      (i) Sound

        ( instrumental )

      (ii) Second Attention

        Be gone you ever piercing
        Power Play machine
        Cutting our musical solidarity
        For those who would break the windows
        Of our true reflections
        And perceptions of the world
        For I am out of thee with a vengeance'

        Do not play me
        You will never hear this
        You will never hear this
        Only feel it

        For too long I have danced
        To your destiny
        No longer fill my head
        With empty dreams
        Of reality and gold
        Your reality
        For I am away this side away to the second attention

        I can never ever play it or sing it
        For it can never be shouted down
        Or played ever stronger
        As I feel this never ending
        Pattern of nature
        I don't believe in Devils
        I don't believe in Demons
        I only believe in you

    2. Fist Of Fire

      Carry forth as a guardian to Kingdom Come
      With your daggers of the spirit
      Let the dagger run
      With the Fist of Fire
      Be the master now
      As the darkness of ages past

      Riches silver and gold
      In the liquid sea
      Cast a net can you catch
      So you can't see me

      As in death you can climb
      Higher thru the sky
      Show your wings
      Surely you can fly

      Fly away past the guardian to Kingdom Come
      See the miracle of life
      Disappear it's gone
      Go carry your silver ships of light
      Go carry your silver ships of light
      Go carry your silver ships of life
      Go carry your silver ships of life
      Go carry your silver ships of life
      Keep the fire in your hand
      It won't let you drown
      As you fly with your wings
      Won't come falling down

      See the flower of youth
      Disappear on high
      As you gather your true wings
      About to fly

      To be ready
      To be strong
      Make it run

      This righteous
      This wrong
      This right
      This love

      This is how nature controls
      The way of all things
      This is how the angels sing
      Not afraid
      No, not afraid
      Not afraid of this or that
      Not afraid

      Carry forth as a guardian to Kingdom Come
      With the ghost
      And the spirit
      Let the fire run
      Thru the darkest age
      We can surely fly
      Thru the darkest age
      With the Fist of Fire
      Thru the darkest age
      With the Fist of Fire

    3. Brother Of Mine
      (i) The Big Dream

        Carry forth as a guardian to Kingdom Come
        With your daggers of the spirit
        Let the dagger run
        With the Fist of Fire
        Be the master now
        As the darkness of ages past

        Riches silver and gold
        In the liquid sea
        Cast a net can you catch
        So you can't see me

        As in death you can climb
        Higher thru the sky
        Show your wings
        Surely you can fly

        Fly away past the guardian to Kingdom Come
        See the miracle of life
        Disappear it's gone
        Go carry your silver ships of light
        Go carry your silver ships of light
        Go carry your silver ships of life
        Go carry your silver ships of life
        Go carry your silver ships of life
        Keep the fire in your hand
        It won't let you drown
        As you fly with your wings
        Won't come falling down

        See the flower of youth
        Disappear on high
        As you gather your true wings
        About to fly

        To be ready
        To be strong
        Make it run

        This righteous
        This wrong
        This right
        This love

        This is how nature controls
        The way of all things
        This is how the angels sing
        Not afraid
        No, not afraid
        Not afraid of this or that
        Not afraid

        Carry forth as a guardian to Kingdom Come
        With the ghost
        And the spirit
        Let the fire run
        Thru the darkest age
        We can surely fly
        Thru the darkest age
        With the Fist of Fire
        Thru the darkest age
        With the Fist of Fire

      (ii) Nothing Can Come Between us

        Took me by surprise
        It opened up my eyes
        I can't believe we're ready to
        Run another
        Run another
        Run another

        Fourth Dimension Dream
        Always the way it seems

        Just hear the voice
        In all the songs of the earth
        Nothing can come between us
        You're a brother of mine

        We hold our hands together
        Be the sunshine
        Nothing can come between us
        You're a sister of time

        Just hear the voice
        Sing all the songs of the earth
        Nothing can come between us
        Nothing can come between us
        Nothing can come between us

        So give it all the love you have
        Never be afraid to show your heart
        So giving all the love you have
        There is a special reason to come true

        So giving all the love you have
        Never be afraid to show your heart
        So giving all the love you have
        There is a special reason
        There is a special reason this time

      (iii) Long Lost Brother Of Mine

        Seeing my life for the first time
        Long lost brother of mine
        Living my life in the big dream

        Long lost brother of mine
        Walking away from illusion
        Long lost brother of mine
        Seeing my life for the first time

        Long lost brother of mine
        Seeing me fly like an eagle
        Long lost brother of mine
        Watching me walk in the full moon
        Long lost brother of mine
        Seeing my life for the first time
        Long lost brother of mine
        Waking this dream everlasting

        So it's there
        Putting one into one special reason
        So it's there Putting one into one
        One another. Sure can. Sure can
        This is a further dimension
        Coming at us for the very first time
        It's the second attention
        Realising it all of the time

