Alarion Melora

[Verse]
I'm always proud to say
I work each and every day
Shoulder the wheel, give my best
Until I have a day of rest

[Verse]
Don't mind hard or manual work
I've never been one to shirk
No-one calls me a lazy slob
Just want pay for my job

[Verse]
I don't have selfish greed
Only want is what I need
Evening come a place to rest
Home cooked meal is the best

[Verse]
It's a simple life for me
Time at home with the family
Afford what I need and pay
to have some rest days away

[Chorus]
The more they rise, we fall
They want not some, but all
From us they take and take
Both our bread and our cake
Control the prices and the goods
Energy, housing and our foods
Down we go, ground under boot
A silent army totally mute

[Verse]
Times are getting harder now
Extra pay they won't allow
Now a raise in monthly rent
But my wages already spent

[Verse]
Summer no chance of days away
Gas and Electric bills to pay
This my first time havin' debt
Every week too much to get

[Verse]
Went to ask for a little more
Instead I got shown the door
Shuffle home to see her cry
State and charity help apply

[Verse]
Company boss got paid even more
Now I clearly see the score
They try to take everything
Only to leave us nothing

[Chorus]
The more they rise, we fall
They want not some, but all
From us they take and take
Both our bread and our cake
Control the prices and the goods
Energy, housing and our foods
Down we go, ground under boot
A silent army totally mute

[Chorus]
The more they rise, we fall
They want not some, but all
From us they take and take
Both our bread and our cake
Control the prices and the goods
Energy, housing and our foods
Down we go, ground under boot
A silent army totally mute

[Verse]
Anger hot in my chest
No longer gonna request
Take back now what they stole
Then we'll be in control

[Verse]
We'll overthrow the yoke
Time for us ordinary folk
Storm their large luxury yachts
Take everything they've got

[Verse]
We're no longer placid serfs
We'll fight for our net worth
Money can't save them here
We are what they really fear

[Verse]
Tear it down and start again
Victors will be working men
Soft hands can't build a town
Billionaires are going down

[Chorus]
The more they fall, we rise
The world seen with new eyes
We want to share to give
Helping all to start to live
Reduce the prices for our good
Affordable housing and cheap food
Up we rise with their loot
A vocal army no longer mute

[Chorus]
The more they fall, we rise
The world seen with new eyes
We want to share to give
Helping all to start to live
Reduce the prices for our good
Affordable housing and cheap food
Up we rise with their loot
A vocal army no longer mute
A vocal army no longer mute
A vocal army no longer mute

[Verse]
You judge every book by it's cover
Be it enemy, friend or lover
You're afraid to peek inside
See what truth the cover may hide

[Verse]
You made your mind up long ago
Open this book, don't you wanna know
You don't want me to explain
You're so sure what I contain

[Verse]
You don't really know who I am
Do you even give a damn
If you looked, you'd see the scars
A complex story not flash cards

[Chorus]
A book has a story
And this one is mine
Don't rush the reading
Won't you take your time
The story you'll find here
Will have some hard lines
But read it with care
It'll be worth the time

[Verse]
Dust jacket I wear, a disguise
It'll show I'm one of the guys
One of the guys or of the girls
Why must it be just two worlds

[Verse]
Shedding this skin that hides another
Not as simple as losing the cover
Tear off my skin like it's paper
Let you see my honest nature

[Chorus]
A book has a story
And this one is mine
Don't rush the reading
Won't you take your time
The story you'll find here
Will have some hard lines
But read it with care
It'll be worth the time

[Verse]
My lived life has never been true
Hiding from each one including you
Lying on an empty shelf all alone
Don't want to be a solitary tome

[Verse]
Interested reader is what I need
To look at the pages and closely read
If they could read each torn page
I'd not be hidden, I would engage

[Chorus]
A book has a story
And this one is mine
Don't rush the reading
Won't you take your time
The story you'll find here
Will have some hard lines
But read it with care
It'll be worth the time

[Chorus]
A book has a story
And this one is mine
Don't rush the reading
Won't you take your time
The story you'll find here
Will have some hard lines
But read it with care
It'll be worth the time

