All of my dreams that fell through and had tasted so sour
Take second place in my mind for this one sacred hour
Still I've been moved for so long by this strange fascination
Here as I stand all alone in complete concentration
Face through the clouds in the Gods shine with awe and splendour
Rise up and roar they approve will they always remember
I hear the voice of the crowd, it will last forever
Locked in my heart kept away like a stolen treasure
I can hear them calling
Hear the crowd applauding
If it's real I like the feeling
If I'm wrong who am I deceiving?
Night after night it repeats an exciting romance
Shared by us all though we met by a fleeting half-chance
Caught, trapped in time no escape from this powerful dreamworld
In midnight skies burn on many stories untold
On icy nights winds blow that touch everyone
You still think you are so far away
But you pay the dearest price of us all
'Cause you stand on the edge of the world
And you're dreaming all your precious time away
Dreaming all your precious time away
Morning comes so soon too bright in your eyes
Talking to yourself you don't even try
There alone where no-one bothers you
You can stay a thousand miles from us all
And in this world you sleep ignoring
Another night has passed
This endless sleep might be rewarding
Now you've found yourself can you tell me how you feel
Oh you look so well everything seems new and real
Can you rise above all the worldly cares you had
All the foolish thoughts have they really left your head
Yes I'd like to see if you really know for sure
Are you still conviced what you had was less before
Will it last for long you're obsessed by new ideas
There's a change in you but you change most every year
Can you stand there and tell me now
It's not only a dream it's better
It's a part you could play for ever
We all play the game
We all play the game
And 'though we think again still it will be the same
We play the game this foolish game
The search goes on never ending thirst unquenched
What you're looking for someone yet has to invent
Does it please you well did you have to look so hard
I bring you peace and understanding
I give you freedom from your cares
I bring the truth with no illusion
To give you hope when you despair
I have the secret of the whirlwind
I keep the eagle close at hand
This kingdom tall as any mountain
Will reap the treasure from the land
I am the teacher
I am the teacher
I am the teacher
More than you'll ever know
Everything I can show
I have the answers to all questions
Above us here and far below
No voices will be raised in anger
The lights burned out, and with it it's taken my eyes
It seems so hard it's taken me by surprise
And oh baby all that you said must be lies
I cease to feel the wind and the rain on my face
Sometimes I'm sure but then I'm confused in my haste
And oh baby I'm standing but taking no space
But I don't cry easy no I don't cry at all
Oh but you don't believe me and I think that's my only downfall
What am I going to do about you baby
What am I going to do without you now
You had my love wild as an ocean could call
I was the fool and you were the winner take all
Don't place your trust in foolish promises sworn
Nor cryptic message scrawled upon every wall
Street corner justice beware
The spirit will find you always be fair
The shallow verse once read means nothing at all
Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall
In lies your heart will not share
The spirit inside used without care
The spirit that guides you follow it through
To the spirit inside you always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside is used without care
The battlefield of glory pales into rust
The river flows much thicker fed by each thrust
No beast alive does compare
The spirit beside you everywhere
Let not your head be turned by tainted reward
And dreams of fortune won forever to hoard
Your conscience could not repair
The spirit inside used without care
'Cause it will be your shelter, help you how to decide
And it will be your helper should your loyalties divide
The ash of pages swept before the cruel wind
The loss of choices praises no-one will sing
No clues to how you will fare
The spirit implores you tread where you dare
The dust lies thick on casket rich or quite poor
Distinction disappears the worm both deplore
The candle burns out once more
But the spirit inside you won't be ignored
Thoughts on Calvary,
And salvation,
Wears a rosary,
No hesitation.
Above the sound of gunfire,
A prayer for strangers,
Couldn't get much higher,
Talks to angels.
Chorus
She's got something more than feeling,
You've just got to ask her.
She's got something to believe in,
And there's nothing better.
Friends and enemies,
A time for reason.
A time for charity,
A cry for freedom.
In the roar of battle,
Changing fortunes,
Senses bound and shackled
In the dark room.
