Soul Attack 03:39
Soul Attack Gone colour blind, black turns to grey So much things I got to do but I wake up with the same old blues This city’s a bind, can’t see my way Trying to stay positive – trying to believe Doing the best I can Prescription in my hand This is just where I’m at Under a soul attack I’ve always been a mess Still I know that I’m blessed This is just where I’m at Under a soul attack The beauty I see just gets me down 20 milligrams should do but I wake up with the same old blues It’s all about me, and my black cloud Give me something else to sing – give me anything Doing the best I can Prescription in my hand This is just where I’m at Under a soul attack I’ve always been a mess Still I know that I’m blessed This is just where I’m at Under a soul attack I tell myself to breathe I tell my heart, you can believe I tell my feet to move I tell myself, nothing to prove I tell my spirit fight I tell my eyes, look to the light I tell my bones, no need to crave I tell my god, my soul to save Doing the best I can Prescription in my hand This is just where I’m at Under a soul attack Oh it's stormy weather now Send me a rainbow down This is just where I’m at Under a soul attack

Funny Thing 02:58
Funny Thing When he says he’s sorry, he’s been acting cold there’s a little story, and now it’s getting old Love hit him right between the ears Infatuation created fears Every time he saw her he would lose control so he ran away just to protect his soul Yes it’s true, love can make a fool of me and you but it’s what we do All this feeling, oh it’s such a funny thing Darling I’m unsure but love is a potion that we can’t ignore Always meddling, my emotions on a string I never felt like this before When she’s in a daydream, she’s behaving strange searching for the meaning, sometimes it goes this way Every time she saw him she was overcome But he had the look of someone on the run So she tells him all about the way she feels Then he disappears like someone’s on his heels Yes it’s true, love can make a fool of me and you It’s just what we do All this feeling, oh it’s such a funny thing Darling I’m unsure but love is a potion that we can’t ignore Always meddling, my emotions on a string I never felt like this before This is a common story that’s been played too long and nobody is right and no one’s wrong They say women are from Venus and men from Mars and Venetians love to marry and the Martians love their cars But I don’t go for all of that ‘cause I believe evolution has allowed us some reprieve You are you and I am me so let’s just get together let ourselves be free All this feeling, oh it’s such a funny thing Darling I’m unsure but love is a potion that we can’t ignore Always meddling, my emotions on a string I never felt like this before No I never felt like this before No I never felt like this before

Die Laughing 04:18
Die Laughing When I reach the end of time, see the things of me and mine I’ll know my life was just a fake, it’s more than my soul can take and I’ll feel nothing. I'll feel nothing. I sit and wait under the stars and wonder where the hell you are. You and me, we’re just too far gone, my message is a home-made bargain. Love someone, you’ve gotta love someone. Winter comes and my freedom goes. Where it goes nobody knows. I’m sick of wearing these old clothes, they don’t stop the wind that blows. And there’s a wind blowing a wind blowing. I said I don’t wanna be like those I see who wait for things that come for free No I don’t wanna be like those I see who wait for things that come for free All I hope for is the change of seasons as I leave this stage. No time to rearrange, gotta take things as they come my way and die laughing I’m gonna die laughing Die laughing I’ll die laughing. I am only what I am and no one else will give a damn when I’m down there on my knees looking for a God to please only Love matters only Love matters. When my life’s in tatters only Love matters. Only Love matters only Love matters.

Soldieress 03:16
Soldieress Sisters, follow your heart. I'm a Soldieress, and I share my blood with you I'm a Soldieress, and I know you feel it too. Now i might wear a dress, flash my eyelashes but I know there's work to do. Yes a man's impressed when he sees me coming but I know that I'm more than they view. Let me tell you fellow sisters that the war ain't over yet. And while these high heels give us blisters, may we never forget That a Soldieress keeps on loving but she knows when enough is enough. Never taking less than she knows she's worth. And we don't say yes when we mean no We make that clear from the start. Noone's got to guess, because we keep it simple. We always follow our heart. 'Cause we a Soldieress, and we never give up fighting just to keep our spirits alive. All around is stress in a word where the fittest survive Yes we laugh and we cry and we bleed, and we try and we fail and succeed. Whether you carry a baby or you love to cook for your man, whether you walk like a lady or you're making your very own stand. Whether your hair is in ribbons or whether it's under your arms every last one is a winner as long as you follow your heart. Soldieress, keep on fighting Soldieress, follow your heart. Soldieress, keep on loving Soldieress Bless.

In My Blood 03:22
In My Blood It’s always been my way to wait for yesterday Silence has been my game but now I’m ready to change I always understood that holding back was good. But there’s a fire inside so that I just can’t hide ‘Cause it’s in my blood like it always was In my blood all along I’ve got to do my thing, throw my head back and sing. Stand on a mountain top, shout it out til I drop It’s in my blood like it always was In my blood all along Love is in my blood, life is in my blood and the joy flowing It’s the love of God feel it in my blood music flowing I love you just the same but I’ve got to go my way. Come on, let down your hair come with me if you dare It’s in your blood like it always was In your blood all along It’s a blood thing 'cause the blood that I carry is pumping through the veins to my heart to my very soul and it flows and it flows. It’s a love thing and the love that I carry is flowing from my heart to connect with everything and it flows and it flows

Mr Damascus 05:02
Mr Damascus He came from a far away place He shone his light on my face I thought that I had gone blind but it was all in my mind Well I was sitting where he left me and I was trying to see where I went wrong because he shone a light into my soul and then he said Let me sing you a different song He said See the way the flowers grow they don't tell of what they don't know Birds of the air are so free they never lie they know how to be, so Walk in Truth and walk in Light, if you open your eyes I'm gonna give you sight I thought about this, I tried to resist but I came to the conclusion that he's right 'cause all through time and in my mind I see us running around blind in the night and we play our games 'cause we've got our aims and we don't mind shooting down the truth in flames But Love is like a thunder crash Love is like a burning flash Love makes us see a different way Walk in Truth, walk in Light You know the wrong from right Open eyes will give you sight even in the darkest night Only people wear faces try to cover their traces Listen to the birds sing they don't worry about a thing they just fly So I guess Mr Damascus is on his way but I still got that Light shining in my soul today And even though sometimes I feel the pain when I look around somehow my world is brighter Because I see the way the flowers grow they don't tell of what they don't know Birds of the air are so free they never lie they know how to be, so Walk in Truth and walk in Light, if you open your eyes I'm gonna give you sight Walk in Truth and walk in Light, if you open your eyes I'm gonna give you sight I'm gonna give you sight I'm gonna give you sight I'm gonna give you sight
