1.
Overture/Whirlwind
|
|
Catch your breath as you watch your step Head spinning round as you hit the ground Present tense time is of essence Hold the second hand going round the dial And we got caught in the whirlwind Torn by the storms of our lives We counted - counted on something That never could hold up our lives By chance to see an inner light Your wildest dreams bring a certain fright Doubt arising from the shock It's your head that's back on the block And we got caught in the whirlwind Torn by the storms of our lives And just when we though we had something It turned to dust in our eyes Out on the sea on a winter's day Looking north over skies are grey There I can see as the winds blow high Do the storms still rage or maybe it's my eyes |

The Wind Blew Them All Away
|
|
The wind is blowing softer now My eyes are still a blur With remnants all around me I survey the ones that were They were strong and tall They stood so proud And when they walked the streets The people bowed But when the climate changed They tried their best to stay But the wind blew them all away Picture in your mind A silent statue in the sand A dust cloud comes And leaves no hiding place For beast or man And in the master's house They're partyin' down But there's no resting place In this prodigal town But there are some we know Thought they'd go all the way But the wind blew them all away In the master's house There's an easy chair Some would like to think It's easy there, but if you look for long So many have gone astray Cause the wind blew them all away While they were looking the other way The wind came and blew them all away They thought they could stand in the stormy day But the wind came and blew them all away The wind came and blew them all away They thought they could stand in the stormy day But they wind came and blew them all away |

On the Prowl
|
|
Blow them down - stir up this mess Make them think their leaders have become possessed Rock the house - send pestilence Send the whirlwind down 'til no one's on the fence Listening to the wind - a bark and a howl Changing voices from a moan to a growl You best stay in here because the wolf's on the prowl Take the take - a trial and test Take all that they love until there's nothing left Break the banks - fill them with fear Will they turn to me or turn to something here? But listen through the wind you'll hear him now Working wonders though we know not how Before we're raised up he's got to break us down |

A Man Can Feel
|
|
So you think you're in control? Yet another gloomy day unfolded Pushing panic from your door One boss - one lie - one world order Old classics are long overdue New frontiers - it's a scary prospect Hollow icons - revolving doors Pale riders of no tomorrow... of no tomorrow A man can feel he's left out on his own Like a stranger in his home Now - what makes it all come apart? A man can sense the speed of falling down No feet on solid ground Still time for a change of heart... The dogs of labor leaning on their spades That Pokerface won't stand a fall from grace Now did you find the satisfaction needed? Or did it leave you with an empty feeling? Old classics are long overdue New frontiers - it's a scary prospect Hollow icons - revolving doors Pale riders of no tomorrow... of no tomorrow!!! A man can feel he's left out on his own Like a stranger in his home Now - what makes it all come apart? A man can sense the speed of falling down No feet on solid ground Still time for a change of heart... |

Out of the Night
|
|
Coming out of the night - stepping out Where the winds are warmer It's a sudden alright - coming out of the night Coming out of the night - stepping out From the darkest corner With new eyes I can see - I can do what I please Catch your breath as you watch your step Head spinning round as you hit the ground Present tense time is of essence Hold the second hand going round the dial Coming out of the night - stepping out Where the winds are warmer It's a sudden alright - coming out of the night I was once at the forefront Once I was happy in life But mostly I don't think about it now I smile like I'm doing alright Coming out of the night - stepping out Where the winds are warmer It's a sudden alright - coming out of the night Coming out of the night - stepping out From the darkest corner With new eyes I can see - I can do what I please By chance to meet an inner light Your wildest dreams brings a certain fright Doubt arisin' From the shock Keep your head And lead the flock Then we were back In the whirlwind Torn by the storms Of our lives And just When we thought It was over It came Blowin' through One more time |

Rose Colored Glasses

Long ago he saw the light of day Then the wind it blew the man away And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses But I believe the man is going home Long ago he set the ship aright Then he sailed away into the night And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses But I believe the man is going home And I know that we are more than dust and ashes And one day we will know what we have known But on the dark side There are times of suffering (And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses) But as the pages turn One day we'll learn of everything But now we see through glass... When the ending came I said goodbye I hope to meet him on the other side And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses That I believe we have the greatest hope (I believe we have the greatest hope) And I'll sing this as we're scattering the ashes I believe the man has gone back home... (I believe the man has gone back home) But on the dark side There are times of suffering (And I don't believe I wear rose colored glasses) But as the pages turn One day we'll learn of everything But now we see through glass... This world is not our home You can live like a rollin' stone But you cannot escape with your life We seek a city on fire With the heart of a child's desire WE will cross that bridge and enter into life... real life... But on the dark side There are times of suffering But as the pages turn One day we'll burn like lightning In that city in the sky! |

