Swagger & Stroll Down the Rabbit Hole

Broken is society Fear as long as I can see Panic follows, panic steers Know I say this cause I care I hope we close our doors but not our hearts Before things go way too far Prayers come and prayers go Now we’re left with what we’ve never known Please be safe and please be sound Make peace with the love you’ve found If faith is strong, if faith is weak Does it matter for what you seek? I hope you have all you need In spite of what will come to be These words are penned because I fear A future where I can’t be near

Cease fire, we spit fire Sit back and watch it backfire Cease fire, we spit fire Sit back and watch it backfire You’re gonna bleed Mother Nature cause we’re never ever gonna sign Superstition is tradition, just leftism on a mission Spin-doctors, false prophets, preaching War prophets All for the war profits More profits, all profits Gonna burn our lungs and leave the ashes behind And we’ve come to the conclusion We’re the tumor, it’s not a tumor We’re the tumor, it’s not a tumor Empower the poverty, newsworthy prophecy No need for truth, keep feeding the hypocrisy We welcome the silence, we’re hushed like a child in your arms So blind to the violence, until it’s prowling all around Mighty, mighty gentlemen but all I can hear is… Pa-kah! Pakah-pakah Pa-kah! Bokata-Bokata Pa-kah! Pakah-pakah Itchty, itchy fingers but all I can hear is… Pa-kah! Pakah-pakah Pa-kah! Bo-ka-ta Pa-kah! Pakah-pakah We don’t wanna tolerate We know how to discriminate I’m Molotov made Take the bait, we’re gonna take the bait With a napalm embrace Take the bait, we’re really gonna take the bait You have 280 characters to tell us how the world will burn Keep speaking of the peace while aiming for the throat I told you that I wouldn’t fit in that boat With thoughts of being royal And one truth to rule them all Let’s hear them chant and call My truth is bigger than your truth My truth is bigger than your truth My truth is better than your truth My truth is better… shhhhhh We welcome the silence, we’re hushed like a child in your arms So blind to the violence, until it’s prowling all around Mighty mighty gentlemen but all I can hear is… Pa-kah!

En cada latido estás conmigo En cada latido estás conmigo

Seem kind, one bride Fuel from the inside Fire in the works You will feel my fireworks Read my mind It’s oh so quiet now Tell me if you’re gonna Tell me where you’re gonna hide I will keep you warm Invite you to my home Oxygen ablaze And then the heat will crack the stone Breathe so red for me Love at third degree Black as my heart Get a fresh start Won’t you be just mine? Kerosene, it could be gasoline I’m not picky when I flame my fiends Feel the heat, burning oh so sweet Eeny, meeny, miny, moe Who wilI it be? I never let go, hating you so Flames that take you higher Come and keep me company Burn, burn, burn, burn Would you be the love of mine? Same mind, oh let it take time Love of the strange kind A fever on the rise You’re someone I will gladly sacrifice I sense the fear Like love is in the air Ropes are way too tight Common baby light - my fire I will keep you warm Invite you to my home Oxygen ablaze And then the heat will crack the stone Breathe so red for me Love at third degree Black as my heart Get a fresh start Won’t you be just mine Kerosene, it could be gasoline I’m not picky when I flame my fiends Feel the heat, burning oh so sweet Eeny, meeny, miny, moe Who wilI it be? I never let go, hating you so Flames that take you higher Come and keep me company Burn, burn, burn, burn Would you be the love of mine?

