[Instrumental]

Can you take the pain away?
Could you dry my eyes?
(Take away the lies)
Watch my life drift away
You can't finalize
(Fail to compromise)
All the life you've given me
You can't take away
Victim of an empty mind
With all my fear, with blood and tears
Alone I have to pay!

I can tell what you feel inside
I can see what you try to hide
No love for life that you create
Born and raised and left to hate
In my mind there's never anyone to blame
You are right but you are always causing
All the pain
Beyond insanity
That's where you've got to be
Sifting through the selfish lie that
Call life!

Can't close my eyes today
All the torment in my head
(Sin is all you said)
I just try to figure out
Why my feelings are so dead
(Hatred is inbred)
To live my life to hate the world
Is such hypocrisy
In my mind its only me
With all the love and all the hate I try
To break free
Try to break free!

Can you take the pain away?
My life still left to find
(Searching all to find)
All the hell you've put me through
The confusion in my mind
(Confusion makes me blind)
A taste of sin, a taste of sorrow

Life taken away
Empty house of empty lies
Without my fear I disappear alone you
Have to pay
Alone you have to pay!

A dream was born one day long ago
One man's fight for equality
Through his eyes the teachings of a saint
One man's fight against supremacy
Never to this day,
Have his people seen his way
If they listen he will tell
Or the dream will burn in hell

Wasted lives,
Intoxicated youth,
The dream has died,
The pain will never soothe

March on, carry on
We must teach the way of sanity
Bring it back, (the dream) take it back,
For his people the only way

Man, just one man
We must believe
That one man can change the world
See, we must see
We must believe
The cure is right in our hands
Be the Medicine Man!

A dream was killed and a scapegoat cries
No chance for equality
The world sat and watched him die
We believed the insanity
Still unto this day,
We watch it slip away
Democracy of lies,
That they justify

Deceived by control,
Governed with innocence,
Conspiracy the soul,
Suffering in ignorance

March on, carry on
We must earn the victory
Bring it back, (the dream) take it back,
Learning from our history

A man and his dream scared into reality
Human spirit played the role
Teaching the youth the way of morality
Knowledge is the key, learning control
Still unto this day, he will light the way
Honored, embraced, we follow what he traced

Believe in the one,
Seize the dream,
Take it all and run,
Find your self-esteem

March on, carry on
We must believe in the story
Bring it back, (the dream) take it back
Humanity not territory!

A tear from a boy
Will he be proud to wave the flag one day?
(Symbolism can't convey)
A mother cries
Will she be able to fill her needs?
(Patriotism cannot feed)

Break through the shelter
Of a rotten perfect Earth
A flower reached to the heavens
Create a revolution
To bring back yesterday
Blossomed fool to lead the way

You won't let me live
You'd rather see me die
What am I worth to you?
Another alibi
So the story goes
Wll, I can see inside
What are you worth to me?
My honor and my pride

A slave to the system
A wrench in the machine
(Forefathers forgotten)
Rising in the distance
From seeds of discontent we are born!

Looking out my window, I see Hell
Looking out my window, I see you
Staring through my door, I see Hell
Burning in the flames, I see you

Trouble my mind
Trouble my soul
Trouble in the youth
Burning out of control

Control control control control
Burning out of control

Playing with my mind, I see Hell
Playing out of mind, I see you
But, who the fuck can ever tell
Burning in the flames, I see you

Trouble my mind
Trouble my soul
Trouble in the youth
Burning out of control

Control control control control

Falling asleep into a dream
Falling asleep, away, away
Falling asleep, I'm falling down
Wide awake, I see you

Trouble my mind
Trouble my soul
Trouble in the youth
Burning out of control

Control control
There ain't no fucking control

Too much time, too many eyes
Too many promises, too many cries
Too much fear and aggravation
Art of sin at their dictation
Souls in pain own eyes in lust
Rotting minds die without trust
They try to take the freedom away,
Then try to make it all go away!

