I close my eyes
Only for a moment and the moment's gone All my dreams Pass before my eyes, a curiosity Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Same old song Just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do Crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind Oh Now, don't hang on Nothing lasts forever but the Earth and sky It slips away And all your money won't another minute buy Dust in the wind All we are is dust in the wind (All we are is dust in the wind) Dust in the wind (Everything is dust in the wind) Everything is dust in the wind The wind |

Well it looks like it might rain but rain ain't what we need
Sunshine and a war machine I'm gettin ready for another stampede Grease the gears with blood paint it black as night Ride through the city like a Trojan horse Convinced what you're doin's all right Hold on 'till the river goes down the river goes to the sea Hold on the rive's comin' down on me The killin' field has come to main street Scatter guns in the liquor store Rifled sinkhole graves in concrete it's out of hand At black fathom 4 Fallen leaves turn grey faces cold and worn Memories of a better time swept away like a firestorm Who can get it straight who can think it through When every time the telephone rings You think it's someone comin' after you Your mamma's shootin' Gallery wages Your daddy don't give a damn no more Keep these animals breakin' cages violent times At black fathom 4 Walk into my world where brave can get you dead You get together and a fight breaks out Someone didn't understand what you said Walk into my world anger's in my soul Quick money give me double trouble Friends are doing hard times in the hole Children crying sniper thunder case the alleys and the corridors Don't look back it ain't no wonder it's open season At black fathom 4 |

Cold grey morning without sunlight ghostly mist on the horizon
Empty visions of a world gone mad paints a picture so revealing Through my window dark tomorrow I can hear the sirens wailing For the future we are holding on as the ship of fools is sailing Such a long time such a long time We are waiting for a peace that's lasting Reaching upward sliding downward looks like just another Cold grey morning Hardly breathing hope is fading it's the end of the beginning Children playing in the empty streets it's a cold grey morning |

Why can't you see where we are going
Why can't you see where we have been You tell me the pain is still growing you tell me tell me who'll win I feel for you you know what I'm saying But I've got to do what's right in my head I've got to ride ride rocket ride Carry me quick to the one's who've cried I'm a saint I'm a sinner but you decide In desperate times Sled sled rocket sled Carry me quick to the one's who've bled I'm a saint I'm a sinner and these are desperate times I would give my soul to carry your burden I would give my soul cause I know you still grieve Where will we go to hide from their blindness Where will we go if we don't both believe Bad blood rains down we've got to take cover Cold blood rains down who can find any peace |

Freak of nature fact or fright
Puts up with pain puts up with spite Scarred up shoes have lost their sheen It looks like better days they've seen Chameleon man naive tycoon Will eat the poor with silver spoon He'll jest and jeer through looking glass But nest right near the upper class Who'll be the first one pointing at the simple man Now I know I'm only lucky every freak of nature should know How to run the whole freakin' show Freak of nature'd rather be no less a man than you or me He'd rather look the other way choose to fight another day I take things for granted turn the tables 'round What if I was down To much goin' on runnin' out of time And I don't understand it |

The flower dies the camera never lies fire baptizes
The truth is light right or wrong is never black or white We all wear disguises If a picture could talk we would all look away There'd be too many voices Rain come on and wash away this hot city skin Pictures and memories and hope once again So many times I see you in my mind when I'm not trying to I see a trellis gate and I run like a child who's late Whose friends are waiting for him Well I never stopped to realize what was passing me by But love has a texture Catch a glimpse a reflection Of what would should or could have been Pictures and memories and hope once again I wonder if we know the future is now I wonder if we know the future is here |

