Ceremonial

Streets full of fire, People conspire Mechanical thunder roars The whole world is waiting, Anticipating Safely behind closed doors And now we're looking at the faces of evil Defined by ignorance and governed lands Along the road side there's just death and destruction Blood on their hands It's all lost, It's all shame, It's not right It's a Land of Confusion... Lost (Pray for them), Damned (Take it back again) Turning the pages to the end All of the reasons, followed by treason Held under lock and key Force and resistance, widening the distance Between brothers and mothers and friends Across the border there is chaos and anger We're finding comfort in our prophecy Are we all saviours in this ongoing story? Who's "soul to keep"? It's all lost, It's all shame, It's not right It's a Land of Confusion... Lost (Pray for them), Damned (Take it back again) Turning the pages, going throughout the ages once again You know you've never even been there You only know what you've been shown Making decisions based on nothing Nobody's thinking on their own Oohh there is so much at stake There are millions of lives and they all have to cry out in pain Out in the open we must fight for their freedom And we can win, there is no sacrifice Our disapproval will be known and impelling Worlds must collide

A minute here, a minute there is all it's got to take Another bus, you gonna miss, there's nothing left at stake The price is high, results are low when you push it all aside Then the guilt returns and clutters up in your mind The voice is always calling, a haunting in your ears Everyday reminding you: All those wasted years But you don't need to listen, deny your darkest fears And one day time will make up for all those wasted years The clock it ticks, around the hour You're always so aware And when the light fades to black All you do is sit and stare The TV screen is your best friend cuz it Takes your thoughts away And the late night host is looking older again Wait for the signs and wait for the call - Wait for the call Wait for the moment before the fall - Tells us all This world is spinning round and twisting your mind It's spinning round and twisting round It's spinning round and twisting in my mind Life itself is so surreal, could it all have gone so wrong? And every morning you raise your head to find Now is a new day dawning Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh Are you waiting for a saviour? All those wasted years

So here I am inside My-Space There's not a soul around, no embrace I lurk alone behind the screen Nobodies waiting for me And it would be my fantasy If I could show my vanity So there's a new world here for me And I feel so special, gotta feel so special Who is Peter, who is Paul, read their writing on the wall Because they're special, gotta feel so special Do I like it? I don't know How about this sloppy Joe? Yeah! I shift the darkness into light, Turning it on again, feel so right No I don't need no privacy Who could be spying on me? There's just so much that one can show with just a picture from long ago Don't want to be just some "John Doe" And I feel so special, gotta feel so special Look at where I am today, got my dinner on display And I'm so special, gotta feel so special Take a look at my new phone in the bathroom all alone Because I'm special, and I'm bifacial And I am so sensational And I feel so special, gotta feel so special There is so much on my mind with a meaning undefined And I'm so special, gotta feel so special Here's a picture of my friend getting sick on me again Because I'm special, I ain't no rebel Do you think that's special? Because I'm special, so sensational Do you think that's special?

Just like a photograph we hold the World in our hands and it Seems like a memory but all is coming Back to me and you Hear voices in your head, you can't Remember what's been said but if It can change wrong to right Then we can turn the dark to light So We shouldn't have to walk the lonely road And we shouldn't have to sacrifice We shouldn't have to lie and make believe I believe it's time to find our soul Before we lost control we had time To set our goal and if We must win then some will lose And it's not just a choice we choose When we Take chances, fall from grace, we're So damn busy just saving face that it's Such a shame what we've become, and To those fears we have to succumb so It's just another lesson learned - Oh yeah But it will - never break you And nothing can take you down Hide what you're looking for Hide what you're looking for Show no fear Cuz I know something's breaking You, oh Yes I know something's taking you, Making you, honey In not too long they'll be faking you, I believe, I believe, I believe, we have to Find your soul

Move on if just can't take it, If only a little while Cuz there's still time to work things out Breath in and relax your temper, Collect all your thoughts and tell me Before you start to scream and shout Everyday there's always something wrong Deep inside you there's another raging storm And I feel the way you're suffering But I know the pain will ever end Though is hard to keep the demons locked away You'll keep going on, like it or not And you'll learn to livewith what you've got And the scars will heal and you know so will your pride Move on pull yourself together now, Stop to living another lie Your world is battered but not torn You long for another life, another place To hide from your shame and the disgrace But I've been in those shoes you've worn Rolling with the tide Breakout and get away from that rusty cage If you want to be free then it's time for you to disengage And I feel the way you're suffering But I know the pain will ever end Though is hard to keep the demons locked up They'll always follow you around Oh, follow you around... It's just another calling Scars will heal as will your pride Oh it won't be long now Scars will heal as will your pride Rolling with the tide

Like the sun turns the night to day We became what the seasons made There will be evolution - in time But you won’t hear what I've got to say The voodoo man soon will guide the way With all the secrets and mysteries he portrayed. Keep the wonders in your mind The tales of yore are hard to find What’s the message you’ve been told Of a world beyond the places that surround you now? Dust and bones on a mounds of stone Risen up from the great unknown And it’s so hard to believe that it was pure will And all these fables just tell the half I can't smile but I've gotta laugh Fear has been a patron of the un-wise Keep the wonders in your mind The tales of yore are hard to find Keep the message you’ve been told In a place beyond the logic and the reason. Looking back, enchanting times We struggle to become what we are now Like a storm will take its toll Let the thunder, let the thunder roll. Want to fly, then spread your wings Before the winds just pass you by again There’s so much beyond control So let the thunder, let the thunder roll. It’s a long road to walk alone So many ways are uncharted So just open yourself to Common sense and contradiction

