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
