Discerning The Times
I'll stay away some other day, you know it's not that easy To just say no when you're living in this hell I remember when the sister said she'd wait for true love only But that was years ago, now she sells herself for money Money! [Pre-chorus] There's no one here to let you down easy - easy! The beast feeds off the fears that keep us shaking [Chorus] (Can't shake the fears) Can't find my way out of here And I feel so alone (Time steals the years) On the streets of the empty soul She lies awake, her child has left in a rage And a shot cries out with no mercy It seems another boy with a deadly toy took his life - his life! [Pre-chorus] There's no one here to let you down easy - easy! The beast feeds off the fears that keep us shaking [Chorus] (Can't shake the fears) Can't find my way out of here And I feel so alone (Time steals the years) On the streets of the empty soul (Can't shake the fears) Can't find my way out of here And I feel so alone (Time steals the years) On the streets of the empty soul

I still stand here shaking as I watch you leave Oh how did it ever come this far I live with this shame (live with this shame) With nobody but myself to blame Oh, but I will live again free from the memories [Chorus] I'll look higher, free from the past, I will rise above Higher, free from myself, I will live again - live again! Well her face, it led me away And her eyes, they beckoned me The moment shattered the bounders Of things that should never be I live with the shame (live with the shame) With nobody but myself to blame Oh, but I will live again free from the memories [Chorus] I'll look higher, free from the past, I will rise above Higher, free from myself, I will live again - live again! I was the man who had it all and in just one night I watched it disappear I've got to suffer the pain I know There's one way to go from here Higher! [Chorus 2] Higher, free from the past, I will rise above Higher, free from myself, I will live again Higher! Higher, free from myself, I will live again

We've drifted far beyond all resolution Because lately with you it's been like Words without meaning and thoughts without feeling You say your love is free, but it's not all the easy [Chorus] It's my heart (it's my heart) that I've given you If you love me, then love me forever Or don't love me at all I've watched the best years of my life just wasted To go on with you would be like Daggers in the heart, my future torn apart And you, you say you'd like to see me But I won't be around [Chorus] It's my heart (it's my heart) that I've given you If you love me, then love me forever Or don't love me at all The truth stands before my eyes and I see that I was blind To think that love was just feelings And words alone have any meanings Now only the word that comes from above Can keep healing this feelings inside You say you're here to stay, but it's high time you went away [Chorus] It's my heart (it's my heart) that I've given you If you love me, then love me forever But It's not love at all - It's not love at all If you love me, then love me forever But It's not love at all - It's not love at all

Discerning the times, I see the signs appears They're showing me... Young Miss Pretty selling herself Just to keep her habit fed - It never ends So the baby dies instead Compassion torn to pieces by simple truth not believed in The rich man sees the work of his hands And thinks he has arrived The old man walks the streets at night And dies from the cold outside Compassion torn to pieces by simple truth not believed in We'd like to think we've come so far In our own eyes we're covered But to he who sees all we stand naked [Chorus] We stand naked! We stand naked! Naked! We stand naked! Only he can hide our shame It seems that the modern man has come so far from the past All of us here, we're moving along But we're going nowhere fast I'm sure the poor, the sick and the young would all agree If the blind could see Compassion torn to pieces by simple truth not believed in We'd like to think we've come so far In our own eyes we're covered But to he who sees all we stand naked [Chorus 2] We stand naked! Naked! We stand naked! Naked! We stand naked! We stand naked!

[Locution] Every day in America, there are senseless murders. Of these, a high percentage are committed by repeat offenders. These killers are convicted for their crimes and later released to once again commit their acts upon innocent men, women and children. This song was written, not to encourage, not to condemn, but simply to depict this hideous injustice In and around the city the darkness sets in Beneath the neon spotlights, I see her again I stalk from afar, beyond sight, it's part of the game Though this one looks different somehow To me they're the same - same! [Chorus] I'm O.K., I'm alright, I've gotta keep it together tonight 'Cause my heart tells me no but my head finds a reason My hate rules my soul and my hands Can't resist the innocent kill Possessed by the world that made me, the hunt has begun Before I can fight what drives, it's over and done The flashing of light revives me and they think it's the end But they must release me someday And I'll find her again and again [Chorus] I'm O.K., I'm alright, I've gotta keep it together tonight But my heart tells me no but my head finds a reason My hate rules my soul and my hands Can't resist the innocent kill - and I so I kill! [Chorus] I'm O.K., I'm alright, I've gotta keep it together tonight But my heart tells me no but my head finds a reason My hate rules my soul and my hands Can't resist the innocent kill - and I so I kill! - I kill!

