No time to be wayward
No time to be unwound
With darkness at your doorstep
Keep your feet on the ground
There will be times of injustice
Times when there's more lost than found
Down times mixed with days of wonder
A real-life spinning merry-go-round
With this back against the wall
All will soon be revealed
Sirens sound and spirits fall
With just this back against this wall
The signs will serve as your guide
Above the water with it held high
May you always go the distance
Through the darkness and the light
All the signs say pick up the pieces
All the signs say make a stand as one
What survives the long cold winter
Will be stronger and can't be undone
With this back against the wall
All will soon be revealed
Sirens sound and spirits fall
With just this back against this wall
With this back against the wall
All will soon be revealed
Sirens sound and spirits fall
With just this back against this wall
No time to be unwound
With darkness at your doorstep
Keep your feet on the ground
There will be times of injustice
Times when there's more lost than found
Down times mixed with days of wonder
A real-life spinning merry-go-round
With this back against the wall
All will soon be revealed
Sirens sound and spirits fall
With just this back against this wall
The signs will serve as your guide
Above the water with it held high
May you always go the distance
Through the darkness and the light
All the signs say pick up the pieces
All the signs say make a stand as one
What survives the long cold winter
Will be stronger and can't be undone
With this back against the wall
All will soon be revealed
Sirens sound and spirits fall
With just this back against this wall
With this back against the wall
All will soon be revealed
Sirens sound and spirits fall
With just this back against this wall

The Main Mix
What he said. Listen up to the tune, RP listeners. That's some fine consciousness raising music.
What he said. Of all the low-ly rated tracks here on RP, this imho is one of the best and a favorite. A 5.6? Some folks here are tone deaf.
5.5 rating? A bunch of folks here are remiss and need an upgrade.
