Aria

As a child, we played the game

Fought the war, but felt no pain

Arm to arm, we left the skin

Then said the words, remember them



Oh, never a moments doubt

Oh, feel it, scream it loud



Chorus:

Anytime that you call

Anytime if you fall

Anytime I'll be there for you

Any moment of fear

Anytime say the prayer

Swear that our word is true



Should I go

Should I stay?

I won't turn my head away

Cross the line, the great divide

So kill the silence, where we hide



Oh, never a moments doubt

Oh, feel it so scream it loud



Chorus



If clouds fall, stand tall

As mountains climb from endless sea

Call out, fear not

Bring back that memory



Chorus

Walked the streets at night

Head low

To cross the borderline

That only you know

Then inside your room

You'll show

The man you did not want to be



Chorus:

Are you big enough?

Are you losing your touch?

And if you walk away

Don't you know you'd better change



From these early days

Don't want to let go

You'd climb the stairs of change

To her room

Held those clothes so soft

Was it so good

To paint the face the scars of youth?



Chorus

From the very first rush

To the very last sigh

In a moment's touch

To the whole of time

Be the secrets of pain

Kiss the tears that you cry



Just to hold without

Get to touch within

From the sound of your breath

To the taste of your skin

I'd give all my days

Just for one of your nights



I've just got to get next to you

Let it out, let it go



Chorus:

Desire, make it physical

Looks to feed the thrill

Desire, with its hungry eyes

Closing for the kill

Desire, all that's left in me

Tears the night in two

Desire, like a primitive

Claw my way to you

Are you thinking of me

Like I'm thinking of you?



How the innocence dies

In a passionate stare

A shaft of light

A silent dare

The call of the wild...



From the very first crime

Of original sin

To the carnal lie

Where the truth begins

Just to feel your nails

Lift me up like wings



I've just got to get next to you

Let it out, let it go



Chorus

Her fingers feel the air

The mantle now so bare

From green then into brown

Lie scattered all around

We hope they will return

Like those before did learn

Now that their summer's gone

We have to carry on



Till we rise, I just can't wait

Now tell me, who are you

To judge my fate?



Chorus:

Oh, the rain burns on

Now that summer's gone

Oh, the wind blows strong

Now that summer's gone



Across the fields we ran

To emerald castles, banned

By rule of modern man

Who built a winterland

Then as the seasons change

He'll fly and hide away

Above a cloud of words

On wings of gold I heard



We must rise, it's not too late

Now tell me, who are you

To change our fate?



Chorus

When you wake, I'll be gone

Just a space, an empty chair

And I know, I was wrong

Just one more time, then I'll be gone



Who stopped the sky from falling?

Who held you back from harm?

Who stood as walls were falling?

A call still guides us on



Chorus:

It's a sad situation

And no one's to blame

I'ts a sad situation

Now you're gone

It's a sad situation

Which someday may change

It's a sad situation

Now you're gone



In the dawn, turn the page

We stand alone, as the lions rage

I suppose we'll move on

A fight of minds, that still breathe strong



Who stopped the sky from falling?

Who held you back from harm?

WHo held you close when hurting?

Who keeps the doves of hope?



Chorus

He was just a lonely kid

No matter what he did

Was never recognised

Then you came along

Was the second son

So special in their eyes



Oh how he ran

To the city where his dreams would turn to man

Oh how he ran



So he lived his life alone

Where he lay was home

Then they made him move along

From town to town

With his head held down

Then he turned towards the gun



Again how he ran

From the badge he had no chance to understand

Oh how he ran



Chorus:

Don't cut the wire, cos he really needs you now

Don't cut the wire, in the final hour

When it comes to the rest, you were always the best

Brother don't you cut the wire



Many years have passed

But behind the mask

He always thought of you

Now with a gun in hand

It's his final stand

Your brother needs you too



He knows how he ran

From the child he was

Then later from the man

Oh how he ran



Chorus

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?

The battlefield, the smoke has cleared

Silence in sight, the blood lies deep

Look from the hills, the valley calls

Six hundred fall, a lost to all



Someday, somewhere, ever calling

One time, one life, ever falling



Chorus:

And will you remember

The flowers in the fields?

And will you remember

The loss of one so dear

And will you remember

Through the mist of lies?

Remember

Their spirit never dies

Remember



Out of the skies, and into the green

Fuelled by the lies, paid by soul



Soldire, hero, well 'Uncle Sam'

He don't wanna know



Chorus

So early in the morning

It's the same now every day

Sign your name and number

Cutting from the ball and chain



Never letting go when

The weight was so deceiving

Treading on a turning wheel



Machinery is screaming

Shoulder to the stone again

Praying for the evening

Hiding as the fist hits steel



Chorus:

Enough's enough

It's eye to eye

Enough's enough

We cry

Enough's enough

Of smoke and steel

Enough's enough

Of turning this wheel



Looking at his picture

Steel did turn the skin to bone

Father I remember

The hands that had to break the stone



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

As I look back

In that last act

Far beyond the call of duty



Did I stay strong?

Did I give more?

Far beyond the call of duty



And I know, you know... now
