1. My Choice (single version)
Is it not the choosing that makes the life we live so intricate?
Are the opetions we have too endless to control?
Can we oversee the offers and their demands and their goals?
Can we oversee our own needs if we don’t know
What it is we really want?
Our minds, instead of our hearts
What we feel confuses our thoughts
Security, an ancient quest
Standing alone, the ultimate test
Still we search for warmth in the materialized luxuries in life
The times have changed but we are still the same
Another choice ‘cause we still don’t know
Chorus:
Let me see where I belong
Let me be a little part of it
Can I choose my way in life?
Can I dream, can I feel, could I know my choice?
A choice without the illusion that luck is for sale
‘cause I have all that money can buy!
Choir:
A choice means freedom
And endless options
Can we survey that?
Can freedom be controlled?
The options’s bitter
It leaves a part of you behind the borders of your choice
Chorus:
Let me see where I belong
Let me be a little part of it
Can I choose my way in life?
Can I dream, can I feel, could I know my choice?
Let me see where I belong
Let me be a little part of it
Can I choose my way in life?
Can I dream, can I feel, could I know my choice?
2. The Evil That Men Do (single version)
music – lyrics: P. Dickinson / S. Harris / A. Smith
c 1988 Adrian Smith Enterprises LTD / Zomba Music Publishers LTD
Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with
The slaughter of innocence
But will pray for her.
I will call her name out loud.
I would bleed for her.
If only I could see her now.
Living on a razors edge.
Balancing on a ledge.
Living on a razors edge.
The evil that men do lives on and on.... (4 times)
Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me.
But I will pray for you.
And some day I may return.
I would die for you.
Beyond is where I learn.
3. My Choice (alternative version)
Is it not the choosing that makes the life we live
so intricate?
Are the opetions we have too endless to control?
Can we oversee the offers and their demands and
their goals?
Can we oversee our own needs if we don’t know
What it is we really want?
Our minds, instead of our hearts
What we feel confuses our thoughts
Security, an ancient quest
Standing alone, the ultimate test
Still we search for warmth in the materialized
luxuries in life
The times have changed but we are still the same
Another choice ‘cause we still don’t know
Chorus:
Let me see where I belong
Let me be a little part of it
Can I choose my way in life?

Choir:

And endless options
Can we survey that?
Can freedom be controlled?
The options’s bitter
It leaves a part of you behind the borders of your
choice
Chorus:
Let me see where I belong
Let me be a little part of it
Can I choose my way in life?
Can I dream, can I feel, could I know my choice?
Let me see where I belong
Let me be a little part of it
Can I choose my way in life?
Can I dream, can I feel, could I know my choice?
4. My Pledge of Allegiance #1 (The Sealed Fate)
She kept her beauty concealed behind a curtain of suspense
And endures her fate, molded by an ancient culture
The honour wasn't allowed to be injured
She is going to live as her community expects her to
I find myself confined between furtive desires and feelings of guilt
The letter :
These are my last words, I'm gonna leave you
I can't stand your narrow mindedness any longer
Forgive me...
