The Road Home

Holy Mother of God You've got to go faster than that to get to the top Dirty old mountain all covered in smoke She can turn you to stone So you better start doing it right Better start doing it right You're halfway up and you're halfway down And the pack on your back is turning you around Throw it away, you won't need it up there And remember, you don't look back Whatever you do Better start doing it right On your left and on your right Crosses are green and crosses are blue Your friends didn't make it through Out of the night and out of the dark Into the fire and into the fight Well, that's the way the heroes go, ho, ho, ho Through a crack in Mother Earth Blazing hot, the molten rock, spills out over the land And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away Hey, hey, hey, if you don't want to boil as well Be-be-better start the dance D-d-do you want to dance with me? You better start doing it right The music's playing, the notes are right Put your left foot first and move into the light The edge of this hill is the edge of the world And if you're going to cross you better start doing it right Better start doing it right You better start doing it right Let the dance begin (Songwriters: Anthony Banks, Michael Rutherford, Philip Collins, Steven Hackett. Original version appears on A Trick of the Tail, released February 2, 1976, on Atlantic Records)

Faster moment spent spread tales of change within the sound Counting form through rhythm electric freedom Moves to counter-balance stars expound our conscience All to know and see The look in your eyes Passing time will reach as nature relays to set the scene New encounters spark a true fruition Guiding lines we touch them Our bodies balance out the waves As we accelerate our days To the look in your eyes From the moment I reached out to hold I felt a sound And what touches our soul slowly moves as touch rebounds And to know that tempo will continue lost in trance of dances As rhythm takes another turn As is my want I only reach To look in your eyes Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha Cha (Songwriters: Alan White, Chris Squire, Jon Anderson, Patrick Moraz, Steve Howe. Original version appears on Relayer, released November 28, 1974, on Atlantic Records)

See me, what I am, what I was, what I'll be Hear me, understand that I'm not what you see Take this, take the man, middle term, common me Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do? Nothing more and nothing less than you Read no thoughts I didn't think myself Just the same as anybody else Make me someone else, put me up on a stand Something that I don't really want on my hands Use me, idolize all you can understand Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do? Nothing more and nothing less than you Read no thoughts I didn't think myself Just the same as anybody else Change it, what you think, what you thought, what you say Look for something more than you sought yesterday I don't want to be part of your life today Don't you see that I'm just doing what I want to do Nothing more and nothing less than you Read no thoughts I didn't think myself Just the same as anybody else (Songwriters: Kerry Minnear, Derek Shulman, Ray Shulman. Original version appears on Free Hand, released July 1, 1975, on Chrysalis Records [U.K.] and Capitol Records [U.S.])

I. Soon (Yes) II. Supper's Ready (Genesis) III. I Talk to the Wind (King Crimson) Said the straight man to the late man "Where have you been?" I've been here and I've been there And I've been in between I talk to the wind My words are all carried away I talk to the wind The wind does not hear, the wind cannot hear I'm on the outside looking inside What do I see? Much confusion, disillusion All around me I talk to the wind My words are all carried away I talk to the wind The wind does not hear, the wind cannot hear IV. And You and I (Yes)

This track is instrumental.

Is this song not instrumental?

I. Eruption (00:00-02:29; length 2:29) [Instrumental] II. Stones of Years (02:29-08:04; length 5:35) Has the dawn ever seen your eyes? Have the days made you so unwise? Realize, you are Had you talked to the winds of time Then you'd know how the waters rhyme Taste of wine How can you know where you've been? In time you'll see the sign And realize your sin Will you know how the seed is sown? All your time has been overgrown Never known Have you walked on the stones of years? When you speak, is it you that hears? Are your ears full? You can't hear anything at all III. Iconoclast (08:04-09:19; length 1:15) [Instrumental] IV. Mass (09:19-12:28; length 3:09) The preacher said a prayer Said every single hair on his head Is dead The minister of hate had just arrived too late to be spared Who cared? The weaver in the web that he made! The pilgrim wandered in Committing every sin that he could So good... The cardinal of grief was set in his belief he'd be saved From the grave The weaver in the web that he made! The high priest took a blade To bless the ones that prayed And all obeyed The messenger of fear is slowly growing, nearer to the time A sign The weaver in the web that he made! A bishops rings a bell A cloak of darkness fell across the ground Without a sound! The silent choir sing and in their silence Bring jaded sound, harmonic ground The weaver in the web that he made! V. Manticore (12:28-14:12; length 1:44) [Instrumental] VI. Battlefield (14:12-18:12; length 4:00) Clear the battlefield and let me see All the profit from our victory You talk of freedom, starving children fall Are you deaf when you hear the season's call? Were you there to watch the earth be scorched? Did you stand beside the spectral torch? Know the leaves of sorrow turned their face Scattered on the ashes of disgrace Every blade is sharp; the arrows fly We're the victims of your army's lie We're the blades of grass and arrows rain Then there'd be no sorrow, be no pain VII. Aquatarkus (18:12-22:47; length 4:35) [Instrumental] (Songwriters: Keith Emerson, Greg Lake. Original version appears on Tarkus, released June 14, 1971, on Island Records.)
