1. THE TEST OF TIME

Every day, flows to another
Every night, turns another page
Every step, into tomorrow
Takes me back, to where I was before

Closer and closer I race towards the edge
Watching tomorrow slip through my hands
Faster and faster the sands seem to flow
Headed for nowhere on this never ending road

Running out of time
Running out of

Here we stand, at the crossroads
Silence now, only builds a wall
With every choice, comes indecision
Wasting time, afraid of letting go

Closer and closer I race towards the edge
Watching tomorrow slip through my hands
Faster and faster the sands seem to flow
Headed for nowhere on this never ending road

Running out of time
Running out of

All my life, at the crossroads
Undecided, on which way to go
And just as I, reach a decision
Time passes by, and closes the door


2. UNCERTAIN REALITY

November rain begins to fall
What once was clear now I don't see at all
The answer seems so far away
Indecision my reality

No way out - No way in
Can't let go - Of uncertain reality

Who am I and what lies beyond
In the hourglass the sands will fall
The more I learn the less I know
Which way to turn which way to go

No way out - No way in
Can't let go - Of uncertain reality

Day after day, I walk this lonely road
Night after night, I keep on losing ground
Year after year, chasing what could be
All of my life, an uncertain reality

On and on the sands will flow
Doubts and fears still cloud my soul
To leave now and walk away
Would only lead to more uncertainty

No way out - No way in
Can't let go - Of uncertain reality

No way out - No way in
Can't let go - Of uncertain reality

Uncertain reality
Uncertain reality


3. WORLD'S APART

Empty dreams, fill your mind
Empty shells, of what was your life
All these years, you survived
Reaching out, for what you left behind

Tension builds, and kills desire
Time stands still, your dreams denied

Nowhere to hide, when your world falls apart
Reach deep inside, when your world falls apart
Change your life, when your world apart
Don't say goodbye, when your world falls apart

Emptiness, fills their lives
All they shared, was a lie
It's too late, they realize
To build a dream, without desire

Tension builds, and kills desire
Time stands still, your dreams denied

Nowhere to hide, when your world falls apart
Reach deep inside, when your world falls apart
Change your life, when your world apart
Don't say goodbye, when your world falls apart

Nowhere to hide, when your world falls apart
Reach deep inside, when your world falls apart
Change your life, when your world apart
Don't say goodbye, when your world falls apart


4. LOST IN THE SHADOWS

Here in the darkness far from the city lights
I stand in the shadow watching the sky
This world keeps on turning and I wonder why
Everything's changing and I've been left behind

Lost in the shadows
Where the lonely spirits hide
Searching or something
To fill the emptiness inside

I can't erase yesterday's mistakes
And I no longer feel the things I used to feel
Some days come easy some hit me hard
And sometimes I wonder just how I got this far

Lost in the shadows
Where the lonely spirits hide
Searching or something
To fill the emptiness inside and

Freedom, is just a step away
Freedom, just trying to find my way

All of my dreams are now lost forever
So here I stand lost in the shadows...

Lost in the shadows
Where the lonely spirits hide
Searching or something
To fill the emptiness inside

Lost in the shadows
Where the lonely spirits hide
Searching or something
To fill the emptiness inside


5. TO LIVE AGAIN

Just one more look back
Before I leave forever
I know that life
Gives no guarantees

Time and time again
We question the changes in our
Lives and time again
We lose faith in ourselves

One more night
One more dream
One more chance
To live again

Just one more chance
To reach deep within me
And find the strength
To face another day

Time and time again
We question the changes in our
Lives and time again
We lose faith in ourselves

One more night
One more dream
One more chance
To live again


6. SOLACE

(Instrumental)


7. THE LIGHTER SIDE OF DARKNESS

I feel the force around me
I see a blood red sky
No more tears for the dying
I've been left behind

The lighter side of darkness - Is here

No more chance of salvation
Can't face another day
Final curtain rising
On the enemy within

The lighter side of darkness

Now I see a new horizon
Rising in the east
Changing my perspective
On how I used to feel
Now I finally realize
The lighter side of darkness
Was just the fear
Of life's uncertainties


8. SECRET VISIONS

Standing alone
In the shadows
Watching the darkness
End another day
Wish I was somewhere
Where my nightmares can't follow
Waiting for someone
To show me the way

Secret visions
Show me the way
To new tomorrows
Today

The love that we used to share
Has silently slipped away
Leaving a fragile heart
With pain and despair
Wish I could find the place
Where love has no pain
And the lost and forgotten
Learn to live again

Secret visions
Show me the way
Through the darkness

Secret visions
Show me the way
To new tomorrows
Worlds away


9. SEASONS OF CHANGE

Seasons of change let go of yesterday
Try and find your way

Whispers on the wind calling your name
Can't you hear them saying it's time for a change
So open up your eyes and begin to realize
Like the falling of the tide the pain can wash away

Seasons of change
Letting go of yesterday
Seasons of change
Calling your name
Seasons of change
Time forgives the pain
Seasons of change

Broken homes and families generations of life
Innocence lost in children's eyes from the pain they feel
Inside
To those of them who've survived the pain in the parting
Of the two
You've made it through another season you know you'll
Make it through

Seasons of change
Letting go of yesterday
Seasons of change
Calling your name
Seasons of change
Time forgives the pain
Seasons of change

You'll make it through another day

When you see the world through different eyes
And begin to face your fears
It's never as bad as it seems
It al becomes so clear
As we live we also learn
Some memories never fade
But if you believe in yourself
You'll make it through the times of change

Seasons of change
Letting go of yesterday
Seasons of change
Calling your name
Seasons of change
Time forgives the pain
Seasons of change

You'll make it through another day


10. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

Silent cries from inside
Fragile child born to die
Can't escape father's rage
Innocence is stripped away

Out of the light into the darkness
Finds a place no once can follow
Scared and alone now he despises
The ones he loved always denied him love ...

Behind closed doors, nothing's sacred anymore
Behind closed doors, a child is torn
A child is torn

Conspiracy of silence falls
Inside walls behind closed doors
Society turns away
Reality won't go away

Out of light into the darkness
Finds a place no once can follow
Into the street's broken and battered
Dying for love nothing else matters now ...

Behind closed doors, nothing's sacred anymore
Behind closed doors, is a world at war
A world at war

Broken dreams fill his veins
Words alone can't wash away
All the years of silent rage
Suicide seemed the only way

Out of light into the darkness
Finds a place no once can follow
Taking his life seemed like the answer
The only way to end his sorrow ...

Behind closed eyes, there's no more tears left to cry
Behind closed eyes, he left the world behind ...


11. THE CALLING

Timeless quest
The search goes on
In the age
Of right and wrong
Leaders speak
The same old song
Selling peace
While selling arms
Justice serves
The rich and strong
Victims lose
In modern law

Can't they see the writing
On the wall
Future is calling
To us all

Wars rage on
In the east
Western world
Occupied by greed
Selling drugs
In the streets
Losing youth
To the new diseases
Say a prayer
For society
In the age
Of uncertainty

Can't they see the writing
On the wall
Future is calling
To us all

The calling....
