From Genesis To Revelation

Mister you've been caught at last
Chasing dogs in the moonlight
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win
Mister you've got one more chance
If you catch the hound when the sun shines
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win

And it's all gone wrong
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

Have you seen the one-eyed hound?
Tell me where he's going
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win
Every place that i have been
No-one else has seen him
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win

And it's all gone wrong
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

Everybody's telling me exactly where to go
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win
People call and people talk
But they don't reach agreement
This man committed a sin
This man he never can win

And it's all gone wrong
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
And it's all been tried before
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound
Night is the time for chasing the one-eyed hound

Pick me up, put me down
Push me in, turn me round
Switch me on, let me go
- i have a mind of my own

In hiding
Far from the city of night
And the factories of truth
I stand upon the mountain
A million miles from my home
And the faces of fear
I have freedom to think

In hiding
I may take off my clothes
That i wear on my face
I float upon a river
A million miles from the plains
That are piercing the clouds
I am lost in the beauty
In hiding

Pick me up, put me down
Push me in, turn me round
Switch me on, let me go
- i have a mind of my own

I wish you were here

In hiding
I lie silent at last
I'm free from my past
I walk among the tall trees
This is beauty i know
I'm in love with it all
I have freedom to love
In hiding

Pick me up, put me down
Push me in, turn me round
Switch me on, let me go
- i have a mind of my own

Pick me up, put me down
Push me in, turn me round
Switch me on, let me go
- i have a mind of my own

Every morning when the people are out
And i'm free move around on my own
I look into the sun and i see a reflection
Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man
That's me, that's me
And i know it's how i'm always gonna be

Nothing to do, nothing to say
Nothing to hope, and nothing to pray

I can see, i can feel
I've forgotten what i'm meant to be
Won't come back, not if i try

They told me things about me that i didn't know
But i could tell they've told me lies
And it really goes to show
That everyone was wrong
And they don't understand my ways
But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them

I can see, i can feel
I've forgotten what i'm meant to be
Won't come back, not if i try

They told me things about me that i didn't know
But i could tell they've told me lies
And it really goes to show
That everyone was wrong
And they don't understand my ways
But it's not me that's going wrong, it's them

Every morning when the people are out
And i'm free move around my own
I look into the sun and i see a reflection
Of a sad and lonely shrivelled man

That's me, that's me
And i know it's how i'm always gonna be

That's me, that's me
And i know it's how i'm always gonna be

Shrivelled old man
Who hides from a world
He's never seen the light
That can set him free
His vicious life
Is such a shame
I wanna find out who's to blame

And that's me, oh that's me, aaoh
Set me free

Don't get me wrong
I think i'm in love
But the feeling in the word is more
Than your crystal eyes will ever see in me
Don't get me wrong
Open your eyes
Although i cannot show my heart
I'll watch and hope while you are near to me

One day i'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day i'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams
One day i'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you

Birds of the sky, may i borrow your wings?
Very soon i'll ask my love
To travel with me to the world outside
Cherry trees, may i borrow your bloom?
Very soon i'll ask my love
To come inside the nest i'll build alone

One day i'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day i'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams
One day i'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you

Animal friends
Help me decide
When should i ask my love to leave?
I'll beg of you that she'll say yes to me
Breathe in deep
Now is the time
She looks at me and gently smiles
As if she knew i'd ask her all the time

One day i'll capture you
And call you to my side
One day i'll take you from
The boredom of our lives
One day we'll fly away
To the kingdom of my dreams
One day i'll find myself
And wrap it in my love for you

Slowly i stretch out my arms, freely
Shadows of night disappear
Rise from the slough of despond, find the pathway
Guiding us forward through pastures of dream day
Days to enjoy, peace i knew once before me
Dawning to dusk on the hills until morning
Come see me take my hand
Come see me in my land

Flying invisibly high, watch me
All on a beautiful sky, i'll be
Clear and serene in the love i've discovered
Long search is over, the soul is uncovered
Resting on joy that abounds without ceasing
Bidding farewell to the fears now decreasing
Come see me take my hand
Come see me in my land

High on a golden crested wave she sits
The little nymphs dance in her hair
The trees all beckon to the sky to bless their empty lives
Horizons come to sip wine there
The veiled mist reveals the wandering ship upon the reef
The albatross flies to the stern
But only jack frost saw the kiss you gave him in return

Crossing the mountains of truth see them
Soaring majestically high, and then
Stop at the warning light, see it flash brightly
Thunder awakes me, the crashes beside me
Shatters the scene and brings chaos to beauty
Leading us forward where destiny may be
Come see me take my hand
View from another land...

As daybreak breaks the mist upon the earth
It came to pass that beauty settled there forever more
And as the steam clings close to things to come
It came to pass that solid rock did part for humble life

Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion
Now there's hope reborn with every morning
See the future clearly at its dawning
Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness
Whilst water slips into the sea
The father's sad to see it's free

As shadows creep towards their master night
It came to pass that trees defied the wind who shook their leaves
And as the peace descended all around
It came to pass that nature's creatures came to face the world

Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion
Now there's hope reborn with every morning
See the future clearly at its dawning
Forever drifting slowly towards a hazy emptiness
Whilst water slips into the sea
The father's sad to see it's free

Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion
Now there's hope reborn with every morning
See the future clearly at its dawning

Once upon a time there was confusion
Disappointment, fear and disillusion

He climbs inside the looking glass
And points at anything he hates
He calls to you, "hey look out son
There's a gun they're pointing at your pretty face"

And the heads they are a rolling
Cos the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way

Five hundred little women
Are calling at their hero's door
Yes, their hero is working overtime
He's squirming on an empty floor

And the heads they are a rolling
Cos the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way

He's bought the castle on the hill
He's bought it just to knock it down
The local power shout him down
They say he's just an empty-headed clown

And the heads they are a rolling
Cos the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way

He's busy building monuments
To hide inside his empty grave
You there, can you find some souls
He's looking for some people to save

And the heads they are a rolling
Cos the conqueror is on his way
And the justice day is coming
For the conqueror is on his way
And the words of love are killing him
The conqueror is on his way

And the words of love were lying on an empty floor
Just in the place where the conqueror lay...

Am i very wrong
To hide behind the glare from an open minded stare
Am i very wrong
To wander in the fear of a never ending lie

Am i very wrong
To try to close my ears to the sound they play so loud
Am i very wrong
The happiness machine is trying hard to sing my song

Today's your birthday friend, everything all right
Let us our greetings to you send
Happy friend, everything all right
We hope your life will never end

Am i very wrong
To want to steal a pin then i'll check that i have skin
Am i very wrong
To want to leave my friends and the curse of the happiness machine

Today's your birthday friend, everything all right
Let us our greetings to you send
Happy friend, everything all right
We hope your life will never end

They say, we hope your life will never end
They say never end, never end, never end, never end, never end
They say never end - no
They say never end, never end...

Leaving all the world to play they disappear
And the leaves have gathered dust to run like deer
Tearing pieces from our lives to feed the dawn
Mist surrounds the seagulls christened by the storm

Music, all i hear is music - guaranteed to please
And i look for something else
Rain drops pouring down the rooftops
Flowing in the drains
As the people run their lives
As their lives are run by time

Fighting enemies with weapons made to kill
Death is easy as a substitute for pride
Victors join together, happy in their bed
Leaving cold outside the children of the dead

Music, all i hear is music - guaranteed to please
And i look for something else
Rain drops pouring down the rooftops
Flowing in the drains
As the people run their lives
As their lives are run by time...
