Hey mister man
What brings you ‘round
We’re new in town
Ever ask yourself what might have been
If you could live your life again
Would you change a part of you
Or choose a lifetime completely new
Look around and see what we do
We guarantee that it’s right for you
The pieces of your world
Will no longer be yours
So step right through
It’s right here waiting
Take your new life
Yeah you won’t believe your eyes
When you’re caught between a crossfire
Just another day you save the world
Feel the power in you
Would you change a part of you
Or live a lifetime completely new
We’re only here for a day or two
So hurry through there’s a life for you
When your chance comes around
For another life to choose
Would you have enough reasons
To walk through too

Roads Below

|

It’s our secret world
Bursting with desire
We’re on the run tonight
On darkened streets
And through the dregs of town
We’re gone again
Painted in disguise again
You and I will rule the night
I defend the passion in our silence
Hand to hand on streets of violence
And we descend to shelter from the cold
On roads below, our roads below
I believe in you
Under skies of neon light
And you believe in me
Watching spies pursue our lives
Down down deeper we move tonight
Fractured walls will lead us home
Silhouettes search with burning eyes
For you and I
Painted in disguise again
You and I will rule the night

The Getaway
04:26

She couldn’t wait to go again
She couldn’t wait to see the sun
A year and a day has gone
Curious and so sweet, but I can tell
She had already planned to run
She took a walk down the avenue
She took a ride in a big canoe
Gone on a getaway
She would draw you in with her love
Then turn and walk away, she was gone
The getaway
She's looking for the light again
Playing the game until she’s won
She made me a believer and I turned my back only once
Now I know that I’m crazy after all
She took a run in the pouring rain
She took a right from the left lane
She was gone on a getaway
She would draw you in with her love
Turning around to go, she was gone
The getaway
If I could see, see you again
I’d say the things I meant to
But you had a say and hurried away
The memories are all that’s left of you
She didn’t wait to go again
She is a girl who’s on the run
She hitched a ride on the interstate
We all got the message she’d be late
She was gone on a getaway
She would draw you in with her love
Turning around she'd go, she was gone
The getaway

Virtual Fall
05:18
|

|
Sometimes nothing’s ever sacred and I
Wonder, I wonder
Sometimes nothing’s ever simple as I
Wander, I wander
In a blink of the infinite eye
Eleven thousand days go by
Time
We used to be young
We used to be younger
But don’t let your new life bring you down
In a virtual fall
Somehow the destination is unknown
And we find it anyway, anyway
Somehow we seem to make it on our own
Or we feel that anyway, anyway
And it may feel like you can’t get away
Holding on to what you believe
But today is all we have
Feel it come to life this time
And set fire to the flame
We used to be young

Home Again
08:51
|
|||
|
I will open my eyes to another sunrise
Uncertain of how many more
Reflect in our own mind
From where we have come to where we are
Today is like so many before
Wash it all away
Like muddy water down the drain
Clear my conscience again
Surrender, the end of every road
Every memory, every memory
Take me quietly, home again
Darkened night
I am ready to reconcile all I’ve done tonight
Denial is spreading
And time can break the heart
Let me wash it all away
Right down the drain
And the sun will rise another day
To clear your conscience
Whispers from a distant star
And they tell me that it’s true
They say that forever is in a dream
And in thoughts that speak to you
Inspiration calls to me
To discard the old for new
Wash it away
Like water down a deep drain
Clear my conscience again
And set me free
Surrender, every memory
The end of every road, the end of every road
We return home, home again
We are given the choice to live
Or do nothing at all
We can dream or drown in fear
Or take time from today
And together find a way
To forge a new reality
With the power to transcend
Once we let go of fear
We will know we’re home again
Home again
Fear passes by me through precious time
Fear passes by me
Surrender, surrender

The Last Goodbye
06:23
|
|||
|
Tell me something that you can’t explain
Tell me something that reason defies
Tell me anything that I don’t know of you today
Do you have another story for me
Something buried in your deep dark heart
I don’t care if the truth is hidden in lies, it’s a start
With the last goodbye
You will finish a story that we can believe in
With the last goodbye
You will finish a life that stole our hearts
You know when you’ve loved someone
Only memories keep them alive
A tale we find before the last goodbye
Turning over every flat side stone
Walking every city street you roam
Any tale I could never buy I’ll steal or borrow
Finding nothing in a stranger’s kiss
Nor the promise of a cold night’s fire
I only wish for a few more words today for us tomorrow
With the last goodbye
You will finish a story we can believe in
With the last goodbye
You will finish a story that stole our hearts
You know when you’ve loved someone
Only memories keep them alive
A tale we find before the last goodbye
Goodbye

