1. BEYOND THE PALE

Cold still waters running deep
Pale before the eyes
Ravaged
By the hands that feed
Thunder clouds the skies
Drifting with the tide
Floating with the stream
The howling winds have gathered strength
From a whisper to a scream
Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just one last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Heed to Neptune's calling deceived in fable and lore
Learn from treacherous bibles
Of murder, hate and war
Searching for the tears
In an ocean of rain
The yearning of the raging sea beckons once again
Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just one last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Gathering of the storm
And the winds are blowing wild
Sweeping over cross and creed, country, colour and child
Mother nature cries for love
Her children lost at sea
And as the waves take me away
Say a prayer for liberty
Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just one last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale


2. WING AND A PRAYER

Gypsy in my blood
And I lie where the myth is sold
Cross my palm with silver
And I'll give you my heart of gold
Steal away my crystal ball
And bring me in from the cold
And it's fair to say there's no comfort here
No hands to hold and treasure dear
You could very well be the very death of me
Crawling 'round your floor
On my hands and knees
All caution to the wind
Taken by the breeze
No grave concern for repercussion
No room for talk or brave discussion
Well I never
But the devil may care
I'm coming in
On a wing and a prayer
Snowbound daze
Leaves me high and dry
And I swear there's more to me than meets your hollow eyes
Throw me a line I'm sinking fast
I'm not yet willing to die
My secret's safe with you I trust
Show me faith and give me dust
Well I never
But the devil may care
I'm coming in
On a wing and a prayer
The devil always fools
With the best laid plans
And never can I meet
With all your choice demands
It goes against the grain
To place my life in your hands
I'll take the flak if you'll take the blame
Well I never
But the devil may care
I'm coming in
On a wing and a prayer
Well I never
But the devil may care
I'm coming in
On a wing and a prayer

4. HEAVEN ON EARTH

Ever
There's oceans between us
Take to the sea, take to the sea
There's heaven before us
Float on the waves, float on the waves
Pale moon lay belief on me,
Mother come give me birth
You give me heaven,
And I'll promise you the earth
Heaven
Lays on your pillow,
Sleep in your eyes, sleep in your eyes
Lays in the waiting
Steal every moment, hold every breath
Gentle heart beat as one,
Dream for the beauty of birth
You give me heaven
And I'll promise you the earth
I'll die for you, if the time ever came,
I'll kill for you and shoulder the blame,
I'd cry for you and never feel shame,
For the child is within you,
For the child is within
Precious
I want the earth for you
Precious
I hold out my hands to touch the sky
And only the pure go to heaven
Suffer the child unto you
Forever more
Heaven on earth
Bless me my godess of love
For all your blessing is worth
You give me heaven and I promise you the earth
I pray for the second coming
Worship you for the first
You give me heaven and I give you the earth
You give me heaven and I give you the earth
You gave me heaven and I give you the earth


5. TOWER OF STRENGH

You raise me up
When I'm on the floor
You see me through
When I'm lonely and scared
And I'm feeling true to the written word
And you're true to me
And still I need more
It would tear me apart
To feel no one ever cared
For me
For me
For me
You are a tower of strength to me
You stand firm and proud
When the wind blows in your face
And when the sun shines in your eyes
You just turn your head away
To me
To me
To me
You are a tower of strength to me
You rescue me
You are my faith
My hope
My liberty
And when there is darkness all around
You shine bright for me
You are the guiding light
To me
To me
To me
You are a tower of strength to me
You are all passion and heart
When I lay in your embrace
And heaven is in your kiss
Salvation lies just a touch away
To me
To me
To me
You are a tower of strength to me


6. KINGDOM COME

Desert rat cry me wolf
Shedding skin upon you lips
I pray
For the love of madness
for the hand that takes the grip
And we close our eyes
To forgive and forget
And we close our eyes
To forgive and forget
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come
I build myself a brave asylum
And ask all the madmen to play host
And when the colours all fade away
It's time for us to give the ghost
Give up the ghost
And we close our eyes
To dream a while
And we close our eyes
To dream a while
Dream a while
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come
And while we're talking in tongeus
Of animal behaviour
With a flick of the wrist you could've broken my heat
And done yourself a favour
And I cry in the heat
For the promised and given
The hand I once would trust
Now for the love of heaven
You won't see me
See me for dust
And we close our eyeas
To love again
And we close our eyes
To love again
Love again
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come
With bated breath for the kingdom come


7. BREATHE

I'm living in the hope
Of a breath to be shared
It's all I've ever watned
It's all I ever dared
So breathe
Breathe deep
Breathe
Breathe long and hard
Breathe with me
Breathe with me

10. BLACK MOUNTAIN MIST

Listen
To the silence
Of the breaking of my heart
From a lowly vale
To the rolling hills
You and I
Lie worlds apart
Time is catching my breath
As love bleeds slowly to death
Black mountain mist
Take me back again
Black mountain mist
Come carry me home
And sleep
Is stirring dreams
Of innocence and yesterday
When the sun shone bright
And high in the sky
And we lived in hope
Of come what may
Forever with laughter we cried
And the truth is never could we have lied
Black mountain mist
Take me back again
Black mountain mist
Come carry me home
And when the rain comes
To clear away the mist
Feel it's caress
Feel it's embrace
Feel it's wasting kiss
Black mountain mist
Take me back again
Black mountain mist
Come carry me home
Black mountain mist
Come carry me carry me home
Carry me carry me home

(Aerosmith cover)


12. HEAT

Let me lay waste with gentle persuasion
Let me lay down
To sweat in the heat
On the back of beyond we laugh at all reason
And in the light of it all
There's no need to retreat
And the heat comes down
And the heat comes down
And hand in hand
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
Save for the asking forture favours the brave
Let me take strength
From the child in your eyes
And between the lines we dance into the mirror
And a grateful embrace
Layes in wait for the sun to rise
And the heat comes down
And the heat comes down
And hand in hand
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
Please don't take it hard when
I give myself to you
And love will come easy
When you deign to swallow my pride
Before I ever touch your lips
You promise the very earth to me
And tender hearts and broken down
When you take me deep inside
And the heat comes down
And the heat comes down
And hand in hand
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
We melt in the heat
Melt in the heat


13. HYMN (FOR AMERICA)

I've felt the heat
In the city of Angels
Dust up on high
And the worse for wear
I've seen the lights
Going down on sunset
Madmen running loose
There's murder in the air
So this is America
Love colder than death
Working the streets
Love doesn't come cheap
So I learn how to steal
Religion for sale
Buy my way into heaven
Sell my soul for a trick
It's not worth a great deal
So this is America
I remember her smile and her virgin heart
I remember her tears tearing me apart
I remember my hands helpless and tied
As they led her away I remember I cried
I've put my life
In the hands of a scream
Small talked and less
With legends to be
But I carried a torch
For the child forbidden
And when the heat closed in
They crucified me
So this is America
Dreams don't come easy
Without any sleep
Laid wide eyed and weary
On this damned bed of nails
I hit the freeway
And step on the speed
Head for the desert
When madness prevails
So this is America
God bless you America
God bless you America
God bless you America
God bless you
America
