Asia - Alive In Hallowed Halls [compilation, live] (2001) by Asia (보컬) on maniadb.com

Fate looks certain but there's nothing guaranteed
Want for nothing, but is nothing what you need?
Always pushing but you're never satisfied
I did believe you 'til I found out that you lied

Chorus:
Time and time again
Time and time again again

For what I give you I get nothing in return
Can't forgive you watching all your bridges burn
All day long I sat and watched you do it wrong
Have to say that's how you did it all along

Chorus

But others wouldn't see things you could only see
And someone showed you, then why was it always me
You knew the limit you were always out of bounds
How could I trust you when I caught you messing 'round

Chorus

(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...

Gazing at our sunrise
Reflected in your clear eyes
Misty morning forest smoke fires

Make our way through the broken day
I couldn't stand to stay
Without you

We must keep moving
While the light is clearing
Leaving your dark world behind you

You have to run
Life is just begun
I'll never be alone
Without you

One chilling thought
Come screaming through the dark
I saw a yellow moon at midnight

And now you woke
Glowing in the smoke
I'm suddenly alone
Without you

Wanting things the way they used to be
You don't know what that can do to me
One more day, maybe never
Might as well be forever

Outside the light,fading as I write
And another night reminds me

As I sleep, memory that I keep
It's just another night
Without you

It seems so long
I've been holding on
Since I felt my arms around you

Time will go, both of us will know
Never be a day
Without you

As far as the eye could see
From the horizon to infinity
Static forces down the line
Connecting voices talking rhymes

Can't decode nor can define
The signal's perfect indicates a sign

Midnight sun
Guiding light
Take the eye
Go skimming
Across the sky

As far as the eye could see
Communications were all down
Connecting voices in the air
New formations moving sound
Then came what I could not explain
I felt a hand turned 'round and saw a face

Midnight sun
Guiding light
Take the eye
Go skimming
Across the sky...

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...

All of the nights when the light was low and day seemed so far away
Darkness was endless and I kept seeing ghosts turn in shades of grey
I wanted to see things just the way they used to be
Don't want those shadows hanging over me

Daylight, I wanna see daylight
Wanna see daylight that shines all around
Daylight, I wanna see clear blue light
Wanna see daylight that shines all around

Hours and hours in towers on the back road of tragedy
Voices are calling and fingers come on crawling all over me
Then when I sit up and my hands begin to shake
Suddenly there I see the dawn break

Only one thing keeping me sane, oh

I saw you standing hand in hand
But now you come to me the solitary man
And I know what it is that made us live
Such ordinary lives
The where to go, the who to see
No one could sympathize

The smile has left your eyes
The smile has left your eyes

And I've become a rolling stone
I don't know where to go
Or what to call my own
But I can see that black horizon
Looming ever close to view
It's over now, it's not my fault
See how this feels for you

The smile has left your eyes
The smile has left your eyes

I never thought I'd see you
Standing there with him
So don't come crawlin' back to me

I saw you standing hand in hand
But now you come to me the solitary man
And I know what it is that made us live
Such ordinary lives
The where to go, the who to see
No one could sympathize

The smile has left your eyes
Now it's too late you realized
Now there's no one can sympathize
Now that the smile has left your eyes

Now it's too late you realized
Now there's no one can sympathize
Now it's too late you realized
Now that the smile has left your eyes

The smile has left your eyes

Don't Cry
by Asia




Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you’ve always been mistreated, cheated

So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh

Don’t Cry now that I’ve found you
Don’ Cry take a look around you
Don’t Cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please Don’t Dry

I knew I’d never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Don’t think of all that’s been before

I’ll hear you when you’re calling
I’ll catch you when you’re falling
Don’t worry I will always be there, like never before, or, oh

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...
