The Ghost of Good Will
02:49

Our world overcome - industrial, mechanical
Man overrun - natural, magical
Without goodwill, without virtue
Without goodwill
Let by those without aspiration
And no care of, tomorrow

Come Alive
04:55
|
|||
Why can’t you wake up? Wake up my friends!
We’re swelling the tide, instead of sifting the sands
Digging in dirt, we should be panning for gold
Trying to recapture the dreams of old
Don’t look away, don’t avert your eyes
When you see through it you will come alive
So grit your teeth, face it down
Take only what’s yours, be it hammer or crown
But time is short so don’t be late
Dig in your heels, this storm will not abate
You have to earn it, you could never win such a prize
When you get to hold it you will come alive
We beg for the truth, but do we really seek it?
Wrapped up with a bow, would we recognise it?
So few are truly given a choice
Even less know their own true voice
So, seek out that which liberates you
Reject that which runs you through
Choose carefully that for which you strive
Whatever it is, it should make you come alive!
When you see through it, you will come alive
When you get to hold it, you will come alive
When you hear it, you will come alive
When your heart finds it, recognize it.
And come alive

Return
03:39
|

Greed be gone from here
They break all hope and feed on fear
Searching but few find
Flashing inspiration, born of the freer mind
Cloud bursts by sunbeams
Like an impossible dream
That jogs the mind, Clears the fog and reminds us so
Our only wish should be, to return home
Slave no more to desire
Surrender to love and you will find
You will find
Your own way home
Cloud bursts by sunbeams
Like an impossible dream
That jogs the mind, Clears the fog and reminds us so
Our only wish should be, to return home

Soul of a Man
04:33
|

Somebody tell me, answer if you can!
Won’t somebody tell me, what is the soul of a man
I'm going to ask the question, answer if you can
Can anybody tell me, what is the soul…
(Soul of Man) - is most in demand
(Soul of Man) - the hidden hand
(Soul of Man) - set your spirit free
(Soul of Man) - the soul of a man
I saw a crowd stand talking, I came up right on time
I was hearing the doctor and the lawyer, say a man ain't nothing but his mind
But I think we are so much more
(Soul of Man) - we pray we plead
(Soul of Man) - help is guaranteed
(Soul of Man) - bless your soul, bless your soul
(Soul of Man) - the soul of man
What have you found to ease your soul, tell
What have you found to set your spirit free
(Soul of Man) - through the golden years
(Soul of Man) - the blood, the tears
(Soul of Man) - never left behind
(Soul of Man) - the soul of man
I read the bible often, I tries to read it right
As far as I can understand, a man is more than his mind
When Christ stood in the temple, the people stood amazed
As he showed those doctors and lawyers
how to raise a body from the grave

Why?
04:17
|
|||
For shame, for this, we all should know
The tale of a land where darkness grows
A truth we all seek but so few find
Lets not hush the word: genocide
Why - don’t you wonder
Why - you never hear of their cries
You’re wondering, what is this peace?
From such avarice will we be freed?
But when money is earned, backs are turned, what price morality?
The regret we shall know, the debt we shall owe, when all is revealed
Why - don’t you wonder
Why - you never hear of their cries
The dragon red (the CCP) breathes malevolence and hate
There can be no grief for the inhumane
They will fall
So you must know
You must know
Open your heart
Let it touch your soul

Way of Things
06:01
|
|||
Scheme, scheme no more, Where are you benevolent king
To show us the way of things
Life, life has its way, Whilst death it stings
Its just the way of things
A mind, twisted by need, Ignores the heart that sings
About the way of things
Swim, swimming upstream. Against all that life brings
Its just the way of things
(Way of Things) God, grant us the serenity
(Way of Things) to accept the things we cannot change,
(Way of Things) courage to do so for that which we can
(Way of Things) And wisdom to know the difference
Don’t think that I do not care
Because I say that life is unfair
We just know that wisdom earned through the adversity
It’s the path to the greatest lessons we ever need
So we should change our ways
To become immune, To the games they play
(Way of Things) God, grant us the serenity
(Way of Things) to accept the things we cannot change,
(Way of Things) courage to do so for that which we can
(Way of Things) And wisdom to know the difference

Truth Lies in Between
06:28
|
|||
Oh when will you ask us, when will we see
The fruits of our temperance, our faith
We know we must know patience, must man our station
But when will those we love know grace
We will wait forever, for the truth that lies in between
Caught in glimpses, fleeting flashing
Peering through the cracks, the briefest of chances
Being mindful as the hints they, reveal a world
That speaks that breathes that moves
For every one
We will wait forever, for the truth that lies in between
though you may ask us never, the truth it lies in between
Free us, free us from our egos
That bind us, bind us to our sorrow

You Can Count on Me
04:48
|
|||
Emerge from the mists, back into the sun,
away those tears, you are not alone
Soon the doubts disappear
and knowing shall be known (but, until then)
You can count on me, I have faith in you
So lets not be defined by these blues,
the worst of our due
The heavens may reign down but they will grant us peace
You can count on me, I have faith in you
Each layer we peel away, brings us closer
It’s all just a test, just a trial.
I know you know
There is so much we must let go
To return to our true self, to become whole
If we can rise above notions
Fleeting loves, devotions
And shed a little light on our soul
So breathe, breathe
We shall know…
Peace

Roman Roads
03:54
|
|||
Drawing closer to the finish line
But beaten path lessons will be lost in time
And if this happens then we may well forget
That sometimes pain can be heaven sent
Coz we’ve been looking for things that may be out of reach
Searching for the things they do not teach
No short cuts for us, we are far too proud
We are salt of the earth with our head in the clouds
You don’t want to travel those roman roads
They’re too straight and true, you gonna reap what you sow
Don’t let fear pull those dreams apart
So you gotta test your mind, your soul, your spirit and your heart
I can see where we are, where we want to go
But will it take to the land where milk and honey flow
So steer clear of those racing lines
You will win for sure, but lose in time

All is Due
05:57
|
|||
Break the frame, the illusion
Ignore the call from inside no more
What begun as a spark has turned into flames
Who needs to keep their feet on the ground
The search for truth
It hurts, but can set us free
It’s all due, all is due
Must be getting lonelier in heaven
But for the very first time, we can find our own way there
Without fear or threat, death or punishment,
Because we can no longer hide, or dampen the cries
So turn all that bad into good, because its all due
All is due, everything that comes to me, that comes to you
Time teaches everyone,
While we bask under the golden sun
It’s the hard times that can set us free
Surely there is no other way to be
