We don't go to Ravenholm

"We don't go to Ravenholm"

(Intro)

Verse 1:
In the shadows of the City, there's a place we fear to tread
Where the zombies and the headcrabs make their lair
Father Grigori's the only one who dares to face the dread
In the town that's been abandoned to despair

Pre-Chorus:
But if you find yourself in need to pass through this domain
Heed the warning that the locals all will say

Chorus:
We don't go to Ravenholm, where the dead come back to life
We don't go to Ravenholm, where the zombies hunt at night
The streets are filled with danger, and the buildings all are cursed In
Ravenholm, your worst nightmares come first!

Verse 2:
Grigori's traps and turrets are the only safety net
In a town where Hell itself has come to play
The headcrabs leap from nowhere, poison zombies never let
A moment's peace for those who come this way

Pre-Chorus:
Oh if you must brave Ravenholm, be sure to watch your back
And pray that Father Grigori's watching too

Chorus:
We don't go to Ravenholm, where the poison headcrabs strike
We don't go to Ravenholm, if you want to stay alive
The traps may buy you time, but no safety can be found
In Ravenholm, the dead are all around!

Bridge:
The crows are watching from the wires, the graves all open wide
The church bells toll the coming of your doom
No matter how you fight or run, there's no place you can hide
In Ravenholm, the dead will seal your tomb!

(Solo)

Final Chorus:
We don't go to Ravenholm, where the zombies never die!
We don't go to Ravenholm, unless we have to try
To make it through the nightmare, and reach the other side
Of Ravenholm, where terror and death abide!

(Outro)

"Dark Energy"

(Intro)

Verse 1:
Deep within the Citadel's core, where dark energy flows
Freeman and Alex, in the belly of their foe
Breen's mekanations, a portal to combine
A gateway to enslavement, for all humankind

Pre-Chorus:
But our heroes won't surrender, they'll fight 'til the end
To shatter Breen's illusions, and the Combine's pretense

Chorus:
Dark Energy! The power that they wield
Dark Energy! Our fate it shall not seal
Freeman's here to stop them, and bring the Citadel down
Dark Energy won't keep us bound!

Verse 2:
The reactor's overloading, the Combine's last stand
Breen's making his escape, to the Combine's heartland
But Gordon won't let him, leave humanity forsaken
He'll destroy the portal, leave the Citadel shaken

Pre-Chorus:
It's do or die, this is our final chance
To end the occupation, and the Combine's advance

Chorus:
Dark Energy! We'll turn it against our foes
Dark Energy! And end this dystopian pose
We'll use their own power, to tear their schemes asunder
Dark Energy will be their blunder!

Bridge:

Alex is in danger, but Gordon won't leave her side
Together they'll face this, and turn this vicious tide
The Vortigaunts are with them, lending their mystic aid
To ensure the Combine's plans will be unmade!

(Solo)

Chorus Final:
Dark Energy! The Citadel's going to blow!
Dark Energy! It's time for Freeman's show
He'll plunge into the core, and sacrifice it all
For humanity's future, he'll answer the call!

(Outro)

"Growler on the side"

Verse 1:
Iron paradise, chrome and sweat
Middle-aged crisis, drowning in regret
Chemical courage pumping through my veins
Then she walked in, set fire to my chains
Silver fox with danger in her eyes
Every warning sign I'd rationalize
Wedding ring ignored, conscience pushed aside
Trading everything for this forbidden ride

Pre-Chorus:
Should've known better
Should've walked away
But the beast inside
Wanted her to stay

Chorus:
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
Playing with explosives, nowhere left to hide
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
When temptation calls, you're gonna pay the price

Verse 2:
Secret hotel rooms, lies upon lies
Testosterone and lust made me blind
Didn't ask about the man she left at home
Thought I was a king, just a fool alone
One fateful morning, heard the door crash in
Military boots, the reckoning begins
"Looks like we have a little problem here"
His words cut through me like a combat spear

Pre-Chorus:
Should've known better
Should've walked away
But the beast inside
Now has hell to pay

Chorus:
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
Playing with explosives, nowhere left to hide
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
When temptation calls, you're gonna pay the price

Breakdown:

Bridge:
Fists like hammers rain down on me
Wrestling like beasts, primal fury
Bear fighting salmon, survival of the strong
Every choice I made was wrong
Naked combat, stripped of all my pride
This is what you get with growlers on the side

Guitar solo:

Verse 3:
Broken bones and shattered dignity
Lesson learned in blood and agony
Stolen moments cost you everything
When you play these games, death's the only king

Final Chorus:
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
Chasing forbidden fruit, nowhere left to hide
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
Respect the boundaries or you'll pay the price
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
Some wars you wage, you'll never survive
Growler on the side! (On the side!)
Walk away clean or you won't leave alive!

Outro:
Don't be a growler on the side...
Don't be a growler on the side...

