Condense this Dead Kings Rise
Bound by battle scars
When the savages reigned
The lord of war
From his right hand man betrayed
Beneath the battle field
His murdered corpse they hide
Oh, curse from Hell
Avenge my death
Avenge the lies
Flesh they stole
But the soul is not begotten
Through the gates of Hell
I'll seize my throne
Feel my sword
Though the flesh be dead and rotten
Dead kings rise for vengeance owed

Condense this Eat Your Dog
Weak and sick, dying in the sand, no such thing as a promised land.
Don't lose faith in a better life--reincarnation, poor excuse.
You're dying you assholes, your religion can't help you now.
Dying and starving in the fields you used to plow.
Rotting bones in your barren fields. Worshipped creature's supposed to heal.
He won't save you and he won't save me. See what you want to see.
Hindu religion in the mind of a working Joe,
Starving and dying in the fields you used to know.
You're tied and bound to a god's useless advice.
Bloated stomachs from aching diseases hold back the fight.
In the end you'll return once more to die again.
Go on 'til you can't no more in non-eternal sin.

Condense this Damned To Be Free
Death and the shadow that it casts on life scares me little or none.
People tell me of a divine right and the happy chosen one.
I'm a freak 'cause my morals clash with others in the world.
I go home while they work hard, then they same I'm wrong.
There's only one place to be, while living with tragedy.
If their sins affected me, I gotta be damned to be free.
Freedom is responsibility, pay more than it's worth.
Instincts tells us not to die, hazy myth since birth.
Learn their rules, play their game, deceive yourself in haste.
Turn your own brain into dust; it's not theirs to waste.
There's only one place to be, while living with tragedy.
Extract the nectar, burn the tree, I gotta be damned to be free
Thinking... This world it ain't so bad.
Dying... It's just another fad.
Working... 8 hours, that's not for me.
Dying... It's just your destiny.

Yohoho...yohohoho...yohoho...yohohoho...
Yohoho...yohohoho...yohoho...yohohoho...
Gather up all of the crew, it's time to ship out Binks' Brew
Sea wind blows. To where? Who knows?
The waves will be our guide.
O'er across the ocean's tide
Rays of sunshine far and wide
Birds, they sing of cheerful things in circles passing by.
Bid farewell to Weaver's town
Say so long to port renowned
Sing a song, it won't be long before we're casting off!
Cross the gold and silver seas
The salty spray puts us at ease
Day and night, to our delight
The voyage never ends.
Yohoho...yohohoho...yohoho...yohohoho...
Yohoho...yohohoho...yohoho...yohohoho...
Gather up all of the crew, it's time to ship out Binks' Brew
Pirates, we eternally are challenging the sea.
With the waves to rest our heads
Ships beneath us as our beds
Hoisted high upon the mast our Jolly Roger flies!
Somewhere in the endless sky, stormy winds are blowing by
Waves are dancing, evening comes
It's time to sound the drums!
But steady men, may never fear
Tomorrow's skies are always clear
So pound your feet and clap your hands till sunny days return!
Yohoho...yohohoho...yohoho...yohohoho...
Yohoho...yohohoho...yohoho...yohohoho...
Gather up all of the crew, it's time to ship out Binks' Brew
Wave goodbye, but don't you cry
Our memories remain
Our days are but a passing dream, everlasting though they seem
Beneath the moon, we'll meet again
The wind's our lullaby!
Gather up all of the crew, it's time to ship out Binks' Brew
Sing a song and play along for all the oceans wide!
After all is said and done, you'll end up a skeleton
So spread your tale from dawn to dusk upon these foamy seas!
Yohoho...yohohoho...yohoho...yohohoho...
Yohoho...yohohoho...yohoho...yohohoho...

Condense this In The Night
In the city, the day is too hot
And you're hoping for relief, 'cuz your head is filled with pain,
But you get no relief, 'cuz the night is the same...
In the night, in the night you see through jaded eyes.
In the night, in the night you feel barely alive.
You live your life in darkness, you've got pennies on your eyes.
And you say that it's all right, 'cuz you've never lived a lie,
As you crawl back to your womblike existence in the night.
In the night, in the night you see through jaded eyes.
In the night, in the night you feel barely alive.
You can't see no light, but you hear those heavy footsteps,
And the little man inside twists your tormented mind.
Your mind is filled with shadows, your palms are wet with sweat.
Limbs are bound and tangled in a fatal net.
There are two things you can do.
One is turn and fight.
The other's run headlong into the night.
In the night, in the night you see through jaded eyes.
In the night, in the night you feel barely alive.
You can't see no light, but you hear those heavy footsteps,
And the breathing at your side, is it yours, or is it
Good bye!

