LYRICS:
I’ll tell you a story ‘bout Jack and the beanstalk
Jack’s an older guy but handy with his pitchfork
He had no home garden so he paid to get some gardening time
Searching for some fertile ground to plant his seed
This lady told him “Jack!, I got just what you need!”
“I got a flower bed you’ll find that tending it is quite sublime”
He got a little moisture in the flower bed
But his stalk wouldn’t grow, it seemed to be dead
She said “don’t worry Jack, I got a gard’ning tip that’ll make it all fine”

She said “Take this magic bean and you’re good to go
And in a little while it’ll start to grow
And soon you’ll be reaping all that you can sow
And you’ll have a green thumb, Fee Fi Fo Fum!”
(Fee Fi Fo Fum)

Just as she said the magic bean turned the tide
And Jack left the garden feeling satisfied
She said “you’re a gifted gardener Jack, come tend my garden anytime!”
But Jack didn’t know that besides his seed
Some else was planting and he left some weeds
And Jack had a rash and learned a hard lesson from his playtime

She said “Take this magic bean and you’re good to go
And in a little while it’ll start to grow
And soon you’ll be reaping all that you can sow
And you’ll have a green thumb, Fee Fi Fo Fum!”
(Fee Fi Fo Fum, Fee Fi Fo Fum)

SOLO

Oh Yeah!
She said “Take this magic bean and you’re good to go
And in a little while it’ll start to grow
And soon you’ll be reaping all that you can sow
And you’ll have a green thumb, Fee Fi Fo Fum!”
Fee Fi Fo Fum...

LYRICS:
8,000 years before, here on this sandy shore
Walked our forefathers here just trying to survive
If they were here today, they’d see we’ve gone astray
Destroy the world we live in so that we can strive

Nuclear race, atomic waste, forest erased, Stop!

We must change our way, stop throwing away
Too late for yesterday, but not too late today

Wake up, rise up, it’s up….to you
Stop relentless waste, end pollution haze
Before we find out there is no place left to roam
In our children’s home

All our technology, poured in weaponry
We kill our neighbors ‘cause of what they believe
Power from the air and sea, could be our destiny
But profit hungry ones pump oil to misconceive

Nuclear race, atomic waste, forest erased, Stop!

We must change our way, stop throwing away
Too late for yesterday, but not too late today

Wake up, rise up, it’s up….to you
Stop relentless waste, end pollution haze
Before we find out there is no place left to roam
In our children’s home

SOLO

We must speak in protest, abuse of man’s progress
We realize it wrong but feel a helpless fate
I’m one of a ten billion, how can I change what’s done
One voice that water drop that opens the flood gate

Nuclear race, atomic waste, forest erased, Stop!

Wake up, (wake up)
Rise up, (rise up)
It’s up….to you
Stop relentless waste, end pollution haze
Before we find out there is no place left to roam
In our children’s home

Children's Home

LYRICS:
Blind in the dark
I lit the fuse
Your crystal wall
Now sings the blues
 
Blow your world apart
Shaft through your heart
I could run
But what's the use

Sit by myself
I dream a flood
Your boat drifts out
Sinks in the mud
 
Twist my thorns to a crown
Reach out still you go down
You bathe red 
In tears of blood
 
In a bed of roses
You lay me down
Sit and twist my thorns
To form a crown
Pointed sharp
I know your heart they'll bleed
When you find I can't give you
What you need

Your feet touch the water
I see you going down
You see me walk the waves
My head a thorny crown
 
But it's not true
I'm no good for you
Pink daydreams
I've painted brown
 
In a bed of roses
You lay me down
Sit and twist my thorns
To form a crown
Pointed sharp
I know your heart they'll bleed
When you find I can't give you
What you need

I rubbed salt
In your bleeding wound
To stop infection
I fed you red-hot coals

Crown Of Thorns

LYRICS:
The sum of all your fears
Coming into light
Blood, sweat and tears
Wasted in this fight
One step from demise
Hanging from a rope
The sum of your fears
The end of hope

Luck and faith
Combine
Fate gives a sign
The sum of all my fears
The sum of my fears
Be mine

Creatures everywhere
Pull you deep into
A sea of despair
Time you come to
Swim for the shore
While you can be saved
Leave all behind
In the watery grave

Luck and faith
Combine
Fate gives a sign
The sum of all my fears
The sum of my fears
Be mine
Be mine

SOLO

The sum of all yours fears
The sum of all yours fears
The sum of all yours fears
The sum of all yours fears

Luck and faith
Combine
Fate gives a sign
The sum of all my fears
The sum of my fears
Be mine
Be mine

Sum Of All Fears

LYRICS:
In your darkest hours
In your times of need
It’ll watch over you as you plead
For relief
From the pain
And remind you
It’s just too late
Confine you
To your fate
To your fate

