Se para collo pou eine toe bar

TWO SUNS IN THE SUNSET
In my rear view mirror the sun is going down
Sinking behind bridges in the road
And i think of all the good things
That we have left undone
And i suffer premonitions
Confirm suspicions
Of the holocaust to come
The rusting wire that holds the cork
That keeps the anger in
Gives way
And suddenly it's day again
The sun is in the east
Even though the day is done
Two suns in the sunset
Hmmmmmmmmmmm
Could be the human race is run
Like the moment when the brakes lock
And you slide towards the big truck
You stretch the frozen moments with your fear
And you'll never hear their voices
And you'll never see their faces
You have no recourse to the law anymore
And as the windshield melts
My tears evaporate
Leaving only charcoal to defend
Finally i understand
The feelings of the few
Ashes and diamonds
Foe and friend
We were all equal in the end

LEARNING TO FLY
Into the distance, ribbon of black,
stretched to the point of no turning back.
A flight of fancy on a wind swept field,
standing alone my senses reeled.
A fatal attraction holding me fast, how
can I escape this irresistible grasp?
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky,
tongue-tied amp; twisted just an eath-bound misfit.i.
Ice is forming on the tips of my wings,
unheeded warnings.
I thought,I thought of everything,
no navigator to guide my way home.
Unladened.Empty and turned to stone.
A soul in tension that's learning to fly.
Condition grounded but determined to try.
Can't keep my eyes from the circling skies.
Tongue-tied amp; twisted just an eath-bound misfit.i.
Above the planet on a wing and a prayer,
my grubby halo, a vapor trail in the empty air,
across the clouds I see my shadow fly,
out of the corner of my watering eye.
A dream unthreatened by the morning light.
Could blow this soul right through the roof of the night.
There's no sensation to compare with this,
suspended animation, a state of bliss.
Can't keep my eyes from the circling sky.
Tongue-tied amp; twisted just an eath-bound misfit.i.
THE DOGS OF WAR
Dogs of war and men of hate
with no cause, we don't discriminate.
Discovery is to be disowned
our currency is flesh and bone
hell opened up and put on sale
gather round and haggle
for hard catch, we will lie and deceive
even our masters don't know the webs we weave.
One world, it's a battleground,
one world, and we will smash it down,
one world… one world.
Invisible transfers, long distance calls,
hollow laughter in marble halls.
Steps have been taken, a silent uproar
has unleashed the dogs of war.
You can't stop what has begun,
signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion.
We all have a dark side, to say the least
and dealing in death is the nature of the beast.
one world, and they smash it down,
one world… one world.
The dogs of war don't negotiate.
The dogs of war won't capitulate,
they will take and you will give,
and you must die so that they may live.
You can knock at any door,
but wherever you go, you know they've been there,
before.
Well winners can lose and things can get strained,
but whatever you change, you know the dogs remain.
One world,it's a battleground,
one world are we going to smash it down?
One world… one world.
ONE SLIP
A restless eye across a wary room,
a glazed look and I was on the road to ruin.
The music played and played as we whirled without end
no hint, no word her honor to defend.
I will, I will she sighted to my request
And then she tossed her mane while my resolve was put,
to the test.
Then drowned in desire, our souls on fire.
I led the way to the funeral pyre,
and without thought of the consequence
I gave in to my decadence.
One slip, and down the hole we fall,
it seems to take no time at all.
A momentary lapse of reason.
That binds a life for life,
a small regret, you won't forget,
there'll be no sleep in here tonight.
Was it love, or was it the idea of being in love?
Or was in the hand of fate, that seemed to fit just,
like a glove?
The moment slipped by and soon the seeds were sown.
The year grew late and neither one wanted to remain,
alone.
One slip, and down the hole we fall,
it seems to take no time at all.
A momentary lapse of reason.
That binds a life to a life.
The one regret, you will never forget,
there'll be no sleep in here tonight.
One sleep… One sleep
ON THE TURNING AWAY
On the turning away,
from the pale and downtrodden.
And words they say
which we won't understand.
"Don't accept that what's happening.
Is just a case of other suffering.
Or you'll find that you're joining in
the turning away".
It's a sin that somehow,
light is changing to shadow.
And casting it's shroud
over all we have known
unaware how the ranks have grown.
Driven on by heart of stone,
we could find that we're all alone
in the dream of the proud.
On the wings of the night,
as the daytime is stirring
where the speechless unite.
In a silent accord,
using words you will find are strange.
And mesmerized as they light the flame
feel the new wind of change,
on the wings of the night.
No more turning away,
from the weak and the weary.
No more turning away,
from the coldness inside.
Just a world that we all must share.
It's not enough just to stand and stare.
Is it only a dream that there'll be,
no more turning away?
YET ANOTHER MOVIE
One sound, one single sound.
One kiss, one single kiss,
