Watch the clock - it’s ticking slowly Heart is pounding in your chest Make your move ‘cause now you know it’s All in or nothing, all in or nothing All in or nothing now... Arm yourself - prepare for battle There is not an easy way On the road you have to travel All in or nothing, all in or nothing All in or nothing now... CHORUS The count down’s on, you can feel it And it’s all come down to right here, right now Put it on the line, it’s all or nothing And the countdown’s on - counting down... It’s the brave who lead the fight Never backing down for no one Take your sword and hold on tight, it’s All in or nothing, all in or nothing All in or nothing now... CHORUS The moment of truth is here Stand up and become Who you were born to be CHORUS

On and on it’s all the same We’re moving but we’re going nowhere We never learn - we never learn a thing Turn on the news - more bombs and bullets What could it be that makes us do it? Where did we learn - where did we learn to kill? CHORUS Could this be another heartache This earthquake we’re feeling? Could this be another heartache Heartbreak we’re dealing? Pushing each other - climb that ladder We’re chasing the dollar and the power Where did we learn - where did we learn to take? Scream out to me you’re not the same They’re beating you down for being different Where did we learn - where did we learn to hate? CHORUS And in the end we might say ‘we blew it’ Can’t take it back – we can’t undo it Without a second thought We did what we were taught It’s heartache This earthquake we’re feeling Could this be another heartache Heartbreak we’re dealing? CHORUS

Scar By Scar 03:38
Gather up your things tonight You’ve gotta make it to the other side Right now you feel like it’s the end But you know that you can start again ‘Cause it’s when the fall is far That’s what makes you who you are It’s how you face it knock by knock And take it scar by scar CHORUS It’s what you’re left with after the storm That’s what makes you strong It’s what you’re left with after the storm Makes you what you are Take shelter - clouds are rolling in And it’s darker than it’s ever been But you know that this is not the end You’ve gotta keep on fighting, don’t give in ‘Cause it’s when the fall is far That’s what makes you who you are It’s how you face it knock by knock And take it scar by scar CHORUS Stormfront’s moving in When it’s not raining, it’s pouring You take the hit - feel the sting - let it burn within
4.
Oh, my hands are tied You leave me faithless All the time I gave It’s drowning my patience Oh, I need a breath Of fresh air to face this I need to believe It’s something worth saving Saving CHORUS ‘Cause I believed in Your lies, Your lies Everything you told me You said to her Take back your words. How the tide can turn When you’re swimming too deep And of all you gave There’s nothing I’ll keep Now the end is near I can almost taste it And all that we shared Has only been wasted It’s wasted CHORUS
5.
I wanna live - I wanna feel alive again I want a change - I wanna taste the life I live Bored of everything and so sick of myself Time just circulates, cutting off my bloodflow and... I wanna live - I wanna feel wind in my hair I wanna drink and dance all night ‘till no one’s left Letting go of everything that holds me down I’m treading water here - waiting ‘till I sink and drown CHORUS Catch me if you can - wake me up again Life got in the way of all I planned I wanna live - I wanna see the other side I wanna run - I wanna take a different ride Feel my heart beat pump ‘till it’s out of control Take the long way home Drive the roads I’ve never known CHORUS (x2) It’s so hard to follow your dreams Once life takes hold - it gets caught in between It’s got hold of me So catch me if you can - Wake me up again Life got in the way, it’s in the way, it’s in the way.... CHORUS Catch me if you can - C’mon wake me up again Life got in the way, it’s in the way, it’s in the way Catch me if you can - I’m waking up again Life got in the way of all I planned
6.
Hush now, don’t say those words - things like that get people hurt The ones before who spoke too loud got ‘put out’ But these are things that you should know - I won’t sit back and watch it unfold While plans of few for all the rest control us There’s poison in the food supply - Diet drinks to make you die They’re killing you slowly – They’re killing us slowly CHORUS Wake up, stand up – wake your mind up Beneath the surface, They’re out there to hurt us “Hush now” that’s what they’ll say When you know the price we pay For ignorance, day by day Our freedom is what they take So who’s gonna make them stop When they say there’s no room for us? Who decides who lives or dies? There’s poison in the medicine For sickness engineered by them They’re killing you slowly – They’re killing us slowly Wake up, stand up – wake your mind up Beneath the surface, they’re out there to hurt us Wake up, stand up – make your mind up If you’re feeling nervous, come join the chorus Wake up stand up – wake your mind up Beneath the surface, they’re out there to hurt us Wake up stand up – wake your mind up If you’re feeling nervous, come join the chorus Wake up stand up – make your mind up If you’re feeling nervous, join the rest of us ‘Cause it’s getting urgent – Let’s bring down the curtain

