“Kings & Queens (Resurrection)” Is The Fifth Track On The IRIS Album HOAA:Resurrection By Will Ryan.
----------------------------------‐-----------------------

[Lyrics]

[Verse 1]
One more shot hits the throat, two more times he let go
Three ways to die, I'm not gonna lie
There's no turning back for the reckoned man
Taking turns with his hands, one knife, one gun at his command
What bliss, this heist was soon to be his
But little did he know, he had enough

[Pre-Chorus]
Of feeling like a criminal, desires on fires so cynical
The cry of a newborn mind
He dropped the weapons and bled him dry
Regaining strength to free his life
"No more!", as he dropped the gun and knife
He wrote these words with a broken pen
"This time I'm coming back"

[Chorus]
This is the king of the crowd, as he holds up the crown
There's no more looking down
Yeah, the proudest man, comes back around
This is the point where he learned, when his life took a turn
You never heard of a comeback like this
He's a fucking king (He's a fucking king)

[Verse 2]
One more picture on the wall, two more times to rise and fall
Three way to harm, without keeping calm
She has nothing more to lose in this game
In the dark hall of fame, her life was riddled to the shame
This girl was going, and yet without knowing
She stood up proud, she had enough

[Pre-Chorus]
Of feeling mighty victimized, relentless things to criticize
Her tears showed lesser fears
As she dropped the bullets and let it slide
Regaining strength to free her life
"No more!", as she dropped the gun and knife
She wrote these words with a broken pen
"This time I'm coming back"

[Chorus]
This is the queen of the crowd, as she holds up the crown
There's no more looking down
Yeah, the proudest girl, comes back around
This is the point where she learned, when her life took a turn
You never heard of a comeback like this
She's a fucking queen

[Bridge]
As they claimed their remorse, like a warrior on a horse
Bleeding black and blue in the face of discourse
Holding up higher and prouder than the shadows reborn
Now the curse has been torn, now they're free
Flooding the gates against the dreaded masquerade
They had dealt the wrong cards tonight
When there's a will, there's a might
Stronger than the knight!

[Pre-Chorus]
They wrote these words with a broken pen
"This time I'm coming back"

[Chorus]
They are the kings of the crowd, as they hold up the crown
There's no more looking down
They're a whole new crowd, who just touched the ground
This was the point where they learned, as their lives took a turn
You never heard of a comeback like this
They're the fucking kings and queens

Kings And Queens (Resurrection)

Will Ryan - Kings & Queens (Resurrection)

“Why Do We Hold (Resurrection)” Is The Sixth Track On IRIS Album HOAA:Resurrection By Will Ryan.
----------------------------------‐-----------------------

[Lyrics]

[Verse 1]
Regardless of darkness and light, I have chosen
The tables, turning around me, such a burden

[Verse 2]
But the light is upon me and you, I will follow
North or south, I will ignite you, you're hollow

[Pre-Chorus]
Incinerating, the shield is fading
Mortal cadence rises for you, one more time
Desperation (Desperation)
Becomes obsession (Becomes obsession)
I have paintings of you, I'll draw the pain

[Chorus]
Hold on, onto the light
Cast by the angels that take flight
Why do we hold?
Look down, down onto me
Desperate to find the holiest peace
Why do we hold?
So that I can live to see you again

[Verse 3]
But without this incarnate, we claim, still receding
For the violence never solved anything, 'cause I'm still bleeding

[Pre-Chorus]
Intoxication, controlled possessions
Hold in till my face turns blue, one more time
Crazed obstructions (Crazed obstructions)
Show my contortions (Show my contortions)
I have paintings of you, I'll draw the pain

[Chorus]
Hold on, onto the light
Cast by the angels that take flight
Why do we hold?
Look down, down onto me
Desperate to find the holiest peace
Why do we hold?
So that I can live to see you again

[Bridge]
This is my own vengeance
I will live for this day
(To hold you in my arms)
I will bleed for you

