I've Hurt Myself By Hurting You
Heaven is falling Trouble snowballing Love has been stalling My heart is still calling for you, you Yeah, you We go through the motions Our world is imploding Like withered roses Caught in a moment of truth, truth It's true Always thought you were one in a million Always saw you as second to none I succumb to my own apprehension and come undone I've Hurt Myself By Hurting You I caused the pain that we've been through I lost my innocence somehow And it's all coming back to me now I broke your heart a time or two Tore love apart when it felt true I fooled myself again, got hurt By Hurting You Fraud to perfection Lies and deception Accuse and rejection And now our connection is gone, it's gone Long gone I'm down on my knees And panic increasing I'm begging you, please girl Forgive me for what I have done, I've done So wrong And my words may have been out of proportions I apologise and I do repent It was the whisky talking again I've Hurt Myself By Hurting You I caused the pain that we've been through I lost my innocence somehow And it's all coming back to me now I broke your heart a time or two Tore love apart when it felt true I fooled myself again, got hurt By Hurting You A towering guilt and a conscience burning A minefield of thoughts and a heart that's yearning My life is your command You've got the upper hand I've Hurt Myself By Hurting You I caused the pain that we’ve been through I lost my innocence somehow And it's all coming back to me now I broke your heart a time or two Tore love apart when it felt true I fooled myself again, got hurt By Hurting You 02. Unsung Heroes Music & lyrics by Ronnie Atkins
Fighting in the frontline
No question asked And you always take on the task Endure for the greater good with courage and strength You inspire by your story And you got no claim for glory and You risk your life to save mine You'll be waiting in the wings Pushing fear aside The uncrowned king Pay your sacrifice Pledge your very soul to love and liberty For faith and God, you'd die for me Hail to those who's brave enough to be Those never recognized, the Unsung Heroes Blessed be your souls The brave and the bold We owe you everything From the beaches of Normandy To Tiananmen square The rubbles of Ground Zero And all of those who dared their lives Unknown heroes, unnamed graves Never made a claim you fight a noble cause No one knows your name and you don't see reward We praise your honor We're in your debt You take your steps where others fear to tread Hail to those who's brave enough to be Those never recognized the Unsung Heroes Blessed be your souls The brave and the bold We owe you everything Hail to those who's strong enough to lead Those who cross the Rubicon, the Unsung Heroes Blessed be your souls The brave and the bold We owe you everything Hail to those who's brave enough to be Those never recognized the Unsung Heroes Blessed be your souls The brave and the bold We owe you everything 03. Rising Tide Music & lyrics by Ronnie Atkins

Mother Earth We've plundered your resources Now we can't reverse 'Cause time's running out and We're vulnerable All this beauty we were given It's unforgivable The evidence towering up While all we hold so dear is fading round the bend We're sliding further down the path of punishment A Rising Tide will flood the world Rapid fires scorch the еarth Heat increasing, boiling seas Holy mothеr misery We saw but little did we learn The tipping point of no return World condition volatile This is the culture of denial (Yeah) Sacrilege It's human-caused Mankind balancing the edge Of the abyss And ignorance The threat is real It's obvious, it's imminent No signs of remission We've had enough of all those planetary lies It's time to face the facts and open up our eyes A Rising Tide will flood the world Rapid fires scorch the earth Heat increasing, boiling seas Holy mother misery We saw but little did we learn The tipping point of no return World condition volatile This is the culture of denial Umm denial ... All this beauty we were given All this beauty All this beauty [solo: John Berg] While all we hold so dear is fading round the bend We're sliding further down the path of punishment A Rising Tide will flood the world Rapid fires scorch the earth Heat increasing, boiling seas Holy mother misery We saw but little did we learn The tipping point of no return World condition volatile This is the culture of denial 04. Remain To Remind Me Music & lyrics by Ronnie Atkins
Tell me do you see me as you saw me once
That first time high now, is the heat still on Tell me do you love me like yo used to do Now does my heart, still speak to you Love can be frail it ain't no easy ride To keep up the emotional drive In every way you Remain to Remind Me You kindle my heart and arouse my soul Whatever we've lost we'll regain all the ties And let true...Love unfold Whatever you wish whatever your desire Release yourself don't ever hold your fire Fall into these arms and feel that rush abound you Tonight we're gonna bust the stars around Now and forever till the end of time We'll never lose our moment to shine In every way you Remain to Remind Me You kindle my heart and arouse my soul Whatever we've lost we'll regain all the ties And let true...Love unfold Sometimes we take it for granted (uhhhh) And then the chemistry's gone (yehhhh) You cannot win single handedly Take two to carry on... [solo: John Berg] In every way you Remain to Remind Me You kindle my heart and arouse my soul Whatever we've lost we'll regain all the ties And let true...Love unfold In every way you Remain to Remind Me You kindle my heart and arouse my soul Whatever we've lost we'll regain all the ties And let true...Love unfold ... (Remain to Remind Me) (Remain to Remind Me) (Remain to Remind Me) (Remain...) 05. The Tracks We Leave Behind Music & lyrics by Ronnie Atkins
...
