Tune in to the show
The wonderful show
Telling us all the things we know
How to achieve
What we believe
Though we are free we never leave
There’s nowhere to go to
Outside the fantasy
Fantasy
The old puppeteer
Tonight he is here
He’s going to show us what we fear
The marionette
Posing a threat
Living inside the TV set
There’s nowhere to go to
Outside the fantasy
Fantasy
There’s nowhere to go to
Outside the fantasy
Fantasy
Stay tuned to the show
There’s no need to go
Here we’ve got everything we know
What to believe
All we can possibly conceive
Though we are free we never leave
There’s nowhere to go to
Outside the fantasy
Fantasy
I hear the song
I hear the song I’ll be hearing forever more
Like a calling from long before the world had made you mine
I’ll never forget
I’ll never forget what you said on that lonely day
In the most unrelenting way it meant the end of fear
And as the time drew near
I wish that I could hear you ask the question one more time
Don’t you believe in magic?
All of the time
All of the time that I spent looking for the truth
Or a semblance of real proof that everything was real
‘It’s all in your mind’
‘It’s all in your mind’
I remember repeating it
Repetition depleted it to nothing but a dream
A dream inside a dream
Now I know what you mean when you would ask me why
I don’t believe in magic
Don’t you believe in magic?
Of all the things you used to say
Oh it must have been the one
Of all the things you used to say
It made me laugh but now you’re gone
All the things you used to say
That I said were in your mind
Don’t you believe it
Everybody’s going to die
Everybody
Slipping away into the night
But we’re feeling alright
Everybody’s going to die
Everybody
Everybody loses the fight
But we’re feeling alright
Some of us believe that we will live forever
Some of us believe that we return
Some of us will go when we are all together
Some of us will go when we’re alone
Chorus
Some of us will live like there is no tomorrow
Some of us will fight until the end
Some of us will struggle through the pain and sorrow
Some of us will choose to make it stop
Chorus
Some of us are taken long before we should be
Some of us will go before we’re born
Some of us will do the things we want to do here
Some of us will not
Chorus
No one believed you when you used to say
That one day you’d find it somehow or some way
The answer that hides in a hole in your heart
It tears you apart
(Do what you want)
Everyone laughed at your early attempts
(With love in your heart)
Those with potential were met with contempt
All of the people they said you were wrong
But you carried on
Yeah!
Listen to the doctor who told you that you wouldn’t heal
Listen to the preacher who told you to kneel
Listen to the experts who mocked you for breaking the rules
Well now who’s the fool?
Yeah!
They’ll step on your fingers as you reach the crest
They’ll try to convince you you’re the same as the rest
(But you do what you want)
They’ll kick you and beat you for nothing at all
But you follow the call
You scale the wall
So throw me the ball
‘Cause we’ll never fall
Yeah!
Follow the path of the Sephiroth
Into the arms of the Behemoth
Cast off your crown with a true sincerity
Out of this world you must go
Into the light, from the darkness of the soul
Out of this world that you know
Follow the path of the Sephiroth
Into the arms of the Behemoth
Witness the beauty beyond eternity
Gone is the world that you know
Knowledge and kindness beyond severity
Into the Skull we must go
Into the Skull
Follow the path of the Sephiroth
Into the arms of the Behemoth
One, two and three, a supernal energy
All of your secrets we know
Temples of wisdom will crumble to the ground
Into the Skull we will go
Into the Skull
Follow the path of the Sephiroth
Into the arms of the Behemoth

Your heart
Is sacred like no other
Open like a catalogue
It burns
Stronger than your mother
Didn’t she read the epilogue?
It floats
Suspended like a butterfly
Riding on a caterpillar
Those goats
Have got the power to horrify
You know the dog’s a lady killer
Oh yeah
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Fig rolls
Rolling like a river
Down the hill of Palatine
I know
Your milk will give me vigour
Won’t you be my valentine?
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Which way
You’re waiting at the traffic light
Give your pups to Hecate
New moon
Their blood is in the gutter
Bring me my serenity
1 2 3 4 5 6 7

Why did you tell me?
Why did you tell me?
Why did you have to tell me
About that other man?
‘Cause I tried to forget it
I tried to forget it
But I just can’t sleep
I just can’t seem to let it go
Why did you tell me?
