First Act – Album Lyrics

Back to First Act Album

Checkmate

Remember the time I said to you the door is open
Remember I said I need you too well I lied
Whatever it takes to get you through
Dreams are broken
Its time you paid your due
But you think you’re no. 1

I cannot believe the things you say to me
I cannot survive the love that’s given
I will not succeed if you are next to me
Can’t stay on this ride you’re not forgiven

I never knew I’d think this way
A pain revealed
How I want you to pay but my lips are sealed
Can a love be turned to hate in a single moment
I guess this is our fate
We live in torment

I tried to tell what I was thinking
Let’s bail out now this ship is sinking
It will be hard  but it’s the only way
You’ve played your card now it’s Checkmate

Say It Again

Well here we are again
Can I have my little say
I hope you take the time to listen
While I try to convey

I! Am not alone
You know I’ve got your back
How long do we suffer in silence
Wait for the next attack

Oh – I – thought
I’d never have to say it again

Head east to the mighty kingdom
See who you find there
The clown prince and all his minions
Perched upon his chair

Hey! Can you believe it
Each and every word
Why! How! Did it happen
Seems to be absurd

Oh – I – thought
I’d never have to say it again

Promised Land

I see right through you

Welcome in please take a seat the show’s beginning
Now come up fall off your feet but leave your money
Give me more I’ll give you a sign
Forgive your sins
Turn your water into wine just don’t drink it

I see right through you

Now listen to me
This is where it all began
Seated at the right hand
The way to the promised land

You could see but now you’re blind to all of my lies
Did you take the pen and sign
I’ll see you next time
Wish you well now on your way
You are now healed
Don’t call us or have your say
Your fate is sealed

Now bow before me
You are my lamb
You see it don’t you
The falling sand

Now listen to me
This is where it all began
Seated at the right hand
The way to the promised land

(Preacher)

Don’t Stand Alone

Here we go again my friend
This is not the bitter end
That’s all I know

When all is said and done
You’re not the only one
It’s time to go

And I’d give it all to you
There’s nothing else that I can do
Don’t stand alone
I’m right over here waiting for you

Here we go again my friend
This is not the bitter end
That’s all I know

And I’d give it all to you
There’s nothing else that I can do
Don’t stand alone
I’m right over here waiting for you

Common Cause

It’s so hard
Played my card
The road less travelled is it right

My silence
Your violence
What if I can’t see the light

Catch me as I fall
Don’t you want to have it all
Opening out to let you in
It is time to begin again

I push through
To guide you
You strip me to the bone

As expected
We’re rejected
Pull the pin your seed is sown

Drifting further every day
It is hard to find the way
So the story goes
Watch my back and I’ll watch yours
We will find a common cause
Don’t you know

Lighten Up My Day

Dark clouds are rolling my way
But that don’t mean you can’t have your say
You’re on the outside looking in
This is where we will begin

When you lighten up my day
You help me find my way
You keep my fears at bay
Lighten up my day

The shroud is pulled aside
It opens up before my eyes
The path is laid before me
That is when I hear you call me

Please help my friend
I’ll be there at the end
Trust in me
I trust in you
We have nothing to lose

Into The Fray

Where am I at
Away on the other side
How do I get to you
I don’t want to be your fool

Hey - That is what they say
No - That is not the way
Yeah - Step a little further
Now - Come into the fray

Standing on solid ground
I don’t want to let it go
Shining beneath my feet
There’s something I can’t repeat

I’m a little off
Cannot stand the heat
Away like a broken cinder
Tell me what you find there

Under Fire

Come here the accused
Take the stand
Do you believe it
Now raise you hand
How does it feel
Every eye is looking at you
Where is my appeal

I know you will try and stop me
Stay low
Keep under fire
Out of your reach
Out of your way
You suit them to a tee
You are a liar

I rule you now
You stand forgiven
Chastised you bow
Take your sentence
Walk down the line
The faces stare at you
Far from sublime

Nothing To Lose

Pack your bags we’re on the move
No direction here we go
Leave behind nothing to prove
Looking forward to overthrow

Door is cracked and the light shines in
Tempo rising pick up the thread
You are on the earth again
Take the first step and begin

All I know
Is all I can do
The way to go
Nothing to lose

Look around see where you are
Catch your eye you’re on your way
Take in it and look that far
Don’t look back and wish it away

Conflict Within

Look over there
They see you
Out of your chair
You think about it
Conflict within
It begins
Nowhere to run
Contemplating
Look inside
It lets go
Takes control
Scintillating
Start to sweat
But you know
You accept
There’s no escaping

Throw it all away
Time is on your side
All I wanted you to say
Come here don’t hide

Drawn back in
Won’t let go
Hold on tight
Navigating
All your might
Feeling low
Starts to hurt
Will is breaking
Light goes on
Start to shake
You know you
Will never take it
Hand moves on
You let it go
You are free
You will escape it
