Jungles where the tigers sleep
The neon glares
And talk is cheap
Stairways that lead to dreams
You turn around
A siren screams.

Energy glows in the heart of the city
You stand in the shadows or reach for the sky
This time the promise is not just illusion
I'm heading for glory, I'm learning to fly.

Out there you feel the heat
It's face to face, I cross the street
Help me I've done a fare
I need a ride
So take me there.

Everything's moving out of the city
They murder with kisses and then wonder why
Everyone's looking out over their shoulder
We've all gotta jump so I'm learning to fly.

I see a figure there, look back at me
I stand and stare
Searching for sanity
To break the force of gravity.

Learning to fly
Learning to fly
Learning to fly
 

So here we stand between the gates
Upon the dawn the eagle waits
His  tallons  shine like daggers
On the wings of revolution
In pain the madman staggers
But there is no solution.

Another sword upon a throne
But now the jester laughs alone.

Beneath this cloak of treason
Appears a thousand faces
The truth must stand to reason
For those who's heart it chases.

Beyond the world of mortal man
Within this sanctuary the spectre begins to tremble
They lay his spear upon the plan.

On a sea of diamonds lies a ship of glass
Through the mist the torches pass.

Their banners fly in splendour
The ghosts of night descended
With grace their souls surrender
The seal must be defended.

Still the dragons reign supreme
Breathing fire till we scream
They leave us nothing but our dreams.

No shield can save us
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle.

Stand clear, there's storm above
And there is something left to fear
All speed, before the blade is drawn
And there is blood upon the seed.

Let no one yield we're on the field
Where deeds eclipse the sun
Where the brave are told on a thread of gold
The tapestry is spun
As they speak of dreams their amour gleams
There's calm before the storm
But all can see their destiny
The bishop takes the pawn.

In the sky the arrows fly
Each one to it's mark
Defend the true lead us through
This voyage in the dark
Make us strong you know right from wrong
Teach us what it's worth
Cos every heart that aches is what it takes
To save our mother earth.

Lay your life upon the line
It's death for glory every time
You give up yours and I'll keep mine.

No shield can save us
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle.

So here we stand between the gates
Upon the dawn the eagle waits
His tallons shine like daggers
On the wings of a revolution
In the pain the madman staggers
But there is no solution.

Still the dragons reign supreme
Breathing fire till we scream
They leave us nothing but our dreams.

No shield can save us
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle
It's gonna take a miracle
We're searching for a miracle.
  

Man in the street nowhere to sleep
No time for nothing no   Patek Phillipe
Pedal to the metal  Blow by Blow
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go.
 
They're leaving you nothing and nowhere to go
Just put you in the corner like an old banjo
The strings are breakin' but you can't say no
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go.
 
Systematic  one man show
You're caught up in the middle where the four winds blow
No salvation 20 below
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go.
 
All systems go friend or foe
It's all dependin' on the dice you throw
Come without a warning like a U.F.O.
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go.
 
You see this woman on a T.V. show
She's drippin' in diamonds from head to toe
They make you believe it's the status quo
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go.
 
All systems go friend or foe
It's all dependin' on the dice you throw
Come without a warning like a U.F.O.
You're runnin' with the devil it's touch and go.
  

Walking down the street last night
I struck a light
But no one could have seen me without second sight
Taking flight
Handle me with care I'm dynamite.

Looking for some place to hide
A voice inside
Said leave this boy alone so you can take a ride
Step aside
If you take me for a fool I'm cyanide.

Just like a raging storm
No one can break the fall
They're trying to take us over
Our backs are against the wall.

I try and turn my face away
But that's OK
Cos one way or another you may find that it will ricochet
Anyway
They say every dog will have his day.

Just like a raging storm
No one can break the fall
They're trying to take us over
But our backs are against the wall.

Standing next to heaven's gate
Just can't relate
Unable to remember who was on the slate
Get it straight
Before it gets too hard to operate.
 

Lay down your guns I come in peace
No need to run my friend into the trees
We've been through this so much before
But still we get it wrong
Lay down your guns and feel no regret
Life is too short my friend, best we forget
No matter how we rise and fall
And how our love is torn
We'll stand up high above the storm.

And still our passion calls
And the juices fall like rain from the sky
We have to understand we're the flame
That feeds our desire
God knows we must survive.

Lay down your guns and hold on tight
We'll prove the world is wrong and get it right
No need for you to worry now the best is yet to come
Lay down your guns and stand up strong

And though the cut is deep
We can heal it, trust me and keep
Your spirits high
It should be easy now that we've talked it over
And God knows we have to try

Lay down your guns just don't say goodnight
We'll prove the world is wrong, and get it right
And even in your darkest dreams
Some things you can't forsee
Lay down your love, lay it all on me
