In the beginning there was darkness And in the darkness there was fear And fear gave birth to God Whose rule was harsh but clear But reason led to questioning and God became a man He retreated to the skies Though some began a search to comprehend the universe The men of God screamed out - you must not question why So in towers and in attics Pure reason took its course In hiding from the so-called holy man Who'd wipe it out by force Then emerging from the shadows with triumph in their eyes Came the keepers of the flame As the iron hand of science took revenge upon the pious They wondered if the world they knew could ever be the same How can these mighty opponents be reconciled? The cross and the crucible fight for our souls In the here and the now and the after-life Mortal man can't understand the mind of God You need us to guide you to the glory of the Lord Creation's not a toy for man to prise apart God provides the spark that puts the questions in your heart He holds all the answers, lead you from the dark He holds all the answers - do not question

A circle of stones to capture the sun-god We call him to earth to banish the cold The blood of our children will safeguard the harvest We willingly give all we have in the hope of his love For the greater glory With our hearts and souls we sacrifice We'll banish the infidel cross from our homeland With the love of Allah on our side we can't fail Our saracen blades will turn red the desert Our martyrs will reap their reward in God's paradise For the greater glory With our hearts and souls we sacrifice Dear mother, the rain's been falling for days now I think we're in Belgium though some say it's France You'd like the captain, he seems like a nice man He says that tomorrow we'll get our big chance Last night outside on the wire I heard a boy dying In the tongue of our foe he called out for his mother and cried "Dear Ma, I'm sorry, but God doesn't live here Remember your son who is gone now because of his lies" For the greater glory With our hearts and souls we sacrifice For the greater glory With our flesh and blood Our fathers and brothers and husbands and sons We pay the price

Cold night, New York, Air hangs like death, Last train to Brooklyn Pulls in out of breath King of the blade Holds court in the aisle, His young face beams danger--Menace with a smile But if he touches me, I'll blow away his confidence--He'll wish he's let me be... I'm Judge and Jury--Executioner He'll pay the price, But justice won't come easily I'm Judge and Jury--Executioner I have the right to clear the garbage from the street Eyes meet in combat--He knows the score, He wants me to take him But I want much more! I want to see him bleed, I'll strike a blow for innocence--He'll wish he'd let me be I'm Judge and Jury--Executioner (Who's fool enough to pay the price!) He'll pay the price, I'm Judge and Jury--Executioner (Since when is running scared a vice?) I have the right to clear this garbage from the street If someone touches me, They'll suffer for their ignorance They'll wish they'd let me be I'm Judge and Jury--Executioner Who'll pay the price (Who's fool enough to pay the price?) Who's fool enough to challenge me, I'm Judge and Jury--Execuitioner (Who'll make it safe to walk at night?) Take my advice, Stay well away from men like me.

Rat Racing 09:19
The call of the wild, brings me to my window-sill, eyes to the dawn. A tug on a heartstring by soft, unknown, fingers. Leading me on, But there's only a streetlamp, standing guard to my soul, In the morning air. A silent companion, waiting like me for the dawn... Faint stirrings of life are heard 'cross the rooftops, Breaking the spell, Echoes of footsteps that call down the pavement, With stories to tell, And Chimney-smoke towers reaching out on the grey, Of the morning light, Passionate fingers, outstretched in welcome for the dawn... The sound of the city, Thunders around me, Drags me along, The babble of voices, The roar of the traffic, Drown me in their song, I'm only a heartbeat keeping time with a pace, Set by marching feet, A pulse that beats stronger as the new day unfolds from the dawn... Can you feel it pumping? Can you feel it flowing round and round? Can you feel it through your fingertips? To your head it flows up through the ground... Does it scare you? When you feel the scenery closing in... Adrift on the street, I merge with confusion, And I feel complete, Swelling with the human tide, Heart and mind electrified. --I'm swaying like the ground beneath my feet, We can stand and watch with pride, or maybe scorn and cricise, How people seem like rats at running pace, But you and I are runners too, There's nothing more that we can do, But join the rats down at the starting gate, But you and I are runners too, There's nothing more that we can do but run. The final strait lies round the bend, But I don't want this race to end...!

