Once again we return to the land of the blue. The last time the Tigers had graced the land of the Commonwealth, they had shocked and humiliated the Wildcats in the final act. In mere seconds the grasp of victory was snatched away. Fast forward to this day, the Tigers return and are at the top of the pack while the Wildcats are the strongest they've been in years. Could this be the day they redeem themselves and their homeland? Could this finally be the day the Wildcats ease the memory of the day that burned?
lyrics
the day has finally arrived
it was never about revenge
to be redeemer, of our lost hopes and dreams
by the length of our fingertips we held back time
if only for an instance, like waves of a distant shoreline
oh redemption in sight
familiar faces flood my consciousness
never knowing, only seeing
a fleeting second, belief made real
when fantasy ceases
and reality dreams
a story is told
believe what was
a story will be told
when time stretched out its hand
fate brought us back again
the field that lay the land
will be the home of hope
when time stretched out its hand
fate brought us back again
the field that lay the land
will be the home of hope
of redemption long past due
that hearts will yearn for
just one more step ahead
while out of breath again
gotta keep on running, running
keep on running
the hearts and minds that conjure a thought
burn inside
with hope that this day
may ease our pain
may slow decay
we will prosper on
"Today is the day redemption takes hold
easing the memory of the day that burned
it was not foretold
it was not predicted
so it shall be written
by the warriors of old"
the year will pass
as the others have
prestige will take over
your story will fade
like a fallen dream
resistance is futile
you become a forgotten footnote
etched in sand, a meaningless record
pointless, unnecessary
a cause with no substance
the righteousness of the two sides
never doubting that they are wrong
that the enemy is just beyond the ridge
that they are different even though we are the same
these differences will be the end of us
and we will throw away the memories
the good and the bad
the pageantry and the parody
our faces, we're with you
these moments, stay with you
When reality ceases
and fantasy dreams
a story is told
believe what was
the story will be...told
When fantasy ceases
and reality dreams
a story is told
if you just believe
let the story be told
