In My Stride 02:56
In My Stride Music & Lyrics by Ghosts of Black River [Verse] Have you got something against me boy? You wanna, speak your mind? You better get your ass in line son, But you ain't got the spine. [Pre Chorus] Worthless! Attempt! To progress! You whisper my name. Thing is! You'll dwell! On it! (And) remember my name. [Chorus] I take it in my stride, Won't let you inside my mind, Can't take my pride, I'll let it slide this time. [Verse] The negative is all I ever hear from you. You run your mouth, But lack the balls to back it. I ain't got no time for your kind, Swept aside as the family unites. [Pre Chorus] Endless! Pissing! Contest! But what do you gain? Thing is! I'll bleed! For it! And remember my name [Chorus] I take it in my stride. Won't let you inside my mind. Can't take my pride, I'll let it slide this time. [Solo] [Chorus] I take it in my stride. Won't let you inside my mind. Can't take my pride, I'll let it slide this time.

Redemption 03:36
Redemption Music & Lyrics by Ghosts of Black River [Verse] Face down in your filth again, Darkness clouds your mind, distorting thoughts in your head. Before it takes hold, will you find strength to escape? Or ignore all the signs and let the cycle repeat? [Chorus] I....know your thinking. And I know it won't ever change, Straight out, just a son of a bitch And I'm wiping my hands clean, I....know your thinking. And I know it won't ever change, Straight out, just a son of a bitch When I reached out, [Verse] And dragged you out of the depths, where you drifted along, Through ashes of the bridges, that you burn as you go, In your eyes son, it maybe hard to accept, But blaming those who tried, just makes you more pathetic. [Chorus] I....know your thinking. And I know it won't ever change, Straight out, just a son of a bitch And I'm wiping my hands clean, I....know your thinking. And I know it won't ever change, Straight out, just a son of a bitch And I'm wiping, my hands clean, [Bridge] Hear the storm rolling in, It's deafening sound, leaves you cowering. A worthless shell and nothing more, And I've wiped my hands clean, Wiping my hands clean. [Solo] [Outro] I know myself, It ain't easy but man why should it be, But I won't be the one, To fight a war that can't be won.

Heavy Hater 02:54
Heavy Hater Music & Lyrics by Ghosts of Black River [Verse] Call out, me or my family, Based on what you see, Disrespecting ANYONE don't go down well with me, Now we're on the same page, Right back from the start, Explain again, How you know more about myself than me, Or what you think you might know, and all that you've been told, So fade to obscurity Back to where you came from Where your opinion counts for dick all, Cease to be. Wasting time on all of this, That's what gets me. All fired up with nowhere to explode [Chorus] x2 Fueling my rage with hate is so easy, (Lucas)- When people like you get in my way, Shake my head and walk away slowly Why waste my time. [Verse- Lucas] Broken, drifting aimlessly, Tearing at the seams, Hanging by a thread of my sanity. Now we're on the same page, Where do I even start, Explaining all the things that eat away inside of me, When every road I roll on, Leads to this same place So go on, keep on pushing me Back to where I belong, Where opinions count for dick all, cease to be, Wasting time on all of this, That's what gets me. [Solo] [Chorus] Fueling my rage with hate is so easy, (Lucas) -When people like you get in my way, Shake my head and walk away slowly Why waste my time.

Northern Lights Music & Lyrics by Ghosts of Black River [Verse] Another day in paradise I'm told, The way I feel, that seems so far from the truth, Held-down and kicked repeatedly. And surely! [Chorus] I could spend my days fueling the hate but I, Laid waste to old ways and cleared my mind. Now I'm back on my feet, that fire in my eyes Looking out through the haze of these Northern Lights. [Verse] I see them move within the shadows, Target the weak with what they like to abuse, Forced- down and left to bleed on their knees, And surely, [Chorus] I could spend my days fueling the hate but I, Laid waste to old ways and cleared my mind Now I'm back on my feet with fire in my eyes Looking out through the haze of these Northern Lights. [Bridge] Within the streets they all roam, Below, the daily battle. The place that I call my home, Is now completely shattered, These walls, they were made of stone, But now they seem so fragile, If we keep walking, This road, will be the last we travel. [Solo] [Chorus] I could spend my days fueling the hate but I, Laid waste to old ways and cleared my mind Now I'm back on my feet with fire in my eyes Looking out through the haze of these Northern Lights. [Bridge] Within the streets they all roam, Below, the daily battle. The place that I call my home, Is now completely shattered, These walls, they were made of stone, But now they seem so fragile, If we keep walking, This road, will be the last we travel.

