If I don't wake up by tomorrow
If I don't work one more day If this is my hearts final beating now. Here is to you what I'd say Never listen to tales from the high wire Hear my flute that I played in your ear I'm just a clown in the eyes of the world Guess I'm a clown in the eyes of the world What do you see in the crystal ball Now, what may com in my way? Tell me the truth do you love me? Cause I haven't come here to play Never listen to voodoo tongue teachers Just taste the stardust I've placed in your mouth I'm just a clown in the eyes of the world Guess I'm a clown in the eyes of the world I'm a clown, I'm a clown in the eyes of the world I'm a clown, I'm a clown in the eyes of the world Some may say I'm a loser Some may say I'm a sinner Work my way like a bulldozer Twist my day for a change Never listen to voodoo tongue teachers Just feel the love that I placed in your heart 02.

03. Just This Once Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Shut up just this one
Let's go where the river runs Maybe you can change the world But there's a lot you still have to learn You're a child and I'm a man There's so much you don't understand I'm a little wiser see I got this taste of eternity I've got this feeling inside Your ego has taken you for a ride Just once you're on top of it all "The harder they come, the harder they fall" It's a shame you're wasting time So many fools waiting down the line Everyone wants to rule the world But there's a lot they haven't heard You're young, you're beautiful Still it ain't nothing but fools gold I'm a little wiser see I'm concerned about eternity I've got this feeling inside Go talk to the King, he's got nothing to hide 04. Church Of Your Heart Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Don't believe in matter, so please don't fence me in
Don't believe in freedom, you've seen the shape I'm in, Never mind the limits, the values come astray Trust upon the only thing, that matters today.... It's true, the church of your heart Will ring out the wonder of the moment Spirit of the ages All, of your colorful dreams We saw them materialize, and, one by one We trust the pages We do believe in wonder, we do believe it's right Stars will be our blankets, the moon supply the light Gracefully I watch them coming down like waterfalls All ancient souls, universal wisdom, come true! Open doors.... Believe, in the church of your heart And every step you'll take is magic You'll stand up to the heat True, be true to your heart And thru the looking glass of wonder The universe, now at your feet.... Belief, will go all the way, build us a home, a heart out of clay True, the sharp interplay, and no man shall dare, to stand in our way It's true, the church of your heart.... Time may catch me in the middle of my great grand mission Time may not be right, but still I hammer on, nail my higher vision No moment in stagnation, Still ain't no science fiction, slave to my one conviction Watch for this elevation, flowers and celebration Work my way to your heart, is it really true, tell me.... Tell me that it's.......true, the church of your heart 05. Poor Mr Rain's Ordinary Guitar Music by Roine Stolt

09. Compassion Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
For the week, wounded hearts
For the nameless, fallen stars For the ones who built this land For the ones with a gun in hand Compassion, for the fearless, harmless, stunts Compassion, for the lost and lonely ones Compassion, for the homeless, refugees Compassion, for the scattered families.... World of yours too small, history recall, Better not forget, now look in both directions Warrior, king or slave, freedom is your trade CyberCain still screaming for connection..... Compassion, for the ones who lost their faith Compassion, gave it up & give in to hate Compassion, where hell is their self made heaven Compassion, can't forgive seventy, nor 7 Compassion, is it us against the others? Compassion, for the sister & her twisted brother Compassion, with your face against the wall Compassion, for the human after all 10. Pipes Of Peace Music by Tomas Bodin, Roine Stolt

11. The End Of Innocence Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
And now, you're a soldier of fortune and fame
They say, you're a knight with no number no name And now.....that you've come to the end of the road Step back, step into the fold And what, if you call this a home of the brave They say that you've got to have sinned to be saved Past days of Sunday school enter your mind Lost in your nursery crimes The nursery angels set the world on fire A rocketeer couldn't get much higher Moms little angels with their deadly toys In battlefield games with the boys, Armed to teeth and "Arnoldized" Now, shut your ears and close your eyes The guardian angels turned his face away This child's gone astray Yes this one's gone astray... Left at the chessboard, childhoods end King of the playground, your move again Wooden horses and heart of steel But this time it's for real This time it's for real... 12. The Merrygoround Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Come on get your tickets, step up to the merry go round
Come on lift me up, take me home, take my feet off the ground Everyone's got to be in, or we're out Everyone knows what this is all about Dizzy & dreamy you're dancing around in my brain Working the orbital lodges onboard on this train Once you're abroad there is no turning back Once touch the backdoors the surface will crack Number one, still undone Number two, feeling blue Number three, late for tea Number four, here for more Number five, still alive Number six, need a fix Number seven, gone to heaven Number eight, always late Number nine, feeling fine Number ten, lost again Free, now you say you're at peace, now you're spinning the tales, I keep dancing the deep time, spin your secrets within Tales of life everlasting, take me in, let it be And the angels sang, sweetly the blues away And I will bend this starless night into day King, in this layer of gold, he once spoke of his home, He was once around the world, Lost in a merry go round, in this spinner of sound Letting go, set me free And the angels sang, so sweetly the blues away And I will bend this silent night into day 13.

