The way of life that must change
In the court of kings I look around
My blood runs cold, I close my eyes
Out of my head a vision flows
I'll make the rules I need for my survival, for my survival
I pull the strings, you take the glory
I load the gun, you shoot me down
I'm on the edge, about to fall
Destructive power will make you lose your mind, lose your mind
Trapped inside my nightmare you are there
As I turn I feel your evil stare
We give our life, invest in time
To only fools who take control
I spend another cold day in hell
Against the odds, I fight for my survival, for my survival
Your useless life gets crushed into the ground
The time has come to turn it all around
Sweet Sugar (Bolder)
Over importance of money
I've no time for boring things

Is their sweet sugar, poison wine
I don't need these things to make me feel fine
Sweet sugar, poison wine

But there's one thing I don't need tonight
Is their sweet sugar, poison wine
I don't need these things to make me feel fine
Sweet sugar, poison wine

You can't fool me it's a waste of time
You're selling tears down the credit card line yeah
But giving up is not their frame of mine
They'll find a way to bring us in time Yeah I can meet you everywhere I go
And I can hear you on my radio
You keep on telling me it's alright
But there's one thing I don't need tonight
It's your sweet sugar, poison wine

Time of Revelation (Box/Lanzon)
Moving to a fantasy world
Won't you take a chance my brother
Follow me to a time of revelation
Can't you see that destiny will take a turn
And show there's no need to fight - 'cos you know it's right
And I finally see where I'm going
I finally know what I'm knowing
Now our journey's only just began
You won't need to ask forgiveness
What you find will be your inspiration
You don't have to pray for glory
All is equal on more pain you know it's true it's up to you
'Cos I finally see where I'm going
I finally know what I'm knowing
Now our journey's only just began
Over the bridge where you start to believe
Down at the edge of the rainbow
Dark is the night though it's in another time
Follow the light of your shadow
Right or wrong there is no reason
There will be no hidden destination
With the strength that you discover
You can show the way how it was meant to be for all to see
'Cos I finally see where I'm going
I finally know what I'm knowing
Now our journey's only just began
Over the bridge where you start to believe
Down at the edge of the rainbow
Dark is the night though it's in another time
Follow the light of your shadow
Mistress Of All Time (Lanzon)
Enlightened woman
She dances on the seven seas
Dances on the ocean
Sunlight on her golden hair
Shapes of pure emotion
Her voice is heard like crystal words across the sky
She moves just like an angel
She's the mistress of all time
Her sun pours down like liquid gold
To chase away the sorrows
Her clothes are like a million stars
Made of tears and rainbows
And all the while her senses smile into my life
She moves just like an angel
She's the mistress of all time
Just like the restless to a mission bell
I must run to her meet her everywhere
As her music fills the universe
She leaves the dancing visions
Of her image on the water
And precious stones upon the shore
From every distant corner
Like diamonds in the light they shine beyond the stars
She moves just like an angel
She's the mistress of all time
Just like the restless to a mission bell
I must run to her meet her everywhere
As her music fills the universe
She dances on the seven seas
Dances on the ocean
Sunlight on her golden hair
Shapes of pure emotion
Her voice is heard like crystal words across the sky
She moves just like an angel
She's the mistress of all time
She move me like an angel
A voice of pure emotion
Her tears are like a rainbow
Universal Wheels (Box/Lanzon)
Nature's retaliation
All the fields are smoke and flame
Fire in the sky
It's a state of emergency
Much more than meets the eye
Just hide away your tears
There are many more hidden fears
As the universal wheels go round n' round
Rivers of pollution
Taking life from living things
Running out of oxygen
There is no way to win
We ignore the signs of nature
Got to learn to live beside her
As the universal wheels go round n' round
Better take good care of all the things you say and do
Look out for the warning sign now it's up to you
There's a mighty eight point six
Waiting in the ground
When she opens up
This world will humble to the sound
There is only one real power
Creating life by the hour
See the universal wheels, see the universal wheels, see the
Universal wheels go round n' round
Fear of Falling (Bolder)
False trust
I've been standing here waiting for you
But I don't quite know what I'm gonna do
So I drag my heels and I scratch the dust
And I rub my hands so I can feel my blood
I see the rain clouds forming
The dream is disappearing
And I need it more than you
But you've got the power with you
You told me lies to protect the truth
But you won't admit what you're really gonna do
So you hold me to ransom every chance you can
And you tie me down till I'm a broken man
I see the future fading
The dream is disappearing
And I need it more than you
But you've got the power with you
Your words are out of touch
But they don't help me much
'Cos I fear the fear of falling
You seem to hear no warning
Your words are out of touch
This dream won't come to much
'Cos I fear the fear of falling
Why can't you hear me calling forever calling ooh yeah
You change the rules the colour of your skin
And then slam the door so I can reach in
I've tried so hard to be heard
So you think you know it all
But I'll steal the last word
I've watched the daylight fading
The dream is disappearing
And I need it more than you
But you've got the power with you
Your words are out of touch
But they don't help me much
'Cos I fear the fear of falling
You seem to hear no warning
Your words are out of touch
