R: If we were invincible
If we could never die
Then all the world could rise against us
And we'd dare to fight
Dare to fight
Caught myself before I fall
I see through all the reasons we are letting go
Even if this day won't come
I'll burn a thousand moons just to light a single sun
And now the darkest hour collides
With our unguarded lives
R: If we were invincible
If we could never die
Then all the world could rise against us
And we'd dare to fight
Dare to fight
Nothing left to fear
We could never fall
So alive
Head full of fire
We'd be invincible
This storm up there is knows my name
It calls from a sea of light
When the soldiers look away
And now we stand at heavens door
But we're just mortals
Can we face another war
And now the darkest hour collides
With out unguarded lives
R: If we were invincible
If we could never die
Then all the world could rise against us
And we'd dare to fight
Dare to fight
Nothing left to fear
We could never fall
So alive
Head full of fire
We'd be invincible
R: If we were invincible
If we could never die
Then all the world could rise against us
And we'd dare to fight
Dare to fight
Nothing left to fear
We could never fall
So alive
Head full of fire
We'd be invincïble

Beast Within by In This Moment
I feel the animal rising as I slowly come alive.
I feel the monster caged inside of me,
Screaming through my bones.
It sees the bodies slowly swaying, and looses control.
I’ll tear you apart, as the music pounds.
I’ll feed off your heart, as the lights go down.
I want to tear this place apart tonight.
I want to cause a fright.
Dancing the night away, with sweat on your skin.
I want to taste and feel you all deep within.
I feel the beast's hunger inside of me.
Let me take a bite, and watch you bleed.
I feel the animal rising as I slowly come alive.
I feel the monster caged inside of me,
Screaming through my bones.
It sees the bodies slowly swaying, and looses control.
I’ll tear you apart, as the music pounds.
I’ll feed off your heart, as the lights go down.
I want to tear this place apart tonight.
I want to cause a fright.
Dancing the night away, with sweat on your skin.
I want to taste and feel you all deep within.
I feel the beast's hunger inside of me.
Let me take a bite, and watch you bleed.
Cabin Essence by The Beach Boys
Iron horses trample dreamland,
shoveled coal ignites the steam and,
the earth starts to wax and to wane.
Light the lamp and fire mellow,
cabin essence timely hello,
welcomes the time for a change.
Lost and found, you still remain there.
You'll find a meadow filled with grain there,
I'll give you a home on the range.
I want to watch you windblown facing
waves of wheat for your embracing,
folks sing a song of the grange.
Nestle in a kiss below there.
The constellations ebb and flow there,
and witness our home on the range.
Iron horses trample dreamland,
shoveled coal ignites the steam and,
the earth starts to wax and to wane.
Light the lamp and fire mellow,
cabin essence timely hello,
welcomes the time for a change.
Lost and found, you still remain there.
You'll find a meadow filled with grain there,
I'll give you a home on the range.
I want to watch you windblown facing
waves of wheat for your embracing,
folks sing a song of the grange.
Nestle in a kiss below there.
The constellations ebb and flow there,
and witness our home on the range.

HEART OF GOLD (Neil Young)
Heart of gold
sacred vows kept within
Lover's tryst always exist
always faithful to lover's call
waiting in the hall
Gone are the days of chivalry
pure hearts and noble deeds
nowadays you can count
only a few with a heart of gold,
but many who are bold
Wish I could mine a heart of gold
now that I'm getting old
if you think I don't have one
But what good would it be
if you're cold and dead
You have a heart of gold
I once was told
by someone in distress
caught with his mistress
Who needs a heart of gold
when you are stone cold?
"I've been to Hollywood, I've been to Redwood
I've crossed the oceans for a heart of gold!"
Those were the days, now I'm getting old.

BORN TO RUN (Bruce Springteen)
Those moments we had on the beach of our island paradise
Will forever be treasured in our minds and loving hearts
Written out in the stars and etched upon our identical palms
We had this common bond, strange feelings since we were young
‘Cause tramps like us baby, we were born to run
My beloved Adelaide, how can Fate be cruel to us for so long
Visions of you only appear in my dreams, until you came along
We made love under the crescent moon all night long, till we drop
Oh baby it’s unbelievable, no words can describe how it feels
Our undying love for each other, the moment seems unreal
I wanna know if love is blind, I wanna know if love is real
‘Cause tramps like us baby, we were born to run
Baby our town rips the bones from your back, it’s a death trap
Beyond the horizon I could see a beacon of shining hope
As long as we keep holding on to the last strand of the rope
Which shall bind our love forever, until the end of time
If ever I die first, please don’t forget my solemn request
That you take my remains to the sea where we used to play
There’s no place like home, where my final respite should be
Until then my Adelaide, we’ll dance with our silent heartbeats
‘Cause tramps like us baby, we were born to run
Those moments we had on the beach of our island paradise
Will forever be treasured in our minds and loving hearts
Written out in the stars and etched upon our identical palms
We had this common bond, strange feelings since we were young
‘Cause tramps like us baby, we were born to run
My beloved Adelaide, how can Fate be cruel to us for so long
Visions of you only appear in my dreams, until you came along
We made love under the crescent moon all night long, till we drop
Oh baby it’s unbelievable, no words can describe how it feels
Our undying love for each other, the moment seems unreal
I wanna know if love is blind, I wanna know if love is real
‘Cause tramps like us baby, we were born to run
Baby our town rips the bones from your back, it’s a death trap
Beyond the horizon I could see a beacon of shining hope
As long as we keep holding on to the last strand of the rope
Which shall bind our love forever, until the end of time
If ever I die first, please don’t forget my solemn request
That you take my remains to the sea where we used to play
There’s no place like home, where my final respite should be
Until then my Adelaide, we’ll dance with our silent heartbeats
‘Cause tramps like us baby, we were born to run
Bullet the blue sky U2
A man breathes into his saxophone
dulls the sound of another drone
a mother holds half her child
wild with hate, grief and disbelief
and I can see those fighter planes
and I can see those fighter planes
through the mud huts where the children sleep
across the alleys of a quiet city street
the saints fly high, someone's gonna die
they'll never even see it coming
no chance of running, or praying to their god
where will it end, the world is now a playground
and outside is America, outside is America

standing on the edge of summer---thursday
i looked over the handrail
thought of summer salts
eyeball acrobatics
backwards back flips
something good to die for
i move out
move on
faster than every punk bitch i know
copped rihanna's haircut
up the antie
every time i toss in a hand
i want you to
die rather than deal again
some wouldn't think so
but i'd rather take all your chips
on a fold
then have you deal again
for somebody else
