The thoughts you have given, a spiritual song
I enter the day, it's the first of your voyage
Through logic and time
I'm here by your side
My kiss on your forehead
Your skin is so cold, yet you crack a smile
Without moving you reach out and cling to my hand
Are you happy again?
Ooh, we're crossing the rainbow
Skin ti skin we make love in the sand
Ooh, we go through the pages of life
As we live it again
I'm reading my conscience, why always too late
When fortune is lost
Is it part of the lecture, the lessons of life
Will I learn in the end?
I taste your existence, I feel you are near yet I turn my
head
And I cry like a baby so helpless and scared, to meet you
Theories are made
There's a reason they should be
Hidden far away, until someone can see
Many teachers said
There's a world inside your head
So step outside yourself, look an' see
Slipping away
Opportunities, connections never made
God given chances, can all disappear
Make it happen
Work it out
Hypothetic alone, won't make it work
Get it right
So make it happen
Make it count
Actions speak bigger that a million words
Ignoring the signs
Is your life filled with empty spaces
Theoretically, assumptions can be made
Don't wait around to see, if only now
No more words anymore
No more words, no more words make it work
No more words
Theoretically, assumptions can be made
Money your life you say,
it holds off your dying day.
No questions, resistance can't silence the cries,
the hunger you feel
They're pulling the strings out there,
Fatmen in golden chairs.
Their castles come thumbling down from the sky,
if we now unite.
Now, look what they are doing.
Open your eyes, don't you see that you're treated like
slaves.
It's time to stand tall.
Religion and lethal sin, look more like a synonym.
Stand up and fight it, that part that they play,
is the system we fear.
They promised equality, the perfect society.
The trainload of power is moving our way,
and freedom is here.
The time has come to do or die, to laugh or cry.
This is your chance to become who you are,
not what they want.
Dismay and fear, obeyed commands,
but now it's near.
Bring up the courage you showed in the past,
Good morning my son, watch the sun topping your dream.
In the future a future to see.
Morning or not, it's always too late.
Why do we live in the past?
A moment is just long enough for the next to erase.
[Bridge:]
A fading dimension, with a link to the soul.
It feels like, no freedom, but life to go.
[Chorus:]
I - Hide the poet in silence.
AM - Where the whisper still screams.
LOST - Like a storm on the ocean.
FIND ME
SON - To my inner emotions.
TO - Kill the time on its way.
ME - Bringing lies to the notion.
[Bridge:]
You're blessed with the power of seeing,
What for others remains.
The violence, the torment, with who to blame?
Take a look at my life,
Encounter the ways protected by time.
It's buying, supplying and taking lives.
Take a look at this face,
The present disgust, tomorrows disgrace.
According to you, just a matter of time,
me falling on my knees.
Make place in the end of the line.
You've got the tools I wanted to steal,
guaranteed a steamy night.
I heard it from too many guys.
Why anticipate, hiding in the shade.
Watching the big love pass by.
I'm no fool, I'm no fool for you.
I've waited too long, had to go on,
so don't say I've left you behind.
I'm no fool, I'm no fool for you.
Reaching for a new horizon,
leaving past in silent shame,
Out of this world of fantasy.
I watched you move, night and day,
breaking through my walls of pain.
ooh now I'll break away.
GET OUT first you lead me on,
now you throw me away.
The night that the eye of heaven shines
Down mountains of hope and joy we glide
The best wasn't good enough, all had to greed for more
Took our hand and our soul as well; dwell in the dark
Intrigued by a ghostly light divine
Engaged in our bodily delight
But we had to sail along, to where the story ends
Took the time, just to find that there ain't no way back
Chorus
Who believes in reason, age of common sence
Poisened hearts of black and white
It's grey we are drowning in
While chocking in tiny bits of life
It's flashing in memories through our minds
Why we had to sing the song, we knew was wrong inside
Out of tune, there's no key to those who pray for you
Chorus
All our dreams, we left them for...
Mysteries with velvet claws
All that seemed right to need,
it's gone
Where shall I begin
It's hard to explain, what makes a person anxious
Eyes, all under my skin
Analyse before their Diagnosis
Take a seat tell us when it started
Clear your thoughts
Time for mind, probing
Suddenly first the rush
Pressure in my brain
Molecules explode, like drops of rain
Blinded I can't see, their reality
Trapped in my hell, will I ever break this spell
My blood, boils under my skin
Nervously, scratching the first reaction
How, how shall it end
It's driving me, totally 'round the bend
Mystified by their own conclusions
Given time they'll start, mind probing
Falt on my face in the pool of desire,
she was walking dynamite.
Tricked by tentation, a blinding sensation,
she set my soul on fire.