Jerry was so young and shy he could lie So he did not try oh yeah People all around his space laughed at him At his disgrace oh yeah When at school the teacher cried wipe that smile Right of your ugly face How could she know? You chose right from wrong Much too late for a different song Took his rage and ran inside Is this his fate? Could have been a different way Stop their laughter every day You chose right from wrong It’s much too late for another song Who's right or wrong? Just a story in my mind, it happens every day in life, oh my Then sometimes it could be you, maybe you’ll know just what to do Monday morning went to school, and wipe the smile right off his teacher’s face, What a disgrace, so now he’s running away yeah His chance is gone Who's right or wrong? Damned if I know!

How many times did you wait for things to happen? How many times would your patience dry? I draw you a line, but you can’t pull yourself There’s just too much commotion, but it’s nothing going on. Gotta be hot, gotta be strong, Gotta be all and more to get along, The world is just a passage of time. Though it feels good, though it feels right, Keeping the faith to guide you through the night. This world is just a passage of time. Looking out at the stars to the vast mass of anchors You wanna believe there’s so much more to see. Going out of your way of the unknown nothing But there are still consequences and there are to realize. Gotta be hot, gotta be strong, Gotta be all and more to get along, The world is just a passage of time. Though it feels good, though it feels right, Keeping the faith to guide you through the night. This world is just a passage I wanna betray you, I wanna dismay you, Is it all just a lie? I cannot convince you, All that you do or don’t do Will lead you to the passage, Leaving the ignorance behind. Time for dreaming, time for breathing, Time for laughing on your pot of gold. Time for silence, time for anger, Time for leaving before the storm is torn. Gotta be hot, gotta be strong, Gotta be all and more to get along, The world is just a passage of time. Though it feels good, though it feels right, Keeping the faith to guide you through the night. This world is just a passage of time. Keep dreaming, believing Keep dreaming… How many times you wait for things to happen? How many times your patience dries?

Hey, what's that sound? Stopped me in my tracks, gotta look around Hey, what's that name? Drawn toward the lights like a moth to the flame Spent a little time in London And I spent a little time in Rome I've got to make my way to Tokyo But I'll never get back home Against the odds, I’ve challenged gods My presence has been known If you gonna hate, appreciate, Cuz they all know that I Came to rock, I won’t ever stop Don’t care if it’s right or wrong at all I came to rock, I won’t ever stop. It’s my life, it’s all I need Ain’t nobody gonna tell me how Or when or where or what I gotta do. Jim, he had his Mr. Mojo risin' With a bit of Jimmy's purple haze They're all jamming up above with Bonham while I’m down here saying grace. No ain't nobody ever gonna tell me what to do This is the blood that’s running through my veins, Keeps me alive and it keeps me sane. It’s my life, it’s a dream I’m chasing. I’ll never get another chance like this Sometimes I hit it and sometimes I miss, Now I can hear a million voices calling Everybodies pushing cuz they know I came to rock, don't wanna stop It's our life it's all we need Ain't nobody ever gonna tell us how No ain't nobody ever gonna tell me - what to do

It's a world deep inside of me Many places you will never see. Always hide the secrets in my life, It's something abandoned deep within my pride. Somewhere out in the darkness stays a life How many years you've liked to see You know I'll be there with or without you And be king for one more day. Kept the dream alive and if we survive Is the fullest prize to pay. King for a day. There were days I felt you on my skin You keep on touching, but you found out that I'm alive But I feel alone, there's a part of me that's just been hurt and thrown. I'll be gone when the morning comes And there's nothing left to see You know I'll be there with or without you And be king for one more day. Kept the dream alive and if we survive Is the fullest prize to pay. And maybe I'll still be king for a day. Are we got with the morning comes a day. When it's nothing left to say. You know I'll be there with or without you And be king for one more day. Kept the dream alive and if we survive Is the fullest prize to pay. And maybe I'll still be king for one more day. I'll be there with or without you. I'll be there with or without you. I'll be there, I'll bet there, I'll be there.

I’ve been a drifter for most of my life Living and loving the edge of the knife Trying my best to make everything right Searching for answers that lead me to light Now I’ve been a fool, run from my own noose Everything’s easy when nothing’s to choose Yes I’ve been a saint and followed my pride All of the angels were there at my side You can call me a tramp, call me a liar But you know it’s part of the plan. So get out of my way, I got nothing to say Cuz I ain’t no superman. So many memories of wine and song So recognised but it’s taken so long Driven by hunger but guided by fate All of the answers I found out too late But everything’s cool, everything fine Cuz I got my stories and I've got my wine I won't be a tool of a lost density All of my angels will come back to me. When you're out saving face I’ll be out on the case And I’m proud to be part of the clan. And I keep my head low cause I want you to know That I ain’t no superman. Oohh, ain't superman Oohh, ain't superman Find my way
