Hunters Red 04:12
lyrics
buy track
You know, Our color was the same red, Red as the predators. We lived on instinct, We wanted what wasn't ours. Our bed was common, but our pillow was not We did not know the peace We break all inviting locks and do not need the legal keys. You can only keep what's yours Another day is coming again To cover all the old memories Crushes and lovers are in my way But now I’ll lock away my treasure Is You enetered the door you were a stalker I could see it in your eyes I was the prey you were the hunter It was too late to realize You can take what you ripped out of me. there weren't too many bites I didn't leave you unscathed either the feathers flew in the night. You can only keep what's yours Another day is coming again To cover all the old memories Crushes and lovers are in my way But now I’ll lock away my treasure

Call the Captain (2023 version) 03:06
lyrics

We hit the pike to try Foray some gold and shine But we forgot to pray And involved in a fray All we had was potion The nectar of the grain I bet it for the ocean We lost and I was blamed Where is the sweet land? Miles far away The whole of the whiskey Wasted in the bay Call the captain now We have to turn around, Looking for the way back Or else we won't survive We landed near Wishport Then overrun the big fort Amused the gals wallopped the boys And hooked for the spolis The landlord said it's over And dared to start a fight Our captain gave an order But we messed up the night

Come swish around, my pretty punk And keep me dancing still That I may stay a sober man Although I drink my fill Sobriety is a jewel That I do much adore; And therefore keep me dancing Though drunkards lie and snore O mind your feet, O mind your feet Keep dancing like a wave And under every dancer A dead man in his grave No ups and downs, my pretty A mermaid, not a punk; A drunkard is a dead man And all dead men are drunk 1-2-1-2-3-4! Sobriety. sobriety! My little punk! Sobriety, sobriety! We are drunk! O mind your feet, O mind your feet Keep dancing like a wave And under every dancer A dead man in his grave No ups and downs, my pretty A mermaid, not a punk; A drunkard is a dead man And all dead men are drunk 1-2-1-2-3-4! Sobriety. sobriety! My little punk! Sobriety, sobriety! We are drunk! Sobriety. sobriety! My little punk! Sobriety, sobriety! We are drunk! Sobriety. sobriety! My little punk! Sobriety, sobriety!

You left me again, but this time for good The daytime ran fast, but the night just stood So I went to a bar near my home And I met this guy, Jamie, a decent fellow (1, 2, 3, 4) You left me again, but this time for good The daytime ran fast, but the night just stood So I went to a bar near my home And I met this guy, Jamie, a decent fellow, he said "Come here, my friend, you look so sad Surely I can help you make your bad times pass Come here, my friend, you look so sad Just drink it up and you'll forget!" The next day I met Jamie again But this time he brought along Johnny, his friend I started to talk about how life's hard on me These two guys were quietly listening to me, they said "Come here, my friend, you look so sad Surely I can help you make your bad times pass Come here, my friend, you look so sad Just drink it up and you'll forget!" The next day I met Jamie again But this time he brought along lot of his friends Johnny and Jim and Jack joined the gang And they became a bunch of good friends, they said "Come here, my friend, you look so sad Surely I can help you make your bad times pass Come here, my friend, you look so sad Just drink it up and you'll forget!" So we've been together since I don't know when I do the talking and they just listen I lost my job, too, but I have these friends They surely can make my bad times pass, they say "Come here, my friend, you look so sad Surely I can help you make your bad times pass Come here, my friend, you look so sad Just drink it up and you'll forget!" "Come here, my friend, you look so sad Surely I can help you make your bad times pass Come here, my friend, you look so sad Just drink it up and you'll forget!"

The house is quiet again. Let's get in! Slowly creep along the walls and jump through the broken window! Don't make a noise! It's dark, light the candles! Everybody is here, the girls, the whiskey, and we're gonna have a ball! Our shadows are dancing on the wall. More and more I feel alive. Jokes and laughs are breaking out. Please come closer! We're singing crazy songs. The dogs! Not the dogs again! My heart skips a beat, the barking's getting louder and I feel the heat! Hey! Hey! Blow the candles out! Hey! Take the bottles and get out! Hey! Hey! Get your girl and run! Hey! For tonight there's no more fun! Run for your life! Run for your life! The house is quiet again. Let's get in! Slowly creep along the walls and jump through the broken window! Don't make a noise! It's dark, light the candles! Everybody is here, the girls, the whiskey, and we're gonna have a ball! Hey! Hey! Blow the candles out! Hey! Take the bottles and get out! Hey! Hey! Get your girl and run! Hey! For tonight there's no more fun! Run for your life! Run for your life!

