In the dead of the night
On the wings of the wind I hear the ocean bell With a flash of the light In the beat of the dark The sound I know so well I shall never forget you It? been so long I should never have left you The call so strong CHORUS It? a far cry from a wild world I want to get back to you Such a long road, to the homeland I must make my way to a far cry From the chords of the earth To the depths of the sea I will return As I look to the hill Through the eyes of the storm I touch the flame I shall never forget you It? been so long I should never have left you The call so strong CHORUS It? such a far cry |

For those that are able
To go underground Missiles disenable They hit faster then sound They're coming and you have no choice The helpless with one human voice You will categorically say This underdog will have his day One more dead is one more Then it ought to be A travesty oh oh One more missed will be kissed To eternity Or purgatory oh oh After the war After the war Red button he's pressing But he knows not why He's programming orders War lights up the sky He's on the hotline tonight His mind is high as a kite His fingers decide wrong or right This man has it all in his sights Used as tools to believe In autonomy Minorities are no more Men are fools One last cry to humanity No sanity anymore After the war After the war After the war On my arm a tattoo for my sons to be That numbers you and me There's a scar on my face That is photographed for all to see oh oh After the war.. |

This time, you know just what I'm saying
But you could never give a damn Or so it seems It's a fine line with this game that you're playing And you could always turn around Go running for home Chorus Alibis, little lies Procrastination Secrecy, duplicity The end of your alibis Something I could always believe in Then suddenly just disappeared It's all over now Chorus Goodbye your tiny whispers of comfort Never the victim of circumstance You had me deceived So, Jodie, maybe this is the last time That I will ever speak your name I'm going home Chorus Chorus |

A perfect day, or so I say
From where I'm standing This rollercoaster ride, fate will decide The ending Love everlasting, or lost on the way The smiles and the frowns, the ups and downs Of fortune turning The twists and turns, the lessons learned The bridges burning Nights to remember and never forget CHORUS Go, seize the day Wake up and say This is an extraordinary life, oh Enjoy today Come what may This is an extraordinary I gave it all, my cards have fallen But I'm still alive And in the end, believe my friend I will survive Glory or heartache and some of the joy CHORUS All of the good times, all of the bad Responsibility is totally mine I know I rightly stand accused But I believe that I can change Yes, I can change my world CHORUS CHORUS |

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 |

"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 |

Look at him behind the delusion All you hear is the voice of confusion CHORUS The bad boy? back The bad boy? back in town The bad boy? back Don? you shoot him down Wheels spin - ace high No win - no life One world - truth lies Love? just a word on a red neon sign If there? escape from the conclusion You gotta shake the whole institution CHORUS If there? escape from your illusion You gotta break the whole constitution CHORUS |

So scared of the dark
Frightened now to close heavy eyes Escape this dream Haunts my every cell Whenever I sleep I wake into a world After the war Cities turned to sand We live underground Ever since the end of the fall Nations erased Programmed 20 years ago I'm alive Blue Moon Monday Blue Moon Monday I can't believe the scene Some day, some day So safe within my arms One day, one way We will return again Blue Moon Monday Again I awake Into a perfect world The sun always shines Here I feel so safe I'm living two lives The darkness and the light Heaven and Hell I don't wanna die Don't let me sleep Why can't just you hear what I say? Which is the dream Now I don't understand Am I alive? Blue Moon Monday Blue Moon Monday I can't believe the scene Some day, some day So safe within my arms One day, one way We will return again Blue Moon Monday |

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 |

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 |

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? |

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 |

Voices in my head Can't escape the noises Lying in my bed The winter nights grow colder The darkness falls too soon I will hide till morning How silent is this moon? Just one look and I will find Someone else on the other side A trick of light or the darker mind Ghost in the mirror And as the dawn is waking The shadows burn away The sun reborn the savior The safety of the day Just one look and I will find Someone else on the other side A trick of light or the darker mind Ghost in the mirror The darkness calls me The shadows fool me Is it safe on the other side? Is this my future? If it's a dream why can't I wake? Just one look and I will find Someone else on the other side A trick of light or the darker mind Ghost in the mirror |

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...

In a world so scarred Have we gone too far? Dream away Joseph stands in the desert With a gun in his hand Brother still killing brother Cold within this eastern land There's nowhere to run There's nowhere to hide With so much to do and no time Have we gone too far? In a world so scarred Have we gone too far? Dream away Gone too far In a world so scarred Have we gone too far?

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 |

In the distance, I can see them
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... It's still deep inside of my mind. There is a time where, There is no place here. Tell me if you get there... Heaven |

I am caught in the heat
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 |

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} |

I hold the razor blade up to my face
I feel the pulse beneath my skin The crimson line describes the outer trace Of my broken heart within I thought I was invincible Until the sky fell down on me You are my heroine, do with me what you will This is no time to die, no time to kill My heroine, my lover to the end You give me life again, you are my heroine I turn my mind back not so long ago When I was cast upon the ground Then utter chaos rained into my life What I had lost could not be found And I thought I'd live forever My time on Earth had ceased to be You are my heroine, do with me what you will This is no time to die, no time to kill The gentle waves of rolling sea Washing my demons from me You are my heroine, all that matters to me I may have loved you for a thousand years But then you've known that all along I always saw you as an eagle high in the sky So tell me why Only you hold the key to set me free And I thought I saw eternity With my own eyes too blind to see You are my heroine, do with me what you will This is no time to die, no time to kill My heroine, my lover to the end You give me life again with peace you send The gentle waves of rolling sea To wash all the demons from me You are my heroine, all that matters to me |

Somewhere I'll see you again
These words are true Inside I carry a flame It burns for you Sometimes I reach for you But you're not there The place you take me to I know not where CHORUS In dreams you come to me I'm never free For I know wherever I go, whatever I do I will remember you Locked in my memory Your silhouette The only face I see I can't forget CHORUS BRIDGE And if I should light a candle For all the others I've known No matter how I try You're there before my eye And the thought will never subside forever I will remember you These streets and these houses All of the places I've seen If I run from you, no matter what I do The fire will always survive The embers are still alive, and I will remember you BRIDGE |

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 |

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 |

Look a white guy in the sun Miles away from where the quest begun From the ice to the sand Nations moved across the land Ever since time designed the man Someday to return To the place of my birth I'm a long way from home But I know where I belong It's a long way I know But the heart will still carry me home Firewater in the blood Took away the livelihood Giving thanks every single year Who the hell Owns this land? Is it God or is it man? With the blood we draw the line again I'm called to return To the place of my birth I'm a long way from home But I know where I belong It's a long way I know But the heart will still carry me home I'm a long way from home But I know where I belong It's a long way I know But the heart will still carry me home |

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 |

Last night, I roamed in San Francisco Tomorrow ,Shibuya is my home I will be waiting in the darkness in the pouring rain And always I'm alone Walking the streets of New York City Light years away from where I'm born I study the faces of the people while I'm standing In the shadows of their final dawn Chorus You know that nothing's forever, it's just for today Can't live for the future, forget yesterday And hold on to life, for in moments it can fade away Maybe I'm following too closely Sometimes you feel you've had enough Making the most of what you have today Just hope and pray for those you really love Chorus Nothing's forever Chorus You know that nothing's forever, it's just for today Can't live for the future, forget yesterday Nothing from nothing is nothing, amen, so I say Nothing's forever Ashes to ashes Nothing's forever Ashes to ashes Nothing's forever Ashes to ashes Nothing's forever |

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 |