Tease me, please me, anyway you want.
Hold me back, I'm gonna blow.
One with intuition, hit and run.
She won't loose, till loss has won.
Turn the wheel of passion, shoot at sight.
Fortune is her guiding light.
Out of her Vet, right into my bed,
And I thought OOH lord she's mine.
But she had been fakin', my money was taken,
What it really, no-one really knows
They poke inside your head
An 'still they cannot diagnose
Simple memories, can change the way we feel
Without us knowing from, one minute to the next
I feel naked when they probe inside my brain
If a had a choice I'd put, a moratorium on pain
Unpredictable what kind of mood I'm in
I thought I made it clear, from the start
So don't begin
Through this emptiness
There hides the sorrow and blame
Lies are dangerous
Finish what you've started
Where do we go from here
If we bury the past soon the pain will show
Tortured mind, body and soul
These are the principles of pain
We all fear!
With tragedy comes pain, we cannot cheat the truth
Nor come to terms with it
Staring back at you
Darkest secrets all, hidden behind the fear
Time to face the music now
This cruel game, my whole life you have played
Still tears you shed
Don't lie to me, don't lie to me
All these years, our friendship you faked
Freely this way
Now there's no absolution
This pleasure you've freely taken
Unashamedly all forsaken, lies
No code no honour
A deadly disguise full of false intentions
No code no honour
Surrounded by lies see that look in your eyes
For too many years, secrets undisclosed
Sharing with others than me
Was it all for nothing
You're engaged, in a world of intrigue
I sense apprehension
With no real solution
A mystery tour of pleasure
The ending unknown if ever, why!
No code no honour
A deadly disguise full of false intentions
No code no honour
Surrounded by lies see that look in your eyes
No code no honour
Secrecy wrapped in a strange dimension
No code no honour
A bond without trust, is living a lie
An alliance we made, our friendship was real
I'm a stranger, even to myself.
Living in this masquerade.
As time passed by, all that remained is pain.
More than i can cope with.
In my dreams I hear you say,
"Please come running to me baby"
If I could turn back time.
It's hard to live another day. Witout you.
You seemed so young and touch and so strong.
It's a long and lonely road in the labyrinth of dreams.
Caught in the labyrinth of dreams.
Isolation, now there's no one there,
to wipe away my bitter tears.
It rules my mind, your spirit haunts me time and time
again.
More than I can live with.
They say that time will ease the pain,
but I'll keep running to you bay.
I I could turn back time.
It's hard to live another day. Witout you.
You seemed so young and touch and so strong.
It's a long and lonely road in the labyrinth of dreams.
solo
It's hard to live another day. Witout you.
You seemed so young and touch and so strong.
It's a long and lonely road in the labyrinth of dreams.
Conceptual imaginary, it seems so real which world do you live in
I sense the emptiness inside the brain no apparent function, it has no name
nor does it see reality an existance in an endless masquerade
People adoptpeculiar ways interpretation caught in the maze
instinct the essence of life somehow changed effecting the inside
My life is a world in a visual vortex
where reality and thought drift through time
I'm a millionmiles from anywhere a solitary isolation bare
where fantasies are real as can be a world within a world no sense of reality
My life is a world in a visual vortex where reality and thought
go spinning through time a parralax world in a visual vortex
caught between the emptiness of time
I can't imagine any other way than simply saying why I really feel this way
it's mystifying in each and every sense so nothing ventured nothing new to gain
Slowly life keeps moving on before you know it's gone
the chance to say what's on your mind
My lips are drying up because of guilt
no point in crying once the blood is spilt
no good denying what is wrong or right
time has a way of healing everything in sight
Don't forsake the broken hearted wishful thoughts and proud ideals
finish what you've already started and one day you'll blessed with the
power to reach the ones you trust
Who ever listens every word in vain family connections goes against the grain
takes some persuasion trying to break through advice worth delaying
when starting over new
Take a good look around tell us a truth now what are they saying
they're out of all sight and sound while the hatred is growing
the guilty are praying
Though innocent eyes don't lie it's hopeless subscribing retaliation
enemies all must die is this the road to hell and damnation
Won't somebody help them anymore like a rock to the ground
they keep falling just when they found a real sense of Direction
We determine our own lives with the power the strength to change them
but when manipulation plays a big part then our future is gone
Suppression won't we bother suppression won't we show a little concern
repression won't we help each other only if we can find the time my dear
So what lessons if any can be learnt to help your sister to help your brother
or do we turn a blind eye cos no one we know ever gets hurt
I'm on top of the world, enjoying the fruits of decision
Conquered the lame feeling brought on by your Spanish
inquisition
Hey you cannot beat a religion such as mine
In a way I'm a relic of a god forsaken time
Sure business is tough and we've got to make a living
So never mind the people you loot and consume your glory
days
I hardly can wait for the day the tables turn
I will be there to spit on your grave
When your soul for ever burns
Look for the writings on the wall
This one's for you but from us all
Look at your mirrors ugly face
King of the scum of human race
Near sweet liberty sing it's a song with a truthful
origin
Lip up the sky dance and drink wine to the tune of
judgement day
Hey clouds start to pack, could this be your waiting
sign?
