Red sky rage their angry cry upon the battle plains
Soldiers march into history for a cause unexplained
Yet in every heart, in every man, there is a need to win
When one dabbles in war games, who's to say what is sin

Fields of valor and victory
White crosses that bear no name
Each one gave their life to history
Fields of valor and victory
A young boy in an old man's game
Each one gave their life for a nameless cross

Skies bleed pain upon us all a the night comes falling down
Cries of victory cannot be heard when you're six feet underground
Yet feel they understand the paths that they have made
Our children can now run free - price of liberty is paid

Turn back the hands of time so I may ask their names
And place each name upon a stone, to never fade away

Through empty words and promises the madman speaks
His lies go forth as law unto those who believe
Under dark commands he leads the way to a brighter day
Yet that day will never come, will never come, will never come
His day will come

Say the word and I will follow
Speak the truth I will believe
Cast not your shadow on my eyes
Open minds are lead astray
With the hope for a brighter day
Cast not your shadow on my heart
A promise made a promise kept
Remove the lie there's nothing left
Cast not your shadow of a promise

Generals bow before him while the people damn his name
Madman, God or just a fool
Using words of victory, justice and unity
To him these are lies - such an unfortunate surprise

With just one word a nation is moved and justifies his power
The tyrant laughs for in his mind he is supreme
Yet as the sun sets lowly in my heart a nation is broken
And the youth feel the pain, the youth feel the pain
The youth will rise against

Say the word and I will follow
Speak the truth I will believe
Cast not your shadow on my eyes
Open minds are lead astray
With the hope for a brighter day
Cast not your shadow on my heart
A promise made a promise kept
Remove the lie there's nothing left
Cast not your shadow of a promise

Too late for words to turn back the hands of time
Yet deeds take place of sorrow and change its course in line
Dressed in robes of honor, blindly gaining our trust
Soon his robes will be stained with tyranny, with tyranny
With tyranny and blood

Say the word and I will follow
Speak the truth I will believe
Cast not your shadow on my eyes
Open minds are lead astray
With the hope for a brighter day
Cast not your shadow on my heart
A promise made a promise kept
Remove the lie there's nothing left
Cast not your shadow of a promise
Say the word and I will follow
Speak the truth I will believe
Cast not your shadow of a promise

There are powers in this world
People seem to be in control of it all
Spreading madness like disease
Damping the flames of freedom's call
You can't stop what's inevitable
A thirst for power is a deadly game
Crushing whatever gets in their way
They're using you they're using me

Contracts and principles
All play a part in the winner's game
Roll the dice with your life it comes so cheap
Oh but we have minds to change the rules
Puppet masters in houses of gold
Plan our future for their own gain
Yeah but I'm not gonna play that way
Save your money for another man - not me

Winner, loser
There's no winners in this game of greed
Winner, loser
Lust for power is a demon seed
Winner, loser
The more they win, the more you lose

Reach down inside of yourselves
You'll mind there's a better man deep inside
Waiting to be set free
Let it out, yeah let it fly
There's no limit to the mind
Take hold of this wave of magic
There's hope for a brighter day
Don't let anyone stand in your way

Winner, loser
There's no winners in this game of greed
Winner, loser
Lust for power is the demon seed
Winner, loser
The more they win, the more you lose
Winner, loser

Look in his eyes, you'll see a stranger there
One shake from his hand will lead you to despair
He's the taker, "life breaker" is his middle name
So don't play his game

Winner, loser
There's no winners in this game of greed
Winner, loser
Lust for power is a demon seed
Winner, loser
The more they win, the more you lose
Winner, loser
Winner, loser
There's no winners in this game of greed
Winner, loser
Lust for power is the demon seed

As the sun sets low in an eastern sky
As the wall's chipped away from the other side
Homeless are clothed and the hungry fed
As the humble word freedom is boldly said

With our eyes fixed to the stars
There is no stopping us now
Face to face, eye to eye
Hand in hand we touch the sky tonight

Give me your tired and your huddled masses
Hungry souls needing to breathe free
Chasing a new world at the end of a rainbow
Yes you can have it all, just talk to me

With our eyes fixed to the stars
There is no stopping us now
Face to face, eye to eye
Hand in hand we touch the sky
Release those bonds let's break those chains
Let your heart fly free again
Face to face, eye to eye
Hand in hand we touch the sky
Release those bonds let's break those chains
Let your hearts fly free again

Across the world new path are beaten
Step by step new ideas unfold
People standing true for that they believe in
A new song is sung, a new bell is tolled

With our eyes fixed to the stars
There is no stopping us now
Face to face, eye to eye
Hand in hand we touch the sky
Release those bonds let's break those chains
Let your hearts fly free again
Face to face, eye to eye
Hand in hand we touch the sky
Release those bonds let's break those chains
Let your hearts fly free again
Face to face and eye to eye
Hand in hand we can all touch the sky

