• The Core - Eric Clapton
• The Core - Cream & Eric Clapton
• The Core - Avery Watts
• The Core - Gollum

by Eric Clapton and Marcy Levy
Every morning when I wake, a feeling soon begins to overtake me.
Ringing in my ears resounds through my brain; it finally surrounds me.
There is fire, there is life, there is passion, fever and fury.
There is love and there is hate, there is longing, anger and worry.
Oh, I am a flame; feel it touch my heart.
And down at my core is the hottest part.
I can run without fear.
If it should become too cold, I know I can endure the frostbite.
Oh, a blanket then I'll wrap around me; I keep myself so close to my sight.
No one then can cause me harm, just as the river runs into the sea.
'Cause every day, a fire alarm is deafening the silence all around me.
Chorus
It is burning.
It is burning.
You can trust me; we can laugh. Together we can share our sorrow.
I will give you secrets too, an attitude that you may borrow.
Gypsy woman said to me, "One thing you must bear in your mind:
You are young and you are free, but damned if you're deceased in your own lifetime."
Oh, you have a flame; feel it in your heart.
And down at the core is the hottest part.
We can run without fear.
It is burning.
It is burning.

(VERSE 1)
I stand as, one of the elite
You cannot, cut me from a sheet
I'm free and, out of your control
So you can try but you'll
NEVER TAKE MY SOUL
I do not fit under a thumb
Born ready, now the time has come
Take a look around, I am not alone
So if you're down then
LET IT BE KNOWN
(PRE-CHORUS)
Count me in, no matter where or when
I'm in this until the end
(CHORUS)
We (WE)
Are (ARE)
All (ALL)
Something more
We (WE)
Are (ARE)
The (THE)
We are The Core
(VERSE 2)
We are united by a code
We walk a narrow winding road
We're more than anything you've got
'Cause we're made of
EVERYTHING YOU'RE NOT
We won't be
STOPPED
Try it and you'll get
DROPPED
Do you want some?
MORE

Rising…Take shape, from underground
Buried beneath this unholy soil
Writhing, contorted the lonesome road
Dealer of death, I have seen the core
My delusion, blind to the trust
All-consuming, cold to the touch
My confusion, numb to the truth
Retribution, retaking what’s mine
Retake what’s mine…
Reaching…Below me, the underground
Half as my shadow, half nemesis
Offspring of that begotten road
Linger behind me, await my fall
My affliction, release my hold
My redemption, regaining my soul