Don't think I care I'll take my share and my chain to
A promise spoken, spoken never kept
Love's not important, to you
How I foolishly believed
At first, you seemed so genuine
That's how it started
'til she strips you, emotionally within
She's just your walking nightmare
Those empty promises she tells
Think hard, before you trust her
An 'break your spirit, mind and soul
Then leave you all alone
Your vision blurred it's hard to see
The anguish she's caused you
Love, that's her game essentially
Seduction is the obstacle she'll place
Laid out before you
Defenceless, she'll have you on your knees
She's just your walking nightmare
Those empty promises she tells
Think hard, before you trust her
An 'break your spirit, mind and soul
Then leave you all alone
All alone, she's leave you all alone
She's just your walking nightmare
Those empty promises she tells
Think hard, before you trust her
An 'break your spirit, mind and soul
She's just your walking nightmare
Those empty promises she tells
Think hard, before you trust her
An 'break your spirit, mind and soul
Then leave you all alone
He sees no more reason, to find the inner strength to
carry on.
'Cause there's nothing left.
There are no more answers.
No more fire in her heart, it all turned black.
No tears left to cry, the river's run dry.
Under gods naked eye.
A frozen horizon, he needs a shining star to melt it
down,
And color his view.
She needs a new vision, 'cause the one she thought was
real,
Came tumbling down and shattered the ground of love she
had found.
Under gods naked eye.
[Chorus:]
Save me,from the thunder roaming in my brain.
The chilly chimes, the bell of pain keeps calling me
Until you....
Save me, 'cause my whole wide world comes tumbling
down,
My feet can't seem to touch the ground.
You're the only one to save me now....
He sees no more reason, to find the inner strength to
carry on.
'Cause there's nothing left.
A frozen horizon, she needs a shining star to melt it
down
And color the sky,
And answer the whys.
The inner room
Was where the game was played
At first I never saw her
The light was shining, in my eyes
Like a goddess she walked towards me
My heart's beating fast
I fell for her in a single moment
Who cares, what she's done
Deep inside the inner room
Their your fantasies are made
A pharaoh's tomb, full of beautiful slaves
The inner room, a dangerous place to play
Where false illusions linger
You can look, but you can't have your way
Words of caution I've heard so many's
But my heart was in flames
She's not worth all the endless sorrow
I've got to have her, come what may
She is the one for me
No matter what they all say
Now it doesn't matter
She is the woman for me
I lay alone, wrapped in chains and lost in visions
Searching for reasons why I feel the pain of the world
To my dismay the visions increased, the rage grew stronger
I'm burning the food of the ones who are skin to the bone
Who are you, projecting my crimes and dealing in pain
I need to go...
In vision two, a bloodred sky, well known intentions
I'm carving a name in the bullet, it gives me the eye
He's so alone, desperate he walks the streets of ashes,
removing the bricks from the ruins as he screamed for his girl
Where are you, projecting the grief,
a world gone insane
I need to go...
Chorus
Under in body and soul,
take me under in a sea of love
Hiding behind the windows of the world
Under under your wings,
take me under and fly me away
Thunder, out the windows of the world
She's daddies girl, he loves her so, he'd like to touch her
Showes her the nature of men, it's the way of the world
A winters night, the writing stopped, the words are written
'Show me the freedom' she cries as she picks up the gun
Who are you, projecting the grief, a world gone insane
I need to go...
Chorus
It's been a long time since I rock and rolled,
It's been a long time since I did the Stroll.
Ooh, let me get back, let me get back,
Let me get back, baby, where I come from.
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
time.
Yes it has.
It's been a long time since the book of love,
I can't stand the tears of a life with no love.
Carry me back, carry me back,
Carry me back, baby, where I come from.
Woah oo oh oo oh oh
Its been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
time.
Waaaaahhhhhhhhaaaaaaaahhhhhhh
(guitar solo)
Oohhh
It's been a long time since we walked in the moonlight,
Making vows that just can't work right.
Open your arms, open your arms,
Open your arms, baby let my love come in, oh oh, yeah
It's been a long time, been a long time,
Been a long lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely, lonely
time.
yeah hey, yeah hey
yeah hey, yeah hey
Ooh yeah, ooh yeah,
ooh yeah, ooh yeah,
Been a long time, a long time,
Another vicious plan made my blood run cold,
I am the man with the thousand face.
