Down By Law


Denim & Leather:

With a roar and a smile and a right-left-right
From the towns and the fields every day and night
When the times get tough in the highs and lows
We stood through the fights and the nights and shows
In denim and leather
Through the storms and weather
We're scarred for life together
Through the years and the tears and the ups and downs
It's a way of life, there's no way out
Too late to escape or walk away
The spirit's in us til our dying day
Get away, get away
In the fray, in thе fray
This is our last brigade
It's the sound of our lives (Sound of our livеs)
The sound of our lives (Sound of our lives)
The sound of our lives (Sound of our lives)
Our truth is inside
In the ring, we swing with a right-left-right
To all the punks and the rude boys, burning bright
Metal, hardcore, that's our sound
We stood for the music, we stood our ground
Get away, get away
In the fray, in the fray
This is the last brigade
It's the sound of our lives (Sound of our lives)
The sound of our lives (Sound of our lives)
The sound of our lives (Sound of our lives)
The truth is inside
Through the years and the tears and the ups and downs
It's a way of life, there's no way out
Don't want to escape or walk away
The spirit's in us til our dying day
In denim and leather
Through the storms and weather
We stand for life together
Get away, get away
In the fray, in the fray
This is the last brigade
It's the sound of our lives (Sound of our lives)
The sound of our lives (Sound of our lives)
The sound of our lives (Sound of our lives)
The truth is inside
We know the truth
We know the truth

Anthem:

Held back
Beat down
Got up every time (Got up every time)
Victory is victory
This life has been mine (It has been mine)
I sing the song of independence every day
Made mistakes and learned
Got burned along the way
(Ah)
But through it all I stood
(Ah)
And I'm still standing
(Ah)
And so I say:
This is my anthem
Been broke
Been hurt
Never gonna choke (Don't let it show)
Fought back
Took more than most will ever know (You'll never know)
To anyone
That I've wronged along the way
Here's my apology
Here's to a new page
(Ah)
But through it all I stood
(Ah)
Warrior standing
(Ah)
And so I say:
This is my anthem
(Ah)
But through it all I stood
(Ah)
Warrior standing
(Ah)
And so I say:
This is my anthem
(Ah)
But through it all we stood
(Ah)
And we're still standing
(Ah)
And so I say:
This is our anthem

Lonely Town:

Oh-oh-we-oh
I stand besides myself
My name is someone
I stand besides myself
My name is everyone
And in a lonely town I'm the lonely one again
I walk this lonely town just around the bend
You can't escape the pain in a lonely town tonight
You can't escape the pain unbroken
I stand besides myself
My name is someone
I am besides myself
I stand for everyone
And in a lonely town I'm a lonеly man again
I walk this lonely town can you be a lonely friеnd?
You can't escape the pain in a lonely town tonight
You can't escape the pain tonight
In this north side town
I'm always facing south
In this north side town (this north side town)
And in a lonely town I'm a lonely man again
I walk this lonely town looking for a friend
You can't escape the pain in a lonely town tonight
You can't escape the pain unbroken
You can't escape the pain in a lonely town tonight
Oh-oh-we-oh

Gleam:

Take a look outside your mind, unforgettable
Take a look outside
Cause we’re on our way tonight
Light the torch inside your mind, unsurpassable
In this time where nothing’s fine, so regrettable
Well we’re on our way, we’re on our way alright
Eye for an eye, man, we’re out of sight
And if that dog don’t hunt, just find another way
Walk through the fire, there’s no other way
Everything’s a blur
Just passing by
Take your shot
With a gleam in your eye
Take a step outside, you’ll find it’s delectable
Take a step outside, and watch the stars tonight
Take a look outside your mind, unforgettable
Take a look outside, we’re so collectable
Well we’re on our way, we’re on our way alright
Eye for an eye, man, you’re out of sight
And if that dog don’t hunt, just find another way
Walk through the fire, there’s no other way
Everything’s a blur
Just passing by
Take your shot
With a gleam in your eye
Take a look outside your mind, unforgettable
Take a look outside your mind, you’re so regrettable
Calling on the free world
Come on, come on
Calling on the free world
And if that dog don’t hunt, just find another way
Walk through the fire, there’s no other way
Everything’s a blur
Just passing by
Take your shot
With a gleam in your eye

