1. The Crown

I hear you calling with a challenge that I can't ignore
And I'm recalling that we've said all you're saying before
And though you're proclaiming you found something new
You're not the first of the last
You can't claim to discover what's stood there before
Cause your future is somebody's past

Eternal stories last just a moment in time
There is no warning it's gone in the blink of an eye
Though it is written in ages been said
A wise man should already know
There's a change of the tide an end to the ride
But we have to find out on our own

A fading reflection
Out of our ashes reborn
Why can't you see the connection
Is it so tattered and torn
You're just claiming a crown
That so many have already worn

2. Together We Fly

A lonely cry a melody out of the distance
A simple song with a bittersweet memory
As years go by this memory grows ever clearer
A quest to find the key to the treasure I seek

Brother fights brother
Mistrusting each other
Ther treasure of truth cannot shine
We can't stand alone
But together we reach to the sky

Together we fly
Together we fall
What's done to one
Is done to all
It's in our hands
To make the call
Together we fly
Together fall

A guiding light leading out of confusion
A glowing torch to show us the way
When we divide there can be no solution
Till we decide though we're different
We're really the same

What's so special about us
Cause with or without us
This world will go on
It could take us or leave us
And not even notice we're gone

Together we fly
Together we fall
What's done to one
Is done to all
It's in our hands
To make the call
Together we fly
Together fall

Brother fights brother
Mistrusting each other
The treasure of truth cannot shine
We can't stand alone
But together we reach to the sky

Together we fly
Together we fall
What's done to one
Is done to all
It's in our hands
To make the call
Together we fly
Together fall

Together we fly
Together we fall
What's done to one
Is done to all
It's in our hands
To make the call
Together we fly
Together fall

4. Fire And Water

My troubled heart is aching
It's touched by a distant voice
Truth has real power
But so do lies
It's time to make the choice
There's a time for living
And there's a time to die
And though I never needed answers
Now I'm asking why
I feel the anger growing
I'm so confused by all that I see
Brothers killing brothers
For religious bigotry
I see the children's faces
Scarred with rage and fear
And the truth in their hearts
And the hope in their eyes
Is drowning in their tears

Its written in blood
Its written in stone
Earth is home
Earth is home where life must grow
From the seeds of love we'll sow

Fire and water
Sunshine and rain
Fire and water
So life can start again
We need fire
Fire and water
Fire and water

And if our world is to survive (gotta survive)
We must turn back this rising tide (turn the tide)
Their evil gods have to die (they have to die)
Tear down their temples and stop their crimes

We'll build a world that's strong and free
Where lust and greed don't breed poverty
And children grow without the fear of war
And when truth is good it brings so much more, it brings

Fire and water
Sunshine and rain
Fire and water
So life can start again
We need fire
Fire and water
Fire and water

Fire and water
Sunshine and rain
Fire and water
So life can start again
We need fire
Fire and water
Fire and water

5. Restless Angel

Here I sit with a dose of reality
More alone than I ever thought I'd be
As I look in your eyes
They speak to me clearly now
With these memories I hold
I'll be alright somehow

There we were lost in a fantasy
Never cared just what the cost could be
I held out my hand but you were the restless one
You opened my eyes then flew straight into the sun

This everlasting is written in the sky
I may have loved and lost you
But I never said goodbye

Restless angel
I wonder where you've gone
I cannot lie to you
Each day I'm just trying to carry on
Now I'm alone
I think of you at night
And the tears of joy that we once cried
But its all erased
They have been replaced
Tears fallin' down my face
Is the taste of wasted love

If there's just one joy I will know in my life
Then this torturous love and this pain
Must mean that you were mine
Could it be so wrong
It can't be just black or white
But the truth is you're gone
And somehow I'll be alright

This neverending story
Is written in the sky
I may have loved and lost you
But I never, I never, I swear with each word in this song
That I won't say goodbye

Restless angel
I wonder where you've gone
I cannot lie to you
Each day I'm just trying to carry on
Now I'm alone
I think of you at night
And the tears of joy that we once cried
But its all erased
They have been replaced
Tears fallin' down my face
Is the taste of wasted love

6. Children's Memory

Time... look back in time
Ages lost in a veil of mystery
Signs... so many signs
Pointing to bloodshed and misery
So many battles too many wars
Bodies piled like an alter to the sun
So many swords sharpened with lies
Excuses for distruction that's been done

And the kings will dine on the travesty
While the funeral pyres burn
We choke upon the smoke
Yet we refuse to learn

Who has the right
The magical touch
To take what we needed so much
Can't turn my back
Can't close my eyes
No matter how hard I try
Can't all our hearts beat as if one
Even though damage is done
And we'll make this just a childrens memory

Nothing but struggle is life
The only coin we have which which to trade
We are in trouble
How many times must the same debt be paid

