Liberation

One by one The answers come Rung by rung Toward the sun Fire on the mountain-top And blood in the snow Chased from his ancient home The white crane has flown They've come fro your livestock And the've come for your land They've come to chop your forests With the labor of your hands A land in isolation On the roof of the world A pawn in the greater game Wrenched into the modern age By the bullet and the blade New roads and new factories Such progress you have made Line by line The poets rhyme In a quiet mind The light will shine There's no surrender in my heart There's no surrender in my song There's no surrender in my faith There's no surrender Flowers on the Lhasa Road Flowers on the Lhasa Road Flowers on the Lhasa Road Flowers on the Lhasa Road They've taken all your wise men They have made you kill your own They came to liberate you From your families and your homes They've forbidden your religion They have levelled your shrines Through re-education They have cleansed your brainwashed minds We most favored nations We partners in crime To the mighty go the spoils And so it has always been And so shall it be Another culture is conquered In the name of liberty Brutal are the means of oppression Power grows from the mouth of a gun The flower bows its head in the darkness Bathed in the light of compassion The dawn will come Say a prayer for the dead and the tortured Raise your voice for the raped and the wronged The spirit lives though the flesh may be broken There is no surrender when all you believe lives on There's no surrender in my heart There's no surrender in my song There's no surrender in my faith There's no surrender Flowers on the Lhasa Road Flowers on the Lhasa Road Flowers on the Lhasa Road Flowers on the Lhasa Road We'll grow flowers on the Lhasa Road... Toll the bell Beat the drum so the people will know Your prison walls cannot kill the light Through the cracks the flowers still grow There's no surrender There's no surrender There's no surrender There's no surrender...

I haven't found a way I toil in solitude The shadows that follows me Have granted me this fleeting time I walk along the crumbling halls Through the dust the ages whispering They speak the woeful tale Of the dragon and the weary dove When the truth is a lie And when the silent ask why Yet again the martyrs must die Mixing their tears with the blood of ages The dragon breathes his savage fire And burns away the dream of Paradise The ashes pollute the land And settle in discouraged hearts The dove has heard the mournful sounds Still through the din he pleads That in the face of hate you lay your weapons down But he asks so high a price So raise your flag up on high For the cause of your colors you'll die One life's but a sigh On the wind Left, right, left, right... History a tide Flowing with force Violence generates violence And the river ruins its course When the truth is a lie And when the silent ask why Yet again the martyrs must die Drowning their dreams in the blood of ages When the truth is a lie And when the silent ask why Yet again the martyrs must die Staining the earth with the blood of ages If you feel that your anger makes you string Let it swell and you'll hear the siren's song You will serve your master well On your rage the dragon will thrive Cleansing your pain in the blood of ages

Mortal coil Bounds of being Vipers hiss through the twisting vine Runes like scars on the rock of reason Letters of a lost design If you want to live a thousand years It all depends on what you leave behind Images that life and flicker Slick and shallow Laugh and scream and cry Fabricated, our idols falter Leave us looking toward the sky If you want to live a thousand years It all depends on what you leave behind As a child love may rain on you But as a man the thirst can bleed you... Ride the wind around the world Behold the works of man The joy, the sorrow and the glory The powers of life inflected through The novice human hand All reflect a part of you The "righteous" and the "damned" Beggar or King It doesn't matter who you are Your sacrifices make your dreams survive Hero or Fool It doesn't matter who you are For those you touch will keep your heart alive If you want to live a thousand years It all depends on what you leave behind And though your eyes may cry a thousand tears It's just a ripple on the sea of time

When you're ready There are oceans you must cross You won't mourn the time you've lost Anymore When you're ready You will reach the shore And I'll be there When you're ready You will make another start For the path was in your heart All along When you're ready You will find your song If you believe Then I will meet you there We'll watch our darkest demons Turn to roses in the air I believe in you When you're ready You will sail your ship away You will find a better day And survive When you're ready You will come alive If you believe Then I will meet you there We'll watch our darkest demons Turn to roses in the air But how can we know Just where our lives will go They say salvation lies A long way down the middle road But I believe in you Follow me down to magical ground Follow me down to magical ground Follow me down to magical ground Follow me down Follow me down to magical ground Follow me down to magical ground Follow me down to magical ground Follow me down Do you believe Then I will meet you there We'll watch our darkest demons Turn to roses in the air All of the roads That led me far from you I know you tried to help me But I couldn't see the truth Now I believe in you I had a dream Skies of blue, fields of green To a heaven on earth I was borne A long-fabled land Where I laid in the sand And drank from the purifying horn I lingered long On the isle of Avalon And dined on the apples that fell I slept like a babe in the arms of the dawn And arose feeling rested and well When you're ready You will feel the healing breeze And your mind will find some ease For a while When you're ready I'm gonna see you smile If you believe Then I will meet you there We'll watch our darkest demons Turn to roses in the air When you can hear The silence in your mind Your souls will fill with peace And your will leave the noise behind And I believe in you Follow me down to magical ground Follow me down to magical ground Follow me down to magical ground Follow me down Follow me down to magical ground Follow me down to magical ground Follow me down to magical ground Follow me down to magical ground

