So after all these one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand A child alone On your own Retreating Regretful for the things you're not And all dreams you haven't got Without a home A heart of stone Lies bleeding And for all the roads you followed And for all you did not find And for all the things you had to leave behind I am the way I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Don't turn away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave All I ask of you Believe Your childhood eyes were so intense While bartering your innocence For bits of string Grown-up wings You needed But when you had to add them up You found that they were not enough To get you in Pay for sins repeated And for all the years you borrowed And for all the tears you cried And for all the fears you had to keep inside I am the way I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Don't turn away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave And all I ask of you is Believe I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time Till time wasted me Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay 'Cause the person I am Are the parts that I play So I plot and I plan Hope and I scheme To the lure of a night Filled with unfinished dreams And I'm holding on tight To a world gone astray As they charge me for years I can't pay I am the way I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Don't turn away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave And all I ask of you is Believe Believe |

Hey you
She's gonna get you If you go walking by This corner slow Don't think she's gonna let you leave Just because you want to go Boy you Ain't seen nothing yet It's a long train of regret Puppets get No second chance Pull that string They gotta dance Parellel addiction is A double crucifixion When you're always out there Feeding your head Always channel surfing cause Your brain it isn't working When you're looking for That moment just remember Don't look Don't stray Don't talk it over No time No way Listen to me I'm cold sober You're just out there Taunting cobras Hey you Who's gonna warn you When it's something You don't want to know Don't think It won't deform you Twist your mind Then let it go Boy you Ain't seen nothing yet It's a long train of regret Puppets get No second chance Pull that string They gotta dance Welcome to the prison Let me tell ya What you're missing I've been coming here For nearly a year Out there was my corner 'Till I came in for a water Mixed with whiskey And a chaser of Sideways glances Don't look Don't stray Don't talk it over No time No way Listen to me I'm cold sober You're just out there Taunting cobras Don't look Don't stray Don't talk it over No time No way Listen to me I'm cold sober You're just out there Taunting cobras |

He was standing all alone
Trying to find the words to say When every prayer he ever prayed was gone And the dreams he's never owned Are still safely tucked away Until tomorrow he just carries on Carries on Carries on Carries on See the devil on the streets at night See him running in the pouring rain See him grinning 'neath a twisted light I'll be back again See the people standing in a row See them nodding like a field of grain No one sees the sickle though Coming 'cross the plain And this he knows, if nothing more That waiting in the dark like destiny Are those who kiss the dogs of war And there is no tomorrow, no tomorrow Take a chance Take a, take a chance yeah See the devil he is so intense See the devil go and change his name What's the going price of innocence It can't be the same Is it dark when the moon is down Is it dark with a single flame If there's glass falling all around I am not to blame And this he knows, if nothing more That waiting in the dark like destiny Are those who kiss the dogs of war And there is no tomorrow, no tomorrow Take a chance Take a, take a chance yeah Take a chance Take a, take a chance oh yeah Burn the night away Burn the night away Burn the night... Pictures at an exhibition Played as he stood In his trance Staring at his inhibitions All the time believing That it now came down to nothing but this chance Chance Chance Chance I fear you Your silence Your blindness See what you want to see In darkness One kindness One moment Tell me what you believe I believe in nothing Never really had to In regards to your life Rumors that are not true Who's defending evil Surely never I Who would be the witness Should you chance to die Father can you hear me This is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other's destiny (simultaneously - add a new stanza each time throughand continue as a round) Father can you hear me This is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other's destiny I believe that situations All depend on circumstance Look away Look away Pictures at an exhibition Played as he stood In his trace Staring at his inhabitions All the time believing That it now came down to Nothing but this chance |

In the town of Sarajevo, there's an old medieval square
There's a church aside one corner most believe was always there It was built a thousand years before any now were born And its glory was its belfry with its stones all gray... and worn Now there's a gargoyle on that belfry and he's been up there for years And he has watched and he has pondered: "What is laughter, what are tears?" And he's never found his answers as he sees the years go by But he watches and he wonders with his stone unblinking eyes |

