02. Reaching For The Sky Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Where were you when everyone
Crashed and burned And fell into the silence of the sun With nothing to be done And where are all the seats preferred And all the wisemen winding up The wisest of all words And love like dinner served But now we're wondering at the warning Look ahead is the future falling down? All along There was a time That was following behind Where you give yourself away Yeah all along There was an eye As the storm flew by And your heart is like a whirlwind Yeah, your heart is like a whirlwind Reaching for the sky Another mask, a day, a night Another task to justify the reason for your life Don't look left man, don't look right Now we're all locked away inside Will we come out like miners excavating in the light The timing must be right What you're feeling you can't express it You hit the streets and you get arrested You want to scream But you can't so you press it down All along There was a time That was following behind Where you give yourself away Yeah all along There was an eye As the storm flew by And your heart is like a whirlwind Yeah, and your heart is like a whirlwind Reaching for the sky Far and away, I thought I'd be closer now The place of knowing is far and away from me Maybe someday when all the wind dies down Love will come calling But it's far and away from me Now... 03. Higher Than The Morning Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Belong, belong, better to belong
Selfishness is only one more aspect of the rain And some convince you that it's virtuous They say the ego needs to run without restrain And other people are superfluous There is some truth that you are trying to decide Then you convince yourself you're one of them The true creators; to opinions they have died Howard Roark and you are like supermen Climb higher than the morning Winds fly without a warning to the NIGHT The cities gather all the vultures of the night Hungry for a little sweet to taste You are right in it but somehow you are outside Watching moles lay other souls to waste It's so revolting, either that or you're amused To see what those objects do out there From out of boredom you partake But you're confused You're not so great As you once thought you were Climb higher than the morning Clouds gather without warning Climb higher than the morning Winds fly without a warning always Here There is a fire There Deep as desire Far and away from me Reach There in the quiet Seek And you will find it Right where it's said to be 04. The Darkness In The Light Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Now that he's gone
You can finally find out what went wrong There's a new deck of cards But the smell of foul play lingers on Light as a feather you testify - a blood red tide Hang out to dry Right in the middle And you think you can't stand the heat You seek the blackness in the white You see the darkness in the light You seek the blackness in the white You see the darkness in the light All that was decent is void And lost to this world Seems like all of the glory Will finally give in and burn You're on the dark side But you wait for the warmth of the sun It all feels so different When you've lost the touch and you're blind You seek the blackness in the white You see the darkness in the light You seek the blackness in the white You see the darkness in the light You seek the blackness in the white You see the darkness in the light You seek the blackness in the white You see the darkness in the light 05. Take Now My Soul Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
I watched as the lights
Went down on mainstreet And all the bootstrap people fled in tears When summer comes we'll dance again Oh yes we will But the moistened heat Could not subside our fears So take now my soul Just get me through to tomorrow Take now my soul Carry me through Lord, I'm comin' home, yeah I've been through times When the desert got the best of me And loneliness became my only friend Now here we are in isolated dissonance With some among us longing for the end So take now my soul Just get me through to tomorrow Take now my soul Carry me through Lord, I'm comin' Take now my soul Just get me through to tomorrow Take now my soul Carry me through Lord, I'm comin' home 06. Looking For The Light Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Summer came, winter's gone
Your sun will set before too long Everyone's got a secret disguise You thought you were the Bowie Nazz Your Howard Roark's a sorry spaz You rip off even songs you despise Yeah! You're deep into the night Looking for the light Black is black And blood is red The ego is the fountainhead Here the human race is all wrong You could be the greatest still Forget the world and set your will Only the helpless need to belong Yeah! You're deep into the night Looking for the light You're deep into the night Looking for the light 07. Love Made A Way (Prelude) Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Love made a way
When there was no way out When sadness came calling Love made a way for me, yeah Maybe someday I thought I might end myself And just in a moment Love made a way for me 08. Owl Howl Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Blackbird - Blackbird - what have you done?
Under the moon - old smoking gun Silhouette of thin boys and girls That disappear into the underworld Pale moon in the land of loss Paper thin are the doors of loss As she comes and take you away The night is cold and everlasting Orchestrator of chaos and dismay Hollow the halo - and empty the laughter... 09. Solitude Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
When it came it was far worse than expected
For many nights and days and days So I curled up in my comfortable place and huddled with my possessions and wondered what is worth fighting for when I felt so far away There in the dark with my solitude Looking for answers to questions why Asking myself, what will I become? Searching for clues that will ease my mind So I locked the doors and I turned off all devices And I seemed to live in metaphors in oh so many ways And in the darkest dead of night I came to a conclusion There was only one solution That could help me find a way There in the dark with my solitude Finding the answers to questions why But there's a fire in my soul and it's burning now To fight for my life and be homeward bound Love made a way When I was broken down Out in the shadows And love made a way for me Far and away I think I got closer now I'm making some headway And it's feelin' alright to me 10. Belong Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Be long - Be Long - Better to belong
Be long - Be Long - Better to belong Move on - Move on - Better to move on We are ready to move on! See the millions waiting for the sun Move on Move on - Better to move on Dig it again - dig it again 11. Can You Feel It Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Can you feel it all around you?
It's an ocean like the sun Where the spirit soul surround you And the turnkey farmers run Say can you see where you are? You're out and about You better stay in the green Before real life wakes up and finds you out! Can't you see it all around you? It's a moment in the heart Let each guidance make you fuller Where you stop that's where you'll start Say can you see where you are? You're out and about You better stay in the green Before real life wakes up and finds you out! Say can you see where you are? In the dead of night You've spent some days In the destiny of a better life Now is the time to arrive And you're out and about You better stay in the green Before real life wakes up and finds you out! Finds you out! 12. Looking For The Light (Reprise) Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Some will say the self is best
The only truth is selfishness There's nothing more than this flesh and bone Well, I lived that life and testified Dwelled among the sons of pride It only left me cold and alone Yeah! Don't sink into the night Keep looking for the light Don't sink into the night Keep looking for the... Looking for the light! 13. The Greatest Story Never Ends Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
As every storybook must surely start to close
We see the message that they send But as every one of us alive already knows The greatest story never ends 14. Love Made A Way Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Where were you when
Always turned to maybe? I was locked inside the wreckage of my life You could have left me there To make it on my own Instead you carried me through everytime All along There was a time That is etched inside my mind Where the night turns into day Yeah, all along You brought us through Into something new When my heart is like a whirlwind Yeah, when my heart is like a whirlwind I know it'll be alright Love made a way When there was no way out As I lay dying Love made a way for me This is the way That you must know yourself Always defining What you were meant to be Here - There is a fire There - Deep as desire Far beyond what we see Reach - There in the quiet Seek - And you will find it Right where it's said to be Love made a way When there was no way out Open the moment Your heart it holds the key Bright - As a new morning Rush - As the sky soaring Wide - As the open sea Free - 'Cause it costs nothing High - As the sun pouring Love - Even down to me After the rain All that will remain is LOVE |
