The Return Overture
|
|
Return to the centre of the earth A world within a world Return to an origin of life Of secrets left untold A mountain yet to climb A story to unfold Return to the origin of life To the hidden cry of man To a sanctuary of life beneath the earth Return to the centre of the earth The return to the centre of the earth To the centre of the earth To the centre of the earth To the centre of the earth |

Buried Alive
|
|
Nowhere left for me to hide Waiting for my paranoia Way too late to change my mind No-one wants to beat me Locked away no place to go Everything is disappearing Angels rush to meet the foolish No-one comes to meet me I'm just buried alive Nowhere else left to hide No-one knows me inside No-one gets out alive Alive again don't breathe a word Listen hard and hear the silence Starve the poor and feed the rich There's no revolution Build me up then knock me down Watch my life collapse around me Prison cells with no release date There is no resolution No-one gets out alive Nowhere else left to hide No-one knows me inside I'm just buried alive Come and get me and take me away I don't want you to go I'm locked in a nightmare Where you never stay It can't be the end of the show Head for the wings and then run for your life I hope you have somewhere to hide The devil no longer has all the best tunes We've all been buried alive No-one wants to be me No-one cares if I'm free Only God knows that We're all buried alive No-one wants to come and save me No-one wants to save my face No-one wants to stand beside me No-one wants to take my place I'm just buried alive Nowhere else left to hide No-one knows me inside No-one gets out alive No-one wants to be me No-one cares if I'm free Only God knows that We're all buried alive |

Is Anybody There?
|
|
Does anyone know my name? Is there anybody there? You're as near me as you can ever be Watching me Watching me Does anyone love me? Does anyone need me? Nobody knows my name Takes my blame Feels my pain Does anyone care for me? I just need a life to share All my life I've searched For someone just like you Is there anybody there? Is anyone there? Anyone there? I don't know why you make me wanna stay 'Cos there's no-one left to love I'm losing my life for a reason I'm losing my life 'cos of you Is anybody really there? No-one waits for no-one No-one cares at all Nowhere left to hang around No-one left to call Patience is my virtue By virtue of my shame Broken pieces everywhere Everything's a game Where have all the people gone That once were in my life Why has everybody gone away? Does anyone know my name? Or does anybody care? There's a reason Why I know I have to stay So is anybody there? I'm losing my life for a reason I'm losing my life 'cos of you I want to know you're out there just for me I'm tired of waiting here for you Now I've made up my mind You're no good I don't need you I don't care anymore when you cry I'm sending my love far away With a piece of my heart And a tear for each day That I cried So there must be a reason for living There must be a reason for loving It's all right It's all right Will anyone really care If I just walk away With a tear in each eye And a reason not to stay? Does anyone really know me? Does anyone really care? Is there anybody there? |

Mr. Slow
|
|
You know, I've waited all my life, my friend Even though the story has no end All my friends the call me Mr. Slow It's all right It's all right If I could dream my life each day, I would Never tried to learn, just understood That your life goes faster if you're slow It's all right It's all right I'm watching my life fade away Each second lasts nore than each day I have said all I know, all I want to say I only want to know what I can see In the other world inside of me There's a password just for Mr. Slow It's all right It's all right I'm watching my life fade away If only you'd come home to stay There is just nowhere for people to go Where is your friend Mr. Slow? I'm searching for time I once had Each second lasts more than a day I have said all I know, all I want to say |

Never Is a Long, Long Time
|
|
Nothing comes of nothing Never is a long, long time Waiting in the queue for a life to start It's a waste of your time and mine No time like the present Tomorrow never comes An underground journey through your mind Never mind, the fun's only just begun Speed kills, going nowhere Fast life, in a meltdown Spaceman in the fast lane Never is the right time Head down, 'til we're ceratin, showdown Just a maze of secrets left unanswered Never is a long, long time Find the answer, ask the question Pay the price, then count the cost Take the prize and never finish Life is won, life is lost Free yourself from independence Give Big Brother all control Look around, obey the sign Ever-falling to the place of retribution Never-ending journey, finding reasons to be free Free from questions, giving answers Count the cost, then pat the price Never is a long, long time Ever-moving downward, sign of time decreasing Everlasting movement, to the centre of the earth Never is a long, long Never is a long, long... Welcome to the longest journey To a place where you'll never, ever go Welcome to a theme that doesn't have a park Without a life, a place without a home Hear the voice of freedom Singing the eternal line Looking for a sixth dimension Never is a long, long time Speed kills, going nowhere Fast life, in a meltdown Spaceman in the fast lane Never is the right time Head down, 'til we're ceratin, showdown Just a maze of secrets left unanswered Never is a long, long time Find the answer, ask the question Pay the price, then count the cost Take the prize and never finish Look around, all is lost Free yourself from independence Give Big Brother all control Look around, obey the sign Ever-moving downward, sign of time decreasing Everlasting movement, to the centre of the earth Never is a long time Never is a long time Never is a long, long time |

