Now it's come to this

It's like we're back in the Dark Ages

From the Middle East to the Middle West

It's a world of superstition

 

Now it's come to this

Wide-eyed armies of the faithful

From the Middle East to the Middle West

Pray, and pass the ammunition

 

So many people think that way

You gotta watch what you say

To them and them, and others too

Who don't seem to see to things the way you do

 

We can only grow the way the wind blows

on a bare and weathered shore

We can only bow to the here and now

In our elemental war

 

We can only go the way the wind blows

We can only bow to the here and now

Or be broken down blow by blow

 

Now it's come to this

Hollow speeches of mass deception

From the Middle East to the Middle West

Like crusaders in a holy alliance

 

Now it's come to this

Like we're back in the dark ages

From the Middle East to the Middle West

It's a plague that resists our science

 

It seems to leave them partly blind

And they leave no child behind

While evil spirits haunt their sleep

While shepherds bless and count their sheep

 

Like the solitary pine

On a bare wind blasted shore

We can only grow the way the wind blows

How many times

Do we tire of all the little battles

Threaten to call it quits

Tempted to cut and run

How many times

Do we weather out the stormy evenings

Long to slam the front door

Drive away into the setting sun

 

Keep going on till dawn

How many times must another line be drawn

We could be down and gone

But we hold on

 

How many times

Do we chafe against the repetition

Straining against a fate

Measured out in coffee breaks

How many times

Do we swallow our ambition

Long to give up the same old way

Find another road to take

 

Keep holding on so long

'Cause there's a chance that we might not be so wrong

We could be down and gone

But we hold on

 

How many times

Do we wonder if it's even worth it

Theres got to be some other way

Way to get me through the day

 

Keep going on till dawn

How many times must another line be drawn

We could be down and gone

But we hold on

The way out

Is the way in

The way out

Is the way in...

 

Out of touch

With the weather and the wind direction

With the sunrise

And the phases of the moon

Out of touch

With life in the land of the loving

With the living night

And the darkness at high noon

 

You can never break the chain

There is never love without pain

A gentle hand, a secret touch on the heart

 

Out of sync

With the rhythm of my own reactions

With the things that last

And the things that come apart

Out of sync

With love in the land of the living

A gentle hand, a secret touch on the heart

 

A healing hand, a secret touch on the heart

 

There is never love without pain

Life is a power that remains

A boy alone, so far from home

Endless rooftops from my window

I felt the gloom of empty rooms

On rainy afternoons

 

Sometimes in confusion

I felt so lost and disillusioned

Innocence gave me confidence

To go up against reality

 

All the same, we take our chances

Laughed at by Time

Tricked by Circumstances

Plus ca change

Plus c'est la meme chose

The more that things change

The more they stay the same

 

Now I've gained some understanding

Of the only world that we see

Things that I once dreamed of

Have become reality

 

These walls that still surround me

Still contain the same old me

Just one more who's searching for

A world that ought to be

Know your place in life is where you want to be

Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me

Keep on looking forward; no use in looking 'round

Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down

 

Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind

A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind

We marvel after those who sought

New wonders in the world, wonders in the world,

Wonders in the world they wrought.

 

Live for yourself -- there's no one else

More worth living for

Begging hands and bleeding hearts will

Only cry out for more

 

Well, I know they've always told you

Selfishness was wrong

Yet it was for me, not you, I

Came to write this song

The clouds prepare for battle

In the dark and brooding silence

Bruised and sullen stormclouds

Have the light of day obscured

Looming low and ominous

In twilight premature

Thunderheads are rumbling

In a distant overture

 

All at once,

The clouds are parted

Light streams down

In bright unbroken beams

 

Follow men's eyes

As they look to the skies

The shifting shafts of shining

Weave the fabric of their dreams...

I don't want to face

The killer instinct-

Face it in your or me

 

We carry a sensitive cargo

Below the waterline-

Ticking like a time bomb

With a primitive design

 

Behind the finer feelings-

This civilized veneer-

The heart of a lonely hunter

Guards a dangerous frontier

 

The balance can sometimes fail-

Strong emotions can tip the scale-

 

Don't want to silence

A desperate voice

For the sake of security

No one wants to make a terrible choice

On the price of being free

I don't want to face the killer instinct-

Face it in you or me

So we keep it under lock and key...

