LYRICS - BEOWULF

---

Dancing moonlight on a starry night

Cool, clean air blows against my skin

Drinking cool water of the clearest spring

The earth at my feet — where I begin

Can we find our way? (Can we?)

Find our way back home (Find our way)

To fly along side the birds in the sky

To walk beside every beast on the earth

Beneath the cover of trees make home 

In the natural world — I find my worth

Can we find our way? (Can we?)

Find our way back home (Find our way)

As the devil awakes — he sees you sleeping 

All that was sowed — must now be reaped

Hold to strength — ‘gainst the auto-da-fé

Take up your cross — free will or fate

Victory or death — our battle cry

No surrender — this is do or die

In a dog eat dog world — the strong survive

Don’t fall on your sword before the battle begins

Hold on to the truth — wash away your sins

Smell burning martyrs — see the crucified 

Stand your ground — defend the terrified

Victory or death — our battle cry

No surrender — this is do or die

In a dog eat dog world — only the strong survive

Dancing moonlight on a starry night

Cool, clean air blows against my skin

Drinking cool water of the clearest spring

The earth at my feet — where I begin

Victory or death — our battle cry

No surrender — this is do or die

In a dog eat dog world — only the strong survive

Always begins at night — lie and wait for sleep

It comes like a light — comfort in my dreams

As I awake it’s with me — I pause, check reality

Leaving or rising through — carry on, moment unsure

I don’t know what it is

Show me the way — I’m walking through the fire

Show me the way — I’m crawling in the sand

Show me the way — I’m standing in the rain

Show me the way — show me the way 

Coming around again — the spirit near

Close my eyes — feel it there

I’ve got to hold on — never let go

I don’t know what it is, don’t know why

Show me the way — I’m walking through the fire

Show me the way — I’m crawling in the sand

Show me the way — I’m standing in the rain

Show me the way — show me the way

Staring down the long road — alone here again

Is it somewhere I can follow? 

Or just a whisper on the wind?

Show me the way — I’m walking through the fire

Show me the way — I’m crawling in the sand

Show me the way — I’m standing in the rain

Show me the way — show me the way

Uncertain world 

Outside your door

Are you satisfied
With all that's come before?
 

Can you look beyond?
Do you feel there's more?

A place you've never seen
What you’re searching for

The world we want

The world we've made

Who we think we are

It's all a masquerade

Tell me what you see 

With open eyes

Can you see the truth? 

Do you see the lies?
 

It all comes down 

To your point of view

When you look in the mirror 

Do you still see you?

The world we want

The world we've made

Who we think we are

It's all a masquerade

The world we want

The world we've made

Who we think we are

It's all a masquerade

— Anglo-Saxon from Beowulf

Everything can change in a moment

Innocence lost in the blink of an eye 

Yesterday has come in a memory

There’s no looking back, it’s not really goodbye

Facing the truth, taking control of it all

Amidst the pain and tears that will fall 

The moment has come, it’s real desire

Finding your strength rising higher and higher
 

There will be times you’re up against the wall 

It’s when you get up right after you fall

Some days will be tough, some nights will be long

The road gets hard but spirit strong  

Find your path move on down the road

Deep inside — take control

The moment has come, feel the fire

Finding your strength, rising higher

Tomorrow will come soon enough
And I’ll be alright

Tomorrow will come soon enough
 

Fly up high up where the angels fly

Never look down, don’t say goodbye

Believe there is hope, realize the truth

Life goes on, surrender our youth 

Face the truth, take control of it all

Amidst the pain and tears that will fall 

The moment has come, it’s strong desire

Finding your strength, higher and higher

Tomorrow will come soon enough
And I’ll be alright

Tomorrow will come soon enough

I could look, find someone to take your place

But that’s not what I want

When I look, all I see is your face

And memories that haunt me
Babe, what am I without you? 

A pretender, that’s what I am now you’re gone

How did we fall apart?

I remember, how hard I tried to hold on

To the one who held my heart

What am I without you?

Contemplation — wonder if you can tell
You’re the only one in my sights

Situation — confusing me like hell
How I want you here tonight
 

You were the one, the one who made me strong

Now I pay the cost for all that I’ve done wrong …

What am I without you?

