Anthem
|
|
Know your place in life is where you want to be Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me Keep on looking forward, no use in looking 'round Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind We marvel after those who sought The wonders of the world, wonders of the world Wonders of the world they wrought Live for yourself - there's no one else More worth living for Begging hands and bleeding hearts Will only cry out for more Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind We marvel after those who sought The wonders of the world, wonders of the world Wonders of the world they wrought Well, I know they've always told you Selfishness was wrong Yet it was for me, not you, I came to write this song Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind We marvel after those who sought The wonders of the world, wonders of the world Wonders of the world they wrought |

Best I Can
|
|
I've got a livin' that's rough, a future that's tough You know what I mean Blankers and boasters, all the bluffers and posers I'm not into that scene You can tell me that I got no class Look around, you'll see who's laughin' last Don't give me speeches 'cause they're oh so droll Leave me alone, let me rock and roll Got an itchin' to rock, a hate for small talk I'm funny that way Got my sights on the stars, won't get that far But I'll try anyway I just like to please, I don't like to tease I'm easy like that Don't like long rests, I must confess I'm an impatient cat You can tell me that I got no class Look around, you'll see who's laughin' last Don't give me speeches 'cause they're oh so droll Leave me alone, let me rock and roll I do the best that I can I'm just what I am I do the best I can Well, I know what I am Got an itchin' to rock, a hate for small talk I'm funny that way Got my sights on the stars, won't get that far But I'll try anyway Rock and roll - it's a scream, makin' millions my dream Well, I do that a lot I'll just give it a try, won't let good times pass me by They're all I've got |

Beneath, Between & Behind
|
|
Ten score years ago, defeat the kingly foe A wondrous dream came into being Tame the trackless waste, no virgin land left chaste All shining eyes, but never seeing Beneath the noble bird Between the proudest words Behind the beauty, cracks appear Once with heads held high They sang out to the sky Why do their shadows bow in fear? Watch the cities rise Another ship arrives Earth's melting pot and ever growing Fantastic dreams come true Inventing something new The greatest minds, and never knowing Beneath the noble bird Between the proudest words Behind the beauty, cracks appear Once with heads held high They sang out to the sky Why do their shadows bow in fear? The guns replace the plow, facades are tarnished now The principles have been betrayed The dreams's gone stale, but still, let hope prevail History's debt won't be repaid Beneath the noble bird Between the proudest words Behind the beauty, cracks appear Once with heads held high They sang out to the sky Why do their shadows bow in fear? |

By-Tor & the Snow Dog
|
|
Tobes of Hades, lit by flickering torchlight The Netherworld is gathered in the glare Prince By-Tor takes the cavern to the north light The sign of Eth is rising in the air By-Tor, knight of darkness Centurion of evil, devil's prince Across the River Styx, out of the lamplight His nemesis is waiting at the gate The Snow Dog, ermine glowing in the damp night Coal-black eyes shimmering with hate By-Tor and the Snow Dog Square for battle, let the fray begin The battle's over and the dust is clearing Disciples of the Snow Dog sound the knell Rejoicing echoes as the dawn is nearing By-Tor in defeat retreats to Hell Snow Dog is victorious The land of the Overworld is saved again |

Fly by Night

Why try? I know why The feeling inside me says it's time I was gone Clear head, new life ahead I want to be king now not just one more pawn Fly by night, away from here Change my life again Fly by night, goodbye my dear My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend Moon rise, thoughtful eyes Staring back at me from the window beside No fright or hindsight Leaving behind that empty feeling inside Fly by night, away from here Change my life again Fly by night, goodbye my dear My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend Start a new chapter Find what I'm after It's changing every day The change of a season Is enough of a reason To want to get away Quiet and pensive My thoughts apprehensive The hours drift away Leaving my homeland Playing a lone hand My life begins today Fly by night, away from here Change my life again Fly by night, goodbye my dear My ship isn't coming and I just can't pretend |

Making Memories
|
|
There's a time for feeling as good as we can The time is now, and there's no stopping us There's a time for living as high as we can Behind us you will only see our dust Just keep smiling, move onward every day And try to keep our thoughts away from home We're traveling all around, no time to settle down And satisfy our wanderlust to roam You know we're having good days And we hope they're gonna last Our future still looks brighter than our past We feel no need to worry No reason to be sad Our memories remind us, maybe road life's not so bad Well from sea to shining sea, and a hundred points between Still we go on digging every show The cities in the land all extend a welcome hand Till morning when it's time for us to go You know we're having good days And we hope they're gonna last Our future still looks brighter than our past We feel no need to worry No reason to be sad Our memories remind us, maybe road life's not so bad |

Rivendell
|
|
Sunlight dances through the leaves Soft winds stir the sighing trees Lying in the warm grass Feel the sun upon your face Elven songs and endless nights Sweet wine and soft relaxing lights Time will never touch you Here in this enchanted place I've traveled now for many miles It feels so good to see the smiles of Friends who never left your mind When you were far away From the golden light of coming dawn Till the twilight where the sun is gone We treasure every season And every passing day You feel there's something calling you, you're wanting to return To where the misty mountains rise and friendly fires burn A place you can escape the world where the dark lord cannot go Peace of mind and sanctuary by loud water's flow We feel the coming of a new day Darkness gives way to light a new way Stop here for a while until the world The world calls you away Yet you know I've had the feeling Standing with my senses reeling This is the place to grow old 'til I reach my final day You feel there's something calling you, you're wanting to return To where the misty mountains rise and friendly fires burn A place you can escape the world where the dark lord cannot go Peace of mind and sanctuary by loud water's flow |

In the End

Well, I can see what you mean It just takes me longer And I can feel what you feel It just makes you stronger You can take me for a little while You can take me, you can make me smile in the end Well, I can see what you mean It just takes me longer And I can feel what you feel It just makes you stronger I know, I know, I know Oh, the feeling grows I see, I see, I see It's got to be Well, I can do what you do You just do it better And I can cry like you cry It just makes me sadder I know, I know, I know Oh, the feeling grows I see, I see, I see It's got to be You can take me for a little while You can take me, you can make me smile in the end Well, I can shine like you shine It doesn't make me brighter But if I think like you think It don't make my load much lighter Well, I can see what you mean It just takes me longer And I can feel what you feel It just makes me stronger |
