DETONATE MY DREAMS (C. McLaughlin)
Endless train of thought running through my mind
Things aren`t what they seem in these treacherous times
Currents shift
We swim against the tide
Unbelievers dressed in smiling suede
Can`t fill the void
Can`t dull the blade
All counterfeit and gimcrack cheats selling the truth!
This generation knows it
This desolation shows it
This detonation can lift you high
Fascination feeds on jagged lives
With a silver palm and a bunch of fives
Setting your feet on a one way street
It`s a road to ruin!
This generation knows it
This desolation shows it
This detonation can lift you high
Detonate my dreams
Detonate my dreams
Turning back the clock reverse in time
Talking sideways with no reason or rhyme
All by themselves in a private hell
The chosen few
This generation knows it
This desolation shows it
This detonation can lift you high
This generation knows it
This desolation shows it
This detonation can lift you high
CATCH A FIRE (R. O`Gormain / C. McLaughlin)
I`ve got a new lease of life
My spirits are high
I`m on course for the time of my life
I`ve had to search to find
So I`ve ducked and dived
Through the flim flam that`s been flung my way
Second guessing is fine
But you should take my advice
Don`t turn your back on what you know to be true
Black lies make your white lies darker
Black lies make your white lies darker
I want to kiss the sky if I can reach that high
Catch a fire in my burning hands
What I`ve found is so good
Make you shake in your shoes
Leave you buzzing like a cheap TV
Take you out of this world
Might make your blood curdle
Open doors and set your freedom free
I want to kiss the sky if I can reach that high
Catch a fire in my burning hands
Got a new gift of sight so clear and so bright
That leaves me dazzled like a newborn child
I sensed a soar
A glide across some great divide
That left me speechless in the light of day
I want to kiss the sky and I can reach that high
Catch a fire in my burning hands
Catch a fire in my burning hands
Catch a fire
Catch a fire
LAST OF THE TRUE BELIEVERS (R. O`Gormain / C. McLaughlin)
A million moonbeams
That shine throughout the night
Lines that can trip you up
Disguised and out of sight
You`ll sense before you see
And when push comes to shove
Find out when it`s too late
Too much is not enough
Mirages disappear
Transparent in the night
Firefrozen destiny
Grows warm and should ignite
Imagination pales
And when the countdown starts
Obstacles start to shake and fall apart
Here I am
The last of the true believers
Here I am
The last of the true believers
Taking time
To chase my dreams once more
Life`s best kept secrets
The target`s in my sights
So much that keeps me up
Inspired to scale new heights
All points eventually to
Shooting stars that melt
A million frozen heartbeats
Here I am
I am the last of the true believers
Here I am
The last of the true believers
Taking time
To chase my dreams once more
I am the last of the true believers
I am the last of the true believers
I am the last of the true believers
The last of the true believers
The last of the true believers
Articulate your rage
Through times that squeeze this tight
Our chosen destiny is cool and should excite
We`ll face it all head on
And when the breakdown starts
All fears will rot and shake and fall apart
Here I am - the last of the true believers
Here I am - the last of the true believers
Taking time
To chase my dreams once more

TOO LATE BLUES (R. O`Gormain / D. O`Néill)
How can you lead your life
Feeling no fright nor fear
How can you lose so fast
That`s something not too clear
I`ve found that look without you
Nothing soiled nor pure
`Cos what you need to see`s an everchanging world
I`ve seen that look in your own eyes
How in hell can you pretend
Surprise
Nothing`s the same yet nothing`s changed
Feel forever blowing in the sky
Could you have tried to love me
Desire seemed so real
I saw that need inside you
Why feel so unsure
Heightened and flat out senses stalling once again
Words read too often pleasures dying once again
I`ve seen that look in your own eyes
How in hell can you pretend
Surprise
Nothing`s the same yet nothing`s changed
Feel forever blowing in the sky
So all frustration heartache`s been left behind
Seems all I can remember
Is the lies lies lies cold lies
I feel empty I feel dark yet there`s a spark
That lights this darkness deep inside
That fights this darkness deep inside
That lights this darkness deep inside