 

It's not a matter of mercy

It's not a matter of laws

Plenty of people will kill you for some fanatical cause

 

It's not a matter of conscience-

A search for probable cause

It's just a matter of instinct- a matter of fatal flaws

 

No reward for resistance

No assistance-

No applause...

 

we don't want to be victims

on that we all agree,

so we lock up the killer instinct-

and throw away the key...

When they turn the pages of history

When these days have passed long ago

Will they read of us with sadness

For the seeds that we let grow

We turned our gaze

From the castles in the distance

Eyes cast down

On the path of least resistance

 

Cities full of hatred

Fear and lies

Withered hearts

And cruel, tormented eyes

Scheming demons

Dressed in kingly guise

Beating down the multitude

And scoffing at the wise

 

The hypocrites are slandering

The sacred halls of Truth

Ancient nobles showering

Their bitterness on youth

Can't we find

The minds that made us strong

Can't we learn

To feel what's right and wrong

 

Cities full of hatred

Fear and lies

Withered hearts

And cruel, tormented eyes

Scheming demons

Dressed in kingly guise

Beating down the multitude

And scoffing at the wise

Can't we raise our eyes

And make a start

Can't we find the minds

To lead us closer to the Heart

Here we go - vertigo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

 

Here we go - in slo-mo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

 

Some kind of trouble on the sensory screen

Camera curves over caved-in cop cars

Bleacher-creatures, would-be desperados

Clutch at plausible deniability

Don't touch that dial -

We're in denial

Until the showcase trial on TV

 

Some kind of pictures on the sense o'clock news

Miles of yellow tape - silhouetted chalklines

Tough-talking hood boys in pro-team logo knock-offs

Conform to uniforms of some corporate entity

Don't change that station

It's Gangster Nation

Now crime's in syndication on TV

 

What a show - vertigo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

 

Touch and go - in slo-mo

Video vertigo

Test for echo

 

Some kind of drama live on satellite

Hidden camera coverage from the crime scene to the courtroom

Nail-biting hood boys in borrowed ties and jackets

Clutching at the straws of respectability

Can't do the time?

Don't do the crime

And wind up in the perp walk on TV

There's no bread, let them eat cake

There's no end to what they'll take

Flaunt the fruits of noble birth

Wash the salt into the earth

But they're marching to Bastille Day

La guillotine will claim her bloody prize

Free the dungeons of the innocent

The king will kneel, and let his kingdom rise

 

Bloodstained velvet, dirty lace

Naked fear on every face

See them bow their heads to die

As we would bow as they rode by

 

And we're marching to Bastille Day

La guillotine will claim her bloody prize

Sing, o choirs of cacophony

The king has kneeled, to let his kingdom rise.

 

Lessons taught but never learned

All around us anger burns

Guide the future by the past

Long ago the mould was cast

 

For they marched up to Bastille Day

La guillotine - claimed her bloody prize

Hear the echoes of the centuries

Power isn't all that money buys

If the rain comes they run and hide their heads

They might as well be dead

If the rain comes, if the rain comes

 

When the sun shines they slip into the shade

(When the sun shines down)

And drink their lemonade

(When the sun shines down)

When the sun shines, when the sun shines

 

Rain, I don't mind

Shine, the weather's fine

 

I can show you that when it starts to rain

(When the rain comes down)

Everything's the same

(When the rain comes down)

I can show you, I can show you

 

Rain, I don't mind

Shine, the weather's fine

 

Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines

(When it rains and shines)

It's just a state of mind?

(When it rains and shines)

Can you hear me, can you hear me?

Well, I'm lookin' at you,

and I'm wond'rin' what you're gonna do.

Looks like you got no friends,

no one to stick with you till the end.

 

Take yourself a friend.

Kep 'em till the end.

Whether woman or man,

it makes you feel so good,

so good.

