Carl Palmer

In the dead of the night
On the wings of the wind
I hear the ocean bell
With a flash of the light
In the beat of the dark
The sound I know so well

I shall never forget you
It? been so long
I should never have left you
The call so strong

CHORUS
It? a far cry from a wild world
I want to get back to you
Such a long road, to the homeland
I must make my way to a far cry

From the chords of the earth
To the depths of the sea
I will return
As I look to the hill
Through the eyes of the storm
I touch the flame

I shall never forget you
It? been so long
I should never have left you
The call so strong

CHORUS

It? such a far cry

For those that are able
To go underground
Missiles disenable
They hit faster then sound
They're coming and you have no choice
The helpless with one human voice
You will categorically say
This underdog will have his day

One more dead is one more
Then it ought to be
A travesty oh oh

One more missed will be kissed
To eternity
Or purgatory oh oh

After the war
After the war

Red button he's pressing
But he knows not why
He's programming orders
War lights up the sky
He's on the hotline tonight
His mind is high as a kite
His fingers decide wrong or right
This man has it all in his sights

Used as tools to believe
In autonomy
Minorities are no more

Men are fools
One last cry to humanity
No sanity anymore

After the war
After the war
After the war

On my arm a tattoo for my sons to be
That numbers you and me
There's a scar on my face
That is photographed for all to see oh oh

After the war..

This time, you know just what I'm saying
But you could never give a damn
Or so it seems

It's a fine line with this game that you're playing
And you could always turn around
Go running for home

Chorus
Alibis, little lies
Procrastination
Secrecy, duplicity
The end of your alibis

Something I could always believe in
Then suddenly just disappeared
It's all over now

Chorus

Goodbye your tiny whispers of comfort
Never the victim of circumstance
You had me deceived

So, Jodie, maybe this is the last time
That I will ever speak your name
I'm going home

Chorus

Chorus

A perfect day, or so I say
From where I'm standing
This rollercoaster ride, fate will decide
The ending

Love everlasting, or lost on the way

The smiles and the frowns, the ups and downs
Of fortune turning
The twists and turns, the lessons learned
The bridges burning

Nights to remember and never forget

CHORUS
Go, seize the day
Wake up and say
This is an extraordinary life, oh
Enjoy today
Come what may
This is an extraordinary

I gave it all, my cards have fallen
But I'm still alive
And in the end, believe my friend
I will survive

Glory or heartache and some of the joy

CHORUS

All of the good times, all of the bad
Responsibility is totally mine I know
I rightly stand accused
But I believe that I can change
Yes, I can change my world

CHORUS

CHORUS

Wheels turn - smoke rise
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 ?
Look at him behind the delusion
All you hear is the voice of confusion

CHORUS
The bad boy? back
The bad boy? back in town
The bad boy? back
Don? you shoot him down

Wheels spin - ace high
No win - no life
One world - truth lies
Love? just a word on a red neon sign
If there? escape from the conclusion
You gotta shake the whole institution

CHORUS

If there? escape from your illusion
You gotta break the whole constitution

CHORUS

Bitches Crystal
Knows how you
Twist all the lines

Fortune Teller
Future Seller
Of time

Tortured spirits cry
Fear is in their eyes
Ghostly images die

Witches Potion
Mixed in the ocean
Of tears

Mystical Powers
Emerge From the towers
Of fear

Tortured spirits cry
Fear is in their eyes
Ghostly images die

Evil learning
People burning
Savage casting
No one lasting

Witchcraft
Sadness
Madness
Turning in their minds

Ritual killings
That swear in
The shillings to be

Heretic Priestess
Dwells on the
Weakness she sees
Tortured spirits cry

Fear is in their eyeblack moon

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

Brain Salad Surgery
It will murder you, it murdered me
We made it for our enemy
Brain Salad Surgery

We’ve got a ballad
About a salad brain
with a surgeon with
a dirty dinner game.

Brain Salad Surgery
It will work for you you, it works for me
Brain not perversity
Brain Salad Surgery

We’ve got a ballad
About a salad brain
with a surgeon with
a dirty dinner game.