Why did you tell me?
Why did you have to tell me
About that other man?
You said that he used you
You said that he used you
So I had no choice at all
So I had no choice at all
I had no choice
I had no choice
But to hunt that mother down
Why didn’t you tell me?
Why didn’t you tell me?
Why didn’t you tell me
It was you who was using him?
‘Cause I tried to forgive him
I tried to forgive him
But I had no choice
I had no choice
But to put him in the ground
Let’s get together
Before we get sucked in forever
Calling all the people
In the family
On their lonesome
On their own
Inside the houses
On the roadside
On a hill
Inside a town
Inside a country
On an island
In the ocean
In the world
Inside a vortex
Spinning silently
Around the great black hole
Let’s get together
Before we get sucked in forever
Let’s get together
Before we get sucked in forever
This paradigm
Everyday it’s on my mind
Will we ever find
Anything else but glorified
Sorcerers and saboteurs?
(Sometimes I think)
Sometimes I think about the fear of madness
And the feeling it’s controlling us all
(The feeling it’s controlling us all)
Maybe one day we could conquer the feeling
That we’re living at the bottom of a bottomless hole
(But don’t you know it?)
Don’t you know that you can do what you want to
When you know that you’ve got love in your heart?
(You know that you’ve got love in your heart)
So many people with a struggle inside them
But you know it’s just a play and we’re just playing the part
Of sorcerers and saboteurs
(Can you believe it?)
Can you believe that you invent your own demons
And the demons take control of your mind?
(Oh yes indeed I do believe it)
So don’t you let another person invent them
‘Cause they’re only put together with whatever they find
They’re sorcerers and saboteurs
This paradigm
Is a genuine
Pantomime
Sleep forever more
Close your tired mind
Fall from the earth
Go now into the sun
Reading the newspaper
Makes me anxious makes me nervous
Of the past and of the future
As the fear tries to control us
So I’m reaching for the potion
And the comfort of forgetting
What the world is really like
Outside the thin walls of the notion
That we’re here in the present
Like a birthday present
You got me living in a bubble
And you just don’t know what it means to me
We’re living in a bubble
Won’t you come and join the family
Sleep forever more
Close your tired mind
Fall from the earth
Go now into the sun
Outside of the bubble
There’s another and another
And there’s one for every person
And there’s some inside the others
And some they might cross over
And there’s some there bursting open
But outside in the darkness
It’s impossible to breathe
So we climb back on inside
It’s best to stay inside

We love you.
He said he’d opened the mind up of another one
Taken the prizes of a great many competitions
And all the people they stood on their chairs and they stared
At the man with the silver hair
Taken the findings of the science man
Raising his hands to the air
So he’s making the minds up of the millions
And they’d never deny that he’s right
‘Cause he’s taken a prize of many a size
If ever he dies he’ll have a tombstone of a very high height
Yes he’s making the minds up of the millions
And they’d never deny that he’s right
‘Cause he’s taken a prize of many a size
He wears his disguise all of the day and in the middle of the night
Go by the river
Go by the road
You’re on your own
You’re on your own
I’ve seen the coming of the storm
I’ve seen the ground beneath you
Revolution comes with an act of love
Listen closely now to the sound of the turtle dove
Wings are broken but she sings her song
And all we’ve got to do is sing along
And so on every street
The marching of the soldier’s feet
Marching in time
To the laughing of a fool
To the laughing of a fool
You sow just what you reap
We’re digging deeper far beneath
Digging for the gold
We were promised by a fool
We were promised by a fool
Revolution comes with an act of love
Listen closely now to the sound of the turtle dove
Wings are broken but she sings her song
And all we’ve got to do is sing along
All we’ve got to do is sing along
All we’ve got to do is sing along
Revolution comes with an act of love
Listen closely now to the sound of the turtle dove
Revolution comes with an act of love
Listen closely now to the sound of the turtle dove
Go
Or it’s never gonna matter at all
Go
Cause they’re coming, oh they’re coming to call
Go now
While you
Still can
Go before the coming of dawn
On and on
Cause they’re coming, oh they’re coming and it’s never gonna matter at all
You never woken with a cold sweat?