Domino 03:55
Oh, my love, it’s getting so hard to be The steady one in this ebb and flowing One minute I’m everything that you want The next minute everything’s falling apart Over it goes - domino, domino Over it goes - this domino love Oh, my love, it’s easier not to be Diamonds so rough You can’t see them sparkling With no intention to polish or shine Once the wind turns We’re just waiting in line CHORUS Over it goes - domino, domino Over it goes - your domino heart Over it goes - domino, domino Over it goes - this domino love Oh - oh - another one falls Oh - oh - ooooh CHORUS Over - over - over it goes, it goes Over - over - domino love, it goes Over - over - over it goes, it goes Over - over - domino love

Grey Skies 03:11
You got no clue I could do better than you You got no idea What you put me through Sick of winter hanging ‘round I’m sick of grey skies This is the last time You walk all over me And it’s the last time I’m only half of me Sick of winter hanging ‘round Sick of grey skies pouring down CHORUS Gotta break away - dying to escape Get out of my way - you’re my grey sky I’ve gotta get free Shadows over head ‘Cause when you’re here with me I’ve got the rain instead I’m sick of winter hanging ‘round I’m sick of grey skies pouring down CHORUS Why you wanna drain me? Why you wanna bring me down? I’m freezing in the cold I just want to get out CHORUS Gotta break away - dying to escape Get out of my way - you’re my grey sky Gotta break away, yeah I’m dying every day Get out of my way - you’re my grey sky
9.
Buried Alive 04:37
Caught up in another day There must be better way Nine to five, day in day out Then you do it all again But late in the night When they don’t own you Reality comes seeping through What am I wasting my whole life on? Things I didn’t wanna do CHORUS ‘Cause I wanna be different And I, I wanna make a difference And I - I don’t wanna be buried alive So what are you gonna do? Move from the crowd to the few And now that you’ve got space around you You can get a clearer view Open your eyes And see the real world It’s not such a nice place after all People are hurting, starving, dying Standing by we let them fall CHORUS …so what are you gonna do? I, I’m gonna be different And I, I’m gonna make a difference And I, I’m not gonna be buried alive I’m not gonna be buried alive
10.
Can a liar ever see the truth of a lie He believes in his heart to be real? Can a broken heart ever forgive and forget The pain it pretends it can’t feel? CHORUS A cold engine is the hardest to start A betrayed one is the worst kind of heart Left with nothing - so hurt and abused A broken mind belives What a broken heart says And a broken body responds Reaching out to hold an invisible hand It’s been needing to touch for so long CHORUS A cold engine is the hardest to start Love leaves the lonliest heart Left with nothing - so hurt and confused Living in fear of what may not come Lingering on what can’t be undone Left with nothing - just destined to lose Searching for things that cannot be found Screaming - never making a sound Left with nothing - except for the truth
11.
Sticks and stones will break my bones But words will never kill me Daggers fall from off your tounge They cut me deep, but I won’t bleed Here I am - back on my feet Here I am - you haven’t seen the best of me CHORUS You can knock me down and break my bones Take me out with sticks and stones Every time I’ll come fighting Every time I’ll come fighting You can knock me over - push me ‘round Chew me up - spit me out Every time I’ll come fighting Every time I’ll come fighting Time and time again I fall But every time I get up Backed against the cold brick wall I might be down, but I’m not out Here I am - back on my feet Here I am - you haven’t seen the last of me CHORUS You can knock me down and break my bones Take me out with sticks and stones Every time I’ll come fighting Every time I’ll come, every time I’ll come Yeah, Every time I’ll come fighting Every time I’ll come (fighting), every time I’ll come Yeah, Every time I’ll come fighting Every time I’ll come (fighting), every time I’ll come