[Chorus]
Hold on, onto the light
Cast by the angels that take flight
Why do we hold?
Look down, down onto me
Desperate to find the holiest peace
Why do we hold?
So that I can live to see you again

[Outro]
This is my own vengeance

Why Do We Hold (Resurrection)

Will Ryan - Why Do We Hold (Resurrection)


“Lost Now Found (Resurrection)” Is The Seventh Track On The IRIS Album HOAA:Resurrection By Will Ryan.
----------------------------------‐-----------------------

[Lyrics]

[Intro]
(My love was lost now found)

[Verse 1]
Beaten up, dragged beneath the décor
I was drunk and blind, I was out of my mind
The day has come to an end, I was out again
Bleeding dry, never felt so high
But the fear would hide us, the rage had defined us
The sickness invaded and my soul had deflated
A phone call away, but to my dismay
I couldn't control my sanity

[Verse 2]
Out on the floor, all alone, more and more
She could walk out the door, holding her tears in the core
Braver than I, she couldn't watch as I died
There's a hole deep down, could she help me now?

[Pre-Chorus]
Pull me closer to the brink of destruction
And bring me back to the light

[Chorus]
She believed in a cause
Call at the right place, and call me the right time
I hold that promise down like a golden harpoon
To the mind, and the soul, and the heart
I could travel the world
But nothing gets closer when I'm falling over
And you pick me up and I'm back again
Don't ask me how my love was lost now found

[Verse 3]
A cold reminder I'm a hopeless insider
I will never die, I'm not allowed to resign
The scars beneath the skin are starting to fade
But my body lies, I'm still scarred inside
With the remnants of serenity dissolved in my calamity
All will perish, don't be so fucking selfish
The day that I will bargain is the devil's regard
But you won't just leave me be

[Verse 4]
Out in the rain, I remain, with reminisces of pain in the brain
Now I've become insane
Makes me believe, 'cause all I have is to grieve
But there's a hope deep down
Could she help me now?

[Pre-Chorus]
Pull me closer to the brink of destruction
And bring me back to the light

[Chorus]
She believed in a cause
Call at the right place, and call me the right time
I hold that promise down like a golden harpoon
To the mind, and the soul, and the heart
I could travel the world
But nothing gets closer when I'm falling over
And you pick me up and I'm back again
Don't ask me how my love was lost now found

[Bridge]
At your lowest you may feel like salvation is on the horizon
But inside, we still feel like that one sick twisted fuck

[Pre-Chorus]
Give me the hand, bring me to life

[Chorus]
She believed in a cause
Call at the right place, and call me the right time
I hold that promise down like a golden harpoon
To the mind, and the soul, and the heart
I could travel the world
But nothing gets closer when I'm falling over
And you pick me up and I'm back again
Don't ask me how my love was lost now found

[Outro]
My love was lost now found

Will Ryan - Lost Now Found (Resurrection)

“Too Dangerous (Resurrection)” Is The Eighth Track On The IRIS Album HOAA:Resurrection By Will Ryan.
----------------------------------‐-----------------------

[Lyrics]

[Verse 1]
Darkness betrays what I was (What I was)
The heart of deception draws me down (Draws me down)
How can I redeem what I lost? (What I lost?)
The changes inside me pay the cost

[Verse 2]
Folded inception has corroded me
I have no more peace to my name
Loaded with tensions
My persistence to climb will not bow by your own gain

[Pre-Chorus]
The blood fills the corpse I fight for
Hear me cry

[Chorus]
I walk alone, yet nobody hears me (Nobody hears me)
Maybe I'm born to be all alone
My heart grows cold
There's peace in my fire
But you're too dangerous

[Post-Chorus]
(Darkness betrays what I was)
You're too dangerous
(How can I redeem what I lost?)

