1. Before First Light

Every step I take along the way
Every hour of every single day
Your don't listen to a word I say
I stand patiently waiting here

You left a message on the nearest wall
Just the same as the ones before
I don't believe it when you write you'll call
I stand patiently waiting here

I want you here to help me through the night
Want you my dear don't leave before first light
I want you here to help me through the night

2. 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

3. All England's Eyes

Not forsaken, another heart
They lie taken in foreign parts
Someone breaking another heart
They lie waiting in foreign parts

Old england's skies
Turn black and she cries – wet again
All england's eyes
Turn black and they cry – yet again

Standing over another heart
Winds blow colder in foreign parts
And the nameless, the sacred heart
Come to claim us from foreign parts

Old england's skies
Turn black and she cries – wet again
All england's eyes
Turn black and they cry – yet again

4. The Light 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?

5. Endless Love

You're a believer of the wayward call
Heavens above, what comes with that?
No crystal gazing on an empty shore
Don't dip your eyes, don't turn your back

You make no promises when you break their hearts
Your magic power turns to dust
You're off and running long before it starts
That's what you do, stay untouched

No endless love – can't find no endless love
No endless love – can't find no endless love

I've turned the corner and there's no one there
You've peeled your shadow off the wall
Now I've crossed the border and so please beware
I'm never sure of you at all

No endless love – can't find no endless love
No endless love – can't find no endless love

6. 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

7. 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

8. 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

9. Les Mort Dansant

Cannons roared, in the valley they thundered, while the guns lit up the night
Then it rained and both sides wondered who is wrong and who is right?
On the wire like a ragged old scarecrow, bloody hands and broken back
When they fire, see him pirouette solo, jump in time to the rat-a-tat

What a night, though it's one of seven
What a night for the dancing dead
What a night to be called to heaven
What a picture to fill your head

By the wall, in silhouette standing, through a flash of sudden light
Cigarette from his mouth, just hanging, paper square to his heart, pinned tight
Gather round reluctant marksmen, one of them to take his life
With a smile, he gives them pardon, leaves the dark and takes the light

What a night, though it's one of seven
What a night for the dancing dead
What a night to be called to heaven
What a picture to fill your head

They dispatch their precious cargo and knock him back right off his feet
And they pray may no one follow, better still to face the beast
When the field has become a garden and the wall has stood the test
Children play and the dogs run barking, who would think or who would guess?

What a night, though it's one of seven
What a night for the dancing dead
What a night to be called to heaven
What a picture to fill your head

10. 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

11. Two Hearts

Send my love on the telephone
No one answers, no one's home
Call after call, I just get nothing at all
Dirty feelings, they can't be right
Try again for tomorrow night
No luck at all has got me walking the floor

Good love – forsaken
Two hearts – one breaking
Good love – mistaken
Two hearts – one aching

Send my love on the telephone
No one answers, no one's home
Call after call, I just get nothing at all
Dirty feelings, they can't be right
Try again for tomorrow night
No luck at all has got me walking the floor

Good love – forsaken
Two hearts – one breaking
Good love – mistaken
Two hearts – one aching

12. 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

13. 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

14. 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

15. 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

16. The Last Dance

The last dance might be your last chance
Over your shoulder, you turn and you glance
They walk past, still no one has asked
Feeling much older, the evening has crashed

But don't surrender, don't you cry
Another lonely night, you've had enough
Another lonely night is one too much
Another lonely night, you might just give up

The last dance, you hide empty hands
No one comes near you, the noise of the band
You can't talk so you get up and walk
And all that you've been through, it's not like you thought

Don't surrender, don't you cry
Another lonely night, you've had enough
Another lonely night is one too much
Another lonely night, you might just give up