Nothin’ at all, a fool without a cause

What am I without you?

I stumble, I fall, with my back against the wall

What am I without you?

Nothin’ at all, a fool without a cause

What am I without you?

I stumble, I fall, with my back against the wall
 

Now I look, all I see is your face
And the memories that haunt me

Babe, what am I without you?

Gorge on white pills — like a glutton’s sin

Slurp liquid grain — let the journey begin

Gnaw on blue steel — swallow eighty-two

Flash of ecstasy — bid you adieu

I’ll carry my cross no further today

Surrender at last — wave my banner — hooray 

Feel the grip tighten — the throat is bound

There’s no gravity — fall to the ground

I’ll carry my cross no further today

Surrender at last — wave my banner — hooray

I have seen life — I have seen death

I have seen what comes inside loss

Now I will see light 

I’ll carry my cross no further today

Surrender at last — wave my banner — hooray

A month of Sundays — the road never ends

The hole will not scar, in a month of Sundays

The sun is down, darkness surrounds my mind 


The dream begins, the walls close around me tonight...

In stone are the words by the prophets of the underworld 


I swim with a wound - open in a black whirlpool


All alone in a crypt with a promise void of time


I skim the heavens to the moon opposed by a broken time- line... 


-Chorus-


I’m gonna walk the sacred ground 


The mud, the line


I’m gonna drink the holy water 


The blood, the wine 


Mesmerized in a trance it’s the spell of a witch


I dance on a blade the power burns my hand 


Hypnotized from the glance of hell and the bitch


My dreams meet the spade and perish in a cloud of sand 

keep churning... 


(Chorus)

Desire lives with a hunger in our eyes 


The tears, the ocean, wash over me 


A trembling touch as it all begins 


In the distance, on the rim, as far as one can see 


Life’s colors in a world, so cold and grey 


Waiting for the ship that must come in... 


A fire burns, passions call in our dreams 


The sweat, the mist, clouds our eyes 


All that we want across the horizon 


Waiting for the ship that must come in... 


The ship must come in... 

Ship must come in...

Father, did I hear a small voice call? 


Looking in my soul to find out who I am... 


Father, where are the lands that we come from? 


Tracing back my roots, I’ve searched the darkness of my life 


Mother, what will I become?


Bleeding in my boots, I’ve walked the path towards the light 


Brother, have you sought your vision quest? 


Climbed the mountains in your path towards your destiny? 


Myself, have I passed the unknown tests?


Crossed the rivers that lie ahead and find serenity 


-Time after time I’ve waited to find 
-Strength of heart, fate in hand
- 

Day after day the challenge arises. 
-I’ll find a place and take a stand 


-Chorus-



Shall I add? 

To the crops of the earth 


Shall I add? 

Rise above my worth

From the valley I come searching for a place


A place in the sun, a place I can call home


As the journey begins I take the path not so worn 


My mission is true, I know where I was born
 

I look in my heart the fires forge my soul 


There’s a hunger for love, a desire to prevail 


To travel this long brings the gift of truth 


My will is strong, I’ll find peace in my youth
 

-Running with time as a constant reminder 


-Of things to come and things to pass 


-Chasing the sun across the western skyline 


-As grains of sand fall in the hourglass
 

-This is the time I’ve waited to find life 


-My kindred soul, I lift my hands 


-As I overcome the trials and struggles 


-I find my place and make my stand
 

From the valley I came and found myself 


I’ve quenched my desires, I’ve built my home 


My journey’s been long, I’ve traveled the lands


I’m standing strong, I know who I am... 


© & ℗ 1996 BMI

Here I am, a new world man


Awake and alive, I’ll do all I can


I’ve fought my demons, I’ve torn down the walls 


I’ve captured my dreams now I know I won’t fall 

-Running with time as a friend and companion 


-Of what it’s brought and what it shall bring 


-Day after day the challenge arises


-But I know my place, I’ll take a stand 

Here I stand, a new born man


The strength of a hundred horses at hand 


I’ve crossed the river, I’ve walked through fire 


I’ve climbed the mountains of pain and desire 

-Chorus-


Destiny- I’ve achieved THE RITE OF PASSAGE 


Destiny- I received the gift of sight 


Destiny- to achieve THE RITE OF PASSAGE 


You must believe in the gift... 

