Peace Among the Ruins
I slipped through the cracks this time And for now I'm doing fine I will never tempt the hand of fate Millions falling right and left While I stand alone but yet Took a lot of chances with my life... With my life Battle lines, waste of time, I better keep on movin' Clouded minds feelin' fine, peace among the ruins... Peace among the ruins Through the years I felt alone Now I know it wasn't so By grace alone I lived to sing this song No more will I play the fool So much more that I must do Answer all the questions in my head... And you know about my head Battle lines, waste of time, I better keep on movin' Clouded minds feelin' fine, peace among the ruins... Peace among the ruins

Why wish upon a star my friend Keep a Merlin in your hand See the leering vagrants Dirty hands, dirty face and they rant Living on the wind-down Sure, through it all you'll prevail Consistently staying at zero Square one, the first mile, stand still Live on the fringes, peel back a smile Second chances for no one, desire's a deadly pill Kiss the sky while you figure you're wading up to your knees Pouring swill in a dixie cup, maybe you'll die in your sleep Live on the fringes, peel back a smile Second chances for no one, desire's a deadly pill Walk away, you know you won't get what you want Don't even waste your time So I leave you with this now Life has no place for heroes In the trench of the seemingly Unfortunate few, the doomed souls Live on the fringes, peel back a smile Second chances for no one, desire's a deadly pill Walk away, you know you won't get what you want Don't even waste your time

Season - See the sweat on my neck, rollin' down Season - Quiet a storm, bad one hear it come Season - Only four but every one I love Season - Time to fly to feel good anyhow I wouldn't take nothing from you I couldn't wait to see you Everyday, follow me Day by day, fallin' leaves Season - Harvest moon, sitting in the sky tonight Season - Fire & rain The sun is on the rise I wouldn't take nothing from you I couldn't wait to see you Everyday, follow me Day by day, fallin' leaves Time to fly to feel good anyhow

All alone we must go, through the desert of the soul Before there's no more time If every turn we make is right, circling our faith Will be the peace of mind So if the minstrel plays tunes of sweet malaise What wonders we will seek We're fighting better fights, witnessing beliefs Our vision turns to sight It's time to find the time, It's time to find the time Before you come undone Before you reach the end You better turn around Kneel down and pray

Like an army, lead by second hands The arms are spinning faster now, I'm a bitter angry man All the days are numbered, they go flying by No way that I can stop this train, no hope to even try It's all moving faster, never to be It's all ever after, it's all destiny Lines upon my face I see grow longer day by day A slave to unseen masters, what a wicked game to play Diggin' up the pieces of a broken checkered past Torn and tattered memories of thing that never last It's all moving faster, never to be It's all ever after, it's all destiny My world won't stop turning but I'm standing still Waiting for nothing, no time to left kill Dreams cost too much and sleep wastes my time It's never enough for the peace I can't find Tears I'm crying I've left to find If I go nowhere I cross over the dotted line I cross into the twilight in a calm wide open sea To drown my sorrows on the rocks and tranquillity The days of former glory, in the days when we were kings Only in the memory, can we begin to dream It's all moving faster, never to be It's all ever after, it's all destiny

Sunshine - Turning, shifting, pouring through my open mind It's time Morning's calling, day is dawning open eyes Month of Mondays will I see All my summer's worth of dreams Seems to be Sunshine - Wash me clean of evening schemes apologize I've tried - Every way to spend my day, I realize Month of Mondays will I see All my summer's worth of dreams Seems to be Sunshine - Shifting through a day that's new, remembering I'm high - Stranger days will melt away the song I sing Month of Mondays will I see All my summer's worth of dreams Seems to be

I walk through the darkness, I'm a stolen man Comin' from nowhere, some foreign clan I'm soundin' a drum, to ward off the night Cries through the air, could be a children and wives My brothers made me a slave Staring blank at me, woman crawling on her knees Writin' in pain, from her broken feet Moon on the rise, I lift my head Will they bury me here even though I'm not dead? My brothers made me a slave Down on your knees, I will betray my creed Yeah... I tripped the wire and the net came down Wherever I look I saw no one around Freedom is free But now I'm made to pay For nothin' I've done but for another's deed My brothers made me a slave Down on your knees, I will betray my creed Yeah...

They asked me if I'd come down, and sing a little song I'm much obliged indeed, what shall I sing? Songs of frailty, of love and what someone needs With the sweet sounds of harmony Leave behind the fairytales and those California dreams Take some time, breathe the air, where the mountains meet the sea Only one way to go I find it easy if I don't sing alone Only one way to go I find easy if you just sing alone Let's come together I will be the one to bring it on, bringing it on Let's come together I will be the one to bring it on I will bring it on Only one way to go A change of season and I'll be goin' home Only way to go Too many reasons for me to carry on, for me to carry on Let's come together I will be the one to bring it on, bringing it on Let's come together I will be the one to bring it on I will bring it on
