1. WILDEST DREAMS

I'm gonna organise some changes in my life
I'm gonna exorcise the demons of my past
I'm gonna take the car and hit the open road
I'm feeling ready to just open up and go

And I just feel I can be anything
That I might ever wish to be
And fantasize just what I want to be
Make my wildest dreams come true

I'm on my way - Out on my own again
I'm on my way - Out on the road again

When I remember back to how that things just used to be
And I was struck inside a shroud of misery
I felt I disappeared so deep inside myself
I couldn't find a way to break away the Hell

When I'm feeling down and low
I vow I'll never be the same again
I just remember what I am
And visualize just what I'm gonna be

I'm on my way - Out on my own again
I'm on my way - I'm gonna break away

I'm gonna break away
I'm out on my own
I'm out on my own
Gonna break away
Break them away

I'm on my way - Out on my own again
I'm on my way - Out on the road again

I'm on my way - Out on my own again
I'm on my way - I'm gonna break away


2. RAINMAKER

When I was wandering in the deserta
And was searching for the truth
I heard a choir of Angels calling out my name
I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again
I turn my face towards the barren sun

And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me
And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
And the cracks in our lives like the cracks upon the ground
They are sealed and are now washed away

You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away

You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears...

And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me
And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
And the cracks in the clouds like the cracks are in our lives
They are sealed and are now far away

You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away

You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears...

You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away

You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears...

And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me
And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
And the cracks in the clouds
Like the cracks are in our lives
They are sealed and are now far away


3. NO MORE LIES

There's a darkening sky before me
There's no time to prepare
Salvage a last horizon
But no regrets from me

Maybe I'll be back some other day
To live again just who can say
In what shape or form that I might be
Just another chance for me

A hurried time, no disgrace
Instead of racing to conclusion
And wishing all my life away
No one can stop me now

Time is up, it couldn't last
But there's more things I'd like to do
I'm coming back to try again
Someday maybe I'll wait 'till then

No more lies (x8)

They're all sitting at my table
Talking tall and drinking wine
Their time is up just like me
But they just don't know it yet

So just a word of warning
When you're in your deepest dreams
There's nothing you can hide from
I've got my eye on you

The clock is fast, the hour is near
Eventful past is ever clear
My life is set, the time is here
I think I'm coming home

No more lies (x8)

A hurried time, no disgrace
Instead of racing to conclusion
And wishing all your life away
No-one can stop me now

Time is up, it couldn't last
But there's more things I have to do
I'm coming back to try again
Don't tell me that this is the end

No more lies (x10)

No more lies...


4. PASCHENDALE

In a foreign field he lay
Lonely soldier, unknown grave
On his dying words he prays
Tell the world of Paschendale

Relive all that he's been through
Last communion of his soul
Rust your bullet with his tears
Let me tell you 'bout his years

Laying low in a blood filled trench
Killing time 'till my very own death
On my face I can feel the falling rain
Never see my friends again

In the smoke, in the mud and lead
Smell the fear and the feeling of dread
Soon the time to go over the wall
Rapid fire and the end of us all

Whistles, shouts and more gun fire
Lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire
Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb
Be reunited with my dead friends soon

Many soldiers eighteen years
Drown in mud, no more tears
Surely a war no-one can win
Killing time about to begin

[Chorus:]
Home...
Far away from the war
A chance to live again
Home...
Far away, but the war
No chance to live again

The bodies of ours and our foes
The sea of death it overflows
In no man's land God only knows
Into jaws of death we go

Crucified as if on a cross
Allied troops they mourn their loss
German war propaganda machine
Such before has never been seen

Swear I heard the Angels cry
Pray to God no more may die
So that people know the truth
Tell the tale of Paschendale

Cruelty has a human heart
Every man does play his part
Terror of the men we kill
The human heart is hungry still

I stand my ground for the very last time
Gun is ready as I stand in line
Nervous wait for the whistle to blow
Rush of blood and over we go

Blood is falling like the rain
Its crimson cloak unveils again
The sound of guns can't hide their shame
And so we die on Paschendale

Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire
Running straight at cannon fire
Running blind as I hold my breath
Say a prayer symphony of death

As we charge the enemy lines
A burst of fire and we go down
I choke a cry but no-one hears
Feel the blood go down my throat

[Chorus] (x2)

See my spirit on the wind
Across the lines, beyond the hill
Friend and foe will meet again
Those who died at Paschendale


5. JOURNEYMAN

From the red sky of the East to the sunset in the West
We have cheated death and he has cheated us

But that was just a dream and this is what it means
We are sleeping and we'll dream for evermore

And the fragment remains of our memories
And the shadows we made with our hands
Deeper grey came to mourn, all the colours of the dawn
Will this journeyman's day be his last?

[Chorus:]
I know what I want and I say what
I want and no one can take it away (x4)
Oh !

But the memory still remains all the past years
Not so strange
Our winter times are like a silent shroud

And the heartbeat of the day drives the mist away
And winter's not the only dream around

In your life you may choose desolation
And the shadows you build with your hands
If you turn to the light that is burning in the night
Then your journeyman's day has begun

[Chorus]

In your life you may choose desolation
And the shadows you build with your hands
If you turn to the light that is burning in the night
Then your journeyman's day has begun

[Chorus]