I can fly I really can wave good-bye familiar land
Catch the wind make my climb breathin in born again feelin fine I can fly above distress I can fly to heaven no less Leave the earth forget the time light as air I don't care feelin fine Don't say I'm crazy don't say I'm out of my head I might be crazy but one thing's for certain one thing's for sure I can fly above the sea I can fly hey look at me Without a net leave it behind Feelin good feelin free feelin so fine My lofty purchase high above I'm losing sight of you I'm climbing up just like a kite the calm before the storm When all at once it dawned on me where I'm not supposed to be Clouds are black the sky is red I'm where the angles fear to tread I feel like I've lost my way Down and down and down I go I've lost all sense of my direction This flaming spitfire flight has come undone Grounding stages of rejection I am not worthy to have even tried Help me annihilate this foolish pride where Icarus died I say the act of my contrition be sure to bless all before I die Save my seat in the smoking section cut me loose and say good-bye I wake up on the doctors table where life and death are up for grabs I'm comin I'm comin you better shoot me Kill the pain and count the scabs no no no get out of my black dream Give me life give me life I'll make a vow I'll resist temptation I promise here and now You see it all started when I was younger they said I was good But I thought they said great I crown myself the king of liars I am what I have learned to hate |

I lost you a long time ago I tossed our love as far as I could throw
I can't help feelin tentative and blind I only wish that you could read my mind I need to pitch it all into the wind I need to face a wall that's cavin' in I need to fall fall again I do need you Can friends be lovers can lovers still be friends What about the story when there ain't no happy end Look around look around and tell me what am I s'posed to do To say goodby'd be a big mistake after all that we've been through Some familiar face some familiar song But those times have come and gone Sometimes I feel like my memories are only there to let me know That bein' lonely is so damn slow It's like a deep dark fever dream I get surges I take a midnight drive I'm goin' nowhere I don't care when I arrive I got questions the kind that got no clues I think I find the answer on the road that leads to you |

I went driving through my old hometown
It was Thursday the bright sun on the horizon I was surprised to see no one had burned it down It seemed so peaceful and warm Floods of memories came back to me All the things we got away with when we were younger And I felt kind of like a refugee Like a scattered pile of leaves in a storm Peaceful memory like lights on a Christmas tree Every hometown should be peaceful and warm Every father mother sister brother friend of the family Peaceful and warm Somehow now and then didn't seem to blend 'Till a farmer plowing his field waved hello Another working man doing the best he can I hope he is peaceful and warm Peaceful memory plows in the green field sea Every hometown should be peaceful and warm Every father mother sister brother friend of the family Peaceful and warm On the Kansas banks of the Muddy Mo' I threw rocks in the river and dreamed of running away In a wind of change only a father knows In a world so hectic so cold I guess my old hometown's kinda dead and gone Miss the sign on I-29 and you blow right by But it's a place I can go remember where I come from It will help me keep me peaceful and warm Peaceful memory the only thing that's free Take them and try to be peaceful and warm Every father mother sister brother friend of the family Peaceful peaceful and warm |

Buried deep under blood and skin
A whisper a tempest is raging from within I hold my breath bitter proud Afraid to scream fire in the middle of a crowd I ponder incision envision the brain I beckon the surgeon to a slice against the grain now that I've waisted you the white room is pure the doctors are brave If there's a cure I want to be saved Sanctuary Under the knife sharp and shiny key Repair redeem resurrection Under the knife they'll cut you out of me Maybe love's imitation is life under the knife I have come to determine a reasonable doubt Where heaven and hell draw their boundary lines about Now that I've waisted you now that I've tasted you The white room had frost on the cold window pane Your love had been lost my love was in vain Sanctuary Cynical splices stitch and install Solder the filaments I feel nothing at all Second wind secrets let them rise let them fall I'll walk through your firestorm but never never crawl The gambler lives the blood stain dries It's time to forgive I open my eyes Sanctuary |

Carry on my wayward son
There’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I can hear the voices when I’m dreaming I can hear them say Carry on my wayward son There’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man It surely means that I don’t know On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about I’m like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune But I hear the voices say Carry on my wayward son There’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more No! Carry on You will always remember Carry on Nothing equals the splendor Now your life’s no longer empty Surely heaven waits for you Carry on my wayward son There’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more |

