- Day After Yesterday -
THE PAST (R. Deaton)
I don't know this place I am, it seems to be a different world.
Where's the Doorway to my land ?
Man is beast and Beast is King, and there's just not anything.
I CANNOT ESCAPE THE PAST...
It's a different time in space, prehistoric human race .
Questions lie in History.
My existence turns surreal, hesitation starts to build.
I CANNOT ESCAPE THE PAST...
You and I, are million years apart.
Live or Die, I'll keep you in my heart.
Will I leave here, or have I come too far ?
In the distance I can see a cosmic doorway waiting for me.
WHAT AWAITS BEYOND THE PAST?
THE FUTURE (R. Deaton/D. Foshee)
1) Buildings high as any mountain, ships that navigate the stars. But something here is sadly missing as people try to hide their scars.
In this land of future places, hollow eyes and empty faces. Though I've been here for a while, it seems to me I haven't seen a smile...
“YOU are the one,” said the strange old man as he wanders up to me. “YOU could have made a difference, ...but YOU were too busy to see ! ”
2) I see the boy and feel an anger, ...hurt and anguish pierce his heart. The future's not what I imagined, Why'd the future fall apart ?
The hollow eyes and empty faces, POWDER KEG- the time clock races. In the cards, the old man swore he saw the chosen one come through the door...
“YOU are the one,”cried the strange old man, as he wanders up to me.“YOU could have made a difference, ...but YOU were too busy to see ! ”
3) I see myself for my true colors, the boy beckons me with desperate eyes. Worn shoes, his clothes are tattered, ...hangs his and starts to cry.
Crossroads of true decisions, well aware of cosmic vision. Looking at the toxic sky, I turn my head as I just walk by...
“YOU are the one,” pleads the sad old man as THE Door comes into view. “YOU'LL have to made a difference ".
I know now what I must do!
THE PRESENT (R. Deaton/D. Foshee)
1) Walking down the street, with the heat of the day on my brow. Battle plan complete, the future hangs on what I do now.
I see the boy again, just the same as he was the last time. Battles yet to win, WAR is waged in the hearts and in minds.
He came in through the door unheeded, disregarding what proceeded. Bringing only what was needed, set to change the world.
He brought the PRESENT... He brought the PRESENT.
2) Gazing at the land, he looks as if he's seen the last sign. Reaching out my hand, he puts his tiny palm within mine.
He looks at me with eyes of wonder, set to cure societal blunder. Time and space will tear asunder; now's the time for change and...
Mend the PRESENT ... Mend the PRESENT.
3) The boy begins to change into the shape of the old one. As he starts to fade, he looks at me and says, " Well Done !"
You must protect what is tomorrow; once destroyed, you cannot borrow. Lost Today, ...the Future's sorrow. When it comes to change,
WE CHANGE THE PRESENT… (3x)
SILENT STONE (R. Deaton)
Every languange has its secrets, words without a name. Though it looks familiar, ...meaning's not the same.
Ancient culture phrases, unknown to other lands. Ancient people's words scatter like the sand.
Alone in isolation, countless eons spanned. Accidental excavation, one stone in Egypt sand.
SILENT WHISPERS, SILENT STONE...
They don't know that they had found in the hot Egyptioan sand, hiding in the unknown signs, ... the key to foreign lands.
As puzzle pieces fell, the mystery solved. Open understanding, Cryptic text dissolve.
No more isolation, all secrets known. Deciphered ancient language, all secrets shown.
SILENT WHISPERS, SILENT STONE...
SILENT WHISPERS, SILENT STONE...
FADE AWAY (R. Deaton)
(In loving memory of Phuong “KIM” Deaton)
1) Restless winds...blowing new seeds of change.
Restless Hearts...chasing dreams out of range.
Restless souls...crossing eons of time.
Searching alone...seeking perfect align.
CHORUS:
Out of time...Out of place.
Homeward bound, without a trace.
Destiny, ...mysteries softly embrace and Fade Away.
2) Recovery...from the pain that we bear.
Discovery...from the path that we share.
CHORUS:
Out of time...Out of place.
Homeward bound, without a trace.
Destiny, ...mysteries softly embrace and Fade Away.
Softly embrace and Fade Away.
3) Clarity...as the light shines the way.
Destiny...will unfold...and...
Fade Away...
Fade away...
Fade Away...
VOICE OF FREEDOM (R. Deaton)
1) The night is HOT, the temperatures RISING.
The talk of War is not surprising !
Your stare is cold, ...your heart unyielding.
Instead of burning bridges, ...we should be building !
2) Love fails, with warnings unheeded.
