Virtual XI — Lyrics
1. Futureal
I'm running out of time, I'm running out of breath And now it's getting so I can't sleep at night In the day, feel like death I'm getting in far too deep, I feel them closing in I've got to say that I'm scared, I know they'll win Even so, I'm prepared Do you believe what you hear, can you believe what you see Do you believe what you feel, can you believe What is real? Futureal What is real? Whenever anyone seems to treat me like a freak It makes me see I'm the only one who feels That I know what is real Sometimes it feels like a game of deadly hide and seek And when you're reading this, then I will be gone Maybe then, you will see Do you believe what you hear, can you believe what you see Do you believe what you feel, can you believe What is real? Futureal What is real? Futureal Do you believe what you hear, can you believe what you see Do you believe what you feel, can you believe What is real? Futureal What is real? Futureal What is real? Futureal What is real? Futureal
2. The Angel & The Gambler
Roll of the dice, take a spin of the wheel Out of your hands now, so how do you feel But you're not gonna win, you'd better go back again Do you feel lucky or do you feel scared Take what luck brings and be devil may care But you're down on your luck and what will the next day bring Adrift on the ocean, afloat in a daydream Or lost in a maze, or blind in the haze So what does it matter, so why don't you answer So why did you send an angel to mend Best make decisions before it's too late Take all your chances take hold of the reins A roll of the dice, ahead of the game again Nothing to lose but so much to gain A little danger, it goes without saying But what do you care, you're gonna go in the end Gate open to heaven is ready and waiting Or straight down to hell, can go there as well I'll suffer my craving, my soul's not worth saving So why don't you go, just leave well alone Don't you think I'm the saviour Don't you think I could save you Don't you think I could save your life There's like a hunger that knocks on your door You've had a taste of it, still you want more You've made your mistakes, won't play it the same again You have been warned but still you plunge in You play high stakes but there's nothing to win You've only one life and so many things to learn The Angel on one side, the Devil the other Which path do you take? Decisions to make Arrive at the crossroads, you know where you're going And what if you wait, it may be too late Don't you think I'm the saviour Don't you think I could save you Don't you think I could save your life
3. Lightning Strikes Twice
I feel the breeze on my face in expectance Not very long before the storm reaches here Off in the distance the lightning flashing again Feel something strong as the power draws near Is it the rolling of thunder that scares you Is it the crashing of clouds that hold fear But all I know as I sit in a corner alone It takes me back to my childhood again And as I wait and I look for an answer To all the things going round in my head I ask myself could it be a disaster and when It's maybe threatening to happen again As the ominous light draws near, there's a lone dog howls in the park All the people hurry inside, as a lightning flash lights dark The storm is nearly here, only God will know You're sitting alone you watch as the wind is blowing treetops And the swaying rustling leaves, plenty of time to perceive As you wait for rain to fall, only God knows, the whole sky glows Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice Only God knows, the whole sky glows Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice, Maybe lightning strikes twice
4. The Clansman
Wake alone in the hills with the wind in your face It feels good to be proud and be free and a race That is part of a clan and to live on highlands And the air that you breathe, so pure and so clean When alone on the hills with the wind in your hair With a longing to feel just to be free It is the right to believe in the need to be free It's a time when you die and without asking why Can't you see what they do, they are grinding us down They are taking our land that belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream, just a want to be free With a need to belong, I am a clansman Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! It's a time wrought with fear, it's a land wrought with change If ancestors could hear what is happening now They would turn in their graves, they would all be ashamed That the land of the free has been written in chains And I know what I want when the timing is right And I'll take what is mine I am the clansman And I swear to defend, and we'll fight to the end And I swear that I'll never be taken alive And I know that we'll stand and we'll fight for our land And I swear that my bairns will be born free And I know what I want when the timing is right And I'll take what I want, I am the clansman Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore, we're the land of the free No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore, we're the land of the free No, no we can't let them take anymore, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore, we're the land of the free Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! It is the right to believe in the need to be free It's a time when you die and without asking why Can't you see what they do, they are grinding us down They are taking our land that belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream, just a want to be free With a need to belong, I am a clansman And I know what I want when the timing is right And I'll take what is mine, I am the clansman Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! Freedom! And I know what I want when the timing is right And I'll take what is mine, I am the clansman
5. When Two Worlds Collide