Ghostdancers 06:42
The thin red line it was my life to fight for King and country But Boney's gone, the job was done, old King George has no use for me There were times we laughed and danced, life was good we loved our land But now we starve in our backyard, the children die in their mothers' arms We're sailing to America on a ship of dreams Going to start a new life in the New World We're sailing to America on a ship called Destiny Gone to make our fortune where the land is free This great land we fought across to build the mighty iron horse The red man fought with bow and lance, he paid in blood for his savage arrogance We're spreading 'cross America, build ourselves a dream Come to make a new life in the New World The vastness of America shapes our destiny Here to make our fortune where the land is free And skies will burn and hearts will break and tears will fall for these dreams we make And fires will rage and hopes will fade through the wars we wage till the end of days In a fortress called America shadows haunt our dreams Poisoning the new life in the New World Our wayward son America betrayed our destiny Threw away our fortune, chained a land that's free The land was free White man came here long ago, he stole our land killed our buffalo He made us clowns in his Wild West show, ghost dancers sing he must go

Midas Touch 09:42
Take an act of greed and a tortured soul Place them together in the crucible Take two men of different faith And a scrap of earth they call their place War is mixture you now create From this extract the human spirit Then pressurise it to the limit And in wondrous vapours you will find Creative treasures of every kind From the essence of this spirit take good intentions And then stir it with desire to turn all things to gold Take care for as your dreams unfold of countless treasure This spell can oft go wrong if hunger for power affects Your noble measure to help your fellow man So look deep down inside your soul and into the smouldering crucible Is this truly gold you see? I see banners flying in the wind Our darkest demons rising from the flames again Black wings of terror blocking out the sun Just one more battle then our golden age may come But there's no running, there's no turning away We never wanted, wanted it to be this way With good intentions we achieve so much Then we take a sip from the poison cup Midas touch We've got the midas touch I see glass towers rising to the skies Down in their shadows the last red rose has died I see machines drink our mothers blood The mercury's rising - Lord here comes the flood But there's no running, there's no turning away We never wanted, wanted it to be this way Losing everything - achieving so much Take a sip from the poison cup Midas touch We've got the midas touch Take touch of the human spirit Pressurise it to the limit Stir in greed and desire Turn the temperature higher Higher higher higher and higher and higher Iron is the will that knows no fear Lead is the greed that blinds us Sulphur is the evil that lies in us all Tin are the gods that guide us Carbon is the strenght to conquer hate Silver is the purest love that binds us Gold is the power lust that divides us If I could do magic I would weave a spell If I could do magic I would weave a spell

Falling Down 06:23
Domes of crystal, spires of light reach out We’re aspirational creatures there’s no doubt Living in our brutal cities, nurture an inhuman race Perish the weak, only the strong will last the pace The sick and hungry all cry out But nobody cares to hear them shout.. Our world is falling down Spinning round Falling down… We're out of control we’re falling down Spinning round falling down…. Smack a child and hope that it will learn Close your minds again, and we will burn Arrogance can make us crazy, science is a blinding light Open your eyes listen to your heart to know what’s right The dark dictators parade their might Listen to your heart to know what’s right Our world is falling down Spinning round Falling down… We're out of control we’re falling down Spinning round falling down…. Now the lunatics rise again

Monster 05:28
I hear no music on the radio Switch on my Tv there's nothing left amuses me Can’t find a movie or a comedy show No sound of laughter no happy ever after I see them talking but don’t hear what they say They're all sounding crazy it truly starts to faze me It's just outrageous their hate appears contageous They take it the wire, they take it the wire…. I feel a monster… I feel a monster coming I fear a monster… I hear a monster coming I see the soldiers as they’re boarding their plane They smile and they’re taunting, a bravery that’s haunting Broken mothers fear they come home again Wrapped up in a flag, huh Tin pot dictators chase their own atom bomb While this planet is melting and no one cares for helping We argue over nothing my head is really hurting They take it to the wire, take it the to wire…. I feel a monster… I feel a monster coming I fear a monster… I hear a monster coming I am just an ordinary guy The world's gone crazy I couldn’t tell you why I hear no music just distant angry voices Fear in the air, panic everywhere It tears my soul apart, the hatred and lies I see my friends, despair in their eyes Something tells me the end has begun A monster's coming there's no place to run Run I feel a monster… I feel a monster coming I hear a monster… I fear a monster’s coming I feel a monster… I fear a monster coming I see a monster… I see a monster coming………