Every step
It’ll be your guide
Karma will be there
Right by your side
And you’ll
Never, never, never
Be alone
Never alone

No place to hide
Nowhere to go
It will find you
And let you know
To redeem
What you owe
With a lifetime
Interest rate
Confining you
To your fate
To your fate

Every step
It’ll be your guide
Karma will be there
Right by your side
And you’ll
Never, never, never
Be alone
Never alone
Never alone

Never alone…(ad lib to end)

Never Alone

LYRICS:
It’s just trick of the mind
Don’t believe what you see
(Don’t believe what you see)
Ignore all the signs
Just listen to me
(Just listen to me)

But everything you perceive
You shouldn’t believe

Don’t be hypnotized
You can see
Through your mind’s eye
Your mind’s eye
You’d be well advised
To see life
Through your mind’s eye
Your mind’s eye
Your mind’s eye

Out of sight
Is not out of your mind
You’re not out of your mind
That voice inside is callin’
Don’t leave it behind

But everything you perceive
You shouldn’t believe

Don’t be hypnotized
You can see
Through your mind’s eye
Your mind’s eye
You’d be well advised
To see life
Through your mind’s eye
Your mind’s eye
Your mind’s eye

SOLO

But everything you perceive
You shouldn’t believe

Don’t be hypnotized
You can see
Through your mind’s eye
Your mind’s eye
You’d be well advised
To see life
Through your mind’s eye
Your mind’s eye
Your mind’s eye

A mote it is to trouble the mind’s eye.
In the most high and palmy state of Rome,
A little ere the mightiest Julius fell,

Mind's Eye

LYRICS:
Took a trip down memory lane
Hit a bump in the road
I took a sip from the river of pain
Got drunk from the wisdom bestowed
I turned around
Put a smile on my face
This hurdle
I’ll never replace
Cause each bruise
Took me to a place
With firm and fortunate
Life embrace

So thank you to
The bumps in the road
Cause you gave me the keys
To break my life’s code
So thank you to
The bumps in the road

Walked some more
Along the memory lane
Thought about if I’d take
The same road again
[And thought to myself, Hell Yeah!]
If I had to do it all anew
I’d take all the falls and the lessons too
I’d take a drunk from the river of pain
And get drunk by it’s wisdom again and again

So thank you to
The bumps in the road
Cause you gave me the keys
To break my life’s code
So thank you to
The bumps in the road

SOLO

So thank you to
The bumps in the road
Cause you gave me the keys
To break my life’s code
So thank you to
The bumps in the road
And thank you for the seeds
That you have sewed
From all those bumps in the road

Bumps In The Road

LYRICS:
How many nights do you sit alone
Thinkin’ about all the things you’ve done
Do you take pride in destroyin’ lives
Or are you numb when the pain arrives
Out of your mind
And runnin’ fast out of time
Grabbin’ on for dear life
While will slowly dies

Wow
There’s writin’ on wall
Wow
Foreshadowin’ the fall

Dream’s still alive
But you’re dying slowly inside
So hold on for dear life
While you die slowly inside
Die slowly inside

Oh, you made a master plan
Now beyond its life span
Now you wake up every day
Scramblin’ to make up what to say
Crumbling down
While you button down
Grabbin’ on for dear life
While will slowly dies

Wow
There’s writin’ on wall
Wow
Foreshadowin’ the fall

Dream’s still alive
But you’re dying slowly inside
So hold on for dear life
While you die slowly inside
Die slowly inside

SOLO

Die slowly inside
Die slowly inside

Dying Slowly

LYRICS:
You know you have the power over me
Pure electricity
Such a well-built power source
Sparks are flying, I feel your force

I can feel the waves of power flow
I’m heating up, my resistance is low

It’s electric
The power you have over me
It’s electric
Pure electricity
It’s electric
Powering me all through the night
It’s electric
Shocking, but it feels so right
So right, and so electric

Oh, how I love your power lines
Power source for a little friend of mine
Just when my charge is running low
Your power me up, and I’m good to go

Two power sources set to merge
Oh baby, can you feel the power surge

It’s electric
The power you have over me
It’s electric
Pure electricity
It’s electric
Powering me all through the night
It’s electric
Shocking, but it feels so right
So right, and so electric

Come on baby
Shock me one more time
Make me feel alive

SOLO

I’m running into overload
Plug in the socket, baby, watch it explode

It’s electric
The power you have over me
It’s electric
Pure electricity
It’s electric
Powering me all through the night
It’s electric
Shocking, but it feels so right
So right, and so electric

Oh baby, it’s electric
(It’s electric)
I’m heating up, baby, it’s electric
(It’s electric)
Let the sparks fly, baby, it’s electric
(It’s electric)
Plug in the socket, it’s electric
(It’s electric)
Power lines, it’s electric
(It’s electric)

