Invisible 02:40
I can't let anyone know I'm here I can't let anyone see I creep and crawl like a reptile, babe Along the periphery I've been to the top of the highest tower I've been to the cellar too The change in the pressure will ruffle your feathers Unless you know what to do I'm all-knowing I'm all-seeing I'm all-thinking No feelings I'm invisible, baby You know that you can't hurt me I made it out, now I'm on my own I've unplugged from the game I'm through with using an alias I want you to know my name They're chasing me over hill and dale Trying to unscrew my head But they'll never catch me 'Cause this time I'm ready It's like I'm already dead I'm all-knowing I'm all-seeing I'm all-thinking No feelings I'm invisible, baby You know that you can't hurt me

Down the road in a little time You will find the dividing line Separating the darkness from the light When you find it don’t take your time Jump across that dividing line You can be anybody that you like Cheat, lie Hide in plain sight Put on your mask Leave your smile behind Cheat, lie Don’t try to hide Soon they’ll discover There’s no soul inside Down the road in a little time You will find the dividing line Separating the cruel from the kind When you find it don’t take your time Jump across that dividing line You can fool anybody that you like Cheat, lie Hide in plain sight Put on your mask Leave your smile behind Cheat, lie Don’t try to hide Soon they’ll discover There’s no soul inside Down the road in a little time You will find the dividing line Separating the foolish from the wise When you find it don’t take your time Jump across that dividing line You can do any damn thing that you like Cheat, lie Hide in plain sight Put on your mask Leave your smile behind Cheat, lie You’ll be just fine When they unmask you A smile’s all they’ll find

How you gonna see the truth when it's hidden in a veil of silence How you gonna do what's right when your mind is full of hate and violence I will hold my head up high even while the storm outside is raging I will face it standing tall 'cause no policy or law can change me My heart is beating My heart is beating My heart is beating still How you gonna change the world when all you ever do is watch and listen If you never raise your voice you're complicit with the opposition We all have a role to play so go get up on the stage and play it We all have something to say so get out of your own way and say it Say my heart is beating My heart is beating My heart is beating still (Fight back!) My heart is beating My heart is beating My heart is beating still

Puppet Show 03:41
You think you’re free now Do what you please now But don't you know you’re still a cog in my machine Try to resist me But you might miss me The moment that I cut you from your puppet strings My hands alone create you My hands alone can break you Don’t you know, don’t you know you’re a puppet show As you grow bolder You make me colder The sympathy I had for you will fade away You’re on thin ice now So don’t think twice now You know not what a deadly little game you play My hands alone employ you My hands can still destroy you Don’t you know, don’t you know you’re a puppet show Cry out in the night Exchanging fire No end in sight You are a liar You disobeyed and paid the price The world is burning You’re still not learning There’s no one left to hear your sorry cry for help Your days are numbered You’re going under The grave in which you’ll lie is one you dug yourself Time and again I’ve told you My hands alone control you Don’t you know, don’t you know you’re a puppet show

Brother 04:56
Oh my brother it hasn't been easy Thinking about all the things we could have done But I promise to keep up the struggle I won't stop fighting until your war is won Brother, believe me I'll stand up for the man you never had the chance to be I'll stand up for the purpose of the life you couldn't lead Won't concede to the people who refuse to tell the truth Oh my brother, I still believe in you Oh my brother I wish I could tell you We're getting closer to freedom every day In spite of all the family forgotten And all the friends that we've lost along the way It's all been worth it I'll stand up for the man you never had the chance to be I'll stand up for the purpose of the life you couldn't lead Won't concede to the people who refuse to tell the truth Oh my brother, I still believe in you

