I. Introduction

instrumental


II. Never Pass Away
With the slip of hand and a boombox
I am the man with a plan and the drum drops
Going off to a place that I never knew
I don't mind doin' time goin' solo
All I know is there's so much I dont know
Im just lookin' for something to fall into

Im in control of having no control
Drudgery days I had to let them go
And seek to find
Some peace in my mind
And not look behind..

But theres a road in the blazing sun
There's a flow that I cant outrun
Ive got to find my life my way
To a world that will never pass away

In the heat of the day pushin midnight
I got nothing to say thats a sound byte
Life's too short for a bottom line
I don't want a cliche or a peep show
Say what you gotta say and then let's go
The world is waiting on the other side
There was a way I lived in humble pride
Everyday in spiritual genocide
The desert sand
The days of the damned
Left holes in my hand..

But there's a road in the blazing sun
There's a flow that I can't outrun
I've got to find my life my way
To a world that will never pass away
Never pass away

The bottom drops out and you're nowhere
Nowhere to be found
Lost in the tide of the other side
In the city of the sound
It didn't take long to change you
Promised son to a re-run
But truth never dies so lift your eyes
Forward to the... forward to the sun


III. Losing Your Soul

Live like a face card hangin in the window
Youre a big band blastin on the 4th of July
You got the babe Nazi - got the paparazzi
You can tell them all to wait 'cause their rules dont apply.. lets fly!

Jesus you loved him once when you were little
But you can't play second fiddle for some pie in the sky
Now the nice kids cigar is gettin fatter
But it doesnt really matter cause we're all gonna die
And you lie ¾ while gain the world's control
You might be losing your soul

The Calendar kid and the thin Mad Hatter
They all keep getting fatter from the seeds that you sow
It's really all you; you tell them youre a family
Youre a racer-embracer but it's all just a show
So you lie ¾ you might hit the highest goal
But youre still losing your soul
So you lie - while you gain the world's control
You might be losing your soul
You might be losing your soul


IV. The Mystery

Looking back you're reminded of the numerous losses
The losses that you knew from a previous plauge
In spite of the knowing and rather than growing
You come up with excuses intentionally vague

With obvious lack of heartfelt care
Stripped of all feeling emotionally bare
You find yourself just standing there
Trying to explain the mystery

Stagnant love of former generations
Built on pretense and conditional love
Your selfish soul feeds on past revelation
Holding the mystery in historys glove

With obvious lack of heartfelt care
Stripped of all feeling emotionally bare
You find yourself just standing there
Trying to explain the mystery


V. Some Kind of Yesterday

Timeline
Leaves you blind
No sense of depth or height
Beyond you
You step into
The raining rays of light

Some kind of yesterday
Is calling you from worlds away
And I've come to let you know
You cant get in without letting go
Let this other life
Have
Control

Sunshine
Pours like wine
Youre standing at the door
A silhouette
Its like youve met
But never known before

Some kind of yesterday
Is calling you from worlds away
And I've come to let you know
You cant get in without letting go

Some kind of yesterday
Is calling you from worlds away
The one you believed it then
Whose love for you will never end
He's calling you to rise
Rise Again!


VI. Never Pass Away (Reprise)

So the days in the desert sand
Makes the way for the happy man
By the blood of his greatest friend
Comes the one who has life again

'Cause there's a road in the blazing sun
There's a truth that I can't outrun
He led me out from the smoke and ash
With his love that'll never pass away

There's not much more I have to say
But that this place isn't far away
For all the ones lookin' for a place to stand
For everyone stranded in the cold dry land

There's a road in the blazing sun
There's a truth that we cant outrun
Hell raise us up from the smoke and ash
Theres a love that'll never pass away

There's a day that'll surely come
When well rise like the blazing sun
And we'll stand glorious at last
In a world that'll never pass
It'll never pass
It'll never pass away
