02. Overload
Tonight you're going to
Overload your mind Move into another world There for you online A high speed chase that Leads you to the unknown Time will disappear so fast For you and you alone A universe in isolation Feeding your imagination No-one cares about The role you play Generations lost in space A million miles away Life moves faster Than the speed of sound You think you've got Complete control It makes your world go Round and round Digital communication Feeding your imagination Coded warning Now you're falling into overload Countdown started, no way out Hit the mother lode The power that you crave For more and more You try to understand the things That you are fighting for When multi channel meltdown Gets to you You'll reach the breakpoint When it's over, what you gonna do Seeing your determination Feeding your imagination A universe in isolation Feeding your imagination You're looking for a new sensation Gotta find a real sensation Into overload? 03. Tears Of The World
Come and share my moonlit stair
Things of beauty everywhere So much luck it isn't fair 'Cos the tears of the world Keep falling I got the best of everything A better world I could not dream You should see what I have seen As the tears of the world keep falling Ah ah ah ah ah ah The tears of the world keep falling Ah ah ah ah ah ah Until we stand together Ah ah ah ah ah ah The tears of the world keep falling Ah ah ah ah ah ah Until we stand together So much wealth on every face You're in the fight to win the place Or are you just a hopeless case As the tears of the world keep falling You'd like to think that it's not cruel Design your future by their rules You worship at the feet of fools While the tears of the world Keep falling Ah ah ah ah ah ah The tears of the world keep falling Ah ah ah ah ah ah Until we stand together Ah ah ah ah ah ah The tears of the world keep falling Ah ah ah ah ah ah Until we take control together We pushed our way to reach our goal Turning silver into gold We need to take complete control As the tears of the world keep falling The great divide we know so well Will be there at the last farewell Unless we break this living hell As the tears of the world keep falling Ah ah ah ah ah ah The tears of the world keep falling Ah ah ah ah ah ah Until we stand together Ah ah ah ah ah ah The tears of the world keep falling Ah ah ah ah ah ah Until we learn to stand together 04. Light Of A Thousand Stars
We stand together like brothers
Under troubled sky So crazy how we came to live this life Cross my heart but I refuse to die I'm coming home to you They never gave us any guarantee All they want to see is bravery I can't live with this misery I'm coming home to you And I don't know Who's on whose side Guide me with your love Give me the light of a thousand stars Shine my way back to you Show me the road Get me over the line There's no limit to what love can do Don't need no badge of honour On my sleeve The fear of dying gonna set me free A part of you is still a part of me I'm coming home to you 'Cos I keep your picture Close to my heart You're the sweetest thing in this life And if I ever get back home I'm gonna fight to Keep our dream alive You know that men are born And men will die I look at what I am surrounded by Gotta get out before I lose my mind I'm coming home 05. Heaven's Rain
I look back on those days
At the permanent haze And the dark that surrounded me Then good fortune arrived I saw life in your eyes You talked about changing views Freedom to choose, darkness to light There lies the kingdom Of beautiful stories Pure as the heaven's rain Shine on the heartache The bittersweet glory Shine over everyone Down the road I would fall The wrong side of the wall Sound of madness Moved in for the kill Then good fortune arrived I saw life in your eyes You talked about taking me To a place I should know Just you and me There's a hole in the sun Where I wanted to run There were clouds in the open sea Then good fortune arrived I saw life in your eyes You talked about showing me A place I should know Just you and me Shine over everyone? 06. Book Of Lies
The story of my life
Was written there in front of me The book revealed The lines upon my face After chapter one The images of better times Turned into a classic cold embrace Just throw the book away Through your eyes you'll write again And the book of lies Cuts deep into my mind Did I steal your heart And leave it in the rain I'll never know, no I'll never know It's me I recognise Or am I getting in too deep It's getting harder now To turn the page Did I read my name Or is it just coincidence Only what is true will cure my rage Coming to the end Sentences are bitter sweet Paragraphs that leave me feeling cold But it's all too late The written world will always be The essence of how well The story's told 07. What Kind Of God
I rode to my homeland
And carried the memory Over the valley below And the heart of a nation The war cry was blazing And the loss of my brothers and sons Were all in the name of civilization The empty moon saw I was leaving with pride and hope in my heart The mountains talk of Far away dreaming So came the invasion Across from a faraway place Into the new world With guns and new order They gave us religion Then took away all of our rights And forced us to live Behind their new border The four winds blow And bring new vision Where children laugh without fear The land will speak The people will listen But yesterday my life was fading With every reason to die Ten miles to the north As I rode my red horse In the dying sun And then when I saw The white soldiers One hundred or more in a line Kill for the land Saying their law will stand What kind of god do they see? The fighting is over No matter what fear they might bring My country will live The dust clouds are falling I stood by the river And breathing the air that is life Within the black hills My spiritual calling What kind of god can this be? 08. Ghost Of The Ocean
A ghost of the ocean
Tells of the women of the sea They ran from oppression In the forgotten history No innocents No leader to defend No god, no government And it's hard to believe They were riders on the sea Women of fortune Always to be prepared to die Blood on the knife edge Flag of the sea lord flying high A world of action strong and free Adventure war and loyalty The mermaid tyrant loved to fight She ties the noose and pulls it tight Treacherous island Somewhere to hide on no man's land Ships in the harbour Waiting to hear the battle plan 09. Angels Walk With You
I only know what I'm feeling
Do you know it's true 'Cos I've searched for you 'Cos I believe in you Why do we walk in shadows While this world falls apart 'Cos I'd die for you 'Cos I know angels walk with you In my hands I hold nothing The more I have the less I use If I'd gone down that road forever I would not have found you And a new world with a new morning A new sunrise on a brand new day A new life with a real meaning A new sunrise on a brand new day 'Cos angels walk with you If we sit and do nothing Will the light surely fade? Can I trust in you forever? If you show me the way A new world with a new morning A new sunrise on a brand new day A new life with a real meaning A new sunrise on a brand new day 'Cos angels walk with you Yeah, walk with you, with you Yeah, walk with you 'Cos I'd die for you 'Cos I know angels walk with you A new world with a new morning A new sunrise on a brand new day A new life with a real meaning A new sunrise on a brand new day A new world with a new morning A new sunrise on a brand new day A new life with a real meaning A new sunrise on a brand new day 'Cos angels walk with you 10. Shadow
There is illusion in my mirror
I have to show concern 'Cos what is left is right Don't know which way to turn And there is someone who is like me But all they want to do is stare And he would like to find the key But I'm not there Shadow, nothing but a shadow Sunlight, never see the sunlight Power, I got a special power Shadow, nothing but a shadow And now I'm moving Down the sidewalk Just staring at the ground And if I don't look up the scene Will change around And we are residents of nowhere What do we really say Like a marionette just Acting out a play I thought I saw a face that I knew While running through the crowd Then she turned to look at me I didn't really feel a thing Just floating through the air A trick of light for all to see 11. War Child
Open your eyes, you're still here
Still safe, at peace in this world So great, you're free You don't have to fight for your life But just say, just say There's fire from the sky And you're burning alive Why all this pain and Poison in her mind What can you change When hatred made her blind soldiers No reason to look into her eyes No one to hold her No one who really cares Lifeless expressions Destroyed all conceptions For children in the street Who's there to help you When all is forgotten and Torn apart by fear No one to hold her No one who really cares Oh please don't cry Oh no war child The struggle for power That grows by the hour Like the blood beneath her feet Dispering with heartache There must be somebody To help her in such need No one to hold her No one who really cares Open your eyes, you're still here Still safe, at peace in this world So great, you're free You don't have to fight for your life War child |
