Open Mic Night Lyrics - March 27, 2024

Five Minutes Alone - by Pantera

I see you had your mind all made up
You group of pitiful liars
Before I woke to face the day
Your master plan transpired
Something told me
This job has more to meet the eye
My song is not believed?
My words somewhat deceiving?
Now I'm unwhole

You waged your war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom
Can't be what your idols are
Can't leave the scar
You cry for compensation
I ask you please just give us
Five minutes alone
Just give us!
Five minutes alone, yeah!

I read your eyes, your mind was made up
You took me for a fool
You used complexion of my skin
For a counter racist tool
You can't burn me
I've spilled my guts out in the past
Taken advantage of
'Cause you know where I come from
My past

You've waged a war of nerves
But you can't crush the kingdom
Can't be what your idols are
Can't leave that scar
I'll pay your compensation
I ask you please just give us
Five minutes alone
Just give me!
Five minutes alone, yeah!

Head bangs on broken glass!

Five minutes
Alone!
Just give me!
Yeah!

Stop!

I ask you please just give us
Five minutes alone
Just give me!
Five minutes alone, yeah!

I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us

I ask you please just give us
I ask you please just give us (five minutes alone)
I ask you please
I ask you please

Five minutes alone!

Proud Mary - Creedence Clearwater Revival

[Verse 1]
Left a good job in the city
Workin' for the man every night and day
And I never lost one minute of sleepin'
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been

[Refrain]
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

[Verse 2]
Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis
Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans
But I never saw the good side of the city
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen

[Refrain]
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

[Instrumental break]
1:14 - 1:50

[Refrain]
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

[Verse 3]
If you come down to the river
Bet you gonna find some people who live
You don't have to worry cause you have no money
People on the river are happy to give

[Refrain]
Big wheel keep on turnin'
Proud Mary keep on burnin'
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

[Bridge]
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river

“Mamma Mia” - By ABBA

I've been cheated by you since I don't know when
So I made up my mind, it must come to an end
Look at me now, will I ever learn
I don't know how, but I suddenly lose control
There's a fire within my soul

and I can hear a bell ring
(One more look) and I forget everything, whoa

Mamma mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again
My, my, just how much I've missed you?

Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My, my, I could never let you go

I've been angry and sad about things that you do
I can't count all the times that I've told you we're through
And when you go, when you slam the door
I think you know that you won't be away too long
You know that I'm not that strong

and I can hear a bell ring
(One more look) and I forget everything, whoa

Mamma mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again
My, my, just how much I've missed you?

Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, even if I say
Bye-bye, leave me now or never
Mamma mia, it's a game we play
Bye-bye doesn't mean forever

Mamma mia, here I go again
My, my, how can I resist you?
Mamma mia, does it show again
My, my, just how much I've missed you?

Yes, I've been brokenhearted
Blue since the day we parted
Why, why did I ever let you go?
Mamma mia, now I really know
My, my, I could never let you go

“From Another Time” - Persephone (Original)

The queen lay dying in her bed

The princess sang a lullaby

She held her hand and she touched her head

Then she whispered “Goodbye.”

They all had tried to help the Queen

But in her castle she died

Three days before Halloween

The princess was scared and she cried

Far from the castle the Queen was taken

She was buried in the ground

The royal family was totally shaken

In their sadness they were bound

The princess knows she must move on

And her life will be just fine

The happy memories are all gone

They’re from another time

The princess is weeping by the hearth

Thinking of her mother, the Queen

For so long they have been apart

She’s living in a sad dream

She remembers the pretty dresses

That she wore at the fancy ball

She thinks about her dancing lessons

That she took in the grand hall

The princess knows she must move on

And her life will be just fine

The happy memories are all gone

They’re from another time

The princess knows she must move on

And her life will be just fine

The happy memories are all gone

They’re from another time

“Yes, And?” - by Ariana Grande

[Verse 1]
In case you haven't noticed
Well, everybody's tired
And healin' from somebody
Or somethin' we don't see just right

[Pre-Chorus]
Boy, come on, put your lipstick on (No one can tell you nothin')
Come on and walk this way through the fire (Don't care what's on their mind)
And if you find yourself in a dark situation
Just turn on your light and be like

[Chorus]
"Yes, and?"
Say that all like your best, and
Be your own really best friend
Say that all like your best
Keep moving like, "What's next?"
"Yes, and?"

[Verse 2]
Now, I'm so done with caring
What you think, no, I won't hide
Underneath your own projections
Or change my most authentic life

[Pre-Chorus]
Boy, comе on, put your lipstick on (No one can tell you nothin')
Come on and walk this way through thе fire (Don't care what's on their mind)
And if you find yourself in a dark situation
Just turn on your light and be like

[Chorus]
"Yes, and?"
Say that all like your best, and
Be your own really best friend
Say that all like your best
Keep moving like, "What's next?"
"Yes, and?" (Yeah)

[Bridge]
My tongue is sacred, I speak upon what I like
Protected, that's me, discerning with my time (My time)
Your energy is yours and mine is mine (It's mine, it's mine)
What's mine is mine

My face is sitting, I don't need no disguise (I don't need no disguise)
Don't comment on my image, do not reply
Your business is yours and mine is mine
Why do you care so much who's by my side?
Why?

