Tear apart the life and times of familiar faces
And tracing lines to what connects me and binds me to
Images of the remote and never changing
Grand designs, style and grace
And am I…

Lost in thoughts, on open seas, let the currents carry me
If I could, would I remain, another life for another dream?
No turning back, face the fact - I am lost in space and time
Standing here, looking back in time

One and all, let us celebrate the rise and fall
Celebrate the life and times of splendour
Desire and love, constant and never changing
The flow of time's closed-in lines
Can't tell if I'm just…

Lost in thoughts, on open seas, let the currents carry me
If I could, would I remain, another life for another dream?
No turning back, face the fact - I am lost in space and time
Standing here, looking back in time

Lost in thoughts, on open seas, let the currents carry me
If I could, would I remain, another life for another dream?
No turning back, face the fact - I am lost in space and time
Standing here, looking back in time

Lost in thoughts, on open seas, let the currents carry me
If I could, would I remain, another life for another dream?
No turning back, face the fact - I am lost in space and time
Standing here, looking back in time

No pride to feel, no waiting country
No parades to line your way
Though your hands may bleed, and your body may lie broken
Every storm must soon give away

Raise your head up high
Raise your head up high
So the heavens hear you cry
Light the brightest fire
From the highest mountain
So the whole world knows
That your spirit can't be broken

The rage you feel will consume you and destroy you
Let this rage inside you die
One day, you'll find the signs in every motion
Close your eyes so you might see
I will hold you still, every second of every hour
Let your actions speak your will

Raise your head up high
Raise your head up high
So the heavens hear you cry
Light the brightest fire
From the highest mountain
So the whole world knows
That your spirit can't be broken

Give up your fear
These senseless longings
Let this pain inside you die

Raise your head up high
Raise your head up high
So the heavens hear you cry
Light the brightest fire
From the highest mountain
So the whole world knows
That your spirit can't be broken

Until I should die, until I should break
Not a god, not a devil my soul shall take
If I should lie to betray myself
Then I would damn myself, and my soul forsake

I don't want fifteen minutes want a whole lot more
Don't want to suffer the fools and the spoils of war
I don't want fifteen minutes, or a reason why
I want a stainless steel road stretching off to the sky

I don't need sentiment, want, or hate on my mind
No crimes of passion or obsessions in kind
No walls, restraints, or momentary thrill
No blood on my hands, no time to kill

I want more body, I want more soul
Flip the switch to automatic, I want control

I want control

If I should give in, if I should turn away
Not a god, not a devil my soul could save
I want more body, I want more soul
Flip the switch to automatic, I want control

I want control

Build me a future, splendid and graceful
Make it better by design
Perfected strategies, applied technologies
A brighter future for a darker age

Before me a vision, forged with great intentions
Of generations yet to come
Aerodynamic dreams, across the stratosphere
Foundations for tomorrow's way of life today

Write a new world symphony, for the 21st century
The dawning of the age to come
Streamline simplicity, the renaissance of humanity
Avenues of light to guide us home

Discard the old regimes, failed ideologies
Draw the lines and start again
Build towers that pierce the sky, the figurehead of individual minds
Horizons unlimited, and unified

Potential overdrive, free thought and open minds
As if beams of photons lit the night
Electronic alchemists, in the new metropolis
Enlightened living through practicality

Write a new world symphony, for the 21st century
The dawning of the age to come
Streamline simplicity, the renaissance of humanity
Avenues of light to guide us home

Write a new world symphony, for the 21st century
The dawning of the age to come
Streamline simplicity, the renaissance of humanity
Avenues of light to guide us home

Leave this world behind, retrofitted and redefined
The dawning of the age to come
Streamline simplicity, the renaissance of humanity
Avenues of light to guide us home

It is not love, if love is cold to touch
It is not belief, when there's nothing there to trust
Could not submit, would never bring myself to heel
Determination grows, as each truth is revealed

Torn and repaired, just to endure it all again
Without a reason for my place in all this pain
Though well concealed, the scars they just compound
Until there's nothing left of what was once my former self

My god, look at what we are now
Without regret for all the things that we have done

Thank you for all the doubts, and for all the questioning
For all the loneliness and for all the suffering
For all the emptiness, and the scars it left inside
It inspired in me, an impetus to fight

For the conviction, for the purpose found alone
For the strength and courage, that in me I've never known
And if it seems to you, that my words are undeserved
I write this in gratitude for whatever good it serves

Sometimes I wish, that you could see me now
In the rightful place, where I knew that I belonged
Sometimes I wish, that you might someday understand
To close the chapter, and lay to rest the past

But nothing would change, we make the best of what we have
For we are measured, by the actions of our lives
We bide our time, let the future unfold
Like immortals, in great legends to be told

My god, look at what we are now
Without regret for all the things that we have done

Thank you for all the doubts, and for all the questioning
For all the loneliness, and for all the suffering
For all the emptiness, and the scars it left inside
It inspired in me, an impetus to fight

To all who stood with me, when we stood as one
Thank you for guiding me, for bringing me home
And if it seems that I'm obliged to say these words
I write this in gratitude, the least that you deserve

I long to feel my heart burned open wide, til nothing else remains
Except the fires from which I came
Like parted souls, divided for an age
Awe and wonder I'd embrace and the world anew again

But now, this picture from me fades
From still's cold hand there's no reprieve
Light the fire in me

Shine, shine your light on me
Illuminate me, make me complete
Lay me down, and wash this world from me
Open the skies, and burn it all away
'Cause I've been waiting, all my life just waiting
For you to shine, shine your light on me

I dreamed the world, with my eyes open
But time moved on and then, new worlds begin again
Oh my heart, in this universe so vast
No moment was made to last, so light the fire in me

Shine, shine your light on me
Illuminate me, make me complete
Please shine, shine your light on me
No hesitation, make me complete

Lay me down, and wash this world from me
Open the skies, and burn it all away
'Cause I've been waiting, all my life just waiting
For you to shine, shine your light on me

Words will never say enough
They are just born of hope that someone will even listen
In this solitude of hearts
In the traces that echo through the ether

Tied to meanings, bound to fate
Reassured by sounds that echo across the airwaves
Tuning through the waves
Of faint and distant signals, hoping someone's there

Oh have we tried too much
Traded innocence for promises of greatness
Left to search, left seeking out
For a part of us that is no longer there

With all the prowess we possess
Exchanged the greatest of ourselves for isolation
Gladly we smile and carry on
Unaware of the solitude we hide inside

Broadcasting live around the world
On the air in every land, on every frequency
Across the surface of the earth
To the furthest reach, this is our live transmission

To all the people of the world
Unrelenting, for all who are receiving us
From every station on the earth
Loud and clear, this is our live transmission
