Redux

by LorD and Master

Brought up on broken promises A thousand time I've tried Nose pressed against the windowpane To fathom why they lied A carefree kid, a golden child Starting life so sure That everyone and everything Would always be that pure But how soon disappointment came In ever cleve guise I realised the sham of life Reflected in my eyes Shattered dreams Shattered dreams Promises never kept Teardrops shed a thousand times A thousand times I've wept Crystal fragments Sapphire blue Cascades of silver tears Waterfalls of love and hate Down throughout the years Sounds and smells of times of gone by Echoes of distant years Hazy memories Summer nights A lifetime's hopes and fears Sitting here and gazing out Through the looking-glass Wondering how we came so far with futures built on pasts Please tell me what it's all about What it's all been for We live our lives We love our lives But still we quest for more And in the end when life is done And we're in our winter time Tell me, was it worth it Was life so very fine? Was life so very fine? Was life so very fine?

Watch them all fall down I used to rule the world Seas would rise when I gave the word Now in the morning I sleep alone Sweep the streets I used to own Watch them all fall down I used to roll the dice Feel the fear in my enemies' eyes Listen as the crowd would sing "Now the old king is dead, long live the king" One minute, I held the key Next, the walls had closed on me And I discovered that my castles stand Upon pillars of salt and pillars of sand I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain Once you'd gone it was never Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world All day all day Watch them all fall down All day all day Domino dancing It was the wicked and wild wind Blew down the doors to let me in Shattered windows and the sound of drums People couldn't believe what I'd become Revolutionaries wait For my head on a silver plate Just a puppet on a broken string Oh, who would ever want to be king? I hear Jerusalem bells are ringing Roman cavalry choirs are singing Be my mirror, my sword and shield My missionaries in a foreign field For some reason I can't explain I know Saint Peter will call my name Never an honest word But that was when I ruled the world Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

When the smoke rises You feel the flame When it all goes wrong You take the blame Nobody wants it to be you But you do Say the words But it's too late You could have left it to chance To luck, to fate Nobody wants it to be you But you do Where can we Go from here What is left to say? You can't just disappear But I can't make you stay We laughed too hard Some say It was wrong somehow But in the light of day Who's laughing now? With the damage done It feels the same Where the silence hangs A crying shame Nobody wants it to be you But you do As the light goes out The darkness calls As the laughter stops The silence falls Nobody wants it to be you But you do

Maybe now's the time/To let it fade away Although I stayed awake/A nightmare came that day Somehow we lost the light/That kept us strong enough To weather the storm/When things got tough Now I'm only doing what I'm doing to get over you To get through Doing what I have to I feel I've lost control/I'm so hot and cold I don't understand/Why these events unfold It's like another life/Came to an end I lost a lover,/I lost a friend Sometimes I want it all back/Sometimes Sometimes I just need you near Maybe now's the time/To let it fade away Although I stayed awake/A nightmare came that day

Problems at home/You're on the phone Leaving a message/After the tone Wallpaper ripped/Secrets have slipped They know the answer/The balance has tipped All/In the mind It was all/In the mind You search/But you can't find That it was all/In the mind Bigmouths delighted/With rumours ignited Problems rush in/As yet, uninvited Tension mounts still, pop/Another pill Can't afford to miss work but/You're feeling so ill You rush forward fast/The present has passed Where are you now and/How long will it last? With those you call friends/Their peculiar trends You think you've a place in their/Lives, but that ends It's all been too much/The pressure and such Your body lies still/And cold to the touch You've left it behind/They've wept 'til they're blind And just to think it was/All in your mind

She dreams of getting out but she's Lost to the world With no-one to understand No-one to understand She paints a picture of the world Where she feels loved But nobody understands Nobody understands It's getting harder to smile in the dark In a city full of hurt And there's no way she can delve into love Streaming tears, she's down to dust And she feels She feels She feels like crossing over She feels She feels She feels like crossing over Now Pain is over Pain is over now Pain is over Pain is over Pain is over now

Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could Little things I should have said and done I never took the time But you were always on my mind You were always on my mind Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine If I made you feel second best I'm so sorry, I was blind But you were always on mind You were always on my mind Tell me Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me One more chance to keep you satisfied Satisfied Little things I should have said and done I never took the time But you were always on my mind You were always on my mind Tell me Tell me that your sweet love hasn't died Give me One more chance to keep you satisfied You were always on my mind You were always on my mind You were always on my mind You were always on my mind You were always on my mind You were always on my mind Maybe I didn't treat you Quite as good as I should Maybe I didn't love you Quite as often as I could Maybe I didn't hold you All those lonely, lonely times And I guess I never told you I'm so happy that you're mine Maybe I Didn't love you Maybe I Didn't love you

I can't believe I think we've made a new connection You and I Go arm in arm and head to head in this direction And don't ask why We could see the world together Underneath the stars It could change our lives for ever This love of ours Don't look back Turn it on Take a leap of faith You won't fall 'cause I'm here to catch you Looking out Turn it up Take a leap of faith You won't fall 'cause together, we fly I wanna see your body moving to the kick drum Feel the bass And you should know that in this club you're not just someone When I see your face If you take my hand then I'll know You wanna take me out We can leave this club and then go See what it's all about Feel me Next to you Feel my Heart thumping Feel how I love you Feel the Music pumping Music pumping Pumping Pumping

They walk along the bay/They swim there/Every day If those boys knew/They wouldn't dare It's not like today when they/Wouldn't care No need to rush it Everything to live for Theirs, all the time At swim, two boys At swim, two boys Drowning in their love Here's a photograph of me/Keep it with you/When you leave There's a war that/We must fight Please come back and we'll/Get it right

I don't want to say goodbye
