Ring of Fire

ality

Now the light has come and gone
Feeling like my life is broken
Useless words just come and go
Lost before they can be spoken
I try to explain impulsively
With lines of insane geometry

If I lost my memory
Would you still remember me
Blinded momentarily
A lapse of reality


2. Saint Fire


How many teardrops have you cried
And left you inspired
How many dreams have left you dry
To find your desire
How many people never learn
To open their eyes
How many bridges will they burn
With so many lies?
In the morning after
Nothing really matters

Saint fire, call your flame
From the mountain
Saint fire, light the way
Burn the darkness
Saint fire, judgement day
Comes just like a lonely dancer

Calling on visions from the past
The people decide
What to destroy and what should last
The facts are denied
Burning hearts can never
Stay asleep forever

Saint fire, call your flame
From the mountain
Saint fire, light the way
Burn the darkness
Saint fire, judgement day
Comes just like a lonely dancer


3. The Key


Love, love is the key
Inside of you
Inside of me
Why, why can't you see
Unlock your sadness and be free

Thousands of silvery ships sail into the sun
Ready for destiny with their guns
Some of them won't make it back
And some will survive
There's no permission to ask why

War is so useless
When no one wins anyway

Love, love is the key
Inside of you
Inside of me
Why, why can't you see
Unlock your sadness and be free

Now there's a cold bitter wind
That's blowing again
Taking all feeling from hearts of men
So hard to see through the tears that keep us apart
So tired of making a new start

War is so useless
When no one wins anyway

Love, love is the key
Inside of you
Inside of me
Why, why can't you see
Unlock your sadness and be free


4. Darkfall


There comes a time
When the clouds are too heavy to fly
Shadows inside
Desperate feelings are trying to hide
In the night something happens in the dark
Unexplained

Don't let the sun go down
Don't let it hit the ground
Don't wanna hear the sound
Don't let the sun go down

Look in the mirror
But the answers are not very clear
What do I see?
Don't remember who I'm supposed to be
In the night something happens in the dark
Unexplained

Don't let the sun go down
Don't let it hit the ground
Don't wanna hear the sound
Don't let the sun go down
Mountains of fear
Standing over a wall of tears
Is this my life?
I feel deader that if I had died
In the night something happens in the dark
Unexplained

Don't let the sun go down
Don't let it hit the ground
Don't wanna hear the sound
Don't let the sun go down


5. One Little Mystery


Don't be misled by the color
Of any clouds in the sky
Cause it's so hard to discover
Any reasons why
We were like birds of a feather
Together all of the time
Our loving always delivered
The sweetest of wine

And the end to the story
I'm still trying to find
It's so hard not to worry
Cause I can see in you and me
One little mystery
Somewhere in history
Something that used to be
One little mystery

I don't walk any others
I don't believe in goodbyes
But it's so cold in the summer when
Your sun doesn't shine
Feel like I'm stuck at the bottom
No way to get to the top
I go to get where I am going to
And never stop

And the end to the story
I'm still trying to find
It's so hard not to worry
Cause I can see in you and me
One little mystery
Somewhere in history
Something that used to be
One little mystery


6. Perfect World


Everyone has a plan
Everyone has demands
One grain of sand makes a pearl
I want a perfect world
Making promises is easier
That to fulfill
A miracle will last forever

We are the people of the planet
We all imagine a perfect world
The kind of place where everything's alright
We are connected, we are troubled
So many answers, still no cure
Sleeping on dreams of a perfect world tonight

Why are you trying to hide
We're all the same inside
So many flags are unfurled
I want a perfect world
All our life is only just a feather in the wind
A miracle will last forever

We are the people of the planet
We all imagine a perfect world
The kind of place where everything's alright
We are connected, we are troubled
So many answers, still no cure
Sleeping on dreams of a perfect world tonight


7. Change


All those times you tabled them
Downtown conversations
I'm only seeing nothing but lies and reputations
Caught in a landslide no easy way to go down
Desperately dancing through all the tears
That I found
Open another sail
Get over this dry prevail
Finding a better play to twist things around

