1. Tied to A Wheel
I'm tied to a wheel
That's out of control
Spinning through my days
Life's passing in a haze
I'm wandering through time
Names and places cross my mind
Yours comes and goes
More than you'll ever know
It was the last time
The last goodbye
A longing in your eyes so real
It was the last time
The last goodbye
A love I couldn't say I feel
We met, we talked for hours
I felt my heart devoured
Your words, your smile,
Your laughter
Intoxicate my center
Love of my life
Found in one night
Lost the next day...tumbling
Love of my life
Love I can't fight
Will I ever see you again?
I'm tied to a wheel
That's out of control
Spinning through my days
Life's passing in a haze
I'm wandering through time
Names and places cross my mind
Yours comes and goes
More than you'll ever know
We met, we talked for hours
I felt my heart devoured
Your words, your smile,
Your laughter
Intoxicate my center
Love of my life
Found in one night
Lost the next day...tumbling
Love of my life
Love I can't fight
Will I ever see you again?
Love of my life, found in one night
Lost the next day, love I can't fight
Love of my life, found in one night
Tied to a wheel, love I can't fight
Tied to a wheel, I'm out of control
(Chorus)
2. Passing of the Night
An eagle down
They clipped his wings
Could not evade
Never did I think that I would fall
In all that time
I never thought
To face this fate
At least I had the chance to say goodbye
As they shackled my hands
And blindfold me on
Spit on me and call me names unknown
All that I want
Is to make it home some day
To return with honor when the night is gone
Passing of the night
On the horizon
Soaring on my flight
Passing of the night
The sun is rising
Soaring on my flight
My soul now rising
The days that go
The years that come
Yet I live on
I hope I have the strength to see it through
They tear my flesh and crush my bones
To starve my heart
The rampant music rips my mind in two
This 3 by 6 foot cell
I'm down on my knees
I lift my voice in prayer up to my god
Hearken unto me
Cast me not away
Send your angels, lord
To set me free
Passing of the night
On the horizon
Soaring on my flight
Passing of the night
The sun is rising
Soaring on my flight
My soul now rising
(Chorus)
3. A Force to Face My Fears
When our eyes met, I knew I'd seen you
For the last time, the last good bye
We slipped away to a distant world
For the last time, the last good bye
I shouldn't have left you
But know I have kept you
I tucked you way down deep inside
Now, all that remains
Is the lost and torn heart
I'll never see you, the last good bye
I scrape the skies to see what I find
My body falls, unwinds
A vision flares as though I'm there
Love - a force to face my fears
lasting through the years
Love - is always worth the cost
Love - a force to face my fears
lasting through the years
Love - is never really lost
I search my mind and your face I find
I scrape the skies to see what I find
My body falls, unwinds
A vision flares as though I'm there
(Chorus)
Sailing on through love and life…
4. A Notion
Sailing on the ocean
Looking for the truth
Secrets in the motion
Showing how the
I can't see
Now you'll be there with me
There is a notion, you'll be with me
Sitting by the ocean, looking out to sea
There is a notion, you'll be with me
Sitting by the ocean, looking out to sea
I was so lonely
The wind was hard to see
Looking for the answer
In everyone but me
Your spirit told me hold on
That I can't let go
My dreams are very close now
Closer than I know
I can't see
Now you'll be there with me
(Chorus)
And I watched the skies melt away
And I crossed the lines through the days
And I remember a different dream
And I cling to your memory now
5. Connected
Now - the wind blows cold
You're on your own
So hard to keep it unknown
Now - trapped inside
My own foolish pride
Breaking free to be alive
Oh feeling broken
Oh needing connection
Oh feeling broken
Oh needing connection
Now - inside the lies
I struggle to find
A balancing line
And I - I pray to God
Atone for my sins
To help me find my own way
(Chorus)
Now - immune to the dark
I march through time
My head held high
Armed - with only the truth
My kingdom grows far and wide
My soul has found its mark
Oh - feeling connected
Oh - feeling connected
Oh - feeling connected
Oh - feeling connected
6. Fire of Ancients
Can you see the light that guides you
Can you feel the hands of love
Let them mold you
Will you know the heart that bleeds for you
Alone in the wilderness
An ancient voice is heard
Speaking of light and truth
To the kings of old
He speaks to us this day
Showing us the way
Giving hope to wretched souls
Where there was none before
The fire of the ancients burning bright
Showing us the way to the promised land
Locked in an upper room
The chosen ones did pray
As tongues of fire fell
And so they did know
They spoke of wondrous things
Going forth to the kings
Giving hope to wretched souls
Where there was none before
The fire of the ancients burning bright
Showing us the way to the promised land
The fire of the ancients burning bright
They're pillar of the fire, guides our minds
Feel the fire
Let it warm you
Taste the angelic bread that sustains you
Will you see the lamb once slain
Behold with new eyes
Will you know the heart that bleeds for you
(Chorus)
7. Just Beyond My Sight
Dreams of your destiny
Have never been so real
And memories of yesterday
Seem to be so surreal
Lost in the eyes of weary resentment
Bleeding you dry with the cries of repentance
I'm on the verge of chaos, never breaking
Just sweeping emotions there for, for the taking
Inside of me a vast yearning
Always bright, just beyond my sight
The past is where we learn, never to return
Always bright, just beyond my sight
To come in from the cold
The heart it must be bold
I've tried to break free
My wasted love has captured me
Staring deep down inside
My frozen heart's alive
I'm on the verge of chaos, never breaking
Just sweeping emotions there for, for the taking
Inside of me a vast yearning
Inside of me a vast yearning
(Chorus)
8. Silent Tears
Seek the truth in me
Feel the urgency
Touch the needs inside
And see the vision forming
In my mind
Power grows
Flowing through me
Your witness...silently
Silent tears
In the back of my mind
Through the years
Falling fears
Silent tears
Silent tears
A waterfall built through the years
Built through the years
Silent tears
Can, can you see
The looking glass doesn't
Show what's supposed to be
Can you hear, hear me call
Through it all, standing tall
Giving life and love to save us all
(Chorus)
9. Never Fade Away
In a distant fading light
My dreams turn black and white
In an endless sea
My fears drown my needs
When you walk my way
And you talk to me
There's a magic in your eyes
That has me hypnotized
Something has a hold on me
Feel me life drifting aimlessly
This sorrow shouldn't be …
The night comes in a rage
A clouded mystery
My heart reaching out for you
But I'm too far away from you
Something has a hold on me
Feel me life drifting aimlessly
This sorrow shouldn't be …
Never fade, never fade away
I know my will is strong
Strong enough to carry on
Never fade, never fade away
I hold my head up to the sky
I breathe in my last sigh …
(Chorus)
