01. Dream

The time that the dreaming had started
No patience to fall in a deep sleep
Vision's coming through strong
Found something was wrong
Please give me a key to a door
And worry no more
Of me when I die and leave here
If the dream will blind you, will remind you
A dream reminds you, always shines through

Shows the light that took me from my fears
On the days when I'm hating my life
I'll never know why
It seems there's too much to remember
Leading me to my final goodbye

My tongue rids me of the truth

That no one will know
If the dream will blind you, will remind you

A dream reminds you, always shines through
Of me when I die and leave here
Shows the light that took me from my fears
That I'm standing in a place
I open my eyes to find
On my final resting place
And I'm looking down...

A hand that touches my face
Wipes away my tears
If the dream will blind you, always blinds you

Of me when I die and leave here
A dream reminds you, always shines through

If the dream will blind you, will remind you
Of me when I die and leave here
Shows the light that took me from my fears
A dream reminds you, always shines through
Shows the light that took me from my fears

02. Easy Living

This is a thing I've never known before
It's called easy livin'
This is a place I've never seen before
And I've been forgiven

Easy livin'
And I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place
In my heart

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find ya
Day after day on that windly road
I had walked behind ya

Easy livin'
And I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place
In my heart

Waitin', watchin', wishin' my whole life away
Dreamin', thinkin', ready for my happy day
And some easy livin'

Somewhere along the lonely road
I had tried to find you
Day after day on that windy road
I had walked behind you

Easy livin'
And I've been forgiven
Since you've taken your place
In my heart

03. The Angel Comes

What an evil look
Of your existence
That showed your true side
And all the bad things you hide
Simple distracion
The way you bring us down (down, down...)
Because you like us
Always will invite us
To wear the exact same frown
Why is it like this? (Why is it like this?)

No pleasure is allowed
The angel comes and shows her face
Why do you like it? (Why do you like it?)
You like this pain that makes you proud

The angel comes and shows her face
And puns you in your righteous place
And puns you in your righteous place
What happened in your life

That made you feel so cold
Lies from the past come forth
And never take a hold

The need to breathe
Never before this have I felt
The time has come now
The choice is made you know

I have to leave
Why is it like this? (Why is it like this?)
No pleasure all despair
Why do you like it (Why do you like it?)
This is the pain you think is fair

The angel comes and shows her face
And puns you in your righteous place
And puns you in your righteous place
The angel comes and shows her face

About the time the dreaming had stopped
That's when I fear that you're gone

That's when I feel...
The angel comes and shows her face
And puns you in your righteous place
And puns you in your righteous place
The angel comes and shows her face

And puns you in your righteous place
The angel comes and shows her face
The angel comes and shows the way

And puns you in your righteous place
That's when I fear that you are gone
About the time the dreaming had stopped
Never before this have I felt, never before...

04. Until The End

Off into the room
He sees her all around
Surprised him that she sat right down
Was not to be replaced
The smile upon her face
Has to last him all his life
Deep inside is where she'll find
Until the end, oh until the...
The only heart that's on his mind

The only heart that's on his mind
Deep inside is where she'll find
Until the end, oh until the end
Everything they shared

Took advantage of the time
As if it was a dream
They ran into a wall
Setting themselves up
Enjoyed it all before the fall

Deep inside is where she'll find
The only heart that's on his mind

Until the end, oh until the end
The only heart that's on his mind
Deep inside is where she'll find
Until the end, oh until the end

For each other, they shall pray
Every single day

And what their life's like now
They wonder where they are
Hoping there is a time
Knowing that it went to far
When they will meet again together (together, together...)
Always 'til the end

The only heart that's on his mind
Until the end, oh until the end
Deep inside is where she'll find

Deep inside is where she'll find
The only heart that's on his mind
Until the end, oh until the end

05. Within Yourself

Do you think one can walk away from there?
Using their energy and all that they can spare
The more that they wait the better, the chance that they will lose
Arrange ideas in order that you'll use them
Have the power, take control
Within yourself, within yourself, within yourself
In your own mind live within yourself
It takes some time for destiny to show it's face

Reality it seems will never take it's place
Whatever is done can always work out in the end
But maybe there's no way to make ammends

In your own mind live within yourself
Within yourself, within yourself, within yourself

Have the power, take control
The minutes and seconds of all that was late
The crossing of lives small brushes with fate

Using your energy that's keeping you in fear
Do you think you can walk away from here?
There are no excuses and no one is to shame
The one in the mirror is the one who's to blame
In your own mind, in your soul

Have the power, take control
Within yourself, within yourself, within yourself
Have the power, take control
In your own mind live within yourself
Within yourself, within yourself, within yourself...

06. Three Generations

The father stands above him
High fist in the air
The little boy that stands before
He dreams he wasn't there
Imagination takes him to a place

The dream was perfect but it's dying away (dying away)
It takes him somewhere he can hide his face
Sitting, staring out the window through the day
Before now he had thought that it was such a waste
Listen to the sounds, remember the taste

Twenty years have now past
Boy's grown to a man
Trying not to be just like his dad
The best he can

Now there is three his own son he'll discard

Separation of their two lives is hard
High fist in the air
The father stands above him
The little boy that stands before
He dreams he wasn't there

Imagination takes him to a place
It takes him somewhere he can hide his face
The dream was perfect but it's dying away (dying away)

Sitting, staring out the window through the day
Listen to the sounds, remember the taste
Before now he had thought that it was such a waste
Twenty years have now past
The best he can
Boy's grown to a man
Trying not to be just like his dad

