My mind’s like a battlefield,
The pressure’s holding on,
The scar that’ll never heal,
Reminds me where I'm from.

Fight back all my demons,
The devil ain't got nothin on me,
I don't need no permission,
I just take everything I need.

Standing at the top of my empire,
I'm at the top of my game,
I'm at the top of my empire,
I will no be tamed.

At the top of my empire,
Oh yeah,
At the top of my empire,
Yeah,
Say, say, yeah,
At the top of my empire,
At the top of my empire,
Oh yeah,
I'm at the top of my game,
At the top of my empire,
At the top of my game.

Tell that lonely teacher,
Don't give up the fight,
Tell that lonely preacher,
Everyone unite,
Tell that lonely teacher, he’s a friend of mine,
From the darkness into the shining light.

Been on this road so long, were gonna find a way,
Oh forgotten all my songs, we'll help you sing all day,
Been on this lonely road, don't you let me down,
Shine a light in the place that is my home.

We're gonna ride, ride, ride, until the sun goes down,
And you can hide, hide, hide, until they call you home,
Or you can shine, shine, shine, until the sun goes down,
Till the Lord or the Devil calls you home.

If you call on me,
I ain't gonna let you down,
If you call on me, you know you're not alone,
But tell that two-timin’ loser, he ain't no friend of mine,
I ain't blind to the truth from now on.

Well I look up,
I look up and I look down, I look down,
And everywhere, everywhere there’s greed around, greed around,
you're making it up, make it upit’s dragging me down, drag me down,
Do you want lies or the truth from now on?

We're gonna ride, ride, ride, until the sun goes down,
And you can hide, hide, hide, until they call you home,
Or you can shine, shine, shine, until the sun goes down,
Till the Lord or the Devil calls you home.

I'll keep on playing, playing, playing, playing, playing till the sun goes down,
I'll keep on playing, playing, playing, playing, playing till they call me home,
I'll keep on playing, playing, playing, playing, playing till the sun goes down,
Till the lord or the devil takes me home,
I try to find a way till the lord or the devil takes me home,
Oh till the lord or the devil takes me home.

You keep on trying but you just can't win,
The lock is turning but you can't get in,
That monkey's scratching he's lost control,
Your light is shining and you can't take hold.

Darkness is out there not long for the dawn,
We stand together and we all shine on.

Don't you hide your light, everybody shine on, shine on,
Don't you hide your light, baby shine on, shine on.

You ain't got nothing but you keep on living,
You got no money but you keep on giving.

Demons knocking and you don't latch on,
We stand together and we all shine on.

Don't you hide your light, baby shine on, shine on,
Don't you hide your light, baby shine on,
Shine on, Shine on, Shine on.

We stand together and we all shine on.

Don't you hide your light, baby shine on, shine on,
Don't you hide your light, baby shine on,
Shine on, Shine on, Shine on.

I hear the coming storm,
Wait for the rain to wash us clean and for the sun to keep us warm.

I know that I've done wrong,
I've done my best and repossessed,
And I will rest where I belong.

I've lived a hard life and I've seen a lot,
I've lied and cheated I lost the plot,
Too many tantrums I was so mean,
I'm getting ready,
I'm getting ready, I'm getting ready,
I'm gettin' ready it's time to have peace,
I'm getting ready.

I'm getting ready, I'll be restored,
I'm getting ready for my reward,
I am so ready, I just can't wait,
Hope you are ready, just don't be late.

I can release my soul,
I have made peaceset for my flight up to the light,
No more control, I'm getting ready.

Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
Got to dance til the morning light,
Old midnight come a teasing,
And we always been tight,
She make time stand still,
Drinking whiskey,
Like the fool on the hill,
Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
I’m leaving -
Goodnight.

Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
Put that laughter on my tab,
Bartender, please remember,
The good times that we had,
Oh there’s a rhythm in the air,
Full of wisdom,
And a little devil may care,
Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
I’m leaving -
Goodnight.

Well there’s a rhythm in the air,
Full of wisdom,
And a little devil may care,
Goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
Yeah goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
Mmm goodnight y’all - I’m leaving,
I’m leaving -
Goodnight.

DEAD OPERA STAR
I hope you'll forgive, I leave you tonight
I made my time, I'm saying goodbye
The show must go on, I feel so tired
I know it's a shame, but you will survive

I give my last breath, flee from the light
I must confess I had a good time
I'm hoping my songs will never die
Hoping they stay, a breeze in the night
Oh no,
A dead opera star
Oh no,
A dead opera star