I'm in a kind of foolish game, I try to get rich quick,
But I'm going insane, The kind of freaks that hang out on 42nd Street They're all pimpin' Judys and poppin' speed, well It's a game of cat and mouse, and I think it's got my soul, I think it's time for thinkin' 'bout a time to roll on Down the road Here comes Big Mike, I kinda owe him some beans, He must be crazy, I guess that's why he's so mean, If I tell him I'm leavin', he would sure enough split my gut, Cause he knows I sold to a sucker, and I owe Big Mike a cut, But I'll slip him a 20-dollar bill till I get out of town, When I hit those white lines, I'm gonna be gone like a Greyhound down the road |

Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street,
Well, it sure don't seem like twenty years, Since I went walking down this lonely street And the smell of perfumed ladies filled the air This street ain't got no name, dead end is in the river, And I lived where I hated life day by day, There wasn't nothing I could do to shake a cold night shiver, 'Cause to move up Lonely Street you had to have some say Gambling is bad luck down on Lonely Street And it sure ain't no place to be when a man gets sore You know I killed a man and I paid all I can, With twenty years on a chain gang, For the flesh and the blood on that jailhouse floor Sometimes when I'm walking down this lonely street I get caught up in a dream that won't let me go And as the bright lights flash up and down this lonely street My mind rolls back the years long time ago I see my baby stumblin' around with tears in her eyes And as I reach out for her she falls on the floor She mumbles through bloody lips about a bad man, robber, raper, And in my gut I know I got one to score The word was comin' down, down on Lonely Street That the bad man was a dead man if he crossed my trail Every night I'd walk up and down this Lonely Street I get stinkin' drunk, and always in jail, One night they threw me in with a man they called the mangler He was caught on the street makin' some old whore, I remember he was quite proud of that, So half-crazed I shot him, And I cried in the blood on that jailhouse floor. |

Down from a gleaming heaven, I can hear the voices call When you comin' home now, son, the World is not for you Tell me what's you point of view Hey there Mister Madman, wat'cha know that I don't know Tell me some crazy stories, let me know who runs this show Glassy-eyed and laughing, he turns and walks away Tell me what made you that way Here I am just waiting for a sign Asking questions, learning all the time It's always here, it's always there It's just love, and miracles out of nowhere Tell me now dear Mother, what's it like to be so old Children grown and leavin', seems the world is growin' cold And though your body's ailin' you, your mind is just like new Tell me where you're goin' to It's so simple right before your eyes If you'll only look through this disguise It's always here, it's always there It's just love and miracles out of nowhere I sang this song a hundred, maybe a thousand years ago No one ever listens, I just play and then I go Off into the sunset like the western heroes do Tell me what you're gonna do Here I am, I'm sure to see a sign All my life I knew that it was mine It's always here, it's always there It's just love and miracles out of nowhere |

I'm on fire
Burning with the question in my mind Strange desire Seems there's nothing else for me to find 'Cause I've been here, and I've been there, Seems like I've been everywhere before I've seen it all a hundred times Still I think there surely must be more I've been livin', I had to take my time and change my style Now I wonder is something gonna make it all worthwhile I know there's more than meets the eye Like to see it 'fore I die for sure. Something tells me it's all right Only one step farther to the door There ain't no feelin', feels the same as findin' out the key Now I'm reelin', thinking of the things that I might see I'm not afraid to face the light I'm not afraid to think that I might fall I was going nowhere fast I was needing something that would last |

I heard the men saying something
The captains tell they pay you well And they say they need sailing men to Show the way, and leave today Was it you that said, "How long, how long?" They say the sea turns so dark that You know it's time, you see the sign They say the point demons guard is An ocean grave, for all the brave, Was it you that said, "How long, how long, How long to the point of know return?" Your father, he said he needs you Your mother, she says she loves you Your brothers, they echo your words: "How far to the point of know return, to the point of know return" "Oh Oh, how long, how long?" Today I found a message floating In the sea from you to me It wrote that when you could see it You cried with fear, the Point was near Was it you that said, "How long, how long, how long To the Point of Know Return?" How Long? How Long to the point of no return?" No Return How Long? (Repeat and Fade) |

