    1. New Day

      Open spirit flews and makes it obvious
      I am leaving without a soul
      There's never enough to get back
      In this shadow of self-destruction
      I remember everything and then forget
      Every time I go there ...
      Hello this is not goodbye
      Hello... Hello

    "I know" comes shouting out and screaming in my ear
    "I will have a new day"
    It's me that's whispering sweet somethings can't compare
    I will have a new day
      Spider shadow knows and makes it obvious
      I am weaving out of control
      My web has tost resistance
      In this moment of revelation
      I remember everything,.. and then forget
      Every time i go there...
      Hello this is not goodbye
      Hello, Hello

    Today. I'm becoming something that's not me
    I will have a new day
    "No choice" comes shouting out, ringing in my ear
    It wont be the same way
    Your heart whispering sweet somethings can't compare
    I will have a new day
    "I know" comes shouting out and screaming in my ear
    "I will have a new day"
    It's me that's whispering sweet somethings can't compare
    I will have a new day"
    2. Beyond The Sea

      Where there has been doubt
      Now there are passing clouds
      In this life
      There is still, something true
      Beyond the sea of lies

      Where there has been fear
      Dark skies begin to clear
      At this time
      There is still hope for peace
      Beyond the sea of lies

    (Bridge)
    Tyrants will come and go
    Tyranny it seams
    Wiff always exist
    But they can only do
    What we allow them to

    (Chorus)
    Truth as it arrives
    Asks us to change our lives
    To chase the greater faith
    Beyond the sea, the sea of lies

      Where leaders have failed
      We the people will prevail
      We'll survive
      There is stilt, something true
      Beyond the sea of lies

    Truth as it arrives
    Asks us to change our lives
    To chase the greater faith
    Beyond the sea. the sea ñf lies
      Beyond the sea of lies
      There is stiii, hope for peace
      Beyond the sea of iies
      In this life
      Beyond the sea of lies
    3. Give Up Giving Up

      When the ground bloom flower will not grow
      When the bright-minded bail will not glow
      When you find your own angets hiding your luck
      Give up
      Give up

    And give up giving up
    Give up giving up
    And give up giving up
    Give up giving up
      When the young setf s power voiceless heart
      When the mean bombshell breaks all apart
      When the roar of the new storm destroys our luck
      Give up
      Give up

      When the breath of true grace will not live
      When the eternal life is not myth
      When the world magician plays tricks with pure Suck
      Give up
      Give up

    (Chorus x 2)

    4. Crazy Believer

      I got to stop what I'm thinking - I must move on here
      This rage inside got me in the middle of breaking through
      Or breaking down
      I'm a crazy believer - this broken heart
      Won't make me hit the ground

      Now I stand at the edge of why I was hurting
      Moment of time, when all was lost
      It's what makes me see
      I'm not alone I'm reaching out, I'm moving on
      This brief pain won't take control
      All comes down to

    A broken heart, a broken dream
    Gives me new vision of what I want to see
    Something close grabs hold of me and it won't let me go
    I feel release from a broken heart
    Crazy believer
    There's power in the confusion
    It's meant to be - meant to find
    Direction comes at the end of the line
      Now I have stopped aii my hurting
      I'm moving on here
      I stopped my mind from directing
      And go inside near
      I stopped the rage I'm moving on
      This brief pain won't take control
      It all comes down to

    A broken heart and broken dreams
    Gives me new vision of what t want to see
    Something close grabs hoid of me and it wont let me go
    I feet release from a broken heart
    A broken heart, a broken dream
    Gives me new vision of what I want to see
    Crazy believer
    There's power in the confusion
    It's meant to be - meant to find
    Direction comes at the end of the line

    5. Fate

      I wake up at first light, turn over
      I did it once again, the night before
      There was affection
      But now 1 feel the lust is gone, can t stay anymore
      There's no connection
      I know who I am, intense desire
      Has footed me once again
      Gonna need forgiveness, might take something else
      Make this night fade and slip away

    Fate and love can never be, suffocating I can't leave
    I gotta get away
    Many times I tried and tried, f want to recognize
    Fateful love escape is not for me
      I'm out here walking, cold and yearning
      Frozen deep inside, one more time
      I let my love go, chose a quicker fate
      Although it's crazy I don't hesitate

      This strange moment, fall over
      I lose my passion, wrong direction
      Took the wrong direction, might take something eise
      Make this night fade and slip away

