Daughtry - Antidote (Up!)

  

Ain't no use in running
If it leads you to the fire
And you flirt with falling
Walking on the wire
Without warning
You find you're the prey
When you're cornered
And there's no escape
Dancing with the snake

I couldn't stop the rain
When the hurricane was coming
I couldn't keep the pace
With a runaway train going off the tracks
Looking back, it's hard to watch the poison take control
When you don't have the antidote

Heavy armor
Makes it hard to fight
It's like treading water
Or swimming against the tide
Now you're at war
You're fighting so hard
But the torture
Has become your god

I couldn't stop the rain
When the hurricane was coming
I couldn't keep the pace
With a runaway train going off the tracks
Looking back, it's hard to watch the poison take control
When you don't have the antidote

I wish that I could take the pain
If only I could take your place
When there's nothing left, there's nothing left to lose

I couldn't stop the rain
When the hurricane was coming
I couldn't keep the pace
With a runaway train going off the tracks
Looking back, it's hard to watch the poison take control
When you don't have the antidote, woah, woah, ooh

When you don't have the antidote 


Florrie - Kissing In The Cold

  

I was just me
Rolling with it, careless and free, mm-mm
And you were just you
Overthinking everything new, mm-mm
We were just kids
Hopeful hearts with too much to give, mm-mm
It was just us
Before we ever learned how to love, mm-mm-mm

If I could go back
Then you should know that
There's a part of me that wants you even now
And if I told you
I miss the old you
'Cause it feels so long ago
But I still think about

Kissing in the cold, I treasured you like gold
Fingers on my skin, a fire from within
Lost in your embrace, the arms that kept me safe
A story left untold of kissing in the cold

It was all red
Roses scattered over the bed, mm-mm
Falling too fast
So naive we thought it would last, mm-mm-mm

If I could go back
Then you should know that
There's a part of me that wants you even now
And if I told you
I miss the old you
'Cause it feels so long ago
But I still think about

Kissing in the cold, I treasured you like gold
Fingers on my skin, a fire from within
Lost in your embrace, the arms that kept me safe
A story left untold of kissing in the cold

(Kissing in the cold)
(A story left untold)
(Kissing in the cold)
(A story left untold)

If we had another chance to work things out
Would we turn back now? Would we turn back?
Could it ever be the same, we've changed so how
Can we turn back now? Can we turn back?

Would we turn back now, would we turn back?
Can we turn back now, can we turn back?


Night Habits - Walk Alone At Night

 



Kalax - Let It Go With You (Up!)

It’s all in how the colors start to blend, 
Where the darkness lets the daylight in again. 
There’s a spark you feel beneath your ribs, 
A quiet fire growing louder as it lives. 
 
And you won’t ever stumble on it 
If you chase it down like something owed to you. 
No, you won’t uncover any of it 
 
If you keep insisting on the perfect point of view.
 I could’ve acted sooner, but I always hesitate, 
Watching how your trembling fingers tried to navigate. 
Still, I’d choose to lose an afternoon beside you. 
 
And who could guess that after everything, 
Just breathing here could feel like opening a wing? 
That hidden heat you can’t ignore— 
It echoes through whoever carries it once more. 
 
But you won’t ever stumble on it 
If you hunt it down like it’s a debt unpaid. 
No, you won’t uncover any of it 
If your searching always stands in your own way. 
 
I should’ve moved, but I froze long enough, 
Seeing how your restless hands kept giving you away. 
Still, I’d trade the hours just to waste them near you.
 
 Could’ve spoken sooner, but my voice wore thin, 
Every word dissolving before it could begin. 
Still, I’d let the minutes drift just sitting next to you. 
 
 I’ve done enough, I know, but I still couldn’t leave, 
Feeling my own heartbeat stumbling up my sleeve. 
Still, there’s nowhere else I’d rather let time go— 
Let it go with you. 
Let it go with you. 
(I’ll let it go with you.) 
Let it go with you.

