FOX
Verse
Morn, Morning Light, I sleep until the night
No-one can find me here, I see it's bright, I'll disappear
Chorus
And Lone, Lonely Life, waiting for the night
Verse
The day goes on, while I try avoid the gun
In my den I hide, until the time is right
Chorus
And I said Lone, Lonely Life, Waiting for the Night
Waiting for the Night
Verse
I traveled into the night, Haunted by the moonlight
Along my path I creep, Hunt when everyone sleeps
Chorus
And I said Lone, Lonely Life, Waiting for the Night
Waiting for the Night
Chorus with Holding “I said Lone x 3”, Lonely Life , waiting for the night
LET ME HAVE MY SIDE
Intro
There ain't no heaven, when you can't see that sky, and I won't last, through this damn cold night
So Lay down your arms, and dance to our cry, seeing all this trouble, through our Human Eyes.
Hear those church bells ringing, ringing to die, singing the song, of a souls goodbye
a souls good bye
battle my, battle my, battle x4, my mind
Verse
I sign my heart, just to be the one, just to be the one, who would have done,
who would have had last, who would have had grasped, who would have had forgotten the torrential past,
And I see the signs, and I have heard them rhymes, but nothing could stop this tunnel mind
to preach the pride of an open mind,
Chorus
Let me have my side x 6
Verse
I've found the sun, the diamond, the rum, but it's no good if I am the only one,
for these have to be shared, remembered and cared, with a man's greed, the peace seed will not be spared
so let’s dig it a hole, and protect it's soul, if this tree was let grow, what would the media show,
a man of power being kind, this enlightens my mind,
Chorus
Let me have my side x 6
Bridge
And you give the sun away, we won't fight another day x 2
Let me have my side x 2
WE GO BACK
Chorus
We go back, yes, we go back, we go waaaaay, we go way way back x 2
Verse
I know you this-long time, we were wild, we crossed many the line
Sank whiskey every second day, I had your back, I hope we never loose our way
Chorus
Because, we go back, yes, we go back, we go waaaaay, we go way way back x 2
I thought I was mad, but that white jacket better fitted you
Bye bye sweet goodbye, to every Monday morning, we could only hide
Chorus
Because we go back, yes, we go back, we go waaaaay, we go way way back x 2
LOVE IS LIFE
Verse
Look through the valley of Life's crazy eyes
Every Element of Every Surprise
Gaze through the windows that leads down to her soul
Thread unknown waters, achieving your own goal
Chorus
Love is Life, and Love is a fool
Don't you fear no love, and I might meet you
Love is power and Love is for the brave
Live it's adventure and avoid the coward's cave
Verse
Climb the mountains to land at your shore
Every corner you know I will try and explore
Be with your people as powerful as I can
Respect every culture, respect every man
Verse
Bag on my back and thumb in the air
along the road we walk, without worry, without care
dance beneath the stars and howl out to the moon
when the freedom is heard, the harmony comes soon
Chorus
Love is Life, and Love is a fool
Don't you fear no love, and I might meet you
Love is power and Love is for the brave
Live it's adventure and avoid the coward's cave
SOLD MY SOUL
Intro
I sold my soul, I sold my soul, I sold my soul to my mind's devil goal
My mind is the devil, oh my mind is the devil, my mind is the devil that control's me
Verse
I feel enslaved in what i’ve built, I feel that rage, I feel that guilt
I don't know what to feel anymore, but all is lost walking out that door
Chorus
I sold my soul, I sold my soul, I sold my soul to my mind
Yes my mind is the devil, oh my mind is the devil, and now I’ve lost my mind
Verse
I cursed the whiskey, I cursed the stout, I cursed my gambling hand,
I sold the farm to pay that man, and I am lost without the land
Verse
Oh Lord I cursed you, like I cursed everyone else, until I realised,
That I am the one who cursed my soul, and now I curse my mind
Chorus
Yes I sold my soul, I sold my soul, I sold my soul to my mind
My mind's the devil, oh my mind's the devil,
and now I've lost my mind
and now I've lost my mind
and now I have lost my mind
Because I sold my soul, I sold my soul, I sold my soul to my mind
My mind's the devil, oh my mind is the devil, and now I have cursed my mind
WE ARE YOUNG
Verse
I devote my open hand, to live with you on this land