Virgin land of forest green, dark and stormy plains, here all life abounds
Sunlit valley, mountain fields, unseen in the rain, here all life abounds No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth's delights Painted desert, sequined sky, stars that fill the night, here all life abounds Rivers flowing to the sea, sunshine pure and bright, here all life abounds No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth's delights So the maiden lies in waiting, for the sails to reach the shore Land of beauty and abundance, innocent, you opened wide your door Wanderers found the waiting treasure, full of gifts beyond their measure Milk and honey for our pleasure..... Across the sea there came a multitude, sailing ships upon the wave Filled with visions of Utopia, and the freedom that they crave Ravage, plunder, see no wonder, rape and kill and tear asunder Chop the forest, plow it under..... Highways scar the mountainsides, buildings to the sky, people all around Houses stand in endless rows, sea to shining sea, people all around So we rule this land, and here we stand upon our paradise, Dreaming of a place, our weary race is ready to arise |

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between, All I am, and all that I would ever want to be It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side, The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me I want to see Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me I know it well The riches that I seek are waiting on the other side There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross There is no loss |

We wed this land and pledge our souls to meet its end, Life has only just begun Here my people roam the earth, in the kingdom of our birth, Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun We are mighty on the earth, on the earth You have come to move me, take me from my ancient home, Land of my fathers I can't leave you now We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're on Now the wheels are rolling hear the howling winds of war It's my destiny to fight and die Is there no solution, can we find no other way, Lord let me stay Under the endless sky and the earth below Here I was born to live and I will never go, oh no But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising Soon these days shall pass away, for our freedom we must pay All our words and deeds are carried on the wind, In the ground our bodies lay, here we lay |

Living in the present tense Father Time will take his toll Rack your body and steal your soul What became of all the years Are you drowning in your tears Who will catch you when you fall Who will hear you when you call I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through I will take you through the door Who do you think you are Try to live forever and you won't get far I wait behind your door Makes no difference if you're rich or poor Though you're weary and afraid Still you try to flee my blade Come and walk in my new land If you'll only take my hand In the image of those who have walked before me here I am cast in the web of an ancient spell I am holding on to life, I'm drifting in the stream Everything's much clearer now We live within a dream and never wake Judge not by what you see More than you can count are here with me Give up your foolish pride All that walk the earth have died! |

Two began together, lived as one
Each one to the other had become More than a friend, living to meet a common end They were true, each one knew all is well Still the elder knew it could not last Hidden memories from the young one's past Drew them apart Both knew that deep within his heart they must part Each their own separate way It puzzles me how we can be so close and yet worlds apart Can it be, my memory has torn my life in two From the very start I screamed for the devil to let me be I called to the heavens to set me free Today I prayed for the answer and not one Of the gods in the sky would rescue me Dreams of fortune fill the young one's mind Learn the worldly ways of hope to find Love on the way, searching to find the light of day In his soul he had found his own way But to each other they soon will return Destiny fulfilled, their words will burn an eternal flame |

And it's bigger than your life But it's only what you're hearing Will you still remember When the morning light has come Will the songs be playing over and over Till you do it all over again Play, play the game tonight Can you tell me if it's wrong or right It is worth the time, is it worth the price Do you see yourself in a white spotlight Then play the game tonight And when the curtains open To the roaring of the crowd You will feel it all around you Then it finally happens And it's all come true for you And the songs are playing over and over Till you do it over again |

I heard the men saying something
The captains tell they pay you well And they say they need sailing men to Show the way, and leave today Was it you that said, "How long, how long?" They say the sea turns so dark that You know it's time, you see the sign They say the point demons guard is An ocean grave, for all the brave, Was it you that said, "How long, how long, How long to the point of know return?" Your father, he said he needs you Your mother, she says she loves you Your brothers, they echo your words: "How far to the point of know return, to the point of know return" "Oh Oh, how long, how long?" Today I found a message floating In the sea from you to me It wrote that when you could see it You cried with fear, the Point was near Was it you that said, "How long, how long, how long To the Point of Know Return?" How Long? How Long to the point of no return?" No Return How Long? (Repeat and Fade) |

