from Asia - Aria (1994)
As a child, we played the game
Fought the war, but felt no pain Arm to arm, we left the skin THen said the words, remember them Oh, never a moments doubt Oh, feel it, scream it loud Chorus: Anytime that you call Anytime if you fall Anytime I'll be there for you Any moment of fear Anytime say the prayer Swear that our word is true Should I go Should I stay? I won't turn my head away Cross the line, the great divide So kill the silence, where we hide Oh, never a moments doubt Oh, feel it so scream it loud Chorus If clouds fall, stand tall As mountains climb from endless sea Call out, fear not Bring back that memory Chorus |

Walked the streets at night
Head low To cross the borderline That only you know Then inside your room You'll show The man you did not want to be Chorus: Are you big enough? Are you losing your touch? And if you walk away Don't you know you'd better change From these early days Don't want to let go You'd climb the stairs of change To her room Held those clothes so soft Was it so good To paint the face the scars of youth? Chorus |

As I look back
In that last act Far beyond the call of duty Did I stay strong? Did I give more? Far beyond the call of duty And I know, you know... now |

From the very first rush
To the very last sigh In a moment's touch To the whole of time Be the secrets of pain Kiss the tears that you cry Just to hold without Get to touch within From the sound of your breath To the taste of your skin I'd give all my days Just for one of your nights I've just got to get next to you Let it out, let it go Chorus: Desire, make it physical Looks to feed the thrill Desire, with its hungry eyes Closing for the kill Desire, all that's left in me Tears the night in two Desire, like a primitive Claw my way to you Are you thinking of me Like I'm thinking of you? How the innocence dies In a passionate stare A shaft of light A silent dare The call of the wild... From the very first crime Of original sin To the carnal lie Where the truth begins Just to feel your nails Lift me up like wings I've just got to get next to you Let it out, let it go Chorus |

So early in the morning
It's the same now every day Sign your name and number Cutting from the ball and chain Never letting go when The weight was so deceiving Treading on a turning wheel Machinery is screaming Shoulder to the stone again Praying for the evening Hiding as the fist hits steel Chorus: Enough's enough It's eye to eye Enough's enough We cry Enough's enough Of smoke and steel Enough's enough Of turning this wheel Looking at his picture Steel did turn the skin to bone Father I remember The hands that had to break the stone Chorus |

Feel my mind, the sleep is ending
As we rush into the sea Take my eyes, and I will show you The future in the deep You must breathe on You must be strong Am I right to fight the distance As we push against the tide? You must breathe on You must be strong Rushing through my head, I can touch the thunder Lighting up the mind, as the wind blows stronger Pushing back the sea, as the storm is calling on Louder than before, in the raging river Faster than the stream, will it last forever? Holding back the time, as the world stops turning Feels like love... Tell me, does it feel like love? We look to the sky, to the statue of hope She is holding the flame, as the island awoke To the city of dreams, where the angel still sleeps See the satellites glow as they rise from the sea Feels like love... Tell me, does it feel like love? |

The fighting's over now
There's nowhere left to run My ammunition's out I'd better put down my gun And as I face this life of fear I'd better keep my conscience clear Inside my mind I'm out of it And I ain't never coming back Chorus: So don't come running here to find me 'Cos I'm a military man And as I spin this wheel of fortune In my military world I'm a military man The architects of time Are calling me But I don't believe it Necessarily And as I face this life of fear Break the chains That bind me here Inside my head I'm out of it But I'm still never coming back Chorus I'm a military man Just a military man yes I am |

It's down your wire, it's on your screen
Pirate satellite, next to MTV Insert your hand, subscription free It's reality Put on the suit, connect the chord Free mind of city life, just ecstasy Don't block the flow, only you can see Your reality And as the programme runs surely to the screen You can't hold back, you're in Reality - so virtual Reality - machinery Designed by me, but physical Reality, just anything you want to see Is it wrong it's in your mind Banned by the chosen ones, how they rule your life Exit that page, enter brave new world From reality And as the programme runs surely to the screen You can't hold back, you're in Reality - so virtual Reality - machinery Designed by me, but physical Reality, just anything you want to see |

