AGAINST THE ODDS THE WAY OF LIFE THAT MUST CHANGE In the court of kings I look around My blood runs cold I close my eyes Out of my head A vision flows I'll make the rules I need for my survival For my survival I pull the strings You take the glory I load the gun You shoot me down I'm on the edge About to fall Destructive power will Make you lose your mind Use your mind We give our life Invest in time To only fools Who take controll I spend another Cold day in hell Against the odds I fight for my survival For my survival Your useless life gets Crushed into the ground The time has come To turn it all around SWEET SUGAR OVER IMPORTANCE OF MONEY I've no time for boring things There's no religion That can make my heart sing, no They call me up Say: hey come on down We've got credit salvation All over town And I can see it everywhere I go I can hear it on my radio They keep telling me it's alright But there's one thing I don't need tonight It's their sweet sugar, poison wine I don't need these things To make me feel fine Sweet sugar, poison wine Just need your love girl, every time We don't need these Pointless things We just need to mend Our broken wings Take a look, a look What's going down We've gotta stop Before we hit the ground Yeah, we can have it Don't you know Take part in their TV show They'll keep telling us it's alright But there's one thing I don't need tonight It's their sweet sugar, poison wine I don't need these things To make me feel fine Sweet sugar, poison wine Just need your love girl, every time You can't fool me It's a waste of time You're selling tears Down the credit card line, yeah But giving up is not Their frame of mind They'll find a way To break us in time Yeah, I can meet you Everywhere I go And I can hear you on my radio You keep telling me it's alright But there's one thing I don't need tonight It's your sweet sugar, poison wine I don't need these things To make me feel fine Sweet sugar, poison wine I just need your love girl, every time Sweet sugar, poison wine I don't need these things To make me feel fine Sweet sugar, poison wine Just gimme your love girl Gimme your love, gimme your love Sweet sugar, poison wine I need your love girl Yeah, all the time Sweet sugar, poison wine I just need you girl, everytime TIME OF REVELATION MOVING TO A FANTASY WORLD Won't you take a chance my brother Follow me to a time of revelation Can't you see that destiny will take a turn And show you there's no need to fight 'Cause you know it's right And I finally see where I'm going I finally know what I'm knowing Now our journey's only just begun You won't need to ask forgiveness What you find will be your inspiration You don't have to pray for glory All is equal, no more pain You know it's true, it's up to you 'Cause I finally see where I'm going I finally know what I'm knowing Now our journey's only just begun Over the bridge Where you start to believe Down at the edge of the rainbow Dark is the night But we've seen another time Follow the light of the shadow Right or wrong, there is no reason There will be no hidden destination With the strength that you discover You can show the way How it was meant to be For all to see 'Cause I finally know what I'm knowing I finally see where I'm going Now our journey's only just begun Over the bridge Where you start to believe Down at the edge of the rainbow Dark is the night But we've seen another time Follow the light of the shadow … MISTRESS OF ALL TIME ENLIGHTENED WOMAN She dances on the seven seas Dances on the ocean Sunlight on her golden hair Shapes of pure emotion Her voice is heard like Crystal words across the sky She moves just like an angel She’s the mistress of all time Her sun pours down like liquid gold To chase away the sorrows Her clothes are like a million stars Made of tears and rainbows And all the while Her senses smile into my life She moves just like an angel She’s a mistress of all time Just like the restless to a mission bell I must run to her, meet her everywhere As her music fills the universe She leaves the dancing visions Of her image on the water And precious stones upon the shore From every distant corner Like diamonds in the light They shine beyond the stars She moves just like an angel She’s the mistress of all time Just like the restless to a mission bell I must run to her, meet her everywhere As her music fills the universe She dances on the seven seas Dances on the ocean Sunlight on her golden hair Shapes of pure emotion Her voice is heard like Crystal words across the sky She moves me like an angel She’s the mistress of all time She moves me like an angel A voice of pure emotion Her tears are like a rainbow … UNIVERSAL WHEELS NATURES RETALIATION All the fields are Smoke and flame, fire in the sky It’s a state of emergency Much more than meets the eye Just hide away your tears There are many more hidden fears As the universal wheels Go round n’ round n’ round Rivers of pollution Taking life from living things Running out of oxygen There is no way to win We ignore the signs of nature Got to learn to live beside her As the universal wheels Go round n’ round n’ round Better take good care of All the things you say and do Round n’ round n’ round Look out for the warning sign Now it’s up to you There’s a mighty eight point six