Worship this wild chosen place, wrapped up in its warm embrace
Chorus
We are young x 2
Verse
Cherish its intimate joy, discard that absent ploy
Exist to be care free, that's the challenge set for me
Chorus
We are young x 4
Bridge
I won't be afraid to never abide
I'l swear to the Gods that I will re-wild
Verse
I’ll let them emotions sing, I’ll let them wild horses be seen
Adore this loving present day, you have guided me on this way
Chorus
We are young x 4
THE BROWN TREE
Verse
The brown tree falls on everyone
It picks you out from beneath the sun
But you are not the only one
It scopes the land with it's shadow gun
So pull your heart of that falling leaf
For it hits the ground, you will loose belief
And don't let this tree shadow you life
Protect yourself with Miss Destinies knife
Verse
The brown tree falls on everyone
It picks you out from beneath the sun
But you are not the only one
It scopes the land with it's shadow gun
So Hack it, Sack it, burn it down
pull its roots from beneath the ground
for you are not the falling son
the rising warrior you will become
the rising warrior you will become
Chorus
Are you the one to protect me from this shadowed gun, Are you the One
Are you the one to protect me from this shadowed gun, Are you the One
Because I sit right next to you and the roots just loosen from round my shoe, can I sit right next to you
Yes I sit right next to you and the roots just loosen from round my shoe, I'l just sit right next to you, can I sit right NEXT to you
Verse
So Help me take out my green watering can
and plant a seed were it use to stand
and let it be a sign to every man
that the brown tree will never poison this land again
Chorus instrumental
REMEMBER ME
Chorus
Remember me, when you can't see me, i'l be down by those oak trees, remember me
Remember me, when you can't see me, i'l be down by those oak trees, come find me
Verse (Luna Moon)
You keep us all bright even-when-the-night falls in,
I fell in love with you the first time I heard you scream
I play my songs to you and you know my groove
You write, you design, you make me so proud of you
your gentle soul, your caring mode shines through
Don't care what others think of you, you just be you
Verse (Oscar Sun)
Your cheeky smile, sets all things right, for me
Your warrior drive will keep you alive and free
The sun is always with you, because you are true
Spear of the gods, your name has the it all, and so
protect our chlann, you are the man for sure
just drum and I'll be-there with you, just give me the cue
Chorus
Remember me, even when you can't see me, i'l be down by those oak trees, Remember me
Verse (Oisin Star)
A tank of a man, with a poetic hand which shows
Your strong but your bright like the stars of the night that glow
Your nordic blood-flows to a Celtic soul
The men will follow you where ever you go with might
Lead with your heart and you will always do what is right
the myths are all your own, and you are not alone
Chorus
Remember me, even when you can't see me, i'l be down by those oak trees, Remember me
Remember me, even when you can't see me, i'l be down by those oak trees, come find me
I'l be down by those oak trees, come find me
MAC DEE (AND WE RUN)
Verse
You cross the ocean to tell me
the waves crash and try reveal
your white horse controls that sea
In-this-dream, you alert-me, mac dee
Chorus
And we run, yes we run, from this dream finding me x2
I could see that fear in your eyes
why I had not even realised
you had journeyed this-far to me
to warn me of that banshee
Chorus
And we run, yes we run, from this dream finding me x2
finding me
Yes we run, Yes we run, from this dream finding me x2
Yes we RUUUUUUNNNNNN, from this dream finding me x2
Finding Me
I WON'T HOLD BACK
Verse
Wait for the sun dream of a quiet beggar's mess
Lift up the doors of my thought lock chess
Loose the glory of the feeders silver spoon
Reach for the walls before my city is ruined
Chorus
I won't hold back, I just let myself go
Don't let my fear, appear and linger through
the corrupted wall of someone else's view
I teach my experience, remember-what i’ve been thought
life is just a dream but it’s got to be sought
Chorus
I won't hold back, no no, I won't hold back
I won't hold back, no no, I won't hold back
I just let myself go
Verse instrumental
Chorus
I won't hold back, no no, I won't hold back
I won't hold back, no no, I won't hold back
I just let myself go
