Long days, slow waste
Sew lies, sow hate
So many years to clean the slate
Endless despair within its wake
His touch soiling what used to be clean
His gaze burning on the edge of our dreams
No more
Long days, long days
And again he rides in
It's September and he covets the gullible
Skeletal wish hunter
A thousand lies, cast from the throne of secrecy
Hear him spewing forth a meaning to miserables lies
See the twisted hand of doubt seal the affair
The insect trust believer
Your body a vehicle to to house his disease
Pearls before swine, they are nothing but blind
Submit to nothing and swallow my spit of scorn
Invisible king, dying
Procession of woe, struck down by sorrow
A burden so great weighs heavy on old and withered beliefs
The swift solution crumbles
Beneath the mock notes of a masterpiece
Death in his eyes, waiting
Spiraling judgment, provoked in the rains
This futile test drowned in the levee of deception
This futile test drowned in the levee of deception
In the year of his sovereign
Rid us of your judgment

We, the people
Face the challenge of our lives
Apparent heirs of this domain
The time is short for us
To set a new priority
Or we will surely pay the price - of the world
- Your world
- My world
- Our world
In the name of progress
We take more than we need
Respect for life exchanged
For corporate greed
Chemical waste destroys
Our land and sea
With no regard for the future
Of our world
We, the people
Face the challenge of our lives
Apparent heirs of this domain
We, the people shape our destiny
And the time is now to take care - of the world
- Your world
- My world
- Our world

All the pieces seemed to fit today
The sky blue matched the city grey
The roads all led to somewhere
The words I heard were true
Everything seemed to fit but me and you
All the pieces seemed to fit today
Laughter came from children's play
Something came from nothing
One and one made two
Everything seemed to fit but me and you
We are two lost pieces to the puzzle
We are two forgotten words that used to rhyme
We will never fit together

I look into your eyes as you look into mine
I see you smile and look away
I sense a passion burning deep within your heart
Can this be real? I look away
And then I wander through the maze of my emotions
Looking for the answer to the question in my mind
Another dream has come and gone
I watch it fade away
And now I wander through the maze of my emotions
Looking for the answer and waiting for a sign
Tell me now - you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow night?
I look into your eyes as you look into mine
I see you smile and turn away
And now I tremble in the midst of my emotions
You are the question and the answer to my dreams
Tell me now - you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow night?
Tell me now - you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow?
Will I be with you tomorrow night?
I look into your eyes as you look into mine
I see you smile and come my way
Tell me now - you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow?
Tell me now --- you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow?
Will I be with you tomorrow night?

Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
And a vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains -
Within the sound of silence
In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
-That split the night
And touched the sound of silence
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
-And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence
"Fools", said I, "You do not know"
"Silence, like a cancer, grows"
"Hear my words, that I might teach you"
"Take my arms, that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence
And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls - and tenement halls"

A servant's life is always short
I never wonder why
An angel fails to keep his wings
Falling from the sky
On your way-on your way
On your way-to the ground
A misty dew settles down
On the Earth below
The Winds of Time are telling me
I've got no place to go
I'm on my way-alone
But now, I'm free
To find the reasons why
I must beleive, in faith within my mind
-and in my wings
A servant's life is always short
I never wonder why
An angel fails to keep his wings
He knows it's time to live or die...

Memory- go away
I grow weary from my running
Hiding for so long
I've lost my way
Morning light's reminders
Painting colors in my prison
Daylight brightens every shade of grey
The pain never ending, and now its so cliche
Yesterdays are creaking doors
And noises in the nighttime
Feelings, only chains across the floor
Voices on the wind, softly moan
I hear them whisper
Mirrors mock the man I was before
My mind slowly fading
Like paper in the rain
The haunting, it still remains
The haunting, it still remains
Turning and burning in my bed
A never-ending ghost
That lives inside my head
Memory- go away
I grow weary from my running
Hiding for so long
I've lost my way
Yesterdays are creaking doors
And noises in the nighttime
Feelings, only chains across the floor
My mind keeps decaying
Like paper in the rain
The haunting, it still remains
The haunting, it still remains
Turning and burning in my bed
A never-ending ghost
That lives inside my head
Memories remain of the haunting

