I. Overture (Instrumental)
II. The Dreamer And The Healer So the dream of days has passed you by Fast as lightening flashing in the sky From the dephts you search within the soul While the shadows lead you down below The Dreamer and the Healer Await for you - they wait for you The Caller and Conceiver Believe you will They're calling you Into the blue Like the summer days redeem the time So the winter storms can chill the mind Oceans far away can call you forth While a desperate wind cries from the North The Dreamer and the Healer Await for you - they wait for you The Caller and Conceiver They're with you now You hear the sound They're calling you Into the blue III. A New Beginning Your demons crawl back when the sun rises Feel like a flower in the dirt If you see worries in these blue eyes Those memories hit you where it hurts Now you go throw your newborn hopes in All for a new beginning A blue beginning A new beginning A new beginning And if you find the book of Eli A secret story never told It'll cause you pain much as you realize It was not ready for the world But you throw your hopes in The tried toolbox of deception & tyranny You'll see it works so well It's proven throughout history They lead us on in darkness Just like stupid sheep With every single step We're sinking deeper & deeper IV. Written In Your Heart The Dreamer and the Healer They wait for you They wait for you The Caller and Conceiver They're with you now You hear the sound They call to you Into the blue Clear the way - the highway Move the stones that we might make it through You know it's true There's a breeze that's blowing It will soon be here There's a life that's growing From each desperate tear Just respond to what you feel and be a part 'Til it's written in your heart Leave the rage - the lonely way It takes a warrior to just turn around And feel the flow Sentimental feelings they will come and go There's a deeper meaning if you want to know Let it come and write upon the deepest part 'Til it's written in your heart V. The Dreamer And The Healer (Reprise) So the days have passed into the sun But here you are there's much more to be done Let this massive love consume the whole Let the fire of freedom fill your soul The Dreamer and the Healer They wait for you They wait for you The Caller and Conceiver You hear them sing Awakening The Dreamer (the Dreamer) And the Healer (and the Healer) They wait for you (filling you now) They wait for you (Spirit come down) The Caller and Conceiver Are with us now We know the sound That every dreamer's dream Might come again.... 02. Shine Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Tuesday you're OK
But can't you feel there's something there Waiting like a silent prayer 'Cause this is our fading away And there's nothing we can do Little we can hold on to But to let our lonely light come through And so we Shine While this moment slips away from us Shine while the skies are turning gray And so we Shine Like there's nothing they can take from us We want no one left behind While we Shine, Shine, Shine The spotlight's on you But can't you feel there's something more Breaking just beyond the door If the light of the world lives in you Then no matter where you go You can let the darkness know There's a little light left in your soul And so we Shine While this moment slips away from us Shine while the skies are turning gray And so we Shine Like there's nothing they can take from us The love leaves none behind While we Shine, Shine, Shine Shine, Shine, Shine (repeat x3) 2 words away None safe to say Souls fly away somehow Day after day So many fall away So let's shine the way now And so we Shine While this moment slips away from us Shine while the skies are turning gray And so we Shine 'Cause there's nothing they can take from us This love leaves none behind When we Shine, Shine, Shine Shine, Shine, Shine (repeat x2) Watch 'em shine Watch 'em shine for you (The dreamer and the healer They wait for you The dreamer and the healer They wait for you) 03. Black As The Sky Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
Like a fool with blinders on you
View this world as ruled by kings But what if they're puppets like you and I And the world belongs to a few? As they soon hit the peak, the top of a pyramid They find themselves embracing the darkness Sworn to silence And the world is "in order" anew Defining their ways right into your homes With the old wicked lies A game for the few - They tell who will live They tell who will die At the heart of their home it's black as the sky At the end of the day they say there is no way out No peace in sight - none leaves alive The world is on fire And the weapon wrangler he thrives Can you tell who they are? Are you ready to follow trails? Go follow the money It'll lead you right, right to the darkest pit And a rage over all that's denied Defining their ways right into your homes With the old wicked lies A game for the few - They tell who will live They tell who will die You pray for some justice, but no one can hear So you look to the skies Are you one of the puppets? Black as the sky Looking up at the skyline Towering blocks and shards of glass Catch your eye Bright as the stars on a dark moonless night Black as the sky in the broad daylight It's the end of the road Here the darkness unfolds Keep your eye on the light And hold your head high They're finding their way into your homes But their face is unseen Their heart is unknown Defining their ways right into your homes In the absence of light A game for the few - They tell who will live They tell who will die You pray for some justice But no one can hear So you look to the skies Are you one of the puppets? Black as the sky 04. Beyond The Sun Music & lyrics by Neal Morse
Somewhere beyond the sun
