Metromania Lyrics
Escape To The HeightsCivilization ending
a mystic silent sound
no more spirit rising
wasteland all around
bursting open the wall
no longer down hearted
I am hearing the call
my mind is feeling my heart
evil eyes around me
no movement on my own
cannot shake the present
no visions here to roan
bursting open the wall
no longer down hearted
I am hearing the call
my mind is feeling my heart... heart.... heart...
deserted faces crowding me
staring cold ahead
not consious of their destiny
my heart won't be lead
I'll escape to the heights now
I'll escape to the heights
now.... now.... now.... now....
deserted faces crowding me
staring cold ahead
not consious of their destiny
my heart won't be lead
I'll escape to the heights now
I'll escape to the heights now.... now.... now.... now....
yonder in the distance
a glowing ray of light
escape from isolation
the shadows in the night
I'll escape to the heights
acheiving new frontiers
I've a reason to fight
rejecting old values
leave the darkness behind
I'm feeling my freedom now.... now.... now.... now....
Seeds of CreationI've spent my life in darkness
blind enslaved on the factory floor
and now a new sensation
lost at sea I can see the shore
ha
ha
ha
ha
I'm seeing trees growing
I'm hearing birds singing
I'm feeling rain falling
spring is coming
winters on the run
Each drop of rain's a heat beat
bringing life to this barren ground
with nature's cycle turning
seeds of creation all around
ha
ha
ha
ha
I'm seeing trees growing
I'm hearing birds singing
I'm feeling rain falling
spring is coming
winters on the run
stand up, stand up, face a world full of light
stand up, stand up, it's the end of the night
I feel, I feel, the rays of the sun
I feel, I feel, winter on the run
stand up, stand up, face a world full of light
stand up, stand up, it's the end of the night
I feel, I feel, the rays of the sun
I feel, I feel, winter on the run
All Life Is OneI am a part of the sun and the sky and the heavens above
move where the rivers flow, fly with the breezes forever
and the earth and the sea and the hills and the trees they're a part me
all life, all life, is one, is one
bathe in the mountain streams run through green meadows and valleys below
and the earth and the sea and the hills and the trees they're a part of me
all life, all life, is one, is one
what moves the hands on the clock on the wall?
what makes the rains and the snowflakes fall?
as the pendulum swings, so it drives the machines
nature's force is the source, she's the source of us all, oh
I feel this new found force driving the words from my pen
here, as I compose my thoughts firing my heart
as as my heart drives the blood
throught my veins, warmth, feel it baptise my soul
all in rhyme, a verbal procession
all in rhyme, a lyric obsession
there's a force in us all
there's a force drives the blood in my veins
and this force speaks in poetry
The StrangerI'm walking down a street with no end
an evening wind is blowing cold
ethereal tune a radio voice
alone in the heart of the crowd
what's in the air
the feeling they share
looking full of hope
oh no no no
sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not the one you've been waiting for
sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not the one you've been praying for
the savior from afar
collar up high, a fresh cigarette
vacant windows line the way
men on the news with nothing to say
they tell the same tales every day
suffering alone whispering cries
trying to call
I can't help you
sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not the one you've been waiting for
sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not the one you've been praying for
the savior from afar
[ahhh aaaaa's]
sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not the one you've been waiting for
sorry, sorry, sorry, I'm not the one you've been praying for
the savior from afar
Follow The Lighta glow on the horizon
so near and yet so far
rich and vivid sunsets
the marker of our time
see the light feel its warmth
see the glow which fills the sky
a light with magic powers
which penetrates my heart
a light which wakes my senses
that sets my thoughts aflame
see the light, feel it's warmth
touch the glow, that fills the mind
is this the twilight of lifetimes gone, before
or is the night now over bringing forth, the dawn...dawn...dawn...dawn...dawn.
as in a raging tempest we hear the thunder cry
we see the trees fall victim
see spears of lightning fly
HEAR ME
dream or reality?
HEAR ME
is someone calling me?
end your bondage new and throw away your chains
no more hesitation, now's the time to change
leave the road you're on for there's a better way
be just what you are and let your spirit free
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
the questions without answers
are written on the wall
the please of spray can poets
who heeds them when they call?
HEAR ME
dream or reality
HEAR ME
is someone calling me?
end your bondage now and throw away your chains
no more hesitation, now's the time to change
leave the road you're on for there's a better way
be just what you are and let your spirit free
follow the light have no fear you won't burn your eyes
follow the light feel it's never ending warmth, it can heal the blind
follow the light have no fear you won't burn your eyes
follow the light it's your future you will realize
follow the light feel it's power feel it in your soul
follow the light it is here, it is there, it is everywhere, everywhere you go
Nightridersgood and bad watch out for nightriders
at night the streets become their sole domain
there's no escape no matter how you try
motorcycle, flaming eyes
that's the law now a badge and a gun
once they were there to defend and to serve
now controlling everyone
law enforcement soldiers men made for war
what was once called justice stands unopposed as the law
we warn our children of the nightriders
you might not see them but they're always there
don't make mistakes for they don't understand
look into their eyes
you'll be caught now you're trying to run
see an escape but you won't get away
they ask no questions they reach for the gun
law enforcement soldiers men made for war
what was once called justice stands unopposed as the law
from my roof I am watching the scene
see the beams of their lights in the dark
nightriders patrolling our dreams
law enforcement soldiers men made for war
what was once called justice stands unopposed as the law
law enforcement soldiers men made for war
what was once called justice stands unopposed as the law
MetromaniaAt last I realize, I see the world through different eyes
now there's a feeling of joy in my heart
you know there was a time when doubt and strife controlled my life
until I felt it would tear me apart
I was so lonely, waiting hoping for sight in the dark
and it was only the light inside that provided the spark
a sudden vision of the world around that pushed me to rhyme
another range of possiblilties justified my time
here from my roof I see a scheme of things which pleases me
no desperation no fear and no doubt
I use to kneel and pray I could some day break away
but I don't need to I've found my way out
I was so lonely, waiting hoping for sight in the dark
and it was only the light inside that provided the spark
am I a madman out of control?
or the only one aware of his soul?
my hideaway my place to stay
my refuge lies in metromania
my sanctuary, my satori
my freedom lies in metromania
oh yeah
am I a madman out of control
or the only one aware of his soul?
my hideaway my place to stay
my refuge lies in metromania
my sanctuary, my satori
my freedom lies in metromania
