1. All Your Neon
Always wanted to know your name
Lately feel I missed your gain
Always wondered why no one included me
Though I’ve acepted won’t let it be
It’s not the same, the times have changed
I wished I’d been there
It’s not the same, but who’s to blame
I wished I’d been there
You found the path into my heart, your straight direction
You found the rite into the dark with all your neon
You were trying to live a dream
Somehow you’ve touched me, although it seems
I never had a chance to ever see you at all
Since then it seems like life took a fall
It’s not the same, the times have changed
I wished I’d been there
It’s not the same, but who’s to blame
I wished I’d been there
You found the path into my heart, your straight direction
You found the rite into the dark with all your neon
Such a loss, we were not involved in this your great mission
Every now and then we bow our heads to pray, that’s when we listen
Can I come in to see your light
Life now always contains a fight
Your time is nothing but something to be admired
Because of your gift we are inspired
It’s not the same, the times have changed
I wished I’d been there
It’s not the same, but who’s to blame
I wished I’d been there
You found the path into my heart, your straight direction
You found the rite into the dark with all your neon
All your neon
All your neon
All your neon
2. The Battlefield of Life
Along the Battlefield of Life
I’ve seen the glory along the Battlefield of Life
I’ve seen the winners and the losers
Along the Battlefield of Life
I’ve seen the sky fall, I’ve touched the stars
Played before a million miles, here and afar
I’ve seen the morning sunrise
I’ve seen the morning cry
Along the Battlefield of Life
Along the Battlefield of Life
I’ve counted all the stars, It took two hundred years
Made the earth and sun from within my fears
I control the world, I control space
I control the universe, I’ve laid all to waste
I’ve seen the morning call to me
I’ve seen the morning die
Along the Battlefield of Life
Along the Battlefield of Life
I’ve seen the morning sunrise
Along the Battlefield of Life
Along the Battlefield of Life, Life
I’ve seen this morning cry to me
Along the Battlefield of Life, my Life
Along the Battlefield of Life
Along the Battlefield of Life
I’ve seen the glory along the Battlefield of Life
I’ve seen the winners and the losers along the Battlefield of Life
3. Shock Waves
There’s nothing left to say
I’ve paid in every way
This hate within grows stronger
With each and every day
Shock Waves, nothing but head games
You must learn to let go
Shock Waves inside this mind maze
No love left in this soul
This fight goes ever on
A conclusion’s never drawn
You know I can’t take this much longer
I’m better off alone
Shock Waves, nothing but head games
You must learn to let go
Shock Waves inside this mind maze
No love left in this soul
All my fears have come to pass
This life could never be
You’re still living in the past
It’s time to set me free
Shock Waves, they’re all head games
You must let go
Shock Waves inside this mind maze
No, there’s no love
There’s nothing you can say
To threaten me, make me stay
Your love is like an anger
That never goes away
Shock Waves, nothing but head games
You must learn to let go
Shock Waves inside this mind maze
No love left in this soul
No love, not in this soul
4. In a Dream
The wind and the rain are here to hide Earth’s pain
As we live out destructive lives today
While the light and dark always play their part
As we all will pretend to obey, let us all pray
We can’t go on here living foolish lives
While everything around us has no hope and dies
We can’t go on here living in the past
This earth revolves around us, it’s fading much too fast
Close your eyes, find what’s real
I found an answer in a dream
With heaven or is it hell, it’s much too hard to tell
Knowing that is never really mattered anyhow
We climb up, we fall down, the sky is all around
Will we ever take time to hear the fatal yell
We say what the hell
We must live up to all the hardened facts
The planet can’t survive with continual attack
We must live up to the damage we have done
Turn it for the better, let’s proudly face the sun
Close your eyes, find what’s real
I found a meaning in a dream
The wind and the rain are here to hide Earth’s pain
As we live out destructive lives here today
While the light and dark always play their part
As we all will pretend to obey, let us all pray
We’re all part of somebody’s great plan
Who are we to change it and destroy this fertile land
We’re all part of the greatest mystery
Let’s create a rainbow for the world to see
Close your eyes, find what’s real
I found a reason in a dream
5. Something In This Life
I try to get around it, like I don’t care
One day I think that I found it, then it’s nowhere
I always try to tell you but you don’t listen
