There is an elite Fueled by deprivation, humiliation of an underclass In all society, democratic or otherwise Natural grouping within its structure Two, three or more gathered There you’ll find Supremacy Give us what we can’t get on our own Give us entertainment to keep us calm Give us reassurance that we’re sane Give us the focus to pin the blame Give us independence in our world Give us ambition that must be earned Kept in the moment Kept in the moment now Give us debate that can’t be heard Kept in the moment Kept in the moment now Could change in a moment Could spin out of range All those changes kept in line To change what we can’t agree on To change while we can’t agree To change what we can To change while we can To change there are lots of changes To change while it goes through phases To change going to like what we’re changing Just wait, you’ll love what we’re making To change going to like how we’re changing Cape Town’s tearful emotional Insane, not that innocent Sydney’s walkabout nation Kept in the moment Kept in the moment now Hong Kong center of finance Moscow seems so social Kind of people who want you Kept in the moment Kept in the moment now London becomes vocal Presides over everything New York leading distortion Kept in the moment Kept in the moment now Havana can become fearsome Not because of those who enter Signs all leading to Rio Kept in the moment Kept in the moment now We are rudimentary all the same Our societies build and discard Like pistons we’re going nowhere Always traveling with the belief That we’re making progress Our energy expelled and passed on As we venture along this never ending road of conquest In small groups to mighty empires we assemble our own company We rise to fulfill to see our true potential And realize our worth as we conquer and own And eventually our energy subsides Our only real value is expelled through this journey of self-belief

I was taken and detained Tried to socially educate Never realized that I’d been sold For a sizeable chunk of gold Every time they’d fool you with loving Even sold my soul for near nothing If there’s something that you need They’ll go out their way to please Let’s take this to a personal level Did ancient time appear to know better? I don’t know what you want or ought to do Just imagine designing what they chase I’ve been given little tolerance over Eyes in the faces, but they do not open At the time the world was debating if Billie Jean’s an exceptional lover Entertainment saw a new light They’d hide in the middle, but they’d end up fighting Oh my, ain’t that something now? Was it really so out of control, wow? Do you take to predicting the weather? Don’t you think that you should know better? I tend to take a walk outside Before I’m judging wrong from right Hey people Don’t you feel better now? Dictator Freedom is everything I’ve just seen the words Written by your hand Don’t you know that you’re alive? Is there something I could say? I was sick like you before I was so low Until I saw the sign I know you’ll board the train One day One day I was dead through the unknown I was so untouchable I had sunk beneath the waves Reaching out for different goals Give it one last try Open up your fallow mind Hey We’re out in the cold world now Uncertain not forsaken though All these con men calling my name What do I say? No one’s going to take my freedom People try but I will not let them If I’m pulled into their plan I’ll push them away Give me unconditional love I found in a broken down radio Imitation, hidden laws They really can get you Even if you don’t see them They’ll track you down because they’re sworn to defeat you With fire and a chemical grave You’ve really been sold Ah Ah Ah Ah You can not die As the moment changes All that you find Is overplayed Keep it in mind Give us higher power Gonna sell it to ya Gonna sell it to ya Gonna sell it to ya Gonna sell it to ya Your life will change

I was comatosed But I have to say I don’t criticize no one Every time I drank I’d be nearly dead From polluted alcohol I was sick inside my skull By the summer could not recall Tell me if And I would never mind If I remembered why Tell me that So I can take a photograph That never fades Was I compromised By a bottle saved? I won’t criticize no one ‘Cos I don’t hear nothing around But a strange kind of muffled sound Hey child, it won’t leave us alone But I can’t understand it all There’s wonder on the faces And wonder in the lull To a strange kind of muffled sound Hate is all around Hate is all around Wonder on the faces Wonder in the lull I was sickened by the photograph I saw Were we compromised By the bottle saved? Can’t we criticize no one? Every time we drank We were nearly dead From polluted alcohol Hey child, listen for the phone I tell you now, the bell will ring I don’t hear a rustled tree Just a strange kind of muffled sound Just a strange kind of muffled sound Just a strange kind of muffled sound There is out there a constant malevolent force And it seems to move between a parody and common legitimate course What you don’t understand, you don’t need to question if it’s all the same ‘Cos it’s taken its toll through the lies, the just, and those who treated it as a game

