1. Just Like An Arrow

We talk endlessly don't get anywhere
Born in reality cradled in care
If you needed me or mistreated me
Won't you still be there

And those lonely nights when you find it hard
Losing your appetite breaking apart
If you needed me or mistreated me
Don't break my heart

It goes deep my love only for you
Just like an arrow
It goes deep my love only for you
Just like an arrow
Straight through your heart

2. Soldier Of The Line

Soldier of the line, how does it feel?
You're far away from home, polishing steel
The sun moves in between the mountain and sky
As dawn puts out its fingers, splitting them wide

Soldier of the line, what do you know?
About the other side, they never show
They must be well disguised, biding their time
Their armour well prepared so nothing will shine

Solider of the line, would you kill me?
There's something in your eyes stopping you see
They're cloudy and you turn your head away
What's that rolling down your face, are you okay?

Hold back those tears from your eyes
Don't show those feelings inside

You're in a murderous playground
War games on a castle wall
You're in a murderous playground
Crossed out if you dare to fall

Soldier of the line, it isn't fair
You're bleeding deep inside, nobody cares
Your flag and lance stand proud, splintered and red
No movement in the fields, the crows will be fed

Soldier of the line, you've come to the end
You'll never get to see your mother again
Some unfamiliar place you're going to stay
An unremembered name, an unforgettable day

You're in a murderous playground
War games on a castle wall
You're in a murderous playground
Crossed out if you dare to fall

3. Changes

With every word I hear, there's no sympathy
It was destroyed and swept away
It is replaced by something I can't see
To stay forever and always

We really should try and talk it out
Avoid the same mistake again
But I can see there will be no doubt
Looks like we have reached the end

I'm going through changes, so many changes
I'm losing my senses, don't know what to do
I'll go through my changes, faster than you

Is there no one who feels the same as me?

I'm going through changes, so many changes
I'm losing my senses, don't know what to do
I'll go through my changes, faster than you

4. Sacred Hour

All of my dreams that fell through and had tasted so sour
Take second place in my mind for this one sacred hour
Still I've been moved for so long by this strange fascination
Here, as I stand all alone in complete concentration

Face through the clouds and the gods shine with awe splendour
Rise up and roar, they approve, will they always remember?
I hear the voice of the crowd, it will last forever
Locked in my heart, kept away like a stolen treasure

I can hear them calling
Hear the crowd applauding
If it's real, I like the feeling
If I'm wrong, who am I deceiving?

Night after night it repeats an exciting romance
Shared by us all, though we met by a fleeting half chance
Caught trapped in time, no escape from this powerful dream world
Pleased, though I am to be here, I am lost in the real world

I can hear them calling
Hear the crowd applauding
If it's real, I like the feeling
If I'm wrong, who am I deceiving?

All of my dreams that fell through and had tasted so sour
Take second place in my mind for this one sacred hour
Still I've been moved for so long by this strange fascination
Here, as I stand all alone in complete concentration

I can hear them calling
Hear the crowd applauding
If it's real, I like the feeling
If I'm wrong, who am I deceiving?

In this one sacred hour

5. Great Adventure

I looked the lights as it faded fast
Where am I going, no one tells me
A journey far beyond my dreams
Everyone knowing no one can see

Beneath me flows a silver sea
Deeper than ever, take me over
Above me miles and miles of sky
Forbidden treasure don't grow older

How could it take so long to decide?
Now I've made up my mind, to sail for
Great adventure – claim your lonely years
Great adventure – save your only tears

I looked the lights as it faded fast
Where am I going, no one tells me
A journey far beyond my dreams
Everyone knowing no one can see

Across the universe we reach further
Until we've found what we are seeking
Within ourselves our future lies waiting
For a solution, none repeating

How could it take so long to decide?
Now I've made up my mind to sail for
Great adventure – claim your lonely years
Great adventure – save your only tears

6. The Lights Burned Out

The lights burned out and with it, it's taken my eyes
It seems so hard, it's taken me by surprise
And, oh baby, all that you said must be lies

I cease to feel the wind and the rain on my face
Sometimes I'm sure but then I'm confused in my haste
And, oh baby, I'm standing by taking no space

But I don't cry so easy, no, I don't cry at all
You don't believe me and I think that's my only downfall

What am I going to do about you, baby?
What am I going to do without you now?
What am I going to do about you, baby?
What am I going to do without you now?
What am I going to do without you now?

You had my love, wild as an ocean could call
I was the fool and you were the winner, take all
And, oh baby, it's so much to me, yet so small

What am I going to do about you, baby?
What am I going to do without you now?
What am I going to do about you, baby?
What am I going to do without you now?
What am I going to do without you now?

