The Oath

Like the blade of a sword I am forged in flames
Fiery hot
Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not
Now compelled by
Something that I cannot see
I go forth
Surrendering to history

Your glory
I swear I'll ride (??) for thee
Your power
I trust it rides with me
Your servant
I am and ever shall I be

Through a dream
I have a come to an ancient door
Lost in the mist
I have been there a hundred times or more
Pounding my fists
Now inside
The fire of the ancient burns
A boy goes in
Then suddenly a man returns

Your glory
I swear I'll ride (??) for thee
Your power
I trust it rides with me
Your servant
I am and ever shall I be

I gave my word and gained a key
I gave my heart and I set it free
There's no turning back from this odyssey
Because I feel so alive suddenly
And I wonder
Is this really me

Like the blade of a sword I am forged in flames
Fiery hot
Tempered steel fire-bright to the night I take
I fear not

Now compelled by
Something that I cannot see
I go forth
Surrendering to history

Your glory
I swear I'll ride (??) for thee
Your power
I trust it rides with me
A servant
I am and ever shall I be

Just A Boy

Who steers the ship through the stormy sea
If hope is lost
Then so are we
While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me

But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
For I am just a boy
Too young to be sailing
I am just a boy
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened I'm failing

While some eyes search for one to guide us
Some are staring at me

But I'm no hero
Though I wish I could be
I am just a boy
Too young to be sailing
I am just a boy
And my future is unveiling
And I'm so frightened I'm failing

Dark Light

Look out
'Cause there's something wrong
And you don't know what it is
Watch out
Or it's Sodom and Gomorra
The malevolent order
Right now
Before it's much too late
Before it's much too late

A dark light
A darkness never ending
A dark light
The devil gets his due
A dark night
Is everywhere descending
A dark light
Is coming for you

Now look up
Well the skies are black
And they're getting darker all the time
Watch out
For the things that you believe in
You're gonna be attacked and you won't know what it is
Wise up
You better watch your step
You better watch your step

A dark light
A darkness never ending
A dark light
Of perversion and hate
A dark night
Is everywhere descending
A dark light
There's no time to wait

Look out
For the death of love
There will be no more love
Watch out
It's yourself that you are fooling
Who do you think you're fooling
Shout it out
It's a terrible thing
Such a terrible thing

A dark light
A darkness never ending
A dark light
The sun is turning cool
A dark night
Is everywhere descending
A dark light
Is shining at you

Dark light

Dark light

Is shining at you
Dark light

Only You

Only you
Have the answers
But the questions you
Have to find
Only you
Know the secrets
But the truth lies deep
In your mind
Only you
Are the answer
You turn the night
Into day...yeah
Only you
Are the manchild
You are the light
And you are the way

(Tell me the secrets
I wanna know
Tell me the secrets
I wanna know
Only you)

Only you
Are the manchild
You are the light
And you are the way

I can't believe this is true
Why do I listen to you
And if I am all that you say
Why am I still so afraid

Only you!
Only you!
Only you-ah!

In every age
In every time
A hero is born
As if by a grand design

Under The Rose

Though you may be pure of heart
And free of sin
And though you have been chosen
To begin
And yet you must be worthy of
The prophecy
But seek and you shall find
Your destiny

Loneliness will haunt you
Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath
Will you live your life
Under the rose

The more you hurt the less you feel
The pain
And the more you change, the more you stay
The same
But now before you lies (??) the quest
At hand
And from this boy you may become
A man

Do you understand
Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath
Will you live your life
Under the rose

Loneliness will haunt you
Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath
Will you live your life
Under the rose

A World Without Heroes

A world without heroes
Is like a world without sun
You can't look up to anyone
Without heroes

In a world without heroes
Is like a never ending race
Is like a time without a place
A pointless thing devoid of grace

Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know
In a world without heroes

In a world without dreams
Things are no more than they seem
In a world without heroes
Is like a bird without wings
Or a bell that never rings
Just a sad and useless thing

Where you don't know what you're after
Or if something's after you
And you don't know why you don't know

In a world without heroes
There's nothing to be
It's no place for me

Mr. Blackwell

I never said I was more than I am
Do what I want
I don't give a damn
You're all so weak you know it makes me ill
Don't like you now and probably never will
You cheat and lie
And wonder why
You can't sleep at night

You're not well
Oh...Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well
Oh...Mr. Blackwell
Why don't you
Go to hell

I am a sinner who just loves to sin
I am a fighter who just loves to win
I am the truth about this crummy hole
There's nothing here that can't be bought or sold
You're cold and mean
And in between
You're rotten to the core

You're not well
Oh...Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well
Oh...Mr. Blackwell
Why don't you
Go to hell

You're a victim
A real disgrace
You should be banished from the human race

We'll drink to sorrow then we'll drink to waste
We'll drink a toast to the inhuman race
Here's to the world and the times we're in
Here's to the kid, a real man among men
You're cold and mean
And in between
You're rotten to the core

You're not well
Oh...Mr. Blackwell
And we can tell
You're not well
Oh...Mr. Blackwell
Why don't you
Go to hell

Escape From The Island

Instrumental

Odyssey

From a far off galaxy
I hear you calling me
We are on an odyssey
Through the realms of time and space
In that enchanted place
You and I come face to face

Once upon not yet
Long ago someday
Countless times we've met
Met along the way

Through the luminescent night
On beams of neon light
You and I in winged flight
As we cross the starry sea
Powered by what we see
Now and then
The victory

Once upon not yet
Long ago someday
Countless times we've met
Met along the way...a-hey

There's a child in a sundress
Looking at a rainy sky
There's a place in the desert
Where an ocean once danced by
There's a song in the silence
Weaving in and out of time
We are notes in the music
Searching for remembered rhyme

On a mountain high somewhere
Where only heroes dare
Stand the stallion and the mare
We have been and we shall be
Each other's destiny
One another's odyssey

Once upon not yet
Long ago someday
Countless times we've met
Met along the way

We've met along the way
Met along the way

I

I was so frightened
I almost ran away
I didn't know
That I could do
Anything I needed to
And then a bolt of lightning
Hit me on my head
Then I
Began to see
I just needed to believe in me

Then I
I believe in me
Whoa-ho...and I
I believe in something more than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me

Whoa-ho...and I
I believe in me
Woo-yes...and I
I believe in something more than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me

Listen
They said I didn't stand a chance
I wouldn't win no way
But I've got news for you
There's nothing I can't do
Ain't no pretending
Ain't no make believe
But I've got
To be the one
I gotta do what must be done

Then I
I believe in me
Whoa-ho...and I
I believe in something more than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me

Well, you know that...I
I believe in me
Ooh-yes...and I
I believe in something more than you can understand
Yes, I believe in me
I believe in me
Yes, I believe in me...yeah

I don't need no money
I don't need no fame...no
I just need to believe in me
And I know most definitely
Don't need to get wasted
It only holds me down
I just need a will of my own
And the balls to stand alone

'Cause I
I believe in me
Whoa-ho...and I
I believe in something more than you can understand (so do I, so do I)
Yes, I believe in me

Whoa-oh-ooh-oh-ooh-oh...and I
I believe in me (you feel it too, don'tcha)
I believe in something more than you can understand (yeah...come on)
Yes, I believe in me

Well do you really
Yes, I believe in me
Do you do you
Yes, I believe in me
I wanna rock 'n roll
Yes, I believe in me!

"Champion"

Morpheus
You have been summoned here to offer your judgment of the boy
Do you still deem him worthy of the Fellowship?

I certainly do, my lord.
Matter of fact, I-I think you're gonna like this one
He's got the light in his eyes
And the look of a champion
A real champion