Virgin land of forest green, dark and stormy plains, here all life abounds
Sunlit valley, mountain fields, unseen in the rain, here all life abounds No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth's delights Painted desert, sequined sky, stars that fill the night, here all life abounds Rivers flowing to the sea, sunshine pure and bright, here all life abounds No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth's delights So the maiden lies in waiting, for the sails to reach the shore Land of beauty and abundance, innocent, you opened wide your door Wanderers found the waiting treasure, full of gifts beyond their measure Milk and honey for our pleasure..... Across the sea there came a multitude, sailing ships upon the wave Filled with visions of Utopia, and the freedom that they crave Ravage, plunder, see no wonder, rape and kill and tear asunder Chop the forest, plow it under..... Highways scar the mountainsides, buildings to the sky, people all around Houses stand in endless rows, sea to shining sea, people all around So we rule this land, and here we stand upon our paradise, Dreaming of a place, our weary race is ready to arise |

Gather round the preacherman gather round here
If you're waiting for the word that'll make it all clear When you look in the sky you can see what he sees There's a fire in the Belt of Hercules Well the man in the collar says come to the fold Bible in his hand tassle of gold Says heaven could be locked but he's got a set of keys They fit the buckle in the belt of Hercules We all gotta come to the light together Put your dreams in your pocket boy We all gotta come to the light together Follow me The preacherman's climbing up above a timberline Bible in his hand praying for a sign Says "I'm tired of the devil - I'm down on my knees!" "I'll fight the battle for the belt of Hercules" We all gotta come to the light together Put your dreams in your pocket boy We all gotta come to the light together Follow me |

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between, All I am, and all that I would ever want to be It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side, The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me I want to see Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me I know it well The riches that I seek are waiting on the other side There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross There is no loss |

You don't mind giving in to temptation as long as no one knows
Your midnight invitation where your madness flows Fires of passion rage all night Angels falling out of the light Control undercover you can paralyze Every love is one more victim they never realize All their desires burn like a fever They want to run but they just can't leave her Secret Service Secret Service Do they know how you scream Secret Service passion - hunger Do they know how you scream I should have seen through her diguise She was a masquerade Cold kiss hungry eyes then she began to fade Feeling lost I want to be found Heaven's in hell DON'T LOOK DOWN Secret Service Secret Service Do they know how you scream Secret Service Secret Service Do they know how you cry Can they see your dreams Have they heard you sigh Or do you save it all for me in your SECRET SERVICE |

The world began to change the children moved and they had children
It was all arranged you couldn't live there anymore All you had was that old place in the middle of the path of progress So they took the space and put the ceiling on the floor In one of the rooms all the walls were blue It was hidden so well that no one knew Just the place for taking in the view The View of the sea crisp and clear and neverending There your soul ran free there you spirit soared The View took you away to the boundaries of imagination Back to yesterday back to once before In one of the rooms all the walls were blue A mysterious space without a clue Just the place for taking in the View Long lives need no fortune Hard lives need no fame Young lives seek their freedom And old lives seek the same The world began to change and without a word of explanation Something very strange started beckoning to you When they came to mvoe your things you had packed a suitcase full of memories Nothing else to bring except a different point of View In one of the rooms all the walls were blue A mysterious space without a clue Just the place for taking in the View |

Three pretenders forced their entry
There wasn't time to defend or attack Somewhere inside I held their fury But one by one my defenses began to crack The first became a voice from my childhood Without a world to call his own Asking questions but doubting the answers And too confused to stand up and face it alone I can feel my body tremble Like an animal under the gun Can you feel your body tremble Look in and see the eyes of Three Pretenders The second came a shadowy hustler Selling anything not nailed to the groud He put a price on my resistance And if it's high, I know he'll be marking it down The third became a mysterious traveller Stormy words like sea-weathered sails His life was scarred with peaks and valleys A haunted kingdom crumbling against the gales I can feel my body tremble Like a child afraid of the dark Can you feel your body tremble Look in and see the eyes of Three Pretenders |

