Lyrics

I look over this city of Dublin
And I see the faces of those who aren't here
And the battles waiting before us

This city can be hard
It can force a man to his knees
But we rise and stand as one

In the heart of this night
Stillness lays claim to your soul
In these shadows we hide
Voices carry low
Oh....time drags
Like a beaten down man
Come morning we'll find
How this Sunday goes down

I wander these streets in the cool grey morn
I wonder how long we can carry this on
So long so many gone
Long may their passion live on
We'll take what we need
And forever we hold on

Sunlight strains so hard to break through this dark shroud
Somewhere on that rise
Shadows disappear
Oh...to be one again with the life we once knew
Somewhere o'er that rise
Young men's dreams can come true

I hold onto this passion hold on
Take what we see and forever believe we hold on
I hold onto this passion hold on
Take what we see and forever believe we hold on hold on

Sean is lost and we can't find Phillip
But on these dark streets of Dublin
One man becomes everyman

I wander these streets in the cool grey morn
I wonder how long we can carry this on
Sunlight brings hope that we hold to this
Moonlight we've known for so long
Darkness will fade
And forever believe we hold on

I Hold onto this passion hold on
Take what we need and forever believe we hold on
I Hold onto this passion hold on
Take what we need forever hold on

Sometimes the fight is hard
But our strength is old
Our hearts beat like drums
And in our blood runs the voice of a thousand pipers

Very tranquil vibe...seems great for the right soundtrack, or Sunday morning!

sounds good and entertaining

I really have only positive feedback for this song! I thought it was an extremely well done production. I loved the talking elements of the, might I say, the verses. I thought the choruses were great. I really liked the vocal effects, I thought they were suitable for the song -- though I do make some suggestions below about taming the effects. I think the arrangement is complex in a professional way. I thought the droning tone of the vocals fit the overall chill, slow-traversing character of the song. All the instruments were well played and the parts were clearly written by musicians -- that is to say, I felt that all parts of the song were very musical. I contrast that statement with much of today's music where attention to perfect tempo and pitch trump musicality and emotional impact. I absolutely loved the bag pipes at the end of the track! Very well done.

Great production and arrangement here! Very original.

Nice lyrics. Cool arrangement.

this has like a relaxing trance to it that can give a calm feeling after a long day keep up the good work

This song has great music arrangement lyrics and vocal are good

Well done, great instrumentation and vocals. Good vibe.

Good steady groove. Great instrumentation and haunting vocal

Nice musical arrangement!
