Futureal (Harris/Bayley)
[2.55]
I'm running out of time, I'm running out of breath
And now it's getting so I can't sleep at night
In the day, feel like death
I'm getting in far too deep, I feel them closing in
I've got to say that I'm scared, I know they'll win
Even so, I'm prepared
Do you believe, what you hear
Can you believe, what you see
Do you believe, what you feel
Can you believe
What is real ?
Futureal
What is real ?
Whenever anyone seems to treat me like a freak
It makes me see I'm the only one who feels
That I know what is real
Sometimes it feels like a game of deadly hide and seek
And when you're reading this, then I'll be gone
Maybe then, you will see
Do you believe, what you hear
Can you believe, what you see
Do you believe, what you feel
Can you believe
What is real ?
Futureal
What is real ?
Futureal (Yeah!)
The Angel and the Gambler (Harris)
[9.52]
Roll of the dice
Take a spin of the wheel
Out of your hands now
So how do you feel
But you're not gonna win
Do you feel lucky
Or do you feel scared
Take what luck brings
And be Devil may care
But you're down on your luck
And what will the next day bring
A drift on the ocean
A float in a daydream
Or lost in a maze
Or blind in the haze
So what does it matter
So why don't you answer
So why did you send
An angel to mend
Best make decisions
Before it's too late
Take all your chances
Take hold of the reins
A roll of the dice
A head of the game again
Nothing to lose
But so much to gain
A little danger
It goes without saying
But what do you care
You're gonna go in the end
(repeat)
There's like a hunger
That knocks on your door
You've had a taste of it
Still you want more
You've made your mistakes
Won't play it the same again
You have been warned
But still you plunge in
You play high stakes
But there's nothing to win
You've only one life
And so many things to learn
The Angel on one side
The Devil on the other
Which path do you take
Decisions to make
Arrive at the crossroads
You know where you're going
And what if you wait
It may be too late
Don't you think I'm the saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
(repeat)
Lightning Strikes Twice (Murray/Harris)
[4.50]
I feel the breeze on my face in expectance
Not very long before the storm reaches here
Off in the distance the lightning flashing again
Feel something strong as the power draws near
It is the rolling of thunder that scares you
Is it the crashing of clouds that hold fear
But all I know as I sit in a corner alone
It takes me back to my childhood again
And as I wait and I look for an answer
To all the things going round in my head
I ask myself could it be a disaster and when
It's maybe threatening to happen again
As the ominous light draws near
There's a lone dog howls in the park
All the people hurry inside
As a lightning flash lights dark
The storm is nearly here
Only God will know
You're sitting alone you watch
As the wind is blowing treetops
And the swaying rustling leaves
Plenty of time to perceive
As you wait for rain to fall
Only God knows
The whole sky glows
Maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice
The Clansman (Harris)
[8.59]
Wake alone in the hills with the wind in your face
It feels good to be proud and be free and a race
That is part of a clan and to live on highlands
And the air that you breathe so pure and so clean
When alone on the hills
With the wind in your hair
With a longing to feel ..
Just to be free
It is right to believe in the need to be free
It’s a time when you die and without asking why
Can’t you see what they do they are grinding us down
They are taking our land that belongs to the clans
Not alone with a dream
Just want to be free
With a need to belong
I am a clansman .....Freedom
It’s a time wrought with fear it’s a land wrought with change
Ancestors could hear What is happening now
They would turn in their graves they would all be ashamed
That the land of the free has been written in chains
And I know what I want
When the timing is right
Then I’ll take what is mine
I am the clansman
And I swear to defend And we’ll fight to the end
And I swear that I’ll never be taken alive
And I know that we’ll stand and we’ll fight for our land
And I swear that my bairns Will be born free
And I know what I want When the timing is right
Then I’ll take what is mine I am the clansman
No, no we can’t let them take anymore
No we can’t let them take anymore
We’ve the land of the free ....
Freedom
(repeat 2nd verse)
Freedom
When Two Worlds Collide (Murray/Bayley/Harris)
[6.17]
My telescope looks out into the stars tonight
A little speck of light seems twice the size tonight
The Calculations are so fine can it be growing all the Time?
Now I can’t believe its true and I don’t know what to do
For the hundredth time I check the declination
Now the fear starts to grow even my computer shows
There are no errors in the calculations
Now its happened take no other view
Collision course, you must believe its true
Now there's nothing left that we can do
(chorus)
When Two Worlds collide
The anger and the pain
Of all those who remain
Two worlds collide
Who will be left alive
No place to hide
When Two Worlds Collide
The anger, the pain
Of those who remain
When two worlds collide
So who will survive
When Two Worlds collide
(repeat verse + chorus)
The Educated Fool (Harris)
[6.44]
I’m an educated fool So I don’t know what it is I’m supposed to do
About this awkward situation That's been forced down right upon me
As I’m walking down into on my own into the valley of life
Got a lifetime of experience yeah I’ve got so much to give
Open the page at chapter one could this just be that life’s just begun
Forever within your darker thoughts Reflecting on everything you’ve been
taught
Never felt this way before Seems that somebody’s just opened the door
To the book of life .... or is it death! Is there ever anyway out
Someone’s looking down on me to the very inner core of my soul
They won’t tell me what they see But I really want to know
I want to leave my life on my own
I want to lift the unturned stone
I want to walk right into the fire
I want to live out all my desires
Do you really wanna be Just another statistic or feel
That you really should aspire That you really do deserve more
Do you ever really fell That you have so much potential inside
What you really have to give Could be realized so much more
I want to go and see the fire burn
I want to see and feel my world burn
I want to know what more there’s to learn
I want to pass the point of no return
(Chorus)
Time will flow
And I will follow
Time will go
But I will follow
I want to feel what life’s like respond
I want to meet my father beyond
I want to walk right into the light
I want to live out all my desires
(repeat Chorus)
Don't Look To The Eyes Of A Stranger (Harris)
[8.03]
Don’t look to the eyes of a stranger
Don’t look to the eyes of a fool
Don’t look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody’s watching when the night comes down
Feel someone’s watching you You gotta get away
Is it the first time You’ve ever felt this scared
Feel the adrenaline pump Your heart begins to race
Begin to run now The sweat runs down your face
Don’t know which way to turn You’d better hide yourself
He’s getting closer now You’d better improvise
Just hope you never reach The point of no return
Could be the last time You see the light of day
Don’t look to, Don’t look to, Don’t look to the eyes of a stranger
Don’t look to the eyes of a stranger
Don’t look through the eyes of a fool
Don’t look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody’s watching when the light goes down
Como Estais Amigos (Gers/Bayley)
[5.32]
Como esta amigo
For the death of those we don’t know
Shall we kneel and say a prayer
They will never know we care
Shall we keep the fires burning
Shall we keep the flames alight
Shall we try to remember
What is wrong and what is right
No more tears, no more tears
If we live for a hundred years
Amigos no more tears
If we do forget them and the sacrifice they made
Will the wickedness and sadness come to visit us again
Shall we dance the dance in sunlight Shall we drink the wine of peace
Shall our tears be of joy Shall we keep at bay the beast
No more tears, no more tears
If we live for a hundred years
Amigos no more tears
Inside the scream is silent Inside it must remain
No victory, no vanquished Only horror, only pain
No more tears, no more tears
If we live for a hundred years
Amigos no more tears