The battlefield, the smoke has cleared
Silence in sight, the blood lies deep Look from the hills, the valley calls Six hundred fall, a lost to all Someday, somewhere, ever calling One time, one life, ever falling Chorus: And will you remember The flowers in the fields? And will you remember The loss of one so dear And will you remember Through the mist of lies? Remember Their spirit never dies Remember Out of the skies, and into the green Fuelled by the lies, paid by soul Soldier, hero, well 'Uncle Sam' He don't wanna know Chorus |

When you wake, I'll be gone
Just a space, an empty chair And I know, I was wrong Just one more time, then I'll be gone Who stopped the sky from falling? Who held you back from harm? Who stood as walls were falling? A call still guides us on Chorus: It's a sad situation And no one's to blame I'ts a sad situation Now you're gone It's a sad situation Which someday may change It's a sad situation Now you're gone In the dawn, turn the page We stand alone, as the lions rage I suppose we'll move on A fight of minds, that still breathe strong Who stopped the sky from falling? Who held you back from harm? WHo held you close when hurting? Who keeps the doves of hope? Chorus |

Her fingers feel the air
The mantle now so bare From green then into brown Lie scattered all around We hope they will return Like those before did learn Now that their summer's gone We have to carry on Till we rise, I just can't wait Now tell me, who are you To judge my fate? Chorus: Oh, the rain burns on Now that summer's gone Oh, the wind blows strong Now that summer's gone Across the fields we ran To emerald castles, banned By rule of modern man Who built a winterland Then as the seasons change He'll fly and hide away Above a cloud of words On wings of gold I heard We must rise, it's not too late Now tell me, who are you To change our fate? Chorus |

You can take it
If you want it You can break it If you need it I'll never fight another day But you can take the flesh not the soul away They're calling from the lions den They're fighting for the ghosts of holy men Into the arena we climb We look to the sky Into the arena we climb You and I Is it over When the light goes? Bella nova Tell me who knows Scars will beat the minds of men Can you feel the thorns upon the skin? I'll never fight another day till I die {Chorus} Yes I hear you Yes I see you Yes I feel you And I need you Is it over, I'll never fight another day When the light goes? But you can take the flesh, not the soul away Bella nova, they're calling from the lions den Tell me who knows? They're fighting for the souls of holy men {chorus} |

Another meltdown,
Another change of state. Some other big town, Where he can make his break. And she said, "No, I like it this way." And he said, "Oh, does this mean I can stay?" I feel like I'm just caving in I really do And what is to be must be Help me, now I'm falling Give me early warning Help me, I'm in danger, over you So how you feeling? You know it's not too late. Don't hold your head down, You must recuperate. And she said, "No, I like it this way." And he said, "Oh, does this mean I can stay?" I feel like I'm just caving in I really do And what is to be must be Help me, now I'm falling Give me early warning Help me, I'm in danger, over you |

In the distance, I can see them
On the trade winds, across stormy seas. They are many, please believe me, There's something to find, There's someplace here deep inside of my mind. There is a time where, There is no place here. Tell me if you get there... Heaven Can you see this land I'm dreaming? Such a place, I hope we will find. Is it there now? Tell me where now, 'Cos I need to know. Believe... It's still deep inside of my mind. There is a time where, There is no place here. Tell me if you get there... Heaven |

It seems such a long year
Since our eyes last met. You were a lone child, I have no regrets. Oh, you know sometimes how I wonder, If I am a fool. The rocks that are pulling me under Are heading a fall. Dont be afraid Youre not alone, now By the guard of angels A new rock will rise As mountains cut sky, now Heaven knows Never, Never, I could never lose my faith in you (could I ever break my faith to you) Never, Never, Will I ever turn my back on you You must be strong now And stand as a man. As I will be leaving, Leaving this land. Sometimes I wonder, If I am a fool. The rocks that are pulling me under Are heading a fall. Turn my back on you |