[Chorus]
Oooh, it's me time

[Verse]
In my parents car, I was
Checking the undercarriage
Practicing my touch typing
Sailing the catamaran
and
Taking a self-guided tour

[Verse]
In a fitting room, I was
Paddling the pink canoe
Checking the finger puppets
Loving the downstairs DJ
and
Having a ménage à moi

[Chorus]
Oooh, I want it

[Verse]
On a Ferris wheel, I was
Loving some finger painting
Playing chess with no bishop
Getting lost in the deep end
and
Polishing the little jewel

[Verse]
At the movies, I was
Reading below the fold
Buttering my muffin
Tapping my own potential
and
Having a girls night in

[Chorus]
Oooh, I need it
Oooh, I need it
Oooh, I need it

[Verse]
In the shower, I was
Testing the waterslide
Fingering the fine china
Beating around the bush
and
Touching up my lip gloss

[Verse]
On the dryer, I was
Practising some DIY time
Dialling the rotary phone
Knocking on heaven’s door
and
Shaking out the curtains

[Chorus]
Oooh, I touch it

[Verse]
At a sleepover, I was
Solving cat’s cradle
Flooding the basement
Folding the fitted sheet
and
Romancing myself

[Verse]
In the gym, I was
Doing a Meg Ryan
Rubbing the raspberry
Twanging the meringue
and
Punching the pill box

[Chorus]
Oooh, I feel it

[Verse]
In traffic, I was
Diddling Miss Daisy
Buffing the bumper
Polishing my china
and
Romancing the stone

[Verse]
On a train, I was
Rocking the suburbs
Being my own boss
Pinching the dumpling
and
Probing my psyche

[Chorus]
Oooh, I love it

[Verse]
At work, I was
Checking my purse
Taming the shrew
Working from home
and
Fanning the fur

[Verse]
In class, I was
Minding the gap
Playing the piano
Crowning the queen
and
Dotting the I

[Chorus]
Oooh aaah, aaah aah, ah yeah, it's me time
I'm doing it again
I'm doing it again
and again
and again
it's me time

[Verse]
In a quiet restaurant
Same table separate lives
White collared men
And looking-glass wives

[Verse]
In a lovers eye
The light of the room
Where once sang the angels
Now shades of love's tomb

[Verse]
Words die on the lips
That once kissed the bride
The starched linen barrier
Behind which they hide

[Verse]
Caress once gentle
Loving touch reassured
Now skin so sensitive
Tense moments endured

[Chorus]
Collective love loses souls
No longer together
You knew what you had
It made you better
When your soul loses love
You lose it forever

[Verse]
The talk stirred the blood
And the smile mystified
When did this all stop?
The day their love died

[Verse]
Bonded souls entwined
Can fracture and die
In the time it takes
To blink a lovers eye

[Verse]
They moved in a couple
Starting paired lives
Moved out as singles
No love in their eyes

[Chorus]
Collective love loses souls
No longer together
You knew what you had
It made you better
When your soul loses love
You lose it forever

[Chorus]
Collective love loses souls
No longer together
You knew what you had
It made you better
When your soul loses love
You lose it forever

[Chorus]
Collective love loses souls
No longer together
You knew what you had
It made you better
When your soul loses love
You lose it forever

[Verse]
You're in my bathroom,
You lie in my bed
Why is it today
I wish you were dead

[Verse]
When my eyes met yours
It felt forever
Now it's much too long
We've been together

[Chorus]
We're bound together
No chance of escape
My feelings are mixed
Is it love or hate?
Love or hate
Love or hate
Love or hate

[Verse]
All I ever wanted
Was to have some fun
You sabotaged it
Meaning I had none

[Verse]
I lie to you, yes!
I want to be free
It's not to hurt you
But to protect me

[Chorus]
We're bound together
No chance of escape
My feelings are mixed
Is it love or hate?
Love or hate
Love or hate
Love or hate

[Verse]
Do I love you now
I really want to
You make it so hard
I don't know how to

