Keep Your Powder Dry
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
You must do what you desire
You must save your soul entire
You must figure out what works
And don't you be a liar
Can't be a liar
Do what your soul demands
Your future in your hands
Don't forget the left behind
The faces of the damned
The faces of the damned
Don't wait keep right on
But be aware
Don't take too long
The time just seems to fly
Just keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry
You must be brave and bold
You must be hard and cold
You must forget the rules
Before you're bought and sold
Before you're bought and sold
Do what you know is right?
No need to start a fight
No need to raise the ghosts
In the haunted night
In the haunted night
Don't move, hold your tongue
Don't take too long, don't get it wrong
Time has other first to fry
Just keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry
Right there
You know what's right and wrong
You should know what's going on
Just hold the line my friend
Keep holding on
Keep holding on
You really have no choice
You have to make a noise
Silence ain't an option now
We have to hear your voice
We got to hear your voice
Don't move brace yourself
There's no one else
There's no one else
No need to be so shy
Just keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry
Keep your powder dry
