Fog of War

This life we live
Is a great fire zone
We learn to march as one
And still we stand alone
Hard for me to turn, and face the pain
That lingers inside me
Won't go away
It comes in like a violent storm
And I keep holding on
And then calm
Mortar rains
And drowns the sky
There's a cloud of confusion
When we don't see eye to eye
Ghosts of the past reappear again
Faces we once knew
Are so real, and then
They're still haunting you
They pass right through
And then they're gone...
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll see you there
I'll see you there
I'll see you there
I'll see you there
This life we live
Is a great battle zone
We've learned to love
And still we stand alone
Brothers divided in their hearts
Children, their world torn apart
Still cut through the fog
To where the air is clear
And I'll see you there
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I'll see you there
I'll see you there
In this fog of war
Love make me strong
In this fog of war
Love make me strong
Cause it takes its toll on me.

Surrender
04:49
|

|
I always feel the same
When we can't work it out
I should have called you
I should have surrendered
I always feel the shame
When the lights flicker out and fade
I shouldn't have come back
I shouldn't have lost myself
In a game of right and wrong
Where wrong isn't always right
I can't be strong
And now, I surrender
It used to matter how
We would get along
Now it feels like we're strangers
And strange is the calm
It's not innocence we lost
In the dark
No one is innocent
At the dawn
Now I'm here for you
Now, I'm here for you
Now, I'm here for you
I surrender
I surrender

You're The Mystery
06:11
|

What can you see
When the light is not your own
The faces you meet
The basis of feelings you wish were left alone
I'm on the street
Collecting pieces
In whispers that remain unknown
Its hard to conceive of your direction
When you roam
The emptiness feeds
How can it be
You need to leave to find your home
What you are, keeps taking me
What you feel, means you can't be that far
You are the mystery
You are the missing piece that hides from me
You fade, when I see you in the water
It's you that I need to meet
Or is this just fantasy
You're drifting away
And I watch you go
I miss you
You say you know
Then you're gone
What do you need
You're taking me
And I don't know where you'll lead
You are the mystery
You are the missing piece, you hide from me
And I know you want to be on the water
But I still hope you see me
You are the mystery
You are the missing piece that hides in me
You see the pain in my eyes
And you feel the hopelessness I feel
When I wake up early in the morning
From my dreams
That always seem to leave a hole
Well you got to know
That you got to me
Can we try to see
That there is more for you and me
But you're letting go
Where do you want to go
what do you want to know
Where do you want to go
What do you want to be
Well do we believe enough?
Don't let go of you and me
You're the mystery
You're the mystery
You're the mystery
You're the best part of me
Don't let go.
You're the mystery

Fault Lines
04:37
|
|||
|
You want me to blame
For the tension that you think you know
Lurking deep inside of you
You, you want me to explain
Forgive the noises that you think you hear
Echoing right in front of you
They're not your fault
You, you're trying to contain
Forces splitting away
Shifting right from under you
They're not your fault
When the ground shakes
You need something to hold on to
When your heart breaks
You need something to hold on to
Who can you fault?
When the ground shakes
You need something to hold on to
When the Earth quakes
You're looking for something to hold on to
You do
You do

Letters for Burma

June
You're keeping your distance again
In silence
You find resistance in a pen
Are you feeling helpless in your fight?
So helpless now, can you help someone
October
The rain pours down for days
The home we long for seems so far away
Still we say we're not afraid
To stay in this fight
Kiss the cold as we say goodnight
Say, say what's changed in your heart
Save, Save us form harm
You know what it means
To lose yourself
Say which side your on
(Don't say goodnight)
Words of peace
Rest uneasy in your hand
Is power ruled by fear
'Cause freedom comes with power to do what's right
And still we send, these letters home
We won't say goodbye
Say, say what's changed in your heart
Save, save us from harm
You know what this means
Don't lose yourself
Say the time has come
Say, say what's changed in your heart
Save, save us from harm
You know what this means
Don't lose yourself
Say we're truly one

Rain on Me
04:26
|

|
Take a walk
Hear the talk
You've heard it all before
You never really seem to want to close the door
She slams at you
The rain it falls
Takes everything you have
The devils preach
Escape just to be bad
Tense the scene
Triggers smoke
Cry like a weeping bird
Cloud rolls by
A baby's cry is all you ever heard
Blind my be
A monkey's tail
A table full of art
She calls you dummy
Try to run
Trying to be smart
Rain on me
Rain on me
You know that I want more
You close the door behind me
And fall apart on the floor
You know I want more
You close the door behind me
And fall apart on the floor
Take a walk
Hear the talk
You've heard it all before
You never really seem to want to close the door
She slams at you
The rain it falls
Takes everything you have
The devils preach
Escape just to be bad
Intense the scene
Triggers smoke
Cry like a weeping bird
Cloud rolls by
A baby's cry is all you ever heard
Blind my best
A monkey's tail
A table full of art
She calls you dummy
Try to run
Trying to be smart
Rain on me
Rain on me

Decline of the Empire
04:34
|

|
Take these shoes
I don't think I need them
Take this shirt
It's stained cause I'm bleeding
They don't mean that much
To me anymore
Free this mind
It's trapped always believing
Who's the blame
When we know they way it's been going
Help me wash
Away these stains
We thought we had it all
What we build
We watch it crumble away
The decline of the empire
Is coming on
When the mighty fumble
And you can't run
When you feel like everything you know
Has been taken away
Well take it slow
The decline of the empire
It's coming on
When the mighty crumble
You should run
And steal back everything you've lost
And then take it slow
We'll take it slow

I always feel the same
When we can't work it out

In a game of right and wrong
Where wrong isn't always right

Now I'm here for you
Now, I'm here for you
Now, I'm here for you
I surrender

The Future
04:38

Don't talk too much about the future
Don't go burying your head in the snow
We talk a lot about the future...
And all the things that we can't know
That's one thing about the the future
It's not for us to know
We think a lot about the future
Where we'll go and where we'll be
Baby, Don't be scared of the future
And all the things that we can't see
Tat's one thing ahout the future.
There's no thougth about what ight have been
There's no particular hurry
We'll get there when we can
We won't be scared of the future
And all the things that we can be
That's one thing about the future
It's written for you and me
Hold on
Hold on
For the future
Hold on
For you and me
Hold on
Hold on
Hold on for the future
Hold on
Hold on to you and me
That's one thing about the future
It's written by you and me.
