"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!
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

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
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
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
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

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
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
"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
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
Wheels turn - smoke rise Chrome wings - low ride Freeway - red line To city lights electric I glide If there? escape from your illusion You gotta break the whole constitution
Concrete - touch sky Main street - dogs lie Steel bird - black tie Is this what they call the freedom you buy ? 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
Love under fire We stand in the flame Now and forever After the rain When is forever ? You can take it from me It may be never C?st la vie
Love under fire And we stand in the flame Now and forever After the rain When is forever ? You can take it from me It may be never Just wait and see
You can hide in the jungle You can climb up a tree You can scan the horizon Tell me what do you see ? As cold as a mountain With a heart that can freeze There? a storm on the water With every heart that she sees
Nothing ventured nothing gained 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 ? One I count on ?ill the end Is there something that I didn? do ? Does it all begin with you ?
CHORUS So how did I, Oh I Give you reason ? But how did I, Oh I Give you reason ?
After all the fallen tears When we wake the taken dream Who let the water slowly draw away ? All the colours that we made
CHORUS
To give you reason, to change the river? flow To give you reason, to point the bone To give you reason, go set your spirit free I don? know, I don? know why
Is there nothing I can say ? Is there nothing I can do, girl ? Didn? mean to break your life Didn? mean to burn your world, no
CHORUS
You can keep the silver band You can have the memories, girl Now as 'Pilate' cleans the hands It? no more to do with me, no
CHORUS
So how did I, Oh I Give you reason ? Let the voice of reason say:
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
