01. In The Beginning

Pages were written turn yellow the age of the rhyme
Sadly confused by us with the passing of time
Oh no, I tell you no lie no madman am I
Give me another chance and another way
Give me another time and another day
Give me a part in another play

Silken the hand that has touched me and helped me till now
Torment replaces the feelings the faces somehow
Oh no, I tell you no lie no madman am I
Give me another chance and another way
Give me another time and another day
Give me a part in another play

Words that are whispered surround me and call to my ear
Courage embrace me though tears may forsake me I fear
Oh no, I tell you no lie no madman am I
Give me another chance and another way
Give me another time and another day
Give me a part in another play

Will someone take my place
I'm the prince of dreams but no one knows my face
I've come to rest my mind
Help me understand and see what I can find
What's this before me now
What's that behind

It's the prophet of the morning star
He's not so blind
He calls to me so clear
Saying very soon sorrow will be here
But before they pull you down
There's just one chance for you to stay around
Or else a war to end all wars
Sink without a trace

I am the prince of dreams
And you shall know my face
Find the light that shines on everyone
Someone shines the light for me
Look inside yourself to understand
The questions answered now I see
I am your light, I am your light,
I am your god given light

02. Baby Rock Me

Well I got nothing to lose I've paid my dues
Ain't got no one to deceive but that don't make me grieve
You gotta rock me baby rock me
You gotta rock me baby rock me
You gotta rock me baby rock me
Now if you're looking to please well then that's all I need
But when you're giving up me head remember what I said

You gotta rock me baby rock me
You gotta rock me baby rock me
You gotta rock me baby rock me

Now if you give me your time well then I'm feeling fine
But if you give me your love there ain't no one above

You gotta rock me baby rock me
You gotta rock me baby rock me
You gotta rock me baby rock me

Now if you're looking to please well that's all I need
But when you're giving me head remember what I said

You gotta rock me baby rock me
You gotta rock me baby rock me
You gotta rock me baby rock me

03. Universe

Here we go through the wide open spaces
Oh cold winds blow sands of time in our faces
Beggars plead with others greed in high places
Oh love is won love is lost leaves no traces

Take your eyes across the seas past the mountains
Oh do you hear through it's far someones counting
People write armies fight children shouting
Oh love is warm love is real love's abounding

Who holds the answer to the universe
Who holds the answer to the universe
Who holds the answer to the universe

Eagles fly past the sun to the rainbow
Yes they decide where they're from where they can go
But no one cries someone hides in the shadows
Oh love is kind love is yours love is mellow

Who holds the answer to the universe
Who holds the answer to the universe
Who holds the answer to the universe

04. Kingdom Of Madness

When the night is on the run
And your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul
Beasts of morning then unfold

In a whirlpool sadness creeps
Shadows walk with silent feet
Is there something in the air
Turns your hope into despair?
Despair

Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me on the run

When the night is on the run
And your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul
Beasts of morning then unfold

Take your hands away from me
Leave my eyes so I can see
It's not pleasure that you seek
You destroy the ones who are weak

Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me on the run

The minstrel sings as he looks at me
But he doesn't make a sound
And a lovely time is had by all
As the jester plays around
Everyone's laughing
Everyone's laughing
Everyone's laughing but me

Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me on the run
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness you've got me on the run

05. All That Is Real

Did you ever give all of your heart and your soul for something?
Then they're torn up into pieces one by one
Have you ever considered or promised your faith undying?
Has it ended in a moment for someone?
Because all that is right, all that is real
All that is love, all that you feel
Does not always come true
Does not always come true

Though you learn by the things that you did and have gone before you
And you trust that you won't make the same mistakes
By the time that you realize anything you're only half through
It's the fool who wins for you, it's just too late
Because all that is right, all that is real
All that is love, all that you feel
Does not always come true
Does not always come true