Moment in Time
04:13
|
|||
|
You lived a life that seems like someone else
Born to be modernized
Escaping like a lunatic in the dark
You thought you’d never see new light again
You said you were the king of sorrow, isn’t it easier
In a moment like this, constant lies, tell me it’s easier
Until you lost the pain you borrowed
You made the choice, in a moment like this
A moment in time
Activated, those words you hated
You were not the way that you are
Trained to forget this life, trained to kill wrong or right
How did you escape the game that night
Isn’t it easier
You said you were the king of sorrow, tell me it’s easier
In a moment like this, to walk away, constant lies
Isn’t it easier, until you lost the pain you borrowed
You made the choice, in a moment like this
To walk away
You never want to feel the pain of constant lies
Constant lies
You took a chance and threw away your old disguise
A moment in time

Still Believe
05:15
|
|||
|
Part of me is open wide
Looking down into myself
Then I stare into your eyes
We may never be the same
And it makes me wonder
What pulled us from the light
Yeah it makes me wonder
Is it worth another fight
But I stare a little harder
I can still see the fragile you
If you look a little longer
Can you see me too
Believe
And the fire starts to burn
Melting where we’ve been
And you and I can learn
To be in love again
Sometimes it’s hard to swallow
The things we used to share
The words we knew were hollow
But our anger left them there
Left them there
But we hear the thunder
And the storm is passing through
Just wait a little longer
And you will see me too
Still believe
You and I, we can save the night
If you still believe
You and I we can learn to love again
If you still believe
But we hear the thunder
And the storm is passing through
If you look a little longer
Still believe

Here and Alive
04:22
|
|||
|
I recall the life I’ve seen
But I don’t love what lies between
Do I pretend there’s a better one
I take a good look at all the things I’ve done
A man asked me what I had become
He said would you like another run
Tried to fool me by design
But I stand by the words I’ve always lived by
Don’t worry ‘bout the things you haven’t done
Live naturally, whatever comes to be
Embrace the gift you give to this world
While we’re here and alive
These tough times can break you down
Rise tomorrow and overcome
Forget clichés and live your way
Take your time and try another day
It’s easy to come undone
Those moments pass and then they’re gone
We learn anger by design
But I stand by the words we all can live by
I sit by the water
And try to calculate why we’re here
An exercise in futility
In this time and space, just be
Don’t worry ‘bout the things you haven’t done
Live naturally, whatever comes to be
Embrace the gift you give to this world
While you’re here and alive
Don’t worry while you’re here and alive
Don’t worry, our time is here and gone so fast
So don’t worry while we’re here and alive

Last Watch of the Nightingale
by Odd Logic
supported by 34 fans who also own “New Lives for Rent”
They did it again! Yet another solid record from Odd Logic. The music goes along very well with the moods and theme of the album. The instrumental sections here might be the best out of all their albums. There's a lot more to say but let's keep it short and try it yourself! Recommend for any prog rock and metal fans.

Penny For Your Thoughts
by Odd Logic
supported by 22 fans who also own “New Lives for Rent”
J'avais un peu négligé ce groupe dans ma collection. Pas toujours facile d'approche. Comment dire ? Les morceaux procèdent essentiellement par ruptures - souvent brutales. A la première écoute, vous êtes désarçonné parce que les titres ressemblent à une suite d'amorces - toutes plus extraordinaires les unes que les autres cela dit - et votre cerveau, qui s'attend à la reprise tôt ou tard d'un motif déjà perçu est complètement paumé... Une fois qu'on sait, tout va mieux...

The Long Island metal band's third album etches arena-sized hooks into their jagged compositions, deftly balancing experimental and poppy inclinations.

Norchestrion: a song for the end
by Need
supported by 20 fans who also own “New Lives for Rent”
An impressive work of progressive metal, seems initially to be taken out of the best moments of the genre’s behemoths (Fates Warning, Dream Theater). However, with enough distinction and personality, featuring Greek folk elements here and there, the musicianship mastery of the band members make tracks like Nemmortal, Norchestrion and Circadian, bright jewels for the genre and for metal in general. A must have album!!!
