[Chorus]
Hey hey yeah we all know
You think you’re God in the morning sun
Mr. Judge above all rule
Look in the mirror see behind you fool
Look in the mirror see behind you fool
Watch us squirm beneath your thumb
Watch you grow when you feel our shame
[Chorus]
Think you’re smart when you sing your tune but I tell ya
In the ground your words they won’t be much use
[Chorus]
Lazy man we see through your smile
Lazy man don’t you know, you make people cry
[Chorus]
What you do can you forgive
You may preach but do you live
[Chorus] * 2
Look in the mirror yeah we’re watching you

Why
04:38
|

|
I had a dream the other night
St. Peter was standing by my side
He said you’ve been thinking about me
You’re thinking a lot lately
This is what I’m gonna do for you
Gonna read your mind
There’s something’s troubling you
You wanna know why you’re here
You wanna know why you’re here
I went to confession
I told my sins
The priest just laughed at me
Said you got it all wrong, you don’t know a thing
Ten hail Mary’s, an our Father too
This decade of penance I’ll double for you
If you ask me why you’re here
If you ask me why you’re here
So I asked my butcher
What it’s like to die
She put her saw down
Looked me in the eye
Said I am an executioner
Obligated to my creed
I have taken an oath
Never to reveal
Don’t ask me why you’re here
Don’t ask me why you’re here
Lost on an unknown highway
He cannot see a soul
Can anybody help him?
Does anybody know?
Why
Why
I heard somewhere in Jersualem
A secret hides in a well
A prophet asked me where to find it
But I couldn’t tell
I offered him some money
Will this do instead?
One hand touched my temple
The other moved with stealth
And with feigned wisdom he said
God knows why you’re here
God knows why you’re here
Why … does anybody know?
Why

Angels Of The Winds
04:39
|
|||
|
There’s an orange moon, be afraid
Here ride the horses, on this judgement day
They say they’re black, they say they’re white
Fear and hunger will rule this judgement night
[Pre-Chorus]
They say there’ll be nowhere to hide
They say that no one will be saved
There’s an orange moon, be afraid
Here ride the horses, on this judgement day
They say they’re red, they say they’re light
War and conquest on this judgement night
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
When angels of the winds come calling
‘Cause angels of the wind don’t forgive
When angels of the wind come calling
Angels of the wind won’t let you live
[Instrumental]
[Pre-Chorus]
[Chorus]
There’s an orange moon, be afraid
Here ride the horses, on this judgement day
The sins of time will shine so bright
The sky will burn on this judgement night
[Pre-Chorus]

Little Bear
03:22
|

Hey little bear, Polaris friend
Can you tell me how you see things from up there
Way up there
Is it as bright as it seems to be
Have you ever wondered what life could be
If you were free
Is it as bright as it seems to be
So far away from here
Through the dark the light will be
Linger, hope, eternally
Hey huntsman in the Northern plane
When were you born, is it true that you’ve come of age
So proud and brave
Have you taken an oath to protect the skies?
From darkest hours until the morning sunrise
In your domain
Have you taken an oath to protect the skies?
Acquarius swims in those eyes
Blackened steel is your disguise
Time it drifts, the ages cry
Hey Nova of the farthest flame
Your time has come will they see you back here someday?
A fiery blaze
How will they know if you’ve been reborn?
What matter then, will it be the same light of dawn?
Those golden days
How will they know if you’ve been reborn?
Celestial or earthly form
True that you were never gone
So many forms but always one

Blood On The Walls
04:10
|
|||
|
You were born in a thunderstorm
Lightning temper, no one saw
How we met I can’t recall
A cursed moment that will always haunt
Me for the rest of my days
Undying love became dying hate
A potent force you ruled like a queen from her throne
Who would have known … that there’d be
[Chorus]
Blood on the walls
At your final curtain call
Good night my love
We got wed in a hurricane
Perhaps a sign of things to come
The honeymoon was a calm affair
A perfect time without a care
Until I saw beneath your veil
So many faces
Like Sycorax you conjured up your games in this play
The signs were there … that there’d be
[Chorus]
Good night my sweet love
A stormy night for a stormy end
Wasn’t planned, just unfolded
A sudden lunge at an angry word
Brought no joy, if truth be told
I was sorry to see you go
Without a breath, where nothing living grows
I closed my eyes hoping that the tears would wash my soul
My soul … of your
[Chorus]
Good night my sweet love
[Instrumental]
So I lie here on my own
Stare at the walls of this new stately home
I’ll still be here when I’m very old
What once was warm is so cold
[Chorus]
Good night my sweet love
Blood on the walls
At your final curtain call
Good night my love