 

Yes, you think you're all right,

and now you're lonely ev'ry night.

Well, you need a friend,

someone on whom you can always depend.

 

Take yourself a friend.

Keep 'em till the end.

Whether woman or man,

it makes you feel so good,

so good.

 

Yes, you need some advice.

Well, let me put it to you nice.

I said you need a friend,

someone who'll stick with you to the end.

Keep 'em till the end.

I said I played this song so many times before

That the melody keeps repeating

Growing new ideas, flowing chords and notes

Like a mountain river bleeding

 

Well, I say as I look back at all the thoughts I've had

They reflect just what I'm learning

Yes, you know that the hardest part, yes, I say it is to stay on top

On top of a world forever churning

 

Well, you say you can laugh, but I can see that your eyes are glass

Well, do you see, can't you see, what I'm feeling?

Yes, I've seen your face before

Why, I've seen it everywhere

Showing up to me without a scent revealing

 

Well, I said will it ever change?

Will it stay the same?

I'd surely like to know before it's over

Well, I said I played some

I said it won't be long

Won't be long before I stop and play it over

 

You know I've, I've seen your face before

Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again?

Oh, oh, I've, I've been in one place too long

Is it ever gonna, ever gonna change again? 2.gif

Loving Couple:

 

I can't see you but I know you're there.

Got to get beside you cos it's really cold out here.

Come up close to me you'll soon be warm.

Hold me tightly like we're sheltering from a storm.

 

 

Mouse:

 

Think I might go out for a stroll

Into the night, and out of this hole.

Maybe find me a meal.

Walking along this new shag pile

Presents a problem all the while.

Nearly the door.

 

Suddenly he bumps into wood, the door is closed.

A voice from the bed, he'll be exposed.

Which way to run, must make for the hole,

The light's been turned on, he's blind as a mole in coal.

 

Now I can see they're coming at me,

They've blocked off my door, I haven't a chance in hell.

 

 

Couple:

 

Come on baby let the poor thing go.

I'm not sleeping with that thing around here, no.

Alright then, I'll fetch a box from below,

Guard him carefully, they're very quick you know.

 

 

Mouse:

 

The door's been opened, my chance to escape.

Must run out quick, better sorry than late.

I'm out on the stairs.

They won't catch me now, I've the run of the house now.

I'll make it downstairs and into the breadbin.

That would be nice.

 

Suddenly he bumps into fur, that's very unwise,

A cat is much quicker than men and their eyes.

The chase that ensues can have only one end,

Unless outside help steps in for our friend in need.

 

But now the cat comes in for the kill,

His paw is raised, soon blood will spill, yes it will.

 

 

Cat:

 

Hard luck mouse, this is the end of your road.

The signpost says inside me, let me bear your heavy load.

 

But it's not to be, that final pounce

Knocks a jar upon his head, and lays him out.

 

But it's all in a mouse's night

To take on all those who would fight.

 

 

Cat's Story:

 

There I was with my back to the wall,

Then comes this monster mouse, he's ten feet tall,

With teeth and claws to match.

It only took one blow.

Back beat boogie got a hold on me

Make me wanna jump and shout!

Twistin' like a top, I never wanna stop tonight

You surely look like a magazine

And you can move like I never seen

Reelin' and a rockin' babe

Come on and dance with me!

 

I'm a rocker, I'm a roller

I've been a boogie since I ditched the stroller

So come on hold me tight

We can rock the night away

I'm a rocker, I'm a roller

I've been a boogie since I ditched the stroller

So come on hold me tight

We can rock the night away

 

Tight blue jeanie with the starlit face

Make me wanna slide and shake!

Claw like a cat, and shimmy like a rattle snake

You surely look like a movie queen

And you can move like I never seen

Reelin' and a rockin' babe

Come on and dance with me!

 

I'm a rocker, I'm a roller

I've been a boogie since I ditched the stroller

So come on hold me tight

We can rock the night away

I'm a rocker, I'm a roller

I've been a boogie since I ditched the stroller

So come on hold me tight

We can rock the night away

 

I get this feelin' when I hear that beat

I gotta jump and get up on the table

'Cause when that rhythm and blues electrifies my shoes

I get the message like it came by cable

 

Back beat boogie got a hold on me

Great, great song from a great, great album by a great, great band!

