Where Shadows Hold Sway

With blank stares and weary souls
We press ahead, with hearts of coal
Down rough streets, our stories unfold
A melody of struggle, in lyrics untold
Lost senses, adrift along the way
In dark alleys, where shadows hold sway

You pick it up, we bring it down
Is there anything to fight for?
You pick it up, we bring it down
Is there anything to fight for?
In a poet's world, where emotions undress
where the burden of life is hard to confess

Dreams once free, now firmly bound
In the echoes of a love that can't be found
These heartfelt lyrics and melodies bold
We sing for the workers, the young and the old
Lost senses, adrift along the way
In dark alleys, where shadows hold sway

You pick it up, we bring it down
Is there anything to fight for?
You pick it up, we bring it down
Is there anything to fight for?
In a poet's world, where emotions undress

You pick it up, we bring it down
Is there anything to fight for?
You pick it up, we bring it down
Is there anything to fight for?
In a poet's world, where emotions undress
where the burden of life is hard to confess

You pick it up
In this void where I have grown
There's nothing here to call my own
You pick it up
You pick it up
You pick it up
we bring it down
You pick it up
You pick it up
