All Roads Lead Here

The morning bird sings at dawn
No-one listens to his song
He don’t care though he flys away
Leaves us all with our labour day
Keep on walking along
Read your papers and your magazines
Keep your eyes on those T.V. screens
They’re gonna tell you the way it is
It’s all we’ve known, it’s the way it is
Keep on running, along
Don’t be afraid, tonight
All roads lead here left or right
It don’t matter which way you go
Just go the way you know
If you talk, don’t talk what’s taught
Say what you have seen
To look is not to see I’m told
I can see you looking at me
Keep on walking, along
It’s too late your soul is sold
You took the bribe, go spend your gold
I’m sorry you must stay behind
Don’t you worry there’ll be other times
Keep on running along
Don’t be afraid, tonight
All roads lead here left or right
It don’t matter how fast you go
‘Cause some go fast, and some go slow
Your road’s gonna take you home tonight
My road’s gonna take me home tonight
Your road’s gonna take me home tonight
My road’s gonna take you home tonight

The Sun King and the Goddess of the Moon
The child that came forth from her womb
So he could live they had to die
A sacrifice decided long ago
They say the child will rule with a dark reign
Bring upon us suffering and pain
But what if her lost soul that August night
Was added to the Goddess in us all?
The child’s reign might fall
If he heard his mothers call
Through us all
Pont de L’Alma
The Sun King and the Goddess of the Moon
The child that came forth from her womb
So he could live they had to die
A sacrifice decided long ago
Written long ago
By those we do not know
And they still won’t show
Pont de L’Alma

The Life I Didn't Choose
07:02
|

Viewed from a distance
It seems like something I’ve longed for
But I know if I go there
I'll want to be where I was
But when I'm where I am
I don't feel I'm doing all I can
The life I didn't choose
The life I didn't choose
I think I'm wasting all my time
Is it wasted if it's all mine?
Is my star gonna rise
Is my sun gonna shine
Can I last the night
I’ve been doped and altered
Learning not to use my eyes
Stuck in this moment
Time has left me behind
Time did not get me where I am
Time is not on my side
The life I didn't choose
The life I didn't choose
Grass is greener on the other side
Show me the way to the other side
Is my star gonna rise
Is my sun gonna shine
Can I last the night
Is my star gonna rise
Is my sun gonna shine
Is my star gonna shine
Is my sun gonna rise
Did I choose right?

The Witch's Son

No matter how hard
You stare at the sun
It keeps on rising
Rising over those eastern hills
Destroying the night
Destroying the night
With a thousand thousand colours in her arms
All those colours in her arms
Stubborn as the day
You arrived in my arms
I believe in you my child
I believe in you son
Wisdom never paid
Wisdom never paid
You much attention at all
Never paid you much at all
For you, I would stare the hot sun from the sky, for you
For you, I would live all of my lives, for you
Come on, and slip inside all of my dreams, come on
Slip into the night, slip into the night, slip into the night
Angers not afraid
I forgive you my son
I always got paid with pain
Running straight through my veins
I have given you my heart
I have given you my heart
But still I live for another day
Live for another day
For you, I would stare the hot sun from the sky, for you
For you, I would live all of my lives, for you
Come on, and slip inside all of my dreams, come on
Slip into the night, slip into the night, slip into the night
I would live all my lives, and take the blame every time
Until the sun burns from the sky
Until the last star has died
And then we’ll slip into the night
And wait there for the morning light

Forget your troubles come on get happy
You better chase all your cares away
Sing hallelujah c’mon get happy
Get ready for the judgement day
The sun is shining c’mon get happy
The lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout hallelujah c’mon get happy
We’re going to the promised land
Were heading ‘cross the river
Wash your sins away in the tide
Hallelujah, hallelujah
It’s all so peaceful on the other side
Forget your troubles c'mon get happy
Your cares fly away
Shout hallelujah, get happy
Get ready for the judgment day
Sun is shining c’mon get happy
The lord is waiting to take your hand
Shout hallelujah, get happy
We’re going to the promised land
Come all you sinners
Come you sinners gather round
Hallelujah, hallelujah
What once was lost is found
A land where the weary
Forever are free
Hallelujah, hallelujah
It's there for you and me
Get ready
Get ready for the judgement day

