2. Cross the Line4:09

   Letra

   We have no way to see eye to eye Through all the walls in their mind These are the pleasures that terrify So leave them behind You keep the chains that are in your life We'll take flight of the dove There's only one way to satisfy This feeling that's love And I'll say it again, and I'll say it again And if the power comes between us Oh, I'll know what to do, I'm gonna say it to you Cross the line tonight, Take this chance and show your might, All the world's on the other side, Cross the line Raise a flag to a moral crime, We'll light a fire for this, Make the papers by morning time And lay in our bliss So come on darling and share my mind, There is no need to stay hid 'Cause all we are now is two of a kind Can you believe what we did? And I'll say it again, oh, and I'll say it again That when the power comes between us Oh, I'll know what to do, I'm gonna say it to you Cross the line tonight Take this chance and show your might All world's on the other side Cross the line Mother come to me now, Take this hand now, I'm afraid Mother, come to me I'm bleeding We had no way to see eye to eye Through all the walls in their mind These were the pleasures that terrified We left them behind And I'll say it again, and I'll say it again And if the power comes between us Oh, I'll know what to do, I'm gonna say it to you Cross the line tonight, Take this chance and show your might, All the world's on the other side, Cross the line

4. How Many Lies?5:20

   Letra

   Once there were times Once there were reasons filled with rhymes Everything shared, everything told You keep me so warm Protect me from all those mighty storms And dreams seem so old So look at us now just look at us now With our hands on our hearts And lines on our brow How many lies must we tell? How many lies must we see? How many times must we say it's for the best? And leave truth as the casualty? Do you read through the lines Or believe the TV and the Times? Where can we find more ways to see? You strain on the truth And make believe all when you cry wolf And the lies you're giving me So look at us now just look at us now With our hands on our hearts And lines on our brow How many lies must we tell? How many lies must we see? How many times must we say it's for the best? And leave truth as the casualty? Oh well the truth is hard So when they write the book Fiction's what you wanna be Well it's your freedom of choice But you know that lies are the cancer of democracy You've painted your face And now you've tainted your words And now you're ready and armed with love Well if you're head is steady And your soul is ready We're going up above So whatever you wanna be Just come on along with me If there's truth in our hearts Maybe we can break free How many lies must we tell? How many lies must we see? How many times must we say it's for the best? And leave truth as the casualty? How many lies must we tell? How many lies must we see? How many times must we say it's for the best? And leave truth as the casualty? How many times must we say it's for the best? And leave nothing yeah

7. Swept5:50

   Letra

   Be careful what you say, Loose talk could sink this ship Well the way that I am as weak as a lamb, See it on my shaky lip There's more to these actions, That you could ever know With the moon and the tide I'm drawn to your side And moving with the flow When it's time to choose and it's sink or swim, I know I'll drown this time When the cold wind blows and I'm falling in, Throw the line Now I'm swept, And I'm lost within my mind On a love that makes me blind And this feeling I just can't forget, Now I'm swept On a tide that's in my soul And this feeling that I have is losing me control And I hope it doesn't end just yet, Now I'm swept Mind over matter, No matter where this mind will be There's more to be said, oh, for games in the head Than anything you'll ever see There's safety in dreaming, So wrap me in things that I know With my head in the sand, I'm at your command And moving with the flow When it's time to choose and it's sink or swim, I know I'll drown this time When the cold wind blows and I'm falling in, Throw the line Now I'm swept, And I'm lost within my mind On a love that makes me blind And this feeling I just can't forget, Now I'm swept On a tide that's in my soul And this feeling that I have is losing me control And I hope it doesn't end just yet, Now I'm swept
8. Snakes and Lovers4:30

   Letra

   I just don't understand it Well there's something at our door Now we're fighting together As dogs of war When the moon is shining And you're wrapped around our sins Then our souls starts a-howling And the show begins Over where the city starts Something comes and slips into its heart Snakes and lovers Try to shed our sins We're undercover But it's slipped beneath our skins Snakes and lovers Holding on in the night Are you sleeping tight? In our Garden of Eden With the poison in disguise We had grown love together In paradise Now Utopia's falling And the messages are clear That the evil is crawling And fear is near Now temptation comes to try So I bite the apple of my eye Snakes and lovers Try to shed our sins We're undercover But it's slipped beneath our skins Snakes and lovers Holding on in the night Are you sleeping tight? Now you're alone in your room And all of the walls they are turning And down on the streets where I walk The light on my eyes it is burning So come on and take me, my dear And bear the fruits of what we know Then our minds will be clear And our hearts will not let go Just one more step And we will be over Snakes and lovers Try to shed our sins We're undercover But it's slipped beneath our skins Snakes and lovers Holding on in the night Are you sleeping tight? Holding on in the night Are you sleeping tight?
9. Through the Barricades5:55

   Letra

   Mother doesn't know where love has gone She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong I see it in her face that's turned to ice And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice And now I know what they're saying As our sun begins to fade And we made our love on wasteland And through the barricades Father made my history He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free He taught me what to say in school I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two And now I know what they're saying In the music of the parade And we made our love on wasteland And through the barricades Born on different sides of life We feel the same and feel all of this strife So come to me when I'm asleep We'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets And now I know what they're saying As the drums begin to fade And we made our love on wasteland And through the barricades Oh, turn around and I'll be there Well there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bare it again Oh, I thought we were the human race But we were just another borderline case And the stars reach down and tell us That there's always one escape Oh, I don't know where love has gone And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong Friday's child is full of soul With nothing left to lose, there's everything to go And now I know what they're saying It's a terrible beauty we've made So we make our love on wasteland And through the barricades And now I know what they're saying As our hearts go to their graves And we made our love on wasteland And through the barricades
