1. NOWHERE TO HIE

The masses now will share the crime
too late for the mercy call
How many times did we see the axe
But still we left it fall
Now they knowledge runs so deep
Every secret cannot keep
The danger lies in every wake
But still the nations sleep
It's over now so many years
The master race never won
For mans attempt of playing god
The nightmare has begun

Nowhere to hide
No one to call
In this world you're now alone with
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide
No one to call
If you wake inside your dream
There is nothing at all

This fearsome sight this light of beauty
The power inside the fire and fury
Now the day can never come
The night has finally won
A shadow that may last eternally
This fearsome sight this light of beauty
The power inside the fire and fury

The deadly silence echoes all around
The final verse in history

When it comes there'll be no warning
When it comes there may be no sight nor sound
The heart will search for memories
The fading of the abyss
Through emptiness its hard to see
A victory............A victory in tears

Nowhere to hide
No one to call
In this world you're now alone with
Nowhere to hide
Nowhere to hide
No one to call
If you wake inside your dream
There is nothing at all
This fearsome sight this light of beauty
The power inside the fire and fury


2. CRUEL WINTER

Call in the dark........Call in the dark

The eye's were lost in anger
The mind had found its fare
To escape this life of fury
There was nothing more to hear
A sentence of extremity
A challenge one too much
Maybe I was no believer
But how I feared your fateful touch

Past and present what do you see
Escaping to my history
Searching for reasons searching for light
Still within my longest night

How can your world still keep on turning
How can you see when your visions,
They're all gone
The cold in the heart the loneliness
Longs for tomorrow
In this winter so cruel

A quest for our survival
We do the things we must
When life becomes the hunter
Your very soul you may not trust
It all seems so familiar
I was there just yesterday
No escaping from reality
Retribution has no say

Past and present what do you see
Escaping to my history
Searching for reasons searching for light
Still within my longest night

How can your world still keep on turning
How can you see when your visions,
They're all gone
The cold in the heart the loneliness
Longs for tomorrow
In this winter so cruel, this winter so long


3. THE CLOCKTOWER

Now I see your face so bright and clear
Your hands that dance so well
Like myself your motion may not last
The final striking of the bell

Hide my from my memories
Part me from my soul
But the pendulum of life will carry on

Although my days are numbered
I won't count them one by one
The sympathy I leave to you
Are you the friend I never had and never will
A taste of life just will not do
All these years 'd learnt the rules of life
But again I'm a child
I'm about to make..........The next step in time

Times hides the answers
Time holds the truth
Time is the enemy hidden from our youth
Hide me from my memories
Part me from my soul
But the pendulum of life will carry on

Open the doors open my history
So many thoughts, so few of which I care
I see what I've missed and it's common to us all
It's time that we will always share
All these years 'd learnt the rules of life
But again I'm a child
I'm about to make..........The next step in time

Times hides the answers
Time holds the truth
Time is the enemy hidden from our youth
Hide me from my memories
Part me from my soul
But the pendulum of life will carry on

Times hides the answers
Time holds the truth
Time is the enemy

I'm about to make...........The next step in time


4. CAN'T STOP THE FIRE

I can't stop the fire, it's burning in me
I wasn't to be free

Oh, what can I do, now that we're through
You're still on my mind
Time after time
I remember the fights through these
Sleepless nights
I have to move on now that you're gone

There's a world out there I have to find
And without you I know deep inside
And right now My destiny's calling

I can't stop the fire, it's burning in me
I wasn't to be free
I can't stop the fire, it's hiring me
Please set me free

Oh, life must go on there's no turning back
The love that you give me was your greatest act
I see through you now I'm nobody's fool
The way that you treat me, so clever so cruel

There's a world out there I have to find
And without you I know deep inside
And right now My destiny's calling

I can't stop the fire, it's burning in me
I wasn't to be free
I can't stop the fire, it's hiring me
Please set me free

This feeling inside I just cannot hide
The anger still burning
And who is this man this man that you see
The answer is me


5. FUTURE OF THE WORLD

There's a dream that I have on my mind
And it's becoming very clear
It's a dream so very heard to find
No more sorrow no more fear

Take away the evil from our world
Take away these troubled times
Take the badness and keep love alive
Peace on earth for all mankind

People walk without a care,
Children laughing everywhere
Dreaming of the future of the world
Break the chains that hold you down,
Cries of freedom all around
Dreaming of the future of the world

We must fight to keep this dream alive
We must show them all the way
Come together and we will survive
Lead them to another day

The light shining down on me,
It gives me strength to carry on
We are the future now it's plain to see
We can change right from wrong

No more fighting in this world today
No more anger, no more tears
There must be a better way for us
For our children's coming years

Take away the evil from our world
Take away these troubled times
Take the badness and keep love alive
Peace on earth for all mankind


6. WHENEVER I'M LOST

Now looking back through all the years
That have come and gone
There was a time, I never need anyone
A circle of friends, a love never ends
How could I ever lose
But then came the day, that I had to pay
I am a man accused
Now that I know, oh yes I know it's over

Whenever I'm lost I look for you
Whenever I'm down I think of you
Whenever I'm lonely it's you that I want
Just to hold me when I'm feeling down