        Re-defining this long lost passion
        For the living we're in
        This will be the first of many
        I be telling you

        Long lost brother of mine
        Walking the dream evolution
        Long lost brother of mine
        Singing the sisters of freedom
        Long lost brother of mine
        Seeing the fathers of wisdom
        Long lost brother of mine
        Seeing my life for the first time
        So it's there, but to want it to one special reason
        Yes it's there, but to want it to want one another
        So it's there, but to want it to one special reason
        Yes it's there, you can see what you want to see

        Long lost brother of mine

    4. Birthright

    In 1954 the British Government, in order to maintain the balance of power between East and West, exploded their first atom bomb at Woomera. They failed to contact all of the Aborigine peoples at the time. The Aborigines still call this 'the day of the cloud'.

      A new born land
      Dreaming by the sky
      The scent of colours
      In the flowers

      Believe it's small
      In many ways
      It holds the key
      That divides the super powers

      This road is never lonely
      To ENGLAND they are tied
      They were blasted by the Silver Cloud
      They were blasted to the wall alive

      This place, this place ain't big enough for stars and stripes

      Counting out the statesmen
      Bungling one by one
      Spelling out this segregation
      So the catchword be
      Looking after number one
      They release the fear inside
      Are human after all
      So begins our dream time
      They hunted like the dinosaur
      We the pure
      They the savage innocent
      How we crush our existence after all
      Come on

      For without them
      We are lonely
      This England we are blind
      Like all the Empires crumble
      Will surely change the tide
      This place ain't big enough for red and white
      This place ain't big enough for stars and stripes
      This place - This place
      This place is theirs, by their birthright
      This place

      The sun gives better reasons
      United we are blind
      To deliver our existence
      Keep it up
      Keep it up
      This human tide, give it some

      We can break the ties
      Of recent changes
      Know the ones who
      Hold the key
      Singing out the congregation
      We are them and they are we

      This place ain't big enough for red and white
      This place ain't big enough for stars and stripes
      This place
      This place
      This place is theirs by their birthright

    5. The Meeting

      Surely I could tell
      When I sleep tonight
      A dream will call
      And raise its head in majesty
      Dividing all my energy
      To the meeting of your love

      Where from whence it came
      Like a singer searching for a song
      I try to reach where you belong
      As I will be the song for you
      I will be your servant child
      No, oh no I cannot be deceived
      No, oh no There's something
      That I feel There's something that I feel inside

      Surely I could tell
      If you ask me Lord
      To board the train

      My life my love would be the same
      As I would be the one for you
      In the meeting of your love
      In the meeting of your love

    6. Quartet:
      (i) I Wanna Learn

        I wanna learn more about you
        We haven't spoke in quite a while
        And all of the dreams that come true
        So surprising how it catches you

        I wanna learn more about me
        I've been sinking like a setting stone
        And now the dreams are realising it's true
        That's why I wanna learn about you

        I wanna know more about life
        And things that can fly in between my mind
        I wanna change all that I dream about
        My waking and my so many lives, oh my

        I wanna learn more about you
        We haven't spoke in quite a while
        Just let me, let me come through
        I'll give you my heart, my life for life

      (ii) She Gives Me Love

        She give me love
        When love had gone away
        When the pressure came so fast
        She give me love
        Long distance runaround
        And in between the pressure
        I was summoned

        How did we dance on the south side of the sky
        We saw the flags flying on the moon
        And thru the gates of delirium so fast
        Believing in the light was a beginning
        Only to believe in you
        Only to believe in you

        She give me love
        When I was losing fast
        I was awakened by the dream
        She was the love for me
        The first and last
        And all that I remembered
        Was the roundabout only to believe in you

      (iii) Who Was The First

        Who was the first to show
        The moon at night
        Is never so far away
        We are the first to define the
        Languages of love

        Who was the first to learn
        The universal consciousness divine
        We are the first to discover
        This day in our time

        And when the history of science
        Re-writes itself each day
        We are living in days of wonder Simon says
        So wonderful true believer
        So wonderful I'm alive
        Just take this world of life
        Each day at a time

        So up this universal
        Combination of the word
        I'll try so hard to fulfill my belief
        Take me I'm a love you
        I'm a love you
        No change in my mind
        I'll walk with you to the end of the earth

        I wanna leam more about you
        We haven't spoke in quite a while
        I wanna leam more about me
        We haven't spoke in quite a while

        So up this universal
        Combination of the word
        So up this universal
        Word of love

        Take me I'm a love you
        I'm a want you
        No need to change my mind
        I'll walk with you to the end of the earth

        I wanna learn more about you
        We haven't spoke in quite a while
        I wanna learn more about me

