Eloy - Metromania
Escape To The Heights
Civilisation ending
A mystic silent sound
No more spirits rising
Wasteland all around
Bursting open the wall, no longer down hearted
I am hearing the call, my mind is feeling my heart
Evil eyes around me
No movement on my own
Cannot shake their present
No visions here to roan
Bursting open the wall, no longer down hearted
I am hearing the call, my mind is feeling my heart
Deserted faces crowding me, staring cold ahead
Not conscious of their destiny, my heart won't be lead
I'll escape to the heights, now, now
Yonder in the distance
A glowing ray of light
Escape from isolation
And shadows in the night
I'll escape to the heights, achieving new frontiers
I've a reason to fight, rejecting old values
Leave the darkness behind, I'm feeling my freedom now
Seeds Of Creation
I've spent my life in darkness
Blind enslaved on the factory floor
And now a new sensation
Lost at sea I can see the shore
CHORUS:
I'm seeing trees growing
I'm hearing birds singing
I'm feeling rain falling
Spring is coming winter's on the run
Each drop of rain's a heart-beat
Bringing life to this barren ground
With nature's cycle turning
Seeds of creation all around
CHORUS:
I'm seeing trees growing
I'm hearing birds singing
I'm feeling rain falling
Spring is coming winter's on the run
BRIDGE:
Stand up stand up
Face a world full of light
Stand up stand up
It's the end of the night
I feel I feel
the rays of the sun
I feel I feel
winter's on the run
All Life Is One
I am part of the sun and the sky and the heavens above
Move where the rivers flow fly with the breezes forever
And the earth and the sea and the hills and trees
They're a part of me
All life, all life is one
Bathe in the mountain streams
Run through green meadows and valleys below
And the earth and the sea and the hills and trees
They're a part of me
All life, all life is one
What moves the hands on the clock on the wall?
What makes the rains and the snowflakes fall?
And the pendulum swings so it drives the machines
Nature's force is the source, she's the source of us all
I feel this new found force driving the words from my pen
Here, as I compose my thoughts
Firing my heart as my heart drives the blood
Through my veins
Warmth, feel it babtise my soul
All in rhyme, a verbal possession
All in rhyme, a lyric obsession
There's a force in us all
There's a force drives the blood in my veins
And this force speaks in poetry
The Stranger
I'm walking down a street with no end
An evening wind is blowing cold
Ethereal tune a radio voice
Alone in the heart of the crowd
What's in the air the feeling they share
Looking full of hope
Oh no no no:
CHORUS:
Sorry sorry sorry I'm not the one you've been waiting for
Sorry sorry sorry I'm not the one you've been praying for
The saviour from afar
Collar up high a fresh cigarette
Vacant windows line the way
Man on the news with nothing to say
They tell the same tales every day
Suffering alone whispering cries trying to call
I can't help you:
CHORUS:
Sorry sorry sorry I'm not the one you've been begging for
Sorry sorry sorry I'm not the one you've been hoping for
Follow The Light
A glow on the horizon so near and yet so far
A rich and vivid sunset, the marker of our time
See the light, feel its warmth
See the glow, which fills the sky
A light with magic powers which penetrates my heart
A light which wakes my senses
And sets my thoughts aflame
See the light, feel its warmth
Touch the glow, that fills the mind
Is this the twilight of lifetime's gone before?
Or is the night now over, bringing forth the dawn
As in a raging tempest we hear the thunder cry
We see the trees fall victim see spears of lightning fly
CHOIR: Hear me
HE: Dream or reality?
CHOIR: Hear me
HE: Is someone calling me?
CHOIR:
End your bondage now and throw away your chains
No more hesitation now's the time to change
Leave the road you're on for there's a better way
Be just what you are and let your spirit free
The questions without answers are written on the wall
The pleas of spray-can poets
Who heeds them when they call?
CHOIR: Hear me
HE: Dream or reality?
CHOIR: Hear me
HE: Is someone calling me?
CHOIR:
End your bondage now and throw away your chains
No more hesitation now's the time to change
Leave the road you're on for there's a better way
Be just what you are and let your spirit free
CHORUS:
Follow the light have no fear it won't burn your eyes
Follow the light feel it's never ending
Warmth it can heal the blind
CHORUS:
Follow the light have no fear it won't burn your eyes
Follow the light it's your future you will realize
Follow the light feel its power feel it in your soul
Follow the light it is here it is there it is everywhere
Everywhere you go
The Nightriders
Good and bad watch out for the nightriders
At night the streets become their sole domain
There's no escape no matter how you try
Motorcycle flaming eyes
CHORUS:
That's the law now a badge and a gun
Once they were there to defend and to serve
Now controlling everyone
Law enforcement soldiers men made for war
What was once called justice
Stands unopposed as the law
We warn our children of the nightriders
You might not see them but they're always there
Don't make mistakes for they don't understand
Look into their eyes
CHORUS:
You've been caught now you're trying to run
See an escape but you won't get away
They ask no questions, they reach for the gun
Law enforcement soldiers men made for war
What was once called justice
Stands unopposed as the law
CHORUS:
From my roof I am watching the scene
See the beams of their lights in the dark
Nightriders patrolling our dreams
Law enforcement soldiers men made for war
What was once called justice
Stands unopposed as the law
Metromania
At last I realize, I see the world through different eyes
Now there's a feeling of joy in my heart
You know, there was a time when doubt
And strife controlled my life
Until I felt they would tear me apart
I was so lonely
Waiting, hoping for sight in the dark
And it was only
The light inside that provided the spark
A sudden vision of the world around
That pushed me to rhyme
Another range of possibilities
Justified my time
Here from my roof I see a scheme
Of things which pleases me
No desperation no fear and no doubt
I use to kneel
And pray that I could someday break away
But I don't need to
I've found my way out
I was so lonely
Waiting, hoping for sight in the dark
And it was only
The light inside that provided the spark
Am I a madman, out of control
Or the only one aware of his soul?
CHORUS:
My hideaway, my place to stay
My refuge lies in Metromania
My sanctuary, my satori
My freedom lies in Metromania