The point of no return exceeded !
Your touch is cold, so unappealing.
What's left of me, you'll just be stealing !
CHORUS:
Voices Matter , Voices Change.
Voices Heal and Rearrange.
Voice of Freedom never sways, Voice of Freedom never plays...
(REPEAT CHORUS)
- The Fifth Element -
THE GREAT AWAKENING (R.Deaton & D. Foshee)
1) Open your eyes and see the Great Awakening,
Open your eyes and see the world is changing.
Open your eyes and see the Great Awakening,
Open your eyes and see the new world turning, learning.
Open your heart and feel the spirit of free will,
Open your heart and feel your spirit growing, showing.

It’s easy to cry when your back’s against the wall.
Open your eyes, don’t miss your wakeup call…
2) Open your eyes and see the Great Awakening,
Open your eyes and see the world is changing.
Open your hands and find the things you left behind,
Open your hands and mold a new beginning, amending.
Open your mind and write new chapters in your life,
Open your mind and draw a new direction, perfection.
CHORUS :
It’s easy to try when your know you cannot fall,
It’s easy to cry when your back’s against the wall.
Open your eyes, don’t miss your wakeup call…

Open your eyes and see the world is changing.
Open your heart and know there’s so far yet to go,
Open your heart and feel the spirit burning, learning…growing, showing
A Different Place in Time (R.Deaton)
1) I woke up this morning, feeling that something wasn’t right.
I knew that is was daytime, but suddenly it turned to night.
When the darkness cleared there were feelings in the air that didn’t rhyme.
Looking at the castle with the tassels and the knights all in a row, now I know,
… A Different Place in Time, A Different Place in Time.
2) Walking down the street with the heat of the day upon my brow.
I felt a sudden change and I saw the doorway coming from the south.
The doorway overtook me and it shook me and I knew what I would find.
A place I’d never been before when through the door I saw the Future show,
Now I know,
… A Different Place in Time, A Different Place in Time.
3) I’d never believe all the places that I’d seen unless I’d been there.
I know it’s not a photograph, the images were real without compare.
The travels that I had today, was it real or just my imagination?
The Future’s in the past, will it last or will time like water flow?
Now I know…
THE NIGHTMARE (R.Deaton)
1) I heard The Nightmare sing,
That there’s not anything
That we can do or say
To change the Human way.
2) The Nightmare sang its song,
It said that we are wrong.
It says just who will kill,
Innocent blood will spill.
CHORUS :
And I say, “Who is this Nightmare?”
And I say, “Who is this Nightmare?”
3) I heard The Nightmare call,
It said that we were all
Condemned to pay the price
For our lost paradise.
Chorus)
And I say, “Who is this Nightmare?”
And I say, “Who is this Nightmare?”
4) The Nightmare is no dream,
The voice became a scream.
I heard and now I see,
The voice belongs to me.
CHORUS :
Now I know, I am the Nightmare!
Now I know, I am the Nightmare!
Element: FIRE (R.Deaton)
1). One spark… and life begins.
One spark… and life can end.
A shining light… burning bright.
Glowing fire within.
2) The mask of darkness fades,
The task at hand will aid.
A source of life…cuts like a knife.
Through winter cold and shade.
3) One-fifth of what is needed…Sustaining core
Combine the blocks of life… complete the score.
The stage is set, a lifeline… to greater cause
Without heat sustained… man falls.
Pre-Chorus :
Softly…glowing embers…embrace thenight.
Warmly…primal action… by candlelight
CHORUS :
One torch can light the way.
Two hearts can change the day.
Three times the voices say,
Love is the Fire.
Passion ignites the soul,
Like friction sparks the coal.
Accelerate the goal,
Love is the Fire…burning desire.
4) We time the outlook…to what we see.
We hope the outcome…is what we need.
Pre-Chorus :
Softly…glowing embers…embrace the night.
Warmly…primal action… by candlelight
CHORUS :
One torch can light the way.
Two hearts can change the day.
Three times the voices say,
Love is the Fire.
Passion ignites the soul,
Like friction sparks the coal.
Accelerate the goal,
Love is the Fire…burning desire.
5) There comes a flame that can…scorch the Earth.
Through burning ashes comes new rebirth.
Pre-Chorus :
Softly…glowing embers…embrace the night.
Warmly…primal action… by candlelight
CHORUS :
One torch can light the way.
Two hearts can change the day.
Three times the voices say,
Love is the Fire.
Passion ignites the soul,
Like friction sparks the coal.
Accelerate the goal,
Love is the Fire.
Love is the FIRE!