I’d like to try to show you but for what reason
Something in this life
Something in this life
I thought my days were numbered, before I found you
Still I’m calling for you, how will I know
I feel you walk around me, you just won’t come in
How will I ever find you, where to begin
Something in this life
Something in this life
There’s something in this life that I can’t seem to find
He told me that it’s called your peace of mind
I’ve been looking for you, been trying to see
I feel drowned, yet surrounded by you within me
I’ve been looking for you, been trying to see
Feeling drowned but it’s all within me
I don’t know how to begin
I don’t know if I even care
You make me keep on trying, I know that you have
Listen to you, I am crying, my wounds you can heal
I always try to tell you but you don’t listen
I’d like to try to show you but for what reason
Something in this life
Something in this life
Something in this life
Something in this life
6. Diamonds Are For Real
Raise the flag we shall be strong again
Speak the thoughts that shall be born within
Diamonds are for real
Diamonds are for real
Learn the peace
You know she’s there by your side
Seek the truth
You know she’s there to be your guide
Diamonds are for real
Diamonds are for real
For if you come across her path
Something will tell you so
You sure better make it last
She may be all you will ever know
Diamonds are for real
Diamonds are for real
Diamonds
Pay the price, it could never be too high
Another chance maybe a lifetime will go by
Diamonds are for real
Diamonds are for real
For if you come across her path
Something will tell you so
You sure better make it last
She may be all you will ever know
Diamonds are for real
Diamonds are for real
Diamonds
Diamonds are for real
7. It's Still On Your Eyes
Memories are far away in another time
The moment was torn away
Right before our eyes
I see your face within my mind
Never gone for a day
Reach out and tell me
Help me find the way
Take me, show me, touch me again
I feel, it’s still in your eyes
The dream, it’s still in your eyes
Time heals or so they say all of life’s pain
There’s only one chance
It’s wherever you shall be
Save me, guide me, touch me again
I feel, it’s still in your eyes
The dream, it’s still in your eyes
On and on the world goes
Stopping for no one
But I remember yesterday and it’s still
I know it’s still in your eyes
Maybe another day it shall be
Reach out and tell me
Please help me find the way
Touch me, feel me, show me again
I feel it’s still in your eyes
The dream, it’s still in your eyes
The dream, it’s still in your eyes
I can feel it’s still in your eyes
The dream, it’s still in your eyes
It’s still in your eyes
The dream, it’s still in your eyes
8. Catastrophic Heaven
And I won’t remember my catastrophic heaven
I was not a member of your joyful living
Living my life, it just goes day to day
But it can remind me of what I was not
Why can’t you just let me be
Just like it never was
Please leave me alone
You’ve lost my trust
What do I remember, you took it from me
Did I have a choice then, of my reality
Never making too much of anything you say
Or realizing that I was not
Why can’t you just let me be
Just like it never was
Please leave me alone
You’ve lost my trust
The days and the nights
The big city all those bright lights
The clouds with the moon
Just it all became the same
All melting into one
Looking for a rainbow
Yet so afraid to let it go
It was a nightmare of my dream
I needed no protection
I just simply needed to see
I always need remember, what I met here
Never saw a painting or a pretty picture
It’s far away now but I know not to stay
I always wander where I should not
Why can’t you just let me be
Just like it never was
Please leave me alone
You’ve lost my trust
My catastropic heaven
Please leave me alone
My catastropic heaven
You’ve just lost all my trust
9. No Place Called Home
Have you ever asked them why it all became this way
They will have no answer, no matter what they say
There’s no place called home
Remember to look to the sky when you feel alone
When you feel alone
An empty space fills up this so called place
Searching on for what
I’ve been involved, I’ve played my part
To those of worth, I’ve shared my heart
Yet there’s been something taken from me
Can’t you see
An existence torn between love and hate
Past, present and future, they are all one
Being a part of playing this life game
Yet aware something’s been taken from me
Can’t you see
If you ever feel alone, beleive to find your way
You need not travel far, the truth begins today
This is a time for everyone’s confusion
A struggle for or against all of our fates
Being alive for something’s reason
The warning yet knowing it taken from me
Can’t you see
Searching on for what
An empty space fills up this place
Can’t you see, can’t you see
An existence that’s torn
Can’t you see, just look at me
