Honour Revenge


(Guitar INTRO)
(Instrumentals – 30 seconds)
(Piano Solo)
(Drums fill)
(Guitar Bridge)
(Guitar + Keyboard Dual)
(Drums fill to stop)
(Piano + Bass only)

Can you recall the time?
The moment you’ve always feared
Will you relive the time?
Were you right? Or, were you wrong?

(Guitar begins - Bridge)
(Drums begin)

I gave myself, unwillingly!
You stood there and watched me struggle!
They tried harder and faster but I was
Saving my last breath until my last

Six hands surround me!
Sick souls dig into me!

(+TEMPO)
Do you ask yourself
Why didn’t you do anything?
Facing the torture
You ignored my trembling hands
Again!

(REGAIN PRIMARY TEMPO)
(Instrumental Bridge)

Why?!

(Guitar Solo)

(Vocal and Guitar Dual)
My faith shields my wounded soul!
To save my brother and his name!
I take the blame and punishing!
Haunting memories keep aching!

(Guitar Bridge)

(Drums break)
I cry out His name to the sun and moon
Shower me hope or I shall see you soon

(Drums Begin)
(Instrumentals – 8 seconds)

Raising my voice
For the freedom of the ones
We need You!
Now, comes the time
Reunite and stand tall
Please hear us!
No longer shy
With our heads held up high
We’ll reach You!
Give me the strength to
Raise the light
Raise the hand
Raise the voice

(Guitar Bridge)
(Piano Bridge)
(Instrumentals)

(-TEMPO)
Disgraced are the ones who stay quiet
Helplessness reflects the shocking lie
In the world we die today
People believe the lies more than the cries

(Guitar Bridge)

No one believes my scar’s sincerity
And, how I cry His name five times a day
Lying to be true
They smile and they stab my innocence

(Instrumental Bridge)

I’ve had
Enough of this system!
Enough from this life!
Enough of these blames!
Enough is enough!

(REGAIN PRIMARY TEMPO)
I’ll never take the blame for the things that you’ve said
I am innocent, my heart says, my courage stays

(Keyboard Bridge)

I’ll take His name
Five times a day

(Keyboard and Guitar Dual)

(+TEMPO)
Surviving through the toughest times!
There’s blood, there’s mud on my sleeves!
You doubted my future, You doubted me!
Still,
I cried Your name into the air!

(Drum Fill)
(REGAIN PRIMARY TEMPO)
Raising my voice
For the freedom of the ones
Don’t need You!
Now, comes the time
Reunite and stand tall
Please hear us!
No longer shy
With our heads held up high
We’ll reach you!
Give me the strength to
Raise the light
Raise the hand
Raise the voice

(ADLIB FEMALE VOCALS - SPOKEN)
“Honour revenge”!

(Drums Stop)
(Guitar Solo)
(Drums begin)
(Guitar and Keyboard Dual)

(Bass Bridge)
(OVERLAPPING BACKGROUND VOCALS –Distinct feminine screams + Ah! Ah! + “liar!” + “God”)
(Instrumentals – 2 minutes)
(False ending – 4 seconds)
(Instant + Simultaneous instrumental and vocal start)

Raising my voice
For the freedom of the ones
Don’t need You!
Now, comes the time
Reunite and stand tall
Someone hear us!
No longer shy
With our heads held up high
We’ll reach you!
Give me my strength back

I’m raising my voice
For the freedom of the ones

Now, it is time to
Reunite and stand tall

We’re no longer shy
Our heads held up high

In search of our respect

We raise the light
Raise our hands
Raise our voice

(Guitar + Keyboard Dual)
(Instrumentals EXTRO)

(SPOKEN + CROWD AFTER EXTRO)
We raise the light!
Raise our hands!
Raise our voice!

