Unstoppable
Verse 1:
We come from all the lands to rally once again
Connected by all the dots of droughts, melting and rain
We poured into the streets, a flooding of hopeful beats
Four hundred thousand strong, the swell of a rising sea
Chorus:
Together we march in the streets of New York
Mosaic of hope in the streets of New York
An echo of fears, from years of falling on deaf ears
The momentum won't stop, and they know
Verse 2:
We are unstoppable, another world is possible
And we’ll turn it around, from the mountain to the shore
The ocean's acidic, rising and getting sick
Hear our voices and those of a billion more
[Chorus]
Bridge:
We are unstoppable, another world is possible [X 8]
Final Chorus:
Together we march in the streets of New York
Mosaic of hope in the streets of New York
An echo of fears, from years of falling on deaf ears
The momentum won't stop...
Together we march in the streets of New York
Mosaic of hope in the streets of New York
An echo of fears, from years of falling on deaf ears
The momentum won't stop, and they know...
Paris Takes the Stage
Verse 1:
We sip on beer from Belgium
counting all the ways that we
Live a life of plenty
borrowed from an ancient sea
Counting all the footprints
Leading up to what will be
No time for second guessing
Reinvent prosperity
Chorus [2X]:
Paris Takes the Stage Again
It's not a show my friends
A pathway or the end
Verse 2:
One hundred thirty seven
years ago we gathered here
Scientific wonder
Movement from thin air
Window to a future
Lost to a familiar fate
The sun still shines upon us
It's not too late...
[Chorus]
Bridge:
When the lines and lines on paper,
Guide the titans to lay bare
Options for redemption
Salvation may be in there
[Guitar Solo]
The first generation
To feel the records breaking
The last generation
To make history
[Chorus]
Twilight of Paris
Verse 1:
It's been a long time
Since we moved this way
Stepping together
But it doesn't feel the same
It's getting hotter
I know you feel it too
Years of waiting
While we're burning through
Please, don't stand
With your back against the wall
Feel, the need, to dance
Chorus:
Dancing in the twilight of Paris,
We move and step as one,
Dancing in the twilight of Paris,
The spin is still to come.
Don't sleep now, baby
We can't sleep now, honey
Dancing in the twilight of... Paris
Verse 2:
The sky is full of dust
It's raining down on us
To melt away relief
Of summer's scorching heat
We'll spin from heel to toe
Stand firm and then exhale
Our dance will lead us to
Live a heroic tale
Please, don't stand
With your back against the wall
Feel, the need, to dance
[Chorus]
Verse 3:If we don't step up
The price to pay is high
Words just aren't enough
To quell the rising tide
And the starry eyes
At twilight fill the space
With hope, we cannot fail
Our youth will damn this place
Bridge:
King tides rule the changing land,
Footprints morph away soft sand
The stage is set to make your move
Own the spotlight, own the groove
[Chorus]
Interlude 1
We talk about the shining stars
Their weddings, break-ups, fancy cars
Distracted from reality
We carried on and rest easy
We are carried, carried away
From our lives we're carried, carried away
We are carried, carried away
From our lives we're carried, carried away
Apocalypse Sky (single)
Verse 1:
I could not see the emerald peaks this morning
As I crest the hill, ride to the sea
Do I live my life, or heed the warning?
How do I live my life? How do I breathe?
How do I breathe?
Chorus:
Apocalypse Sky
Painted by fire
Drawing us together in a world that's come undone.
Pink horses run
Verse 2:
She posts a plea, he shares a victory
Seems every moment we rise and fall
How do I disconnect? How can I turn away?
My heart strings sing and echo the call
Echo the call
[Chorus]
[Bridge - instrumental]
Verse 3:
Big iceburg drifting so far away
Yet on my home shore it overtakes
How inconvenient, the streets are flooding
Be inconvenient, show me the way
Show me the way
[Chorus X2]
Trouble (single)
Verse 1:
Couldn't find a time to tell you
Travelled back to 1965
When the air was thin
Cold pillars from the deep haunt me
And scream, it's all your fault
No clues could move you
Damned if I try anyway
Chorus:
I'm sorry I came back
I'm sorry I told you
All the things I know
But you've got trouble
Rising in your wake
Verse 2:
Couldn't find a time to tell you
Travelled back to 1985
Thought you'd know by now
Oh but you didn't
Titans had too much to lose
So they seeded doubt, red taped my mouth
Like they did before
Now I'm keeping score
[Chorus]
Bridge:
But your carnival is crushed
By the waves of your denial
And I'm crying in the clouds that grow heavy
While you smile
Knowledge at your fingertips
Fake news and Twitter quips
Of all the prophecies your time believes, it's painful
That you don't trust me
[Chorus X2]
Titans
Verse 1:
I've seen, the world go by and shift its weight with a howl and sigh.
