Compilation CD (2)

I stand on a world
Where dreams, realities, existence are the same
We take from the mother’s skin
But the world is not to blame

Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don’t know
So who can stop the rain?
We’ve lost the path for all we know
Now tell me when will it start again?
And as the old man lifts his hands
Please can you stop the rain?

Stars fall far away
Like they never did before
A new moon shining
Like it never will again

Desert white cloud
Spirits they sing
Rain falls from the big sky
Onto broken wing

There is no sense in turning back
To wash the debris from the track
World without fears without rhyme
We fought for peace within our time

Heaven On Earth
(Payne/Nye)

I am caught in the heat
Hold your head as you sleep
How can I close my eyes watching you
Such a fever inside from emotions within
Burning the night with the truth

Sweetest poison - positive attraction
Raging in my mind

Oh if you walk away
You’ll take the life from me
Oh if you walk away
You’ll take the air I breathe
Life would be lonely
More than you’ll ever know
‘Cos you’ve put all heaven on earth

I hear the sound of your voice
On the breach of the wind
I feel the touch of an angel
Next to my skin
It cuts so deep inside
It draws out the life
Harder with every time

Sweetest poison - positive attraction
Raging in my mind

Words
(Downes/Payne)

If I whispered words, would you hear them now?
Would you cross the deepest seas?
In the fiercest winds, on the burning trail,
Seal it with your word.

If I whispered words, would you keep a lie?
Would you promise me till time?
So if we grow old and the distance parts,
So seal it with your word.

Oh, I’ll scream upon the hill,
So, you can hear me still.
Now, will we ever fade?
I seal it with my word.

If I whispered words, would you hear them now?
Would you cross the deepest seas?
In the fiercest winds, on the burning trail,
Seal it with your word.

Turn It Around
(Downes/Payne/Sturgis)

Took the ground,
From underneath my feet.
Silent town,
Ghosts this empty street.

I see the home that once was mine,
Now just bones of former life.
Touch this page of sacred time, again,
I see you call…

You don’t have to be strong for me.
I won’t shoot your defences down.
Whatever happens, I want you to see
We can face it together.
And turn it around.

A new life
Grows within his hands.
Coming back
To this promised land.

And with these bones we will rebuild,
To the flesh of future life.
Giving back that sacred time, again…

You don’t have to be strong for me.
I won’t shoot your defences down.
Whatever happens, I want you to see,
We can face it together.
And turn it around.

Summer
(Downes/Payne)

Her fingers feel the air
The mantle now so bare
From green then into brown
Lie scattered all around
We hope they will return
Like those before did learn
Now that their summer’s gone
We have to carry on

Till we rise, I just can’t wait
Now tell me, who are you
To judge my fate?

Chorus:
Oh, the rain burns on
Now that summer’s gone
Oh, the wind blows strong
Now that summer’s gone

Across the fields we ran
To emerald castles, banned
By rule of modern man
Who built a winterland
Then as the seasons change
He’ll fly and hide away
Above a cloud of words
On wings of gold I heard

We must rise, it’s not too late
Now tell me, who are you
To change our fate?

Chorus

Heaven
(Downes/Payne)

In the distance, I can see them
On the trade winds, across stormy seas.
They are many, please believe me,
There’s something to find,
There’s someplace here deep inside of my mind.

There is a time where,
There is no place here.
Tell me if you get there…
Heaven

Can you see this land I’m dreaming?
Such a place, I hope we will find.
Is it there now? Tell me where now,
‘Cos I need to know.
Believe… It’s still deep inside of my mind.

There is a time where,
There is no place here.
Tell me if you get there…
Heaven

A Far Cry
(Downes/Payne/Hart/Mitchell)

In the dead of night
On the wings of the wind
I hear the ocean bell
With a flash of light
In the beat of the dark
The sound I know so well

I shall never forget you
It’s been so long
I should never have left you
The call so strong

It’s a far cry from a wild world
It want to get back to you
Such a long road, to the homeland
I must make my way to a far cry

From the chords of the earth
To the depths of the sea
I will return
As I look to the hill
Through the eyes of the storm
I touch the flame

I shall never forget you
It’s been so long
I should never have left you
The call so strong

It’s such a far cry

Love Under Fire
(Downes/Lake)

Love under fire
We stand in the flame
Now and forever
After the rain
When is forever?
You can take it from me
It may be never
C’est la vie

Love under fire
And we stand in the flame
Now and forever
After the rain
When is forever?
You can take it from me
It may be never
Just wait and see

You can hide in the jungle
You can climb up a tree
You can scan the horizon
Tell me what you see?
As cold as a mountain
With a heart that can freeze
There’s a storm on the water
With every heart that she seas

Love under fire

Tell Me Why
(Downes/Payne)

Tell me why,
I don’t believe in you.
I don’t believe it’s true.
I don’t believe in you.