-Running with time as a constant reminder 


-Of things to come and things to pass 


-Chasing the sun across the western skyline 

-As grains of sand fall in the hourglass (Chorus) 

-Reprise- 

Father, did I hear a small voice say? 


Looking in the face of a child to see my own eyes...

I hear the winds behind the door... 

The clouds have finally covered that star we used to share 


I’m running through a labyrinth chasing a star not there 


The winds of change are upon us, now they fill the air 


Did I believe in love or myth? What led to my despair? 

-Chorus-


I hear the winds behind the door 


They’re calling out to me


I feel the winds behind the door 


They breathe you into me 

This is my beginning - which leads to my future’s end 


Voices in nightmares echo - a requiem they now send 


Without you in my life I’m a tragic book with no amends 


I look around an empty room, God, I know I can’t pretend 

-You’re leaving my life this way 


-In my dreams you’ll always stay 


-Hand me the key to open this door... 

The four winds build around me, 
I sense a storm in the air 


I’m carried by the winds of change to a loneliness I can’t bear... 

(Chorus) 

© & ℗ 1996 BMI

Through the rain, through the misty eyes of a dreamer 


I see you there in the shadows of the past


And you remain the only one I can turn to


The times we’ve shared- in September Park 

-Chorus-


Can we find a common ground? 


Stand side by side, have we found 


The strength that we can hold? 


The clock ticks away as we grow old... 

-Chorus
-

Can we find an inner peace? 


Side by side, can we release


The truth before we grow old? 


Take back the lies that we have told... 

In the dark, in the weary mind of a dreamer 


Are you there? Your silhouette is fading now 


I feel pain and coldness as I realize 


You’re not here- in September Park 

-Chorus-


Did we find a common ground? 


Side by side, had we found


The years are kind as time unfolds? 


The clock ticks away as we grow old...

The carnival sounds echo in a far away land


As the carnal instinct fills the hungry man


The fauns and the babes dance barefoot in the moonlight 


As the concertmaster plays a Delta blues tune 


-Chorus-


Navigator,
Swimming through a blue dream 

Navigator,
Skimming ‘cross the moon beams 


The aristocrats and dregs show us our worth


As a distant star hears the cries of Earth


So you think you know the truth and you’ve seen every trace 


You would not understand your place
if it kicked you in the face

(Chorus) 

© & ℗ 1996 BMI

Somewhere in time, somewhere inside 


There burns a passion we used to know 


Holding on to the past


Living life on the run 


Tried to understand the reality 


Through the tears- tried to see 


The pain rises up wherever 

I turn 
On my own... 


-Chorus-


Lonely is the place 
I’ve been before 


I close my eyes, it takes me home 


Standing in the rain, standing alone 


You were the shelter from the storm 


Now you’re gone, will I be


On my own? 


(Chorus) 

Somewhere in time, somewhere inside 


Still burns the passion, why did you go? 


Hanging on to the past


Taking life, I’m on my own... 

© & ℗ 1996 BMI

Drinking out of a paper bag, living out of a paper house 


Thinking of a better life, keeping warm with a bitter hope
 

Walking down to Rose’s Pawn Shop, their last goods are their last crops


Talking down, down to the street, their past will be once again today 


-Chorus-


The beggar’s hand is open again 


Calling out in the winter wind 


The beggar’s hand is reaching out 


Falling down, society won’t bend 


Blue-silver sky, rain and ice. Shoot in his vein a very cold spice 


Red light district, S & M, for twenty bucks she’ll do it again 


Out of work, out of school, in so deep feel like a fool 


Rent to pay, children to feed; the harvest of starvation plants its seed
 

-Chorus-


The beggar’s hand is open again 


Crippled and thin- to be condemned 


The missionary says “you’re welcome in” 


But it’s back on the street tonight...

The ocean’s vast, the water’s deep 


Autumn winds skim out across the sea 


Emotions cast spells in my sleep


Each night I swim through fantasy - ecstasy 

The sky is blue, infinity


I catch a high in pools of azure


If I have you in reality


Should I repent for thoughts impure? - No cure 

So I fly, through clouds in a dream


I wake to a distant scream (Ahh...!) 


