1. THIS SPIRIT

Look to the sky, there's a new revolution
Open your eyes 'cos it's not what you're used to
Around the world the king is calling
So get on your knees and finish what you started

This spirit calls to me, to make me believe
It calls out to the world
Can you hear me now?
One love, one spirit
Sing out and let us pray
Roll the stone away

Are you gonna listen to the voice of reason?
The higher the stakes the more you're gonna burn
The word is law it's all that you need
Have you got a ticket for the rocket ride to heaven?

This spirit calls to me, to make me believe
It calls out to the world
Can you hear me now?
One love, one spirit
Sing out and let us pray
Roll the stone away

Look to the sky, there's a new revolution
Open your eyes 'cos it's not what you're used to
Around the world the king is calling
So get on your knees and finish what you started

This spirit calls to me, to make me believe
It calls out to the world
Can you hear me now?
One love, one spirit
Sing out and let us pray
Roll the stone away

Roll the stone away
Keep rolling the stone away
This spirit calls to me


2. IRON RAILS

They came into town on the sunrise
Waiting for the town and the people to fall
You could tell them apart by their last names
The doors were locked and the children were called

See the horses beat on clouds
On iron rails we're coming down
Oh no, no, no, no
Waiting for the town and the people to fall

So put on your coat for the last time
Hide in the cellar, don't whisper my name
The bad men they're out there to get you
When the law falls, will the children be saved?

See the horses beat on clouds
On iron rails we're coming down
Oh no, no, no, no
Waiting for the town and the people to fall

We're going to hell on a fast train
In a blacked out sky I hear my people cry 'no more'
You took our faith as we fell to our knees
The lord calls, will the children be saved?

See the horses beat on clouds
On iron rails we're coming down
Oh no, no, no, no
Waiting for the town and the people to fall


3. DAY BY DAY

I call upon the gunshot in you
To heal the nightmare in me
While love lies gently bleeding
I'm living without you
I'm living without you
You open up a window on life
For me there is no other way
If I can't break the window
I'm living without you
One or one thousand days and I'm still here
How many more will I last?

What still remains is dust
Empty rooms and darkness
Is there something more that I can say?
I can't live day by day, my love

There is a broken picture of her
In a hallway I don't own
We haven't spoken lately
Do you feel the same?
Or has your mind changed?
We put together something we called life
Because we know no other way
When the rain came falling
We thought we could hold on
But I got it so wrong
I got it so wrong

Time marches on
There's nothing here but a memory
Is there something more that I can say?
I can't keep living day by day, my love

I said that I would love you for all time
And for me nothing has changed
But there were too many secrets
And too many words unsaid
They were better left unsaid
But the silence is killing me
All has turned to rust
No more ever after
Was there something more that I could have said?
I can't keep living day by day, my love


4. HOUSE OF LAW

Show me the holy man
Don't lay your truth down at my door
Show me the hands of your Jesus
I'll nail his faith into the floor

They tell me this is heaven
There's nothing more
Give me a lie I will believe
So I should seek redemption for what's gone before
Give me the cross for my sins
Lead me on into the house of law

I read the news today
It said a young man went to war
He's out there caught in the crossfire
Shot for the dream of a brave new world

They tell me this is heaven
There's nothing more
Give me a lie I will believe
So I should seek redemption for what's gone before
Give me the cross for my sins
Lead me on into the house of law

They tell me this is heaven
There's nothing more
Give me a lie I will believe
So I should seek redemption for what's gone before
Give me the cross for my sins
Lead me on into the house of law


5. HEAVEN TONIGHT

Could I be much more than a stranger?
But for now in the shadows I'll stand
My thoughts only hasten the danger
But you'll listen and you'll know me damn well
These streets have known my name
For twenty years maybe more
So I should hang my head in shame
But I won't hide no more

Could be heaven tonight
Could be heaven tonight
See my face in the cold daylight
And reach for heaven

If you see my face in dark doorways
You run and you never look back
'Cos I am no more than a footstep behind you
I'm born of man but I'm devil by design
To those who made me
I'm not what I should have been
Oh, mother, father
Am I what you had in mind?

