The long wait is almost over We’re coming back for another round Several shows in many different countries We specialize in the future sound The setlist has been assembled We've got a list of favorites old and new One hundred thousand songs to choose from We may have picked one written by you The long line wraps around the corner We've gathered fans from near and far So many people from all walks of life We lit the way with our brightest star The excitement is slowly rising We've got a few things to get done The clock ticks; the countdown begins Ready to go in four, three, two, one All around the world Until every song is heard Step inside Leave your world behind It's time to set aside whatever's on your mind The stage is set The lights are going down It’s time to get ready The future is now The shockwave pulses through your body We’re moving 'round at the speed of light So throw your hands up high in the air Charging ahead, there's no end in sight We'll go all around the world Until every song is heard Step inside Leave your world behind It's time to set aside whatever's on your mind The stage is set The lights are going down It’s time to get ready The future is now

It all started when I was younger Just an awkward kid in grade school Navigating the waters of childhood All I really wanted was to be heard I wouldn't have to take it much longer What didn't kill me made me stronger Can't break the spirit that's inside me There's a fire that burns deep within Can't stop the energy that drives me There's a light that shines on forever Can't crush the dreams that inspire me You only get one life, make it worthwhile Can't catch a star that isn't falling Watch out, I'm a radiating SUPERNOVA It all worsened as I got older Such an awkward teen in high school Suffering the pains of adolescence All I really wanted was to fit in I don't have to take it any longer What doesn't kill me makes me stronger Can't break the spirit that's inside me There's a fire that burns deep within Can't stop the energy that drives me There's a light that shines on forever Can't crush the dreams that inspire me You only get one shot, make it matter Can't catch a star that isn't falling Stand back, I'm exploding like a SUPERNOVA

Staring at the waters edge Listening to the beat of your own heart Can you feel the calm before the storm? Throttle up, the engines roar Racing to confront the threat ahead Can you see the clouds forming in the distance? Go - Into the firestorm we ride Soar - Into the firestorm we fly Titans charge as we join the fight Angels sing as two worlds collide Valkyries dance in a symphony of light Breaking through the stratosphere Leaving Earth behind to touch the stars Can you see the home we must defend? Standing at the planet's edge We are pushing forward unto dawn Can you feel the hopes of those back on the ground? Go - Into the firestorm we ride Soar - Into the firestorm we fly Titans fall as we turn the tide Voices ring with our battle cry Skies ablaze in a symphony of light

Summertime in the bustling city Stuck at home on a Saturday night What good is being there when you're all alone? Downtown at the Solar Ballroom We're swinging on 'til the break of dawn Catch me belt out a little tune on my microphone I've got a message for you I'm gonna set this place ablaze I don't mess around Gonna light your world on fire Burn it down I'm gonna burn this house down to the ground You got one last chance to get outta town I'm gonna set the world on fire Burn it down (ski-bi-di-ba pi-po-pi-pa pi-pa-ba-da-da) Loud music getting people moving Jumping and jiving and all that jazz Ella says, without swing "it don't mean a thing" Showtime at the Solar Ballroom You bought the ticket; gonna take the ride Watch me unleash the fire of a thousand suns It's time to pay your dues I'm gonna set this place ablaze I don't mess around Gonna light your world on fire Burn it down I'm gonna burn this house right to the ground You got one last chance to get outta town I'm gonna set the world on fire Burn it down (ski-bi-di-ba pi-po-pi-pa pi-pa-ba-da-da) Let's go! I'm gonna set this place ablaze I don't mess around Gonna light your world on fire Burn it down I'm gonna burn this house right to the ground You got one last chance to get outta town I'm gonna set the world on fire Burn it down Burn it down! (ski-bi-di-ba pi-po-pi-pa pi-pa-ba-da-da)

Gather 'round to the sound of my voice A tale is about to be told In a town underground, there's a spot A place that's a century old Step inside for a while, don't be shy Come on, join the live celebration Glorified far and wide, hear that beat A scene with a wild reputation The cats will play when the sun's away Down at the club on Nocturne Alley Patrons arrive as the full moon starts to rise The stars come out under heavens bright People shrugging off their daily plight Let's get down as the ballroom comes to life Lights out Lock the door Here come the spirits of the night Gather 'round to the sound of the band The music begins to take hold In that town underground, there's a vibe A style that's remarkably bold Step and slide all the while, don't sit by (scatting) Unified side-by-side, feel that beat (scatting) The cats all play when the sun's away Down at the club on Nocturne Alley The dancers thrive as the full moon starts to rise The guests take flight under candles bright Sweeping the stage with tremendous might What a sight...although, the key spirit here's the wine Let's go Hit the floor Swing to the rhythm of the night Let's go! The cats all play when the sun's away Down at the club on Nocturne Alley The dancers thrive as the full moon starts to rise The guests take flight under candles bright Sweeping the stage with tremendous might Let's get down as the ballroom comes to life Lights out Lock the door Here come the children of the night
