"The Shadows And The Wind"

"The Shadows And The Wind"


Oh they're movin' in again
Hidden by the shadows and the wind
But we'll just wait awhile and then
We'll show 'em all that this time we ain't giving in
Ain't giving in

Without a care they sweep aside our dreams
To try and make way for their own
No more should we surrender to their schemes
It's time to stand and show them we are not alone

Time has changed us all
We have our minds
Life has taught us
We all have our love
And it's time to use it
Oh boy, use it, whoa

Well nature gave us colour, day and night
So if you've really got a reason then you better be right
The seasons of the year show spring and fall
But there's nothing in the world that's says it's right to fight

Time has changed us all
We have our minds
Life has taught us
We all have our love
Why don't we use it
C'mon and use it
Why don't we use it
C'mon and use it, whoa
La, la la la laaa
La, la la la laaa

"The Spell"

"The Spell"


Whatcha think I am
Do you think I'm dreaming
Don't you know I know
What it is you're scheming

Who'd you think gave you the right
Hidden by the dead of night
To take the world and turn it upside down
When it should be round

Seems I made it just in time
To use my reason and my rhyme
To save us from the evils of your mind

I will cast the spell
Be sure I'll cast it well
I will light a fire
Kindled with desire

I'll fill you with fear
So you know I'm here
And I won't be treated like a fool

It's no good you pretending
There'll be no happy ending
I'm alive and darkness is my tool

But when the night is over
And daytime steals your cover
The goodness of the morning sun
Will warm away what you have done
And leave you cold

I have no need for moonlight
You're wrong to trust in sunlight
For I exist not just in storms
But in life itself in so many forms
To leave you cold

I will leave you now
But you won't defeat me
You had best beware
When you come to meet me

Love and truth will follow me
An army of reality
Brought from every corner of the world

You will never break the spell
I'll summon all the fires of hell
And this is my advice for what it's worth

Let us not begin
This fight we cannot win
Be sure you're watching me
Cause all through your life
Everyday and everynight
You should know that I'll be watching you

"The Wizard"

"The Wizard"


He was the wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wandering
He told me tales and he drank my wine
Me and my magic man kind of feeling fine

He had a cloak of gold
And eyes of fire
And as he spoke I felt a deep desire
To free the world of its fear and pain
And help the people to feel free again

Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts
'Cause then I know we'd find we're not so far apart
Everybody's got to be happy
Everyone should sing
For we know the joy of life
The peace that love can bring

So spoke the wizard in his mountain home
The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone
And I will dream of my magic night
And the million silver stars that guide me with their light

"Think It Over"

"Think It Over"


I've had all I can take
I've taken just too much
I've made a big mistake
That put me out of touch
I don't think I can face
Another single day
Without a companion
To take this pain away

So many tears ago
It's then you walked away
It could've been the end
But I knew babe
I had to tell myself
There'll be another day
She wants to go to glench
But don't you know

Can't you see
There's a chance for you and me
Think it over
Don't believe
In the things that may not be
Think it over
I got to think it over

Forgetting the result
I can't give it in
Whisper startle you
But it's not over
You have to face the truth
I'm still in love with you
I have to make you see
But it's not over

I got to think about it baby

"Time Of Revelation"

"Time Of Revelation"


Won't you take a chance my brother
Follow me to a time of revelation
Can't you see that destiny will take a turn
And show there's no need to fight - 'cos you know it's right

And I finally see where I'm going
I finally know what I'm knowing
Now our journey's only just began

You won't need to ask forgiveness
What you find will be your inspiration
You don't have to pray for glory
All is equal on more pain you know it's true it's up to you

'Cos I finally see where I'm going
I finally know what I'm knowing
Now our journey's only just began

Over the bridge where you start to believe
Down at the edge of the rainbow
Dark is the night though it's in another time
Follow the light of your shadow

Right or wrong there is no reason
There will be no hidden destination
With the strength that you discover
You can show the way how it was meant to be for all to see

