Ive never attempted singing a Rock song, and I was very trepedatious hearing Billy sing the original Concept with his astounding voice.. so saying I felt intimidated was an understatement! but he convinced me to give it a go, and I found the lyrics so immersive, it certainly helped me find that bittersweet place I was meant to find. The instrumental track was played by Bruno De Amaral, who did an exquisite job!! That ending is owed to you!   We hope you enjoy this song..

Lyrics
See the faceless scurry, shine a light
Feel the deadmen's fury, too weak to fight
If you can change you'll find a home inside...
Frozen shadows for the desolate to mourn,
Chosen gods close their eyes trying to ignore!
Searching for a beacon, where's the house of light?
Is there any hope left in this endless night?

Just take my hand my friend we'll make it through this American Darkness

Verse
Fall into your dreams for the comfort that you crave
Remembering illusions of the love that you gave
You can close your eyes I won't forget...
One by one the ties that hold us are breaking 
All the things we've known and loved suddenly escaping 

Chorus
Just take my hand my friend we'll make it through this American darkness

Bridge
Is the sun really gone? I thought I felt it die...
After you killed the dreamer because he tried to fly,
The idol spoke his words as all the believers wept, 
Then he vanished away with all the secrets he kept!

You can close your eyes... I won't forget..  You can close your eyes, I won't forget!

Just take my hand my friend we'll make it through this American Darkness
Just take my hand my friend we'll make it through this American Darkness!
Just take my hand my friend we'll make it through this American Darkness!
I won't forget...

Kings and Queens  - By Nat Daniels 

Dirty knees and torn up jeans
Running free through the fields
Chasing dreams lost in time
We were fearless, young and wild 

Oh those days seem to never end
The carelessness a summer lends
To simply be, who we dreamed we’d be 
An endlessness to time it seemed
 
Oh my friends we were Kings & Queens
Rulers of this universal sound, 
Remember who you used to be,
Live unafraid and make each day count

I should’ve called you up sometime
But time was not a friend of mine
I got crows feet, and a deepened frown,
But my eyes still see a child unbound  

And I know it’s been so hard
To keep the bills and fears at bay
But my friend, you’re not alone
And tomorrow's gonna be a better day 

Oh my friends we were Kings & Queens
Rulers of this universal sound 
Remember who you used to be
Live unafraid and make each day count

And when you’re low 
Just pick up the phone, 
And Remember the days with me..
The sun will shine, 
And you'll be fine..
As long as you Remember the days with me

Oh my friends! We’re still Kings & Queens
Rulers of this universal sound,
Remembering how we used to be, 
Live unafraid and make each day count!

Kings and Queens