Waiting in the ground When she opens up This world will humble to the sound There is only one real power Creating life by the hour See the universal wheels See the universal wheels See the universal wheels Go round n’ round n’ round n’ round FEAR OF FALLING FALSE TRUST I've been standing here Waiting for you But I don't quite know What I'm gonna do So I drag my heels and I scratch the dust And I rub my hands So I can feel my blood I see the rain clouds forming The dream is disappearing And I need it more than you But you've got the power with you You told me lies to protect the truth But you won't admit What you're really gonna do So you hold me to ransom Every chance you get And you tie me down So I'm a broken man I see the future fading The dream is disappearing And I need it more than you But you've got the power with you Your words are out of touch But they don't help me much 'Cause I fear the fear of falling You seem to hear no warning Your words are out of touch This dream won't come to much 'Cause I fear the fear of falling Why can't you hear me calling Forever calling You change the rules The colour of your skin And then slam the door So I can't reach in I've tried so hard to be heard So you think you know it all But I'll steal the last word I've watched the daylight fading The dream is disappearing And I need it more than you But you've got the power with you Your words are out of touch But they don't help me much 'Cause I fear the fear of falling You seem to hear no warning Your words are out of touch Your dream won't come to much 'Cause I fear the fear of falling Why can't you hear my warning Your words are out of touch This dream won't come to much 'Cause I fear the fear of falling Don't you hear my warning Your words are out of touch This dream won't come to much 'Cause I fear the fear of falling Can't you hear me calling The dream is disappearing 'Cause you've got the power with you So here we are This dream has gone too far So here we are This dream has gone too far SPIRIT OF FREEDOM REALISING THE NEW WORLD I know instinctively When something is right With no one there to save me You came into my life The words you whispered Still echo in my mind Forget about tomorrow Forget about time So good to be alive and touch The spirit of freedom in your soul In your soul So good to breathe the air And feel that life is worth living Way down deep inside There's no time to waste in this life There's no time at all So good to see the truth and touch The spirit of freedom I never thought that I could ever feel this way To see the warmest sunlight On a cold and rainy day Dawn wakes the silence And I know that I can't wait To hear the words I wanna say again and again So good to be alive and touch The spirit of freedom in your soul In your soul So good to breathe the air And feel that life is worth living Way down deep inside There's no time to waste in this life There's no time at all There's no time to waste in this life There's no time at all So good to be alive and touch The spirit of freedom - in your soul In your soul So good to breathe the air And feel that life is worth living Way down deep inside There's no time to waste in this life There's no time at all So good to be alive and touch The spirit of freedom In your soul LOGICAL PROGRESSION NEW PERCEPTIONS You say her love has gone forever And something has gone from your soul It's left you so cold Though you wish you had the answer The question is always untold Always on hold What's in the mirror What do you see It's a logical progression When you think that you lost all that time It's all in your mind What's in the mirror What do you see Lay down now and close your eyes It's only just begun 'Cause mind and body Flow in perpetual motion Set free all your memories They're tearing you apart 'Cause you know that Love is the only direction The reputation that you live by Says something about what's inside Nowhere to hide There is no amount of heartache That could ever Wash over this burning Forever learning Look in the mirror Will you do it all again Lay down now and close your eyes It's only just begun 'Cause mind and body Flow in perpetual motion Set free all your memories They're tearing you apart 'Cause you know that Love is the only direction You got time on your side You know you'll find The truth within you You got time on your side As the seconds tick away Love is waiting for you You got time on your side You say her love has gone forever And the image has left you so cold Still in your soul There's no way you're gonna turn back You'll never wash over this burning Forever learning Look in the mirror Will you do it all again Lay down now and close your eyes It's only just begun 'Cause mind and body Flow in perpetual motion Set free all your memories They're tearing you apart 'Cause you know that Love is the only direction Lay down now and close your eyes It's only just begun 'Cause mind and body Flow in perpetual motion You got time on your side As the seconds tick away Love is waiting for you LOVE IN SILENCE KNOW YOURSELF This is our world, our future These are our times I believe we have to see In silence there's no mystery The world is so busy talking What do they know They're missing out on being alive Words are turning into lies We're looking