Iron savior - The savior

Out in the vast
Where time is standing still
I have been looking for sanctuary
Left the world behind
To find some peace of mind
Now I am one with eternity

Millenniums are passing
In the blink of an eye
While I was searching my very soul
Longing for the answer
To the question of it all
Is it man or machine in control?

Far beyond on cosmic winds
I have been meeting my fate
Now I see
That the answer's been in me

I am the Savior
The chosen one
I am the ultimate dream
I am man and machine
I am the Savior
The only one
And from eternity
I will return
Time has come
Time has come

Used to be a traveler
On a never-ending ride
Touching the end of the Universe
Never to rest
Always on the quest
For deliverance from the eternal curse

Far beyond on cosmic winds
I saw the truth to it all
Now I see
What the future holds for me

I am the Savior
The chosen one
I am the ultimate dream
I am man and machine
I am the Savior
The only one
And from eternity
I will return
Time has come
Time has come

Iron savior - Paradise

A pale moon is rising,
In silverless grey.
It shines on the world,
Enlighting the decay.
A dead eye that stares at the night,
Tainting the skies in unholy light.
The towers of strength,
The heart of it all,
Broken to debris,
Atlantis will fall.
And I wonder why,
But the world will die
In fire and ice.
A million lives
Murdered by treason and lies.
Oh, take me away!

Far beyond the stars,
Far beyond the skies,
There must be a land
We're calling Paradise.
Far, far away,
Far beyond the skies,
We shall be questing out
The land we're calling Paradise.
It's calling you, it's calling me,
So let it shine
Until the end of all time!

Damned to survive,
Bearing the pain
To keep man alive,
Preserving the remains.
And I wonder why,
But the world will die,
Nothing will remain.
I'm a bleeding heart,
In the falling dark
I will never be the same!
Oh, take me away!

Far beyond the stars,
Far beyond the skies,
There must be a land
We're calling Paradise.
Far, far away,
Far beyond the skies,
We shall be questing out
The land we're calling Paradise.
It's calling you, it's calling me,
So let it shine
Until the end of all time!

Oh, let it shine on,
Until the end of time!

And by the ancient gods,
I'm swearing my revenge
And from beyond the grave
We shall avenge!
Your head will roll - you're gonna bleed
For killing us - betraying us!
Traitor beware!
We're gonna get you anywhere!

Far beyond the stars,
Far beyond the skies,
There must be a land
We're calling Paradise.
Far, far away,
Far beyond the skies,
We shall be questing out
The land we're calling Paradise.
It's calling you, it's calling me,
So let it shine
Until the end of all time!

Take me far beyond the skies,
Oh, take me away!
Take me far beyond the skies,
Take me to Paradise!

Afrojack feat Chris brown - As your friend

I just can't live anymore like this
My heart just opened up the door again
just watch me fly as I spread my wings
don't ask me why 'cause there are too many things.

And now we're standing on the edge
looking like here we go again
I used to be your man but today
I woke up as your friend

Chorus:
As your friend, as your friend, as your friend
I woke up as your friend,
As your friend, as your friend,
I woke up as your friend

Oh lil' mama
I can feel your fire
You poisonous lady
Let me take you higher
And I don't care if it's a bad time
Just label me the bad guy tonight

And now we're standing on the edge,
Looking like here we go again
I used to be your man but today
I woke up as your friend

I came to party hoping that you would fall in love
Don't mean to put no pressure on you
Everybody loving madly
And the DJ he's getting drunk
Trying to get next to you

And now we're standing on the edge
looking like here we go again
I used to be your man but today
I woke up as your friend
Chorus:
As your friend, as your friend, as your friend
I woke up as your friend,
As your friend, as your friend,
I woke up, I woke up as a friend
As your friend, as your friend, as your friend,
As your friend, as your friend, as your friend
I woke up as your friend.

