LEADERS OF A REVOLUTION

[Shannon says: The original name of the Hounds of Glory's CD that they burned to sell at concerts, to which a few tracks were later added and it was re-released as the first Flying Glory and the Hounds of Glory CD.  This song, out of my personal songbook, inspired the CD title but I never had plans to actually use it in the stories except maybe in a flashback sequence. ]

Something's coming quickly

Hear the battle cry

Distant sound of thunder

Booming in the sky

CHORUS:

Leaders of a revolution

A new era's coming 'round

We're marching into town

And turning it, turning it

Turning it upside down

Fighting rages everywhere

They say we can't win

But if we keep our faith

Chances won't wear thin

CHORUS

Leaders of a revolution, baby!

HEY ASHLEY

[Shannon says: I had originally written this years earlier but tinkered it some to fit the Flying Glory universe, Originally planned because we were contemplating a storyline based around a charity concert for the homeless, which was where our heroes were originally going to meet Dyllian Nash (who now appears at the Glamm concert at the end of "First Movement").  If you look into Lucy's backstory, she and her father lived out of their car for a period when she was young.  Due to some larger arc rearrangement, the charity concert was dropped... for now. This is one song that may crop up much later down the line, possibly in another revised form.]

An old cardboard box 

Keeps rain off her head

A few cans scrounged up

Barely buy her a meal

She's only fourteen

What a life she's seen

CHORUS:

Hey Ashley

Where you going tonight?

It's cold on the streets

With little to eat

And no place to sleep

I want to find you a home

Her family's address

is "By  the river"

Or  "Under the bridge"

Whichever's not taken

No school, no friends, nothing

As hope slowly dies

CHORUS

What's the future hold?

Ashley doesn't know

The street knows dead dreams

How much time before

Her young soul's sold to things

Too adult for her?

Hey Ashley

Hope's around the corner

Don't give up...

YOU ARE MY HERO

[Shannon says:  A very early draft of a song that was abandoned due to the fact we decided to pursue this particular plot later on. While techinally finished, I suspect this one will show up later in a revised form.]

Sometimes things just get too much

For me to handle on my own

I know you will arrive with aid

To try and get me safely home

CHORUS:

You put it on the line for me

A knight in armor shining 

Bright against the dark city

You are my hero

Chaos seems to fully consume 

As confusion rages around 

In my heart, I know you're working

To try and keep me safe and sound 

CHORUS

You are my hero
