SWEET LEAF

Alright now!

Won't you listen?

When I first met you, didn't realize

I can't forget you or your surprise

You introduced me to my mind

And left me wanting you and your kind

I love you.  Oh you know it.

My life was empty forever on a down

Until you took me, showed me around

My life is free now, my life is clear

I love you sweet leaf - though you can't hear,

Come on now - try it out

Straight people don't know what you're about

They put you down and shut you out

You gave to me a new belief

And soon the world will love you sweet leaf.

AFTER FOREVER

Have you ever thought about your soul - can it be saved?

Or perhaps you think that when you're dead you just stay in your grave

Is God just a thought within your head or is he a part of you?

Is Christ just a name that you read in a book when you were in school?

When you think about death do you lose your breath or do you keep your cool?

Would you like to see the Pope on the end of a rope - do you think he's a fool?

Well I have seen the truth, yes I've seen the light and I've changed my ways

And I'll be prepared when you're lonely and scared at the end of our days

Could it be you're afraid of what your friends might say

If they knew you believe in God above?

They should realize before they criticize

that God is the only way to love.

Is your mind so small that you have to fall

In with the pack wherever they run

Will you still sneer when death is near

And say they may as well worship the sun.

I think it was true it was people like you that crucified Christ

I think it is sad the opinion you had was the only one voiced

Will you be so sure when your day is near say you don't believe?

You had the chance but you turned it down now you can't retrieve.

Perhaps you'll think before you say that God is dead and gone

Open your eyes, just realize that he's the one

The only one who can save you now from all this sin and hate.

Or will you still jeer at all you hear? Yes - I think it's too late.

EMBRYO,CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE

Revolution in their minds

The children start to march

Against the world in which they have to live

And all the hate that's in their hearts

They're tired of being pushed around

And told just what to do

They'll fight the world until they've won

And love comes flowing through.

Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today

Will the sunrise of tomorrow bringing peace in any way

Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear

Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear?

So you children of the world, listen to what I say

If you want a better place to live in spread the word today

Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave

Or you children of today are children of the grave.

ORCHID,LORD OF THIS WORLD

You're searching for your mind don't know where to start

can't find the key to fit the lock on your heart

you think you know but you are never quite sure

your soul is ill but you will not find a cure.

Your world was made for you by someone above

but you choose evil ways instead of love.

You made me master of the world where you exist

the soul I took from you was not even missed.

Lord of this world

Evil Possessor

Lord of this world

He's your confessor now!

You think you're innocent you've nothing to fear

You don't know me, you say, but isn't it clear

You turn to me in all your worldly greed and pride.

But will you turn to me when it's your turn to die

SOLITUDE

My name it means nothing

my fortune is less

My future is shrouded in dark wilderness

Sunshine is far away, clouds linger on

Everything I posessed - Now they are gone

Oh where can I go to and what can I do?

Nothing can please me only thoughts are of you

You just laughed when I begged you to stay

I've not stopped crying since you went away

The world is a lonely place - you're on your own

Guess I will go home - sit down and moan.

Crying and thinking is all that I do

Memories I have remind me of you

INTO THE VOID

Rocket engines burning fuel so fast

Up into the night sky they blast

Through the universe the engines whine

Could it be the end of man and time.

Back on Earth the flame of life burns low

Everywhere is misery and woe

Pollution kills the air, the land and sea

Man prepares to meet his destiny.

Rocket engines burning fuel so fast

Up into the black sky so vast

Burning metal through the atmosphere

Earth remains in worry, hate and fear

With the hateful battles raging on

Rockets flying to the glowing sun.

Through the empires of eternal void

Freedom from the final suicide.

Freedom fighters sent out to the sun

Escape from brainwashed minds and pollution.

Leave the earth to all its sin and hate

Find another world where freedom waits.

Past the stars in fields of ancient void

Through the shields of darkness where they find

Love upon a land a world unknown

Where the sons of freedom make their home.

Leave the earth to Satan and his slaves

Leave them to their future in their graves

Make a home where love is there to stay

Peace and happiness in every day.
