Time came to leave
You know there's something About the principle Of what goes on behind the scenes The military machine The way they led me on... Stiletto in the sand Thrusted down in anger Bloody to the handle Diamond red Machines of mass destruction Well I helped to design them The guilt of children's blood stains on my hands The word from the board room Our boys in Tehran have scored How long till we realize the truth? The bottom line of defense and world security The bankers and the ministry of arms Just cut the deal and the war is on The village burned the desert set ablaze Who are these men with their finger's in everybody's pie? Big rockets and their profiles all the rage Their business plan calls for ware for sale Please understand Until I saw all this I never thought about the third world trampled under wheels Out in the streets and in the fields I simply questioned it all... Stiletto in the sand Fingers on the triggers Tempers boiling over Bleed them red Machines of mass destruction Oh why did I design them? The guilt of children's blood stains on my hands Napalm and land mines Nobody left alive How long 'til we realize the truth? The bottom line of defense and world security the banker's and the ministry of arms Just cut the deal and the war is on The market screams a recommended buy The contract's in don't just sit there get your broker on the line Big money left their morals far behind Guess what we've got - we got war for sale How long 'til we realize the truth? The bottom line of defense and world security the banker's and the ministry of arms Just cut the deal and the war is on The village burned the desert set ablaze Who are these men with their finger's in everybody's pie? Then freedom's ring departed from today There's just no doubt - we got war for sale! |

Yesterday is over
Stripped of my clearance - fired I don't know what to do Haunted by empty faces Victims of warring madness If they only knew Their world's a bloody mess Some corporate bottom line I tried to ask and they treat me like a threat And they slammed the door behind Yesterday I walked away into a cold cold city So afraid our world today is just a house of lies Just believe in what you feel They used to say they used to say Then out of nowhere I melt into my busy day Reaching out in my world Becomes a matter of Connections to the net I've locked myself in real good Investigative research Looking for what is real Welcome to the brave new world No light inside my soul The more I learn the deeper in I'm drawn The deeper in I fall Yesterday I walked away into a cold cold city Ain't it strange how wars get raged to sounds of smashing dreams Just believe in what you feel They used to say they used to say Then out of nowhere One world No Chance Is this the new human race? A faceless contact with life Imaginary places stealing all of my time Is this a test of my faith? What's to become of my life I used to see it so clear But now I've lived to see it pass away Before my eyes |

Days at a time pass
In the dead of the night is when you come to me You've got so much to say Just spread your wings and ride On the electric universe Behind your computer What do you picture when you read my Words and thoughts and dreams? Do they all come alive and breathe? It's no wonder This is a brand new world we're on I'd really like to meet you somewhere along The way you come to me is such a mistery I just reach out and connect A thousand miles from me and yet it's all right here It's electric on a silver thread I never see your face you're such a mystery Where you are I can only guess Addictive screens I just cannot turn away Where are you anyway? Those things you say seem so damn far from real But I can tell you this I have seen things for myself that just don't seem right I have always been an honest man I believed that the system Worked for You and for Me but - no You say it's just a show And we've all been way too busy Or too spoiled to even care who's got the wheel I used to look behind the lies Use to look for sunny skies I learned so much since I've been Hacking their computer systems The truth had knocked me to the floor That a boy now out the door A little power and I'm On my way to logging on the world The way you come to me is such a mistery I just reach out and connect A thousand miles from me and yet it's all right here It's electric on a endless thread I never see your face you're such a mystery And your touch I can only guess I lay here dreaming We're so gone away The way you come to me is such a mystery I just reach out and connect A thousand miles from me and yet it's all right here Just electric on a silver web Ane every night you're here you are my mystery And where you are I can only guess Morning's rising And it's dawn again |

Too late for us now?
I sat alone and I spoke out loud On this darkened afternoon The windows to my room A solemn shutter on the world Where I used to laugh and dream For the first time in so long I make My way down to the street and watch The people as they pass Outside I breathe the air And all around fall shadows of despair I wonder is there hope for us A place where we can all be free I wonder is there life inside a soul that dies? I wonder is there hope for us To lift me up I don't know when I'll see the sun again I'd like to feel alive Just one more time Headlines on the floor Today's bitterness is the calling card The commercial masquerade The goods all on parade The needs of life are charming toys We've gone deaf from all the noise WHen did the rich and powerful elite Slowly and unnoticed Come and steal our innocense? Entranced - we danced their dance The stage is set the crowd is on their knees I wonder is there hope for us A place where we can all be free I wonder is there life inside a soul that dies I wonder is there hope for us We're stranded with no place to go I'm feeling so alone I'll try to make my way Through one more day |

