  1. Between Two Worlds (Box/Lanzon)
    Dedicated to David Byron and Gary Thain
    You're not the only one
    Amongst the saints and sinners
    There are those that we can see
    And those no longer with us
    To take that walk again
    With someone you were close to
    On stage in the other world tonight
    
    And there are many
    Who will say it's speculation
    We need to focus on
    The sleeping generation
    The healing vision
    That extends beyond the pain
    Will take you there and back again
    
    I can remember
    You were no stranger
    As you came to me
    Dreamers walking
    And in that moment
    Between two worlds
    I saw the furthest star
    Exploding all around you
    
    And through the journey
    You spoke in silence
    And you made it clear
    Walk in peace now
    Then you touched me
    Revealing all upon your way
    Inside the burning fountain of time       
    Of time ...
    
    A time so real as the one
    We share each day
    The same dimension
    Just a heartbeat away
    In every part of you
    There's so much exploration
    Out on the edge of space and time

  2. I Hear Voices (Bolder)
    I feel the pressure
    Pushing down on me
    Can't face the world
    Can't change the things I see
    I got my hands in my pockets
    Staring at the walls
    Can nobody help me
    To escape from it all
    
    I hear voices in my head
    They taunt me
    Can't lock them out
    Inside my thoughts
    They breathe in me
    I got my hands in my pockets
    Screaming at the walls
    Can nobody help me
    To escape from it all
    
    I've got to run to be free
    Break the chains round my heart
    Take away the pain and the joy
    Release the man from the boy
    Run to be free, run from the heart
    Life will take you where it goes
    
    You can offer me salvation
    Feed me when I call
    Don't talk to me of sanity
    When I'm not quite here at all
    
    I've touched the sun
    I felt its warmth in me
    So you will never take away my dignity
    Cause I've got my hands in my pockets
    Fighting for my cause
    Can nobody help me
    To escape from it all
    
    Run to be free
    Break the chains round my heart
    Life will take you where it goes
    Run to be free
    Run from the heart

  3. Perfect Little Heart (Box/Lanzon)
    When I think about it
    Does anybody win
    Taking for yourself and giving nothing
    Now that we're apart
    I see it wasn't really love
    I can ride down the road
    And let my soul run free
    
    You may think it over
    But no matter what you say
    You're talking to yourself
    And getting nowhere
    There ain't no second chances
    No reason to pretend
    I'm gonna ride down the road
    And let my soul run free
    
    Now that we've grown apart
    It seems so very sad
    Why did it turn so bad and I remember
    You said that all good things
    Must surely end
    Never mind all the hearts
    That lie broken
    
    I know I'll never make
    The same mistake again
    I doesn' matter what you say
    
    Now I think about it
    We all need a little time
    'Cause if we ain't got love
    We ain't got nothing
    The doors are opened wide
    On my one and only life
    Gonna ride down the road
    And let my soul run free
    
    I know I'll never make
    The same mistake again
    But I will always be your friend
    
    Now that we've grown apart
    It seems so very sad
    Why did it turn so bad and I remember
    And I remember
    
    Let my soul run free
    Let my soul run free
    Did I break your perfect little heart

  4. Heartless Land (Box/Lanzon/Matt Lanzon)
    I know the world is full of light
    So why can't things just work out right
    Oh take me, take me
    From this heartless land
    It used to be so full of love
    But now it's only push and shove
    Oh take me, take me
    From this heartless land
    
    Just a breath of new life
    Into an empty sky
    From deep inside, where love must lie
    
    No need to play the perfect fool
    Stand up for love, break the rule
    Oh come with me
    You know that you can
    I see the sky, I see the ground
    What's in between must now be found
    There is no life
    Inside this heartless land
    
    Just a breath of new life
    Into an empty sky
    Somewhere in your soul
    Where love must lie
    
    And I say ... come to the light
    Everyday is getting closer
    To your sweet surrender
    Out of the cold
    'Cause I found a way
    That we can fly forever
    With direction and peace of mind
    The river will flow
    
    Come to the light, my love
    'Cause I need you here
    I need you here tonight
    
    The chains of love they run so deep
    But the hand that writes the law is weak
    Oh take me, take me
    From this heartless land
    'Cause it's the place the broken go
    The place that we don't want to know
    There is no love
    Inside this heartless land

  5. Only The Young (Bolder)
    I haven't listened to a word you've said
    I've been wandering inside my head
    Don't care what you think of me
    You only see what you want to see
    So here I am in my paradise
    In my heaven everything is alright
    
    Only the young stay young I said
    Speaks the kid inside my head
    Only the young stay young inside
    Only the young - only the young
    Only the young - only the young
    