Happens nearly every time,
If you let them, they’ll control your mind,
Yes your mind.

But that was only yesterday,
So you had to wash your head in hate.
In hate, in hate.

Tell me why,
I don’t believe in you.
I don’t believe it’s true.
I don’t believe in you.

Shall we stand against the wind?
Staring at the justice of their sins,
Their sins.

What have they done to live this way?
In a modern world, the fragile pay
They pay, oh yes they pay.

Tell me why,
I don’t believe in you.
I don’t believe it’s true.
I don’t believe in you.

Anytime
(Downes/Payne)

As a child, we played the game
Fought the war, but felt no pain
Arm to arm, we left the skin
Then said the words, remember them

Oh, never a moments doubt
Oh, feel it, scream it loud

Chorus:
Anytime that you call
Anytime if you fall
Anytime I’ll be there for you
Any moment of fear
Anytime say the prayer
Swear that our word is true

Should I go
Should I stay?
I won’t turn my head away
Cross the line, the great divide
So kill the silence, where we hide

Oh, never a moments doubt
Oh, feel it so scream it loud

Chorus

If clouds fall, stand tall
As mountains climb from endless sea
Call out, fear not
Bring back that memory

Chorus

Aqua Part Two
(Downes/Payne)

Into The Arena
(Downes/Payne/Randall/Tomoyasu)

Military Man
(Downes/Payne)

The fighting’s over now
There’s nowhere left to run
My ammunition’s out
I’d better put down my gun
And as I face this life of fear
I’d better keep my conscience clear
Inside my mind I’m out of it
And I ain’t never coming back

Chorus:
So don’t come running here to find me
‘Cos I’m a military man
And as I spin this wheel of fortune
In my military world
I’m a military man

The architects of time
Are calling me
But I don’t believe it
Necessarily
And as I face this life of fear
Break the chains
That bind me here
Inside my head I’m out of it
But I’m still never coming back

Chorus

I’m a military man
Just a military man yes I am

The Hunter
(Downes)

It don’t come easy, that’s understood
Faint-hearted loser, that’s no good
Just take a lesson from the great Mohammed
He said… He said…

Pick up a rifle, you must be strong
To take a title, can be so long
If you believe, you can’t go wrong
I said… I said… Listen
He’s a fighter he’s my friend

Always winning in the end
He’s no angel, he’s no fool
Never plays it by the rule
Take the glory, steal the prize
Only the hunter, only the hunter

You took your chances, you hurt your pride
A sense of failure, is hard to hide
You crossed the limit, you broke the code
Back on the road… Remember?

He’s a rival, he’s my friend
Always winning in the end
He’s a tiger, he’s a swam
He’s the one I’m counting one
To take the glory, steal the prize
Only the hunter, only the hunter survives

I’m on the outside, I’m looking in
Through the lenses, then into film
I’ve got the target set in my sights
I see a vision of truth… Look out

We’re gonna fight until we drop
We’re gonna get back to the top
We’re gonna be the first in line
Winners till the end of time

Only the hunter, only the hunter
Only the hunter, only the hunter
Survives

Desire
(Downes/Payne/Nye)

From the very first rush
To the very last sigh
In a moment’s touch
To the whole of time
Be the secrets of pain
Kiss the tears that you cry

Just to hold without
Get to touch within
From the sound of your breath
To the taste of your skin
I’d give all my days
Just for one of your nights

I’ve just got to get next to you
Let it out, let it go

Chorus:
Desire, make it physical
Looks to feed the thrill
Desire, with its hungry eyes
Closing for the kill
Desire, all that’s left in me
Tears the night in two
Desire, like a primitive
Claw my way to you
Are you thinking of me
Like I’m thinking of you?

How the innocence dies
In a passionate stare
A shaft of light
A silent dare
The call of the wild…

From the very first crime
Of original sin
To the carnal lie
Where the truth begins
Just to feel your nails
Lift me up like wings

I’ve just got to get next to you
Let it out, let it go

Chorus

Sad Situation
(Downes/Payne)

When you wake, I’ll be gone
Just a space, an empty chair
And I know, I was wrong
Just one more time, then I’ll be gone

Who stopped the sky from falling?
Who held you back from harm?
Who stood as walls were falling?
A call still guides us on

Chorus:
It’s a sad situation
And no one’s to blame
I’ts a sad situation
Now you’re gone
It’s a sad situation
Which someday may change
It’s a sad situation
Now you’re gone

In the dawn, turn the page
We stand alone, as the lions rage
I suppose we’ll move on
A fight of minds, that still breathe strong

Who stopped the sky from falling?
Who held you back from harm?
WHo held you close when hurting?
Who keeps the doves of hope?