for love to guide us What do we know The truth is never to be told It's waiting there inside your soul The innocent join In fighting so easily In a world of pain and war Who knows what they're fighting for What they're fighting for Oh, what they're fighting for What they're fighting for Many rivers running out to sea One heart with a cry for love Many dreamers in a moonlit sky One sigh and they are gone Love is the one direction that leads to truth Knowing in your heart what's right You'll walk upon the sea of light There's something in love and silence That you can find Know yourself and all around Listen to the only sound Many rivers running out to sea One heart with a cry for love Many dreamers in a moonlit sky One sigh and they are gone … WORDS IN THE DISTANCE LOVE AWARENESS Dancing with danger Tears in my eyes Love ain't no stranger So many goodbyes Words in the distance Are calling me Just when I thought I could make a a new start Here comes another fire Burning in my heart Words in the distance Are calling me And to get to heaven You gotta go through hell I cut my heart on the wishing well You know that I'm crazy I'm just a fool To say I love I love I love you You know that I'm crazy, just a fool To say I love I love I love you My senses burning from The heat of your skin Deeper than deep I feel you moving in, oh Words in the distance Are calling me And to get to heaven You gotta go through hell I cut my heart on the wishing well You know that I'm crazy, I'm just a fool To say I love I love I love you, well You know that I'm crazy, just a fool To say I love I love I love you I love you I hold this moment of magic I hold it in my hand A single moment of heaven Don't you know that I'm crazy I'm just a fool To say I love I love I love you, yeah You know that I'm crazy, just a fool To say I love I love I love you … Don't you know I love you baby Can't you feel it in my heart, yeah And I don't know what to say, no Well I've got a fire in my soul I don't know which way to go Or I don't know what to do, no FIRES OF HELL (Your Only Son) THE FUTILITY OF WAR Oh, I was born your only son And I will think of you Before this day is done The fires of hell surround me now So I must fight for freedom Against their raging guns In all my life I never said How much I loved you In all this time I never really said I cared This war is wrong and so I write these words Before I give my life to the Somme In all my life I never said How much I loved you In all this time I never really knew you The fires of hell surround me The guns of hell Will take my breath away From my life this day The fires of hell surround me The words I say must never disappear Keep them locked inside your heart I can hear the piper's song And it will play for me Before this day is done So I will hold my head up high If I must give my life To stop their raging guns In all my life I never said How much I loved you In all this time I never really knew you The fires of hell surround me The guns of hell Will take my breath away From my life this day The fires of hell surround me The words I say must never disappear Keep them locked inside your heart … Oh, I was born your only son And I thank God for that and That that will be done DREAM ON BEING, IN LOVE Album version Been travelling this road for so

RIVERS Would you give me one more chance If I agree to your demands Or will you turn the knife Keep me in pain till I can’t take no more Would you take the breath of my life Or are you lookin’ for something I never do right I should be the one to let go I could free your body and soul So here we stand like actors in a play On an empty stage Not knowin’ what to say I tried so hard to get through to you ‘Cos don’t you know I still need you Oh, I need you If I ask for one more night Would you let me bathe in your light Would you let me cover you up And wrap myself around you So you feel my love Is this just the heat of the day Or am I really feelin’ this way I see your silent teas before the storm I feel the breeze from a love that’s gone You’ve always walked on the open sand You’d risk it all so I’d reach out my hand I tried so hard to hold on to you ‘Cos don’t you know I still need you Sail the river and drift away Find yourself on another day Don’t reach out You have to hold me in bay ‘Cos I will always follow you Take a knife and cut me down Spill my blood Watch it fall to the ground There’s no way to turn me around ‘Cos I will always follow you Be a part of you If I was to offer my life I’d give it up just to Bathe in your light And you could have it You could have it all My heart, my body, my soul Is this just the heat of the day Or am I really feelin’ this way I wipe away the tears Before the storm I feel the breeze From a love that’s gone So here we stand with nothing left to say I give it all but you turn me away I tried so hard to get through to you But don't you know I still need you Sail the river and drift away Find yourself on another day Don’t reach out You have to hold me in bay ‘Cos I will always follow you Take a knife and cut me down Spill my blood Watch it fall to the ground There’s no way to turn me around ‘Cos I will always follow you Be a part of you Sail the river and drift away Find yourself on another day Sail the river and drift