(chorus)
Scarlet roses growing on white skin
Voices carrying nightmares
No escaping them
She's there
When did you stop lookin` homeward
Deep in trouble endlessly
Just like a ghost `cross the water
You disappeared quietly
Now every day seems too long
And everythin` just goes wrong
So when d`ya start to live again
Oh what a way for this to end
CHORUS:
You better let somebody in
No open door to anything
You better let somebody in
The times growin` shorter
Let somebody in
You`re gonna lose it all again
You better let somebody in
Before your blood turns to water
Now you get lost in your own time
Hide your secrets far away
Don`t count the cost when you`re fallin`
Don`t have the answers so they say
When everyday brings you down
You`re just a face in the crowd
`cause you don`t try you don`t pretend
Oh what a way for this to end
CHORUS
I thought that I really knew you
But that can`t be right
And no one could ever find you
Lost in the night
(guitar solo)
Innocence is traded on the road to paradise
When ambition starts to raise it's ugly head
Prizes won't be given for the last ones in the line
And that's something that we all appear to dread
Listen to the raving of a disillusioned man
As the rainy days collect to do their worst
Full of neat surprises is their sympathetic plan
They will cut you up and sell you 'till it hurts
We're all spinning on the roundabout
I don't wish to fight just to prove that I'm right
I don't wish the world upside down
I don't wish to fight just to prove that I'm right
Too late to be tender
Far too many fall along the way
Sad case the pretender
Hopes and dreams that vanish day by day
Building the illusion
Answers from the wings to steal the show
Failing in conclusion
Forgets the lines forgets which way to go
Morning comes round too soon
When you're starting back at the moon
Are you caring or acting the fool
Wishing they'd never been born
Come all you young and precious souls
Your legacy waits come on take a hold
Come all you young and precious souls
Take on the mistakes unchecked or resolved
And through this madness find
I can read between the lines
Understand what's on your mind
There's a storm about to break
And you just can't wait
Stand up
Hear me out
Stand up
Hear what I'm talking about
I'm confused
You can't lose
What kind of love is this
When I can't defend myself
What kind of love is this
I gotta look for help
Now we're runnin' out of time
And no matter how we try
All the colours turn to black
And we can't get back
Stand up
Hear me out
Stand up
Hear what I'm talkin' about
Been accused
You're bad news
What kind of love is this
When I can't defend myself
What kind of love is this
I gotta look for help looking for help
What kind of love is this
On a sea of emptiness yeah yeah
What kind of love is this
You're caught up in anger, trying to hurt
That feeling will change you, just like a curse
You say you don't feel it
- we all need to be loved
You say don't believe it
- we all need to be loved
You think you're so clever, don't get it wrong
Cause you should know better than just play along
You say you don't feel it
- we all need to be loved
You say don't believe it
- we all need to be loved
Deep in the night, when you're alone
Shadows will fall, you'll hear your name when no one has called
Well there's no power as strong as love is
With love you've got it all
There's no power as strong as love is
You can open any door
Your message is clouded, make yourself clear
Your alibi's faded, spill one more tear
You say you don't feel it
- we all need to be loved
You say don't believe it
- we all need to be loved
Deep in the night, when you're alone
Shadows will fall, you'll hear your name when no one has called
Well there's no power as strong as love is
With love you've got it all
There's no power as strong as love is
You can open any door
We all need to be loved...
We all need to be loved...
(Guitar Solo)
Well there's no power as strong as love is
With love you've got it all
There's no power as strong as love is
You can open any door
There's no power as strong as love is
With love you've got it all
There's no power as strong as love is
I won't go softly
Won't be discreet
You know I'm not drownin'
Don't need relief
Ain't tired of livin'
I don't wanna die
My cup ain't empty
It won't run dry
Where is the journey no one defies
The end comes early
That's no surprise
When it's all over & it's all done
The best is waitin' & yet to come
Take me to the edge
Let me look across
Sacrifice the conversation
Stuck on muddy ground
I can't find the key
Just another complication
My hands are tied & bound
Can't get nothin' done
Run away from accusation
I'm alive and well
No more yesterdays
I don't need the confrontation
When apprehension gets overdone
Let everyday pass
And one by one
A new beginning
A brand new start
As the old memories inspire the heart
Where is the journey no one defies
The end comes early
That's no surprise
When it's all over & it's all done
The best is waitin' and yet to come
Take me to the edge
Let me look across
Sacrifice the conversation
Stuck on muddy ground
I can't find the key
Just another complication
My hands are tied and bound
Can't get nothin' done
Run away from accusation
I'm alive & well
No more yesterdays
Wild Swan By Magnum.