Tomb 19 was sacred a thousand years or more
The Mayan king was restless a curse upon the door His shrouds of royal fabric his journey to be made To offer spirits good and evil 14 beads of jade The jade had ancient powers or so beliefs allege To anyone who plundered they would drive him to the edge If you take the treasures of Tomb 19 Let the curse remind you Take the treasures of Tomb 19 But never look behind you On the walls of limestone temples Were medallions carved in stone Describing what was waiting in the eerie catacombs Though time leaves them in ruins their silhouettes pervade To guard the kings and heroes and the 14 beads of jade If you take the treasures of Tomb 19 Let the curse remind you Take the treasures of Tomb 19 But never look behind you |

Can your walls repel the tide of change Under Pantocrator's rule Did your golden domes reveal The frailty of the consequence The conqueror was real Where the Emperor once reigned Only shadows of the glories remain No one sings your plaintive song Of the Kontakion strain Echoing through heaven's gate Too lovely to sustain We're looking back to see your frescoed walls Where is the road that takes us to Byzantium Once your borders had no end And your dream was like a shining light To the nations you surround Did your golden domes reveal The frailty of the consequence The conqueror was real We're looking back to see your frescoed walls Where is the road that takes us to Byzantium...

I'm livin' above the fault line
Like a bird up on a wire I come in from the cold at night And I stand next to the fire Now, most times I can win one but someday I could lose Then I'll have to start all over again And shake off all these blues 'Cause you tore down all the fences And you put me in the clear Then I left my old skin behind And I started to disappear Now there's something in the kitchen And it's cookin' mighty fine There's a good one in the oven And I'm sure gonna get in line In the interest of my nutrition I'm about to take the plunge I'm gonna take the whole thing in And I'm gonna soak it up like a sponge Need a map with new direction And a compass for the turn Then I'll take that drink of water and let the old one burn Oh, how you move me, You turn me 'round Nothing to hold me down Just like a magnet You pull me in Got my instant reservation When I'm feelin' empty You make me full More love than I'll ever hold You touch me right where my heart is dull I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear I open the box and look inside And I don't like what I see I turn the key and take a ride In a wind that's blowin' free In the interest of my education I'm about to read the book Then I'll open my eyes in the morning And I'll take another look Need a map with new directions And a compass for the turn Then I'll take that drink of water and let the old one burn Oh, how you move me, You turn me 'round Nothing to hold me down Just like a magnet You pull me in Got my instant reservation When I'm feelin' empty You make me full More love than I'll ever hold You touch me right where my heart is dull I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear (instrumental) Oh, how you move me, You turn me 'round Nothing to hold me down Just like a magnet You pull me in Got my instant reservation When I'm feelin' empty You make me full More love than I'll ever hold You touch me right where my heart is dull I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear (instrumental to fade out) |

On a night as I lay sleeping, in a dream I
saw the shore of a distant land where/ Promise lay in wait/ And I heard the sound of voices of a million hungry souls/ Now it comes to me to lead them to the gate But I am just a man, not worthy of this plan / With a strength that's not my own, Imust rise And I...will bear the light, ( and the vision leads me onward) / That blind....men have their sight / I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so To the Kings I gave the mission, in the hope that they would share / In the joy of setting countless captives free / But the lust for Gold and power, is luring us away / From a calling that began in purity And 'm still just a man, not worthy of this plan / With a strength that's not my own, I must rise Now a tempest rages in my heart, as this fever furies on / Soon these islands promise rest and hope, my answers wait beyond their shore / Dream on... Hungry eyes are standing on the sand, they beckon us to bring the tide / Sovereign hand must hold me now, I plead with you / Be my soloace and my guide...by my side And I...will walk with you / On the shores of the land ofpromise / That blind...men see you too / I'd sail a thou- sand seas to make it so |