 

Another one from Wind And Wuthering;

 

The sun had been up for a couple of hours,

Covered the ground with a layer of gold.

Spirits were high and the raining had stopped,

The larder was low, But boy that wasn't all.

Eleventh Earl of Mar

Couldn't get them very far.

Daddy! Oh Daddy, You Promised.

 

Out on the road in the direction of Perth,

Backwards and forwards in a circle they went.

Found a city half open and ready to greet,

The conquering heros, with blisters on their feet.

Eleventh Earl of Mar

Somehow got them all this far.

Daddy! You Promised, You Promised.

 

See the Stewart are dressed up

He's got eyes in the back of his head.

Who came in a cockleshell boat

That could only just float,

Couldn't even lift a sword.

Dressed too fine and smelling of wine.

 

Daddy you've got to go!

Here come the bishop all dressed up

He's gonna bless you if you're ready to pay

One wave of his funny old stick,

There's a band of light across your eyes.

 

Waited a week still they hadn't appeared,

That glorious timing that everyone feared.

So they're riding along on the crest of a wave,

They're headed for London, And that will be their grave

Eleventh Earl of Mar

Well he couldn't get them down that far

Daddy! I'm waiting, I'm waiting

 

Time to go to bed now

Never seems too keen

To be a guest now

In a house of dreams

 

Flying from a hillside

Beckoning the trees

A sailboat's awning

Mimicking the breeze

 

I'm fighting gravity falling

My Daddy won't let them get me

A voice screams seems to be calling

The face turns features are burning.

 

Daddy, you've got to go!

See the fifteen going by,

Tell the Lairds and the Lords

They're running backwards today,

And once again you stand alone.

 

Bury your memories bury your friends,

Leave it alone for a year or two.

Till the stories go hazy and the legends come true,

Then do it again. Some Things never end.

Eleventh Earl of Mar

Won't be going very far.

You Promised, You Promised, You Promised.

DADDY!

A wave toward the clearing the sky

 

All this time we're talking and sharing our Rational View

A billion other voices are spreading other news

All this time we're living and trying to understand

Why a billion other choices are making their demands

 

Talk of a Peaceable Kingdom

Talk of a time without fear

The ones we wish would listen

Are never going to hear

 

Justice against The Hanged Man

Knight of Wands against the hour

Swords against the kingdom

Time against The Tower

 

All this time we're shuffling and laying out all our cards

While a billion other dealers are slipping past our guards

All this time we're hoping and praying we all might learn

While a billion other teachers are teaching them how to burn

 

Dream of a Peaceable Kingdom

Dream of a time without war

The ones we wish would hear us

Have heard it all before

 

A wave toward the clearing sky

A wave toward the clearing sky

 

The Hermit against The Lovers

Or the Devil against the Fool

Swords against the kingdom

The Wheel against the rules

 

All this time we're burning like bonfires in the dark

A billion other blazes are shooting off their sparks

Every spark a drifting ember of desire

To fall upon the earth and spark another fire

 

A homeward angel on the fly

A wave toward the clearing sky

How many times

Do we tire of all the little battles

Threaten to call it quits

Tempted to cut and run

How many times

Do we weather out the stormy evenings

Long to slam the front door

Drive away into the setting sun

 

Keep going on till dawn

How many times must another line be drawn

We could be down and gone

But we hold on

 

How many times

Do we chafe against the repetition

Straining against a fate

Measured out in coffee breaks

How many times

Do we swallow our ambition

Long to give up the same old way

Find another road to take

 

Keep holding on so long

'Cause there's a chance that we might not be so wrong

We could be down and gone

But we hold on

 

How many times

Do we wonder if it's even worth it

Theres got to be some other way

Way to get me through the day

 

Keep going on till dawn

How many times must another line be drawn

We could be down and gone

But we hold on

I. Prelude

When our weary world was young

The struggle of the Ancients first began

The Gods of Love and Reason

Sought alone to rule the fate of Man

 

They battled through the ages

But still neither force would yield

The people were divided

Every soul a battlefield...

