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? 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? know So who can stop the rain ? We?e 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 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 d?bris from the track World without reason without rhyme We fought for peace within our time |

Chrome wings - low ride Freeway - red line To city lights electric I glide If there? escape from your illusion You gotta break the whole constitution Concrete - touch sky Main street - dogs lie Steel bird - black tie Is this what they call the freedom you buy ?

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?st 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 do you see ? As cold as a mountain With a heart that can freeze There? a storm on the water With every heart that she sees Love under fire |

Nothing ventured nothing gained
Tired and washed out by the pain Do we share this problem, will it slip away ? Or do we fight another day ? Was I looking for a friend ? One I count on ?ill the end Is there something that I didn? do ? Does it all begin with you ? CHORUS So how did I, Oh I Give you reason ? But how did I, Oh I Give you reason ? After all the fallen tears When we wake the taken dream Who let the water slowly draw away ? All the colours that we made CHORUS To give you reason, to change the river? flow To give you reason, to point the bone To give you reason, go set your spirit free I don? know, I don? know why Is there nothing I can say ? Is there nothing I can do, girl ? Didn? mean to break your life Didn? mean to burn your world, no CHORUS You can keep the silver band You can have the memories, girl Now as 'Pilate' cleans the hands It? no more to do with me, no CHORUS So how did I, Oh I Give you reason ?

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 ?

CHORUS Lay down your arms - surrender You know you?l never get out of here Lay down your arms - remember No force - you? better lay down your gun Such are the sins of humanity Dark is the air that we breath A war to hide in society Don? close your eyes to deceive Too many promises Too many 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? the way it will be CHORUS |

Dreams that have melted now frozen like statues
Under the surface here lies the unknown Love has a way of disguising it? purpose Seeing your pain my hand goes out to you You should have known better than to trust him How the pain shines through your eyes Nothing hits harder than a crime of the heart It breaks you up and it tears you apart You just want to die, you?e been so abused Now you know how it feels to be used Nothing hurts harder than a crime of the heart I? such a fool, I should have known from the start I saw it coming and I feel I? to blame But love don? give in I watch your face as you stare into distance Eyes filled with tears that look so far away Deep in your heart can you feel a resistance ? Love it just happens there? no-one to blame You should have known better than to sacrifice The stained-glass soul you hide Nothing hits harder than a crime of the heart It? the kind of feeling that pulls you apart There? nowhere to run, there? nothing to say You never knew that you could feel this way Nothing hurts harder than a crime of the heart I could have told you he was wrong from the start I? not guilty, but I feel I? too blame My love won? give in Crime of the heart |

I was "Master Faster", I was "Mr. Mystery"
there wasn’t a mortal man was gonna make a monkey out of me. I had reflex, action, first strike capability so high - so tall - so far to fall. I took my time, my life was all without a cause till she came bursting through the frontdoor of my heart, just like the signs that say I’ll follow by a star, once more, no blame, I’m far, no name . Too much, too soon, a touch of moon a burst balloon, so far, so far to fall. Ooh she had me, she had me running rings around the floor. She had me nailed to a door, she had me crying out, she had me crying out for more, more, more, more, more, more, more. She bad me, she tied me up in knots like a piece of a string, she did a thing to my thing, she did a thing to my thing like it’s never been done before. Too much ... I saw stars, in the night, I was hers, I was high I had so far to fall, such a long way to fall and I fell and I fell and I fell ------ So if you’re "Master Blaster" or you’re "Mr. Mystery" don’t think you’re insulated from love’s electricity. There’ll be no escape for you, there was no escape for me so high - so tall - one night you’re bound to fall. |

Lead me from tortured dreams
Childhood themes of nights alone, Wipe away endless years, Childhood tears as dry as stone. From seeds of confusion, Illusions darks blossoms have grown. Even now in furrows of sorrow The dance still is sung. My life's course is guided Decided by limits drawn On charts of my past days And pathways since I was born. I carry the dust of a journey That cannot be shaken away It lives deep within me For I breathe it every day. You and I are yesterday's answers, The earth of the past came to flesh, Eroded by Time's rivers To the shapes we now possess. Come share of my breath and my substance, And mingle our stream and our times. In bright, infinite moments, Our reasons are lost in our rhymes. Doubles faces dark defense Talk too loud but talk no sense Yeah I see those smiling eyes Butter us up with smiling lies Talk to creatures raise the dead Fate you know sure got fed Trained apart from houses of stone Hour of horses pick the bone Come forth, from love spire Born in life's fire, Born in life's fire. Come forth, from love's spire In the burning, all are yearning, For life to be. And the pain will (must) be gain, New life! Stirring in, salty streams And dark hidden seams Where the fossil sun gleams. They were, sent from (to) the gates Ride the tides of fate, Ride the tides of fate. They were, sent from (to) the gates In the burning of our yearning, For life to be. There's no end to my life, No beginning to my death Death is life! |