The Kill
|
|
Final call No more time Heaven waits in your mind No place to go No time to run No pardon fron the Holy One The final countdown has begun A time to live Another life to die for Time to kill Time to die Time to fill Time to cry Play for time Time for play Pay the fine Time to pay Time to fill There is no place for you to run Time to cry There is no place for you to hide Time to kill To reach the point of no return Time to die A never-ending race with time Play for time No-one around to hear you cry Time for play The only reason to be still Pay the fine There is no answer to your call Time to pay The only answer is the kill No place to run No place to run and hide The time has come to prepare the other side The way to Heaven's door is open wide A time to live Another life to die for Waiting to kill |

Still Waters Run Deep
|
|
Someone cries, but there's no-one to hear No more time in an endless day No place to hide as the secrets unfold No time left to fade away My life Gone from view Without love Without you Close your eyes, for there's nothing to see Only dreams hiding far away No tears to cry now I'm left all alone Only seems like another day No-one can hear me, a cry everlasting Bridges of time hidden deep within earth Not in this life is complete understanding A feeling of hope and of peace within earth Still waters run Still waters run Still waters run deep Waiting alone there is no peace of mind Only fear of another day Lost in eternity, no end in sight Only dreams of another way No-one can hear me A cry everlasting A feeling of hope and of peace on this earth Still waters run Still waters run Still waters run deep A feeling of hope And of peace on this earth Still waters run Still waters run Still waters run deep Still waters run Still waters run Still waters run deep |

Ride of Your Life
|
|
Non-stop to freedom It's an absolute beginning A lottery to nowhere With an even chance of winning Listen for the countdown On your biggest fantasy ride Strap yourself in as tight as you can I've no reason to scare you I'm just part of your fantasy ride It's all right Hold on tight And prepare for the ride of your life! Let your body take the strain You know you're way out of control Your only chance is hanging on A chance to play the starring role I am the answer to your prayers I am the nightmare in your soul Tighten up, it's almost time to depart Let every muscle in your body take the strain You must be really very nervous At the front of the queue There's no need to explain But I'll say it again Climb aboard for the ride of your life Hold on tight for the time of your life Climb aboard for the ride of your life Starts now Starts now Climb aboard for the ride of your life There's no substitution for getting a life Hold on tight for the ride of your life Starts now Starts now Strap yourself in as tight as you can I've no reason to scare you I'm just part of your fantasy ride It's all right Hold on tight And prepare for the ride of your life! Climd aboard for the ride of your life Just lay back, enjoy the time of your life Hold on tight and have the ride of your life And I mean ride Climb aboard for the ride of your life A real-life fantasy for once in your life I said, hold on tight, you're just beginning a life And I mean life You gotta life Climd aboard for the ride of your life Just lay back, enjoy the time of your life Hold on tight and have the ride of your life And I mean ride Climd aboard for the ride of your life I said just Climd aboard for the ride of your life You've got to Climd aboard for the ride of your life And I mean ride |

The End of the Return
|
|
Return to the centre of the earth A world within a world An endless journey in time Return to an origin of life Of secrets left untold A mountain there to climb Return to the centre of the earth Heaven waiting for life to appear In a perfect creation of time A message for no-one to hear Time Time within a world Centre Centre of the earth Searching for secrets of time A sign Return to the origin of life To the hidden cry of man To a sanctuary of life beneath the earth A meeting place A point of no return To the centre of the earth The return to the centre of the earth To a meeting place of time In a hidden inner world Return to the centre of the earth To a wonderland of dreams Everlasting in the understanding of our belonging And to the race that can never be won Evermore the meaning of a future presence With the oracle leading to the centre of the earth The earth Return Return to the centre of the earth To a wonderland of dreams There's a world within a world Find the place of no return To the centre of the earth |
