Dreams that have melted now frozen like statues Under the surface here lies the unknown Love has a way of disguising it? purpose Seeing your pain my hand goes out to you You should have known better than to trust him How the pain shines through your eyes Nothing hits harder than a crime of the heart It breaks you up and it tears you apart You just want to die, you?e been so abused Now you know how it feels to be used Nothing hurts harder than a crime of the heart I? such a fool, I should have known from the start I saw it coming and I feel I? to blame But love don? give in I watch your face as you stare into distance Eyes filled with tears that look so far away Deep in your heart can you feel a resistance ? Love it just happens there? no-one to blame You should have known better than to sacrifice The stained-glass soul you hide Nothing hits harder than a crime of the heart It? the kind of feeling that pulls you apart There? nowhere to run, there? nothing to say You never knew that you could feel this way Nothing hurts harder than a crime of the heart I could have told you he was wrong from the start I? not guilty, but I feel I? too blame My love won? give in Crime of the heart |

You're leaving now It's in your eyes There's no disguising it It really comes as no surprise To find that you planned it all along I see it now Become so clear Your insincerity And me all starry-eyed You'd think that I would have known by now Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky This lie is over Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over Only time will tell One thing is sure That time will tell Only time will tell If you were wrong The brightest ring around the moon Will darken when I die Now sure as the sun will cross the sky The lying's over Gone, like the tears that used to tide me over ( ) Only time will tell I see it now Become so clear Only time will tell Your insincerity And me all starry-eyed You'd think that I would have known by now ( ) Only time will tell You're on your own Inside your room Only time will tell You're claiming victory You were just using me And there is no one you can use now Only time will tell One thing is sure... |

The door swings open but you won't go it You hate the movie that you haven't seen You couldn't see what I have in mind I see you laughing but you're Cutting it, cutting it fine You never should have done those things to me There's one thread left 'tween you and history And while our temperature is rising high I'm warning you that you are Cutting it, cutting it fine Cutting it, cutting it fine... You gambled all on one important game Now take the debt and don't complain Your game was up, I saw it all the time I saw that vice, girl, you're Cutting it, cutting it fine Your sole advisor watch out for yourself You never listen to anyone else You were the one who ignored the signs Dancing on a fine line Cutting it, cutting it fine Cutting it, cutting it fine... |

I never meant to be so bad to you One thing I said that I would never do One look from you and I would fall from grace And that would wipe this smile right from my face Do you remember when we used to dance And incidence arose from circumstance One thing lead to another we were young And we would scream together songs unsung It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes And now you find yourself in 82 The disco hotspots hold no charm for you You can't concern yourself with bigger things You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings It was the heat of the moment Heat of the moment Heat of the moment shone in your eyes And when your looks are gone and you're alone How many nights you sit beside the phone What were the things you wanted for yourself Teenage ambition you remember well It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes It was the heat of the moment Heat of the moment Heat of the moment shone in your eyes Heat of the moment Heat of the moment Heat of the moment |

All through the winter I thought I'd never see you again Oh God where were you when I needed you I know that you, no, you would never have betrayed me I thought I'd die, why? All the reasons still evade me But you're back {chorus} Now I can see you Now I can feel you Now that I want you Now I can touch you Next to me Here it comes Here comes the feeling Here comes that same old feeling Here comes the feeling Here comes that same old feeling This is for real, I never felt so good before I see the world through different eyes Now that you're back, nothing in the least can overcome me Misery gone, plus all the doubt that overran me But you're back {chorus} {repeat first verse} {chorus} |

Loneliness, a constant friend and lover I know well Crowded rooms the iron bar That surround me Trying hard to catch your eye Just once, you see Knowing from this moment if you did We could be {chorus} One step closer Closer than we are One step closer Closer than before So many lines, you've heard them all A lie in every one From men who never understand Your personality And though we never even met No talking needs to be done The hum of conversation will disolve you Into me {chorus x2} {chorus} |

They decorated all the generals Who fought the wars behind the lines They had forgotten all the soldiers The brandy put them way behind the times Insanity has found its way to TV screens Vision seems impossible to me They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country I never would have thought this in my {chorus} Wildest dreams Wildest dreams Wildest dreams Wildest dreams The evening comes, we sit and watch the VJs Clips and rushes come from who knows where From Washington across to California With fighting breaking out in Leicester Square We see the soldiers moving on to victory And children trampled under marching feet They fight {they fight} for king {for king} and country How many millions will they put to sleep? {chorus} Fly away... No, not in this world No, not in the next No, not in my wildest dreams They recommended euthanasia For non-conformists anywhere Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares This never would have happened in my {chorus} Fly away...

