Summon the Drummers

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

Fear is howling in the wind

That dreaded fever once again

The roof has collapsed

Danger has passed and yet

 

Tears block the passage

Sift, sort and salvage

Plow through the carnage

Clean up the damage

A better life awaits

 

When the ceiling comes crashing down

And you’re trapped and pinned on the ground

Stand up, dust off, summon the drummers

It’s time to hoist the colours!

And summon the drummers

 

Life is like war, you don’t get to choose

Some people win, some people lose

No one need die

But we fight for the right

to be free

 

Who can say? Who's to blame?

If we must, then we must defend and fight

But our flag will not be white!

 

When the ceiling comes crashing down

And you’re trapped and pinned on the ground

Stand up, dust off, summon the drummers

It’s time to hoist the colours!

And summon the drummers


Where I Hide

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

Hide!

Where can I hide?

From the world, from tomorrow

Masqueraded, barricaded

Behind the sorrow

 

Find!

Where are the answers?

Surely you know

Pretending, defending

I will never let go

 

Where I hide, no one follows

Where I hide, deep in the shadows

No more bright, shiny days

I’m lost in the maze

No chance, no chance of parole

Where I hide

 

Dream!

Where can I dream?

Conjuring trysts out of thin air

In a fantasy, rhapsody, fancy-free

Imaginary affair

 

Where I hide, no one follows

Where I hide, deep in the shadows

No more bright, shiny days

I’m lost in the maze

No chance, no chance of parole

Where I hide

 

Oh woe is me! Poor baby!

Don’t take pity on me

You’re the one who paid the price

A tragic toss of the dice

It should have been

It should have been me

 

Where I hide, no one follows

Where I hide, deep in the shadows

No more bright, shiny days

I’m lost in the maze

No chance, no chance of parole

Where I hide

O, where can I hide?


I Am The Wind

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

You won’t see me coming

I’m much too swift and cunning

You can walk right through me

But never subdue me

Batten down the hatches

Quick, secure the latches

 

Never underestimate me

Never ever aggravate me

No off switch on a cyclone

You’re standing in the blast zone

I’ll rip the roof right off your pride

Bigger fools than you have tried

 

Blame it on the moon

Blame it on the shifting tides

You’re looking at the king of the skies

I am legend

I am the Wind

Ich bin der Wind

 

I can be very gentle

And even transcendental

My breeze is like a ghost

Sweeping down the coast

I’m essentially elemental

But oh so temper’mental

 

Blame it on the moon

Blame it on the shifting tides

You’re looking at the king of the skies

I am legend

I am the Wind

Ich bin der Wind

 

I am Fujin, Aeolus, and Njord

I make things fly just for sport!

Take me along for the ride

But don’t get on my bad side

 

Blame it on the moon

Blame it on the shifting tides

You’re looking at the king of the skies

I am legend

I am the Wind

Ich bin der Wind


Wait Another Lifetime

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

What do I see when I look in your eyes?

Beauty with the power to hypnotize

Someone worth living for

Someone worth giving more

Love without goodbyes

 

I would wait another lifetime

To kiss you again

I’ll lock myself in

And I will pretend

You’re still with me - until then

 

What do I feel when I hold you close?

Strength and hope, but Love the most

Someone to dream about

Someone without a doubt

Would never say adios

 

I would wait another lifetime

To kiss you again

I’ll lock myself in

And I will pretend

You’re still with me

 

I waited all my life for you

I never planned to say adieu

But I’ll wait another lifetime or two

 

Life can be cruel and heartless

It doesn’t protect the smartest

No exceptions made

No debt is left unpaid

The final exam is the hardest

 

I would wait another lifetime

To kiss you again

I’ll lock myself in

And I will pretend

You’re still with me

 

I would wait another lifetime

To kiss you again

I’ll lock myself in

And I will pretend

You’re still with me

By my side, ever wise and

I shall wait many, many, lifetimes for you!


All Around the World

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

I want to take you all around the world

I’ll get the tickets, where shall we go?

East West North South, any which way

Just you & me, Mozart & Michelangelo

I want to take you around

And we’ll have the time of our lives!

 

Where will we stay?

What will we see?

Who will we meet?

Where will we sleep?

By land, by sea, by air

Somehow we’ll get there

By plane, by boat, by train

Sunshine, wind, or rain

 

I want to take you all around the world

I’ll get the tickets, where shall we go?

East West North South, any which way

Just you & me, Mozart & Michelangelo

I want to take you around

And we’ll have the time of our lives!

 

We’ll travel light

Dance every night

Make new friends

And hope it never ends

Ferry rides in Hong Kong

In Salzburg we will break into song

Feeling Fab in Liverpool

Carnaval in Rio, so cool!

