1. The Clairvoyant (live)
Feel the sweat break on my brow
Is it me or is it shadows that are dancing on the walls?
Is this a dream or is it now?
Is this a vision or normality I see before my eyes?
I wonder why, I wonder how
That it seems the powers getting stronger every day
I feel a strength, an inner fire
But I'm scared, I won't be able to control it anymore
There's a time to live and a time to die, when it's time to meet the maker
There's a time to live, but isn't it strange that as soon as you're born you're dying
There's a time to live and a time to die, when it's time to meet the maker
There's a time to live, but isn't it strange that as soon as you're born you're dying
Just by looking in through your eyes
He could see the future, penetrating right in through your mind
See the truth and see your lies
But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise
There's a time to live and a time to die, when it's time to meet the maker
There's a time to live, but isn't it strange that as soon as you're born you're dying
There's a time to live and a time to die, when it's time to meet the maker
There's a time to live, but isn't it strange that as soon as you're born you're dying...
...and reborn again...
2. The Prisoner (live)
- We want information... information... information...
- Who are you?
- The new number two.
- Who is number one?
- You are number six.
- I am not a number, I am a free man!
- Ha ha ha ha ha!
I'm on the run, I'll kill to eat
I'm starving now, feeling dead on my feet
Going all the way, I'm nature's beast
Do what I want, I'll do as I please
Run, fight to breathe, it's tough
Now you see me, now you don't
Break the walls - I'm coming out
Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going... out
If you kill me - it's self defence
If I kill you then I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye, I will defy
You'll be afraid when I call out your name
Run, fight to breathe, it's tough
Now you see me, now you don't
Break the walls - I'm coming out
Not a prisoner, I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going
I'm not a number, I'm a free man
Live my life how I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
'Cos I'll run rings round you
3. Heaven Can Wait (live)
Can't understand what is happening to me
This isn't real, this is only a dream
But I never have felt, no, I never have felt this way before
I'm looking down on my body below: I lie asleep in the midst of a dream
Is it now could it be the Angel of Death has come for me?
I can't believe that really my time has come
I don't feel ready there's so much left undone
And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it get away
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait til another day
I have a lust for the Earth below and hell itself is my only foe
'Cause I've no fear of dying; I'll go when I'm good and ready
I snatch a glimpse of the lights eternal rays
I see a tunnel, I stand amazed
At all of the people standing there in front of me
Into the paths of lightness I'll be led
Is this the place where the living join the dead
I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait til another day
Take my hand, I'll lead you to the promised land
Take my hand, I'll give you immortality
Eternal youth, I'll take you to the other side
To see the truth, the path for you is decided
My body tingles, I feel so strange
I feel so tired, I feel so drained
And I'm wondering if I'll ever be the same again
Is this in limbo or heaven or hell
Maybe I'm going down there as well
I can't accept my soul will drift forever
I feel myself floating back down to Earth
So could this be the hour of my rebirth
Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming?
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait til another day
