WAYWARD SON
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more�Once I rose above the noise and confusion
Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion
I was soaring ever higher
But I flew too high�
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man
Though my mind could think I still was a mad man
I hear the voices when I'm dreaming
I can hear them say�Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more�Masquerading as a man with a reason
My charade is the event of the season
And if I claim to be a wise man
It surely means that I don't know�
On a stormy sea of moving emotion
Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean
I set a course for winds of fortune
But I hear the voices say�Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
No!�Carry on
You will always remember
Carry on
Nothing equals the splendorNow your life's no longer empty
Surely heaven waits for you�Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest
Don't you cry no more
Play The Game Tonight
You think that something's happening�
And it's bigger than your life
But it's only what you're hearing
Will you still remember
When the morning light has come
Will the songs be playing over and over
Till you do it all over againPlay, play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right
It is worth the time, is it worth the price
Do you see yourself in a white spotlight
Then play the game tonightAnd when the curtains open
To the roaring of the crowd
You will feel it all around you
Then it finally happens
And it's all come true for you
And the songs are playing over and over
Till you do it over againPlay, play the game tonight
Can you tell me if it's wrong or right
It is worth the time, is it worth the price
Do you see yourself in a white spotlight
Then play the game tonight
The Wall
�I'm woven in a fantasy, I can't believe the things I see the path that I have chosen now has led me to a wall
And with each passing day I feel a little more like something dear was lost it rises now before me, a dark and silent barrier between, all I am, and all that I would ever want be
It's just a travesty, towering, marking off the boundaries my spirit would erase�To pass beyond is what I seek, I fear that I may be too weak and those are few who've seen it through to glimpse the other side,
The promised land is waiting like a maiden that is soon to be a bride
The moment is a masterpiece, the weight of indecision's in the air it's standing there, the symbol and the sum of all that's me
It's just a travesty, towering, blocking out the light and blinding meI want to see�
Gold and diamonds cast a spell, it's not for me I know it well the riches that I seek are waiting on the other side
There's more that I can measure in the treasure of the love that I can findAnd though it's always been with me,
I must tear down the Wall and let it be
All I am, and all that I was ever meant to be, in harmony
Shining true and smiling back at all who wait to cross there is no loss
Point Of Know Return
I heard the men saying something The captains tell they pay you well And they say they need sailing men to Show the way, and leave today�Was it you that said, "How long, how long?" They say the sea turns so dark that You know it's time, you see the sign They say the point demons guard is An ocean grave, for all the brave,
Was it you that said, "How long, how long, How long to the point of know return?"
Your father, he said he needs you Your mother, she says she loves you Your brothers, they echo your words:
"How far to the point of know return?"
"Well, how long?"
Today I found a message floating In the sea from you to me It said that when you could see it You cried with fear, the Point was near
Was it you that said, "How long, how longTo the Point of Know Return?"
Portrait (He Knew)
He had a thousand ideas You might have heard his name He lived alone with his vision Not looking for fortune and fameNever said too much to speak of He was off on another plain The words that he said were a mystery Nobody's sure he was sane
But he knew Knew more than me or you No one could see his view Where was he going to?
He was in search of an answer The nature of what we are He was trying to do it a new way He was bright as a star
But nobody understood him His numbers are not the way He's lost in the deepest enigma That no one's unraveled today
But he knew He knew more than me or you No one could see his view Oh, where was he going to?
And he tried But before he could tell us he died When he left us the people cried Where was he going to? Oh....
He had a different idea A glimpse of the master plan He could see into the future A true visionary man
But there's something he never told us It died when he went away If only he could have been with us No telling what he might say
But he knew
He knew more than me or you No one could see his view Where was he going to?
But he knew
You could tell by the picture he drew It was totally something new Oh, where was he going to? Oh....
Dust In The Wind
I close my eyes, only for a moment, and the moment's gone All my dreams, pass before my eyes, a curiosityDust in the wind, all they are is dust in the wind
Same old song, just a drop of water in an endless sea All we do, crumbles to the ground, though we refuse to see
Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind
Don't hang on, nothing lasts forever but the earth and sky It slips away, all your money won't another minute buy
Dust in the wind, All we are is dust in the wind
Journey From Mariabronn
Two began together, lived as oneEach one to the other had become
More than a friend, living to meet a common end
They were true, each one knew all is well�
Still the elder knew it could not last
Hidden memories from the young one's past
Drew them apart
Both knew that deep within his heart they must part
Each their own separate way�
It puzzles me how we can be so close and yet worlds apart
Can it be, my memory has torn my life in two
From the very start
I screamed for the devil to let me be
I called to the heavens to set me free
Today I prayed for the answer and not one
Of the gods in the sky would rescue me�
Dreams of fortune fill the young one's mind
Learn the worldly ways of hope to find
Love on the way, searching to find the light of day
In his soul he had found his own way�
But to each other they soon will return
Destiny fulfilled, their words will burn an eternal flame
The Pinnacle
I've so much to say, and yet I cannot speak�
Come and do my bidding now for I have grown too weak
My weary eyes have seen all that life can give
Come to me, O young one, for you I can forgive�
I stood where no man goes, and conquered demon foes
With glory and passion no longer in fashion
The hero breaks his blade�Cast this shadow long that I may hide my face
And in this cloak of darkness the world I will embrace
In all that I endure, of one thing I am sure
Knowledge and reason change like the season
A jester's promenade�Lying at my feet I see the offering you bring
The mark of Cain is on our faces, borne of suffering
O, I long to see you say it's not been wrongI stand before you now, a riddle in my song
The answer is that sweet refrain
Unheard it always will remain
Beyond our reach, beyond our gain�Trapped in life's parade, a king without a crown
In this joy of madness, my smile might seem a frown
With talons wrought of steel, I tore the heart of doom
And in one gleaming moment I saw beyond the tomb
I stood where no man goes, above the din I roseLife is amusing though we are losing
Drowned in tears of awe.
