1. _ Dream In Infrared

2. _ Queen Of The Reich
In the dead of night
She'll come and take you away
Searing beams of light and thunder
Over blackened plains
She will find her way
Flying high through the night
She will hide your fate
As she takes your soul from under
And the blinding light of the castle fades
There is no escape
It's the ending of your precious life
Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the queen of the reich
The queen of the reich
Yeah she's coming for you
You're fading away
Your life cast astray
A victim the beast shall obtain
The light will not shine
For you'll die tonight at her shrine
And black is the last thing you'll see
Over and over
Dreams of dying fill your head
It's the sign of the cross
That you'll find ahead
No one will answer
The light is fading away
Captive souls are screaming out in pain
There is no escape
It's the ending of your precious life
Your soul slipped away
It belongs to the queen of the reich
You're fading away, no, no, no
The queen of the reich
You're slipping away, yeah
The queen of the reich

3. _ I Don't Believe In Love
I awoke on impact
Under surveillance from the camera eye
Searching high and low
The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime
Handcuffed and blind, i didn't do it
She said she loved me
I guess i never knew
But do we ever, ever really know?
She said she'd meet me on the other side
But i knew right then, i'd never find her
I don't believe in love
I never have, i never will
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
No more nightmares, i've seen them all
From the day i was born, they've haunted my every move
Every open hand's there to push and shove
No time for love it doesn't matter
She made a difference
I guess she had a way
Of making every night seem bright as day
Now i walk in shadows, never see the light
She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye
I don't believe in love
I never have, i never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in lovev i need to forget her face, i see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
No chance for contact
There's no raison d'etre
My only hope is one day i'll forget
The pain of knowing what can never be
With or without love it's all the same to me
I don't believe in love
I never have, i never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in love
I need to forget her face, i see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel

4. _ Bridge
You called me up on the phone today
Struggling with the right words to say.
Time can change a thing or two.
Time has changed the lives of me and you,
But you know... it could have been different dad.
The word brings back a sweet memory.
I'm sitting on a bluff on a broken tree,
By my side a distinguished man
Giving me encouragement, telling me i can,
And you know... you're not there.
You say, "son, let's forget the past,
I want another chance, gonna make it last."
You're begging me for a brand new start,
Trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart,
But you know... you never built it dad.
So i sit here through the night,
And i write myself to sleep,
And time keeps ticking...
Time has made you finally realize
Your loneliness and your guilt inside.
You're reaching for something you never had,
Turning around now you're looking back,
And you know... i'm not there.
You say, "son, let's forget the past.
I want another chance, gonna make it last."
You're begging me for a brand new start,
Trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart,
But you know... you never built it dad.

5. _ Someone Else? (full Band Version)
When i fell from grace i never realized
How deep the flood was around me
A man whose life was toil was like a kettle left to boil
And the water left these scars on me
The chains i wore were mine, dragging me towards my fate
Planned for me long ago
I played by all their rules, went to their right schools
Who was i to question?
They used to say i was nowhere man
Heading down was my destiny
But yesterday i swear that was
Someone else not me
Here i stand at the crossroad's edge
Afraid to reach out for eternity
One step when i look down
I see someone else, not me
I know now who i am, if only for awhile
I recognize the changes
I feel like i did, before the magic wore thin
And the baptism of stains began
Sacrifice, the always say... is a sign of nobility
But where does one draw the line in the face of injury?
I'm just trying to understand
Standing here at the crossroad's edge
Looking down at what i used to be
A drowning man, trying to stay afloat
Heavy with the past, but somehow keeping hope
That there's something more that is seen
But it's somewhere out of reach
So i keep looking back
Looking back and i see someone else
All my life they said i was going down
But i'm still standing stronger proud
And today i know, there's so much more i can be
I think i finally understand
From where i stand at the crossroad's edge
There's a path leading out to sea
And from somewhere deep in my mind
Sirens sing out loud, songs of doubt, as only they know how
But one glance back reminds and i see
Someone else, not me.
I keep looking back at someone else... me?

