Peaceable Kingdom
-----------------
All this time we're talking and sharing our rational views
A billion other voices are spreading other news
All this time we're living and trying to understand
While a billion other choices are making their demands

Talk of a peaceable kingdom
Talk of a time without fear
The ones we wish would listen
Are never going to hear

Justice against the Hanged Man
Knight of Wands against the hour
Swords against the kingdom
Time against the Tower

All this time we're shuffling and laying out all our cards
While a billion other dealers are slipping past our guards
All this time we're hoping and praying we all might learn
While a billion other teachers are teaching them how to burn

Dream of a peaceable kingdom
Dream of a time without war
The ones we wish could hear us
Have heard it all before

Away toward the clearing sky

The Hermit against the Lovers
Oh, the Devil against the Fool
Swords against the kingdom
The Wheel against the rules

All this time we're builded like bonfires in the dark
A billion other blazes are shooting off their sparks
Every spark a drifting ember of desire
To fall upon the earth and spark another fire

A global angel on the fly
Away toward the clearing sky

Ghost Rider
-----------
Pack up all those phantoms
Shoulder that invisible load
Keep on riding north and west
Haunting that wilderness road
Like a ghost rider

Carry all those phantoms
Through bitter wind and stormy skies
From the desert to the mountain
From the lowest low to the highest high
Like a ghost rider

Keep on riding north and west
Then circle south and east
Show me beauty
But there is no peace
For a ghost rider

Shadows on the road behind
Shadows on the road ahead
There's nothing to stop you now
Nothing can stop you now

There's a shadow on the road behind
There's a shadow on the road ahead
There's nothing to stop you now
Nothing can stop you now

Sunrise in the mirror
Lightens an invisible load
Riding on an aimless quest
Haunting that wilderness road
Like a ghost rider

Just an escape artist racing against the night
A wandering hermit racing toward the light
From the white sands to the canyon lands
To the redwood stands to the barren lands

Sunrise on the road behind
Sunset on the road ahead
There's nothing to stop you now
Nothing can stop you now

There's a shadow on the road behind
There's a shadow on the road ahead
There's nothing to stop you now
Nothing can stop you now

Nothing can stop you now
There's nothing to stop you now
Ghost rider

Nocturne
--------
Did I have a dream, or did the dream have me?
Did I have a dream, or did the dream have me?

Sail aboard a night sea journey
Will I marry your desire
Drifting through large lattituides
With no compass and no chart
Flying through hallucination
Distant voices sing of choirs
Lighting up my unconscious
And the secret places of the heart

Dream - temporary madness
Dream- the voice in the wilderness
Dream - unconscience revelation
The morning says the answer is the end

Did I have a dream, or did the dream have me?
Did I have a dream, or did the dream have me?

Floating through a darkened mirror
Deep reflections in disguise
Soaring through lost altitudes
Without wonder, without fear
Symbols on a field of visions
Behind a curtain of sleepy eyes
Unconscious still awaking
Another world of dreams appears

Dream - temporary madness
Dream - the walk in the wilderness
Dream - unconscience recreation
The morning says the answer is the end

Dream - temporary madness
Dream - the voice in the wilderness
The morning says the answer is the end
The morning says the answer is the end
The morning says the answer is the end

Freeze (Part IV of "Fear")
--------------------------
The city crouches steaming, in the early morning half light
The sun is still a rumor, and the light is still a threat
Slipping through the dark streets and the echoes and the shadows
Something stirs behind me and my palms begin to sweat

Sometimes I freeze until the light comes
Sometimes I fly into the night
Sometimes I fight against the darkness
Sometimes I'm wrong
Sometimes I'm right

Cold immortal scream caught like a creature in the headlights
Into a desperate panic, or a tempest of blind fury
Like cornered beast
Or a conquering hero

The madness threatens
Closing
And i'm frozen in the shadows
I'm not prepared to run away
And i'm not prepared to fight
I could stand to reason
Or surrender to a reflex
I will trust my instincts
Or surrender to my fright

Sometimes we freeze
Until the light comes
Sometimes we [roll]
And sometimes we rise
Sometimes we fight
Against the darkness
Sometimes we fly
Into the night

