PUNK ROCK BATTLE CRY One life One time We’re gonna make it this time If the fates allow Trying to make my mark Gonna be a comet Burning bright Better to die on your feet Than to live on your knees My punk rock battle cry It’s liberating Thinking free Even when the cool people disagree I played their game I was a fool Cause I forgot To break the rules One life One time We’re gonna make it this time If the fates allow Trying to make my mark Gonna be a comet Burning bright Better to die on your feet Than to live on your knees A lifetime battle cry All my heroes Stood tall and free So rally to me This is a declaration Of Independence This is a punk rock cry Let’s go Let’s go I’ll lead the way Into a brighter day You know your friends When the chips are down And the mob is at your door And you’re not afraid anymore One life One time We’re gonna make it this time If the fates allow Trying to make my mark Gonna be a comet Burning bright

THE KNIGHTS OF THE LONELY To all the lonely knights And pirates in the night Energy is all around me Some good, some bad Sometimes you can’t tell I need a jolt of the good kind Cause I need a win Before it goes to hell In the dog days Stand by me In the dog days We are the knights of the lonely Enemies are all around me Some good, some bad Sometimes you can’t tell I need a girl who will stand by me Cause lately love has been a living hell The knights and the pirates Die in battle or alone Remembered only For the battles they have won Come along with me On the ship of fools In the dog days Stand by me In the dog days We are the knights of the lonely Sign your name Now or never All the lonely people On this trip together

Ignited 03:02
IGNITED The mourning The calling The falling Now my head is spinning from left to right Doesn’t matter if it’s day or night Just spinning Thinking of the words we said In the middle of the fight Who’s winning? We are the boys who make too much noise Let’s stay, let’s get it right The Blood Brigade In a full moon light Sometimes it burns too bright You got a sword, it looked so cool Too much fire and too much fuel Ignited When all the dust has settled down I’m here for you, I’m still around Benighted We are the boys who make too much noise Let’s stay, let’s get it right The Blood Brigade In a full moon light Sometimes it burns too bright   The mourning The calling The falling

Stabbed 01:33
STABBED You sold your soul For some silver and gold Stabbed me right in the back Your religion is whack you were all in on the rebellion Supposed to free your spirit Not chain our expression Not be a depression You sold your soul For some silver and gold Stabbed me in the back Money is your crack   This was meant to free our spirits Now you don't want to hear it You're gonna say you're gonna say you're gonna say it You’re gonna say you haven’t changed That's right

NO X RAY VISION So many scars More falling stars Life can be surreal Why do we struggle so Pick myself up Get knocked down again Tilting at windmills til the end But this time I’m gonna make it all right Maybe this time   I hide my sin Inside my skin Tell myself it’s OK I don’t even fool myself Moments of beauty Help us carry on Like that record on the shelf We are the lost brigade My faith has been mislaid But this time I’m gonna make it all right Maybe this time   No X ray vision Just an incision No X ray vision
