1. We, the People

We, the people
Face the challenge of our lives
Apparent heirs of this domain
The time is short for us
To set a new priority
Or we will surely pay the price - of the world
- Your world
- My world
- Our world

In the name of progress
We take more than we need
Respect for life exchanged
For corporate greed
Chemical waste destroys
Our land and sea
With no regard for the future
Of our world

We, the people
Face the challenge of our lives
Apparent heirs of this domain
We, the people shape our destiny
And the time is now to take care - of the world
- Your world
- My world
- Our world

We must unite -to survive!




2. Keeper of the Reign

...And the poor shall kneel down at their Master's feet
And dedicate themselves to please...

Raging rivers run for the lucky one
For the Keeper of the Grail
And the lower men, subjects of the King
On their hands and knees remain

Raging rivers run for the honored one
For the Keeper of the Key
And the lower men, servants of the King
Live to suit their Master's greed

The Keeper of the Reign
The Keeper of the Reign
Feels no pain...

Raging rivers run for the Royal One
For the Keeper of the Crown
And the lower men soldiers of the King
To whom their lives revolve around

The Keeper of the Reign
The Keeper of the Reign
Feels no pain...

Raging river run with the blood of mad men
Battle is the Keeper's game
For the Lucky One, to him no harm comes
The Keeper never feels their pain - No Pain!




3. Just Imagine

Just imagine things beyond the chains of understanding
Beyond reason, beyond logic, beyond fear
Believe the inconceivable, feel the unbelievable
Don't bother asking "Is this real?"

Just imagine meaning in the things you never dreamed of
Like your leaders, your lovers, and your songs
Natural Order's changing, in effect
Giving everyone a cause

Dreamer dreaming in a seeming sleepless land
Just imagine:

Just imagine something inside nothing
Like a child in emptiness
Or a dreamer in the dark
Creative cryogenics - a mind
A candle yearning for a spark

Dreamer dreaming in a seeming sleepless land
Just imagine:
Just imagine peace where there was none before
Under virgin skies
Just imagine children with hope
Again in their eyes

Just imagine:

Just imagine people really caring
And not just saying they do
Just imagine nations really talking
Like me and you:




4. Alone Again

Here I am in a spotlight
Alone: all over again
And you are home by the firelight
With someone else, instead of me:

The words seemed so real
And baby that's why I feel
Alone again
I swore you were my friend
Now I'm all alone
All alone again

The rhymes I could make
If me heart wasn't breaking
In two: over you
Oh I'm the fool
For believing in things
I can't hold in my hands
I don't understand

The words seemed so real
And baby that's why I feel
Alone again
I swore you were my friend
I'm all alone
All alone again




5. Questions

I'm waiting for morning, but night lingers on
When will the darkness give way to the dawn?
Is there an end?

Cast in a shadow so lonely and cold
Wondering whether I'll live to grow old
A question of "why?"

The quest for survival is second to none
Can we unite before our end has come?
Open your eyes!

Cast in a shadow so lonely and cold
Wondering whether we'll live to grow old
A question of time

And what do we have down this road that we're on?
A world of hatred, pollution, and pawns
Futility pounds in my brain!

And what of the people who dream they'll be saved?
Are they immune from the fallout and flames?
If we're responsible - who do we blame?




6. One Small Voice

One small voice had a dream
Now he's seen the other side
One small heart ached for his people
His children, and his pride

Just one man
With one hope for the world
Just one man
And one small voice was heard

One small voice had a cause
So he lived in a cage
One small love that endured
Through his pain and his rage

Just one man
With one hope for the world
Just one man
And one small voice that was heard

One small voice
Just one small voice




7. Tomorrow Night

I look into your eyes as you look into mine
I see you smile and look away
I sense a passion burning deep within your heart
Can this be real? I look away

And then I wander through the maze of my emotions
Looking for the answer to the question in my mind

Another dream has come and gone
I watch it fade away

And now I wander through the maze of my emotions
Looking for the answer and waiting for a sign

Tell me now - you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow night?

I look into your eyes as you look into mine
I see you smile and turn away

And now I tremble in the midst of my emotions
You are the question and the answer to my dreams

Tell me now - you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow night?
Tell me now - you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow?
Will I be with you tomorrow night?

I look into your eyes as you look into mine
I see you smile and come my way

Tell me now - you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow?
Tell me now --- you lead, I'll follow
Will I be with you tomorrow?
Will I be with you tomorrow night?