As I recall, a sea of green (The story starts and this is how it’s been told) The fairest maid I have ever seen (And from this day his heart was ever so bold) Is it right, is it wrong, guess time will tell But what will they say back home? (What will they say back home?) I fought them all and I fought them well (And that’s an act of bravery alone) She made me believe, made me choose Trust in her words and then just lose it all In times like these, in times like those (The time was right for him to take a chance) It’s what I seek, of what we speak In her grace and my how we danced For all things holy Hope and glory Rise and shine Now is the time For merry-making and fireworks in the sky Raise our glasses In triumph and laughter Sing hallelujah, rejoice he was found The silence so eerie My dear, I gave you my all Danced to the sound of a world in despair Fading hopes but our future laid bare Blessed and now the dice it was cast We came to taste our freedom at last The wheel of time And so many miles (The end of our tale is drawing near) For what a way to end my trials (He remembers the words he held so dear) A promise made and a promise saved And I know what they say back home So when they lay me down to rest (Words of pride will be carved into his stone) She made me believe, made me choose Trust in her words and then just lose it all Rise and shine Now’s the time For merry-making and fireworks in the sky Raise our glasses In triumph and laughter Sing hallelalalalujah! Rejoice, he was found Danced to the sound of a world in despair Fading hopes but our future laid bare Blessed and now the dice it was cast We came to taste our freedom at last

Hear my voice deepening It isn't time for silence Breathing in, hold it dear Hear the beat goes up again With love Hear me now, help me to be strong Heaven knows How I feel It's the sweet devotion It's divine As the earth in motion Hear your voice screaming now Within a rolling echo Look at you, now you're here And I will always hold you dear (Fear no fear) Love is real As gravity hits you when you're high Closer now How I feel It's the sweet devotion It's divine As the earth in motion How I feel It's the sweet devotion It's divine As the skies grow older How I feel It's the sweet devotion It's divine As the earth in motion It's divine As the earth in motion How I feel It's the sweet devotion It's divine As my life in motion

White knuckles, grip so tight My porcelain pride has shattered in your hands (Tall as a tree, you’re looking down on me I keep raising my gaze, all I see is more of you) Past due to make this right Come walk with me, it’s time to make amends (Tenderly you’re bleeding down on me Well, I will wipe my bloody brow and see this through) Radiating three-mile-smile I will watch you burn alive Follow me into my theater of lunacy A place where victors write the history Where sweet atrocities are done In my dreams you’re nothing but a distant memory I had a sinful opportunity They’ll never know that you are gone Flash my immoral might The vice-like grip of white walls closing in You squeeze me oh so tight Your good example was your greatest sin (In a long lost life there was no struggle or strife A mental override left me acidified) Herd my darlings, kill my sheep take my blade and hide it deep Follow me into my theater of lunacy A place where victors write the history Where sweet atrocities are done In my dreams you’re nothing but a distant memory I had a sinful opportunity They’ll never know that you are gone

All that I see is perfection All that I feel is attraction Somehow this dream just fell down here Messing me up Now let’s play so Roll the dice It could be nothing at all, what do you worry about? And then, what’s next? Just close your ocean eyes Heaven knows What it’s like It’s a fight Going on in my mind Can’t hold it back Can’t conceal How I feel Don’t disappear Cause I can’t hold it back I’m falling deep Hold me now Endlessly Tick tock, and then in slow motion A story of love and devotion Swept through my mind and my body My vision made hazy and cloudy Once or twice Someday you’ll see, what do you worry about? But then, what’s next? Open up your eyes Heaven knows What it’s like It’s a fight Going on in my mind Can’t hold it back Can’t conceal How I feel Don’t disappear Cause I can’t hold it back I’m falling deep Hold me now Endlessly Heaven knows What it’s like It’s a fight Going on, on, on... Heaven knows What it’s like It’s a fight Going on in my mind Can’t hold it back Can’t conceal How I feel Don’t disappear Cause I can’t hold it back I’m falling deep Hold me now Endlessly Can’t hold it back Can’t conceal How I feel Don’t disappear Cause I can’t hold it back I’m falling deep Hold me now Endlessly

