1. NO EASY ANSWER

No easy answers
Come to me
That I can see

No easy answers
Were close at hand
When i began
To ask the questions one by one
So all the loose ends stay undone

An easy answer
Could help me out
Relieve my doubt

Is there an answer
Or will I be
Never to see
The light that shines at jorney's end
Or will I just go around again

You know it's always easy to say
You've gotta take it day by day
But sometimes it can be hard...

You know the answer's undefined
It's only ever in your mind


2. YOU ARE THE ONE

When i'm on my own
And out of my mind
I realise how i've grown,
And changed my old line

Learning how to give
And not be afraid,
Of the place where i live
And mistakes i have made

You are the one
Changing my life
You are the one
Making it right
You are the one
Warming my nights
You are the one

You are the one
Giving me all
You are the one
Opening doors
You are the one
Hearing my call
You are the one

Looking 'round I can see
You are still here
Not in sight but in me
Your being appears


3. HEROES

Image of mine are you just a myth?
Aiming for the stars and a need to exist
Singing your life to its final bar,
Staging all the scenes to avoid who you are

Idol of mine will you lead me on?
Build for me the dreams that i'm longing to own
Make me secure - be my fallacy
You are all my world if for only today

And live for evermore...

Heroes i call for you!
Legend to feed my heart and soul
Heroes i cry for you!
Legend will blees your heart of soul


4. SELVA (instrumental)


5. LULLABYE

This is just a song
To help you through the night
Just like a lullabye
And if you're not strong
And everything ain't right,
This is my lullabye


6. SASQUATCH (instrumental)


7. MANIC

One day I'm up next day i'm down,
I run from duck to dawn
The paranoia seizes me
The nightmares carry on

I'm looking on the bright side
You're looking on the wrong side
You really don't know which side
A devious dream in my mind

But there is no way out and yesss
The dye is casting thin
Between the line and razor edge
They crystalise the end

I'm looking on the dark side
You're looking on the outside
You'll never know what's inside
A face to erase what you find

I know what I'm doing
I'm feeling so fine now
Sorry I worried you
Thumbs up truly,
I'm okay I though today
I haven't had a drink for, say,
An age, and yes I'm feeling fit
A day in which I'm never sick
With both ends on the candle lit

There is no way out and
I can never be my friend
The enemy i fear is me,
So where does it all end...


8. CAMELOGUE

Standing on the crosswalk
Wonder which direction to go
Listen to the smalltalk
Claiming how they told me so

I improvise,
Have to keep going for the song and the road
A lonely rise,
Now i'm relying on a song of my own

Early on detected
Trouble had divided in two
Acting unaffected
Reflecting on the things i do

A solo rise,
Have to keep going for the song and the road
Temptation sighs,
Leave us a memory we've loved and known

Fighting the lead
I was so confused
Feeling so accused

A solo rise
Have to keep going for the song and the road
Temptation sighs,
Leave us a memory we've loved and known
What can i do?


9. TODAY'S GOODBYE

Closing my eyes reliving a time when love was strong
Feelin' your change of heart a sign when love went wrong
I'm tired of analysing everything you say,
Trying to hold on to what went before the day,
We threw it away

It seems now there isn't any need to keep hangin' on
The mood in the night of a lonely room has gone on too long
I've looked from every angle I have found and yet,
Trying to hold on and pick up the pieces we've left
Or try to forget

Today's
(A last chance to decide)
Goodbye
(Unless you change your mind)
And I won't ask again
I never could pretend
Today's
(A last chance to decide)
Goodbye
(Unless you change your mind)
But I won't ask again,
Oh no,
No I won't ask again

I've looked from every angle I have found and yet,
Trying to hold on and pick up the pieces we've left
Or try to forget


10. A HEART'S DESIRE

The light is fading
The cause invading
All the hopes that you were building
On tomorrow
Now you must go

So stretch your wings,
As nature sings
Her farewell lullabye to soothe you
Through the changes
When you must go

The gift is knowing
Your strength in going
When the time has gone beyond
Your heart's desire,
And you must go
