Morphine As you hold your face Heavy in your hands As you weigh it all up And begin to understand As the process accelerates And you shift down again As your system is compromised You get ready to crash It comes on slowly From the base of your spine Only mildly intense And the same every time Indifferent by the feeling And lost inside It comes on all friendly Now that you’ve gambled away The fate held in your hands Well it didn’t cost much Only about twenty grand There is no consequence And hopefully no contraband And the process accelerates As you shift down again All systems are compromised Where did you put that stash?

It comes on slowly From the base of your spine Only mildly intense And the same every time Lost inside this feeling And motionless in mind It comes on so friendly Well you’ve dropped the fate That you held in your arms You weighed it all up And didn’t see the harm That the bliss and the fall Was all part of the charm And the process accelerates As you shift down again It may be far too late You are about to crash

Stars I look into your eyes They tell me your secrets Deep green doorways Into your world I look beyond your soul Far beyond your eyes Through looking glass windows And one million lives I sense your smile rising Feel your heart pounding Silhouettes dancing Essence of life Falling through time Through time and space I fall from your grace And only one thing remains Everything changes I watch as it falls Slips through my fingers And fades from me My phoenix from fire My moths to the flame All fuel is exhausted And nothing is the same In your eyes tonight - stars - shine In your eyes angel - stars - shine Running through fields I see ghost images I’ve lost my horizon And found dark reflections My heart isn’t beating I can’t feel my feet My body is weighted Hollow and deep Souls to the flame Our lives to the fire Burning all reason And our desires In your eyes tonight - stars - shine In your eyes angel - stars - shine In your eyes tonight angel - stars - shine The stars in your eyes - shine

Passion Aggressive It’s coming on strong(er) It’s coming on fast(er) It’s coming on strong It’s coming on fast It’s coming on now I hope it lasts Sound & Fury It gives you the power and will And the courage to really feel That your struggle will finally be Favoured with chivalry So pray to the powers that are Take you to the brightest star To arrive where you’re meant to be With grace and pride and honesty Feel the fury - shake the ground Rock your world & knock you down Feel the fury - it’s all around you He closes in the god of sound With sword, armour and shield The greatest weapon you can wield Is the fire you have inside To do what you know is right Hold it high and hold it proud Charge into this darkest hour Cut it true and down to size Look you fear straight in the eyes Feel the fury - shake the ground Rock your world & knock you down Feel the fury - it’s all around you He closes in the god of sound Your fight is won But the battle’s just begun And the conflict will finally be Favoured with victory So pray to the powers of five Keep you moving and alive Where you’re destined to be With grace and pride and integrity Feel the fury - shake the ground Rock your world & knock you down

Feel the fury - it’s all around you He closes in the god of sound A little song for you Here’s a little song to remember me by Dry your eyes baby please don’t cry I’ve got to go now I’ve got to fly This is it baby - this is goodbye Keep this little song to remember me by Hold it close to you and deep inside With you so lovely I had a great time In your heart I found the counterpart to mine Here’s a little song to remember me by Dry your eyes baby I know you did try You’ve got to go now you’ve got to fly So take this song with you and say goodbye Say you’ll always love me and cherish the time We spent together when we were blind Always a wish away the binding of lives So I wrote this little song to remember it by…