--------------------
Wild swan follow the river
Don't fly through dangerous skies
On and on from bow and quiver
Ride over mountains so high
Over feilds and the ruin of castles
Into the evening we soar
City lights begin to sparkle
Like diamonds thrown to the floor
Fly home it's just me and you
Your only son
Fly home I've been waiting to
The time has come
The time has come
Wild swan follow the river
Don't fly through dangerous skies
On and on from bow and quiver
Ride over mountains so high
Out to sea on the wings of heaven
Where silver cuts like a knife
Say farewell to the ships of the ocean
We travel into the night
Fly home it's just me and you
Your only son
Fly home I've been waiting to
The time has come
The time has come
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
When the Black Queen begins to play
Strong and lonely
Don't look away
'Cause there's nowhere she can't go
She won't tell ya
And you won't know
And now it's time to cross that river
And show your feelings just before you depart
You know it's real
You must consider
No good remainin' so hold back the tears
Don't ever give up the fight
Now the White King shakes in fear
By his castle
They draw near
It's a story we all know
And it's somewhere
We can't go
And now it's time to cross that river
And show your feelings just before you depart
You know it's real
You must consider
No good remainin' so hold back the tears
Don't ever give up the fight
I really thought we'd come together
But once again there's somethin' tears us apart
You know that it could get much better
Heroes we've seen come and go thru' the years
Daybreak and they'll be waiting
Nervous out in the cold
Searching the blue horizon
Praying they'll soon be home
Sweethearts, parents and lovers
Hear them say
The tall ships are coming in
They ride like a ghost on the tide
They come way down from Rio
The tall ships are coming in
Fifty-nine days without land
Six thousand miles, way down from Rio
And they travelled by the stars
Guided on the way by the southern cross
Under Sugar Loaf Mountain
Down in Boto Fargo Bay
Christ on Corco Vado
All seems so far away
Close by, all point skyward
Five fingers of god
The tall ships are coming in
They ride like a ghost on the tide
They come way down from Rio
The tall ships are coming in
Fifty-nine days without land
Six thousand miles, way down from Rio
And they travelled by the stars
Guided on the way by the southern cross
Sweethearts, parents and lovers
Hear them say
The tall ships are coming in
They ride like a ghost on the tide
They come way down from Rio
The tall ships are coming in
Fifty-nine days without land
Six thousand miles, way down from Rio
And they travelled by the stars
Guided on the way by the southern cross
The tall ships are coming in
They ride like a ghost on the tide
They come way down from Rio
The tall ships are coming in
Fifty-nine days without land
Six thousand miles, way down from Rio
And they travelled by the stars
Guided on the way by the southern cross
Come on, come on, come on, come on, come on
The tall ships are coming in
They ride like a ghost on the tide
They come way down from Rio
The tall ships are coming in
Fifty-nine days without land
Six thousand miles, way down from Rio
And they travelled by the stars
Don't invite the vicious companions
Though they're always at your side
Only waiting to take you a ride
Feel the creature rise inside you
With misguided I'll intent
Look around it's your only defence
On and on the story goes
Where it leads to we all know
What you give is what you get
What you give is what you get
See the hungry cry for the children
Watch the greedy call for more
And the self ordained proceed to shut the door
When the needy run from the table
For they know there's nothing there
Hoping one day will somebody care
We've gotta be good gotta be strong
The final approach is taking too long
Too late in the day when everything's gone
Now the villain he may prosper
And the thief might do as well
With amusement their crimes they dispel
All the promises they've broken
And the hearts they have betrayed
They were just theives and robbers,
You were a stepping stone.
Look how the innocent suffer,
Raging like a storm in your soul.
One thing they forgot to mention:
Making peace was their last intention.
There was a time you trusted,
You were too proud to beg.
Now you just feel disgusted
With everything you've done and said.
There really wasn't time to cry,
Or even kiss the children goodbye.
Chorus
You got swept by the Flood
You got talked out of dreams.
There was a price on your blood,
Couldn't wash yourself clean.
It wasn't really worth a whole lot,
Looking back on what you got.
Like words in the mud,
Tears in the stream.
No more dreams.
All that you ever wanted,
All that you'd seen and heard,
Never got really started
Like a river never turned.
They didn't give a reason why,
Never even bothered to try.
(chorus)
Killers without a conscience,
Only the good lie dead.