Swamp Stomp 03:50
The Swamp Stomp Blues Music & Lyrics by Ghosts of Black River [Verse] Staring through a haze, To gain a clearer look at things. The voice of reason, that comes creeping in to ease my mind. It eases thoughts, That distort and take their toll on me And takes the weight of the day away, And I get by, I get by! [Chorus] x2 I Get on up, And every day is the same, Another battle in front of me. When the day's over, I'll be going straight, To the swamp to fade my blues away. [Verse] The great divide of pockets lined and those who trust the seed, We'll watch them stir when tables turn And all their profits cease. Which side has more to lose? Then tell me man who speaks the truth? The creature in the suit? Or one's with nothing left to lose? Nothing left to lose! [Chorus] x2 I Get on up, And every day is the same, Another battle in front of me. When the day's over, I'll be going straight, To the swamp to fade my blues away. [Solo] [Chorus] x2 I Get on up, And every day is the same, Another battle in front of me. When the day's over, I'll be going straight, To the swamp to fade my blues away.

Kicking Along Music & Lyrics by Ghosts of Black River [Verse] You say that it's alright, That things are going to change. Try and find some good in life, To help you on your way. See I'd like to think you're right, But I don't feel the same. No I don't feel the same! [Chorus] Cause’ I know, it's never gonna be the... THE WAY!!!! The way that it was before it all, STARTED!!!! The way that it was before!! And I will tell you straight out. I know!!!! It's never gonna be the.... THE WAY!!!! The way that it was before it all, STARTED!!!! The way that it was before! [Verse] You say that I lost sight, and drifted my own way, Keeping everything inside, Kept pushing you away, Blinded by my own pride, I let you slip away, I let you slip away, [Chorus] I know!! it's never gonna be the... THE WAY!!!! The way that it was before it all, STARTED!!!! The way that it was before!! And I will tell you straight out. I know!! it's never gonna be the... THE WAY! The way that it was before it all, STARTED! The way that it was before! [Break] Well I'm just kicking along!

Taken 06:31
Taken Music & Lyrics by Ghosts of Black River [Verse] The call that day, I'll never forget receiving. A state of shock, And wanting to disbelieve it. I sat in silence, Alone and frozen still, As I fought the tears away, I hurt for your brothers miles away. And it's hard, but I know You wouldn't want us this way, Cause' I knew you well, And we will carry your name on. [Chorus] You were always there for me, Taken away now we're grieving All that you were to me, Words barely explain how I'm feeling, The time you gave to me, Im grateful for every second I hold onto the memory, Taken away now we're grieving. [Verse] Though now you're gone, You live through the hearts of many, You made us know, you were always there if needed. It's hard, but we know You wouldn't want us this way, But we've lost a son, a father , a brother to us all!! [Chorus] You were always there for me, Taken away now we're grieving All that you were to me, Words barely explain how I'm feeling, The time you gave to me, Im grateful for every second I hold onto the memory, Taken away now we're grieving. [Solo] [Chorus] You were always there for me, Taken away now we're grieving All that you were to me, Words barely explain how I'm feeling, The time you gave to me, RIP- B.A.B

Struggle On 03:40
Struggle On Music & Lyrics by Ghosts of Black River [Verse] Peel me from the floor again, Struggling to greet the day, Bleeding eyes, my head is worse…. [Chorus] Some hard drinking, Is what I'm thinking, Tonight we'll light it on up. It's hard living, But I ain't complaining, Struggle on and keep up. [Verse] The fear creeping up on me, I feel their eyes look down on me, A war inside that last for days..... [Chorus] Some hard drinking, Is what I'm thinking, Tonight we'll light it on up. It's hard living, But I ain't complaining, Struggle on and keep up. [Solo] [Chorus] Some hard drinking, Is what I'm thinking, Tonight we'll light it on up. It's hard living, But I ain't complaining, Struggle on and keep up.