The echo fades, it’s absorbed by the night 


I search for a sign of light


So I wait, until the morning comes


I know it comes again... 

The wind is cold, rain’s falling down


Clouds blanket across the moon


Take me to hold, 


Stay with me through this monsoon 

So I cry, I’m seized in my tracks 


There is no turning back 


As I wade, in an ocean deep and blue 


I wait here for you


And I wait, until the morning comes 


I know it comes again...

When I awoke this morning, the skies were gray 


Thought I heard a voice calling in the dark


I could not see the warnings in the dust high winds 


Love has no amends... 


-Chorus-


To escape the deep blue 


I’ve got to carry on without you 


My eyes filling slowly, tears and rain


Now it’s all a shadow trapped within my heart 


Crimson paints the canvas of a past I can’t mend


I just can’t pretend... 


(Chorus)

In the dark room of this house, there are some dusty memories 


In a closet full of dreams, they awake me while I try to sleep 


They take me to the past, back to your heart 

In the corner of this room, there sits a man
with a heart of stone


A cold and lonely breath, follows voices down the hall 


I reach for you there and start to cry 

-Chorus-


I’m alone with my feeling, the feeling of you 


Haunted by a shade of blue


I’m lost in the memory, the memory of you 


I know I’m reaching for the moon 

In the dark room of this house, there is an echo of goodbye 


In the coldness of this bed, there is no one at my side... 

-Chorus-


I’m alone with my feeling, the feeling of you 


Haunted by a shade of gloom


I’m lost in the memory, the memory of you 


Feel the pain under black moon 

In the darkness of this house, there is an echo of goodbye 


The pain has branded me, I know I won’t die…

It’s a restless heart, out to see the world 


For the first in a long, long time 


It’s easy come, and easy go


So I’ve heard the story told
 

It’s a fragile heart, wounded by a word 


That took it for a long, hard ride 

(Ride it easy)


The moment’s here, the time is right 


Seize the day and hold on tight 


-Ride the wings to the land of dreams 


-Hide away in the hands of fate 


(Ride it easy) 


It’s a burning heart, fueling desire 


For the first in a long, long time 

(Ride it easy)


The moment’s here, the time is right 


Seize the day and hold on tight 


-Ride the winds to the land of dreams 


-Hide away in the hands of fate

Ride it easy, ride it easy, ride 


Ride it easy, ride it easy, ride...

On a wall looking majestic over the river 


Standing tall, protecting the one’s who believe 


The spirit will save them and bring them hope for tomorrow 


Standing tall, protecting the one’s who believe 


The spirit is rising up from a body that’s speared 


He will conquer his demons and cross to a land of peace 


The spirit will save them and bring them hope for tomorrow 


Standing strong, leading the one’s who believe...

As we awake by the dawn’s early light 


Who can save this land that we call home? 


Divided tribes - black and white 


Reported on the evening news 

Abuse of child, abuse of land 


Abuse of substance to hide the pain 


Division lines, left and right 


Distorted through the media eye 

-Are we living in a world of chance?


(Destruction waiting in the wings)


-Buried with our ignorance 


(The answer’s moving out of sight) 

-Chorus-


Do you believe in fate? Do you believe in hope? 


Taking solace in your world, taking refuge in your home 


Do you believe their words? Do you believe that we... 


Are reliving the fall of Rome? 

Our politicians speak, their dictator lies 


It’s all propaganda in a big machine 


Divisive words, black and white 


Read it in the morning headlines 

-Are we leaving everything to chance? 


(Corruption hiding in our seams) 


-We’re blinded by the decadence 

(Solution’s drifting out of reach) 
(Chorus)

They say it’s all gonna change, 


That soon the worm will turn 


But why my life seems so strange - 


Why can’t yesterday return 


-Chorus-


WELCOME TO THE THEATRE cold, sold world 


You’re a pawn in a game of chance 


There is no lady in my life, 


Young man already old 

Did I get thrown for a ride? 


Did I hear what I was told? 


-Just like a child who climbed unnoticed out of his cradle


-Falling out into a barren house


-I am out of the fire, into the storm disabled... 


(Chorus)

I could sense no change in tempo of this world ‘til I was told... 