When you're far away I run to you
When you go astray I wait for you
When you're here with me it's so easy to see
You give me the strength that I need

I can't explain, how a life can change so east
Building my dreams or so it seems
On a love your hope will last
It's breaking my heart to make a new start
How can I ever win
Then you came along and made me feel strong
My life can now begin
And now that I know , oh yes I know you are
My strength within

Stay with me a little while
You make my life so bright
Let me see your little smile
You make everything all right
Come to me, I need you now
Don't go away I need you here by my side


7. YOU'LL NEVER KNOW

Piece by piece I ebbed away, your tide I'd never tame
Who was this total stranger
The stranger I became
Questioning what's right for us,
Each fragment that we see
Is life built o emotion so fragile both may be

The fight between the mind and heart it took
So many years
Contemplating good and bad, hiding from the fears
Scared to take the final bow, wade into the shore
I wanted back my mind and soul
Convinced there could be more

You'll never know why I'm crying now
Out from the chains had dragged me down
You'll never know what your madness meant to me
My mind is free, but my heart is sorry now

Was I just a savior, was just a friend
Caught between your misery and the lies that
Never end
I fought a mighty ocean though I could not
Beat the stream
Years I spent denying that this game was
Just a dream

You'll never know why I'm crying now
Out from the chains had dragged me down
You'll never know what your madness meant to me
My mind is free, but my heart is sorry now


8. RIVER OF HOPE

They came down from the mountains
Poured in from the sea
They came to cross the border
This river of misery
The skies that burn so brightly
Your lives are left far behind
The future left in the hand of god
This road that runs so blind

The children's eyes show confusion
Blinded by cause for despair
There's no place you can hide anywhere
You know all the answers
Heard them before
Now live for today believing no more

Silently, you call with your heart
River of hope, river of pain and misery

Waiting for tomorrow
The hope that it may bring
A test that finds the soul so deep
The wind beneath your wing
Running from the firing line
The blood of ones you knew
What was the call..........A call for mercy
What it was would never do

The children's eyes show confusion
Blinded by cause for despair
There's no place you can hide anywhere
You know all the answers
Heard them before
Now live for today believing no more

Silently, you call with your heart
River of hope, river of pain and misery
The deafness of man it now defies you
The prize of war can never be found
River of hope , river of pain and misery
Can your will now survive, can you ever
Trust again

Your lives are now forgotten
A hundred years are gone
Remembrance of the sacrifice
The heat will always be strong

River of hope , river of pain and misery
Can your will now survive, can you ever
Trust again
River of hope , river of pain and misery
Take me home take me back to my destiny


9. NAKED

Build me a rocket to heaven
Throw me a rope down from the sky
Will I ever be forgiven
If I could only learn to fly
And in these dreams I hear you calling me
I hear you calling my name... I feel the pain

I feel so naked, I'm naked without you
I feel so naked, what more can I do
Stripped of all my virtues and my pride
I feel so naked, without you by my side

Lost in a sea of confusion
So lost and I just can't find my way
I chase the elusive illusion
I know I'll catch up with you some day
Your eyes will always be a mystery
Without you my life's not the same
And in these dreams I hear you constantly
I hear you crying my name... again and again

I feel so naked, I'm naked without you
I feel so naked, what more can I do
Stripped of all my virtues and my pride
I feel so naked, without you by my side
I feel so naked, I'm naked without you
I feel so naked, what more can I do
Stripped of all my virtues and my pride
I feel so naked, without you by my side

(Instrumental)

If a diamond is forever, can't a ruby be as well
We should have been together
But who could ever tell
Are we all Gods creatures on this cold forsaken land
There are many, many preachers
Try to make me understand
You can see the new frontier
Now the must has finally lifted
But your path is still so unclear

Without your ashes there'd be nothing left to hold
And without this memory I'd be left out in the cold
So can anybody out there even begin to understand
Just what it's like to have your won flesh and blood
Ripped right from your hands

Welcome to my nightmare
Welcome to my hell
Welcome to my misery
A story I can tell
Free me from this prison
Free me from this torment
Please free me from this spell
Open up the heavens
Open up your skies
Open up your kingdom you call your paradise
Take away my sorrow
Take the pain away
Take away the sadness
Leave me naked with dreams of yesterday


10. S.O.S.

Scared to stand up to their imminent fate
Maybe we left it a little too late
How did we fail in this ultimate lesson of love
Look at the present take in past
How did you ever expect it to last
Still there is hope if we trust
In the forces above

Can you hear us calling......

Save our souls
We're crying to the universe
Save our souls
Can't you hear our S.O.S.

Once it was heaven and now this is hell
Life is a story you never can tell
If time is a healer then why should
The innocent die
Many a warning was taken in jest
Now we are faced with the ultimate test
What can we do but pray through
The hole in the sky

What will become of the innocent one
What will become of the prodigal sin
And what has become of the race
That decided to run
For the damage is already done

S.O.S.
Hear our call for mercy
S.O.S.
Save our souls

Save our souls
We're crying to the universe
Save our souls
Can't you hear our S.O.S.