Watching in silence, I hesitate: It was not in the plans
All of our lives we could only wait: It was out of our hands And every war where we took the day, it was all in our heads And though in the dark we dream at night, they were better unsaid But this is the time and this is the place And these are the signs that we must embrace The moment is now, in all history The time has arrived and this is the one place to be Yeah, yeah We placed our years in the hourglass, they were never unearned And we seemed destined to watch them pass - it was never our turn But this is the time and this is the place And these are the signs that we must embrace The moment is now, in all history The time has arrived and this is the one place to be Yeah, yeah This is the time and this is the place And these are the signs that we must embrace The moment is now, in all history The time has arrived and this is the one place to be Yeah, yeah |

We dared to ask for more
But that was long before the nights began to burn You would have thought we'd learned You can't make promises all based upon tomorrow Happiness, security are words we only borrowed For is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant The future couldn't last, we nailed it to the past With every word a trap that no one can take Back from all the architects who find their towers leaning And every prayer we pray at night has somehow lost its meaning For is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant A long time ago when the world was pretty Standing right here in a different city They're not coming back any more They're not coming back any... Is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant |

An offering of reasons
We put them all away A covering of treasons That one by one we let slip away A solitary dancer So lost upon her stage I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore A study made of winter Of summers long ago And dreams that use to glitter Safely now hidden under snow And so we end this chapter And let the stage lights fade I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore |

Another sleepless night
A concrete paradise Sirens screaming in the heat Neon cuts the eye As the jester sighs At the world beneath his feet It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light Balanced on their knives Little parts of lives Such a strange reality Kill the unicorn Just to have its horn Soon he's just a fantasy It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light The jester takes his bows Slips into the crowd As the actors fade away Another death to mourn Another child is born Another chapter in the play It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light |

On the sea
They heard the voices sing Through the storm The island's closing in They'd heard tales Of lives lost at sea Deserted beach just beyong their reach You're approaching the island of the Sirens Sirens Hungry for man tonight Sirens Sirens Claiming the sailors' lives Nine men made it to a shore A night of terror Lies neatly in store Who are those women? Are they real? Is this just a crazy dream? You're approaching the island of the Sirens Sirens Hungry for flesh tonight Sirens Sirens Claiming the sailors' lives Terror happens quickly Remains till the sailor are gone They vanished in the night Sirens singing their song Whoa--till they're gone... ALL RIGHT!! |

Far away
In a land caught between Time and space Where the books of life lay We fear This castle of stone The mountain king roams All alone in here But he's not the only one Lost inside Forever hidden from the sun Madness reigns In the Hall of the Mountain King Oh yeah His deep Dark eyes Keep watch on his kingdom And the mysteries that sleeps safe inside His hall His towers of stone Shall not be overthrown For eternity It is guarded by the king Insanity and the power that it brings Madness reigns In the Hall of the Mountain King Oh yeah In the Hall of the Mountain King Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah Come with me Stay close by my side As the darkness of night closes in Don't fear In the thunder, it roars When the Mountain King calls all his children home To where I hid him we must run Refuge(?) here but I was forever on the run Madness reigns [my friends] In the Hall of the Mountain King Oh yeah In the Hall of the Mountain King Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah |

You were never one for waiting
Still I always thought you'd wait for me And have you from your dreams awakened And from where you are what do you see Which of us is now in exile Which in need of amnesty Are you now but an illusion In my mind alone you breathe You believed in things that I will never know You were out there drowning but it never showed Till inside a rainswept night you just let go You've thrown it all away And now we'll never see the ending to the play The grand design, the final line And what was meant to be In the dark a distant runner Now has disappeared into the night Leaving us to stand and wonder Staring from this end into your life You believed in things that I will never know You were out there drowning but it never showed 'Til inside a rainswept night you just let go You've thrown it all away And now we'll never see the ending to the play The grand design, the final line And what was meant to be And if this is all illusion Nothing more than pure delusion Clinging to a fading fantasy Like Icarus who heeds the calling Of a sun but now is falling As the feathers of his life fall free Can you see See Tomorrow and after You tell me what am I to do I stand here believing That in the dark there is a clue Perhaps inside this midnight sky Perhaps tomorrow's newborn eyes Or could it be, we'll never know And after all this was the show What am I to do Gotta get back Gotta get back Gotta get back What am I to do Gotta get back Gotta get back Gotta get back What am I to do Standing on a dream isn't what it seems Could we then reclaim a dream refused Knowing what we know could we let it go Realizing that all the years are used Tomorrow and after You tell me what am I to do I stand here believing That in the dark there is a clue I am the way, I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Tomorrow and after You tell me what am I to do I stand here believing That in the dark there is a clue |
