It's Over
Someone asked me last night if I was feeling blue
Someone asked me last night if I still thought of you
Well I didn't want to say, I didn't want to look a fool
And after all this time I really can't face the truth...
We'd made a good life filled with dreams and prayers
Filled with desire and our secret thoughts
And I don't know why you gave up on me
And I don't know why I gave up on you.
Chorus
And I can't hide any more from you
And I can't lie any more to you...
I saw you last night with someone new
Punched hard my heart broke in two
It's really over nothing more I can do
But it's too hard to face it should be me with you.
At the station a train awaits
Another life lies beyond the ticket gate
I look around hope to see your face
But just an empty platform just an empty space.

Reception Fading

Reception Fading
Gone, lost in the fog
No laser beam guiding you back home again
Gone, as you slip away
Sliding down the quay of your lost memory
Search, searching to recall
The journey home to all the people you once knew and you once loved.
Chorus
Stepping through the looking glass to the other side
Neither here, neither there in a frightening world
Looking through the family album for faces lost
Just strangers who have been erased and time's forgot
Gone, going back in time
Heading back to childhood, back to places long forgot
Lost in shadows
Neurons scattered, disconnected...memories fractured, unconnected.
Hard to watch you fade
Fade away, day by day, lost in space and time
Cruel...self destruct
The black hole in your mind, sucking all the light away
Try to keep you close
Turn the dial, stay in tune, reception fading all the time.

Kingdom Of Mourne
In the Kingdom of Mourne, we climbed mountains at night
A chance to escape the sectarian rite
Moonlight cracks darkness, Shannagh silvers below
Then on to Ben Crom to pitch for the night
The trouble is over, a chance for peace
Smiles upon faces, of people who're free
It's good to be back home again...
Back in the Mournes, a lifetime has passed
Lost memory returns of climbing mountains at night
Life has returned here, the future is bright
Don't look back to the past, climb up to the light
The trouble is over, a chance for peace
Smiles upon faces, of people who're free
It's good to be back home again...

Time's Up
Time plays its trick, it's deceit we learn too late
Gives too much when we're young, robs us when we're old
The years slip by, the future closes in
We're surprised when it's gone and wonder what we've done.
Chorus
Then one day, we wake and remember...
How we danced when we were young
How there was time to chase dreams
How we danced when we were young
How there was time...
There is no present, there is no future
Just the past happening over & over, again & again
Well that's what Eugene says, was he right that time isn't real
It's a virtual scaffold, an abstract we lose forever.
Dreams get forgotten by grown up reality
Like droids we tow the line, we said we'd never cross
Don't forget life's promise, don't retreat to conformity
Remember time is ourselves, reflected endlessly.

Trying Too Hard
I never should have said the things I said, in the way I did
A moment of madness, Greek tragedy sadness, I lost the plot
And you...you looked at me as if I was someone else
Not quite believing, deceived and reeling...you turned away lost.
Chorus
Oh, I know it's true...
It's the everyday things that matter
Like easy fun and laughter
It's the simple stuff we take for granted
Those little things that always happen
The awkward silence and vacant stares are hard to penetrate
What's the way back, too hard to pay back when you feel such a fool
Trying, trying too hard to make it alright
That always backfires, seems to light fires, the ones we thought were out.
A surprise moment of shared humour breaks a smile
Tentative probing, soft words are spoken, it's been a while
And you...you look at me with a curious eye
I look back, desperate to take back all the things I said.

Flag Of Hate

Flag of Hate
The devil went to church, bowed his head and knelt to pray
The souls at Emanuel smiled and welcomed him with open arms
He sat with silent hate, he spoke with an evil stare
Then the devil stood and aimed his gift and shot down a dozen black souls.
Chorus
Down in Charlestown, nine candles burn
They'll burn forever, so we don't forget
That the stain of hatred, is in a past to be forgot
That our future will be colour blind.
Concealed behind a flag of hate, the devil craved a colour war
He wanted to turn the clock back, to segregate...to subjugate
God's country hides its racist heart, pretends it's not black & white
But race still taints the King's dream and corrupts equality.
Abel's strange fruit still hangs and Mississippi burns again
The gun has replaced the rope, become our modern day lynching
Again a nation searches its young soul, too many guns, but no controls
The price for gun liberty is gun horror...is it time to find another way.

