Oh the night that Patty Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget Some of the boys got loaded drunk, and they ain't got sober yet; As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play That's how they showed their respect for Patty Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sinner's shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died As Mrs. Murphy sat in the corner pouring out her grief Kelly and his gang came tearing down the street They went into an empty room and a bottle of whiskey stole They put the bottle with the corpse to keep that whiskey cold That's how they showed their respect for Patty Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sinner's shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died About two o'clock in the morning after emptying the jug Doyle rolls up the ice box lid to see poor Patty's mug We stopped the clock so Mrs. Murphy couldn't tell the time And at a quarter after two we argued it was nine That's how they showed their respect for Patty Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sinner's shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died They stopped the hearse on George Street outside Sundance Saloon They all went in at half past eight and staggered out at noon They went up to the graveyard, so holy and sublime Found out when they got there, they'd left the corpse behind! That's how they showed their respect for Patty Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sinner's shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died Oh the night that Patty Murphy died, is a night I'll never forget Some of the boys got loaded drunk and they ain't been sober yet; As long as a bottle was passed around every man was feelin' gay O'Leary came with the bagpipes, some music for to play That's how they showed their respect for Patty Murphy That's how they showed their honour and their pride; They said it was a sinner's shame and they winked at one another And every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died Well every drink in the place was full the night Pat Murphy died!

Take control, take control I see a vision rising, dreary Fading in as children play twilight games In the town called Ordinary An eye of light reveals a gateway to doomsday In that projection of reality Something passes through the stars, shifting walls Enter agents of ill fantasy For evil holds you in its arms, false alarms Illusory, treading on reality Polaris in a web of hypocrisy Take control Take control Oh, can't you see, see the light is fading? And in the night the demons rage and call your name No deeper madness than your own making Visions lashing blades of shame, but will you take the blame? Hissing noises in the hallway Bloodshot eyes, staring through, what seeds are sown? Who'll survive the blood red power play? Who'll take control, whose name will be known? Illusory, reality's all fallacy Polaris in a web of hypocrisy Take control Take control I wish I'd had the wherewithal To find you when I had the chance Instead I danced with death in fervour's skin I missed the moment before the fall To recognise I had a voice A choice to stop it all from happening If only I could save you from the pain A rising sense of awe and wonder A might I see has always been deep within me I can feel my inborn power I call the shots when it's all finally clear to see And so I'm drawn ever deeper In the Oldest House and all these empty rooms This vacant, spellbound mystery motel Where I'm the keeper, where I set the rules Potency is my new reality Polaris living now inside of me I control I control I control

From what I've gathered you grew up nice and sheltered With mama's pretty stories and your own made up furies And mama gave me a magic clicker Well yes, I think it's true and fair to say C'mon in and listen, lost words you've been missing Of the fire you're bearing the eye of the darkness, your light So you were drawn to stories early on? My dreams would light up my imagination And you had nightmares night and day? Yeah, but with the clicker I chased those frights away Who knew? So true So hеre is a clue of hope to rеmember Visions, they come true obeying the light switch too Show me the Champion of Light I'll show you the Herald of Darkness Lost in a never-ending night Diving deep to the surface And all your stories of crime and chilling thrillers Of hardboiled killers became best-sellers (And the award goes to Alan Wake) It was all too much I had to get away The story's the end-all a piece of true fiction Made meaningless in the face of creation But there is more to it than meets the eye I never meant for it to ruin my life that way Would you say you lived a jaded lie? Dark shades could never save the day So sad But true Fighting the nightmares, torch and a light switch A gift or a curse, a reality made of dreams Show me the Champion of Light I'll show you the Herald of Darkness Lost in a never-ending night Diving deep to the surface He could write a new story like Tom Zane before him And maybe they'd be happy once again Just one shot, one more chance for him to save their marriage Away from the city a romantic getaway Still he's the torch bearer and it couldn't be much clearer A war needs its warrior, true and right But the darkness within him held her hostage Had he seen her drowning, would have saved her from the darkness of the lake Show me the Champion of Light I'll show you the Herald of Darkness Lost in a never-ending night Diving deep to the surface Such a Dark Place? Am I trapped in here? Is this real? I cannot remember There was a manuscript it held a key A vicious cycle I must not surrender to Echo scenes to seek out Again and again Until I figure it out To bring this song to its end Show me the Champion of Light I'll show you the Herald of Darkness Lost in a never-ending night Diving deep to the surface

Darkness flees the rising sun The village lies ahead It will wake to a new day soon Soon they all be dead We came in cover of moonless night Fifty men at arms Now at first morning light The church bell sounds the alarm Sacrifice to Gods of old Bleed them of their lives Fresh blood on our swords Gods of War arise Sacrifice to Gods of old Bleed them of their lives Fresh blood on our swords Gods of War arise Hear the tortured screams Shattering the air They awake from soothing dreams Into their worst nightmare Fire sweeps their homes They feel the dragon's breath Consuming and destructive flames Agonizing death Some seek shelter in the church A refuge for those with faith But we know how to smoke them out A pyre will be raised But those who choose to stand and fight Will die with dignity For the unfortunate few who survive Waits a life in slavery The day draws to an end The night comes dark and cold We return to our ships With silver, slaves and gold We gave them agony As they fell and die The Gods have granted victory For our sacrifice The day draws to an end The night comes dark and cold We return to our ships With silver, slaves and gold We gave them agony As they fell and die The Gods have granted victory For our sacrifice