No you never talk about it
You never talk about it
You never talk about it anymore
Go
And you’re running just as fast as you can
Go
Running faster than you ever ran
Go now
Go now
Go now
Go before the coming of dawn
On and on
And you never turn your head, you never turn your head, you never turn it
You never woken with a cold sweat
No you never talk about it
You never talk about it
You never talk about it anymore
A single drop of mercury upon the silver sky
Like dancing silver sixpennies beyond the speed of light
It burns through paper, wood and steel, a lightning shade of blue
And circled in indifference as time goes speeding through
Or not
Or not
You won’t remember
You won’t recall
You won’t remember
You won’t recall
Gonna build a rocket tonight
Fly it off of Jupiter
Gonna build a rocket tonight
Gonna build a rocket
Gonna build a rocket
And then I’m gonna set it
Alight
Gonna build a rocket tonight
Fly it off of jupiter
Only taking one woman with me
And you know who that is gonna be
Gonna build a rocket
And then I’m gonna set it
Alight
I was gonna build a rocket tonight
But I haven’t got the tools to build it
So we gotta find another way out
Hole in time
Opening wide
Close your eyes and I’ll see you on the other side
Gonna build a rocket tonight
Fly it off of Jupiter
Gonna build a rocket tonight
Gonna build a rocket
Gonna build a rocket
And then I’m gonna set it
Alight
I’ve seen the cards that you’re playing
I saw her smiling in the rain
And all the people new her name
They said she’d never love again
But no, she did not show her pain
I’ll have to make a paper aeroplane
And send it her way
With none to lose and all to gain
I’ve got to speak to her today
I just don’t know what she’ll say
I guess if she don’t feel the same
I’ll have to take my paper aeroplane and throw it all away
I don’t even know you boy
But you said you’re the one for me
And you said that you love me
I said it could never be
And nobody knows it
So maybe it’s all a dream
And nobody knows it
So maybe it’s all a dream
A secret path I found that wound around the mountain
Down below the tortoise and the hare
I’ve seen the lonely lion playing in the fountain
Give to me the burdens that you bear
And in the east I’ve seen the silver moon arising
There you were with flowers in your hair
But when I reach for you I see the image fading
Gone into the misty morning air
I’ve seen the carnival that whirls outside your window
Come with me and ride the ferris wheel
And when the summer comes we’ll walk out in the country
Give to me the fears that you feel
And then I’ll tell you all the things that I’ve been thinking
On the wind those distant bells appeal
And then the air goes still and all the birds are silent
In the new sunlight all is revealed
In the north I’ve seen a nest of golden eagles
Cared for by a mother overrun
And though the record plays, broken is the needle
The cakes she bakes are never underdone
And as the raven flies he calls out to the people
Cast your eyes upon the setting sun
And all at once they sang a song from every steeple
Don’t you know that this girl is the one
In the end
It’s all the same
In the end it’s all the same
In the end
They’ll know your name
In the end they’ll know your name
Gonna go and see the devil again
Don’t you know he only wanted a friend
Gonna go and see the devil again
Don’t you know he only wanted a friend
Once again
It’s all the same
Once again it’s all the same
In the end
It’s just a game
In the end it’s just a game
Gonna go and see the devil again
Don’t you know he only wanted a friend
Gonna go and see the devil again
Don’t you know he only wanted a friend
In the end
It’s just a game
In the end it’s just a game
Once again
They’ll know your name
In the end they’ll know you
Gonna go and see the devil again
Don’t you know he only wanted a friend
Gonna go and see the devil again
Don’t you know he only wanted a friend

Oh, from within the mountain heart
You never see the day again
On a winters night I heard a sound so cruel
And by the moon I saw that it was you
Dancing on the wind you fled from all you knew
So run amok my child
Won’t you hear me when I say
The song it seemed to play
From within the mountain heart
You never see the day again
When the autumn came the trees all seemed to die
But by the moon I saw they were alive
Dancing on the wind the snow fall told a lie
A little piece of mind
You might say that I was wrong
But I swear I heard the song
From within the mountain heart
You never see the day again
Oh, from within the mountain heart
You never see the day again
Never again
From within the mountain heart
You never see the day again
Oh, from within the mountain heart
When I see the morning sun
I no longer need to run
I know the song will come