Let it rain (2023 version) 04:08
lyrics
buy track
I was found by the river Raised by people who didn’t care On Sundays at church I felt so close to God But I was just livin’ in hell I left school too early I still remember the day I barely could read but I could count My money and sign my name Let it rain down on me Let it rain down on me As long as I breathe, I’ll always be free Let it rain down on me The road before me ain’t easy It was not paved in gold In a very short time, when I looked in the mirror I saw a man not a boy I helped around a farm once I had some lonely days The landlord was a drunk, his pretty wife was young She sweetened my bitter nights and days Let it rain down on me Let it rain down on me As long as I breathe, I’ll always be free Let it rain down on me All the great things are dropped down But the hope of a better day My life is a mess, but I have to confess I’ll take whatever it throws at me The road before me ain’t easy And it’s not paved in gold My life is a mess but I have to confess I won’t stop, ’cause I’m craving for more Let it rain down on me Let it rain down on me As long as I breathe, I’ll always be free Let it rain down on me Let it rain down on me Let it rain down on me As long as I breathe, I’ll always be free Let it rain down on me [Chorus] Let it rain down on me Let it rain down on me As long as I breathe, I’ll always be free Let it rain down on me Let it rain down on me Let it rain down on me As long as I breathe, I’ll always be free Let it rain down on me Let it rain down on me Let it rain down on me As long as I breathe, I’ll always be free Let it rain down on me Let it rain down on me Let it rain down on me As long as I breathe, I’ll always be free Let it rain down on me

Devil (2023 version) 02:34
lyrics

God knows my life was on the right track I got everything I ever wanted All these things will die with me one day Just please don’t let the devil dance on my grave Don’t let the devil dance on my grave Just please don’t let the devil dance on my grave! I live my life my very own way Drinking as a sailor looking for love for sale I’ll be sober as a preacher when I die one day Just please don’t let the devil dance on my grave! In an old-man-eye mirror I saw myself dead. I was lying in my coffin and I couldn’t come back There were so many people I was dressed in black. Most of ’em I knew well, but none of ’em was sad.

It's a story about the unknown man I never told He lived here so many years ago Invaded every life Frightened all the wives He was a bandit He was wanted A criminal He arrived in this town as a sudden storm in the summertime He played a role of an injured corporal We believed all he said Said about what he had done Now we know he's just a real chameleon He arrived in this town as a sudden storm in the summertime He played a role of an injured corporal We believed all he said Said about what he had done Now we know he's just a real chameleon If you ever see his face Just run He's not dead He's alive He's just gone Looking for a new victim Looking for a new town He's a bandit A wanted, chameleon He's a bandit He's wanted He's a criminal, chameleon

Time flies as the slimy words you throw on the Way to the heart of a new fresh meat You just go and leave scars behind Everywhere you go All these lies – LIES! They won’t make you rise – WON'T! Out of the hole that you dig on your own, if you Think they’ll help- HELP! They’ll got you a skelp –YOU! Right in the face that you showed on the stage You think you have won but your soul is empty Always afraid they’ll find you out Always anxious ‘n always angry You know what I’m talking about You like spending time with sucking life out Of people who think you will worth their time All I’m asking is to look around and See what you have done All these lies – LIES! They won’t make you rise – WON'T! Out of the hole that you dig on your own, if you Think they’ll help- HELP! They’ll got you a skelp –YOU! Right in the face that you showed on the stage You think you have won but your soul is empty Always afraid they’ll find you out Always anxious ‘n always angry You know what I’m talking about Lies won't, lies won't help you! All these lies – LIES! They won’t make you rise – WON'T! Out of the hole that you dig on your own, if you Think they’ll help- HELP! They’ll got you a skelp –YOU! Right in the face that you showed on the stage You think you have won but your soul is empty Always afraid they’ll find you out Always anxious ‘n always angry You know what I’m talking about You think you have won but your soul is empty Always afraid they’ll find you out Always anxious ‘n always angry You know what I’m talking about

Kiss or kill Say, say, say What you feel See what you have done Our rainbow's just gone Black or white? I hate the daytime But I love the night You don't have a chance To ask me for a dance All the things are gonna be alright Born again, another day Another fight The lovely way to the great unknown But in the end I always find my way back home Kiss or kill Just show me What you feel See what you have done Our rainbow's just gone Black or white? I hate the daytime But I love the night You don't have chance To ask me for a dance All the things are gonna be alright Born again, another day Another fight The lovely way to the great unknown But in the end I always find my way back home If you buy me a drink I'm ready for romance You don't have a chance No need to worry I'm not falling in love You don't have a chance If you buy me a drink I'm ready for romance You don't have a chance No need to worry I'm not falling in love You don't have a chance All the things are gone be alright Born again, another day Another fight! The lovely way to the great unknown But in the end I always find my way back home! My way back home! My way back home!

I felt grace when you first embraced the worst Started to control your ruthless bloodthirst You told me you are glory With two golden wings I only see a monster Who rules the precious ring I can't believe you You will never change The kingdom is falling Feelings are broken Day by day I felt disgrace When I first Realised that you're the worst I lost control Battles sometimes hurt Next to you I'm useless A queen without a crown I'm the underdog but I comfront you And you always beat me down I can't believe you You will never change The kingdom is falling Feelings are broken Day by day I can't believe you You will never change The kingdom is falling Feelings are broken Day by day I can't believe you You will never change The kingdom is falling Feelings are broken Day by day No! I don't wanna talk about it! Let's roll!