Put death to rest, put life to shame
Red hands, murder, who's to blame?
What are we? Why do we care?
Colorful eyes in a dead blank stare
Blind are we running scared
My mind, my soul what is fair
What we need to stay in line
Mass control of fragile mind

Look into the machine,
Tell me what you want to be
Look into the machine,
Tell me what you want to be!

Enter the hell of a mind gone mad,
Into a world of the faceless void,
Gears turn to the infallible pulse,
Enter control, to the divine

To be creator, add color to eyes
To watch the growth, triple the size
To light the dark, and seize the night
To end the pain, to end the fright
Innocence lost and wisdom gained
Freedom of soul that we proclaim
Don't promise the war
Can't promise creation
Art of sin now our dictation

Look into the machine, Tell me what you want to be
Look into the machine, Tell me what you want to be!

God bless the child who has his own
But all creation isn't carved in stone
People are blind and they can't decide
Path of destruction leads to mindless suicide
Mother looks but she'll never see,
All the abuse, why don't we just set her free!

We are trapped in a fortress of insanity
Life's potential, lost to hypocrisy
Aggravation turning to aggression, slipping slowly
Into repression
We can look and we can see,
The winds of change must set her free
Leave her be! The winds of change, lost!, in irony
Breaking down the walls of hate
and all of those who separate
Segregation, civil war, tearing down confining doors
The fall of solidarity, burn the flag, set me free
Time for change, disengage, now its time to
Rearrange, my life

Necessity! Necessity!
Conformity! Conformity!
Uniformity of their policy!
Sanity! Sanity!
Insanity! Insanity!
Deformity of what's meant to be!

Innocence, I began, youth my direction
Ignorance, love in my heart, no detection
Tried to explore, dying for more
Life, death, please mother let me begin

I closed my eyes, everything a lie
Rebellion to rebel, fallen in deep, why?
Tried to deter, dying not to see
Hate, hate, please mother leave me be

I created, I found myself at least I thought
Lust for for love rotted me, no detection
Tried and achieved, what was not conceived
Watch me, please mother look at me!

I fell, I fell hard, face down denial
I've beaten myself into the ground
I tried to rise, everything changes, not me
Wrong or right, please mother forgive me

I looked, I looked at myself, my direction
All these years gone, but I found love
Myself, I'm off to explore again with peace of mind
Every day mother, father I'm more like you
I understand why you do the things you do

Disease!! Rots under my skin
Disease!! Committed like sin
Disease!! Starving for more
Disease!! I don't want to cure

Pull from the force of life
Will we ever find our way?
In this game of impossibility?
In this game we stay
We will find our way

Mother gives the birth
The earth will breathe the death
Try not do or do not
To climb for higher ground
We make no sound

A boy alone in his mind he looks to the sky
His home, the desert, this life to him a lie
Not knowing tomorrow, or what he will face,
Led by a droid across the Jundland waste!

A wizard old man, a myth of today
Through him Luke sees the Force, the way
A cry for help from a princess in white
Her only hope for salvation, in rebellion they fight!

Through the Emperor's evil, a dark lord is born
From good to evil, his soul has been torn
The Jedi but gone, his faith turned to black,
Their technology they prize, but faith they lack

A ruthless slaughter of millions of lives,
A sudden silence of countless cries
They seek the ones who threaten their way,
The alliance strong, they seize the day!

Sacrifice for freedom
A new hope is born
Power of humanity
Life, what's supposed to be

Eulogize your heroes
Hold your head high
Through all of our yesterdays
A new hope is born!

A mission of hope is under way,
The plan's the key, to yesterday
Two warriors meet, the circle complete
The great one will fall, to become a martyr for all

A weakness found, now is time to attack
Impossible plan but there is no turning back
The Force with them and the will to succeed
The victory, humanity, through darkness they exceed!

Sacrifice for freedom
A new hope is born
Power of humanity
Life, what's supposed to be

Eulogize your heroes
Hold your head high
Through all of our yesterdays
A new hope is born!
