01. The Dream Goes On

Come on baby, let's have some fun
You don't know it, but you're the one
Feeling right now, I'm in my prime
Ain't gonna die now, I'm doin fine

Don't you see, it's all for me
For our lives upon this stage
'cuz the dream goes on

Ain't no reason, for you to say
You've got to stop your, musical ways

Ain't no way girl, I'm gonna stop today
'Cause you should know that, I've come to play

Don't you see, it's all for me
For our lives upon this stage
'Cuz the dream goes
On and on and on
And on and on and on

Come on baby, let's have some fun
You don't know it, but you're the one
Ain't no reason, for your to say
You've got to stop your, your musical ways

Don't you see, it's all for me
For our lives upon this stage
'Cuz the dream goes
On and on and on
And on and on and on

The dream goes
On and on and on

The dream goes on

02. Cat And Mouse

The rats are in the cellar
The mice are in the cage
The cat is in the toilet
And the dog's got the mange
The up is now the down
The front is now the back
We've got it all so turned around
That I can't keep track

That's the way the story goes
They say it's all so clear
What is real nobody knows
They have all drowned in fear
They're drowning

The lions are roaring
The wolves they howl
The old men are snoring
And the cops they just cop out
Our diamonds are rusty
Our gold is no good
Our minds are so dusty
Nothings understood

That's the way the story goes
They say it's all so clear
What is real nobody knows
We have all drowned in fear
Ah damn it I'm drowning

The rats are in the cellar
The mice are in the cage
The cat is in the toilet
And my fucking dog he's got the mange
The up is now the down
The front is now the back
We've got it all so turned around
That I can't keep track
It's a cat and mouse

03. Far Side Of The Sun

The day is coming
That soon in future's time
Every single one of us
Will soon learn how to die
And if I do escape
Before that time has come
I will meet you
On the far side of the sun
Everybody is free on the far side of the sun

Oh won't you listen to me
I'm on the other side
I've got to get back home
Before I go out of my mind
It's like I'm a mirror
A mystery I can't face
It's like a dream I'm living
I've got to get back into space
Everybody is free on the far side of the sun

I'm going to journey homeward
That time has finally come
I'm going to fly back through the stars
To the far side of the sun
And now a ship approachin'
Heading straight for me
Ah Lord it's a ship like mine
Is this my destiny
Everybody is free on the far side of the sun

04. Street Jammer

The Streets are crowded, Tonight out for blood
My car's ignited, and I've got rubber to burn
My Stereo, is cranked to the max
Oh Rock and Roll (Heavy metal) I've got all the hottest stacks

'Cuz I'm a street jammer,
Street Jammer
Street Jammer
I'm a Street Jammer

Its 12 o'clock, the engines they whine
12 hundred strong, in the dead of the night
The moon is bright, I'm bit too high
I'm gonna jam up the street
before this night is out

'Cuz I'm a street jammer,
I'm a street Jammer
Street Jammer

The Streets are crowded, Tonight I'm out for blood
My car's ignited, and I've got rubber to burn
My Stereo, is cranked to the max
Oh Rock and Roll (Heavy metal) I've got the hottest stacks

'Cuz I'm a street jammer,
Street Jammer
Street Jammer

I'm a street jammer

05. Centurian War Games

Time has never simplified
It's always been so cruel
Deep down inside our hearts
We know it's all for fools
The tribulations of this land
Are coarse and deep within
Raise up with all your might
Use the power we have to win

For we're centurians in a game of war
Fighting for fortune and fame
We're the warriors of a dying race
In the centurian war games

The swords that gleam against the sky
That's red with fires of war
The warriors they fight side by side
Till time is nevermore
Let us win our certain fame
In the game that ends all games
We will win our rival name
In the centurian war games

For we're centurians in a game of war
Fighting for fortune and fame
We're the warriors of a dying race
In the centurian war games

The time has never simplified
It's always been so cruel
And deep down inside our hearts
We know it's all for fools
The tribulations of this land
Are coarse and deep within
Raise up with all your might
Use the power we have to win

For we're centurians in a game of war
Fighting for fortune and fame
We're the warriors of a dying race
In the centurian

For we're centurians in a game of war
Fighting for fortune and fame
We're the warriors of a dying race
In the centurian centurian centurian war games

06. The Empire

The crystal evolves the light of time
The sword of Asrah, power of fire
For life we fight till the end of time
For destiny leads us to build our empire

Master of energy Nardia we hail
For Manillan lords Ice Spirit shall sail
For the empire we shall not fail
The cycle complete order shall prevail

In search of peace
In search of freedom
The cycle complete
The city Manilla

The empire in dormant lace
The magikal mysteries of the ordonian age
The plague of man verses sword of fire
The plotted destruction of the Manillan Empire

Electrical impulse, fire and knowledge
Unite together the gladiator arises
The golden death of demonic domain
Manilla free the empire rises again

In quest of peace
In search of freedom
The cycle complete
The city Manilla

The crystal evolves the light of time
The sword of Asrah, power of fire
For life we fight till the end of time
For destiny leads us to build our empire