I raise my head and speak, like echoes I repeat,
the words will fill up all the empty spaces,
In your head there's nothing left.
Hoist the sails 'cause I'll be coming home,
back to my throne.
It's just like bigamy, it's for the world to see
But no one really knows, no one really knows
There is no need for gns,
such battles can't be won.
Hand me your arms and show
that you're behind me.
Cause those who cheat and lie,
will not be crucified,
I will only close the door before their hollow faces,
reflections of pains.
I don't give a damn, I felt the same.
But never again.
The is on, my life's begon,
Seems like yesterday, you walked into my life and swept
my heart away.
Way out of line,
I couldn't hear you lie it's like a trick of the mind.
Let me tell you mama, the best things in life
suppose to be fare and you ought to be mine.
Down here on my knees, begging you please,
please go after someone who you really need.
You're out of my world, but you go where ever
I try to make a new start with life.
Baby haven't you heard, you're over and out
over and out
Like the day before, you opened up my heart
now it won't close no more.
Day after day,
looking at the future in a devious way.
I'm not heartless guy,
cause mine did some healing.
I don't care if you cry.
So listen to me honey, to my innercall,
After you my dear,
in mutial use we're one, you see
You will know, how it feels to sing along,
with angelsongs, and ride the glory winds
Rule the tide
lose all thats you, all you can memorize
It's to bad, you're stuck in your stupidity
Use your head, it's just a game of give and take
Make your choice, it's joy versus reality
In a dream a woman cried from high above
Telling me In heaven they don't have enough
Can't you see, weOre messengers of higher breed
You and me,
We're all that's left of men's supremacy
Chorus
Eyes behold; one of these days all my dreams'll enfold
Lies scream; It's over...over...
In return; for 'all the faith' that you had in me
You all may dig your holes
So in love my dear
By my side, while I'm inside of you
Yes it seems IOm seeing others down the side
Don't blame me I'm far to sick to realize
Seventeen, virginity on hand and knees
Stick with me
The needle shows just what you mean to me
Chorus
Just had to take a chance,
a shot for new romance.
All burned out to the ground.
An icy madam stare, a hotel room to share.
I guess it's time to make the sound.
The whole wide world walked my way,
all wanting me to play.
But on my one way ride,
there ain't no place to hide,
in case the monster grows too big.
But when the sound of a broken heart,
fades into early morning roar...
HAD ENOUGH, take my love
I don't need it anymore
HAD ENOUGH, take my love tonight
A wolf with angel ayes, she - devil in disguise,
and blew the party off.
No daring love affair or hidden guilt to bear.
I'm selling my place in love.
The whole wide world walked my way,
all wanting me to play.
But on my one way ride,
there ain't no place to hide,

Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry
Having taken a path of no return, he develops a personality of power,
and turns supreme manipulation into an art form.
On the surface he portrays a person being of caring and consideration,
while his dark side hides calmly, until the moment of truth can appear.
Verse
Full of charm, so open minded
Lets you talk 'till you're blue in the face
Compassion sincere
His own portrayal, the proud example to others
When in fact, a covenant he's made
With the dark side of hell
Bridge
Wait! Don't be fooled by him
Stop! don't go near him
His appearance can change, like the chameleon
Chorus
We're all his helpless subjects
And like his damaged toys
Once they're of no importance
With savage grace destroys
Verse
So supreme, a master to many
An' acts like a friend, offers comfort to all
Patiently, telling wild fabrications
Gaining your trust the thrill, the thrill of it all
(Repeat bridge & chorus)
Get ready to run!
Music: Chris Allister & Henk van der Laars
All his devious actions escalate into an atmosphere of absolute mistrust.
Music, lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry
Obsessed with dominance,
he crushes each person who innocently crosses his path.
His adrenalin thrives on a need to destroy basis.
His skill to deceive gains him vast wealth and fortune.
However any trace of his original character
or identity vanishes into oblivion.
Verse
No compromise, no words can make him see
He's elevated to a higher level
To feed a need, let the adrenalin flow
A warped sensation, deceit is blissful
Bridge
Mystified by lies, demoralizing
No second glance, face to face
Thru' those naked eyes, captivating
He'll suck you dry, and leave no trace
Chorus
Once inside your head, the captive mind his game
Manipulates his way, terrorizing
Secrets kept alive, subconscious thoughts awake
Watch him take control, hypnotizing
Verse
A master of, pure deception
His testimony that, that he's a freak of nature
(Repeat bridge & chorus)

Take a look into those eyes
And I can tell you what you'll see

Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry
Captivated by his addiction for over indulgence,
his abuse of people touches the very core
of what mankind perceives as being uncivilised.