Freya Ridings - I Have Always Loved You

  

And when I saw you fall for her
My whole world crumbled into dirt
Always thought that you and I would ignite
Can't believe how much that hurt
When you broke up with her, called me first
Said you just needed time
That's when I was really crushed
Almost lost my mind

I don't think you, you ever knew
That through it all, I always loved you
And even when my heart, it didn't even want to
Through it all, I have always loved you

You showed up at my house one night
Said your life was hollow without me, you cried
Told you you'd had your time, now I need mine
But deep down that was such a lie
And then we almost lost what it was
We've held on to all this time
That's when you were really crushed
Almost lost your mind

I don't think you, you ever knew
That through it all, I always loved you
And even when my heart, it didn't even want to
Through it all, I have always loved you

You said that life's too short to live
Without the one you're meant to be with
And that's true
And I run to you, you run to me
A kiss becomes eternity, it's true
With you

I don't think you, you ever knew
That through it all, I always loved you
And even when my heart, it didn't even want to
Through it all, I have always loved you
Through it all, I have always loved you


The Midnight - Shadowverse

  

In the first simulation
Thought becomes form
A cell grows a mind
A heart starts to burn
The pupil shows promise
Kill him again
It's a cold dialectic
May he rise in the end

From the guillotine
To the chalk outline
He's always hanging from the same rope
He'd been trying to climb

When you're up on the wire
And you can't commit
And you can't hold the tension
I guess that's it

You've had a thousand lives
Now you're down to one
Trying to survive
In the shadowverse
Every borderland
Every hungry wolf
Now to make your stand
In the shadowverse

Then he's a crusader
With a grail to find
But he's got no sword
And there's not much time
Then he's a warrior chieftain
A violent man
As she cries on the phone
He does not understand

Then he's Achilles
Who takes off his ring
In their New York penthouse
While she's packing her things

Now up on the wire
If you can't commit
And you can't hold the tension
I guess that's it

You've had a thousand lives
Now you're down to one
Trying to survive
In the shadowverse
Every borderland
Every hungry wolf
Now to make your stand
In the shadowverse

You've had a thousand lives
Now you're down to one
Trying to survive
In the shadowverse
Every borderland
Every hungry wolf
Now to make your stand
In the shadowverse

Out of time
Out of time and fading
Out of time
Empty hearts waiting

You've had a thousand lives
Now you're down to one
Trying to survive
In the shadowverse
Every borderland
Every hungry wolf
Now to make your stand
In the shadowverse

You've had a thousand lives
Now you're down to one
Trying to survive
In the shadowverse
Every borderland
Every hungry wolf
Now to make your stand
In the shadowverse

Out of time
Out of time and fading
Out of time
Empty hearts waiting


Silent Theory & Daedric - Emptiness In You

  

My frame is growing thin
My head is killing me
This memory doesn't want to go away
(Go away)
It's all but suffering
It's nothing new to me
This memory never really goes away
(Goes away)
Will I be empty?
When will it leave me?
I don't need closure
Can this be over?
(Can this be over?)
(Can this be over?)

I don't know if I'm right
But this is eating me alive
I don't know what else I can do
I know every lie
How can you look me in the eye?
Now I can see right through
The emptiness in you

I kept inhaling in
Wish for a better end
I hope this feeling never goes away
(Goes away)
Promise no mercy when
You plunge the dagger in
I hope this feeling always stays the same
(Stays the same)

I don't know if I'm right
But this is eating me alive
I don't know what else I can do
I know every lie
How can you look me in the eye?
Now I can see right through
The emptiness in you

The emptiness inside of you
The emptiness inside of you
It never goes away
(Goes away)
The emptiness inside of you
Probably better off as a memory saved
I can't hear any words you say
Maybe I was just better this way

I don't know if I'm right
But this is eating me alive
I don't know what else I can do
I know every lie
How can you look me in the eye?
Now I can see right through
The emptiness in you
And I can see right through
The emptiness in you


Eshtadur ft. Björn Strid, Per Nilsson & Allan Marcus - Burning Heart (Survivor cover - Up!)