Apercu
The mist of time is still concealing
The vision that I seek
Those who died have all borne witness
If only they would speak
Yet I saw it all inside me, for a momentWere you with me?
Have we done it all before, is there really so much more?�
Now and then we've all been given
A glimpse of bygone days
I'd give all to see it clearly
Not shrouded in the haze
Yet I saw it all inside me, for a momentWere you with me?
Have we done it all before, is there really so much more?�
Each man has a memory
Much more than the eye can see
Yet still others linger deep inside you
Haunting thoughts of pain and joy divide youLook beyond your eyes
At the dark and moody skies
For they're standing in your way
And I feel the light of day�Now the earth gives forth its secrets
Held in mountain sea and plain
They have never been forgotten
Only locked inside my brainWhile I slept I had a vision, I remember
You were with me
We have done it all before, in our minds behind the door
Belexes
Oh, I cannot tell you to make up your mind
And gather together the best of your kindThe prophets have spoken the words of ill fate
Your childhood has ended you've taken the baitYou've got the power it's there deep inside
Just look around and you'll know what you've triedSo much relies on the course that you take
The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah�Look at the heads buried deep in the sand
Hiding from evil made by their own handThe prophets have spoken the words of ill fate
Your childhood has ended you've taken the baitYou've got the power it's there deep inside
Just look around and you'll know what you've triedSo much relies on the course that you take
The fool and the wise man both burn at the stake-ah
Cheyenne Anthem�
From the mountains to the sun, Life has only just begun.We wed this land and pledge our souls to meet its end,
Cheyenne Anthem�Life has only just begunHere my people roam the earth, in the kingdom of our birth,
Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun
We are mighty on the earth, on the earth�You have come to move me, take me from my ancient home,
Land of my fathers I can't leave you now
We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're onNow the wheels are rolling hear the howling winds of war
It's my destiny to fight and dieIs there no solution, can we find no other way, Lord let me stay
Under the endless sky and the earth below
Here I was born to live and I will never go, oh no�But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains
Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising�
Soon these days shall pass away, for our freedom we must pay
All our words and deeds are carried on the wind,
In the ground our bodies lay, here we lay
Mysteries and Mayhem
�Well I'm trying to tell you about a thing I thought I saw
It came to me in a dream one night
When a voice began to callI heard my name being summoned as I looked around to see
A hooded judge and jury
There was no mercy there for meWell I can't make it, I just can't figure it out
This dream is drivin' me crazy
I gotta know what it's all aboutThe mark is upon me, and the mark of Cain brings fear�
A cold wind's blowin' right down my back
I'm runnin, I'm runnin' from a figure that's dressed in black
I think my legs are made out of lead
Cause I'm runnin' but I'm going nowhereThe bad dream is coming closer and closer
I got a feelin' he'll always be there
Forever is a long time to spend in agony
And the demons of confusion have got a place for meThe mark is upon me, and the mark of Cain brings fear�
I was tired, so tired of runnin'
I had to turn and look around
I saw eyes that looked right through me
And a voice that made no soundMy body froze and I stood and stared, unearthly face before me
From the depths of a hooded nightmare, I saw what could not beMysteries and mayhem from the pinnacle I see
There's no answer when there's no question
The mark of Cain bears hard on me
No One Together
�Centuries of backward ways, have many left behind us
Who can count the good men gone away
The fruits of all our labors have left us as we started
We've come too far to end it in a day It seems that everything we do is wrongA one way trip to nowhere all along
Just look around and tell me what you see
Another stupid page of history(Chorus)
No one together,
No one is touching ground
Look to each other,
Chaos is all aroundSame situation,
Nothing is really new
No one together,
No one is me and youLo the horn of plenty is bursting at the seam
The harvest of the world will be our prize
We claim to know the secrets, the answers have been found
But how can one fool make another wise
'Cause nothing's better than it used to be
To live and die is still a mysteryWe take away and we give nothing back
We just consume it all and still we lack(Chorus)
Each day passed by so quickly now
You can feel it drawing much closer now
The signs are in the faces of the people in the streetThe signs are in the sound I hear
The voices filled with hate and fear
You can feel it drawing near you nowThe multitudes are searching, and wandering in vain
For what they seek cannot be found in men
The truth that lies before us now is plain for all to seeTo grow without is not to grow within
For in the promise is a victory
To see the way that everything should be
To feel the joy that we were meant to knowWe should have realized so long ago
We're all together,
Harmony will abound'
Look at each other,All that was lost is found
New situation if our direction's true
We're all together,
Everyone is me and you
Power
Sometimes a smile can deceive the one who has made you promise�Suddenly you can't believe, the truth only leaves you cold
Sometimes the answers you fear are there on the face in the mirror
Something the world needs to hear but no one is even listening
Power
It takes Power
Power It takes
PowerTo back up the things you say
Power It takes
Power
Power It takes
PowerTo cut through the chains
Breakaway
Fortune can wear a disguise
Pride is a grand illusionAnd when it's your name up in lights fate proves this one conclusion
Sometimes the answers you fear are there on the face in the mirror
Something the world needs to hear the truth only leaves you cold
Power
It takes Power
Power
It takes PowerTo back up the things you say
Power
It takes Power
Power
It takes PowerTo cut through the chains
Breakaway
Power
It takes Power
Power
It takes PowerTo fight back and not be afraid
Power
It takes Power
Power
It takes PowerTo cut through the chains
Breakaway
All that you see someday will be
Lost in the shadows of timeMountains must fall someday this all
Will be darkness where light used to shine