This dream won't come to much
'Cos I fear the fear of falling
Why can't you hear my warning
Your words are out of touch
This dream wont come to much
'Cos I fear the fear of falling
Don't you hear my warning
Your words are out of touch
This dream won't come to much
'Cos I fear the fear of falling
Can't you hear me calling
The dream is disappearing
'Cos you've got the power with you
So here we are this dream has gone too far
So here we are this dream has gone too far
Spirit of Freedom (Box/Lanzon)
Realizing the new world
I know instinctively when something is right
With no one there to save me you came into my life
The words you whispered still echo in my mind
Forget about tomorrow forget about time
So good to be alive and touch the spirit of freedom - in your soul
So good to breathe the air and feel that life is worth living
There's no time to waste in this life there's no time at all
So good to see the truth and touch the spirit of freedom
I never thought that I could ever feel this way
To see the warmest sunlight on a cold and rainy day
Dawn wakes the silence and I know that I can't wait
To hear the words I wanna say again and again
So good to be alive and touch the spirit of freedom in your soul
So good to breathe the air and feel that life is worth living
There's no time to waste in this life there's no time at all
There's no time to waste in this life there's no time at all
So good to be alive and touch the spirit of freedom in your soul
So good to breathe the air and feel that life is worth living
There's no time to waste in this life there's no time at all
So good to see the truth and touch the spirit of freedom in your soul
Logical Progression (Box/Lanzon)
New perceptions
You say her love has gone forever
And something has gone from your soul - it's left you so cold
Though you wish you had the answer
The question is always untold - always on hold
What's in the mirror
What do you see
It's a logical progression
When you think that you lost all that time - it's all in your mind
What's in the mirror
What do you see
Lay down now and close your eyes
It's only just begun
'Cause mind and body flow in perpetual motion
Set free all your memories
They're tearing you apart
'Cause you know that love is the only direction
The reputation that you live by
Says something about what's inside - nowhere to hide
There is no amount of heartache
That could ever wash over this burning - forever learning
Look in the mirror - will you do it all again
Lay down now and close your eyes
It's only just begun
'Cause mind and body flow in perpetual motion
Set free all your memories
They're tearing you apart
'Cause you know that love is the only direction
You got time on your side
You know you'll find the truth within you
You got time on your side
As the seconds tick away love is waiting for you
You got time on your side
You say her love has gone forever
And the image has left you so cold - still in your soul
There's no way your gonna turn back
You'll never wash over this burning - forever learning
Look in the mirror - will you do it all again
Lay down now and close your eyes
It's only just begun
'Cause mind and body flow in perpetual motion
Set free all your memories
They're tearing you apart
'Cause you know that love is the only direction
You got time on your side
As the seconds tick away love is waiting for you
Love in Silence (Box/Lanzon)
Know yourself
This is our world our future
These are our times
I believe we have to see
In silence there's no mystery
The world is so busy talking
What do they know
they're missing out on being alive
Words are turning into lies
We're looking for a love to guide us
What do we know
The truth is never to be told
It's waiting there inside your soul
The innocent join in fighting
So easily
In a world of pain and war
who knows what they're fighting for
Many rivers running out to sea
One heart with a cry for love
Many dreamers in a moonlit sky
One sigh and they're gone
Love is the one direction
That leads to truth
Knowing in your heart what's right
You'll walk upon the sea of light
There's something in love and silence
That you can find
Know yourself and all around
Listen to the only sound
Many rivers running out to sea
One heart with a cry for love
Many dreamers in a moonlit sky
One sigh and they're gone
Many rivers running out to sea
One heart with a cry for love
Many dreamers in a moonlit sky - one sigh and they're gone
Words In The Distance (Box/Lanzon)
Love awareness
Dancing with danger and tears in my eyes
Love ain't no stranger so many goodbyes
Words in the distance are calling me
Just when I thought I could make a new start
Here comes another fire burning in my heart
Words in the distance are calling me
And to get to heaven you gotta go through hell
I cut my heart on the wishing well
You know that I'm crazy
I'm just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
You know that I'm crazy
Just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
My senses burning from the heat of your skin
Deeper than deep I feel you movin' in oh oh
Words in the distance are calling me
And to get to heaven you gotta go through hell
I cut my heart on the wishing well
You know that I'm crazy
I'm just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
You know that I'm crazy
Just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
I hold this moment of magic
I hold it in my hand
A single moment of heaven
Don't you know that I'm crazy
I'm just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
You know that I'm crazy
Just a fool
To say I love I love I love you yeah
You know that I'm crazy
I'm just a fool
To say I love I love I love you
Don't you know that I love you baby
Can't you feel it in my heart yeah
And I don't know what to say no
Well I've got a fire in my soul
I don't know which way to go
And I don't know what to do
Fires of Hell (Your Only Son) (Bolder)
The Futility Of War
Oh I was born your only son