  

Two worlds collide
Rival nations
It's a primitive clash
Venting years of frustrations
Bravely we hope
Against all hope
There is so much at stake
Seems our freedom's up
Against the ropes
Does the crowd understand?
Is it East versus West
Or man against man
Can any nation stand alone

In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning heart

In the warrior's code
There's no surrender
Though his body says stop
His spirit cries - never!
Deep in our soul
A quiet ember
Knows it's you against you
It's the paradox
That drives us on
It's a battle of wills
In the heat of attack
It's the passion that kills
The victory is yours alone

In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning Heart
Just about to burst
There's a quest for answers
An unquenchable thirst
In the darkest night
Rising like a spire
In the burning heart
The unmistakable fire

In the burning heart


Trivium - Until The World Goes Cold (Up!)

  

As I crawl through dirt and mud
I'm sinking under
In a grave of life that was
I saw a light

I turned my back on everything
I search for half-remembered dreams
Pulling me down with you
Above my head, they're circling
The vultures want what's left of me
I sacrificed it all and I will fight

Until the world goes cold
This battle's burned all that I've known
Until the world goes cold
Nothing will keep me from this throne, I'll fight
Until the world goes cold
Until the world goes cold

As I build my house of bones
You're sinking under
For all your sins you will atone
I've burned it down

I turned my back on everything
I search for half-remembered dreams
Pulling me down with you
(I burned it down)
Above my head, they're circling
The vultures want what's left of me
I sacrificed it all and I will fight

Until the world goes cold
This battle's burned all that I've known
Until the world goes cold
Nothing will keep me from this throne, I'll fight
Until the world goes cold

This battle has burned all
I'll fight forevermore

Until the world goes cold
This battle's burned all that I've known

Until the world goes cold
This battle's burned all that I've known
Until the world goes cold
Nothing will keep me from this throne, I'll fight
Until the world goes cold
Until the world goes cold

Until the world goes cold

Five Finger Death Punch ft. Kenny Wayne Shepherd, Brantley Gilbert & Brian May - Blue On Black (Kenny Wayne Shepherd cover)

  

Night falls and I'm alone
Skin, yeah, chilled me to the bone
You turned and you ran, oh yeah
Oh slipped right from my hands

Yeah

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
Don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's like blue on black

Blind, oh, but now I see
Truth, lies and in between
Wrong, can't be undone, oh no
Well it slipped from the tip of your tongue

Yeah

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
Don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's blue on black

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
It don't mean much

Blue on black
Tears on a river
Push on a shove
Don't mean much
Joker on jack
Match on a fire
Cold on ice
A dead man's touch
Whisper on a scream
Never change a thing
Doesn't bring you back
It's blue on black
Yeah, blue on black
Yeah, it's blue on black
Yeah, blue on black 


Daughtry ft. Lzzy Hale - Worlds Apart (Journey cover - Again & Again)

  

Here we stand
Worlds apart, hearts broken in two, two, two
Sleepless nights
Losing ground, I'm reaching for you, you, you

Feeling that it's gone
Can't change your mind
If we can't go on to survive the tide
Love divides

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways

Troubled times
Caught between confusion and pain, pain, pain
Distant eyes
Promises we made were in vain, in vain, in vain

If you must go
I wish you luck
You'll never walk alone
Take care, my love
Miss you, love

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways

Oh
I still love you, babe
I still love you, girl
I really love you, babe
I really love you, girl
Oh

Someday love will find you
Break those chains that bind you
One night will remind you
How we touched and went our separate ways
If he ever hurts you
True love won't desert you
You know I still love you
Though we touched and went our separate ways

Though we went our separate ways
Though we went our separate ways
Though we went our separate ways
Though we went our separate ways
Though we went our separate ways
Though we went our separate ways 


Silent Theory - Fragile Minds

  

Cut me open and you'll find
A brain, heart, liver, lungs
And a knife in the spine

It's chilling to know that the last place you go might be where the fat lady sings
Does it hurt? I don't know, and where do we go?
We don't tease fragile minds with such things

So sell me down the river
First help me sell my soul
It's something I know I can deliver
I think we've finally broke the mould

