Make It Right

"Are these the signs? The signs of our times?
When you look around, everyone seems down
The world feels colder, maybe a little older
And with every day, we drift further away
But we've got the might to make it right, make it right
Make it right, make it right, make it right
Somewhere people are crying, somewhere people are dying
Still the children sing, let their voices ring
'cause they've got the might to make it right, make it right
Make it right, make it right, make it right
If hope springs anew, tell me what you will do
For the weary world's sake, the future is yours to make
You've got the might to make it right, make it right
Make it right, make it right, make it right
Use your might to make the world a little more bright
Don't give up that fight
Make it right, make it right where you can
It'll soon spread across the land
Make it right, make it right, make it right
Someday it'll all be alright
Make it right, make it right where you can
Make it right, make it right where you can
Make it right, make it right where you can

High Flight
05:32
|

"Silence holds dominion here
In the ashes of a bar that's been gone for many a year
The pictures burned, every smiling face
The test pilots who came to this place
They say there's a demon who lives out in the sky
And he would kill anyone who had the guts to try
To fly on mighty wings, and play his games
They came and they died, and no one knew their names
High Flight, to the heavens up above
Chase that demon living out there in the sky
High flight, to the heavens up above
Touch the face of God, and soar on by
High Flight, high flight, high flight,, high flight
High flight, high flight, high flight
Silence holds dominion here
In a concrete bunker that's been abandoned for many a year
The ghosts of the past rise up all about
From the days when the rockets would fly, the crowds would scream and shout
High flight to the heavens up above
Ride that fireball across the sky
High flight to the heavens up above
Slip the sinewy bonds, leave the Earth, and fly
High flight, high flight, high flight, high flight
High flight, high flight, high flight
They say every molecule comes from a star
Flung to the cosmos, flung out so far
As we prepare to leave, to explore, and roam
Maybe we're just going home
High flight, to the stars and beyond
High flight to the stars and beyond
High flight, high flight, high flight, high flight
High flight, high flight, high flight
Silence holds dominion here
At a landing site that's been untouched for many a year
The footprints and the flags still out there in the black
Waiting for the day when we'll be coming back
High flight to the stars and beyond high flight
Was it worth all that was lost along the way?
High flight to the stars and beyond high flight
Will it open the door to a brighter day?
High flight to the stars and beyond high flight
Will we go to distant wondrous lands?
High flight to the stars and beyond high flight
The future is in our hands
High flight to the stars and beyond high flight
The future is in our hands
High flight to the stars and beyond high flight
The future is in our hands
High flight to the stars and beyond high flight
To the stars and beyond high flight
To the stars and beyond high flight
To the stars and beyond high flight."

21st Century Borg
03:56
|
|||
"There was a time before they came
Before our thoughts were all the same
We had so many wonders, so many dreams
They've been taken away now, so it seems
I'm not me, and you're not you
There's a single voice telling us what to do
What to think, who we should be
You're not you and I'm not me
We're the Borg, 21st Century Borg, 21st Century Borg
They're in my head, they're in my soul
Trying to turn me into another thrall
I want to cry, I want to laugh
These are things that a drone can't have
I'm not me, and you're not you
There's a single voice telling us what to do
What to think, who we should be
You're not you and I'm not me
We're the Borg, 21st Century Borg, 21st Century Borg
We are more than Borg, so much more than the Borg
[Monologue: We are individuals, and you shall not assimilate our biological and technological distinctiveness into your own. For we have the human compulsion, the desire that drives us to grow, to become more than we are today. It is why we have come so far, exploring our lives as we reach out to the stars. It is why we are here, not to conquer with weapons or ideas, but to learn, to coexist. So to all of you 21st Century Borg, to you I say ...]
Assimilate this
Assimilate this
You 21st Century Borg
You 21st Century Borg
Assimilate this
There's a place, they can't touch
This dream of ours is just too much
Assimilate this
Hope for the future, for you, for me
For the day when we don't have to be
The Borg, 21st Century Borg, 21st Century Borg
Assimilate This
Assimilate This
You 21st Century Borg."

From The Ashes
02:58
|

"Rome is burning, burning to the ground
The senate is lost, and the house torn down
People are running out in the street
Can you hear the drums? Can you hear their beat?
Rome is falling, falling from within
Decadent lies, corruption, and sin
When the dust finally settles, and the ashes fade away
Will a phoenix rise on the following day?
Will a phoenix rise on the following day?
The republic is gone, nothing remains
Empires rise with freedom in chains
The wheels of time turn and turn
Stories repeat, still we don't learn
Rome is falling, falling from within
Decadent lies, corruption, and sin
When the dust finally settles, and the ashes fade away
Will a phoenix rise on the following day?
Will a phoenix rise on the following day?
We should have seen it coming, should have seen it long ago
The legacy of acquiesce is what our children shall know
They shall avenge all of our misdeeds
They shall rebuild, plant the new seeds
Rome is falling, falling from within
Decadent lies, corruption, and sin
When the dust finally settles, and the ashes fade away
Will a phoenix rise on the following day?
Rome has fallen, fallen from within
Decadent lies, corruption, and sin.
Pandora's furies led us all astray
Yet the fire of hope never fades away.

