The Rise of China, The Rise of China
Like my airliner
I'm right behind her, I'm right behind her
Like my airliner, like my airliner
Coming on like a ghost in the mirror
Coming on like a blow torch streamer
Coming on like heat from a steamer
Coming on like a new world leader
The Rise of China, The Rise of China
Like my airliner
Broke the chains that bind her, the chains that bind her
Like my airliner, like my airliner
Coming on like a ghost in the mirror
Coming on like a blow torch streamer
Coming on like lights in the theatre
Coming on like a new world leader
Coming on like blood through a needle
Coming on like a thug drug dealer
Coming on like a ghost in the mirror
Coming on like a blow torch streamer
Coming on like a nu-metal screamer
Coming on like a new world leader

Clifton Mills Clifton Mills you are buried on this hill, Clifton Mills you were killed and buried on this hill, Clifton Mills, Clifton Mills you are buried on this hill, Clifton Mills you were killed, Clifton Mills.
You were dead when they found you, your friends lie day around you, Clifton Mills you were killed Clifton Mills
It was 1862 when your Ma said bye to you
It was 1863 when you joined this infantry
It was early in July
Comin' home alive
Was for someone's son but not for Clifton Mills

Viking Heroes
03:00
|
|||
Long ships move fast
Viking heroes have
The following weapons
Helmet, shield, and sword in hand
Viking writing called
Runes, they wrote on stones
These ancient runes are old
as times unspoken languages
These viking heroes in my head
King Olaf, Eric the Red, and Igar the Boneless
These viking heroes in my head
Drink from skulls bury their dead
Norwegian Moses
Queen Victoria
Portrayed vikings as cruel
Their legacy was stained
By fascist Nazi imagery
Longships and Knars
Could sail against the wind
Oh they could navigate the open sea
And the narrow stream
(Chorus)
When I feel alone, I feel alone, I feel like (3x)
Expanding to the North
With a battle axe and torch
When I feel medieval
(Chorus)

It's the Turnpike
02:36
|
|||
It is the breakers that take the surfers
It is the waiters that serve the wine
It is the speakers that wake the sleepers
The base stealers who take the signs
All good things will take time
It's the turnpike that takes me back
It is the sherpas who take the climbers
And the burkas that shield our eyes
It is the fighters who aim sidewinders
And the riders who wait in lines
All good things will take time
It's the turnpike that takes me back
The operator will take your request.

The Successful Failures Trenton, New Jersey
"The first thing you should know about The Successful Failures is that any attempt to plug them into one genre or another is very much a fool’s errand. Hailing from Trenton, N.J., the band deftly combines Americana, Pop, Rock, and enough of a dusting of Bluegrass that serves as an appetizer to the main course without overwhelming the entire meal." - July 2020, Rock is the New Roll ... more