Gazing at our sunrise Reflected in your clear eyes Misty morning forest smoke fires Make our way through the broken day I couldn't stand to stay Without you We must keep moving While the light is clearing Leaving your dark world behind you You have to run Life is just begun I'll never be alone Without you One chilling thought Come screaming through the dark I saw a yellow moon at midnight And now you woke Glowing in the smoke I'm suddenly alone Without you Wanting things the way they used to be You don't know what that can do to me One more day, maybe never Might as well be forever Outside the light,fading as I write And another night reminds me As I sleep, memory that I keep It's just another night Without you It seems so long I've been holding on Since I felt my arms around you Time will go, both of us will know Never be a day Without you |

Wetton/Downes) I don't want to see your picture On a faded video I don't want to turn the clock back To the way it used to go Can you give me any reasons Why I made this sacrifice? When you thought you walked on water You were skating on thin ice 'Cause we don't see EYE TO EYE 'Cause we don't see EYE TO EYE I don't want to be memory Just another Anglophile I would never learn your language Could it be there's no more time? Is there any reason talking 'Bout your crazy point of view? You can't even try to answer The questions that I put to you 'Cause we don't see EYE TO EYE 'Cause we don't see EYE TO EYE |

Go
by Asia Dig for victory, go for gold I don't wanna die before I get old And I wonder where I'm going to There's some way out, there's some way through But I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm down again My direction is changing, which way, Which way can I go... Get up and go You start me up, you slow me down No one can deny you get around When you're hot, you're cold, you're in between Asking myself what does it mean? And I walk that tightrope, you should know I'm losing my balance, maybe, Maybe I should go... Get up and go Face to face in sympathy But now you turn your back on me Turn a card and win, but you may lose Fate only has that right to choose If you're right, leave me here, I'll die alone You've got the time, you've just got time You got the time just go...

Things like: i'm gonna stay with you forever Will always echo in my head Don't call me, don't call me, no more If this plane ride lasts forever I couldn't quite get over you We spent too much time together I can't believe we're through Don't call me, don't call me, no more |

Hold your head as you sleep How can I close my eyes watching you Such a fever inside from emotions within Burning the night with the truth Sweetest poison - positive attraction Raging in my mind CHORUS Oh if you walk away You?l take the life from me Oh if you walk away You?l take the air I breathe Life would be lonely More than you?l never know ?os you?e put all heaven on earth I hear the sound of your voice On the breath of the wind I feel the touch of an angel Next to my skin It cuts so deep inside It draws out the life Harder with every time Sweetest poison - positive attraction Raging in my mind CHORUS |

We used to live in a better world
Where sky and water were free We point the finger We point the gun Is that the way it should be ? We rape the land And we tear the skin Burn the blood in the stone To fuel the fire of a selfish mind Do you want to live here alone ? CHORUS Lay down your arms - surrender You know you?l never get out of here Lay down your arms - remember No force - you? better lay down your gun Such are the sins of humanity Dark is the air that we breath A war to hide in society Don? close your eyes to deceive Too many promises Too many tears Where does the future lie If we burn away the years We can make this a better world Where sky and water are free So give the hand without the gun That? the way it will be CHORUS |

Tired and washed out by the pain Do we share this problem, will it slip away ? Or do we fight another day ? Was I looking for a friend ?