(I'ma f*ck that pussy)
(I'ma f*ck that pussy)
(I'ma f*ck that pussy)

And now we're standing on the edge
looking like here we go again
I used to be your man but today
I woke up as your friend

(I'ma f*ck that pussy)
(I'ma f*ck that pussy)
(I'ma f*ck that pussy)
(I'ma f*ck that pussy)
(I'ma f*ck that pussy)

Afrojack feat spree wilson - The spark

[Intro:]A little bit of misfit dancing
A little bit of jojo dancing
A little bit of thoughts of mine coming out
The mind of this midnight rambler

[Verse:]
I can't wait til these tunes of mine get me out of this local jam
Get up up on that big stage now
Show the world just who the heck I am

[Verse:]
Ever think you if it all goes right
You got something that could change your life
Use that moment just to show you're alive
Everything is gonna be alright.

[Chorus – part 1:]
Crashing through the stars, alright
I'm screaming til the stars collide
I'm telling everybody, that's right
We all got the spark, we all got the spark tonight
[Chorus – part 2:]
Taking back the way we are
'Cause that's just the way we are
I'm crashing through the dark, we're alright
We all got the spark, we all got the spark tonight

[Verse:]
They say if you look around for something hard enough
And you just might find it
And there's some around who wanna keep you down
But shawty don't be blinded
Hey, feeling trapped, thinking that you can't get out of this humdrum scene
Time to turn this thing upside down
Show these people what you really mean

[Verse:]
Ever think that you could lose your mind
Could it be the big dream you'll find
No more waiting cause it's almost time
Everything is gonna be alright,.
[Chorus – part 1:]
Crashing through the stars, alright
I'm screaming til the stars collide
I'm telling everybody, that's right
We all got the spark, we all got the spark tonight

[Chorus – part 2:]
Taking back the way we are
'Cause that's just the way we are
I'm crashing through the dark, we're alright
We all got the spark, we all got the spark tonight

[Bridge:]
I'mma feel this forever
Or even if it's just tonight
I can see the thing much clearer
Even when I close my eyes
Tryna keep myself from falling
Tryna get this thing right
I gotta do this more often
Well, well maybe tonight
[Chorus – part 1:]
Crashing through the stars, alright
I'm screaming til the stars collide
I'm telling everybody, that's right
We all got the spark, we all got the spark tonight

[Chorus – part 2:]
Taking back the way we are
'Cause that's just the way we are
I'm crashing through the dark, we're alright
We all got the spark, we all got the spark tonight

As lay I dying - A greater foundation

Reality no longer battles perception.
This letter's written to no one.

Sincere,
I sought your truth and divine purpose through myths of revelation.
Guidance all wrapped up in a paper box,
supported only so long, as my mind was the enemy.
I could not in conscience hold on.

AS WE face distress WE MUST not lose heart.
STAND FAST and press on,
TRIUMPH AWAITS
AS WE face distress WE MUST not lose heart.
STAND FAST and press on,
TRIUMPH AWAITS us

The powerful constant that I had once leaned on is no longer there (no longer)
You call this shameful disbelief,
a process like losing my closest friend.

AS WE face distress WE MUST not lose heart.
STAND FAST and press on,
TRIUMPH AWAITS
AS WE face distress WE MUST not lose heart.
STAND FAST and press on,
TRIUMPH AWAITS us

Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart,
before we can rebuild them again - a greater foundation.

I wish there was another way, but no amount of devotion can fix this.
Triumph awaits! [x5]

Sometimes we have to watch our whole lives fall apart,
before we can rebuild them again - a greater foundation.

Arch enemy - Revolution begins

Since the day that you were born the wheels are in motion
Turning ever faster - Play your part in the big machine
The stage is set, the road is chosen
You fate preordained
We are watching you - every step of the way

Never too late to stand your ground - Revolution begins
In you - In me - Revolution!

Once lost - Lost in their game
Mental chains breaking now
Set yourself free
Who are they to tell you what to do?
The stage is not set, the road is not chosen
Your fate not preordained
They are losing control - every step of the way

This is revolution!

Arch enemy - Under black flags we march

Your hate is our trigger
Revolution now
The more we have to suffer
The more we will fight

With our fists up in the air!

Legions marching ready to fire
These streets will burn - let the black flag rise
Legions marching ready to fire
Empires of corruption - crash and fall

Under black flags we march...

The voice of rebellion calls your name
Servants of the truth are standing tall

With our fists up in the air!

Legions marching ready to fire
These streets will burn - let the black flag rise
Legions marching ready to fire
Empires of corruption - crash and fall

[Harmony lead - Michael & Christopher]

Legions marching ready to fire
These streets will burn - let the black flag rise
Legions marching ready to fire
Empires of corruption - crash and...

