Thanks in Advance

thomao Loving the melodic blends on Luna and of course those essential electric hand claps to match the pulsating rhythm of I'm a Believer. Everything about this album. No really......EVERYTHING

SVEN5000L This Album is a Synthwave-play of highest quality.
I love the storyline that is told through the tracks. Every song is a lyrical masterpiece and especially this awesome "Plot-Twist" in "I'm a Believer"
has it done to me. Rarely heard something that epic. Favorite track: I'm a Believer.

Mads Behrend Christensen Been waiting for this album a good while and it does not disappoint. The retro feel is real! Favorite track: Back to Life.

Track Name: Never Live Without You: I trade light for cash in the Palace Arcade
Run a mile down town to see a familiar face
I'll take any chance, any chance to tell you
To say what it's been like chasing your silhouette
Every second after second going out of my head
I'll do anything, anything you want to

So I cut all my ties
Lay down the glove
Shake off the dust that I'm wearing
Tell me I'm dreaming

I'm a state away from breaking out
Give me words to keep me falling down
I can never live, I can never live
Never live without you

Spent those nights strung out
With your heart on my sleeve
Lose ourselves talking about
All you were going to be but it gets away
And in my head it's still true

So I cut all my ties
Lay down the glove
Shake off the dust that I'm wearing
Tell me I'm dreaming

I'm a state away from breaking out
Give me words to keep me falling down
I can never live, I can never live
Never live without you
If some night I never come back home
You'll find me where the street lights glow
I can never live, I can never live
Never live without you

Just another step to me and we're in the clear
Love we've been here far too long I want to disappear
Just another step to me

I'm a state away from breaking out
Give me words to keep me falling down
I can never live, I can never live
Never live without you
If some night I never come back home
You'll find me where the street lights glow
I can never live, I can never live
Never live without you

(Coda)
I can never live without you
I can never live without you
Never live without you...
If some night I never come back home
You'll find me where the street lights glow
I can never live, I can never live
Never live without you
Track Name: Overcome: I don’t hide from the action
But I can’t brace your fall
When arrows fly over my head
I’m counting down, got to break out

Whatever happened to the two of us?
We were free from distraction and doubt
I wanna be frozen, just wanna be frozen with you
On your side again

So tell me it’s alright and you’re gonna be there
Keep me from shadow, when dark fills my head
My fortune ain’t fading you can see in my eyes
I will overcome, I can overcome

To the light in the distance
You’re my only desire
Like the sun gives into the night
I won’t slow down, I’m homeward bound

Whatever happened to the two of us?
We were free from distraction and doubt
I wanna be frozen, just wanna be frozen with you
On your side again

So tell me it’s alright and you’re gonna be there
Keep me from shadow, when dark fills my head
My fortune ain’t fading you can see in my eyes
I will overcome, I can overcome

(Chant)
Ahh, ah, ahh, ah
Ahh, ah, ahh, ah
Ahh, ah, ahh, ah
Ahh, ah, ahh, ah

I won’t run, I won’t start, I won’t
Look here for answers or one more tries
Still if you want me to be your light
I will overcome, I can overcome

(Chorus Repeat)
Track Name: Back to Life: Cold light streaming but my heart’s still beating from a memory
With these hands I’m seeing
Clinging for some heaven that you gave to me
Like a wire to my blood, keep me high, make me a believer
You gave me reason in the dark, I’ll take the dive
If you bring me back to life…

Back to life, you bring me back to life
Bring me back to life

I got my head and vision from a soul decision to set me straight
I tread the longest line down the streets of my mind
Just to see your face, again
Now I’ve been pushing for so long to the surface, to be high
Like a drop onto the fire
One more reason to restart and I’ll take the dive
If you bring me back to life…

Back to life, you bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
If you bring me back to life

I ain’t ever gonna let you go
I won’t ever let the times take hold
I won’t ever let you pass on by
Become a ghost at the back of my mind
Like a wire to my blood, keep me high…

Back to life, you bring me back to life
Bring me back to life
Ohhh, oh oh

Bring me back to life
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ah
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ah
Bring me back to life
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ah
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ah
Bring me back to life
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ah
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ah

I ain’t ever gonna let you go
I won’t ever let the times take hold
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ah
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ah
I won’t ever let you pass on by
become a ghost at the back of my mind
Back to life
Track Name: The Rising Tide: I wait in the silence
In the wake, of broken care
It’s for you, take the shelter that I give
I’ll never know where you’re at, where I’m coming from
They’re telling me we won’t last but I keep pushing on

Shine on, shine on me like gold
Freedom, let my freedom fall to you
There’s no place, there’s no place left for you to hide
From the rising tide

The rising tide, rising, rising there’s no place left to hide
The rising tide, rising, rising from the rising tide
The rising tide, rising, rising there’s no place left to hide
The rising tide, rising, rising from the rising tide

Fall out, under street light
Then embrace the open air
Like shadows roam the great halls, we’re unchained
I’ll never have what it takes to face this one on one
But I figured out my mistakes, salvation won’t be long

Shine on, shine on me like gold
Freedom, let my freedom fall to you
There’s no place, there’s no place left for you to hide
From the rising tide

The rising tide, rising, rising there’s no place left to hide
The rising tide, rising, rising from the rising tide
The rising tide, rising, rising there’s no place left to hide
The rising tide, rising, rising from the rising tide

I’ve made the spill from my mind
The demands, your goodbyes
Young blood, won’t want to know
If it’s a case of a thrill, I would cut you a deal
Just to hold