It's getting harder to know if I'm sane
My issues are leaking outside of my veins
Somebody save me or end me, I haven't yet made up my mind

If it leads to paranoia, boy, you might want to hit the floor
Before exposure leads to a metamorphosis we can't ignore
Lost in the whisper and hung on a prayer
If you don't know where you're going, any road will take you there

So sell me down the river
First help me sell my soul
It's something I know I can deliver
I think we've finally broke the mould

Will I
Be an end
To someone's destiny
Who's to know?
And will I
Give right in
To my aggression
Who's to know?
Will I
Fall apart
All alone
Who's to know?
Or will I
Shine right through
And lay this hate to rest
With all of you?

So sell me down the river (down the river)
First help me sell my soul
It's something I know I can deliver
I think we've finally broke the mould


Last Ashes - Life's Not Always Beautiful

  

The sky’s not always blue 
Sometimes the rain will hide the truth 
My hands are cold, my faith feels thin 
But I’m still breathing, I’m still within 
 
 Every tear’s a seed that grows 
Even in the dark, it knows… 
 
Life’s not always beautiful 
But there’s a light that never dies 
The storm will try to break me down 
But I will rise into the skies... 
 
The road is steep, my feet are torn 
But I have walked through nights before 
The cracks in me, they’ve made me strong 
They’ve taught me where my heart belongs 
 
Every tear’s a seed that grows 
Even in the dark, it knows... 
 
Life’s not always beautiful 
But there’s a light that never dies 
The storm will try to break me down 
But I will rise into the skies 
 
In the deepest dark, I found my flame 
In the lowest fall, I shed my shame 
Every scar’s a proof I’ve lived 
And I still believe 
 
Life’s not always beautiful 
Yet the stars still burn through the night 
The storm will try to break me down 
But I will fly I will survive... 
 
Life’s not always beautiful 
But hope still runs inside my veins 
I’m not afraid of what’s ahead 
‘Cause I will rise, I will remain... 
 
The sky may turn to grey… 
But I will keep searching for its blue…


Black Label Society - Ozzy's Song

  

Skies may cry
I'll be holding on
'Cause I'll be holding on

I saw you yesterday before you went away
Remember when, never thinking it would end
Blue skies up above, but soon we'd feel the cold
Although we knew, we chose not to know, not to know
But it's okay

The skies may cry
But I'll be holding on, holding on
The skies may cry
Now the race is run
All the chaos and all the wars
When all is said and done, I couldn't ask for more

Enjoy the ride before it's gone
Enjoy the ride, it doesn't last for long
Just trying to get by, trying to survive
Broken down, yet I'm still alive
Speak of me, it's alright

The skies may cry
But I'll be holding on, holding on
The skies may cry
Now the race is run
All the chaos and all the wars
When all is said and done, I couldn't ask for more

The skies may cry
But I'll be holding on, holding on
The skies may cry
Now the race is run
All the chaos and all the wars
When all is said and done, I couldn't ask for more


Nightly - The Shivers

  

Under the moonlight
The eve of November
I saw your bright eyes
Glowing like embers
Then you disappeared like
Shadows in darkness (Shadows in darkness)
But ever since that night
You left me haunted

And I'm tryna get you, get you, get you outta my head
But I never seem to let you go

I can't sleep after sundown
That's when your memory comes out
Chasin' me down like a killer
No, I can't shake the, I can't shake the
Feelin' you're always watchin'
Who's there? Somebody's knockin'
Runnin' me down like a thriller
No, I can't shake the, I can't shake the shivers

Yeah, you'd think I'd seen a ghost
The way I turned around and froze
Oh, I was caught up in your crooked smile, paralyzed, feelin' that body
Wishin' that you would put it on me
My blood is runnin' cold (Blood's runnin' cold)
Oh, whenever you get close (When you get close)
And I don't know if I'm terrified, starry-eyed, somewhere in the middle
Baby, I'm freakin' out a little

And I'm tryna get you, get you, get you outta my head
But I never seem to let you go

