I. Magna Carta Overture ~Instrumental~
II. Declaration John The King of England Duke of Normandy (Count of Aquitaine) Spoke to all his subjects Declaring freedom and reform in this present charter... III. Status Quo In the first place it is our will Before we quarrel there are rights to instill Upon our heirs, confirmed with grace The English Church shall stand in faith If any earl or baron dies And owes us relief we will rectify Our binding words to the sons under age: "We'll hold it in trust - your inheritance is saved." The guardian of the land will now answer to us. Assignable for husbandry and wardship. The Treaty of The Magna Carta will ensure this. IV. Reform City of London have all your liberties Free customs and furthermore; petition counsel That no assessment shall reach into the pockets Of the common man We respect the rights of the common man We must respect the rights of the common man..... No witch hunt executions to be held in the shadows No trivial crimes shall condemn one to the gallows All evil customs, warrens, sheriffs, shall be abolished All hostages will be released In the the final hours of this decadence we must defeat 'Cause it's not too late for the future Stand back - look around It's a time for peace not a time for war or for judgement Summon all, listen to my order! This fifteenth day of June in Runnymeade All must coincide as The Magna Carta is ratified..... V. Restoration Should a man transgress this charter We'll judge in fairness with law and order Time for the kingdom to be granted all these things Wishing betterment for allies, with security. Liberty of conscience is finally restored as The Magna Carta is moving forward in this restoration From such a young man his great awakenings has saved our homeland..... In a modern world we still must fight to learn the lessons that prolong our plight The history of those before should help us now but we choose to ignore Explore the new ground - discovery We know the answers but no one sees We are so close but we stand so far From the restoration - the nearest star The Hour of Restoration is now upon us We measure the time all history to the present The Magna Carta Trust of the ancient living. City of London have all your liberties, free customs and furthermore Petition counsel that no assessment shall reach into the pockets of the common man. We restored the rights of the common man We have restored the rights of the common man... |

Magic land so far away - was
It worth the voyage in these days? The lives of soldiers thrown away In medieval claims to yesterday... Off the starboard bow/in the Heat of the night/we visualize Apocalypse in the fire fight, The parliament says "it's necessary" But Birmingham calls you home/ The neighborhood, the family, the Mind begins to roam. Ocean currents flowing/taking Vessels to a war/whether right Or wrong it's a moot point/as we Hit the shore/a former king's Residence/in the district of the North/the crown of England is risking All for sovereignty at Stanley Port. The Mission. The Mission. Don't Forget The Mission. But there's no way out/I don't want To stand here and fight anymore/ Please - couldn't we find a better way, I just saw somebody die. Waving the flag as he fell to the ground - While the locals rejoiced in liberation. So take those ice cold islands back - Almighty Union Jack/a thousand Victories will be behind you/in royal Fashion the colonies, the land swept up In the naval destruction out at sea. No wire to the U.K. - no moral Ground can prepare us to die at Falkland Sound.* So take those ice cold islands back Almighty Union Jack/a thousand Victories will be behind you/when will We learn to cease the fire/my friends In modern times - we need a better way. Because this place belongs to all of us Responsibility lies within each of us The revenge we seek will not conquer us... Listen. This place belongs to all of us Responsibility lies within each of us One earth, one mind can save us My friends the end is near us. |

Back in '61 to '65, their indifferences,
Could never hide the buried hopes Of peace/that rest beneath them wearing Grey or blue. Did the burning of white mansions still The fire inside their hearts to kill Each other? The memories that lie where ash remains. They marched all the fathers and sons To a slaughter/ Then the widows and daughters knew That no one would march back home. Can you feel it? Don't deny that it comes from Deep within your soul. Can you feel it? Don't you see that this Is something we can do together? The intolerance bred ignorance and prejudice But they possessed destructive powers Making it too real for them to see That their strength was an illusion Fueled by dreams of glory writing Their own story Knowing that no man should be Enslaved. Though it's hard to build on dreams again We must fight the demon if We're going to win. One more chance to live again - to prosper the Open land that God gave them. One more Chance to live a new way - they sacrificed Everything - they threw it away. Hate must never claim the lives of our heroes Again. Never can we allow another burning... |

Walking on a still green sea-have you got the faith to let
it be? Without falling through like an anchor tied - to your weighted memories of guilty times. Stepping on a bed of coals - does little damage to the icy souls 'Cause there's just one bridge between pain and hope So keep mind sharp enough to stay afloat - while you're here...... |

When your mind stays awake and your body cries for sleep
Disillusioned from the pain you're in way too deep. As the chains bind your soul and the sweat takes its toll Don't submit to addiction - can't escape the whole world. You're just looking for something - you can't find it in a bottle You accelerate to the limit - Three more hits and the throttle Will take you to the grave - to an early demise - don't expect any mercy If you live in disguise. Preaching again to the multitudes end.Make a promise to stop now 'cause I can't even look in the mirror/A freak, a cruel lie/I've been fooling myself In the images that I've justified. Breaking these circles surrounding me there's a great white light at the End/my life is worth living again and again- Now I believe in the knowledge and now I'm in the light. Breaking these circles - don't repeat all our darkest nightmares The universal man/still in the same place his sin of addiction began........ |

