RONNIE ATKINS LYRICS

1. I've Hurt Myself (By Hurting You)

Heaven is falling
Trouble snowballing
Love has been stalling
My heart is still calling for you, you,
Yeah you

We go through the motions
Our world is imploding
Like withered roses
Caught in a moment of truth, truth,
It's true

Always thought you were one in a million
Always saw you as second to none
I succumb to my own apprehension and
Come undone

I've hurt myself by hurting you
I caused the pain
That we've been through
I lost my innocence somehow
And it's all coming back to me now
I broke your heart a time or two
Tore love apart when it felt true
I fooled myself again,
Got hurt by hurting you

Fraud to perfection
Lies and deception
Accuse and rejection
And now our connection is gone, it's gone,
Long gone
I'm down on my knees
And panic increasing
I'm begging you please girl
Forgive me for what I have done, I've done,
So wrong

And my words
May have been out of proportions
I apologise and I do repent
It was the whisky talking again

A towering guilt and a conscience burning
A minefield of thoughts and a heart that's
Yearning
My life is your command
You've got the upper hand

2. Unsung Heroes

Fighting in the frontline
No question asked
And you always take on the task
Endure for the greater good with courage
And strength
You inspire by your story
And you got no claim for glory and
You risk your life to save mine
You'll be waiting in the wings
Pushing fear aside
The uncrowned king
Pay your sacrifice
Pledge your very soul to love and liberty
For faith and god you'd die for me

Hail to those who's brave enough to be
Those never recognised the unsung heroes
Blessed be your souls
The brave and the bold
We owe you everything

From the beaches of Normandy
To Tienanmen square
The rubbles of ground zero
And all of those who dared their lives
Unknown heroes unnamed graves

Never made a claim you fight a noble cause
No one knows your name
And you don't see reward
We praise your honor
We're in your debt
You take your steps where others fear to tread

Hail to those who's brave enough to be
Those never recognised the unsung heroes
Blessed be your souls
The brave and the bold
We owe you everything
Hail to those who's strong enough to lead those
Who cross the Rubicon the unsung heroes
Blessed be your souls
The brave and the bold
We owe you everything

3. Rising Tide

Mother earth
We've plundered your resources
Now we can't reverse
'Cause time's running out and
We're vulnerable
All this beauty we were given
It's unforgivable
The evidence towering up

While all we hold so dear is fading
'Round the bend
We're sliding further down
The path of punishment

A rising tide will flood the world
Rapid fires scorch the earth
Heat increasing boiling seas
Holy mother misery
We saw but little did we learn
The tipping point of no return
World condition volatile
This is the culture of denial

Sacrilege
It's human caused
Mankind balancing the edge of the abyss
And ignorance
The threat is real
It's obvious it's imminent
No signs of remission

We're had enough of all those planetary lies
It's time to face the facts
And open up our eyes

While all we hold so dear is fading 'round the bend
We're sliding further down the path of punishment

4. Remain To Remind Me

Tell me do you see me as you saw me once
That first time now is the heat still on
Tell me do you love me like you used to do
Now does my heart still speak to you

Love can be frail it ain't no easy ride
To keep up the emotional drive

In every way you remain to remind me
You kindle my heart and arouse my soul
Whatever we've lost we'll regain all the ties
And let true love unfold

Whatever you wish whatever your desire
Release yourself don't ever hold your fire
Fall into these arms and feel that rush abound you
Tonight we're gonna bust the stars around

Now and forever 'til the end of time
We'll never lose our moment to shine

Sometimes we take it for granted
And then the chemistry's gone
You cannot win single handedly
Takes two to carry on

5. The Tracks We Leave Behind

It's a history of bloodshed and violence
The vicious cycle of the past
You can't overcome a sheer contrivance
Impose ideals when your unattached
All your dreams of global stable order
All the rage and anguish you conceived
Now your visions lie dead in the water
And all you left was hate and misbelief

'Cause your intentions seemed unclear
It's incomplete
A dead end street
You left a trail of suffering and tears

These are the tracks we leave behind
It's the blind leading the blind
A darker truth and wasted lives
I pray the suffering will end
And the kites will fly again
And all the pain will pass you by
The tracks we leave behind

You pulled out and threw
Their fatal fate into
The hands of a Brut regime
So negligent and humiliating
Your failure wasn't a part of the scheme
Indecision spawning controversy
When you greet and kiss your enemy's hand
You ought to know that when your showing mercy
To the wolf it's cruelty to the lamb

Well it's the same old song and dance
You change your stand
Accept demands and then
It hits you like a boomerang

6. All I Ask Of You

We used to hang now you can't see me eye to eye
You look the other way every time you pass me by

It hurts my soul to see that you're abandon me
It break my heart the way
That you elude my company

Don't avoid or disappoint that's all I ask of you
Don't deny me or try to hide that is all I ask of you

Don't act so cowardly I thought you'd have my back
Your fear of contact left me lost between the cracks

Betrayed my trust deserted me you let me down
I feel your touch anxiety all around

