The Hunter

It don't come easy, that's understood
Faint-hearted loser, that's no good
Just take a lesson from the great Mohammed
He said... He said...

Pick up a rifle, you must be strong
To take a title, can be so long
If you believe, you can't go wrong
I said... I said... Listen

He's a fighter, he's my friend,
Always winning in the end,
He's no angel, he's no fool,
Never plays it by the rule,
Take the glory, steal the prize,
Only The Hunter, Only The Hunter

You took your chances, you hurt your pride
A sense of failure, is hard to hard
You crossed the limit, you broke the code
Back on the road... Remember?

He's a rival, he's my friend,
Always winning in the end,
He's a tiger, he's a swan,
He's the one I'm counting on,
To take the glory, steal the prize,
Only The Hunter, Only The Hunter survives

I'm on the outside, I'm looking in
Through the lenses, then into film
I've got the target set in my sights
I see a vision of truth... Look out!

We're gonna fight until we drop,
We're gonna get back to the top,
We're gonna be the first in line,
Winners till the end of time

Only The Hunter, Only The Hunter,
Only The Hunter, Only The Hunter,
Survives

Only Time Will Tell

You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that I would have know by now

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

{Only time will tell}
One thing is sure
That time will tell
{Only time will tell}
If you were wrong
The brightest ring around the moon
Will darken when I die

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

You're leaving now
It's in your eyes
There's no disguising it
It really comes as no surprise
To find that you planned it all along

I see it now
Becomes so clear
Your insincerity
And me all starrey-eyed
To think that I would have know by now

Now, sure as the sun will cross the sky
This lie is over
Lost, like the tears that used to tide me over

(Only time will tell)
You're on your own
Inside your room
(Only time will tell)
You're claiming victory
You were just using me
And there is no one you can use now

(Only time will tell)
One thing is sure
That time will tell…

Arena

You can take it
If you want it
You can break it
If you need it

I'll never fight another day
But you can take the flesh not the soul away
They're calling from the lions den
They're fighting for the ghosts of holy men

Into the arena we climb
We look to the sky
Into the arena we climb
You and I

Is it over
When the light goes?
Bella nova
Tell me who knows

Scars will beat the minds of men
Can you feel the thorns upon the skin?
I'll never fight another day till I die

Yes I hear you
Yes I see you
Yes I feel you
And I need you

Is it over, I'll never fight another day
When the light goes?
But you can take the flesh, not the soul away
Bella nova, they're calling from the lions den
Tell me who knows?
They're fighting for the souls of holy men

Yes I hear you
Yes I see you
Yes I feel you
And I need you

Anytime

As a child, we played the game
Fought the war, but felt no pain
Arm to arm, we left the skin
THen said the words, remember them

Oh, never a moments doubt
Oh, feel it, scream it loud

Anytime that you call
Anytime if you fall
Anytime I'll be there for you
Any moment of fear
Anytime say the prayer
Swear that our word is true

Should I go
Should I stay?
I won't turn my head away
Cross the line, the great divide
So kill the silence, where we hide

Oh, never a moments doubt
Oh, feel it so scream it loud

Anytime that you call
Anytime if you fall
Anytime I'll be there for you
Any moment of fear
Anytime say the prayer
Swear that our word is true

If clouds fall, stand tall
As mountains climb from endless sea
Call out, fear not
Bring back that memory

Anytime that you call
Anytime if you fall
Anytime I'll be there for you
Any moment of fear
Anytime say the prayer
Swear that our word is true

Don't Cry

Hard times you had before you
I knew when I first saw you
You girl you’ve always been mistreated, cheated

So leave it all behind you
It took so long to find you
I know that we can last forever, ever and more, more, oh

Don't cry now that I’ve found you
Don't cry take a look around you
Don't cry it took so long to find you
Do what you want, but little Darling please don't cry

I knew I’d never doubt it
I was so sure about it
Don't think of all that’s been before

I'll hear you when you’re calling
I'll catch you when you’re falling
Don't worry I will always be there, like never before, or, oh

Don't cry now that I've found you…
Don't cry now that I've found you…

Who will Stop the Rain?

This problem is insoluble
The answers seem impossible
The logic ceases to exist
Emotion is the beat we miss

I stand on a world
Where dreams, realities, existence are the same
We take from the mother's skin
But the world is not to blame

Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know
So who can stop the rain?
We've lost the path for all we know
Now tell me when will it start again?
And as the old man lifts his hands
Please can you stop the rain?

Stars fall far away
Like they never did before
A new moon shining
Like it never will again

Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know
So who can stop the rain?
We've lost the path for all we know
Now tell me when will it start again?
And as the old man lifts his hands
Please can you stop the rain?

Desert white cloud
Spirits they sing
Rain falls from the big sky
Onto broken wing

There is no sense in turning back
To wash the debris from the track
World without fears without rhyme
We fought for peace within our time

Who tells the wind which way to blow?
I wonder who will stop the rain
The rocks that hold the secrets, they don't know
So who can stop the rain?
We've lost the path for all we know
Now tell me when will it start again?
And as the old man lifts his hands
Please can you stop the rain?

The Heat Goes On

You walk tall, got your head in the clouds
You talk soft, but you're thinking aloud
And you know, exactly what you want

You box shy, you're hard to get
You got the face that I can't forget
And I know, I know The Heat Goes On

I know that The Heat Goes On
I know that The Heat Goes On

You play tight, you're nobody's fool
You're not cold, but I know that you're cool
Look at you, I know The Heat Goes On

Now tell me, with your hand on you're heart
That you knew, you were right from the start
And you're sure, you felt it all along

You know that The Heat Goes On
You know that The Heat Goes On

Times to decide, times that I've lied
Problems will never be solved
Which way is wrong, which could be right?
This heat will always go on

You walk tall, got your head in the clouds
You talk soft, but you're thinking aloud
And you know, exactly what you want

You box shy, you're hard to get
You got the face that I'll never forget
You and I know, we know The Heat Goes On

Two Sides of the Moon

Laser, breathing on my window
Two strings, beating out of time
Koto, warning of the danger
Wake up, is your head still mine?