Electric

LYRICS:
Tragedy of justice here I sit
Guilty of a crime I didn't commit
A lazy prosecutor took the easy way out
Skillfully concealing shadow of doubt

My cries and fears, they fall on deaf ears
No one hears, it falls on deaf ears

An eight by ten box is now my home
The crooked prosecutor's free to roam
The wheels of justice ran me over, appeals have been denied
Now I know injustice will preside

My cries and fears, they fall on deaf ears
No one hears, it falls on deaf ears

SOLO

My cries and fears, they fall on deaf ears
(My cries and fears, deaf ears)
No one hears, it falls on deaf ears
(No one hears, it falls on deaf ears)
Yeah
Yeah
Yeah

Dead Ears

LYRICS:
Mountain to climb
And running out of time
Final countdown
Lollygagged around
Only you’re to blame
For what you became
Apathetic soul
Loosing control

A steep cliff, for you to climb
But it’s running, slipping
Through your hands
The sands of time
The sands of time

Take self-control
Come out your foxhole
Stitch in time
Can save you nine
Break from the chains
And stop with the blame
Apathetic soul
Take self-control

A steep cliff, for you to climb
But it’s running, slipping
Through your hands
The sands of time
The sands of time

SOLO

Yeah!
A steep cliff, for you to climb
But it’s running, slipping
Through your hands
The sands of time
A steep cliff, for you to climb
But it’s running, slipping
Through your hands
The sands of time
The sands of time

Sands Of Time

Music and lyrics - copyright Jonathan Linton

LYRICS:
In my secret place
I have buried
A treasure case
Full of broken bones
Painfully, painstakingly
Collected
But fatally, mistakingly
Neglected

I lick the wounds
From the sticks and stones
Lessons entombed
In broken bones
Broken bones
Yeah
Broken bones

I guard this treasure with my life
Capsules of wealth
Frozen in time
Patiently and brazenly
Collected
Now faithlessly, courageously
Protected

I lick the wounds
From the sticks and stones
Lessons entombed
In broken bones
Broken bones
Yeah
Broken bones
Yeah
Broken bones

Broken bones…

Broken Bones

LYRICS:
If the truth will be told
It will be controlled
Rich with fool’s gold
Another victim enrolled

Yeah
I’ll inspire
And light the fire
Press on regardless
Into the darkness
Yeah!

Lead us
To light
Head the call
Till the darkness falls
Show us
How when divided
We stand tall
Till the darkness falls

The signs on the wall
The card house will fall
Payback befalls
Your life in downfall

Yeah
I’ll inspire
And light the fire
Press on regardless
Into the darkness
Yeah!

Lead us
To light
Head the call
Till the darkness falls
Show us
How when divided
We stand tall
Till the darkness falls

SOLO

Yeah
I’ll inspire
And light the fire
Press on regardless
Into the darkness

Lead us
To light
Head the call
Till the darkness falls
Show us
How when divided
We stand tall
Till the darkness falls

Lead us
To light
Head the call
Till the darkness falls
Show us
How when divided
We stand tall
Till the darkness falls…..

LYRICS:
There you go again
Drummin’ up sympathy, yeah
Wallowing around
In your sea of misery
Join the pity trip?
No! I’ll give it a miss
(This time)
Won’t drag me down
Into your deep abyss, no no

Just cry me river of your tears
Cry me river of your tears
Just cry me river
Cry me river
Cry me river
Of your tears

Heard it all before
The whole world is against you
(The whole world is against you)
Kills your motivation
There’s nothing you can do
Why can’t everyone
Call you once a day? Yeah
And wallow together
In your sea of misery

Just cry me river of your tears
Cry me river of your tears
Just cry me river
Cry me river
Cry me river
Of your tears

SOLO

Just cry me river of your tears
Cry me river of your tears
Just cry me river

LYRICS:
You promised me paradise
Showered me
With sugar and spice
Now you’re gone
There’s a hole in me
‘Till death we’ll part
Then I’m free

Can’t you see
You’re a part of me
Every step I make
You walk with me
Your spirit lives
Inside my bones
Why did you leave me here
All alone

Ay!
All alone
All alone

If only
We could turn back time
Take a dif’rent road
To sublime
Your curse on me
Will ever be
‘Till death we’ll part
Then I’m free

Can’t you see
You’re a part of me
Every step I make
You walk with me
Your spirit lives
Inside my bones
Why did you leave me here
All alone

Ay!
All alone
All alone

SOLO

Can’t you see
You’re a part of me
Every step I make
You walk with me
Your spirit lives
Inside my bones
Why did you leave me here
All alone