We can't explain or find a good reason to excuse The things we've done We've shown then all that we don't walk our talk But if we knew exactly where to stand It lies with those led by his hand Though we remember where we came from We haven't been there for a while Now we don't turn the other cheek Let alone walk another miles Can we pretend that we've escaped the eyes Will we deny or realize [Chorus] To stand and dare to break the silence Ignites the flame for all the world to see We'll stand and dare to break the silence No turning back from what we believe But if we knew exactly where to stand It lies with those led by his hand [Chorus] So learn to stand and dare to break the silence Ignites the flame for all the world to see We'll stand and dare to break the silence No turning back from what we believe

When the warming sun of summer Leaves a trace of memories across the sky And the freezing chill of winter Shows me just how much I need you by my side I'll bring you flowers in the spring (Flowers in the spring) Their blooms will bare the scent of what the future brings [Chorus] And when the fire is all over It's no reflection of the way I feel inside For my love burns on forever Through the seasons of our lives When the autumn leaves around us Help us relive precious moments from our youth And the rain falls free forever and like the sun Our love eventually shines through I'll bring you flowers in the spring (Flowers in the spring) Their blooms will bare the scent of what the future brings [Chorus] And when the fire is all over (When the fire is all gone) It's no reflection of the way I feel inside For my love burns on forever (For my love burns on and on) Through the seasons of our lives (Seasons of our lives) (Seasons of our lives) The seasons of our lives Seasons change, time slips through our fingers And still our love burns on forever and ever [Chorus] And when the fire is all over It's no reflection of the way I feel inside For my love burns on forever And when the fire is all over (When the fire is all gone) It's no reflection of the way I feel inside (The seasons of our lives) For my love burns on forever (For my love burns on and on) Through the seasons of our lives (Seasons of our lives) (Seasons of our lives)

Another tossed and turbulent time recovering from a tailspin I won't hold back the tears from my eyes because I failed you - I failed you! With my heart I long to serve you But my mind leads me away And with my life I just want to love you While my flesh gets in the way [Pre-chorus] (There's so many ways you can go) As far as the eye can see (The voices are calling to you) Calling out to me (The truth may be lost in the crowd) One thing you don't know (He has forsaken you now) He said he would never go [Chorus] I'll follow the leader, you know I will follow You're leading me home Making my way through this rugged terrain I hold tight to the promise Though many times I'm beat to the ground I'll never leave you - never leave you! So many times I don't understand But the answers come in time When my heart's overwhelmed with evil Your love can change my mind [Pre-chorus] (There's so many ways you can go) As far as the eye can see (The voices are calling to you) Calling out to me (The truth may be lost in the crowd) One thing you don't know (He has forsaken you now) He said he would never go [Chorus] I'll follow the leader, you know I will follow You're leading me home [Pre-chorus] (There's so many ways you can go) As far as the eye can see (The voices are calling to you) Calling out to me (The truth may be lost in the crowd) One thing you don't know (He has forsaken you now) He said he would never go Wherever you lead me I know that I must go and follow Wherever you lead me I know that I must go and follow Wherever you lead me I know that I must go and follow Wherever you lead me

I see it's coming to you man, well you're a lot like me Well, everybody knows you can't see where the wind blows But some things are easy to see Like all the Kings, they walk the earth With their broken crowns A fine young man like you can turn this thing around [Chorus] Reigning, they're parading with their broken crowns Blaming, never saving, they will be put down I see the light shining through man, that didn't hurt at all Well, everybody sees money doesn't grow on trees But for the right price, they will fall All the Kings, they walk the earth With their broken crowns A fine young man like you can turn this thing around What do you say to these things man? I think I've made myself pretty clear! With everyone you meet You just keep on planting those seeds And most of all, know who to fear! All the Kings, they walk the earth With their broken crowns A fine young man like you can turn this thing around [Chorus] Reigning, they're parading with their broken crowns Blaming, never saving, they will be put down Let's bring it down - are you listening - check this out! So many others around about your age, well, they're playing around and they're on the town and they're losing the game. They play with madness and the things that kill the head. Then they're carrying 'round this ball and chain and they wish they were dead - and a lot succeed! You know it's a sad boy, so listen up! People all together, they're flowing downstream. You gotta fight the tide to find the truth - do you see what I mean? [Chorus] Reigning, they're parading with their broken crowns Blaming, never saving, they will be put down Reigning, they're parading with their broken crowns Do you hear what I'm saying! Blaming, never saving, they will be put down