Now they give you reasons
To fight for love

That's enough
In a paper world
That's enough
Said the Chinese girl
That's enough
Another city falls
Just because we're two sides of the moon

Data, streaming through my window
Chrome stars, whispering their lies
Black sky, hides approaching stranger
Reach out, two should now be one

Disregard the reasons
And look above

That's enough
In a paper world
That's enough
Said the Siamese girl
That's enough
Another city falls
Just because we're two sides of the moon

Reality

It's down your wire, it's on your screen
Pirate satellite, next to MTV
Insert your hand, subscription free
It's reality

Put on the suit, connect the chord
Free mind of city life, just ecstasy
Don't block the flow, only you can see
Your reality

And as the programme runs surely to the screen
You can't hold back, you're in

Reality - so virtual
Reality - machinery
Designed by me, but physical
Reality, just anything you want to see

Is it wrong it's in your mind
Banned by the chosen ones, how they rule your life
Exit that page, enter brave new world
From reality

And as the programme runs surely to the screen
You can't hold back, you're in

Reality - so virtual
Reality - machinery
Designed by me, but physical
Reality, just anything you want to see

Go

Dig for victory, go for gold
I don't wanna die before I get old
And I wonder where I'm going to
There's some way out, there's some way through
But I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm down again
My direction is changing, which way,
Which way can I go...

Get up and go

You start me up, you slow me down
No one can deny you get around
When you're hot, you're cold, you're in between
Asking myself what does it mean?
And I walk that tightrope, you should know
I'm losing my balance, maybe,
Maybe I should go...

Get up and go

Face to face in sympathy
But now you turn your back on me
Turn a card and win, but you may lose
Fate only has that right to choose
If you're right, leave me here, I'll die alone
You've got the time, you've just got time
You got the time just go...

Get up and go
Go

Just go…

Feels Like Love

Feel my mind, the sleep is ending
As we rush into the sea
Take my eyes, and I will show you
The future in the deep

You must breathe on
You must be strong

Am I right to fight the distance
As we push against the tide?

You must breathe on
You must be strong

Rushing through my head, I can touch the thunder
Lighting up the mind, as the wind blows stronger
Pushing back the sea, as the storm is calling on
Louder than before, in the raging river
Faster than the stream, will it last forever?
Holding back the time, as the world stops turning

Feels like love...
Tell me, does it feel like love?

We look to the sky, to the statue of hope
She is holding the flame, as the island awoke
To the city of dreams, where the angel still sleeps
See the satellites glow as they rise from the sea

Feels like love...
Tell me, does it feel like love?

Someday

Don't want to live in another world
Don't want to dream of another girl
That's the way it was meant to be

I couldn't sleep through the lonely night
I just cried till the morning
It's not the way it was meant to be

Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love my shine on you
Someday you may find the one

You didn't leave me, you ran away
Couldn't face what you had to say
It's not the way it was meant to be

Now you can live in your other world
Me, i've found me another girl
And that's the way it was meant to be

Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love my shine on you
Someday you may find the one

When I dream, I dream of one world
But I know there's no such place
If I could ever find that one girl
In my world, in my world

Someday you may find somebody else
Someday love my shine on you
Someday you may find the one

Heat of the Moment

I never meant to be so bad to you
One thing I said that I would never do
One look from you and I would fall from grace
And that would wipe this smile right from my face

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidence arose from circumstance
One thing lead to another we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And now you find yourself in 82
The disco hotspots hold no charm for you
You can't concern yourself with bigger things
You catch the pearl and ride the dragon's wings

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

And when your looks are gone and you're alone
How many nights you sit beside the phone
What were the things you wanted for yourself
Teenage ambition you remember well

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what your heart meant
Heat of the moment shone in your eyes

Military Man

The fighting's over now
There's nowhere left to run
My ammunition's out
I'd better put down my gun
And as I face this life of fear
I'd better keep my conscience clear
Inside my mind I'm out of it
And I ain't never coming back

So don't come running here to find me
'Cos I'm a military man
And as I spin this wheel of fortune
In my military world
I'm a military man

The architects of time
Are calling me
But I don't believe it
Necessarily
And as I face this life of fear
Break the chains
That bind me here
Inside my head I'm out of it
But I'm still never coming back

So don't come running here to find me
'Cos I'm a military man
And as I spin this wheel of fortune
In my military world
I'm a military man

I'm a military man
Just a military man yes I am

Different Worlds

Time and tide,
Are the dreams that come and go,
They wait for no man on the shore.
Should you step,
In the same dark river twice,
Let it wash the sins away,

Is there time at hand,
With so much to say?
And I know, it's a different world today,
And I know, to another God we pray,
And I know, we're in different worlds today.

Here I stand,
My philosophy held high,
Like a preacher in a foreign land.
And here we walk,
In the wilderness of sands,
With the prophet and the holy man.

Is there time at hand,
With so much to say?
And I know, it's a different world today,
And I know, to another God we pray,
And I know, we're in different worlds today,
And I know, it's a different world today.

They're burning the Book, they're burning the faith,
Our dream will be over,
Let's wake from the sleep, a legion we'll be,
To live forever.

I know I as wrong, I have to put it right,
I just can't let it slip away,
'Cause it's a different world today.

Different world, different world, different world today,
Is it a better world today?
