1. Live 'Til You Die

When you think that heaven is ablaze
Deep beneath your feet
You don't have to really be afraid
Just think no retreat

You hide it when you cut the thread to life
The secret is out
You're walking down the highway of lost dreams
Yeah, and there's no doubt

You're going to live till you die
Counting the thoughts you put by
Sacred the one orphan child
Destined to collide
Always cast aside

When the barefoot prophets take the stand
Filling up your head
Gold and purple treasures in their hand
Everything misread

The starlight on the shadow garden falls
And there's no escape
You're broken and there's nowhere you can hide
No, there's no mistake

You're going to live till you die
Diamonds that spilled from your eye
Outrageous stories you told
Made my blood run cold
Faceless to behold

What's the price? Sold again
You don't feel so good
Can't explain, if you could
You don't think you should

You're going to live till you die
Counting the thoughts you put by
Sacred the one orphan child
Destined to collide
Always cast aside

You're going to live till you die
Diamonds that spilled from your eye
Outrageous stories you told
Made my blood run cold
Faceless to behold

You're going to live till you die
Counting the thoughts you put by
Sacred the one orphan child
Destined to collide
Always cast aside

You're going to live till you die

2. Unwritten Sacrifice

Beautiful sky, innocent dreams
Pictures once kissed now dead
Letters from home, no greater love
Discarded books unread

No bird will sing, nothing will grow
Bring on the faithless night
Crimson the blood, on skin, oh, so white
Unwritten sacrifice

A fiery storm will bring desolation
Too much left unsaid
While the moon lights up devastation
All of us misled
Sacred heart burns bright

You hear the people sing hallelujah
Every name a cross
While the actors still try to fool you
Pacify the rot
Shake like the first night

Morning comes round, and life disappears
Quietly now he sleeps
Sand in his eyes, still open wide
Buried his secret keeps

Details are lost, how did he die?
No one can recollect
What was his name? Who were his friends?
Give him his self-respect

A fiery storm will bring desolation
Too much left unsaid
While the moon lights up devastation
All of us misled
Sacred heart burns bright

You hear the people sing hallelujah
Every name a cross
While the actors still try to fool you
Pacify the rot
Shake like the first night

There's a ghost, walks by your side
And for you no turning back
Murderous dance, nowhere to hide
Silent drummer in jet black

A fiery storm will bring desolation
Too much left unsaid
While the moon lights up devastation
All of us misled
Sacred heart burns bright

You hear the people sing hallelujah
Every name a cross
While the actors still try to fool you
Pacify the rot
Shake like the first night

3. Falling For The Big Plan

When no one knows you
You can be just who you are
There's nothing to get through
You don't have to see very far
They won't track you down
And you won't get caught in the middle
Some other grey town
That you just don't need

Nobody here can feel your pain
Nobody here will take the strain

It's the dead of night
Crossed with holy water
Full moon shining in her eyes
With no appetite
Heading for the border
Black dress like somebody died
Can't see which road to take
Somehow make it or break
Tried to change her name
Life in such disorder
And things will never be the same

Her ship has been sailing
She's missed it over the years
How long she's been waiting
To follow some crazy idea
And she's going to go
Whatever it takes to deliver
'Cause she'll always know
In what to believe

Nobody here can feel your pain
Nobody here will take the strain

It's the dead of night
Crossed with holy water
Full moon shining in her eyes
With no appetite
Heading for the border
Black dress like somebody died
Can't see which road to take
Somehow make it or break
Tried to change her name
Life in such disorder
And things will never be the same

Falling for the big plan
That's decided by your teacher
And you're falling for the tin man
Who survives the double feature
And you're falling
Oh, you're falling
Yeah, you're falling, yeah, yeah

It's the dead of night
Crossed with holy water
Full moon shining in her eyes
With no appetite
Heading for the border
Black dress like somebody died
Can't see which road to take
Somehow make it or break
Tried to change her name
Life in such disorder
And things will never be the same

It's the dead of night
Crossed with holy water
Full moon shining in her eyes
With no appetite
Heading for the border
Black dress like somebody died
Can't see which road to take
Somehow make it or break
Tried to change her name
Life in such disorder
And things won't be the same

4. Crying In The Rain

Thought you'd got what you needed
Closed your eyes to what's there
Thought you'd got what you needed
Now she's gone and she don't care
Well, your time's laying open
Everything is cast aside
But the thing you didn't count on
Was your everlasting pride

Your heart's beating fast
Slow down, you won't get much older
A love unsurpassed
Won't grow colder

Oh, well, there you go again
Now, you miss her every day
Oh, and how it shook your world
Yeah, wished you could walk away
Now, she's left you crying in the rain
Just like before
Yeah, she's left you crying in the rain
Closed every door

Think you've found what you wanted
But you always complain
Think you've found what you wanted
Yeah, it's always the same
You got caught in the crossfire
What you said was just a lie
Poisonous tongue and wicked stories
That's the thing you can't deny