6. _ Take Hold Of The Flame
We see the light of those who find
A world has passed them by
To late to save a dream that's growing cold
We realize that fate must hide its face
From those who try
To see the distant signs of unforetold
Oh... oh, take hold
From a haze came a rage of thunder
Distant signs of darkness on the way
Fading cries scream of pain and hunger
But in the night the light will guide your way
So take hold of the flame
Don't you see life's a game
So take hold of the flame
You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain
Ride, to a place beyond our time
Reach, for the edges of your mind, and you are there
See, that the light will find its way
Back to a place where it will stay, make it stay
Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you
With the air of freedom the flame grows bright
We are the strong, the youth united
We are one, we are children of the light
So take hold of the flame
Don't you see life's a game
So take hold of the flame
You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain

7. _ I Am I
Beating with life you promised life,
Security, happiness.
Unfortunate son cornered,
Cowering in the pit of
Circling panes of glass that
Surround and reveal the ever present "it".
"it" is my move, my every look,
Interpreting gestures,
Informing other
What's undercover and
Lurking beneath my mask
Of this year's featured model.
Is this too much?
Close your eyes.
Care to look inside? i am i!
What may appear
Might easily be explained,
But given the situation
Of info saturation,
What you feel can never go away.
Steering perception? i am!
Inviting contradiction? i am!
It's my insistence
You keep your distance
From the glare behind my stare.
So this is the way
The game is played.
You can leave now...
But i think you'll stay. i am i!

8. _ Warning
I remember i was asking why
And someday you said i'd know
All these years, of fighting hard
And now it's finally come too close
I can't believe it's now happening to me
Oh, couldn't it wait a few hundred years
Destiny can't rest you see, now it's time
Time to cry your tears! now cry!
The child of centuries, forgotten in time
You talk in circles of rhyme
Seer of places future and past
The warning you gave us is surely our last
Warning!
Behold the child, his pointing hand
Is raised in solemn grace
His eyes once wide with learning wonder
Now leave stains upon his face
Now see the hands of the working man
He's leaning back against the wall
Once busy hands are idle now
Standing ready for the fall! our fall!
The signs will come as days past by
For those that claim to see
The blind will stay not choosing to die
Not believing the visions i've seen
Warning!

9. _ Empire
Last night the word came down, ten dead in chinatown.
Innocent, their only crime was being in the wrong place, at the wrong time
Too bad, people say what's wrong with the kids today
Tell you right now they've got nothing to lose
They're building empire!
Johnny used to work after school
At the cinema show.
Gotta hustle if he wants an education
He's got a long way to go.
Now he's out on the street all day
Selling crack to the people who pay.
Got an ak-47 for his best friend
Business the american way.
Eastside meets westside downtown.
No time, the walls fall down
Can't you feel it coming? empire! can't you hear it calling?
Black man, trapped again. hold his chain in his hand.
Brother killing brother for the profit of another,
Game point, nobody wins. decline, right on time.
What happened to the dream sublime?
Tear it all down, we'll put it up again. another empire?
Eastside meets westside downtown.
No time, no line, the walls fall down.
Can't you feel it coming? empire!
Can't you hear it coming empire!
Can't someone here stop it...??!!

10. _ Eyes Of A Stranger
[ page ]: dr. david, telephone please. dr. david
Dr. blair, dr. blair, dr. j. hamilton, dr. j hamilton
All alone now
Except for the memories
Of what we had and what we knew
Everytime i try to leave it behind me
I see something that reminds me of you
Every night the dreams return to haunt me
Your rosary wrapped around your throat
I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep
I see your face looking back at me
And i raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare
Is this all that's left
Of my life before me
Straight jacket memories, sedative highs
No happy ending like they've always promised
There's got to be something left for me
And i raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare [lies behind my stare]
How many times must i live this tragedy
How many more lies will they tell me
All i want is the same as everyone
Why am i here, and for how long
And i raise my head and stare
Into the eyes of a stranger
I've always known that the mirror never lies
People always turn away
From the eyes of a stranger
Afraid to know what
Lies behind the stare

