Die Texte zu 'Ones and Zeros'
 HERO IN DISGUISE
There's a hero in disguise
Once you've looked into his eyes
There is nothing left to get to know
Feel his senses all awake
Undiluted, set to take
Anything sensation will provide.
She is Rebel Everyday
Conquering with wayward ways
See the current stop
When she says no
Never swimming with the tide
It's the inborn flow inside
That will be the lodestar to the prize.
CHORUS:
Now there's a hero
Who'll say: forgo!
Just ones and zeros
Will leave you on your own
Now there's a hero
Who'll say: forgo!
Just ones and zeros
Will leave you on your own
 As the nightwind softly blows
And the breeze is rising
There is nothing left
To chase tonight
As the nightwind softly blows
And the breeze is rising
There is nothing left
To chase tonight
Soon the moment will arise
Heed the time to set things right
See, taste, smell and listen now
Sense the touch abiding
Feel how nothing's left
To chase tonight
Be the hero in disguise
Listen to the far-off cries
Of this frenzied, crazy puppet show
Take them just for what they are
Distant voices from afar
Overshadowed by a lover's sigh.
CHORUS
 FOLLOW THE EMPRESS
Weaving circles of light
From her eyes burning bright.
With the grace
Of an ancient Egyptian goddess
She walks modestly tall.
The empress.
Well, her name bears her way.
I hope that long she will reign.
True style,
But at the same time
So careless!
She's a reason to fall.
And here she comes now...
CHORUS:
You've got to follow, you've got to follow, you've got to follow -
The empress.
Cause she knows, yes she knows, yes she knows -
The answers.
My empress. My empress. The empress.
 With a wave of her hand
All are at her command,
Just one wink of her eye
Could cause people to die
To die!
But she knows it,
And she shows it,
But refuses
To misuse this, oh yes.
And here she comes now...
CHORUS
SOLO
CHORUS REPEAT
THE RED DOOR / PAINT IT BLACK
Leider können wir den Text zu "Paint It Black" hier aus Copyright-Gründen nicht veröffentlichen, aber wahrscheinlich kennt Ihr ihn eh auswendig. Und zu "The Red Door": Dieses kleine Intro hat keinen Text!
 FIRE (I WANNA GO)
Dying -
Fingertips on plastic in the night
A flicker of the screen
My only light
Life black and white...
Still I'm bound to carry on
As I'm set upon these rails
And the only way is down
What I long for I don't know
I wanna go - I wanna go see fire
I wanna go - I wanna go see fire
I wanna go see fire...
 Lying -
Lying halfway conscious
In the shade
Your gaze won't meet my eyes
It's on display
Still you're bound to carry on
As you're set upon these rails
It's the only life you know
While we should be free to roam
I wanna go - I wanna go see fire
I wanna go - I wanna go see fire
I wanna go see fire...
SOLO
I wanna go - I wanna go see fire
I wanna go - I wanna go see fire
I wanna go see fire...
 BACK TO THE CITY
Back to the city
back to the world
Back from the clearing
With notes yet unheard
Back to the city
Back to the world
Back from the green world
With all that we've learned
Welcome
To our own world of wonder
Where nothing that meets the eye
Is quite what it seems
While all the millionfold words
That drip from my mouth
Will conjure up a world of sweet, sweet promise.
Now I am back in the city
Now I am back in the city again
Tides have turned
Tides have turned
Back to the city - back to the world
Back for a reason - rights to be earned
Burning the fears when darkness returns
Burning the fears in the night
Burning the fears when darkness returns
Burning the fears, yours and mine
 Still we're left
In this world of wonder
As the city heaves and goes by
But now it bows down to me
And to my will
Back to the city
Yeah - back to the city
Back to the city, the city again
Back to the city, back to the city
Back to the city again
To the world - to the world
Back to the city world, Back to the city world
Back to the city again
To the world - back again
HERE I AM!
Die Texte zu 'Forth'
 THE WORLD IS MINE
Am I on the right side?
Is there reason to fight?
Is it really enough to be satisfied?
Should we just stowaway?
Abandon ship rightaway?
Should we take arms or hold out
Till the day we die?
It is time for a change!
Change, not just rearrange!
All I need to take charge is a reason why!
Why it‘s not just a waste,
Waste to banish the haste
While its echoes still ring in our battlecry.
BRIDGE:
I submit to the thunder I can‘t deny
When my mind sheds a tear. Feel!
Face the lightning that strikes
With my true delight
As the fog disappears. Feel!
Feel the force when I shout
When I voice it aloud
Taking leave from restraint with a last goodbye
Cut the cords of straight lines
Singing all of our lives
Into sleep with their dull lullaby
BRIDGE
 CHORUS:
And the world is mine
As I let it shine
And the world, and the world
And the world is mine
And the world, and the world
And the world is mine!
Let the wind blow my sail
Feel the strength of the gale
Push me forth to a realm we still have to find
Find in spite of the fear
When we cross the frontier
Like a bold musketeer
Caught near enemy lines
I submit to the thunder I can‘t deny
When my mind sheds a tear. Feel!
Face the lightning that strikes
With my true delight
As the fog disappears. Feel!
And the world is mine
As I let it shine
And the world, and the world
And the world is mine
And the world, and the world
And the world is mine!
Some heavy chain- It still remains
Sometimes it shines like gold
But all it ever brings is pain
It drags you down, a weight like lead
So full of promise, But real hunger stays unfed
So you feel you need some absolution
From the thoughts you never knew you had
As your mind cries out for retribution
Victim of a war you never led
Don‘t give up your soul to desolution
Just seek out your kin and kind instead
Show the world a real revolution
Feel the real bonds and you will storm ahead.
And the world is mine
As you let it shine
And the world, and the world
And the world is mine
And the world, and the world
And the world is MINE!
 DRAW THE LINE
So you're standing in the rain
All you do seems quite insane
Running through a
Standoff street, yeah
Where no real end is
Gonna meet, yeah
All that you once believed
In seconds seems to go by
And all that's left for you
Is nothing but to do
Draw the line
Draw the line
Draw the line
Draw the line
Draw!
Once you seemed to
Trip so sure
Never failed at
What you'd do
Well, I've got news for
You my friend
You got it wrong now!
Here's the end, yeah!
All that you once believed
In seconds seems to go by
And all that's left for you
Is nothing but to do draw the line
Draw the line, draw the line
Draw the line – Oooooooooh
How long can you bear the weight
Not being able to think straight
Draw the line and break on through
And glimpse the hard road to the truth
 IN YOUR HANDS
We did it all
In some forgotten dream
And we were oh so satisfied
In the remains of
Our words
Lies the proof of love
More than enough, so:
Let us try
I feel the pain
As I look straight into your face
But all the tears will ever do,
Is drag you ever deeper and deeper
And deeper askew.
I feel the same
And as I gaze I see a trace
Of all the things we used to do
That drag me ever deeper and deeper
And deeper to you
I don‘t believe that we‘re cold
We‘ll have it all, my love
We‘ll get it all, not just get by
No, we will go forth
Further than we
Ever went before
Surpass ourselves solidified.
I see you smile
And I look straight into your face
And what I see are all the
Years we had and
All the years to come.
I see you smile
And I look straight into your face
And what I see are all the
Years we had and
All the years to come.
We‘ll give it all we‘ve got inside
Now it‘s do or die
We‘ll take it all right in our stride.
We‘ll walk the roads we never tried
Allys unified
By the rekindling of our fire
A-ha, a-haha.
