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.......

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...........

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 ?)

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

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....

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)

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 10:09
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.......