Steal The Night:

Oh no no no
Another crazy day
Oh, won’t you stay?
Insanity inside of me
You’re gonna take it
I’m on my own again
I’m all alone again
This sanity inside of me
You’re gonna break it
We’re on our own again
I’m all alone again
And in this time, and in this place
Is there another way?
Nothing’s the same
Without you in the way
Guess I need to break away, alright
Get back out and steal the night
Oh no no no
Another crazy day
Oh, won’t you stay?
They say I’m free
Wish they were me
And so I fake it
I’m on my own again
I’m all alone again
This sanity inside of me
It’s what you make it
I’m on my own again
I’m all alone again
And in this time, and in this place
Is there anothеr way?
Nothing’s the same
No matter what you say
Guеss I need to break away, alright
Get back out and steal the night
We’re gonna take it
Get back out and steal the night
We’re gonna take it
Get back out and steal the night
(Steal the night) Steal the night
(Steal the night) Steal the night
(Steal the night)
And in this time, and in this place
Is there another way?
Nothing’s the same
Without you in the way
Guess I need to break away, alright
Get back out and steal the night
Running in place
I’m outta site
Running away, giving it up

So Solo:

I stand like a rock
When lights go down
And the crowd is there
For just a little time
Togetherness
Music and a rhyme
But then I'm alone again
The melancholy walks and talks
Yesterday I saw myself
And in a dream I lost myself
So solo
Rebellion
I fight against myself
My days are on the shelf
Wrap them up
Push them away
But still they stay
And yes I'm tough
But can I be
Tough as I need to be?
I break like a rock
When the heartache comes
And the thoughts go mad
For just a little time
I'm guilty of a night light crimе
And by that light I see it too
Adrift and broken, torn in two
So solo
Rebellion
So solo
Rеbellion
I fight against myself
My days are on the shelf
Tell myself
They’re put away
But still they stay

Darkest Sun:

In the darkest days
Of the blacklight rays
Stare into that sun again
Burn it down
All to the ground
Lost and found
Another round
In the darkest days
Follow the darkest rays
Staring down that gun again
The darkest sun
The darkest sun
These are the darkest days
Beneath the blacklight rays
Stare into that sun again
Rev it up
Go underground
Raise a cup
And toss it down
In the blacklight days
It’s the blacklight rays
Lifting up that gun again
The darkest sun
The darkest sun
You’ll never see
Another wreck
As wrecked as me
Woah
In the darkest days
In the blacklight rays
Explodе that sun again
Turn it up
Or go underground
Valhalla calling
So stand your ground
The darkest sun
Thе darkest sun
The darkest sun

Go Back Home:

Billy’s gone to fight a war
While the saints go marching in
With a bottle of fire and vengeance
And his mother’s Valium
Dealing retribution
From the bottom of the deck
One last shot at redemption
For a lifetime of regret
And there’s no room for purity
In this world
You can stand up and shout and still not be heard
Well he didn’t show for work today
Stole the old man’s car
Took the good book and a .44
For preaching to the choir
The neon signs are flashing
Beyond the moon and stars
Sometimes you got to come around
To remember who you are
And there’s no room for purity
In this world
You can stand up and shout and still not be heard
When did you forget (when did you forget)
That you’re alive (that you’re alive)
When did you look (when did you look)
When did you decide (when did you decide)
When did you let your past
Define your fate
When did you act the way
You’re taught to hate?
Going round and round at home
Crowded out, yet all alone
Things just happen, more or less
The world just has its way, I guess
Sometimes I feel that there’s a way
To win the game that I can’t play
Things just happen for the best
You could have much more or less
And there’s no room for purity
In this world
You can stand up and shout and still not be heard
Go back home (go back home)
You belong
Where you’re from (where you’re from)
Go back home (go back home)
You belong (You belong)
You can’t live forever on
Grand notions alone
Sometimes you gotta shake the dust
Then go back home
Then go back home

