Verse 1
I woke up sunday morning with the stars in my eyes
I can hear them singing as the sun began to rise
Chorus
See the people all dancing laughing at life
Celebrating their living by being alive
Verse 2
I don't know exactly why I feel the way that I do
I don't know why their singing but I feel like singing too
Celebrating down in the streets below
What have they got that makes them feel that way
I wanna know yes I want to know
Chorus
Chorus
Verse 3
See the people, see the people, see the people (laughing at life)
see the people (laughing at life on this celebration day
celebrating every way (laughing at life) on this celebration day
(laughing at life) celebration every way.......

MOTHER RUSSIA
05:35
|

Verse 1
The Czar that once guided us now has divided us
Tell me how were we to know
We never asked for gold or silk, we only wanted bread and milk
to feed our children as they grow
See the change in me, I don't want to be what I see I am now
Verse 2
The leaders that rule us, so playfully fool us,
its all that we can do to stay alive
Its just the system that we forsake, there watching every move we make
It isn't easy to survive
See the change in me, I don't want to be what I see I am now
Bridge
I'm not surprised that you closed your eyes when we killed the Czar
Can you hear the cries of land that fly's the bright red star
A chance we had to take it's our very own mistake but don't you see
The war machines and the victory scenes will never be our home
Mother russia russia russia mother russia russia russia...........

LADY OF MY DREAMS
03:33
|
|||
Verse 1
You know how much it hurts me when you cry
And all those times I lied to you, I never could see why
And all those things I said are lost inside my head
An d I'd rather die than make you cry again
All this time now I see....
Chorus
You are the answer to my prayers, a girl who really cares
You are the lady of my dreams and I love you can't you see
Verse 2
(Apologies) Apologies are only words that echo in the night
Like the loneliness I find
But if I could hold you for an hour as the sun begins to rise
I'm sure we'd see love could be so kind
All this time now I see...
Chorus
You are the answer to my prayers, a girl who really cares
You are the lady of my dreams and I love you can't you see...
You are the answer to my prayers, a girl who really cares
You are the lady of my dreams and I love you can't you see...
(Why can't you see ?)

SAY YOUR SORRY
03:29
|
|||
Many times I told you I loved you
Many times you made me cry
If you really want to stay together
Your gonna have to apologise
I still believe that you want me
And I don't want to see this end
But you gonna have to say your sorry
So we can start all over again (Start all over again)
You thought I could not hear you
When you were always talking me down
You probably thought I could not see you
When you were running around and around
And now you tell me you need me
You always want to be my friend
Well your gonna have to say your sorry
So we can start all over (Start all over again
Say your sorry
Now you tell me you want me
You say you wanna be my friend
Well your gonna have to say your sorry
So we can start all over (Start all over again)
Say your sorry

VOICE OF LIFE
04:13
|
|||
So this where it leads us
We've lost ourselves and found
The Voice Of Life that feeds us without sight or sound'
Oh let me take you with me, Oh let me take you, take you
I close my eyes and I dream of a place
where smiles shine on every face, in every word in every sound
in all it's beauty life is found
Oh let me take you with me, Oh let me take you, take you
On a trip across the sky, I can see it in your eyes
touch my magic hand and fly, all you've got to do is try - try
Touch me magic hand and we can fly
Only if you really believe, that's when I can make you to be
Anything that you want to be, only if you really believe
So close you eyes and see me, try to understand
I give you life forever, but you must take my hand
and let me take you with me, let me take you - take you
On a trip across the sky, I can see it in your eyes
touch my magic hand and fly, all you've got to do is try
Only if you really believe, that's when I can make you to be
Anything that you want to be, only if you really believe
Let me take you with me, Let me take you with me, Let me take you....

LAND OF MORDER
04:09
|

I'll see you in the Land Of Mordor, death awaits you at the border
Pass on through the gates of thunder, destroy the ring of power and wonder
Shadows increasing, peace throughout the land decreasing
Evil mist flows through the valley, sirens wailing never ceasing
From out this baron and empty land, nations formed from brick and sand
Now is almost as before, peace in middle earth no more
Black riders on the very trail, hobbit's mission cannot fail
Ring m ust end volcanic fire, from whence they came of evil desire (desire)
I'll see you in the land of mordor, death awaits you at the border (I'll see you)
Pass on through the gates of thunder, destroy the ring of power and wonder (pass on through)
Black rider plague the countryside, from ghostly eyes they see inside
Your mind is turning bodies burning, riders slip into the night
Brainwashed robots dying fast, shadows of grey will never last
Ring is hidden from your sight, your candles may burn slow tonight
The tower crumbles to the ground
Rings of power to be found from out the shire
Shadows growing ever higher....
I'll take and crush you in my hand, erase you from this very land
(White is good) but black is strong, with the power of the rings I can't go wrong
Sauron your true colors fade, darkness turns to misty grey
The rings are gone the sun is high, Mordor fades into the dust (dust)

SMOKE AND FIRE
04:50
|
|||
Some will see the light
Some will see the show
Some will hear the sound
Some will never know
Some will see the smoke
Some will see the fire
The sound is still the same
The music takes you higher
And if you hear a voice tell me what you hear
And if you see a vision tell me what you see
And if your still confused - Read between the lines
It's eight o'clock on a saturday night
and the band is about to start
From all the hype they should be the type
That'll blow this town apart
Its what we think should be, it's what we'd like to see
Through the smoke, through the fire
Standing at the dressing room door
Two people stand a woman 14 and a child of 24
Intentions much the same (it's easy to see
They both wanna play the game, that's why we came
And they really don't know our names....
Now you see the light
Now you see the show
Now you hear the sound
I think that you should know
Now you see the smoke
Now you see the fire
The sound is still the same
The music takes you higher`

SHADOWCASTER
01:02
|
|||
The question still unanswered as I look at what you've done
You never really told me
Again I ask the question (I ask again)
And I'm waiting for reply
Are you satisfied ?
Your crown is in the gutter there's a liar on the throne
My feet are in the kingdom
Shadowcaster casting shadows, destroying what you've know
Are you satisfied ?
Hell is getting closer as the light begins to fade
(Light begins to fade)
Shadowcaster shadowcaster shadowcaster
Somewhere someone's starving
Just see the mess you've made
Are you satisfied

MARANATHA

Peace I bring you joy is yours forever
Standing in the streets of an empty city
Wondering where the son's gone trying to turn the lights on
Darkness on the deeps as the rain keeps falling
Screaming fills my ears as I seek for silence
Changes must be made.....
Children cry rape as the water rises
Smile - it's all that you need for awhile
Cause people get harder to take if you make the mistake of letting them cry
Forty days, forty nights, forty days
Rain keeps falling water still rising
Lord of lords, god of gods, light of lights
Sodom-gomorrah/detroit and chicago
Mountain of beauty, garden of splendour
Accepting a gift and not knowing the sender
The cities are drowning, lord where would we be
If the snake and the apple were still on the tree
Peace I bring you joy is yours forever
Mountain of beauty, garden of splendour
Accepting a gift and rejecting the sender
Cities are drowning, christ where would we be
If the snake and the apple were back on the tree
Crying in the night to an empty feeling
Love is long gone......
Freedom steps out as the lady in waiting
Spectres laugh at love's rejection
I've never really seen my own reflection
Blood must flow as peace seeks freedom
Smile - it's all that you need for awhile
cause people get harder to take if you make the mistake of letting them cry
Don't cry....
Lord of lords, god of gods, light of light
Sodom-gomorrah/detroit and chicago
Maranatha, maranatha, maranatha - smile.......