Growler on the Side

"GRINDCORE SURVIVOR"

VERSE 1
Clock in, new gig, the grind begins again
Lockdown hits hard, streets empty, world on end
Julie's burger van becomes my sacred ground
Beefy death on a bun, best poison I ever found
Double beast at Marlon's, grease dripping from my hands
Artery-clogging paradise in this quarantine wasteland

PRE-CHORUS
Can't stop, won't stop
Another shift, another bite
Heart pounds like a drum
But the food tastes right

CHORUS
I'm a survivor, living on borrowed time
Chest crushed by the weight of the grind
Four times down but i refuse to die
Blue collar legend, i'll never say goodbye

VERSE 2
First one hit me like a freight train collision
Second one came, I thought it was indigestion
Third strike nearly took me to the grave
But I crawled back up, too stubborn to behave
Walking out at shift's end, sweat pours like rain
"You need help, brother?" - "Nah, I'm good through the pain"

PRE-CHORUS
Can't stop, won't stop
Denial runs through my veins
Morning brings the truth
Four arteries in chains

CHORUS
I'M a survivor, living on borrowed time
Chest crushed by the weight of the grind
Four times down but i refuse to die
Blue collar legend, i'll never say goodbye

BRIDGE
Quadruple bypass on the surgeon's table
Cut me open, rewire what they're able
Steel and flesh, a second chance at breath
Dancing with the reaper, cheating death

Months of recovery, learning to stand
Scar tissue testament across this working man

BREAKDOWN
Back to the grind!
Back to the grind!
Nothing keeps me down!
Back to the grind!

FINAL CHORUS
I'm a survivor, legend of the floor
Four blocked arteries couldn't close the door
Quadruple bypass, stitched up, standing tall
Blue collar warrior, i'll never fall
Living to fight another day
Nothing's gonna take this life away
Julie's burgers and marlon's beast
Nearly made me the reaper's feast

OUTRO
But I'm still here... still breathing...
Back on the line... still bleeding...
Survivor... survivor... SURVIVOR!

Grindcore Survivor

"Beyond the Void"

Verse 1:
Staring at the stars, they're burning cold and dead
A billion years of silence screaming in my head
I clench my fists against this cosmic grinding wheel
Is there a hand that guides us, or is nothing real?

The prophets speak of purpose, but I'm drowning in the doubt
These chains of flesh and time won't let my spirit out
I'm reaching through the darkness for a sign I can't define
Is there meaning in this chaos, or just the march of time?

Chorus:
Show me there's more than endless pain!
More than the void that calls my name!
I won't believe we're born to break
There's got to be more at stake!
(Beyond the void, I'm searching still)
(Beyond the void, I'm bending will)

Verse 2:
They say that faith's a fortress, but mine's built on sand
Every question that I'm asking makes it harder to stand
The universe is silent, but my soul is screaming loud
If there's a divine creator, won't You part these clouds?

I've seen the weak devoured, watched the innocent decay
How can there be redemption in this merciless display?
But something in my chest won't let the ember die
A whisper saying "hold on," though I don't know why

Chorus:
Show me there's more than endless pain!
More than the void that calls my name!
I won't believe we're born to break
There's got to be more at stake!
(Beyond the void, I'm searching still)
(Beyond the void, I'm bending will)

Bridge:
In the silence... I am listening
In the darkness... something's glistening
Maybe grace... is in the reaching
Maybe truth... is in the seeking

Breakdown:
I refuse to bow to nothing!
I refuse to call this all!
If we're meant for more than suffering
Then I'm ready for the call!

Final Chorus:
There has to be more than endless pain!
More than the void that knows my name!
I won't surrender to the break — There's everything at stake!
(Beyond the void, I'm standing tall)
(Beyond the void, I'll give my all)

Outro:
Show me... there's something more...

Beyond the Void

"Ice Cream Tub Lunchbox"

Verse 1:
Punch the clock at 5 AM
Steel-toe boots and calloused hands
Your fancy box cost forty bucks?
Mine was free with chocolate chunks

Neapolitan salvation
Blue-collar innovation
Keeps my sandwich just as cold
While you're broke and I've got gold

Pre-Chorus:
You can keep your brand-name trash
I ain't spending my hard cash!

Chorus:
ICE CREAM TUB! LUNCHBOX!
Does the job, never stops!
ICE CREAM TUB! LUNCHBOX!
Old school pride, never bought!

Worked too hard for every dime
Won't throw it away this time!
ICE CREAM TUB! LUNCHBOX!
Real men know what strength costs!

Verse 2:
Twenty years on the factory floor
Learned what matters, nothing more
Function over fashion, son
Get the work and get it done

They can laugh, I don't care
Retirement fund's sitting there
While they're drowning in their debt
I'm the one who's winning yet

Pre-Chorus:
Keep your logos, keep your style
I'll be eating with a smile!

Chorus:
ICE CREAM TUB! LUNCHBOX!
Does the job, never stops!
ICE CREAM TUB! LUNCHBOX!
Old school pride, never bought!

Worked too hard for every dime
Won't throw it away this time!
ICE CREAM TUB! LUNCHBOX!
Real men know what strength costs!

Bridge:
My old man... taught me well
(Don't buy what they sell!)
Make it last... make it count
(Every goddamn cent amount!)

Wear it down... to the bone
(Everything I've earned, I own!)
This is how... we survive
(Keep the working class alive!)

Final Chorus:
ICE CREAM TUB! LUNCHBOX!
Does the job, never stops!
ICE CREAM TUB! LUNCHBOX!
Old school pride, never bought!

Worked too hard for every dime
Won't throw it away this time!
ICE CREAM TUB! LUNCHBOX!
REAL MEN KNOW WHAT STRENGTH COSTS!

Outro:
"Same lunch... same pride... forty years..."