15. Different People Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
I saw them coming from the mountains.
I saw them coming from the sea. I heard them speak in coded language But I could not find a key. I heard them whisper: "any colours". I heard them sing in every tree. I saw them dancing in the mainstream, Say they got something for me. Different people Different ways of living Different colours Different ways of giving I saw them dancing in the mainstream I saw them kissing butterfly's Handing out flowers in the morning All before my very eyes I heard them talk about the future I saw them turning to the skies I watched them dance around the teapot Like a major lullaby I saw them coming from the mountains I saw them coming from the sea I heard them talk in coded language But I could not find a key 16. Kingdom Of Lies Music by Tomas Bodin, Roine Stolt Lyrics by Roine Stolt
They came to look for paradise, a better life, a better way
The purple prince he fly by night, he smile in the shades, He sleep all day. Struck by fate, maybe, I don't know, All I saw was the mark of the claw Evil never found a way down here, The strong will survive, now that's the law Kingdom of lies, land of the loner, power has gone to his head, Kingdom of flies, over and over, push the needle to red, But it get's him nowhere... Lizards and snakes in the garden of Eden, Whipping the weeds, made the flowers die Down to the waters the holy Lamb, barely alive, And the Shepard cries... Kingdom of lies... 17.

18. Ghost Of The Red Cloud Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Images of twilight becomes real
Help me spell it out now what we feel Fear the silence, calling out the wild That's the order in the kingdom of the child There are ways you'll come out laughing for a while There are moments when you break down like a child There are times when you just want to scream out loud Dancing with the ghost of the red cloud Speak to me of the future days to come Play for me, go beat your battle drum Ghosts of Brimstone hiding in the lake Pray them ball and chain won't ever break There are ways you'll come out laughing for a while There are moments when you break down like a child There are times when you just want to scream out loud Dancing with the ghost of the red cloud 19.

20. Stardust We Are Music & lyrics by Roine Stolt
Part I
Look for no tears in my eyes Sing me no sweet lullaby I made a heart of stone I can call my own Remember the days of the shoreline The sun made the surfers go blind Once painfully trapped between childhood and fame Now that's my name Someone please tear down the walls of this room Don't leave me deaf-dumb in this silent cocoon I gave my soul freely for a place in the sun I know that I'm not the only one Shadow flies, dead end of fame Them neon lights spelling my name And fear the day when the light goes out What's it all about? The dust that once came to my eyes Suddenly left me unwise Painfully trapped between childhood and fame That's a shame Astray like a leaf in the rapids of time Once touch the stars, then back to the grind Back to the level where humans thread Imploded back into my head Someone please tear down the walls of this room Don't leave me deaf-dumb in this silent cocoon I gave my soul freely for a moment of truth A servant and knight to the boot See me, touch me, feel me, will I live forever? Hold me, thrill me, in your love forever Part II Let me guide you to a world unknown Kiss the frog and kiss the lizards throne See them crawling out of dusty holes Ghosts of yesterday, now twice as bold Set the wheels in motion once again Flames they change, the empire remain Dare I dream of better days to come? Have I precious statements still undone? Will you follow me to stars unknown? Or will I end up traveling alone? Let me guide you to a world unknown Kiss the frog and kiss the lizards throne Teach me, tell me, will I live forever? Part III Now see how we fly so heavenly high Swimming the ocean and spin' the stars And so the great net will fall apart So don't forget the human touch The word of mouth, this roundabout, we love so much Now see how our thoughts are running free Run for leader and semi God And once again we pay in blood So don't forget the human trial The cry of love, the spark of life, dance thru the fire Stardust we are Close to divine Stardust we are See how we shine Sailed the sea, the moon and the stars Build this window beneath the pool Lend a hand to a drowning fool See them saviours come so cheap We loose our touch, and down we go, into the deep Drivin' down the memory lane Dusty dreams from a fading sun Remember how the horses run We played the stars, we walked the moon We burnt the rope, layed down the gun Stardust we are Close to divine Stardust we are See how we shine Stardust we are Close to divine Stardust we are See how we shine |