We see the future stained in untruth
Shadowing over the eyes of the youth

Dark clouds that fill the horizon with mire
Raining its sorrow on men
Can you feel the sadness of our mother earth
(Alone she cries)
No one can save her, it's too late
Fools cry with their idle words as the children look on
Innocent hearts filled with lasting ideas
Notice their world in decay
Reaching out with their minds
They take the first step
(We take it together)
Little children with understanding
Meek in their helpful ways, they inherit this place

Learn from your yesterdays
Never say it's too late
Together, we save tomorrow

Paradise is in the eyes, eyes of the young
The hands of a child can change history
(We change it together)
Destiny is in the eyes, eyes of the young
It's "never say die" in the eyes of the young

Drinking from streams that are poisoned with waste
You can tell by the taste
Filling rivers with death and their pockets with greed
(A demon seed)
Payoffs are healthy and no word is said
Daddy gets rich and no one asks why his children cry

Learn from your yesterdays
Never say it's too late
Together, we save tomorrow

Paradise is in the eyes, eyes of the young
The hands of a child can change history
(We change it together)
Destiny is in the eyes, eyes of the young
It's "never say die" in the eyes of the young
Paradise is in the eyes, eyes of the young
We see the future stained in untruth
Yet there is hope in the eyes of our youth

The deeds of the young are steadfast and true
Save our mother earth
If you turn your hand she will turn on you
Give of yourself and you get in return
If nothing else you must learn to yourself hold true

Learn from your yesterdays
Never say it's too late
Together, we save tomorrow
It begins with you

Paradise is in the eyes, eyes of the young
The hands of a child can change history
(We change it together)
Destiny is in the eyes, eyes of the young
It's "never say die" in the eyes of the young
Paradise is in the eyes, eyes of the young
The hands of a child can change history
Destiny is in the eyes, eyes of the young
It's "never say die" in the eyes of the young
It's in their eyes - eyes of the young

With the rising of the sun, a new day has begun
A new way for man to live
Hand in hand we walk the mile, day by day knowing all the while
Time will come and with it peace
With just one voice we can make a change
Bond together and rearrange
As one and one and all

Let's pull the curtain down and break the walls between us
Tonight excitement rages on
Nothing can stop this wave, riding on to glory
Nations will sing a different song

We are one with the purpose
Our goals are all the same
To be one and all
Bind our hearts together
We'll find a better way
We are on and all

We are a picture of glory, our colors bright and true
On an artist's palette called this world
And as a brush stroke blends us all together
Another masterpiece unfolds

Light up your lights and hold them high
Each one a flame for freedom's sake
Burning on as far as the eye can see
With just one voice, we can make a change
We'll bond together and rearrange
As one and one and all

On a dark and foggy night the moon hangs high in the sky
Quiet streets leave footstep echoing on in my mind
Something inside of me rages out for release in my soul
Again the full moon tolls

Try to run, try to hide
From the light of the moon
And its curse it holds on me
With its mark I now bear
Since the day of my birth
It changes me - you don't want to see

Small price to pay for release of my soul -
Small price indeed
A dagger of silver plunged in my heart 'tis my solemn release
Seems such a small price to pay

I feel a change begin of which I have no control
That curse full moonlight tearing into my soul
Why was I born with a mark - transforms me into a beast
I suddenly need to feast

Look away, turn and run as fast as you can
Yours might be the next life gone

Small price to pay for release of my soul -
Small price indeed
Shade of red in my eye, there's no turning back
And now like a beast I attack
Small price to pay for release of my soul -
Small price indeed
A dagger of silver plunged in my heart 'tis my solemn release -
Seems such a small price to pay

You hold the key to releasing this spell
Silver dagger in hand you strike the bell
With a shattering scream I bid you farewell

Small price to pay for release of my soul -
Small price indeed
As this mark fades away along with my life
I can't help feeling free again
Small price to pay for release of my soul -
Small price indeed
Now released from this bond that vexed mine so
Though I am gone, I am whole
Small price to pay
Mark my words, I'll live on, wild and free
Now that the beast is unchained from me

What is real? What is a dream
Are dreams and reality one and the same
No more roles for me to play
The curtain falls and darkness takes me away
in a cell I scream all through the night
No one hears my cries
Held prisoner of my own mind
Too blind to see behind my own eyes

Ride the mind's eye
Come balance on the edge of reality
Ride the nightmare
Come open the doors of insanity

Puppets on a string, life is but a dream
Magic in the air, feel it everywhere
What am I to care
Take a ride with me, come along you'll see
Fantasy is real close your eyes and feel
That is if you dare
Anything you want, everything you need
You can have it all, but beware the fall
Back into reality

When the pieces start to fall
Your whole world crumbles away
This time it's gone too far
Unreal thoughts you believe are taking you
Taking you away

In this world of darkness, forever floating on and on
Dreams I experience too strong to control
Lead me on a journey of no return