Hatred, like an infection, spreads from one victim to another.
The resulting factor is a broken spirit; a shadow of his former self.
Suffocating in his own remorse, he fears the unexpected.
His nervousness takes a form of it's own.
It manifests and takes control.
To him it's real.
He's unaware that his mind has shut out his surroundings.
Isolated and alone, he starts to fear, fear itself.
Verse
You know what they say, your many victims
What comes around, goes around
Over indulgence, uncivilized
Uncertainty, created your discontentment
Bridge
His spirit is broken, lives in a world unreal
An infectious hatred
See how it feels
Now look at you
Chorus
Manifestation of fear
Man's own creation
Manifestation of fear
The mind's exaggeration
Verse
First the unexpected, then the unexplained
Being a victim, that makes him so afraid
The resulting factor, his fear's coming alive
Silently, he's slowly suffocating
Bridge
His spirit is broken, lives in a world unreal
Suffer gods children, see how it feels
Now look at you
(Repeat chorus)
Middle-8
Locked away, all alone
He doesn't know what to expect
Afraid of fear, fear itself
To manifest, taking control

Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry
Four walls, a ceiling, and a constant fear of the unknown.
Driven by a mother's instinct to protect her child,
her worst nightmares materialise before her very eyes.
Verse
A constant fear she has
A mother's instinct to protect
His innocence her child, must not be influenced
Surreal nightmares they appear
Before her very eyes
The walls start closing in, then the madness begins
Bridge
The consequences of her actions
Into a life of stress he came
Chorus
Frenzy, frenzy
On the edge of a nervous breakdown
A living hell, going crazy Frenzy, frenzy
The unknown, eats your soul alive
Your heart pounds, your blood is boiling
Verse
In her chaotic mind
The darkest secrets she would tell
And smothered them with tales,
Not for others
A psychological affect, she'd created
Caused the child to change, he was never the same
(Repeat bridge & chorus)
Ad-libs
All the king's horses and all the king's men
Telling insane stories over again
Music, lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry
Growing up in extreme poverty,
and living in a town filled with empty promises,
the young boy is filled with scepticism.
He battles between right and wrong.
Facing a horrifying decision, which no child should have to make,
his whole life could be turned upside down.
Does he listen to the wishes of his kind, but stressful mother,
to remain living in poverty, and be persecuted by many?
The alternative is to take a road into crime and deception,
with his so called friends.
Either way he'll suffer the consequences.
Verse
His mother sad, now she's left alone
No shoulder to cry on, no hand to hold
To stay alive, worked her fingers to the bone
Guilt nor shame, her child must have a home
She tried to teach him right from wrong
A town without vision, they don't belong
Eternal friends, persuasive lies
Tainted images, through sorry eyes
Bridge
Don't be shy, pull up a stool, stick with us
You'll do okay
Money talks, that's their rule,
Once you join, you're here to stay
you can't walk away
Chorus
Lord knows she tried hard to save him
The angel without wings
Verse
Stigmatised, the poor, the few
Opportunities given, but not to you
He searched along the corridors of power
A fruitless journey, his darkest hour
Bridge
By any rule he doesn't play,
Now he's the keeper, no-one's fool
Who said crime doesn't pay
All his fears have disappeared
Chorus
Lord knows she tried so hard, to save him
Lord knows she tried so hard, to save him
Middle-8
The angel without wings
Time, will it tell, a choice of heaven or hell
(Repeat chorus)
Outro
The years have passed by, the leaves have fallen
Learn to survive in time, you're on your own
When I look at myself frustration I try to hide
when it cries cries out in vain then I can't resist or hide
My state of mind state of mind
Now the feelings from within tell the tale a life of sin
an' a cold journey through time
I don't recall memories hard to focus hard to please
am I losing my mind
A psychological impulse twisting around inside
My state of mind an out of body experience my state of mind
a separation between the soul and mind to be as one with each other
a state of mind in control of my helpless
The weirdest things always happen could it be my penance
a mnemonic phase that I resist
Now the feelings dark within me my sins will never ever be free
On and on and on we go we live our lives but never show
the knowledge guilt we all possess the strength of mind to now confess
Do you watch the shadows, dancing on your wall
Do you float in silence, praying for the night to fall
Baby, had to believe...
I'm holding on forever, you're in my golden arms
I slowly suffocate you, with my lucky charms
Why don't I set you free
Chorus
When I close your eyes remember
There might not be another day
I hold you in my heart,
and I knew it from the start
but I couldn't let it win
I saw it in your eyes...
