The song 'Choice Is Yours' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'Death Ground'.

LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
As a young boy he'd look high in the sky
Thinking big dreams, with a twinkle in his eye
Moved by the universe and everything in store
He felt like a bird in the world, he could soar

But as a young teen, it wasn’t a fun scene
When his folks broke up he was torn at the seams
Seeing fighting, who's wrong, who's right, caught in between
So worried, so hurried, no time, no green

Lo one day, clicking on the TV
He was caught by the screen thinking, "That could be me!"
Through this epiphany, he found true purpose
Knew that it'd be harder than hell
But it'd be worth it

Many made fun, none would condone
The fact he'd be leaving back all he called home
Even so, he phones friends to go and hit the road
Now he’s off on a mission because he knows…

[CHORUS]
You only get one chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key that could be for one of many doors
You can do anything, the choice is yours
But you get one chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key that could be for one of many doors
You can do anything, the choice is yours

[VERSE 2]
His first attempt fails, so do two through ten
People tell him he’s an idiot to try it again
Each friend went from belief to bereft
Packed up, backed out, stuck him with the bills, then they left

Now it’s been weeks since the sheep brought sleep
When the power went out, and there was anything to eat
He’s trying to ignore that the landlord is at the door
Hiding in the bathroom, lying on the floor

Mayday! Life raft lost on the waves
He's adrift watching as his ship is slipping away
When communique finally came it said,
"Dear John, I've had affairs, but who cares, 'cause you're gone."

No one understands it’s his plan to succeed
Why he’d give up everything, why he sweats, why he bleeds
‘Cause he sees with these dreams come bumps in the road
But nothing’s gonna stop him, in his heart he knows...

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]
One day he gets a letter, one man, one fan
“Everything you've done makes me feel now I can.
Life is bright and all is right, you’ve got an ally now, 
I’ve got your back in this fight!"

That one turned into hundreds, hundreds into thousands
Thousands into countless, all across the land 
‘Cause they feel the same, and together they stand 
From the seed that was planted by a dreaming young man

Touring the world, big crowds, big shows,
Big bucks, photos, autographs where he goes
Found those of his family and bona fide friends
Made sure nobody ever had to worry again

Then at the end is when he met his biggest fan
It was just a little boy, holding his mom’s hand
As they stand for a photo the boy looks to the sky
Thinking big dreams, with a twinkle in his eye...

[CHORUS]
One chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key that could be for one of many doors
You can do anything, the choice is yours
But you get one chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key that could be for one of many doors
You can do anything, the choice is yours

[FINAL CHORUS]
One chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key for so many doors
You can do anything, the choice is yours 
‘Cause you get one chance, one life to live
One heart, one soul, one time to give
One key for many doors
You can have it all, the choice is yours

Death Ground

Choice Is Yours

The song 'Rise' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'Death Ground'.

LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
This is the end of every act that has been 
Where the back gets packed and the when gets penned
Primed by a line, then a sine into waves
Finally aligned, we can flip this phase

First stage: Attain unity gain
Through reverse attenuation of our own domain 
Where the maimed to do not feign who they are
Armored in beauty marks fools call scars

Feet of clay need to be beat 
No throwing out shade to avoid the heat
See, the ravine between weak and strong
Both may fall, but one goes on

Fate, a slate, the gate awaits
But the fight’s right now, might as well be great
Amputate the dead weight, sever all ties
It’s time for you to...
 
[CHORUS]
Rise (Rise!)
Put ‘em up (Aye!)
Reach out and seize what needs to be realized

(Rise!)
Between the eyes
Where the elevation lies we rise

(Rise!)
Calling out (Aye!)
Throw down a rope of hope and open the skies 
For you and I
So we can rise

[VERSE 2]
Push through all hues black and blue, 
Pull back from the pack, aim high, and shoot true 
Better unfettered, not tethered together to
Has-beens, have-nots, those who never do

Others and their druthers can negate great plans
‘Cause people hate what they fear, what they don’t understand
The mettle of a man is four nines fine
So preserve your neural net worth and pay no mind

Cash in the fact the past is aft ash
But the present is a gift and the future can be vast
Though the act of protracted battle is a dark art
Those who have the heart are gonna make their mark

I see thee suffused in solution
What used to be a seedling has sprouted revolution
Bask in a class, ever-summing in size
Come one, come all, and rise

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]
Speech that’ll reach and is worthy to teach
Can be a lost soul's sought scroll, sermon of the streets
But bastions of action don’t just defer to words
Truth is a scene, it is not a herd

To the battle-born, war torn, beaten and bruised
The muted, forgotten, abandoned, abused 
The view of few, that’s gone unheard
It’s now time for you to hear and heed these words

Thoughts get myopic when not on the mission
But, seeing eye-to-eye is the way we share a vision
May this wisdom and all it implies be fuel for you to…

[FINAL CHORUS]
Rise (Rise!)
Put ‘em up (Aye!)
Reach out and seize what needs to be realized

(Rise!)
In between the eyes
Where the elevation lies we rise

(Rise!)
Let it ride (Aye!)
Throwing out all the doubts that cloud the skies
All allies, now we can rise

Rise

The song 'No Surrender' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'Death Ground'.

LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
Attack!
Ranks in a phalanx from front to back
Primed to bite, height of our might, and right on track
Cognizance stance, no scission on the advance
So though unbeknownst, the opposition stands no chance

Focus with no fuss, the onus is on us
Our lone allowed endeavor is now or never
All together 
Destined with fates entwined
To forever
Guided by a future right in view 
For us to ride on through

[CHORUS]
Onto the open road
Unknown, but not alone
Ready, steady 
Heading to a place that waits for us to make it so

With lives alight
We’ll fight and brightly burn
Until the urn, return to sender
No retreat, no surrender
 
[VERSE 2]
Onward!
Churning through subterfuge used
You can see the white flag is just a body bag 
There is no truce

Crusading on the plain of a sanguinary campaign
Maintain ‘cause any creed worth bleeding for is not in vain

The ailment of failure is A6 contagious
To stave off the strain just remain courageous

I beseech you
Be who you seek to find
Make due, break through
To the other side
With the toll in full we pay today 
We’re free to go all the way

[CHORUS]

[FINAL CHORUS]
Onto the open road
Unknown, but not alone
Ready, steady 
Heading to a place that waits for us to make it so

With our lives alight
We’ll fight and brightly burn
Until the urn, return to sender
There will be (No surrender!)
No retreat (No surrender!)
Up on our feet, yeah we go, whoa-oh…

No Surrender

The song 'March' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'Death Ground'.

LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
Moving in unity, puppets on strings swing 
Trapped in captivity, strapped to vapid things
All living in oblivion, optical obsidian 
Locked in a box, taught not to ever come out again

Forfeiting freedoms, gorging their illusions 
Scores of orchestrations, forging more confusion
Fusing collusion, gimmicks, and greed
The blue bloods will cut you just for fun to watch you bleed

The artfulness in this artifice
It’s crafted very clearly
Get in line, do what you’re told
Or my dear you’ll suffer dearly
Plant the placebos, impregnate the minds
Have people feeling helpless, not some, but all of the time

Vitality to banality, machine assimilation 
Lubricated by lifeblood and herd perspiration
Deities are now digital and glamour is God 
No longer Allahu Akbar, it’s all a facade

Docility, servility, subservient meekness
Open obedience to feed on the weakest
Praising the pixels of holographic heroes
Keep it up and we’ll be the ones who are zeroes

[PRE-CHORUS 1]
This isn’t trite, get up, we’ve gotta fight!

[CHORUS]
Left, right, left, right, left, right
Through the night
Left, right, left, right, left, right 
Into the light
Left, right, left, right, left, right 
With full hearts
Left, right, left, right
Sound off 
We march!

[VERSE 2]
Moving in unity, brothers in stride 
Eyes set to the horizon, fire in the sky 
All side by side, pacing proudly in a pride
Like lions to Zion, not afraid to die

These sages for change, who flew from the cage
Headstrong, chains gone, en route to engage
In range as the first shot sails from beyond
Arms drawn, they respond screaming, "Bring it on!”

We, the elite freed fleet agreed allegiance
A creed to decimate any breed or deed deemed egregious:
Fame floozies, low lives, the onanistic
So twisted, their own existence is just scripted

Hive minds who fly blind and vie for validation
From serpents who serve lies and gilded temptations
Soft times, soft spines, lined up to be melded
Mankind is standing at the vet to get gelded

No more, it's war!
For order to restore
What's unjust must be gored at the tip of liberty's sword
Oh, no telegnosis to tell you I know this
History is fixed, but the future exists in your fists

[PRE-CHORUS 2]
You and I, no try, it’s do or die!

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]
If you think my diatribe is a far cry, I’ll hit you with some wisdom
We may be merely days away from baby’s brains with chips in them 
You wanna roll the dice? Be my guest.
As for the rest of us, we'll be in this quest, abreast, while we have breath, contesting...

[CHORUS]

March

The song 'The One' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'Death Ground'.

LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
Behold: 
Refined like silver and gold
Purified by the fiery blaze and made bold
Tested by the stresses of pressure, the best moves through
Losing all the rest, whom the heat consumes

Be True: 
Our lives are defined
By the moments that we seize and what we leave behind
Like planned obsolescence, the clock cannot be messed with
A blink of an eye will pass by, then you hit the exit

That’s it!
Wake up and open the blinds
You've been blessed with a finite window of time to shine through

Be You:
Come what may,
Shout out into the skyline and proudly proclaim…

[CHORUS]
I am the one (The one!)
Beneath the sun, lungs breathing for a reason that I will not shun
I am the one (The one!)
Here to become what never has, nor ever will again be done
I’m the one (The one!)
Under the gun, revved up to the red line, ready to run
A sole singularity, secondary to none
I (I!) am 
I am the one

[VERSE 2]
My nickname is The Big Bang, I came out of nowhere
To knock off the top spots and leave ‘em screaming, “No fair!”
Beware: This token is only prose
For greatness isn't spoken, it's what a man shows

Let's go!
My volition is torrential
Hail and reign for the tempest of potential
Third is absurd, second just won't do, that only leaves Uno
You know who...

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
We all wield power without weaponry or size
Each thought brought into this world can change lives
So dive from the sidelines, get off the fence and
Utilize this vital time where you and I can make a difference

Bear witness!
The day has arrived
For every single soul to stop and take a look inside
Life is yours to decide, but it’s time to choose (come on!)
5,4,3,2…

[CHORUS]

[FINAL CHORUS]
The one, beneath the sun
Lungs breathing for a reason that I will not shun
I am the one (The one!)
Here to become what never has, nor ever will again be done
I’m the one (The one!)
Under the gun, primed up at the white line, ready to run
A soul singularity, secondary to none
I (I!) am 
I am the one

'Till kingdom come
I (I!) am
I am the one

The One

The song 'Burn' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'Death Ground'.

LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
The hunt is underway
Where predator becomes the prey
Sparks arc and dark explodes
Sweating bullets in the open
Oh, they’ve been exposed

In the bright, where the dim don't glow
All the lights rise and the shadows show
Douching solution, feel the fuel flow
Match drop, flash, pop, boom
There you go
 
[CHORUS]
Burn
It’s a blazing purge
Burn
Razing all the scourge
Burn
In flames, with tables turned
It’s time the futile learn, breathe the fumes and burn

[VERSE 2]
Flambeaux all aglow
Fulgurate the vulgar foe
Benzene dreams ignite our side
All lighting up the night so that you cannot hide

Stoking the smoke, we bellows blow
Choking every stratum of the status quo
Oh, how low can one man go?
Waking in the red lake below
Now you know

[CHORUS]

[BREAKDOWN]
Let us count the ways…

(1) This has only begun
(2) For we, the true
(3) The time has come
(4) To see this through

(1) This has only begun
(2) A sum is due
(3) So where you run 
(4) We will pursue

(1) This has only begun
(2) We’re coming through
(3) Do you hear the roar?
(4) Come on, one more

(1) This has only begun
(2) And there’s nothing you can do
(3) Your chums are done
Now we’re coming for you
 
Now that the worm has turned, time for you to…

[CHORUS]

[FINAL CHORUS]
Burn
It’s a blazing purge
Burn
Razing all the scourge
Burn
In flames, with tables turned
It’s time the futile learn, breathe the fumes and
Time you come to terms, see the view
To whom it may concern, there’s room for you too…

Burn

The song 'Here to Stay' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'Death Ground'.

LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
I am a ghost
The very thing that all fear the most
Not a man of flesh and blood (no!)
An apparition, a vision with no form
A mind inside the eye of a cyclone

I, encapsulating all space and time
Indefinably infinite (right!)
All coalescing together we make scores
A one chord fermata forevermore

[PRE-CHORUS]
Through all the wind and the rain, we remain
No matter the hurt or the pain, we don’t wane 
Whether weak or strong, we soldier on
Into the clear, void of fear 

[CHORUS]
We’re (We’re!)
Here (Here!)
No, we’re not going away (now everybody say) 
We’re (We’re!)
Here (Here!)
We’re here to stay

[VERSE 2]
Obey or take the reins
Make your choice
Raise stakes and wake your voice
Though take heed, every breath that you breathe
Will sow the seeds of the legacy that you will leave

We (repeat), we hold the keys to possibility
See, nothing can dim the light that we shine when
Our deeds will echo for all time

[PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

Here to Stay

The song 'Countdown' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'Death Ground'.