Each time you’ll feel much better Yes, you’re going to feel better Want to know why you’ll feel much better? I promise you’ll feel better Ah – Kill you with kindness Ah – Kill you with kindness Killed you with kindness Every guise, every cause Every feeling that you can’t explain Kindness Every kind, every cure Every body that you’ve never seen Kindness Won’t you let me lay my hand? Lay my hands Hey, sometimes we’re forgiven Hey, sometimes Hey, something we’re forgiven Sometimes Sometimes Everyone’s tired of pain Everyone’s tired of pain Hours of time Hours of time Hours of time Hours of time Everyone’s tired of pain Tired of pain So you call me so many times Hours and hours you find me patient Hours and hours you call my name All I believe now is out there All I believe is now there At this point I feel great Everything once so uncertain suddenly seems safe Each day I wake Seeing them as moments I must face Everybody knows exactly how I’m feeling Filling up my heart, just glowing with belief in Everyone is so good hearted People I can call on Welcome to the hospital Sit down there in the row I can taste metal And my depression grows I can’t let it bring me down I’d like to ask someone to find the way But no one comes and what would they say? I – I must have broken down Eats me now Heinous corpuscles Determined to get ya (x2) Every guise, every cause Every feeling that you can’t explain Kindness Every kind, every cure Every body that you’ve never seen Kindness Won’t you let me lay my hand? Lay my hands Find myself in a caustic sarcophagus That’s corroding and eating my soul If I slip down into the cavern I’ll never come out and I’ll be condemned Pay someone to take this away from me I will give you all that I own Peddlers, traders, all hawking placebos No one knows what in life will befall

Dreams are like a river Finding their own way Searching for each other Till they reach the sea Fire is our emotion Burning to decay Anger simply pressure Focused into rage

Would you take it personally, they said? Ultimate understanding through images Every time a photograph would change Innocent lives falter They make you listen to them Then they’d show I was sick and sometimes I’d watch it Only so much I think I could bear Okay…it’s OK But you don’t seem to know what’s wrong I was patient but time had succumb me There was something encumbering my soul So you’ve never even known I was ridiculed You clearly don’t understand There were something wrapped in emotion There was something clearly out of hand What you see you can never rely on And you never know what you can see But I’ll tell you I’m no liar What you see is killing again Oh, you’ll never really understand Oh, you’ll never understand I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you About it all I was there Falling in line Listening to songs One at a time I was strong Broken inside Needing the wine Openly sober And I hear your voice Clear and defined Healing my mind Openly sober Nothing is too sad to calm your way There’s nothing that is timeless And when you finally find you found your way No one will be silent If you’re finding your way If you’re finding your way Discovery is constant Go out and understand this life Your way Your way I was taken by science Reconstructed my soul The asylum of science Through a chemical code All that I’ve freely become Is an atomical load ‘Cos they’ve taken the science And they’re claiming our goal There’s a chemical maker A scholar of literature Who says we’re created From degenerate chemicals All life Did you not notice the science within us? Did you not notice the science within us? All good meaning now comes to Earth Did you not notice? Did you not notice the science within us? Did you not notice the science within us? All good meaning now comes to Earth Did you not notice the science within us? People said there are lines and borders And that killing is not something that’s right Hours embedded in chambers In blocks on window sills At the time we were merely strangers Reading papers on polymer growth All the answers that were written by her All equations they had changed Did you not notice the science within us? Did you not notice the science within us? All good meaning now comes to Earth Did you not notice the science within us? Did you not notice the science within us? Did you not notice the science within us? Did you not notice the science within us? Did you not notice the science within us? The science within us The science within us The science within us The science within us Progression’s found at the gates of freedom And deeply relies on subconscious flow Why then are there states and regimes That crush the thought through submissive rule? Did they notice the fire in the main room of the labyrinth site of mutiny’s change? Do they not understand? It lives on beyond our eyes, beyond the grave

There are things that no one can deny Life is short and quickly passes by Thoughts are formed, problems ironed out Guilt and worry soon become regret Then there is a time for reasoning Hours fly by ruminating What you saw can’t be what it was Where are the dreams you struggled for? I thought you’d understand Taken by the hand Here then something changes You’ve taken a little of my life Thrown it down before my eyes Grilled it and criticized Ever the wiser Emotions and pleasure From that second it tears you to go I would answer Each question they’d ask me Always taking interesting roads Easily please them with banter I’d tease them and Invitations ensued I’ll never know why I’d taken the last train that evening I should have just gone straight home Didn’t they know why the signal had changed? Didn’t they know why the signal had changed? Didn’t they know why? Didn’t they know why? Didn’t they know why the signal had changed? There was a man standing on the forecourt of a railway station Waving his arms, trying to catch your attention He waited outside your window as you got up this morning Signaling like a fool, trying to make contact In the hope to avoid the catastrophe that awaits you He now sits incapacitated on the curb outside your work Wondering why he was ever given the job to pre-warn you Some say he is an angel A personal semaphore I believe He’s a figment of your imagination

