Awakening - CD 2

Pray Riding High
music: Peter Hesslein / words: John Lawton music: Dieter Horns / words: John Lawton
. .

pray - pray -

catch the sunrise of the morning, watch the eagle  fly

pray - help me get through the night

just behind the moon the calling, glides between

pray - outa mind out of sight

the desert and the sky

just playing mind games that is leading to your soul

the shifting sand that guides me and leaves behind no trace

you’ll hear the screaming of the stories never told

through the sea of madness, that hides the masquerade
  .

come face the yearning of another lonely day

riding high with angels, drifting up through the burning sky
if only time could speak the words you never say reaching out for the glory, the dreams that passed us by
. .

pray - help me get through the night

moving all that lies before me, sweep away the years

pray - outa mind out of sight

in the distance rides the stranger, speaking words 

.

that challenge all my fears.

your drowning so fast in a stream of insanity

.

your spinning the dreams that you’ll need to survive

he rides the horse of freedom, a trail of angry souls
. the freedom goes unanswered, the signs he leaves go cold

pray - help me get through till dawn

.
pray - when your breaking the fall riding high with angels, drifting up through the burning sky
.

reaching out for the glory, the dreams that passed us by

the price you pay for riding the storm

riding high with the angels, leaving those who have lost their way

there's nothing left inside the feelings have all gone

all that’s left of illusions, to fight another day

there's no denying it’ll put you to the test

.

just shape your feelings to hell with all the rest

(solo)
. (repeat chorus 2x)

I gotta stay out of this race, tearing me down leaving no trace

.

the shadows that creep through the night inviting the touch

This Road

slipping and sliding away

music: Peter Hesslein / words: John Lawton
. .

pray - help me get through till dawn

you know I’m living the dream.
pray - when your breaking the fall another sunrise and its not what it seems
.

blinded by hunger and the fear to learn

living the moment until I crash and burn

take down the message, there could be no return

those tired eyes of mine, will they never learn

.

roll back the nightmare, let the fantasy begin

I don’t feel nothing its as cold as ice.
.

I don’t feel nothing and I could make no choice

(solo)  (pause)  (chorus)

.

. .this roads gonna carry me home
Did you Ever

I’m at the crossroads on the way to your soul

music: Peter Hesslein / words: John Lawton

no tide can take me away

.

I’m building bridges till the shadows remain

I don’t want to fight anymore .
a sea of darkness all that’s left of your war

your in the air that I breathe

you don’t see the heartache and pain and i can’t feel the same

you’re my creation you fulfil every need

someday when the daydream has gone

another moment in time

your gonna need me there to carry on

you give ,me shelter, all I need to survive

one lie that could move into place….and i can’t feel the same .
one day when the heartbreak remains….and i just got to say

you make me helpless and I'm just a man

.

no life surrender and I'm doing the best I can

did you ever .
did you ever this road’s gonna carry me home
did you ever….. feel this way

I'm at the crossroads on the way to your soul

did you ever

no tide can take me away

now or never I'm building bridges till the shadows remain

did you ever …...see me cry

 
did you ever  
did you ever  
did you ever - say goodbye and I just got to say  
.  

right now as your walking away

 
no turning back, cos your lost in the haze  
you built me up now your bringing me down as life circles around  
so strange as the silence remains, reach on out  
and make that change  
(chorus)  
(solo)  

I don’t want to fight anymore

 

a sea of darkness all that left of your war

 
one lie that could move into place and i just got to say  
(chorus 2x)
