about

Charleston was written by Austin Smith in the Summer of 2010 and recorded by Roots of a Rebellion at Castle Studios with engineer Jordan Reed in February 2013.

lyrics

The lights went out, inside of my mind,
Tried to fight but it refused to shine
Never knowing when it will fade to black
But these marks on my hands, help remind me of that,

I never knew, the fragility of time
Until the day He almost took mine,
It’s easy to ignore life’s simple signs,
When you’re standing on the firing line
Everyone’s afraid to die

Tears came falling down my face,
Shock and fear stood and stared, as they took me away,
Hard to believe I had a chance at all,
A brother’s instincts, my debt to you I could not repay

I will not forget the risk you took for me that fateful day,
No oh oh, No oh oh, No no no nooooooooooo
Now our lives prevail together, moving closer to the sun,
Whoa oh oh, Whoa oh oh, Whoa oh ohhhhhh-oh-ohhhh
I will not forget.

It was a volt from the blue, mysterious
Two lessons learned, burned in my heart,
It was almost the end, but here I’m singing
Thanks to Him, I now know where to start

I will not forget the miracle that was brought upon that day,
No oh oh, No oh oh, No no no noooooooooooo
How Les Harvey must have felt, that day when he died upon that stage,
Whoa oh oh, Whoa oh oh, Whoa oh ohhhhhh-oh-ohhhhhh
I will not forget.