There’s no place for us to hide
Shine on, yeah I want to see you shine
Freedom, I’ll let my freedom fall to you
There’s no place, there’s no place left for you to hide
From the rising tide

The rising tide, rising, rising there’s no place left to hide
The rising tide, rising, rising from the rising tide
The rising tide, rising, rising there’s no place left to hide
The rising tide, rising, rising from the rising tide
Ooh, Shine on, shine on me like gold
Freedom, I just want a little freedom

I’ll keep rising, I’ll keep rising, to the end
Track Name: Miracle Mile: Caught in forever
Like King and Queen
I dreamed I was falling
To the sound of angels sing
Pass by sunset, running every single light
I know it’s not enough for the both of us
Every waking hour in a state so high

It’s not make or ruin, if we lose control
Just to find an answer, just to fill our souls
Hear the sirens singin’, as our shadows run

Miracle mile, come on and show me your face
Where do you lead, I’m a ghost to the streets
But still I’m out of place
Miracle mile, I could never replace
The sound of your soul beating
I swear I won’t let it fade

We built up a kingdom, on paper dreams
Watched every moment, melt like memories
But I don’t give in easy, searching for the light
Maybe it’s grandiose, the ideas that I hold
Of stepping out from behind closed eyes

It’s not make or ruin, if we lose control
Just to find an answer, just to fill our souls
Hear the sirens singin’, as our shadows run

Miracle mile, come on and show me your face
Where do you lead, I’m a ghost to the streets
But still I’m out of place
Miracle mile, I could never replace
The sound of your soul beating
I swear I won’t let it fade

I, I won’t let time pull us down
If only you, you’ve gotta trust in what I’ve found
Oooh, in the Miracle Mile

Miracle mile, come on and show me your face
Where do you lead, I’m a ghost to the streets
But still I’m out of place
Miracle mile, I could never replace (I could not replace)
The sound of your soul beating
I swear I won’t let it fade
Track Name: Luna: How can I settle down
Get outta here, when you’re not around?
Stop me drifting through the years
I’m on borrowed time
Slipping through the cracks of another life
And I’m wondering if you’ll ever know

What I had to do to keep myself from falling
Things I had to say, to cover it up
Wouldn’t it be easy, just to pull the plug?
But that’s not like us

Luna, how could you know what I’m missing
Luna, not seen you for a while
Girl, don’t leave me hanging
You’re all that I want, you’ve got my attention
Something that I idolise
Luna won’t you come my way some time

Interrupt your smile, with a second glance
From across the screen
I was caught up in your mystery

What I’ve got to do to keep myself from falling?
What I’ve got to say, to cover it up?
Wouldn’t it be easy, just to pull the plug?
But that’s not like us

Luna, how could you know what I’m missing
Luna, not seen you for a while
Girl, don’t leave me hanging
You’re all that I want, you’ve got my attention
Something that I idolise
Luna won’t you come my way some time

Luna, how could you know what I’m missing
Luna, not seen you for a while
Girl, don’t leave me hanging
You’re all that I want, you’ve got my attention
Something that I idolise
Luna, won’t you come my way
Luna, you’re all that I want
Luna, won’t you come my way
Luna
Track Name: I'm a Believer: Trepidation like a hole to the head
I want to tell you that I’m planning the breakout
So sick of living like a man on the edge
This line of work ain’t gonna get either of us out

How do I get this right, get this right
All you hear me saying
Why do I waste my time, on you?

I’m a believer, praying for some light to the unknown
I’m a believer, I’ll give you something real just to hold on

You think I’m blind, but I say how it is
The world’s alight headed straight for a countdown
But it’s alright, I’ve seen worse in my sleep
This ain’t roulette you can bet on the layout

I’m a believer, praying for some light to the unknown
I’m a believer, I’ll give you something real just to hold on
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhh

I know I’ve drifted from my part that I should be playing
And I’m still holding to the chance, you still hear what I’m saying
Yea, you still hear what I’m saying
Yea, you still hear what I’m saying

I’m a believer, praying for some light to the unknown
I’m a believer, I’ll give you something real just to hold on
Yea, yea, yea I believe
Ahh, ahh, ahh, ahh, ahhh
Track Name: Hold On: This love
I’ll wait for it
I’ll tell what you want
Give everything I’ve got to give
This love
Nothing more than this
We wander in the unknown
Ain’t nothing artificial about this love

Hold on
Tomorrow will be better
Now I see
The answer’s right in front of me
Steal a breath, free yourself from all this pressure
Don’t lose your head about it
Hold on, Hold on

This love
I’ll wait for it
I’ll tell what you want
Give everything I’ve got to give
Track Name: The Driver (feat. The Night Hour): You were a stranger to me
From the other side
Took my crown threw it in the sea
That ain't the part I had mind

Get no pleasure from the pressure, all that you feed
To walk like every modern man
I see you, filling up your lungs like ammunition to a gun
You take a swing but you can't take me down

I am the driver
You can see in my eyes
Got two hands at the wheel now
You can't rule my mind
I am the driver
It's once in a lifetime
Had me crawl for my place here
Every cloud has a silver line

I want to be free from this place
In your land of mines
You can't pull me from out my head space
I'm switching all of the signs

Standing on my shoulders just to get what you need
For reasons I don't understand
I see you, chasing down my red light
As you fall to your knees
Take one last look, coz I'm getting out

I am the driver
You can see in my eyes
Got two hands at the wheel now
You can't rule my mind
I am the driver
It's once in a lifetime
Had me crawl for my place here
Every cloud has a silver line

(Chorus Repeat)

I want to be free from this place
I am the driver
Take one last look
Coz I'm getting out