 

I want to take you all around the world

I’ll get the tickets, where shall we go?

East West North South, any which way

Just you & me, Mozart & Michelangelo

I want to take you around

And we’ll have the time of our lives!


Don't Wake Me

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

2am: Eyes wide open

3am: Brain is broken

4am: I’m sick of counting sheep

Oh, Dark 30: I just need sleep

 

Too much caffeine

But I'm not laughing

Rapid eye flashing

Systems crashing

What the hell is going on?!

 

If I ever fall asleep tonight

Don’t wake me

Don’t wake me up

If you see me fall asleep tonight

Don’t wake me

I’m too busy dreaming

To wake up

6:05 where did the night go?

8:05 too late to get up so…

Close my eyes

Rip van Tinkle here's your prize

What is wrong with me!

Oh, Dark 30: I just need sleep

 

If I ever fall asleep tonight

Don’t wake me

Don’t wake me up

If you see me fall asleep tonight

Don’t wake me

I’m too busy dreaming

To wake up

 

Tossed & turned the night away

Covers off, covers stay

1 pillow, 2 pillows, 3 pillows, more

They all end up on the floor

 

Oh, Dark 30: I just need sleep


Like Magnets

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

Two magnets! Hard to pull apart

True madness! Charged and smart

We were locked together (mmm yeah)

Got better and better

Flip the switch. Let’s go!

Flip the switch. Make it so!

Like magnets, electro magic

We’re magnets!

 

Electric attraction

Generates passion

Push and pull, line `em up, line `em up

Positively charged with a little bit of luck

 

Two magnets! Hard to pull apart

True madness! Charged and smart

We were locked together (mmm yeah)

Got better and better

Flip the switch. Let’s go!

Flip the switch. Make it so!

Like magnets, electro magic

We’re magnets!

Quantum electrons

Erotic perceptions

Push and pull, line `em up, line `em up

Solenoid magic with a little bit of luck

 

Two magnets! Hard to pull apart

True madness! Charged and smart

We were locked together (mmm yeah)

Got better and better

Flip the switch. Let’s go!

Flip the switch. Make it so!

Like magnets, electro magic

We’re magnets!


Just Wanna Talk

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

So sorry how things turned out

Much too sad to grieve about

Give me a chance to make it right

Please call me soon, any time you like

 

I just wanna talk with you

Like a hundred times before

I just wanna be with you

A million years or more

Please talk to me

Please talk to me

Just wanna talk

 

I need to hear the sound of your voice again

I only dream and pretend

We must catch up and reminisce

Every precious tender kiss

 

Being next to you would be heaven

You’re my one and only obsession

So please, dear,

Pick up that phone

I need two atone

Don’t leave me alone


Perfection

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

What is perfection?

Mirrored reflection?

I’m beginning to see it

Beginning to believe it

Life is cursed

Unbearable at first

Why such lonely solitude

Waiting to be rescued

Glory Hallelujah!

 

You are perfection

Perfect for me

I wanna be perfection too, for you

I believe, I believe, I believe

We could be perfect too for us

 

Once in a lifetime

It’s real and genuine

Manna from heaven

Immaculate impression

Two of a pair

Royal flair everywhere

King and Queen

Minions sing: Glory Hallelujah!

 

You are perfection

Perfect for me

I wanna be perfection too, for you

I believe, I believe, I believe

We could be perfect too for us

 

Perfect match, Perfect catch

Perfect time, Perfect rhyme

Perfect place, Perfect face

Perfect Hallelujah!

 

You are perfection

Perfect for me

I wanna be perfection too, for you

I believe, I believe, I believe

We could be perfect too for us


No Time to Lose

Spotify | Apple | SoundCloud | Amazon | YouTube | Pandora

Every single year goes a little bit quicker than the one before

The weeks get shorter and the days go faster, the minutes soar

Can’t seem to finish all the things that really matter

Running `round in circles like a wicked mad hatter

 

No time to lose, can’t get it back

No time to lose, better hit the gas

Maybe we’ll get lucky this time

 

What’re we gonna do when the clock runs down and there’s nothing more

We’ll give a tip of the hat, slip out the back, and lock the door

Couldn’t seem to finish all the things that really mattered

Running `round in circles looking pitiful and a wee bit scattered

 

No time to lose, can’t get it back

No time to lose, better hit the gas

Maybe we’ll get lucky this time

 

Tomorrow disappears, becomes today

Winners don’t procrastinate

 

No time to lose, can’t get it back

No time to lose, better hit the gas

Maybe we’ll get lucky this time
