WAKE THE SLEEPER (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

instrumental



OVERLOAD (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

Tonight you're gonna overload your mind
Move into another world there for you online
A high speed chase that leads to the unknown
Time will disappear so fast for you and you alone

A universe in isolation
Feeding you imagination

No-one cares about the role you play
Generations lost in space a million miles away
Life moves faster than the speed of sound
You think you've got complete control
It makes your world go round and round

Digital communication
Feeding your imagination

Coded warning, now you're falling into overload
Countdown started, no way out, hit the mother lode

The power that you crave for more and more
You try to understand the things that you are fighting for
When multi channel meltdown gets to you
You'll reach the breakpoint, when it's over
What you gonna do

Seeing your determination
Feeding your imagination

Coded warning, now you're falling into overload
Countdown started, no way out, hit the mother lode

A universe in isolation
Feeding you imagination
You're looking for a new sensation
Gotta find a real sensation

Coded warning, now you're falling into overload
Countdown started, no way out, hit the mother lode

Into overload



TEARS OF THE WORLD (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

Come and share my moonlight stair
Things of beauty everywhere
So much luck it isn't fair
'cos the tears of the world keep falling

I got the best of everything
A better world I could not dream
You should see what I have seen
As the tears of the world keep falling

Ah ah ah ah ah ah
The tears of the world keep falling
Until we stand together
The tears of the world keep falling
Until we stand together

So much wealth on every face
You're in the fight to win the place
Or are you just a hopeless case
as the tears of the world keep falling

You'd like to think that's not cruel
Design your future by their rules
You worship at the feed of fools
While the tears of the world keep falling

Ah ah ah ah ah ah
The tears of the world keep falling
Until we stand together
The tears of the world keep falling
Until we stand together
Until we take control together

We pushed our way to reach our goal
Turning silver into gold
We need to take the complete control
As the tears of the world keep falling

The great divide we know so well
We'll be there at the last farewell
Unless we break this living hell
As the tears of the world keep falling

Ah ah ah ah ah ah
The tears of the world keep falling
Until we stand together
The tears of the world keep falling
Until we stand together
Until we learn to stand together



LIGHT OF A THOUSAND STARS (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

We stand like brothers under troubled sky
So crazy how we came to live this life
Cross my heart but I refuse to die
I'm coming home to you

The never gave us any guarantee
All they want to see is bravery
I can't live with this misery
I'm coming home to you

And I don't know who's on whose side
Guide me with your love

Give me the light of a thousand stars
Shine my way back to you
Show me the road, get me over the line
There's no limit to what love can do

Don't need no badge of honour on my sleeve
The fear of dying is gonna set me free
A part of you is still a part of me
I'm coming home to you

And I don't know who's on whose side
Guide me with your love

Give me the light of a thousand stars
Shine my way back to you
Show me the road, get me over the line
There's no limit to what love can do

'cos I keep your picture close to my heart
You're the sweetest thing in this life
And if I ever get back home
I'm gonna fight to keep our dream alive

You know that men are born and men will die
I look at what I am surrounded by
Gotta get out before I lose my mind
I'm coming home to you

Give me the light of a thousand stars
Shine my way back to you
Show me the road, get me over the line
There's no limit to what love can do



HEAVEN'S RAIN (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

I look back at those days
At the permanent haze
And the dark that surrounded me
Then good fortune arrived
I saw life in your eyes
You talked about changing views
Freedom to choose
Darkness to light

There lies the kingdom of beautiful stories
Pure as the heaven's rain, oh oh oh
Shine on the heartache, the bittersweet glory
Shine over everyone, oh oh oh, oh, oh

Down the road I would fall
The wrong side of the wall
Sound of madness moved in for the kill
Then good fortune arrived
I saw life in your eyes
You talked about taking me
To place I should know
Just you and me

There lies the kingdom of beautiful stories
Pure as the heaven's rain, oh oh oh
Shine on the heartache, the bittersweet glory
Shine over everyone, oh oh oh, oh, oh

Shine over everyone
Shine over everyone

There's a hole in the sun
Where I wanted to run
There were clouds in the open sea
Then good fortune arrived
I saw life in your eyes
You talked about showing me
A place I should know
Just you and me

There lies the kingdom of beautiful stories
Pure as the heaven's rain, oh oh oh
Shine on the heartache, the bittersweet glory
Shine over everyone

There lies the kingdom of beautiful stories
Pure as the heaven's rain, oh oh oh
Shine on the heartache, the bittersweet glory
Shine over everyone

Shine over everyone
Shine over everyone....