I can't sleep after sundown
That's when your memory comes out
Chasin' me down like a killer
No, I can't shake the, I can't shake the
Feelin' you're always watchin'
Who's there? Somebody's knockin'
Runnin' me down like a thriller
No, I can't shake the, I can't shake the shivers

I can't shake it
Oh

I can't sleep after sundown
That's when your memory comes out
Chasin' me down like a killer
No, I can't shake the, I can't shake the
Feelin' you're always watchin' (Watchin')
Who's there? Somebody's knockin'
Runnin' me down like a thriller (Oh)
No, I can't shake the, I can't shake the shivers

No, no, no
I can't shake the, I can't shake the shivers
No (Ooh), no (Ooh), no
Yeah, I can't shake the, I can't shake the shivers 




The Strike - Heroes Of The Heart

  

(Heroes)

There's a storm front
Rolling in from somewhere and I can't stop it
But I'll take it on
There's a darkness
Conquering the kingdom and I'm exhausted
But I'll take it on

And when I hit the ground
I'm not broken
I'm not broken

When there's no time to spare
When we don't have a prayer
When it all falls apart
We'll be the heroes of the heart
When all the walls cave in
When we have reached the end
When it all falls apart
We'll be the heroes of the heart
(Heroes)

There's a cold war
Raging in the background it all seems hopeless
But you raise the flag
There's a nightmare
It haunts me every night and you can't come with me
But you light the path

And when you hit the ground
You're not broken
You're not broken

When there's no time to spare
When we don't have a prayer
When it all falls apart
We'll be the heroes of the heart
When all the walls cave in
When we have reached the end
When it all falls apart
We'll be the heroes of the heart
(Heroes)

When your dreams fade out
And you need someone to reach I'll be around
When the tears come down
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you

When there's no time to spare
When we don't have a prayer
When it all falls apart
We'll be the heroes of the heart
When all the walls cave in
When we have reached the end
When it all falls apart
We'll be the heroes of the heart
(Heroes)

And if you hit the ground
You're not broken
We'll be the heroes of the heart
(Heroes)
And if you hit the ground
You're not broken
We'll be the heroes of the heart
(Heroes)



The Strike - Nothing New

  

South bound drive on a desert night
Cruise control at 95
Watching for the Vegas lights
Still not sure how we all got in
With white shirts and innocence
Heaven's on a hold again

Baby, and I said
Oh, my my my
I saw you from across the room
Black dress and Sunday shoes
And I said
Oh, my my my
I always knew you broke the rules
I see it in the way you move
This is nothing new

You were a girl that I'd seen around
I never heard you make a sound
You always had your head down
But there was something in the way you walked
I couldn't resist the thought
That someday I'd find you here where we'd never get caught and

Oh, my my my
I saw you from across the room
Black dress and Sunday shoes
And I said
Oh, my my my
I always knew you broke the rules
I see it in the way you move
This is nothing new
Oh now, baby
Oh no
This is nothing
This is nothing new
Oh, nothing baby
This is nothing new
Come on baby

And I said
Oh my my my
I saw you from across the room
Black dress and Sunday shoes
I said oh, my my my
I always knew you broke the rules
I see it in the way you move
This is nothing new

This is nothing
This is nothing
This is nothing new
This is nothing new
I see the way, see the way you move


Bleu Soleil & Luiza - Soleil Bleu (Up!)

  

Oh laissez-moi vivre comme je veux
Les pieds dans l'eau et la tête en feu
Oh laissez-moi vivre comme je veux
Sur des nuages, sous mon soleil bleu

Laissez-moi m'envoler
Toucher les étoiles, frôler les nuages
Défier mon histoire, laisse-moi m'égarer là où plus rien n'est égal
Même dans le noir, je veux sentir la terre,
La douceur minérale
Laisse-moi partir, même sans bagages
Caresser le vent
Je veux embrasser le monde,
Le prendre dans mes mains,
La route est longue et les rêves sont grands

Je veux marcher sans fin
Je veux fendre l'horizon
J'entends les montagnes et les étoiles m'attendent

Oh laissez-moi vivre comme je veux
Les pieds dans l'eau et la tête en feu
Oh laissez-moi vivre comme je veux
Sur des nuages, sous mon soleil bleu