And I will think of you before this day is done
The fires of hell surround me now
So I must fight for freedom
Against their raging guns
In all my life I never said how much I love you
In all this time I never really said I cared
This war is wrong and so I write these words
Before I give my life to the Somme
In all my life I never said how much I love you
In all this time I never really knew you
The fires of hell surround me oh oh
The guns of hell will take my breath away
From my life this day
The fires of hell surround me oh oh
The words I say must never disappear
Keep them locked inside your heart
I can hear the piper's song
And it will play for me before this day is done
So I will hold my head up high
If I must give my life to stop their raging guns
In all my life I never said how much I love you
In all this time I never really knew you
The fires of hell surround me oh oh
The guns of hell will take my breath away
From my life this day
The fires of hell surround me oh oh
The words I say must never disappear
Keep them locked inside your heart
Oh I was born your only son
And I thank God for that and that that
Will be done
Dream On (Bolder)
Being, in love
Been traveling this road for so long
My eyes are tired but I carry on
The sun lays down its golden threads
I need a place to rest my head
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you
It's hard to be out here on my own
So far away so far from home
I need to touch and feel your skin
To live this dream in sleep again
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you
So dream on dream on freedom comes with
Timeless sleep
Dream on dream on
In the arms of night your silent shadow
Gently speaks
Dream on dream on
This hotel room's a lonely place
It's a one night cell I must escape
So I drink away my loneliness
So I can sleep and dream again
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you
So dream on dream on freedom comes with
Timeless sleep
Dream on dream on
In the arms of night your silent shadow
Gently speaks
Dream on dream on
And as I fall into the darkness of the night
You come to rescue me, to shield me
In your light
I feel your touch, the softness of your skin
You hold me close before the day breaks in
This dream's so true my heart it beats, it beats
It beats for you, for you
Although I am far from home now
My soul's with you
So dream on dream on freedom comes with
Timeless sleep
Dream on dream on
In the arms of night your silent shadow
Gently speaks
So dream on dream on
Dream on dream on
So dream on dream on
Dream on
Holy Roller (Box/Kerslake/Bolder/Shaw/Lanzon)
I was born an only boy
Away from palm of water
Never heard of right or wrong
I was given words to use
But I knew I was different
They wanted me to play along
How much fear can I keep
Locked away inside me
Will all these words
Disguise my pain
When all your scriptures fell
And leave us in the open
I will survive and try again
Here comes the holy roller
Here comes the book of life
Don’t come knockin' round here
'Cause you ain’t no friend of mine
Here comes the ghost of holy
He comes to twist your mind
Don't come knockin’ round here
'Cause you ain’t no friend
Ain't no friend of mine
What is the price that you've put
On your own salvation
Count the costs for savin' souls
Where is the sense in all this
Door-to-door damantion
When you’re just left out in the cold
Still Calls His Name (Box/Kerslake/Bolder/Shaw/Lanzon)
Summer moonlight shines
On a midnight train
Lost in emotion she cries
To the wind and the rain
In silence she feels the breeze
No mercy tonight
The passion and promise has made
Life broken inside
She stills calls his name
She can’t get home
She stills calls his name
Broken hearted
Another town rolls by
As a distant rose
And wonderin’ what she will find
When she gets home
You, there’s a part in flame
But a careless heart
Dreams are an open game
Will tear you apart
She stills calls his name
She’s out of control
She stills calls his name
Broken hearted
One love comes of the rest
A bed of roses was a bed of nails
Don’t take the blame forever
Just give it time
Sail The Rivers (Bolder)
Would you give me one more chance
If I agree to your demands
Or will you turn the knife
Keep me in pain till I can’t take no more
Would you take the breath of my life
Or are you lookin’ for something
I never do right
I should be the one to let go
I could free your body and soul
So here we stand like actors in a play
On an empty stage not knowin’ what to say
I tried so hard to get through to you
‘Cos don’t you know I still need you
Oh, I need you
If I ask for one more night
Would you let me bathe in your light
Would you let me cover you up
And wrap myself around you
So you feel my love
Is this just the heat of the day
Or am I really feelin’ this way
I see your silent tears before the storm
I feel the breeze from a love that’s gone
You’ve always walked on the open sand
You’d risk it all so I’d reach out my hand
I tried so hard to hold on to you
‘Cos don’t you know I still need you
Sail The Rivers and drift away
Find yourself on another day
Don’t reach out, you have to hold me in bay
‘Cos I will always follow you
Take a knife and cut me down
Spill my blood, watch it fall to the ground
There’s no way to turn me around
‘Cos I will always follow you, be a part of you
If I was to offer my life
I’d give it up just to bathe in your light
And you could have it, you could have it all
My heart, my body, my soul
Is this just the heat of the day
Or am I really feelin’ this way
I wipe away the tears before the storm
I feel the breeze from a love that’s gone
So here we stand, nothing left to say
I give it all but you turn me away
I tried so hard to get through to you
Sail The Rivers and drift away
Find yourself on another day
Sail The Rivers and drift away
‘Cos I will always follow you
I will always be a part of you
Sail The Rivers and drift away
Sail The Rivers and drift away
Sail The Rivers ...