7. In The Beginning

Pages were written, turned yellow, the age of the rhyme
Sadly confused by us all with the passing of time
Oh no, I tell you no lie, no madman am I
Give me another chance in another way
Give me another time in another day
Give me another part in another play

Silken the hand that has touched me and helped me till now
Torment replaces the feelings that face you somehow
Oh no, I tell you no lie, no madman am I
Give me another chance in another way
Give me another time in another day
Give me another part in another play

Oh no, I tell you no lie, no madman am I
Give me another chance in another way
Give me another time in another day
Give me another part in another play

Words that are whispered surround me and call to my ear
Courage embrace me, though tears may forsake me, I fear
Oh no, I tell you no lie, no madman am I
Give me another chance in another way
Give me another time in another day
Give me another part in another play

Will someone take my place?
I'm the prince of dreams, no one knows my face
I come to rest my mind
Help me understand, see what I can find

What's this before me now?
What's that behind?
It's the prophet of the morning star
He's not so blind

He calls to me so clear
Saying very soon, sorrow will be here
But before they pull you down
There's just one chance, for you to stay around

Or else a war to end all wars
Sink without a trace
I am the prince of dreams
And you shall know my face
You're going to know my face

Find the light that shines on everyone
Someone shines the light for me
Look inside yourself to understand
The question's answered, now I see

I am your life
I am your life
I am your god-given life

8. How Far Jerusalem

They are the victims of the night
Ride against the wind – born to lose the fight
They fill the doorways, they come far
Holding what they bring – details on a card
And on a rainy night like this
Someone shuts the door – goodbye on their lips

They are the victims of the night
Ride against the wind – born to lose the fight
They fill the doorways, they come far
Holding what they bring – details on a card
And on a rainy night like this
Someone shuts the door – goodbye on their lips

There is no charity from where they come
There's nothing left to be
In stark reality thy will be done
For you, for them, for me

How far jerusalem – before the heart breaks down
No kings among them – cold feet in london town
How far jerusalem – oh, broken hearted clown
We stand among them – cold feet in london town

They are in search of liberty's trail
Equal in their eyes – faces drawn and pale
So many hearts have gone before
Probably ignored – crashing to the floor
They are the victims of the night
Ride against the wind – born to lose the fight

There is no charity from where they come
There's nothing left to be
In stark reality thy will be done
For you, for them, for me

How far jerusalem – before the heart breaks down
No kings among them – cold feet in london town
How far jerusalem – oh, broken hearted clown
We stand among them – cold feet in london town

9. The Spirit

Don't place your trust in foolish promises sworn
Nor cryptic message scrawled upon every wall
Street corner justice beware
The spirit will find you always be fair

The shallow verse once read means nothing at all
Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall
In lies your heart will not share
The spirit inside you is used without care

To the spirit that guides you, follow it through
To the spirit inside you, always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside you is used without care

The battlefield of glory pales into rust
The river flows much thicker, fed by each thrust
No beast alive does compare
The spirit besides you everywhere

Let not your head be turned by tainted reward
And dreams of fortune won, forever to hoard
Your conscience could not repair
The spirit inside you is used without care

'Cause it will be your shelter
Help you how to decide
And it will be your helper
Should your loyalties divide

The spirit that guides you, follow it through
To the spirit inside you, always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside you is used without care

The ash of pages swept before the cruel wind
The loss of choices praises no one will sing
No clues to how you will fare
The spirit implores you tread where you dare

The dust lies thick on casket, rich or quite poor
Distinction disappears, the worm both deplore
The candle burns out once more
For the spirit inside you won't be ignored

The spirit that guides you, follow it through
To the spirit inside you, always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside you is used without care

10. The Word

Wait, here's a word or two
To you who are passing through
Time is on your side
Though some may be denied
Just waiting, standing around
The time will come for everyone
Still waiting, soon to be found
The light inside of everyone

Nobody said that it was easy
Making your way all by yourself
But you take what you've got
Though it don't seem a lot
And you give it the best that you can

Life is a precious thing, so don't burn it up, start living it day by day
Life is a precious thing, so don't burn it up, start living it day by day

Though we must carry on
In time we will think upon
All those peaceful nights
When everything went right
Just waiting, standing around
The time will come for everyone
Still waiting, soon to be found
The light inside of everyone

Nobody said that it was easy
Making your way all by yourself
But you take what you've got
Though it don't seem a lot
And you give it the best that you can

