Crowning Glory 04:13
lyrics
buy track
The sun bleeds red in a fading sky I watch it sink as my work burns dry Painted now on a thousand tiers The history of a thousand years The eye of Horus is gazing down On the final piece, a golden crown To cap the spire point high To the stars gleaming in the sky Now, my work is done The world will know That I was here My crowning glory Will tell my story Year after year I have been blessed by the gods my fathers Given a vision a task and dream Since I was born, ruling with such power I know that I‘ll live eternally. So here I’ve made a new mountain rise up Reaching the gods in the heavens high The pure golden crown of my great achievement Destined to stand to the end of time Now, my work is done The world will know That I was here My crowning glory Will tell my story Year after year Bright golden point meant to crown a tomb Missing for over five thousand years Stole and melted it was assumed I tracked you down and at last you're here Look at the shine, after years of hunting Searching for clues, now I've proved I'm right Bring in the cameras and lift it slowly My name will circle the globe this night Now, my work is done The world will know That I was here My crowning glory Will tell my story Year after year Now, my work is done The world will know That I was here My crowning glory Will tell my story Year after year Year after year Year after year Year after year...

Run 02:48

RUN Get up! You run to beat the day Get up! Gonna run your life away Living in traffic Jammed from end to end Don’t stop! The metro pulls away Don’t stop! Roadblocks leading you astray Running for the meter – it's too late Tickets under every wiper Tell me, why do you wait? RUN! Catch the train or Catch some hell, Late again RUN! Don’t stop now Don’t ask why Don’t ask how Get up! Running every day Get up! And the brass ring slips away You’re going in circles You’ve missed the right of way Don't stop! Your bills are coming due Don't stop! And you haven't got a clue Heels on fire, eyes are too Your lonely smile has come undone Exhaustion takes its due RUN! Catch the train or Catch some hell, Late again RUN! Don’t stop now Don’t look back, Don’t ask how [SOLO] Sometimes you wonder if the prize is really worth it Sometimes you wonder what you'd see If you slowed down Sometimes you wonder why it is you have to... RUN! Catch the train or Catch some hell, Late again RUN! Don’t stop now Don’t ask why Don’t ask how RUN! Catch the train or Catch some hell, Late again RUN! Don’t stop now Don’t ask why Don’t ask how

Rat Race Get up Gotta run to beat the day Get up Gonna run your life away Gotta beat the traffic But the traffics jammed again Don’t stop Race to catch a cab Don’t stop See the metro pull away Go to feed the meter- it’s too late There’s a smiling cop and a piece of paper Blast it! Why did I wait? Seems like I’m always running Trying hard to catch that brass ring Time crunches are my only exercise I always move too slow Although I feel exhausted I run as fast as I can but I Miss the boat and miss my chance A day late and a dollar short on this hamster wheel of life Run Catch the train or Catch some hell, Late again Run Don’t stop now Don’t look back, Don’t ask how Seems like I’m always running Trying hard to catch that brass ring Time crunches are my only exercise I always move too slow Although I feel exhausted I run as fast as I can but I Miss the boat and miss my chance A day late and a dollar short on this hamster wheel, In this big rat race of life Sometimes I wonder if the cheese is really worth it Sometimes I wonder what I’ll see If I slow down Sometimes I wonder where it is I think I’m going Oh shit! I’m late! I better just look at the ground and go and RUN Catch the train or Catch some hell, Late again Run Don’t stop now Don’t look back, Don’t ask how Run Times flying Run Boss waiting Run I’m crying Run Hopes fading Run Times flying Run Boss waiting Run I’m crying Run Hopes fading In this big rat race of life

Poison, or, All of Hamlet in 4:04 04:08
lyrics

Prologue Poison is the coward’s tool The way of envy and deceit Poison in a serpents bite Poison, sinking into meat Poison words that twist a heart Dropping in a sleepers ear Madness that can drown a soul Something is rotten here, it’s Poison….poison…poison King- Now come join hands and part as friends And drive all enmity away; And with good will, to start the match Again as brothers, come to play Hamlet-I beg forgiveness for the past By my hand I wish not to offend; My acts ‘gainst you were madness born Forgive them pray and be my friend Laertes- I accept and take thy hand And with my other choose my blade The one the king has well prepared- King- By just a scratch my plans are made! Hamlet - Feint and parry, Laertes - thrust and bind Hamlet - Advance, retreat- I have thee friend Hamlet - A touch! Laertes - I do confess, a touch Laertes -One touch is not the end King- The king drinks to Hamlet! Thy touch has won this round and praise The king drinks to Hamlet! Let all they skill applaud! And in this cup I drop a pearl A gem whose worth is great indeed Come, take the cup and drink, my boy Page, give it to him with all speed Queen- You look so warm my son! They brow is covered o’er With sheen of athletes perspiration Come let me wipe it with This cloth and hold in hand Thy cup of winners Celebration The Queen drinks to Hamlet! For prowess with his blade this day! The queen drinks to Hamlet! Let trumpets sound the news! King -Gertrude, don’t drink! Queen- Ah but I must, I must I say; My lord and king, forgive me pray King - Too late! My plans un-made! Epilogue Queen Poison is the coward’s tool The way of envy and deceit Hamlet Poison on a metal blade Poison, quiet and discrete King Poison pearl within a cup Killed a queen, a prince, a peer All The poisoner as well has died Something is rotten here, it’s Poison….poison