I see you smile
And I look straight into your face
And what I see are all the
Years we had and
All the years to come.
I see you smile
And I look straight into your face
And what I see are all the
Years we had and
All the years to come...
And so it ends - I‘m in your hands...
 PRIDE OF CREATION
Call 'em paki
Call 'em jew
Call 'em nigger
Or call 'em ginger, too
Call 'em faggot
Call 'em slut
Kill 'em with a name
And leave their bones to rot
Pride of creation,
You call these names
Now, who are you?
You're a straight white male
Now, here's the reason it's always the same:
For everyone there's another one
And the other one's to blame
(Now, who's to blame now?)
Now,
Don't you see these others are a lot like you?
Now don't you see that they are human too?
Now don't you know an animal can also feel
Now don't you dare to tell the world to heel.
Pride of creation,
You are so vain!
Now, who are you?
You're a straight white male
Now, here's the reason it's always the same:
For everyone there's another one
And the other one's to blame
 IN THE MO(VE)MENT
Unsung quatrains,
Insane - Quiet again.
More of the same's
Left you desparate to see,
Tame and in need
Of riding the storm cloud again.
Again, again.
Now!
Let me stay upon it - Let me stay!
Let me stay upon it - Let me stay!
Get into the line of fire
In the movement you'll arrive
In the momet set alight
You're alive - for some time
You're alive - for some time
For some time.
Untrod bridges
Promise riches again
Again, again.
Walk and inhale and then pause for the view
Unblocked and new
All in perspective again
Now!
Let me stay upon it - Let me stay!
Let me stay upon it - Let me stay!
Stay right in the line of fire
In the movement you'll arrive
In the momet set alight
You're alive - for some time
You're alive - for some time
For some time.
 THE ROPE
The voice of madness:
Gentle fibre, friend of mine.
Only way out, it is time!
You‘re here with me -
Soon you‘ll make me feel I‘m free.
Hold tight. Don‘t let me down.
Loophole, come, be around.
Just you and me -
Soon you‘ll make me feel I‘m free.
The voice of sanity:
That a rope can really seem a friend and kind
Is such a twisted thought you must be blind
For someone who has watched a loved one die
To seek this fate is cruel, vile and wry
The voice of madness:
Slightly taken aback
By how kindly you touch my neck
But I‘m here with you
Soon you‘ll make me feel I‘m through
The voice of sanity:
That a rope can really seem a friend and kind
Is such a twisted thought you must be blind
For someone who has watched a loved one die
To seek this fate is cruel, vile and wry
Dance macabre
 MAD WOMAN IN THE ATTIC
Mad woman in the attic
Longing to be free
This door you fear is so thick,
But guess who has the key.
Mad woman in the attic
I know how you feel.
The tongues that talk to you are slick.
Life's just an ordeal.
Strong-minded, very passionate,
Strong-minded, very passionate,
Life's left you scars - Life's left you scars
Life's left you scars - Life's left you scars
And no brilliant stars.
Mad woman
With your back to life
Mad woman
Yet you will survive.
Nanni C. Helmstedt, 24.09.2009
 OVERLOAD
As far as I can see
Into the darkest corner of your mind
There is no reason for your deed
And for the mask you hide behind
You're just a childish brat
That mummy once forgot to hold
And now you think you've got the right
To do what you have done
And switch to overload
I don't believe that all humanity
Has really let you down
Cause what you're thinking
Of yourself it seems
To really have no bounds
I know the world we've bulit
Is making cruelty seem cool
But in the end there's just one man to blame
The man you'll never be
That's you
A boy whose tears were made to hide
A heart that never reached the boy
A boy that's never learnt to cry
A boy whose heart was made to hide
His heart was made to hide.../
It never reached the boy...
You're just a childish brat
That mummy once forgot to hold
And now you think you've got the right
To do what you have done and switch to overload
I know the world we've bulit
Is making cruelty seem cool
But in the end there's just one man to blame
The man you'll never be
That's you
Yeah you
Yeah you
Yeah you
 HOLY WATER
Well, you know that a feeling
Is all that it takes
And the fever of love
As your heart reawakes
(Come on, now)
And you know that a feeling
Is all that you need
To be moving
And be ready to proceed, so...
Can you, can you,
Can you believe
That it‘s for real?
(I said)
Can you, can you,
Can you believe
The feeling‘s here?
And you know what a feeling
Can do with a spark
And you find you‘re believing
That you can make your mark
(Come on now)
And you find yourself feeling
That all that you have
Is a love for your world
So try to hold on fast - oh
Can you, can you,
Can you believe that it‘s for real?
(I said)
Can you, can you,
Can you believe the feeling‘s here?
Still you‘re drinking holy water
And you know that it‘s for real
Still you‘re drinking holy water
And you know you‘re past ordeal
Oh yeah - You‘re gonna make it
Make it real. So real!
Can you, can you,
Can you believe that it‘s for real?
Can you, can you,
Can you believe the feeling‘s here?
Still you‘re drinking holy water
And you know that it‘s for real
Still you‘re drinking holy water
And you know you‘re past ordeal
Can you, can you,
Can you believe that it‘s for real?
(I said)
Can you, can you,
Can you believe the feeling‘s here...
 FOREVER AND A DAY
Now you see it, now you don‘t
Love‘s a thing hard to behold.
Once a young lady
Was lead to believe
That she should hold hers all too tight
She was to test it and try her dear love
If he would be true all the while
All the while, all the while,
All the while, all the while
Had him lead into a room
Filled with smell of sweet perfume
There she would meet him,
Disguised in a gown
Of a beauty who played the bandore
But though he adored her,
Her love still declared
Declared to be true evermore
Evermore, evermore,
Evermore, evermore.
“Just to be sure“, she said,
“Just one more try.
I‘ll never doubt him
If he passes this time.
I‘ll make him believe I must go for a while
And if he stays mine
We will walk down the aisle.
It‘s only then I will give him my hand
If now he remains, he‘ll remain
Till the end, till the end
Till the end, till the end“
For a year she disappeared
He became a cuirassier
But all the while that he fought for his lord
He only had thoughts for his bride
So when she returned she was sure to be his,
Together for all of the time,
All the time, all the time,
All the time, all the time.
“Just to be sure“, she said,
“Just one more try.
I‘ll never doubt him
If he passes this time.
I shall pretend to be passing away
And let him forswear love till his
Dying day.“
So by Christmas Eve
He was sure she‘d leave
Her last words she‘d said
Ringing in his head:
“Don‘t forsake me now!“
So he took a vow:
Swore he‘d be glad
Just to be hers
Forever and a day
Swore he‘d be glad
Just to be hers
Forever and a day - Forever and a day.
Forever and a day - Forever and a DAY!
“Just to be sure“, he said,
Deeming her gone
“I‘ll end it right now
For I can‘t carry on.“
He took out a phile,
Said, “And thus I thee wed“,
He drank it all up
And then she...
Found him dead.
 YOU‘RE WAGING A WAR
Conformist
Your language is fascist
Dishonest
Enforcing your farce is
All you ever do
You‘re waging a war
You‘re vicious,
And over-ambitious
Mischievous
With all of your surplus
Anything you do
Is wage your own war!
You‘re scheming
Without any feeling
You‘re leading
Though you don‘t believe in
Anything you say
You‘re waging a war!
You‘re waging a war...
No conscience
And dead to your own sense
So righteous
While your nasty bite shows
All you‘re destined to be - Is waging a war.