I looked unto the Old One, in the Sacred Halls
I found him there amidst his grief, and crumbling walls
The tears that lined his face
Told the tale he tried to hide
Of castles made of sand, and of the tide
A whisper through his sobs
I heard him softly say
"My kingdom for a wise man: yesterday"
"No one can save us, no one can stop the end"
Not all the king's horses, or all your amen's:
There's no disarming, no forewarning
Morning is over - forever burns the night
Time's forever fused with the night
The passions of men -in a flash
Put an end to the light
No one can save us now
Nothing can stop the end
Not all the king's horses, or all your amen's
No disarming, no forewarning
Morning is over- forever burns the night
Time's forever fused with the night
The passions of men -in a flash
Put an end to the light
Shadows seething - darkness fills the sky
Ashes wreathing - fire burning on high
Suffocation - the light all gone away

The black night is the cloak I wear
I'm a nightmare borne on wings
A dark image of boundless fear
On the street I'm King of Kings
A pale specter of shattered hopes
I'm a symphony of lies
A vague shadow, a nameless pair of eyes...
A stained picture of broken dreams
I'm a twisted demons' rage
A cold whisper, a silent scream
I'm a panther left uncaged
The dim glow of the haunting moon
I'm your deepest fears unveiled
The wind mocking your every step
I'm a dagger cast in steel
The black night is the cloak I wear
I'm a serpent's icy gaze
A grim chorus, a siren's suite
I'm the misty twilight haze
The chill stabbing the midnight air
I'm a frenzied banshee cry
A blind evil, a mindless beast

They dwell in a palace of ivory and gold
In beauty and comfort, a fortune untolled
Yet, out in the courtyard injustice prevails
They've turned their backs on what Lordship entails
They squander their riches on oceans of wine
The masses are starving while ministers dine
The Bringers of Sorrow, the Masters of Pain
Rise up in anger, let sweet vengeance reign!
Tear down the walls - tear down the walls
A code of corruption, a throne of despair
A common affliction the townspeople share
Depriving the hungry and robbing the poor
Slaves to a system they loathe and deplore
A bounty of torment, abuse of command
The wicked are crippling this misgoverned land
The innocent perish, the cruel remain
Take up your sabres, let sweet vengeance reign!
Tear down the walls - tear down the walls
Tear down the walls - tear 'em down!
The peasants are storming this palace of gold
By evil repressors, no longer controlled
The banner of justice unfurled overhead
The victors rejoicing, the conquered lie dead
Yet few of them know what the future will bring
Another unjust and unmerciful King
The nature of Monarchs is always the same
Soon time will come to let sweet vengeance reign!

When the light starts to dim in the evening
When the day starts to fade
Your body echoes an uneasy feeling
You know you're feeling afraid
You don't know where you're going
Or where you've been
You try to run- but it's too late
You've stumbled in
-Now you're
Screaming, 'cause you're afraid of the dark
Screaming toward the light
Screaming, 'cause there's a fear in your heart
Screaming into the night
On your face I can see that you're worried
On your face I see fear
Is this the time that you said you'd run lady?
From your darkest fears
You don't know where you're going
Or where you've been
You try to run- but it's too late
You've stumbled in
-Now you're
Screaming, 'cause you're afraid of the dark
Screaming toward the light
Screaming, 'cause there's a fear in your heart
Screaming into the night
It's too late to run now
I'm right behind
You're over now- I see you

I hear it in the distance
I can feel it in the wind
Somehow, some way
Will it return again?
I see a change taking over
A taste of things to come
Somehow, some way
Am I the only one?
- Running from the thunder
- Reaching for the sun
I've heard it in the distance
I've felt it in the wind
Sometime, some day
Will it return again?
I've seen the changes around me
The threat of things to come
Sometime, some day
Am I the only one?
- Running from the thunder
- Reaching for the sun -Lookout!
Running from the thunder

