“MORE” More life, more breath, more things to say Ready to tune in – I’ve got what it takes If you think I’m gonna be satisfied and this’s the game I’m gonna play I’ll walk away – Not the game I wanna play Pick one, pick two - got blown away I want more I’m craving I need more pills today If you think I’m gonna be satisfied and this’s the game I’m gonna play I’ll walk away – Not the game I wanna play I had a life, and a wife but I lost it all Obsessed and blinded - you took my kids from me If you think you can take me down, force me to pay the price with pain I’ll come again - Not the price I wanna pay Treat me bad, like a fool - I won’t tell you the truth You can run but you can’t hide - I’m coming for you If you think that you can put me down, force me to pay the price with pain I’ll fight again - Not the price I wanna pay New leaf, fresh start, new games to play Redeemed and tuned in - I have so much to say But if you still think I’m satisfied and this’s the game I’m gonna play I’ll come again - Not the game I used to play

“MY FEARS IN THE NIGHT” When I was a little child, mum came to tuck me in for the night And then came the Sandman I knew that I was ready for the fight But it has been a long long time that I have to hide my fears in the night. In the middle of the night alone with clouds and wind going wild In the middle of the night, silence and shadows team up to scare a child But it has been a long long time that I have to hide my fears in the night And I fear that I’ll hear those scary voices in my head And I fear that these nightmares roam and crawl around my bed But it has been a long long time that I have to hide my fears in the night And I fear that I’ll hear those scary voices in my head And I fear that these nightmares would have me-in tears again And I have to stand and fight against the whispers in my room And I had to scream to chase the voice away for good

“I WILL WALK AGAIN” Sitting on this chair under a neon light Staring at the strangers by my side I’ve been in a night dream for all this while And then suddenly snapped-out and came alive But I will walk again And I will rise and not break Woke up this morning with a rock in my stomach Thinking about the memo and then - blanked Pictures of my children and my wife How can I tell them – sorry – end of time Because I can’t fight again I can no more bear the pain All the pain faded away And gravity vanished that day The disgust of scorn and lie Led a sad man to suicide - goodbye Faded away - Vanished that day Scorn and lie - Suicide He tried to walk again But he couldn’t - too much pain

Run 04:08
“RUN” I need to know things as I don’t understand I need to cross barriers if I want to see the end All my regrets my griefs somehow won’t end And when I see their eyes I wish I could repent Crimes I’ve committed can’t be forgiven Scars I left will never be erased All I need to do is to pretend And when I lie to them I would run and run For everything I need and every tear I bleed I would run and run For everything I need and every tear I bleed Things we need to talk about if we can Burden we need to share if we want to make it happen For all these years I had to pretend But when I look back I should have run and run For everything I need and every tear I bleed I should have run and run For everything I need and every tear I bleed

“IT TEARS ME APART” It tears me apart - It wears me down Since I’m alone - I got slowed down It tears me apart - It wears me down When I’m alone It is tearing me apart - Oh oh oh oh It tears me apart - It breaks me down Since I’m alone - I can't move on It tears me apart - It breaks me down When I’m alone It is tearing me apart - Oh oh oh oh So much is tearing me apart I was ripped apart - broken down I felt so low - Had to move on I was torn apart – And got worn out They died and It was tearing me apart - Oh oh oh oh Desperate and torn apart - Oh oh oh oh

Down Under 03:39
“DOWN UNDER” I walk by a beach on a Saturday night The cool breeze here gives me strength for the night It is one of those moments when things feel right I’m glad I’ve made my way to the far other side Hey! Hey! Down under! Hey! Hey! Keep rocking! Hey! Hey! Down under! Hey! Hey! Keep it up, keep it up! I packed my bags for the Outback Cosily laid back, treading on track I followed the road until the end of the line My body sweats and I feel fine Hey! Hey! Down under! Hey! Hey! Keep rocking! Hey! Hey! Down under! Hey! Hey! Keep it up, keep it up! Hey! Hey! Down under! Hey! Hey! Keep rocking! Hey! Hey! Down under! Hey! Hey! Keep it up, keep it up!

“AFRAID OF THE DARK” Now my friend Close your eyes and breathe Now my friend Let me bring you back from the years I was afraid of the dark I heard that voice in the dark I cried for help but I was silenced The shadows walked in to claim all their dues Now my friend Open your eyes and feel the pain Now my friend Let me bring you back unchained I was afraid of the dark I heard that voice in the dark I cried for help but I was silenced The shadows walked in to claim all their dues Nothing can really scare me now Nothing can really stop me now Nothing can really freak me out I was afraid of the dark I kept on searching for light But the fear was so much and the voices sound real That I jumped out of bed to put out my chills

Taking lives 04:03
“TAKING LIVES” Taking lives, murder wives Breathe the crimes and cross the lines I feel their blood inside my veins Fear the sins, but strike again Load the gun, Face the Sun Tighten rope, fade off hope Feel their blood inside my veins Fear the sins, but strike again I hear all their voices in my head I hear the cry of the dead This is something that I can’t explain Are you trying to mess with my brain Taking lives, murder wives Breathe the crimes and cross the lines Taste the blood once again Call the slain once again

“GIVE UP THE FIGHT” I was afraid of the cold of the night but it’s over - it is over I got broken the day he passed but I know All that I know is I have to let go All that I need is calm down my tones I give up the fight - I gave it a try I wasted my time But now I have to let it go I give up the fight - I gave it a try I buried my life But now I have to let it go I felt alone for my entire life but it’s over - it is over I shut myself from the world and I know All that I know is I have to let go All that I need is calm down and grow I give up the fight - I gave it a try I wasted my time But now I have to let it go I give up the fight - I gave it a try I buried my life But now I have to let it go I give up the fight - I am watching over I gave it a try - I am watching over I am watching over you I am watching over - You’re watching over I am watching over- You’re watching over You’re watching over me In the night, we roam in the moon light – All shadows and spirits turned bright In the night, we light up the skies – and in our hearts the hope rises Every night, we live in our dream – And can tell each other how we feel

BLACK SUMMER The 2019-20 Australia bushfire season was a period of unusually intense bushfires in many parts of Australia. Hundreds of fires burnt, mainly in the southeast of the country. The fires burnt an estimated 18.6 million hectares, destroyed over 5,900 buildings and killed at least 34 people. Millions of animals were affected and some endangered species were believed to be driven to extinction. Authorities estimated that at least 306 million tonnes of CO2 had been emitted. There has been considerable debate regarding the underlying cause of the intensity and scale of the fires, including the role of fire management practices and climate change, which during the peak of the crisis attracted significant international attention. This dramatic period is now known as the Black Summer.