'Cos I finally see where I'm going
I finally know what I'm knowing
Now our journey's only just began

Over the bridge where you start to believe
Down at the edge of the rainbow
Dark is the night though it's in another time
Follow the light of your shadow

"Time To Live"

"Time To Live"


Let me see the sunshine
Let me feel the rain
Let me go where I want to go
I want to smell the flowers
See the dawn again
Find those friends I used to know
Find those friends I used to know

Well I spent twenty long years
In a dirty old prison cell
I never saw the light of day
If you could understand oh
That kind of living hell
That's the price I have to pay Oh Yeah
That's the price I have to pay Oh Yeah, oh oh

They said I killed a man
But I never told them why
So you can guess what I've been through
So for twenty long years
I've been thinking of that other guy
And what I saw him do to you
What I saw him do to you

Listen here
So if tomorrow comes
And I walk outside that door
Try to understand the strain
But if you smile that smile
I know I couldn't ask for more
I know I'd do it all again
Yes I would
I know I'd do it all again
Yeah yeah yeah yeah oh yeah
Do it all again
Do it all again

"Time Will Come"

"Time Will Come"


Riding on together
Forever till the end
Some people try to come between us
But we know they're not our friends

So come on join our party
Let the hours slip on by
No more cares or worries
No more asking yourself why

Can you hear us, can you hear us
We're never far away
Can you hear us, can you hear us
This is all we have to say

All our love is true
Even just for you
Don't push us away
Like we're of yesterday
We never ask for more
And we give in return

The time will come
When everyone will listen
The time will come
When everyone will care
Just look ahead
What we said will glitter
Like a jewel sailing softly
Through the air

With everything to live for
Sometimes you're seeing just ahead
Wear your vision and find that
You're together in five different ways

"Tin Soldier"

"Tin Soldier"


I am the little tin soldier
That wants to jump into your fire
You, oh, look in your eye
A dream passing by in the skies

I don't understand
All I need is to treat me like a man
I ain't no child, take me like I am

I've got some love that belongs to you
I'll do anything that you want me to
I'll sing any song that you want me
To sing to you

All I need is your whispered hello
Smile smelting the snow
Nothing heard
Your eyes, oh, deeper than time
I see a love that won't
Rhyme without words
So now bless my way
I need help to show me things to say
Give me your love
Before mine breaks away

I don't need no aggrevation
I just got to make you
I just got to make you understand

I just want some reaction
Someone to give me satisfaction
I love you

"Too Scared To Run"

"Too Scared To Run"


Too scared I could not run
I could not make a sound
Lights were flashing
My whole life passing
My feet were stuck to the ground

Too light to call it night
Too dark to call it day
Too scared to stay and fight
Too scared to run away

Too scared to run
Too scared to run away

So scared I could not move
I could not make a sound
There were people running
People shouting
Flashes all around

To scared I could not think
My eyes could not scarcely see
My heart was racing
My legs were shaking
They could not carry me

"Trail Of Diamonds"

"Trail Of Diamonds"


I had a dream at daybreak
The whole of time stood still
And in my crystal vision
I saw a shadow on a hill

And then she started walking
In to the bright blue sky
I tried to follow closely
And I knew the reason why

Then the dream it turned so slowly
Like a dream within a dream
She appeared to me so ghostly
As she kissed me with a smile

And then I saw her falling
In to the strangest town
Our distance never changing
As the walls are crashing down

Then the dream it moved so slowly
Like a dream within a dream
Then she turned to me so ghostly
And she kissed me with a smile

Like a secret that the heart makes
Must be careful what I wish for
Could this dream, last forever
Until the end of time?
With a vision of ecstasy
Need the strength so, I can hold on
Don’t want to die before I wake up

I had a dream at daybreak
You came and touched my soul
The deepest sense of wonder
Is knowing how to lose control

We left the ground together
So easy for us to fly
Leaving a trail of diamonds
That were seen for miles and miles

So the dream that moved so slowly
Was a dream within a dream
Then she turned to me so holy
And she kissed me with a smile
