1. THE DREAM GOES ON

Come on baby let's have some fun
You don't know it but you're the one
Feeling right now, I'm in my prime
Ain't going to die now I'm doing fine

Don't you see it's all for me
Behind the lights up on this stage
Cause the dreams goes on

Ain't no reason for you to say
You've got to stop your musical ways
Ain't no way girl I'm going to stop today
Cause you should know I've got to play

Don't you see it's all for me
Behind the lights up on this stage
Cause the dreams goes on and on and on

Come on baby let's have some fun
You don't know it but you're the one
Ain't no reason for you to say
You've got to stop your musical ways

Don't you see it's all for me
Behind the lights up on this stage
Cause the dreams goes on and on and on


2. CAT AND MOUSE

The rats are in the cellar
The mice are in the cage
The cat is in the toilet
And the dog's got the mange
The up is now the down
The front is now the back
We've got it all so turned around
That I Can't keep track

That's the way the story goes
They say it's all so clear
What is real nobody knows
They have all drowned in fear
They're drowning

The lions are roaring
The wolves they howl
The old men are snoring
And the cops they just cop out
Our diamonds are rusty
Our gold is no good
Our minds are so dusty
Nothings understood

That's the way the story goes
They say it's all so clear
What is real nobody knows
We have all drowned in fear
Ah damn it I'm drowning

The rats are in the cellar
The mice are in the cage
The cat is in the toilet
And my fucking dog he's got the mange
The up is now the down
The front is now the back
We've got it all so turned around
That I Can't keep track
It' a cat and mouse

3. FAR SIDE OF THE SUN

In the launch of 2202
the heavens received in it's un-oxygenized atmosphere
A ship headed for the far reaches of the galaxy
Destination a newly found planetoid
On the distant side of that great fireball of gases
A new land on the far side of the sun.

The day is coming
That soon in futures times
Every single one of us
Will soon learn how to die

And if I do escape
Before that time has come
I will meet you
On the far side of the sun

Everybody is free
On the far side of the sun

Won't you listen to me
I'm on the other side
I've got to get back to my home
Before I go out of my mind

It's like I'm in a mirror
A mystery I can't face
It's like a dream I'm living
I've got to get back into space

Everybody is free
On the far side of the sun

I'm going to journey homeward
That time has finally come
I'm going to fly back through the stars
To the far side of the sun

And now a ship approaching
Heading straight for me
Oh Lord it's a ship like mine
Is this my destiny

Everybody is free
On the far side of the sun


4. STREET JAMMER

The streets are crowded
Tonight I'm out for blood
My cars ignited
I've got rubber to burn
My stereo
Is cranked to the max
Rock n Roll Heavy Metal
I've got all at the hottest tracks
Cause I'm a street jammer

It's twelve o clock
The engines they whine
400 strong
In the dead of the night
The moon is bright
I begin to howl
I'm going to jam up this street
Before this night is out
Cause I'm a street jammer

The streets are crowded
Tonight I'm out for blood
My cars ignited
I've got rubber to burn
My stereo
Is cranked to the max
Rock n Roll Heavy Metal
I've got all at the hottest tracks
Cause I'm a street jammer


5. CENTURION WAR GAMES

Time has never simplified
It's always been so cruel
And deep down inside our hearts
We know it's all for fools
The tribulations of this land
Are coarse and deep within
Raise up with all our might
Use the power we have to win

For we're centurions in a game of war
Fighting for fortune and fame
We're the warriors of a dieing race
In a centurion war games

The swords they gleam against the sky
That's red with fire of war
The warriors they fight side by side
Till time is nevermore
Let us win our certain fame
In the game that ends all games
We will win our rightful name
In the centurion war game

For we're centurions in a game of war
Fighting for fortune and fame
We're the warriors of a dieing race
In a centurion war games

Time has never simplified
It's always been so cruel
And deep down inside our hearts
We know it's all for fools
The tribulations of this land
Are coarse and deep within
Raise up with all our might
Use the power we have to win

For we're centurions in a game of war
Fighting for fortune and fame
We're the warriors of a dieing race
In a centurion war games


6. THE EMPIRE

The crystal evolves the light of time
The sword of Asrah, power of fire
For life we fight till the end of time
For destiny leads us to build our empire

Master of energy Nardia we hail
For Manillan lords Ice Spirit shall sail
For the empire we shall not fail
The cycle complete order shall prevail

In search of peace
In search of freedom
The cycle complete
The city Manilla

The empire in dormant lace
The magikal mysteries of the ordonian age
The plague of man verses sword of fire
The plotted destruction of the Manillan empire

Electrical impulse, fire and knowledge
Unite together the gladiator arises
The golden death of demonic domain
Manilla free the empire rises again

In quest of peace
In search of freedom
The cycle complete
The city Manilla

The crystal evolves the light of time
The sword of Asrah, power of fire
For life we fight till the end of time
For destiny leads us to build our empire
