1. GREAT ADVENTURE

I looked the lights, as it faded fast (darker)
Where am I going, no one tells me
A journey far beyond my dreams (harder)
Everyone knowing no one can see

Beneath me flows a silver sea (deeper)
Deeper than ever, take me over
Above me miles and miles of sky (higher)
Forbidden treasure, don't grow older

How could it take so long to decide?
Now I've made up my mind, to sail for
Great adventure - claim your lonely years
Great adventure - save your only tears

Well I looked the lights, as it faded fast, ooh, darker
Where am I going, no one tells me
A journey far beyond my dreams, ooh, harder
Everyone knowing no one can see

Across the universe we reach, further
Until we've found what we are seeking
Within ourselves our future lies, oh, waiting
For a solution, none repeating

How could it take so long to decide?
Now I've made up my mind to sail for
Great adventure - claim your lonely years
Great adventure - save your only tears


2. BACK TO EARTH

I miss those evenings and the company
When lights go down around this place
The nights are long and go on endlessly
And I forget the human race

But there's one thing that brings me back to earth
Please tell her...

Tell her I need her, tell her I want her
Tell her I miss her more, everyday
Tell her I need her, ooh, tell her I want her
Tell her I miss her more, everyday

I take the days and spend them crazily
Could be the last ones of my life
And what I thought that would be ecstasy
Holds no surprise, but still shines bright

But there's one thing that brings me back to earth
Please tell her...

Tell her I need her, tell her I want her
Tell her I miss her more, everyday
Tell her I need her, ooh, tell her I want her
Tell her I miss her more, everyday

Ooh, time comes, time goes, sunlight, shadows
I need her with me, all too clearly, everybody knows

Tell her I need her, tell her I want her
Tell her I miss her more and more, everyday
Tell her I need her, ooh, tell her I want her
Tell her I miss her more and more, everyday


3. 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


4. ALL THAT IS REAL

Did you ever give all of your heart and your soul for Something?
Then they're torn up into pieces one by one
Have you ever considered or promised your faith undying?
Has it ended in a moment for someone?
Because all that is right, all that is real
All that is love, all that you feel
Does not always come true
Does not always come true

Though you learn by the things that you did and have gone Before you
And you trust that you won't make the same mistakes
By the time that you realize anything you're only half Through
It's the fool who wins for you, it's just too late
Because all that is right, all that is real
All that is love, all that you feel
Does not always come true
Does not always come true

Ask me for answers, none can be heard
Give me your promise, give me your word
Because all that is right, all that is real
All that is love, all that you feel
Does not always come true
Does not always come true
Does not always come true
Does not always come true
Oh yeah, yeah
Does not always come true
Does not always come true


5. 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


6. THE BATTLE

Move like the wind, burn like the sun
Cool like the rain, fool everyone
Fly like a bird, steal like a fox
Jump like a clown, pull like the ox

Be like the storm, scream to the gods
Hide all your fears, oh, brother of dogs
Crimson the blood of soldier and lord
None to excuse, death the reward

Still they are quickly falling
Down on their knees they're crawling
Now there will be no morning
There'll be no new day dawning for me

There'll be no new day dawning for me

Move like the wind, burn like the sun
Cool like the rain, fool everyone
Fly like a bird, steal like a fox
Jump like a clown, pull like the ox

Ooh! Yeah


7. SO FAR AWAY

A sensitive time approaches just before dawn
That carries them further to nowhere
The field will be gorged upon the sacrifice made
Despite all their efforts to take care

There's no talk about anyone
Lying out in the rain
They're quite certain to carry on
Though it's clearly insane

So please don't praise those mindless games
With reckless claims
Of glory and fame

Talons of steel will seek them out on the day
Intent upon venting its fury
Onward they move and with complete disregard
Of danger while doing their duty

Still no talk about anyone
Lying wounded in pain
Hearts stop beating is this the one
To carry somebody's name

So please don't praise those mindless games
With reckless claims
Of glory and fame

Mighty and strong
So very young
There they will stay
So far away


8. THE WORD

Wait here's a word or two
To you who are passing through
Time is on your side
Though some may be denied

Just waiting standing around
The time will come for everyone
Still waiting soon to be found
The light inside of everyone

Nobody said that it was easy
Making your way all by yourself
But you take what you've got
Though it don't seem a lot
And you give it the best that you can

Life is a precious thing
So don't burn it up
Start living it day by day

Though we must carry on
In time we will think upon
All those peaceful nights
When everything went right


9. EVERYBODY NEEDS

If you've never made a fool of me
If you've never had
But you did know and I could see
Now it's making you sad
Well, it's making you sad

Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone to love

When you're letting every day go by
Like water through your hands
No, you'll never get it back again
Do you understand?
Do you understand?

Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone to love

'Cause there's never been nobody alive
Who can practice everything they've learned
But there's a lot of people who survive
When they've given everything they've earned

Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone
Everybody needs someone to love


10. ON THE EDGE OF THE WORLD

In midnight skies burn on many stories untold
On icy nights winds blow that touch everyone
You still think you are so far away
But you pay the dearest price of us all
'Cause you stand on the edge of the world
And you're dreaming all your precious time away
Dreaming all your precious time away
Morning comes so soon too bright in your eyes
Talking to yourself you don't even try
There alone where no-one bothers you
You can stay a thousand miles from us all
And in this world you sleep ignoring
Another night has passed
This endless sleep might be rewarding
Don't let it be your last


11. INVASION

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!


12. 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


13. 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


14. ONE NIGHT OF PASSION

The wheels of fortune
Have snapped your fragile thread
One night of passion
Upset your cultured head
But it's okay it's just the fashion

You walk the high roads
Look down upon yourself
Your eyes concealing
Your heart cries out for help
But it's okay it's just a feeling

Someone
Somewhere
Is taking note how you care
Hold on

Your cold tradition
Surrounds you like a wall
Ttoo much to carry
Celestial paramour
You run down persecution alley

Your expectations
The best you ever had
The thought of giving
Is that so really bad
That's just the way it's part of living


15. THE TEACHER

I bring you peace and understanding
I give you freedom from your cares
I bring the truth with no illusion
To give you hope when you despair
I have the secret of the whirlwind
I keep the eagle close at hand
This kingdom tall as any mountain
Will reap the treasure from the land
I am the teacher
I am the teacher
I am the teacher
More than you'll ever know
Everything I can show
I have the answers to all questions
Above us here and far below
No voices will be raised in anger
No cruel ambitions will you show


16. HOLD BACK YOUR LOVE

These long nights as winter comes down
There's fog at the door, you're not around
There's silence, ooh, day after day
The thought of it all slipping away

All my wildest dreams, if they had come true
I'd give them all to you
Ooh, now the darkest nights gather at my side
I'm still confused

So I said is it always the same, can you tell from the Start?
Is there always this pain when you're breaking apart?
She said, can you hold back your love till you're certain It's right
Can you hold back your love for that one special night?

Hold back your love
Hold back your love

These long nights, as winter comes down
There's fog at the door, you're not around
There's silence, ooh, day after day
The thought of it all, slipping away

Is it always the same, can you tell from the start?
Is there always this pain when you're breaking apart?
She said, can you hold back your love, till you're certain It's right
Can you hold back your love for that one special night?

Hold back your love (hold back your love)
Hold back your love (baby, baby, don't rush me)
Hold back your love (listen to me)
(You know I've told you once before) hold back your love (Ooh)


17. 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...


18. FIREBIRD

The secret torn from a temple of stone
Still living in memory grey and so cold
Beneath the veil of the mystery lies
Dark promises telling all none can withhold
Though she carries a thousand scars
On her journey between the stars

Too late I fear is to understand now
We must have been here before, long ago
The faces change but the image remains
All present and powerful, oh this does show
And they can't see before their eyes
How the thunder will split the skies

Firebird, oh firebird
Firebird, oh firebird

And when the changes come
See the eagle on my horizon
Well, they're coming for everyone
But it seems to be long arriving

A mother scorned and a widow she stays
And when you return again you will see
The craven house of the greedy does rule
Queen vanity everywhere bleeds treachery
For the heroes of luck will decide
On the chosen one who will survive

Firebird, oh firebird
Firebird, oh firebird

Firebird, oh firebird
Firebird, oh firebird

Firebird, firebird
Firebird, firebird


19. IF I COULD LIVE FOREVER

Friday night is almost over
Not a word has passed between
And before I get much older
I know if I could live forever
Nothing would change to better
Nothing would change at all
You gave me your love to last me forever I know
You gave me your love to last me wherever I go
Now the world did sell so cheaply
For the price of just a kiss
What should anyone believe me
If again he should embrace you
Would you follow him or stay
Could you take what you would go through
