2. Alone I Stand
Now it seems, all of yesterdays dreams gone
For some time now, I'll close my mind and sleep
Which way to turn what faces to follow
The screams of lies have been broken now
A vision of the secret land has been placed in these hands
Will you believe me when I say?
Will you tell me things that I used to say?
Will I remember how it was?
Now take the last drop of blood
Now everyone inside
I'll show you that it's time
Please and try to understand
The world is going to end now
And if you will believe
That I am the one that has been chosen
For something I do not yet understand
So I'm all alone now laughed at and torn in two
Which one will I fallow I don't know
I'm not for sure
I'm not for sure
Laughed at and torn in two
Laughed at and torn, Why?
Laughed at and torn in two
Laughed at, laughed at, laughed at
Why must I feel so Alone I Stand
Why must I feel so Alone?
Will you believe me when I say?
Will you tell me things that I used to say?
Will I remember how it was?
Now take the last drop of blood
Now everyone inside
I'll show you that it's time
Please and try to understand
The world is going to end now
And if you will believe
That I am the one that has been chosen
For something I do not yet understand
3. Word on a Line
Wait, as we feared what's on the other side of this dream.
I don't why it's this way, but
Hey now, what the hell am I doing here?
Seem to ask myself in the mind again.
Whoa now, what the hell is going on?
We work and slave till the night comes,
That ain't right now.
For Something still yet to find.
Now the time's come,
Let's find what's inside.
It's the first time for the last time.
Breathe in and hold your, hold your breath.
This world has become a Word on A Line.
My fingers shake as I try to swim,
One more mile till we die... till we die.
As we sail along to a film of us coming back.
I don't why I feel the way I do but,
There's something inside me,
There's something inside that won't let me be.
Just won't let me be...
Just won't let me be...
Whoa, Just won't let me be...
Let us find.
Let us find home.
We work and slave till the night comes,
That ain't right now.
For Something still yet to find.
Now the time's come,
Let's find what's inside.
It's the first time for the last time.
Breathe in and hold your...
A Word on a Line...
Let me come along,
Let one find the song,
Let me find the words...
Hey we'll find A Word on A Line is
The last step to bring the rest into
Perspective now...
Hey we'll find out...
Hey we'll find out why...
4. The Fall
As we look now, at what's been done,
I look ahead and see, where's my
Life I once held high,
Higher than the sky,
But where's the sea?
To catch me when I fall.
Once I portrayed a young man's dreams,
Once I believed that,
All that I needed was soul, it's cold.
Was it all that we wanted?
Was it all that we needed then?
Were we, scared? Read me,
Was it all that I wanted?
Was it all that I needed then?
Was I, Scared?
Catch the Fallen.
Wake up; open your eye,
For what is to be is now,
The warning of prophets denied.
Can't you feel the coldness reply?
Watch the darkness cloak the sky.
Ignore this information,
Driven mad from this infliction.
Left upon my soul,
That rots with no control.
As we fall to the pits of the earth.
I can feel what it,
Don't you see what it?
Don't you feel what it's done?
...What it's done.
The Fallen
As I look up and see the lonely star in the sky,
Well I know how he feels, alone,
Alone in the sky.
To see what's out there just look,
Maybe one day we'll find...
Let me fall to call the trial,
Let some know,
Let me fall to call the trial.
I can feel the drops that fall from high above,
I can hear the cries of many helpless ones.
Though the hands of time are done,
The winds of change have left me speechless,
Please refill this hourglass that's turned to Stone.
But I know I may be wrong,
Though yesterday's come and gone,
I know I'll make it strong today...
I can feel the drops that fall from high above
I can hear the cries of many helpless ones.
Though the hands of time are done,
The winds of change have left me speechless,
Please refill this hourglass that's turned to Stone.
But I know I may be wrong,
Though yesterday's come and gone,
I know I'll make it strong today...
Once let me, I'm inside.
Tearing your mind,
Once you feel what the words have done,
So now I know I've tried.
Now as we hear, they changed their words
And forgot their lies.
Now as we fall, they changed their words
And forgot their lives and,
I know we'll find some way some how,
I know we'll see a different road that,
Leads my soul above the fall now,
We'll hear the toll of church bells calling,
Let one become one with the earth,
You will see what it...
You will feel what it...
You will see what it's done,
The Fall
The Fallen,
As we look up to see your mind,
(Vocal Ad-lib)
Become the one inside me.