No one takes the blame
They say it goes on forever
It's a waiting game
You know better

Oh, well, there you go again
Now, you miss her every day
Oh, and how it shook your world
Yeah, wished you could walk away
Now, she's left you crying in the rain
Just like before
Yeah, she's left you crying in the rain
Closed every door

Picture yourself
And try if you can
To be someone else
Like you give a damn
Oh, picture yourself
And don't look away
Yeah, picture yourself
On your final day

Don't ask, you should know
This time, well, it's now or never
And bad waters flow
It's no pleasure

Oh, well, there you go again
Now, you miss her every day
Oh, and how it shook your world
Yeah, wished you could walk away
Now, she's left you crying in the rain
Just like before
Yeah, she's left you crying in the rain
Closed every door

Now, she's left you crying in the rain
Just like before
Yeah, she's left you crying in the rain
Closed every door

5. Too Many Clowns

So play the game
We're all beginners
Stand by the flame
There'll be no winners
No preacher here
Will answer your questions
They'll run in fear
At some suggestions

Look now the circus is here
Too many clowns
Waiting for freedom to disappear

The old man wonders where he'll sleep tonight
Young girl on the streets will have to fight
Mother and her children finally lost
Fallen king will never know the cost

Excuse me please
If I'm outspoken
You've lost your keys
Your locks are broken
You walk alone
Down empty hallways
You hide behind
Your private doorways

Someone keeps changing the rules
You must believe
That we could be someone else's fool

The old man wonders where he'll sleep tonight
Young girl on the streets will have to fight
Mother and her children finally lost
Fallen king will never know the cost

The old man wonders where he'll sleep tonight
Young girl on the streets will have to fight
Mother and her children finally lost
Fallen king will never know the cost

The old man wonders where he'll sleep tonight
Young girl on the streets will have to fight
Mother and her children finally lost
Fallen king will never know the cost

6. Midnight Angel

Have you seen the midnight angel
Walking slowly down the street?
You can see her eyes are flashing
But they say she never speaks
And the story goes, she lost her way
But I think she lost her faith
There's a lot of souls go missing here
It's not safe

Have you seen the midnight angel?
Well, I hear she's done it all
Made a fool of politicians
And the law as I recall
There was no one who could teach her right
'Cause they all had moved away
There's a lot of souls go missing here
Every day

Those stupid questions won't help the flood
Of good intentions, misunderstood
But still the footsteps of life go on
And we embrace it until it's gone
She played it hard in the glare of the crowd
And now there's nowhere to run

Have you seen the midnight angel?
She'll be standing by the wall
Like an enemy assassin
Had to learn to take the fall
Tries to memorise their faces well
But they all come out the same
There's a lot of souls go missing here
Lost in vain

Have you seen the midnight angel?
Every night she gets reborn
She don't celebrate the passing
Turns away and takes the scorn
Like a pharaoh's gold, Egyptian queen
Disappears without a trace
There's a lot of souls go missing here
In this place

Those stupid questions won't help the flood
Of good intentions, misunderstood
But still the footsteps of life go on
And we embrace it until it's gone
She played it hard in the glare of the crowd
And now there's nowhere to run

Did you read the midnight angel
Couldn't show her face tonight?
There's a body in the water
And there's blood on someone's knife
But the story will be swept away
Just to keep somebody clean
There's a lot of souls go missing here
So it seems

Have you seen the midnight angel
Walking slowly down the street?
You can see her eyes are flashing
But they say she never speaks

7. The Art Of Compromise

I hear every word that you say
They're captured in time
If only you'd met me halfway
Walk up to the line
Oh, I know everything has a name
And things have their place
Do you know what you've really become?
It's there on your face

Raining up above the stormy skies
Falling straight into your tearful eyes

Every night you hope and pray
That good fortune will come your way
Never stumble, never fall
Don't you know that you've got it all?

But now it's a friend you've become
I'm catching that breath
I know that it's coming undone
It's time to confess
Oh, I'm finding it hard to describe
That warm human touch
The one that will keep me alive
I need it so much

Darkness filling up my head today
Silence to remember all the way

Every night you hope and pray
That good fortune will come your way
Never stumble, never fall
Don't you know that you've got it all?

Dreaming, watching wild horses run
Golden, out of the sun
Feeling, there's nothing that can be done
Counting, them one by one

Every night you hope and pray
That good fortune will come your way
Never stumble, never fall
Don't you know that you've got it all?

Every night you hope and pray
That good fortune will come your way
Never stumble, never fall
Don't you know that you've got it all?