One small voice had a dream
Now he's seen the other side
One small heart ached for his people
His children, and his pride
Just one man
With one hope for the world
Just one man
And one small voice was heard
One small voice had a cause
So he lived in a cage
One small love that endured
Through his pain and his rage
Just one man
With one hope for the world
Just one man
And one small voice that was heard
One small voice

Dark figures dancing madly underneath the moon
Chilling cold of fright surrounds you here
Shivers running down your spine like frigid blades of ice
The wind blows applause throughout the hills
Nighttime brings vague and shapeless visions into view
Images of evil catch your eyes
Danger lies amidst the shadows everywhere you turn
'Cause in your dreams the darkness never ends...
Nightmare - faces in the dark surround you
Nightmare - images of Hell around you
Nightmare - nowhere left to hide
Nightmare - haunting you tonight
Memories of haunting voices burning in your mind
A strange uneasy presence in the air
Your heart pounds, your breath stops, you tremble with fear
Cast into a cauldron of despair
Caught within a wrath of torment every night you dream
Soon you'll be afraid to close your eyes
Imaginary fears are flowing like a steady scream
As you approach your midnight-mare
Nightmare - nowhere left to hide
Nightmare - haunting you tonight
Don't go out alone
Don't go out alone

They march at night through fiery battlefields
And the Death bell rings it's toll
They take no prisoners, they shoot to kill
And ever onward they will roll
Plated armor of the hardest steel
Their tanks are quick and their Trooper's keen
A game of chess with clear-cut strategy
Masters of Invasion, take your prey
Masters of Invasion, claim your life and dig your grave...
The Legions follow orders manifest
No provocation to avenge
Assume a destiny to reach the West
The conquered live in hope for their revenge
You can't escape this vicious War Machine
No sanctuary for this Grim Regime
Freedom and property are stripped away
Masters of Invasion, take your prey
Masters of Invasion, claim your life and dig your grave...
And on they march to quench their thirst for greed
Without a warrant for their crimes
Annihilation is their craving need
And the Death bell counts the lives
Another country doomed to die in vain
Another victim of this Mongers' Reign
Another paragraph in History...
Masters of Invasion, take your prey

Watching the setting sun
You feel the days gone by
Autumn is ending- with winter impending
Was summer just a lie?
But just like the seasons
You know you spring will come
You're young forever
Just like the setting sun
You'll rise again
You're young forever
Taking on time in a race
That you can't win
Down but not out it's clear you're wise
Beyond your years
Time is a ship that keeps on sailing
Despite our hailing tears
But just like the ship
The wind will fill your sails
You're young forever
Just like the setting sun

Like oils upon a canvas cast in silver, black, and grey
The angry skies of autumn hold the distant sun at bay
Mighty airborne armies waging battles in the sky
The clouds are locked in conflict, sending thunderbolts to fly
Yet in our abundant wisdom
Man can't tame the sky, the mountains, or the sea
Held beyond our understanding, helpless to deny
The Hands of Destiny
A monolithic menace reaches up to touch the sky
Below, a tiny township, waiting, helpless to defy
In a violent clamor sends a molten sea of flame
Bringing forth destruction, leaving nothing to remain
Yet in our abundant wisdom
Man can't tame the sky, the mountains, or the sea
Held beyond our understanding, helpless to deny
The Hands of Destiny
With the rage of Neptune, savage seas divide the land
Claiming countless victims of the power at His command
Dark and dismal waters seem to laugh with fiendish pride
Leaving those who dared to venture washed up with the tide
Yet in our abundant wisdom
Man can't tame the sky, the mountains, or the sea
Held beyond our understanding, helpless to deny

