2. Vigilante

Racing in the shadows, the pounding of the feet
While the old men get to praying and the children try to sleep
Just another promise, they don't really care
'Cause the movement on the border's got the people running scared

Standing on the corner, never got things done
If you leave your front door open, you'll be the foolish one
No misunderstanding, no honour among thieves
It's a sorry situation, a gun is all you need

Go call the vigilante
He'll turn this place upside down
Go call the vigilante
He don't get kicked around

Hold on, there's a new way a-coming
Looks like he's arriving tonight
There's no more hiding or running
There's no more walking on ice

Standing on the corner, never got things done

Go call the vigilante

Go call the vigilante
He don't get kicked around

Vigilante – vigilante man
Vigilante – call the vigilante man

3. Days Of No Trust

Pray to they future, look to the past
Face the accuser, freeze in our tracks
When so many children have fallen from grace
The doors should be open, no scorn or disgrace

Keys have been stolen, treasure is lost
Lesson is golden, hearts have been crossed
So here's to the heroes, come one and come all
Without them, well who knows? Who knows at all?

In these days of no trust – evermore hostility
We're all living under the same old sky
'Cause we're all living, we're telling the same old lie
In these days, in these days, in these days of no trust

And music recorded might influence dreams
But headlines are courted by stretch limousines
Pictures of plenty, stuck to the walls
For heads that are empty, brains on the floor
Can't take any more

Someone is shouting revolution is here
But he'll climb any mountain for his selfish career
The truth's not a curtain, to be drawn back and forth
It's a flame that keep burning, everlasting torch

In these days of no trust – evermore hostility
We're all living under the same old sky
'Cause we're all living, we're telling the same old lie
In these days, in these days, in these days of no trust

4. Mama

I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different, I know
You've got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow
Mama let your garden grow

I've seen plenty of trouble
Never been any different, I know
You've got to run on the double
Keep your eye on the chariot low
Mama let your garden grow

Can't fall down, never give in
A lucky star could be following you
You've got to show a little giving
Every day when it's possible to
Mama make my grey sky blue

Just keep those wheels turning
And keep your love burning
If I'm running wild, follow me
Maybe we're still learning
Sometimes we're still hurting
Just like a child comfort me

We grew up by the mountain
Dirty marks in the palm of our hands
We got the eye for accounting
We got the pain of a family man
Mama help us all you can

Just keep those wheels turning
And keep your love burning
If I'm running wild, follow me
Maybe we're still learning
Sometimes we're still hurting
Just like a child comfort me

5. Need A Lot Of Love

A soldier cut loose in saigon
He used to be a farmer just like anyone
A soldier cut loose in saigon
Even to his father, he's a violent son
Someone built a wall in berlin
Not to keep them out but to keep them in
Someone built a wall in berlin
A permanent reminder of what's happening

We need a lot of love
Got to take a lot of pain
You can watch the river flood
But get washed away the same
Oh, we know that things don't last
So we use the guiding tracks
Through the deadly ring of flame

Smoking in a room in lebanon
The hotel's serving but the hospital's gone
Choking in a room in lebanon
Many people hurting, still the telephone's on
Standing on a street in belfast
A city of division, widow in black
Standing on a street in belfast
The crunching of the feet on the broken glass

We need a lot of love
Got to take a lot of pain
You can watch the river flood
But get washed away the same
Oh, we know that things don't last
So we use the guiding tracks
Through the deadly ring of flame

6. Pray For The Day

Pray for the day, this city's wall
Concrete for chains, will crumble and fall, pray for the day
On top of the world, nothing breaks in
Cross after cross, they have to dig in, where to begin

Remember at the border
Where the blood ran like water
Murdered for escaping
While the world looked on shaking

On top of the world, nothing breaks in
Cross after cross, they have to dig in, where to begin
And they crowned you with pain and emptied your head
Your rescuers came and left you for dead, now it has to be said

Remember at the border
Where the blood ran like water
Murdered for escaping
While the world looked on shaking

And all across that land...
Keys of freedom jammed...

Remember at the border
Where the blood ran like water
Murdered for escaping
While the world looked on shaking

Pray for the day, this city's wall
Concrete for chains, will crumble and fall
Pray for the day

7. 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

8. Reckless Man

No promises to keep
Won't lose an hours sleep
Talks fast but makes no sense
The mask of innocence

Turns on the golden light
Perception clear and bright
He don't need no crystal ball
He don't need no one at all

He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands

He thinks he wrote the book
Just take a second look
He reads it everyday
Then tells it anyway

He's a reckless man
He won't crack as a matter of fact
He's a political man
He's got blood on his hands

9. 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

10. 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

11. 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

12. Rockin' Chair

You want love – you get hate
You push and shove, you know you just can't wait
You've had your fun, you don't fool no one
You build it up – to tear it down
You're running out of luck, I won't get kicked around
I could drive all night till you're out of sight

Hide and seek – turning on the heat
Running like a cadillac (like a cadillac)
I'm so sick and tired – you're a damn dirty liar
When I run, I said I ain't coming back

Oh, you better beware
Keep on rocking this house, baby, I don't care
Breaking out this jailhouse, going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair

When you came – you play rough
Now I know your game and you ain't tough enough
Don't know what you've done 'cause you ain't begun
You fool with me – you're going to lose
You've got to understand that you don't get to choose
When night comes around I can't be found

Hide and seek – turning on the heat
Running like a cadillac (like a cadillac)
I'm so sick and tired – you're a damn dirty liar
When I run, I said I ain't coming back

Oh, you better beware
Keep on rocking this house, baby, I don't care
Breaking out this jailhouse, going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair

Red sky burning – won't be no returning – so long
Fire up the motor – don't you get no closer – I'm gone

Oh, you better beware
Keep on rocking this house, baby, I don't care
Breaking out this jailhouse, going nowhere
I ain't ready for no rockin' chair

I don't need no rockin' chair
I don't want no rockin' chair
I don't need no rockin' chair
I don't want no rockin' chair

13. 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

14. 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

15. When The World Comes Down

Hiding somewhere out of sight, you all right
Feeling, pulled from left to right, you all right
You're been alone again tonight, no one has called
If they had known, I think they might, 'cause you've got it all

There are times it's hard to swallow
When the world comes down on you
May it shine on you tomorrow
And your dreams, they all come true

I hear you crying to yourself, that's not right
And I know you, you need somebody's help for tonight
But you sit alone, turn off your light, feeling so small
You should have known how well you might, you've got it all

There are times it's hard to swallow
When the world comes down on you
May it shine on you tomorrow
And your dreams, they all come true