Innocent Child
03:24
|
|||
|
Little yellow duck
All alone …on a windowsill
Looking at the world through plastic eyes
Sees through your disguise
What’s it gonna be when you come to tell
Will it be the truth? Or more of your lies?
Spoken like an innocent child
Spoken like an innocent child
A child who promised me her faith
Who vowed until her dying day … I would never be
Betrayed … Betrayed
What’s it gonna be when you come to tell
Will it be the truth? Or more of your lies?
Spoken like an innocent child
Spoken like an innocent child
A child in disgrace … don’t turn your face away
Feel the burning of your shame … licked by furtive
Flames … Flames
But I still want you to stay
I still want you to stay
Please don’t go away
Promise me you’ll stay
Yeah I’m begging you to stay
Hide & seek, kitty’s in the well
Truth or dare? I won’t tell
You can be an innocent child
We’ll say you’re an innocent child
A child I could never really blame
Your eyes they flicker in a pale light of truth that won’t be
Tamed … Tamed
Your secret is safe (your secret is safe)
I don’t mind if we share
I can make
My eyes so blind … to your disguise
I’ll just see an innocent child
Always be my innocent child
Little yellow duck
All alone ... on a windowsill

The World Is Waiting
03:22
|
|||
|
I’ve seen a future where I’m by your side
So what you waiting for, come on for the ride
Life is like a river raging on through the night
I can help you make it to the other side
I’ve seen water shine its silver light
When darkness rains, that light will be your guide
When bridges crumble and hope shows no sign
Let me help you make it to the other side
[Chorus]
The world is waiting for you to see
Your journey’s starting, go now be free
Take my hand and I will help you if I can
Take my hand and I will be there if you need me
If you don’t understand
I’ve seen a mirror of the past through younger eyes
Wasn’t easy trying to swim against the tide
Somewhere in the darkness, I heard a guiding voice
Reach out, I’m gonna help you to the other side
[Chorus] * 2

Time To Go
02:48
|

|
Everybody knows when it’s time to go
But we all want one for the road
We all want one for the road
Come find me, I will wait for you
I’m looking for someone, somebody new
Everybody knows when it’s time to go
But we all want one for the road
We all want one for the road
Untie me from this blinkered view
I’m living a lie, afraid of the truth
Everybody knows when it’s time to go
But we all want one for the road
We all want one for the road
Lovers come and lovers go
Oh it’s hard when love turns cold
Lovers come and lovers go
Oh it’s hard when love turns cold
Lovers come and lovers go
But it’s hard when you know that your love is cold
It’s hard when you know that your love is cold
[Instrumental]
Everybody knows when it’s time to go
But we all want one for the road
We all want one for the road
Everybody knows when it’s time to go
But we all want one for the road
We all want one for the road
We all want one for the road

A World Away
05:05
|
|||
|
Her father knew statesmen, he travelled the world
Smoked many Cubans, made so many friends
Hollywood bound, she circled with ease
Smiled for the cameras, knew when to please
The mothers all agreed that she’d be a star
Like Audrey Hepburn, she’d go very far
Schooldays dreaming of a big movie part
Friendly connections gave her a start
Spring forward California, palm trees and sea
Red carpets, champagne parties and limousines
She approaches the podium with her acceptance speech
Plastic fraternity, crying plastic tears
He woke up on the other side
Waiting for justice, nobody cried
Born to a father he never could find
A mother, her mission to keep him from crime
A World Away
A World Away
Working for pennies, it’s hard to survive
Where angels and mules do what they like
His promise he'll keep while she's still alive
Then justice will fall across the divide
A World Away
A World Away
A million dollars, her looks and her style
White powder cocktails spill all through the night
Boulevard sunrise, the morning arrives
Beautiful people, beautiful lives
Beautiful people, beautiful lives

Salvation Call
03:45
|
|||
|
Somewhere far in another world
Maybe we’ll meet and you will show
The kind of love that came before
This time got old
Yeah you hear me cry … for the way you’ve grown
Those beautiful eyes … where have they gone
They’ve sailed into a burning sun
Searching for
[Chorus]
Your salvation call
Your salvation call
(Searching for)
Salvation call
(Your call)
Somewhere lost in a distant time
I hear your voice, I see that smile
Did I know then that you’d have to rise … to
[Chorus]
Drifting out into the night
I don’t know where, I don’t know why
But open skies, I hope you’ll find
Open skies, I hope you’ll find
[Chorus]
[Oohs]
Ooooooh
Ooooooh
[Chorus]
