Breathe 03:39
Breathe like it's your last breath Live as though you don't fear death You might as well fly than fall You might as well try than stall Cause life's not getting any longer As the pull of time gets stronger So breathe Dance like it's your last dance Love like it's your last chance You might as well swim than sink You might as well do than think We all know we won't live forever This is our time, it's now or never So dance Sing like it's your last song Time is fleeting and we don't have long You might as well laugh than cry You might as well fail than never have tried The years are passing by so fast Once your future, now your past So sing, dance, breathe

I know it's not always easy Life can leave you hollow inside Stripped down and defenseless on a hellish ride Too many corners and angles The path ahead obscure and unknown But nothing is forever and you're not alone See the shadows on the run In the path of something better coming true Winter's time is almost done and the light is pushing through See the shadows on the run See the future stretching out before you In the golden summer sun there'll be nothing you can't do I know you've been cold in the darkness Chilled by every little mistake Sometimes it feels like there's nothing more you can take The wind is so bitter, the land is so hard Stagnation is so easy to do But nothing is forever and we'll see it through See the shadows on the run In the path of something better coming true Winter's time is almost done and the light is pushing through See the shadows on the run See the future stretching out before you In the golden summer sun there'll be nothing you can't do We're ready to shine We're ready, it's time We're ready to shine See the shadows on the run In the path of something better coming true Winter's time is almost done and the light is pushing through See the shadows on the run See the future stretching out before you In the golden summer sun there'll be nothing you can't do

Meet me by the river Underneath the willow tree Where the bitter fruits are hanging Bruised and lonely And when you look at me, tell me what you see Is it the girl that cried? Is it the girl that died? And when you left me here, did you still hold me dear Or was I just another player in your fantasy? When you look at me, tell me what you see Was I the girl who shared, or just the girl who bared? And now you see me sleep with secrets that I'll keep From now until forever locked inside of me Take me to the water, To the current cold and swift Where the bitter fruits are hanging Like a promise, like a gift When you look at me, tell me what you see Is it the girl that cried? Is it the girl that died? And when you left me here, did you still hold me dear Or was I just another player in your fantasy? When you look at me, tell me what you see Was I the girl who shared, or just the girl who bared? And now you see me sleep with secrets that I'll keep From now until forever locked inside of me Leave me by the river Where I feed the willow tree Where the bitter fruits are growing Bruised and lonely When you look at me, tell me what you see Is it the girl that cried? Is it the girl that died? And when you left me here, did you still hold me dear Or was I just another player in your fantasy? When you look at me, tell me what you see Was I the girl who shared, or just the girl who bared? And now you see me sleep with secrets that I'll keep From now until forever locked inside of me. Meet me by the river Where the bitter fruits grow

Battlefield 03:15
Here on the battlefield we will take a stand In the killing fields our test is close at hand We won't be bound, we won't fear death We'll hold our ground until our final breath Those who went before us stained the good earth with their blood And we who follow after feel their heartbeats in the mud The hounds of war are coming, howling death, despair and rage But our courage will sustain us as we meet them Here on the battlefield we will take a stand In the killing fields our test is close at hand We won't be bound, we won't fear death We'll hold our ground until our final breath There's no honour in this bloodshed but some things must be done As we tumble rank and file to never see the sun Some may call us martyrs and some may call us fools We're a band of angry comrades who remain unmoved Here on the battlefield we will take a stand In the killing fields our test is close at hand We won't be bound, we won't fear death We'll hold our ground until our final breath Here on the battlefield we will take a stand In the killing fields our test is close at hand We won't be bound, we won't fear death We'll hold our ground until our final breath

When the fears crawl to your door When your demons are as close as friends You know that we've been here before The darkest hour before it ends Tonight we'll leave it all behind, let the moonlight heal our scars Tonight we'll leave it all behind in the silence of the stars When the night is long and dark And the shadow wolves are drawing near All we need's the smallest spark To catch alight and burn away the fear Tonight we'll leave it all behind, let the moonlight heal our scars Tonight we'll leave it all behind in the silence of the stars On the razor's edge, hold me close, don't let me fall On the razor's edge, hold me close, don't let me fall Tonight we'll leave it all behind, let the moonlight heal our scars Tonight we'll leave it all behind in the silence of the stars Tonight we'll leave it all behind, let the moonlight heal our scars Tonight we'll leave it all behind in the silence of the stars

Thank You 04:09
I want to thank you, thank you, thank you I want to thank you for letting me be free I want to thank you, thank you, thank you, I want to thank you for giving me the key You've opened my eyes, where there were shadows, now there's light Now I can see the truth of what's in front of me I don't want to know your reasons, I don't have to know your why Now I have got the knowledge that I need I want to thank you, thank you, thank you I want to thank you for letting me be free I want to thank you, thank you, thank you, I want to thank you for giving me the key You've unlocked the door, I don't have to stay here anymore I can survive, I don't need you to feel alive When your mask fell shattered from you it exposed the core within Now I can leave the fantasy behind I want to thank you, thank you, thank you I want to thank you for letting me be free I want to thank you, thank you, thank you, I want to thank you for giving me the key I was blinded by the moon, until I saw the sun Dazzled by your glory, now it tells a different story I was yours, heart and soul. You had to let me go Now our time is through, I've no regrets, I'm done with you I want to thank you, thank you, thank you I want to thank you for letting me be free I want to thank you, thank you, thank you, I want to thank you for giving me the key I want to thank you, thank you, thank you I want to thank you for letting me be free I want to thank you, thank you, thank you, I want to thank you for letting me be me

I was looking for a pot of gold Had to settle for a pin I dreamt of a knight in armour bold Got a boy made out of tin Ooh what a rubbish fairy tale What a rubbish fairy tale This happy-ever-after thing Is so last hundred years The poisoned-apple book of lies Makes a mockery of tears Ooh what a rubbish fairy tale What a rubbish fairy tale I won't guess your name and I won't let down my hair I've kissed a thousand frogs and they're all still there You can keep your slipper, you can keep your throne All I want is a good book and a night at home. Ooh what a rubbish fairy tale What a rubbish fairy tale What a rubbish fairy tale What a rubbish fairy tale

Windmills 03:55
A note on the mirror, written in steam I can see clearly, through the glass nearly A chink in your armour, patched up with glue A smile sad as oceans, as you go through the motions You're tilting again at impossible windmills I'm helpless again as you fall to the night A page in your diary, a hole in your heart I understand partly, through the glass darkly A word left unspoken, a thorn in your mind You're turning away now, you've nothing to say You're tilting again at impossible windmills I'm helpless again as you fall to the night You're tilting again at impossible windmills I'm helpless again as you fall to the night

I was lost, I was running Found a corner I could hide in Hoped the dark would never come for me But my heart, it betrayed me Ripped apart and then remade me Now I'm not the girl I used to be Leave a light on so the angels can find me Leave a light on so the angels can find me I was torn, I was broken In the black, no-one to turn to Standing faithless on that frozen ledge Then you came, and you turned me In the rain your handprints burned me Left me spinning on that dizzy edge Leave a light on so the angels can find me Leave a light on so the angels can find me Leave a light on so the angels can find me Leave a light on so the angels can find me

Amazing 03:01
Can't hardly breathe, I can't believe That you are standing here with me Everything I always wanted You filled up my heart and tore apart Every doubt that plagued me Took away every question You are the sun in my sky You are the moon to my tide You are the reason I believe You are amazing to me Each time we kiss, I can't resist The promise implicit in your smile We've the got the world at our feet (The whole world at our feet) I look in your eyes and to my surprise I see my love reflected at me It takes my breath away (You take my breath away) You are the sun in my sky You are the moon to my tide You are the reason I believe You are amazing to me See the magic in you, see the magic in me See the magic of we See the magic in me, see the magic in you See the magic of two You are the sun in my sky You are the moon to my tide You are the reason I believe You are amazing to me

The skies are clear now, And I can see for miles and miles No matter what is thrown at me I turn the other cheek and I smile Learning to fly, I can believe That everything I've dreamt about is here inside of me Learning to fly, spreading my wings No longer tethered to the earth and petty gravity The page is blank now, But I can read the writing on the wall So many tears, so many years Of being afraid I might fall Learning to fly, I can believe That everything I've dreamt about is here inside of me Learning to fly, spreading my wings No longer tethered to the earth and petty gravity I thought I had nothing left to learn Perspective is everything from here at a distance I thought that I'd have to wait my turn Perspective is everything The air is pure now And distance is no further than my hand Come share with me, share with me The view of this green, pleasant land Learning to fly, I can believe That everything I've dreamt about is here inside of me Learning to fly, spreading my wings No longer tethered to the earth and petty gravity Learning to fly, I can believe That everything I've dreamt about is here inside of me Learning to fly, spreading my wings No longer tethered to the earth and petty gravity Higher and higher
