From HEAVENTH FLOOR With Joy

I know they will never stop talking

So, I’m singing like there is nobody listening

And dancing like there is nobody watching

I laid a foundation with the bricks they threw at me

And became the man they thought I would never be

They switched off the lights thinking that I wouldn’t see

When they abandoned me down the basement to die

I got in to the elevator and went up to heaventh floor

Where all my needs and desires were catered for

It was a spiritual game and my lost faith I had to restore

And meeting the Man in white was a perfect score

He gave me something precious I'd never had before

A shinny golden key that can open any door

I’ve grown golden wings. I now fly high, up in the sky.

They want to shoot me down with a jealousy-arrow

But until then, I will live like a happy pharaoh

I will stand on top of Mount Kilimanjaro

And on top of my voice I will sing like a sparrow

And dance happy dance like there is no tomorrow

Because I've triumphed over pain, tears and sorrow

So now they just look at me and covetously sigh

Get busy living or get busy dying

Sometimes life can be terrifying 

But

  Life isn’t finding shelter in the storm

It’s about learning to dance in the rain

Well said, “The early bird catches the worm”

But also think of its level in the food chain

What if the worm took a dragon’s form?

The early bird would be the one to be slain

Survival for the fittest is all years a norm

Well known to many as no pain no gain

If you want results you have to perform

If you want the rainbow, put up with the rain

If you want to make omelet, crack at least an egg

To have real friends to back you up, take out the bad ones

The ones that hate you; who wish you literally break a leg

It is more about sacrifices, do your best until success comes

If life gives you lemons, make yourself some lemonade

Like angry demons, crack grounds for all you need

In the middle of the desert build your own cascade

To hit the target you need accuracy, strength and speed

What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger

Well said, “Pain is temporary, pride is forever”

The weak die out, as the strong last longer

A plus to strength you also have to be clever

So,

Get busy living or get busy dying

Possessed

Well, you’d think I’m a free man

But I’m trapped in the devil’s prison

Fleeing I think not. There’s no reason

They haven’t fed me to the dragon

I think ‘ey like me. That’s my freedom

Dancing with Deumos, the female demon

And dinning with abaddon the great apollyon

They are my friends now, my legion

Gospel of death is now my religion

Eurynome is the priest I’m the deacon

Paymon made me an heir to his kingdom

They’ll stick around to the end of the season