Swear I'm gonna break free
From the grip of sin from that killer of hope... 'cause all I see is that killer of hope. Well, did I ever think to think? I didn't even try I should have listened to the wise Now its too late - I knew better There's nothing good here and it's time that I put this out- All I am to you is another doubt I don't believe in nothing I don't believe that I care Don't try to make me do it All I need is just a little push, not a shove and I'll get off the fence in a while... She's the killer of hope with a conscience that is clear She understands I'm just a man with a common fear She's just what I need to forsake But it's not that easy (x1 How much more can I take?) (x2 ...not supposed to be) Now that I know her I am never looking back I've been beat up, I've been spit out, I know shit, jack... She may be my killer of hope But if she calls my name now I ain't going back So now it's up to me The future that I see My spirit growing dark and I fear (Oh God, I fear) The moment that I try My moment wants to die Swear I'm gonna break free from the grip of sin- from that killer of hope. |

Tendencies that bring us
to our knees see, there's no unity just a thousand different ways Time for church Oh really, let's see Do the Jew and Gentile really need to agree? What 'cha reading? Did you think I'd be surprised? You're the pastor's cash cow But the good book still survives But I'm late for church I'm really late for church... I don't want to dress up nice I just want to stay home I feel like watching big screen TV with NFL on the VCR and Pink Floyd on the DVD I'm late for church - late for church I'm late for church. Now get in the car or there could be trouble why can't I just go back to sleep It's long past 10 am... From the Vatican to the Rio Grande Everything is dying But I ain't weeping no more In my school of thought Religion reaping naught It must be what I've bought and they ain't selling any more I don't want to dress up nice I just want to stay home I feel like watching big screen TV with NFL on the VCR and Pink Floyd on the DVD I'm late for church - late for church I'm late for church. I'll get in the car if you answer my question Why so many churches here? I thought there was only one God. |

Ritual of mourning
No praying in his faith a heathen is rejoicing No God, so there's no grace How can he understand this when war is at each hand? Rejecting all mysteries He just won't see... that saved, he can be Forgive the heathen -he's asleep now All that he can do of him I'll ask- Is your soul worth the price to pay? Well, finally discovered when he looked upon your face The melodies that kept him from dying in this place (more and more) What it really comes to is the passion that we shared In this fight I gave everything and I never held anything back But by the time he found this out I had walked away I had moved on to another place and another day - it was too late. What are his chances now? What can I do? I'm confessing here as I'm waiting for you - Yes, I'm waiting for you… with this hymn for a heathen. Can you hear me now? Won't you please hear me now? All I'm praying for is a heathen. Lord, he's not the same man now He can't hear you anymore... 'cause his old ways - his old ways are gone... |

From Madagascar to Mozambique
Washington to Oman The drums of war still beat Business was booming Now your stocks in the can because New York City was the promised land Conflict of culture Open season on the free world Now it's North Korea but are bigger flags unfurled? Let's stand tall in uncertain times A world groove is spinning No sense to the signs It's a new world order in infancy here We're losing generations to chaos We're not evolving - we are history now. Fashion is sexy and the catwalk rules No winter collections this year 'cause a slowdown brews Wagner in Israel But hey, Armstrong -now HE was really King Well the Beatles to Ellington kick ass Ya, they're musical genius still sings. I stand in this holy land divided by only man Jerusalem cries for a better day Fly over oceans far away Human rights in the light of day reflect a much different world America - call it Disneyland I can't even think about it On and on it goes Its best not to think at all... Earthquake and flood Tornados touching down We've got super bowl action here while aids is killing half the town Health and disease in Africa Don't you forget about the acid rain burning our countryside (down) in money's name Lincoln - Jefferson rolling over in their graves see modern politicians shrink from making costly waves Can you feel the world groove? Smart bombs and Presidents United Nations - Refugees, mercenaries, bankers, terrorist stations - Cadillacs, Cartiers reservations for two - Kids are starving with gluttony in plain view Well, I think I've made my point here That's all for today All I want is one more shot for the epitaph to say: "All they tried to do is make a difference here -that's it." |