Downtown I walk
Through New York City so hot The summer swelter melting Got things on my mind right now In the alleys that I take They just don't give up an inch I turned and saw it all I watched him fall I tried to catch him But they knocked me out cold too "Babylon" he cried The cost in flesh and blood is rising high Things are falling apart it all seems Bleeding in the gutter The waste of random acts of violence Where's the Savior to resuce our dreams? Desperation's crawling We're victims of a world that's gone so wrong? Hours later when I woke I was lying in some darkened basement rescue mission They're tending to my needs and wounds They were such a sorry lot The very bottom of the social ladder I just caught myself before I cried They've nothing at all But they're the only ones there to help Eden's sin's alive Stalking me Stalking everyone Things are falling apart it all seems Tears that speak in volumes The eyes of all these hopeless people Where's the Savior to rescue our dreams? Desperation's crawling On victims of a power hungry world! |

I am only just a broken spirit
All the things unseen right before my eyes How could i have ever been so blind To the truth into the screen behind bitter lies? I feel so lost and so alone in this room tonight Is nothing ever going to change? I've lost my will I need somebody To help me write out my next page Where i ride into the sunset I race towards the dawn I might have been a hero A king and not just a pawn But that's the way that the story goes you know "It's not that way for me" And i wake up cold and lonely And stare into the screen... |

Long ago a living story
Walked the whole world phrophesying Told of days when the hand of God Pulls away from the world All hell starts breaking out I see it clear It pounds the cold into your life It turns to gray what's black and white I've torn their mask off I can see them What a bloody mess That's our world! My father's final moments And I was there to catch his last breath He spoke so eloquently Said "Listen boy the way it goes is soley Up to you and you alone To live your life in strength that's been passed on Blood to blood." So we come to a crossroad I'm not sinking - do you see me? I am standing where the strong of heart Meet the wicked bad Murals painted in the dungeons Were the dreams that caused transforming I am coming back to life again Life again A power's lifting me I journey to the light Many secrets passed before my eyes It's just a matter of time 'til new horizons will unfold Tearing down the walls between us Resurrect this poisoned world "Fore the hopes and dreams of all the land are blown into the sky There are things worth more than money You got to learn to hold them high I believe - I believe I've seen what comes of greed and money I feel a growing call for action We need changes now like never before Never in this world The more I think about it I know a woman whoh just might set the course for me Cause I believe I believe in what she says Sometimes this world is simply Trembling - crumbling Coming time to banish it for evermore Evermore The time for final judgement's close at hand Four horsemen mount on high Wake up in the morning to the sound of children dying The latest technology mesmerize them Love strong enough that it can pull you from the fire now What about you? What about you? I am alive! It's just a matter of time 'til new horizons will unfold Tearing down the walls between us Resurrect this poisoned world "Fore the hopes and dreams of all the land are blown into the sky There are things worth more than money You got to learn to hold them high I believe - I believe |

[A) EMPOWERED]
Are your deeds so really bad? Your secret life untold Please tell me Just try me But you say goodnight and shut me down until tomorrow When you come to life again And reveal just maybe What's going on inside of you The real you Strange feeling Right now I want to look you in the eyes And tell you how I feel I've lived the life of a lonely man And I've traveled roads of thunder Calling out to Heaven Send your rain on down Time has come to make my move I want to join with you I'm not powerless tonight I'm tired of silent conversations With a mystery It's so strange We both know We've grown so close It's like you're mine and I am yours And that's where things go wrong You're not meant to be invisible Please speak to me with spoken words And prove you're real I never knew that I could feel with such conviction And I just don't understand what separates our world I've lived the life of a lonely man And I've traveled roads of thunder Calling out to Heaven Send your rain on down Time has come to make my move I want to join with you I'm not powerless tonight What if I cross the line And I show you I mean business Prove that we're alike And send some rain on down? Seems to me in these busy days It's not just what you say You gotta turn it back on them and fight! I feel my life turning pages at the mercy of the wind There it is now The course for me to take Embed a virus in the system Send their money flying to the ground Financially restrained The network down in flames It's gonna take all that I know But in the end they'll be mourning Their system as it bleeds and dies [B) VIRUS] [C) POWERLESS] I've lived the life of a lonely man Now there's no more time for waiting What I've gone and done I sent the rain on down What happens next is now up to you You gotta make a move Don't leave me powerless tonight I really mean it we've got to talk This is something you believe in Calling out to Heaven Send your line on down Now you know that I'm on my own I'm waiting by the phone You're not powerless tonight |

