Bravo Team is back for an encore
Another day, another hard-fought war
Defending the free world is a tall order
But that's the duty we've all been called for
We're comin' in strong, not gonna knock doors
Breach and clear
What you even got a lock for?
There comes a time to draw the line
And there's no denyin' that
I'm gonna cross yours
Squad leader, and I got the vision
Now we're goin' dark and
Then you're goin' missin'
We're covered by night
So be silent and listen
But you won't hear shit till
We've finished our mission
You scared of the Bogeyman? 'Cause he exists
He'll light up a cigar
Then you're gonna get lit
Regret? I never been encumbered with it
'Cause when I make a decision
- I'm runnin' with it

People see the world in black or white
But have you crossed that line before?
You'll end up dead unless you have some fight
But either way
You're gonna pay the price of war

When you're caught 'tween a rock
And a hard place
Stay calm, even when you feel your heart race
You might think you're gonna do what's right
But when the lights go out
You're forced to a dark place
So when you gotta pull the trigger
Never hesitate every second that you wait
Death is one step away
Showin' mercy's a mistake you
Should never make workin' long nights so the
World sees better days
Stay frosty, don't let your thoughts run
You're not a hero
You're here to get the job done
So don't punch out now, you're on the clock
Son i'm countin' sheep - by "count"
I mean shot some
You're the hunter, find your target
If you don't got one, then you are it
This is not a drill - now prepare to
Put a brave face on, counterterror

People see the world in black or white
But have you crossed that line before?
You'll end up dead unless you have some fight
But either way
You're gonna pay the price of war
I'm watchin' you the night has eyes
Sights locked on you now say your goodbyes


People see the world in black or white
But have you crossed that line before?
You'll end up dead unless you have some fight
But either way
You're gonna pay the price of war
I'm watchin' you the night has eyes
Sights locked on you now say your goodbyes

Holiday
Bee Gees
@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday". I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.

I Can't Go To Sleep
Wu-Tang Clan
This song is written as the perspective of the boys in the street, as a whole, and what path they are going to choose as they get older and grow into men. (This is why the music video takes place in an orphanage.) The seen, and unseen collective suffering is imbedded in the boys’ mind, consciously or subconsciously, and is haunting them. Which path will the boys choose? Issac Hayes is the voice of reason, maybe God, the angel on his shoulder, or the voice of his forefathers from beyond the grave who can see the big picture and are pleading with the boys not to continue the violence and pattern of killing their brothers, but to rise above. The most beautiful song and has so many levels. Racism towards African Americans in America would not exist if everyone sat down and listened to this song and understood the history behind the words. The power, fear, pleading in RZA and Ghostface voices are genuine and powerful. Issac Hayes’ strong voice makes the perfect strong father figure, who is possibly from beyond the grave.

Magical
Ed Sheeran
How would you describe the feeling of being in love? For Ed Sheeran, the word is “Magical.” in HIS three-minute album opener, he makes an attempt to capture the beauty and delicacy of true love with words. He describes the magic of it all over a bright Pop song produced by Aaron Dessner.
Album art
Amazing
Ed Sheeran
Ed Sheeran tells a story of unsuccessfully trying to feel “Amazing.” This track is about the being weighed down by emotional stress despite valiant attempts to find some positivity in the situation. This track was written by Ed Sheeran from the perspective of his friend. From the track, we see this person fall deeper into the negative thoughts and slide further down the path of mental torment with every lyric.
