Another day
and I escape from the rank and file
I'm blown away
I like the way you look at me and smile
a common string
for both of us its always been the key
a funny thing
I close my eyes and suddenly I see

and I fold inside
and I fold inside
a Bet placed on me
will Ride

In the lights
I see my dreams before my very eyes
No need to fight
I do away with my old disguise
The stars above
are all the ones that have come before
With all my love
I turn the knob and open up the door

and I fold inside
and I fold inside
a Bet placed on me
will Ride

Little Faces
face the day, face the dawn
Little Fingers
clutching life, holding on

I cry, cry for this past
I pray, this will be the last

Bomb Flashes
flashes power, flashes here
Little Faces
once flashed smiles, now flash fear

I cry, cry for this past
I pray, this will be the last

Little Fingers
clutching nothing, lifeless
Little Faces
turned to heaven, expressionless

Now... You have passed
through the Grasp
of Earth's Fingers
Take... Peace and Rest
from the Breath
on which You
linger


We lift you up... on high
We lift you up, lift you up
Higher, Higher, Above


the Tears... that Fall
You feel them all
and the love that brings them
You Move... through a Light
made warm and bright
by all
you've given

I want to see... what's inside you
I want to... breathe you in
I want to... hear what you're thinking
I need to know... what's within


are you hollow inside
like my Porcelain Bride


I want to lay down... beside you
I want... these words to mend
I want... these scars to grow faded
I need... this battle to end


are you hollow inside
like my Porcelain Bride

I set aside... the strength of my pride
an open book... so much to confide
I fear I'll find... I'm empty inside
just like my....
Porcelain Bride


I want the choice... that decides you
I want... a light to shine
I want... my kiss to find you
I need... that gift to be mine


are you hollow inside
like my Porcelain Bride

Just like that, in a blink of an eye
You somehow manage to Justify
Sending someone off to die
To carry on your moral fight

Are you Listening?
Do you hear them Die?
Fighting in your War
What are you Wishing for?
and the Violence
Hurts to the Core
What are you Wishing for?

You don't have to be the one
To break the News about his Son
but You'll hang in there till You're Done
Even if it can't be Won

Are you Listening...

You don't hear the People's Voice
and we're not given Any Choice
Just go to Work and Pay Your Tax
Then go home and Grind Your Axe

Are you Listening...

Its been since I had you
That I need you
Can I have you... now
I want to sing you
live you, breathe you
Let me have you... now


I want these thoughts to come
with no thought at all
I want these sounds to enfold
I wait for their call


You were right beside me
deep inside me
Can I find you... now
Its love that moves you
Peace Breathes thru you
Let me find you... now


I want these thoughts to come
with no thought at all
I want these sounds to enfold
I wait for their call


Its been since I had you
That I need you
Can I have you... now
Let me have you... now
I want to have you
now

Listen... the bells are tolling
So many dreams are falling
and from the West I see
I see
War-bound Soldiers

I hear the Earth a-crying
for all Her children dying
and from the North I see
I see
War-bound Soldiers


but these are daughters
these are sons
protecting Peace
with their guns
and to the death
they are told to fight
as if
that could prove who's right


Above the sky is screaming
poor Freedom, she is bleeding
and from the East I see
I see
War-bound Soldiers

As sure as this world is turning
they fuel that fire so it keeps burning
so from the South I see
I see
War-bound Soldiers

She's got.... Cocaine Nails
She brings me thrills
but when she's gone....
I got them Blues

She's got... Whiskey Eyes
a Laughing Disguise
but when she's gone....
I got them Blues


I'll be
Livin it Down
till
I am Gone


Though her.. Heart is kind
She's got a Devil's Mind
She takes what she wants...
and leaves them Blues

the... Time of Her Touch
its Never Enough
and when she's gone....
I got them Blues


I'll be
Livin it Down
till
I am Gone

All Night
I walk this floor
Blood on my Hands
but none on my Door

Like a Fire
The Son, he does rise
I can't see my Fate
there is Smoke in my Eyes


Ashes to Ashes
Dust to Dust
Return unto the Earth
theses Bodies Must

All Night
I walk this floor
Blood on my Hands
but none on my Door

what can it be... that starts this rotation?
how can I see... til I reach the horizon?
cause I feel... not a part of life.

I hear... the storms in the distance,
I fear... all that lies ahead,
but I stay steady... on this path of right

the road goes on forever... the road is long
the road is dangerous... but I'm guided by this
song

I need... to get ahead of this rotation,
I feel... I can pull it along,
and spread... a little bit of strength

I give... all that's inside me,
I steal... some hope for myself,
but I stay steady... on this path of right

the road goes on forever... the road is long
the road is dangerous... but I'm guided by this
song

What can it be... that starts this rotation...