Great father who trades in nonsense,
Picture this inside your head:
The magic of the talking wires
Don`t hear the thunder come close
If I`m a fool who cares
I`m just the joker, the cool host
But no one knows how I feel
This things for real
Wrong time in the wrong place
Oh I`m lookin` out for you
There`s nothin` I can do
CHORUS:
Choose your own path that you walk with great care
Your direction will be yours alone to bear
But though it may be long and many times go wrong
You're on your own this journey none can share
And there is no other way of stayin' alive
Just killing time nowhere to hide
Stayin' alive you can decide
It's always harder where two roads divide
And before us lies a choice that's not too clear
Many voices offer words upon your ear
Running through your head are some best left unsaid
Don't listen just to things you'd like to hear
Heading slowly through still waters dream away
But it's always growing shorter come the day
Throw your dreams away
None of us on this earth will be here
On our children will the sentence be severe
Still we carry on doing what we've done
I'll tell you something
About the things that you should know
And you'll learn as you grow and in turn
Be one step further
Along the road to realise
There's no rules bad advice many fools
First class performance
To fill the lines of empty heads
There's still hope for the dream but you don't
Embrace disorder
It will chill you from inside
And destroy everything that you try
Innocent faces look up in the classroom
Soon their time will come
So beware the skillful disguises
It's too easy to dress up in white
For this world can be full of surprises
From the glitter a kingdom looks nice
You're learning there's no returning
This final blunder
For which they all expect our thanks
They will hide from the kill to survive
The great disaster
They'll take great care and will avoid
Being there 'cause it's more than they dare
Don't be fooled by a shining appearance
It gets tarnished in time don't we all
Hey'll be wearing their wealth on their fingers
And instructing us all how to fall
Just another broken heart
Any fool can see
Though we're living worlds apart
You're still next to me
I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye
Just another lonely night
I'm missing you again
Nothing ever turns out right
So when's it gonna end
I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye
When you start talkin' love
You know that I'd run through the night
To be with you
Talk about love
It's a walk from the dark to the light
To be with you
Start talking love
Talk about love
You left me with a broken heart
Any fool can see
Now we're ling worlds apart
Guess it was meant to be
I'm never gonna give you up
Never wanna make you cry
Never gonna give you up
Never gonna say goodbye
When you start talkin' love
You know that I'd run through the night
To be with you
Talk about love
It's a walk from the dark to the light
To be with you
Start talking love
I'm looking round at the posters on the damp wall
Hear static on the radio
There's no sound from the mission or the dance hall
No place that I want to go
Broke up am I dreaming it's a sad day
Too much to be sitting here alone
Bad luck and it's gonna be a long day
There's no number I can telephone telephone
When you fall
It's no game
Cause if you do it over and over again and again and again
Sometime love is very strange
Sometime love takes you apart at every stage
Sometime love will break your heart
Break your heart or what remains
Sometime love takes you apart drives you insane
Day breaks and it starts another heartache
Hurts bad reaching out for someone
The games up here comes another heartbreak
All this and it's only just begun
When you fall
It's no game
If you do it over and over again and again and again
And again and again
Sometime love is very strange
Sometime love takes you apart at every stage
Sometime love will break your heart
Break your heart or what remains
Sometime love takes you apart drives you insane
And again and again
Sometime love is very strange
Sometime love takes you apart at every stage
Sometime love will break your heart
Break your heart or what remains
Sometime love takes you apart drives you insane
Red on the highway diamonds in the sky
A million stilettos cutting tears from your eye
Peppered with starshell pouring silver rain
Falling like lumber but you're feeling no pain
You can't run
Can't run
Can't run away
Can't run na na na na na na na
Can't run away
Blood in the river terror spikes your soul
It's louder than thunder way down deep in this hole
There's a light in the mountain a fireball in the town
Tornado in the making and a shaking in the ground
You can't run
Can't run
Can't run away
Can't run na na na na na na
Can't run away
Trapped in the shadows feeling ragged and torn
Radio message bringing no help at all
There's a light in the mountain a fireball in the town
Tornado in the making and a shaking in the ground
You can't run
Can't run
Can't run away
Can't run na na na na na na
I never had a chance
Once I put my eyes on you
Too old to play romance
Said nothing that made sense to you
You took me by surprise
Breaking out is hard that's true
It started from inside
No telling what the heart will do
Steal your heart
And you'll never recover
Steal your heart
You won't look to another
Steal your heart
And you will never recover
You had me from the start
Doesn't matter wrong or right
You can't do the things by half
You take a dangerous line
Holding a loaded gun
It's just a matter of time
Before you hurt someone
So keep your running shoes close
And sing your rebel song
Then disappear like a ghost
The hunter won't be long
Don't you know there's no forgiving
Like a rabbit on the run
When you have to go on living
By the gun ...
Well go on shoot
Someone cries that's the beginning
Go on shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Come on and shoot
Show the world that you're not kidding
All gathered deep in the earth
A careless light betrays
Be feared the Devil he's at work
No place to end your days
To hold the balance of the fight
And scream your hearts desire
Don't give the automatic right
To quench the holy fire
Don't you know there's no forgiving
Like a rabbit on the run
When you have to go on living
By the gun ...