I met an old man who worked as a hobo


You never could guess the things he knows


Then he said to me...



“People call me a bum, very, very dumb


They should stop and take a look at the world they made 


There’s famine over feast, wars fought by beasts


They blame it on the cards dealt


I found a dead boy in a gutter, - I wondered of his mother 


And the pain she must have felt, the pain she must have felt” 


Do you see the point, hidden behind the mask? 

One hour later there came a dog

Showers fell on him of human’s smog


The he spoke to me...


“They say I’m a mutt, a pain in the butt


But they don’t see who is pain upon whom


They rape and fight, pyres burn all night


Blame the other one, narrow minds think they know it all 

They never heed the wild call, 

Do whatever they what just for fun” 


Do you get the point? knowledge behind the mask... 

Nightfall came and brought the moon 

But no one listens except at noon


The lunar said to me...


“People look to me for their dreams - It’s the sun and I who fuel life’s streams


Give them day and night, give them dark and light 


From what I see they’re the blindest on the rock 


Time slips by and they don’t even try to change - 

The hands upon the clock..."


I went down the road to gather my thoughts 

When I saw a broken bottle, who’d been shot...

I can still see you, in the night I cry 


Asking was it the end, 
I’ll remember ‘til I die 

Do you know what you did, what you did to me? 


Was it my dream? Was it your game? 


-Chorus-


In my eyes I can see you, in my heart I still want you 


In my soul I feel you, I still cry for you 


You don’t remember, something I won’t forget 


What do I need to do? I still cry for you 


-Chorus-



In my eyes I can see you, in my heart 

I still want you 
In my soul I fear for you, 

I now cry for you...

It was this that I knew, come not would change 


Night after night, year after year
In mind, my mind


In dreams form cloaks darkness
In which room with window and doorway 


Outside light, man and unknown entity 


Back to back, sitting cross-legged 

It was this that I felt, fear deep within 


Core- soul’s. Dancing shadow blackened


A hunter waiting, a feeling of reality


This shadow, this would envelop fate, my being 


Death is no hallucination, a nightmare... 

A nightmare, a hallucination? No


Is death being my fate? 
Envelope would this shadow 


This feeling of reality,
 

A waiting hunter, a blackened shadow-dancing 


Soul’s core within deep fear


Felt I that this was it 

Cross-legged, sitting back to back 


Entity unknown and man 
Light outside, doorway and window 


With room which in darkness cloaks 


Form dreams in mind, my mind 
In year after year, night after night 


Change would not come 


Knew I that this was it...

-Chorus-


Something happened yesterday, it’s all because of you 


You’re the pilot who guides my blue dream, 


You’re the light shining through... 

Never again, I heard myself say


Don’t be tempted, don’t be fooled--by your heart 


Never give in, just turn away


Don’t surrender, don’t be careless--with your heart 

Never before, I’d felt that way


I was captured, I was lost--in your eyes 


Never so sure, about my place


I was focused, I was found--for the first time 

(Chorus) 

Do, do, do, do, do, do Do, do, do, dit, doo...

Never go away, I heard you say

"
I won’t leave you, I won’t hurt you--won’t fall apart"


Never again, I’ve heard myself say


I was tempted, I was careless--with my heart 


(Chorus) 

Something happened along the way, it came to pull us apart 

You’re the memory I watch fleeting by, 


You’re the hole inside my heart

An island in the sea of tranquility,


The land that I call home


Solitude consoles my barren soul — I’m so alone 


Oasis... 


A new dawn breaks on the horizon, 


Warm colors of the sun


So I must go, so far away--I need to know 


Oasis... ... ... 

I’ll make my way over wasteland 


When the new moon finds desert sky 


Knowing one day I will return, 


To the land I leave behind

© & ℗ 2000 BMI

Through my desire, my own remorse, 


Leading me here again 


I’ve been through the fire, wandered the forest 


Bleeding me of my sins 

-An island in the sand, the desert plays its hand 


-Oasis of seclusion, Or is it just illusion? 

Up on the mountain, searching my soul 


Leaving me so uninspired


I went to the river--swift and cold
It led me to the mire 

-Chorus-


Lost in the wasteland, I’ve got to be free 


Losing sight in the sand


Where can I be?, Where can I be? 