Separation of their two lives is hard
Now there is three, his own son he'll discard

Sitting, staring out the window through the day
The dream was perfect but it's dying away (dying away)
Listen to the sounds, remember the taste

Before now he had thought that it was such a waste
Somehow he is the same
Though he is not sure who's to blame
Tried with such passion to change all along

Not seeing what he's done is just as wrong
He sits along an old man scorned
He waits for his dream to be born

The dream was perfect but it's dying away (dying away)
Listen to the sounds, remember the taste
Before now he had thought that it was such a wasteSitting, staring out the window through the day

07. Chained

[Instrumental]

08. Freedom

Travelled from the home so far
For a price of everything he has
A man said he would take them
beyond your faith not saying
Promise of some hope and dreams
Never saying that your life will be at stake
(Freedom) Where is their home?
(Freedom) Never finding it's embrace
Not a country or a place
(Freedom) Where is their home?
(Freedom) Never finding it's embrace (embrace)
Such a desperate face
Shots heard from the ridge upon the hill
Take them to a place where you can hide
Take you child and run now

But no promise of a means to help survive
Offers of hope asylum they provide

(Freedom) Where is their home?
Not a country or a place

(Freedom) Where is their home?
(Freedom) Never finding it's embrace
Such a desperate face
(Freedom) Never finding it's embrace
When can a person who is sleeping in the streets
Take back a part of their life from a time when they were complete
(Freedom) Where is their home?
Not a country or a place

(Freedom) Where is their home?
(Freedom) Never finding it's embrace
Such a desperate face
(Freedom) where is their home?
(Freedom) Never finding it's embrace

(Freedom) Never finding it's embrace
Not a country or a place
(Freedom) where is their home?
Such a desperate face
(Freedom) Never finding it's embrace

09. Take Me In

On the hill she spreads her wings
With her anger she does sing
Tells me to walk away
Listen to what she has to say
Stands beside me through the day
Watches nightfall as I lay
Gives faith of what's beyond to find
The vision in my mind

She is my angel, protects me always
And take me in
Comes to the rescue, her wings will come

I was the chosen one, you chose to watch over

The moment that I fall, you're always there to...
Take me in...
Don't stay away if I turn my back on you
If you listen to the sounds of the voice inside
This will be the meeting with your own angel
I know I don't deserve mine
In my eyes I know I've failed her

But still she watches with disgust on her face
The moment that I die, her wings will come
She is my angel, spirits there always
And take me in

10. Forgive Me

In my eyes I know I've failed her
I'm not the person that everyone thinks (I am)
Over my shoulder she will linger
Witness my sins but she never blinks
I know I don't deserve her
But still she watches with disgust on her face
When will I come to my senses
So she will never have to be disgraced because of me again
Another person, a bad side to their life

I know that everyone must certainly have one
For reasons known I cannot explain
I should go down by the blade of her knife

I know I don't deserve her
Of all the sins and wrong that I must confess
Done without bad intentions
Of ever hurting anyone this is something that I must (stress)
Please forgive me

Please forgive me
Now that I have told you all about this
Who do I ask for this absolution?
I wipe the tears of my disgrace (from you)
My fingers sliding down your face
You show no fear to take some blame
Would it, could it ever be the same

Of won't you please just tell me...?
Please forgive me
Now that I have told you all about this
Please forgive me
Who do I ask for this absolution?
Now that I have told you all about this

Please forgive me
Please forgive me
Who do I ask for this absolution?

11. Whisper

Feeling in my bones
As a chill is running down my spine
Said what I had to say
Is it when I asked you: are you the divine?
Did what I had to do waiting for a sign
As she dances among us
With a feel that's known to trust
Asking please, oh please whisper this way

Whisper in my ear that you will stay
Tired of waking up
The lines on my face were so deep and in disgrace
(Whisper in my ear that you will stay)
Over and over again

The thoughts were clear before
I sit in a corner room, awaiting for you to help
As she dances among us

With a feel that's known to trust
Asking please, oh please whisper this way
Whisper in my ear that you will stay
(Whisper in my ear that you will stay)

The father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Can you tell me? Will you tell me?
They shall remain
You'll whisper this way

12. The Union

Just before the fall...
You see me run to a place that's facing hope again
To change the way I feel...
The way I feel

The story that must show the way...
Missing line's not there to tell

I was wrong, so wrong
I realize there is no way to return
A fantasy that opens to the world...
Of the union

Ever before, never again turn on you
Even the wait, if it is great comes with truth
Why must time be for so long?

Ever before, never again turn on you
Time not forgotten
Can it be regained?
With no restrictions

Is there a place where they can hide?
Could it be the same as before?
The journey now begins inside
It comes with no guarantee
Believing in the fantasy

Fear the resentment of what it is they'll say
Risking so many, what a price to pay like before
The journey now begins with pride
Is there a place where we can hide?
It comes with no guarantee
The union of the fantasy

Even the wait, if it is great comes with truth
Ever before, never again turn on you
Ever before, never again turn on you
Why must time be for so long?

Together, forever that is all that we should feel
The union of us two will be the one dream that is real
We should go anywhere to live in the love of life
Fueled by the memories of a thousand lonely nights
Ever before, never again turn on you

Even the wait, if it is great comes with truth
Why must time be for so long?

Ever before, never again turn on you
Even the wait, if it is great comes with truth
Why must time be for so long?
Ever before, never again turn on you
Ever before, never again turn on you