There I was all alone all by myself
And you were just a ghost behind a screen The few short months we spent Long distance late nights just the two of us I've grown to picture you I've pictured you with me There are things I've just not told you Works of treason wrought by these very hands I've been scared for me Now I'm scared for you And so it's best I say farewell No no no Where you're going I will be there And every time you reach out I'm there Where you're going I will be there You've got to believe me I'll never go away You listen close I've got to run and hide myself away I think I may have brought them to their knees There were your thoughts Oh how they drew me in I need to be with you I've nowhere else to turn All through my life I've had such an emptiness That no one could ever fill Some how your dreams they've touched my life You see I think I'd like to try Where you're going I will be there And every time you reach out I'm there Where you're going I will be there You've got to believe me I'll never go away Our only hope I would say Is to rendezvous somewhere far away Just decipher the location that I send Now I think that they are on to you Our time has come Where you're going I will be there And every time you reach out I'm there Where you're going I will be there You've got to believe me I'll never go away |

Good day my fellow citizen
I don't mean to intrude But allow me to get right down to the point We've monitored transmissions We calculate your moves Did you really think you're hidden from our sight? Your name's been added to a list that's been compiled Our agency considers you a risk Secret power I can't believe Growing stronger I feel them Strengthening their grip So there you are you crossed the line You pathetic little man Well rest assured the worst you feared is true In the seduction of society we play upon desire Spoiled and drunk that's you Can this be happening? This world is just a grand facade You're just a simple man at heart A victim playing out a part Oh I just want my freedom Where are the ones who back you now? I feel abandoned fee like Screaming at the walls Too bad the walls have ears This never ever should have been But that's the way it is This is the new world order This is the corporate sponsored Changing of the guard The march is on I can feel it - I can feel it's tyranny It's all about the power This rising new world order Strong arm of the law The march is on I can see it - I can see it's tyranny The point you fail to see is The simple beauty of our subtle mind control Brainwashing media is all we need to set the boundaries Advanced communication You're at our fingertips now We own the TV stations Entertainment, Publications Wall street is our breeding ground The sphere of our control extends through Governments and leaders who will buy our arms Yes buy our arms and run our evil wars Run our evil wars run this evil world into the ground This is the new world order This your corporate sponsored life I see through your disguises Your rising new world order lies You've no idea the power my new world order is alive You don't really think you have a prayer I don't know where to go to avoid your Staring eyes and universal grasp upon all life This world is mine! This is the new world order This your corporate sponsored life It's all about the power This rising new world order rise |

Walking down some highway midnight North Dakota
Somewhere 'round late fall I knew that the time Has come for me I'm willing a million stars above me I tried to catch their fall I tried to catch their fall Inside I felt so empty A stranger to this world so lost And as the winter draws I'm turning north I'm leaving things behind I just don't need The only things in life of worth are free To anyone's who's heard the call And turned and walked away I've traveled too long on my own I've got a dream of home Safe at last... Where are all the answers And visionary wisdom From the stately and esteemed? Just as I thought... Disconsolate I ponder The evil human nature And what it really means For the ones who paved the way No bag of gold can save their souls It's like they never feared But now their end is near The flames start leaping Baby don't it drop you to your knees? The only thing in life of worth is free To anyone's who's heard the call And turned and run away Despite this nasty world I roam Imagine going home Ghost of a chance |

Outside the twilight rides high
And whispers of love sound deep in the night Hope and promise of peace in our land Is this Christmastime? Dark winter watches our fire And brings us promise of a new day Distant eyes have gone a long way Too far to see the snow that falls The winds of change have come and gone The cold has come I've been left out I need your warmth you're all I have If you're chasing a dream to nowhere It's enchantment that leads the way Just believe in yourself and go there The gift of hope on Christmas day If every eye holds a blank stare After winter's gone away Just believe in yourself and go there You and I on Christmas day There's a time when your doubts won't matter There's a time all your fears can wait All the times in the year for laughter Oh Christmas day |