Passing Thoughts
08:57

Nothing worth doing is easy
And you’re making it all so hard
Success only comes, when you can’t care less
Girl, you’re thinking about it too hard
Time is a diamond
That the light shines upon
So near, but you say, it’s still too far away
And you got maps, charts and a guiding star
But still you don’t know where you are
We're all waiting for a man
A man with a plan
The perfect plan
We hope he can
While we wait for that man
We'll do all we can
While we wait for the man
He hopes we can
I thought about writing for God
But he’s very hard to please
And if the Devil has got all the best tunes
So I guess I’ll make do with these
The world is turning far too fast today
I’m sat here hoping it’s all gonna pass
Sometimes, I get lost for words
So I guess I’ll stop singing now

I got my ticket out of here, I just gotta catch that train
I’m looking for the station, but the signs have all been changed
It seems that I have lost track of time, but I know the hour is late
The train is leaving right on time
If I miss it, well that’s just fine
‘Cause I’m on the road, the street called straight
And I’m in my Rocket 88
And I’m alright
Yeah I feel alright
I’m in my Rocket 88
And I’m alright
Ahead is the day
Behind me the night
I’m on the northbound interstate
Heading for the light
C’mon everybody, leave it all behind
I get so caught up in the journey, and my eyes wander from the road
It’s easy to forget where you’re going when you’re out here all alone
But then my gaze is drawn to the light, ‘cause when I’m in the darkness it shines so bright
I been down so low, been up so high
Trying to stare the sun from the sky
I’ve been soaking up the colours, taking in the sights
Been doing it since `77, I’ll do it til I die
And I feel alright
I’m in my Rocket 88
Yeah I’m just fine
The sky is grey
The Horizon’s bright
I’m in an altered state
In and out of time
And I’m alright
Yeah I feel alright
I’m in my Rocket 88
And I’m alright
Ahead is the day
Behind me the night
I’m on the northbound interstate
Heading for the light
C’mon everybody, lets leave this place tonight

Sea of Lies
07:03
|
|||
|
If you wanna see truth
Stop using those blue eyes
They won’t ever rescue you
From a sea of lies
Even with all I’ve learnt
I still keep getting my fingers burnt
But my boat nears the shore
On the sea of lies
It’s gonna get worse
Before it gets better
But I’d rather be here
Than in a sea of lies
The sun lights the way to the land
The moon pulls you this way, and that way
It’s hard to keep your head above
In a sea of lies
My boat drifts on yeah
Across the sea
When my boat hits dry land yeah
I will be free
Then I’ll climb that mountain
Will you climb it with me?
'Cause we can see from the mountain
All those souls lost at sea

Drones
09:34
|

|
Come on make my mind up for me
I will be what you want me to be
Give you my mind
Give you it all
I will believe when you tell me I'm free
Only see what you want me to see
You see these eyes
It's all they're for
I won't question the way things are
Never take things a step too far
I'll stay in my box
I’ll throw no rocks
My idea of subversity
Is shouting things at my T.V.
"What's the use
?Things won't change anyway"
Cos we don't know we're born
Born to be a drone
And we can’t be ourselves
If we're just like everyone else
We are born into slavery
A prison with bars that we cannot see
We cannot touch them
We have to feel them
Me I could have been someone
Lived my dreams and had some fun
But I didn't have time
So I fell in line
Cos we don't know we're born
Born to be a drone
And we can't be ourselves
If we're just like everyone else
If we give away our minds
There will come a time
When we forget how and why
And the truth will surely die

Outside In
06:20
|

|
The tears of joy filled my eyes
The day I came to realise
The axe that lay upon my neck
Was held by no one but myself
Just think twice and you will find
Heaven’s just a state of mind
There’s no hell below us here
There’s just a place of guilt and fear
If you always do what you’ve always done
You’ll always get what you always got
Round and round and round you go
Where you stop you already know
‘Cause Where you are is where you been
Same old story, different scene
Until you learn the outside’s in
Where you began is where you’ll begin
If you’re looking for a saviour, the saviour is inside
Looking for the answers, the answers are inside
I’m always searching for a true love
In this broken world outside
But this broken world just breaks my heart
And breaks my world inside
My world inside
Is my world outside
My world inside
Is my world outside