Blood running cold
Mind going numb
Into a dark night
Of a desparate panic
Or a tempest of blind fury

Like a cornered beast
Or a conquering hero

Sometimes i freeze
Sometimes i fly

Sometimes I freeze
Until the light comes
Sometimes I fly
Into the night
Into the night
Into the night

Earthshine
----------
On certain nights, when the angles are right
And the moon is a slender crescent
Its circle shows, in a ghostly glow
Of earthly luminescence

Earthshine - A beacon in the night
I can raise my eyes to Earthshine
Earthshine - A jewel out of reach
Form a dream to rise to Earthshine

Floating high in the evening sky
I see my faint reflection
Pale facsimile
Like what others see
When they look in my direction

Earthshine - A beacon in the night
I can raise my eyes to Earthshine
Earthshine - stretching out your hand
Full of starlit diamonds, Earthshine

Reflected light
Through another side
And the moon tells another story
My borrowed face
And my burdened grace
Only reflect your glory

Earthshine - stretching out your hand
I can raise my eyes to Earthshine
Earthshine - you're still out of reach
For a dream to rise to Earthshine
For a dream to rise to Earthshine

Ceiling Unlimited
-----------------
It's not the heat it's the inhumanity
Lurking through the sweat of a summer street
Machine gun images pass like malice through the looking glass

The slack-jaw gaze of true profanity
Feels more like surrender than defeat
If culture is the curse of the thinking class

Ceiling unlimited
World so wide
Turn and turn again, turn again
Feeling unlimited
Still unsatisfied
Changes never end, never end

The vacant smile of true insanity
Dressed up in the mask of tragedy
Programmed for the guts and glands of idle minds and idle hands

I rest my case, at least my vanity
Dessed up in the mask of comedy
If laughter is a storm for a drowning man

Ceiling unlimited
Windows open wide
Look and look again, look again
Feeling unlimited
Eyes on the prize
Changes never end, never end

Winding like an ancient river
The time is now again
Wandering like an ancient river
The time is now again

Winding like an endless river

Sweet Miracle
-------------
I wasn't walking on water,
I was standing on the reef when the tide came in
Swept beneath the surface,
Lost without a trace,
No hope at all
No hope at all

Oh sweet miracle
Oh sweet miracle
Oh sweet miracle
Oh sweet miracle of life

I wasn't walking with angels
I was talking to myself
Rising up to the surface
Raging agains the night
Starless night

Oh sweet miracle
Oh sweet miracle
Oh sweet miracle
Love, sweet miracle of life

I wasn't praying for magic
I was hiding in plain sight
Rising up from the surface
To fly into the light
Into the light

Oh sweet miracle
Oh sweet miracle
Oh sweet miracle
Oh sweet miracle of life

Oh sweet miracle
Oh sweet miracle
Oh sweet miracle
Love, sweet miracle of life

Vapor Trail
-----------
Stratospheric traces
Of our transitory flight
Trails of condensation
Held in narrow bands of white

The sun is turning black
The world is turning gray
All the stars fade from the night
The ocean drain away

Horizon to horizon
Memory written on the wind
Fading away like an hourglass
Grain by grain
Swept away like voices in a hurricane
In a vapor trail
In a vapor trail

Atmospheric phases
Make the transitory lapse
Vaporize the memories
That freeze the fading past
Silence all the songbirds
Stilled by the killing frost
For it's burned to ashes
Every name is lost

Horizon to horizon
Memory written on the wind
Washed away like footprints in the rain
Swept away like voices in a hurricane
In a vapor trail
In a vapor trail

Washed away like footprints in the rain
Swept away like voices in a hurricane

In a vapor trail
In a vapor trail
In a vapor trail
In a vapor trail
In a vapor trail
In a vapor trail
In a vapor trail
In a vapor trail

How It Is
---------
Here's a little trap that sometimes catches everyone
For todays as far as we can see
See some bright tommorrows
Give way to resignation

That's how it is
How it's going to be
It's such a cloudy day
A scene will never see the sun
I feel the day has possibilities

