In This Life 05:09
In This life She's been kind, and she knows my mind I must admit, I truly miss her sometimes When she slips away, in her own pain I give her faith, for I know she'd do the same * Cos' in this life There are no guarantees of anything And all we have is a little time And by the way, I don't believe I've said it today but You've been on my mind We don't know, where it all goes I still believe, in honesty I have my regrets, but there are other things we need *To survive, in this crazy world of dreams and reality Come what may in this life And by the way, I don't believe I've said it today but, You've been on my mind

Altered Native Don't let your spirit break, Don't let them bring you down. Quietly contemplate, the answer will be found Play with fire, you get burnt Play with hearts and you feel pain These are the lessons we've learnt Some with pride, some with shame The man across the street He looks so far away He seems to drag his feet, He must have lost his way We survive the fall. we continue to grow We are wisest of all,when we say we don't know&#10 Chorus Turn around, look at my face I have already found my place And I have no quarrel with your life So leave mine alone, and we'll be all right Just leave mine alone, and we'll be all right

4. Not Part of the Plan I know the answer is not here I know where it is but I cant get near Too many complicated simple things What's it all supposed to mean I see the sun come up at night It's only there when I close my eyes I'm still afraid to believe That I'm still a slave of my physical needs * Cos' I, I wanna fly I wanna spread my wings, reach out and touch the sky But here, here I am And it will never happen Because I'm still a stranger in this land Not part of the plan So hard to work things out Too many things that are not allowed The craziness never seems to end I tell the demons to go away They can't resist the urge to play Mystical analysis surrounds Temptation, as it comes in leaps and bounds * Cos' I, I wanna fly I wanna spread my wings, reach out and touch the sky But here, here I am And it will never happen Because I'm still a stranger in this land Not part of the plan

Live and Die 04:18
Live and Die An angel came from the Heavens And stood beside me And whispered meaningful things in my ear Beware the devil who's standing right behind you If you're not careful he will conquer your fear * We live and die, The time we have is so precious, We live and die Surrounded by your decisions It's not so easy Sometimes the best things in life are free You go round and round in a circle, It's temporary But it affects you to a certain degree * We live and die, The time we have is so precious, We live and die Not enough, not enough time to understand The meaning of, the promise of the mother land But sometimes, the imagination tries We live and die

Break Away 03:59
Break Away We're caught in the flood We're heading for the river now The river of blood, the river that runs so proud Not all is lost, could be a question of honesty Some kind of moral responsibility To recover the cost These are different times The strong are hard to define The blind lead the blind And the rest they follow behind But the river has changed It's waters are out of control Now all that remains Are the consequences of the flow Chorus Take my hand and we'll walk along the ancient road And understand you shall never, never be told Reach inside and you may find yourself forever changed Break away from these chains, just break away

Labyrnth 05:43
Labyrinth Welcome to the labyrinth, feel the icy cold It's warmer if you stay a while And let yourself unfold Further down the corridor, the nature of the truth Is waiting there to answer, the purpose of your youth Just try to imagine, that everything is gone Will you surrender, or will you just keep going on There are no miracles, there is no god Just a few memories of something we forgot Chorus So don't cry, I'll tell you why Everything takes control and leaves you blind It's dark as night, you no longer want to fight It's a sign; you're growing old That's all right, just don't get cold Now every-thing's beautiful and you feel no fear But do you remember, the reasons why you're here A hundred thousand miles, and you still don't know You've traveled such a long way There's still so far to go

Satu Suara 05:36
I Believe it's mine I had a dream there was no dirt in the river And everyday the sky was so blue And when I would breathe it was the purest of air And every seed was allowed to grow (Suara, hey...Satu suara x 2) Everyday the buildings get taller It's getting hard just to get around Sometimes everything seems to get lost and I'm Not sure what we have found, what we have found (Suara, hey...Satu suara x 2) * Some say there's hope in the heavens and Some wait for the prophesied doom I'll take what I can for tomorrow will come to soon, too soon Street lights shining in my eyes I'm a sane man in an insane time But I believe there's a light up ahead I believe it's mine, I believe it's mine Sometimes we lie, for the truth is too painful We try to shelter the weak from the rain Whether for love or whether for your country The ideology should be the same (Suara, hey...satu suara x 2) If I could fly I would kidnap a rainbow And bring it down to my garden somewhere And everyday I could look out my window And, it would always be there, always be there * Some say there's hope in the heavens and Some wait for the prophesied doom I'll take what I can for tomorrow will come to soon, too soon Street lights shining in my eyes I'm a sane man in an insane time But I believe there's a light up ahead I believe it's mine, I believe it's mine

The Runaway 02:53
The Runaway Crystal raindrops falling from the sky Painted rainbows collecting in your eyes Mystify you Faceless soldiers running in the night Shadows hiding from the candle light Terrify you You've travelled all this way You must be the runaway You are insane, I feel the same Strange emotions they serenade the earth Lost creations, a miracle of birth Classify you Regulations die-ing to infest Generations of people laid to rest Dissatisfy you You've travelled all this way You must be the runaway Chorus You are insane, I feel the same You are insane, I feel the same
