Anthology

You can take it
If you want it
You can break it
If you need it

I'll never fight another day
But you can take the flesh not the soul away
They're calling from the lions den
They're fighting for the ghosts of holy men

Into the arena we climb
We look to the sky
Into the arena we climb
You and i

Is it over
When the light goes?
Bella nova
Tell me who knows

Scars will beat the minds of men
Can you feel the thorns upon the skin?
I'll never fight another day till i die

{chorus}
Yes i hear you
Yes i see you
Yes i feel you
And i need you

Is it over, i'll never fight another day
When the light goes?
But you can take the flesh, not the soul away
Bella nova, they're calling from the lions den
Tell me who knows?
They're fighting for the souls of holy men

{chorus}

hard times you had before you
I knew when i first saw you
You girl you've always been mistreated, cheated

So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh

Don't cry now that i've found you
Don' cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little darling please don't cry

I knew i'd never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Don't think of all that's been before

I'll hear you when you're calling
I'll catch you when you're falling
Don't worry i will always be there, like never before, or, oh

You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that i would have know by now

{chorus}
Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

{only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell
{only time will tell}
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when i die

{chorus}

{repeat first verse}
{repeat second verse}
{chorus}

{only time will tell}
You're on your own
Inside your room
{only time will tell}
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now

{only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell...

This problem is insoluble
The answers seem impossible
The logic ceases to exist
Emotion is the beat we miss

I stand on a world
Where dreams, realities, existence are the same
We take from the mother's skin
But the world is not to blame

<chorus>
Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know
So who can stop the rain?
We've lost the path for all we know
Now tell me when will it start again?
And as the old man lifts his hands
Please can you stop the rain?

Stars fall far away
Like they never did before
A new moon shining
Like it never will again

<chorus>

Desert white cloud
Spirits they sing
Rain falls from the big sky
Onto broken wing

There is no sense in turning back
To wash the debris from the track
World without fears without rhyme
We fought for peace within our time

<chorus>

Don't want to live in another world
Don't want to dream of another girl
That's the way it was meant to be

I couldn't sleep through the lonely night
I just cried till the morning
It's not the way it was meant to be

<chorus>
Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love my shine on you
Someday you may find the one

You didn't leave me, you ran away
Couldn't face what you had to say
It's not the way it was meant to be

Now you can live in your other world
Me, i've found me another girl
And that's the way it was meant to be

<chorus>

When i dream, i dream of one world
But i know there's no such place
If i could ever find that one girl
In my world, in my world

<chorus>

The fighting's over now
There's nowhere left to run
My ammunition's out
I'd better put down my gun
And as i face this life of fear
I'd better keep my conscience clear
Inside my mind i'm out of it
And i ain't never coming back

Chorus:
So don't come running here to find me
'cos i'm a military man
And as i spin this wheel of fortune
In my military world
I'm a military man

The architects of time
Are calling me
But i don't believe it
Necessarily
And as i face this life of fear
Break the chains
That bind me here
Inside my head i'm out of it
But i'm still never coming back

Chorus

I'm a military man
Just a military man yes i am

Time and tide,
Are the dreams that come and go,
They wait for no man on the shore.
Should you step,
In the same dark river twice,
Let it wash the sins away,

Is there time at hand,
With so much to say?
And i know, it's a different world today,
And i know, to another god we pray,
And i know, we're in different worlds today.

Here i stand,
My philosophy held high,
Like a preacher in a foreign land.
And here we walk,
In the wilderness of sands,
With the prophet and the holy man.

Is there time at hand,
With so much to say?
And i know, it's a different world today,
And i know, to another god we pray,
And i know, we're in different worlds today,
And i know, it's a different world today.

They're burning the book, they're burning the faith,
Our dream will be over,
Let's wake from the sleep, a legion we'll be,
To live forever.

I know i as wrong, i have to put it right,
I just can't let it slip away,
'cause it's a different world today.

Different world, different world, different world today,
Is it a better world today?

Feel my mind, the sleep is ending
As we rush into the sea
Take my eyes, and i will show you
The future in the deep

You must breathe on
You must be strong

Am i right to fight the distance
As we push against the tide?

You must breathe on
You must be strong

Rushing through my head, i can touch the thunder
Lighting up the mind, as the wind blows stronger
Pushing back the sea, as the storm is calling on
Louder than before, in the raging river
Faster than the stream, will it last forever?
Holding back the time, as the world stops turning

Feels like love...
Tell me, does it feel like love?

We look to the sky, to the statue of hope
She is holding the flame, as the island awoke
To the city of dreams, where the angel still sleeps
See the satellites glow as they rise from the sea

Feels like love...
Tell me, does it feel like love?
