BLACK 04:32
BLACK When the shutters come down And the world doesn't want to know When the dark closes in And you have nowhere to go When you fall down hard But no one can hear your call When the night turns black. And the night is black And you dont' wanna look back And the days are so cold You wonder how you suddenly got old When the night turns black. When the shutters come down And you are all alone And the light is gone And its so easy to fall You're stripped down and bare You've got nothing at all You've got nothing at all When the night turns black. And the night is black And you dont' wanna look back And the days are so cold You wonder how you suddenly got old When the night turns black.

I can only Dream Across the Ocean, across the sands of time. Where the footsteps, are washed away And the only new ones are mine. The wind blows the shadows roll in the haze of heat, Like a mirage I think I see. I imagine, we might meet. But I can only dream i'm there beside you We talk. hold your hand and smile But I can only dream i'm there beside you We talk. hold your hand and smile Beside you now, wherever you walk. Thru' the cool shade on the forest path I walk alone and pray. That somehow time would change behind me That we would share another day But I must await my turn I must stay and hope. Not easy now to pass the hours Not easy now, to hope... So I can only dream i'm there, beside you We talk. hold your hand and smile But I can only dream i'm there beside you We talk. hold your hand and smile beside you now, wherever you walk. But still I smile, there, by your graveside And sometimes quietly cry I'm longing for the day I'll see you To be there, wherever you walk...

V1 The streets they are shaking, there's blood on the walls. The rain cannot wash out those terrible calls It's life in a grinder where the innocent fell. Just trying to break free from this living hell. CH There's noise on the pavement from boot heels and flesh. Aggression and passion embrace and enmesh It's the human condition to try to survive. To push and to shove, try to get out alive. V2 Hear the shots in the alley, the crowd will resist. We can't take anymore, it's so hard, to exist. See the flames getting higher, the crowds raise a cheer. There's daylight in darkness, the future, draws near. CH There's noise on the pavement from boot heels and flesh. Aggression and passion embrace and enmesh It's the human condition to try to survive. To push and to shove, try to get out alive. BRIDGE V3 An anarchists canvas is brewing a storm. The children are dying that try to be born And the furnace is burning in the streets filled with strife. There's no turning back now, on the furnace of life. CH There's noise on the pavement from boot heels and flesh. Aggression and passion embrace and enmesh It's the human condition to try to survive. To push and to shove, try to get out alive CH There's noise on the pavement from boot heels and flesh. Aggression and passion embrace and enmesh It's the human condition to try to survive. To push and to shove, try to get out alive

After the Storm When the storm has passed and you got home at last How i miss you And when all has been said, i regret what’s in my head How i miss you It seems like a million miles now I never thought we would make it And if you just want to close your eyes now Days were dark, nights were long My thoughts were lost. I couldn’t hear your song What might have been, where had you gone Doesn’t matter now, after the storm The mystery of life, the jealousy and strife I thought love was supposed to be true The joy you give to me, to my very core I can see How I miss you So many things to get started Another chance is what we needed Forget all the times we were parted Days were dark, nights were long My thoughts were lost. I couldn’t hear your song What might have been, where had you gone Doesn’t matter now, after the storm

Song for a New Day When you look out to the horizon, waiting for the ships to come Hoping for some news, some relief, some help from home. And what goes thru' your mind when the Sun sets The day has ended, but another dawn will come. A man can linger a woman can wait A child can dream and a family have faith. Sing songs of hope, songs of joy Songs of a new day. Feel good, feel warm perhaps today there will be rescue For soon things must be better there must be something we can do. And all we have now.. when the day breaks The Sun comes up and all we have, is hope.. A man can linger a woman can wait A child can dream and a family have faith. Sing songs of hope, songs of joy Songs of a new day
