But still the nightmare lingers on Different singers provide the same old song And it seems that nobody fights to right the wrongs Cos still it’s power and greed When will someone sow the seed? Love and peace II – The watcher in the wings I’m watching, I’m waiting, I’m watching… WATCHING… WAITING… WATCHING… WAITING… WATCHING… WAITING… WATCHING… WAITING… The innocent are sent to fight in distant lands To feed a fearful need to play out wicked plans To feed the men in power’s apocalyptic dreams How many politicians hear the frightened screams? How many final hours before the war is won? How many snuffed-out souls before your will is done? WATCHING… WAITING… WATCHING… WAITING… III – End Game How many mothers’ cries will it take to make you see? Turn away from greed We’re all the same you see We’re all one family you know If we could learn to all agree And as another dawn evades the setting sun Will the triggered-fingers let go of their guns? And will the fighting hearts turn to nobler ends? If we gave peace a chance I’m sure we could be friends Then would the power and the greed Still feel the need to linger on? Page Break Wide Of The Mark And now the battle lines are drawn The closing of a life reborn The cloying of a heart that’s free Belies this seismic symmetry And as the open book is shut We both await the final cut In time the dark will come for me But for now… It’s wide of the mark You hold the future in your hand A life in every grain of sand A hope in every heart set free But it seems not for me When I feel the pain is gone The memory comes to me All we built our life upon A sun that shone Our love… Is wide of the mark And when our heats both disagree Of what true love is meant to be We’re all just stardust in the end Pawns to what the future sends And as the curtains start to close A hundred feelings decompose Although the nightmare’s overslept A dream of love is kept Though a darkness comes to me I’ve sown the seed of love Bullets aimed from unkind heart They all target me But… They’re wide of the mark And when our hearts both disagree Of what true love was meant to be It’s just all heartache in the end And for now… We’re wide of the mark I can feel a light so near It’s so warm the feeling’s clear We were meant to be as one Back again where we belong Sing again a happy song Get on our feet Like two forgotten friends A love that never ends Forever you and me Us instead of me Will it ever come to pass that we will be together? Look ahead and forget the past? Well right now it’s wide of the mark It’s just so wide of the mark It’s so wide It’s so wide Page Break Will The Future Hold? Now the racing’s run The talking’s at an end And the foes retreat Into bunkers they descend Haunting spectres gaze ahead to darker days As the dream now fades…oh Will the future hold? We must now wait While demons hold our fate in their sweating palms All the talking’s come too late Still the spectres gaze into the dark abyss As our hopes all fade…oh What does the future hold? Will the gathering throng as one accept the pain? Of another world where no one will remain Does our future lie with the bidding of the few? Will a button’s press hail the dawn of mushroomed-doom? Will the future hold? Will the future hold? Will the future hold? Page Break Attack (Instrumental) Page Break Epitaph A billion souls cry out across a wasted land Another billion hide and fail to understand But no…it doesn’t seem to matter much to me Their voices echo out across the great divide Evolving consequences choose to take a side But no…it doesn’t seem to matter much to me A multi-coloured sound of luminosity The fighting in this land is over The hearts and minds of those alive are now set free The fighting in this land is over For those that see it’s not a dream The searing light is fading now The population flees To the edges of the sea To drown the memories Of it’s long forgotten seeds New awakenings, unforsakenings For the wringing of their sins And what the nightmare brings Oh Reaper if you call on me to bring my final day I’m not ready to repent my sins Don’t take my breath away Take me back, take us back to the time when we were free Take me back, take us back where the rain’s not hurting me Take me back, take us back, please… To the shallows of the sea Where the waves are washing me And the sun shone bright upon my smiling face And God smiled down upon the human race A time before the darkness fell on me Take me back, set my senses free Take me back, please… A faded artefact of long-forgotten dreams The fighting in this land is over Fade into history for now or so it seems The fighting in this land is over For those that see it’s not a dream The searing light is fading now We remain to sow the seeds Awakening new creeds What Mother Nature breeds A vein for future bleeds Fade away A brand new day The Fates will play With us today Page Break Now That You’re Loving Me I was facing this existence all alone With no loving I was chilled to the bone Then the time came when life brought you to me My cold heart skipped a beat You set my heart free Now we lay here and you hold me in your arms Hold me tightly and keep me from harm All my worries and fears drift away In the cold light of day You keep them at bay Hold me closely and everything’s right There’s no worries when you hold me tight Now the dawn light creeps slowly ‘cross the room All the problems of a new day loom They mean nothing cos you are here with me In the cold light of day You keep them at bay Looking back on the time I was alone With no loving, so chilled to the bone I’m so glad that those times are dead and gone My heart is your home Our loving can grow Life is good now that you’re loving me Life is good now that you’re loving me Page Break Reprise (Give Peace Its Day) Take me back, take us back to the time when we were free Take me back, take us back where the rain’s not hurting me Take me back, take us back, please… It begins with a feeling From the depths of your soul A charge to set the senses reeling As our halves are now whole A chilling stillness haunts the room Where others lead we will follow Is all this really happening? As all the bodies around us Congregate on the floor They all moved in one direction Then they breathed no more As they attempt to find some solace A tortured army marching onwards To gain a slipping laddered foothold On the rung of peace A futile beckoning promise Solidifies out of fear A silent nightmare begins its dawning As the years go slowly by The many start to live the lie of a failing love And they still rue the day When the Reaper came to play So it began with that feeling From deep down inside their souls Will time allow a partial healing? Feelings of that fateful day …on and on… The memories linger on and on Give peace its day Oh give peace its day Please just give peace its day Ending/Outro When the day is done And I am all alone Then the memories stream Forming shapings of their own Haunting spectres gaze A glimpse of darker days From a fading dream….oh Will the future hold a saving of their souls? As the starving crowd hold out their empty bowls Does their duty lie with the many or the few? As their lies affect the waning lives of me and you We now must walk where angels fear to tread Filling up our hearts with a dark unholy dread The gathering throng moves slowly ‘cross the plain To another world where only we remain Will Man’s new destiny really find the best in me? Can the faintest hope cause our race to rest at ease? Will our beating hearts, wrenched apart still find an inner peace? Or will the past remain to force Apocalypse’s release? A new-born hope clears the stifling haze A hope to re-arrange the errors of our race’s former ways Through life’s eternal gaze Let the spark become a blaze Let the power and the greed recede into the past …Love… …Love and peace… …Peace and understanding… Let it breed Let us feel the need to work as one again The motion has begun Let the setting sun heal the wounds of darker days Let us move along a path of inner peace A chance to breathe again A chance to live again A chance to all be friends Lead us all the way Let us hope and pray That what was the final day Becomes the one that starts a brand new age