[Verse]
I want to be brave
Go after my dream
Your fear of failure
Stops us being a team

[Chorus]
We're bound together
No chance of escape
My feelings are mixed
Is it love or hate?
Love or hate
Love or hate
Love or hate

[Verse]
My words have hurt you
You're starting to cry
Do I feel guilty
No! I cannot lie

[Verse]
I watch your tears
I love making you cry
See you in the mirror
Wiping tears from m eyes

[Chorus]
Love or hate
Love or hate
Love or hate
Love or hate

[Verse]
A colourful book is held
By an excited hand
Careful words silently spelled
Driving kids to understand

[Verse]
Every day to the book return
Fertile minds as they grow
Give all a chance to learn
Hearing words helps them know

[Verse]
In school class or at home
Just read whatever you find
Keeping up this daily routine
Leaves an imprint on their mind

[Verse]
Mom and Dad can always assist
No-one should just use their phone
Open books at bed, can’t resist
Please don't let them read alone

[Verse]
Ignorance is bliss or so they would say
Wish we could be blissful if only for a day

[Verse]
When we see it all we know far too much
Can't be normal, blind and start to lose touch

[Verse]
Smartest in the room isn't any kind of gift
Look at us with awe? You just don't get it

[Chorus]
We breathe, we move, we talk, the same as you
We think, we see, we know, as you can't do

[Verse]
We know what you'll say, we know what you'll do
What we have are curses, not tools you can use

[Verse]
Our thoughts can spiral into many a dark place
Our minds often hurt us with their frantic pace

[Verse]
Spirits, sex and drugs provide some relief
This isn't permanent, mental pause is brief

[Chorus]
We breathe, we move, we talk, the same as you
We think, we see, we know, as you can't do

[Verse]
Looking at the numbers, we spread across the years
Ultra-minds are any age, gender, race or queer

[Verse]
You can't see the world from our point of view
If we could show you, you'd wish you never knew

[Verse]
You can't understand some of you will try
Don't worry if you fail, we can't explain why

[Chorus]
We breathe, we move, we talk, the same as you
We think, we see, we know, as you can't do

[Verse]
When you look you see what you wanna see
You can't see the pain, we long to be free

[Verse]
Will we find some peace, at best distraction
Just seeing others happy is our satisfaction

[Verse]
The world isn't ready, it's not made for us
But we want to help. Why do we? Just because

[Chorus]
We breathe, we move, we talk, the same as you
We think, we see, we know, as you can't do

[Chorus]
I dance when I am happy
I dance when I am sad
When I have no reason to
or when I'm fucking mad
I dance
I dance
When I'm not on my own
or I'm totally alone
The shower the car every where
For a bet or a dare
I dance
I dance

[Verse]
Mom says I danced in her tummy
There have been times I danced for money

[Verse]
I danced at school, in ballet class
I danced at parties, wiggling my ass

[Verse]
I've tapped, I've jived and now I'm street
I'm gonna dance whenever there's a beat

[Verse]
My girls and I danced on the beach
Many cocktails meant we were strippers each

[Chorus]
I dance when I am happy
I dance when I am sad
When I have no reason to
or when I'm fucking mad
I dance
When I'm not on my own
or I'm totally alone
The shower the car every where
For a bet or a dare
I dance

[Verse]
I danced at my wedding, graceful and white
I danced a tango, got pregnant that night

[Verse]
I taught my kids to dance, every one
I remembered to dance for fun

[Verse]
Retirement meant ballroom, Latin and Jazz
In the old folks home, still got pizzazz

[Verse]
Now I'm gone, they're dancing on my grave
Dance through the gates heading for a rave

[Chorus]
I dance when I am happy
I dance when I am sad
When I have no reason to
or when I'm fucking mad
I dance
When I'm not on my own
or I'm totally alone
The shower the car every where
For a bet or a dare
I dance

[Chorus]
I dance when I am happy
I dance when I am sad
When I have no reason to
or when I'm fucking mad
I dance
When I'm not on my own
When I'm totally alone
The shower the car every where
For a bet or a dare
I dance
I dance
