A foreign lion wants to eat my head A foreign lion wants to buy my soul The keepers don't do their job They don't deserve my trust How can I escape, how can, how can I? A crisis is an opportunity, God help us understand I need to know that together we'll make things right The lion is making a living at my strain He wants to extend this to my descendance So call out the wolfpack, unite so we won't be devided Let the cleansing begin, united we can win A crisis is an opportunity, God help us understand I need to know that together we'll make things right A crisis is an opportunity, God help us understand I need to know that together we'll make things right

Crossfire 03:36
I know that no one's asking me to choose But I feel so confused oh When I try to do something more to make things right They get even worse Oh If it is like this inside a family oh Just imagine trying to lead a country Why can't you cooperate with me It's the only way to grow When I try to give you my hand or to ask your help You give me your back Oh If it is like this inside a family oh Just imagine trying to lead a country If it is like this inside a family oh Just imagine trying to lead a country I forgive but sadly I know things will never change I forgive but sadly I know things will never change I forgive but sadly I know things will never change If it is like this inside a family oh Just imagine trying to lead a country If it is like this inside a family oh Just imagine trying to lead a country

The Forest 03:14
Do you think they will forget, do you think time will swallow your shame? You hope not to be called to answer for such a cowardly crime As you say we are infected, as you say we are infected As you say we are infected, as you say we are infected How could you lye and pull the trigger against men who refused to fight How could you be such a deceiver, lying about the where and why As you say we are infected, as you say we are infected As you say we are infected, as you say we are infected As you say we are infected, as you say we are infected As you say we are infected, as you say we are infected And I will spread oh the word about men killed in their back The word about men, for as long as I can

In The Dark 04:21
I cannot believe that you would allow that one would pay for another's fault I cannot believe that you would let them feed themselves from the light I have But it is my fear that opens their way to me as I shine in the dark My only hope is you, my only strength is you, my only hope is you, oh my only strength is you I cannot believe that you would allow that one would pay for another's fault No need to do it now cause it ended long ago when one died for us all My only hope is you, my only strength is you, my only hope is you, oh my only strength is you I know you created a shield around me My only hope is you, my only strength is you, my only hope is you, oh my only strength is you Whatever lives in the dark it cannot touch me cause now you've got me The shield is sealed forever more around me

There’s a stone in my shoe, a stone in my shoe Don’t come close to my table if it is to annoy me I’m so mad at you but it cannot be shown I must keep the smile on, the show must go on And your stupid way of being an atheist is making me sick Making me sick Don’t come close to my table if it is to annoy me Twenty first century and you’re harassing me because of what I am, because of what believe What do you want from me? What kind of person are you? I like to hang out with you, it’s true But your morality is so different from mine I cannot understand your wicked point of view I’m here watching you speak and I still can’t decide If I truly like you or if I despise you I cannot decide oh I can’t decide This is so serious, how can you be so shallow? Where is your heart? Oh where is your soul? Don’t come close with that speech to make me feel ashamed You talk and you talk and I feel more confused But I now I’m right because is what I feel inside What do you want from me? What kind of person are you? I like to hang out with you, it’s true But your morality is so different from mine Don’t think that I owe something You haven’t given me nothing You haven’t given me nothing You haven’t given me nothing If I am a stone in your shoe the same thing applies to you If I am a stone in your shoe the same thing applies to you (Oh what do you want?)

Come Holy Ghost and bring from above the splendor of Thy light Come Father of the poor, come Giver of graces, come Light of our hearts Best of consolers, sweet Guest of the soul and comfort of the weary Thou rest in labor, relief in burning toil, consoling us in sorrow Oh blessed light, fill the innermost hearts of those who trust in Thee Without Thy indwelling there is nothing in light and nothing free of sin Cleanse what is sordid, give water in dryness and heal the bleeding wound Bend what is proud, make warm what is cold, bring back the wayward soul (Holy Spirit, burning love) (Holy Spirit, burning love) Give to the faithful who trustingly beg Thee Thy seven holy gifts Grant virtue reward, salvation in death and everlasting joy Cleanse what is sordid, give water in dryness and heal the bleeding wound Bend what is proud, make warm what is cold, bring back the wayward soul Bring back the wayward soul, bring back the wayward soul

As insects feed from my flesh it occurs me that dark ones feed from my soul when I lose control In a sad summer night I've discovered that this dark weakness hides in me and struggles to be free Fear of myself, I fear for myself If you wish to be pure you've got to be part of whom is alive above the doomed Oh to be pure you need to be connected So I went to your place, got on my knees, I prayed so much so you would purify my soul White dots are filling my eyes, they're all I can see but what is a little sacrifice to get some purity Fear of myself, I fear for myself If you wish to be pure you've got to be part of whom is alive above the doomed Oh to be pure you need to be connected Now I see God, I can see God, Now I see God, I can see God Now I see God, I can see God, Now I see God, I can see God Now I see God, I can see God, Now I see God, I can see God Now I see God, I can see God Halos against the dark, Halos against the dark Halos against the dark, Halos against the dark Halos against the dark Halos in the dark, halos glowing in the dark Halos in the dark, halos glowing in the dark If you wish to be pure you've got to be part of whom is alive above the doomed Oh to be pure you need to be connected Oh you need to be connected

Left Alone 03:01
My love for you is strong like a stone, like the sea Like a horse running free through the night Do you remember? It was love at first sight My love for you is pure and divine, we are linked And I can't erase it from my heart But I can't stand the pain, it was you the one who left the game Sometimes it feels so hard, sometimes it feels so lonely I've been rowing this boat alone, on my own Can't you see that you're needed here? Sometimes it feels so hard, sometimes it feels so lonely I've been rowing this boat alone, on my own Can't you see that you're needed here?

You are my best friend, you are the best of men When I was sad you were there, when I was crazy you didn't leave Oh it's so good to feel your love Oh it's so good to know it's already there Waiting for me to wake, waiting for me to connect Waiting for me to wake, waiting for me to connect You are my path, my truth, my life, my soul And in you I am free You are my guide, you are human and divine Everything you do is true, there is no evil in you Oh it's so good to feel your strength Oh it's so good to know you're here by my side Waiting for me to wake, waiting for me to connect Waiting for me to wake, waiting for me to connect You are my path, my truth, my life, my soul And in you I am free I know you, I trust you, I'm free in you And I've been given all that back tenfold My path, my truth, my life, my soul And in you I am free Oh my path, my truth, my life, my soul And in you I am free

The Promise 03:47
His eyes are windows to the sky oh his eyes're full of knowledge I've forgotten oh I prayed for nine days, I've promised seven turns around that power spot, that symbol of your love I put all my trust in you oh Please, save my little one His eyes are still immersed in wisdom, wisdom Of stars and light, other worlds oh So I got down on my knees, I took the boy on my lap And I fulfilled the promise made, it was sealed in sacrifice I put all my trust in you oh Please, save my little one I beg and beg and beg Save my little one
