Will you see the light Coming through the cracks Of this broken wall That used to stand so tall Will you be around When I run aground And will you hear the sound Of the falling of the rain When you dry your tears in vain It used to be so easy Used to be a game We danced away the spring Played by any name It's hard now to remember At this summer's end When we feel the sting Of the falling of the rain And we dry our tears in vain But when I see your smile As the morning breaks It always melts my heart Tears my soul apart I love you now as then And that will never end Even though it's late And the falling of the rain Makes me dry my tears in vain Even though it's late And the falling of the rain Makes me dry my tears in vain

The Rampage 03:43
We were driving down the road And our burden was a load The morning will bring the answer But the answer will be bad The loot ran in the millions And the death toll rising high The guards were gone, shot on sight Not a one could stop our flight And we never looked back, We were bad (3x) The law was on our backs After our blood and the swag But they didn't realize That to them we'd long been wise We covered all our tracks Puppets in a house of wax So they ended up all dead in their cars Glassy eyes staring afar And we never looked back, We were bad (3x) Two hundred miles away, there was a party going on The Russians were invited, but they didn't come Their ship anchored in the harbor, had a captain who was a drunk And he never knew what hit him when the ship was sunk We were bad (3x) We ditched the car by the roadside There was nowhere there to hide So the farmer and his wife They were left to pay the price There was no more need to run So we stuck to our guns And we vanished in the night Gone by the early light We dug a hole deep in the ground Stashed away the loot we found And we never looked back, We were bad (3x) Two hundred miles away, there was a party going on The Russians were invited, but they didn't come Their ship anchored in the harbor, had a captain who was a drunk And he never knew what hit him when the ship was sunk We were bad (9x)

Come Again 04:02
There was something in the air A feeling of despair It messed around with your head What the fortune teller said So one day out of the blue I saw another you A light shone in your eyes With a glimpse of paradise Come again, when the rain preludes the spring Come again, when the nightingale begins to sing Clear away the dust that's lying inside your head And then one murky morning You packed your bags and went Down those lonely roads Paved with dreams and hopes Friends told me that they saw you Working in some bar For a handful unseeing faces You didn't get very far Come again, when the rain preludes the spring Come again, when the nightingale begins to sing Clear away the dust that's lying inside your head Come again, when the nightingale begins to sing Clear away the dust that's lying inside your head Come again, when the nightingale begins to sing Clear away the dust that's lying inside your head Come again, come again, …

Someday 04:14
There is an ill wind blowing Across the land And soon we'll have to face it And make a stand No fire or flaming arrow Can touch me now Or break the resolve that I'm Feeling somehow Someday we'll break all the Someday we'll break all the Shackles that imprison us in our lives Someday we'll break all the Someday we'll break all the Barriers that could throw us back in time No need to be afraid We will prevail No need to run and hide We cannot fail There is a way out of Quicksand time No need to hide away We will be fine Someday we'll break all the Someday we'll break all the Shackles that imprison us in our lives Someday we'll break all the Someday we'll break all the Barriers that could throw us back in time (3x)

Dragonfly 02:42
Dragonfly, I wonder why You stare at me, and fix my eye Is it cause you wonder Wonder what to do For you the choice is easy You've only got to fly, dragonfly Dragonfly, I wonder why You stare at me, straight in the eye Is it cause you're weary Weary what to be For you the choice is easy You're a dragonfly, a dragonfly And dragonflies they should not wonder About their destiny It is written on the water What you're supposed to be Dragonfly, now there you lie Dead and gone, the lonely one It didn't help to wonder And it doesn't help to know The road that's laid out for you Long ago dragonfly It didn't help to wonder And it doesn't help to know The road that's laid out for you Long ago dragonfly Long ago, long ago, long ago

Songbird 03:05
Rain came pouring down Running down my face The people went underground Hiding in disgrace Empty pages in the magazines Snow on TV No more rice cookies and cream Fools that we’ve been And we'll weep (And we'll weep) And we’ll cry And we’ll stand in line to sigh The day the songbird flies The day the songbird flies (As the water pours) The race is heating up The experts all agree No more time for covering up Our ship is finally here The people they wept and moaned Darkness falling fast With the cold now in our bones Will we understand at last And we'll weep (And we'll weep) And we’ll cry And we’ll stand in line to sigh The day the songbird flies The day the songbird flies (As the water pours) (2x)