Chorus

Day Before The War
(Downes/Payne)

Standing on the border,
Waiting on the line.
Silence is a stranger,
In these troubled times.
I recall a better place,
Where I controlled my mind.
We had no fears at all…
The day before the war.

Hands across the water,
The sun is in the East.
Who will feed the famine
After lions feast?
In the name of Jesus,
In the name of God,
You took it all in vain…
The day before the war.

Standing on the border,
Waiting on the line.
Feet in bloody water,
Deafened by the crime.
I recall the beauty,
Young will never see.
We had no fears at all…
The day before the war.

Hearts across the water,
The sun is in the East.
Ships arrived this morning,
From the burning sea.
Take away the glory,
Take away the pain.
You were a friend of mine…
The day before the war.

Feels Like Love
(Downes/Payne)

Feel my mind, the sleep is ending
As we rush into the sea
Take my eyes, and I will show you
The future in the deep

You must breathe on
You must be strong

Am I right to fight the distance
As we push against the tide?

You must breathe on
You must be strong

Rushing through my head, I can touch the thunder
Lighting up the mind, as the wind blows stronger
Pushing back the sea, as the storm is calling on
Louder than before, in the raging river
Faster than the stream, will it last forever?
Holding back the time, as the world stops turning

Feels like love…
Tell me, does it feel like love?

We look to the sky, to the statue of hope
She is holding the flame, as the island awoke
To the city of dreams, where the angel still sleeps
See the satellites glow as they rise from the sea

Feels like love…
Tell me, does it feel like love?

Different Worlds
(Downes/Payne)

Time and tide,
Are the dreams that come and go,
They wait for no man on the shore.
Should you step,
In the same dark river twice,
Let it wash the sins away.

Is there time at hand,
With so much to say?
And I know, it’s a different world today,
And I know, to another God we pray,
And I know, we’re in different worlds today.

Here I stand,
My philosophy held high,
Like a preacher in a foreign land.
And here we walk,
In the wilderness of sands,
With the prophet and the holy man.

Is there time at hand,
With so much to say?
And I know, it’s a different world today,
And I know, to another God we pray,
And I know, we’re in different worlds today,
And I know, it’s a different world today.

They’re burning the Book, they’re burning the faith,
Our dream will be over,
Let’s wake from the sleep, a legion we’ll be,
To live forever.

I know I was wrong, I have to put it right,
I just can’t let it slip away,
‘Cause it’s a different world today.

Different world, different world, different world today.
Is it a better world today?

Rememberance Day
(Downes/Payne)

The battlefield, the smoke has cleared
Silence in sight, the blood lies deep
Look from the hills, the valley calls
Six hundred fall, a lost to all

Someday, somewhere, ever calling
One time, one life, ever falling

Chorus:
And will you remember
The flowers in the fields?
And will you remember
The loss of one so dear
And will you remember
Through the mist of lies?
Remember
Their spirit never dies
Remember

Out of the skies, and into the green
Fuelled by the lies, paid by soul

Soldire, hero, well ‘Uncle Sam’
He don’t wanna know

Chorus

U Bring Me Down
(Downes/Payne/Ibrahim)

Don’t tell me what you are
Don’t tell me what you’re after
Don’t tell me what you want
Don’t tell me what you need
Aren’t you just the one to always point the finger
I don’t care for you ‘cos you don’t care for me !

U bring me down……..repeat

COUNTER RAP
U bring me down/You’re giving me no hope
Sucking off our land/Blowing off the smoke
Virus in the veins/That run into the sea
Poisoning the world/With you’re generosity

U bring me down/You’re killing me with lies
You take away our ears/ Won’t take away my eyes
The red red sea will return unto the vein
Covering the world/Are you happy with your gain

REFRAIN

I could breathe, I could fly
The day before you came
(Think you own my skin now)
Break the chains, free the slave
Turn the tides against you now

Talking to the sky
You promise evolution
Progression of the mind
By selling of the soul
The last will be the first
In the dust of revolution

Someone cares for me
But no one cares for you

REFRAIN 2

Will I breathe? Will I see?
Far beneath the clearest stream
(To the deepest ocean)
Break the chains, free the slaves
Give back the blood, that you drain from this world now

Aria
(Downes/Payne/Nye)

s I look back
In that last act
Far beyond the call of duty

Did I stay strong?
Did I give more?
Far beyond the call of duty

And I know, you know… now