Countdown

The song 'Death Ground' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'Death Ground'.

LYRICS:
[VERSE 1]
All in, fall out, fate is calling, go time, no doubt
Locked in and on a route
Headlong, headstrong
Beckoned by the trek I’m meant on
And just like that I’m gone

Dogged on the trail, drawn to the dawn beyond the pale
A long and roaming climb to this moment in time
And now I'm…

[CHORUS]
Up on the precipice, one shot that I cannot miss
With bridges burned, wholly in the zone of no return
Although all that I know is risked on this only throw
My soul is bold, devoted to a solemn oath I hold:

I will stand and defend
My life, my fight, until the end
Head high, I am bound
No backing up or turning around
This is death ground

[VERSE 2]
Left on my own, by threshing of the flesh I am honed
And so my will is shown
Chasing safety, never came to save me safely
I firewalk alone

Tossing all the dross, forging a way in an ireful fray
To the destined land through the dust and sand
Oh, I must, I know, so, I am...

[CHORUS]

[FINAL CHORUS]
Now I’m…
Up on the precipice, one shot that I cannot miss
With bridges burned, fully in the zone of no return
And even although it’s all we know 
We’ll risk it on this only go
For the soul is made whole
Devoted to a common goal we can hold

I will stand and defend
My life, my fight, until the end
Head high, I am bound
No backing up or turning around
This is death ground

Here to Stay (Single)

Avery Watts - Here to Stay

The instrumental 'It Begins' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

The Takeover

It Begins

The song 'A Cut Above' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[CHORUS]
Here's what it looks like (Looks like)
Being the best
What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest
What it looks like (Looks like)
Being the best
What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest

[VERSE 1]
Nobody understands what it takes to be the man
Having every single person say you can't, when you can
To give up everything you've ever known for a dream
And never stop the fight no matter how hard it seems
You sacrifice, you bleed, you sweat, and you cry
Doing everything you can not to lay down and die
When you fall and you call out, there's no one to help
So you've got no other option but to pick up yourself
At the end of the battle you're the only one standing
Everyone watching, the stage you're commanding
The pages of history will speak of today
And when they talk about the champion
This is what they'll say:

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 2]
People will break you right down to nothing if you let 'em
They say, "There's a million others like you, what makes you better?"
But remember that these folks are afraid of the unknown
They're the ones who wet the bed if they go ten miles from home
“Stay Down”, is what they scream in your ear
The only weapon that they have to use is fear
So you take all the beatings and you take all the hits
But your back on your feet for more, you don't quit
You'll never back down, never stop, never pause
Never give up, never sacrifice the cause
This is your life, you gonna let somebody take it?
Look in the mirror: That's all you need to make it

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
The smoke has all cleared, and you own the throne
You're king of the castle, and everybody knows
They bow in your presence, and fear your might
‘Cause they know for damn sure what it, what it…

[FINAL CHORUS]
What it looks like (Looks like)
Being the best
What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest
What it looks like (Looks like)
Being the best
What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest
What it looks like (Looks like)
Being the best
What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest
What it looks like (Looks like)
Being the best
What it looks like, to be a cut above the rest

A Cut Above

The song 'Right Now' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[VERSE 1]
We’ve broken down the walls tonight
No longer are we trapped inside
We’ve all seen the rising tide
The writing on the wall has kept us alive

But now has come the time to attack
To even the score, bring the balance back
The plan set, the blueprints burned
We’re on our way to claim what we have earned

[PRE-CHORUS]
These our words, this our song:
We have but one another, I rely on you my brother
We take this vow, to show the world how
The future is in our hands right now 

[CHORUS]
This is the hour
Right now
We have the power
Right now
No more lies 
This is the moment, the bold now rise
Right now
This is the hour
Right now
Now we have the power
Right now
No time to wait around 
‘Cause this is your life right now

[VERSE 2]
As we march to the gates
Revolution about to take place
A call heard, the signal is made
The mortar blasts away as we invade

Judgment day has finally arrived
This is for the ones who barely survived
We’re not afraid to stand for what’s right
And this definitely isn’t going down without a fight

[PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

[BREAKDOWN]
We’ve had enough
We’re calling your bluff
Hands in the air
Stick ‘em up

[PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

Right Now

The song 'Our World' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[VERSE 1]
Wake up
This is the real deal, not a test
Now society is calling out an S.O.S.
Get down on the ground, put the earth to your ear
You feel that sound? That’s revolution you hear

Welcome to the greatest battle of all time
We’ve just officially been targeted by our own kind 
The time has arrived, now were sounding the alarm
Man up, grab your loved ones, get everybody armed

Prime all the triggers and try to remain calm
As we gather all the weapons and prepare the bomb
Now we got it on lockdown, we’re ready to go,
Get on the radio, send it out, let everybody know

The threat is getting closer, the sky is turning gray
It’s right on the horizon, today is the day
It’s within the city limits, rolling fast like a mist
Now we’re caught up in the midst this is it
The apocalypse

Since the very beginning of mankind
In every generation, every era in time
There has always come an instant where we must define 
Who we are as a people when we must cross the line
  
This is that moment, now you’re gonna find
Exactly what you’re really made of inside
When it comes right down to it whatcha gonna choose: 
To proudly hold your ground or just lie down and lose?

