sun
KEEP SPEAKING SOFTLY
AND SOON I'LL AGREE
TO NO LONGER QUESTION
ALL THAT I SEE
I'M ON MY WAY ...
DON'T FIGHT WITH YOURSELF
DON'T YOU FIGHT WITH YOURSELF
DON'T YOU FIGHT ANYMORE
DON'T CRY FOR YOURSELF
DON'T YOU CRY FOR YOURSELF
DON'T YOU CRY ANYMORE
AM I FEELING COLD?
AM I FEELING GREY?
AM I GROWING OLD?
OR AM I HERE TO STAY?
THE SUN IS IN MY EYES
THE SUN IS IN MY EYES
(FOR YOU TO SHINE -
FOR YOU TO SEED -
FOR YOU TO FLY)
THE SUN IS IN MY EYES
(FOR YOU TO BREATH -
FOR YOU TO DIE, DIE)
THE SUN IS IN MY EYES
THE SUN IS IN MY EYES
THE SUN IS IN MY EYES
HOW CAN YOU PRETEND
TO BE ALIVE?
I'M LEFT ALONE SO,
HERE WE GO HERE WE GO
HERE WE GO AGAIN
WHEN YOU FALL ASLEEP
AND THEN FALL ASLEEP
AND THEN FALL ASLEEP
THE SUN IS IN MY EYES

welcome
WELL I FIND IT FUNNY
AND I FIND IT SAD
WHEN I DON'T SEE A DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN GOOD AND BAD
ALL I FEAR - I FEAR IS TRUE
I WAS ONCE A PROPHET
OF A MIGHTY DREAM
NOW I SIT IN SILENCE
JUST TO HEAR YOU SCREAM
ALL I FEAR - YOU FEAR IT, TOO
DO YOU FEEL
YES, I FEEL I FEEL IT, TOO
AND YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE
AND I AM BLIND
TO THE LESSONS OF YESTERDAY
AS I DARE TO IMAGINE ANOTHER WAY
ALL I WANTED - YOU WANTED, TOO
AND IT'S JUST A TALE
THAT YOU BURN TO TELL
AS I TRY AND SHATTER
YOUR EMPTY SHELL
IT'S TRUE OF ME -
AND IT'S TRUE OF YOU
DO YOU FEEL -
YES, I FEEL I FEEL IT, TOO
AND YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE
AS YOU CRAWL INSIDE
OF MY CARDBOARD BOX
WITH THE WINDOWS SHUT
AND THE DOORS ALL LOCKED
ALL I FEAR - I FEAR IS TRUE
SO I'LL KEEP ON SMILING
THE BEST I CAN
AS WE PLAY THE ROLE OF
THE WELCOME MAN
IT'S TRUE FOR ME -
IT'S TRUE FOR YOU
DO YOU FEEL -
YES, I FEEL I FEEL IT, TOO
AND YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE

SITTING BY THE OCEAN SIDE
GAZING AT THE FAR AND WIDE
IS DESTRUCTION SUCH A CRIME?
IN THIS SPLENDIDLY DISTURBING TIME?
IN THE PAIN AND SADNESS
CAN YOU FEEL THE REASON WHY?
IN THIS AGE OF MADNESS
WILL YOU SING MY LULLABY?
I AM JUST A PASSING STAR
DO YOU WONDER WHO YOU ARE?
CROSSING OVER DESERT SANDS
TOWARDS GENTLE-HEARTED
PROMISED LANDS
IN THE PAIN AND SADNESS
CAN YOU FEEL THE REASON WHY?
IN THIS AGE OF MADNESS
WILL YOU SING MY LULLABY?
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF ME
AS I CRAWL BACK TO THE SEA
BACK BESIDE THE OCEANSIDE
GAZING AT THE FAR AND WIDE
WAS DESTRUCTION SUCH A CRIME?
FOR THIS SPLENDIDLY DISTURBING TIME?
IN THE NOISE OF SADNESS
CAN YOU HEAR THE REASON WHY?
IN THIS AGE OF MADNESS
WILL YOU SING MY LULLABY?
THERE IS NOTHING LEFT OF ME
AS I CRAWL BACK TO THE SEA

