I would talk about principles and mouth my beliefs
And say what we're doing is wrong
I would stumble on through all the good I can teach
How, slowly, we're getting it done
I would talk about action, how we'll take a stand
The rock through the window, the bomb in my hand
I was searching for the wrecking ball to reconcile the message I received
Could I save them all and cut - could I cut off the leash?
Could I ever let those wicked things be?
Could I watch them fall, their gods and all, as we fill the street?
Could I ever think we'd really have them beat?
The guard on the mountain, the guns in the sand,
The pig in the pulpit, the lord of the land?
I was looking for the movement or the passion that we thought would never leave
But it's hard when you're waiting alone and the help that you need is yet to arrive
Then it's gone and it starts back again and it feels like it's new, like it's different this time
Now the signs are gone, they're moving on, it's hard when you're old
Oh this time, I really don't know
I'm lying low and waiting for the moment we'll go
Change this world we promised below
And so we were bound to - or so we demand
And so it was destined - or so it was planned
I was taken as the messenger - the messenger for words I don't believe
I was taken as the messenger - the messenger for words I still believe

Love in Exile

All that's on my mind are thoughts of decay
bittersweetness when summer ends
trying to recall where we went astray
Caught up in the crowd and sparkling lights -
does it leave you every night?
Linger around as if it could stay
I'm at the edge of empire when you hold me
I feel it in your arms tonight
This vicious state won't let you go
Neighbourhood star is leaving at dark
defection from their hearts
I will protect you here from their talk
Tell you the plan, you must understand
they'll destroy you if they can -
sabotage's waiting far down these tracks
I'm at the edge of empire when you hold me
I feel it in your arms tonight
This vicious state won't let you go
All you endure for your continued allure

A Kind of Justice

Don’t, don’t you dare think that it’s off
Tomorrow, you’ll rest a man of sly ways
Hollow, hollowed and reined your sly ways
Nothing in what you know and your mistakes
Caught - all your songs do no good
But sing on, they love your voice, I know
Sing on, who’s got a choice, it seems so slow
You’ll watch it go and you alone
Pray that it’s what you’ve been told:
Empty, cold and alone, vacant
Empty, absent of all that's sacred
Peace never will come to you again
Wherever you'll be taken
An end of your own making
You, you’ll watch it go
You, and you alone
Now you know where you belong
Now you know where you belong
Now you know where you belong
Go-