8. Don't Fall Asleep

You know I'll stand by your side
When you happen to fall
With arms open wide
And you feeling so small

You hold on to me
And I'll, I'll make it all right
You're desperate to see
So then I'll turn on your light

Too tired to walk
Too drowsy to think or talk

Don't fall asleep and fear the raging storm
Just let your magic lantern burn
Don't fall asleep, that's where all dreams are born
Until the pages have been turned

Because some people get caught
But we've all something to hide
They, they give it no thought
Carry on like they were blind

Tell me how you feel
If it's good or if it's bad
Try not to conceal
Or deny all that you have

Too tired to walk
Too drowsy to think or talk

Don't fall asleep and fear the raging storm
Just let your magic lantern burn
Don't fall asleep, that's where all dreams are born
Until the pages have been turned

Speak of truth and life
In our fragile hands
Everything is changing
Crossing no-man's land
Stranded by our lies
Caught up in the rain
No one can explain

Don't fall asleep and fear the raging storm
Just let your magic lantern burn
Don't fall asleep, that's where all dreams are born
Until the pages have been turned

Don't fall asleep and fear the raging storm
Just let your magic lantern burn
Don't fall asleep, that's where all dreams are born
Now the pages have been turned

9. Wisdom's Had It's Day

We're hopelessly confused
Wisdom's had its day
No one gets excused
And the world is watching you
What d'you have to say?
What d'you have to do?

Some wounded in love
And then there's some covered in blood

Now I'll tell you how I feel
I'm lost, feeling second-hand
Do you treasure what you steal?
Can you tell me where you stand?

We have to stand or fall
All that we believe
It's right before our eyes
But if it rings untrue
Turn your back and leave
You might fall right through

Some lie to make do
And maybe that's your point of view

Now I'll tell you how I feel
I'm lost, feeling second-hand
Do you treasure what you steal?
Can you tell me where you stand?

Be still the angel of death
Spreading your wings 'cross the sky
Preening yourself for success
Watching the widows pass by
And every bullet that's shot
To every baby that cries
And all the things we forgot
As we are waving goodbye

Now I'll tell you how I feel
I'm lost, feeling second-hand
Do you treasure what you steal?
Can you tell me where you stand?

Now I'll tell you how I feel
I'm lost, feeling second-hand
Do you treasure what you steal?
Can you tell me where you stand?

We're hopelessly confused
Wisdom's had its day

10. Burning River

Sky turned crimson, wild desire
Witches scream your name
On their bloody carousel
Soon to play their game
And your fire will be turned to ice
All your horses returned to mice
By a killer lagoon
On the night of the wayward moon

Never try to cross that burning river
It won't get you satisfied
Never try to cross that burning river
There's nothing on the other side
No one to show you and no one to hear
No one to see when you cry
Never try to cross that burning river
Swimming up against the tide

Walking on that scarlet trail
Haunted angels tread
Shrouded by a veil of tears
Many prayers were said
But the magic will disappear
If you visit this dark frontier
And be almost consumed
On the night of the wayward moon

Never try to cross that burning river
It won't get you satisfied
Never try to cross that burning river
There's nothing on the other side
No one to show you and no one to hear
No one to see when you cry
Never try to cross that burning river
Swimming up against the tide

And did you know they call you the window man
Looking on as the world goes by
But if you knew the thoughts of a clever man
You would ride on the wings of a blue sky

Never try to cross that burning river
It won't get you satisfied
Never try to cross that burning river
There's nothing on the other side
No one to show you and no one to hear
No one to see when you cry
Never try to cross that burning river
Swimming up against the tide

No one to show you and no one to hear
No one to see when you cry
Never try to cross that burning river
Swimming up against the tide

11. The Valley Of Tears

It's not real
Drowning in an ocean as black as night
Summer rain so loud
It hurts your face so coldly
Takes away the fury that shines so bright
And pushed away the clouds
When you think everything's gone wrong
And your feelings are all too strong
It's bad enough
Don't you think it's crazy to just take flight?

This is me
Burning just as high as the city lights
All your wars are won
There's no talking to you
All the pages written have turned to white
And they've all begun
To be something that you can't read
Into something that will succeed
Say a prayer
That's the good news daily, oh, well, that's life

Hey, maybe you can't change the world
But don't run away
And don't be so deeply concerned
You own every day
Well, maybe you can't change the world
It's yours anyway

Here today
Can you feel the power under your skin?
Dreams that come alive
It's a big illusion
Counting up the favours that you could win
If you take the dive
That's the chance that we all must take
And be sure that you don't forsake
So it goes
Everything without, everything within

Hey, maybe you can't change the world
But don't run away
And don't be so deeply concerned
You own every day
Well, maybe you can't change the world
It's yours anyway

Life goes on
Innocent the baby with eyes so clear
No one knows his name
And I swear that's holy
Things will be the same for a million years
No one takes the blame
But the sun will come up each day
And the moon will be on its way
Rich or poor
Well, it's all the same in the valley of tears

Hey, maybe you can't change the world
But don't run away
And don't be so deeply concerned
You own every day
Well, maybe you can't change the world
It's yours anyway

Hey, maybe you can't change the world
But don't run away
And don't be so deeply concerned
You own every day