C"est La Vie Have your leaves all turned to brown
이것이 인생입니다..
당신의 물든 단풍잎들을 가지고 있나요?
Will you scatter them around you
당신주위에 그것들을 뿌릴건가요?
C"est La Vie Do you love
이것이 인생입니다.. 사랑을 하나요?
And then how am I to know
그리고 그런다음 어떻게 나는 알까요?
If you don"t let your love show for me
만약 당신이 내게 보여줄 당신을
사랑을 보내지 않는다면.
C"est La Vie C"est La Vie,

In the night
밤에..
Do you light a lover"s fire
당신은 연인의 열정을 밝히나요?
Do the ashes of desire for you remain
갈망의 재들이 당신을 위해서 남겨져있나요?
Like the sea There"s a live too deep to show
바다와같이.. 삶이 있답니다..
보여주기엔 너무 깊은
Took a storm before my live flowed for you
태풍을 갖고있어요
나의 인생이 당신을위해 흐르기 전에..
C"est La Vie
이것이 인생입니다

Like a song Out of tune and out of time
노래와 같이 음을벗어나고, 시간에서 벗어나요
All I needed was a rhymw for you
난 당신을 위한 리듬 밖에 필요없습니다
C"est La Vie Do you give
이것이 인생입니다.. 당신은 주나요?
Do you live from day to day
하루하루 살아가나요?
Is there no song I can play for you
내가 당신을 위해 연주할 곡은 없나요?
C"est La Vie
이것이 인생입니다.

Oh~~ C"est La Vie.
오~~ 그것이 인생이겠지
Oh~~ C"est La Vie.

Who knows, who cares for me?
누군가 내게 마음 기울이는 것을

I am closer to believing
Than I ever was before
On the crest of this elation
Must I crash upon the shore
And with the driftwood of acquaintance
Light the fire of love once more
I am windblown ... I am times

To be closer to believing
To be just a breath away
On the death of inspiration
I would buy back yesterday
But there's no crueler illusion
There's no sharper coin to pay
As I reach out ... it slips away

From the opium of custom
To the ledges of extremes
Don't believe it 'til you've held it
Life is seldom what it seems
But lay your heart upon the table
And in the shuffling of dreams
Remember who on earth you are

I need me, you need you
We want us

But of course you know I love you
Or what else am I here for
Only you, not face to face
But side by side forevermore
And I need to be here with you
For without you what am I
Just another fool out searching
For some heaven in the sky

Take me closer to believing
Take me forward, lead me on
Through collision and confusion
While there's life beneath the sun
You are the reason I continue
So near for so long
So close yet so far away

I need me, you need you
We want us to live forever

Don't let the curtain fall
Measure after measure
Of writing on the wall
That burns so brightly
It burns us all

I need me, you need you
We want us to be together

On Sundays in the rain
Closer than forever
Against or with the grain
To ride the storms of love again

So be closer to believing
Though your world is torn apart
For a moment changes all things
And to end is but to start
And if your journey's unrewarded
May your God lift up your heart
You are windblown
But you are mine

The night is cold, the sun is down
I see faces through the wire
No chance for them
No shoulder left to cry on

It's 4 am out on the street
Through the smoke I see the fire
It's a funeral pyre
For them to die on

{chorus}
Countdown to zero
Just begun
Coundown to zero
It's time to start the run

The city lights are fading now
As I climb into the plane
To shield me from
The stinging acid rain

And this is it, it's over now
As we taxi down Runway One
Tell me please
You'll wake me when it's over

{chorus}

Do you realize what's happening in Western Europe?
Norway, Finland, Scotland, England
We will be the first to go
Don't do it

{chorus}

Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't start the countdown to zero
We want to live
We want to live
We will live
You've got your finger on the trigger
Take it off
Let it go
Let it pass
Let it go

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

The door swings open but you won't go it
You hate the movie that you haven't seen
You couldn't see what I have in mind
I see you laughing but you're
Cutting it, cutting it fine

You never should have done those things to me
There's one thread left 'tween you and history
And while our temperature is rising high
I'm warning you that you are
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Cutting it, cutting it fine...

You gambled all on one important game
Now take the debt and don't complain
Your game was up, I saw it all the time
I saw that vice, girl, you're
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Your sole advisor watch out for yourself
You never listen to anyone else
You were the one who ignored the signs
Dancing on a fine line
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Cutting it, cutting it fine...

You know i'll never understand your reasons
I gave you all the love that i could give
Now i'm sitting on a plane to take me far away
I've got to find a new place to live

It used to feel so good when you stood beside me
How can you forget the words you said?
Things like: i'm gonna stay with you forever
Will always echo in my head

Don't call me, don't call me, no more

If this plane ride lasts forever
I couldn't quite get over you
We spent too much time together
I can't believe we're through

Don't call me, don't call me, no more

Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl youve 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

Dont Cry now that Ive found you
Don Cry take a look around you
Dont Cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please Dont Cry

I knew Id never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Dont think of all thats been before

Ill hear you when youre calling
Ill catch you when youre falling
Dont worry I will always be there, like never before, or, oh