Your madness
Begot our sadness
Your fad is
Our destitute path with
Nothing left to do - But answer your war.
I won‘t believe your lies no more
You won‘t decieve me.
All that you claimed that you foresaw
Will not decieve me!
No, no! We will not be deceived!
You‘re scheming
Without any feeling
You‘re leading
Though you don‘t believe in
Anything you say - You‘re waging a war!
You‘re waging a war...
And now you‘re standing there
In your gowns made of cashmere and silk
With your arms outstretched
While others raise up theirs, bare, to the sky,
And you‘re waiting for them to settle your bill?
You say you deserved what you piled up
During years and years of unhindered looting,
And now you‘re the victim of a witchhunt?
Well, I know what you deserve.
And I know exactly who you are
And what you‘re doing!
You‘re waging a war...
Die Texte zu 'Back'
 THE MOVER
I’m goin’ down
I’m leavin’ town,
Pack up my belongings again.
A feeling so restless
Is leaving me breathless
I’m travelling on now my friend.
Cause I can’t stay
anywhere long
I’ve got to move it on.
No, I can’t stay
anywhere long
I’ve got to move it on,
move it on
I’m the mover,
gypsy in my blood
I don’t know
where I belong
I’m the mover,
gypsy in my blood
I don’t know
where I’m comin’ from
Oh yeah.
Listen!
My feelings get higher
I feel my own fire
Now that I’m back on the run
Like a running river
I’m staring to shiver
I’m on my way to the sun
Cause I can’t stay anywhere long
I’ve got to move it on.
No, I can’t stay anywhere long
I’ve got to move it on, move it on
I’m the mover, gypsy in my blood
I don’t know where I belong
I’m the mover, gypsy in my blood
I don’t know where I’m comin’ from
Oh yeah, oh yeah.
Solo
I’m the mover, gypsy in my blood
I don’t know where I belong
I’m the mover, gypsy in my blood
I don’t know where I’m comin’ from
FREE
As long as you were around
I always saw my way
As long as you were around
The night was bright as day
All time you were around I also was to stay
But that was bound to change I wouldn’t find my way
Nothing I could do, nothing I could do without you
I had to live on my own
I had to see all alone
I had to stop your hold on me
Until I was free, yeah free
As long as you kept my mind
I could’nt think to clear
As long as you kept my mind
All silence was a fear
All time you kept my mind just your voice I would hear
But that was bound to change I wouldn’t shed a tear
Anything I’d do, anything I’d do without you
I had to see all alone
I had to live all on my own
I had to stop your hold on me
Until I was free, yeah free
Free, free on my own
Free, free, free all alone
Free with all I do
Oh yeah, free without you
And as soon as I settled down
I got so self-assured
Yeah, now that I’ve settled down
I finally think I’m cured
Yeah, now that I’ve settled down
I am much more ,
More mature, more mature, yeah-yeah
And do you know what?
Now I’m free, I am free, yes I’m free...
LONG GONE BY
Thirteenth century
Way back in time
A girl whose name is forgotten
Was buried alive.
She wanted to help them
With the knowledge she had
But she was a witch in their eyes
She had powers they feared.
(Fear...)
Long gone by, long gone by
Why are you telling me this
Today it’s meaningles
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
Cause still the people at hand
Kill what they don’t understand
Tell me people what is the difference
Between then and now?
What was called inquisition
Is now named order and law.
It’s always those who are in power
Who fear their fall
And this fear closes their eyes and
They don’t listen at all.
Long gone by, long gone by
Oh yes, so much is true
But there’s a message for you.
Long gone by, long gone by
Yes, so much is true
But there’s a message for you.
So listen closely
To history’s voice
Listen closely
And make your own choice
Is it really boring
Or just fantasy
Open your eyes up
And make them see
Long gone by, long gone by
Oh yes, so much is true
But there’s a message for you.
Long gone by, long gone by
Oh yes, so much is true
But there’s a message - So listen!
Solo
Long gone by, long gone by
Oh yes, so much is true
But there’s a message for you.
Long gone by – long gone by...
There’s a message for you...
SOUTHBOUND
Well, I’ve been driving all night and I can’t find my way home
Said, I’ve been driving all night and I can’t find my way home
Well, don’t you think that sometimes the road is your goal
And I keep on rollin’
Keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel
Said, keep your eyes on the road and your hands upon the wheel
Sometimes I think that Morrison wrote that for me
Don’t you think that sometimes the road can be your goal
I said, Don’t you think that sometimes the road is your goal
Well for me it is, and that is all I know
And I keep on rollin’
CHORUS:
Southbound, rollin’ on
Southbound, rollin’ on
Southbound, rollin’ on
The road will be my home
CHORUS
Well, I’ve been driving all night and I can’t find my way home, yeah-hey
Said, I’ve been driving all night and I can’t find my way home
Well, I don’t care because I just love to roll
What has become of the things that I left behind
I asked you what has become of the things that I left behind
Well I don’t know, and I sure don’t mind
And I keep on rollin’
CHORUS
JUST A FEW HOURS
Ah, you know, I went to that party
On a Friday night
I had a few drinks there, but
You could say, I could still walk right
I met a lot of old friends there and
My spirit was high
And then, and then she walks up
And looks me straight in the eye.
And this is the part where I just went thinking
Oh, oh, oh, oh my – yeah, oh my.
