"No More"

"No More"

I speak for a man who gave for this land
Took a bullet in the back for his pay
Spilled his blood in the dirt and the dust
He's back to say:

What he has seen is hard to believe
And it does no good to just pray
He asks of us to stand
And we must end this war today

With his mind, he's saying, "No more!"
With his heart, he's saying, "No more!"
With his life he's saying, "No more war!"

With his eyes, he's saying, "No more!"
With his body, he's saying, "No more!"
With his voice, he's saying, "No more war!"

Yeah, nothing's too good for a veteran
Yeah, this is what they say
So nothing is what they will get
In this new American way

The lies we were told to get us to go
Were criminal ... let us be straight
Let's get to the point where our voices get heard
And I know what I'll say

With our minds, we're saying, "No more!"
With our hearts, we're saying, "No more!"
With our lives, we're saying, "No more war!"

With our eyes, we're saying, "No more!"
With our voices, we're saying, "No more!"
With our bodies, we're saying, "No more war!"

No more innocents dying
No more terrorizing
No more eulogizing
No more
No more evangelizing
No more
No more presidents lying
No more war

With our minds, we're saying, "No more!"
With our hearts, we're saying, "No more!"
With our lives, we're saying, "No more war!"

"Here's To The State"

"Here's To The State"

Here's to the judges of John Roberts,
Who wear the robe of honor in a phony legal form,
And justices are stranger when the partisans report,
When the court elected a president it was the beginning of this war,

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
John Roberts find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the government of Dick Cheney,
With criminals posing as advisers to the crown,
And they hope that no one sees the sites or that no one hears the sounds,
Cause the speeches of our president are the remains of a clown

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
Dick Cheney find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the churches of Jerry Falwell,
Oh the cross once made of silver now is turned to rust,
And the Sunday morning services preach in fear of men in love,
And God only knows in heaven they must trust

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
Jerry Falwell find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the laws of Alberto Gonzalez,
Congress will pass an act in the panic of the day,
And the Constitution's drowning in an ocean of decay,
And freedom of speech is dangerous I've even heard them say,

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
Gonzalez find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the businessmen of George W,
Who'll want to change the focus from Halliburton to Enron
And their profits like blood money spilled out on the white house lawn,
To keep their hold on power they're using terror as a con,
While the bombs they fall on children don't know which side... don't care which side that they're on

Here's to the land you tore out the heart of,
George W find yourself another country to be part of

Here's to the land you've torn out the heart of,
George W find yourself another country to be part of

"Can't Keep"

"Can't Keep"

I wanna shake, I wanna wind out
I wanna leave this mind and shout
I've lived all this life
Like an ocean in disguise
I won't live forever
Oh, you can't keep me here

I wanna race with the sundown
I want a last breath that I don't let out
Forgive every being
The bad feelings, it's just me
I won't wait for answers
Oh, you can't keep me here

I wanna rise and say a goodnight
I wanna take a look on the other side
I've lived all these lives
It's been wonderful at night
I won't live forever
Oh, you can't keep me here

 

[Shadow Hunter]

"Sleeping By Myself"

"Sleeping By Myself"

I should have know there was someone else
Now I'm alone I always kept it to myself
Now I believe in nothing
Not today as I move myself out of your sight
Oh I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

I could never go to noone else
The hurt don't show but who knows, time will tell
Now I believe in nothing but the pain
That I can't see this turning out right
Oh I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

Forever be sad and lonely
Forever never be the same
Oh I close my eyes and wait for a sign
Am I just waiting in vain?
Oh I'll be leaving love and disaster
Sometimes the two are just the same
I'm beginning to see
What's left of me is gonna have to be free to survive

I'll be sleeping by myself
I'll be sleeping by myself
I'll be sleeping by myself tonight

"Without You"

"Without You"


I'll grow when you grow
Let me loosen up the blindfold
I'll fly when you cry
Lift us out of this landslide
Wherever you go
Whenever we part

I'll keep on healing all the scars
That we've collected from the start
I'd rather this than live without you
For every wish upon a star
That goes unanswered in the dark
There is a dream, I've dreamt about you

And from afar, I lie awake
Close my eyes to find I wouldn't be the same

I'll shine when you shine
Painted pictures on my mind
Sun sets on this ocean
Never once on my devotion
However you are
Or far that you're far

I'll keep on healing all the scars
That we've collected from the start
I'd rather this than live without you
For every wish upon a star
That goes unanswered in the dark
There is a dream, I've dreamt about you

And from afar, I lie awake
Close my eyes to find I'd never be the same
Without you, without you?

"More Than You Know"

"More Than You Know"

More than you know, more than you know
Lately I find you're on my mind
More than you know

Whether I'm right, whether I'm wrong
I need you so
More than you know, more than you know

Loving you the way that I do
There's nothing I can do about it
And a little bit of love that I get
May be all that you can give
But I can't live without it

Oh how I'd cry, oh how I'd cry
If you got tired and said, "Goodbye"
More than I'd show
More than you'd ever, ever know
More than you know
More than you'd ever, ever know
More than you know

 

[Shadow Hunter]

"Goodbye"

"Goodbye"

I've got our love to remember
That will never change
I have you in my head
And no, I'll never hold you
And I'm still asking why
I guess that this is goodbye

My dreams suddenly seem so empty
I could go on my own, but I feel like playin' dead
And for what feels like the first time
I don't know where you are tonight
I guess that this is goodbye

We lived half our lives together
A hundred years is a lot of weight to bear
And the sun, it may be shining
There's an ocean in my eyes
Cause I know that this is goodbye
Cause I know that this... is goodbye

 

[Shadow Hunter]

"Broken Heart"

"Broken Heart"

Don't mind me, just let me be
My eyes so far away
I don't need no sympathy
The word gets overplayed

I'm alright, it's just tonight
I can't play the part
I'm alright, it's alright
It's just a broken heart.

Don't have eyes for the world outside
They're closed and turned within
Trying to find a light inside
It's there and growing dim

I'm alright, it's just tonight
I can't play the part
I'm alright, it's alright
It's just one broken heart...

 

[Shadow Hunter]

"Satellite"

"Satellite"

Its no shame that
Love's a game that
I can only play with you
what I'm saying
is I'm here waiting for you

I've seen the light
I'm satisfied that
the brightest star that's you
Satellite I'm holding tight
Beaming back to you

Days turn into
Night turns into
Days turn into today
Don't think I'm out playin
cause I'm inside waiting for you

I've felt the light
I'm satisfied that
the highest high is you
Satellite I'm holding tight
Beaming back to you

Don't you worry
I believe your story
You were put away
for something you didn't do
But I'm waiting
I've been saving my love...

 

[Shadow Hunter]

"Longing To Belong"

"Longing To Belong"

I'm falling harder than I've
ever fell before
I'm falling fast while hoping
I'll land in your arms
'cause all my time is spent here
longing to belong
to you

I dream of circles perfect
eyes within your face
my heart's an open wound that
only you'd replace
and though the moon is rising
can't put your picture down
love can be frightening when you fall

And when the time is right, I
hope that you'll respond
like when the wind gets tired
the ocean becomes calm
I may be dreaming but I'm
longing to belong
to you
