Oooooooo ooo ooo ooooh Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs Did you ever wonder Why we had to run for shelter When the promise of a brave new world Unfurled beneath a clear blue sky
Oooooooo ooo ooooo oooh Did you see the frightened ones Did you hear the falling bombs The flames are all long gone But the pain lingers on Goodbye blue sky Goodbye blue sky Goodbye Goodbye

Darkness, Darkness Be my pillow Take my head And let me sleep In the coolness of your shadow In the silence of your deep
Darkness, Darkness Hide my yearning For the things I cannot be Keep my mind from constant turning Toward the things I cannot see now Things I cannot see now Things I cannot see
Darkness, darkness, Long and lonesome, Ease the day that brings me pain. I have felt the edge of sadness, I have known the depth of fear. Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night, Take away, take away the pain of knowing, Fill the emptiness of right now, Emptiness of right now, now, now Emptiness of ri-ight now.
Darkness, darkness, be my pillow, Take my hand, and let me sleep. In the coolness of your shadow, In the silence, the silence of your deep. Darkness, darkness, be my blanket, Cover me with the endless night, Take away, take away the pain of knowing Fill the emptiness of right now, Emptiness of right now now now Emptiness of right... Oh yeah Oh yeah Emptiness, emptiness Oh yeah
The little creatures Run in from the cold Back to the nest Just like the days of old There in the safety Of a mother's arms The warmth of ages, Far away from harm again.
Ears ringin' From the battle fire The tired warrior Aims a little higher The black falcon Or the little sparrow The healing light Or the flash of the barrel.
No one wins It's a war of man, No one wins It's a war of man.
Silver mane flyin' in the wind Down through the planets On the run again No one knows where They're runnin' to But every kind is comin' Two by two.
Out on the delta Where the hoofbeats pound The daddy's runnin' On the frozen ground Can't smell the poison As it follows him Can't see the gas and machines, It's a war of man.
No one wins It's a war of man, No one wins It's a war of man.
The windows open And the little girl dreams The sky's her playground As she mounts her steed Across the heavens To the other side On wings of magic Does the little girl ride.
The baby creatures Run in from the cold Back to the nest Just like the days of old There in the safety Of a mother's arms The warmth of ages, Far away from harm again.
No one wins It's a war of man, No one wins It's a war of man, No one wins.

Love is but a song to sing Fear's the way we die You can make the mountains ring Or make the angels cry Though the bird is on the wing And you may not know why
Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now
Some may come and some may go We shall surely pass When the one that left us here Returns for us at last We are but a moment's sunlight Fading in the grass
Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now
Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now
Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now
If you hear the song I sing You will understand (listen!) You hold the key to love and fear All in your trembling hand Just one key unlocks them both It's there at you command
Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now
Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now
Come on people now Smile on your brother Everybody get together Try to love one another Right now
I come down from Ft. Lewis First time PFC And kicking in these doorways Ain't natural to me
But now I got my orders That evil lives inside Hate the sin and kill the sinner And do it all with pride
Here I lie a'bleedin' In a bombed out SUV No more cell reception No more light to see
Screaming hopeless questions Dreaming 'bout my home Till the chopper comes from heaven To gather up my bones
I'm standing on a ledge Out here on the edge The moon is hanging high It fills my dying eyes
Little problems, little lies
And all the young dudes fighting So far away from home Some are unsung heroes Some are made of stone Some of them are broken The broken places strong Some of them are crazy Their innocence is gone
Standing on a ledge Out here on the edge The moon is hanging high And it fills my dying eyes
There I was with the old man Stranded again so off I'd ran A young world crashing around me No possibilities of getting what I need He looked at me and smiled Said "No, no, no, no, no child.
See the dog and butterfly. Up in the Air he like to fly." Dog and butterfly Below she had to try. She roll back down To the warm soft ground laughing She don't know why, she don't know why Dog and butterfly
Well I stumbled upon your secret place Safe in the trees you had tears on your face Wrestling with your desires frozen strangers Stealing your fires. The message hit my mind Only words that I could find
See the dog and butterfly Up in the air he like to fly Dog and butterfly below she had to try She roll back down to the warm soft ground Laughing to the sky, up to the sky Dog and butterfly
We're getting older the world's getting colder For the life of me I don't know the reason why Maybe it's livin' making us give in Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide We're balanced together ocean upon the sky
Another night in this strange town Moonlight holding me light as down Voice of confusion inside of me Just begging to go back where I'm free Feels like I'm through Then the old man's words are true
See the dog and butterfly Up in the air he like to fly Dog and butterfly, below she had to try She roll back down to the warm soft Ground with a little tear in her eye She had to try, she had to try Dog and butterfly yeah Up in the air, he liked to fly The dog and butterfly, below she had to try She rolled back down to the warm soft ground Laughing she don’t know why But she had to try she had to try Dog and butterfly
Forgive me I can't stay here anymore I'm leaving with the tide This evening another breeze blew round my door and stirred me up inside I'm breaking out of this tired old spell I braved it out long and so well And the phoenix flies straight and high back to Avalon Now I'm on my way back where I belong, gonna go down with the sun Back to Avalon
Where I'm going all my demons disappear I'm leaving them behind I'm traveling way up on the atmosphere cause I made up my mind. Gonna find my love Gonna find my life, gonna look them so deep in the eye And the phoenix flies straight and high back to Avalon Now I'm on my way back where I belong Gonna go down with the sun Back to Avalon
Nobody knows what's inside my head or down this road Oh I know I'm going home And the phoenix flies straight and high back to Avalon Now I'm on my way back where I belong Gonna go down with the sun And the phoenix flies straight and high back to Avalon Now I'm on my way back where I belong Gonna go down with the sun, back to Avalon.
I hear the ticking of the clock I'm lying here the room's pitch dark I wonder where you are tonight No answer on the telephone And the night goes by so very slow Oh I hope that it won't end though Alone
Till now I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone You don't know how long I have waited and I was going to tell you tonight But the secret is still my own and my love for you is still unknown Alone Till now I always got by on my own I never really cared until I met you And now it chills me to the bone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone How do I get you alone Alone, alone
Spare a little candle Save some light for me figures up ahead Moving in the trees White skin in linen Perfume on my wrist And the full moon that hangs over these dreams in the mist Darkness on the edge Shadows where I stand I search for the time On a watch with no hands I want to see you clearly Come closer than this But all I remember Are the dreams in the mist These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
Is it cloak 'n dagger Could it be spring or fall I walk without a cut Through a stained glass wall Weaker in my eyesight The candle in my grip And words that have no form Are falling from my lips
These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
There's something out there I can't resist I need to hide away from the pain There's something out there I can't resist The sweetest song is silence That I've ever heard Funny how your feet In dreams never touch the earth In a wood full of princes Freedom is a kiss But the prince hides his face From dreams in the mist
These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
These dreams go on when I close my eyes Every second of the night I live another life These dreams that sleep when it's cold outside Every moment I'm awake the further I'm away