In the darkness I rise, long before
The dawn I was dreaming of home and the life I Led But now I hear the sound of the engines Roar And I crave the embrace of my Empty bed Where I'm safe (there I'm safe) But the call is clear, and the task is Set And my enemies wait in the dark sky Do they fear the same fear, Do they dream like us And do they long for the day when it's Over And they're safe Now we're cruising above the horizon Never knowing if we will return In a moment we'll loose the Destruction And we'll justify all that we burn Here the air is cold, but my thoughts Are clear And so I'm wondering why I must be Here For the evil that can come, From the heart of a man Must be answered in kind 'til it Disappears And we're safe Now we're cruising above the horizon Never knowing if we will return In a moment we'll rain down Destruction And we'll justify all that we burn Here they come I'm dodging all the tracers, sky is full of Lead I can see the pilots' faces Safety in our numbers, eagles Overhead We are in the sight of aces Flak, bursting all around Friends, going down in flames And now we're hit, it's happened This is what I feared Something's telling me my time has Come Though it should be panic, I can feel A peace Strangely, now I know my purpose... Hey boys! Hey, get out while you Can I'll try to take us home I'm going home... |

Slipping by as if we never knew it at all Glancing around Seeing faces so familiar, I should recall Seems we should know; Where do they go? I wanted you to know... It's waiting (spoken) Year after year I get used to feelings that were not there before What do we fear? Setting off to find ourselves on some distant shore Seems we should know; Where do we go? I wanted you to know... Still waiting (spoken) In the spotlight (drifting, moving) It's a sad sight (testing, proving) Like a fading glory (every word) In the twilight (we're shifting, losing) Doesn't seem right (gaining, choosing) Can this be the story? (what we've heard) Look at these days Flyin' by so fast it makes my head turn around Long as I gaze It's hard to find an open door that's on solid ground Seems we should feel All that is real I wanted you to know...

It's been a long and amazing time, how it's wasted is such a crime
And the stories we heard still echo in the distance Filled with promises and pain, we had everything to gain But the pride that comes before a fall is with us Lights are on and nobody's home, we've gone from color to monochrome Like some faded photograph with ghostly faces Whether enemy or a friend, it's the message that we send We will never change without until we change within Chorus: Back when the world was so young (when the world was young) To the day when the first song was sung (when the world was young) We chose our own way to black, white or gray When the world was young Are we learning from the past or has it all been already cast Who can change the course of a war against all reason There was one prevailing wind and we said we've got to make a stand And now the barrier's between us for a treason |

Sunlit valley, mountain fields, unseen in the rain, here all life abounds No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth's delights Painted desert, sequined sky, stars that fill the night, here all life abounds Rivers flowing to the sea, sunshine pure and bright, here all life abounds No man rules this land, no human hand has soiled this paradise Waiting patiently, so much to see, so rich in Earth's delights So the maiden lies in waiting, for the sails to reach the shore Land of beauty and abundance, innocent, you opened wide your door Wanderers found the waiting treasure, full of gifts beyond their measure Milk and honey for our pleasure..... Across the sea there came a multitude, sailing ships upon the wave Filled with visions of Utopia, and the freedom that they crave Ravage, plunder, see no wonder, rape and kill and tear asunder Chop the forest, plow it under..... Highways scar the mountainsides, buildings to the sky, people all around Houses stand in endless rows, sea to shining sea, people all around So we rule this land, and here we stand upon our paradise, Dreaming of a place, our weary race is ready to arise |

Seal no fate and hold no key
When all goes well spend some time remembering Know by now that times have changed But we feel each day can be deeper deeper It might be raining now But don't be scared you won't drown I'll hold you in my arms when the rivers rise Lay my heart besides your soul Don't let the tears blur the vision in your eyes Once my eyes get used to the dark I look around it's almost like I'm dreaming Shooting stars how they seem so close I feel your body it's moving breathing |

I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see
The path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost It rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between, All I am, and all that I would ever want be It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak And those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side, The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air It's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding me I want to see Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me I know it well The treasures that I seek are waiting on the other side There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can find And though it's always been with me, I must tear down the Wall and let it be All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross There is no loss |

you think that something`s happening
and it`s bigger than your life but it`s only what you`re hearing will you still remember when the morning light has come will the songsbe playing over and over till you do it all over again play,play the game tonight can you tell me if it`s wrong or right it is worth the time, is it worth the price do you see yourself in a white spotlight then play the game tonight and when the curtains open to the roaring of the crowd you will feel it all around you then it finally happens and it`s all come true for you and the songs are playing over and over till you do it over again |

