Come into the Open
Maybe I should go or should I stay Well I just don’t know I’m scared of going out alone The vultures wait to tear My soul apart Come into the open There’s nothing left to hide Come into the open Where I can see your face Among the crowd I can remember feeling lost Unwittingly I found my way I sense the depth of your despair The torturous guilt you carry Everywhere you go Come into the open etc Bridge instrumental section Show me, show me, lead me Out into the open There’s nothing left to hide Come into the open Where I can see your face among the crowd And through the misty haze Of youth and ideology I’m seeing things more clearly now I know that nothing can deceive me as I Come into the open etc Come in Come in |

Consider your destiny
You threw all those chances away Now you're clutching at too many straws And waiting for fortune to play When you reached out your hand There was nobody there To protect and reassure you Now the curtains are closed to the past But the future is open to you. Watching the wheels go round Watching the ship go down Somebody throw her a line She'll make the next move .... Treading the tightrope of fate As incidents throw you of course She remembers the power and the strength of this, the invincible force When you wish for too much. You get nothing at all When you waited you got your reward When you ask for too much You get nothing at all So take all you need and move on |

Something says it’s time for change
If that’s what people want Wheels are turning Conscious burning Will they ever stop And sometimes I see all the answers Does fate tell me what to do Decision, a clearer vision Moving into view Solo Sometimes I’m optimistic And then you disappoint Sometimes I’m going nowhere I need time to think things out and Sometimes I see a direction Does fate tell me what to do Decision, a clearer vision You can see it too Life’s a gamble Life’s a gamble Life’s a gamble Life’s a gamble, life’s a gamble Moaning Life’s a gamble Into outro. |

I looked into the hourglass
And watched the grains of sand I wandered through the latitudes And crossed the strangest lands L Laughing L Loving Reach the promised land F Fighting L Losing Lost beneath the sand Journeys into places No man has ever been Conquering the continents No man has ever seen Where time amounts in misery Where treasure's buried deep Where no man enters to disturb The king's eternal sleep L Laughing L Loving Reach the promised land F Fighting L Losing Lost beneath the sand Journeys into places No man has ever been Conquering the continents No man has ever seen I'm lost in a forgotten world Where ancient heroes fell The Sphinxes guard, their solitude Their bodies rot in hell L Laughing L Loving Reach the promised land F Fighting L Losing Lost beneath the sand Journeys into places No man has ever been Conquering the continents No man has ever seen |

Shout
The preachers run towards their shelters They’ve got to find somewhere to hide Discontentment fills the air As everyone looks for some escape Don’t let them win Don’t them drag you in Shout above the noise Burning bridges doesn’t mean That you can’t return where you came from Persevere and rear your head Just to let someone know you’re here Don’t let them win Don’t them drag you in Shout above the noise Instrumental When everything around you falls And all the walls are closing in Situations in control You must exercise your strength of will Don’t let them win Don’t them drag you in Shout above the noise (Repeat) Silence is no virtue in a crowded world Where no-one hears Feast your eyes upon the fools Who follow the leaders without thought Don’t let them win Don’t them drag you in Shout above the noise (Repeat) You’re searching for someone else’s Identity, identity So push your way down to the front Make no mistake make no mistake Don’t let them win Don’t them drag you in Shout above the noise (Repeat) |

Alone in the darkness
The firelight flickers A cry in the distance That shatters the silence. Lost with her thoughts There’s no one to confide in The baby is crying But she doesn’t want to hear it Take me away She hears herself say Have I the nerve To run away from it all She is the slave So cold is compassion So strange are these feelings The shadows are watching her She knows it, she feels it Alone in her dark room Her mind holds the key To her memory, to set her free And end this misery Take me away etc She is the slave Sometimes she feels she can’t go on She sees her life as past and gone Alternative solutions seem inviting But they’re out of reach But soon the time will come To face reality The future holds the key To set her free Is this the end to all her misery? Take me away etc She is the slave |

Henrietta, why are you calling
The last dance is over The guests have all gone You drank your champagne And the roses are dead now Henrietta, why must you live on? You're alone now. And laughter it echoes Through sparkling hallways The ladies are waiting in velvet and bows So strike up the music We'll dance until daylight The ghosts never sleep As the dust settles down. You're alone now. Together, forever as silence awakes you You're watching the figures go round and round, round and round Voices are whispering - "party's over" So Henrietta why must you live on? You're alone now. |

Walking, running, searching for something
Premonitions in my mind That turn into reality and vague replays Premonitions in my mind That turn into reality of future daze Frightened of something A feeling just something Blabber Do I really feel this weird sensation Is it only in my brain Or is it just an image flashing past my eyes Is it just a trick of light A brief acquaintance In this life Or is he from a memory Deep inside of me I wanna know Deja vu, deja who, deja me Uncertain of the future I don’t want to see Wonder if you recognise Remember me? Who am I, who are you, who are we Blabber Do I really feel this weird sensation etc |
