I Did My Time

I did my time,
While you been makin' a fool outta me,
While you been makin' the inside pay,
Now I return,
To revisit the same,
What lies before us is what we face.
It is our time,
We are the last, we are all that remain,
Though we are one, we are never same,
As I would heal,
You would shrink and decay,
As we collide, I give time away.
A river runs through our hearts and minds,
It carries us till the end of our time,
This river it is not yours or mine,
It flows for the living from those who know sacrifice.
I did my time.

Said And Done

We move deep inside,
Down in the dead of night,
Bring back dead to life,
We’ll get you out tonight.
We hear the call of light,
Signed up to death-defy,
Behind rival lines,
We’re takin’ back the night.
When it all is said and done,
When we reap what has become,
When it all is said and done,
We get each other back to…
Untold a story lies,
Between the veils of night,
Of untold sacrifice,
We stand to testify.
We move to survive,
Resistance justified,
Fall for no grand designs,
We’re bringin’ back the light.
When it all is said and done,
When we reap what has become,
When it all is said and done,
We get each other back to…
When it all is said and done,
And we reap what has become,
When it all is said and done,
We get each other back to one.
We move deep inside.
We move deep inside.

Farewell
04:04

It poured onto a page,
In words that he might know,
The parting glass we raised,
He read and tears would show.
Farewell you fallin’ stars,
So long you lonely prison walls,
We sang through darkest hours,
And went on through the rain.
We spoke before them all,
Imparted what we shared,
And then I sang a song,
For all who would be there.
Farewell you fallin’ stars,
So long you lonely prison walls,
We sang through darkest hours,
And went on through the rain,
As we would again.
If this is the end,
The truth is my friend,
We all face,
What nobody knows,
The life that we chose,
Is ours to be given again.
It pours into the songs,
For all who would go on.
Farewell you fallin’ stars,
So long you lonely prison walls,
We sang through darkest hours,
And went on through the rain.
Farewell ya fallen star,
So long you lonely prison walls,
We sing in darkest hour,
And go on, on through the rain,
As we would, time and again,
We go on, on through the rain,
Time and time again.
Farewell ya fallen star,
So long dear prison walls.

This hotel bar is full of people,
Piano man's really layin' it down,
The old bartender is as high as a steeple,
So tonight why wear a frown?
The joint is jumpin' all around me,
But my mood is really not in style,
Right now the blues flock up to surround me,
But I'll break after a while.
'Cause I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
Sailin' like a driftwood on a windy bay,
Yeah I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
Sailin' like a driftwood on a windy bay.
There's a song on the lips of everybody,
There's a smile goin' all 'round the room,
There's conversations overflowin',
Still I sit here with the blues.
'Cause I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
Sailin' like a driftwood on a windy bay,
Yeah I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
Sailin' like a driftwood on a windy bay.
Why ask how I feel,
How does it look to you,
I fell hook, line and sinker,
Lost my captain and my crew,
I'm standin' on the landing,
There's no one here but me,
That's where you'll find me,
Lookin' out the deep blue sea.
This hotel bar lost all its people,
Piano man caught the last bus home,
The old bartender is asleep in the corner,
Why I'm still here I just don't know.
'Cause I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
Sailin' like a driftwood on a windy bay,
Yeah I'm a million miles away,
I'm a million miles away,
Sailin' like a driftwood on a windy bay.
Sailin' like a driftwood,
Sailin' like a driftwood,
Sailin' like a driftwood on a windy bay.

The Foggy Dew
03:59
|

As down the glen one Easter morn
To a city fair rode I
There armed lines of marching men
In squadrons passed me by
No fife did hum
No battle drum did sound its dread tattoo
But the Angelus Bells o'er Liffey swells
Rang out o'er a foggy dew
Right proudly high over Dublin town
They hung out the flag o' war
'Twas better to die 'neath that Irish sky
Than at Sulva or Sud-El-Bar
And from the plains o' Royal Meath
Strong men came hurryin' through
While Brittania's Huns with their long range guns
Sailed in through a foggy dew
Well the bravest fell and that requiem bell
Rang mournfully and clear
For those who died that Eastertide in the
Springin' of the year
And the world did gaze in deep amaze
At fearless men but few
Who bore the fight so that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew
Who bore the fight so that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew
Who bore the fight so that freedom's light
Might shine through the foggy dew
Might shine through the foggy dew
Might shine through the foggy dew