Arch enemy - Yesterday is dead and gone

The fire's inside us tonight
These bridges will burn so bright
Tomorrow bears our name
No more power games

[Harmony Lead - Michael & Christopher]

Reaching for the light beyond
We will rise through the dark again
Ready to fight for what we believe to be right
Yesterday is dead and gone

[Pre-Chorus:]
Rattling the chains - shaking the cage
Heed our war cry
Let there be no doubt - we want out
This is reckoning day

[Chorus (melody - Michael):]
We are standing in the flames
Reaching for the sky
Fight to the end
Yesterday is dead and gone

Under a blood red sky
Our voice will be heard in a world

Where compassion is lost
You try to control us
This is so absurd
Freedom will be won at any cost

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Lead - Christopher]

Yesterday is dead and gone

[Lead - Michael]

[Pre-Chorus]

[Outro lead - Christopher]

This is reckoning time
Yesterday is dead and gone

Arch enemy - We will rise

Tear down the walls
Wake up the world
Ignorance is not... Bliss
So fed up with the Second best
Our time, Is here and now

I am the enemy
I am the antidote
Watch me closely
I Will Stand up... NOW!

We Will Rise
Above (x2)

Stereotype fools
Playing the game
Nothing Unique
They all look the same
In this Sea of Mediocrity
I can be anything
Anything I want to be

I am the enemy
I am the antidote
Watch me closely
I will stand up... NOW!

We Will Rise
Above

We Will Rise

We Will Rise

I am the Enemy
(I am the Enemy)
I am the Antidote
(I am the Antidote)

We Will Rise
Above

We Will Rise

We Will Rise
Rise Above

We Will Rise

MXPX Biography

MxPx began in July 1992 with the name Magnified Plaid. Initially, they started playing music inspired by Descendents, Black Flag and other Southern California skate punk bands. The trio—Mike Herrera, Yuri Ruley, and Andy Husted—were classmates at Central Kitsap High School in nearby Silverdale, WA and were 15 years old when they formed. The name was a tribute to the original guitarist's fascination with plaid shirts but did not fit on the band's posters. Consequently, the name was abbreviated to M.P. But in Yuri Ruley's handwriting, periods appeared as "X"'s, and since he made up the show posters for the band, the four-letter moniker stuck.

MxPx caught the attention of Tooth & Nail Records when they played a showcase for the label in 1993 in Herrera's parents' back yard. Mike Herrera had practiced so much before the first show that he lost his voice. Their first major album, Pokinatcha (1994), was released while the band members were still in high school. The album, though classified as Christian punk, incorporated the quick styles of hardcore punk.
Guitarist Andy Husted soon left the band to finish college and was replaced by Tom Wisniewski. MxPx released two further albums with Tooth & Nail: Teenage Politics in 1995, and Life in General in 1996.

MxPx received a major distribution deal with A&M Records. This deal first saw a re-release of Life in General. MxPx then released two more studio albums jointly distributed by Tooth & Nail and A&M: Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo in 1998, and The Ever Passing Moment in 2000. Slowly Going the Way of the Buffalo would be last album to incorporate hardcore punk for some years and with the release of The Ever Passing Moment, the band used frequent pop punk styles. MxPx had fulfilled their contract obligations with Tooth & Nail and decided to part ways. The song "Scooby Doo, Where Are You?" is in the soundtrack of the 2002 movie Scooby-Doo.
Before Everything & After in 2003 was released exclusively by A&M, and marked a radical departure from their old sound.

In 2005 MxPx was dropped by A&M, signed with SideOneDummy Records, and released their seventh full-length album Panic.
In September 2006, MxPx and the City of Bremerton started a marketing effort revolving around the band's song "Move to Bremerton". Bremerton's Community Renewal Agency secured rights for the song to be played in a promotional website for the city, and MxPx played a concert at the downtown Admiral Theatre on September 16, 2006 with local bands The Divorce and Ruxton Towers. The band was also given keys to the city by Mayor Cary Bozeman in recognition of their contributions to Bremerton.
MxPx spent the majority of 2005 and 2006 touring in support of their 7th album Panic. On November 21, 2006, Tooth & Nail Records re-released "Let It Happen", an earlier rarities compilation, in a "Deluxe Edition" which included a bonus DVD featuring 12 music videos, new artwork, and two new songs.
Let's Rock, MxPx's second rarities album, was released on Side One Dummy Records on October 24, 2006. The album consists of many previously unreleased songs, re-recorded b-sides and acoustic demos.