Can you find your way again, through the pouring desert rain? 


Over maze of rippled dunes--just follow the moon 

-Chorus-


Lost in the wasteland, I’ve got to be free 


Losing sight in the sand


No one but me, no one but me 

Follow the beacon that leads from despair 


Your soul will be at rest


Without reason, no need for care 


Travel on with your last breath...

An island in the sea of solitary, the lands I left behind 


Alone against the world with a heart so young
So long ago 

Oh, fields of fire burn--reflect in my eyes--hot colors of the sun

 
Not so far away, not so long ago
Tierra del Fuego... 


-Chorus-


Land of fire, surrounds my soul 


Nowhere to turn, nowhere to go 


The waters flow away with my hopes and dreams, 


Far away they go


To a TIME AND A PLACE where I long to be, Oh... 

Now I stand alone in a land of fire, with only memories 


No more life, no more hope
Tierra del Fuego... 


(Chorus) 


Eternal fire becomes my home 


Forever I burn--I burn alone...

On the hunt, quietly approaching 


Still in the shadows, await the moment 


Silent and aware, the time has come 


Making his move, the prey has fallen... 


Guardian of the lair, powerful and strong 


Lead us on our path, show us the way

Giver of thought, share the strength

Fighting evil, protect us all...

Outside it’s cold, inside I’m alone


Outside there’s room to run, inside my heart -- nowhere to go
 

Without -- hurts more than I thought, 


Hopeless -- all I am without you


Even though I’m so alone, it won’t hurt me anymore 


-I could try to cut myself off 


-From everything going on... 


-Chorus-


I want to leave it all behind 

And forget this hollow life


I want to know what lies beyond 

Beyond this hollow life 

(Chorus) 


You’ve taken all that I had, and left me on my own 


Emptiness -- all that I feel


Darkness -- fills my soul...

Across the sands of the white ocean, sailing a rusty desert skiff 


Passing through the door of twilight, to find the ancient myth 

Travel over rock and under the sea, 


Unconfuse the labyrinth 


No golden fleece, no holy grail


Can balance the power of this 

-You can feel strength and faith

 
-When you find the time and place 

-Chorus-


I perceive the myth and fantasy 


I believe in truth and reality 

A drop of rain ignites the spark, to set off a funeral pyre 


Above’s no sky, but a hanging sea --
The water’s downpour a fire 

On the far side of the jungle line, lies a lost forgotten shire 


You can sense a change in prophecy 


Unquenchable desire


-You can fell strength and faith


-When you find a time and place 

(Chorus) 

Anytime you want, you can find escape 


But for what is myth and what is truth 


There’s A TIME AND A PLACE...

Flying on the wings of bird, 


It’s a story I’ve heard before 


Of lore and fantasy 


Reality is behind, soon I find I can fly to the sun 


Beyond the prism of the light 


Drifting in the sails of a ship, 


Across the seas I skim
I swim through eternity 


Majestically to the moon, soon I’ll lift through the clouds 


Beyond the prism by flight
Beyond the prism of the night... 


Soaring to the land of PANGAEA, 


My soul in the universe 


Song verse with harmony 


Elation fulfills my soul, 


Now I soar past the stars 


Beyond the prism by flight


Beyond the prism of the night...

When the sun sets in a cold, November sky 


I watch the day dissolve into the night 


When the clouds burst across an auburn sky 


I see you there, in a moment passing by 


In a cold, November sky... 


When the rains fall in a dark and silent night 


I hear the sound -- a voice from yesterday 


In a cold, November sky... 


When the sun’s set in a cold, November sky 


I feel your eyes staring through me 


When the stars fade in the distant Eastern sky 


I know the day arrives without you


In a cold, November sky... 

the sky...

One man walks on eggshells, one man walks the fence 


One man walks against the flow,


Another takes the last traveled road 


One man’s eyes are windows, one man’s eyes are mirrors 


One man keeps his eyes closed, another sees things clearer 


-Finding contentment in expressions and beliefs 


-One single truth -- all that he seeks 


-Chorus-


We are flesh, we are carnal, we are human 


We are Spirit, we are Soul, we are Mind 


Two parts in unity, two parts divided 


The sum of the whole when the two collided 


This is the world -- the human condition 


One man reads the pictures, one man reads the headlines 


One man reads the funny page, another reads between the lines 


-Binding commitment to impressions that she leaves 


-Awaking youth from a deep sleep... 

