If I Let You Go

If I let you go
Would you run and keep running?
Never look back and erase all your tracks?
If I let you go
If I let you go
Would you feel free or lonesome?
Thankful or heartbroke, the poison, the antidote?
If I let you go
If I let you go
Would you find comfort in another?
Create a new home, or be happy alone?
If I let you go
If I let you go
Would you cast our memories away?
No longer fulfilling with me as the villain?
If I let you go
And if I knew all of the answers
Would I wish I never asked?
If I let you go
Will regret follow me forever?
Or will this worry cease, will we ever find peace?
If I let you go

Darkness walks
Darkness talks
Darkness says hello
No emotion
Backwards motion
Nothing more to know
Burn the rubble
Seeking trouble
Find a sad disgrace
With your fire lit
You acquire it
Leave behind no trace
It's the kind of evil keep a man up at night
It's the kind of evil make a peaceful man fight
Now you're feelin like Elvis with nothin to proclaim
You never loved me, you don't deserve my name
Sorry man
Sorry plans
Searching for a soul
Little parrots
Pull and tear it
Trade it for control
It's the kind of evil keep a man up at night
It's the kind of evil make a peaceful man fight
Now you're feelin like Elvis with nothin to proclaim
You never loved me, you don't deserve my name
Gormless choices
Giant voices
Hide your fear away
Serpent's tongue
The bell's been rung
Now leave it to decay
It's the kind of evil keep a man up at night
It's the kind of evil make a peaceful man fight
Now you're feelin like Elvis with nothin to proclaim
You never loved me, you don't deserve my name

We got all day
So there ain't no need for rushing
We got a spot
Down on Rainbow Avenue
We got the sun
Trace our outlines with its shadows
You got me and I got you
We got some land
At the heart of Fillmore County
We got a home
Its not much but it'll do
We got some friends
They got claws but they won't hurt us
You got me and I got you
I got you
I got you
You got me
I got you
We got our bikes
So let's ride 'em to the orchard
We got our tools
They're antiques but they look new
We got a fire
Keep us warm 'til long past nightfall
You got me and I got you
I got you
I got you
You got me
And I got you

Kings of the North

The icy wind is our vanguard
The winter moon [is] our guide
In our vessel true
Our pugnacious crew
Across the sea does ride
Swords and shields at the ready
Torches all alight
We'll merrily dine
And soak up the wine
In (old) Valhalla tonight
Fire shall rain down from the heavens
Man and beast shall resist no more
When our foes throw down their weapons
At long last
We will reign
Kings of the North
No mortal soul shall restrain us
In this, our noble quest
Oh, pray not for peace
For we shall not cease
'Til all have acquiesced
Our vict'ry won't be forgotten
Our story forever told
We'll take what we take
For the land of the lakes
With banners purple and gold
Fire shall rain down from the heavens
Man and beast shall resist no more
When our foes throw down their weapons
At long last
We will reign
Kings of the North
We shall not speak of past hardships
Of injustice we've endured
Though some had to cheat
To bring us defeat
We'll have the final word
Prepare the ship for the voyage
And strike the battle drum
We'll sing our fight songs
As we sail along
No rest 'til we have won
Fire shall rain down from the heavens
Man and beast shall resist no more
When our foes throw down their weapons
At long last
We will reign
Kings of the North

Ash Ketchum's Blues

He's back in Pallet Town with a busted heart drinking Old Milwaukee in a lonely hotel room
Eleven miles away the girl he loves is most likely occupying her time with another man
And he never needed
Nothin' as bad as he needed that girl
And now that he's become
Aware of her existence
Every new love is just a shadow of what he thought he could've had with her
They walked these same old streets on the day they met, what a glorious summer day that was
But now the city's cold because it's October and because there are no friendly faces around
And he never needed
Nothin' as bad as he needed that girl
And now that he's become
Aware of her existence
Every new love is just a shadow of what he thought he could've had with her
The girl was unaware of his love for her because he lacked the confidence to say anything
And life just rolls along through the joy and the pain, through the happiness and through the suffering
And he never needed
Nothin' as bad as he needed that girl
And now that he's become
Aware of her existence
Every new love is just a shadow of what he thought he could've had with her