Rambling Winds
03:32
|

"Rambling winds blowing, I feel them flowing
Flowing through the air, these boots I wear
Are gonna take me another mile, I'll stay a while
At the tavern tonight, where I just might
Trade a meal for a song, come on, sing along
The bard has come to town, let'e all get down
Down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
At first light I'll be heading down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
So tonight let's raise a glass down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
Rambling winds blowing, the river's flowing
Flowing to the tide, I'll hitch a ride
And I'll sing you a song, as we roll along
On the river of life, there's a lot of strife
If you need to shed a tear, have no fear
You've got friends all around, let's get on down
Down the road.
Down the road, down the road, down the road
At first light I'll be heading down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
So tonight let's raise a glass down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
Rambling winds blowing, a song is flowing
Flowing out of me, to the people I see
On this road we call life, take away some strife
With a song or a tale, it's the Holy Grail
To a traveler all alone, and weary to the bone
Plant the goodness in the ground, as you get on down
Down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
At first light I'll be heading down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
So tonight let's raise a glass down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
At first light I'll be heading down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
So tonight let's raise a glass down the road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
Down that winding old road
Down the road, down the road, down the road
Down that winding old road."

Four Horsemen
03:55

"You made the deal, set out to steal, something from an innocent man
You'll never know, the ruin you sew, 'till it takes you by the hand
I won't be you play thing no more
I'm gonna settle this uneven score
Your luck turns ill, your cup will spill, your whiskey, your wine, and your beer
Lost in night, with plagues and blight, clutch your pillow while you tremble with fear
I won't be you play thing no more
I'm gonna settle this uneven score
Four horsemen, riding through the night
Vengeance is coming, a sword of righteous might
Four horsemen, before you they appear
Coming to take, all that you hold dear
Got the power, a dark tower, eternal prison for your mind and soul
You lie awake, with the lies you make, hear the thunder begin to roll
I won't be you play thing no more
I'm gonna settle this uneven score
Four horsemen, riding through the night
Vengeance is coming, a sword of righteous might
Four horsemen, before you they appear
Coming to take, all that you hold dear
Four horsemen coming down, four horsemen coming down
Four horsemen coming down, four horsemen coming down on you
They're coming to take all you hold dear
Before you they appear
Four horsemen riding through the night
They've got the sword of righteous might
Four horsemen coming down on you
Four horsemen coming down on you
Four horsemen coming down on you."

At The Gate
03:09
|

"I took a walk today, to where we used to play
It's still the same, like a picture in a frame
Me and you, the morning dew
Tennis balls, and old stone walls
A dog and a boy
A dog and a boy
When I first met you, you chewed my shoe
You were a week old, white and gold
You chose me, the way it'd be
I'll be your friend, until the end
A dog and a boy
A dog and a boy
Will you wait, at the gate?
So we can play, on another day
Chase tennis balls, through hallowed halls
Will you wait, at the gate for me?
Will you wait for me?
I took the blame for you, more than I ever knew
When you were afraid, with me you laid
Down your head, on my bed
Licking my face, or wrecking up the place
A dog and a boy
A dog and a boy
Will you wait, at the gate?
So we can play, on another day
Chase tennis balls, through hallowed halls
Will you wait, at the gate for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for ...
They said in a month or two, cancer would take you
No more tennis balls, and old stone walls
We had so many years, I'll shed no tears
'Cause I'll see you again, my furry friend
A dog and a boy
A dog and a boy
Will you wait, at the gate?
So we can play, on another day
Chase tennis balls, through hallowed halls
Will you wait, at the gate for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?
Will you wait for me?"

Mórrígan's Will
03:51
|
|||
"There's a chill on the breeze in the dead of night
Spirit's are stirring and taking flight
Gathering around a standing stone
Waiting for an offering of flesh and bone
Boil and toil. cauldron black
Tattered souls, summoning back
Mórrígan, oh Mórrígan
Bring me back to this world again
The cauldron born are rising in the night
Stalking the shadows of pale moonlight
The cauldron born set out to kill
Brought to this world by Mórrígan's will
Mórrígan's will
Sink me down in a cauldron deep
Where I shall never more sleep
Take me down where the raven's sing
Down to the gallows of Mórrígan's ring
The cauldron born are rising in the night
Stalking the shadows of pale moonlight
The cauldron born set out to kill
Brought to this world by Mórrígan's will
Mórrígan's will
Take me down, take me down, down
Take me down, take me down
Sink me down in a cauldron, bubbling water deep
Where I shall never, never more sleep
Take me down to the forest where the raven's sing
Down to the gallows of Mórrígan's ring
The cauldron born are rising in the night
Stalking the shadows of pale moonlight
The cauldron born set out to kill
They are brought into the world by Mórrígan's will
They are brought into the world by Mórrígan's will
Mórrígan's will
Mórrígan's will."

Too Long
04:49
|

"There are people marching down the street
Trampling liberties under their feet
Chanting curses, waving flags in the air
Spreading hatred without a care
There's got to be a way to ease this pain
Treat the sickness that's become ingrained
What if we could just take this blight
And ship it all down a river tonight?
Let's ship it high, and ship it tight
And ship it all down a river tonight
Take the hate and the pain and the blight
And ship it all down a river tonight
It's easy enough to talk the talk
It's much harder to walk the walk
It's time to build the world we want to see
'Cause change begins with you, begins with me
So let's ship it high, and ship it tight
And ship it all down a river tonight
Take the hate and the pain and the blight
And ship it all down a river tonight
Ship it all down a river tonight
Ship it all down a river tonight
Wash the pin away
Lead us to a brighter day
Too many people have been waiting too long
Come on everybody sing along
Let's ship it high, and ship it tight
And ship it all down a river tonight
Take the hate and the pain and the blight
And ship it all down a river tonight
Ship it high, and ship it tight
And ship it all down a river tonight
Take the hate and the pain and the blight
And ship it all down a river tonight
Ship it high, and ship it tight
Down a river, down a river tonight
Ship it high, and ship it tight
Down a river, down a river tonight
Ship it high, and ship it tight
Down a river, down a river tonight
Ship it high, and ship it tight
Down a river, down a river tonight."