From within the mountain heart
Dancing on the wind
You fled from all you knew
And by the moon I saw that it was you
So run amok my child
Run amok my child
You might say that I was wrong
But I swear I heard the song
Won’t you hear me when i say
That the song it seemed to play
I no longer need to run
Cause when I see the morning sun
Yes I know the song will come
From within
From within the mountain heart
A little piece of mind
Snowfall told a lie
A little piece of mind
Snowfall told a lie
Never see the day again
Oh, from within the mountain heart
I’ll find you, never you mind, I’ll find you
I’ve seen you, hiding away, I’ve seen you
I know you, better than them, I know you
I’ll help you to give it away, I’ll help you
Here comes the black slug, He lives inside my mind
Here comes the black slug, He lives inside my mind
But I dare not look inside, Don’t know what I might find
I’ve seen you, never before, but I know you
I’ve seen you, never before, but I know you
There goes the black slug, He leaves this trail of slime
There goes the black slug, I follow close behind
But I dare not look inside, Don’t know what I might find
Forever
Forever Forever Forever
Forever Forever Never
Forever Forever Forever Forever
Hear the stars
Speaking in a metaphor
Oh, as above so below
Look at the man
Searching for a semaphore
To feed into his mind
Hear your soul
Yearning for something
It found in the woods long ago
Movements in the sky
Changing you and I
Movements in the sky
Changing my mind
Feel the moon
Pulling on the tidal wave
As above so below
Look at the sun
Blinding so you look away
Show us a sign if you will
Hear the men
Talking so loud
I can’t hear anymore
Movements in the sky
Changing you and I
Movements in the sky
Changing my mind
Why do you never answer
When I call you every day?
All I ever wanted
Was to know your secret name
Over in the distance
There’s the growing cloud of shame
The answer’s in there somewhere
The answer’s in the question
And I know you know the answers in your soul
Why do you never answer
When I call you by your name
All I ever wanted
Was to play your stupid game
Over the horizon
Comes the sudden flash of blame
The answer’s in there somewhere
The answer’s in the question
And I know you know the answers in your soul
I’ve seen your way of living
So I don’t think I’ll be giving
Any more
I heard it in the water
I’ve seen your way of giving
So I don’t think you’ll be living
Any more
I’ve spoken with your daughter
Is Satan real?
I’ve seen your way of living
So I don’t think I’ll be giving
Any more
I heard it in the water
I’ve seen your way of giving
So I don’t think you’ll be living
Any more
I heard it from your daughter
One man from beneath the tree saying look at what I found
They took a little tiny seed and then they put it in the ground
Rain fell from up above but it fell without a sound
Then the song of a thousand suns seemed to come from all around (ah ah ah)
And we watched it grow
And we watched it grow
And we watched it grow
So high
I’ve seen it ‘bout a thousand times about a thousand times or more
Old man with a book in his hand he come a knocking on my door (knock knocking)
Little shoot from beneath the ground rose up like none before
Growing higher and higher and higher and higher until it knocked him to the floor
And we watched it grow
And we watched it grow
And we watched it grow
So long
And he said there’s no
He said there’s no
He said there’s no
God
And we watched it grow
We watched it grow
We watched it grow
So high
I wanna take you
I wanna take you to the ocean
Though the sun is out of view
It’s reflected on the moon
And its lighting up the room
So you sing another tune
And I remember
No one can save you, you’re under their spell
No one can save you at all
No one can touch you and no one can see
No one can save you
I wanna take you
I wanna take you to the ocean
I wanna hold you
Hold you down beneath the waves
I wanna feel you
Feel you struggle in the water
I wanna hear you
I wanna hear you when you say
There’s an evil in your eye
There’s a weight upon your mind
There’s an evil in your eye
There’s a weight upon your mind
No one can save you, you’re under their spell
No one can save you at all
No one can touch you and no one can see
No one can save you
I wanna take you
I wanna take you to the mountain
I wanna show you
I wanna show you what I’ve seen
I’m gonna push you
I’m gonna push you to the edge now
I wanna see you
Looking down at where you’ll be
Though the sun is out of view
It’s reflected on the moon
And its lighting up the room
So you sing another tune
And I remember
No one can save you, you’re under their spell
No one can save you at all
No one can touch you and no one can see
No one can save you
No one can save you at all
