All her fuckin' lives
Flashed before her eyes
It feels like the time
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive

The keys to death and hell
The ailing kingdom doomed to fail
The bonds of sin and heart will break
The pilgrims course will take
Quelling the devils might
And ready for eternal fight
Aching limbs and fainting soul
Holy battles take their toll
Liberty and hope divine
Changing the water into wine
So to you we bid farewell
Kingdom of heaven to hell
Spirit holy, life eternal
Raise me up, take me home
Pilgrim sunrise, pagan sunset
Onward journey begun

I had died the tiniest death
I spied the catch in your breath
Out, out, out, out, out, out
North bound I got carried away
As you boarded your train
South, south, south, south, south, south
A feather taken by the wind blowing
I'm afflicted by the not knowing so
I look in people's windows
Transfixed by rose golden glows
They have their friends over to drink nice wine
I look in people's windows
In case you're at their table
What if your eyes looked up and met mine
One more time
You had stopped and tilted your head
I still ponder what it meant now, now
Now, now, now, now
I tried searching faces on streets
What are the chances you'd be downtown
Downtown, downtown
Does it feel alright to not know me?
I'm addicted to the 'if only'
So I look in people's windows
Like I'm some deranged weirdo
I attend Christmas parties from outside
I look in people's windows
In case you're at their table
What if your eyes looked up and met mine
One more time

What if I roll the stone away?
They're gonna crucify me anyway
What if the way you hold me is actually what's holy?
If long suffering propriety is what they want from me
They don't know how you've haunted me so stunningly
I choose you and me religiously
What if he's written `mine` on my upper thigh only in my mind?
One slip and falling back into the hedge maze
Oh, what a way to die
I keep recalling things we never did
Messy top lip kiss, how I long for our trysts
Without ever touching his skin
How can I be guilty as sin?
He sent me downtown lights
I hadn't heard it in a while
Am I allowed to cry?

I remember those lost in the dark
The bullet or the blade that kept us apart
But I’ve been moving on, can’t be still for long
‘Cause it’s the only way
Never ache for a place called home
Can’t hold on so tight, gotta let it all go
I have a purpose, it’s all that I need
To help me find my way
Every day
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
Don’t be drawn into the light or the shadows in your head
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
And don’t ever look back, don’t ever look back
‘Cause I, I got a feeling in my bones that everything’s gonna be fine
Yeah, don’t ever look back
Don’t ever look back
I fought a war and I learned how to win
But how do you fight when the enemy’s within?
Find your pride, go deeper inside
For the fire that will light your way
The ones you trust can one day betray
You’re the hunter and then you’re the prey
You pay the cost, it all feels lost
Then you hear a voice inside you say
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
Don’t be drawn into the light or the shadows in your head
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
And don’t ever look back, don’t ever look back
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
Don’t be drawn into the light or the shadows in your head
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
And don’t ever look back, don’t ever look back
‘Cause I got a feeling in my bones that the future is gonna be fine
Yeah, don’t ever look back
Don’t hold to the past
A lot of road now behind me
Every cut, every bruise, they tell their own story
Whatever's up ahead, around the next bend
I know I will survive
I've learned how to live with regret
I can't forgive but how could I forget
The things I've learned, the strength that I've earned
I have it all by my side, as I ride
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
Don't be drawn into the light
Or the shadows in your head
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
Don't be drawn into the light
Or the shadows in your head
Keep your eyes on the road ahead
And don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
'Cause I, I got a feeling in my bones
That everything's gonna be fine
Yeah, don't ever look back
Don't ever look back
I remember those lost in the dark
The bullet or the blade that kept us apart
But I’ve been moving on, can’t be still for long
‘Cause it’s the only way

Sitting at a red light around midnight
Going out of my mind
Nothing in the headlights
Thinking about her taillights
Looking for an exit sign
But there ain't no way out
Goodbye in a small town
Turns dirt into leaving dust
Pedal down but somehow
Goodbye in a small town
Will keep ya stuck in the middle of
A breakup, breakdown
Gettin' nowhere, trying not to think about where she is right now
I don't know, all I know is it's going South
Like a worn-out truck, I need a little luck
'Cause tonight I'm stuck in the middle of
A breakup, breakdown

If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don’t deal in lies,
Or being hated, don’t give way to hating,
And yet don’t look too good, nor talk too wise:
If you can dream—and not make dreams your master;
If you can think—and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;
If you can bear to hear the truth you’ve spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build ’em up with worn-out tools:
If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the Will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings—nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;
If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds’ worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that’s in it,
And—which is more—you’ll be a Man, my son!
- If by Rudyard Kipling.

I vow to thee, my country
All earthly things above
Entire and whole and perfect
The service of my love
The love that asks no questions
The love that stands the test
That lays upon the altar
The dearest and the best
The love that never falters
The love that pays the price
The love that makes undaunted
The final sacrifice
And there's another country
I've heard of long ago
Most dear to them that love her
Most great to them that know
We may not count her armies
We may not see her king
Her fortress is a faithful heart
Her pride is suffering
And soul by soul and silently
Her shining bounds increase
And her ways are ways of gentleness
And all her paths are peace