This problem is insoluble
The answers seem impossible The logic ceases to exit Emotion is the beat we miss I stand on a world Where dreams, realities, existence are the same We take from our mother? skin But the world is not to blame Who tells the wind which way to blow ? I wonder who will stop the rain The rocks that hold the secrets, they don? know So who can stop the rain ? We?e lost the path for all we know Now tell me when will it start again ? And as the old man lifts his hands Please can you stop the rain Stars fall far away Like they never did before A new moon shining Like it never will again Desert white cloud Spirits they sing Rain falls from the big sky Onto broken wing There is no sense in turning back To wash the d?bris from the track World without reason without rhyme We fought for peace within our time |

As a child, we played the game
Fought the war, but felt no pain Arm to arm, we left the skin THen said the words, remember them Oh, never a moments doubt Oh, feel it, scream it loud Chorus: Anytime that you call Anytime if you fall Anytime I'll be there for you Any moment of fear Anytime say the prayer Swear that our word is true Should I go Should I stay? I won't turn my head away Cross the line, the great divide So kill the silence, where we hide Oh, never a moments doubt Oh, feel it so scream it loud Chorus If clouds fall, stand tall As mountains climb from endless sea Call out, fear not Bring back that memory Chorus |

Head low To cross the borderline That only you know Then inside your room You'll show The man you did not want to be Chorus: Are you big enough? Are you losing your touch?

From the very first rush
To the very last sigh In a moment's touch To the whole of time Be the secrets of pain Kiss the tears that you cry Just to hold without Get to touch within From the sound of your breath To the taste of your skin I'd give all my days Just for one of your nights I've just got to get next to you Let it out, let it go Chorus: Desire, make it physical Looks to feed the thrill Desire, with its hungry eyes Closing for the kill Desire, all that's left in me Tears the night in two Desire, like a primitive Claw my way to you Are you thinking of me Like I'm thinking of you? How the innocence dies In a passionate stare A shaft of light A silent dare The call of the wild... From the very first crime Of original sin To the carnal lie Where the truth begins Just to feel your nails Lift me up like wings I've just got to get next to you Let it out, let it go Chorus |

It's the same now every day Sign your name and number Cutting from the ball and chain Never letting go when The weight was so deceiving Treading on a turning wheel Machinery is screaming Shoulder to the stone again Praying for the evening Hiding as the fist hits steel Chorus: Enough's enough It's eye to eye Enough's enough We cry Enough's enough Of smoke and steel Enough's enough Of turning this wheel Looking at his picture Steel did turn the skin to bone Father I remember The hands that had to break the stone Chorus |

Feel my mind, the sleep is ending
As we rush into the sea Take my eyes, and I will show you The future in the deep You must breathe on You must be strong Am I right to fight the distance As we push against the tide? You must breathe on You must be strong Rushing through my head, I can touch the thunder Lighting up the mind, as the wind blows stronger Pushing back the sea, as the storm is calling on Louder than before, in the raging river Faster than the stream, will it last forever? Holding back the time, as the world stops turning Feels like love... Tell me, does it feel like love? We look to the sky, to the statue of hope She is holding the flame, as the island awoke To the city of dreams, where the angel still sleeps See the satellites glow as they rise from the sea Feels like love... Tell me, does it feel like love? |

On the trade winds, across stormy seas. They are many, please believe me, There's something to find, There's someplace here deep inside of my mind. There is a time where, There is no place here. Tell me if you get there... Heaven Can you see this land I'm dreaming? Such a place, I hope we will find. Is it there now? Tell me where now, 'Cos I need to know. Believe...

Since our eyes last met. You were a lone child, I have no regrets. Oh, you know sometimes how I wonder, If I am a fool. The rocks that are pulling me under Are heading a fall. Dont be afraid Youre not alone, now By the guard of angels A new rock will rise As mountains cut sky, now Heaven knows Never, Never, I could never lose my faith in you (could I ever break my faith to you) Never, Never, Will I ever turn my back on you You must be strong now And stand as a man. As I will be leaving, Leaving this land. Sometimes I wonder, If I am a fool. The rocks that are pulling me under Are heading a fall. Turn my back on you |

But that was only yesterday, So you had to wash your head in hate. In hate, in hate. Tell me why, I don't believe in you. I don't believe it's true. I don't believe in you. Shall we stand against the wind? Staring at the justice of their sins, Their sins. What have they done to live this way? In a modern world, the fragile pay They pay, oh yes they pay.