A six-song EP entitled Left Coast Punk EP was released on November 17.A Christmas album, titled Punk Rawk Christmas, was also released on December 1, 2009.
In late 2009, Mike Herrera teamed up with frontman of The Ataris, Kris Roe and the drummer of The Summer Obsession, Chris Wilson (formerly of Good Charlotte) for the MxPx All Stars tour in Japan and South East Asia. The ensemble toured cities like Tokyo, Yokohama, Nagoya, Osaka, Kuala Lumpur and Bandung.
The band released a documentary entitled Both Ends Burning on December 1, 2011. In addition, Mike, Tom, and Yuri were working on their ninth studio album. On December 19, 2011, they announced that the album would be called Plans Within Plans. It was released on April 3, 2012. They headlined the Sunday night in the Arena at the Rebellion Festival in 2012 on the same day as Rancid.

The band's style is mainly skate punk and punk rock.Originally a punk rock band, by the rise of popularity of pop punk in the late 1990s and early 2000s they went more pop punk.Albums like The Ever Passing Moment and Before Everything and After were criticized by fans for its pop punk style. Their album Panic returned to their roots.

MXPX - Punk rawk show

we ain't got no place to go
so let's go to the punk rock show
darling take me by the hand
we're gonna see a punk rawk band
there's no use in tv shows
radio or rodeos
i wanna get into the crowd
i wanna hear it played real loud
ain't got no money to pay
we'll get in anyway doesn't matter i don't care
it fells good so we should share
we're going to the punk rawk show! oooohh!! ooohh!!

MXPX - Far away

It's a struggle just to stay alive
A brute force wind keeps us huddled inside
While the ship is going under
The violence will tear us asunder

And the land is too far away
Land is too far away
Would you please promise me, you'll come back to stay
Before you're too far away

There's a time in every person's life
You think you've got it figured like 3,4,5
But now the city's burning down
To the sea or higher ground

But the sea is too far away
Higher ground's far away
Would you please promise me, you'll come back to stay
Before you're too far away

When the sea rises up to swallow you
The wind so cold it hollows you

A new day will dawn just to keep up the fight
In the end you'll know wether you were right
We were never going down for the count
We were always going all ten rounds

Cause our dreams aren't too far away
Our dreams are not far away
Would you please promise me, you'll come back to stay
You're never too far away

NOFX - Stickin' in my eye

When I look 'round, I only see outta one eye
As the smoke surrounds my head, the sauna
I hear the voices, but I can't make out their words
Saying things, saying things that
I got something sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye
I feel unusual from thinking
About the underground decay, God help me
Kill beneath the camera, watch the world begin to cry
It's not from pity, it comes from
What's been sticking in my eye
Got something sticking in my eye

NOFX - Bob

He spent fifteen years getting loaded
Fifteen years 'till his liver exploded
Now what's Bob gonna do now that he can't drink?
The doctor said, "What you been thinkin' 'bout?"
Bob said, "That's the point,
I won't think about nothing
Now I gotta do something else,"
OI OI OI!
"To pass the time."
Bob shaved his head
He got a new identity
Sixty-two holed air cushioned boots
And a girl who rides a scooter
Gonna take him out, of town
They would get away
Riding around, as the trucks drive by
You could here the mother fuckers go...

A couple of lines, an extra thermos of Joe
He'll be kickin' in heads at the punk rock show, yeah
Bob's the kinda guy who knows just what
Bob's the kinda guy who knows just what to do
When the doctor tells him to
"Quit your drinkin', now's the time."
Will he ever walk the line
To all my friends, I feel just great
But will he ever walk the line
Kickin' ass and bustin' heads
Red suspenders
Once a day he shaves his head
But will he ever walk the line?
Will he ever walk the line?
Will he ever walk the line?
Will he ever walk the line?
Oh will he ever walk the line?