[Verse 3]
Oh, darkness betrays what I was (What I was)
The ruthless contestants made me bleed (Make me bleed)
How can I redeem what I lost? (What I lost?)
The needless pretenders claim my name

[Pre-Chorus]
The blood fills the corpse I fight for
Hear me cry

[Chorus]
I walk alone yet nobody hears me (Nobody hears me)
Maybe I'm born to be all alone
My heart grows cold
There's peace in my fire
But you're too dangerous

[Post-Chorus]
But at what cost?
For your own personal gain
I suggest you stay back

[Breakdown]
I saw through the cause
You feed off my matrimony
Your malice won't taint me
My distance will save me

[Chorus]
I walk alone yet nobody hears me (Nobody hears me)
Maybe I'm born to be all alone
My heart grows cold
There's peace in my fire
But you're too dangerous

[Post-Chorus]
(Darkness betrays what I was)
You're too dangerous
(How can I redeem what I lost?)
Oh

[Outro]
I cannot breathe
I cannot see the end of the road
Why can't you leave?
You make it harder to walk
I cannot breathe (I cannot breathe)
I cannot see the end of the road
Why can't you leave? (Why can't you leave?)
You make it harder to walk

Too Dangerous (Resurrection)

Will Ryan - Too Dangerous (Resurrection)


“Castle That Burns” Is The Ninth And Newest Track On The IRIS Album HOAA:Resurrection By Will Ryan.
----------------------------------‐-----------------------

[Lyrics]

[Intro]
The castle that burns

[Verse 1]
You wanted change so badly
But didn't think to know the cost
When everyone seeks remedy
You have nobody to blame
For the lives that lost the will

[Verse 2]
To move, to think they'd be too afraid to blink
Asking all to comply
Makes you no better as they die

[Pre-Chorus]
You don't know what pain is
When the pain is theirs to remain
We'll burn every brick you've cradled
Smite down your demented label
We'll make sure you're nothing but fable

[Chorus]
The weight of the world cast down by your hand
Look what you've done, the blood is all on you
(Now kneel before me)
The foundation crumbles before thee
From the ingress of glory
So bow, reap what you earned
From this castle that burns

[Verse 3]
For every day you seek to thwart the throne
You'll reap what you sow
Was all this worth it?
Was kneeling down your arms pointless and worthless?
Cradle what you've gone and burned in time

[Verse 4]
Wake up, your castle walls are coming down
To your severed and devastated ground
(You should've turned around)
Break down, your hero died to the embers' plight
Nothing more in sight, for your will and might
We've taken what you cradled
To make sure you're nothing but fable

[Chorus]
The weight of the world cast down by your hand
Look what you've done, the blood is all on you
(Now kneel before me)
The foundation crumbles before thee
From the ingress of glory
So bow, reap what you earned
From this castle that burns

[Post-Chorus]
What were once kings, became slaves to hell
And that hell comes with no mercy

[Pre-Chorus]
Now look what you've done
It looks like we won

[Chorus]
The weight of the world cast down by your hand
Look what you've done, the blood is all on you
(Now kneel before me)
The foundation crumbles before thee
From the ingress of glory
So bow, reap what you earned
From this castle that burns
The fire inside waves like tides
You are to blame for your crime (You are to blame for your crime)
May hell give you grace, just in case thy vengeful god decides
Your castle dies!

[Outro]
And in the wickedness of this warp
Remains the devil's darkest hand...

“You’re Just Making Us Stronger (Resurrection)” Is The Eleventh Track On The IRIS Album HOAA:Resurrection By Will Ryan.
----------------------------------‐-----------------------

[Lyrics]

[Verse 1]
Pray for mercy, 'cause I have ended
I've defended my immortal flames
My eternal grace will lift through these bridges burned
(We have begun to learn)
I'll take the carnage that you bring me now (Bring me now)
I seek nothing but the lessons learned
Deny me courage, deny me apathy
But I will always journey forward

[Pre-Chorus]
So you see me now
I'm up here and you're down there
Disrupt if you dare
For an alchemy has awoken

[Chorus]
I am awoken, in this chosen battlefield you made
Devour, empower, but you're just making us stronger
I have bespoken of our golden age where we climb
Engage, enrage, but you're just making us stronger

[Verse 2]
Forget the perception you take
For there's another side to it all
Can you proclaim your answers as logic?
Or do you care at all?