BOOK OF LIES (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

The story of my life was written there in front of me 
The book revealed the lines upon my face 
After chapter one, the images of better times 
Turned into a classic cold embrace

Just throw the book away

Through your eyes you'll write again
And the book of lies cuts deep into my mind
Did I steal your heart and leave it in the rain
I'll never know, no, I'll never know

It's me I recognise, or am I geting in too deep
It's getting harder now to turn ther page
Did I read my name or is it just coincidence
Only what is true will cure my rage

Just throw the book away

Through your eyes you'll write again
And the book of lies cuts deep into my mind
Did I steal your heart and leave it in the rain
I'll never know, no, I'll never know

Coming to the end, sentences are bitter sweet
Paragraphs that leave me feeling cold
But it's all too late, the written word will always be
The essence and how well the stories told

Just throw the book away

Through your eyes you'll write again
And the book of lies cuts deep into my mind
Did I steal your heart and leave it in the rain
I'll never know, no, I'll never know



WHAT KIND OF GOD (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

I rode to my homeland
And carried the memory over the valley below
And the heart of a nation
The war cry was blazing
And the loss of my brothers and sons
Were all in the name of civilization

The empty moon saw I was leaving
With pride and hope in my heart
The mountains talk of far away dreaming

So came the invasion
Across from a faraway place into the new world 
With guns and new order
They gave us religion
They took away all of our rights 
And forced us to live behind their new border

The four winds blow and bring a new vision
Where children laugh without fear
The land will speak, the people will listen

But yesterday my life was fading
With every reason to die
Ten miles to the north
As I rode my red horse in the dying sun
And then when I saw the white soldiers
One hundred or more in a line
Kill for the land
Saying their law will stand
What kind of god do they see?

The fighting is over
No matter what fear they might bring
My country will live
The dust clouds are falling
I stood by the river
And breating the air that is life
Withing the black hills
My spiritual calling

But yesterday my life was fading
With every reason to die
Ten miles to the north
As I rode my red horse in the dying sun
And then when I saw the white soldiers
One hundred or more in a line
Kill for the land
Saying their law will stand
What kind of god do they see?
What kind of god can this be?



GHOST OF THE OCEAN (Mick Box/Phil Lanzon)

A ghost of the ocean
Tells of the women of the sea
They ran from opression
In the forgotten history

No innocents
No leaders to defend
No god, no government
And it's hard to believe they were riders 
On the sea

Women of fortune
Always to be prepared to die
Blood on a knife edge
Flag of the sea lord flying high

No innocents
No leaders to defend
No god, no government
And it's hard to believe they were riders
On the sea

A world of action strong and free
Adventure war and loyalty
The mermaid tyrant loved to fight
She ties the noods and pulls it tight

Treacherous island
Somewhere to hide on no man's land
Ships in the harbour
Waiting to hear the battle plan

No innocents
No leaders to defend
No god, no government
And it's hard to believe they were riders
On the sea



ANGELS WALK WITH YOU (Trevor Bolder)

I only know what I'm feeling
Do you know it's true
'cos I've searched for you
'cos I believe in you
Why do we walk in shadows
While this world falls apart

'cos I'd die for you
'cos I know
Angels walk with you

In my hands I hold nothing
The more I had the less I used
If I'd gone down that road forever
I would not have find you

And a new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
'cos angels walk with you

If we sit and do nothing
Will the light surely fade?
Can I trust in you forever?
If you show me the way

And a new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
'cos angels walk with you
yeah, walk with you

'cos I'd die for you
'cos I know
Angels walk with you

And a new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day

'cos angels walk with you



SHADOW (Phil Lanzon)

There is illusion in my mirror
I have to show concern
'cos what is left is right
Don't know which way to turn
And there is someone who is like me
But all they want to do is stare
And he would like to find the key
But I'm not there

Shadow, nothing but a shadow
Sunlight, never see the sunlight
Power, I got a special power
Shadow, nothing but a shadow

And now I'm moving down the sidewalk
Just staring at the ground
And if I don't look up the scene
Will change around
And we are residents of nowhere
What do we really say
Like a marionette just acting out a play

Shadow, nothing but a shadow
Sunlight, never see the sunlight
Power, I got a special power
Shadow, nothing but a shadow

I thought I saw a face that I knew
While running through the crowd
Then she turned to look at me
I didn't really feel a thing
Just floating throught the air
A trick of light for all to see

Shadow, nothing but a shadow
Sunlight, never see the sunlight
Power, I got a special power
Shadow, nothing but a shadow



WAR CHILD (Trevor Bolder/Gallagher)

Open your eyes
You're still here, still safe
At peace in this world, so great
You're free
You don't have to fight for your life
But just say, just say
There's fire from the sky
And you're burning alive

Why all this pain 
And posion in her mind
What can you change
When hatred made her blind
Soldiers
No reason to look into her eyes
No one to hold her
No one who really cares

Lifeless expression
Destroyed all conceptions 
For children in the street
Who's there to help you
When all is forgotten and torn apart by fear 
No one to hold her
No one who really cares

Oh, please don't cry
Oh, no war child

The struggle for power
The grows by the hour
Like the blood beneath her feet
Dispering with heartache
There must be somebody
To help her in such need
No one to hold her
No one who really cares

Oh, please don't cry
Oh, no war child
Oh, please don't cry
Oh, no war child

Open your eyes
You're still here, still safe
At peace in this world, so great
You're free
You don't have to fight for your life
War child

Oh, please don't cry
Oh, no war child
Oh, please don't cry
Oh, no war child