Ay!
All alone
All alone…

All Alone

LYRICS:
Yeah
Yeah

I’m on the road
To mortality
My only friend
Turned against me
No care at all
For life expectancy
Nothing can fix
Doomed destiny

I crawl
I fall
In your arms
It’s you I crave
Like a slave
Like a slave

Trapped in a hole
Of emptiness
Grim reaper stands
In readiness
No longer highs
Its only lows
Another fix
Then comatose

I crawl
I fall
In your arms
It’s you I crave
Like a slave
Like a slave

SOLO

I’m your slave…….
(I’m your slave)
It’s you I crave
Closer to my grave…….
(Closer to my grave)
The path you pave
I’m your slave……
(I’m your slave)

Slave

LYRICS:
Shut out of the middle
In the fringes, all alone
Luck only dribbles
Emptiness is all I’ve known
Curse I own….

Hid by shadows
Yes it’s me
I’m the one
You never see
Ghost of who I want to be

I wanna be
In the inner circle
To fill the hole that’s deep within
Always outside, looking in
The inner circle

Must be real special
In the circle center
Labelled as a rebel
Got them all real fooled within
Circle spin…

Obscurity
Yes that’s me
Doomed to be
Nobody
Ghost of who I want to be

I wanna be
In the inner circle
To fill the hole that’s deep within
Always outside, looking in
The inner circle

SOLO

I wanna be
In the inner circle
To fill the hole that’s deep within
Always outside, looking in
The inner circle
I wanna be
In the inner circle
To fill the hole that’s deep within
Always outside, looking in
The inner circle

Inner Circle

LYRICS:
A lonely night
Your mind
Is running wild
With thoughts
Of borrowed time
Salvation will be mine

Savior in suit and tie
Angel face can’t lie
Pay your path to paradise
Fears melt like thin ice…

Get on your knees
Time to pray
Get on your knees

Time to
Pray
For deliverance
I will redeem you from sin
Cross my palm and I’ll guide the way
To pay
For deliverance
Pray
For deliverance
My heaven will let you in
Cross my palm and I’ll guide the way
To pay
For deliverance
(Hallelujah)

Now salvation’s bought
But what if he was wrong
A fleeting thought
Drown fears in worship song

Savior, please guide the way
Fear not, son, I’ll save the day
Pay me, you’ll get a slice
Of salvation paradise
(Hallelujah)

Get on your knees
Time to pray
Get on your knees

Time to
Pray
For deliverance
I will redeem you from sin
Cross my palm and I’ll guide the way
To pay
For deliverance
Pray
For deliverance
My heaven will let you in
Cross my palm and I’ll guide the way
To pay
For deliverance
(Hallelujah) 

SOLO

Pray for deliverance…

LYRICS:
I look around at the world today
Nothing but disaster
Mother earth is bleedin’
And we ain’t got no plaster
But I feel for de children
They don’t deserve it
Man killing man and don’ understan’, that we
Way over de limit

Burnin’ oil at brek pace
The children will pay the price
Throw our litter all over the place
The children will pay the price
Spendin’ to win another arms race
The children will pay the price
When we elect in another nutcase
They will pay

Left or right, dem all de same
Fightin’ for de power
Call dem out in a big fat lie
And all dem get sour
I’d like dash dem in deep deep hole
An’ purge out de system, but
Another idiot is waitin’, to rise up
And mash up de kingdom

Burnin’ oil at brek pace
The children will pay the price
Throw our litter all over the place
The children will pay the price
Spendin’ to win another arms race
The children will pay the price
When we elect in another nutcase
They will pay

SOLO

I look around at the world today
I see all de children
They’re future is bleek and
The truth that they seek
Is hidden away by the system
We need one love today, cause
Mankind is drifting away
Dash babylon in a bottomless pit
Cause de children deserve it

Burnin’ oil at brek pace
The children will pay the price
Throw our litter all over the place
The children will pay the price
Spendin’ to win another arms race
The children will pay the price
When we elect in another nutcase
They will pay

Pay The Price

LYRICS:
Shadows
In the moonlight
The wind blows
Plans take flight
Recipe is out of your hands
Destiny, let’s see where it lands
Only the shadow knows

(Only the shadow knows)
What’s hiding from the light
(Only the shadow knows)
The depths of your soul
Only the shadow knows
The truth so cold
Only the shadow knows

New moon
No moonlight
Moonrise
No respite
Helplessly, you’re makin’ amends
Destiny, let’s see where it lands
Only the shadow knows

(Only the shadow knows)
What’s hiding from the light
(Only the shadow knows)
The depths of your soul
Only the shadow knows
The truth so cold
Only the shadow knows

SOLO

In the shadows
Only in the shadows 
In the shadows
Only in the shadows
In the shadows
Only in the shadows
In the shadows
Only in the shadows