Dominoes 04:12
It's black and white You stayed the night Now I wish you'd stay forever It's plain to see That you and me We fit perfectly together We're dominoes We're dominoes And dominoes keep on falling You're letting go Your cupid's bow And now a new day is dawning Who knows how far or how long Long as the feeling is strong I must go where you are calling We're dominoes We're dominoes And dominoes keep on falling It's plain to see It's not to be Thought so but guess I'm mistaken I dealt the blow And let you go Now it's a new hand I'm taking We're dominoes We're dominoes And dominoes keep on falling She's letting go Her cupid's bow And now a new day is dawning Who knows how far or how long Long as the feeling is strong I must go where she is calling We're dominoes We're dominoes And dominoes keep on falling I still love you I still care I don't mean it I'm just scared She said goodbye I asked her why She said, "baby, stop pretending I know you know When letting go There's never a happy ending We're dominoes We're dominoes And dominoes keep on falling He's letting go His cupid's bow And now a new day is dawning Who knows how far or how long Long as the feeling is strong I must go where he is calling We're dominoes We're dominoes And dominoes keep on falling"

Another Life 03:45
I'll admit I acted foolishly I'll admit I made mistakes And I would have done it differently If I'd understood the stakes I'll admit that I was stupid You might say even depraved But now it's done, I can't undo it And I have myself to blame Now you've gone and put a spell on me All my prayers have come too late Now I'm doomed to spend eternity In a prison that I made If the curse is ever broken You won't ever see my face I'll be heading for another life I'll be gone without a trace Now I've exorcised my demons Paid my dues and done my time Will I finally get to see him Or is it time to say goodbye? Hello father, are you listening? Tell me can you hear my cry? Oh, what's the purpose of existing? If you're nothing so am I Now you've gone and put a spell on me All my prayers have come too late Now I'm doomed to spend eternity In a prison that I made If the curse is ever broken You won't ever see my face I'll be heading for another life I'll be gone without a trace

Face to face with Christ, my Savior Face to face, what will it be When with rapture I behold Him, Jesus Christ who died for me?

We used to play in the garden of love As free as the flowers and birds We would recite all the verses we knew Without understanding the words Darkness must fall on the eagle and dove The day giving way to the night Don't let the darkness consume you my love When you feel like there's nowhere to hide You still have a say You still have a voice As long as you walk on this earth You still have a place You still have a choice As long as your voice can be heard Summer has gone and the winter has come The leaves are all gone from the trees Nothing can grow in the garden of love As cold and as bare as the sea Shadows are coming to black out the sun It's no place for people like us Don't let the darkness consume you my love When you feel like there's nowhere to run Don't ever obey Don't ever abide Don't settle for less than you're worth Don't give up today Don't give up tonight As long as your voice can be heard You still have a say You still have a voice As long as you walk on this earth You still have a place You still have a choice As long as your voice can be heard Don't ever obey Don't ever abide Don't settle for less than you're worth Don't give up today Don't give up tonight As long as your voice can be heard

(1954) 00:41
To realize the great American goal, democracy Each citizen must wipe out his ignorance And his vanity in thinking himself better Because of color, religion, or money He must recognize that it is only what a man is that counts All mankind loves and suffers Hopes, dreams, and creates In the same human way

Dear one the world is waiting for the sunrise Every rose is heavy with dew The thrush on high his sleepy mate is calling And my heart is calling you (voiceover) The government of the United States gives to bigotry no sanction To persecution no assistance

There's a song in the land of the lily Each sweetheart has heard with a sigh Over high garden walls this sweet echo falls As a soldier boy whispers goodbye Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu When the clouds roll by I'll come to you Then the skies will seem more blue Down in Lover's Lane, my dearie Wedding bells will ring so merrily Ev'ry tear will be a memory So wait and pray each night for me Till we meet again Though goodbye means the birth of a teardrop Hello means the birth of a smile And the smile will erase the tear blighting trace When we meet in the after awhile Smile the while you kiss me sad adieu When the clouds roll by I'll come to you Then the skies will seem more blue Down in Lover's Lane, my dearie Wedding bells will ring so merrily Ev'ry tear will be a memory So wait and pray each night for me Till we meet again
