We Will Forgive
04:15
|
|
||
|
One lacy buttoned gown
Silver crown, cast to the ground
From a promise that was made
Three betrayed
They still pay
For some of us, a simple insight
With time to grieve, we may see the light
And now that one of us gets old
We will prevail
And do what’s right.
There’s a life to live
And we shall still give
And we will forgive

The Everything

Ice planet, blue sky
Waiting for them to connect tonight
For their thoughts to join us
Hail to The Wonderbearers
And now we're on our way
As we climb the steps together
To the hall of The Wonderway
Dormant power, embers bright
We couldn't hold each other honey 'til tonight
How they did this for us I will never know!
Slavery is over and we're free to say
'We're one, my love'
In The Everything
We meet in The Everything
Complete in The Everything
Just beyond the veil of dreams
And borderless confusion
The Everything dissipates
Suffering and delusion
Up the steps past pain once known
Past doubt and fear and ego
Here stand The Justice Knights
Serene and silent
Out of sight
We couldn't hold each other honey 'til tonight
How they did this for us I will never know!
Slavery is over and we're free to say
'We're one, my love'
In The Everything
We meet in The Everything
Complete in The Everything

The Wonderbearers

|
|

They have a heart of gold, you know
They always root for you
When you hear them, then you’re good – to go!
Can you feel them
And reveal them
‘Cos they’re on their way!
Ah! The Wonderbearers are here
Especially for you
What’d you know?
Right on cue
Ohh
They know, uh hu hu
How to reach their goal
How to heal your soul!
They always try to help everybody
Even if you’re not always very nice, they still try to help you
When you’ve almost had enough
Try to see their sign
It looks just like a spark – of love
To remind you
They’re around you
Just a wish away!
Ah! The Wonderbearers are here
Especially for you
What’d you know?
Right on cue
Ohh
They know, uh hu hu
How to reach their goal
How to heal your soul!

Weathervane
04:37
|
|
||
|
The summer rain
Falls to the valley
To flow on its way home
The weathervane
Outside my window
Is captive to the wind
Come what may
The weathervane
Through wind and rain
Will stay the same
There it remains
Warm sun or winter grey
Through its joy and suffering
I see the clouds
I hear the sounds
I feel the sun
I am the weathervane
All this rain
And all this sky
And all its life
We can swim
We can dive
And we can fly
I ride a wave
I'm blown around
And I have found
I am a weathervane
And as the rain
Reaches the ocean
It knows it has returned
And like the moon
Will wax and wane
Such is life
As a weathervane

Social Cyanide
04:14
|
|
||
|
Unexpected find
'neath the desert sun
A nation is aligned
And gospels left unsung
The basis of a lie
And how a King did die
Good men there will dine
On beef and apple pie
A republic
With its eyes shut
Now it's here
(and it will be shown)
It was a lie
(And they're not alone)
Now it's clear
(There are no End Times)
And no Messiah
(I'm afraid they lied)
Democracy declined
Snow house in the sun
Truth was redefined
And now it comes undone
How a nation dies
For a worse one to arise
Will we ever find
what was in their crazy minds?
A Republic
And it will stop
Now it's here
(and it is now known)
It was a lie
(Now the end has come)
Now it's clear
(There's a genocide)
Fury and fire
(Social cyanide)

We were told that the sun would shine
Sharita
Nakita
You were wrong one other time
And that's a crime, Nakita
This one we can't just let pass by
And you will cry
Your image is held oh-so-high
Now it's a lie
Cancel
A video found you
Smoking a cigarette
Drinking wine
A journalist saw you
Dating an actor
(Alleged criminal ties)
The march is on to bring you down
Sharita
Nakita
Fame is not all that you'll find
Between the lines
Of twisted minds
And while your ratings hit the floor
You drink more
And as we gloat at your demise
The next victim will rise

Hope's Nemesis
03:46
|
|
||
|
Yeah, I'm a poker ace
Getting out of the Rat Race
Tonight, I'm betting all I own
They're not as good as they sound
Faith in hope will never let me down
Eyes on the next deal
Something's on my mind
I'm one of the slick few
With my poker-guise
He's able to trick you
When you want more than you need
And he can kick you
In your hour of greed
Ooh...there's hope
Ahh...there's hope
Now...there's hope
Here comes...
Ooh...lucky me!
Pre-flop pocket queens
All-in against...ahh...triple threes
(C'est la vie c'est la vie)
(At) What point in time
Did he suffer from my knife?
I'm suspecting Hope's Nemesis is alive
His breath all over me
Rancid and sticky
Suddenly, by decree
No more winning spree
(C'est la vie, c'est la vie)
Fear in my eyes
I'd thought I'd killed him
Now he's close by
Hope's Nemesis had survived

Midnight Girl
03:50
|
|

|
Ah, there's the Midnight Girl
She always comes to me
In the netherworld
Of peaceful, dreaming sleep
Words can hardly describe how I'm feeling
Underlying nature is exposed
Sensitive and composed
With my Midnight Girl
I'm free of worldly ways
Shining, smiling, borderless
My nights are sunlit days
I awake inside my primitive old body
She's no longer seen
A tear will fall
But she's not left me
My confidence, my guide
She lights the way
She never leaves me

Human Sunrise
03:00
|
|
||
|
The child in you is waking up
Let's be innocent for just one day
I'm joining 'cos I've had enough
I wanna go outside and play
Out to the streets to feel the breeze
Let the sun stroke your face
We're aiming for the horizon
Vaccinations gaining pace...
You're not alone
With us on planet earth...
And if you're told it's impossible
Then that's a lie
All look to the emerging sunlit sky
The road back to normality
It's do or die: Human Sunrise!
The world we love can't be breaking up
Let's find the will for just one day
Let's forget all that politics stuff
And keep The Reaper away
We'll let the parents breath with ease
And let the kids touch a living face
You're not alone
With us on planet earth...
And if you're told it's impossible
Then that's a lie
All look to the emerging sunlit sky
The road back to normality
It's do or die: Human Sunrise!

Ashes
02:42
|
|

|
Been dreaming about you again
Another lump in my throat
Is it too much to ask,
To be coming home to you?
Is there something wrong with me?
I'm advised to move on
I am so proud to say
That I cherish you
Would never choose another way
I can't complain, you know
Am I being selfish again?
With only your ashes to clutch
It's painful with no one to touch
All that we needed was two
Now each of us has one too few...
When this heart stops beating
And this chapter is through
The monitor stops bleeping
And we'll be two
It will be new
Once again
