01. The Diamond Overture

[Instrumental]

02. Warrior

Into the darkness that all men must face
Within the brief hours, of your life here on Earth
Pain thrashed into his life, the great prince stood firm
Behind his high and mighty shield, awaiting his turn

Shield at his side, cloak across his breast
His love and his life, they put him through the test
Shine on, shine on, in all of your glory
Shield all your fears, release all your fury

Shine, shine on, through the darkness and the pain
Shine, shine on, Warrior
Shine, shine on, through the wind and the rain
Shine, shine on, Warrior

Shield at his side, cloak across his breast
His love and his life, they put him to the test
Shine on, shine on, in all of your glory
Shield all you fears, release all your fury

Shine, shine on, through the darkness and the pain
Shine, shine on, Warrior
Shine, shine on, through the wind and the rain
Shine, shine on, Warrior

Shine, shine on, shine on

03. Beautiful Day

The heart is a bloom, shoots up through the stony ground
But there's no room, no space to rent in this town
You're out of luck and the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck and you're not moving anywhere
You thought that you'd found a friend to take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand in return for grace

It's a beautiful day
The sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

You're on the road but you've got no destination
You're in the mud, in the maze of her imagination
You love this town even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over and it's been all over you

It's a beautiful day
The sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

Touch me, take me to the other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light and
See the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colours came out

It's a beautiful day
The sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

Touch me, take me to the other place
Teach me, I know I'm not a hopeless case

What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Need it now

It's a beautiful day
The sky falls and you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

Touch me, take me to the other place

It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away

04. Stone

Tangled dream and endless highways
Bang the drum in a foreign land
Sometimes I wonder just what I'm chasing
When all I need is the touch of your hand

But I've got no fixed abode I'm out of my own
Babe it gets so cold
Without your love I'm just a stone
Without your love I'm just a stone
Without your love

We all laugh and the jokes get wilder
Staying up, staying out
When we're drinking fade away into the morning
And the strangest cold eats deeper still

But I've got no fixed abode I'm out of my own
Babe it gets so cold
Without your love I'm just a stone
Without your love I'm just a stone
Without your love I'm just a stone

Without your sweet kiss I'm gone forever and
Without your touch I have no control
Without your love I'm just a looser
Without your love I'm just a stone
I'm just a stone without your love

I'm just a stone
Without your love I'm just a stone
Without your love I'm just a stone
Without your love I'm just a stone
Without your love, without your love
Without your love I'm just a stone

05. Love Gun

I really love you baby
I love what you've got
Let's get together we can get hot
No more tomorrow, baby
Time is today
And girl I can make you feel okay

No place for hidin' baby
And no place to run
And you pull the trigger of my
Love gun, love gun, love gun

And you can't forget me baby
Don't try to lie
And you'll never leave me, mama
So don't try
And I'll be a gambler, baby
Lay down the bet
When we get together, mama
You'll sweat

No place for hidin' baby
And no place to run
And you pull the trigger of my
Love gun, love gun, love gun
Love gun, love gun, love gun

No place for hidin' baby
And no place to run
And you pull the trigger of my
Love gun, love gun, love gun
Love gun, love gun, love gun

06. Fools Game

When I met you, oh
You know at first you had me so confused
I used to lay awake at night
Just copin' with the feelings I so long refused, yeah

Well I surrendered my love
I saw you turn your love from cold to ice, darlin'
I put my heart on the line for you, yeah
I put my heart on the line, yeah

First you take me to the highest ground
Then you keep me hanging like some foolish clown

It's such a fool's game, yeah
It's such a fool's game
I keep playing such a fool's game, yeah
I keep on playin', I keep on playin' this fool's game

I can't take another sleepless night
It's time to light the fire down inside of you
I don't mind, I have the sun on my back
To get a feeling that you never knew, you never knew

Got the secret in the palm of your hands
Will you keep it woman, will you break this man

It's such a fool's game
Girl I know you're playing a fool's game, yeah
It's such a fool's game
You keep playing such a fool's game
Fool's game

