Icarus Falling
You pushed to make me fall
But I stood firm
Both feet planted on the ground
You flew toward the sun
And from afar
I saw you fall down
I believe in me
And I am free
From you
And your crazy expectations
Your downtown desolation
Your private hell
The power games you played so well

Evil
Evil's got a new skin
It trades under a new name
Evil's got a brand new pitch-line
It's all smoke and mirrors, nothing has changed
Evil walks among us
It's wearing a new disguise
Evil is a wolf in sheep's clothing
With foul breath and vile eyes
It feeds on fear
It feeds on hate
It will blind your eyes
And bind you in chains
It's evil!
Evil's making a comeback
Got some new tricks up it's sleeve
Evil sells falsehoods and illusions
To any old fool who wants to believe
False prophets
Spreading lies
Follow the money
And you'll see why
It's evil!
Evil moves in high circles
Rubs shoulder with the powers that be
Yeah, evil pulls the strings now
Can't you see it? Can't you see?
Senile old leaders
Cheats and liars
Play with matches
The world's on fire
It's evil!

The Loveliest Place Of All
Everything changes, everything flows
Summer comes and the summer goes
Mother Nature has lost her glow
World turns brown, where can I go?
Of all the places I recall
Paris is the loveliest of all
When she basks in the glow
Of the amber lustre of the fall
Squares and boulevards, like picture postcards
She walked on by and caught my eye
Streetlights above, the promise of love
I felt giddy and light, the bohemian life
Of all the places I recall
Paris is the loveliest of all
When she basks in the glow
Of the amber lustre of the fall
People I've met, sights I've seen
No city brings back such sweet memories
Like the city of love, the city of light
Where my heart caught fire, oh, fleeting desire
Of all the places i recall
Paris is the loveliest of all
When she basks in the glow
Of the amber lustre of the fall

Walk Away
If you don't like what you're doing
You're not doing what you like
If you feel your being trapped
By the comforts of your life
If working hard ain't working out
You can no longer suck it up
If swallowing your rage
Feels like drinking from a poison cup
You gotta walk away
Walk away and make a change
You gotta walk away
Walk away and make a change
If you can't see the difference
Between the hammer and the nail
If you gave it all you've got
The time has come to bail
You gotta walk away
Walk away and make a change
You gotta walk away
Walk away and make a change
Poor boy, they say that quitters never win
You're saving your life, now that can't be a sin...
You gotta walk away
Walk away and make a change
You gotta walk away
Walk away and make a change

Worlds Apart
Darling, I've been waiting
For you to talk to me
Darling, you know I've been changing
But i can't change the way you feel
I can't change the way you feel
Darling, when you're hurting
It really hurts me too
Darling, you know that I love you
But I can't get through to you
I can't get through to you
Darling, you've been building
A wall around your heart
Darling, I'm so afraid we'll end up
Drifting worlds apart
Drifting worlds apart

The Low Lands By The Sea

The Low Lands By The Sea
The far horizon
The low sky
Pastures of green
Battered old shoreline
Waves crash
The cruel sea
Come live with me
In the lowlands by the sea
Seagulls soar high
Trees line
A narrow road
Down in the delta
Mudflats
The mighty river flows
Come live with me
In the lowlands by the sea

Rain (On A Sunday Afternoon)
Rain, on a Sunday afternoon
Rain, and I haven't got a clue
Where I lost my way
Can't see the forest for the trees
Rain, what is happening to me
Time, keeps ticking away
Time, we're all actors in a play
There's a time to remember
There's a time to forget
Time, keeps messin' with my head
Rain, on a Sunday afternoon
Rain, and I need some room to move
Don't know what the future holds
I can't see what's up the road
Rain or shine, I'm ready to roll

Everybody Feels The Cold
There is fear in the world
i feel it everywhere I go
Shivers run down my spine
Every time the death bell tolls
There's a shadow in the land
It goes from door to door
Come home late at night
Find your baby on the floor
This time has been foretold
The world spun round until it froze
Everybody feels the cold
Better keep your loved ones close
Deadly silence in the town
After the sun gone down
Everybody lock their house
Pale horseman goes around
This time has been foretold
The world spun round until it froze
Everybody feels the cold
Better keep your loved ones close

People On A Train
People on a train
Faces all the same
Into a blur they fade
All I see is gray
Are they happy with their lives?
Are there colors in their skies?
Everyday we ride
And life passes by
I'm a stranger on a train
Nobody knows my name
By the time you awake
I'll be on my way
I'm rolling down the line
On the 06:45
Don't wait up for me tonight
Daddy's working overtime
Overtime
I'm rolling down the line
Rolling down the line

Mountains Of The Moon
I float above the mountains of the moon
I don't want to be here but can't leave too soon
The blue earth below, my shadow on the slopes
I'm weightless and adrift like a balloon
High above the mountains of the moon
High above the mountains of the moon
The mountains of the moon
I was driving down the Old Grind Road
One hour past midnight, the moon glowed
I was tired, I must've been speeding
I let go of the wheel and I lost control
I saw the mountains of the moon
I saw the mountains of the moon
The mountains of the moon
Do you remember when life was a wide open space?
When the world was as young and fresh as your face?
When a day was a canvas to be filled with color
With hieroglyphs, mysterious shapes
Of the mountains of the moon
Of the mountains of the moon
The mountains of the moon
They say there's a ghost on the Old Grind Road
One hour past midnight when the moon glows
Is it just an old tale, nobody knows
I'm tired and scared and i want to go home
But oh, the mountains of the moon
I won't be leaving soon
The mountains of the moon
I won't be leaving soon
The mountains of the moon

Whiskey And Wine
Bring me my liquor, bring me my wine
A man can't be sober all of the time
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
I drink when I want to
I drink 'cause I must
I can't move my legs, I can't move my arms
I don't understand what's doing me harm
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
Who can I turn to?
Who can I trust?
Bring me my liquor, bring me my wine
It's whiskey I love, whiskey I despise
The chain on my door has begun to rust
Ashes to ashes
Crumbling to dust