Looking through the windows to your mind
Can't you see that there isn't much more to find?
As you take the crystal deep within
Waiting for the magic to begin
And are the broken mirrors of your soul
Dying for a lesson to be told?
And will you ever find an answer there?
Daring to approach the Dragon's Lair
And the dragon beckons you nearer
And you think you're so damn strong you've got no fear
Are you a victim - a blind man - a fool?
Living in illusions, you can only lose
Shooting deadly arrows in your heart
Bleeding from the moment that you start
A rush that never seems to satisfy
Tempting you once more before you die
And are the broken mirrors of your soul
Dying for a lesson to be told?
And will you ever find an answer there?
Daring to approach the Dragon's Lair
Dragon's Lair
Are you there?
Do you care?

Hero, Warrior
Sit behind the lines and make the call
Leader, Believer
A vestal three-piece high above it all
But until you've walked the miles
With the people that you lead
You can't understand their pain
When the common people bleed
Fuhrer, Big Brother
Victimize the weak and make us strong
Teacher, Savior
Sanctify your answers, right or wrong
But until you've walked the miles
With the people that you lead
You can't understand their pain
When the common people bleed
--You should be decorated
Adorned by scarlet bars
A celebrated General
To brandish blackened stars
--You should be decorated
Your ribbons frayed and torn
Upon your paper pedestal
For the children to adorn
--You should be decorated
Leader, Believer
Victimize the weak and make us strong
Teacher, Savior
Sanctify your answers, right or wrong
But until you've walked the miles
With the people that you lead
You can't understand their pain
When the common people bleed

Barbed wire and barriers are holding me
Though the barricades are only in my mind
I can't seem to break through the walls
Even though I am made of steel
Like steel to a fire I weaken and bend in the wind
Create the desire for crossing the wire
I'm laying it all on the line
Crossing the border
Leaving the sadness far behind
Surrounded by anger and fear
I'm the eye of the hurricane
Like a leaf on a tree in the wind
I yearn to break free
Create the desire for crossing the wire
I'm laying it all on the line
Crossing the border
Leaving the sadness far behind
I'm crossing the border

Somehow, somewhere, someone
Sold me the wrong set of dreams
Like a rag doll in careless hands
I come apart at the seams
Like a willow I'm bending -an actor pretending
The script I've been given is true
Like a child that is force-fed
I'm throwing this shit back at you
Anger and fury my
Anger and fury my
Anger and Fury my
Anger and fury my
Wall of anger -my cacophony
Neon and screens were my feeling machines
No wonder I feel like a fool
I'm a fire of resentment with media methane as fuel
My soul and the soles of my shoes both have holes
Still somehow I get through the sorrow

Face the facts of Life On Earth
The nature of Mankind
Pages from our past are now defined
Humanity has common sense
We all know right from wrong
We've lived in False Pretense too long!
RISE!! RISE!!
Face the facts of Present Day
RISE!! RISE!!
Rid yourself of ancient ways
Fear of gods and demons is the folly of your mind
Acknowledge facts of Science -don't be blind
The war of Good and Evil is what you create within
The Facts of Life are where the truth begins
RISE!! RISE!! RISE!!
Prepare for your future -don't live within the past
The ancient cultures never knew the facts
Technology has given truth where myth had been before
It's time Humanity stepped through the door
RISE!! RISE!!
Face the facts of Present Day
RISE!! RISE!!
Rid yourself of ancient ways...

I'm waiting for morning, but night lingers on
When will the darkness give way to the dawn?
Is there an end?
Cast in a shadow so lonely and cold
Wondering whether I'll live to grow old
A question of "why?"
The quest for survival is second to none
Can we unite before our end has come?
Open your eyes!
Cast in a shadow so lonely and cold
Wondering whether we'll live to grow old
A question of time
And what do we have down this road that we're on?
A world of hatred, pollution, and pawns
Futility pounds in my brain!
And what of the people who dream they'll be saved?
Are they immune from the fallout and flames?
If we're responsible - who do we blame?

