REST IN POWER (Derek Christie 2023) VERSE 1 A voice goes silent The noise fades out The never ending song has now faded There is a legion With a broken heart The big sound dissolves into the sky CHORUS 1 Rest in power My old friend We’ll keep the fire burning ‘Til we see you once again Rest in power My old friend We’ll keep this song alive forever VERSE 2 I can hear the Wardance As the village grieves The magic from your fingers rests forever Classical distortion Running gun guitar Exquisite beauty of the atomic age CHORUS 2 Rest in power My old friend We’ll stoke the fires ‘Til we see you again Rest in power My old friend We’ll keep this song alive forever VERSE 3 Now there’s an empty space In the sound we made We are no longer what we were Calling on the angels Bring out all your noise Keep us strong as we rage against the night CHORUS 3 Rest in power My old friend We’ll stoke the fires ‘Til we see you again Rest in power My old friend We’ll keep this song alive forever Forever

"We Rise And Fall With The Moon" I feel the wind against my face Bitter Unrelenting Hateful I feel the cold air Eating at my skin Yet I remain undaunted Even grateful We breathe We bleed We run We crash Rise and fall with the Moon We grieve We laugh When the day is done We rise and fall with the Moon We break down One fragment at a time Worn by the wind Waiting for the bell to chime The soul shreds The light fades Dying in the No Fly Zone Sinking into the sand Falling into the fault line We breathe We bleed We run We crash Rise and fall with the Moon We laugh We grieve And when the day is done We rise and fall with the Moon We resist Then fail We hurt We are frail Regressing as we near the finish line Winter’s sting The pounding rain Burning sun With its healing rays In the end We return to the warm embrace We breathe We bleed We run We crash Rise and fall with the Moon We laugh We grieve And when the day is done We rise and fall with The Moon

Gonna Be OK 03:01
VERSE 1 Floating islands of garbage Plastic choking all the fish Desecrating God's creation Nihilist's eager fevered wish Your will getting weaker Leaders yelling all their lies Shallow promise for the masses Dark clouds on the rise CHORUS 1 Through the storm, through the night, find our way Navigating through, come what may. Through the chaos, through the fight, seize the day. Never mind, peace of mind, gonna be okay. VERSE 2 Biosphere sinking, nearing collapse Poisonous hazardous air Interlaced threads of indecision Elected, feckless shunning care Shiny towers for the chosen Blind eye, darkness, devastation Burning anger by the people Flicker of light ignites the sky CHORUS 2 Crawling through the wreckage of a shattered globe Drowning in the darkness, taking control. Lifting in the shadows to find the light Never mind, pay no mind, gonna be alright. Through the storm, through the light, find our way Navigating through, come what may. Through the chaos, through the fight, seize the day. Never mind, never mind, gonna be okay. BREAK / SOLO CHORUS 3 Burn through the shadows to ignite the night Drowning the darkness, gonna be a fight. Lifting the shadows to find the light Never mind, pay no mind, gonna be alright. Through the storm, through the light, find our way Navigating through, come what may. Through the chaos, through the fight, seize the day. Never mind, peace of mind, gonna be okay. OUTRO So raise your voice Let the echoes pierce the middle of the night Embrace the change,. Turn the darkness into bright shiny light. Its going to be okay Okay

"Replace The Idiot" Rein Vares - April 2025 <Verse 1> Take no further this scary dance And hate the new...variant And blazing down gun shy and scared And maybe that's a fact Turn world order meaner On the hill, fall good on poor sense From a fool on the fence To a fault on offence ....Oh...he behaves even worse! <Chorus> Replace or die Replace the idiot Heaven tells us common sense We fell on nails Were fed up on beggarly fortune Turn on revenge again <Verse 2> He has gunsights on all of you Full of lies that carry him Fools like best, inside fail ...No matter what say to him Immense battles with the scum Fed on the losers and maggots Bad to the core, will come from there ...Full on full on in dare <Chorus> Replace or die Replace the idiot Heaven tells us common sense We fell on nails Were fed up on beggarly fortune Turn on revenge again <Outro 1> Oh lords of freedom Oh sick to slick Yeah... even thee blown to failure The others can see The force can't think Seething shadow on us bestow <Chorus/ Outro 2> Hold on to hold on Perfect deflect Yeah eagerly applaud the furfur Down to the free May force convict Seeking answers you only know

Clock in Stand straight Eyes forward No questions Hands move Mouth closed Thoughts drift Stay focused It builds beneath the surface A storm without a name The calm becomes a warning And nothing feels the same Pull the lever Brand the number Seal the paper Strip the meaning Heed the signal Cut the reflex Shape the ending Fade to black Again Don’t pause Stay still No thoughts Just motion Breathe in Breathe out Lose thoughts Silent question It builds beneath the surface A storm without a name The calm becomes a warning And nothing feels the same Pull the lever Brand the number Seal the paper Strip the meaning Heed the signal Cut the reflex Shape the ending Fade to black Again Fade to black Again Fade to black Again Step in Don’t speak Keep pace No turning Blink once Forget twice Repeat Keep learning Pull the lever Brand the number Seal the paper Strip the meaning Heed the signal Cut the reflex Shape the ending Fade to black Turn the dial Mark the symbol Lock the chamber Drain the purpose Watch the warning Kill the hunger Forge the silence Slip away Again

South of the forty nine Wrong side in charge Everything is a lie Direction unforgiven Fire in the streets Powder keg gonna blow Witness all the death Led by the reckless No guardrails left No truth in the words No order in the chaos No hope for the world United Snakes Hide behind the masks United Snakes Truth out of shape United Snakes Lines drawn in blood United Snakes Nothing left to hold Shadows grow longer Calm not in sight Lines without reason Fear in the air No signal just static No truth broadcast No order in the moment No one left to trust United Snakes Hide behind the masks United Snakes Truth out of shape United Snakes Lines drawn in blood United Snakes Nothing left to hold

Are you walking on the ceiling? Or you're broken on the floor? Do you ever get the feeling That you never stand at all? Spinning around Just spinning around I heard you laugh I heard you cry You're always on your own Another day, another year There's nothing changed Spinning around Just spinning around Are you walking on the ceiling? Or you're broken on the floor? Do you ever get the feeling That you never stand at all? Spinning around You're just spinning around Just spinning around You're just spinning around Spinning around Just spinning around Just spinning around Just spinning around

Big motor burning up the road Cold air cutting through my soul Night pressing closer every mile Streetlights drifting past my eyes Wild fire rising through the frame Mean ponies taken to the edge Wide‑open world — running the red line This machine knows where to go Big motor burning up the road Nothing left to slow me down My car and the night is calling Nothing’s gonna stop me now Shadows falling on the road The moon is shining thru the window Old memories rise without warning Something calling deep inside Fire running through my veins The road keeps humming with a warning Wide‑open world — running the red line This machine knows where to go Big motor burning up the road Nothing left to slow me down My car and the night is calling Nothing’s gonna stop me now Big motor burning up the road Nothing left to slow me down My car and the night is calling Nothing’s gonna stop me now
