The Eurovision comparisons are spot on. I also hear a bit of The Rasmus in it. The lyrics may have a bit of an edge to them, but the music of the track makes them sound rather ridiculous.

Solo is surprisingly poserish, but seems kinda aimless.

i definitely like it. Really catchy, rockier that the last one. Wonder which album this was meant for?? I actually like the guitar solo, didn't know Shanks could play like that, it was well constructed throughout and fit the song perfectly.

Now that did get me somewhat excited. But, is a bit less overproduction too much to ask? And reusing the "won't back down" line takes some magic away.
Other than that, sounds like a first single to me that actually has a fresh vibe.

You're a cool dude, so here's my take on the first verse and chorus:

Aaah, take a look around you
Yeah the sky is falling
Sinners say you prayers
This train is off the tracks
Nothing is forever when
Tomorrow's calling
Dancing with the devil
Take you one big ???

Yeah

Not afraid of burning bridges
'cause I know they're gonna light my way
Like a Phoenix from the ashes
Welcome to the future, it's a new day

We don't run
I'm standing my ground
We don't run
And we don't back down
There's fire in the sky
There's thunder on the mountain
??????????????????????
We don't run
We don't run

Man, whole lot of cliches and past songs rolled into there.

Whatever, STILL looking forward to hearing the music on this one. Really appreciate the quick typing!

Well, that's a song Jon's never gonna be able to sing live. Actually nobody is because it's so overproduced and edited

The change into the chorus is so obviously done with a different take it doesn't even sound like Jon.

Rest of the song:
Take me to the banks of your muddy water
We're the flesh and blood and the spirit ???
Well he takes your touch from me (??????)
To find salvation
You're the only reason that I still believe

Not afraid of burning bridges...

We don't run...

Fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain
Fire in the sky, there's thunder on the mountain

(Solo)

We don't run...



So, no actual bridge in that one - appropriately enough.

The songs on this album are not meant to be sung live. They're on an album that Jon didn't want to release so the band won't bother learning them for the next tour.

I think I heard:
... and I was wanted
We don't run
We don't run
