II. Innocence [03:50] I remember a time, My frail, virgin mind, watched the crimson sunrise Imagined what it might find, Life was filled with wonder I felt the warm wind blow, I must explore the boundaries Transcend the depth of winter's snow, Innocence caressing me I never felt so young before.There was so much life in me Still I longed to search for more, But those days are gone now Changed like a leaf on a tree, Blown away forever, into the cool autumn breeze, The snow has now fallen, and my sun's not so bright, I struggle to hold on with the last of my might, In my den of inequity, viciousness and subtlety struggle to ease the pain, struggle to find the sane, Ignorance surrounding me I've never been so filled with fear, All my life's been drained from me The end is drawing near....
III. Carpe Diem [06:54]
I'll always remember The chill of November The news of the fall The sounds in the hall The clock on the wall ticking away 'Seize the Day' I heard him say Life will not always be this way Look around Hear the sounds Cherish your life while you're still around
We can learn from the past But those days are gone We can hope for the future But there might not be one The words stuck in my mind alive from what I've learned I have to seize the day To home I returned Preparing for her flight I held with all my might Fearing my deepest fright She walked into the night She turned for one last look She looked me in the eye I said, 'I Love You...Good-bye' IV. The Darkest of Winters [10:08] (Instrumental)
V. Another World [13:01] So far or so it seems All is lost with nothing fulfilled Off the pages and the T.V. screen Another world where nothing's true Tripping through the life fantastic Lose a step and never get up Left alone with a cold blank stare I feel like giving up I was blinded by a paradise Utopia high in the sky A dream that only drowned me Deep in sorrow, wondering why Oh come let us adore him Abuse and then ignore him No matter what, don't let him be Let's feed upon his misery Then string him up for all the world to see I'm sick of all you hypocrites holding me at bay And I don't need your sympathy to get me through the day Seasons change and so can I Hold on Boy, No time to cry Untie these strings, I'm climbing down I won't let them push me away Oh come let us adore him Abuse and then ignore him No matter what, don't let him be Let's feed upon his misery Now it's time for them to deal with me
VI. The Inevitable Summer [16:59] (Instrumental)
VII. The Crimson Sunset [20:12] I'm much wiser now A lifetime of memories run through my head They taught me how for better or worse, alive or dead I realize there's no turning back Life goes on the offbeaten track I sit down with my son Set to see the Crimson Sunset (Gather ye rosebuds while ye may) Many years have come and gone I've lived my life, but now must move on (Gather ye rosebuds while ye may) He's my only one Now that my time has come Now that my life is done We look into the sun 'Seize the day and don't you cry, Now it's time to say good-bye Even though I'll be gone, I will live on, live on.'
The roses in the window box Have tilted to one side Everything about this house Is gonna grow and die
Well it doesn't seem a year ago To this very day You said sorry honey If I don't change the pace I can't face another day
*And love lies bleeding in my hand Oh it kills me to think of you with another man I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan When my guitar couldn't hold you So I split the band Love lies bleeding in my hands
I wonder if those changes Have left a scar on you All the burning hoops of fire That you and I passed through
You're a bluebird on a telegraph line I hope you're happy now While if the wind of change coming down your way girl You'll make it back somehow
Can you remember remember my name As I flow through your life A thousand oceans I have flown And cold spirits of ice All my life I am the echo of your past
I am returning the echo of a point in time Distant faces shine A thousand warriors I have known And laughing as the spirits appear All your life Shadows of another day
And if you hear me talking on the wind You've got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers
I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow
A strand of silver hanging through the sky Touching more than you see The voice of ages in your mind Is aching with the dead of the night Precious life (your tears are lost in falling rain)
And if you hear me talking on the wind You've got to understand We must remain Perfect Strangers
i. In The Flesh? - Roger Waters (Pink Floyd - from the album "The Wall")
So you thought you might like to, Go to the show. To feel the warm thrill of confusion, That space cadet glow. Tell me is something eluding you, Sunshine? Is this not what you expected to see? If you wanna find out what's behind these cold eyes, You'll just have to claw your way through this disguise.
Lights... Roll the sound effects... Action... Drop it! Drop it on 'em! Drop it on 'em!
ii. Carry On Wayward Son - Kerry Livgren (Kansas - from the album "Leftoverture") (instrumental)
iii. Bohemian Rhapsody - Freddie Mercury (Queen - from the album "A Night At The Opera")
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye. So you think you can love me and leave me to die. Oh, baby, can't do this to me, baby, Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here.
iv. Lovin', Touchin', Squeezin' - Steve Perry (Journey - from the album "Evolution")
You make me weep and wanna die Just when you said we'd try Lovin', touchin', squeezin' Each other
When I'm alone all by myself You're out with someone else Lovin', touchin', squeezin' Each other
You're tearing me apart Every, every day You're tearin' me apart Oh, what can I say? You're tearin' me apart It won't be long, no, until You're alone When you're lover, oh he hasn't Come home 'Cause he's lovin', oh he's touchin', he's squeezin' Another
He's tearin' you apart Every, every day He's tearin' you apart Oh girl what can you say? 'Cause he's lovin', touchin', Another Now it's your turn, girl, to cry