Sweet surrender I should have lit a candle for you I was on the edge But your spirit set me free How great is this find Now that I've seen your secret I close my eyes And let the winds just carry me Here we are Face to face As the mirror cracks in two again Hear the lightning See the thunder What's the world become I'm falling down A name carved in weathered stone That guardian the great unknown This is his home Sworn to serve the grand design He stands in defense before the arch of time Battle scars have claimed my skin I'm scrolling through the pages of my memory A name carved in weathered stone That guardian the great unknown This is his home Sworn to serve the grand design High on the hill, he watches us still Knight for knight we challenged the horde And they carried our king away Through the mouth of time He stands in defense before the passageway I dream hat the moon and the stars Fill an ocean And I feel so alive In the forest the echoes are screaming Calling me home Caught in the play There is no release So, who will your character be In the game of your life? Make it a masterpiece Morning cries And yields to greet the day Silver grey Come forth my friend and you might see A different reality It all depends what you believe Battle scars have claimed my skin I'm scrolling through the pages of my memory A name carved in weathered stone That guardian the great unknown It is my own Sworn to serve the grand design He stands in defense before the arch of time

He roams unfettered Through the caverns of your mind He's borrowed deep inside your soul He knows your keenest pain And preys upon your weakness He is the myth that makes you whole He is the wolf When you stumble he will catch you He'll strip away Your standing and your state Leave you naked in the night Where there is no hope of shelter He licks his bitter wounds And readies for the hunt His way is primitive and mean Pure instinct drives him on He can feel your purpose falter He is the doubt that taints your dreams He is the wolf When you stumble he will catch you He'll tear away Your foundation and your faith Leave you naked in the night Where there is no hope of shelter He is the wolf And he knows just what you're hiding Fierce in his blood Runs the sea from whence we came Hear him crying in the dark Take his presence a warning He makes his home the conscious veil And from your distant past You know his desperate wail He hates technology Conceit of modern man We cannot bridle nature's power Our Great Society the target of his vengeance When he attacks you'll hear him howl You'll hear him howl He is the wolf He need his only master He prowls alone Through the shadows of desire He is a rogue Left behind by fearful brothers He is the wolf When you stumble he will catch you He'll strip away Your power and your pride Now he's hot upon your heels As he pounces hear him howl

The storm had come and gone And rubble lined the broken streets I woke in shame to see The ruins laying at my feet I gave my all to build This castle in the thinning air Always knowing the foundation Was beyond repair But I always loved you You know that I loved you But love isn't always enough A ghost I remain With memories that haunt me Some of us are better off alone One takes the poison One takes the prize Distant we orphaned dreamers None more the wise Some take a bullet Some ride the bull Some never learn to handle The push and the pull In time, they say, we all move on We learn to sing a brand new song And now you're gone But I'm still here Still here Still here Do you ever think of me As we tumble through the spinning years 'Cause I remember you With longing through the chocking tears I swallow hard upon The pill of grief and sharp regret I gave my youth away To doubts I haven't conquered yet This is the day of liberation This is the moment when the barriers fall Now is the time for affirmation To grab the reins and heed the trumpet-call On my way I'm on my way Sometimes we all get tired of being alone One takes the poison One takes the prize Distant we orphaned dreamers None more the wise I always loved you God knows how I loved you But love it seems in never enough Now all my dreams Are crumbling around me And none of us are better off alone One takes the poison One takes the prize Distant we orphaned dreamers None more the wise One in the graveyard One in the grave "Here lies the troubled spirit None of us could save" In time, they say, we all move on We learn to sing a brand new song And now you're gone But I'm still here Still here Still here