Tell me why,
I don't believe in you. I don't believe it's true. I don't believe in you. Happens nearly every time, If you let them, they'll control your mind, Yes your mind. But that was only yesterday, So you had to wash your head in hate. In hate, in hate. Tell me why, I don't believe in you. I don't believe it's true. I don't believe in you. Shall we stand against the wind? Staring at the justice of their sins, Their sins. What have they done to live this way? In a modern world, the fragile pay They pay, oh yes they pay. Tell me why, I don't believe in you. I don't believe it's true. I don't believe in you. |

Standing on the border,
Waiting on the line. Silence is a stranger, In these troubled times. I recall a better place, Where I controlled my mind. We had no fears at all... The day before the war. Hands across the water, The sun is in the East. Who will feed the famine After lions feast? In the name of Jesus, In the name of God, You took it all in vain... The day before the war. Standing on the border, Waiting on the line. Feet in bloody water, Deafened by the crime. I recall the beauty, Young will never see. We had no fears at all... The day before the war. Hearts across the water, The sun is in the East. Ships arrived this morning, From the burning sea. Take away the glory, Take away the pain. You were a friend of mine... The day before the war. |

Took the ground,
From underneath my feet. Silent town, Ghosts this empty street. I see the home that once was mine, Now just bones of former life. Touch this page of sacred time, again, I see you call... You don't have to be strong for me. I won't shoot your defences down. Whatever happens, I want you to see We can face it together. And turn it around. A new life Grows within his hands. Coming back To this promised land. And with these bones we will rebuild, To the flesh of future life. Giving back that sacred time, again... You don't have to be strong for me. I won't shoot your defences down. Whatever happens, I want you to see, We can face it together. And turn it around. |

Laser, breathing on my window
Two strings, beating out of time Koto, warning of the danger Wake up, is your head still mine? Now they give you reasons To fight for love That's enough In a paper world That's enough Said the Chinese girl That's enough Another city falls Just because we're two sides of the moon Data, streaming through my window Chrome stars, whispering their lies Black sky, hides approaching stranger Reach out, two should now be one Disregard the reasons And look above That's enough In a paper world That's enough Said the Siamese girl That's enough Another city falls Just because we're two sides of the moon |

Don't tell me what you are
Don't tell me what you're after Don't tell me what you want Don't tell me what you need Aren't you just the one to always point the finger I don't care for you 'cos you don't care for me ! U bring me down........repeat COUNTER RAP U bring me down/You're giving me no hope Sucking off our land/Blowing off the smoke Virus in the veins/That run into the sea Poisoning the world/With you're generosity U bring me down/You're killing me with lies You take away our ears/ Won't take away my eyes The red red sea will return unto the vein Covering the world/Are you happy with your gain REFRAIN I could breathe, I could fly The day before you came (Think you own my skin now) Break the chains, free the slave Turn the tides against you now Talking to the sky You promise evolution Progression of the mind By selling of the soul The last will be the first In the dust of revolution Someone cares for me But no one cares for you REFRAIN 2 Will I breathe? Will I see? Far beneath the clearest stream (To the deepest ocean) Break the chains, free the slaves Give back the blood, that you drain from this world now |

If I whispered words, would you hear them now?
Would you cross the deepest seas? In the fiercest winds, on the burning trail, Seal it with your word. If I whispered words, would you keep a lie? Would you promise me till time? So if we grow old and the distance parts, So seal it with your word. Oh, I'll scream upon the hill, So, you can hear me still. Now, will we ever fade? I seal it with my word. If I whispered words, would you hear them now? Would you cross the deepest seas? In the fiercest winds, on the burning trail, Seal it with your word. |
