Ballad of the Righteous

VERSE 1
Hear the wind in the trees
See the sky turning gray
Rain keeps falling so heavy
This day
And the world seems so frail
Every move leaves a trail
Like a tear in your flesh
Like a burn
So the heat carries on
And the hurt comes along
All around it is seen
None can stop this machine
So the gears they keep turning
And people keep yearning
For peace, love, concerning
The hope of mankind
CHORUS 1
See all of this pain
Come near
Let me hear
What you say
We can build on a new way
Evil be gone
Come and...
VERSE 2
Join the ride
Can you see
We'll decide
What will be
Now let justice be done
Down a new road we run
Like the shine of the sun
Burns a dream
So the dream comes alive
Every thought seems to drive
Consequences to reach
New intents and they breach
All your morals and teach you
That nothing is sacred
So do what you must
And leave nothing behind
CHORUS 2
Tear everything down
Ready your blade now
And follow this way
To the new day
Our will be done
We will...
Fight the pain
Rid the world of
All this hate
And the suffering that we all know
Now
Bring all you've got for
The final solution to end
All
Evil
VERSE 3
Love
Lust
Hope
Trust
Hear the words and
Raise your hand now
We will go through
Hell and fire
Pain will fuel our
Brave desire
Now we ride
Stand aside
Oh, with bricks made of truth
We will build up this wall
To defend our home
Our Eden will sprawl
And with mortar that's made
From our flesh and our blood
It will bring us to heaven
Oh God is with us
CHORUS 3
Dear to break our law
You will fall in line
Our cause is divine
And your high road
Is hard on your back
The whip it will crack
Now do
As we please
BRIDGE
Oh
Fine
Run
Leave it all
You
Will regret
We
Won't forget
You have betrayed us (now)
Now our state is on the brink
Our people know not what to think
They're answer seeking
Havoc wreaking
Truth can't get out
We protect from confusion
The sceptics' intrusion
Won't stand
No
VERSE 4
People they would feed the fire
With lies and deceit
They see our world rise
Now they spell our defeat
Our new world order
Will never compete
With the wicked heart
Of
Men
Will burn
Lies
Return
Now the streets will run wild
By the gods our child
It lies tattered and pale
Every limb feels so stale
And then people just stand there
Oh how could they be
Just so blind to all that
They have done
CHORUS 4
No
Everything falls
Blind my eyes
I can't look
At this moral decay
What was wrong
Now is right
What a shameful display
And the seeds of corruption
Will spread all around
Until all that is precious
Is dead, hear the sound
Of the final surrender
Your lasting defender
Will take one last breath
Now there'll be only death
At last
Is this not
What you asked
What a shame
Who's to blame
Who's to blame

VERSE 1
Would you go
Be a part of history
Or remain a mystery
Just a lonely entity
Below the shining canopy
All the cosmic symmetry
A lowly little speck in the
Immenseness of our galaxy
A cog in the machine
Stay unseen
Mind your own
And remain unknown
VERSE 2
Would you go
Be a part of history
Hear the call of mystery
Fight for all humanity
To rise above the treachery
Join together lovingly
Weave a holy tapestry
To last for all eternity
To do your share for all
Grand and small
Pay the price
Your sweat will suffice
VERSE 3
Would you go
Be a part of history
Try to solve the mystery
Lead us all to victory
To extricate the why from be
Realise the fantasy
Of universal liberty
And everlasting dignity
To battle what is wrong
Keep us strong
Raise the blade
And come to our aid

VERSE 1
A candlelight
A gentle fire
A friendly face
A pacifier
You tell me why
You teach me how
You show the way
You lift me up so I
CHORUS 1
I
So I can fly
And see the world
And tread with vigour and guile
Just to bring you a smile
VERSE 2
A candlelight
A gentle fire
A friendly face
A pacifier
You tell me why
You teach me how
You show the way
You lift me up so I
So I can see
I can see all of the world
And all of the splendour
And all of the glory
Is out there inside
This magical sphere
All I need is to bring it
Here
CHORUS 2
But all I see
Is disarray
I walk this way
But all I feel is
Hope escaping me
My destiny
It cannot be
What I promised you
VERSE 3
A candlelight
A forest fire
A friendly face
A hungry liar
And we take our vow
Reach inside somehow
Find that will and bow
Never
When
We've gone along
For far too long
And the burden gets to tough to bear
Then without even thinking we
CHORUS 3
Let go our grasp
Let loose our mind
Spend not a thought on
What you'll find
Just run
Away from grace
Their cold embrace
That friendly face
Will stare
As you dig your own grave
BRIDGE
And when the night then falls
Do you think they will hear your calls
A whisper inside your head will linger
And it's all you'll hear
And when the night hides day
Their shadows will dance away
A flickering light
You'll fade into gray
FINALE
To fight and die
Or yield and live
Just try to see
But what is lost
They're always here
They breathe your fear
You play their game
You play with fire
And when you play
You burn

I feel a
Shift in the skies
Some strange force
Rise
I see the
Light there up high
Beckon me
Why
Why
Do I hunger so
What you are
I don't even
Know
A promise
A vow of ecstacy
A chance to be
Someone, somewhere
I'll fly up there
Oh...
A wager
A race across the sky
An angel cry
So let that star
Bring light from afar
Oh, what you are
Oh
Light
Shine on
Oh
Lead me there
My dawn
My dawn
Oh
Guide me
My dawn

VERSE 1
A swan flying
The light dying
A moment of calm repose
The world calling
And night falling
Unveiling those inner
Woes
VERSE 2
The trees rustle
The herds bustle
A watcher with urgency in their eyes
A wife sighing
Her man crying
Their little one still at sea
Lost in the waves
VERSE 3
The watcher quickens up their pace
And everyone around them too
For there is no more time to lose
And now they all know what to do
Before the rain is falling
Are all the mothers calling
To anyone who's left outside
Oh woah
CHORUS 1
Just run
Hide away
Ride away
Wild and gray
This time the wind and rain
Has won
BRIDGE
So in time comes the light
Shining the way again
Yet someday we know
Destruction will come again
And the sky will take what is owed
But this time we rise, together
And on we go
Through the pain
Take control
Of the wind and the rain
CHORUS 2
Fly
Breathe again
And in the sky
We rise up again
To see the stars
All the world is at hand
Fly
See again
Breathe again
Feel the wind
And let the sun
Shine a light
Again
