Part A THE PARTING
If you want to say good bye
Don't start to cry,
Please dry your eyes.
If you think that we should part
Don't let tears start
Don't break my heart.
Time will tell if
We had a good thing
And it's a bad thing
To end this way.
But it feels like
You're not for changing
And there's no saving
What we had.
If you want to leave me now,
I'll cope somehow,
I'll break our vow.
If you think this is the end
You must pretend
We part as friends.
If you go then don't forget me
Don't you let me
Ever be free.
If you want to break the chains,
Leave our domains
Lose what remains.
Time will tell if
We've done the right thing
But this right thing
Seems far too hard.
But it's clear now
You're not for changing
And there's no finding
What we had.
Part B GROW NOT OLD
A light so bright, it sears my eyes
Surprises me, as I try to see
A light which I fear.
A sound so loud, it calls my soul
Oppresses me, as I try to sleep
A sound which I hear still.
Like a bird flies
While a flower dies
How can I hide here?
Like a wasp sings
As a bell rings
How can I come home?
Dawn’s light, night fright
Fear which never leaves
It’ll never let you go
It’ll never let you go
It’ll never let you go
And leave you free.
A cold so deep, can freeze my brain
Freeze my brain, as I try to think
A cold which I feel still.
Like a bird flies
While a flower dies
How can I hide here?
Like a wasp sings
As a bell rings
How can I come home?
Dawn’s light, night fright
Fear which never leaves
It’ll never let you go
It’ll never let you go
It’ll never let you go
And leave you free.
Part C DESTINY
It was my destiny to stay far away from you,
And through the years
All my fears have grown.
O Lord I’d hoped I would find you
I have not and yet still I have tried.
I’ve tried to find the hope I need
Now when all I have seems false and dreams
Can’t help it all seem real.
Maranatha! I can’t wait a lifetime
And yet time will pass and not return.
O now I am here but don’t know where I am
For night may come and I’m so far from home.
Home, where my heart can find your peace
And where I can sleep and not have fear
For I will hear your voice.
Κύριε, με ἄΦιη
I didn’t mean to be the way I am.
Part D FEMALE 66
You died: from this I found life.
You died: from this I found life.
You’re in me: but you’ll never really mine.
You’re in me: but you’ll never really mine.
I live through you: in death you gave life.
I live through you: in death you gave life.
From bad: came something so good.
From bad: came something so good.
You died: from this I found life.
You died: from this I found life.

The Confession
02:57
|
|||
Forgive me
I should have called before
But there are some things I've done
That are against the law.
Don't be sad, it's really not that bad
But I must face whatever comes
Whatever price I pay.
Think of yesterday,
Promises I made,
But now's the time for facing truth
That will not go away.
Forgive me
I'm not blaming you
I know you're not answerable
For the things I do.
Don't be sad, it's really not that bad
But you'll regret it if let it
Change your view of me.
Think of yesterday,
Promises you gave,
And now's the time for facing truth
That will not go away.
It's hard sometimes to make confession
It's hard sometimes to face the truth.
Forgive me
I'm leaving for a while
But I'm hoping that one day
We'll be reconciled.
Don't be sad, it's really not that bad
But you must face whatever comes
And never turn away.
Think of yesterday,
Promises betrayed,
Yet now's the time for facing truth
That will not go away.