Standing on the border,
Waiting on the line. Silence is a stranger, In these troubled times. I recall a better place, Where I controlled my mind. We had no fears at all... The day before the war. Hands across the water, The sun is in the East. Who will feed the famine After lions feast? In the name of Jesus, In the name of God, You took it all in vain... The day before the war. Standing on the border, Waiting on the line. Feet in bloody water, Deafened by the crime. I recall the beauty, Young will never see. We had no fears at all... The day before the war. Hearts across the water, The sun is in the East. Ships arrived this morning, From the burning sea. Take away the glory, Take away the pain. You were a friend of mine... The day before the war. |

Took the ground,
From underneath my feet. Silent town, Ghosts this empty street. I see the home that once was mine, Now just bones of former life. Touch this page of sacred time, again, I see you call... You don't have to be strong for me. I won't shoot your defences down. Whatever happens, I want you to see We can face it together. And turn it around. A new life Grows within his hands. Coming back To this promised land. And with these bones we will rebuild, To the flesh of future life. Giving back that sacred time, again... You don't have to be strong for me. I won't shoot your defences down. Whatever happens, I want you to see, We can face it together. And turn it around. |

Two strings, beating out of time Koto, warning of the danger Wake up, is your head still mine? Now they give you reasons To fight for love That's enough In a paper world That's enough Said the Chinese girl That's enough Another city falls Just because we're two sides of the moon Data, streaming through my window Chrome stars, whispering their lies Black sky, hides approaching stranger Reach out, two should now be one Disregard the reasons And look above That's enough In a paper world That's enough Said the Siamese girl That's enough Another city falls Just because we're two sides of the moon |

Would you cross the deepest seas? In the fiercest winds, on the burning trail, Seal it with your word. If I whispered words, would you keep a lie? Would you promise me till time? So if we grow old and the distance parts, So seal it with your word. Oh, I'll scream upon the hill, So, you can hear me still. Now, will we ever fade? I seal it with my word.

Some other time From some forgotten studio Way down the line So long, so long I've waited now To hear you again That song, that song will still remain It's become an old friend And now, the tears are in my eyes The sound you can't disguise The truth comes back from lies And all I want to hear Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America And then you came in stereo Calling to me And so I watch the videos Across the T.V. That sound, still ringing in my ears From a decade ago Around, around my head, the sound from my radio I thought, that after all these years The tears, the growing fears That I would never hear Never again Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America ooh~~ Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America Voice of America, ooh, America |

They decorated all the generals
Who fought the war behind the lines They had forgotten all the soldiers The brandy puts them way behind the times Insanity has found its way to TV screens Vision seems impossible to me They fight for king and country I never would have thought this in my Wildest dreams Evening comes, we sit and watch the features Clips and rushes come from who-knows-where From Washington across to California The fighting breaking out in Leicester Square We see the soldiers moving on to victory And children trampled under marching feet They fight for king and country How many millions will they put to sleep? Wildest dreams Fly away! No, not in this world No, not in the next No, not in my wildest dreams They recommended euthanasia For non-conformers anywhere Some men's dreams for others turn to nightmares This never would have happened in their Wildest dreams Fly away! No, not in this world No, not in the next No, not in my wildest dreams |

"the dawning of a brand new day
The waking of the whispers say: That sleeping heavens will return In deepest night the secret learned And from these walls this city lies The past will be our future The journey will be over, Awake!" I saw the writing on the wall The story of our birth then fall Within their tombs of holy stone The scrolls of life, one man alone So if we try, we can live and learn The sands will pull you under Don't let them pull you under Awake! I travelled to a foreign land Through stormy seas and burning sand Led by the stars the ancient stream The call of treasures yet unseen So if we climb to the rocks of kings Together we'll discover The source of all our wonder Awake! Someday we're going to go back to the stars And find the answer, who we really are A traveller through the lonely mists of time Creation from the sky The dawning of a brand new day The waking of the whispers say: That sleeping heavens will return In deepest night the secret learned From these walls this city lies The past will be our future The journey will be over Awake! Someday we're going to go back to the stars And find the answer who we really are A traveller through the lonely mists of time Creation from the sky Someday we're going to back to the stars And find the answer who we really are If we try, we can live and learn Together we'll discover The source of all our wonder Awake! We saw the writing We read the story Awake! Music & lyrics by: geoff downes & john payne |