I'll hear your voice again When these few days are gone I'll see you smile again And we will live forever When all is joined together And we will live each day beyond the sun Beyond the sun Up we come then blink our eyes and down we go And much of life we barely understand Touching down our spirits sing And then we're gone Leaving just a hand print in the sand But somewhere beyond the sun I'll hear your voice again When these few days are gone I'll see you smile again And we will live forever Where all is joined together And we will live each day beyond the sun And we will come as children Like music from the heavens And I will see your face Beyond the sun Beyond the sun Beyond the sun 05. Kaleidoscope Music & lyrics by Transatlantic
I. Overture (Instrumental)
II. Ride The Lightning Lift - Lift me high Teach me why I've been born in a world of pain So confused in a masquerade Some give a smile while they hold a blade So I rain - so far away Night turned to desolation days Raining down - so out of phase Then came the silver lightning days High as the winds of yesterday As the mountains melt away While we're walking on a wire Lost in a world that's worlds away We will ride the lightning day As we set our souls on fire Ride it out Ride the lightning Race - Race the sky Wind me up Get all cranked on the world stage That north wind buzzin' by Find yourself in a corporate high But you're crackin' up Breaking down Your best friends have all left you now There's no stance left to take Maybe it was all just a big mistake High as the winds of yesterday As the mountains melt away While we're walking on a wire Lost in a world that's worlds away We will ride the lightning day As we set our souls on fire Let's ride it out Ride the lightning Ride the lightning III. Black Gold There is no place too hot To mine the blackest gold You gave her birth And now you watch her growing old If life is leaving tomorrow We'll turn our backs to all sorrow And in a dancing ghost town That's the end of story You watch the crops keep dying And people pray for rain Seeing all the blood and blackness Running in her veins In desert towns lies the panic The piercing sun beats satanic And still we're drowning in a flood That sees no end The river flows - Black as gold That river glows - Taint your soul (repeat x1) And so the king of karma lost his only son You haven't lived in full Until you've tried that once The sacrifice is just massive The hurt is fast and aggressive If you unearth the darkness You must pay the price! The river flows - Black as gold That river glows - Taint your soul (repeat x1) IV. Walking The Road Many days I've wondered far and wide It's just me and my pride This planet's so wide and there's nowhere to hide From myself And many moons I've gazed on High and low While I'm searching my soul This land is so vast yet I still see my past In myself As I look to the sky in wonder At this mystical map that we're under What should I do now and where do I find how To find myself define myself As I walk this road will I ever Find that solution to my resolution And as I take each step will there be that Real comprehension of my redemption What should I do now and where do I find how To find myself Define myself........ V. Desolation Days High on a hill there sits a man Who is watching himself Wondering what is the truth he lives inside Breaking asunder His castle melts into sand He sits in the wreckage he made with his Own hands Out of the cry of every pain From the realm of doubt and shame Where we sink in dust and mire There in our desolation days Where the heart sick human race Seeks to fill its own desires We can ride it out Ride the lightning Where are you now? Are you just grasping for gold rings while you can Hoping to make it into fulfillment land But it's never coming Not that way my friend But there is still time You can change your life again Out of the cry of every pain From the realm of doubt and shame That's where God will life us higher There in our desolation days From the well of wisdom's place We will drink our true desire And all will be made right Just ride the lightning VI. Lemon Looking Glass (Instrumental) VII. Ride The Lightning (Reprise) High as the winds of yesterday As our fear is washed away We'll be walking through the fire There on the mountain we will sing As His life fills everything We will live our true desire Let's ride it out Ride the lightning 06. And You And I Music by Bill Bruford, Steve Howe, Chris Squire Lyrics by Jon Anderson
I. Cord of Life
A man conceived a moment's answers to the dream, Staying the flowers daily sensing all the themes, As a foundation left to create the spiral aim, A movement regained and regarded both the same, All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you. Changed only for a sight of sound the space agreed Between the picture of time behind the face of need. Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid Emotion revealed as the ocean maid All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you. Coins and crosses never Turn round tailor assaulting all Know their fruitless worth The mornings of the interest shown, Cords are broken, locked Presenting one another to the Inside the mother Earth Cord, all left dying, rediscovered They won't hide hold Of the door, that turned round to close Watching the world, Turn to one another, to the sign Watching all of the world, At the time Watching us go by. Float your climb And you and I climb over the sea to the valley, And you and I reached out for reasons to call. II. Eclipse Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid, Emotion revealed as the ocean maid As a movement regained and regarded both the same, All complete in the side of seeds of life with you. III. The Preacher the Teacher Sad preacher nailed upon the colour door of time, Insane teacher be there reminded of the rhyme, There'll be no mutant enemy we shall certify. Political ends, as sad remains will die. Reach out as forward tastes begin to enter you. I listened hard but could not see Life tempo change out and inside me. The preacher trained in all to lose his name, The teacher travels asking to be shown the same. In the end, we'll agree, we'll accept, we'll immortalise That the truth of the man maturing in his eyes All complete in the sight of seeds of life with you. Coming quickly to terms of all expression laid, As a moment regained and regarded both the same Emotion revealed as the ocean maid A clearer future, morning, evening, nights with you. IV. Apocalypse And you and I climb crossing the shapes of the morning, And you and I reach over the sun for the river, And you and I climb, clearer, towards the movement, And you and I called over valleys of endless seas. 07. I Can't Get It Out of My Head Music & lyrics by Jeff Lynne