Part A IF I SURVIVE
Well there’re going to be earthquakes
And rivers of fire
Day as black as night time
The moon the colour of blood
A white horse is carrying weapons
A red horse comes over the hill
A black horse is bringing judgement
A pale horse is going to
Kill and despise all the people who hide
If I survive I’ll try to revive all that’s lost.
Well there’s going to be crying
With what has been lost.
The seals are going to be broken
At the trumpet’s sound.
Well there’s going to be thunder
To deafen the ears
Nation fighting nation
Children starving alone.
A white horse is carrying weapons
A red horse comes over the hill
A black horse is bringing judgement
A pale horse is going to
Kill and despise all the people who hide
If I survive I’ll try to revive all that’s lost.
Well evil’s been released from prison
No one to make it stop
But after the suffering’s over
The end will surely come.
Well I hope that I’ll see daylight
At the end of the time
I hope upon hope to be living
To keep the earth alive.
A white horse is carrying weapons
A red horse comes over the hill
A black horse is bringing judgement
A pale horse is going to
Kill and despise all the people who hide
If I survive I’ll try to revive all that’s lost.
PART B SAVED BY THE LIGHT
Morning comes
And when the dawning
Lights the streets I find without warning
Peace will come over me
And I will raise my eyes without blinking
See the sun and start thinking
I can be free from the night
Saved by the light.
In the fields the wheat will grow
And the sun will shine.
Wipe my eyes
Dream about the future
Leave the past remember what is new for
Me and can be
now that I am free.
Pack my bag
Leave without a warning
Greet the coming age which is dawning
Feel the light over me
Which now makes me free.
PART C RIVER OF FIRE
There’s a river of fire going to roll all over you
There’s a river of fire going to roll all over you
There’s a river of fire going to roll all over you
There’s nowhere to hide and there’s nothing you can do.
You move like snakes: who warned you to run?
You move like snakes: who warned you to run?
You move like snakes: who warned you to run?
There’s no escape from what is going to come.
‘Could make these stones into a daughter or a son
‘Could make these stones into a daughter or a son
‘Could make these stones into a daughter or a son
But it’s too late now because the end has just begun.
Roll that, roll that, roll that river.
Roll that, roll that, roll that river.
Roll that, roll that, roll that river.
The fire will come and the river will run.
PART D ALL THING NEW
I sit on a hill
And gaze and feel the thrill.
I look around,
At what I’ve found
And wonder still.
You’re making all things new
I see it all in you.
Anywhere, any care
I know that you’ll be true.
I sit on the ground
Think at what I’ve found.
I hear the sound
That’s all around.
It feels profound.
You’re making all things new
I see it all in you.
Anywhere, any care
I know that you’ll be true.
Walls shine like jewels.
River, clear and bright.
Its flow is flecked with light.
Crystal clear
Its voice I hear
It takes my fear.
You’re making all things new
I see it all in you.
Anywhere, any care
I know that you’ll be true.
Roll that, roll, roll that river
Peace will come and the river will run.

Give me what I want
04:58
|
|||
Not your will, but mine be done.
Not your cup, but mine be drunk.
It’s too hard to follow you,
Follow me: set me free!
Give me what I want and not what you want.
Do it in my time and not in your time.
Give me what I want but not what I need!
All those times I’ve tried to please,
But there’s no way to succeed.
Give me what I want and not what you want.
Do it in my time and not in your time.
Give me what I want but not what I need!
Don’t take me, don’t break me:
‘Cause there’s no way to win.
Don’t see me, but leave me
Where I am.
‘Cause I can’t be what I should be,
‘Cause I can’t see what I should see.
Don’t comfort me: don’t give me love.
Don’t care for me, don’t help my fears.
It’s no good to give me hope
When wanting ’s all that I can find.
Give me what I want and not what you want.
Do it in my time and not in your time.
Give me what I want but not what I need!

Two ways
03:48
|
|||
And I shall stay
For just a day
Then I will pack up all my things
And drift away.
And I won’t cry,
Although I’ll try
Then I’ll forget and move to
Face the path nearby.
And you’ll feel sad
From what seems bad
And you won’t know what’s real
And what is truly mad.
Two ways
To betray
And turn from what appears
To hide the truth that’s near
Disappear and run away.
I’ll seem disguised
And close my eyes
And though you’ll see my face
It won’t tell why.
Two ways
To betray
And turn from what appears
To hide the truth that’s near
Disappear and run away.
And if you sigh
And if you cry
It’s only one of two ways
Nullified.
It’s only one of two ways
Justified
