THE RING
Round your finger
Token of the love we give one another
Music of the future that we'll discover
Promises to keep more than any other
Symbolising all that we share
The ring is magic, the ring is power
Like a candle in the dark for everyone
The ring is madness, the ring is fire
And it burns with all the brightness of the sun
In a circle
Living in a world in perpetual motion
Turning with the tide of the restless ocean
Spinning on the wheel of your own emotion
Riding on a wild carousel
You'll be turning round and round
Round and round we go
Promises, promises, promises, promises
Round your finger
After all the years that we've been together
Walking in the sun and the stormy weather
Sharing in a moment to last forever
Memories and dreams without end
The ring is magic, the ring is power
And it finds you in the darkness of the night
The ring is madness, the ring is fire
And it guides you when you're blinded by the light
The ring is magic, the ring is power
Like a candle in the dark for everyone
The ring is madness, the ring is fire
And it burns with all the brightness of the sun
The ring is magic, magic, the ring is fire, fire
The ring is mine

UPPER ME
The time has come, the wild one said,
When we must all decide
We cannot carry on this way
And so we must divide.
The road before us runs both ways
So which one do you choose?
But all will not go well if you refuse
What becomes of the upper me
When the fire burns in my mind?
How can I leave my ego behind?
I return to another me or I lose the will to survive
How can I keep my hero alive?
It seems to me, the wise one said,
That mountains are so high.
The river is too deep to cross
And none of us can fly.
But I believe that compromise
Is what is needed here
Or surely we become the things we fear.
But the good in me don’t wanna believe
That the evil me is so
And a voice somewhere said 'do as you please'
But the upper me said 'no, no, no, no, no, no'
What becomes of the upper me
When the fire burns in my mind?
How can I leave my ego behind?
I return to another me or I lose the will to survive
How can I keep my hero alive?
But the good in me don’t wanna believe
That the evil me is so
And a voice somewhere said 'do as you please'
But the upper me said 'no, no, no, no, no, no'
What becomes of the upper me
When the fire burns in my mind?
How can I leave my ego behind?
I return to another me or I lose the will to survive
How can I keep my hero alive?
What becomes of the upper me
When the fire burns in my mind?
How can I leave my ego behind?

SIREN SONG
Days go by, adrift upon a rolling sky
The miracles escape my eyes, but I still hope
Time regret, is this as good as life can get?
It's only when the spirit sets me free I cope
If I seek in every corner,
If I search in every doorway
When the water turns to wine, will I believe?
If I navigate the river,
Would you take me to your island?
Sing a siren song so I can never leave
Long and wide, eternity from side to side
Lead me through the rapids, guide me to the shore
There's a place that's far beyond this time and space
When each of us comes face to face
With something more
If I open up the channel, will you send me information?
It you tune me to your station, I'll receive
If I navigate the river,
Would you take me to your island
Sing a siren song so I can never leave
Plans can fail but only fail to understand
The pyramid will turn to sand and I'll be here
I will be here
And I'll be here
I will be here

WINE FROM THE WATER
You can take me up, you can wind me down
There's no escape, but I'll never drown
No wires or strings, no rough and smooth
Just fire and stings, watch me closely
Watch my every move
I can count your money while I shake your hand
And you know I just can't lose
Wine from the water, gold from a tree
I wouldn’t fool you, there's nothing up my sleeve
Look for a mirror, there's nothing there
I get rings out of nowhere, money from thin air
I can break these chains while I'm upside down
Well it may seem strange I don’t hit the ground
Now you see my hand is quicker than your eye
You should know by now, what you see here
All of it's a lie
I can steal from your pocket when I shake your hand
And I know you can't refuse
Wine from the water, gold from a tree
I wouldn’t fool you, there's nothing up my sleeve
Think of a number, I'll get it right
Throw me in the river, tie my hands up tight
I can wind you up, I can turn you round
No cunning stunts till the lady's found
No coils or springs, just nice and smooth
No knaves or kings, find the lady, watch my every move
I can count your money while I shake your hand
And you know I just can't lose
Wine from the water, gold from a tree
I wouldn’t fool you, there's nothing up my sleeve
Look for a mirror, no, nothing there
I get rings out of nowhere, money from thin air
Wine from the water, gold from a tree
I wouldn’t fool you, there's nothing up my sleeve
Think of a number, I'll get it right
Throw me in the river, tie my hands up tight
Wine from the water, wine from the water
Gold from a tree, g-g-g-gold from a tree
I wouldn't fool you, you know I wouldn't fool you
There's nothing up my sleeve, no, no, no, no
Look for a mirror, look for a mirror
There's nothing there, you know there's nothing there
I get rings out of nowhere, I get rings out of nowhere
Money from thin air

BLUE, BLUE SKY
I only know what I can see
So I imagine what could be
Where the horizon cuts the air
Look for me out there
Someday I'll touch the blue, blue sky
Woah oh oh
Someday I'll touch the blue, blue sky
If I could kiss this earth goodbye
And cruise the never-ending sky
Where the horizon cuts the air
Wait for me down there
Someday I'll touch the blue, blue sky
Woah oh oh
Someday I'll touch the blue, blue sky
Oooh ooh ooh

BLOWN BY THE WIND
All along the shoreline
There are footprints by the sea
They head into the distance
Then they lead right back to me
I made the break to freedom
Now I'm following the dream
You're never going to get here
If you hold the old routine
Now everything that we possess
That fills our empty lives
Is only good for leaving far behind
We are blown by the wind
Just like clouds in the sky
We don’t know where we're going
Don’t know why
We just ride with the wind
And we'll drive through the rain
We don’t know where we'll get to
Or if we'll get back again
Call along the valley
And you just may find us there
I couldn’t say for sure
Because we may be anywhere
Head into the sunset
Or just wander out to sea
Wherever your heart leads you
Is the place you're meant to be
And someone who could be impressed
With ordinary lies
Could really use a little peace of mind
We are blown by the wind
Just like clouds in the sky
We don’t know where we'll go
But we'll get by
We just ride with the wind
And we'll drive through the rain
We don’t know where we'll get to
Or if we'll get back again
Now everything that we possess
That fills our empty lives
Is only good for leaving far behind
We are blown by the wind
Just like clouds in the sky
We don’t know where we're going
Don’t know why
We just ride with the wind
And we'll drive through the rain
We don’t know where we'll get to
Or if we'll get back again