(Chorus)

Hey man of the world come down off your soapbox 


Come ‘cross the road to the other side


Hey man of the street leave your cardboard box 


Come walk the grass on the greener side... 


-Chorus-


One man, 
Living in one world 


We’re all one man, 
Living in one world 


Hey man of the Lord get off the picture box 


Don’t sell the Word, to make yourself rich


Hey man full of hate, leave your pillbox


Don’t spread the words -- which pull our world apart...

(Chorus Twice)

You say I don’t know - you say I don’t care


You say I’m the one who left you standing there


I stand so cool - I stand so bold


You stand there with tears that burn with cold



(Chorus)


Yesterday’s here - tomorrow’s gone


Got to find the strength to carry on


Yesterday's here - tomorrow’s gone


Someday I’ll be where I belong



You turn to him - you turn me away


I turn my back on you with nothing left to say


I know you were right - I know I was wrong 


I carry that weight though I’m not that strong



(Chorus)



(Chorus)

Had a lot, a lot of things now gone 


Held too tight, too tight, found I was wrong 


Couldn’t give, had no give and take 


I wonder if, was it all a mistake?

(Chorus)

Now you’re so far away, so far away from me


And it’s so hard to take, so hard to take you see


I wonder if I was wrong



Couldn’t say, what I had to say


Couldn’t stay, so you walked away


No more words, no more words today


Nothing to save, nothing left to save



(Chorus)



I live a life, a life of regret


Got no hope, now that you’ve left


Got a song, that’s all I need


It’s the only thing, the only thing I believe in



(Chorus)

I’m just around the corner - I’ll catch you when you fall


A shoulder you can cry on - the rock that makes you strong



Remember when I saw you - cold and wet with blackest eyes


I offered you my soul - did you realize?



- I will be your solid ground - the strength to hold you all around


- I was reaching out to you - from the world you thought you knew …



(Chorus)


Hold on, hold on



December days are colder - is there something we should do?


The fire surrounds me - will you be my refuge?



Remember when I saw you - cold and wet with blackest eyes


I offered you my soul - did you finally realize?



- I will be your solid ground - the strength to hold you up around


- I was reaching out to you - from the world you thought you knew …



(Chorus)


(Chorus)

I couldn’t see until you came in to my life


Just drifting through the crowd


Inside my walls - cold and numb


Asleep, asleep, in a shroud 



I wasn’t hoping for a change


Had no hope in sight


Been through it all - at least I thought


Until you, I didn’t know what it’s like …



(Chorus)


All l want - is to hold you and then


All I want - is to touch you and then


All I want - is to love you



When I stumble with my words


Clear the dirt from my face


When I wake up in the morning


Will you be gone, without a trace?

(Chorus)



Every time you’re gone it rains I swear


Every moment with you I want to share …  



(Chorus)

I can’t believe this is happening to me


Top of the world, as far as I can see


I can’t get down, I can’t get free


Can’t open the door, I don’t have the key



(Chorus)


Everyone wants to be on top


But it’s not all it’s cracked up to be


You may not like what you’ve got


But you would if you could see me



Life’s too short to live up here


Life’s going down on the street - over there


But life doesn’t wait - it passes by


I’ve got to get down - at least I have to try

(Chorus)



Someone get me down from here


Feel like I could use a beer


It’s very lonely and somewhat cold


Feel like I am getting old …



I can’t believe this is happening to me


Top of the world, as far as I can see


Cant’ go up, can’t come down, can’t get free


Can’t open the door, I have no key - I have no key … 



(Chorus)

You’re in a bad situation - you need a way out


Faced with an option - make your own decision


The signs are there - so don’t you ignore them


In the name of love - you went the wrong way 


What more can I say?