Hear me, see me, as I step on to your stage I talk to every one of you so I subdue your rage Your leaders have failed you Your world sits on the edge Here and now before you, I make this solemn pledge Follow me (and the crowd went wild) Come to me (man woman and child) Trust in me (all the world go wild) And you will see ....... I come here from a time and place Where leaders proved their might No question from their people of their wisdom and their sight I offer you direction you have never seen before Realise your destiny and open up your door Follow me (and the crowd went wild) Come to me......... ( man woman and child) Trust in me........ ( all the world go wild) And you will see ........ I promise you a golden age prosperity and power Where peace prevails and nothing fails Your finest hour "I'm sorry, I don't want to be your Emperor. That is not my purpose. I don't want to rule or conquer you We seeded this planet millennia ago in the hope that the you would flourish and produce a world of culture and enlightenment. We want to help you, That is the Atlantean way We want you to live by each other's happiness - not by each other's misery We don't want you to hate and despise one another In this world there is room for everyone and your good Earth is rich and can provide for everyone Your way of life could be free and beautiful, but you have lost your way Greed, has poisoned your souls, has infected your world with hate, has dragged you into misery and bloodshed You have developed technology, but have lost sight of why Technology that created abundance has left you in want Your knowledge has made you cynical not wise, your cleverness is hard and unkind You think too much and care too little More than technology, you need humanity More than cleverness, you need compassion Without these qualities, your lives will end violently, and all will be lost " Follow me (and the crowd went wild) Come to me......... ( man woman and child) Trust in me........ ( all the world go wild) And you will see ........

Violet Sky 05:10
What would you do if this was the end of the world Would you hold on to me so tightly like the first time we met I want to tell you how much my heart wants to sing If this is the end of all time I would not change a thing Won’t you take my hand, climb up the highest hill We’ll sit there side by side watching the end of the world We’ll watch the cities burn, we’ll watch the seas run dry Make love for the last time, under a violet sky What would we do if this was the end of the world Would you run for your life, try to survive, would we want to know why No! In our last moment, I need to feel your love As I kiss you goodbye, a sapphire explodes in a violet sky We’ll watch the deserts burn, watch the river run dry See the cities fall, under a violet sky And when the moment comes I will hold you near, Look into my eyes We will feel no fear…….

Sanctuary 09:51
Is this the sanctuary We talked of in the night? Is this the sanctuary? I must try to do what's right A cold light shines from the watchtower window Chill wind scratches out my face Blown between the bars That hold this place Is this the sanctuary We talked of in the night? Is this the sanctuary? I must try to do what's right Twilight howl, the searchlight owl Wire fingers grip the air Freedom only comes To those who dare Is this the sanctuary We talked of in the night? Is this the sanctuary? Where all our hopes have turned to stone Nothing left to lose but life itself Nowhere left to go but through the wire Cross the compound's barren waste with dread The sun shall rise upon the free and dead The free and the dead, ooh Run (run) Hide (hide) But you can't flee what lies inside Sleep (sleep) Dream (dream) But only to the sound of screams Fear (fear) Doubt (doubt) That save for death, there's no way out Seek (seek) Find (find) The free and promised land that lies nearby And... and...and...and... And though I wear the yellow badge of hate I walk a free man through the opening gate Still ghostly figures line the wire in a daze No need for flowers here, there are no graves And though I wear the yellow badge of hate I walk a free man past the padlocked gates I pause to look the searchlight in the eye To ask it shed it's light upon the reason why

Cut and Run 06:31
Cold city, runs hot with pain Knives slash your jugular vein Cut and Run There is no escape from the gun Tongues lie a noose around your neck "grass stains" seal your fate Cut and Run There is no escape from the gun Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide Run from the gun Flee for your life Search, search and terminate We have read your mind You are an enemy of the state Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide Run from the gun Flee for your life Assassin: "John Doe" "I have reason to believe you are an enemy of the State, so, by virtue of the powers vested in me by the State, I am hereby obliged to terminate your existence"
