Music: Gary Wehrkamp and Brendt Allman Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: Carl Cadden-James [HANG ON] There I was I was hanging around Two fingers down, one to go Then suddenly from below she emerges Sultry, swingin' from a rope "You've got something I need, so just give me your hand" Trust is something that I just got to give into My black widow or friend? Well? In the blink of an eye, systems deploy and we are off, baby, off on the run Bullets raining on down Wind driven snow, here we go Amidst the fury, I was clinging onto her as our tether slid down the cliff She wouldn't answer, pressed a poison tip dagger to the base of my neck "How 'bout we strike a deal? All your secrets for your life" She was good and she was getting better Might just hafta hang on for a while Fighter planes start to dive A barrage of gunfire rips through the snow Snipers bearing on down She turns to me, but we're not lost We're just going with the flow of another busy day Hey baby, welcome to my crystal palace So just what did you expect? I turned in time to see the avalanche start A freight train right at my head [THE CRUSHER - Instrumental]

Music: Gary Wehrkamp Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: Carl Cadden-James Picture home years ago and tell me it's you Of all the roads a man could take, how mine has lead form you And like a lighthouse set on a rocky coast amidst the storm, your touch was warm and real Looking out your window, just what might lie ahead Your dreams still blow in the wind And here we are, memories run deeper and true I'll always take you with me when I freefall Freefall - And the whole world goes to sleep As a child, the grand expanse the future must hold Days to night waves washing over and over And over your experience you lived each day like it's your last Oh, we never know how it goes Oh, we never know And I won't leave you Don't leave me But then again, just who can stop the falling over? Fall into the mystery predestination brings You wrote your epitaph with every move Through your love, through your love

Music: Gary Wehrkamp Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: Mike Baker, Gary Wehrkamp Out of the blue, everything seemed so new The sun rising lights up my face Fading from green, no more thoughts to deceive For seasons of lost hope may change So many different colors The colors are changing Moments in time when the words didn't rhyme Unsure what the future would hold As days turned to nights, I chased rainbows of light No magical fountain of gold So many different colors The colors keep changing So many different ways to look at things I turn around, I'm upside down again Nothing ever changes It's my point of view that I can't lose The skies fiery red, I will journey ahead to show you how far I have flown New day in my life flashing hope by design I've finally found my way home So many different colors Now my world is slowly changing So many different ways to look at things You've fallen down, you gotta get back up again So many different shades of everything Now I see with open eyes a brighter world within The skies forever changing That's the point of view I just can't lose This newborn wisdom guides me through Feel the cool winds of heaven in the blue of your eyes Dreams of you and I together A love we cannot deny Feel the tide of the ocean and the warmth of the sky Passion breathes with emotion We will soar with wings on high So many different ways to look at things We've fallen down, we gotta get back up again So many different ways the colors change Every time I turn around, we're hanging on the edge Our skies forever changing That's the point of view I give to you I know that time will see us through I hope the colors soon find you

Music: Brendt Allman, Gary Wehrkamp Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: Carl Cadden-James Brand new day somewhere so far away A global village awakes and starts to crack the open airways ‘Cause the tiger's escaped, he tore right out of his cage And like a spark to a flame, assimilating its collective on the way Like turning on a light, the brain's online tonight All around the world That freedom in the air, Big Brother is aware Or within my dreams? And do you think it dreams of life? Are we the air it needs? Are we the air this beast needs to breathe? The engine's tuned and clean, time for man and machine to join society of the mind School today, a sea of seething rage And on the menu in the lunchroom we got Ritalin and Prozac So I can concentrate on my next level in Quake where I can shoot them, I can kill them, and dehumanize the cancer in my veins Online you gotta sell, you’re virtual as hell All around the world That freedom in the air, Big Brother is aware Or within my dreams? And do you think it needs your soul once you’re inside its mind? Once you’re inside the mind of the world The code is running lean, time for man and machine to join society of the mind Are you waiting for the strike? New religion overload Like turning on a light, the brain's online tonight All around the world That freedom in the air, Big Brother is aware Or within my dreams? And do you think it dreams of life? Are we the air it needs? Are we the air this beast needs to breathe? There's lightning on the screen, now watch: man and machine will join society of the mind

Music: Gary Wehrkamp Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: Carl Cadden-James Future's here The time has come to pass the torch Now go and touch the sky every time that you breathe I hope you've learned to covet not the evil ways Live your life free – free from carnal lust, hedonistic decadence and lies Are you strong? Turn from heathen ways? Will you ride? Ride with me the open road [CHORUS] Part of me is now part of you My legacy is how I live on The circle formed, we are joined across space and time Many days will pass you by and you'll still hear these words to you Many things to realize The hope I give sustaining you Wear the armor of righteousness each day, then forever in glory we'll remain Will you bend when the hammer falls? Are you steel? Inquisitions search you out [CHORUS 2 x2] Part of me is now part of you My legacy is how I live on The circle formed, we are joined across space and time Part of you is now part of me Our legacy is how we live on Relational bonds, not just wayfaring souls set to fly away

Music: Gary Wehrkamp, Lyrics and Vocal Melodies: Carl Cadden-James, M. Baker, Gary Wehrkamp From the first gray light of the morning I've been gone on my journey towards the stars Will I know when I reach the other side? The earth so blue it's like I'm dreaming Now I'm on my way Tainted shadows fall like rain Through the dark vast weight only silence lingers on The origin of existence lies somewhere far, far beyond I feel unattached tranquility, a hand from the heavens guiding me and wondering where this path will lead In a dream I'm lost and floating through the atmosphere Searching for significance against infinity, eternity I've been taken by the vast and humbled by the weight of what I've seen You know they called for heroes, ‘cause heroes carry on I know the world is fading, so from the first gray light of the morning I've been gone Now I pray for a better life for all the ones I love We search beyond our reach and turn our gaze above I hope that it's the way to fill our basic needs And my sacrifice not vain, and I'll return again The sands will filter through the timeless hourglass as I pass beyond the god of war Distant voices hear them crying out I must seek out new worlds and explore And I know that there just must be a place (We will carry on) where our children can be free from the pain (The human race) It must be somewhere out in space The sands will filter through the timeless hourglass as I pass beyond the god of war Distant voices hear them crying out I must seek out new worlds and explore And I know that there just must be a place It must be somewhere out in space (x2) Silver moonbeams reflect the sun Martian landscapes, worlds beyond I touch down with no trace No sign of life on this place Now I feel a surge of energy The deepest passion burns in me Somewhere there is a world not left to die The stars will shine their light down unto me (Illuminating) The stars will shine their light and I will see Will I find my way? So back to the darkness I fly in search of a hope in the sky I should have known right from the start I won’t return home (The sun I know is growing smaller) It seems so surreal as I go (I drift for days on endless hours) The knowledge of science alone (I fall into the black abyss of night) can't save all the people I know (And what's there to fear now!) that I've left behind The sun I know is growing smaller I drift for days on endless hours No messages are getting through I'm gone The pioneering spirit charges the unknown Accept the consequence of risk I'm all alone here, don't know if I'll return and the fate of life is on my heart I left a dying world behind on my way Oh, where is our oasis in the sky? The future of our race I left a poisoned world behind Now I see there's no heaven bound oasis in the sky Only dreams – dreams – dreams – dreams – dreams I've got no destination Helpless, I drift on The weight of silence how it's eating at my soul And yet I sense a stirring Something so spiritual I wonder if the fate of mankind is in the hands of a higher power calling to us all I left a dying world behind on my way Only God can stop the spiral down to hell The future of our race I left a poisoned world behind Now I see only heaven's the oasis in the sky It's my dream