Floating in the moment
The laughter, imagination
Seeing how it is
And how it ought to be
Seeing how it is
And how it ought to be

Here's a little trap that sometimes trips up everyone
When we're tired of our own company
Sometimes we're lost to see beyond the day's frustration
That's how it is
How it's going to be
It's such a cloudy day
Seeing we'll never see the sun
I feel the day has possibilities
Burning in the moment
Trapped by the desperation

Seeing how it is
And how it ought to be
Seeing how it is
And how it ought to be

My foot upon the stair
shoulder to the wheel
You can't tell yourself not to care
You can't tell yourself how to feel
That's how it is
That's how it is

Another cloudy day
Seeing we'll never see the sun
I feel the day has possibilities
Floating in the moment
The laughter, the resignation

Seeing how it is
And how it ought to be
Seeing how it is
And how it ought to be

Out of the Cradle
-----------------
It's not a place, it's a yearning
It's not a maze, it's a journey
It's not a map, it's attraction
It's not a style, it's an action

It's a dream for the waking
It's a flower touched by flame
It's a gift of the giving
It's the power of the living

A surge of energy
A spark of inspiration
The breath of love
It's electricity

Maybe time is a bird in flight
Endlessly rocking
Here we come out of the cradle
Endlessly rocking
Endlessly rocking

It's the hand that rocks the cradle
It's the motion that swings the sky
It's the [??] on the edge of madness
It's the balance on the edge of night
It's the smile on the edge of sadness
It's the dance on the edge of light

A surge of energy
A spark of inspiration
The breath of love
It's electricity

Here we come
Out of the cradle
Endlessly rocking
Endlessly rocking

A surge of energy
A spark of inspiration
The breath of love
It's electricity

Maybe time is a bird in flight
Endlessly rocking
You will come out of the cradle
Endlessly rocking
Endlessly rocking

Here we come
Out of the cradle
Endlessly rocking
Endlessly rocking

Secret Touch
------------
The way out is the way in
The way out is the way in

The way out is the way in
The way out is the way in

Out of touch with the weather and the wind direction
With the sunrise and the feelings of of the moon

Out of touch with life in the land of the loving
With a living night and the darkness of high noon

You can never break the chains
There is never love without pain

A gentle hand
A secret touch on the heart
A gentle hand
A secret touch on the heart

The way out is the way in
The way out is the way in

The way out is the way in
The way out is the way in

Out of sync with the rhythm of my own reactions
But the things that last
And the things that come apart

Out of sync with the love in the land of the living
And the gentle hand
A secret touch on the heart

You can never break the chain
(You can never break the chain)
There is never love without pain
(There is never love without pain)

A gentle hand
A secret touch on the heart
A healing hand
A secret touch on the heart

The way out is the way in
The way out is the way in

The way out is the way in
The way out is the way in

The way out is the way in
The way out is the way in

The way out is the way in
The way out is the way in

You can never break the chain
There is never love without pain
A gentle hand
A secret touch on the heart
You can never break the chain
Life is a tower that remains

A healing hand
A secret touch on the heart
A gentle hand
A secret touch on the heart

The way out is the way in
The way out is the way in

The way out is the way in
The way out is the way in

Stars Look Down
---------------
Like a fly on the wheel says
What a lot of dust we're raising

Are you under the illusion
That you're part of the scene?
Does it seem a lifetime ago
That you looked with pride on your world of peace?

What is the meaning of this?
And the stars look down
What are you trying to do?
And the stars look down
Was it something I said?
And the stars look down

Like a rat in a maze says
Watch me choose my own direction

Are you under the illusion
The map is winding your way
Are you suprised by confusion
When it leads you astray

Have you lived a lifetime today
Or do you feel like you just got buried away?

What is the meaning of this?
And the stars look down
What are you trying to do?
And the stars look down
Was it something I said?
And the stars look down
Something that you'd like me to do?
And the stars look down
And the stars look down

What is the meaning of this?
And the stars look down
What are you trying to do?
And the stars look down
Was it something I said?
And the stars look down
Something that I need to do?
And the stars look down
And the stars look down
And the stars look down
