1. SOLDIER OF THE LINE

Soldier of the line how does it feel
You're far away from home polishing steel
The sun moves in between the mountain and sky
As dawn puts out its fingers splitting them wide

Soldier of the line what do you know
About the other side, they never show
They must be well disguised biding their time
Their armour well prepared so nothing will shine

Soldier of the line would you kill me
There's something in your eyes stopping you see
They're cloudy and you turn your head away
What's that rolling down your face, are you OK?

Hold back those tears from your eye
Don't show those feelings inside
You're in a murderous playground
War games on a castle wall
You're in a murderous playground
Crossed out if you dare to fall

Soldier of the line it isn't fair
You're bleeding deep inside nobody cares
Your flag and lance stand proud splintered and red
No movement in the field, the crows will be fed

Soldier of the line you've come to the end
You'll never get to see your mother again
Some unfamiliar place you're going to stay
An unremembered name an unforgettable day


2. REBORN

Why am I here in this lonely dark room?
Did I do something or acted too soon?
The dogs they howl, the prisoners do cry
A king is born but a poor man he will die
I believe if you look through your window
Try reaching out to the rainbow
You will find he was stolen by shadows

Time will tell if I did speak out of turn
Then I'll know it was a lesson well learned
I hear no sound, though I see before my eyes
A faceless wave in a desert I despise
I believe if you look through your window
Try reaching out to the rainbow
You will find he was stolen by shadows

But I know it's only for a moment
And the moment goes so fast
And the seconds of the future
Are the seconds of the past

'Cause it all goes in circles and ends where it started
And the journey is familiar, 'though you think it's Uncharted
You could have easily been this way a hundred times before

As another day passed, I secretly hide
All the funny feelings from deep down inside
Still I can but wonder how everyone knows
How they can believe in the thorn but no rose
Somebody ought to show them how to see
Somebody ought to tell them how to be free

I am a wheel that keeps turning
Cast out on a journey unending
This serves me well
Because I know I'm a seeker of fortune
None can explain or can foretell

Starlight on an ocean unbroken
Soft winds will refuse to be woken
All remains the same
And just like a silvery fountain
Comes from nowhere and back again


3. SACRED HOUR

All of my dreams that fell through and had tasted so sour
Take second place in my mind for this one sacred hour
Still I've been moved for so long by this strange Fascination
Here as I stand all alone in complete concentration

Face through the clouds in the Gods shine with awe and Splendour
Rise up and roar they approve will they always remember
I hear the voice of the crowd, it will last forever
Locked in my heart kept away like a stolen treasure

I can hear them calling
Hear the crowd applauding
If it's real I like the feeling
If I'm wrong who am I deceiving?

Night after night it repeats an exciting romance
Shared by us all though we met by a fleeting half-chance
Caught, trapped in time no escape from this powerful Dreamworld
Pleased though I am to be here I am lost in the real world


4. SPIRIT

Don't place your trust in foolish promises sworn
Nor cryptic message scrawled upon every wall
Street corner justice beware
The spirit will find you always be fair
The shallow verse once read means nothing at all
Nor fearful gestures made for instant recall
In lies your heart will not share
The spirit inside used without care

The spirit that guides you follow it through
To the spirit inside you always be true
You know you'll despair
If the spirit inside is used without care

The battlefield of glory pales into rust
The river flows much thicker fed by each thrust
No beast alive does compare
The spirit beside you everywhere
Let not your head be turned by tainted reward
And dreams of fortune won forever to hoard
Your conscience could not repair
The spirit inside used without care

'Cause it will be your shelter, help you how to decide
And it will be your helper should your loyalties divide

The ash of pages swept before the cruel wind
The loss of choices praises no-one will sing
No clues to how you will fare
The spirit implores you tread where you dare
The dust lies thick on casket rich or quite poor
Distinction disappears the worm both deplore
The candle burns out once more
But the spirit inside you won't be ignored


5. CHANGES

Oh, oh
With every word I hear there's no sympathy
It was destroyed and swept away
It was replaced by something I can't see
To stay forever and always (oh, oh)

We really should try and talk it out
Avoid the same mistake again
But I can see that there will be no doubt
Looks like we have reached the end

Oh, I'm going through changes
Oh so many changes
I'm losing my senses, don't know what to do
I'll go through my changes, faster then you

Is there no one
Who feels the same as me

I'm going through changes
Oh so many changes
I'm losing my senses, don't know what to do

I'm going through changes
Oh so many changes yeah yeah yeah
I'm losing my senses, don't know what to do
I'm going through changes, hey

Oh, oh
Going through changes
Oh, oh, oh, oh


6. ALL OF MY LIFE

Now everything's gone my way
I'm a king among men
I did what the people say
With the sword not the pen

All of my life, all of my life
All of my life I gave it away

All of my life, all of my life
All of my life I gave it away oh through it all away

I constitute all that's left
The brave and the wild
All gone to seek endless rest
Their sleep unspoiled

All of my life, all of my life
All of my life I gave it away

All of my life, all of my life
All of my life I gave it away a lot of through it all away

And now the water falls, the mountain calls
I'd give you all of these
For now the war is won and I am done
No use am I in peace, peace

Yeah, yeah
Oh
Yeah, Yeah

All of my life, all of my life
All of my life, all of my life
All of my life I gave it away, oh

All of my life, all of my life
All of my life, all of my life
All of my life I gave it away oh lord, oh lord away, Wow

Now at last I can understand
Why I am alone
I recognise not this land
My eyes have grown old, they've grown old

All of my life, all of my my my my my my my life
All of my life
All of my life oh push push push push

All of my life, all of my my my my my my my life
All of my life
All of my life I gave it away oh through it away

And now the water falls, the mountain calls
I'd give you all of these
For now the war is won and I am done
No use am I in peace, peace oh
All of my life


7. INVASION

Madness! - Oh!

You wouldn't believe your eyes, you wouldn't believe your Ears
Out of the dawning skies, suddenly it appeared
I wonder why they're here, do they understand?
Seems they will destroy someone's master plan

Lookin' across the sea, lookin' across the land
Wondering what they'll find, wondering what's at hand
Breathing in the air with the falling rain
Getting all prepared for the final day

From out of the crimson air, ooh, suddenly came the fire
Look at the flaming sky, see how the flames grow higher
Alien, your day, this is not to be
All the people say let the world be free

Wouldn't believe your eyes, you wouldn't believe your ears
Into the dawning skies, suddenly disappeared
Set their course for mars, leave the world behind
Tracking through the stars, find a different sign

Oh! - Oh!


8. KINGDOM OF MADNESS

When the night is on the run and your dreams are almost Gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul, beast of morning then unfold
In a whirlpool sadness creeps, shadows walk with silent Feet
Is there something in the air, turns your hope into Despair?
Despair!

Ooh, oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me on the run

When the night is on the run and your dreams are almost Gone
Seas of fire snatch your soul, beast of morning then Unfold, ooh, yeah!
Take your hands away from me, leave my eyes, so I can see
It's not pleasure that you seek, you destroy the ones who Are weak
Ooh, yes, you do!

Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me on the run

The minstrel sings as he looks at me but he doesn't make a Sound
And a lovely time is had by all as the jester plays around
Everyone's laughing, everyone's laughing, everyone's Laughing at me!

Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me on the run

Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me undone
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've really begun
Oh, kingdom of madness - you've got me on the run...