The brave at the frontlines, ready for war
The enemy approaching outside the door
Dust off your voice box, time to be heard
And as the gate drops we’ll be screaming these words:

[CHORUS]
This is our world, our streets, our war
Our lives – This is what we fight for
Our choice – To make the wrong things right with
Our voice – We bring day to the night

This is our world, our streets, our war
Our lives – This is what we fight for
Our choice – We’re the voice of the globe
Turn up the volume so everybody knows
This is our world

[PRE-VERSE 2]
(Ladies and gentlemen: May we please have your undivided attention as our featured guest speaker now takes the stage…)

[VERSE 2]
Camaraderie is an oddity now in this age
Silence becomes violence when it’s mixed with rage
Tragedies and death, they say it’s all a phase
Society lying to me, it’s on the front page

Homicides, genocides, can’t run the streets
If you’re saggin’ and you’re flaggin’ it’s cold, you keep heat
I understand your plan, be strong not weak
My gut feelin’ is this killin’ goin’ make us obsolete

Let’s defy, not rely on negativity
We gotta makeover, takeover these communities
Analyze, capitalize, opportunities
Speaking of change ain’t strange 
It all starts with me and you. So what you gonna do?
Close your eyes and glide ‘till your life is through?
We’ve got work to do.  We’re gonna start, know how?
By saying these words right here, right now:

[CHORUS]

[PRE-VERSE 3]
(You gonna stand by and just let somebody run your life? You gonna let somebody tell you what to do? This is your world; you make the rules, you make the difference…)

[VERSE 3]
You think one man don’t make a difference, think again
‘Cause I just started an army picking up a pen

This begins a global collaboration
To take the whole world and make but one nation
This ain’t no imitation, what you’re hearing is elite
That’s why everything stops when you hear us speak

Oh, back to the mission at hand, we’ve got a plan
Take the message that were sending and spread it across the land
It’s in black and white, it’s been written, been read
Now let every single syllable settle into your head

As it slowly resonates from your mind to your feet
We’ll make the earthquake from stomping this beat
‘Cause if you’re hearing this right now the battle’s been won
It’s spreading my friend, the takeover has begun

[CHORUS]

Our World

The song 'Stand' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[VERSE 1]
I'm standing at the edge of space and time
Deciding if my being alive is a crime
And if I jump and sail out into the abyss
How much will I really miss? 

I'm inching closer, closer to my fate
Lacking a backup plan or escape
And I'm just about to finally go and move ahead
When a voice calls out to me
Here's what it said:

[CHORUS]
(Stand)
Every woman and man
This is a call for all to rise up and stand
(Stand)
Every woman and man
Raise up your voice and say that I can
(Stand)
Every woman and man
This is a call for all to rise up and 
All rise up and say, “I can!”

[VERSE 2]
Get back up on your feet
You’re much too strong to quit on me
Now dry your eyes and brace your back 
Prepare for warfare 
Here comes the attack

You’re nearly there, so don’t you stop
Making your very own way to the top
And when you see your victory
Together we will be
We’re now free

[CHORUS]

[BREAKDOWN]
Everybody now…
“I can!”

Oh! (Oh!)
Yeah! (Yeah!)
Oh! (Oh!)
1, 2, 3…
Go!

[CHORUS]

Stand

The song 'The Core' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[VERSE 1]
I stand as one of the elite
You cannot cut me from a sheet
I’m free and out of your control
So you can try, but you’ll never take my soul

I do not fit under a thumb
Born ready, now the time has come
Take a look around, I am not alone
So if you’re down, then let it be known 

[PRE-CHORUS]
Count me in, no matter where or when
I’m in this until the end 

[CHORUS]
We (We) 
Are (Are)
All (All) 
Something more
We (We) 
Are (Are)
The (The) 
We are the core 

[VERSE 2]
We are united by a code
We walk a narrow winding road
We’re more than anything you’ve got
‘Cause we’re made of everything you’re not

We won't be stopped
Try it and you'll get dropped
Do you want some more?
Sound off, who’s ready for war?

[PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

The Core

The song 'Enough' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[VERSE 1]
Go into the mind of the everyday grind, of the blind in the darkness
What do we find? It's a kind of confinement combined with pain 
Aligned by mankind and set to drain

Stuck in a 9 to 5 to stay alive 
Living in a dive to barely survive
The whole time you try to get ahead, 
Just to get a little peace before you get dead, ‘nuff said.

Since your very birth, since your first breath on earth
It seems that life has been preordained
The order that it goes in? I'll explain:

Welcome to the world, go to school, get a job, 
Get married, have a kid, be a dad, be a mom, move along
Don't think, don't stop, don't dream
Everything in the world is exactly how it seems

Were told how to look, how to act, how to feel
What's good, what's bad, what's fake, what's real
And when times get tough and it's hard to deal
Just pick your poison and the pain will heal

Got the blues? There's plenty of booze to choose 
Drugs to use, money to lose
You don't need to educate yourself on the truth 
That's already done on the evening news

Born to lead, but we act like cattle
Not anymore, get ready for the battle
Sick of it all? Then get one fist up and
Scream at the top of your lungs, hey...

[CHORUS]
That's enough (That’s enough)
Throw those hands in the air
Get 'em up (Get ‘em up)
Show we've had it up to here
That's enough (That’s enough)
Throw those hands in the air
Get 'em up (Get ‘em up)
Show we've had it up to here
That’s enough

[VERSE 2]
Put your seatbelt on, prepare for a collision 
'Cause those who see with the eyes of the blind 
They lack vision

Work, eat, sleep, wake, repeat
8 by 5 by countless weeks
Coffee, copies, floppies, faxes
Troubles, traffic, caskets, taxes

Fact is media sees 
We find life's answers in magazines
But why even read? 
Everything that you need to believe is on a box we call the TV

Don't think another thought
Stop, erase, forget what you've been taught
You can cheat what you don't know
Let's break it on down: Here we go 

Your brain?  Bake it.
Waist?  Fake it.
Don't have money for it?  Ha, just take it.
Your hair?  Dye it.
Courage?  Buy it.
This will make it bigger overnight, just try it

Go into the world and make a name
Or just do it online, in a video game
You can stay inside until you scream
And live your life in front of a screen
It's sickening

What have we become?
You're better than all that, don't play dumb
It's never too late to change all this stuff
Don't be afraid, stand up, say...

[CHORUS]

[VERSE 3]
All this pissin' and dissin' and bitchin' got me on a mission
My ambition got you wishin' you weren't in the position
To be the personal ignition of my lyrical rage
I'm out the cage, blowing off the ever-lovin' chain
Insane!

To put it plain mein, I'm gone
I'm the bane of all existence from this day on
If you want more, that man I be 
I'll snatch your eyes out 'cha head before you get a chance to see
Who me?

That's right son, best believe it
'Cause unlike some when I say it, I mean it
I'm droppin' tricky tongue tracks when I put out the wax
Now let's bring the hook back so everybody can relax

[CHORUS]

Enough

The song 'This Is War' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[VERSE 1]
Look in the sky, the circle is rising
The Second Seal is broken, The Red Horse riding
The wolf is at your door and there’s no hiding
Get ready for the crimson to pour
Yeah, this is war

[CHORUS 1]
War (It’s war)
War (That’s right)
War
It’s time to settle the score
So now, this is war

[VERSE 2]
There’s no surrender, you will expire
All the paper tigers have caught on fire
We’re piling up the bodies and there’s your pyre
You really should have listened before
Now this is war 

[CHORUS 2]
War (It’s war)
War (That’s right)
War
It’s time to settle the score
So now, this is war
War (It’s war) 
War (Right!)
War
No mercy, no bargains, no more
This is war 

[BREAKDOWN]
Soldiers prepare to engage in 3, 2, 1…Go!

(Squad up!)

Heavenly Father, give me the strength to do what I must for myself, 
My people, and those without a voice to defend themselves
In the name of freedom, Amen.

[FINAL CHORUS]
War
War
War
It’s time to settle the score
So now, this is war
War (It’s war)
War (Die!)
War
No mercy, no bargains, no more
This is war

You wanna take us on?
You better bring an army!
War!

This Is War

The song 'Who I Am' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[VERSE 1]
I've spent years on the scene and I've done my time
I was never given anything, I've earned what's mine
I defy all lines, I will not retreat
You can't buy me, I spit right in the face of defeat

This is my class: Top brass, a bold breed
A caliber conceived, birthed, and born to lead
To be the first pick, first string, first in, front line
Screaming into the sky, "The world is mine!"

