rotten (+JessieRosse)

[Intro]
“Through black water… he moves unseen…”
“Carolina bleeds… the crown falls to its knees…”

[Verse 1]
Born in smoke, baptized in flame,
They hunt a ghost without a name.
Through Southern swamps where the willows weep,
He rides through shadows, cold and deep.
The redcoats march with fire and steel,
But phantoms strike what tyrants feel.
No throne, no crown, no empire’s chain—
Can hold the Fox who breaks their reign.

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Strike… and fade… into the night.
Gone… before… the morning light.

[Chorus 1]
Swamp Fox! He rides through Carolina rain!
Swamp Fox! A shadow they can’t hunt or chain!
Refuge in the marshlands, but he’ll never fall,
A ghost in the darkness, he answers freedom’s call!
(Woah-oh-oh!) The Fox will never die!
(Woah-oh-oh!) When empires burn, he’ll rise!

[Verse 2]
Columns break beneath the moon,
Ambush strikes, then gone too soon.
Through the cypress, past the grave,
Every soldier that they gave—
Lost to water, lost to night,
Guerrilla fire, then out of sight.
The crown sends armies, sends its best,
But swamps consume what they detest.

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Strike… and fade… like morning mist.
Gone… as if… he don’t exist.

[Chorus 2]
Swamp Fox! He rides through Carolina rain!
Swamp Fox! A shadow they can’t catch or chain!
Refuge in the marshlands, but he’ll never fall,
A ghost in the darkness, he answers freedom’s call!
(Woah-oh-oh!) The Fox will never die!
(Woah-oh-oh!) When empires burn, he’ll rise!

[Bridge]
You can’t catch what you can’t see…
You can’t kill what won’t bleed…
Your empire crumbles stone by stone,
The Fox still hunts — you die alone!

[Breakdown]
No crown! (No crown!)
No chain! (No chain!)
Blood and rain!
Through the fog! Through the grave!
None return — none are saved!

[Final Chorus]
Swamp Fox! He rides through Carolina rain!
Swamp Fox! A shadow they can’t hunt or chain!
Refuge in the marshlands, but he’ll never fall,
A ghost in the darkness, he answers freedom’s call!
Swamp Fox! Still rides in the stories we tell,
Swamp Fox! His legend burns where empires fell!
The ages fade, but still his name remains—
A patriot spirit that breaks all chains!
(Woah-oh-oh!) The Fox will never die!
(Woah-oh-oh!) Through Carolina skies!

[Outro]
Through black water… forever unseen…
The Swamp Fox rides… where freedom dreams…

The Swamp Fox

Down now
Where you are going

Wake up

You were born
To be in this world

Find your truth
Find your life

Nothing is perfect
In this world
Nothing is perfect
In this world

Go get it
What you want

I believe
In you

Don't be
Like anybody else
Life goes on without you
Life goes on without you
Life goes on without you
Life goes on without you so give it up
Try not to be yourself

Give it up
Try not to be yourself

Do the opposite

Do the Opposite

Smoke and Mirrors

My heart is wasting away 
And I’m drowning in my sorrow 
And I’m loosing touch again 

My heart is racing away 
When I feel your touch 
When I’m in your presence 
Everything feels so right 
I wouldn’t throw this away 
Even if it meant the death of me 
The death of me 
Because without you 
I’m already dead 

You’re all that I see 
You’re in my heart and in my dreams 
You had reached perfection to me 

But what I failed to see 
Was right in front of me 
As my roots grew deeper to you 
They revealed the problems that I once saw through 
I looked to you when I needed insight 
You were my everything 
And all I thought I needed was right there 
But I’d be proven wrong 
Can I hold on any longer 
Or are we falling apart 
Forever I’ll see the sun rays glimpse your face 
I’ll hold you in my memory 
Forever these memories remain 
But let go! 

Lifeless I feel 
Scared I am 
Is this love wasted 
Or more pain to come 
Why do I care so much 
Why do I give a fuck 
Is this love wasted 
Or more pain to come 
Go! 
I’m done with your ways 
Done with your games 
Scarred with this pain 

My heart is wasting away 
And I’m drowning in my sorrow 
And I’m loosing touch again (X3)