Change
It feels so strange
It's a brand new game
Change
Nothing's the same
You're the one to blame

Everything comes around to I told you so
And how you play it
Always abusing one of a kind will surely break it
Never look back now
You never want to slow down
Leave it behind you
There's nothing left in this town
Escape to another day
A habitual hideaway
Making a clean getaway when no one's around

Change
It feels so strange
It's a brand new game
Change
Nothing's the same
You're the one to blame

Time for you and me
To be free


8. That Kind Of Man


Haven't you heard
What they are sayin' seems so absurd
It can't be true
I can't believe it, it can't be you

Are you that kind of man?
I just don't understand
Why don't you show your hand?
I keep hearing
You're that kind of man

Heaven and earth
Fall from your fingers, what is it worth
Where is the crime
Why does it linger, wasting your time
Aren't you concerned
Aren't you preparing your crash and burn

Are you that kind of man?
I just don't understand
Why don't you show your hand?
I keep hearing
You're that kind of man

Now you're going down
Got those photographs you denied
You look like a clown
So surprised


9. You Were There


You were there
When I was all alone without a friend
You were there
When everything went wrong
You were there
To help me to go on and not pretend
You were there
To help me to be strong
Now you are gone
But deep inside me
You still live on, because

You lifted me up
Carried me over mountains I could never cross
You were my strength
You were my reason to be found when I was lost
You showed me the way
Always believing and never counting the cost
So every day
I thank the lord above that you're my hero

You were there
To keep me warm through all the coldest nights
You were there
To melt my heart of stone
You were there
To rescue me when I was losing sight
You were there, to bring me back home
Now you are gone
But deep inside me
You still live on, because

You lifted me up
Carried me over mountains I could never cross
You were my strength
I thank the lord above that you're my hero

Out on my own, at least I know
I'm never alone


10. Machine


Wandering the deepest night
Out of dreams and out of light
Lost my reason why
Close my eyes, don't want to see
All that was no more will be
I'm no longer me

If I had a machine
That could change yesterday to tomorrow
Then I could be free
To undo all the pain and the sorrow

Drowning in a sea of doom
Deep within my mental tomb
Ending came too soon

If I had a machine
That could change yesterday to tomorrow
Then I could be free
To undo all the pain and the sorrow

I'm no longer me...


11. Faithfully


It's been such a long time
I don't remember before
Situations combined
I can't take anymore
Should I put up the fight
Or just walk out the door
Leave this prison behind
Got to even the score

You never will set me free
From your need
From your greed

Every day, every night
Every wrong, every right
Every black, every white
Faithfully
Every high, every low
Every yes, every no
Every goodbye, every hello
Faithfully

I see you watching me
Painfully, endlessly
Counting my misery

If I made up my mind
You will already know
If I gave you a sign
You will never let go
So whatever I say
Will be counted untrue
And what ever I pray
Won't be enough for you

You never will set me free
From your need
From your greed

Every day, every night
Every wrong, every right
Every black, every white
Faithfully
Every high, every low
Every yes, every no
Every goodbye, every hello
Faithfully


12. I Don't Know (What You're Talking About)


Now the good old days are gone
And there is no more integrity
No more right or wrong
So what is getting better
Stay the course and take no heed
It's a factual emergency
No apology
No one will write a letter

Leading moral values low
An agenda that we'll never see
No one ever knows
until after tomorrow
Human deficit is high
What has happened to the family
Wills are running dry
To find some hope to borrow

Tomorrow, tomorrow
Will be a better day
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tell us now to doubt
But, I don't know what you're talking about

Nothing's ever what it seems
All that matters is efficiency
Never mind our dreams
They are swiftly passing
Tell us war delivers peace
After leveling divergency
Can it ever cease
Conflict everlasting

Tomorrow, tomorrow
Will be a better day
Tomorrow, tomorrow
Tell us now to doubt
But, I don't know what you're talking about