My telescope looks out into the stars tonight A little speck of light seems twice the size tonight The calculations are so fine, can it be growing all the time? Now I can't believe it's true, and I don't know what to do For the hundredth time I check the declination Now the fear starts to grow, even my computer shows There are no errors in the calculations Now it's happened, take no other view Collision course, you must believe it's true Now there's nothing left that we can do When two worlds collide The anger and the pain of all those who remain, two worlds collide Who will be left alive, no place to hide when two worlds collide The anger, the pain, of those who remain when two worlds collide When two worlds collide, so who will survive There's no place to hide, when two worlds collide Now it's happened, take no other view Collision course, you must believe it's true Now there's nothing left that we can do When two worlds collide The anger and the pain of all those who remain, two worlds collide Who will be left alive, no place to hide when two worlds collide The anger, the pain, of those who remain when two worlds collide When two worlds collide, so who will survive There's no place to hide, when two worlds collide When two worlds collide The anger, the pain, of those who remain when two worlds collide When two worlds collide, so who will survive There's no place to hide, when two worlds collide When two worlds collide, the anger the pain When two worlds collide, when two worlds collide
6. The Educated Fool
I'm an educated fool, so I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do About this awkward situation that's been thrust right down upon me As I'm walking down into, on my own into the valley of life Got a lifetime of experience, yeah I've got so much to give Open the page at chapter one, could this just be that life's just begun Forever within your darker thoughts, reflecting on everything you've been taught Never felt this way before, seems that somebody's just opened the door To the book of life...or is it death, is there ever anyway out Someone's looking down on me, to the very inner core of my soul They won't tell me what they see but I really want to know I want to leave my life on my own, I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire, I want to live out all my desires I want to go and see the fire burn, I want to see and feel my world turn I want to know what more there's to learn, I want to pass the point of no return Do you really want to be just another statistic or feel That you really should aspire, that you really do deserve more Do you ever really feel that you have so much potential inside What you really have to give could be realized so much more I want to leave my life on my own, I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire, I want to live out all my desires I want to go and see the fire burn, I want to see and feel my world turn I want to know what more there's to learn, I want to pass the point of no return Time will flow, and I will follow Time will go, but I will follow Time will flow, and I will follow Time will go, but I will follow I want to feel what life's like respond, I want to meet my father beyond I want to walk right into the light, I want to feel no fear but delight I want to leave my life on my own, I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire, I want to live out all my desires Time will flow, and I will follow Time will go, but I will follow Time will flow, and I will follow Time will go, but I will follow The educated fool....
7. Don\'t Look To The Eyes Of A Stranger
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger, Don't look through the eyes of a fool Don't look to the eyes of a stranger, somebody's watching when the light goes down Don't look to the eyes of a stranger, Don't look through the eyes of a fool Don't look to the eyes of a stranger, somebody's watching when the night comes down Feel someone's watching you, you've got to get away Is it the first time you've ever felt this scared Feel the adrenaline pump, your heart begins to race Begin to run now, the sweat runs down your face Don't know which way to turn, you'd better hide yourself He's getting close now, you'd better improvise Just hope you never reach the point of no return Could be the last time you see the light of day Don't look to the eyes of a stranger, don't look through the eyes of a fool Don't look to the eyes of a stranger, somebody's watching when the light goes down Don't look to the eyes of a stranger, don't look through the eyes of a fool Don't look to the eyes of a stranger, somebody's watching when the light goes down Don't look to... don't look to... don't look to the eyes of a stranger Don't look to... don't look to... don't look to the eyes of a stranger Don't look to... don't look to... don't look to the eyes of a stranger Don't look to... don't look to... don't look to the eyes of a stranger Don't look to the eyes of a stranger, Don't look through the eyes of a fool Don't look to the eyes of a stranger, somebody's watching when the light goes down Don't look to the eyes of a stranger!
8. Como Estais Amigos
Como estais amigos, for the death of those we don't know Shall we kneel and say a prayer, they will never know we care Shall we keep the fires burning, shall we keep the flames alight Should we try to remember what is wrong and what is right No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears And if we do forget them and the sacrifice they made Will the wickedness and sadness come to visit us again Shall we dance the dance in sunlight, shall we drink the wine of peace Shall our tears be of joy, shall we keep at bay the beast No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears Inside the scream is silent, inside it must remain No victory and no vanquished, only horror, only pain No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears
