A Change of Seasons
I remember a time My frail, virgin mind Watched the crimson sunrise Imagined what it might find Life was filled with wonder I felt the warm wind blow I must explore the boundaries Transcend the depth of winter's snow Innocence caressing me I never felt so young before There was so much life in me Still I longed to search for more But those days are gone now Changed like a leaf on a tree Blown away forever Into the cool autumn breeze The snow has now fallen And my sun's not so bright I struggle to hold on With the last of my might In my den of iniquity Viciousness and subtlety Struggle to ease the pain Struggle to find the same Ignorance surrounding me I've never been so filled with fear All my life's been drained from me The end is drawing near [ III. Carpe Diem 06:54-10:08 ] "Carpe diem Seize the day" I'll always remember The chill of November The news of the fall, the sounds in the hall The clock on the wall ticking away "Seize the Day," I heard him say "Life will not always be this way Look around, hear the sounds Cherish your life while you're still around" "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today Tomorrow will be dying" We can learn from the past But those days are gone We can hope for the future But there may not be one The words stuck in my mind Alive from what I've learned I have to seize the day To home I returned Preparing for her flight I held with all my might Fearing my deepest fright She walked into the night She turned for one last look She looked me in the eye I said, "I Love You" "Goodbye" "It's the most awful thing you'll ever hear; Your mom... who you dearly love... Has had to leave... all our lives" "Seize the day!" "Something happened" "Gather ye rosebuds while ye may" "She was killed" So far or so it seems All is lost with nothing fulfilled Off the pages and the T.V. screen Another world where nothing's true Tripping through the life fantastic Lose a step and never get up Left alone with a cold blank stare I feel like giving up I was blinded by a paradise Utopia high in the sky A dream that only drowned me Deep in sorrow, wondering why Oh, come let us adore him Abuse and then ignore him No matter what, don't let him be, let's feed upon his misery Then string him up for all the world to see I'm sick of all you hypocrites holding me at bay And I don't need your sympathy to get me through the day Seasons change and so can I, hold on, boy, no time to cry Untie these strings, I'm climbing down, I won't let them push me away Oh, come let us adore him Abuse and then ignore him No matter what, don't let him be, let's feed upon his misery Now it's time for them, to deal with me I'm much wiser now, a lifetime of memories Run through my head They taught me how For better or worse, alive or dead I realize there's no turning back Life goes on the offbeaten track I sit down with my son, set to see the Crimson Sunset (Gather ye rosebuds while ye may) Many years have come and gone, I've lived my life, but now must move on (Gather ye rosebuds while ye may) He's my only one, now that my time has come Now that my life is done, we look into the sun "Seize the day and don't you cry, now it's time to say goodbye Even though I'll be gone, I will live on Live on!"

The roses in the window box Have tilted to one side Everything about this house Is gonna grow and die Oh it doesn't seem a year ago to this very day You said I'm sorry honey If I don't change the pace I can't face another day And love lies bleeding in my hand Oh it kills me to think of you with another man I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan But my guitar couldn't hold you so I split the band Love lies bleeding in my hands I wonder if those changes Have left a scar on you Like all the burning hoops of fire That you and I passed through You're a bluebird on a telegraph line I hope you're happy now While if the wind of change comes down your way girl You'll make it back somehow And love lies bleeding in my hand Oh it kills me to think of you with another man I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan But my guitar couldn't hold you so I split the band Love lies bleeding in my hands And love lies bleeding in my hand Oh it kills me to think of you with another man I was playing rock and roll and you were just a fan But my guitar couldn't hold you so I split the band Love lies bleeding in my hands Ooh oh Ooh Oh oh oh oh ooh Love lies bleeding in my hands Oh Oh oh

Can you remember Remember my name? As I flow through your life A thousand oceans I have flown Ooooh and cold Cold spirits of ice, ice All my life I am the echo of your past I am returning The echo of a point in time In distant faces shine A thousand warriors I have known Ooooh and laughing As the spirits appear Ooooh all your life Shadows of another day And if you hear me talking on the wind You've got to understand We must remain Perfect strangers Oooooh ooh I know I must remain inside this silent well of sorrow Oh A strand of silver Hanging through the sky Touching more than you see The voice of ages in your mind Ooooh is aching With the dead of the night Precious life Your tears are lost in falling rain And if you hear me talking on the wind You've got to understand We must remain Perfect strangers Ooh ooh

I. The Rover II. Achilles Last Stand It was an April morning When they told us we should go And as I turn to you you smiled at me How could we say no? With all the fun to have To live the dreams we always had Woah the songs to sing When we at last return again yeah Oh Oh Sending off a glancing kiss To those who claim they know To know the streets the seaman hears The devil in his hole Oh to sail away To sandy lands and other days Oh to touch the dream Hides inside and never seen, yeah Oh Ooh Into the sun the south the north Lies the first of hope Shackles of commitment fell In pieces on the ground Oh to ride the wind To tread the air above the din Oh to laugh aloud Dancing as we fought the crowd yeah Oh oooh To seek the man whose pointing hand The giant step unfolds With guidance from the curving path That churns up into stone If one bell should ring In celebration for a king So fast the heart should beat As proud the head with heavy feet, yeah Ooooh Oh III. The Song Remains The Same Oh, yeah Oh, yeah Here we go Wanted to know, oh oh Sing out Hare, Hare, oh Dance the Hoochie Koo The city lights Oh so bright As we go sliding Sliding, sliding, sliding Through Oooh All right
