Verse 1:
Sunset glowing on the sand
Ibiza waves are calling me
Electric rhythms across the land
Tonight we're breaking free

Chorus:
Island nights, electric lights
We're dancing till the morning breaks
Feeling high, pure delight
These memories are what it takes

Verse 2:
Palm trees swaying to the beat
Cocktails flowing, spirits rise
Bass is pumping down the street
Under Mediterranean skies

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Lost in the moment, lost in the sound
Pulse of the music keeps us spinning round
No boundaries, no limits tonight
Ibiza burning, burning so bright

(Final Chorus)
Island nights, electric lights
We're dancing till the morning breaks
Feeling high, pure delight
These island nights... these island nights

Island Nights

New Season

[Verse]
Little species climbin' on a rock
Formin' little groups to avoid gettin' lost
Little groups join to make a clan
And then they form a tribe
And then they form a band
And then the bands unite and they make a nation
And the nations unite and we have globalization
And the whole world joins and becomes the cosmos
And the cosmos expands
And the cosmos

[Pre-Chorus]
It's always been this way
And it always will
It's always been this way
And it always will

[Chorus]
The past has been
The present is
The future will
Evolve
Evolve
The past has been
The present is
The future will
Evolve
Evolve
The past has been
The present is
The future will
Evolve
Evolve
The past has been
The present is
The future will
Evolve
Evolve

[Bridge]
The past has been
The present is
The future will
Evolve
Evolve
The past has been
The present is
The future will
Evolve
Evolve
The past has been
The present is
The future will
Evolve
Evolve
The past has been
The present is
The future will
Evolve

Evolve

Shadows crawl across the land
Where dreams have turned to dust
The streets are empty, no one stands
Against this rising rust

Chorus:
Embers of a broken nation
Burning low, burning slow
We're living on desperation
With nowhere left to go

Verse 2:
Factories silent, highways bare
The hope has bled away
Communities beyond repair
Just ghosts of yesterday

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
We're the last ones holding on
When everything feels wrong
Watching everything we knew
Just fade into the song

(Final Chorus)
Embers of a broken nation
Burning low, burning slow
We're living on desperation
With nowhere left to go
(Nowhere left to go...)

Embers

The Cressex Concerto

The Cressex Concerto EDM Remix


[Verse 1]
Union Jack's hanging tattered and torn
Streets that once echoed with pride now forlorn
The legacy crumbling, foundations give way
Where did our kingdom just drift and decay?

[Chorus]
We're bleeding our soul, strangers flood through the gate
A nation divided, sealed into fate
The dream is unraveling, thread by thin thread
Our history whispers what nobody's said

[Verse 2]
Westminster shadows grow longer and cold
The stories of triumph no longer seem bold
Identity fracturing, culture displaced
The map of our homeland completely erased

[Chorus]
We're bleeding our soul, strangers flood through the gate
A nation divided, sealed into fate
The dream is unraveling, thread by thin thread
Our history whispers what nobody's said

[Bridge]
Who are we now? Just shadows of men
Watching our birthright dissolve again
Identity lost in a multicultural stream
Fragments of memory, a half-forgotten dream

[Final Chorus]
We're bleeding our soul, strangers flood through the gate
A nation divided, sealed into fate
The dream is unraveling, thread by thin thread
Our history whispers what nobody's said

Fading Nation

[Verse 1]
Punched my timecard, another sixteen hours
Paycheck vanishing like summer showers
Rachel Reeve's hand reaches deeper every day
Grinding me down, there's nothing left to say

[Chorus]
We're Over Taxed & Underpaid
Our dreams are slowly fading
The system keeps on taking
Until we break, until we break

[Verse 2]
Billionaires laugh behind their golden walls
While working people answer desperate calls
Rent's due soon and groceries are high
The British dream has slowly said goodbye

[Chorus]
We're Over Taxed & Underpaid
Our dreams are slowly fading
The system keeps on taking
Until we break, until we break

[Bridge]
They steal our hope, they drain our pride
No place to run, nowhere to hide
Corruption flows like poison through the street
We're pushed down hard beneath their feet

[Final Chorus]
We're Over Taxed & Underpaid
No more silence, we're not afraid
The system's gonna hear our rage
We're breaking free, turning the page!

[Outro]
(Until we break... until we break...)

Over Taxed & Underpaid

Verse 1:
The highway's stretched out like a ribbon of white
The snow's gently falling, the world feels so bright
The radio's playing those old Christmas tunes
My heart's beating faster with holiday moves

Chorus:
Driving home for Christmas, the road is my friend
The holidays are here, time to laugh and to blend
Lots of wine and some beer, we're gonna celebrate
This magical journey, oh it feels so great!

Verse 2:
The headlights are cutting through darkness ahead
Memories of home are dancing in my head
Family's waiting, the fireplace aglow
The spirit of Christmas is starting to grow

(Repeat Chorus)

Bridge:
Miles disappear beneath my wheels
The excitement of home is all that I feel
Every mile marker brings me more near
To the people I love, the ones I hold dear

(Final Chorus)
Driving home for Christmas, the road is my friend
The holidays are here, time to laugh and to blend
Lots of wine and some beer, we're gonna celebrate
This magical journey, oh it feels so great!

Outro:
Driving home... driving home for Christmas

Driving home for Xmas

The Illusion Of Democracy
Vote for me, I'll make you rich,
Don't vote for him, a proper snitch
Don't vote for her, she's not like me
This is the illusion of democracy

We'll give it all while taking off others
We'll make a country fit for your sons and brothers
We'll fight for you, well fight for me
This is the illusion of democracy

We'll kill the sick, we'll rape the poor
We'll show the immigrants the way to the door
We'll make it great for you and me
This is the illusion of democracy

Vote red or blue or in between
Whoever wins will ruin your dream
They'll lie and cheat, just wait and see
This is the illusion of democracy

And whoever wins will thank you well
While really thinking you can go to hell
They'll have the power and tell you you are free
This is the illusion of democracy

Then the tax will rise or the cuts will start
They'll cut the buses and close the parks
But the rich will profit and smile with glee
This is the illusion of democracy.

So if you're foreign or old or poor
They only want your vote nothing more
No one matters except the top of the tree
This is the illusion of democracy