Overplayed and understated
Maximized and underrated Overdrawn and overstated What about the truth -what about it? Minimized, overemphasized Exaggerated just to dramatize There's a whole lot more than fame here And a whole lot more to money Ok, I've made my point now speak up Let's hear what you have to say Just give it to me hard - give it to me straight Tell me I'm wrong about everything Overblown and sinking fast Underfoot and overcast Make a future with the past What am I to do -what about it? Overgrown, contemplated Overloaded, captivated In a deadly serious game With a healthy dose of overkill Whoever said the best things are free Wasn't around - That never made sense to me -'Cause after living… In a way, I'd have to say nothing ever came cheap So that just can't be… I am not the only one that lost it Some things just have to be said Now I'd like to make it up to you Pick up the pieces…if you'll let me Ok, I've made my point now speak up Let's hear what you have to say Just give it to me hard - give it to me straight Tell me I'm wrong about everything… No time for introductions -no time at all Listen… Undermanned and overcharged Understood and over farmed Under where? Undertaker. -Bet he knows the truth, he'll tell you ""Underground, underhanded Only so much time is granted"" I never said that I had the answers I never said I knew the truth But I know if you're gonna die You might as well - you might as well Really try and live Well, maybe that's all there is to it. Whoever said the best things are free Wasn't around - That never made sense to me -'Cause after living… In a way, I'd have to say nothing ever came cheap So that just can't be… I am not the only one that lost it Some things just have to be said Now I'd like to make it up to you Pick up the pieces…if you'll let me Ok, I've made my point now speak up Let's hear what you have to say Just give it to me hard - give it to me straight Tell me I'm wrong… I am not the only one that lost it Some things just have to be said Now I'd like to make it up to you Pick up the pieces…if you'll let me try. How can we replace what we had at home? Fame will not love you the way I do… When it's gone. |

Evangelists - praise the divine
Cardinals - shift on the mainline Cause and effect - rule at the same time Absolution stopped - right at the bloodline Heretics scream - "no prophets" Zealots all walk a gauntlet Spread the word - drink from the goblet Native nations bleed in scarlet Problematic - my tension Ease the guilt with confession So pray the angels are all Christian Will the heathen find redemption? Feel the cross is it burning deep in you? Are you searching? Love - mysterious expression spirit dwarfs in regression… Know the cross Know the passion a final trial of oppression Kingdom come in restoration Martyrdom then salvation. Feel the cross… Hear it calling out? |

Part I. "Youthful Enthusiasm" (Instrumental)
Part II. "Psych 101" Well a bad day fishin' is better than a good day at work But a bad day in paradise is a bad deal Let's say goodbye before we've ever met You're alone on the shore of cranium reef No one gets inside my head No one I'm a bad part of town on a bad stretch of road. I'm a bag of tricks in a balancing act I'm a battered heart and a bath of tears I'm no bank and no barrel of monkeys You're alone on the shore of cranium reef. No one gets inside my head No one You're a band of gypsies and a band of thieves Now you're burning in the sun and you've washed ashore Don't try "psych 101" on me - we've been there before I've got a cold embrace at the cranium reef Trust me you're all alone at the cranium reef Part III "Primal Defense" Heart and mind may disagree But I'm growing old Too far down the road to change now 'cause you speak to me but youth's on your side you're so much more than I care to find What is sacred? What is profane? Your approach is near and there's something I fear inside of you -reminding me like a mirror that shows My past that died long ago No closet full of skeletons Can bring me out here I've got a cold blank stare so don't wait I've got a colder embrace You're an Ivy League amateur "I mean no one comes in here ever" No one comes in here No one. No one. No one passes cranium reef Not even I can look at my grief Don't come to me pretending you're wise I am a man who can see what is real And is fear what is real? Stranded on cranium reef Alone with your thoughts you can drink with your grief You color your lies with a cool motif Stranded on cranium reef Lost at cranium reef At my coral barrier of disbelief You're a cold hard future with no relief Brutal reality at cranium reef I am a bitter pill to swallow I am a bittersweet memory You need me like a hole in the head Now show me that our "body" is real We need conversation 'cause I got a case of the blues And I'm a burned out bridge that nothing here...nothing can rebuild...no, no, no, no. I am a bitter pill to swallow I am a bittersweet memory You need me like a hole in the head Now show me that our "body" is real We need conversation 'cause I got a case of the blues And I'm a burned out bridge that nothing here...nothing can rebuild...no, no, no, no. Heart and mind may disagree But I'm growing old Too far down the road to change now 'cause you speak to me but youth's on your side you're so much more than I care to find... (repeat refrain) |

Dredging the world of memory
Dank and dirty as darkness descends I can not see the moon tonight There's a mist upon the land - and it doesn't feel right Hush my child, I'll give you a clue - Be careful young friend The keeper is a prisoner too Well, I went with the riders of Nebadon To the battle of right and wrong But the sun has been down for a month now All the wrong that I've done... maybe I'll catch one Every bullet needs blood Every bullet needs blood Man's inhumanity or God's insanity Such a world as this - Planet prison or cosmic vision? We'll survive a sure fire miss... Who sells the bullets? - who sells the guns? Has the warden left for the rest of the day? Every bullet needs blood Every bullet needs blood Fire at will... Every bullet needs blood Hell to pay... Hush my child, I'll give you a clue - Be careful young friend The keeper is a prisoner too Father, give me a sanctuary Don't you see what they'll do to me? Father, Father please forgive me!!! Every bullet needs blood... Like a lamb I was led to the slaughter I had no choice but to fight I was played like a pawn There's blood in the water Every bullet needs blood... Every bullet needs blood (every bullet) You say love is the answer to everything Well, I've got my doubts you know Father, please forgive me... (x3) |