Shoot
Someone cries that's the beginning
Go on shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Come on shoot
Come on shoot
Someone cries that's the beginning
Go on shoot
Justify the blood you're spilling
Yeah
Show the world show the world
Yeah
Justify the blood you're spilling
Rockin Chair By Magnum.
-----------------------
You want love
You get hate
Oh you push and you shove
You know you just can't wait
You've had your fun
You don't fool no one
You build it up
To tear it down
Runnin out of luck
I won't get kicked around
I could drive all night
Till you're out of sight
Hide and seek
Turnin' on the heat
Runnin like a cadillac
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run
I ain't comming back
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
When you came
You played rough
Now I know your game
And you ain't good enough
on't know what you've done
'Cause you ain't begun
You fool with me
You gotta understand
That you don't get to choose
Whe night comes around
I can't be found
Hide and seek
Turnin' on the heat
Runnin like a cadillac
I'm so sick and tired
You're a damn dirty liar
When I run
I ain't comming back
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
Red sky burnin'
Won't be no returnin' so long
Fire up the motor
Don't you get no closer
Yeah I'm gone
Oh you better beware
Keep on rocking this house
Baby I don't care
Breakin' out this jailhouse
We're going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair
I need my rockin'
But I don't need no rockin' chair
All you people
Got to get together
Don't confuse it
Try to make it better
No more nation against nation
All this narrow vision
All you lawyers, all you teachers
And you politicians
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Amen, I'll say it again
Are you ready?
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Got to stand up
For the sense and reason
Talk it over
And we'll start believing
We're not guilty or suspicious
Of different dress and colour
All you preachers, all you bankers
And you mathematicians
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Amen, I'll say it again
Are you ready?
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Look out
A change has got to come
A change for everyone
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
Amen, I'll say it again
Are you ready?
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Amen, I'll say it again, again
Are you ready?
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Rock heavy
Oh, rock heavy
Rock heavy
So cold the night that darkens every waking hour
Let me in I shall devour all within
I hear the sound the earth does tremble at my feet
Skies explode at last we meet anger flows
So sad so sad
The wings that flew me here were glad
Like before I've never had
But there's always tomorrow
Strange dreams of sorrow
So sad so sad
Deny me now a thousand years would serve me well
But for me who can tell who can see
I ride the storm of tearful forces wrapped in pain
Here I am I to blame if I ran
Lost in the shadows,
Rain clouds all day,
There's a ghost in the mirror,
Well I'm gone but I'm not too far away.
Poor little sisters,
Easy to find,
Oh! You heard me come knocking,
Saying Jesus is a friend of mine.
Hear no evil,
See no evil,
Speak no evil.
I must be sleepwalking,
Can't believe that sweet talking.
No magic red shoes
Under my bed.
Well there's no need to worry,
The wicked witch of the East is dead
Jonothan Seagull
Taught me to fly,
While the father and husband
See you like the water's edge
The taste of fear is in my heart and in my head
I've never seen a power so strong
The silver moon just like a medal being hung
Feel your touch your brand of fire
And your magic weave is more than I require
I've never seen this place before
I live in this world yes I know where I belong
Time has no respect for man'sd vanity
We hold the keys we are the caretakers of insanity
We've been down this road before
Learnt the lesson on the surface it's been scored
One step away
Away from you
One step away
Away from you
Your many faces I can't trust
I walk alone I'll take my chance I won't be pushed
You promise all the things i need
I'd have to change my ways and all I believe
Feel your touch your brand of fire
And your magic weave is more than I require
I've never seen this place before
It's another long night
Ain't no heart in this town without pity
There's not enough love
Yeah, it's tough in this part of the city
Somebody cries
Tonight we ride
We'll take you to the other side
Hear me, mother
Will the day ever come
Say a prayer for your wayward son
If I could I would run
But there's no way out
No way out
No way out
Ain't we born to be free
On the far side of town
With the rain falling down
She stands waiting
It don't seem right
She cries to the night
Her heart breaking
She can hear his words
Still see his face
It takes her to another place
