1. Fields Of Valor
Red skies rage their angry cry upon the battle plains.
Soldiers march into history for a cause unexplained
Yet in every heart, in every man, there is a need to win.
When one dabbles in war games, who's to say what is sin ?
Fields of valor and victory.
White crosses the bear no name.
Each one gave their life to history.
Fields of valor and victory.
A young boy in an old man's game.
Each one gave their life for a nameless cross.
Skies bleed pain upon us all as the night comes falling down.
Cries of victory cannot be heard when you're six feet underground.
Yet feel they understand the paths that they have made.
Our children can now run free - price of liberty is paid.
Turn back the hands of time so i may ask their names.
And place each name upon a stone, to never fade away.
2. Shadow Of A Promise
Through empty words and promises the madman speaks.
His lies go forth as law unto those who believe.
Under dark commands he leads the way to a brighter day.
Yet that day will never come.
His day will come
Say the word and i will follow
Speak the truth i will believe
Cast not your shadow on my eyes
Open minds are led astray
With the hope for a brighter day
Cast not your shadow on my heart
A promise made a promise kept
Remove the lie there's nothing left
Cast not your shadow of a promise.
Generals bow before him while the people damn his name
Madman, god, or just a fool ?
Using words of victory, justice, and unity.
To him these are lies - such an unfortunate surprise.
With just one word a nation is moved and justifies his power.
The tyrant laughs for in his mind he is supreme.
Yet as the sun sets slowly in my heart a nation is broken.
And the youth feel the pain.
The youth will rise against !
Too late for words to turn back the hands of time.
Yet deeds take place of sorrow and change it's course in line.
Dressed in robes of honor, blindly gaining our trust.
Soon his robes will be stained with tyranny and blood.
3. Winner / Loser
There are powers in this world
People seem to be in control of it all
Spreading madness like disease
Damping, the flames of freedoms call
You can't stop what's inevitable
A thirst for power is a deadly game
Crushing whatever gets, in their way
They're using you they're using me
Contracts and principles
All play a part in the winner's game
Roll the dice with your life it comes so cheap
Oh but we have minds to change the rules
Puppet masters in house of gold
Plan your future for their own gain
Yeah but i'm not gonna play that way
Save your moves for another man - not me
Winner, loser
There's no winners in this game of greed
Winner, loser
Lust for power is a demon seed
Winner, loser
The more they win, the more you lose
Reach down inside of yourselves
You'll see there's a better man deep inside
Waiting to be set free
Let it out, yeah let it fly
There's no limit to the mind
Take hold of this wave of magic
There's hope for a brighter day
Don't let anyone stand in your way
Look in his eyes, you'll see a stranger there
One shake from his hand will lead you to despair
The taker, lifebreader is his middle name
So don't play his game !
4. Face To Face
As the sun sets low in an eastern sky
As the wall's chipped away from the other side
Homeless are clothed and the hungry fed
As the humble word freedom is blodly said
With our eyes fixed to the stars
There is no stopping us now
Face to face, eye to eye
Hand in hand we touch the sky
Release those bonds let's break those chains
Let your heart fly free again
Give me your tired and your huddled masses
Hungry souls needing to breath free
Chasing a new world at the end of a rainbow
Yes you can have it all just talk to me
Across the world new paths are beaten
Step by step new ideas unfold
People standing true for that they believe in
A new song is sung, a new bell is tolled.
5. Eyes Of The Young
We see the future stained in entruth
Shadowing over the eyes of the youth
Dark clouds, that fill the horizon with mire
Raining it's sorrow on men
Can you feel the sadness of our mother earth ?
(alone she cries)
No one can save her, it's too late
Fools cry with their idle words as the children look on
Innocent hearts filled with lasting ideas
Notice their world in decay
Reaching out with their minds they take the first step
(we take it together)
Little children with understanding
Meek in their helpfull ways they inherit this place
Learn from you yesterdays, never say it's too late
Together, we save tomorrow
Paradise is in the eyes, eyes of the young
The hands of a child can change history
(we change it together)
Destiny is in the eyes, eyes of the young.
Drinking from streams that are poisoned with waste
You can tell by the taste
Filling rivers with death and their pockets with greed
(a demon seed)
Payoffs are healthy and no word is said
Daddy gets rich and no one asks why his children cry
We see the future stained in untruth
Yet there is hope in the eyes of our youth
The deeds of the young are steadfast and true
Save our mother earth
If you turn your hand she will turn on you
Give of yourself and you get in return
If nothing else you must learn to yourself hold true
It begins with you !
6. One And All
With the rising of the sun, a new day has begun
A new way for man to live
Hand in hand we walk the mile, day by day
Knowing all the while
Time will come and with it peace
With juse one voice we can make a change
Bond together and rearrange
As one and one an all...
Let's pull the curtain down and break the
walls between us
Tonight excitement rages on
Nothing can stop this wave, riding on to glory
Nations will sing a different song
We are one with a purpose
Our goals are all the same
To be one and all
Bind our hearts together
We'll find a better way
We are on and all
We are a picture of glory, our colors bright and true
On an artist's palette this world
And as a brush stroke blends us all together
Another masterpiece unfolds
Light up your lights and hold them high
Each one a flame for freedom's sake
Burning on as far as the eye can see
With just one voice, we can make a change
We'll bond together and rearrange
As one and one and all
7. Small Price To Pay
On a dark and foggy night the moon hands high in the sky.
Quiet streets leave footsteps echoing on in my mind
Something inside of me rages out for release in my soel
Again the full moon tolls.
Try to run, try to hide
From the light of the moon
And its curse it holds on me
With this mark i now bear
Since the day of my birth
It changes me - you don't want to see.
Small price to pay for release of my soul -
Small price indeed
Dagger of silver plunged in my head tis my solemn release.
I suddenly need to feast
I feel a change begin of which i have no control.
That cursed full moonlight tearing into my soul.
Why was i born with a mark - transforms me into a beas.
I suddenly need to feast
Look away, turn and run as fast as you can.
Yours might be the next life gone
Small price to pay for release of my soul -
Small price indeed
Shade of red in my eye, there's no turning back.
And now like a beast i attack
Small price to pay for release of my soul -
Small price indeed
Bullet of silver plunged in my heart 'tis my solemn release -
Seems such a small price to pay.
You hold the key to releasing this spell.
Silver dagger in hand you strike the bell.
With a shattering scream i bid you farewell....
As this mark fades away along with my life.
I can't help feeling free again
Now released from this bond the vexed me so.
Thought i am gone. I am whole
Mark my words. I'll live on, wild an free.
Now that the beast is unchained from me.
8. Dreamscape
What is real ? What is a dream ?
Are dreams and reality one and the same ?
No more roles for me to play.
The curtain falls and darkness takes me away.
In a cell i scream all through the night.
No one hears my cries.
Held prisoner of my own mind.
Too blind to see begind own eyes.
Ride the mind's eye.
Come balance on the edge of reality.
Ride the nightmare.
Come open the doors of insanity.
Puppets on a string, life is but a dream.
Magic in the air, feel it everywhere.
What am i to care ?
Take a ride with me, come along you'll see.
Fantasy is real close your eyes and feel.
That is if you darel
Anything you want, everything you need.
You can have it all, but beware the fall
Back into reality.
When the pieces start to fall.
Your whole world crumbles away.
This time it's gone too far.
Unreal thoughts you believe are taking you.
Taking you away.
In this world of darkness, forever floating on and on.
Dreams i experience too strong to control.
Lead me on a journey of no return.