Had seen her before and thought she looked sweet
The kind of a girl I always wanted to meet
And when we spent that evening together
And I got to know her I liked her even better
And after the party she came back to my place
With a few of my friends and we had
Just a few hours
She’s going back to London on Sunday, yeah-yeah
Just a few hours
I wish there was a way she could stay
Just a few hours
I wouldn’t see her for quite a while
Just a few hours
Baby – Gimme just a little more time
She took a taxi home that Friday night
Just her on my mind and I couldn’t sleep right
Hadn’t had the courage to ask her out tomorrow
But I was sure to happy to drown myself in sorrow
I’ll see her again I said to myself
So I won’t waste time as if I’m waiting on a
Shelf
Just a few hours
She’s going back to London on Sunday, yeah-yeah
Just a few hours
I wish there was a way she could stay
Just a few hours
I wouldn’t see her for quite a while
Just a few hours
Baby – I wish we had a little more time
Ow, gimme some time
SOLO
So that Saturday night I was out with some friends
Having some fun would make the hours easier to spend
Thought about leaving but then the music got alright – alright
And then I see her dancing down in the spotlight
(Imagine my surprise)
And so we had one more evening of intensive talking
And excessive dancing, yes, we had
Just a few hours
She’s going back tomorrow, oh-oh
Just a few hours
I wish she wouldn’t have to go, oh-oh
Just a few hours
The weeks without her would be tough
Just a few hours
But there was sure enough time, time, time
To fall in love
WALK AWAY
The briars burned, the damage done
He knows there’s more than one thing wrong
Some ties undone he sits in tears
Feels synaesthetic fears
Searching for sources and poisoned drops
He looks at seeds as well as crops
Sees good intentions twist and turn
And cosmic union cut by word
Yeah, cut by word
But was it really
When we started to talk
Was it really
When we started to walk away, walk away
Walk away, Walk away,
Hey-hey
The bud of evil’s treacherous scent
Intoxicating sense by sense
Yeah sense by sense
Heirs of Narcissus we turned blind
But is he really of a different kind
A different kind
I feel he’s fighting fire with fire
Yet I dare not call him a liar
CHORUS
MAGIC LAND
High upon a hill on a clearing
Down in the woods that you’re dreaming
There lies and old book by the wizard
Who died at the hand of a blizzard
Encarved in the book is a snake
Ranking around a black gate
Open the book and you’ll find
A journey into your mind
You’re in magic land
Come on take my hand
Yeah, take the magic potion
And dive into the ocean
Of the world caused by your dreams
When the flames get higher
And you feel the fire
There is nothing quite as it seems
Come on take my hand
(come on take my hand)
Come to magic land
(come to magic land)
Yeah, come on take the magic potion
High upon the hill of desire
Look at the great sea of fire
It stretches beyond our meaning
And only gives signs when it’s gleaming
If you carefully look
You’ll find that nature’s the book
And that’s all you’ll find
On the journey into your mind
You’re in magic land
Come on take my hand
Yeah, take the magic potion
And dive into the ocean
Of the world caused by your dreams
When the flames get higher
And you feel the fire
There is nothing quite as it seems
Come on take my hand (come on take my hand)
Come to magic land (come to magic land)
Yeah, come on dive into the ocean
Come on and dive now
SOLO
Come on take my hand
Come to magic land
Yeah, come on take the magic potion
Yeah, take the magic potion
And dive into the ocean
Of the world caused by your dreams
When the flames get higher
And you feel the fire
There is nothing quite as it seems
Come on take my hand (come on take my hand)
Come to magic land (come to magic land)
Yeah, come on dive into the ocean
I’LL GO MY OWN WAY
I was standing at the crossroads
And I chose the harder way
Yeah, I was standing at the crossroads
And I chose the harder way
But the more I keep on walking
The stronger I get day by day
Yeah the more I keep on walking
The stronger I get day by day
CHORUS:
I will find a way to make my move
I got a lot to prove
I will find a way to make my move
I got a lot to prove
I'll Go My Own Way,
I'll Go My Own Way,
I'll Go My Own Way
I'll Go My Own Way,
I'll Go My Own Way,
I'll Go My Own Way
When I fall and I stumble
All I got to do is think of your face, yes
It makes me strong enough to get up
To get back on the road again
CHORUS
Standing at the crossroads trying to find-a-way
Yeah I was standing at the crossroads trying to find-a-way
Trying to reach for the sun trying to keep it on
Yeah I was trying to reach for the sun trying to keep it on
Come on, come on
Keep on,
Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on
Solo
Keep on, keep on, Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on, Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on, Keep on, keep on
Keep on, keep on, Keep on, keep on
TRIP TO HEAVEN
Come on, we’ll take a trip to heaven,
Come on, we’ll leave it all behind
We’ll pass the sun at half past seven
And make the old days seem like wasted time
It was alright,
But I’ve found out
It was alright,
But I know
That there’s no use in drowning in your troubles
Just lift your face and start to free your soul
Just lift your face and start to free your soul
Have you ever thought of the feeling
We’d get when shooting for the stars
Come on, and stop being afraid now
It’s worth it, and it won’t be far
Cause it’s alright,
And I’ve found out
Yeah, it’s alright,
And I know
That there’s no use in drowning in your troubles
Just lift your face and start to free your soul
Just lift your face and start to free your soul
Solo
Well it’s alright,
And I’ve found out
Yeah, it’s alright,
And I know
That there’s no use in drowning in your troubles
Just lift your face and start to free your soul
Just lift your face and start to free your soul
Come on, come on, and take a trip to heaven
Come on, come on, let’s leave it all behind
Come on, come on, and take that trip to heaven
Come on, come on, we’ll make the old days seem like wasted time
Come on, come on,
I said, come on, come on,
Come on, come on, yeah
Come on, come on.
TILL THE END OF TIME
I guess I’ve always been a dreamer
And I guess that forever I’ll stay
I think you know that I can feel you’re
Dreaming too in your childlike way
Darling, you’ve got your ways
And I girl I’ve got mine
But shouldn’t we lay our ways side by side now
For some time
For some time, for some time, yeah, for some
That we’d walk our way as one.
I guess we could learn a lot from each other
And help each other to find
The right track we’d follow as friends and as lovers
Yeah, we will never be blind
Darling, I would guide you
And, girl, you would guide me
We’d be each others light in the darkness
That’s what we’ll be
That’s what we’ll be, that’s what we’ll be, that’s what we’ll be
We’d feel our way as one.
And how long that time
Will last is in our hands...
(ah-ah-ah)
But if you ask me darling
We’ll walk forever
Side by side, side by side, side by side
As lovin’ friends
(ah-ah-ah)
Darling you’ll go your way-hey
Yeah-hey-hey.
Cause, darling you’ll go your way
And I will follow mine
But our tracks are layed down side by side
And that’ll remain
Till the end of time
Yes, our tracks are layed down side by side
And that’ll remain
Till the end of time
THE HEAT IS ON
The vulture’s learnt to fly again
Ist crokked wings once more to spin
All creatures feeling safe and warm
Must realize the heat is on
CHORUS:
The heat is on – heat is on
The heat is on – heat is on
The heat is on – heat is on
The heat is on – heat is on
The heat is on – heat is on
The heat is on – heat is on
The heat is on – heat is on
The heat is on – heat is ooooooon
On, on, on – yeah
The warmth was of a dryer kind
A sunny desert you would find
Where nothing grew but germs of scorn
The vulture’s taken for ist corn
CHORUS
Solo
Come on – come on – come on – come on
Come on – come on – come on – come on
So turn your inner fire to rain
Of hot tears watering the land
A fertile pour and from now on
Another kind of heat goes on
CHORUS
Oh-oh-oh-on yeah
ROLL THE DICE
Such a sweet sensatio n
Something you forgot?
Where's it's destination?
Hey, why won't it stop?
CHORUS:
Feel the fever rise
Come on, roll the dice
Why should you think twice?
Come on, roll the dice.
Some imagination
Of the one you ant
Mental simulation
Of the real thing but..
CHORUS
Come on, uh
Awake, all alone
A thriving yearning
You wait - for the touch
That holds you burning
No way – to get near
The longing’s hurting
But think – start to dream
The tide is turning
Feel the fever, fever rise,
come and roll the dice
CHORUS
Take some time and listen
To the inner song
Searching, finding, getting closer
Waves are comin’ on
Comeplete feeling, either side
Just think of your smile
Why should you want to think twice?
Come and roll the dice?
CHORUS
THE SHOW IS OVER
Tonight we turned our inside out for you
Climbing on the stage and playing songs
We really had a good time and we hope that you
Enjoyed the things that for you we have done
The show is over
And you’re leaving for home
But you’re not alone
Let the music never leave your way
Be there times of hard or be there rainy days
Let it be your guiding light on every day
And your companion in the pour
Cause it can help you when your mind is grey
To cheer you up and make you oh so self-assured
The show is over and you’re leaving for home
But you’re not alone
And don’t you ever forget where you come from
Let the music guide you back where you belong
Where you belong
The show is over
The show is done
The show is over
The show is done
Die Texte zu 'Pomp'
 OPEN UP
So here we are
With all we wanted:
We are the seeds
And not the crops,
We are the hunters
Not the hunted,
And we are marching
Nnever to be stopped.
Open up. Open up. Open up.
Just take a look now
At all the splendour
Our Midas touch
Has overtopped.
So, won't you give up
And surrender?
Come join our done up misty mountain hop.
Open up. Open up. Open up!
We've been waiting for so long, now our days of gold have come.
So, please don't refuse the score. Hear the call and - open up!
Open up. Open up. Open up!
We've been waiting for so long – open up.
Now our days of gold have come – open up.