Hear me, father
Just what will it take
Give me an answer
Before it's too late
How to make an escape
Is there no way out
No way out
No way out
Ain't we born to be free
Ain't we born to be free
Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh, Ohhhhh
Yeah, yeah
Hear me, father
Just what will it take
Give me an answer
Before it's too late
How to make an escape
Is there no way out
No way out
No way out
Ain't we born to be free
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
No way out
Lay down your rifle
Your sacrifice
Lost in the thunderous noise
Thousands will slumber
So far from home
Those who weren't there criticise
All dressed in black
Deep as red wine forever there
Letters not sent
They will decline one sacred prayer
And the rain still comin' down
In the churchyard no one's about
No one knows his name
Took a lifetime to work it out
They all pass away in time
It's too cold on this winters day
As you concentrate the flame
Burning brighter so far away
Memories golden
Nothing is lost
A woman stands holding his life
Carries the worries carved in her face
She won't be sleeping tonight
All dressed in black
Deep as red wine forever there
Letters not sent
They will decline one sacred prayer
And the rain still comin' down
In the churchyard no one's about
No one knows his name
Took a lifetime to work it out
They all pass away in time
It's too cold on this winters day
As you concentrate the flame
Well he was born
His father's pride and joy
His young life scored
Before it began
Dressed up in blue
His mother's only boy
Someday this child
Would have to be a man
He went to school
Shiny and white as pearl
They did not teach
The things he should learn
Things he would need in this deceitful world
Which way to run or which way to turn
He became strong
Everyone looked to him
One of the boys
A beacon in the night
And when he spoke
People would gather in
They would stay close
He'd make them feel alright
One one precious life
Only a memory tonight
One one precious life
Only a memory to light
The years of tenderness
Make them burn bright
He wasn't scared
He had no fear at all
Said his goodbyes
And marched off to war
As he looked back
He heard his mother call
Said she be waiting
At Heaven's door
Soon to be killed
Left on a muddy field
All of his thoughts
Were scattered just like seed
He never knew
Threw up his arms and reeled
He felt no pain
His heart start to bleed
One one precious life
Only a memory tonight
One one precious life
Only a memory to light
The years of tenderness
Make them burn bright
Only a memory tonight
One one one precious life
Only a memory to light
The years of tenderness
Riders of the night
Are screaming hard above my heels
Princely lord of chaos
Forges black and fiery wheels
And the mother of the earth
Is being widowed in my sight
Father of deception
Using wrong instead of right
And the moon overshadows the sun
And the masters of war carry on
While the fools and the jokers make fun
See them run
Sister of illusion
Bend and follow in their mould
Brother of opinion
Just remember what you're told
Not a weapon in a traitor's hand
Will harm you twice as bad
Forests of indifference
Guaranteed to make you mad
And the moon overshadows the sun
And the masters of war carry on
While the fools and the jokers make fun
See them run
They can't be playing
Turning the upside down
They've got me praying
I'll end up in the ground
When they burn up everything
Kill the air for me to breathe
Still they would be thinking
There was more they could achieve
Then at last they would be beaten
For alone they all would stand
Looking at each other
Just as if it had been planned
And the moon disappears with the sun
And the masters are masters of none
While the fools and the jokers are gone
Now they're one
Oh, how they run
They can't be playing
Turning the inside down
They've got me praying
I'll end up in the ground
And the moon overshadows the sun
And the masters of masters of none
While the fools and the jokers are gone
Nter the sacred heart, what's in your keeping?
Caught on the outward flight, careless and torn apart
It's too late to feel the pain, all your devotion
Forever by your side, now you don't like the game
But I know what you're going through
In your own world
Yes, I know what you're going through
Long days, black nights
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) ooh, black nights
Silence and empty rooms, the lesson that follows
But with no one inside, you broke the precious rules
Left with you own mistakes, collecting the sad one's
Noises of pity now, that's all you make
But I know what you're going through
In your own world
Yes, I know what you're going through
Long days, black nights
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) ooh, black nights
It's too late to worry, now time is on your hands
Who know you say, who know you do, don't understand
Too late! Too late! - Long days!