They march at night through fiery battlefields
And the Death bell rings it's toll
They take no prisoners, they shoot to kill
And ever onward they will roll
Plated armor of the hardest steel
Their tanks are quick and their Trooper's keen
A game of chess with clear-cut strategy
Masters of Invasion, take your prey

Masters of Invasion, take your prey
Masters of Invasion, claim your life and dig your grave...

...And the poor shall kneel down at their Master's feet
And dedicate themselves to please...
Raging rivers run for the lucky one
For the Keeper of the Grail
And the lower men, subjects of the King
On their hands and knees remain
Raging rivers run for the honored one
For the Keeper of the Key
And the lower men, servants of the King
Live to suit their Master's greed
The Keeper of the Reign
The Keeper of the Reign
Feels no pain...
Raging rivers run for the Royal One
For the Keeper of the Crown
And the lower men soldiers of the King
To whom their lives revolve around
The Keeper of the Reign
The Keeper of the Reign
Feels no pain...
Raging river run with the blood of mad men
Battle is the Keeper's game
For the Lucky One, to him no harm comes
The Keeper never feels their pain - No Pain!

Show me a tear, and I'll know you're a dreamer
Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome
Tears like empires falling to the ground
Yet we're shackled to those dreams
We're tied and we're bound
So show me a tear and I'll know you're a dreamer
Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome
:Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome:
Show me a tear, and I'll tell you a tale of glory
Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome
Show me your fear and I'll sell you a timeless story
Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome
Nero's song of mourning weeps
As pillars fall like rain
Only shattered hopes and dust remain
Show me a tear and I'll know you're a dreamer
Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome
Show me your fear and I'll know that you're a seer
Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome
Tears like empires falling down
See them on the ground
Yet, we're shackled to them
We are bound
Show, come on and show
Show: show:.
Are there any dreamers?
Are there any dreamers?
Show me a tear and I'll know you're a seer
Nero's song of mourning weeps
As pillars fall like rain
Only shattered hopes and dust remain:

I've seen through times of mystery
And dreamed of truth in history
I can't imagine why we'd let our lives be stole away-
For Armageddon
To be their pawns
And fear their Gods
With no free will - NO!
Another candle burning down
See the flickering light upon the ground
There'll never be a Chosen Few
The ignorant- they never knew
And now the oceans cry
From the fire in the sky
And there's nothing you can do
'Cause the world you've known is through
And now your people cry
At the rivers running dry
And there's nothing you can do
'Cause the world you've known is through
Desire- - the lust for total joy
The Fire- - a world it shall destroy
Fever- - you'll feel it in your mind-
It's the nature of your kind
Lost - the future from your view
The Cost - too high to start anew
Reason - the one thing you ignore-
Could open up the door

Here I am in a spotlight
Alone: all over again
And you are home by the firelight
With someone else, instead of me:
The words seemed so real
And baby that's why I feel
Alone again
I swore you were my friend
Now I'm all alone
All alone again
The rhymes I could make
If me heart wasn't breaking
In two: over you
Oh I'm the fool
For believing in things
I can't hold in my hands
I don't understand
The words seemed so real
And baby that's why I feel
Alone again
I swore you were my friend
I'm all alone

Just imagine things beyond the chains of understanding
Beyond reason, beyond logic, beyond fear
Believe the inconceivable, feel the unbelievable
Don't bother asking "Is this real?"
Just imagine meaning in the things you never dreamed of
Like your leaders, your lovers, and your songs
Natural Order's changing, in effect
Giving everyone a cause
Dreamer dreaming in a seeming sleepless land
Just imagine:
Just imagine something inside nothing
Like a child in emptiness
Or a dreamer in the dark
Creative cryogenics - a mind
A candle yearning for a spark
Dreamer dreaming in a seeming sleepless land
Just imagine:
Just imagine peace where there was none before
Under virgin skies
Just imagine children with hope
Again in their eyes
Just imagine:
Just imagine people really caring
And not just saying they do
Just imagine nations really talking
