Ancient River
06:40

On the banks by the river there’s a house with a yard
And a mother turns away as her son falls apart
The faded red paint tells a story ’bout despair
And about people that just don’t care
On a hill there lives a man who worked hard all his life
So he and his wife could enjoy their old age
When retirement came his wife gets ill and dies
Now he walks by the river and cries
And the ancient river, the ancient river she flows
The ancient river, divides the valley in two
The ancient river flows down the valley of hopes
And each day down the river, someones dreams flows away
There’s a rock for every dream that got tossed
And stone for each soul that got lost
Where the river meets the sea there’s an old ruined shed
Where a peasant kept his tools and his animals got fed
He was a well known drunk, when he began he couldn’t stop
One night he fell into the river and never came up
The ancient river, the ancient river she flows
The ancient river, divides the valley in two
The ancient river flows down the valley of hopes
And each day down the river, someones dreams flows away
There’s a rock for every dream that got tossed
And stone for each soul that got lost

Everybodys Sound
03:30

I don’t believe you when you say you are free
Or at least it doesn’t mean the same thing to me
You just keep spinning ’cause it’s easier to steal
And to make a difference seems so unreal
Society’s a trigger, you’re forced to hang around
Everything I hear is everybodys sound
You go for the glory, still you know that it’s fake
You will never know how to make a mistake
You laugh your way out of trouble and you don’t look back
You never wonder why you walk that track
Society’s a trigger, your words are bound
Everything I hear is everybodys sound
You’re one in a million, still nothing to me
As you ask for a reason and how it should be
The world is crowded, still plenty of space
You can see it is written all over the place
Society’s a trigger, you’re forced to hang around
Everything I hear is everybodys sound
Society’s a trigger, your words are bound
Everything I hear is everybodys sound

Heart Street

There's a change coming, I've been told
There's a change coming, been kept on hold
There's a riot on Heart Street
That just can't be beaten down
A light is shining on an empty space
The sun is burning in my face
The stage is set
Let's tear our hearts out, and never forget
I've been tossed and I've been turned
I've been lost and I've been burned
I see the lights
There's a riot on Heart Street tonight
My conscience is working on me
The silence is killing me
Have to understand
When it's about to get out of hand
The tide is turning, a light is burning
And we are slowly learning
To find a way
To a better day
I've been tossed and I've been turned
I've been lost and I've been burned
I see the lights
There's a riot on Heart Street tonight
I see the lights
There's a riot on Heart Street tonight
Oh I see the lights, tonight!
I see the lights, tonight!

Loving Kind
04:07

Where would I be with out you
Where would I be, it’s easy to see, easy to see
When the lines of age, make thing clear
When you tumble around
When you tumble, you fumble, you rumble around
It’s not easy, no it’s not easy to see
But you try, to see real love
Hidden in a cave on the bottom of the sea
Or on the highest mountain, on top of a tree
You never know what you’ll find
You never know who’s your loving kind
I’m grateful, thankful, hopeful
Hopeful for our love to grow
And I really hope you know, yeah I hope you know
What I see in you is real love
My loving kind, my loving kind
Where would I be with out you
My loving kind, my loving kind
Where would I be with out you
I’m grateful, thankful, hopeful
Hopeful for our love to grow
And I really hope you know, hope you know
What I see In you is real love
When you tumble around
You tumble, you fumble, you rumble around
It’s not easy, no it’s not easy to see
But you try to see real love
Hidden in a cave on the bottom of the sea
Or on the highest mountain, on top of a tree
You never know what you’ll find
You never know who’s your loving kind
You never know who’s your loving kind
You never know who’s your loving kind
Who’s your loving kind
Who’s your loving kind
Who’s your loving kind
Who’s your loving kind

Never Let Me Go
03:18
|
|||
|
Catch up with the past, I know when she left
It was on a Friday she was locked up for theft
And I said no, never let me go
I said no, never let me go
Breaking up a story, just going too slow
But she was even faster than anyone I know
And I said no never let me go
No never let me go
Up and down the seaside, making up her mind
Carrying a fire, for something to find
She wiped out all the pages of a well written book
Changing all the chapters to a different look
And now I’m hiding in the city, behind the sound of wheels
I guess you’ll have to be here to know how it feels
And I said no never let me go
No never let me go
I said no never let me go
No never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go
Never let me go