Condense this Alexander Hamilton
[AARON BURR]
How does a bastard, orphan, son of a whore and a
Scotsman, dropped in the middle of a forgotten
Spot in the Caribbean by Providence, impoverished in squalor
Grow up to be a hero and a scholar?
[JOHN LAURENS]
The ten-dollar Founding Father without a father
Got a lot farther by working a lot harder
By being a lot smarter, by being a self-starter
By fourteen, they placed him in charge of a trading charter
[THOMAS JEFFERSON]
And every day, while slaves were being slaughtered and carted away
Across the waves, he struggled and kept his guard up
Inside, he was longing for something to be a part of
The brother was ready to beg, steal, borrow, or barter
[JAMES MADISON]
Then a hurricane came, and devastation rained
Our man saw his future drip-dripping down the drain
put a pencil to his temple and connected it to his brain
And he wrote his first refrain, a testament to his pain
[BURR]
Well, the word got around, they said, "This kid is insane, man."
took up a collection just to send him to the mainland
"Get your education, don't forget from whence you came.
And the world is gonna know your name.
What's your name, man?"
[ALEXANDER HAMILTON]
Alexander Hamilton.
My name is Alexander Hamilton.
And there are a million things I haven't done.
But just you wait, just you, wait.
[ELIZA HAMILTON]
When he was ten, his father split
Full of it, debt-ridden
Two years later, see Alex and his mother, bed-ridden
Half-dead, sittin' in their own sick, the scent thick
[COMPANY]
And Alex got better, but his mother went quickly
[GEORGE WASHINGTON and COMPANY]
Moved in with a cousin, the cousin committed suicide
Left him with nothin' but ruined pride
Somethin' new inside
A voice saying Alex, you gotta fend for yourself
He started retreating and reading every treatise on the shelf
[BURR & COMPANY]
There would've been nothing left to do
For someone less astute
He would've been dead and destitute
Without a cent of restitution
Started workin', clerkin' for his late mother's landlord
Tradin' sugar cane and rum and other things he can't afford
Scammin' for every book he can get his hands on
Plannin' for the future, see him now as he stands on (oh)
The bow of a ship headed for a new land
In New York, you can be a new man
[COMPANY & HAMILTON]
In New York, you can be a new man (Just you wait)
In New York, you can be a new man (Just you wait)
In New York, you can be a new man
[WOMEN & MEN]
In New York (New York)
[ALEXANDER HAMILTON]
Just you wait
[COMPANY]
Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton)
We are waiting in the wings for you (Waiting in the wings for you)
You could never back down
You never learned to take your time
Oh, Alexander Hamilton (Alexander Hamilton)
America Sings for you
Do they know what you overcame?
Do they know you rewrote the game?
The world will never be the same, oh
[BURR & COMPANY]
The ship is in the harbor now
See if you can spot him (Just you wait)
Another immigrant comin' up from the bottom (Just you wait)
His enemies destroyed his rep, and America forgot him
[MULLIGAN/MADISON & LAFAYETTE/JEFFERSON]
We fought with him
[LAURENS/PHILIP]
Me, I died for him
[WASHINGTON]
Me, I trusted him
[ELIZA, ANGELICA & PEGGY/MARIA]
Me, I loved him
[BURR]
And me, I'm the damn fool that shot him
[ALL]
There are a million things I haven't done, but just you wait

What's ya name, man?

On the ignorant plenty who devote their lives
To an icon that they've never known.

And human aggression was born.

When the government system will be omnipotent
And we'll be worse off... than we are now!
Pity, pity, on the billions of ignorant people.
Pity, pity, on the masses of aggression.
Pity, pity, on the future centuries to come,
on the billions of ignorant people,

It's all a matter of looking at the past.
It's all a question, are we gonna last?
If we endure the aggression that's inside all of us
We'll wipe out our own species and thus... the world!
