Don't tell me what you are Don't tell me what you're after Don't tell me what you want Don't tell me what you need Aren't you just the one to always point the finger I don't care for you 'cos you don't care for me !
U bring me down........repeat
COUNTER RAP U bring me down/You're giving me no hope Sucking off our land/Blowing off the smoke Virus in the veins/That run into the sea Poisoning the world/With you're generosity
U bring me down/You're killing me with lies You take away our ears/ Won't take away my eyes The red red sea will return unto the vein Covering the world/Are you happy with your gain
REFRAIN
I could breathe, I could fly The day before you came (Think you own my skin now) Break the chains, free the slave Turn the tides against you now
Talking to the sky You promise evolution Progression of the mind By selling of the soul The last will be the first In the dust of revolution
Someone cares for me But no one cares for you
REFRAIN 2
Will I breathe? Will I see? Far beneath the clearest stream (To the deepest ocean) Break the chains, free the slaves Give back the blood, that you drain from this world now
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.
It crawls inside you Like a strange disease One time the giver Next time the thief I know what you know So I won't let this go
You choose your brother If he looks the same You dirty white boy It's all for gain But I know what you know So I won't let this go
What about love? And the human race What about love? It's a different face What about love? Why can't we embrace? I've got to know I want to know
The start of reason Is the end of hate Progressive healing For the corporate But I know what you know So I won't let this go
What about love? And the human race What about love? It's a different face What about love? Why can't we embrace? I've got to know What about love? And the human race What about love? It's a different face What about love? It's a big disgrace I've got to know I want to know
There's a black Siberian 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
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
Shake the hand of time With the builders of stone Are you recognized? You're not going home
Have to find a hideaway So turn up the neighbors The eagle is listening today
It's not up to me To change what has been done It's not up to me A speechless world looks on It just has to be! Silent nation
No longer have a name A number will do Cutting the wires of doom 'Cos they're watching you
Raging in thought Mouthless, the millions obey So call off your dogs You preachers of what we can say
It's not up to me To change what has been done It's not up to me A speechless world looks on It just has to be! Silent nation In a silent nation We must change what has been done It's a travesty Silent nation
It's not up to me To change what has been done It's not up to me A speechless world looks on It just has to be! In a silent?
"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