Don't avoid or disappoint that's all I ask of you
Don't deny me or try to hide that is all I ask of you
I'm still around don't shut me out that is all I ask of you
Don't forsake me, desolate that is all I ask of you

You treat me like a dead man walking
See me like a ghost
Now can you comprehend my solitude
Now where are you
When someone to talk to
Is what I need the most
Pretend that you were
Walking in my shoes

7. Grace

Say you love me all the time
That you'll still be mine all mine
Say it once more say it twice
It's all or nothing no compromise

Love's calling
Your heart is where I belong
All is wrapped into one

Grace you're all I need
You're what I feed on
My every reason
Grace your love is gold
You touch my soul
Enrich my feelings

Say you need me like I need you
That you'd never leave me
Nor give me the blues
Spread a little sunshine
Make it feel
Like the first time
Keep it real so real

Love is the thrill of affection
It's such bliss your heart never lies

8. Let Love Lead The Way

And so the tale goes on forever
The stage is set
The course is planned
You grab the chance
And walk on through
And it all lies there
It's for the taking
You go embrace it and make the change
You want to do

Go with your intuition
It's the gateway to your dreams
Be wise enough to see

Let love lead the way
Be your guide when you're astray
Be your pilot when your faith has gone your
Clue in everything you do
Let love lead the way
Be the sparkle in the rain
Be your way back in when everything is
Crumbling right in front of you

Behind the challenge there's a purpose
Go seek awareness
To find your place
To reach a state of serenity
And the child inside your eyes
Will come to aid your cry for help to bring
Yourself in harmony
You've gotta search your soul within
To find out who you truly are
And the truth will heal your scars

And in your darkest hour
And beyond the fear that you hold inside
There is a way let your wisdom be your weapon
Love is the key the key to take you there

9. Blood Cries Out

In your crowning glory
You paraphrase the truth
You bring the pain pin em'down you thrive
Obedience mandatory
Indoctrinate the youth
You pull the strain to keep their fear alive

By slaying all your rivals
You build your legacy
Steadily conceal your brutality
Persecute your people
Create utopia
A vicious modern day Caligula

Terrorise
Hate Speech and violence
Carnal or divine
Blood cries out
Suppressed by injustice and fear
Vengeance for all those deceased
One day they'll be driving their spear straight into
The heart of the beast

You preserve your power
Keep the wolves at bay
Your malice chase your enemies away
Master of deception
Monarchy of the mind
Your vanity is legend
And maligned

All deceived and cultural treason
Disbelief lies deep

Darkness grows within you and your human
Slaughterhouse
Piles of bones upon the crimson ground
A mind made for murder and horror all around
Your satanic majesty
In your realm of misery
You shine

10. Easier To Leave (Than Being Left Behind)

Adios babe
I know that it hurts
The tears upon your face
Tell a thousand words

I'm gonna leave I gotta let go and move on
Hard as it seems be as it may
Baby your tomorrow is my yesterday
So bitter sweet there's never a time for goodbye

But the memories will stay alive

And it seems that
It's easier to leave than being left behind
Easier to flee than fighting first in line
Easier to leave than being left behind

My sleeping beauty
Dwell in your spell
Remember that I love you more than life itself
The higher the love the deeper the pain will remain

And one sweet day you're gonna shine again

Let your wrath and emotions unfold
Free your mind unburden your soul
And the smile in your eyes comes to show

11. Fallen

And the rain kept on falling
Never thought I'd see the sun again
I felt pain backs to the wall
Tried to rise and fight my way back in

I was lost in the ruins of what used to be me
In the dark I went through living hell
Spend my days to ensue and connect to my higher self

I was fallen been falling
In and out of misery
I was crawling been crawling
Facing my fragility

In decline disillusioned and done
Mentally on death row lost for faith
Hurled behind and thrown back to square one
Eventually your life will find its way

Your belief is the essence of everything
With the presence of a higher love
And your mind is the muscle the spirit within you know

There ain't no birth without a pain
There ain't no spill without a stain
Always a sacrifice no gain without a loss
Always another bridge to cross

12. Make It Count

From the very day that you were born
You've been cast
To play your part
Through light and darkness
It's your destiny
But there is always an open door
A four leaf clover to be found
A spark endowing you with clarity

'Cause inside of you there's something beautiful
Can tell from that look in your eyes
You gotta confide in yourself

Every little moment make it count
Every precious smile you see around
Every wishful dream
That may come true
You gotta remember
Every traveled mile just make it count
Every day in life that your allowed
Every ray of light that shines on you

Ablaze yourself before the fire dies out
Take it all in
Your sails are set
There's no regrets

When you've passed the line
A fragile journey
Sometimes an uphill climb
But don't despair, be you, be there
We're all just here on borrowed time

In all rainy clouds there's a silver lining
There's always a light at the end
And dare to dream my friend

You struggle you strive
Your whole life through
Sail with your anchor down
Now open your heart
Expand your view
Make it count
