You say you'll love me forever / You got my heart in your hands every day You say "you've got to get it together / And make me part of your plans, take me away" You say that you'll love me forever / But then you call it a day You take my heart away You're a woman of the world / You're a cold hearted girl Dime-a-dozen, imitation, mother-of-pearl / Cold hearted girl You say you've got no other / You tell me I'm your man every day But you're a two-timin' lover / And now I gotta make plans, I gotta get away

I have seen the Wizard, and he's told me of his plan He wanders through the darkness, gathering the damned He strips you of your soul and then he throws you in the fire When he finds you, he will force you to make love with all the liars I have seen the Wizard, I have seen the Man I have seen his magic, catch them, if you can I have seen the magic of his mountain in the sky Lords and demons disappear there, right before your eyes Lies are true, and truth? It lies! You wonder, what is true? Confusion shreds your soul, now look what has become of you I've seen the Man, he sits there, high above the clouds He's crying for the loss of all his children in the crowd He's praying for your soul, he'll love you 'till the end of time Praising you, your glories - forgiving you, your crimes Yes, He's an old Man / His hands are filled with time Time and time / Time and time, we'll see the end I have seen the fires of hell, I have seen the dead I have seen the Wizard deny everything he's said I have seen the gates of Zion, I have seen the Man I have seen His people die, they never understand

Evil-eyed woman, you're doing it again / The way you look and the way you feel could capture any man Make your magic potion, baby, fill it to the brim / Like a fool for your emptiness, I'll fall for you again It's not the first time that I've felt this way for you / So many times, I've been hurt before, I can't help feeling used But I will survive / I'll come out alive I've learned a lot since the last time, baby / Can't take no more lies You can push, but you can't take my life I'll get out like the other times / I will survive Evil-eyed woman, I know what's on your mind / It's easy to see what you want from me, you'll probably get it if you try There's a fire burnin' deep within your eyes / You're just usin' me to entertain, and to keep you satisfied Will it ever matter that you're killin' me inside? / Will you ever realise that my heart is gonna die? All I wanted / was to love you / All I needed / was to hold you Evil-eyed woman, If you want me for a while, you've gotta change all your evil ways, you've gotta tell me with a smile But I think I know you better than to expect a change in you Maybe you'll fake it for a little while, but you'll end up being cruel I know you'll leave me, it's just a matter of time / I was a fool to ever think you'd stay and to think that you were mine

You were a good man / You knew the way Born of the one Man / King for the day I know where you will go when we have seen the end And I will follow you, my friend Take me! To the Kingdom Take me! Take me away To the Kingdom Goin' to Paradise / Today is the day Say the Last Rites / Take me away!

Eleanor Rigby picks up the rice in a church where a wedding has been Lives in a dream Waits by the window, wearing a face that she keeps in a jar by the door Who is it for? All the lonely people / Where do they all come from? All the lonely people / Where do they all belong? Father Mckenzie, writing the words to a sermon that no one will hear No one comes near Look at him working, darning his socks in the night while there's nobody there What does he care? Eleanor Rigby died in the church and was buried, along with her name Nobody came Father Mckenzie, wiping the dirt from his hands as he walks from the grave No one was saved

Shot down in cold blood / Cold blood in the rain Bullets of anger, bullets of pain Killed without reason / Waste without cause Now is the season, the season of loss Welcome the darkness / Welcome the night Pray for your soul / Pray the Last Rites Murdered for ransom of vengance and hate Dreams to fulfill, but now it's too late Sirens and madness / Confusion and fear The past is forgotten, the future is clear... There's a place, not far from here, where the dead sing out in fear Take my hand, I'll lead the way / Hell has time for those who stray Now it's time for you to know / 'Cause you've got nothing, not a reason left to show Choose your path o'er yonder hill, you know the one Live in darkness all your life / Never see the Son Pray for your Last Rites

When the walls of the castle come down and the King is nowhere in sight Take command of the soldiers and be their new leader for the rest of the night The fortune is there, it's hidden in the dungeon, take what you find Of the riches, and the knowledge, and the freedom, and leave the rest there, behind As the battle for your kingdom rages on and on, watch your men as they die And the slaughter of your people subsides, for there's no one left alive When the smoke blows away and there's nothing left to say, the dead will arise And assassinate their leader, who turned and ran away, for leaving them to die In the palace, on the street, hidden in everyone you meet Is a hatred or a love, fighting for the domination of the other's defeat If the hatred wins, the people kill each other in despair And the essence of the blood of the battle seeps out and fills the air If the love wins, the hatred conquered, fleeing in exile And the children run free, for everyone to see, they're pleased for a while Everybody's sayin' that the way to get to heaven is to be a good boy, now But the way to get to heaven is a path that's been faded since the day you were born
