Asia, Asia - Phoenix (2008) by Asia (보컬), Asia (보컬) on maniadb.com

I saw the universe, I held it in my hand
The planets and the stars, merely grains of sand
The darkness that I knew, it is no more
The Sun will shine for me, of that I can be sure
This is the day, the day of my ascendance
A time for life, a time for independence

Chorus
Never again will I bear arms against my brothers
Never again will I dishonour anyone
Never again will I wish evil on another
Never again will I bear arms against my brothers

The age of Gemini, a dazzling creation
A new enlightenment, a great illumination
Dark acts of history must never be repeated
I know I must treat you the way I'd be treated
This is the day, the day of my ascendance
A time for life, a time for independence

Chorus

Never again
Never again

I'm climbing now, I'm gaining altitude
And now my hands can feel the grip
My head is spinning with a synergy
The power that takes me up and

Never again will I bear arms against my brothers
Never again will I spill blood of any mother's son
Never again, oo
Never again, ah
Never again, oo
Never again, ah
Never again will I bear arms against my brothers
Never again will I dishonour anyone
Never again will I wish evil on another
Never again will I spill blood of any mother's son
Never again

Hold on to life, for in moments it can fade away

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

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

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

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

Words trip from my tongue
Saying, "be strong, always be strong"
Scenes flash past my eyes
Telling me here is the where we belong

If you believe what I believe
Then we're home, yeah, we're home

CHORUS
I should have seen it coming
I could have worked it out
Your feminine mentality
Reveals the things I cannot see
I should have seen it coming
I could have worked it out
The danger signs have left my mind
It's way beyond a shadow of a doubt

So it won't be long
Stay with me now, where you belong
It's our right to fly to the stars
Just for one night this world is ours

If you believe what I believe
Then we're home, yeah, we're home

CHORUS

CHORUS
CHORUS

> Theres a vision I see
A reflection of me
In a fragment

That is frozen in time
On a luminous line
For a moment

And somewhere deep in the night
Theres a girl
And she feels how I feel
Cause were living in PARALLEL WORLDS

Seems like shell never know
How my solitude grows
And I shudder

To think I cant touch
What Im craving so much
For I love her

Somewhere deep in the night
Theres a girl
And she feels how I feel
Cause were living in PARALLEL WORLDS

It was a lie
Nothing was real
Just a disguise you're using
You're using still

When you meet preaacher man
Remind him of your fear
Over which you operate
Operate control

When the truth is recalled
The evidence resound
It's the price you'll pay
On the rebound

CHORUS
Wish I'd known all along
What you're running from
Wish I'd now all along
You can't choose between weak or strong

But you're not there
To turn the key
On your own two feet
Two feet on the ground

Get a grip right on
To the situation
Try to choose what
You choose to ignore

CHORUS

Your time has come
It's not too late
Don't hesitate
Hesitate
Hesitate

Wish I'd known all along
What you're running from
Wish I'd known all along
What you're running from

When the present destroys the past

CHORUS

When the present destroys the past
When the present destroys the past

Don't taint this ground
With the colour of the past
Are the sounds in bloom with you?
'Cause you seem like
An orchard of mines
Just take one step at a time

CHORUS
Oh, and you seem to break like time
So fragile on the inside
You climb these grapevines
Would you look now
Unto this pit of me on the ground?
And you wander through these
To climb these grapevines

Vines

I'll say it to be proud
Won't have my life turned upside down
Says the man with some gold-forged plan
Of life so incomplete
Like weights strapped around my feet
Tread careful, one step at a time

CHORUS

BRIDGE
To know, to feel
To play me once again
Do you denote
From what we feel?
Do you not know?

BRIDGE

I see you've played the game
Do you denote?

If our only chance was in today
Let it lift us up above some way
As the evening shadows fall
I'll confide in you once more

Over, over and over again
We will resolve our true destiny
Only through Love, our passage guaranteed
Let it lift me up above

We are on a journey, to where we can't be sure
When we are as one, it opens every door
I don't want to take you across the great divide
This horizon's nearer, much easier to find

Let it lift me up above

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