Ask me for answers, none can be heard
Give me your promise, give me your word
Because all that is right, all that is real
All that is love, all that you feel
Does not always come true
Does not always come true
Does not always come true
Does not always come true
Oh yeah, yeah
Does not always come true
Does not always come true

06. Bringer

I feel like I am on another planet
The hunter is on the prowl he's got his eyes on me
Silent I tread because he's tracking me down
Awake in my bed I know he's sneaking around
I see culture disappear before me
A gathering of the few who will be torn apart
Foolish the heart that will succumb just to last
Broken the dream when all this does come to pass
The jackal is king down here
Although he's the great pretender
The jackal will smile and leer
A message of bad news
He is the bringer
A new change has been swept abroad
A new face for us all
My questions shall be ignored
And too soon will we fall
I hear someone talk that does confound me
On carrion he will feed
Strip clean your warm desire
Dreadful the sight to witness carnage revealed
Hungry the jaws that once lay darkly concealed
The jackal is king down here
Although he's the great pretender
The jackal will smile and leer
A message of bad news
He is the bringer

07. Invasion

You wouldn't believe your eyes
You wouldn't believe your ears
Out of the dawning skies
Suddenly it appeared
I wonder why they're here, do they understand?
Seems they will destroy someone's master plan

Looking across the sea
Looking across the land
Wondering what they'll find
Wondering what's at hand
Breathing in the air, feel the falling rain
Getting all prepared for the final day

From out of the crimson air
Suddenly came the fire
Look at the flaming sky
See how the flames grow higher
Alien, your day this not to be
All the people say “let the world be free”

You wouldn't believe your eyes
You wouldn't believe your ears
Into the dawning skies
Suddenly disappeared
Set their course for Mars, leave the world behind
Tracking through the stars, find a different sign

08. Lords Of Chaos

Riders of the night are screaming hard upon my heels
Princely lords of chaos forging black and fiery wheels
And the mother of the earth is being widowed in my sight
Father of deception using wrong instead of right
And the moon overshadows the sun
And the masters of war carry on
While the fools and jokers make fun
Oh, see them run
Sister of illusion bend and follow in their mould
Brother of opinion just remember what you're told
That a weapon in a traitor's hand will harm you twice as bad
Forests of indifference guaranteed to make you mad
And the moon overshadows the sun
And the masters of war carry on
While the fools and jokers make fun
Oh, see them run
They can't be playing
Turning me upside down (down)
They've got me praying
I'll end up in the ground (oh yeah)
When they've burnt up everything
And killed the air for me to breathe
Still they would be thinking there was more they could achieve
Then at last they would be beaten
For alone they all would stand
Looking at each other just as if it had been planned
And the moon disappears with the sun
And the masters are masters of none
While the fools and the jokers are gone
Now they're one
Oh how they run (oh)
They can't be playing
Turning me upside down (down)
They've got me praying
I'll end up in the ground
And the moon overshadows the sun
And the masters are masters of none
While the fools and the jokers are gone
Now they're one

09. All Come Together

The morning slumbers not for me
The sun has gone letting me down
I wake in wonder I can see
The rain has come turning me round
The morning slumbers not for me
The sun has gone letting me down
I wake in wonder I can see
The rain has come turning me round
But it's alright now
Yes it's alright now
Cause it's all come together
In the last few days it's been better
All come together right now
The seven wonders of the world
Were broken and ready to fall
The king lay dying all alone
In sadness I'll always recall
But it's alright now
Yes it's alright now
Cause it's all come together
In the last few days it's been better
All come together right now
I had to feel good feeling good is all I need
You have to start with sad so good means what it means
And there's been lots of sad for me for me
But it's alright now
Yes it's alright now
Cause it's all come together
In the last few days it's been better
All come together right now
I think I've tumbled now at last
I guess there ain't nothing to choose
A fallen angel follows me
It looks like there's no time to lose
But it's alright now
Yes it's alright now
Cause it's all come together
In the last few days it's been better
All come together right now
Breathing in the air feel the falling rain