 

II. Apollo Bringer of Wisdom

'I bring Truth and Understanding

I bring Wit and Wisdom fair

Precious gifts beyond compare

We can build a world of wonder

I can make you all aware'

 

'I will find you food and shelter

Show you fire to keep you warm

Through the endless winter storm

You can live in grace and comfort

In the world that you transform.'

 

The people were delighted

Coming forth to claim their prize

They ran to build their cities

And converse among the wise

 

But one day the streets fell silent

Yet they knew not what was wrong

The urge to build these fine things

Seemed not to be so strong

 

The wise men were consulted

And the Bridge of Death was crossed

In quest of Dionysus

To find out what they had lost...

 

III. Dionysus Bringer of Love

'I bring Love to give you solace

In the darkness of the night

In the Heart's eternal light

You need only trust your feelings;

Only Love can steer you right'

 

'I bring Laughter, I bring Music

I bring Joy and I bring Tears

I will soothe your primal fears

Throw off those chains of Reason

And your prison disappears'

 

The cities were abandoned

And the forests echoed song

They danced and lived as brothers;

They knew Love could not be wrong

 

Food and wine they had aplenty

And they slept beneath the stars

The people were contented

And the Gods watched from afar

 

But the winter fell upon them

And it caught them unprepared

Bringing wolves and cold starvation

And the hearts of men despaired...

 

IV. Armageddon The Battle of Heart and Mind

The Universe divided

As the Heart and Mind collided

With the people left unguided

For so many troubled years

In a cloud of doubts and fears

Their world was torn asunder

Into hollow hemispheres

 

Some fought themselves, some fought each other

Most just followed one another

Lost and aimless like their brothers

For their Hearts were so unclear

And the Truth could not appear

Their spirits were divided

Into blinded hemispheres

 

Some who did not fight

Brought tales of old to light

My 'Rocinante' sailed by night

On her final flight

To the heart of Cygnus' fearsome force

We set our course

Spiralled through that timeless space

To this immortal place

 

V. Cygnus Bringer of Balance

I have memory and awareness

But I have no shape or form

As a disembodied spirit

I am dead and yet unborn

 

I have passed into Olympus

As was told in tales of old

To the city of Immortals

Marble white and purest gold

 

I see the Gods in battle rage on high

Thunderbolts across the sky

I cannot move, I cannot hide

I feel a silent scream begin inside

 

Then all at once the Chaos ceased

A stillness fell, a sudden peace

The Warriors felt my silent cry

And stayed their struggle, mystified

 

Apollo was atonished

Dionysus thought me mad

But they heard my story further

And they wondered, and were sad

 

Looking down from Olympus

On a world of doubt and fear

Its surface splintered

Into sorry hemispheres

 

They sat a while in silence

Then they turned at last to me

'We will call you Cygnus,

The god of Balance you shall be'

 

VI. The Sphere A Kind of Dream

We can walk our road together

If our goals are all the same

We can run alone and free

If we pursue a different aim

 

Let the truth of love be lighted

Let the love of truth shine clear

Sensibility

Armed with sense and liberty

With the Heart and Mind united

In a single perfect sphere

Midway hawkers calling

Try your luck with me

Merry-go-round wheezing

The same old melody

A thousand ten cent wonders

Who could ask for more

A pocketful of silver

The key to heaven's door

 

Lakeside Park

Willows in the breeze

Lakeside Park

So many memories

Laughing rides

Midway lights

Shining stars on summer nights

 

Days of barefoot freedom

Racing with the waves

Nights of starlit secrets

Crackling driftwood flames

Drinking by the lighthouse

Smoking on the pier

Still we saw the magic

Fading every year

 

Everyone would gather

On the twenty fourth of May

Sitting in the sand

To watch the fireworks display

Dancing fires on the beach

Singing songs together

Though it's just a memory

Some memories last forever