Mountains of the North
03:55
|

|
Waters rising, and there is nothing we can do
Children are dying but it’s all the same, for me and you
We’re safe on the mountains of the north
The forest will keep us warm, and we can hide from the rising tide
People are fighting for their right to be free
Storms are blowing and answers are hard to see
We’re safe on the mountains of the north
The forest will keep us warm, and we can hide
How long can we hide
How long can we hide
From the rising tide
We just want to get by
We just want to get high
We just want to get by
’Cause we’re safe for now
Explosions, emotions, prophecies and hate
The world is in an awful state, but we can wait
’Cause we’re safe on the mountains of the north
The forest will keep us warm, and we can hide
How long can we hide
How long can we hide
From the rising tide

Jericho
04:58
|

|
Hey there baby found you at last
Just gotta wipe something out of the past
Gonna stick to that note till I’m out of tune
Find myself looking at the face of the moon
Figure out the next move, gonna get lost
Keeping it coming at any cost
You know there’s trouble in any way
When you get so much that you don’t wanna stay
Jericho, Jericho
Is moving too slow
Oh this ain’t nothing like a one-man show
Jericho is under the line
And I just want a piece of what used to be mine
Handshake like a dead fish, met with a face
That’s looking at life in so many ways
I know there’s stuff I don’t understand
When I find my way through a foreign land
Jericho, Jericho, Jericho
Is moving too slow
Oh this ain’t nothing like a one-man show
Jericho is under the line
Jericho is moving too slow
Jericho is under the line
And I just want a piece of what used to be mine
Just want a piece of what used to be mine
What used to be mine
What used to be mine
It used to be mine
What used to be mine

Signs That Passed
05:21
|

|
Well you started out riding fast, riding hard
Then you found you were still backyard
You tried to go on but you got scared
And you never got to see the signs that passed
Never got to see the signs that passed, oh no
Expectations went down the road as the road got rough
But you didn’t look back, thinking it would make you tough
Did you go too far, to get close enough
The signs said right but you turned left
You were going fast, much too fast
The signs said up, but you went down
And you never got to see the signs that passed
You’ll never change, you’ll never change in any way
You’ll never change, you’ll never change in any way
You’ll stay in the same old place
You’ll see the same old face
You’ll see that same old place
For ever and ever
You’re back in town, and you’ve slowed down
You think it’s too late, and you’re on your own
You know what’s gonna last, go change the past
You never got to see the signs that passed
You were going fast, much too fast
Go and see the signs that passed
Go and see the signs that passed

I know where you come from, I know who you are
You paint yourself in gold and your blood runs cold
You come from up the valley where the rivers run so deep
You think you can take this world with your words
I know the reason you come around here
You made a mess back there and you ran away in fear
Now you think you’ve got it all worked out
Now you see things clear
But in fact, it’s only a matter of time
It’s a matter of time, before the walls come tumbling down
You sit on your throne smoking your cigar
While the servants wash your car, you hope to go far
Your tongue is soaked in lies, and as the time flies
You impose on others your chains and ties
I know the reason you come around here
You made a mess back there and you ran away In fear
Now you think you’ve got it all worked out
And now you see things clear
But In fact, it’s only a matter of time
It’s a matter of time, before the walls come tumbling down
Oh, you better run, before the walls come tumbling down on you

Unwind
02:58
|
|||
|
Everyday you wake up with a smile on your face and a lie in your mouth
Everybody thinks you are happy, you’re not, and you don’t want it to come out
It’s not the fools you are fooling but yourself, and that’s not too cool
You better step out of this life, step out of this life
Or else, your’re gonna die
Everyday you go to work, you drive your car but in your life you haven’t really come far
Always wanted it to go some where, but you’re still here
And when you come home for dinner you ask yourself, who is this for?
And you can’t take it no more, you can’t take it no more
You can’t take it, anymore
You need to unwind
You need to unwind
You need to unwind
You need to unwind
Unwind
In the evening you go to bed you rest your head, but not your mind
You wish you could but you can’t, that`s why you say you feel so old
And this is just another night wide awake, wide awake
You better step out of this life, step out of this life
Or else, you’re gonna die
You need to unwind
You need to unwind
You need to unwind
You need to unwind
