Magnum Album

I looked the lights as it faded fast
Where am I going, no one tells me
A journey far beyond my dreams
Everyone knowing no one can see

Beneath me flows a silver sea
Deeper than ever, take me over
Above me miles and miles of sky
Forbidden treasure don't grow older

How could it take so long to decide?
Now I've made up my mind, to sail for
Great adventure, claim your lonely years
Great adventure, save your only tears

Across the universe we reach further
Until we've found what we are seeking
Within ourselves our future lies waiting
For a solution, none repeating

With every word I hear, there's no sympathy
It was destroyed and swept away
It is replaced by something I can't see
To stay forever and always

We really should try and talk it out
Avoid the same mistake again
But I can see there will be no doubt
Looks like we have reached the end

I'm going through changes, so many changes
I'm losing my senses, don't know what to do
I'll go through my changes, faster than you

Is there no one who feels the same as me?

Move like the wind, burn like the sun
Cool like the rain, fool everyone
Fly like a bird, steal like a fox
Jump like the clown, pull like the ox

Be like the storm, scream to the gods
Hide all your fears, oh, brother of dogs
Crimson the blood of soldier and lord
None to excuse, death the reward

Still they are quickly falling
Down on their knees, they're crawling
Now there will be no morning
There'll be no new day dawning for me

Where do we go? Where do we go from here?
Where do we go? Where do we go from here?

Friday night is almost over
Not a word has passed between
And before I get much older

I know if I could live forever
Nothing would change to better
Nothing will change at all
You gave me your love to last me forever I know
You gave me your love to last me wherever I go

Now the world did sell so cheaply
For the price of just a kiss
Why should anyone believe me?

If again, he should embrace you
Would you follow him or stay?
Could you take what you would go through?

Why am I here in this lonely dark room?
Did I do something or acted too soon?
The dogs they howl, the prisoners do cry
A king is born but a poor man he will die

I believe if you look through you window
Try reaching out to the rainbow
You will find he was stolen by shadows

Time will tell if I did speak out of turn
Then I'll know it was a lesson well learned
I hear no sound, though I see before my eyes
A faceless wave in a desert I despise

But I know it's only for a moment
And the moment goes so fast
And the seconds of the future
Are the seconds of the past

'Cause it all goes in circles and ends where it started
And the journey is familiar, 'though you think it's uncharted
You could have easily been this way a hundred times before

As another day passed, I secretly hide
All the funny feelings from deep down inside
Still I can but wonder how everyone knows
How they can believe in the thorn but no rose
Somebody ought to show them how to see
Somebody ought to tell them how to be free

I am a wheel that keeps turning
Cast out on a journey unending
This serves me well
Because I know I'm a seeker of fortune
None can explain or can foretell

Starlight on an ocean unbroken
Soft winds will refuse to be woken
All remains the same
And just like a silvery fountain
Comes from nowhere and back again

So cold the night that darkens every waking hour
Let me in, I shall devour all within
I hear the sound, the earth does tremble at my feet
Skies explode, at last we meet, anger flows

So sad
So sad

The wings that flew me here were glad
Like before I've never had
But there's always tomorrow
Strange dreams of sorrow

Deny me now, a thousand years would serve me well
But for me, who can tell? Who can see?
I ride the storm of tearful faces wrapped in pain
Here I am, am I to blame, if I ran?

No more footsteps, I'm alone
From her sad eyes, tears are falling
Once again I'm on my own
Through the wind I hear her calling

Many days have come and gone
At the thought of me returning
Will I be the only one?
Was the lesson worth learning?

Foolish heart, you've let me down
Foolish heart, turn me around
Foolish heart, don't break in two
Foolish heart, where are you?

Thinking now it has begun
Time to wind up all the hours
The biggest fools under the sun
Are locked away in empty towers

Foolish heart, you've let me down
Foolish heart, turn me around
Foolish heart, don't break in two
Foolish heart, I'm relying on you

Choose your own path that you walk with great care
Your direction will be yours alone to bear
But though it may be long and many times go wrong
You're on your own, this journey none can share

And there is no other way of staying alive
Just killing time, nowhere to hide
Staying alive, can you decide?
It's always harder where two roads divide

And before us lies a choice that's not too clear
Many voices offer words upon you ear
And running through your head are some best left unsaid
Don't listen just to things you'd like to hear

Heading slowly through still waters
But it's always growing shorter
Throw your dreams away

None of us on this earth will be here
On our children, will the sentence be severe?
But still we carry on doing what we've done
An explanation I just can't see clear

The secret torn from a temple of stone
Still living in memory, grey and so cold
Beneath the veil of the mystery lies
Dark promises telling all, none can withhold
Though she carries a thousand scars
On her journey between the stars

Too late, I fear, is to understand now
We must have been here before, long, long ago
The faces change but the image remains
All present and powerful, this does show
And they can't see before their eyes
How the thunder will split the skies

Firebird, firebird
Firebird, firebird

And when the changes come
See the eagle on my horizon
Well, they're coming for everyone
But it seems to be long arriving

A mother scorned but a widow she stays
And when you return again, you, you will see
The craven house of the greedy does rule
Queen vanity everywhere bleeds treachery
For the heroes of luck will decide
On the chosen one who will survive

Now everything's gone my way
I'm a king among men
I did what the people say
With the sword not the pen

All of my life, all of my life, all of my life, I gave it away
All of my life, all of my life, all of my life, I gave it away
Threw it all away

I constitute all that's left
The brave and the wild
All gone to seek endless rest
Their sleep unspoiled

And now the water falls, the mountain calls
I'd give you all of these
For now the war is won and I am done
No use am I in peace, peace

Now at last I can understand
Why I am alone
I recognise not this land
My eyes have grown old
They've grown old