[Chorus]
"Yes, and?"
Say that all like your best, and (Say that all like your best)
Be your own really best friend (Oh, be your own, be your own)
Say that all like your best (Say that all like your best, baby)
Keep moving like, "What's next?"
"Yes, and?" (Yeah)
"Yes (Ooh), and?"
Say that all like your best (Ooh), and
Be your own really best (Be your own) friend
Say that all like your best
Keep moving like, "What's next?"
"Yes, and?" (Yeah)

“Just Give Me A Reason” - by P!nk

Right from the start
You were a thief, you stole my heart
And I, your willing victim
I let you see the parts of me, that weren't all that pretty
And with every touch you fixed them
Now you've been talking in your sleep, oh oh
Things you never say to me, oh oh
Tell me that you've had enough
Of our love, our love

Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
We're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again

I'm sorry I don't understand
Where all of this is coming from
I thought that we were fine (oh, we had everything)
Your head is running wild again
My dear we still have everythin'
And it's all in your mind (yeah, but this is happenin')
You've been havin' real bad dreams, oh oh
You used to lie so close to me, oh oh
There's nothing more than empty sheets between our love, our love
Oh, our love, our love (love)

Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again
I never stop, you're still written in the scars on my heart
You're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again

Oh, tear ducts and rust
I'll fix it for us
We're collecting dust, but our love's enough
You're holding it in
You're pouring a drink
No, nothing is as bad as it seems
We'll come clean

Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken just bent and we can learn to love again

Just give me a reason, just a little bit's enough
Just a second, we're not broken, just bent, and we can learn to love again
It's in the stars, it's been written in the scars on our hearts
That we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again

Oh, we can learn to love again
Oh, can learn to love again
Oh, that we're not broken, just bent and we can learn to love again

“No One” - by Alicia Keys

I just want you close
Where you can stay forever
You can be sure
That it will only get better

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be alright
People keep talking, they can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

When the rain is pouring down
And my heart is hurting
You will always be around
This I know for certain

You and me together
Through the days and nights
I don't worry 'cause
Everything's gonna be alright (yes, it will)
People keep talking, they can say what they like
But all I know is everything's gonna be alright

No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you, you, you
Can get in the way of what I feel, say it

I know some people search the world
To find something like what we have
I know people will try, try to divide something so real
So 'til the end of time, I'm telling you there ain't no one

No one, no one
Can get in the way of what I'm feeling
No one, no one, no one
Can get in the way of what I feel for you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh
(No one)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, ohh)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (no one)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh (oh), oh
Can get in the way, not for a minute, baby
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (no one)
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh (no one)
Oh, oh, oh, oh (can get in the way of what I feel for you)

Yeah
Thank you

Keeper of the Celestial Flame of Abernethy - by Gloryhammer

Zargothrax, master of nightmares
Keeper of celestial flame

Travel back 1000 years
To a time before Dundee
There lived a simple peasant
Weaving baskets in a field

But when a prince destroyed his home
To build a kingdom new
He forged a pact with chaos
Swore to bring him to his doom

A wizard did arise (concealed a clone beneath Dundee)
The prince of Fife must die

He's a sorcerer, nefarious
With eyes that burn like fire
Slaying those who dare oppose
The power of his evil desires, oh yeah

He wields the laserblaster
Dark lord of Dundee
He's a sorcerer, nefarious
And he will bring the kingdom to its knees

Zargothrax, master of nightmares
Keeper of celestial flame
Sorcerer, bound to the darkness
Evil lies in his brain

Dark lord Zargothrax, master of nightmares
Keeper of celestial flame
Wizard king, chaos incarnate
Zargothrax is his name

Laser goblin
Power sword
Ultra warfare
The dawn of double wizard shall reveal his fate

So we must ride, far away
To the fortress of Crail
To revive the frozen wizard
From the tomb of liquid ice

We will fight to destroy
And to vanquish the name
Of the scion of the kingdom
And unleash the celestial flame

Zargothrax, master of nightmares
Keeper of celestial flame
Sorcerer, bound to the darkness
Evil lies in his brain

Dark lord Zargothrax, master of nightmares
Keeper of celestial flame
Wizard king, chaos incarnate
Zargothrax is his name

He's a sorcerer, nefarious
With eyes that burn like fire (that burn like fire)
Slaying those who dare oppose
The power of his evil desire, oh yeah

He wields the laserblaster
Dark lord of Dundee
He's a sorcerer, nefarious
And he will bring the kingdom to its knees

He is the keeper of the celestial flame
Yeah, yeah
