i see tonight
so clearly
i'm who i am
because of me
let's wait and see
can i rely on me
i was taught
to live in fear
i watched my dad
die in fear
let's wait and see
can i rely on me
or will i fall
as those before

Be On Your Guard
04:14
|

|
be on your guard
be on your way
the sun does shine
for wrong and right
your sacred grace
the jewel of the race
so be on your guard
and know your place
someone is watching
someone is listening in
someone is waiting
for you to fall
be on your guard
be on your way
you're not the one
to save the day
the veil will fall
on one and all
so be on your guard
and know your way
someone is watching
someone is listening in
someone is waiting
for you to fall
and they will win
but don't you give in

No Running
03:45
|

|
no running away
no running away
today is your day
forget all the blame
go live and go play
the master's away
in your secret tower
pretender to power
foundations of clay
your will not be done
at war with the sun
you stand in your way
no i won't
be afraid
anymore
no i won't
back away
you watch all the clowns
living it down
the things you won't say
still wondering why
with head in the sky
no one turns your way
how long can you sing
of obvious things
like love is ok
you don't know what to say
still give it away
and hope for the best
no i won't
be afraid
anymore
no i won't
back away
no i won't stay away

Lies
04:26
|
|||
|
the look on your face
says you lie, you lie.
the sound of your voice
tells me all i need to know
the speech is just for show
and all of your wealth
cannot buy the way to Truth
or grant eternal youth
and you talk of god
but i wonder who you mean
i wonder who you mean...?
it seems we all know
that your goal is just to take
to have and dominate
our friend history
says there can be no more doubt
your secret's been let out
and now we bend time
heading for the final push
give thanks to daddy bush
it's the end of the line
time to peer through the great veil
for heaven we set sail

Good Man
04:09
|

am i really a good man
and what have i to show
a lifetime of excuses
and wolves outside my door
to speak of love so easy
pretending i am more
but give me the money
and i'll walk out the door
i cried on the first day that i did go to school
i missed my mummy so badly
i didn't know what to do
my daddy he was a sad man but
he knew the right from wrong
he ate of the apple
but still his song was strong
nothings new
nothing's new
under the sun
the sky is gone
and hope was wrong
for me and you
the church did fail
love did fail
to see us through
i share your tears
i share your wounds
but i must move on
through the haze of the bad years
i see your death at dawn
snow covered mountains
above the crowd that mourns
at the end of the one road
i swear i heard a call
coming from the distance
but that was so long ago

Raise Your Glass
03:59
|
|||
|
raise your glass
drink to yourself
and the years that you have wasted
think about
the giants above
and the world that's yet to be tasted
all who can
speak for themselves
but your call got lost in the distance
all and all
and each to thier own
you will be unseen in the middle
no one is watching over you
you fool
all the good and the bad things can come true
for you
so
be strong
so you can move on
for the dead
and chosen few
i will sing untouched in the wasteland
they were once
believing too
in a world saved by God's hand
all the dreams
we're holding to
came to nothing after the third war
could be just
me and you
maybe we could live by our own law
no one is listening to you
you fool
you should be much more thankful for your world
and still
hold on
love is strong
stay open
don't shut down

Won't Come Back
04:26
|
|||
|
no you won't come back
you won't come back
i know you won't come back
you won't come back
the story goes;
everything will be ok
and love will rule the world in the end
but i wonder why
all those good and great people
did they live just to die
and some would say
our life is just a mystery
and history won't be explained
no you won't come back
you won't come back
i know you won't come back
you won't come back
hold on i hear
hope is everlasting
and someone's on the way
but forgive me
all i can see is evil
and worse things still yet to come
i have this dream
one of you keeps coming back
for me to lose you over again
no you won't come back
you won't come back
i know you won't come back
you won't come back