I told you so We’re bound together Every soul must fight another If you can save us There’s nothing breaking us I don’t know where I will stay As it goes by, I’m tired again Every life fears another Every thought describes one other I will stand my ground On a different plane The stars and the roses climb Keep growing whilst other sigh Every time we falter Beyond the death bell tolls I don’t know my time As it comes by this way

To color is not to fake it Tomorrow we shall embrace it To color is not to fake it Tomorrow we shall replace it Here in a strange time And the heart becomes a weight ‘til One day you’ll return The day you will return There we’ll find a new tomorrow Then we’ll turn another page Today through the heartache and the sorrow We will be redeemed The greatest souls endeavor To bring the world together The greatest souls endeavor To take this world forever The greatest souls endeavor We’ll take the world together The greatest souls endeavor To take the world As the world turns around Year after year And so the world turns Year after year And so the world turns Year after year And so the world turns Year after year And so the world turns

A still in a force ten gale Only as I rest inside your tumbling waves Oceans rise as they come and take Open I will celebrate my fate Open How I’ve long sometimes to be held and bathed Open But here surely lies a common faith Open Ah, I see now, I’m falling Ever closer, falling under Was I taken away? Did I leave you behind? We were stricken with pain In the chill of the find Couldn’t rest in my soul Please keep it in mind We were bonded by blood If you cannot resolve Do not search who’s to blame It will lessen in time As the past moves away All our thoughts, they were fueled by emotion All the reasons we climbed and the cost All the findings and failed intervention All the people we helped and crossed There were rivers that flowed to the ocean There were streams that would simply get lost But they’d rise to the sky to become one Restoring the world as it was All that you fear is gone Keep going straight Keep going straight Keep going straight
Ticket in hand Bounded for openness Onto the road we all go Empty but nonetheless How did you get here When you’re on your own? Nothing I can’t take care of Honesty is all we know Can you face it? Now the borders have gone Everything is ours Can you face it? Now the borders have gone Promises so futile Was everything, was everything that open? Was everything open to you? Why did I not know? In the cover of the world Conversation that unfurled Was there something that we weren’t told? You promised to be open too How did you get here When you’re on your own? Nothing I can’t take care of Honesty is all we know Why now? Why now? I’ll never know Why now? Why now? I’ll never know Did you fool yourself? Did you follow all The homeless souls? Why did I not know? Borders and days There’s nothing and there’s no reply Because you know Even if you had the time to ask It’s started There’ll be things we’ll never see No one ever dares to go Through lives of strangers Are we really so alone? Even if we care to Share the light that made us

The day before he suffered He broke bread into his holy venerable hands And his eyes lifted up to heaven Unto God the almighty father Giving thanks to thee He blessed, broke And gave to his disciples, saying “Take and eat ye all of this For this is my body This is my blood” All who are sinners in life Fear not of death From the mount, through the bordering town They ran and proclaimed his sacred name No one will understand life Until the whole world is changed Oh – how can I give any more? Gave to you all Feel the pain – oh Here – and I feel so alone Did you know now? How could you not know? Keeping track how Isn’t that so? If you know now How could you not know? Keep on going Just making it so An exceptional soul on the face of it If you’d fallen, less would know I wouldn’t go with the notion That you didn’t understand what you’d end up here for All that changed in our time Is flesh and bone in a “chlorine free” cover I don’t want to partake in Keeping the laws that you didn’t have faith in It’s international It’s international Miles and miles and miles of rational Hours and hours of confusion I can’t see why We’re stretched in time Done all you say How’s it changed? Does no one try To compromise? Hoping to save our souls Keeping the finest for us Knowing is something we don’t need We don’t need another savior Keeping your form by the fireside Drying your feet with our hair Thinking it over Thinking it over Get tired of all the pain If it’s over Time isn’t only time If it’s under Are we so sane? Get us over Time is our only life Get us under Time isn’t time Innocents over What’s meant by the secular soul? Good question evoke It’s only the time left People do know Even if freedom’s their goal What is this now? What is this life rising above me? What is this now? Taking us all over, rising above me What is this now? What is this world rising above me? What is this now? What is this crazed sphere rising above me? Over and over I fear – Forced intervention I hear – Heroes and blessings I fear – Ancients and torture I hear – Killers and soldiers I fear – Angels and mortals I hear – Culls using oceans I fear – People won’t listen The vision of Heaven should die here