madness
FREE...
GIVE IT AWAY...
FREE...
WALKING OUT OF THE SUN
PERFECTLY MATCHED FOR OURSELVES
WE ARE DEAF TO THE LESSONS
OF THE AGES
AND YOU ARE NOT ALONE
IN FEELING LONELY
SKATING ON THE RAZOR'S EDGE OF SANITY
IS A GRUELING ENDURANCE
DESTRUCTION BEFORE CREATION
IS NATURE'S WAY
THE INSIGNIFICANCE
THE GENIUS
ALL ROLLED INTO
1/1 BILLIONTH OF A QUARK
THE OCEAN TOO LIVES INSIDE THE FISH
AND THERE'S JUST NO TIME
LIKE THE PRESENT
CAN YOU FEEL ME NOW?
MADNESS DROVE US HERE
MADNESS DROVE US HERE
MONTHS TURNED INTO YEARS
I MET UP WITH THAT FREIGHT TRAIN
THE ONE I NEVER SAW COMING
BUT YOU TOLD ME IT WAS OUT THERE
I COULDN'T HEAR IT FOR THE NOISE
THAT'S BEEN FILLING UP MY HEAD
OH MOTHER
OH FATHER
OH GREAT MAKER
I AM OVER HERE
SITTING ON YOUR LIPS
THE SUN WHISPERS ITS SECRETS TO ME
I AM READY TO LISTEN NOW:
THEY SAY...
THE MEEK...
THEY SAY...
MEEK... MEEK... MEEK...

puppets
COME GATHER ROUND YOUNG & OLD
FOR THIS STORY'S ABOUT TO BE SOLD
IT'S SEEMS THAT WHILE WE'VE BEEN ASLEEP
THE MASTERS WERE PLAYING FOR KEEPS
HOW CAN I LIVE AS A PUPPET?
HOW COULD I LOVE AS A PUPPET?
THE BEES
THEY HAVE ALL GONE AWAY
AND THE BIRDS
THEY HAVE NOWHERE TO STAY
THE SEEDS
OF TOMORROW WON'T GROW
IS IT TOO LATE TO STOP
THE SHOW?
HOW WOULD I LIVE IN A WORLD
WITHOUT PUPPETS?
HOW WOULD I LOVE NOT AS A PUPPET?
"LEND ME YOUR EARS
AND I'LL SING YOU A SONG" ~JL & PM
IT'S ONE YOU MAY ALREADY KNOW
GIVE ME YOUR SHEARS
LET'S SAY OUR GOODBYES
THE CURTAIN HAS FINALLY CLOSED
PUPPETS
WE'RE ALL PUPPETS
PUPPETS
WE'RE ALL PUPPETS
COME GATHER ROUND YOUNG & OLD
FOR THIS STORY'S ABOUT TO BE TOLD
A LIFE THAT IS NOT PULLED BY STRINGS
IS A CIRCUS WITHOUT ANY RINGS
PUPPETS
WE'RE ALL PUPPETS
PUPPETS
WE'RE ALL PUPPETS
one man
ONE MAN
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
CAN YOU FINISH
WHAT YOU'VE BEGUN?
I WANT YOU TO KNOW
I'M NO LONGER CHOKING
ON THESE HOLLOW BONES
NOW IT'S OVER
AND I'M NOT ALONE
BACK TO THE GARDEN
TO BUILD A NEW HOME
SO I'M ONLY ASKING...
ONE MAN
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?
WILL YOU REALIZE
THAT NO ONE WILL EVER COME?
OLD MAN IT'S OVER NOW
WILL YOU REALIZE
IT'S FINALLY TIME TO
STAND DOWN?
I HEAR THE SOUND OF HER VOICE
SINGING HER SORROW
BUT SHE HAS NO CHOICE
NOW IT'S OVER
BUT IT'S NOT THE END
FEEDING THE DRAGON
ITS TAIL AGAIN
SO I'M ONLY ASKING...
ONE MAN WHAT
HAVE YOU DONE?
WILL YOU REALIZE
THAT NO ONE WILL EVER COME?
OLD MAN
IT'S OVER NOW
WILL YOU REALIZE
IT'S FINALLY TIME TO
STAND DOWN?

annihilation
I AM THE ONE
WHO'S COME TO BRING ME
TO MY KNEES
I AM THE ONE
WHO STANDS
BETWEEN ME
AND MY DEEDS
HOW COULD I KNOW
I'VE USED ME SO?
AND NOW I STAND HERE TREMBLING
AND I DON'T KNOW
TO LAUGH OR CRY
AM I CRAZY HAVE
I LOST MY MIND?
BRING OUT YOUR DEAD
AND GET IN LINE
2,000 YEARS, OR MAYBE MORE
THEY'VE TOLD US ALL
WHAT LIES IN STORE
OH MERCY ME
MS. DESTINY IS CALLING ME
TO SET HER FREE
I AM THE SUN
I AM THE ONE
AND I HAVE COME
TO JOIN THE FUN
THY WILL BE DONE
THE ONLY QUESTION
I HAVE FOR YOU
WHAT DID YOU DO
WHEN YOU FINALLY KNEW?
THAT YOU ARE THE SUN
AND YOU ARE THE ONE
AND YOU HAVE COME
TO JOIN THE FUN
I AM THE SUN,
I AM THE ONE
AND I HAVE COME
TO JOIN THE FUN
THY WILL BE DONE