So, please don't refuse the score – open up.
Hear the call and - open up, open up!
We've been waiting for so long – open up....
BEDEVERE'S WAKE
 Sunrise - daylight
The new year has come.
And yet – there's no way
I dare to run.
My trail is grief
My course is mourning,
The wake I follow's marked by bones of the dead.
I'll take my leave
But what is calling?
Will this be haunting me wherever I tread?
The driving rain
This hapless season,
And all the soldiers butchered on these white sands.
I've seen the pain
I've seen the treason.
I've seen the slaves of dark with blood on their hands.
But as I look out to the west,
The evil's overrun.
The darkness fades at Lyonnesse,
A nd I turn to face the sun.
So I - take heart – I will proceed
Although these gentle - rays of light - cannot erase - what I have seen
My fallen friends, my failing brother, my fading king who by his own son was slain.
The wounds won't mend, they won't recover. I've heard the cries that tore their lifelines in twain.
But as I look out to the west, the evil's overrun.
The darkness fades at Lyonnesse, and I turn to face the sun.
The sun, the sun, the sun.
So when the shadows hide, and walk into the never,
The sea lies open wide as peril stays forever out of sight (sight - sight - sight).
While I'll see the harvest of time (time - time - timt).
While I will be facing the light (light - light).
The head of my order is gone (gone - gone - gone)
But my wake has only begun.
And so I rise while I still wonder what good may come of our sacrifice.
I take my leave - I will go on, though - I won't forget this dismal patricide.
But as I look out to the west, the evil's overrun.
The darkness fades at Lyonnesse, and I turn to face the sun!
 ON THE BORDER
Sir Jeremy and Lady Chance shared a secret yearning
Unsettled between gait and dance it would be returning.
Yet, unstable, tète-a-tète, both lived on and wavered,
Waiting for the hand of fate, and thus forever stayed there
On the border - On the borderline
On the border - On the border
To the land of common dreams and restrained desire.
There lay hope, or so it seemed, as their life expired:
"Well," they'd say, "one day, maybe", getting on and older.
The hand of fate was never seen, and so they had to smoulder
On the border - On the borderline
On the border - On the borderline.
All of the time – the Evening Star a candle.
All of the time – the taxman playing Grendel.
All of the time – fancy disassembled.
All of the time – lotus-eaters standing
On the border - On the borderline
On the border - On the border
To the land of could-have-been, on the safe side, granted.
But never could they act the scenes for which they were intended.
So the couple, in their time, was never quite admired.
Living on the borderline and burning in the fire.
 TURN THE WHEEL
Lost in turmoil, in a gale
Raking down the buds of trust that seemed so frail
In the hailstorm - Of my craze
And the apathy of our fallow days.
And so it seemed we’d lost the road allowing both of us to grow
CHORUS
Grow together – Go all out and
Turn the wheel, my love
Let us go back- To the place we knew, yeah
Back where we belong
Knowing your ways – Finding mine
No longer does there seem to be cause to repine
My eyes open, and I find
The tracks we’ll take still lying side by side
So we’ll go looking for the road allowing both of us to grow
CHORUS
Now that I hear ourselves saying the words that we both want to hear - oh
Without the other one asking for it, There’s no need for fear - oh
Yeah, we will grow forever, go all out and - Turn the wheel my love
We will go back- To the place we knew, yeah, back where we belong
Turn the wheel, turn the wheel, turn the wheel
 THE CLIMB
When you're standing there – in vales of Stygian gloom,
Shrouded in the stifling air – of skies without a moon,
And though your will is low – and perilous your way
Remember all you know – abide and don't belay:
Out for the fell bedewed
With the divine,
There's just one thing to do -
To get on with the climb!
Get on with the climb – on with the climb!
And in the veils of daze – amidst the shades of grey,
Waver on right through the haze – of midmost disarray.
Out for the fell bedewed with the divine,
There's just one thing to do - to get on with the climb!
Get on with the climb – on with the climb!
On with the climb - On with the climb – On with the climb!
So step by step you take – crossing all the briars,
And you will feel no aches – and you will never tire.
There will be no defeat – persistence conquers all.
The grass beneath your feet will protect you should you fall.
So you can get up again – just keep on thinking:
"Well, I must get up again – I'll keep on thinking:
'On with – the climb! On with – the climb!'"
Yeah, come and get up again – just keep on thinking:
"On with – the climb! On with – the climb!"
On with the climb...
 THE LOST
I am a hero – I'm a child
Left dying in the dust
Right in the open fields of war
Where no ones counts the cost – I was lost.
You are a hero – child of Eve
And you have suffered more
Than all the ones who fired the guns
Ne'er to regain the trust – you then lost.
Yet while we move on down
We march on patiently
For our fate remains
Their conscience' only sting, yeah sting.
I am the one – you are the one – unyielding.
We're the truth that will accost
The Evil one, the Holy one – they are just one – believe me
I know a truth that has been lost.
We're the lost, the lost, the lost, the lost.
Yet while we move on down
We march on patiently
For our fate remains
Their conscience' only sting, yeah sting.
If we believe in someone
Bound to this world
We will remain forever
The one's who're lost, the lost, the lost, the lost
 CARPE NOCTEM
And so the fever's rising
Just as the restless sun goes down again
Yeah goes down again.
And with it fears are fading
And our desire's taking toll – oh my soul
The whole world is this chamber
And all time we remember's now, my friend
Look around and then
All what we used to cling to,
These petty lives just fade away – with the last day.
And with the shades arriving
Still our fever's rising – high, high.
CHORUS:
All too soon the dawn will come on breaking
The larks already wake up on the heights
So seize the night, come seize the night
Seize the night while it is still alive.
Come marvel at this wonder - How what was once asunder
Now unites, mounting different heights, And while we soothe each other
We are still shrouded in the night, night.
CHORUS
 A MESSIAH MARKING TIME
And so I thought
I'd get things done.
Pick up a thread
That I had once begun
To spin and twist
Into the yarn
Of my own dreams
That kept me calm
I held it dear
Right in my palm.
But when I tried
To pull the strings
What I had done
Just seemed
To get nowhere.
I couldn't seem
To spin it out
And so I sit here plagued by doubt
Just waiting for a turnaround.
CHORUS:
Yes, I'm a saviour – who's wasting away, I'm a messiah – marking time.
I'm a redeemer who's got caught up today -Still believing in the light,
Believe in the light – believe in the light.
Believe in the light – believe in the light.
Trapped inside this endless maze, I'm paralysed, and with a lowered gaze.
I start to walk – without a hope - of getting somewhere on these slopes
But maybe this song is just a joke.
CHORUS
Ah-ah-ah-ah - ah-ah-ah-ah. Ah-ah-ah-ah - ah-ah-ah-ah.
Tossing and turning – I feel myself burning. Tossing and turning – I feel myself burning.
Tossing and turning, I feel myself burning, my whole life is caught up right here in this yearning.
Restraint and cessation – discontinuation. Restraint and cessation – discontinuation.
Restraint and cessation – discontinuation, arrest and withdrawal to pure resignation.
Ah-ah-ah-ah - ah-ah-ah-ah. Ah-ah-ah-ah - ah-ah-ah-ah.
Many a talent – yet no sleight of hand. Many a talent – yet no sleight of hand.
Many a talent – yet no sleight of hand. I feel that I'm chosen to count grains of sand.
CHORUS
 SHINE ON
(A Different Kind of Sun)
Do you still live in your dream world
With its different kind of sun?
