King Harbour Children’s Choir singing on “Throw Away Children”
Silence
We hunt for the queen
Sign of the cross
And pray in between
Look by the light of the day
She's hiding ‘till dark
Waiting to play
Something's taken a child
And it all must end
Time to be killing the dragon again
Silence
We'll hunt for the Lord
He takes crimson and gold
Gave ice to the cold
Oh to be never afraid
Of wolves at the door
Howling for more
War's been empty for years
And it all must end
Time to be killing the dragon again
Kneel and behold your new king
Digital dreams
And wonderful things
To teach you
Small gods with electrical hearts
And it all will end
Time to be killing the dragon
Remember when you only needed no one
Everyday's tomorrow, and it's all right
No confessions, not for you
Forget the things you've done, it's what you do
The first time you're suspicious
Put that pride down
Along comes a spider
Suddenly the world has no more changes
You run with an evil woman, so it's all right
No more strangers' candid lies
The light is so much better for your eyes
Now I'm not superstitious
But every time you've cried
Along comes a spider
Don't ask why it's the long way around
Just go wild
Why do we believe in conversation
We never seem to listen, we only hear
Now you don't need permission
But don't get caught next time
Along comes a spider
A spider, a spider, inside her
You've made it through another day
Driving past the back roads of your mind
You could have turned the other way
And break out of the sanity you'll find inside you
Someone said that you were fantasy
I am the darkness behind your smile
Your scream, scream
Scream for the crazy ones
Scream at the things you've done
Scream at the light inside
We bless the beautiful
Let us forgive you for your sins
These must be holy ones
How could we believe they let us in
How much I heard that they were fantasy
But in the darkness behind your smile
They scream, scream
Scream at the broken heart
Scream as they come apart
Scream `cause they never started
Scream
No pain, no sympathy
You've always been so steady at the wheel
Some friend, reality
You break down on the highway
About to see it my way
Scream at the crazy ones
Scream `cause they all have sons
Scream as they point the gun at you
Scream at the bleeding heart
Scream `cause the end won't stop
Scream as they come apart again
Again, again, again, again, again, again, again
I'm alright I'm crossing over
I've just shot the sun
One more night - Black as Heaven
So no one saw the gun
Running with monsters in shadows
And monsters always know
It's Better in the Dark
Oh she's alright - tall and handsome
If the lights are down
Gone by dawn - takes no chances
Might come back around
Clutching to monsters in shadows
And monsters always know
It's Better in the Dark
I'm alright I'm crossing over
I can disappear - GONE!!!
Clutching to monsters in shadows
And monsters always know
It's Better in the Dark
It's Better in the Dark
I've just shot the sun
If they take away your song
you can finally hear the voices
of the ones that don't belong
In the face of the rising wind
We all sing Gloria
Is there flame without a fire?
Most unlikely
If you are there when the walls come down
We all sing Warrior
Is there sight without a sound?
Most unlikely
But we got Rock and Roll
Rock and Roll
Take me anywhere
Rock and Roll
Rock and Roll
Is there someone there
Rock and Roll
On the edge of the last goodbye
We all sing Warrior
Ahh the brave never die
Most unlikely
Send your heroes off to war
But whisper in their ear
Never trust the song police
They can tell you what you're gonna hear again
For the sake of the left-behind
We all say Gloria
Soon forgotten by time
So unlikely
‘Cause we've got Rock and Roll
Rock and Roll - Take you anywhere
Rock and Roll - We all say Gloria
Rock and Roll
Rock and Roll - Someone's always there
Rock and Roll
Bring me anywhere
Rock and Roll
Rock and Roll
Someone's always there
Rock and Roll
Rock and Roll Me on
Rock and Roll
Rock and Roll (fades out)
You've ridden on a carousel
So you know the feeling
As the ring slips through your fingers
Sometimes you justify it
But there's a sore and you're bleeding once again
Before you're in a corner
Can't crawl away
Here's a way to save you
You've got to Push
Get outta my way and Push
You can turn the wheel - Push
One more Push
You‘re master of the broken heart
So you know the feeling
as your soul starts going under
Sometimes you rectify it
But out of the blue the hammer falls again
Before you're in the water
Can't sail away
Here's a way to save you
You've gotta push
Bring the body down
Oh Push
Out of my way - I'll Push
You better Push
You've got to Push
Hands against the wall
And Push
Out of my way - We'll Push
You can turn the wheel
Go on and Push - Push - Push - Push (fades out)
He'd never tell her lies
And She believed in magic
But when the magic died
She could see all along he'd just been
Guilty - A Liar, Liar - Guilty
Guilty - Burn in fire - Guilty
It's time to say goodbye
Don't tell another story
Another Alibi
Now you see that all along he's just been
Guilty - A liar, liar - Guilty
Guilty - Hope you burn in fire - Guilty
Guilty - The great pretender - Guilty
You're Guilty
Just surrender because you're Guilty
Broken Promise
The priest forgive again
One more time for me
It's the very last time, you'll see
Guilty - Liar, liar - you'll burn in fire
Guilty - Liar, liar - Guilty
Guilty - the great pretender - Guilty
Guilty - Just surrender - Your Guilty
Guilty, Guilty,
Guilty, A lair, liar, Guilty
You're burn in fire
Surrender
You are so Guilty
Oh the sun's gone down - her day begins
And the rhythm of the darkness wakes the dead
Don't answer lies that smile - don't let them in
They see the lonely child - she feels their sin
But it's getting so much colder - and she's afraid
Never going back to where the pain was
She'd rather face the pain that's here and now
Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the run-away children
The throw away child
I'll make you safe and warm
Words she needs to hear
What they really mean
Is no more little girl
Don't see her anymore - they disappear
Yesterday they said that she was dying
And just today I heard that she was dead
Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the run-away children
The throw away child
Someone's thrown away their children
You can hear them only if you try
Sing for the run-away children - Goodbye
Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running away from your smile
Sing for the run-away children
The throw away child
Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running away from your smile
Sing for the run-away children
The throw away child
Someone had a dream
Never been to London
Never in a limousine
Something made him go
Could it be the voices coming from the radio?
But somewhere down the line
The happiness you find
Will crash into a wall
Just before the fall
Someone joined the band
But he never heard the music
Couldn't really understand no, no, no
Don't know what they mean
Where's my picture shot from a magazine?
But somewhere down the line
He'll quickly glance behind
Then smash into a wall
Before the fall
Someone ran so fast
When he saw the future
He was sure it was just the past
Someone had a dream
only this one had been lost
Inside the old machine
And somewhere down the line
They'll say that his is Mine
And all that's left is time
Time to fall and stumble
Tired of living in the black and white
Where fools can tell you that you‘re never right
I know a place where the film's in color
Just step inside of yourself
Here's a place in the front row
So on with the show
The same ole' shadow on the run
Hey that's no shadow, it's the shadow's son
I know a place where the pools got water
And you don't need to know how to swim
Here's the key to the back door
Do you want more?
Do you need more?
Same ole' rhythm to the same ole' rhyme
The same ole' clock - same ole' time
There's a place where the grass is greener
And you could shake, rattle and roll
Here's the key to the front door
Do you want more?
Will you need more?
Tired of living in the black and white
Where no one's wrong and you're never right
Same ole' steps to the same ole' dance
Just one more reason - one more chance
Ohhhhhhhhh
