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
Walked the streets at night Head low To cross the borderline That only you know Then inside your room You'll show The man you did not want to be Are you big enough? Are you losing your touch? And if you walk away Don't you know you'd better change From these early days Don't want to let go You'd climb the stairs of change To her room Held those clothes so soft Was it so good To paint the face the scars of youth? Are you big enough? Are you losing your touch? And if you walk away Don't you know you'd better change
From the very first rush To the very last sigh In a moment's touch To the whole of time Be the secrets of pain Kiss the tears that you cry Just to hold without Get to touch within From the sound of your breath To the taste of your skin I'd give all my days Just for one of your nights I've just got to get next to you Let it out, let it go Desire, make it physical Looks to feed the thrill Desire, with its hungry eyes Closing for the kill Desire, all that's left in me Tears the night in two Desire, like a primitive Claw my way to you Are you thinking of me Like I'm thinking of you? How the innocence dies In a passionate stare A shaft of light A silent dare The call of the wild... From the very first crime Of original sin To the carnal lie Where the truth begins Just to feel your nails Lift me up like wings I've just got to get next to you Let it out, let it go Desire, make it physical Looks to feed the thrill Desire, with its hungry eyes Closing for the kill Desire, all that's left in me Tears the night in two Desire, like a primitive Claw my way to you Are you thinking of me Like I'm thinking of you?
Her fingers feel the air The mantle now so bare From green then into brown Lie scattered all around We hope they will return Like those before did learn Now that their summer's gone We have to carry on Till we rise, I just can't wait Now tell me, who are you To judge my fate? Oh, the rain burns on Now that summer's gone Oh, the wind blows strong Now that summer's gone Across the fields we ran To emerald castles, banned By rule of modern man Who built a winterland Then as the seasons change He'll fly and hide away Above a cloud of words On wings of gold I heard We must rise, it's not too late Now tell me, who are you To change our fate? Oh, the rain burns on Now that summer's gone Oh, the wind blows strong Now that summer's gone
When you wake, I'll be gone Just a space, an empty chair And I know, I was wrong Just one more time, then I'll be gone Who stopped the sky from falling? Who held you back from harm? Who stood as walls were falling? A call still guides us on It's a sad situation And no one's to blame I'ts a sad situation Now you're gone It's a sad situation Which someday may change It's a sad situation Now you're gone In the dawn, turn the page We stand alone, as the lions rage I suppose we'll move on A fight of minds, that still breathe strong Who stopped the sky from falling? Who held you back from harm? WHo held you close when hurting? Who keeps the doves of hope? It's a sad situation And no one's to blame I'ts a sad situation Now you're gone It's a sad situation Which someday may change It's a sad situation Now you're gone
He was just a lonely kid No matter what he did Was never recognised Then you came along Was the second son So special in their eyes Oh how he ran To the city where his dreams would turn to man Oh how he ran So he lived his life alone Where he lay was home Then they made him move along From town to town With his head held down Then he turned twords the gun Again how he ran From the badge he had no chance to understand Oh how he ran Don't cut the wire, cos he really needs you now Don't cut the wire, in the final hour When it comes to the rest, you were always the best Brother don't you cut the wire Many years have passed But behind the mask He always thought of you Now with a gun in hand It's his final stand Your brother needs you too He knows how he ran From the child he was Then later from the man Oh how he ran Don't cut the wire, cos he really needs you now Don't cut the wire, in the final hour When it comes to the rest, you were always the best Brother don't you cut the wire
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?
The battlefield, the smoke has cleared Silence in sight, the blood lies deep Look from the hills, the valley calls Six hundred fall, a lost to all Someday, somewhere, ever calling One time, one life, ever falling Chorus: And will you remember The flowers in the fields? And will you remember The loss of one so dear And will you remember Through the mist of lies? Remember Their spirit never dies Remember Out of the skies, and into the green Fuelled by the lies, paid by soul Soldire, hero, well 'Uncle Sam' He don't wanna know And will you remember The flowers in the fields? And will you remember The loss of one so dear And will you remember Through the mist of lies? Remember Their spirit never dies Remember
So early in the morning It's the same now every day Sign your name and number Cutting from the ball and chain Never letting go when The weight was so deceiving Treading on a turning wheel Machinery is screaming Shoulder to the stone again Praying for the evening Hiding as the fist hits steel Enough's enough It's eye to eye Enough's enough We cry Enough's enough Of smoke and steel Enough's enough Of turning this wheel Looking at his picture Steel did turn the skin to bone Father I remember The hands that had to break the stone Enough's enough It's eye to eye Enough's enough We cry Enough's enough Of smoke and steel Enough's enough Of turning this wheel
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
As I look back In that last act Far beyond the call of duty Did I stay strong? Did I give more? Far beyond the call of duty And I know, you know... now
