Arrive

i've been around the sun
and i'm not the only one
i haven't seen the ground
i take a look around
The force of gravity
so deep inside of me
i can't escape myself
there's no one here to tell
If only the light
could live through the night
I could see where I've been
The more that you need love
the more that you bleed love
keep on chasing light
When the moment arrives
gotta reach for the sky
keep on chasing light
Been around the sun
and I'm not the only one
I haven't seen the ground
take a look around
Look around, look around, look around
Look around
I'm moving and I'm falling to the ground
I'm fading and I'm fighting with the sound
Look around
Somebody let me go
Somebody tell me no
Somebody get me home
Somebody get me home
I'm moving
I'm falling
I'm fading
i'm fighting
Somebody get me home
If only the light
could live through the night
I could see where I've been
If only the light
could live through the night
i could see where I'm going
If only the light
could live through the night
I'm moving, I'm falling
I'm fading, I'm fighting
I could see where I'm going

Radiowave

Love's immaterial
anything can change the tide
look in the mirror
what you fear is deep inside
Everything is relative
everything you need is now
look for your answers
you won't rest til you find
peace of mind
GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE WITH A RADIOWAVE
GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE WITH A RADIOWAVE
GOING TO CHANGE MY LIFE WITH A RADIOWAVE
Can you feel the sun?
Fear is imperial
reaching for the things you hide
makes you surrender
breaks the will of love and pride
But everything is relative
when everything you need is gone
go look for your answers
you won't rest til you find
peace of mind
(Farrell)

Lightchaser
04:55
|

Look in my eyes
and you see that i am ready
waiting for tomorrow
as the sun goes down
Nothing is left and
the world is unsteady
everything around me
on uneven ground
CHANGE MY LIFE
THE SKY IS FALLING
CLOSE MY EYES
THE SUN IS CALLING
I'LL JUST SET MY COURSE
AND PLAN MY FLIGHT
I'M JUST CHASING LIGHT
CHASING LIGHT
In to the light
with the hope for my being
running from a future
that is fading fast
Follow my heart
as it reaches for meaning
just to give me solace
while i bide my time
while i bide my time
(Farrell)

Speed of the Climb
05:39
|

In close ties
your heart speaks
with fashion
of all kinds
Though mortal
your eyes weep
with passion
on our minds
Kept in democracy
soon starts to fade
the winner is losing
to others persuade?
From who’s side
will I stand
from your side
will you run?
I’ve often
looked after
remember
that laughter?
And weak are the times
when we left you behind
and closer the ties
when your heart speaks your mind
when your heart speaks your mind
when your heart speaks you're mine
THE SPEED OF THE CLIMB
WE REACH FROM BEHIND
IN TROUBLES WE'VE SEEN
AT LEAST TRY TO LEAN
And all those times you helped me
held me
and all those times
THE SPEED OF THE CLIMB
WE REACH FROM BEHIND
IN TROUBLES WE'VE SEEN
AT LEAST TRY TO LEAN
And all those times you helped me
held me
and all those times
WEAK ARE THE TIMES WHEN WE LEFT YOU BEHIND
CLOSER THE TIES WHEN YOUR HEART SPEAKS YOUR MIND
THE SPEED OF THE CLIMB
THE SPEED OF THE CLIMB
AND ALL THOSE TIMES YOU HELPED ME

Build for the Future
04:53
|
|||
In to the ether
days pass us by
is time killing us or are we killing time
Heart feels the rhythm
head in the sky
you try to believe that you’ve tried to decide
BUILD FOR THE FUTURE
BREAK WITH THE PAST
EVERYTHING’S CHANGING SO FAST
IT’S YOUR DECISION
IT’S WHAT YOU BELIEVE
YOU JUST WANT TO BE FREE
Crash the horizon
over the line
signal the end
if you think you have time
In to the abstract
taking your flight
look for the truth in
available light
ONE SUN SHINES IN THE DISTANCE
FEEDS YOUR RESISTANCE
CHANGES YOUR INNER PHILOSOPHY
-build for the future
-break with the past
RISING FOR THE HOPE OF A NEW DAY
YOU JUST WANT TO BE FREE
(Farrell)

Burning Daylight
03:07
|
|||
Looking ahead to the place you began
now is the time to believe in your own secret plan
Perimeter falls to the shadow of day
perception is sharp in no particular way
but fades to gray
CLOSE YOUR EYES
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT
TURN YOUR HEAD
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT
-Eventide
-Evenfall
YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT
-Eventide
-Evenfall
Into the dark with intrepid resolve
believe in the hope that the fear is about to dissolve
The deeper the courage the deeper the skin
the future is where you decide that you want to begin
again
CLEAR YOUR EYES
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT
CHASE THE SKY
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT
PROMISE THAT YOU’LL ALWAYS
FIGHT THE GOOD FIGHT
THE END OF DAYS
YOU KNOW YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT
-Eventide
-Evenfall
YOU’RE BURNING DAYLIGHT

Walls
04:46
|

Catch the new semantic
the truth will set you free
take the time to believe again
feel the force of gravity
Watch the bleak horizon
the dark will intervene
then you will never know
you will never see
The sun
that shines
behind
these walls
inside
BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS
BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS
BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS
Chase the light fantastic
the fear is the past
Like the time that you ran away
fleeting dreams that never last
Trapped inside a fortress
nowhere to recede
So you will never know
you will never see
the light
that shines
inside
these walls
Divide
BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS
BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS
BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS
You will never know
You will never see
You will never know
You will never see
BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS
You will never know
BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS
You will never see
BREAKING DOWN THE WALLS

