Beyond the Temple

(unknown)

Beyond the temple there lies a tomb with a king from long ago
A traveler from a distant planet
Ten thousand years or so
The legend tells of an agin' man
Whose city he built alone
Till the pirates of our western world tore it down stone by stone

The clouds are gettin' heavy
As he points unto the sky
But with the guidence of his finger
He let the lighting fly

So don't turn around (don't turn around)
Lightin' don't strike twice
Don't turn around (don't turn around)
Death is a very high price

He gathered up his people
And he took them underground
To the caves of silvery water
Where they never could be found

The king came to the surface
Could not believe what he had found
The temple left in ruins
His city knocked to the ground

He went back to his people
Sad news he had to tell
The only justice for the king
Was to put these men in hell

So don't turn around (don't turn around)
Lightnin' don't strike twice
Don't turn around (don't turn around)
Cause death is a very high price

His face showing sorrow
His heart full of grief
His life's work in ruins
Destroyed by a thief

His people just sit around
His children just cry
The king's mind is all confused
Just wonderin' why

The temple split in half
And scattered through the desert
The dust had risen in the air
The race of people had to live in devastation
Why wasn't he even there

Message from the gods to gather up his people
The kingdom couldn't lose them there
That's when all the gods and all are livin' peaceful
Just a galaxy away

The king rose up from underground
To light the darkened sky
Red lights, green lights, blue lights flashing
It seemed a mile high

As it lifted from the ground
And soared into the air
The king looked at what might have been
A world that needed care

A storm had risen quickly
Across the take of hope
Now there's no trace of the king
Just a memory carved in stone

So don't turn around (don't turn around)
Lightnin' don't strike twice
Don't turn around (don't turn around)
Death is a very high price

Don't turn around (don't turn around)
Lightin' don't strike twice
Don't turn around (don't turn around)
Cause death is a very high price

Misty Dreamer (Tomorrow Seems Like Yesterday)

(unknown)

The sun that is rising is glistening down on the hill
The pool of confusion is silently still
The thoughts of another keep runnin' through my mind
As i search for the answer, it's never easy to find

The prophet stood on the hill and firmly he gripped his sword
As the angels of wisdom were singing a heavenly chord
So i look back and wonder if i should be asking for more
As a traveller in limbo who's washed up onto the wrong shore

In the morning when i wake up
And the story starts to break up
Then it's plain to see
What's wrong with me
So the curtains they are drawn back
And my mind is simply torn back
To reality, you see, to me, i'm just a misty dreamer

I slipped by the waterslide and i thought i heard my true love screamin'
So i opened my eyes and shook my head and i realized i was only dreamin'

So close your eyes and drift away
Tomorrow seems like yesterday for you

You conscience guided by a light
Your memory won't be here tonight
The sorrow that eyes are showing
Doesn't hide your spirit flowing

So close your eyes and drift away
Tomorrow seems like yesterday for you

Drift away
Tomorrow seems like yesterday for you

Warchild

(unknown)

Warchild, your heart is broken
Your mind is breakin', it's such a shame
Warchild, your body's broken
Your woman's taken, it's not a game

People once shared your wisdom
Shared your memory, shared your dreams
Now your thoughts have all been shattered
What once was rhythm are now just screams

Warchild, i used to love you
The whole world loved you, we used to care
Warchild, your mind has been emptied
So all you do now is just sit n' stare

People once shared your wisdom
Shared your memory, shared your dreams
Now your thoughts have all been shattered
What once was rhythm are now just screams

Your lady's waiting, she's hesitating
Not knowing why
Warchild, the pain you're showing
The pain is knowing that you're gonna die

People once shared your wisdom
Shared your memory, shared your dreams
Now your thoughts have all been shattered
What once was rhythm are now just screams

(Unknown)

Well good morning freedom
I've been woken to a brand new day
Good morning freedom
Now it seems that you have a different way
Starts today

So now I'm free
And now you're ready to take my chance again
So come with me
And I'll take you to the rainbow's end