I define defiance, represent rebellion
Embody true autonomy, have been through hell
And still do what I choose, been battered and bruised
Yeah, I've taken many beatings and gladly paid all my dues
But I refuse to dummy down and follow the herd
I'm gonna say what I believe and stand by my word
See, I've never known the taste of a silver spoon
Never took the blue pill, not to mention I'm immune

Can't be controlled, won't do what I'm told
I'm not a number, a name tag, or fit into a mold
As my story unfolds I will proudly stand
Forever unapologetically
I don't give a damn, this is...

[CHORUS]
Who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It’s who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world is you
This is who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It’s who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world is you

[VERSE 2]
Substance with every single syllable I bring
'Cause you can talk all day long and never say a thing
We don't even need the music for me to convey I'm not playing
I'll write it out in braille, you can feel what I'm saying
That’s real

No facade, I will never be part of propped up pop propaganda, fake art
With no heart, no soul, I cannot be sold
I'll be the bright light in a dark mine that's black as coal
Whether I'm mocked, blocked or knocked, still I'll never stop
Like a rock, as consistent as hands on a clock
You can bet I'm gonna be locked, loaded, ready for a test
I don't walk and talk, I do better than the best
No vest on my chest, I'm not afraid to die
I've been blessed, so I live every minute I'm alive
And I take this vow, while I'm here above ground
Never will I ever back up or bow down
This is…

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
When death comes to get me, I've got no regrets
I threw it all on the table when I placed my bet
Said it all, did it all, and I'd do it again just so…
So the world will know…

[FINAL CHORUS]
Who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It’s who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world is you
This is who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It’s who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world is… (Come on!)
This is who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It’s who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world is you
This is who I am, what I believe
This is who I am, with every breath I breathe
It’s who I am, tried and true
The only thing to be in this world (Is what?)
Well, the only thing to be in this world is you (Come on!)
Everything you are in this world is you

Who I Am

The song 'Everyone' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[VERSE 1]
We live our daily lives in silence as the time flies by
But tonight, I’m rising up to let it all out
My every hope and doubt
And everything I’ve dreamed about
It’s mine, to seize in this moment now
Before the light is gone
Before the final curtain is drawn
I’m calling out to everyone (Everyone!)

[CHORUS]
Can you hear me screaming?
Can’t you see we’re bleeding?
Oh, I’m calling out to everyone (Everyone!)
Lost all sense and feeling
But the pain is only fleeting
Yeah, all is clear when fear is gone 
(When fear is gone!)
This is a wake-up call (Wake-up call)
The choice is yours to take
You gotta know that
Destiny is what you make

[VERSE 2]
I’ve seen it in your eyes
A longing for the changing tides
Well it’s time, it’s time to cross that line
The time to all be strong
To make a right from all these wrongs
I’m calling out to everyone (Everyone!)

[CHORUS]

[FINAL CHORUS]
Can you hear me screaming?
Can’t you see we’re bleeding?
I’m calling out to everyone (Everyone!)
Lost all sense and feeling
But the pain is only fleeting
Yeah, all is clear when fear is gone 
(When fear is gone!)
This is a wake-up call (Wake-up call)
The choice is ours to take
Yeah, you gotta know that
Destiny is what we make

Everyone

The song 'Criminal' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[VERSE 1]
I’m on the run, so come and catch me if you can
I bet you didn’t know that I’m a wanted man
I won’t be very long, hope you miss me while I’m gone
I love you

They’re out to get me so I gotta lay low
No time to stick around I gotta be a ghost
I’ll call from every town and let you know that I’m around 

[CHORUS]
Whether I’m north, down south, east, or out west
I’m never without you, baby you’re the best
I love you, I need you, and honey I want you to know
My heart is true and my word sincere
Even if right now I can’t be near
Sorry to keep this all so minimal
See you soon sincerely,
Your criminal

[VERSE 2]
Some people seem to think that I’m the bad guy
The root of every problem in their family lives
But secretly they fear what they’re seeing in the mirror
It’s so clear

‘Cause all the others, they can barely wait
They’re marking my arrival by the calendar date
They wanna have fun so we rock and then I run
To the next state

[CHORUS]

[FINAL CHORUS]
Whether I’m north, down south, east, or out west
I’m never without you, baby you’re the best
I love you, I need you, and honey I want you to know
My heart is true and my word sincere
Even if right now I can’t be near
Sorry to keep this all so minimal
Don’t you worry now I’ll be home soon
Always thinking of you,
Your criminal

I’m just a criminal
Call me a criminal
I’m just a criminal (A what?!)
A criminal

Criminal

The song 'Survive' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[VERSE 1]
You walk among the blind
With your future undefined
You stare as history repeats

But go into your mind
And try to find
What leads you to your destiny 

[PRE-CHORUS]
Here we stand, for all time
Together we'll defy the darkest nights
So take my hand, hold on tight
We'll never die
You know we will survive

[CHORUS]
We
Will
Survive 

[VERSE 2]
The battle has begun
Will you stand and overcome
Or be shot down by self-defeat?

