KING ALICE
[INTRO]
Hail, All Hail!
Hail, All Hail!
[VERSE 1]
She'll never kneel to anyone
She knows just how it must be done
No one can tell her how to change
She'll be the first 'cause that's her way
King Alice, she holds the throne now
Hail, All Hail!
Hail!
[VERSE 2]
She holds her head up to the sky
Standing tall with virtue and some pride
Confidence is her first and last name
She is not a Queen, she's a King
King Alice, the mighty warrior
[BRIDGE]
Rising from the wreckage of her youth (She always knew that)
Bearing scars of memories from the past (She'd overcome it)
She arose with strength and clear resolve (She holds the throne now)
And defined the new path she would follow
[INSTRUMENTAL]
(She always knew that)
(She'd overcome it)
Hail, All Hail!
Hail, All Hail!
[VERSE 3]
She'll never bring herself down (no)
Upon her head she wears a crown (oh yeah, yeah)
Don't need no permission from anyone at all
She is sovereign, she's in her, her kingdom hall
King Alice, bow down before her
SNAKE IN THE GRASS
[VERSE 1]
Here comes some trouble
I know that look in your eyes
You slide up to me, easy-sleazy
But I see through your disguise
Your eyes upon me
I feel the heat of your gaze
You're coiled and ready, baby
But I will not be your prey
[CHORUS]
You're like a snake in the grass, babe
I see you lyin' in wait
You're like a snake in the grass now, baby, baby
I ain't gonna make that mistake (no)
[VERSE 2]
Your past is littered
With those you've trapped on the way
I know you're thinking, maybe, maybe
That I'll end up just the same
Your forked tongue's lyin'
Some soothing sweet seductions-sssssssss
Don't try to wrap around me, baby
I'm just gonna kick you away
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
This ain't my first go-round
I see you lyin' there
All coiled up, waiting for your next big score
But I've been there before
I ain't gonna make that mistake, no
[SOLO]
[CHORUS OUT]
You're like a snake in the grass, babe
I see you lyin' in wait
You're like a snake in the grass now, baby, baby
I ain't gonna make that mistake
I ain't gonna make that mistake
I ain't gonna make that mistake
OPEN ROAD
[VERSE 1]
I'm sick and tired of sitting here
I'm on the wrong side of these windows
I've watched the wet paint dry
As my life passes by
These boots are walkin' cross the threshold
[PRE-CHORUS 1]
Hey, yo
The clock has spun, it's time to go
Ain't no sense in collecting dust
Grab your things, let's hit the open road
[VERSE 2]
Don't need no map, no GPS
The road can find it's own way there
Two roads diverged and I
I took the road less travelled by
And that has made for all the difference
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
Hey, yo
The clock has spun, it's time to go
Ain't no sense in collecting dust
Grab your things, fire up machine and
[CHORUS 1]
Point the wheels and hit the throttle
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I got a full tank of gas
We'll see what comes to pass
You'll find me on the open road (yeah)
[VERSE 3]
I'm chasing dreams on western winds
Looking for places that I've never been
I chase the setting sun
I ride to meet the dawn
I'm here today, tomorrow will be gone
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
[CHORUS 2]
Point the wheels and hit the throttle
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I got a full tank of gas
We're gonna see what comes to pass
You'll find me on the open road (yeah)
[SOLO]
[PRE-CHORUS 2]
[CHORUS 1 OUT]
Point the wheels and hit the throttle
I don't know where I'll be tomorrow
I got a full tank of gas
We'll see what comes to pass
You'll find me on the open road (yeah)
GAME ON
[VERSE 1]
Well everybody knows, it's just the way it goes
There can only be one, who when it's said done
Is left standing, on the mountain
Many are those, our now and former foes
Who came and tried to take our mighty throne, usurpers
Yet we crushed 'em
[VERSE 2]
Standing tall and bright, a beacon in the night
But as a moth to flame, our foes desire the same
Their lusting, is to take it
So we never for a moment let our guard down
Like a lion ready to pounce, we're warriors
Locked and loaded (hey!)
[CHORUS]
If you think you're ready, we say "Game On!" (Game On, yeah, hey!)
If you want a challenge, we say "Game On!" (yeah)
Anytime you're ready, bring it on
It's our house, we're gonna take you down
BOOM!!
[VERSE3]
So don't make the mistake to wager on the stakes
'Cause when it's said and done, you know we'll be the one
Who's standing, we'll be standing
At the sounding of the bell and the breaking of hell
It's all familiar to us, so bring it
Welcome to our home (yeah!)
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
Whooooaoh.....
Ahhhhhh.....
[SOLO 1 & 2]
[RE-INTRO]
Yeah... Game On, let's go!
[CHORUS]
Game On!.....
FINIS OMNIUM
[VERSE 1]
We're a race who lives among the stars
Sailing through infinity on a ship of azure skies
Peering through the void we find ourselves alone
Shouting in the silence, no answer, but still we sail on
[BREAK]
[VERSE 2]
A thousand generations born and died aboard
While gliding through the galaxy on our infinite voyage
But now it seems that we've forgotten why we're here
We're passengers, we're stewards, caretakers of the ship
[CHORUS]
We're primed to fall
Our starship slowly dying
Paratum cadere {ready to collapse}
Finis Omnium {The end of us all / The end of all things}
The signs abound
Our wounds are self-inflicted
Tempus nostra brevis {Our time is short}
Finis Omnium
[BREAK]
[VERSE 3]
The wise have tried to warn us time and time again
We're fast nearing the limits of our one and only ship
Anyone can see the systems starting to falter
The time is fast upon us, to save our dying home
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
There's time to save our starship
But will we save her?
Or will we, or will we lose it all?
[SOLO]
Finis Omnium, Finis Omnium
[CHORUS OUT]
We're primed to fall (We're primed to fall)
Our starship slowly dying
Paratum cadere
Finis Omnium
The signs abound (The signs abound)
Our wounds are self-inflicted
Tempus nostra brevis
Finis Omnium............

