Lyrics

Another night Another Day
I wish I had something left to say
Do you know, do you know the way
You see it's kinda hard in these prison chains

Before you disappear, before you walk away
What Must I do to be saved.
What Must I do to be saved.
What Must I do to be saved.

You wear that cross everyday
Can you help me out in Jesus name
I know I've got it coming anyway
Won't you help me out, teach me how to pray
I see a lake full of water, won't someone stop this train.
What Must I do to be saved.
What Must I do to be saved.
What Must I do to be saved.

Wowza....What a terrific Rock Anthem sounding song!!! In-your-face huge Power Chords and melody, this tune musically is Spot-on!!! However.....I believe the Lead vocal could use some E-Q, I am having a difficult time understanding the words in places, so it's hard to give the song a totally Over-The-Moon....Perfect score!! I think just make the Lead vocal clearer.........and Voila...YOU HAVE A KILLER HIT!!!

This song, at least in part, reminds me of the bible story of the Philippian Jailor. It seems to refer to the disciples who were set free by the angel (before you disappear). Clever angle on the story put into a song. Excellent rock band instrumentation.

Raw energy...especially like the drums....if they are loops you're a genius...Fill guitar work is a lot of fun. Lyrics hard to follow so I won't comment on them. But all in all a nice listen.

Commercial potential in this track.

Very powerful and strong. In the vein of U2...

Like the bright beginning on this song