Could be heaven tonight
Could be heaven tonight
See my face in the cold daylight
And reach for heaven

My voice singled out in the darkness
Should be one conversation to hear
When it hurts
Will you have the grace to close your eyes?
As you scream 'is there anybody out there?'
No good will come of this
So put your head in the sand
Bring out the hangman
And was my life from your hands

Could be heaven tonight
Could be heaven tonight
See my face in the cold daylight
And reach for heaven

Is there anybody out there?


6. HIT THE TARGET

Come into the fire and feel your mind burn
It was hot when we got here
Now there's a fireball all over town
Moving under the radar
Our mission is to paralyze

Come closer, come closer
Into my gunsight
Hit the target tonight
Hit the target tonight

The beat of the wasteland
The beat of the out of control
Found a home in the new world
In a house called rock and roll
Are you ready for the takedown
And are you ready for the time of your lives?
So we came from the satellite star
Supersonic, oh so supersonic

Hit the target tonight
Hit the target tonight

Hit the target tonight
So hit the target tonight
Hit the target tonight
So hit the target tonight


7. BREAKOUT

This is a breakout
Shadows hit the wall like thunder
We hit the ground and still they come running
To the left and to the right
They light up the sky
You better call off the search 'cos we are long gone
There's nowhere left to hide in the city
Start up the car, let's get moving on

We'll keep on riding into the storm
This is a breakout
We can't stop 'till we reach daylight
I want to see your face for the last time
We can't stop 'cos we are oh so far from home

Surrender to the exile you have put me in
No more your walls won't hide me
I look left and I look right
I look up to the sky
Another life is waiting on the outside
I've waited for this moment for so long
Turn out the light, let's get moving on

We'll keep on riding into the storm
This is a breakout
We can't stop 'till we reach daylight
I want to see your face for the last time
We can't stop 'cos we are oh so far from home

And as we run into the crossfire
We were just about to breakout
Shot down in flames tonight
You won't stop running

Innocence is something that escapes me
I was found guilty by men without reason
They say they know the truth, I say they lie
Their system put me on the inside
If there's a way, I'm sure we're gonna find it
Turn out the light, let's get moving out

We'll keep on riding into the storm
This is a breakout
We can't stop, we can't run no more
We'll keep on riding into the storm
This is a breakout
We can't stop 'till we reach daylight
I wanna see your face for the last time


8. SOUL BREAKER

Look out soul breaker no one gets out alive
Ball breaker, soul taker
Hunts you down lie a killer
Leaving no stone left unturned
He'll find you out then it's too late

Open fire
We don't fear you
We have survived your hell

Standing on a razor, which way will I fall?
The side you're on is the killer one
Side step the true nature of your business here
But we know what you do
Waster, sweet soul breaker

Open fire
We don't fear you
We have survived your hell

I blacked out from the violence
And I'm never coming round
I won't fight anymore, no more
You put your claws in me and you drag me down
I was going anyway
I want you, soul breaker

Open fire
We don't fear you
We have survived your hell


9. THE LAST SONG

Another nation gone to hell
We'd sell our sex but sex don't sell
But there's a way of that I'm sure
Let's burn the cars and save the world

Get on the inside, you wanna be outside
You got one life, do you wanna be dead on time?

We put our trust in our machines
They cannot breathe, they're just machines
And what of politicians?
Do I have to say it's bullshit?

Get on the inside, you wanna be outside
You got one life, do you wanna be dead on time?

Here lies the truth, it's at your feet
Kick down the door and set yourself free
But there's too much information
I no longer think for myself

Get on the inside, you wanna be outside
You got one life, do you wanna be dead on time?

We're going down

I'm going down, I'm going down, I'm going down, I'm going down


10. WHEN THE WATER GETS TOO HIGH

Maybe I am down and too lonely to have my friends around
There's no laughter in this part of town
I've seen my best years walk by
People have a habit of leaving me
And if you're looking for trouble you'll find it here
I really don't know where to begin
But lord I'm trying

Stay the hand that stops the tide
Stop the wheel that spins the sky
Could I be worth saving in this state of mind?
Could you pull me out when the water gets too high?

Not so long ago, those close to me should have known
That I was strung out on a low
This broken man lies bleeding
How could I explain that I wanted to live?
When it took all my time just to breathe back in
Could you remember me in some other way?
If I did anything that could be remembered

Stay the hand that stops the tide
Stop the wheel that spins the sky
Could I be worth saving in this state of mind?
Could you pull me out when the water gets too high?