Cum resurget creatura {When all creation rises again}

Donum fac remissionis {Grant remission}
Ante diem rationis {Before the day of reckoning.}

TEN YEARS GONE
[VERSE 1]
Before you burn the house to the ground
I've got something to say
For years I've been patiently waiting here
As your heart's wandered away
But I know - that you're gonna say
That it's all my fault
All the time I was building bridges to you
You built a wall
[CHORUS]
I... know... I'm not perfect
Doesn't mean I'm wrong
You... know... the simple truth
Your heart's ten years gone
[VERSE 2]
It seems the only thing you love
Is to wallow in rage
You flee to the safety behind your bars
Lock yourself in your cage
But the truth - I've gotta say
What we've both long known
Though we sleep in the same bed each night
You've left me alone
[CHORUS]
[BRIDGE]
All these years I've tried to remold myself
Into your paragon
Now the truth is this is my black swan song
'Cause you're ten years gone
[SOLO]
[CHORUS, MODIFIED]
I... know... You... know...
Doesn't mean I'm wrong
You... know... the simple truth
Your heart's ten years gone
[CHORUS OUT]
Gone.....
I SIT ALONE
[VERSE 1 - LEAD]
Well I can't get out of bed
And I can't seem to remember
How long it's been since the last time that I smiled
And I need to wash this hair
But I don't feel like a shower
If I get up I just might shave my head
[CHORUS 1]
I hide in the darkness
And bathe in my madness
I sit alone and hide from the light
[VERSE 2 - BG HARMONY ROUND]
Sitting silent in this chamber
Locking the world outside
Like cold rain in late November
This heart is dead inside
[VERSE 2 - LEAD ROUND]
All my strength and will are gone
And my hope's gone even farther
All day in bed, I pray and wait for sleep
Broken dreams are all I have
But I don't want them no longer
Just reminders of the wasteland of my life
[CHORUS 2]
I hide in the darkness
And bathe in my madness
I sit alone and hide from the light (hide from the light)
I build my defenses
And make false pretenses
I sit alone just waiting to die
[BREAKDOWN]
Unanswered questions
Feed my depression
No redemption
I sit alone
DO IT AGAIN
[VERSE 1]
Be what you wanna be
See what you wanna see
Won't get a chance to do it again
Do what you gotta do
I leave it up to you
Let's turn around and do it again
[CHORUS 1]
'Cause I need a friend, I need a lover
Just call my name and I'll be there, yeah
[VERSE 2]
Say what you gotta say
Get to it right away
You won't get a chance to say it again
Go if you gotta go
Act fast don't move slow
Let's turn around and do it again
[CHORUS 2]
'Cause I need a friend, I need a lover
Just call my name and I'll be there
So much of each other still left to discover
But we'll turn around and do it again...
[BREAK]
We'll do it again...
Let's do it again, yeah-yah
We'll do it again, again...
Here we go!
[INSTRUMENTAL / SOLO]
[VERSE 1, reprise softly]
Now be what you wanna be
And see what you wanna see
You won't get a chance to do it again
And do what you gotta do
I leave it up to you
Let's turn it around and do it again, again, again
[CHORUS 3]
'Cause I need a friend, I need a lover
Just call my name and I'll be there (I'll be there)
So much of each other still left to discover
But we'll turn around and we'll do it again
HE SHOULD BE DEAD
[VERSE 1]
There was this friend I had way back in high school
That guy held all the cards, I mean it, this dude was cool
But no-one's seen him now, I guess for fifteen years
The rumors say he's dead, at least that's what I hear, yeah
[BREAK]
[VERSE 2]
I met some old friends for some beers the other day
One said he heard our friend had died in the CIA
But then the others said they'd heard the KGB
No-one seemed to know the facts, but he was dead, they all agreed
[BRIDGE]
And then just like a ghost, he walked into the room...
Oh man! Ahh dude, I heard you were dead!
Naw, come on man, sit down, let me buy you a beer
Oh wow, it is so good to see you man
Well how the hell've you been?! Hey!
[SOLO]
[CHORUS]
He should be dead (dead)
He should be dead (dead)
I hate to admit it man, but that's what everyone said
He should be dead (dead)
I heard you were dead (dead)
I can't believe it man, well how the hell ya been
He should be dead (dead)
He should be dead (dead)
I can't believe it man, it's so good to see you again
He should be dead (dead)
I heard you were dead (dead)
I can't believe it man
Well how the hell, well how the hell ya been?!