Silent wave coming down on me
Washing out the lie Living inside me Life's not hard Now i'm on tv This sudden twist of fate I am direct salvation Just send in your donation I can promise that you'll be saved Forgive me, world I'm just a man who's lost his way Forgive me, these two words i pray It's time to make a change Yesterday was a different day Thought i knew the answer A vision in my mind Search my soul And then you will find A shelter for my pain The truth is in the open And now my heart has spoken Hoping maybe you'll hear my cry Forgive me, world I'm just a man who's lost his way Forgive me, these two words i pray It's time to make a change Forgive me, world I'm just a man who sins today Forgive me, these two words i pray My faith is still the same Maybe i can't change the past Maybe love can bring us back Maybe we can try and start again. Forgive me, world Music & lyrics by: jimmy santis/richard tancredi/geoff downes & john payne |

Look into the distance, you're living in a cage
A fire burns inside you, that fuels all the rage You're thinking of the outside, and dream of the past The gates to freedom lie within your grasp They're changing the system, rewriting the laws Renaming religion, reshaping your cause You always be lonely, walking with fools The shadows in the doorways make the rules Because you're free, this time Don't be scared of who you are Free, to find There's no hiding in the dark A new day is dawning, a new age begun Nobody told you which way you should run Wait for the thunder, break from the shell Is this the gate to freedom from this hell? Because you're free, this time Don't be scared of who you are Free, to find There's no hiding in the dark Free, this time You can learn to live again Free, to find There is shelter from the rain Free They're razing the fences in the pastures of doom The fields of our heroes, the land won by few The call of a new world, dream to transcend Now it's time to fight and start again Because you're free, this time Don't be scared of who you are Free, to find There's no hiding in the dark Because you're free, this time You can learn to live again Free, to find There is shelter from the rain Music & lyrics by: geoff downes & john payne |

Heroes of the future
The keepers of the past And objects of our beauty Remaining till the last Walking on the water The oceans at our feet The passage of our nature The taste of bitter-sweet So shall we be kings? Born just to win Proud voices sing And we wish that this life would go on and on Looking in the distance The fever on the street Cast away the covers Let my people see Rulers of the network Leaders from the dark Embrace a generation The first will be the last So shall we be kings? Born just to win Proud voices sing And we wish that this life would go on and on Shall we be kings? Born just to win Proud voices sing We will never give up till the day is done Shall we be kings? Born just to win Proud voices sing And we hope that the word will live on and on Time waiting Time taking Life Music & lyrics by: geoff downes & john payne |

Do you remember years ago?
All our hopes would ebb and flow We thought we'd find a promised land Our footprints in the sand The mysteries, the twists of fate Have changed the path from love to hate But won't erase sins of the past They hide behind the mask If i could conquer all our fears Can forgiveness dry the tears? If i falter, my soul i'll sell On the coldest day in hell I'll never let you down How can i tell you now? But only heaven knows I won't let you go I dream of demons through the night A restless fever till morning light My body's cold, my head's on fire Give me back my life Kill this ghost inside of me Let me sail on deep blue seas A new beginning, another page Dawn gives in to day I will conquer all our fears Let forgiveness dry the tears If i falter my soul i'll sell On the coldest day in hell I'll never let you down How can i tell you now? But only heaven knows I won't let you go I swear i'll stand my ground How can i turn this round? As this time heaven knows I won't let you know When i'm dreaming, i'm dreaming of you When i'm breathing, i'm breathing with you But only heaven knows I won't let you go Music & lyrics by: geoff downes, john payne & ben woolfenden |