Riding on the line
You'll choose a side
And we will see a victory

[PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

[PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

Survive

The song 'Home' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[VERSE 1]
By myself for some time
There’s nothing in my life
And everything I see reminds me of the pain

It seems these days just never end
And I’m my only friend
What better way to start again?

[PRE-CHORUS]
But with this time will come a reason
Together we will see a changing of the season
This is what we really need
And when I say “We”
I mean you and me

[CHORUS]
Let’s go
We’ll leave
Make all new memories
I need to know
Please show me
Take me home

Let’s go
We’ll leave
Make all new memories
I need to know
Please save me
Take me home

[VERSE 2]
How could I forget the times
With no one by my side?
I’d trade it all for just one chance at something new

The time has come to stop this game
And throw away the shame
We can make this go away

[PRE-CHORUS]

[CHORUS]

[FINAL CHORUS]
Let’s go
We’ll leave
Make all new memories
I need to know
Please show me
Take me home

Let’s go
We’ll leave
Make all new memories
I need to know
Please save me
Take me home
Please save me
Please save me (Save me!)
Take me home

Home

The song 'The Takeover' by Avery Watts, off of the album 'The Takeover'.

LYRICS:

[VERSE 1]
(This is how it begins…)
Cock back the hammer, the takeover has begun
We're millions strong now, all united as one
We compose the whole globe from the east to the west
And if seeing is believing, you're looking at the best

Patiently wait, anticipating the arrival
Of a crew to lead the whole world through and shine a light
So we can make it through these dark times and spread a new word
For now is the moment
And we will be heard

[CHORUS]
We
One youth, one nation
We
One generation
We
United like soldiers
We 
We are the takeover

We
One youth, one nation
We
One generation
We
United like soldiers
We 
We are the takeover

[VERSE 2]
We've been through so many years of tears, sacrifice, and pain
Gave buckets of sweat, drip-dried our last vein
Watched everything we've ever loved forever say goodbye
But instead of killing us, it brought us to life

We live each day to the fullest now and we choose to make a change
In return our own existence is what we exchange
If we have to give up everything to do something great
We are ready, we are willing
'Cause this is our fate

[CHORUS]

[BRIDGE]
We are the...
We are the...
We are the...
On your feet!

[CHORUS]

LYRICS:

ESTRIBILLO (CHORUS)
Así se mira (¡MIRA!), siendo mayor
Así se mira, ser lo mejor

VERSO UNO (VERSE 1)
Cuando escriben el libro de tu vida 
Que va a decir la gente que no te conocían y los que te quieran
En eso que tu piensas cada día que te discriminen cortando sus ojos cuando te miran 
¡Mejor no respiran!
Que se ahogan en las lágrimas y sangre que se cae de su cuerpo cuando ganaras la guerra 
Esta tirando fuego en una casa de hielo 
Una existencia de grandeza se parezca si no tiene miedo 
Si no hay comida no hay nada, tengo hambre de vivir y estoy en olla sin cuchara 
A pues nunca puedo parar hasta que yo tengo suficiente para enseñar la gente que no crean. 

VERSO DOS (VERSE 2)
No sea cobarde ya la hora esta tarde 
No digo que tu tienes el poder para regañar te 
En esta ley, tu tienes que ésta seguro 
Soy el rey de mi mundo y mi compa tu de tuyo 
Te lo juro que destruyo con mi mente
Que es más puro que le bala que se largan en la noche a lo oscuro 
¡Duro!
¿Estamos cloro o yo estoy solo? 
Yo quiero estar brillando envuelto en oro
Y no lo encuentra raro que estamos aquí sudando trabajando y te miran como esclavo
¡Ya no! Puedo estoy cogiendo el mío. 
No puedes vivir tu sueños si tu estas dormido!
 
PUENTE (BRIDGE)
Mis hermanos, Mis hermanas
Llegó la día, no hay mañana!
Ahora se demuestra si tu tienes ganas morir por algo o vivir por nada.