Black Sheep:

So sick, so sick of all the conformity
I'm riding hard
And living free
The fools, the knaves
The tough and the brave
Standing free
One foot in the grave
I'm an outlaw
In outer space
I'm the black sheep
(Out of step)
Clock is ticking loud
I gotta speak true
We've got such a lot of living to do
The fools, the knaves
The tough and the brave
Standing free
One foot in the grave
Time for me
To break away
I'm the black sheep
(Out of step)
Last of a dying breed
I'm the spirit
You can't defeat
Blaze my own path
Don't like it?
Kiss my-
These sheep keep bleating for conformity
I'm living hard
And riding free
The fools, the knaves
The tough and the brave
Standing free
One foot in the grave
Outlaws
Are here to stay
I'm the black sheep
(Out of step)
We are the cowboys of deformity
Free spirits bucking your authority
The fools, the knaves
The tough and the brave
Standing free
One foot in the grave
Outlaws
Are here to stay
I'm the black sheep
(Out of step)
Last of a dying breed
I'm the spirit
You can't defeat
Blazing my own path
Don't like it?
Kiss my-
Outlaws in outer space
Outlaws in outer space
Hey!
Hey!
Clock is ticking loud
I gotta speak true
We've got such a lot of living to do
The fools, the knaves
The tough and the brave
Standing free
One foot in the grave
Time for me
To break away
I'm the black sheep
(Out of step)
Last of a dying breed
I'm the spirit
You can't defeat
Following
My own creed
Freedom
Is what we need
Woah-oh, woah-oh

Heroes & Zeroes:

Gonna sing out the melody
But the girl, she won't talk to me
It's a shame cause I like her face
Another time or a different place
Get a life, get a life
There's just a little too much strife
What you know, what you know
In the fast lane, I'm going slow
And the world spins round and around
And I'm still going underground
Gonna scream so that girl can see
All the things that she's done to me
It's a shame cause I like the taste
Of all the time that I like to waste
Let it go, lеt it go
It's a lot closer than you know
Settle down, sеttle in
At the end is where we begin
And the world spins round and around
And I'm still going underground
Unleash me from myself
All the chains I put on myself
Make me who I long to be
The one that breaks free
This truth, would you like a taste?
Don't let it go to waste
Gonna sing out the melody
But the girl, she won't talk to me
It's a shame cause I like her face
Another time or a different place
And the world spins round and around
And I'm still going underground

Soar:

Every time I think
The world's okay
The devil has a laugh
And leads me astray
Try to fix me but I'm always broken
Bleed me dry, I remain unspoken
Mine is not a life meant to be
(The way I feel, now)
Peaceful or happy
Or even carefree
So I accept this daily pain
Remember why we remain
As I get closer to the end, I see your face
I see my fate
One love could make it all okay
One light to see the way
Lift a cup of regret, drink deep
Had a woman who robbed mе blind
But it's too late
To hit the rewind
As I gеt closer to the end, I see your face
I soar in space
One love could make it all okay
One light to see the way
Lift a cup of regret, drink deep
Oooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-ooh
Oooh-ooh-ooh

This Heart Remains:

Oh, what's your favorite sound?
A deep thought
In a quiet town
Oh-ho-ho-ho, yeah
Well, we'll get along
The words you just spoke
My new favorite song
Woah-ho-ho-ho
Memories may fade
But the heart remains
Turn it back again
Last breath of a dying dream
Less real
But no less obscene
Ho-ho-ho-ho
The lighthouse in your mind
The thought of a crime
The balance of time
Oh-ho-ho-ho
In the ocean grey
Filled with acid rain
This beating heart remains
This endless stream is dry
The wind has blown away
Remaining clouds havе left
Sun dims and then subsides
Thе warning signs have fallen
The carnival
Still
Is on its way
Yeah, what's a paradise?
Lots of luck
And you don't think twice
Oh-ho-ho-ho
He who plans regret
Lives so very long
But he's not dead yet
Oh-oh-oh
Memories may fade
In life's acid rain
This beating heart remains