On the street below these walls
Where i used to walk Now i can barely crawl All this darkness rising tall Lord, shine a light for me I'm waiting to be called I'm ready to go home I'm ready to receive Forgiveness for my sins I'm ready to begin Take this river to the sea Where the delta flows The tide is washing over me Guide this soul to heaven's door Show me where tomorrow lies I'm waiting to be home I'm ready to lay down I'm ready now to sleep A promise i must keep I'm ready to go home Sometimes i lay down with these memories Breathe shallow, deep inside of me Time has run its course with me And i'm ready to go home When the evening shadows fall When the time has come I let defences fall To surrender's to survive I will give up everything To those i leave behind I'm ready to go home I'm ready to receive Forgiveness for my sins I'm ready to begin I'm ready to lay down I'm ready now to sleep A promise i must keep I'm ready to go home Again Music & lyrics by: andrew gold & graham gouldman |

If you want it
Don't look at my face It's the last time It's not forever The dust in the wind It's the last time One world, one dream The stars in your hand No light, no life The scars are made by man Heaven can't help you now In this madness Take it while you can It's the last time This holy water Running away For the last time One world, one dream The stars in your hand No light, no life So heal the scars of man One chance, this night To shine on this land This time, with pride Give back now while you can All these fields, that once were green Have turned to smoke and steel The sun will fall, and the last moon rise Don't turn this tide away If you want it So start it again It's the last time (the scars were made by man) It's not forever The dust is the wind For the last time One world, one dream The stars in your hand No light, no life So heal the scars of man One chance, this night To shine on this land This time, with pride Give back now while you can Music & lyrics by: geoff downes & john payne |

"what passing-bells for these who die as cattle?
- only the monstrous anger of the guns. Only the stuttering rifles' rapid rattle Can patter out their hasty orisons. No mockeries now for them; no prayers nor bells; Nor any voice of mourning save the choirs, - The shrill, demented choirs of wailing shells; And bugles calling for them from sad shires." (wilfred owen, 1918) Now the day has run When the cover comes But any fool can see Ahead Silence is my friend But it has to end Any fool can see Ahead It's the longest night It's the longest night Cold winds may blow On the longest night So we write our letters To those far away Any fool can see Ahead The distant sound of thunder A choir of wailing shells Any fool can see Ahead It's the longest night It's the longest night Cold winds may blow On the longest night I don't want to fight I don't know who's right Cold winds they blow On this longest night It's the longest night It's the longest night Cold winds may blow On this longest night Music & lyrics by: geoff downes, john payne & ben woolfenden |

Whenever your shadow falls on stony ground
And there's not a hand for you to hold Whenever the dreams you dream come crashing down Every time you think of home Remember that you're not alone And we'll be with you heart and soul Wherever you are And if you should lose your path along the way And find yourself walking in the dark Whenever the ones you love seem far away Every time you think of home Remember that you're not alone And we'll be with you heart and soul Wherever you are Whenever the fears you hide come reaching through Every time you think of home Remember that you're not alone And we'll be with you heart and soul Every time you think of home Remember that you're not alone And we'll be with you heart and soul We'll be with you heart and soul Wherever you are We're with you heart and soul Music & lyrics by: andrew gold, graham gouldman, geoff downes & john payne |

Don't hang that sign on me
You're the stranger Don't try to talk to me You're the stranger On the seas They came from far away From the skies Their silver birds of prey In one day Ten thousand years could change We are fools To live your pilgrim ways Don't hang that sign on me You're the stranger Don't try to talk to me You're the stranger And we drive Five hundred miles this time To the edge Of crystal-cut blue sky Silence breathes South of the border line Silent trees Look back and wonder why Did father and his holy son Spread the word and point the gun? And where the eagle used to fly They carve their concrete in the sky Tearing at our mother's skin Taking all her blood within Remember how it used to be? Did father and his holy son Spread the word and point the gun And where the eagle used to fly They carve their concrete in the sky Tearing at our mother's skin Taking all her blood within Remember how it used to be? Stand up again and say: Don't hang that sign on me You're the stranger Don't try to talk to me You're the stranger Don't hang that sign on me You're the stranger Don't try to talk to me You're the stranger Music & lyrics by: geoff downes & john payne |