Hold my hand and don't let go I hold you near here to me dear Hold my hand and hang on tight I hold you near here to me dear I hold you tight on this cold and windy night (2x) Look up there a fading moon A robin sings his morning tune So stay real close and don't let go We'll soon be there before you know I hold you tight in this cold and windy night (2x) The morning glow is in the air The pace is slow on this dark and crooked road But we'll soon be there At the end, at the end of this cold and windy night Look at me and see me smile We've got to hang in for a while So stay real close and don't let go I hold you tight in this cold and windy night A robin starts his morning tune We're almost done with this dark and crooked road And then we'll be there At the end, at the end of this cold and windy night

It was noon, blazing hot The sun brought tears to my eyes There was a forest, looming ahead It was a blessing in disguise When I sat down, by the edge I saw lines and dots in the sand The winds blew, swept them away Dropping the sand in my hand Suddenly a vision appeared before my eyes Beckoned me to listen, before it vaporized I couldn't see the reason and I never understood Why that vision came to me at the border of the wood The sun set, the moon rose There was a chill in the air All was quiet, all was still Only the rustling in the trees Suddenly faint music made its way to my ears Beckoned me to follow till again it disappeared I couldn't see the reason and I never understood Why that music came to me at the border of the wood And then by midnight, all was dark It started raining really hard I took a chance, and went ahead As I walked into the wood I was met, by the vision While the music drew me near The vision glowed, the music soared And I was all in disarray Slowly then the vision, led me through the dark Back to the edge, till in the end it disappeared Till this day I wonder and I never understood Why this came to pass at the border of the wood Till this day I wonder and I never understood Why this came to pass at the border of the wood Why this came to pass at the border of the wood Why this came to pass at the border of the wood

Magic 04:00
Schoolgirl, schoolboy Hypnotized, mesmerized A missed class, a clumsy pass A first date, and someone's late Nothing takes away the charm Nothing takes away the magic Schoolgirl, schoolboy The night heat in the back seat A love stream adrenaline A life scream in one dream Nothing takes away the charm Nothing takes away the magic Schoolgirl, schoolboy And then the other one The sweeter one The bubble breaks The hurt it takes The drift apart Nothing takes away the charm Nothing takes away the magic

Empire 03:43
I left you with my books about the fall of Rome And the frozen cruelty of Mount Vesuvius Like in the fresco of The toothless dog Defending his home I guard my tree house My oak hideout The flood may always come from fear of living Or from the pool of tears at the roots Always ignoring that Volcanoes may Erupt one day And cover everything That pokes their path And leave all trace Of mankind For the wiser Deacons and Darwin struggle gnarling as gutter ghosts Excavating every inch unfit to chop this tree Unable to stop those tears And praying that The fresco dog won't bite When trying to open up The door they'll say It's just another False alarm And it won't make An empire fall Because we are prepared to survive, we smile At the craters of the moon shining through the leaves Fading the man in the oak A lunatic Another howling wolf Claiming to once have fed The founders of An empire Fearing the flood An empire Betrayed by a fire

The Road 03:36
The road runs high and the road runs low It doesn't matter which way you The wind blows east and the wind blows west You never know which way's the best The light was playing in your hair As I looked around to see if you were there Right behind and in my mind On the road that never ends Till the end, till the end One day sun and two days rain We'll have to come back here again We turn left and we turn right Trying to reach Lands End by night The sun reflected in your eye As I looked around and saw you wave goodbye To the land that we passed On the road that never ends Till the end, till the end The light was playing in your hair As I looked around to see if you were there Right behind, and in my mind On the road that never ends Till the end, till the end Two steps forward and one step back We make progress that's a fact The sun reflected in your eye As I looked around and saw you wave goodbye To the land that we passed On the road that never ends On the road that never ends Till the end, till the end, till the end, till the end