7TH WAVE (C. McLaughlin)
Heart murmur still of night
Waiting for day
The cool and the light
Catch the seventh wave
Words that taste so sweet
Day hardly breathes
Feelings ferment and flood
Torch tomorrow`s fears
Things that amaze me
Blind and daze me
are few and far between
Guessing games dull your aim
But I feel close to ecstatic
To ecstatic
Simple twist of fate
Kindles the fuse
Falling into place
Solving all the clues
Heart murmur still of night
Waiting for day
The cool and the light
Catch the seventh wave
Things that amaze me
Blind and daze me
Are few and far between
Guessing games dull your aim
But I feel close to ecstatic
To ecstatic
INFINITE THRILL (C. McLaughlin)
Velvet glove and laundered bills
Happiness in poison pills
This sleight of hand can tie us all in knots
Wiseblood count is low and might just clot
Second chances don`t exist
Miracles must not be missed
Days can smoulder crimson into night
Promises that stretch without requite
Dizzy infinite thrill
Girlsoul overspills
Radiate recreate
Those chromosomes are honeycombed and heaven sent
Heaven sent
It`s an infinite thrill
Such an infinite thrill
Tantalise with just one taste
All emotion is unlaced
No more searching seeking high and low
Second best to nothing that I know
Dizzy infinite thrill
Girlsoul overspills
Radiate recreate
Those chromosomes are honeycombed and
Dizzy infinite thrill
Girlsoul overspills
Radiate recreate
Those chromosomes are honeycombed and heaven sent
Heaven sent
Heaven sent
Heaven sent
Infinite thrill
Such an infinite thrill
SPEED OF LIGHT (C. McLaughlin)
Tired of hanging round
Shangri-la is burning down
I`m not going to play
Waiting games
Hating games all the same
If we`re not out by tomorrow we`ll be lost in space
Look around this town
Overactive upside down
They don`t even know they`re alive
You and I`ll take a dive
Accidentally on purpose disappear
Out of sight out of mind
We can sparkle and shine every night
And I know you by heart we can make a new start
Getting out at speed of light
Tired of hanging round
Shangri-la is burning down
They don`t even know they`re alive
You and I`ll take a dive
Accidentally on purpose disappear
Out of sight out of mind
We can sparkle and shine every night
And I know you by heart we can make a new start
Getting out at speed of light
Out of sight out of mind
We can sparkle and shine every night
And I know you by heart we can make a new start
Getting out at speed of light

SHANGRI-LA (R. O`Gormain / C. McLaughlin)
Picture a world of your own deepest wishes
I know it`s secrets of delights so delicious
You sense the words that will weaken my resistance
Lighter than air total magical existence
Shangri-la
You`re my keeper
Shangri-la
The sweetest feeling of all
Magnetic lips radiant and luminescent
Deep summer nights shimmering and phosphorescent
Dazzling allure that leads on in one direction
Pleasure of love feeding on this sweet confection
Shangri-la
You`re my keeper
Shangri-la
The sweetest feeling
Sweetest feeling of all
Picture a world of your own deepest wishes
I know it`s secrets of delights so delicious
Shangri-la

HEARTBEAT MOSAIC (R. O`Gormain / D. O`Néill)
Love`s rhythms
Can trace what memory has dissolved
Silhouettes and daydreams
Moonbeams and maybes cloak them all
In the common currency of the heart and soul
Of the heart and soul
Heartbeat mosaic still waits and whispers
Fills you with promise and wonder
Let me drink in it`s vast emotions
And sunkissed oceans
That make me feel so real
Like lullabies you treasure
And never measure the depth of hope
Vignettes and visions
Cool streams of pleasure cloak them all
In the common currency of the heart and soul
Of the heart and soul
Heartbeat mosaic still waits and whispers
Fills you with promise and wonder
Let me drink in it`s vast emotions
And sunkissed oceans
That make me feel so real
Love`s rhythms
Can trace what memory has dissolved
Silhouettes and daydreams
Moonbeams and maybes cloak them all
In the common currency of the heart and soul
Of the heart and soul
Heartbeat mosaic still waits and whispers
Fills you with promise and wonder
Let me drink in it`s vast emotions
And sunkissed oceans
That make me feel so real
METAL MYSTERY (R. O`Gormain / C. McLaughlin)
I have dreams of better times to come
I`d like to voice them show how my feelings run
Black clouds there to trip me up
False horizons there to mix you up
You`re caught and frenzied behind your front door
You know the score
Psychobabble metal mystery
Setting fire to forgotten history
Every dog has it`s day
Chewing on razorblades
But you can`t teach a zealot how to pray
You`re always sucking up and spitting down
Brains to burn and a head that`s underground
But all in all you know you just don`t care
Those hollow voices can`t make you scared
Follow the rhythm of metal mystery
Every dog has it`s day
Chewing on razorblades
But you can`t teach a zealot how to pray
Black clouds there to trip you up
False horizons there to mix you up
Follow the rhythm of metal mystery
I`ve wasted time in places you`ve never been
I`ve sweated blood over people who are not my scene
Every dog has it`s day
Chewing on razorblades
But you can`t teach a zealot how to pray
Every dog has it`s day
Chewing on razorblades
But you can`t teach a zealot how to pray