Craving for the kind of water
That will make your spirit run?
Do you still see through those pale eyes
That will make all things seem wan?
Do you still walk in the shadow?
Does that faint light still shine on?
Is it shining on? Shining on? Shining on?
Shine on!
Every once in a while there's an angel tied to demons.
Every once in a while there's a curse within disguise.
Every once in a while there is poison in a shining drop of dew.
Do you still hide in the forest that will never cast a shade?
Follow every kind of river that can't wear one edge away?
Don't you realise your search is like a quest for Avalon?
Do you still walk in the shadow? Does that faint light still shine on?
Is it shining on? Shining on? Shining on? Shine on!
Every once in a while there's an angel tied to demons.
Every once in a while there's a curse within disguise.
Every once in a while there is poison in a shining drop of dew.
Do you still tread on that dark soil that won't lead you anywhere?
Dive into bisected oceans that will drown you with despair?
Did you once bemoan your riches all too easily forgone?
Will you still walk in the shadow? Will that faint light still shine on?
Is it shining on? Shining on? Shining on? Shine on!
 CARE AND LUST
Watch the rain that falls
As your mind recalls
The unyielding pain
When he went away.
Penance for your sins?
Still the serpent wins.
Take the freedom train
Ride it once again
Though you feel what severs – This remains forever:
Who you'll be
Is where you'll go
And where you stand
Is who you are.
So, come trust
In me, my love.
Care and lust – are both calling to set you free.
Both sides of the coin – make you want you join.
This is why you try – after all this time.
Though you feel what severs – this remains forever:
Who you'll be is where you'll go
And where you stand is who you are
So, come trust in me, my love.
Care and lust – are both calling to set you free.
Set you free, set you free, set you free
It will come and set you free just wait and see.
 NOTHING TO HIDE
Hey – well, I don't know
Where I've been.
I finally realise
The kind of state I'm in.
I will see
I'm gonna trust in me.
I've come to realise
All the things I need
And the flames are rising
High again,
And I'm walking
Sown the road
That I never thought
I'd be taking yet again
I will let my fervour show.
CHORUS:
What I believe in is just what I feel and it's right
Pleasure or suffering, I'm taking it all right inside
Reason, desire, my soul, come on here, cast some light!
Taste my release as there's finally nothing to hide!
To hide - to hide.
Dark – yes I admit, it was dark. But now it all seems bright, and I know my part.
I am blessed, and I know I'm adored. And I will dare to say, "I deserve still more!"
And the veils, they started falling down,
After time spent in the shade
Yes, I crawled but I now know where I belong,
I now savour what I crave,
CHORUS
Come the call, I will be rising, I will let my love-light shine
I will not hold back my longing - eagerness wins over mind
Here I stand, I know my mission. I can make out what's to find,
Sense that I am full of passion, all my veins now full of life
And what I perceive is so real, I'm nothing but feel
It won't be a sin, so let it begin!
So the vision is all clear, and now, stepping right out of the night,
The open road just waits and yearns to be trod on,
Let the shadow turn to light!
CHORUS
Die Texte zu 'Out of the Waste Land'
 THE EDGE OF THE WORLD
Take me - to the edge of the world!
I want to see it for real, that it's not just a word.
Come down - from eternity's skies,
Take me away to a place I can tell truth from lies!
See me - take a look at my face
Joining the forces of light at this boundary place.
Meet with - all the frontiers of life,
Throw a new light on this world and it's shadows of strife
"Yet, still it keeps on spinning round
Without a thought of slowing down for you, for you.
And father time is moving on
While you just sit with nothing left to do, left to do."
Searching - for a movement inside,
Taking this world to the wake of a new state of mind.
Knowing - it is time to redeem
Sitting and thinking is not the inaction it seems
"But still the world is spinning round without a thought of slowing down for you, for you.
And father time keeps moving on while you just sit with nothing left to do, left to do."
Yet it's rising - it's true, so true. Now it's coming - to get you, yes, to get you.
Now it's coming to you. Feel it coming to you.
 LIVING A LIE
Run, run, run - here we go again!
We are all fools rushing by.
Lost without time to turn round and then
Find we are living a lie.
All the years taken by the tide and getting wasted!
All the time given to the wind we never tasted! Yeah!
"Let's get it done!" - will we ever learn?
Just see that look in your eye!
Come, take your time to turn round and then
Find we are living a lie.
All the lines written in the sand, they're always changing.
All the lives lost in empty words we're rearranging. Yeah!
Look at me, I'm going round in circles:
"Steady now, you never can be certain!"
Hypnotised, we're pushing on,
Never ever feeling wrong
Right until our time is running out! Ah!
Come, come, come - even though they're faint, lady nature's songs still can be heard.
Soon we will feel our real soul unbent, called to the front by a word.
All the liars we used to believe will soon be strangers.
All the thoughts of our hollow years will seem deranged! Oh, yeah-yes!
INTO THE WATER
(Phlebas, the Phoenician)
Sea - a world that lies in peace now.
From the corner of your eye all you see is the reduction
Of the things left here to die - To die.
And you fell into the water
And you fell out of the fears of the night.
And you fell into the water,
And you fell out of the fears of the night.
Out of the fears of the night,
Out of the fears of the night.
Ain't it strange how you feel free now - In the middle of despair?
Don't you know? Sometimes destruction
Opens doors and then we dare - We dare.
And you fell into the water
And you fell out of the fears of the night.
And you fell into the water,
And you fell out of the fears of the night.
Out of the fears of the night,
Out of the fears of the night.
 WHAT WILL YOU SAY?
What will you say when your time has arrived and it's done?
What will you do when the fever is dead and it's gone?
Will you believe all the things that you said long ago
Or will you turn round and then never get back to the flow?
What will you say to all the love you had to give when it was real and meant to stay?
Can you still believe in what was true and no one thought could go away?
What is there left to say
When all the things you held dear all just seem to depart?
Will there be hope or just blankness where you had your heart?
Will you remember the time that now seems so unreal
Or will you think of the promising sense that you feel?
What - will - you - say?
Will you attack or just cry in retreat? Will you be bold and admit your defeat?
What will you say when the time has arrived?
And when it's time - will you know and realise?
Are you indifferent or are you afraid? Will it be in time or will it be too late
When you'll decide whether you'll turn away? And when you decide - what is left for you to say?
Hey there, what will you say? Hey there, what will you say? Hey there! What will you say?
What will you say? What will you say?
What is there left to say? What is there left to say? What is there left to say?
I AM, THEREFORE I THINK
I don't know where I'm living - There's nowhere to begin:
Everywhere I'm looking - I find a trace of sin, a trace of sin. A trace of sin.
Well, you might say I'm crazy: I'm finding fault with everything I see,
A Jonah to the springs of joy you feel!
What can I say? I am, therefore I think.
What can I say? I am, therefore I think. What can I say? I am, therefore I think.
True believers in their hearts and deceivers played their parts.
Saw them walking to their graves. Yet, still I think of their own days.
So, tell me where I'm living - Describing all the things that you now see.
Then tell me there's a sin that you don't feed.
What can I say? I am, therefore I think.
What can I say? I am, therefore I think. What can I say? I am, therefore I think.
True believers in their hearts and deceivers played their parts.
Saw them walking to their graves. Still I think of their own days, yes.
In my own way, yes. I said "yes"!
Excuse me, but I'm living with open eyes, you see:
The son of owls has told me what I should try to be, and I'll be. Yes I'll be!