[Refrain]
Forfeit the peace over one wrong move
Things like this really kick my groove
I have acknowledged what I have been taught
But I can't run if you don't let me walk
Forfeit the peace over one wrong move
Things like this really kick my groove
I have acknowledged what I have been taught
But I can't run if you don't let me fucking walk

[Pre-Chorus]
So you see me now
I'm up here and you're down there
Disrupt if you dare
For an alchemy has awoken

[Chorus]
I am awoken, in this chosen battlefield you made
Devour, empower, but you're just making us stronger
I have bespoken of our golden age where we climb
Engage, enrage, but you're just making us stronger

[Bridge]
Silence them all (Silence them all)
Mark your rise and their fall (Rise and fall)
Show them you're more than you
Left on the shores and rise up tall
Carve out your name (Carve out your name)
Show them this is your game (Your game)
Make them wish they believed you
You're more than they knew
(But I can't run if you don't let me fucking walk)

[Pre-Chorus]
So you see me now
I'm up here and you're down there
Disrupt if you dare
For an alchemy has awoken

[Chorus]
I am awoken, in this chosen battlefield you made
Devour, empower, but you're just making us stronger
I have bespoken of our golden age where we climb
Engage, enrage, but you're just making us stronger

[Outro]
Forfeit the peace over one wrong move
Things like this really kick my groove
I have acknowledged what I have been taught
But I can't run if you don't let me fucking walk
(I'm up here and you're down there)

Cover Art Done By Wyatt Lynes (That Me)
----------------------------------‐-----------------------

[Lyrics]

[Intro]
(Artist)
(Heart of an artist)

[Verse 1]
You place your cards on the desk, but they rip it up in your face
They take you like a remote and control your fate!
You can't take it and the heat starts to tackle your heart
But they don't care about the source
They just want you to fall apart

[Pre-Chorus]
So stand up, let them know how you really feel
How can they push if they don't know how to take the steel?
As you rise from your heels, and they leave
Just say go away!

[Chorus]
I don't fucking need you anymore, wave goodbye to the chores
Take the cuffs off and breathe new life
Take it from the men who denied as they tried to survive
But the enemy began to ignite
The rage written on the walls (They were burning)
They can't stop me when I crawl (Now I'm running)
This is the heart of an artist

[Post-Chorus]
(Artist)
(Heart of an artist)

[Verse 2]
You gave them art made of gold
But they sliced it down with embrace
They take it back to their hive and eradicate
You feel beaten when they shriek, so you break down and cry
But they will fight because they use and abuse you from the start

[Pre-Chorus]
So stand up, let them know that you will not be swayed
How can they know how you feel when they don't appreciate?
As you rise from your heels, and they leave
Just say go away!

[Chorus]
I don't fucking need you anymore, wave goodbye to the chores
Take the cuffs off and breathe new life
Take it from the men who denied as they tried to survive
But the enemy began to ignite
The rage written on the walls (They were burning)
They can't stop me when I crawl (Now I'm running)
This is the heart of an artist

[Breakdown]
Hold on, onto your heart
Don't let them take it from you
Just reignite what was your thrive
(Show them that you're alive)

[Bridge]
In my heart, I grieve for the artist I believe
To be sent down from the sky, only to be met with shadows
They're hidden in the meadows, poisoning all of the rye
Maybe we can meet in the middle, enough with the riddles
Treat them as they would treat you
They came to help your souls deliver a smile through the tolls
Isn't that what you would do?

[Pre-Chorus]
(Artist)

[Chorus]
I don't fucking need you anymore, wave goodbye to the chores
Take the cuffs off and breathe new life
Take it from the men who denied as they tried to survive
But the enemy began to ignite
I can taste the charge from the core, so we shout "Fuck them all"
Make them know that you're not pushed around
Let them know you are divine, keep a kind state of mind
And speak it through the art of sound

[Outro]
The rage written on the walls (They were burning)
They can't stop me when I crawl (Now I'm running)
This is the heart of an artist
