A whole life flashes, before her eyes
Cut down, gunned down, beaten, it's no surprise
So raise the dead
The blade thou wed
With deadly steel, she'll find them all
One by one, the serpents fall
The blade offends
Until the end

turned around in the looking glass
You took it slow, but I needed fast
You could feel that I wanted more
But you shut that steel door
I won’t forget
No, I won’t forget
What comes around, it goes
Gone the flow, flown the night flight
Face-to-face, beyond disgrace
I don’t need your two-sided face
To tell me why
Why I gotta leave this place
Why I gotta go
You had your chance to make
The diamonds all shine
But somehow, somehow …
You walked away, back when you
Knew how I burned
Not then, not now
And now you’re back with a new excuse
Confused a ribbon with the hangman’s noose
You say you really wanna tie this down
But this train has left the town
And you gotta know
Oh, you gotta go
What comes around, it goes
Gone the flow, flown the night flight
Face-to-face, beyond disgrace
I don’t need your two-sided face
To tell me why
Why I gotta leave this place
Why I gotta go
You had your chance to make
The diamonds all shine
But somehow, somehow …
You walked away, back when you
Knew how I burned
Not then, not now

I can’t help it and I don’t know what to do
I get these kinda thoughts when I’m alone with you
I shouldn’t think them and I know that it is wrong
I’ll try to hide my feelings inside of a song that
You won’t ever hear me sing
I might as well just be playing to the walls
Yeah you won’t ever hear me sing
I could be screaming but you wouldn’t hear me at all
I should just give up and I don’t know why I care
I’m so invisible I may as well be air
I’m doing this and that to make you look my way
Maybe you don’t understand me do you Parlez-vous Francis?
I’ll just walk away
Cause there’s nothing else to say
And nothing else to do
I’m just not getting through to you
To you I don’t mean anything…

Steve Lindsley - Rise
03:04

Sometimes I imagine myself as comfortable in my own skin
And picture what it’d be like not worrying about unknowns or where to begin
And I sit in that moment, my skin feels like loose clothing
And then I remember whose I am
And that’s when I rise.
So much out there dragging down an already weary soul
Endless news cycles weave narratives that spin out of control
But the story of fear is a story of our own making
We have the power to share a different one
One where we rise
Everyone is a part of us - that's what someone once said to me
What holds us together is stronger than what pulls us apart, if we believe
We are the authors of our future, blank pages to fill
We have a chance to rewrite the narrative
and because of that we will rise.

One in a million, million to one
One in a million, million to one
One in a million, million to one
One in a million
One in a million, million to one
Lose myself in the summer sun
One in a million, million to two
Happy that I know that I have you
Over and over, over again
Over and over, again
One in a million, places to be
Lose myself then you find me
One in a million, hearts on the line
Happy that I know your mine
Over and over, over again
Over and over, again
This life is like one in a million
Together we are one in a million
This life is like one in a million
together we are one in a million

Were we all chosen, before a breath came from our lungs?
For the mouths of all our babies have now grown into their tongues
We are hungry for more, would you please show us the door
When the balance is corrected, and the pulpit overthrown
When the men who give their sermons are found choking on their words
We will find out who is truthful, we will find out all the fakes
For it’s hard to use your angel wings when slipping under snakes
Buy and sell your soul today
Who is right and who’s the fake?
Only time will tell
With apologies accepted, with our mother by our side
We will find we’re empty handed as we cross the great divide
Now left with all the singing fools in limbo in the dark
We are ready, we are ready for Noah’s next Ark
We were told to turn away if it shines too bright
We were born into light
No talking when talking’s unheard
We were born into light

Heard you got another
She was a wife and mother
You left her face down in the tub
I swear when they find you
You son of a bitch
Gon’ be Hell to pay
You self-righteous demon
Those Gods that you believe in
Never ain’t gon’ lift you up
You were seen in
St. Louis Cathedral, the gall…
Pray to God above
Crows told the story
To her father
He came for you
Bullets were flyin’
The sheriff
He got hit with two
Her daddy went down
As was written
Poor papa, he knew
The wrath of his daughter
Is coming to cut you in two
The people they are reelin’
The holy and the heathens
Forgotten, they’re callin’ for blood
You ran out the back
Hit the sewers and then you got away
Crows told the story
To her father
He came for you
Bullets were flyin’
The sheriff
He got hit with two
Her daddy went down
As was written
Poor papa, he knew
The wrath of his daughter
Is coming to cut you in two
She’ll lay you down
She’ll lay you down
She’ll lay you down
To rest
[Gm riff bit - instrumental this time, end with an Asus4 to A]
[In 6/8…]
Winding road
Fly away
She’s comin’ for you
And there’s Hell to pay
Stealing time
Ain’t your’s to take
That outlaw life
Gon’ put you away
Known about you since Dragon’s Tail
I promise you son you gon’ catch Hell
Ain’t no state line gon’ keep you safe
Adelaide’s time put you in yo’ place
You can run but you can’t hide
You ain’t gon’ stop the comin’ tide
Your petty wrath ain’t got shit on their pride!
[Descending Dm thing gets me back to]
Seen you in the red light
Bout fifteen to midnight
Losing yourself in the flood
The Fates they are pulling your strings
And you won’t see another day
You self-righteous demon
Those Gods that you believe in
Never ain’t gon’ lift you up
Spooning the world
Into your gaping maw
You ain’t got away
Crows told the story
To her father
He came for you
Bullets were flyin’
The sheriff
He got hit with two
Her daddy went down
As was written
Poor papa, he knew
The wrath of his daughter
Is coming to cut you…
[Big long hold on that half cadence to 7/8 accelerated riff to a tempo 6/8 open E5 with mad open harmony to get that Catholic Church vibe]

Simon Says
You can walk along the edges of a thin line and Simon Says
You can read between the measures of a rhyme
You can draw it up and write it down
paint a picture and hang it all over town with sound
Simon says you can hear the vengeance of the rain from the storm
and Simon Says
You can feel force of a raging wind like a swarm
You can draw it up and write it down
paint a picture and hang it all over town with sound
Simon Says
You can walk along the edges of a thin line

Well, I ain't Ray Stevens, but this is all about the streak
So I guess we'll call it even and I'll see you next week
I really need this club and I'm trying to stay in it
But here's the rub, I think a song should be at least a minute
Or maybe not