No lust for life
When you sleep you're crying, maybe you wish for death
When you look you're hiding, don't look away again
Where does it end...
There is a star descending, you reach and tough
the light
Your earthly body's fading, swallowed up by
the night
Down in the dark I stand...
Chorus
The day the war was over, so the story goes
you could hear the churchbells ring hear the laughter
but with hope and glory, lingers memories
in the dark a girl would dance with her shadows
First she lose her father in the burning debris
sorrow took her mother so castly so she was
brought up in a house of strangers
Many years went by so her torment grew a place where children mustn't cry
not a soul to talk too she created her friends through a roomlit view
hand in hand but never shy, the silent few
Locked in a room the walls were closing in
it shocked her system from within so she lies staring at the images inside
Shadow dancer in the dark it's O.K. to shed a tear
remember time to forget shadow dancer in the dark
let the shadows disappear shed a tear now, and time will do the rest
In your mind I am free, I AM
Using you to tell, I CAN
When you touch yourself
From the spot where new life gets born
Right down to the places you don't want to show
Try and find me baby, I'm all over you
In a way I am just your darkest fantasy
I call tell exactly what you want and need
I can't keep your soul from falling
You can't keep your motor running
But release is on it's way...
Spirits watching every motion, day by day
What will be your faith?
Spirits, born to our devotion
On our way
To what will be our faith
I'm the stain on your wall. I AM
Watching you when you craw. I CAN
Won't you touch yourself?
I'm in your bed when you're not alone
Watch you make the faces when he makes you come
Influental called themselves friends gifts they gave some kind of trend
a small town girl who never asked why easy access cum' don't be shy
For no apparent reason when the stakes were so high
she started to play the losers game
Common sense had... no place in their lives we're not so bad is it a crime
cheap solution for the rich to get high no restitution livin' a lie
They should have known better not to turn a blind eye
instead they just left her to die
Fly, children in the sky no escape unless you're willing to die
a price you'll pay, no other way so why do ya wanna play it's losers game
The dealer always wins
Such potential could have gone far her real firends cried
don't know who you are they never got through to save her in time
what else could they do once she lost her mind
You took the step and slipped away
Enchanted by a friendly face
You thought it was love
It took your life out of your hands
You never dreamt that it would ever and never end
Bought and sold
Should have seen it from the start
He stole your love and broke your heart
Love out on display
Among your shattered dreams you stand
Make a reason out of hollow words
What's it worth
Chorus
Oh oh oh YouOll never be the same
Put your trust on love
You're not alone
Oh oh oh I'll lighten up your darkest night
Close your eyes
I will be your day
Seasons come and seasons go
A miracle about to show
Love will come around
Put yourself back in the light
Lose the shadows of your darkest night
You'll be fine
Chorus
My memories clear as ever of a little boy
I can see myself so full of wander a child so full of joy
In a field oh way up yonder not so far from home
lived a sweet old man called Mr.Wonder because of dreams he told
He once so philosophically explained
there's a reason we're brought into this world
I wish he was with us today pray hear me say I understand now
No matter how how hard we try we never listen when destiny's calling
we still keep changing our lives stop, look and listen
it's destiny calling you (when destiny's calling you)
Looking back remissing changes long gone by
opportunities I keep on missing I've stared 'em in the eye
The gravity of all my actions I try hard to disguise
it became crystal clear we change the future affecting all our lives
An old man philosophically explained
there's a reason we're brought into this world
Funny those words that he said will always be true forever and ever
Each promise we break the choice is yours and mine
each wrong move that we make we're missing chances
each step with each day will get harder, harder if we go our own way
Watch her walk, down the streets of yesterday.
Unborn child kicking its way out.
Why is it your life has been shattered,
and banned from the game.
Someone put her back on line.
Lost in mass confusion.
Can't you see the writings on the wall,
build a bridge to love.
Sometimes you feel just like dying,
but you never give in.
Just hold on, you'll have your time.
Lost in the illusion.
Can't you see the writings on the wall,
build a bridge to love.
There is trouble in paradise,
(more than meets the eye)
I can hear your desperate cries,
See a life end before it's time.
Feed your heart with lies.
TROUBLE PARADISE
TROUBLE PARADISE
Angels of mercy they're coming,
and they'll show you the way.