      (iv) I'm Alive

        Only when you looked
        Did I realise
        Someone broke into your life
        How we hurt and never show it
        Come into my world hold me In your arms
        There's a mystery to the touch
        How it heals so
        When we're broken

        I believe that all the fear you've had
        Can gently fly away

        We experience we hold together
        Lost in one embrace

        We will love forever ( this eternity )
        For in ( this ) love. I'm alive. I'm alive

        Only when you spoke
        Did I realise
        How you understand this life

        How you help me
        With your eyesight

        Only when we touched
        Did it all come true
        How you understand my life
        How you helped me with your light

    7. Teakbois ( The Life And Times Of Bobby Dread )

      Jump out this next world
      Is gone overground
      That sky is ecstasy dancin'

      My child my woman
      My daughter my son
      Together planning to party

      Just wait for me
      Out on the street
      Teakbois is everywhere

      Dancing with you
      We're coming thru
      Somehow we'll all be there

      This time is surely
      Come once and for all
      We're waited so now
      We are ready

      Be quick be ready
      Be sure and be smart
      No need the energy wasted
      I've dreamed of music
      That comes from the heart
      As tho' the eagle has landed

      Just wait for me
      Out in the street
      Teakbois is everywhere

      Dancing with you
      We're coming thru
      Everyone will be there

      She smiles my mind
      Is just blown I can't stop
      No time is better than now

      I wake up everyday
      Before the sun is coming up

      Bobby Dread and the kool running

      The fish to catch
      The sea to swim
      They say I gotta life
      To live

      Bobby Dread and the kool running

      My music is my only witness
      To my very soul

      Bobby Dread and the kool running

      So when you need me
      All you have to do is help me
      Lose control

      Bobby Dread and the kool running

      They say the world's a stage
      So let me play for you and you and you

      Bobby Dread and the kool running

      It's all I ever in my life
      I really wanted
      To sing and do

      Bobby Dread and the kool running

      We form a group a simple name
      A secret harmony like

      Bobby Dread and the kool running

      We write our songs
      We symphonise
      Some people say they like us

      Bobby Dread and the kool running

      This summer you couldn't get it

    8. Order Of The Universe:
      (i) Order Theme

        ( instrumental )

      (ii) Rock Gives Courage

        You don't need anybody, don't you give me that surprise
        Everything about you inside your eyes
        You don't need anybody in your family ties
        You crossed over the river

        You don't need any money to deserve all your friends
        It's just the love you give them
        You don't need anybody in this complicated life
        You crossed over the river

        And you're there on your own and you're lost in your life
        And you think there's someone's gonna make you feel so good
        You better lose control you better watch your step
        For there's something inside you, they call it
        Rock gives courage, a way to win the trust
        Rock gives lovers a way to win or bust
        You don't need anybody in this complicated life
        You crossed over the river

        Rock gives courage, a way to win the trust Rock gives lovers a way to win or bust
        Rock gives sisters a way to speak their mind Without this gift of rock and roll We'd all be wasting time

      (iii) It's So Hard To Grow

        They say we've got it made, they say we gotta light
        Where is the man with all the great directions

        They say we gotta win, they say we gotta learn
        But in the end it's just the same damn reason
        They say you've gotta run, they say you gotta jump
        Don't really need to know which way we're going

        They say we gotta push, they say we gotta shout
        Is this the way to keep our bonfires burning
        Sick feeling, sick reasoning, sick challenge you
        la la la la
        You can't imagine it, how hard it is to grow
        You can't imagine it, can you imagine

        The order of the universe

        You don't need anybody, don't you give me that surprise
        Everything about you inside your eyes
        You don't need anybody in your family ties
        You crossed over the river
        You don't need any money to deserve all your friends
        It's just the love you give 'em

        You don't need anybody in this complicated life
        You crossed over the river, you crossed over the river
        You crossed over the river, you crossed over the river

        The order of the universe

    9. Let's Pretend

      Let us be together, let's pretend that we

      Are free, let's all be where the angels
      Find us, we all have the key
      Shall we seal the truth of life
      Shall we light the heavens
      We're so good at finding pleasure
      As to what we are, and how we fit
      Together

      Let us sing the song it is
      Let the sound of all belief
      Let's all find that space in life
      To follow in between
      It's something that I feel
      To pour upon my soul
      Countenance of love
      For one n' all

      To know there's so many ways
      The force of nature prevails
      I lay down, I lay down and I pray

      Let's get our hearts together
      And as before, and like before
      We'll do again

      To know there's so many ways
      The force of nature prevails
      I lay down, I lay down and I pray
      Let's get our hearts together
      As before, and like before
      We'll do again

      Let's get our hearts together
      As before, and like before
      We'll do again

      Let's get our hearts together
      As before, and like before
      We'll do again
      Do again . . .