Life is a precious thing, so don't burn it up, start living it day by day
Life is a precious thing, so don't burn it up, start living it day by day

11. The Prize

There are no secrets under the sun
All our troubles are rolled into one
Early warning, get ready to run
But it's hard to see clear
For we might disappear
With the prize hardly won

When books and theories daily contest
It's like a welcome from the chapel of rest
No salvation, no one is blessed
While in private we shake
There's no time to make
One small request

No more winners or losers
To talk into the night
No more beggars or choosers
They're drawn into the fight
The race is on

There are no secrets under the sun
All our troubles are rolled into one
Early warning, get ready to run
But it's hard to see clear
For we might disappear
With the prize hardly won

No more winners or losers
To talk into the night
No more beggars or choosers
They're drawn into the fight

12. Kingdom Of Madness

When the night is on the run and your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul, beast of morning then unfold
In a whirlpool sadness creeps, shadows walk with silent feet
Is there something in the air, turns your hope into despair?

Oh, kingdom of madness – you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've got me on the run

When the night is on the run and your dreams are almost gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul, beast of morning then unfold
Take your hands away from me, leave my eyes so I can see
It's not pleasure that you seek, you destroy the ones who are weak

Oh, kingdom of madness – you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've got me on the run

The minstrel sings as he looks at me but he doesn't make a sound
And a lovely time is had by all as the jester plays around
Everyone's laughing, everyone's laughing, everyone's laughing but me

Oh, kingdom of madness – you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness – you've got me on the run

13. If I Could Live Forever

Friday night is almost over
Not a word has passed between
And before I get much older

I know if I could live forever
Nothing would change to better
Nothing will change at all
You gave me your love to last me forever, I know
You gave me your love to last me wherever I go

Now the world did sell so cheaply
For the price of just a kiss
Why should anyone believe me?

I know if I could live forever
Nothing would change to better
Nothing will change at all
You gave me your love to last me forever, I know
You gave me your love to last me wherever I go

Friday night is almost over
Not a word has passed between
And before I get much older

If again, he should embrace you
Would you follow him or stay?
Could you take what you would go through?

I know if I could live forever
Nothing would change to better
Nothing will change at all
You gave me your love to last me forever, I know
You gave me your love to last me wherever I go

14. Lords Of Chaos

Riders of the night are screaming hard above my heels
Princely lord of chaos forges black and fiery wheels
And the mother of the earth is being widowed in my sight
Father of deception, using wrong instead of right

And the moon overshadows the sun
And the masters of war carry on
While the fools and the jokers make fun
See them run

Sister of illusion, bend and follow in their mould
Brother of opinion, just remember what you're told
Not a weapon in a traitor's hand will harm you twice as bad
Forests of indifference guaranteed to make you mad

And the moon overshadows the sun
And the masters of war carry on
While the fools and the jokers make fun
See them run

They can't be playing, turning the upside down
They've got me praying, I'll end up in the ground

When they burn up everything, kill the air for me to breathe
Still they would be thinking there was more they could achieve
Then at last, they would be beaten, for alone they all would stand
Looking at each other, just as if it had been planned

And the moon disappears with the sun
And the masters are masters of none
While the fools and the jokers are gone
Now they're one

They can't be playing, turning the inside down
They've got me praying, I'll end up in the ground

And the moon overshadows the sun
And the masters of masters of none
While the fools and the jokers are gone
Now they're one

15. On A Storyteller's Night

There's a storm lamp on the table
Throwing shadows to the gable
And you swallow if you're able
On a storyteller's night
From the poorhouse, chimes indifferent
Seven towers, seven sisters
Every black heart walks the distance
On a storyteller's night

Try to sleep on your pillow and dream
Sleep, all god's children to keep
Though we all lose track of time
Disappears like faded lines

Keep your nightlight burning – I'll come through wind and rain
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll be with you once again

There's a chill wind at your back door
And the fire cracks on the damp floor
You hear footsteps but you're not sure
On a storyteller's night
See the night sky supernova
Chase the cold moon passing over
Start the dragon's fire to smoulder
On a storyteller's night

Try to sleep on your pillow and dream
Sleep, all god's children to keep
Though we all lose track of time
Disappears like faded lines

Keep your nightlight burning – I'll come through wind and rain
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll be with you once again
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll come through wind and rain
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll be with you once again

Try to sleep on your pillow and dream
Sleep, all god's children to keep
Though we all lose track of time
Disappears like faded lines

Keep your nightlight burning – I'll come through wind and rain
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll be with you once again
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll come through wind and rain
Keep your nightlight burning – I'll be with you once again