I searched to find you - but not soon enough


Backed in a corner - you can’t give up


I’ve come to save you - save you from yourself


You what to do now - you just gotta do it 



(Chorus)


I don’t know why, you can’t let it be


I don’t know why, this is life - c’est la vie



You’re in a bad situation - you need a way out


Weigh all our options - then you take the next step


The roads are there - so don’t you ignore them


In the name of love - you gotta believe 

(Chorus)



Should’ve been you - could’ve been me


Should’ve been me … 



(Chorus)

I wish I knew who could be the one right now


I wish I knew who could take this pain away


I wish I knew the words to say


The words to bring you back today - I wish I knew, I wish I knew



(Chorus)


Can’t you see that you and me - we should be together


Can’t you see that you move me - we should feed our hunger



I’m the sad, sad movie, the movie that makes you cry


I’m the reminiscent song you heard on the radio


I’m a funny joke - I’m a cigarette you smoke


I’m a cigarette baby - a cigarette baby 



(Chorus)



I’m the book that you read last night


I’m in your memories sleep tight


Let me live in your dreams - run across your mind


Baby can you see me?



I’m the story in the paper - I’m the headline news


I’m the bow in your hair - your favorite comfortable shoes


I’m a funny joke - the cigarette you smoke


Light that cigarette baby …



(Chorus)



I’m a cigarette baby, won’t you take, take a toke …

Can we just be friends? - that’s what she said


Can we just be friends? - here we go again



(Chorus)


Lost in day - without you, in a haze


I get lost - and it’s all I can do



I’ll find somewhere to run - I’ll find somewhere to run to


I’ll find something to hold on to - I just might find my way back to you



(Chorus)



Oh, take me to the other side


Make it what I dream at night


One on one, or two by two


My thoughts are what we do …



Can we just be friends? - that’s what she said


Can we just be friends? - here we go again



(Chorus)

Where’s my happy ending? It’s getting harder to see


All the sacrifices - what do they bring me?



- Take a common drive, work a mindless day


- Daydreams passing by, another life in mind



What more can I do? Something I don’t see


Always second guessing - where does it get me?



- Don’t worry about me, I’m doing alright

- I’m doing fine, got a look of sadness in my eyes …



(Chorus)


You can see it in my eyes


You can see it in my eyes



There’s no happy ending - it’s not hard to see


No more sacrifices - no more lies believed



Standing on the edge - clouds roll low


Can’t let myself fall - I can’t let go



- Don’t worry about me, I’m doing alright


- I’m doing fine, but a look of sadness in my eyes



(Chorus)



- Don’t worry about me, I’m doing alright


- I’m doing fine, got a look of madness in my eyes



(Chorus)

A wall of stone - between me and you


A code of silence - I can’t break through



Old intentions forgotten - so long ago


Someone before me - I don’t really know



(Chorus)


This wall of stone - must fall to the ground


Boundaries of silence will break with a sound


This wall of stone - can be chiseled away


If we let go of the anger that stands in our way


This wall of stone



How can it happen - to break this trust


Let so much pain - come between us



A tragic mistake - that I can’t believe


Eyes that are blind - but can truly see



(Chorus)



This wall of pain - let the anger fall away - let it go


Cause we can’t turn - our backs on how we feel


With nothing left to say …



(Chorus)

I don’t have any reason


I don’t have any idea how I’m gonna stay


Where I am - ahead of the rest



I don’t have any friends here


Nobody really cares whether I live or die


They’re putting me to the test



But I don’t know how long I can last

I’m gonna try - gotta catch my breath



(Chorus)


Can’t let ‘em catch me - there’s no prize for dreams


I’m running on ’til I’m free - Can’t let ‘em catch me 



Looking over my shoulder as I keep going


And my reasons - they fade away


I’m on top - that’s where I’m gonna stay



But I don’t know how long I can last


I’m gonna try - gotta catch my breath



(Chorus)

I am the lost son - the one you couldn’t trust


I am your last hope - when vision turns to dust 



Maybe forgotten - never see this hidden face


Like I was a dream between love and hate



(Chorus)


Sun god - never understood


Sun god - even if I could


Sun god - don’t mean a thing


Dig me up, learn my fate, hear the bell ring



This soul is not forgotten - though many years go by


The world has changed for certain - been sleeping, so have I


Now what can I say - to make you listen to your son


The arms are open wide - by my faith in this one … 



(Chorus)


(Chorus)