5. The Quest
6. The Naked Mind
Hold just wait one minute now to
Find a reason for these orders
Please let me protect thee from the other side
What's inside The Wall the images the painted feelings
I must show
Laugh at what I try to preach to shed the grievance
Laugh at what I know you'll be the first to go
Now let one inside of you and
Let the feelings come from inside
Soon they'll call me Angels calling
They're singing in tune
I watched as my mother cried all of this time
Her vicious fight with the world
That she can't seem to we can't seem to win
And all this time we have fought
With ourselves and we can't seem to win
My words must shed the sunlight on The Naked Mind
Born inside a womb
Grow to rape the environment
So sad that it's true
The young so pure as a child
So was it all in everything that we have done?
Divide the boundary walls
Let the freedom breed inside of two
Minds that cry
It sounds like listen to these words I
Lay upon the naked mind
Now let one inside of you and
Let the feelings come from inside
Soon they'll call me Angels calling
They're singing in tune
[Repeat chorus]
Now all I feel is nothing but you
For the last time they will mock the truth
[Repeat chorus]
7. Time
So many tears I've cried,
So many words inside plague me, they plague me.
So many times I've seen the clouds roll
So many times I've felt this rage inside.
Now that the time has come to recall,
All the souls that were made.
Tear down the past which once blood burned my eyes,
That worked night and day.
All of the chances we've had now fade into the sky.
All that's left say good-bye.
Now the clouds are folding in, I feel the pressure
From deep within.
As I gaze to the mountains below, I feel the
Last tree fall down, as they all fall down.
Reach out for one last touch of love.
My message drowned in blood.
Senses increase three times in trust.
If I can't go on, will you be there?
If I can't foresee changes beloved seed,
Centuries change for twice left inside memories might,
Now the time has come.
Once, the only one I knew was the one
That claimed to be the friendly voice to speak.
Now that Mother Mary's gone now,
What's left, where will it go?
Pray for me son,
Pray for me son,
Pray for me son,
Pray for me son,
I've run out of time...
Time...
Time...
Time...
8. Test of Wills
[Part I: Awaiting Judgement]
I sit by the stream and raise my head
The stream flows East...
And I notice the breeze blows the trees
In the same way.
So I raise my head high
As I close my eyes.
I begin to run as fast as I can,
Into the night.
I sit and I wait for judgement.
I sit and I wait for judgement soon.
As I run into the night,
The wind is at my back.
Although petrified,
The dreams that many can't outlast.
So you think that life is just a game,
But have you ever thought,
With struggle comes lots of pain.
Now you know what I'm talking about,
You feel it running through your veins, don't you?
Oh, the feelings many must ignore...
All my life I have tried
To overcome this empty side of my mind.
Ooh never run, 'cause you can't hide.
Now it seems you call out.
Test My Will of all mankind,
Youth you test me
In all these words,
Somebody must have heard them.
This bleeding heart that's mine,
Somewhere it must start.
Now it seems,
All of us are here...
We move in the same way.
Now it seems,
All our feelings are dear.
We move in the same way up.
We move in the same way up.
Now it seems you call out...
Youth you test me
In all these words,
Somebody must have heard them.
This bleeding heart that's mine,
Somewhere, it must start...
Test My Will...
Of all man kind,
[Part II: A Struggle Within]
[Instrumental]
[Part III: The Distant Light]
Thirty-six months have past along,
And during this time...
We struggled on, and struggled on.
Exhaling pain.
Paving roads in the mind
Since we were young.
Now we'll make the dreams
Come alive through you
For the answer lies inside
Open your mind and we'll find
That it's easier
Well, if I could turn back time
I'd replay the memories left behind
Then change the way I am
Although life has scarred my heart
A piece of me still burns bright inside
With hopes that I will find it (The Dreams I Have at night)
Only time will tell what lies ahead
Only you can fill the page of life
So we raise our heads high
As we close our eyes
We'll begin to run as fast as we can
Into the night
We sit and we wait for judgement
We sit and we wait judgement soon
So we'll raise our heads high
As we close our mind
We'll begin to run as fast as
We can into the night
Now it seems you call out
Test my will
Of all mankind, youth you test me
In all these words
Somebody must have heard them
This bleeding heart that's mine
Somewhere it must start
Please show me the way home
[Part IV: As The Candle Burns...]
[Instrumental]