Don't you worry he won't be back here anymore
Try a little harder go as far as you can go
a state of tolerance something which you'll never know
The mind has a way of playing games and twisting your reality
you're hooked like a fish and deep inside lies the pain
He's longing for reality no more abnormality
So sad to say you're no one's child reflection is a part of you
an' come what may your nations wild are killing you
More and more like a drug you're longing for who's it for
for pity sake, god knows who
Nowhere to turn too no one here that wants you
stay far away now way beyond normality
no one to talk too, talkin' cannot help you stay far away now
you've stepped beyond reality
Where limitations have no place the more extreme the more you do
you most certainly won't stand a chance of pulling through
Close your eyes, love will come your way
Close your eyes tonight
Do you feel the way I feel can you see things I see
does your body sometimes feel so cold and empty
Cum take my hand we'll go far away to a wonderland called Aladdins Cave
have no fear now, walk across the waves abd discover how, how to be so brave
so brave
Don't be afraid, have no fear you're not alone
mysterious ways, salvation is near taking you home
Staring at the sun makes you wild with rage
feel it urge you on, to Aladdin's Cave
Roaming far and wide, search into tomorrow
pilgrims seeking pride stead of endless sorrow oh no!
Come, I can help you!
I lie awake in bed
Wondering why, I can't hear a thing
The world outside, seems unusually quiet
I listen, but I can't hear I noise
Oh, it's not possible
A world full of people all content
No rich or poor, just a fairytale
Try to imagine
How wonderful, life could feel
I sense a presence in the air
I can feel it all around
A kind of silence in the wind
A peaceful energy to share
I can almost touch it seems so real
The sound of silence in the wind
I'm not too old, just an ordinary chap
Who wants to make a wish
A special dream come true
Call me naive, call it innocence
But I bet that's just the way you're feeling to
The sound of silence in the...

Sadly his mother watches helplessly,
as her child demolishes the very fabric she believes in.
Catching an occasional glimpse, she remembers with great pain,
the anguish she felt, as the memories from her past re-appear.
Frustration turns to confused anger.
She still can't come to terms with the fact
that her husband took his own life.
"Why", she asks herself, "why didn't he tell me?
Why couldn't anybody lend him a helping hand?"
All the while her son is silently crying out for help.
Intro
Looking back in time,
Without consent.
two lovers ran away
A tragic tale, so often made
So sad and destined to fail
Verse
They're in and out of every place
Searchin' hard a sad disgrace
At best a darkened room, without a view
Those memories, still remain
Never once did she complain
Now time repeats itself, all over again
Bridge
What he did, was insane
Sadly his own life he'd take
And you've been left to face the guilt, alone
Chorus
Just try to remember
He was a victim of circumstance
Close your eyes, try to recall
The strength you felt
Now, is the time to be stronger
Than you've ever been before
Bury all your anguish and fear, you're not to blame
Verse
Don't analyze, come to terms
Face the truth, don't turn away
Where there's a will, there has to be a way
Into the world, your child came
Responsibility or shame
He backed away from you, don't lose him again
Ad-libs
You're not alone! you've got to be stronger
I gave you freedom, don't hand me your pain
A loversheart burning, now has vanished in the flames
Our kind of love was to strange to comprehend
It's beauty as fragile as circles in the sand
Maybe one morning comes,
and I can see it clearly in the sky
Shining in my eyes
Your soul is a temple, all secrets retained
and why share your feelings when you have the world
to blame
Surrounded by water, your problems are oh so deep
You're swimming a lifetime,
but there ain't no land to see
Maybe one morning comes
and you can see it clearly in the sky
Shining in your eyes
Chorus
I can see, but can you see
I can hear reality, knocking upon my door
Can't take it anymore,
words left unspoken, not to return
The mind is a weapon, a way to suppress
But how can I blame you, for you had no place to crash
Keep hope for the future and hold the strawend tight
Defeat isn't final when there's still a way to fight
And then the morning comes
and you can see it clearly in the sky
Shining in your eyes
Chorus

Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry
In a dangerous environment, a single mother fights against tradition.
Protecting her son from the corrupt influences surrounding them both.
She tries to raise him as a good and honest person.
Year after year, many sacrifices have to be made,
but the white lies and tales she tells each Christmas,
cause the child to develop a warped perception of life.
Verse
Danger lurks in every place
A mother fights to protect her child
Tradition stipulates its way
It's easy for them to say
Influences all around
Hard to change, creatures of habit
Sacrifices must be made
A few white lies she must tell
Bridge
The pressure lay on her shoulders
Decisions unfair
Desperately seeking comfort
Searching for strength not there
Chorus
Have no fear
Unorthodox ways, unorthodox methods
Alone and afraid, different from others
All alone
She carries the strain, the future uncovers
Hide your tears
Verse
Years of hardship and of pain
Corruption lingers in all the dark corners
Her efforts are in vain
His perception of life has changed
Don't waste your time
He's lost, it's time to pray
Bridge
Stupid to point a finger, she isn't to blame
Believing that life will bring him strength
The courage to find his way
(Repeat chorus)
Your quest has begun, to find the answers
A modern day tale
A search for peace, friendship and laughter
Everlasting dreams
Will you walk beside us
If we stretch out our hands
We can solve the mysteries
In the land of the brave
Walk...
