In the darkness I rise, long before
The dawn I was dreaming of home and the life I Led But now I hear the sound of the engines Roar And I crave the embrace of my Empty bed Where I'm safe (there I'm safe) But the call is clear, and the task is Set And my enemies wait in the dark sky Do they fear the same fear, Do they dream like us And do they long for the day when it's Over And they're safe Now we're cruising above the horizon Never knowing if we will return In a moment we'll loose the Destruction And we'll justify all that we burn Here the air is cold, but my thoughts Are clear And so I'm wondering why I must be Here For the evil that can come, From the heart of a man Must be answered in kind 'til it Disappears And we're safe Now we're cruising above the horizon Never knowing if we will return In a moment we'll rain down Destruction And we'll justify all that we burn Here they come I'm dodging all the tracers, sky is full of Lead I can see the pilots' faces Safety in our numbers, eagles Overhead We are in the sight of aces Flak, bursting all around Friends, going down in flames And now we're hit, it's happened This is what I feared Something's telling me my time has Come Though it should be panic, I can feel A peace Strangely, now I know my purpose... Hey boys! Hey, get out while you Can I'll try to take us home I'm going home... |

It's been a long and amazing time, how it's wasted is such a crime
And the stories we heard still echo in the distance Filled with promises and pain, we had everything to gain But the pride that comes before a fall is with us Lights are on and nobody's home, we've gone from color to monochrome Like some faded photograph with ghostly faces Whether enemy or a friend, it's the message that we send We will never change without until we change within Chorus: Back when the world was so young (when the world was young) To the day when the first song was sung (when the world was young) We chose our own way to black, white or gray When the world was young Are we learning from the past or has it all been already cast Who can change the course of a war against all reason There was one prevailing wind and we said we've got to make a stand And now the barrier's between us for a treason |

I got an attitude, it's a little rude
A humdinger I'm in a dangerous place; I need to win the race It's a dead ringer I'm on a windin' road; I got an overload It's a redline Life is movin' fast But it can never last When everything's so fine Grand fun... grand fun alley I'm having so much fun Grand fun... grand fun alley Here in the alley Ain't had my fill of fun; I'm underneath the gun Time is flyin' If you pass me by, You know I can't deny That I'm still tryin' There's a turn ahead; I'm runnin' out of lead Feel like retreating And the fuel gauge is down; I'm gettin' out of town Can't take a beating Grand fun... grand fun alley I'm back in the alley again Grand fun... grand fun alley Here at the end of time Grand fun... grand fun alley I'm still havin' so much fun Grand fun... grand fun alley I'm back in the alley If you wait too long, You can't afford the wrong It's a doozy When the times are good, They still cut you down Just like an Uzi If the price is high, You better look to the sky 'Cause there's a call in Everything's gonna change; It's getting very strange So take it all in Grand fun... grand fun alley I'm havin' so much fun Grand fun... grand fun alley I'm kicking back in the alley again Grand fun... grand fun alley Here at the end of time Grand fun... grand finale I'm back in the alley (instrumental to fade out) |

Upon the page, symbolic form,
Both a miracle and yet the norm The functions clear, Sum and difference will soon Transform Equations chain, lies in His hand, Voice authority will dance command Solution's true, line of measure will Divide, expand Myriad, see the numbers as they're Counting down Thousands and thousands Myriad, form and function to display The sound Line upon line every melody points The way The cycle turns, like Heaven's gate, Unknown integers predestinate Calculating all we must explore, and Navigate Quantities no man can know, No formula to wield No pages left to turn, No choices but to yield |

Look at the time
Slipping by as if we never knew it at all Glancing around Seeing faces so familiar, I should recall Seems we should know; Where do they go? I wanted you to know... It's waiting (spoken) Year after year I get used to feelings that were not there before What do we fear? Setting off to find ourselves on some distant shore Seems we should know; Where do we go? I wanted you to know... Still waiting (spoken) In the spotlight (drifting, moving) It's a sad sight (testing, proving) Like a fading glory (every word) In the twilight (we're shifting, losing) Doesn't seem right (gaining, choosing) Can this be the story? (what we've heard) Look at these days Flyin' by so fast it makes my head turn around Long as I gaze It's hard to find an open door that's on solid ground Seems we should feel All that is real I wanted you to know... Still waiting (spoken) (instrumental to fade out) |

I'm livin' above the fault line
Like a bird up on a wire I come in from the cold at night And I stand next to the fire Now, most times I can win one but someday I could lose Then I'll have to start all over again And shake off all these blues 'Cause you tore down all the fences And you put me in the clear Then I left my old skin behind And I started to disappear Now there's something in the kitchen And it's cookin' mighty fine There's a good one in the oven And I'm sure gonna get in line In the interest of my nutrition I'm about to take the plunge I'm gonna take the whole thing in And I'm gonna soak it up like a sponge Need a map with new direction And a compass for the turn Then I'll take that drink of water and let the old one burn Oh, how you move me, You turn me 'round Nothing to hold me down Just like a magnet You pull me in Got my instant reservation When I'm feelin' empty You make me full More love than I'll ever hold You touch me right where my heart is dull I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear I open the box and look inside And I don't like what I see I turn the key and take a ride In a wind that's blowin' free In the interest of my education I'm about to read the book Then I'll open my eyes in the morning And I'll take another look Need a map with new directions And a compass for the turn Then I'll take that drink of water and let the old one burn Oh, how you move me, You turn me 'round Nothing to hold me down Just like a magnet You pull me in Got my instant reservation When I'm feelin' empty You make me full More love than I'll ever hold You touch me right where my heart is dull I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear (instrumental) Oh, how you move me, You turn me 'round Nothing to hold me down Just like a magnet You pull me in Got my instant reservation When I'm feelin' empty You make me full More love than I'll ever hold You touch me right where my heart is dull I'm gonna shed this skin and disappear (instrumental to fade out) |

On a night as I lay sleeping, in a dream I
saw the shore of a distant land where/ Promise lay in wait/ And I heard the sound of voices of a million hungry souls/ Now it comes to me to lead them to the gate But I am just a man, not worthy of this plan / With a strength that's not my own, Imust rise And I...will bear the light, ( and the vision leads me onward) / That blind....men have their sight / I'd sail a thousand seas to make it so To the Kings I gave the mission, in the hope that they would share / In the joy of setting countless captives free / But the lust for Gold and power, is luring us away / From a calling that began in purity And 'm still just a man, not worthy of this plan / With a strength that's not my own, I must rise Now a tempest rages in my heart, as this fever furies on / Soon these islands promise rest and hope, my answers wait beyond their shore / Dream on... Hungry eyes are standing on the sand, they beckon us to bring the tide / Sovereign hand must hold me now, I plead with you / Be my soloace and my guide...by my side And I...will walk with you / On the shores of the land ofpromise / That blind...men see you too / I'd sail a thou- sand seas to make it so |

City resting on a hill
Can your walls repel the tide of change Under Pantocrator's rule Did your golden domes reveal The frailty of the consequence The conqueror was real Where the Emperor once reigned Only shadows of the glories remain No one sings your plaintive song Of the Kontakion strain Echoing through heaven's gate Too lovely to sustain We're looking back to see your frescoed walls Where is the road that takes us to Byzantium Once your borders had no end And your dream was like a shining light To the nations you surround Did your golden domes reveal The frailty of the consequence The conqueror was real We're looking back to see your frescoed walls Where is the road that takes us to Byzantium... We're looking back to see your frescoed walls Where is the road that takes us to Byzantium... |