    I've been around for a long time
    Losing my way but not my mind
    So I drink and play you along
    But who cares when the fire burns on
    So I'm out here in my paradise
    It's my heaven and it feels so right
    
    Only the young stay young I said
    Speaks the kid inside my head
    Only the young stay young inside
    Only the young stay young I said
    Speaks the kid inside my head
    Only the young stay young at heart
    Only the young - only the young
    Only the young - only the young
    
    Live your life - in this time
    We've only today - drink life's wine
    Don't be fooled
    Don't believe what they say
    Don't believe what they say
    
    I haven't listened to a word you've said
    Say what you like
    You're not in my head
    Time goes with each breath we take
    It rules the world the day we awake
    So here I sit here in my paradise
    Don't give a damn everything is alright

  6. In The Moment (Box/Lanzon)
    Here we are
    Once more in a world full of fantasy
    Dream again
    You need to believe in a future
    That's bright as the sun
    Shining there for you
    Shining there for me
    I am the mountain high, I am the sea
    
    In the moment you take possession
    It'll all disappear and there's the lesson
    And the minute you think it's over
    Say the word and your dream
    Is coming back
    
    All the way
    I followed the road that was real to me
    And suddenly
    You take it for granted
    And things don't turn out
    Like you planned
    When you think you've found
    What is good and true
    Through the open door
    It can really turn on you
    
    So here we are
    We look for the light in so many eyes
    And in our life
    When hope starts to fade
    There's a strength that
    We give to each other
    Walking in the sky over everyone
    Head above the coulds
    As we're touching the sun

  7. Question (Box/Lanzon)
    There's a lie that runs
    Across the human race
    There's a truth that draws
    A tear upon your face
    A child is crying and it echoes
    All over the world
    
    If we try to find some
    Deep communication
    Bring an end to war
    And start a new creation
    From the truth inside
    It's waiting, it's waiting
    
    Suddenly then
    The clearest voice will call
    Feeling the air
    You have no choice at all
    
    Can I ask the question to you
    Do you know who you are
    Do you know what we're doing here
    Try to see the way from within
    'Cause it isn't outside
    Let your honesty see it clear
    Why does anger fit our hearts
    With missconception
    Turn us inside out in every direction
    From the truth inside
    That's waiting, it's waiting
    
    Follow the voice
    That lives inside your heart
    Never the choice
    That tears your world apart
    
    Take a walk and be
    A wave upon the ocean 
    Touch the sky and
    Feel our spirit in motion
    This is the love inside that's waiting
    Just waiting
    
    Suddenly everything is there to see
    You can be everything you want to be
    
    Are you ready to go my love
    Are you ready to be my love
    Are you ready to die for love

  8. Change (Box/Lanzon)
    Once there was a man of power
    Had no care for human life
    Then one day he saw his living lie
    Growing all around him
    The wheel of change had taken over
    Found a love he never knew
    Now he teaches children what is true
    Gather all around him
    
    What made him choose to turn away
    What makes us change our mind
    The will to see turns you around
    There is no explanation why
    There is no rhyme or reason
    Just feel the love and you're alive
    
    Running around in your confusion
    From the cradle to the grave
    Ain't got time to see the world go by
    Where are you going
    Always moving round in circles
    Talking words that never end
    Standing in the grip of madness
    Why oh why
    What are you saying
    
    How can we choose to run away
    How do we change our mind
    See the perception turn around
    There is no explanation why
    There is no rhyme or reason
    Just feel the love and you're alive
    
    Realise this understanding
    Move before it gets too late
    Take this chance
    Or life will pass you by
    This is the only way
    We must pull ourselves together
    There's so much we must explain
    Got to teach the children what is true
    There is no other way
    
    Why did we choose to turn away
    Why did we change our mind
    The will to see turns you around
    There is no explanation why
    There is no rhyme or reason
    Just feel the love and you're alive
    
    The incredible gift of life
    Where the fire within burns bright
    Every moment we live is true
    And the spirit is all in you

  9. Shelter From The Rain (Bolder)
    When our hearts were young
    We put our hands into the flames
    Felt the heat from our emotions
    We had fire in our veins
    All those night we'd spend
    Alone in your room
    Though my silent thoughts
    I still remember
    
    We would use the power of love
    Free our souls in endless love
    We would sacrifice
    Our hopes and dreams
    Because without love
    Our world would surely die
    
    When our hearts were young
    We never thought that
    Life would change
    Now the seasons go on
    Oh why do we shelter from the rain
    And all those nights we'd spend
    Alone in your room
    Through my silent thoughts
    I still remember
    
    When our hearts were young
    We had fire in our veins
    And each time we touched
    We'd melt in the flames
    When our hearts were young
    We knew pleasure, we knew plain
    But each time we kissed
    We'd burn in the flames
    Feel the fire in our veins