Oh good morning freedom

And if you doubt me
Just listen to the fan
And you'll understand

So now I'm free
And now you're ready to take my chance again
So come with me
And I'll take you to the rainbow's end

[guitar solo]

So now I'm free
And now you're ready to take my chance again
So come with me
And I'll take you to the rainbow's end

Song & Emotion

(J.K., Michael Barbiero, Frank Hannon, Tommy Skeoch)

I see him there most ev'ry day,
A lonely man and his guitar.
In his eyes, I see the pain,
All the faces and the places,
All the trouble that he'd seen.

There was a time,
There was a day,
They'd come from miles around.
They all knew his name.
But day's gone by are gone,
Now only memories remain.

Then he starts to play.
Suddenly the pain slowly fades away.
Tattered, torn and frayed,
There's a place within his heart
He'll always save for the song and emotion.
Know he's got to his dyin' day.
Song and emotion.
You can hear him play.
You can still hear him say,
Better run for cover 'cause it looks like rain again!

And now his life is but a shadow of his dreams.
The calm is over, been stormin' for years.
He turns and leans his shoulder to the wind.
Lost again!

All along, on his way to the top,
Somehow, somewhere, something was lost.
Through it all he knew his only friend was
Song and emotion.
Know he's got to his dyin' day.
Song and emotion.

Where are they now, where are those people who promised him his dreams?
Where are they now for this lonely creature on the streets?
Broken, humbled by the cold reality.
Life at the top ain't always what it seems.
Oh, better run for cover, 'cause it looks like rain again.
You best be careful of what you dream,
Of what you dream!

Song and emotion.
Song and emotion.
Song and emotion.
Song and emotion.

Truth? (original demo)

(unknown)

Why don't you tell me what's behind the green door
Why don't you tell me, 'cause I heard it all before
You know the answers, got 'em under lock and key
So why don't you tell me, end this misery

You're a dagger in my side, stripped of all my pride
I listen at you lie
Gonna raise my hand, it's time to make a stand
A voice across the land
Demands

Why don't you tell me the truth
Why don't you tell me the truth

Why don't you tell me, you got things to say
Why don't you do it, gonna throw it all away
Why don't you hear me, when I shout it out so loud
How do you sleep at night with your head up in the clouds

You're the devil in disguise, I'm sick of all your lies
Your hints and alibi's
Gonna raise my hand, it's time to take a stand
A voice across the land
Demands

Why don't you tell me the truth
So I can say I've got a question
Now listen

Can you tell me what the hell is happening
Why the sky is falling
And the heart is calling
And the youth is stalling
And it's over and over again

Come on, come on, come on
You gotta tell me the truth
You don't listen, do ya
The left hand gives
And the right hand takes away
That's the law of the jungle
But you have to learn to play

Why don't you tell me the truth
You better tell me the truth
Come on, why don't you tell me the truth
You gotta tell me the truth

You try with all your might
You never get it right
Can't see the morning light
Was never in your sight

Just like the truth

Wasted - Original

(Clark, Elliott)

Well I've been lying awake all night
Just thinking of you
But a bottle of whiskey lies heavy obstructing my view
You see a bottle of pills to give me my thrills
And I know that I'm leading a life that kills

I've wasted my time
I'm shooting a line
I'm stuck in a hole
I'm losing control

And I've been meaning to call, I've been wanting to phone ya
???You see I don't like the thought of leaving you here alone
???Well I've seen things down here that are fit for a queen
???I've seen things down here that should never be seen

I've wasted my money
I've wasted you honey
I'm out of my brain
I'm going insane

I'm running in thin air
There's nothingness everywhere

I've gotta get out
I've gotta get out
I've gotta get out

I thought I saw you just the other day
But it couldn't be you 'cos you had nothing to say
'He's going away', they told all my friends
Well now I'll be locked in here til' the misery ends

I've commited no crime
But it just ain't my time
I'm out of my head
I wish I was dead
