[Intro]

​[Verse] 
Waving quietly in a saddened sky.
Hovering lower as storms passing by.
Amit's the shimmering fields of icy chaos,
Tattering the peoples stars of tearful shame.
Do you  bow down gracefully ?
Or do you live with all the pain? 
Endangering Americas torch of liberty, full of  blame. 


[Verse 2] 
Shots being fired, like the rockets red glair .
Over seeing the insurrection in the sky. 
Under stripes of diabolical diplomatic despair.
Reliving the broken promises of  yester years . 
Forever in the minds of all Americans 
Lost in a world wind of hateful blame.
Avenging words of hatred shouted  in vein.
Gone forever is our country's innocence from shame. 

​[Bridge]

[Chorus]
Beat, Battered and Torn, our
Blood Sweat and Tears.
Trapped inside Our red white and blue. 
Beat, Battered and Torn, our
Blood Sweat and Tears.
Trapped inside of  me and you. 
​
[Verse 3] 
Moments like this come ones in a life time. 
Engaging in the rebirth of our great nation. 
Absorbing the breath of our new fresh air. 
No-one sees it coming out of a conspiracy's shield.
This disbelief  of a flag of truce. 
Own your freedom.. declare your independence. 
You are the only one that can help the change.
Only you can vote to save the day. 
Under the cloak of Americas divided fears. 

[Chorus]
Beat, Battered and Torn, our
Blood Sweat and Tears.
Trapped inside Our red white and blue. 
Beat, Battered and Torn, our
Blood Sweat and Tears.
Trapped inside of  me and you. 

[Solo]

[Chorus]
Beat, Battered and Torn, our
Blood Sweat and Tears.
Trapped inside Our red white and blue. 
Beat, Battered and Torn, our
Blood Sweat and Tears.
Trapped inside of  me and you. 

[Fade Outro]

 [Verse]
Catastrophic events are all around us.
An economic earthquake shaking the world.
Nuclear winter is brewing on a fault line.
The devasting cracks of truths impure.
Holding on to  signs of depression.
Engulfing our societies to smear.

[Hook]
we all need to secure our future. 
intertwining it from all its pain.
 
cuz....

[Chorus]
they got us were they want to.
puppeteering our lives their own way.
they got us were they want to.
Spending the world to their flame.

[Verse 2]
We all need to see all  our sadness.
Overlooking the hatred they instill in rage.
Relining all our goals together.
Lowering the guns of  this war.
Do we all need to be doing this.
Sacrificing the world for petty gains.

[Hook]
we all need to secure our future. 
intertwining it from all its pain.

[Solo]

[Verse 3]
Under  illusions of world Leaders .
Reducing all our societies to blame.
Venturing out onto their conquests .
Indefinitely sending us to the grave.
Vast loss and sorrow felt around the world  .
Ending all of us to shame.

[Chorus]
they got us were they want to.
puppeteering our lives their own way.
they got us were they want to.
Spending the world to their flame.

[Chorus]
they got us were they want to.
puppeteering our lives their own way.
they got us were they want to.
Spending the world to their flame.

[End]​

[Verse]
We all need to listen to reason.
Hear the drums of a new  fronter. 
Anticipate  the whispers of Forever.
Tighten our grip on our  nightmares.
Soon there will be a storm of sorrow .
Washing up from distant foreign shores..
Remembering there is always  tomorrow.
Opening the doors for even more.

​[Chorus]
We The People.
living in the land of the free.
We The People.
 protecting the home of the brave.

[Verse2]
Never forget where we come from.
Grounded in promises of truth.
Watching all this disagreement .
Incinerates our chances to improve.
That's what all its all come down to. 
Having faith in what all we do.
A single prayer for the weary.
Maintaining our hold of our roots.

​[Chorus]
We The People.
living in the land of the free.
We The People.
 protecting the home of the brave.

[Bridge]
Everybody come come closer together.
Ridding ourselves of the masks.
Insuring our future is protected.
Changing how we all view the past.
​America.

[Chorus]
We The People.
living in the land of the free.
We The People.
 protecting the home of the brave.
​
[Solo]

 move  the curtain back.
 and look into the mirror. 
and who are you staring at ? …
who is remaining by your side? …
will they be there tomorrow?
or will they just pass you by?

The Mirrors magic has another side.
and it starts with your smile.

if I  wouldn't have,
 said that I Loved you. 
I wouldn't have,
 Heard the other side of your sigh.

[Verse 2]
if I wouldn't have, 
touched your hand just right.
I wouldn't have.
 even became the man I am inside.. 

[Chorus]
if I wouldn't have  
met you on time.
I wouldn't have 
a breath to call mine.

 if I wouldn't have.  gave you that kiss .
I wouldn't have fell deeper 
​in this pool of life. 

[Verse 3]
if I  wouldn't have seen you pass me with those eyes. 
I wouldn't have seen the other side of your light.
if I wouldn't have smelled your sweetness
I wouldn't have tasted all your delight.