(Guitar Solo)
Long days, black nights
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) ooh, black nights
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
Ooh, long days (long days) black nights (black nights)
I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different I know
You got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow
Can't fall down never give in
A lucky star could be following you
You got to show a little givin'
Every day when it's possible to
Mama make my grey sky blue
Just keep those wheels turnin'
And keep your love burnin'
If I'm runnin' wild follow me
Maybe we're still learnin'
Sometimes we're still hurtin'
Just like a child comfort me
We grew up by the mountain
Dirty marks in the palm of our hands
We got the eye for accountin'
We got the pain of a family man
Mama help us all you can
Just keep those wheels turnin'
And keep your love burnin'
If I'm runnin' wild follow me
Maybe we're still learnin'
Sometimes we're still hurtin'
Pages were written turn yellow the age of the rhyme
sadly confused by us with the passing of time
oh no I tell you no lie no madman am I
give me another chance and another way
give me another time and another day
give me a part in another play
silken the hand that has touched me and helped me till now
torment replaces the feelings the faces somehow
oh no I tell you no lie no madman am I
give me another chance and another way
give me another time and another day
give me a part in another play
words that are whispered surround me and call to my ear
courage embrace me though tears may forsake me I fear
oh no I tell you no lie no madman am I
give me another chance and another way
give me another time and another day
give me a part in another play
will someone take my place
I'm the prince of dreams but no one knows my face
I've come to rest my mind
help me understand and see what I can find
what's this before me now
what's that behind
it's the prophet of the morning star
he's not so blind
he calls to me so clear
saying very soon sorrow will be here
but before they pull you down
there's just one chance for you to stay around
or else a war to end all wars
sink without a trace
I am the prince of dreams
and you shall know my face
find the light that shines on everyone
someone shines the light for me
look inside yourself to understand
the questions answered now I see
I am your light, I am your light,
By blood we live
Can’t take the weight
Each day we give
Sometimes too late
And so it turns to dust
Thru’ years unknown
And then we lose the trust
The time has flown
I don’t want money
I don’t want fame
I think that I might get lost
I’m in no hurry
I make no claim
The answers won’t come across
I see your face
In my mind’s eye
Look back, no trace
It passed me by
A stranger at my door
A silent prayer
Can’t see you anymore
Too much to bear
I don’t want money
I don’t want fame
I think that I might get lost
I’m in no hurry
I make no claim
The answers won’t come across
While I take shelter
This blinding rain
Is turnin’ everyone cold
This helter skelter
As time remains
She was a fragile girl
A prisoner in a golden cage
But she didn't time it right
She walked out in a blinding rage
She danced in the moonlight
She danced
Before it began
She danced
With no one beside her
She danced
She dreamed of that man
She danced
Just this side of heaven
Shame to be
Just this side of heaven
Get back to reality
Now she doesn't have a choice
She wonders as she goes insane
Says his hands are cold as ice
They come down like the pouring rain
The spell has been broken
She danced
The deed has been done
She danced
From words that were spoken
She danced
She's in need of someone
She danced
Just this side of heaven
Shame to be
Just this side of heaven
Get back to reality
Just this side of heaven
Shame to be
Just this side of heaven
Get back to reality
Just this side of heaven
Shame to be
Just this side of heaven
Get back to reality
Just this side of heaven
Shame to be
Just this side of heaven
You're walking the street
You're in need of someone's sympathy
And someone you meet
Helps to pass the time just perfectly
'Cause she takes you by the hand
Takes you to the promised land
And gives you her love
You're drinking alone
Shadowed by your own uncertainty
But you'd like to be shown
Everything you've never dared to see
Then she takes you by the hand
Takes you to the promised land
And gives you her love
The damage is done
Taking love on the run
You can buy your romance
So you jump at the chance
Yeah, you'll be all right when love comes around
What you going to do on your own
Even wonder should you ever go home
Here come those feelings, can't be right
You think nobody's going to miss you tonight
Mistrusted
Heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice
Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
Yeah, you'll be all right when love comes around
It's going to come 'round, ooh, baby
You say that you've never known
The kind of love that gets down deep in your soul
You're still reeling from the fight
You wouldn't know it if it hit you tonight
Mistrusted
Heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice
Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
Yeah, you'll be all right when love comes around
And I will never know the questions you're asking
I know nothing at all
How can you stand upon the judgement you're passing
When you don't even know the cause
Mistrusted
Heartbroke and busted
So where's the justice
Going to be all right when love comes around
No hurricane wind blowing could slow you down
Yeah, you'll be all right when love comes around
Yeah, you'll be all right
Everybody say
Yeah, you'll be all right
Just for a moment
Get yourself back into time
Did things seem better then?
See what you can find
Those years you treasured
Like a jewel in midnight sky
You can't face tomorrow
And you won't tell me why
I will decide myself
No chains on me
Oh, ain't no chains on me
I will decide myself
I am set free
Once everything we knew
Has disappeared so fast
We used up all the things
We thought would always last
No tears in heaven
That's the story you've been told
It can't last forever
But I don't believe that's so
I will decide myself
No chains on me
Oh, ain't no chains on me
I will decide myself
I am set free
Would you give up everything
Give up everything
Give up everything
Would you give up everything
Give up everything
Give up everything
For just another day?