Girl I know, you're playin' full time
But I may be too late, when you make up your mind

A fool's game
I keep playing such a fool's game
Got me playing this fool's game
Forever keep on playin'
I keep playing this fool's game, yeah
You got me caught up, you got me caught up in this fool's game
Oh, I got my heart in the line
You got me caught in this fool's game
You keep on playin', you keep on playin' this fool's game
I got my heart in the line, my heart in the line
Uh, fool's game
You got me playinh this fool's game
Fool's game

07. Heartbreaker

Well my maker
Must have been a hard heartbreaker
I said my maker
Must have been a hard heartbreaker
I'll tell you why
I'll tell you why

I'm breaking my own heart
Yes I am, tryin'... to love a faker
Heartbreaker

Like a blind man
My little house is on fire
Just like a blind man
My little house is on fire, is on fire

I'm burning my own eyes out
Tryin'... to reach the door
Tryin'... to love a faker

Well the sun is shining
But it sure don't seem to reach my heart
Well the sun is shining
But it sure, it sure don't seem to reach my heart

I'm wasting my whole life
Tryin'... to make a new start

Make a new start
Make a new, a new start
Make a new, make a new start

08. Rock The Nation

All Right! Come on, now! Oooh yeah!

Ain't gonna quit until it all comes out
Gonna do it, ain't nothin' to it

09. In The Air Tonight

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord
Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord

Well, if you told me you were drowning
I would not lend a hand
I've seen your face before my friend
But I don't know if you know who I am
Well, I was there and I saw what you did
I saw it with my own two eyes
So you can wipe off the grin, I know where you've been
It's all been a pack of lies, oh

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment all my life, oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment all of my life, oh lord

Well I remember, I remember don't worry
How could I ever forget
It's the first time, the last time we ever met
But I know the reason why you keep your silence up
No you don't fool me
The hurt doesn't show, but the pain still grows
It's no stranger to you or me

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment all of my life, oh lord

I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord
I've been waiting for this moment all of my life, oh lord
I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord, ohhh
I can feel it coming in the air tonight
I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh lord, oh lord
Oh, I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh lord, oh lord

10. Like A Child Again

I'm not scared of the dark when I sleep with you, with you
And I'm feeling alive
And I'm feeling strong again when I'm with you, with you
And it hits me
Just like a runaway train
And it blows me away
Just like a hurricane
You can make me happy and I hope you feel the same
You make me feel just like a child, a child again

I'm not trapped anymore
Between Madonna and the whore when I lay with you, with you
And the days run away
Like wild horses run away when I'm with you, with you

And I'm breathing you in (breathing you in)
Just like the morning air
And I'm wrapping you around (around)
Just like a skin to wear
You can make me happy and I hope you feel the same
You make me feel just like a child, a child again

Oh sweet thing
I'm born once again
For you sweet thing
Just like a baby again
You make me happy and I hope you feel the same
And I'm in heaven and it feels like a gentle rain
You make me happy and I want you to feel the same
You make me feel like a child, a child again

11. Won´t Get Fooled Again

We'll be fighting in the streets
With our children at our feet
And the morals that they worshiped will be gone
And the men who spurred us on
Sit in judgement of all wrong
He decides and the shotgun sings the song

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a vow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray
We don't get fooled again, fooled again, yeah

The change it had to come
We knew it all along
We were liberated from the fold, that's all
And the world looks just the same
And history ain't changed
'Cause the banners, they were flown in the last war

I'll tip my hat to the new constitution
Take a vow for the new revolution
Smile and grin at the change all around
Pick up my guitar and play
Just like yesterday
Then I'll get on my knees and pray, yeah
We don't get fooled again, don't, don't get fooled again

I'll move myself and my family aside
If we happen to be left half alive
I'll get all my papers and smile at the sky
Though I know that the hypnotized never lie
Do ya

Yeah
Meet the new boss
Same as the old boss
I'll tip to the new revolution
We don't get fooled again
Don't get fooled again
