hear your guitar's cry
In those riffs and solos, we soared so high
You lived fast, burned bright, like a shooting star
Now we're left with echoes of who you are

We miss you every night we take the stage
Your spirit's in the chords we play


TOMORROW IS ANOTHER DAY

The shadows crowd me, a cloak I can't shake
The lives they move on, like rivers to a lake
The struggle's heavy, the night's so long
I'm searching for a place where I belong

But in the darkest night, there's a spark
A hope rising up from the shadows' park
I'm walking these empty streets alone
Everywhere a memory I used to own
The weight of life, it's pulling me down
No light, no love, just the heaviness around

But in the darkest night, there's a spark
A hope rising up from the shadows' park
And tomorrow is another day, just hold on
The sun will rise and show you where you belong

In the distance, I hear a friend's call
A warming voice, breaking through it all
A dog's wagging tail, a comfort so pure
In these small moments, my heart's gentle cure

The shadows crowd me, a cloak I can't shake
The lives they move on, like rivers to a lake
The struggle's heavy, the night's so long
I'm searching for a place where I belong

But in the darkest night, there's a spark
A hope rising up from the shadows' park

The shadows crowd me, a cloak I can't shake
The lives they move on, like rivers to a lake
The struggle's heavy, the night's so long
I'm searching for a place where I belong

But in the darkest night, there's a spark
A hope rising up from the shadows' park


WE STAND AS ONE

In a town where dreams collide
We're chasing shadows, hearts in stride
Through the night, we're burning bright
With every step, we hold on tight

We're reaching out, don't let it fade
In this final serenade

We stand as one, with voices strong
In this moment where we belong
Against the wind, we're fighting on
Oh, we'll rise until the dawn

Through the streets, where hopes collide
We find our strength, with hearts untied

Through the silence, we ignite
In this endless, burning night

We stand as one, with voices strong
In this moment where we belong
Against the wind, we're fighting on
Oh, we'll rise until the dawn

In the echoes of our dreams
We find the power, bursting at the seams
With every heartbeat, every tear
Our destiny is drawing near

We stand as one, with voices strong
In this moment where we belong
Together, we will touch the stars
No matter where, no matter how far

In this anthem of our hearts
We'll light the way, break through the dark
We stand as one, with voices strong
In this moment where we belong


THE AGES OF THE END

Cameras watching every step we take
Big Brother's eyes are wide awake
Numbers in a system, lost our names
In this world, we're caught in chains
Welcome to the ages of the end
Where freedom's just a word we can't defend

In concrete jungles, where the walls have ears
Our voices muffled, living out our fears
Small apartments, no room left to breathe
Our dreams evaporate, like autumn leaves
They rewrite the past to control our fate
Erase our memories before it's too late

Through digital chains, we're bound and tied
Our silhouettes fade, every truth denied
Big Brother's shadow creeps in the night
Where silence reigns, and there's no fight
Welcome to the ages of the end
Where freedom's just a word we defend

Neon lights burn over empty streets
Lost souls wandering, dreams laid at their feet
Echoes of a life once wild and free
Now confined by this machinery
Welcome to the ages of the end
Where freedom's just a word written in sand


THE TWILIGHT ZONE

In the twilight zone
Where dreams and fears collide as one
The shadows roam, and whispers loud
You're in a land where thoughts are found

Can you see the light
Through the fog of endless night
The edge of time, where the silence screams

Lost in a maze, between the seams
Where souls are wandering, hearts exposed
In the twilight zone, where truth is cloaked

Can you find your way, through the mirage of night
In a place where shadows, dance with the light
In the mirror's haze
Where the sky's been flipped around
The night's a maze, echoes roaring loud

Questions rise, with every breath
You're chasing shadows, in the valley of depths
Can you grasp the ground
Where your hopes and fears entwine in a dance
No path too clear, just an endless chase

In the ancient, winding labyrinth's hold
Where every turn feels like a story foretold


LOST IN THE LIMELIGHT

From the garage to the stage we took every chance
Now the stage is ours through this thunders’ dance
To the world we gave our hearts but lost our peace each time
Every mile and every show we’re leaving bits behind

Chasing dreams with all we had
Sweating nights in our small town
Bright lights, they draw us in
But we lost what we found

Now we're caught in the limelight
World's calling our name
Stars in our eyes, but doubts in our hearts
Everyone's cheering, but we're torn apart

Just a band with big dreams lost in the scene
City after city, kings and queens of the night

But somewhere deep inside, that small town fire still burns
We ride the waves of fame, yet our hearts, they yearn

We climbed this mountain high, but the view's bittersweet
Lost ourselves along the way, faces we can't meet
Eyes on the sunset, but the dawn's so far away
We traded love and honesty for the price we pay

Now we're caught in the limelight
World's calling our name
Stars in our eyes, but doubts in our hearts
Everyone's cheering, but we're torn apart

Just a band with big dreams lost in the scene
City after city, kings and queens

Now we're caught in the limelight
World's calling our name
