Spirit of fire.
Heart of a Lion.
Set your mind on the direction,
Let your heart be the guide.
I will forget problems, find answers,
consider new solutions.
Today. I will remember that I called yesterday today.
Set your mind on the direction,
Let your heart be the guide.
New dreams, silent visions,
Sometimes awake, sometimes asleep.
Inner woven hopes, the chance to build,
The chance to rid our old selves of old ways.
Set your mind on the direction,
Let your heart be the guide.
Echoing sounds...
Searching for the things,
You would not give.
Is it a crime to want to live?
All my soul I give,
To make up for whatever made it wrong.
Echoing sounds...
Why cry when the tears we shed,
Add to the weight that we must carry?
Yesterday's dream - yesterday.
Set your mind on the direction,
Let your heart be the guide.
Oh, heart of a lion.
Set your heart on the direction,
Let your heart be the guide.
Standing around wondering,
What to do?
Your body's a wreck,
And your mind is too.
They put you on hold for so long.
You're wasting away,
while you scream - I'm Strong.
The unity of the members,
Gives the body strength.
When you can't hold your brother's hand,
Your might has been dismissed.
(Backing vocals repeat):
You got a heart of a lion,
Spirit of fire.
You perish without a vision
So the picture must be plain.
You must come together on one accord,
The power of torrential rain.
Dope I tried it,
Found out I was one.
Changed to what?
Don't know yet.
Better than what was,
Not as good as what will be.
A long time getting here,
A longer time getting back.
Long time getting here,
A longer time getting back.
A lot of bridges burned,
River of time still flows.
I guess I'll follow it.
Until time to cross over.

Go ahead
All for naught
Cannot win
We'll never lose
What we choose
If it's all the same to you
Hold onto
What is real
The world you know is done
One more time
For all our sakes
Find it from within
What's at stake
And what's that state you're in
Saw it all begin
Saw it all begin
Gotta say
Can't explain
Away
Wandering thoughts
Too insane to stay
Gone away
In there you lay
Away
Wandering thoughts
Too ingrained to stay
Found a way
To leave here and
Escape
Wandering thoughts
Too amazed to stay
One more time
Listen down
Be here now
All I know
You will never leave
If it's all the same to you

Here for the moment
Oceans away
What else is a neighbor
But a stranger who stays
How do you know
Where a person goes
They go where they go
To a point unknown
Taste the fruits of stillness
A gateway to truth
(Opens for us)
Through pursuits of truth we
Accept ourselves
(Accepting others)
How many thoughts are fresh
With new ideas?
(Repeated cycles)
These lines are drawn in sand
Designed to bite the hand
Can only serve the past
Here for the moment
Flying away
They go where they go
To a point unknown
What else is a neighbor
But a stranger who stays
Finding hope
In the path they made
A divide grows deep
Through fear and pride
(See beyond yourself)
Common roots denied again
Blinded by lies
(Separate Stardust)
You tell it like it is
As if it always will be
How do you know?
Flying away

Tried to tame
The urban jungle
Built to pass
Generations by
The third pillar
Comes into focus
Through the looking glass
See the other side
If we only see
What is shown
How can we know
How can we know
If we only hear
What is told
How can we grow
How can we grow
A consensus to
Sentence the senses
Feel beyond
Your own skin
In empathy
Profess community
Say it again and again
If we only see
What is shown
How can we know
How can we know
If we only hear
What is told
How can we grow
How can we grow

Ah I'm sorry
Yeah I'm a little shaky
What's your job
My job, uh
It's a living
How do I feel about my job
Do I think the government
Has more power than corporations
Instant communication
Without it we wouldn't be
Nearly what we are today
If you'd have asked me that question
A few years ago I would have said no
But today I would say definitely yes
Privacy? Um
Loneliness
As human beings
Need better leadership
The rich, government, corporations
Have power in society
Who has the power
Not the people
Well I think it's terrific
Very good
Confusion
We can't be helped
O.D. on information
What? What? I don't understand
Too much
I think we're an information oriented society
The telecommuncations
That's expanding as rapidly as it is
You just can't get away from it
Who has the power?
Who has the power?
The computer
That's what we're working on now
Help, help
What do you think of the corporations
They're devious
Why? They have so much influence
Over you
What's the first thing that
Comes into your head
Hahahaha
Privacy
O.D on information.
Confusion
What? What? I don't understand
The rich, government, corporations
Have power in society
Who has the power?
Who has the power?
See, I didn't know we were in the information society
Paperwork. Paperwork? Ah, paperwork
Do I have a lot of paperwork
Information Society

Something feels
Not quite right
You're stuck in a dream
Can't seem to
Put a finger on it
In your mind it seems
Air goes still
Thoughts are misplaced
So unclear
Just empty space
Can't even think
Can't even think
Lost in a spin
You are
Lost in a spin
Hold on
Lost in a spin
Your mind is gone
So surreal
Oh so strange
Nothing's as it seems
(Nothing's as it seems)
Can't seem to
Wrap your head around this
Everlasting gleam
(Nothing's as it seems)
Air goes still
Thoughts go quiet
So damn clear
Sound of silence
Lost in a spin
You are
Lost in a spin
Hold on
Lost in a spin
Your mind is gone
Have, hold and hear
The fleeting sounds
Fall to the clouds
Upside down
Been here before
You can be sure
You can be sure
Lost in a spin
You are
Lost in a spin
Hold on
Lost in a spin
Your mind is gone
(You can be sure)
Lost in a spin
(Your mind is gone)
I'm lost in a spin