It's a history of bloodshed and violence The vicious cycle of the past You can't overcome a sheer contrivance Impose ideals when you unattached All your dreams of global stable order All the rage and anguich you conceived Now your visions lie dead in the water And all you left was hate and misbelief Cause your intentions seemed unclear It's incomplete A dead end street You left a trail of suffering and tears These are The Tracks We Leave Behind It's the blind leading the blind A darker truth and wasted live. I pray the suffering will end And the kites will fly again And all the pain will pass you by The Tracks We Leave Behind You pulled out and threw their fatal fate Into the hands of a brut regime So nigligent and humiliating Your failure wasn't a part of the scheme Indecision spawning controversy When you greet and kiss your enemy's hand You ought to know that when your showing mercy To the wolf it's cruelty to the lamb Well it's the sane old song and dance (ohhhh) You change your stand Accept demands and then It hits you like a boomerang These are The Tracks We Leave Behind It's the blind leading the blind A darker truth and wasted live. I pray the suffering will end And the kites will fly again And all the pain will pass you by The Tracks We Leave Behind [solo] These are The Tracks We Leave Behind It's the blind leading the blind A darker truth and wasted live. I pray the suffering will end And the kites will fly again And all the pain will pass you by The Tracks We Leave Behind These are The Tracks We Leave Behind It's the blind leading the blind A darker truth and wasted live. I pray the suffering will end And the kites will fly again And all the pain will pass you by The Tracks We Leave Behind The Tracks We Leave Behind 06. All I Ask Of You Music & lyrics by Ronnie Atkins

We used to hang now you can't see me eye to eye You look the other way every time you pass me by It hurts my soul To see that you're abandon me It breaks my heart The way that you elude my company Don't avoid or disappoint, that's All I Ask of You (All I Ask of You) Don't deny me or try to hide, that is All I Ask of You (All I Ask of You) Don't act so cowardly I thought you'd have my back Your fear of contact left me lost between the cracks Betrayed my trust Deserted me you let me down I feel your touch Anxiety all around Don't avoid or disappoint, that's All I Ask of You (All I Ask of You) Don't deny me or try to hide, that is All I Ask of You (All I Ask of You) I'm still around don't shut me out, that is All I Ask of You (All I Ask of You) Don't forsake me, desolate that is All I Ask of You (All I Ask of You) All I Ask of You All I Ask of You ... All I Ask of You You treat me like a dead man walking see me like a ghost Now can you comprehend my solitude Now where are you when someone to talk to is what I need the most Pretend that you were walking in my shoes [solo: John Berg] Don't... Don't... Don't avoid or disappoint, that's All I Ask of You (All I Ask of You) Don't deny me or try to hide, that is All I Ask of You (All I Ask of You) I'm still around don't shut me out, that is All I Ask of You (All I Ask of You) Don't forsake me, desolate that is All I Ask of You (All I Ask of You) All I Ask of You All I Ask of You ...

Blood Cries Out Music & lyrics by Ronnie Atkins, Chris Laney
...