Walk in the pilgrims parade
The challenge of life you can face
Walk in the pilgrims parade
Here in the land of the brave
Year after year, endless searching
An 'still you don't know
How to solve, all your anguish
Discover your dreams

Ignored and hated by many, he can't stand the very sight of himself.
Believing only that people wish him harm,
while all the time there is a sympathetic eye from an admiring lady.
As the years pass, she slowly gains his trust,
but not without incident.
Being of a passive and loving nature,
she helps to transform his anger with regression.
Eventually his fears are changed into a positive belief
in the goodness we all possess.
Verse
Ignored by the many, adored by the chosen few
Friends he hasn't any, just his own point of view
Bridge
There stands a lady inbetween the shadows
Waiting patiently for you
Holding out her hand she whispers
Together we'll pull through
She transforms his anger
Helps him wipe away the tears
Chorus
I'll be there, standing next to you
I'll be there I will pray, I will pray for you
'Cos you're one of the forgotten children
Outro
One of the, one of those forgotten children
One of the forgotten friends
Cast away those sins forgiven
Fight on, fight on to the end
You?ve gotta fight on
The morning winds carries the guild of the night
Hands it out and sighs, angel like faces conseal
Masters and slaves, driven by the same
Caught in a world built on lies, left to rhyme
Given place and time, to fill up the gaps in your life
Silence bears the shame
Can you remember the time life was worth
The beauty of the word
No diamonds could steal it away
It was your life you see,
Forced into history, pushed back in time
I am your destiny
I feed you, disease you, I am your world
Capture the spirit, so open your mind
Listen to reason before you decide,
Money won't buy all the things you desire
The future lies wide open
WAR Greed and illusions, all caught in the fight
Darkness faces light
Can you remember the time life was worth
The struggle of a birth
No demons could steal it away
It was your life you see
Forced into history, pushed back in time
I am your destiny
I feed you, decease you, I am your world
Chorus
Build your walls up high
For angels grace you cry
Capture the spirit, so open your mind
Listen to reasons before you decide
Money won't buy all the things you desire
The future lies wide open
FIGHT Fight of the fever
The capitol guide
It's not your life you see
Let it be history, way back in time
Love is your destiny
It greeds you, it feeds you
This is your world
Chorus

Lyrics & vocal melody: Ian Parry
Paranoia slowly starts to take effect.
His huge fortune has created many enemies.
In haste he searches for solitude.
Secluded from the outside world, he lives in a fragile sense of security.
Locked away he hopes to find peace of mind,
but instead he's haunted by the terrifying images in his dreams.
Images of those whose lives he so mercilessly helped to destroy.
Verse
All of that money you've made
From all of those souls with their lives they've paid now
Lost your pride, locked inside
Where's the light at the end of the road
Bridge
Blame and sorrow
No more day, just, tomorrow
Close the door, turn the key
Lock the misery away!
You're living in an ivory tower
Verse
All of the guilt you should feel when all of the torment you caused was real
Truth you've found, changed your made
At the end of the road there's a light
Bridge
So many places, hidden lies, saddened faces
Close the door take the key, try and throw it away far, far away
Chorus
In a solitary day
There's a solitary point of view
Hide the fear away!
That's the price you have to pay
Middle-8
They're coming to get you, put boards on your windows
It won't take 'em long 'till they find out a way
Don't sleep stay awake now, look over your shoulder
Your enemy's coming to take you away!
Chorus
In a solitary day, there's a solitary point of view
Hide your fear away, it strips away the good in you
(Repeat chorus)
The moment has come for the undertakers.
Don't look at the faces now,
Chances are renewed by our loss.
Vultures appeared out of vivid friendship.
Gliding the wind, dying to win,
What the other lost must be found.
If only yesterday would shape up to the words.
I'd like to say, then in a way
I'd be beside you...
[Bridge:]
I walk the decisions, gpt forced into life.
Can't live by a vision when love is a lie.
Rage without reason, a spell on mankind.
With rain comes a season, cach drop is a cry.
Why, I don't know why, I'll never know.
[Chorus:]
I should have known better, to let you walk out all
alone.
You walked out on everything.
You should have known better, to let me wait here all
alone.
You're everything.
Carried by time makes the world look bigger.
I see many faces now,
They may have even seen my unknown.
Licking my wounds makes me so perceptive.
All that I lost, taken by pain,
In the end I gained just the same.
I'd love to put a pistol to the day.
Shoot, and run the other way, then in my way.
I'd be beside you.
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
[Solo]