Midnight on the water
I saw the ocean's daughter Walking on a wave's chicane Staring as she called my name And I can't get it out of my head No, I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head Breakdown on the shoreline Can't move, it's an ebb tide Morning don't get here till night Searching for her silver light And I can't get it out of my head No, I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no, no Bank job in the city Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don't envy me, yeah Sitting till the sun goes down In dreams the world keeps going 'round and 'round And I can't get it out of my head No, I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no, no Oh, I can't get it out of my head No, I can't get it out of my head Now my old world is gone for dead 'Cause I can't get it out of my head, no, no, no, no 08. Conquistador Music & lyrics by Gary Brooker, Keith Reid
Conquistador your stallion stands
In need of company And like some angel's haloed brow You reek of purity I see your armour-plated breast Has long since lost its sheen And in your death mask face There are no signs which can be seen And though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind Conquistador a vulture sits Upon your silver shield And in your rusty scabbard now The sand has taken seed And though your jewel-encrusted blade Has not been plundered still The sea has washed across your face And taken of its fill And though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind Conquistador there is no time I must pay my respect And though I came to jeer at you I leave now with regret And as the gloom begins to fall I see there is no, only all And though you came with sword held high You did not conquer, only die And though I hoped for something to find I could see no maze to unwind 09. Goodbye Yellow Brick Road Music by Elton John Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
When are you gonna come down?
When are you going to land? I should have stayed on the farm I should have listened to my old man You know you can't hold me forever I didn't sign up with you I'm not a present for your friends to open This boy's too young to be singing the blues Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah So goodbye, yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny-back toad Oh, I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah What do you think you'll do then I bet they'll shoot down the plane It'll take you a couple of vodka and tonics To set you on your feet again Maybe you'll get a replacement There's plenty like me to be found Mongrels, who ain't got a penny Sniffing for tidbits like you, on the ground Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah So goodbye, yellow brick road Where the dogs of society howl You can't plant me in your penthouse I'm going back to my plough Back to the howling old owl in the woods Hunting the horny-back toad Oh, I've finally decided my future lies Beyond the yellow brick road Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah Ah-ah-ah, ah 10. Tin Soldier Music & lyrics by Ronnie Lane, Steve Marriott
I am a little tin soldier
That wants to jump into your fire You are a look in your eye A dream passing by in the sky I don't understand All I need is treat me like a man 'Cause I ain't no child Take me like I am I got to know that I belong to you Do anything that you want to do Sing any song that you want me to sing to you I don't need no aggravation I just got to make you I just got to make you my occupation I got to know that I belong to you Do anything that you want to do Sing any song that you want me to sing to you All I need is your whispered hello Smiles melting the snow nothing heard Your eyes are deeper than time Say a love that won't rhyme without words So now I've lost my way I need help to show me things to say Give me your love before mine fades away I got to know that I belong to you Do anything that you want to do Sing any song that you want me to sing to you Oh no no I just want some reaction Someone to give me satisfaction All I want to do is stick with you 'Cause I love you 11.

12. Indiscipline Music by Adrian Belew, Robert Fripp, Tony Levin, Bill Bruford Lyrics by Adrian Belew
I do remember one thing... It took hours and hours,
and by the time I was done with it, I was so involved I didn't know what to think... I carried it around with me for days and days, playing little games, like not looking at it for a whole day, and then... looking at it, to see if I still liked it... I did ! I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat myself when under stress. I repeat.. the more I look at it, the more I like it... I do think it's good... the fact is no matter how closely I study it, no matter how I take it apart, no matter how I break it down, It remains consistent... I wish you were here to see it ! I like it ! 13. Nights In White Satin Music & lyrics by Justin Hayward
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end Letters I've written Never meaning to send Beauty I'd always missed With these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say anymore 'Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how, I love you Gazing at people Some hand in hand Just what I'm going thru They can understand Some try to tell me Thoughts they cannot defend Just what you want to be You will be in the end And I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how, I love you Oh, how, I love you Nights in white satin Never reaching the end Letters I've written Never meaning to send Beauty I'd always missed With these eyes before Just what the truth is I can't say anymore 'Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how, I love you Oh, how, I love you 'Cause I love you Yes, I love you Oh, how, I love you Oh, how, I love you |