Running Man
07:02
|
|||
Looking for the key
to breaking the code
thought inside your eyes
about to explode
Moving to the void
of nothing ahead
rushing to the wave
of infrared
Pushing toward the sun
with panic and pain
strength is flowing thin
like the blood in your veins
Everything you know
and all that you see
breaking in to possibility
OPEN UP YOUR EYES
AND REACH TO THE SKY
YOU’RE BREATHING WITH THE FEAR OF
A RUNNING MAN
FALLING TO YOUR KNEES
YOU SHAKE THE DISEASE
YOU’RE REACHING FOR THE SOUND OF CONTACT
Knowing that the right
is all that you own
fleeting is the sight
of the world you called home
Nothing to connect
the future and past
standing at the point of contrast
CAN YOU HELP ME?
CAN YOU HELP ME?
REACHING FOR THE SOUND OF CONTACT
(Farrell)

The Siren Will
05:13
|
|||
Inside the light
is a burning sun
looking for a moment in time
something lingers on the edge of the eye
To take a leap
to make the jump
ready to believe in a sign
something calling in back of your mind
YOU CAN FIND AN ANSWER
YOU RUN OR YOU STAND STILL
ONE THING MATTERS IN THE MEANING OF LIFE
YOU CAN NEVER SAY
IT’S OVERKILL
Outside the night
a darkened sky
hoping that your will is resigned
something calling for a blistering light
You look ahead
you look around
feeling for the future design
something telling you to put up a fight
YOU CAN FIND AN ANSWER
YOU RUN OR YOU STAND STILL
ONE THING MATTERS IN THE MEANING OF LIFE
YOU CAN NEVER SAY
IT’S OVERKILL
YOU CAN BUILD A FUTURE
WITH SPIRIT AND WITH SKILL
ONE THING MATTERS IN THE MEANING OF LIFE
YOU CAN NEVER BREAK
THE SIREN WILL
There was a time when all around your life
the reasons were the reasons you chase light
and if there's no design to what you find the
answer is the fear is burning bright

Staring at the Sun
06:27
|
|||
Long ago I tried to find
a mystery that hadn’t yet
begun
Has to be
a better path
as history is only for the young
Wandering into the future
feel alive
I’m staring at the sun
YOU CAN TELL YOURSELF THAT YOU WILL
BE THE ONE
WHO WILL LEARN IN TIME THAT LIFE
HAS JUST BEGUN
STARING AT THE SUN
YOU CAN TELL YOURSELF THAT LIFE
HAS COME UNDONE
YOU MAY FIND THAT TIME IS KIND
TO ANYONE
STARING AT THE SUN
Waking for a new beginning
feel the air
the world is spinning fast
So much is in front of me
I take a breath and reach ahead
at last
Inside of my new strategy
a new resolve
a future for my past
WHEREVER YOU GO
WHERE EVER YOU ARE
YOU'RE ALWAYS CHASING LIGHT
YOU REACH FOR THE SUN
YOU FOLLOW THE STARS
YOU'RE ALWAYS CHASING LIGHT
EXTRAORDINARY LIGHT
EXTRAORDINARY LIGHT
(Farrell)

Samsara
05:55
|
|||
Circles rolling in my mind
days returning to the find
a changing member of the only kind
no one shall be left behind
Playing the role of worthless part
believing the worth of a worthless heart
we're stuck in the wood as an aimless dart
we're destined to relive another start
I'll lose my arms to win this fight
I'll lose my eyes to gain the sight
there's nothing left or kept on tight
won't waste my breath on you tonight
Walking limb from limb
I'm moving
no distractions
I'm not grooving
Where is the light
there is no pathway
why don't we meet halfway?
SAMSARA
Walking limb from limb
I'm moving
Where's the light
there is no pathway
WAITING FOR THE BIG DECISION
WHEN WILL ANYBODY LISTEN?
WAITING FOR THE BIG DECISION
WHEN WILL ANYBODY LISTEN?

The Great Escape
12:38
|

1. Rise
When the moment arrives
keep on chasing light
Waiting for the big decision
And when the moment arrives
keep on chasing light
2. The Moment Arrives
Find the reason
for the fear
tell yourself to get away from here
there’s a moment
wide awake
reaching for the dream you make
Disappearing
through the sky
find a way to tell yourself its right
feel the system
start to break
running from the big mistake
Hope for love
Hope for light
Hope to have the strength to make the flight
Hope’s the freedom hope creates
So hope to make the great escape
THE MORE THAT YOU BLEED LOVE
THE MORE THAT YOU NEED LOVE
IT’S ALREADY BEGUN
AND WHEN THE MOMENT ARRIVES
YOU’VE GOT TO REACH FOR THE SUN
KEEP ON CHASING
KEEP ON CHASING LIGHT
Build a future
in your eyes
tell yourself it’s time to say goodbye
Big decisions
you decide
Time is never on our side
Hope for love
Hope for light
Hope to have the strength to make the flight
Hope’s the freedom hope creates
So hope to make the great escape
THE MORE THAT YOU BLEED LOVE
THE MORE THAT YOU NEED LOVE
IT’S ALREADY BEGUN
AND WHEN THE MOMENT ARRIVES
YOU’VE GOT TO REACH FOR THE SUN
KEEP ON CHASING
KEEP ON CHASING LIGHT
3. Flight
When the moment arrives
keep on chasing light
