Hold on, the king will come
Patience, my little child, time will be on your side
Hope's gone for those who dared to walk out all alone
There's no mercy to be found underneath the desert sun

Hold your head up high
Point the arrows straight at the sky
Hold your head up high

Struggling, battling the enemy within
Dangers lurking in the night hidden to the naked eye

Hold your head up high
Point the arrows straight at the sky
Hold your head up high
Take heed when you do hear my warning!

Comes a time
A clear blue morning
A cloudless sky
A new day dawning

No more fears or illusions
Only love
A brave new world awaiting us

No more wars
when we're through it all
When we're whole and one
there'll be no more aggravation

We're children groping in the dark
Can't even see what's in front of me
I wish upon a shooting star for immortality

A hard rain will begin to fall
We'll be here waiting for the call
Know it won't be very far
Did you see the sign?
Did you see the star?
Keep your eyes on the sky!

Hello my friend, tell me how you been
Have you found the answers to everything?
Have you lived your life well beneath the sun
or have good intentions mostly come undone?

The wheels spinning faster beneath our feet
as we're heading down this destined one way street
The shouting goes on about what's yours or mine
The ringmaster yells that we are out of time

Turn around and you will turn to stone
Don't let it bring you down
Everyone walks alone
Struggling to find out how
to get out alive

We could be anything
so let's try our luck down at the spin and win
Haven't seen you for long
Heaven knows where you have gone
Would the words still ring true?

Did you see what I saw?
Did you hear wherever the call was coming from?
Would your mind be set free
where the river meets the sea?
Would it all come too true
if it all came down to you?

Where would you dare to go?
What would you dare to know?
If it all comes down to you

The writing's on the wall
Babylon will not escape the fall
Knew we could not stay
Had to find a way to leave it all behind
Once we thought that we could have it all
Even thought we could make a deal with God
so we would never die

The water drops upon the rock
until the rock is gone
For every tick there is a tock,
for every right a wrong

The days turn into years
and we're still waiting for wonders to appear
Oh Babylon, oh why?

The water drops upon the rock
until the rock is gone
For every tick there is a tock,
for every right a wrong

The light's getting weaker now
The colours fading into grey
The sentiments are all consumed by one
The air's getting thinner now
Surrendering to the void
What will I be?
Cursed for eternity
until the curtain has fallen down on me?

It seems the walls are crumbling from within
The roof above is starting to fall in
I'm digging holes to bury all my sins
alone

Walk through the hidden door where life has flown
Hold me and don't let go until all the ghosts are gone

It seems the walls are crumbling from within
The roof above is starting to fall in
I keep digging holes to bury all my sins
Soon I'm done

Praying that it will work out ok
Find a rhyme to make it go away
Praying that it will work out ok