As a child, we played the game
Fought the war, but felt no pain Arm to arm, we left the skin THen said the words, remember them Oh, never a moments doubt Oh, feel it, scream it loud Chorus: Anytime that you call Anytime if you fall Anytime I'll be there for you Any moment of fear Anytime say the prayer Swear that our word is true Should I go Should I stay? I won't turn my head away Cross the line, the great divide So kill the silence, where we hide Oh, never a moments doubt Oh, feel it so scream it loud Chorus If clouds fall, stand tall As mountains climb from endless sea Call out, fear not Bring back that memory Chorus |

You can take it
If you want it You can break it If you need it I'll never fight another day But you can take the flesh not the soul away They're calling from the lions den They're fighting for the ghosts of holy men Into the arena we climb We look to the sky Into the arena we climb You and I Is it over When the light goes? Bella nova Tell me who knows Scars will beat the minds of men Can you feel the thorns upon the skin? I'll never fight another day till I die {Chorus} Yes I hear you Yes I see you Yes I feel you And I need you Is it over, I'll never fight another day When the light goes? But you can take the flesh, not the soul away Bella nova, they're calling from the lions den Tell me who knows? They're fighting for the souls of holy men {chorus} |

Time and tide,
Are the dreams that come and go, They wait for no man on the shore. Should you step, In the same dark river twice, Let it wash the sins away, Is there time at hand, With so much to say? And I know, it's a different world today, And I know, to another God we pray, And I know, we're in different worlds today. Here I stand, My philosophy held high, Like a preacher in a foreign land. And here we walk, In the wilderness of sands, With the prophet and the holy man. Is there time at hand, With so much to say? And I know, it's a different world today, And I know, to another God we pray, And I know, we're in different worlds today, And I know, it's a different world today. They're burning the Book, they're burning the faith, Our dream will be over, Let's wake from the sleep, a legion we'll be, To live forever. I know I as wrong, I have to put it right, I just can't let it slip away, 'Cause it's a different world today. Different world, different world, different world today, Is it a better world today? |

Don't Cry
by Asia Hard times you had before you I knew when I first saw you You girl you’ve always been mistreated, cheated So leave it all behind you It took so long to find you I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh Don’t Cry now that I’ve found you Don’ Cry take a look around you Don’t Cry it took so long to find you Do what you want, but little darling please Don’t Dry I knew I’d never doubt it I was so sure about it Don’t think of all that’s been before I’ll hear you when you’re calling I’ll catch you when you’re falling Don’t worry I will always be there, like never before, or, oh |

Feel my mind, the sleep is ending
As we rush into the sea Take my eyes, and I will show you The future in the deep You must breathe on You must be strong Am I right to fight the distance As we push against the tide? You must breathe on You must be strong Rushing through my head, I can touch the thunder Lighting up the mind, as the wind blows stronger Pushing back the sea, as the storm is calling on Louder than before, in the raging river Faster than the stream, will it last forever? Holding back the time, as the world stops turning Feels like love... Tell me, does it feel like love? We look to the sky, to the statue of hope She is holding the flame, as the island awoke To the city of dreams, where the angel still sleeps See the satellites glow as they rise from the sea Feels like love... Tell me, does it feel like love? |

Go
by Asia Dig for victory, go for gold I don't wanna die before I get old And I wonder where I'm going to There's some way out, there's some way through But I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm down again My direction is changing, which way, Which way can I go... Get up and go You start me up, you slow me down No one can deny you get around When you're hot, you're cold, you're in between Asking myself what does it mean? And I walk that tightrope, you should know I'm losing my balance, maybe, Maybe I should go... Get up and go Face to face in sympathy But now you turn your back on me Turn a card and win, but you may lose Fate only has that right to choose If you're right, leave me here, I'll die alone You've got the time, you've just got time You got the time just go... Get up and go Go Just go... |

Heat Of The Moment
by Asia I never meant to be so bad to you One thing I said that I would never do One look from you and I would fall from grace And that would wipe this smile right from my face Do you remember when we used to dance And incidence arose from circumstance One thing lead to another we were young And we would scream together songs unsung It was the heat of the moment Telling me what your heart meant Heat of the moment shone in your eyes And now you find yourself in 82 The disco hotspots hold no charm for you You can't concern yourself with bigger things You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings And when your looks are gone and you're alone How many nights you sit beside the phone What were the things you wanted for yourself Teenage ambition you remember well |