My Forgotten Heroes


(Drum solo - Intro)
(Harmonica solo)

You’ve been through steep mountains
Stepped into dark caves
You’ve forgotten what home’s like
And, cry tears in the rain
You stayed to keep his promises
You give more than you could take
And you never shook
To be the sons-of-the-soil

These paths of destruction
Are means of construction
Of peace and harmony
Seems like an endless quest
With all this pain and suffering
You stayed speechless
And stood forever
To be the sons-of-the-soil

Somebody’s father, somebody’s brother,
somebody’s husband, somebody’s son – (spoken)

You are all feathers of a wing
And, you stay together
No matter what happens
You stay until you wither

(Guitar solo)

You’ve been through deafening silence
With your silent screams
The night becomes so bright
To the angel’s delight
The petals bid a cold goodbye
To the stone in the wall
Still, you stayed forward
My sons-of-the-soil

These scars on your palms
Say a different story
With peace in your arms
You’re on a path to glory

(Clarinet solo)

You’ve always been remembered
Whenever She has shivered
Why are you loved
Only when you are gone
You say, you’ll sacrifice yourself
For your brothers and sisters
Never has a Mother been more proud
Of her sons
The brave and lonely ones – (spoken)

My forgotten heroes
Somebody’s father, somebody’s brother,
somebody’s husband, somebody’s son – (spoken)

(Guitar solo)
(Drum solo – Outro)

Take me Home


(Guitar Solo)

Where am I now?
Someone please tell me
Tell me what just happened
I don’t think I belong here
But, then, why am I here?
My body is cooling so quickly
I need some assistance
Hoping someone can hear me
Waiting for that one and only voice

I’m losing all my strength
And numbness spreads
It makes me faint

Mama! take me home
I cannot sleep with these sounds in my head
Mama! take me home
I cannot sleep with the visions that I dread

(Keyboard solo)

All the hollow promises
That you made when you came home with your pot full of lies
Now I realise, we are the witnesses, we are the victims
Of all the shattering moments
That has the world traumatize
The Men sympathize, the reel dramatize
Why do humans behave so inhuman?
Why is innocence a victim of violence?

Everything that matters may be here
But, what about tomorrow?
The day that no one’s seen
They came from the Gate
To add to my sorrow

(Instrumentals)

I “doublethink” these things in mind
I “dissociate” and relive my life (Adlib – spoken - overlap)

Mama! take me home
I cannot sleep with these sounds in my head
Mama! take me home
I cannot sleep with the visions that I dread

Darkness grows over me
But, I try to rise from my fall
To forgive the hated
And, forget the fatal remedies
To stare at the fear
And, remove the blindfold of hope
To heal my scarred soul

Mama, take me home, put me to sleep
Erase these thoughts enslaved to my mind and
Let me return to innocence (Adlib – extro - spoken)

Hurts the Paradise


[Unclear radio reception: Attention! One more para dies. One more para dies. Attention!...](fades to intro.)

In a cold foggy morning
I get up and take her call
I enter, a stranger to my land
It’s this land I call homeland
And, I’m glad seeing the horizon arise
I hope to feel like home

(I see) The kings of beasts grumble and growl where
Trueness’s uprooted and pride’s been scarred
Crusades for the crest will forever go on
To own their noble crimson crown

There! They stay! waiting for a drop to drip!
There! They stay! waiting for the tide to subside!
There! They stay! waiting for the blood to flood!
There! They stay! waiting for a chance to snatch!

Turning back to where a house was a home
Saline, crystalline drops flow out
Conscience betrayed by fatal desire
Hurts the paradise

My heart melts as my home burns - whisper

In a cold fuggy morning
I wake up and take her call
I exit, a stranger to my land
It’s this land I called homeland
And, I’m sad seeing the horizon sink
I just didn’t feel like home

[Radio: Negative, “no solution possible”, I repeat...one more para dies, I repeat, one more para dies...still counting] (Transition to music)

Mistakes are re-done putting all at stake
As the ice on the fire keeps thawing
One can do nothing, but I say
One, could do one thing

Into her arms we ran to
The only safe space in this unsafe place
Now that she’s gone
There’s no more dawn

(Musical scale changes)

Turning back to where a house was a home
Saline, crystalline drops dry out
Conscience betrayed by fatal desire
Hurts the paradise