As the royal few sit and brew their tea
In the sacrificial blood
They refuse to see that the final destiny is dust

Who has the right
The magical touch
To take what we needed so much
Can't turn my back
Can't close my eyes
No matter how hard I try
Can't all our hearts beat as if one
Even though damage is done
And we'll make this just a childrens memory

And the kings will dine on you and me
While the funeral pyres still burn
We choke upon the smoke
Yet we refuse to learn
Refuse to learn

Who has the right
The magical touch
To take what we needed so much
Can't turn my back
Can't close my eyes
No matter how hard I try
Can't all our hearts beat as if one
Even though damage is done
And we'll make this just a childrens memory

Who has the right
The magical touch
To take what we needed so much
Can't turn my back
Can't close my eyes
No matter how hard I try
Can't all our hearts beat as if one
Even though damage is done
And we'll make this just a childrens memory

7. Good Times

Monday morning it's 6 A.M.
The noise is knockin' me out of my dream
I just want to stay right here in bed
That I gotta get up just seems obcene

And though I'd rather go back to where I was
Back to what I was dreaming of
A simpler world where life was not so hard

Tell me where have the good times gone
Where have the good times gone
It seems like it's been so long
Where have the good times gone
They were here now they're lost without a trace
And my life is like a goddamned disgrace
Its been so long
Tell me where have the good times gone

Runaway train on a one way track
How'd this load get on my back
Another day older it just ain't right
Down on the ground like I lost the fight

And though I'd rather go back to where I've been
Go back and start it all again
I swear that I'd never let it slip away

Tell me where have the good times gone
Where have the good times gone
It seems like it's been so long
Where have the good times gone
They were here now they're lost without a trace
And my life is like a goddamned disgrace
Its been so long
Tell me where have the good times gone

Tell me where have the good times gone
Where have the good times gone
It seems like it's been so long
Where have the good times gone
They were here now they're lost without a trace
And my life is like a goddamned disgrace
Its been so long
Tell me where have the good times gone

And though I'd rather go back to where I was
Back to what I was dreamin' of
A simpler time when life was not so hard

Tell me where have the good times gone
Where have the good times gone
It seems like it's been so long
Where have the good times gone
They were here now they're lost without a trace
And my life is like a goddamned disgrace
Its been so long
Tell me where have the good times gone

Tell me where have the good times gone
Where have the good times gone
It seems like it's been so long
Where have the good times gone
They were here now they're lost without a trace
And my life is like a goddamned disgrace
Its been so long
Tell me where have the good songs gone

8. Torturous Game

Stare at the number
Written on my wall
Funny to feel how fast I am falling
From the beginning
I knew wanting you was wrong
But it all fades away
As I am calling

I wish somehow even now
I'd say the words that could save
I try to speak
But silently reach for the telephone

What a torturous game
I keep playing
And I know it's insane
I should be running
But I keep staying
What a torturous game
In your arms I find empty desire
And I know its insane
What a torturous, torturous game

9. Sunshine Again

I've lived in the darkness
Stood in the light
Crawled through the shadows
Between wrong and right
I've been king on my mountain
Adrift on the sea
And I know
After all that I've been
There'll be sunshine again

I've seen beauty that's timeless
Just run out of time
Tasted the sweetness
And choked on the wine
Walked a line so narrow
When the path was so wide
And I know
On each road that I've been
There'll be sunshine again

Is there one fool among us
Ain't been stuck on that page
Been knocked down so far
Seems like nothin's, nothin's gonna change

Now I've heard all the answers
Most of them lies
I've seen a whole wide world
Just left there to die
And I am so, so tired
And I can't get no rest
But I know
Yes I know this my friend
Though I can't say
I can't say just where or when
There'll be sunshine again

10. Foolish Deception

You say that I'm the only one for you
And I want you to know I feel the same
All that I am
Is in you hands
But there's something
I just don't understand

It's a foolish deception
Thinking two wrongs can make it right
Moving in the wrong direction
Ain't gonna get us through the nights
Baby, how long we gonna keep hidin'
From the light of what we already have

The names that we wrote in the book of love
Have grown faded and worn
Along the way
Our love was built on solid ground
Better stop before we both tear it down

Honey what a foolish deception
Thinking two wrongs can make it right
Moving in the wrong direction
Ain't gonna get us through the nights
Baby how long we gonna keep hidin'
From the light of what we already have

It's a foolish deception
Thinking two wrongs can make it right
Moving in the wrong direction
Ain't gonna get us through the nights
Baby, how long we gonna keep hidin'
From the light of what we already have

It's a foolish deception
Thinking two wrongs can make it right
Moving in the wrong direction
Ain't gonna get us through the nights
Baby, how long we gonna keep hidin'
From the light of what we already have