  10. Everything In Life (Box/Lanzon/Bolder/Kerslake)
    It doesn't matter what you say
    The cards are in your favour
    We don't need no magic ride
    To take you far away
    Just give it a silent thought
    And you will find the power
    
    'Cause everything in life
    Will tell you something
    Yeah everything in life can set you free
    
    Can you remember a distant dream
    That holds your real attention
    You don't a preacher's word
    To know what's going on
    The secret is all aboard
    The wings of your perception
    
    Stand up and fight your troubled mind
    Wait no longer
    See the power in your life
    
    Disbelievers come on strong
    Lost in self importance
    They don't know an average man
    Can see this mystery
    Jump into the twilight world
    And gather your awareness

  11. Across The Miles (Peterick/Sullivan)
    When I'm all alone on a distant path
    And my ticket home
    Has been torn in half
    Oh, I can hear your voice girl
    I can feel your touch
    Across the miles tonight
    
    On the road again will it always be
    That the dream has changed
    On its way to reality
    Oh but the thought of you
    Strange how it pulls me through
    Across the miles tonight
    
    And I am sending you this message
    Through the wires tonight
    Just close your eyes and hold on tight
    And here I am concentrating girl
    With all my might
    Now the sound of your laughter
    Trails off through the midnight sky
    
    As the miles go by cities come and go
    When you close your eyes
    And listen to the radio
    Girl can you hear my song
    The signal is clear and strong
    Across the miles tonight
    
    And I am sending you this message
    Through the wires tonight
    Just close your eyes and hold on tight
    And here I am concentrating girl
    With all my might
    Now the sound of your laughter
    Trails off across the miles

  12. Feels Like (Box/Lanzon)
    I can feel your sadness
    From what I said to you
    I'm drinking my forgiveness
    So restless and confused
    I don't know what I see
    But it looks a lot like love
    Showing me something
    Deeper then deep in my soul
    
    And it makes me feel like
    I'm at the point of no return - feels like
    I'm at the point
    It makes me feel like
    I'm at the point of no return - feels like
    I'm at the point
    
    I was drifting through the days
    With nowhere else to turn
    I finally discovered
    How much I have to learn
    I shouldn't be afraid
    For you to bring my love
    Taking me somewhere
    Deeper than deep in my soul
    
    This time my heart will lead the way
    To win the game you'got to play
    
    You love me like a lover
    I see it in your face
    No need to think it over
    No need to run the race
    I don't know if you planned it
    But you're driving me insane
    Telling me something
    Over and over again

  13. The Golden Palace (Box/Lanzon)
    Locked behind the door
    Taken by force
    But I'm not guilty of the crime
    How can this be real
    What is aganst the law
    To say what's on your mind
    Then I see your face
    So warm as it comforts me
    And tells me I am not alone
    Pray for me tonight
    Give me the strength of love
    To help me cross the virgin snow
    
    I will run till daybreak
    My tears will fade away
    They'll never take me again
    No I'm never going back
    'Cause when I get to the golden palace
    Everything will surely be so clear
    
    Can we give ourselves
    Like a mother to her child
    
    They took a part of me
    Whenever I think of it
    I shiver to the bone
    The scar is on my heart
    When will the crimes of
    Inhumanity be known
    I am only one voice
    I will not fade away
    So many are silent
    But I will never look back
    'Cause when I get to the golden palace
    Everything will surely disappear
    
    The snow has gone at last
    I'm out of the shadows and into the sun
    And then I see you smile
    Angel of mercy
    The fight has jus begun
    I can hear them calling
    Across the frozen land
    The world will hear us
    You know it's never too late
    'Cause when we get
    To the golden palace
    The memory will surely be so clear

  14. Sweet Pretender (Bolder)
    I didn't see you standing there
    You took me by surprise
    In your long silk dress
    And those deep brown eyes
    I was captured by your smile
    But when fate put out its hand
    You're walking to your love
    How was I to resist
    The passion and the kiss
    We raised the future alone
    
    She stole my body and soul
    With a heart next to mine
    I didn't wanna face the day
    But I have no choice when we kiss
    
    She said
    Goodnight my sweet pretender
    Tonight we live forever
    One heart, one soul
    On the edge of the world
    Goodnight my sweet pretender
    Feels like we died together
    In each others arms
    On the edge of the world
    
    When she touched me so warm
    And so was her body
    A kiss she gave to me
    The name she said to pain and pleasure
    Time my soul rescue me
    But I know I'd be here on my own
    As soon as the sun would rise
    I didn't wanna face the day
    But I have no choice when we kiss
    
    I've dreamed of a place I know
    With the shadows of my past
    Still remain
    You're buried in the midst of time
    For always you'll be the sun that shines
    Shines on me