    (Bridge)
    Hope I speak to anyone found themselves tangled up
    Somewhere, sometime
    Lust turns to ashes, it all bums away
    Goes away... gently walks away

    (Chorus)
    Look at me I'm on my knees begging you don't say please
    Want you to leave today
    Many times 1 made you cry, don't want to sympathize
    I just wanna do what's best for me

    6. Dream Away


      Too many lights out in our little world
      So many things seem unclear
      Broke a hole In love and fell out Round and round in circles still the same
      Breathe in. Breathe out

    No confusion. No illusion
    Nothing left in space and time
    Nothing taken out of you, nothing leaving out of line
    No misplace, No distaste, no missed loving in grace
    Find the place deep in yourself
    Find the spot deeper than heart
    Nothing ever fades away
    Nothing ever fades away
    Gotta let it ... Dream away
      Pain and heartache or our little world
      Hate and anger, distrust, broken love
      Despair, lost hope, frustrated
      Losing one... I'm losing one
      Coming back to be, coming back to be
      Open to light. Stronger than life
      Breathe in, breathe out

    No confusion, No illusion
    Nothing left in space and time
    Nothing taken out of you, nothing ieaving out of line
    No misplace, no distaste, no missed loving in grace
    No misleading in late, no missed love in your heart
    No heart dreams like a million miles coming at ya right here
    Nothing like a dream, nothing like a dream
    Nothing ever fades away
    Gotta let it dream away

    7. Once And For All

      In the slow coming out of sleep
      Dreaming on our feet
      Out the door and down the hall
      This settles it once and for all

    This settles it once and for all
    This settles it once and for ail
    This settles it once and for all
      Bore our monsters in the night
      Killed them by daylight
      Learn to rise learn to fail
      This settles it once and for all

    This settles It once and for all
    This settles it once and for alt
    This settles it once and for all
      Look into the room of fire
      Walk into the room of fire faithfully
      The room of fire-----------
      It's good to know the room of fire

      We're lovers of the laughing dead
      But our eyes lift up our heads
      Mind and heart. Heed the call
      This settles it once and for all

    If the final wind is us
    Here we are in silence
    Light angel. Dark angel

    (Chorus)

    8. Mighty Love


      Don't know what
      It was that brought us here
      I do not know how long we'll stay t only know what hasn't happened here
      To me, you've shown a better way

    Put a mighty love in your heart
    Leave a little light when you leave
    And in a matter of time you will change their minds at
    Put a mighty love in their hearts
      A thousand years ago I knew you when
      The world was lost and far away
      Through alt those many years and lives we've had
      Your song remains the same today

    The battle rages all across the land
    From pole to pole and sea to sea
    Is this the betterment of modern man
    Or a strangely brewed and bitter tea?
    Or a strange and cruel abnormality ?

    (Chorus)

    9. Loyal


      I heard some words come crashing in
      Cut me deep and from a friend
      Now I mustn't worry or even think v'
      This goes beyond hurt, makes me
      Gets me thinking crazy, thinkin maybe friends don't work
      This new change has been quick
      This new face a new awakening

    What was it we said in the beginning until then
    I will be loyal to the end. Where's my friend?
    (So close, trust me, I'll be there, Where's my friend?
    Always loyal, I'll be there, Where's my friend ?)
      A friendship without words that no aciion ever takes
      A closeness without worry, a connection that wont break
      Maybe bend for some moments, a lack of growth relieved
      Spinning higher every second, loving thoughts that never leave
      This new change has been quick
      This new face a sad awakening

    New face, no change
    I will be loyal; I wilt be your friend.
    I will be loyal
    I will be loyal
    This close, everybody knows
    1 will be loyal; I will be your friend
    I will be loyal
    I will be loyal

    10. Waterhole

      Keep on searching cause I got a hungry soul
      Webs are woven, not so easy to control
      Makin' progress - why does it go so slow
      Who's your maker? in the end we'll finally know

    Down, down, down to the waterhole
    Where can I go, down
    But I'll come around
      Walk in circles, didn't notice I was standing still
      You can't buy what's real but you can buy your superficial thrills
      Climb the ladder - The higher up you know the further you fail
      Take your trinkets. if you bet you better bet it all

    Down, down, down to the waterhole
    Where can I go. down.
    But I'll come around
    I'll come around