11. _ Jet City Woman
Every time i leave
You say you won't be there.
And you're always there.
Every time i cry your name at night,
You pull close and say it's alright.
I look in your eyes, just like the rain.
Washing me, rain wash over me.
Touching your face, i feel the heat
Of your heartbeat echo in my head like a scream.
What you do to me!
Waited so long i can't wait another day without you.
Jet city woman.
It's a long way, home to my
Jet city woman.
I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind.
Whenever i'm alone i'm thinking,
There's a part missing from my life.
Wonder where i'd be without your love
Holding me together now i'm
Watching the time tick, tick away.
Face grows longer every day.
Fortunes are lost on the women i've seen
But without you i can't breathe!
You're the air to me!
Waited so long, i'm all alone thinking about you.
Jet city woman.
Got to find my way home to her.
Jet city woman.
I see her face everywhere i look!
Jet city woman.
Just a thousand miles and i'll be there
Jet city woman, to make the clouds go away.
Time for some blue sky!
Waited so long now the plane's delayed
And hour, reminds me of all our days apart.
Hold on, just a little longer.
Jet city woman.
Wonder where i'd be, you're the air to me.
Jet city woman.
Eyes like the rain, rain down on me.
Jet city woman.
No more nights alone i'm almost home now.
Jet city woman.
Close my eyes, i'm there in my jet city.

12. _ Walk In The Shadows
What? you say you're through with me
I'm not through with you
We've had what others might call love
You say it's over now,
What's done, what's through?
You can't stay away, you need me
I need you
When the fire starts the pain's too much
For your mind
You need attention, what's good is only mine
I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart
Just come to me
I'll take you home
We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream
We'll walk in the shadows
You say you don't feel safe alone tonight
Cause you feel the pressure building in your head
Our secret's safe for one more night
But when the morning comes remember
I'll be with you
We'll walk in the shadows
By day we'll live in a dream
We'll walk in the shadows
One day you'll be with me
If only you believe...

13. _ Sign Of The Times
Heading for the classroom yesterday
The kids file through the metal machine
It finds what they may hide
No it just ain't right...
A sign of the times
Another church is burning to the ground...
Looking for the vandals and they're nowhere to be found
But the hate's alive
A sign of the times, sign of the times...
A sign of the times, sign of the times...
(accoustic break)
Would someone please let me know how we have spun out of control?
Has the captain let go of the wheel?
Or could we please try to find a way to be a bit more kind?
I see the road to tomorrow in the haze!
(solo)
On the senate floor they congregate
Many pockets lined with green,
From those behind the scenes, yeah they take the bribe ( it's on the side )
A sign of the times, sign of the times...
A sign of the times, sign of the times...
(accoustic break)

14. _ Chasing Blue Sky
Shakin' time, she needs
Taking rides...to somewhere
Let's lose our minds, no hurry
I'm the wakeful night, with dreams...or something
Chasing blue sky,
We're chasing blue sky
Taking time from all this worry
Mesmerized by the waves of your smile
I wish that i could say something
But you're the rose colored glass i see through
I'll see you through
Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky
Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky
Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky
Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky

15. _ Silent Lucidity
Hush now, don't you cry
Wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
It was all a bad dream
Spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
Of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
Your dream is over... or has it just begun?
There's a place i like to hide
A doorway that i run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
But only didn't realize it and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
To face your fears, retrace the years
And ride the whims of your mind
Commanding in another world
Suddenly you hear and see
This magic new dimension
I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help you see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you, in silent lucidity
-spoken during solo-
[visualize your dream]
[record it in the present tense]
[put it into a permanent form]
[if you persist in your efforts]
[you can achieve dream control]
[dream control]
[how's that then, better?]
[hug me]
If you open your mind for me
You won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
You're safe from the pain in the dream domain
A soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion, can you realize
Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but...
I- will be watching over you
I- am gonna help to see it through
I- will protect you in the night
I- am smiling next to you....

16. _ The Lady Wore Black
On a lonely walk this morning
A light mist in the air
Dark clouds laughing at me in silence
Casting shadows through my hair
In the distance i saw a woman
Dressed in black with eyes of grey
She wore her pain like a shackled spirit
Eternal life was her debt to pay
The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wore black
Her mystic power calls to me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me free
The wind song whispered a warning
Telling me to beware
Of the quiet shadowed woman
And of the sadness i would share
We sat together for sometime together in silence
Never speaking in words
Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes
And i listened remembering all i heard
The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wore black
Her mystic power calls to me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me free
The words she spoke were of forgotten lives
And of all knowledge gained
Mem'ries i had and didn't know why
With a smile she explained
I should have listened to the wind's cold warning
And walked the other way
I touched her soul and now i bear her sentence
But for her love i'll gladly pay
The lady wore black
It's the sign of the prisoners lives
The lady wore black
See the years through the tears in her eyes
The lady wore black
Her mystic power calls to me
The lady wore black
Her love can set me free