So if you walk away now - Laughing in your hollow, empty way, what he despised is what you're going to stay.
What can I say? I am, therefore I think. What can I say? I am, therefore I think.
What can I say? I am, therefore I think. What can I say? I am, therefore I think.
What can I say? I am, therefore I think.
 TURN AROUND
I know you feel it. We all know there's something wrong.
Will you believe them -
The thoughts that keep on flashing through your mind?
Or are you going to play the blind?
So will you face it - all alone? Refuse our hand and - turn to stone?
Turn around, turn around, turn around, look around!
Turn around, turn around, turn around, look around!
Come, take your time now: You simply should not run away.
Open your eyes now! Reflections of your self will guide the way
And soon you'll see the light of day.
So, don't you face it - all alone!
Come, take our hand and - start to talk!
Turn around, turn around, turn around, look around! Turn around, turn around, turn around, look around!
 SEE MY TRYING
Sunbeams spreading all around. Come - see the light of day!
Ticking clock is calling out: Don't let this chance drift away!
Lovers arms within my reach - Can feel the beat of her heart.
And yet it's closing in on me at times when we are apart.
Come, see me trying, dragging around - I can't find the right words to say.
It's you that I need to get it all out, to keep me from slipping away.
So, do you still remember the time that our faces seemed changed?
Well, lines may seem to get out of place but the smile stays the same.
Now, should I say these words to you - Or is it me who needs them more?
Today, with you gone, it's clear: It's myself I write this for.
So, come, see me trying, dragging around - I can't find the right words to say.
It's you that I need to get it all out, To keep me from dying!
Come see me trying, dragging around - I can't find the right words to say.
It's you that I need to get it all out, to keep me from slipping away.
So, come and see me trying, dragging around - I can't find the right words to say.
It's you that I need to get it all out, to keep me from slipping away.
 THE LIGHT
So, you're being pushed around, and all you seem to feel is down.
Don't you know that when you're bound
You've got no chance to come back round?
Lest you fail you have to stay the author of your life.
If they take the pen from you, you have to steal a knife.
Carve the way you feel in stone without a word that could be wrong.
Look at what you really want and find the light within your soul.
Compromise you should despise, you're best at what you love!
Energy is ten times higher when you follow your own goals.
Playing safe will never ever put it right.
The choice is up to you, so come and face the light:
The light, the light - The light, the light - The light!
Ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah.
Playing safe will never ever put it right.
The choice is up to you, so come and face the light:
The light, the light - The light, the light - The light!
Ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah, ah. Ah, ah - aha-ah-aha. Ah, ah - aha-ah-aha, Ah, ah, ah!
 HOLDING ON
Long lost sister, I sure have missed you. I've found you on the inside now,
Holding on, holding on.
Constant brother, there is no other Roaming in my life like you,
Holding on, holding on.
So let us seal what is real. Yeah, let us seal - what's real! Yes it's real, yeah!
Though you get older it's always your blood running through my veins and soul,
Holding on, holding on.
And you, my lover, I'll always cover. Protection lies inside my heart,
Holding on, holding on.
So let us seal what is real. Yeah, let us seal - what's real! Yes it's real, yeah!
Feel the yearning rise, leading our life through the darkest night, painting it wihte.
Though the days turn cold our rewards will be manifold, just keep your guard.
Though their anger burns, all of their lies will be overturned by our ties.
Long lost sister, could this be your blood roaming through my life and soul, holding on, holding on?
While you, my lover, my constant "other", have found your place inside me now, holding on, holding on.
So let us seal what is real. Yeah, let us seal - what's real!
 NO REASON TO WORRY
There is no sin - that lies within. There is no sin - no, no - that lies within!
There are roads that lead into madness, there are people bringing you down.
All around you there is worry and sadness.
Yet there's hope inside you calling out:
There's a silver lining on the horizon, there is love in every part of you.
You just ignore the fact that demons are rising
And laugh into the face you look into.
There's no reason to worry -hey! Finally it will all be alright.
There's no reason to worry -hey! Finally it will all be alright, alright.
Still the devil's fires out in the distance light the road leading down to hell.
People take this path of least resistance
Lined by neon lights with nothing to tell.
And you so different even in your denial, shining from within in darker flames,
Keep a beacon that will stand every trial.
Unconvention wrought into your name.
There's no reason to worry - hey! Finally it will all be alright.
There's no reason to worry - hey! Finally it will all be alright, alright.
See, come and feel, look within: What is there for us to bring?
Look within, come and feel, it is there for us to see!
See, come and feel, look within: What is there for us to bring?
Look within, come and feel, it is there for us to see!
It's for us to see -yeah. It's for us to see - yeah. It's for us to see - yeah, to see.
THE JEWEL CITY
 Alas, fare thee well, it's time to go. The city of light is calling me.
Down to the coast and over the sea, Or else... I will sleep eternally.
On, from the edge of the world - To see the reflections of light
I have seen in my dreams. To keep me from worry and sighs,
Clear the sky, cast away - The chaos that falls all around.
Hands of time and its days -They're calling me now!
The Jewel City! The city of light!
A pilgrim's progress - On through the night!
So good to be moving, so eager to see what is yet to come.
The changing horizons, to rest in the sun while my thoughts still run.
The blood and the roses, the journey of life, to leave earthbound shackles behind.
To further perceptions and opening minds, and glimpses of paradise.
On through the age of the world - To see the reflections of life
We believe to have been. - To search for whatever we find
Rays of light that will stay, and walls that will fall by a sound.
Reason's time and its place - They're calling us now!
The Jewel City! The city of light!
A pilgrim's progress - On through the night!
Why should I be idle, grow whiskers, and stop singing my own song?
Why cling to the comfort, and stay in brick walls while the hills still call?
So clear is the colour, yet few is the number to stick to its glow in the end.
On to the fountain, run to its light, the one thing that heaven has sent!
FOOTPRINTS IN THE SAND
 Tempests beating time,
Now crimson seems to last.
Arcadia's forgotten
Without a word left to be said.
The bleeding eyes don't seem to mend and see the footprints in the sand.
The bleeding eyes don't seem to mend and see the footprints in the sand.
Dirty god of war, towering above,
Coming down to rise again, the meadows sing its core.
The bleeding eyes don't seem to mend and see the footprints at the shore.
The bleeding eyes don't seem to mend and see the footprints at the shore.
What do you need to make you feel 'O bring it on down!'?.
Bring it on down, down! Bring it on down!
And maybe we can find a path amongst this turmoil turning over.
And maybe if we find the way there is no need to say goodbye.
And maybe rain will wash away the stains of red on grass and clover.
Yeah, maybe one day eyes will mend. Yeah, eyes will mend to see the sky. See the sky!
Praying for the rain. Let the thunder roar!
Pure and purgatorial drop - the meadows sing its core.
The bleeding eyes don't seem to mend and see the footprints at the shore.
The bleeding eyes don't seem to mend and see the footprints at the shore.
What do you need to make you feel 'O bring it on down!'?.
What do you need to make you feel 'O bring it on down!'?. Bring it on down!
IN ALL WAYS AND ALWAYS
 Though lightning may strike twice today, though shadows are lasting and rage,
Though madness returns and rears up its head, remember I'll never forget.
Through ages of darkness and pain, through hell or high water that came
With storms that are still raving on and on, I still will be singing this song:
Real. I said, real is the feeling that I feel.
True. Oh, so true is the love I have for you.
The dreamer I've been all those years does not admit darkness and fears
Within the reach of the two tracks we've laid side by side outside the rage.