Oh laissez-moi vivre comme je veux
Sous les étoiles, sous la lune en feu
Oh laissez-moi vivre comme je veux
Loin des problèmes, sous mon soleil bleu

Sentir l'odeur de la pluie sur la terre
Effleurer les pierres
Laisse-moi courir

Libre comme l'air
Laisse-moi donc briller plus d'un moment
Rêver sans frontières
Tracer des chemins que personne n'éclaire
C'est sûr, je n'attendrai pas demain
Ici et maintenant
Je me réinvente
Le monde m'attend
Libre des ombres, libre du temps
Est-ce que tu entends, oui
Ce doux refrain, comme une incantation

Oh laissez-moi vivre comme je veux
Les pieds dans l'eau et la tête en feu
Oh laissez-moi vivre comme je veux
Sur des nuages, sous mon soleil bleu

Oh laissez-moi vivre comme je veux 

Sous les étoiles, sous la lune en feu
Oh laissez-moi vivre comme je veux
Loin des problèmes, sous mon soleil bleu

Rue d'Aix (Paris 10e)


 

The Steel Woods - Straw In The Wind

 
He rode in from the west with an eye for a dollar to make
He pitched us a sale about healing and oil from a snake
The barkeep, he warned him, but the man did not comprehend
How strangers 'round here disappear like straw in the wind

Too young, but in love when she met him in some northern town
He treated her good 'til the sun and the whiskey went down
Did the bruise on her face test the patience of all of her kin?
Or do strangers 'round here disappear like straw in the wind?

Ol' Jim runs his mouth when he drinks since his wife passed away
But he's good to the kids and the crops that he sells are fair trade
But a travelin' man heard enough and took a pipe to his chin
That traveling man disappeared like straw in the wind

If the mouth of this river could talk, here's what it would say:
"If you come here with good in your heart, you'll be on your way
"But I'm not the one here who judged another man's sin
"Or made strangers 'round here disappear like straw in the wind"
Strangers 'round here disappear like straw in the wind 


Dotan - Let The River In

  

The coldest night came in in Spring
The final frost will slay again
We draft the roof,
Froze the shoes,
Killed the flowers,
And stole the colour from the sun.

Oh let the river in,
Burst the dams and start again.
Oh let the river in,
The will of men can't hold it in.
Oh let the river in,
As the blood beneath my skin.
Let the river in,
Nature plays, nature wins.

You held on to my hands like a vice,
You turn the screw, turn them white,
But there's a point, there's a limit where we break,
The current finds the quickest way.

Oh let the river in,
Burst the dams and start again.
Oh let the river in,
The will of men can't hold it in.
Oh let the river in,
As the blood beneath my skin.
Let the river in,
Nature plays, nature wins.

Ooooooohhhh

(I hear the breaking of bricks and water,
I feel the rhythm of the water...)

I hear the breaking of bricks and mortar,
I feel the rhythm of the water...

Oh let the river in,
Burst the dams and start again.
Oh let the river in,
The will of men can't hold it in.
Oh let the river in,
As the blood beneath my skin.
Oh let the river in,
Nature plays, nature wins.

Oh let the river in,
Burst the dams and start again.
Oh let the river in,
The will of men can't hold it in.
Oh let the river in,
As the blood beneath my skin.
Oh let the river in,
Nature plays, nature wins


Elvis Drew - Poison In My Veins

 
Da-da-da, da-da-da
Da-da-da, da-da-da

Posion in my veins that I'm trying to heal
You are religious, put you on your knees
Tears in your eyes when you're begging for me
Body is shaking, it's your time to feel

Posion in my veins that I'm trying to heal
You are religious, put you on your knees
Tears in your eyes when you're begging for me
Body is shaking, it's your time to feel

All the things that I wanted to say
Since we're alone, I won't lie
I promise, I will make you feel
All the things you desire
Since we're alone, I won't lie

Posion in my veins that I'm trying to heal
You are religious, put you on your knees
Tears in your eyes when you're begging for me
Body is shaking, it's your time to feel