Just take a pebble and cast it to the sea,
Then watch the ripples that unfold into me, My face spill so gently into your eyes, Disturbing the waters of our lives. Shread of our memories are lying on your grass; Wounded words of laughter are graveyards of the past. Photographs are grey and torn, scattered in your fields Letters of your mem'ries are not real. Sadness on your shoulders like a wornout overcoat In pockets creased and tattered hang the rags of your hope. The daybreak is your midnight; the colours have all died. Disturbing the waters of our lives, of our lives, of our lives, lives, lives, lives... Of our lives. |

Just a step, cried the sad man,
Take a look down at the madman. Bearded kings on silver wings Fly beyond reason. From the flight of the seagull, Come the spread claws of the eagle Only fear breaks the silence, As we all kneel, pray for guidance. Tread the room, cross the abyss, Take a look down at the madness. On the streets of the city, Only spectres still have pity. Patient queues for the gallows, Sing the praises of the hallows. Our machines feed the furnace, If they take us, they will burn us. Will you still know who you are When you come to who you are? When the flames have their season Will you hold to your reason? Will you die with your chance? Can you still keep your balance? Can you wake from the nightmare? |

Who'll make his mark, the captain cried.
To the devil drink a toast. We'll glut the hold with cups of gold And we'll feed the sea with ghosts I see your hunger for a fortune Could be better served beneath my flag If you've the stomach for a broadside Come aboard my pretty boys I will take you and make you Everything you've ever dreamed. Make fast the guns tonight we sail when the high tide floods the bay, cut free the lines and square the yards get the black flag stowed away the Turk, the Arab, the Spaniard will soon have pennies on their eyes and any other laden fancy we will take her by surprise I will take you and make you Everything you've ever dreamed. Six days off the Cuban coast when a sail ahead the spied galleon of the treasure fleet,' the mizzen lookout cried Closer to the wind my boys, the mad-eyed captain roared every man that's alive tonight will be hauling gold aboard. Spare us, the galleon begged but mercy's face had fled Blood ran from the screaming souls the cutlass harvested Driven to the quarter deck the last survivor fell She's ours my boys, the Captain grinned and no one left to tell. The Captain rose from a silk divan With a pistol in his fist And shot the lock from an iron box And a blood red ruby kissed I give you jewellery of turquoise A crucifix of solid gold One hundred thousand silver pieces It is just as I foretold You... You see there before you everything You've ever dreamed. Anchored in an indigo moonlit bay Gold-eyed round fires the sea thieves lay Morning... white shells and a pipe of clay As the wind filled their footsteps They were far... far... away. Our sails swell full as we brave all seas On a westward wind to live as we please With the wicked wild-eyed woman of Portobello town Where we've been told that a purse of gold Buys many man a crown They will serve you and clothe you Exchange your rags for the velvet coats of Kings. Who'll drink a toast with me I give you Liberty This town is ours... tonight. Landlord, wine make it the finest Make it a cup for a sea dogs thirst Two long years of bones and beaches Fever and leeches did their worst So fill the night with paradise Bring me peach and peacock till I burst But first, I want a soft touch in the right place I want to feel like a King tonight Ten on the black to beat the Frenchman Back you dogs give 'em room to turn Now open wide sweet Heaven's gates Tonight we're gonna see if Heaven burns See how she burns... Oh she burns I want an angel on a gold chain And I'll ride her to the stars It's the last time for a long long time Come the daybreak, we embark... On the flood of the morning tide Once more the ocean cried. This company will return one day Though we feel your tears it's the price we pay For there's prizes to be taken and glory to be found Cut free the chains make fast your souls We are Eldorado bound... I will take you always forever together Until hell call our names... Who'll drink a toast with me To the devil and the deep blue sea Gold drives a man... to dream! |