You shall believe And the voice you shall heed It’s an eye for an eye But the lord will provide Save them all from everyone Save before it’s dead and gone Can you hear them coming? Are you scared of the feeling? Shake it off, this is the time for believing Shake it off, this is the time for redeeming All the broken bones are now on display Its happy, happy hour ’til the end of days See all the crows And a river run dry Picking on the bones Under blood-red sky We praise then heed And the gospel will hum We fear no evil when it’s said and done Lord grant us grace And let us embrace And with open arms Wearing a good luck charm We are the ones that have been found We march upon the sacred grounds Can you hear us coming? Are you scared of the feeling? Shake it off, this is the time for believing Shake it off, this is the time for redeeming Faith in the lord can’t be build in one day Hear them words and repeat what they say See all the crows And a river run dry Picking on the bones Under blood-red sky We praise then heed And the gospel will hum We fear no evil when it’s said and done I’ll bring you faith I’ll bring devotion I’ll fill your aisles And lead you through the commotion I’ll fill your chapelss To the brink, to the hilt And then we’re gonna restore And then we’re gonna rebuild Send your spirits high We shall purify... Amen!

Painted scars in line Broke her wings, but her flame alive Thoughts she keeps inside Was a mistake and I made it mine She’s breathing water And that’s how she calms the ocean deep inside And that’s how she calms the ocean in her mind Tainted words she sings Made a haven from what she brings Won’t test loyalty Can’t stand beside or let it be She’s breathing water… How she calms the ocean That’s how she calms the ocean How she calms the ocean That’s how she calms the ocean in her mind Words are venom now And they spread like a wildfire Chain her mind and won’t let go While her walls grow ever higher Hope has lost her way In this made-up empire Caged but with a spirit to change And a courage to admire This star will not fade and now is her time to shine She’s breathing water How she calms the ocean That’s how she calms the ocean How she calms the ocean That’s how she calms the ocean in her mind

They’ll tell you whatever, your will they won’t bend I am told there’s a heaven, we’re meant to ascend But I’ll shade the sun and I’ll make them repent Close the doors and pay the price for what’s been done, what’s been said You’ve told me words, sometimes hard to believe You keep closing your eyes, won’t let nobody see But I’ll bury them all, and I’ll bury them deep For all the pain they have caused, and made you weep And I break down inside Every time I leave you behind I’ll save your dreams I’ll make them real For as long as I breathe In my wake, they will feel what they’ve done And I break down inside Every time I leave you behind I’ll save your dreams I’ll make them real For as long as I breathe In my wake, they will feel what they’ve done Something will give and then something will break Justice be served, and their world we’ll unmake They can save all their prayers ‘cause they won’t be heard Their echo so hollow, excuses absurd The will and the way how you came to be Their silence is golden, so close being free I’ll be your beacon A light you can see I promise you’re safe, I promise you’ll heal And I break down inside Every time I leave you behind I’ll save your dreams I’ll make them real For as long as I breathe In my wake, they will feel what they’ve done And I break down inside Every time I leave you behind I’ll save your dreams I’ll make them real For as long as I breathe In my wake, they will feel what they’ve done Repent...

What is this sound? What do I hear? Is it a voice? What does it say? How will I dare to follow? Can it be true? Can it be real? There are whispers through decades of time Still, they claim the illusion Blame us for what they’ve done On and on All silent memories begin to sing In a song With all the love that still resides within With all the love that’s still within What is this sound? Is it a dream? Calling me here, it’s so surreal Will I be sane tomorrow? If I pretend it isn’t real A nightmare through decades of time What was once a delusion Now when it has begun I can’t believe they claim the illusion Blame us for what they’ve done On and on All silent memories begin to sing In a song With all the love that still resides within Long ago When all the fallen tears were given wings With a song And all the love that’s still within What was once a delusion Now when it has begun Still, they claim the illusion Blame us for what they’ve done Blamed for what they’ve done On and on All silent memories begin to sing In a song With all the love that still resides within Long ago When all the fallen tears were given wings With a song And all the love within our hearts (Follow those whose hearts are adoring through the streets in gathered might Arm in arm we sing eternally From the crimson lights of the morning to the darkest depths of night Marching on towards uncertainty)