All this till the end of all time. The mark of the passage to find
Is forever fix'd and is standing so strong with unaltered light that stays on:
You, yes it's you who's shining on son true.
Feel what is to feel in the magic drawing near.
Now is the time to spread some love - In all ways and always.
Now is the time to rise above - On wings of love and all days.
Melancholy - not depression. Anger, yes, but no aggression.
Holy love and no disgrace - In our flowers yet our face.
Gentleness save shallow hours - Fire without devouring powers.
Trust in Good, no venom'd heart - Doubt except despairing parts.
So let it flow. Hang on loose and let it go. See. Trust in me, Keep a-drifting and be free.
The rain has stopped falling today, the clouds are all rolling away. The sunlight will sparkle in drops of dew, a new age will be dawning soon.
Yet still raving shadows remain. We have to be patient and wait. But one day we'll be where we belong, for now be content with this song.
For now be content with this song This song. This song.
FOLLOW THE EMPRESS
 Weaving circles of light from her eyes burning bright.
With the grace of an ancient Egyptian goddess she walks modestly tall. The empress.
Well, her name bears her way. I hope that long she will reign.
True style, but at the same time so careless! She's a reason to fall.
You've got to follow, you've got to follow, you've got to follow - The empress.
Cause she knows, yes she knows, yes she knows - The answers.
My empress. My empress. The empress.
With a wave of her hand all are at her command,
Just one wink of her eye could cause people to die - to die!
But she knows it, and she shows it,
But refuses To misuse this, oh yes.
Here she comes...
You've got to follow, you've got to follow, you've got to follow - The empress._
Cause she knows, yes she knows, yes she knows - The answers.
My empress. My empress. The empress.
You've got to follow, you've got to follow, you've got to follow - The empress.
Cause she knows, yes she knows, yes she knows The answers.
My empress. My empress.
My empress, my empress, my empress, my empress.
SEASONS
 Seasons pass me by.
Just winter seems to last.
Tears fall from my eyes
As all good times have passed.
All of the time the things in my mind keep on spinning round.
Sitting as time passes by and the leaves keep on falling down.
Coming round with sighs,
My wings are broken down
Watch me drift on by
As I get turned to song.
All of the time the things in my mind keep on spinning round.
Sitting as time passes by and the leaves keep on falling down, falling down.
So as time goes by,
And winter just won't pass,
All the tears I've cried
Still linger on and last.
And all of the time the things in my mind keep on spinning round.
Sitting as time passes by and the leaves keep on falling down, falling down.
ANTIGONE'S LAMENT AND TRIUMPH
Walk the night out on the heath,
With a bleeding heart, he's hard to find - So hard to find.
Do what's right out on the heath,
With your bleeding heart, it's hard to find - So hard to find.
To find. To find...
The king's unfeeling innocence, his law-abiding mind - He had to keep it!
Her brothers' death on either side, the law between the lines - Yet loyal to them both!
"The traitor will rot - a warning sign! And death to all who kneel and recognise him.
But she would keep her inner sense - Her self-abiding mind! She had to keep her oath.
"The sentence, spoken, must be kept. A man stands by his word. So execute her!"
But firm she stood, a moral sign - Her law-abiding kind:
No law would rule her mind - But what she thought was right.
What's right? - What's wrong? What's right? - What's wrong?
What's wrong? Aah-aah-aah. Aah-aah-aah....
The things you see - turn round, you're free. You can't deny - it's time to fly.
The world comes down. a wall of sound - is breaking through. No time to lose.
We're moving on, love paints our song. The guiding light - shines on tonight.
The moon whispers starlight. We move across the sky.
The world has now stopped turning, and you transform to light.
Your self caused all you have been given. You've reached your share of heaven.
Your share of heaven, your share of heaven...
LET IT BE GONE (DON'T BOTHER)
Raising up the poisonous cup with a smiling want of zeal.
Wheeling a rock with no second thought of the souls still left to heal.
The fire they play with is here to stay with you and me caught in between.
Yet their time, it will pass despite all this mess - Heed your idea and you'll see:
Though the jangle is rising
The most deafening roar turns to shadows.
Feel your own blood and drink it all up - Fully ravish in your tone.
Answer to your call, slowly hear them fall, free your soul and let it be gone.
The discord they spread, the bedlam we had with all the world caught in between!
Tomorrow today will turn to decay all the children of the machine.
Yes, though the jangle is rising
The most deafening roar turns to shadows.
Evil dream, you know the scene: All your hope is gone but they don't bother. Don't bother.
"Don't you know it's time to go? What's this world, a one man show? Don't bother. Don't bother.
Yes, still the jangle is rising,
Yet the deafening roar turns to shadows - shadows.
Raising up the poisonous cup, fully ravish in your tone.
Wheeling a rock with no second thought, free your soul and let it be gone.
Let it be gone...
INTERIOR MONOLOGUE
 Could it be... really me? - Flailing here... about unseen?
Sweet relief, still unseen. Taking leave - yet stays with me!
Why not cry?
For whom? In time...
REASONRHYME - Inside!
Stalking wretchedly amongst the rain
Towards perfection, staggering around between
The everlasting paradox and the danger in time.
Trying so hard in the gusts of wind
To feel the canine brother and the earthgirl friend,
While millions of firetongued leaves are burning inside!
Why not cry?
For whom? In time...
REASONRHYME - Inside!
Why not cry?
For whom? In time...
REASONRHYME - Inside!
I would rather go blind than see you cry.
I would rather be dead than hurt you. My
INVERSED self is what you are, My INSIDE...
SUPERSONIC MAN
 Keep on pushing along, keep on singing your song.
You're going to do nothing wrong, do nothing wrong, do nothing wrong.
I said, now, can't you see - what's become of me?
I said, now, can't you see, can't you see, can't you see, can't you see?
Come on, stay just who you are, and you'll ride upon a star.
Come on, stay just who you are -you are!
Just take a look at me! Don't you like what you see?
Just wait and you'll be free, you'll be free, you'll be free, you'll be free.
You'll be a supersonic man - if you do what you can.
Just try again and again and again and again and again.
Come on, stay just who you are, and you'll ride upon a star.
Come on, stay just who you are - you are!
Come, my supersonic friend. Cross the borders of our land!
Fly up high across the sky - Sonic people never die,
Never die, never die, never die, never
Die!
NEVER AGAIN
 Full moon - rising up tonight. Soon gloom - will give way to light.
Wind shakes - Hollow trees it breaks. Breeze, rise! Breathe and bestow life!
And the withered vine will fall - To free our sight.
And the sound of lore will call - To make us wise.
Hear it rising, rising up tonight, Making the sky sing! Reason come to life!
Cold. White. Brightness. Blind? Fear and fright. Want to turn aside.
But the withered vine will fall - To free your sight.
And the sound of lore will call - To make you wise.
Hear it rising, rising up tonight, Making the sky sing! Reason come to life!
The shining dream with the broken crown
Will never ever let you down, my friend. Ooh, right till the end.
For once you've dreamt it, it won't fade;
You won't forgive mistakes they've made, again. No, never again.
Never again, my friend, no, not again, again, my friend, again.
Oh - never again! No!
Hear it rising, rising up tonight, Making the sky sing! Reason come to life!
The shining dream with the broken crown will never ever let you down, my friend. Ooh, right till the end.
For once you've dreamt it It won't fade; you won't forgive mistakes they've made, again. No, no, never again.
Never again, my friend, no, not again, again, my friend, again. Oh-never again!
