La La La Lal Dhaga I see the weaving of lights Way up in the sky, there is someone who calls Oh let me climb higher than clouds Free from this land Drain all of my tears Let my love flow like a sea Gagan, Dharthi, Admai, Hamara Ghar La La La Lal Dhaga Breeding the children of god He, only the one that is brighter than stars Oh save me from demons of greed And all of my fear Stay out of the war Let my love flow like a sea Gagan, Dharthi, Admai, Hamara Ghar La La La Lal Dhaga Reason is clear when you’re born Life given to all of the wombs that are blessed Oh let me climb higher than clouds Free from this land Drain all of my tears Let my love flow like a sea Gagan, Dharthi, Admai, Hamara Ghar Gagan, Dharthi, Admai, Hamara Ghar

Solitary Friend 04:35
lyrics

Dreaming like an angel with the wings Howling just like some of weary beasts Seeing without knowing why But I feel just like a king Strong but weak, this foolish saint A clown inside the bright shade You can always laugh at me without reason why Don't you know you’re weighing on your spell You're no stranger at night But a solitary friend Find me, I am near and far away Feel me deep inside your dying soul Take me to your paradise Now you're seeing who you really are I am made of grain of sand You can always break me I'm riding high and low, going back and moving on Spin around and 'round and 'round Mmm..a solitary friend Strong but weak, this foolish saint A clown inside the bright shade You can always laugh at me without reason why Don't you know you're weighing on your spell You're no stranger at night But a solitary friend And I feel just like a king Well I know you may never find me here A solitary friend

BELIEF 04:13
lyrics

Everything I say is just a fraction in my head But I know it's true, take me as I am Oh they say and they hear They go wild on little lines they find untrue No it's never real Wait and see, their lies fade Override, our friends are the ones that are meek Got me standing in line and when the cries are close to hear On the run with the heart of stone, taking no ashes of life Lead your way, we're the one that you should trust Guiding light on your way Take my word, this story never ends Follow my belief Like a flash in the dark No matter where you stand and see my point of view It'll always be the same Never fear your life flies Night and day, no mystery ever reveals Hear the voice from above and we'll fight the fire with fire We'll be building your sacred ground Burning it all and for all Lead your way, we're the one that you should trust Guiding light on your way Take my word, this story never ends Follow my belief Lead your way, we're the one that you should trust Guiding light on your way Take my hand, this story never ends Follow my belief, belief

Drawing near, a feeling of cold embrace Voices heard, a tone in dismay Lord I'm in fear And the stars may fall from grace oh oh Well can you hear the man scream, he's right beside you One place he had in his mind He'd seen it all, the madness in you One day he waved the world good-bye Vision led on, if you were here with us today Would you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders If you were here with us today, ah ah ah Bring on the power of Man within a man, a song without a rhyme I know that I was a slave I gave it all and I'll go on giving all I can Until I wave the world good-bye So if you're standing in the back at the theater of pain Don't play with madness and lies Insanity, the world is so wrong Someone controlling your lives Vision led on, if you were here with us today Would you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders If you were here with us today, ah ah ah Vision led on, if you were here with us today Would you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders If you were here with us today, ah ah ah Vision led on, if you were here with us today, ah ah ah Vision led on, if you were here with us today Would you feel the weight of the world on your shoulders If you were here with us today, ah ah ah

Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh oh Day to day, I have stood by the ocean Yesterday and today Oh the waves of the sea, how they grieve Singing along with my heart beat Sail away, now my boat of the ages Cast away and away I’m alone in the land, born to roam And it's calling again in my sleep Life is a journey and life is a drift Wander the darkness to home, home So I lay here alone by the stream Dream about all the past You were there now you're gone from the haven And I know that I don't belong here Life is a journey and life is a quest Wander the darkness to home, home Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh oh Day to day, I have stood by the ocean Yesterday and today Oh the waves of the sea, how they grieve And I know that I don't belong here Belong here Don't belong here here oh oh oh Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh, Oh oh oh oh oh oh

The Parallel 05:36
lyrics

Reason for this cause and strife, I'd say Losing a hold of clarity An ordinary mind, misleading knowledge We surf on the sonic waves, sail and drift in space And trail the king of spades, caught in the odds we feel Bringer of fortune and strength draws the lines of grades As all of us are guided to this parallel, yeah Waiting for this moment, so they say We're on the edge of sanity How wrong and how absurd, rules of the tyrant We surf on the sonic waves, sail and drift in space It's all uncertainty fooling us day to day Illusion has brought us to see, the castles in the air As all of us are guided to this parallel We surf on the sonic waves, sail and drift in space And trail the king of spades, caught in the odds we feel Bringer of fortune and strength draws the lines of grades As all of us are guided to this parallel

Mistreated mind calls for discord And madness stalks, that's all it takes Burn it all and save your soul The tainted words will make you blame Then twist your mind to shameless grace Leave it all and stay away Love is always flowing in the sea of hate You and I in this trampled state Dreaming of the city Where we'd lean on trust in god And we'd take hold in our land, hand in hand Just when you thought you made it through Another struggle leads your way Might as well, be brief and belie Want you, stay away, the son Want you, stay away, the son Want you, stay away, want you, want you, want you Descending light moves through the night The sound of blast then children cry Seen it all before my own eyes Love is always flowing in the sea of hate You and I in this trampled state Dreaming of the city Where we'd lean on trust in god And we'd take hold in our land We cease, turn to the sand of home Want you, stay away, the son Want you, stay away, the son Want you, stay away, want you, want you, want you

The Daughter, will you dream tonight And see me shed the tears Then hold me like you did before When we were on the run Daylight now it never shines, the sky is so far away I don’t belong to the world full of hate But I know we must face the day Daughter, will you dream tonight And see me smile like a child Lonely is the word tonight The bird can't fly no more I'm needing your caress and touch But I don’t live in a shame Wild dog now he never howls, home so far away I don’t belong to the world full of lies But I know we must carry on Daughter, will you dream tonight And see me smile like a child Oh carry on, carry on, carry on till the end Oh carry on, carry on, carry on till the end The daughter, oh oh oh