I see you smile:




8. Cry For Rome

Show me a tear, and I'll know you're a dreamer
Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome
Tears like empires falling to the ground
Yet we're shackled to those dreams
We're tied and we're bound
So show me a tear and I'll know you're a dreamer
Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome
:Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome:

Show me a tear, and I'll tell you a tale of glory
Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome
Show me your fear and I'll sell you a timeless story
Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome

Nero's song of mourning weeps
As pillars fall like rain
Only shattered hopes and dust remain

Show me a tear and I'll know you're a dreamer
Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome
Show me your fear and I'll know that you're a seer
Caesar's, one and all we cry for Rome

Tears like empires falling down
See them on the ground
Yet, we're shackled to them
We are bound

Show, come on and show
Show: show:.
Are there any dreamers?
Are there any dreamers?
Show me a tear and I'll know you're a seer

Nero's song of mourning weeps
As pillars fall like rain
Only shattered hopes and dust remain:




9. Two Hearts

All the pieces seemed to fit today
The sky blue matched the city grey
The roads all led to somewhere
The words I heard were true
Everything seemed to fit but me and you

All the pieces seemed to fit today
Laughter came from children's play
Something came from nothing
One and one made two
Everything seemed to fit but me and you

We are two lost pieces to the puzzle
We are two forgotten words that used to rhyme
We will never fit together

We are two hearts beating out of time:




10. The Sound of Silence

Hello darkness my old friend
I've come to talk with you again
Because a vision softly creeping
Left it's seeds while I was sleeping
And a vision that was planted in my brain
Still remains -
Within the sound of silence

In restless dreams I walked alone
Narrow streets of cobblestone
'Neath the halo of a streetlamp
I turned my collar to the cold and damp
When my eyes were stabbed by the flash of a neon light
-That split the night
And touched the sound of silence

And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
-And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence

"Fools", said I, "You do not know"
"Silence, like a cancer, grows"
"Hear my words, that I might teach you"
"Take my arms, that I might reach you"
But my words, like silent raindrops fell
And echoed in the wells of silence

And the people bowed and prayed
To the neon god they made
And the sign flashed out its warning
In the words that it was forming
And the sign said, "The words of the prophets are
Written on the subway walls - and tenement halls"
And whispered in the sounds of silence




11. The Haunting

Memory- go away
I grow weary from my running
Hiding for so long
I've lost my way

Morning light's reminders
Painting colors in my prison
Daylight brightens every shade of grey
The pain never ending, and now its so cliche

Yesterdays are creaking doors
And noises in the nighttime
Feelings, only chains across the floor
Voices on the wind, softly moan
I hear them whisper
Mirrors mock the man I was before

My mind slowly fading
Like paper in the rain

The haunting, it still remains
The haunting, it still remains

Turning and burning in my bed
A never-ending ghost
That lives inside my head

Memory- go away
I grow weary from my running
Hiding for so long
I've lost my way

Yesterdays are creaking doors
And noises in the nighttime
Feelings, only chains across the floor
My mind keeps decaying
Like paper in the rain

The haunting, it still remains
The haunting, it still remains

Turning and burning in my bed
A never-ending ghost
That lives inside my head

Memories remain of the haunting
Can't stop the pain of the haunting:




12. Young Forever

Watching the setting sun
You feel the days gone by
Autumn is ending- with winter impending
Was summer just a lie?

But just like the seasons
You know you spring will come

You're young forever
Just like the setting sun
You'll rise again
You're young forever
Taking on time in a race
That you can't win

Down but not out it's clear you're wise
Beyond your years
Time is a ship that keeps on sailing
Despite our hailing tears
But just like the ship
The wind will fill your sails

You're young forever
Just like the setting sun
You'll rise again




13. The Fifth Season

I looked unto the Old One, in the Sacred Halls
I found him there amidst his grief, and crumbling walls
The tears that lined his face
Told the tale he tried to hide
Of castles made of sand, and of the tide

A whisper through his sobs
I heard him softly say
"My kingdom for a wise man: yesterday"
"No one can save us, no one can stop the end"
Not all the king's horses, or all your amen's:

There's no disarming, no forewarning
Morning is over - forever burns the night
Time's forever fused with the night
The passions of men -in a flash
Put an end to the light

No one can save us now
Nothing can stop the end
Not all the king's horses, or all your amen's

No disarming, no forewarning
Morning is over- forever burns the night
Time's forever fused with the night
The passions of men -in a flash
Put an end to the light

Shadows seething - darkness fills the sky
Ashes wreathing - fire burning on high
Suffocation - the light all gone away
In the end - no final words to say