In your crown and glory You have rephrased the truth You bring your pain pin em' down you thrive Obedience mandatory Indoctrinate the youth You pull the strain to keep their fear alive By slaying all your rivals You build your legacy Steadily conceal your brutality Persecute your people Create utopia A vicious modern day Caligula Terrorize Hate Speech andviolence Carnal or divine Blood Cries Out Suppressеd by injustice and fear Vengеance for all those deceased One day they'll be draping the spear Straight into the heart of the beast Heart of the beast You preserve your power Keep the wolves at bay Your malice chase your enemies away Master of deception Monarchy of the mind Your vanity is legend and maligned All deceived and cultural treason Disbelied lies deep Blood Cries Out Suppressеd by injustice and fear Vengеance for all those deceased One day they'll be draping the spear Straight into the heart of the beast Darkness grows within you and your human slaughterhouse Piles of bones upon the crimson ground A mind made for murder and horror all around Your satanic majesty in your realm of misery You shine [solo: John Berg] Blood Cries Out Suppressеd by injustice and fear Vengеance for all those deceased One day they'll be draping the spear Straight into the heart of the beast 10.

Adios babe I know that it hurts The tears upon your face Tell a thousand words I'm gonna leave, I gotta let go and move on (yeah) Hard as it seems be as it may Baby your tomorrow is my yesterday So bitter sweet there's never a time for goodbye But the memories will stay alive And it seems that It's Easier to Leave Than Being Left Behind Easier to flee than fighting first in line Easier to Leave Than Being Left Behind ... My sleeping beauty Dwell in your spell Remember that I love you more than life itself The higher the love the deeper the pain will remain And one sweet day you're gonna shine again And it seems that It's Easier to Leave Than Being Left Behind Easier to flee than fighting first in line Easier to Leave Than Being Left Behind Let your wrath and emotions unfold Free your mind unburden your soul And the smile in your eyes comes to show [solo] And it seems that It's Easier to Leave Than Being Left Behind Easier to flee than fighting first in line Easier to Leave Than Being Left Behind And it seems that It's Easier to Leave Than Being Left Behind Easier to flee than fighting first in line Easier to Leave Than Being Left Behind 11. Fallen Music & lyrics by Ronnie Atkins
And the rain kept on falling
Never thought I'd see the sun again I felt pain backs to the wall Tried to rise and fight my way back in I was lost in the ruins of what used to be me In the dark I went through living hell Spend my days to ensue and connect to my higher self I was Fallen, been falling In and out of misery I was crawling, been crawling Facing my fragility... In decline...Disillusioned and done Mentally on death row lost for faith (yeah) Hurled behind and thrown back to square one Eventually your life will find its way (yeah) Your belief is the essence of everything With the presence of a higher love And your mind is the muscle the spirit with you know I was Fallen, been falling In and out of misery I was crawling, been crawling Facing my fragility... There ain't no birth without a pain There ain't no spill without a stain Always a sacrifice no gain without a loss Always another bridge to cross [solo] I was Fallen, been falling In and out of misery I was crawling, been crawling Facing my fragility... I was Fallen, been falling In and out of misery I was crawling, been crawling Facing my fragility... I was crawling, been crawling Facing my fragility... 12. Make It Count Music & lyrics by Ronnie Atkins
From the very day that you were born
You've been cast To play your part Through light and darkness it's your destiny But there is always an open door A four leaf clover to be found A spark endowing you with clarity Cause inside of you there's something beautiful Can tell from that look in your eyes You gotta confide in yourself Every little moment, Make it Count Every precious smile you see around Every wishful dream that may come true You gotta remember Every traveled mile, just Make it Count Every day in life that you're allowed Every ray of light that shines on you Ablaze yourself before the fire dies out Take it all in Your sails are set There's no regrets when you've passed the line A fragile journey Sometimes an uphill climb But don't despair, be you, be there We're all just here on borrowed time (Yes, we are) In all rainy clouds, there's a silver lining There's always a light at the end And dare to dream my friend Every little moment, Make it Count Every precious smile you see around Every wishful dream that may come true You gotta remember Every traveled mile, just Make it Count Every day in life that you're allowed Every ray of light that shines on you You struggle you strive your whole life through Sail with your anchor down Now open your heart Expand your view Make it Count [solo: Lasse Wellander] Cause inside of you there's something beautiful Can tell from that look in your eyes You gotta confide in yourself Every little moment, Make it Count Every precious smile you see around Every wishful dream that may come true You gotta remember Every traveled mile, just Make it Count Every day in life that you're allowed Every ray of light that shines on you Make it Count |