I. STONES OF YEARS
Has the dawn ever seen your eyes? Have the days made you so unwise? Realize, you are. Had you talked to the winds of time, Then you'd know how the water rhyme. Taste of wine, How can you know where you've been? In time you'll see the sign, And realize your sin. Will you know how the seed is sown? All your time has been overgrown, Never known. Have you walked on the stones of years? When you speak, is it you that hears? Are your ears full? You can't hear anything at all. II. MASS The preacher said a prayer, Save ev'ry single hair on his head. He's dead. The minister of hate had just arrived too late to be spared. Who cared? The weaver in the web that he made! The pilgrim wandered in, Commiting ev'ry sin that he could So good... The cardinal of grief was set in his belief he'd saved From the grave The weaver in the web that he made! The high priest took a blade To bless the ones that prayed, And all obeyed. The messenger of fear is slowly growing, nearer to the time, A sign. The weaver in the web that he made! A Bishop rings a bell, A cloak of darkness fell across the ground, Without a sound! The silent choir sing and in their silence, Bring jaded sound, harmonic ground. The weaver in the web that he made! III. BATTLEFIELD Clear the battlefield and let me see All the profit from our victory. You talk of freedom, starving children fall. Are you deaf when you hear the season's call? Were you there to watch the earth be scorched? Did you stand beside the spectral torch? Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face, Scattered on the ashes of disgrace. Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly We're the victims of your armies lie, Where the blades of grass and arrows rain Then there will be no sorrow, Be no pain |

Do you want to be an angel,
Do you want to be a star, Do you want to play some magic on my guitar? Do you want to be a poet, Do you want to be my string? You could be anything. Do you want to be the lover of another Undercover? you could even be the man on the moon. Do you want to be the player, Do you want to be the string? Let me just tell you something, It just don't mean a thing. You see it really doesn't matter When you're buried in disguise By the dark glass on your eyes, Though your flesh has crystalised; Still .... you turn me on. Do you want to be the pillow where i lay my head, Do you want to be the feathers lying in my bed? Do you want to be a colour cover magazine; Create a scene. Every day a little sadder, A little madder, Someone get me a ladder. Do you want to be the singer, Do you want to be the song? Let me tell you something You just couldn't be more wrong. You see i really have to tell you That it all gets so intense. )from my experience It just doesn't seem to make sense, Still .... you turn me on. |

He had white horses
And ladies by the score All dressed in satin And waiting by the door Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was White lace and feathers They made up his bed A gold covered mattress On which he was laid Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was He went to fight wars For his country and his king Of his honor and his glory The people would sing Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was A bullet had found him His blood ran as he cried No money could save him So he laid down and he died Ooooh, what a lucky man he was Ooooh, what a lucky man he was |

Just take a pebble and cast it to the sea,
Then watch the ripples that unfold into me, My face spill so gently into your eyes, Disturbing the waters of our lives. Shread of our memories are lying on your grass; Wounded words of laughter are graveyards of the past. Photographs are grey and torn, scattered in your fields Letters of your mem'ries are not real. Sadness on your shoulders like a wornout overcoat In pockets creased and tattered hang the rags of your hope. The daybreak is your midnight; the colours have all died. Disturbing the waters of our lives, of our lives, of our lives, lives, lives, lives... Of our lives. |

from Emerson Lake & Palmer - Black Moon (1992)
Every day I see a nwe cloud coming There's one more hole in space Every time I walk across the street I feel the gas blowing in my face We never learn even deserts burn And all politicians lie They don't do nothing till we reach high noon Black moon Ain't nobody gonna walk on water When it falls like acid rain Nobody gonna fake you out Every poison stains We're all struck here right in the middle We never call the tune If we don't get active we'll become immune Black moon In the night see the red sky burning There's fire on the mountain Oil slicks on the sea The black moon is rising How long will it be you take a look around the world The future never waits We're skating on the thin ice And we're in the hands of fate What we need's a little redirection To find our blue lagoon You know it wouldn't come a moment too soon Black moon -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

from Emerson Lake & Palmer - Brain Salad Surgery (1973)
And did those feet in ancient time,
Walk upon england's mountains green? And was the holy lamb of god On england's pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine, Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was jerusalem builded here Among these dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear: o clouds unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight; Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand Til we have built jerusalem In england's green and pleasant land. |

Just a step, cried the sad man,
Take a look down at the madman. Bearded kings on silver wings Fly beyond reason. From the flight of the seagull, Come the spread claws of the eagle Only fear breaks the silence, As we all kneel, pray for guidance. Tread the room, cross the abyss, Take a look down at the madness. On the streets of the city, Only spectres still have pity. Patient queues for the gallows, Sing the praises of the hallows. Our machines feed the furnace, If they take us, they will burn us. Will you still know who you are When you come to who you are? When the flames have their season Will you hold to your reason? Will you die with your chance? Can you still keep your balance? Can you wake from the nightmare? |

There might have been things I missed
But don't be unkind It don't mean I'm blind Perhaps there's a thing or two I think of lying in bed I shouldn't have said But there it is You see, it's all clear You were meant to be here From the beginning Maybe I might have changed And not been so cruel Not been such a fool Whatever was done is done I just can't recall It doesn't matter at all You see, it's all clear You were meant to be here From the beginning |