I will decide myself
No chains on me
Oh, ain't no chains on me
I will decide myself
I am set free
Won't you stand by me now?
I will decide myself
No chains on me
There ain't no chains on me
I will decide myself
I am set free
Stand by me now
I will decide myself
No chains on me
There ain't no chains on me
I will decide myself
There's a reason for everything living
Maybe frightened alone in the night
But there's someone near and forgiving
Who treads softly to turn on the light
There's a reason for everyone's laughter
Like a river it always will flow
But there's something we are all after
When that icy wind's starting to blow
Hush-a-bye baby
Born in this crazy world
Hush-a-bye baby
Falling for every word
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
There's a reason we all get lonely
Like a fool on the edge of a crowd
When that feeling comes sneaking up slowly
And your world has come tumbling down
There's a reason for everyone's laughter
Like a river it always will flow
But there's something we are all after
When that icy wind's starting to blow
Hush-a-bye baby
Born in this crazy world
Hush-a-bye baby
Falling for every word
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby
Born in this crazy world
Hush-a-bye baby
Falling for every word
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby
Born in this crazy world
Hush-a-bye baby
Falling for every word
Hush-a-bye baby, baby, baby
Hush-a-bye baby
There`s no confusion, no talk of losin`
`s one thing I know real well
You got the power
steal every hour
as far as I can tell
This fascination`s an education
I do enjoy the ride
If they could see you right now,
And know where you came from,
Lonely one.
Don't cry now,
Now you're really someone,
Tbat puts lines on your face,
That's outta place.
You really got what you wanted,
You really got where you wanted to be.
Chorus
You can't live this way forever,
Like an island made of sand.
We all need to be together,
Every woman, every man.
You walk a crooked path,
You can't look back and see,
How short your memory.
There you go, Only foolin' yourself,
Soeone's gonna get hurt,
You won't be the first.
You really got what you wated,
You really got where you wanted to be
(chorus)
You'll have to take it on your own,
I never thought I`d feel so helpless
Somethin`s happenin`to me
`cause every night feels like the longest
And every hour`s eternity
`Cause I can`t have you like I wanted to
I got nothin` without you
CHORUS:
So now I dream about you
I got arms around you
Yeah, dream about you
Ain`t nothin` else I can do
I wanna be where you are
No matter near or how far
So now I dream about you
I never thought I`d feel defenceless
Nothin` mattered much to me
The sun goes down and I get restless
All those same old memories
`Cause I can`t have you like I wanted to
I got nothin` without you
CHORUS
I know your touch, your look, your every word
Oh can you hear me baby
I want you back again into my world
There's no disgrace cryin' out loud
Bitter the taste into the crowd
Easy to tell passin' you by
Bids you farewell, no firm reply
Don't get upset
And let it take you away
There's no regret
There's nothin' more you can say
You know the sun will come out shinin'
At the start of every day
Cry to yourself
You've got to trust your dreamer's heart
Nobody else
Will tell you when you fall apart
Please don't applaud, how can you tell
This crown of thorns won't fit you well
Never a word, nothin' to choose
Mildly concerned, just to confuse
Don't get upset
And let it take you away
There's no regret
There's nothin' more you can say
You know the sun will come out shinin'
At the start of every day
So stay awake
You're just a shadow in this world
Then mornin' breaks
And there's no trace where you've been curled
Cry to yourself
You've got to trust your dreamer's heart
Nobody else
Will tell you when you fall apart
So stay awake
You're just a shadow in this world
Then mornin' breaks
No more footsteps I'm alone
From her sad eyes tears are falling
Once again I'm on my own
Through the wind I hear her calling
Many days have come and gone
At the thought of me returning
Will I be the only one
Was the lesson worth the learning
Foolish heart you've let me down
Foolish heart turn me around
Foolish heart don't break in two
Foolish heart where are you
Thinking now it has begun
Time to wind up all the hours
The biggest fools under the sun
Life is just a joke
Dreams go up in smoke
It hasn’t taken too long to descend
This unholy circus will end
Feels like treason to the human race
Sense or reason must be out of place
It’s a nightmare, it runs dark and deep
Goin’ nowhere down a one way street
Thoughts I can’t express
Words mean even less
Nothin’ is sacred & you can depend
This unholy circus will end
Chances taken, we’re just waiting
Contemplating now the beginning of the end
And the history wrapped up in old glory