When I was very young so many songs were sung
So much wasted time on an uphill climb But you where always there, a feeling in the air There was nothing to fear you were so near Now you are here once again As I stand in your presence I can feel the quiet patience of your gaze Like an old superstition You are haunting all my dreams and waking days (Chorus) All my life I knew you were waiting, revelation anticipating All is well, the search is over, let the truth be known Let it be shown (give me a glimpse of home) There's no resisting you among the chosen few It's hard to be sure, it's hard to endure And when I hear your voice I know I have the choice To pursue an ideal, something so real Now I've got nothing to lose As I see your reflection All the answers I desire become so clear Like a page that is turning I can look into the future without fear You're in my rock and roll, you're in my very soul Though it's heavy to bear, it's a feeling so rare And it's a mystery, the way it's meant to be Can we ever know, we're moving so slow There ain't enough time in the world As I reach up the ladder There is something ever higher to perceive Like a fire that is burning In my heart I know I surely must believe |

Can I tell you something
Got to tell you one thing If you expect the freedom That you say is yours Prove that you deserve it Help us to preserve it Or being free will just be Words and nothing more |

Carry on my wayward son
There’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I can hear the voices when I’m dreaming I can hear them say Carry on my wayward son There’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man It surely means that I don’t know On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about I’m like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune But I hear the voices say Carry on my wayward son There’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more No! Carry on You will always remember Carry on Nothing equals the splendor Now your life’s no longer empty Surely heaven waits for you Carry on my wayward son There’ll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don’t you cry no more |

Sweet child of innocence
Living in the present tense Father Time will take his toll Rack your body and steal your soul What became of all the years Are you drowning in your tears Who will catch you when you fall Who will hear you when you call I will comfort you, take your hand and see you through I will take you through the door Who do you think you are Try to live forever and you won't get far I wait behind your door Makes no difference if you're rich or poor Though you're weary and afraid Still you try to flee my blade Come and walk in my new land If you'll only take my hand In the image of those who have walked before me here I am cast in the web of an ancient spell I am holding on to life, I'm drifting in the stream Everything's much clearer now We live within a dream and never wake Judge not by what you see More than you can count are here with me Give up your foolish pride All that walk the earth have died! |

Once carried through the current
And being swept away The king is in the closet He's hiding from today And though he owns all fortunes This room is where he'll stay And his world is filled with darkness, turning grey Gazing out the window Of the 42nd second floor He is separate from all others No one knocks upon his door And it might as well be raining 'cause the sunlight hurts his eyes And his ears will never hear the children's cries Once proud and full of passion He fought the cause of man Many people loved his courage Many followed his command He changed the old into the new And the course of things to come And then one day they noticed he was gone At first it didn't matter Nobody seemed to care They all became too busy To find him anywhere So no one knew not even him The problems he would find On the day he journeyed deep into his mind I close my eyes I go far away Away from this battlefield In my dreams well here I will enjoy it Where innocence plays with all the laughing children The kind who are crying right now A taste of freedom from the pain Of everything here I see Life is sweet but I took it all for granted And now I don't know if I could even tell you Just what we permit, we allow Allow me to forget the life I've made my own I've held this nation in my hand And yet it's not my home Allow me just one answer just one reason why Why this refugee of the family of man must die Tell me why Daydreams filled his nighttimes And night dreams filled his days Confusion and uncertainty A puzzled mind of haze You thought he was so powerful And set upon his ways Well he left us all to travel through this maze I heard the king was dying I heard the king was dead And with him died the chronicles That no one ever read The closet's fully empty now It's occupied by none I'll draw the drapes now destiny is done |

Every day she gets a little weaker
The beauty she once knew has come and gone We've murdered all her sons and all her daughters The blood is on our hands, the time has come And now she's gonna die We've strangled all her trees and starved her creatures There's poison in the sea and in the air But worst of all we've learned to live without her We've lost the very meaning of our lives And now she's gonna die Once she ruled the earth with love and wisdom But we were much too smart to live her way With greed and lust we tried to rise above her The ignorance of man will reach an end And now she's gonna die |