Eclipse
The moon danced with the sun today
Casting magic across the world
Twilight painted the fading sky
A miracle above our heads
Chorus
Oh sweet Carina, I saw you dance today
You twirled, you swayed, you spun, you took my heart away
How lucky can I be, as I look up to see
Eclipsed by the moon, the sun...smiled today.
A ring of diamond bursts into view
Soon the sun and moon dance face to face
For a moment the world stands still
Spellbound by the wonder in space.
It's not always been easy...we've had our doubts along the way
But when we dance together...I know we're here to stay
Nightfall and the moon hangs low
Dripping blood red in a starlit bowl
All's quiet now, as we move slow
A dance for two in the moonlit glow

Chain Reaction
Don't feel too bad, things change over time
It's not your fault, do the maths it always rhymes
It's time to shut up shop, bolt the door no entry
You got to be grown up, deal with the situation.
Chorus
We never see the chain reaction, when love explodes inside our heads
It runs away until meltdown, until we're lying in our beds
And why is balance never enough, why do we always tip the scales
Just like a chain reaction...we're heading for meltdown
Our terms have changed, what was then, is not now
We can't go on doing what we used to do
It's time to give it up regardless of the cost
This pleasure has to stop, you've got to suck it up
Just like a chain reaction... we're heading for meltdown
Just like a chain reaction... we're heading for meltdown
Don't feel too bad, things change over time
It's not your fault, do the maths it always rhymes
It's time to shut up shop, bolt the door, no entry
You got to be grown up, deal with the situation.

Barcelona Boy
The Barcelona Boy was in the news today
Shot by a sniper, his mother by his side
Like many children he doesn't stand a chance
As Earth's coordinates spin their careless dance
Bullets ricochet as he escapes, terrified in the hands of fate
Some children live in fear...that tomorrow may not come.
They say it's complicated and hard to understand
Why holy warring tribes fight over holy land
They match each other's crimes to wash bloody hands
It's the children who don't stand a chance
Legitimate targets, there are no limits
All wars are bloody and all the bloody same.
Chorus
Let's build an ark and ghost them all way
Let's find a place, that brings them peace each day
Let's build an ark and ghost them all away
Let's find a place, that brings them peace each day...
Peshawar breaks our hearts and makes us all despair
Too many children lost to hatred and revenge
History fails to teach the lessons of the past
Hate brings more hate, death brings more death
Old testament justice, mindless violence
An eye for an eye, a child for a child.
Hand tied leaders chant platitudes by rote
They ignore atrocity where vested interests lie
Their endless peace treaties and dead end roadmaps
Just fuel the bitterness of those they should protect
Today's war child, tomorrow's fighter
An endless cycle of cruel insanity.

Brightness
There's a look in your eye
That takes my breath away
There's a moment when you smile
That makes me glad to say.
Chorus
If after all this time our light begins to fade...
It's the brightness underneath, that keeps on shining through
It's the brightness underneath, that I'll always see in you.
When storm clouds come
And words are misunderstood
And sometimes we forget
To say the things we should.
As the years pass by
We should remember why
When we first met
How we felt, each day was bright.

Colour Shift
It's hard to watch you when you're feeling dread
To watch you battle the demons in your head
But when you wake, lost in the storm
Take my hand...we'll find a way back home
Take my hand...we'll find a way back home.
You say you can't care when the colours shift
And what's the point when everything looks black
But when the darkness falls and day is night
Take my hand...we'll try to find the light
Take my hand...we'll try to find the light.
Your tears fix a frozen smile
A lost ghost who's haunting for a while
Lying lost and hidden in a dead still shroud
I won't let you see what this does to me
How I feel so useless, completely
And how I want more than anything...to set you free.
And when... the cruel thief returns
To rob your soul, to steal your life away
When you feel broken and can't face the day
Take my hand...we'll try to find a way
Take my hand...we'll try to find a way
Take my hand...we'll try to find a way.
