Asia - Rock And Roll Dream/ Live (2004) by Asia (보컬) on maniadb.com

(Wetton/Downes)

They decorated all the generals
Who fought the wars behind the lines
They had forgotten all the soldiers
The brandy put them way behind the times

Insanity has found its way to TV screens
Vision seems impossible to me
They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country
I never would have thought this in my

{chorus}
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams

The evening comes, we sit and watch the VJs
Clips and rushes come from who knows where
From Washington across to California
With fighting breaking out in Leicester Square

We see the soldiers moving on to victory
And children trampled under marching feet
They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country
How many millions will they put to sleep?

{chorus}
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams
Wildest dreams

Fly away...


No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams

They recommended euthanasia
For non-conformists anywhere
Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares
This never would have happened in my

{chorus}
Fly away...

No, not in this world
No, not in the next
No, not in my wildest dreams...

We used to live in a better world
Where sky and water were free
We point the finger
We point the gun
Is that the way it should be?

We rape the land
And we tear the skin
Burn the blood In the stone
To fuel the fire of a selfish mind
Do you want to live here alone?

Chorus:
Lay down your arms - surrender
You know you'll never get out of here
Lay down your arms - remember
No force - you'd better lay down your gun

Such are the sins of humanity
Dark is the air that we breathe
A war to hide in society
Don't close your eyes to deceive

Too many promises
Too may tears
Where does the future lie
If we burn away the years

We can make this a better world
Where sky and water are free
So give the hand without the gun
That's the way it will be

Chorus

Heat Of The Moment
by Asia




I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in 82
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings


And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well

Don't want to live in another world
Don't want to dream of another girl
That's the way it was meant to be

I couldn't sleep through the lonely night
I just cried till the morning
It's not the way it was meant to be

Chorus:
Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love my shine on you
Someday you may find the one

You didn't leave me, you ran away
Couldn't face what you had to say
It's not the way it was meant to be

Now you can live in your other world
Me, i've found me another girl
And that's the way it was meant to be

Chorus

When I dream, I dream of one world
But I know there's no such place
If I could ever find that one girl
In my world, in my world

Chorus

This problem is insoluble
The answers seem impossible
The logic ceases to exit
Emotion is the beat we miss

I stand on a world
Where dreams, realities, existence are the same
We take from our mother's skin
But the world is not to blame

Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know
So who can stop the rain?
We've lost the path for all we know
Now tell me when will it start again?
And as the old man lifts his hands
Please can you stop the rain

Stars fall far away
Like they never did before
A new moon shining
Like it never will again

Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know
So who can stop the rain?

Desert white cloud
Spirits they sing
Rain falls from the big sky
Onto broken wing

There is no sense in turning back
To wash the debris from the track
World without reason without rhyme
We fought for peace within our time

Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
We've lost the path for all we know
Please can you stop the rain

{chorus}
Rock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?

When I see the faces from the limousine
No chance of our survival
Armed forces, guardians of the law
Awaiting our arrival

They all are young
We all were young
And I've seen this place before
Open up the door
Let us in

All the things I've seen
Words I said, I didn't mean
Feelings, I took for granted
But now reality
One thing we could never see
Everything, we always wanted

They all are young
We all were young
And I've seen this place before
Open up the door
Let us in

{chorus}

If I had the choice
Words came through my voice
I should have left unspoken
Now it's obvious
Clear to all of us
The dream that now is broken

Take the stage tonight
Go face the lights
With this image you should keep
You're crying in your sleep
Tonight

{chorus}

Love under fire
We stand in the flame
Now and forever
After the rain
When is forever?
You can take it from me
It may be never
C'est la vie

Love under fire
And we stand in the flame
Now and forever
After the rain
When is forever?
You can take it from me
It may be never
Just wait and see

You can hide in the jungle
You can climb up a tree
You can scan the horizon
Tell me what you see?
As cold as a mountain
With a heart that can freeze
There's a storm on the water
With every heart that she seas

Love under fire

What on earth are you doing here, in the
western world?
Another situation yeah you're a different girl
You have lived your life dreaming you were
someone else
Succeeding's believing in yourself

Open your eyes
And see the world that stands before you now
Open your eyes
And see the world that stands in front of you

You have spent your days trying for
something new
You have looked at magazine girls, wishing
that they were you
Do you see in photographs an angel that once
was you?
Does she tell you stories that are true?

Open your eyes
And see the world that stands before you now
Open your eyes
And see the world that stands in front of you

If I could stand with you right now and speak
my mind
I would tell you no lies
I would shoot straight between the eyes
You have stared a thousand times, right into
the lens
Have you ever thought just once, does it all make sense?
Your beauty is eternal so don't just pretend
Got to wake up girl, or it's the end...

Her fingers feel the air
The mantle now so bare
From green then into brown
Lie scattered all around
We hope they will return
Like those before did learn
Now that their summer's gone
We have to carry on

Till we rise, I just can't wait
Now tell me, who are you
To judge my fate?

Chorus:
Oh, the rain burns on
Now that summer's gone
Oh, the wind blows strong
Now that summer's gone

Across the fields we ran
To emerald castles, banned
By rule of modern man
Who built a winterland
Then as the seasons change
He'll fly and hide away
Above a cloud of words
On wings of gold I heard

We must rise, it's not too late
Now tell me, who are you
To change our fate?

Chorus

From the very first rush
To the very last sigh
In a moment's touch
To the whole of time
Be the secrets of pain
Kiss the tears that you cry

Just to hold without
Get to touch within
From the sound of your breath
To the taste of your skin
I'd give all my days
Just for one of your nights

I've just got to get next to you
Let it out, let it go

Chorus:
Desire, make it physical
Looks to feed the thrill
Desire, with its hungry eyes
Closing for the kill
Desire, all that's left in me
Tears the night in two
Desire, like a primitive
Claw my way to you
Are you thinking of me
Like I'm thinking of you?

How the innocence dies
In a passionate stare
A shaft of light
A silent dare
The call of the wild...

From the very first crime
Of original sin
To the carnal lie
Where the truth begins
Just to feel your nails
Lift me up like wings

I've just got to get next to you
Let it out, let it go

Chorus

Don't read "Marx"
He's a clean cut guy
Just the dream
On a TV eye
If you swim
In the dark
You lose a hand
When you feed the shark

Chorus:
Little rich boy, she's gonna find you
Little rich boy
Little rich boy, those claws will blind you
Just a little rich boy

She got hooks
In your veins
Feel the pleasure
Kill the pain
Drop a pearl
See the dragon fly
Crack the diamond
Do you still feel high?

Chorus

Only Time Will Tell
by Asia




You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starry-eyed
You'd think that I would have known by now

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

CHORUS:
Only time will tell
One thing is sure
That time will tell
Only time will tell
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die

Now sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lying's over
Gone, like the tears that used to tide me over

You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

Only time will tell
I see it now, become so clear
Only time will tell
Your insincerity
And me all starry-eyed
You'd think that I would have known by now

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
The lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

Only time will tell
You're on your own inside your room
Only time will tell
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now
Only time will tell
One thing is sure...