Evermore
|
|
Down from the mountain top - to the river Your deep blue secret meets the sea bed Down from the skies - now face your forgiver Your deep blue soul is ripe and ready A dream of perfection of a face Dreams to travel through time and space Pieces of heaven to bring back home Traces of evidence that we're not alone... not alone... not alone... Down from the mothership to the groundfloor Travel these roads with a stranger's eyes Land and water - you feel no borders The same old people - same old cries A dream of perfection of a face Dreams to travel through time and space Pieces of heaven to bring back home Traces of evidence that we're not alone And while we wait we wage our wars and send our sons to evermore - evermore! Is it really happening? Is it really going to be? Is it really happening? Is it what our minds can see? Is it really dangerous? Is this what our God intended all along? |

Set Us Free

Look at the people Tossed in turmoil in the street Satan like lightning falling down The ungodly world Is like a vicious troubled sea Feels like our ship is sinking down We have been blinded in our hearts We want to say And somewhere inside we know It's not supposed to be Come bring this ship Out of the whirlwind and Set us free, free, free, free... Look at the person Who is standing to your right Look how he's slowly going mad Watch how he smiles And acts like everything's alright But if you close your eyes You'll understand We have been blinded in our hearts We want to say And somewhere inside we know It's not supposed to be Come bring this ship Out of the whirlwind Set us free, free, free, free! (Set us free, set us free, free, free) |

Lay Down Your Life
|
|
Roll up it's a storm chaser's life With a burnin' yearnin' For excitement every night With the world in breakdown you run Shout through the streets Like an atomic gattling gun You've got to lay down You've got to lay down your life You've got to come down to a place where The low will get high When it feels like mayhem may reign When your mind is cold And confusion swirls in shades of grey When nothing's black - nothing's white When you shiver in the darkness Refracting from the light You've got to lay down You've got to lay down your life Like rain in Spokane You've got to fall through the sky You've got to lay down You've got to lay down your life Like rain in Spokane You've got to fall through the sky |

Is it really happening? Is it really going to be? Is it really happening? Is it what our minds can see? Is it really happening? Is it really going to pass? Is it really happening? Is it really going to last? Is it really happening? Is it really going to be? Is it really happening? Is it what our minds can see? Is it really happening? Is it really going to pass? Is it really happening? Is it really going to last? Is it really happening? Is it really going to be? Is it really happening? Is it what our minds Were meant to feast upon? Is it really happening? Is it really going to be? Is it really happening? Is it what our minds can see? Is it really happening? Is it really going to pass? Is it really happening? Is it really going to last? Is it really happening? Is it really going to be? Is it really happening? Is it what our minds can see? Is it really happening? Is it really going to be? Is it what our minds Were meant to feast upon? |

Dancing with Eternal Glory/Whirlwind (Reprise)
|
|
And as the summer turns its head Cowering to the ground At night the winds abate to the chase Tomorrow to be found A whisper of such tenderness Peels through the skies of grey The voice of one who holds the better way Hey... All we are, all we are, this is all we are Just a page, just a life, reaching from afar Take a breath, close your eyes You'll see what you are When you look inside your mind Take a step, take a chance, take it where you will Ask the light for a dance, moving standing still Reaching out for his hand Blowing daffodils like a million stars in the sky And you're dancing with eternal glory Taking a step to another land You are dancing with eternal glory This is much more than time and chance When the giver of life is asking you to dance What can we in ourselves really ever know Just a blink in the life's swooning ebb and flow But there's a way There's a side you will come to know When you go outside our time And you're dancing with eternal glory Taking a step to another land You are dancing with eternal glory This is much more than time and chance When the giver of life is asking you to dance And you're dancing with eternal glory Taking a step to another land You are dancing with eternal glory Don't be afraid come and take his hand And you're dancing with eternal glory Taking a step to another land You are dancing with eternal glory This is much more than time and chance When the giver of life is asking you to DANCE! A man can feel his spirit hit the sky Like a window open wide Like a sunlit valley floor A man can sense when all the storms are gone And he's back where he belongs Walking through an open door We're on trip in a foreign land Reach for home, where the kingdom stands There is the key he has given you, search it out All who seek will find the truth! After all the storm will pass you by There is in the heart of the whirlwind One who has been for all time And he was sent to deliver And bring forth the river of life And we are here in the wilderness Seeking some shelter inside And now that it's done Out of the whirlwind Comes forth the true breadth of life And from the whirlwind comes the breath of life... |