Costly change was made, in the name of a stable way
Meat costs the wage of a day, droughts recessed and the seas at bay
Black golden age is gone, we're finding our way and moving on.
Pre-Chorus:
Titans, moving mountains (oh honey)
Titans, moving mountains
Chorus:
Tell me about a time when the light will shine, when the light will shine
Tell me about a time when the light will shine, when the light will shine
Deep pockets, guide the fate of a blue dot with hot, hot days
Tell me about a time... when the light will shine
Verse 2:
My brother's seen the world shift its weight with a scowl and cry
A living made, and lost, on the way down a long pipeline
He's not the only one: doctors, and teachers, and our children
All felt the slow decay, seeking now another way
[Pre-chorus, Chorus]
Bridge:
When, when you want to change, there ain't no one way to do it
And when the lost migrate, the titans won't help them through it
Disparity in spades, many will lose, some will gain
Where, where the dollar stays, bread will break but hope still wanes
Once upon a time all across the land
The people rose up and they clapped their hands
They looked to the sky and said, who's gonna make sure that we're fed?
Cause it's dark, and it's stormy, and the rains about to fall
After drought, there's no money
And our backs are at the wall, oh no
Verse 3:
Big oil, and Monsanto snap chat plans as they go
Big stakes and lines in the sand, people forced their greedy hands
New guard, with power still, have foresight and an ethical will
With titanic drive, to end decline, keep trade alive
[Pre-chorus, Chorus X2]
Techno Junky
Verse 1:
Pocket power in the info age
Moved masses with survival rage
A meme on kittens, thirsty in L.A.
Might have been what saved the day
Round and round the story goes
If we make it we'll be heroes
Change the defaults change the rules
With no foresight we are fools
Chorus:
Techno junky with a bluetooth brain
Got washed out by the hot, hot rain
We got dirty, dirty, dirtier still
In real life we can have free will.
Verse 2:
Only take what we need
Grow biodiversity
Rediscover prosperity
Butterflies and human lives in harmony
Round and round the turbine turns
By the wind not by what burns
A boulevard of food and fun
Electrons supplied by the sun
[CHORUS X2]
Bridge:
Bright beacons where we open up
Laughter where we play
People fed with trust and love
Will see a brighter day
A circular economy
Where we care, where we stand
Engineering opportunity
But eco-bio-nano pills won't SOS
Oh no, no they won't SOS
Oh no, no they won't SOS
Oh no, no they won't
[CHOURS x3]
Interlude 2
A land so full of hands and feet
Not moving for the length of street
Alone we site infront of screens
And waste away our time to breathe
We are carried, carried away
From screen to screen to screen we're carried
Carried away
Wisdom of the ancient ones
Gives hope of possible return
To life in blanace with the land
If we take pause and time to learn
These Eyes
Verse 1:
Unravelling
A tapestry
By Adam's hand
In disbelief
We could not plant
In shifting sand
Passing through
Titan's hands
Chorus:
I saw it all crumble with these eyes
I reawakened to a different life
I saw it all crumble with these eyes
In the end we will realize
Verse 2:
Mouths to feed
Too many
Deltas dry
God's angry
Promises
Security
With control
Tyranny
[Chorus]
Bridge:
There's no water, there's no rye
We saw it coming the risk was high
At least we'll have some place to go
Unlike many we'll have a home
Verse 3:
Technology
Another leash
I tried to hold
A rush of gold
The last tree
Burning peat
A lifeless sea
Bankruptcy
[Chorus X2]
Carried Away
Verse 1:
A dollar here, a dollar there
What would you give for a world that's fair
A few cents more is all it takes
To save the treasure that's at stake
Chorus 1:
We can carry, carry our way
By our dollar we'll carry, carry our way
We can carry, carry our way
By our dollar we'll carry, carry our way
Verse 2:
Black day shoppers scream for more
Abundance has no ceiling for
Those lost to false entitlement
It's killing us it's killing them
Chorus 2:
We are carried, carried away
Seeking more we're carried, carried away
We are carried, carried away
Seeking more we're carried, carried away
Verse 3:
A loved one's urn sits upon the sil
It's full of emptiness all filled
With petrol corn and trite cheap thrills
So typical of common ills
Bridge:
Like any other grand foray
Time passes, comes another day
Whoa
It doesn't seem so far away,
Life beyond this caberet
Chorus 3:
We can carry, carry our way
With hope and love we'll carry,carry our way
We can carry, carry our way
With hope and love we'll carry,carry our way
Chorus 4:
We can carry, carry our wayWith hope and love we'll carry,carry our way
We can carry, carry our way
With hope and love we'll carry,carry our way
We can carry, carry our way
Against all odds we'll carry, carry our way
We can carry, carry our way
Against all odds we'll carry, carry our way
We can carry, carry our way
Against all odds we'll carry our way
