EXXPLORER LYRICS

1. Rockin' Bound

Days on the road
They disappear
Got sixteen tons of gold
Take your turn
Watch the candle burn
But they are all aglow

From a whisper to a scream
We are the living proof
From the cradle to the stage
Among the wasted youth

I, I looked at you
You looked at me
We shook the house
Now we'll break it down
I, I got what you need
Ecstasy
We rocked the town
Now we're rocking bound

We'll be there almost everyday
Eighteen wheels a-rolling
Take your turn
Watch the candle burn
Our age is rock 'n' rolling

From a whisper to a scream
We are the living proof
From the cradle to the stage
Among the wasted youth

I, I looked at you
You looked at me
We shook the house
Now we'll break it down
I, I got what you need
Ecstasy
We rocked the town
Now we're rocking bound

I, I looked at you
You looked at me
We shook the house
Now we'll break it down
I, I got what you need
Ecstasy
We rocked the town
Now we're rocking bound

2. Life's Seduction

The crossroads of my mind
Take me across the fields to a place in time
Where all I see is real
Pitched a path to go
And take it to the end or to you know
That fate can hide its face from you and me
From you and me

Memories trapped inside that bring us here
To the point in time
Are ours for eternity
As the years fall in line
Hold them close and you'll feel fine
Content as you can be
As you can be
As you can be

Wide is the gate
Broad is the way
That leads to self destruction
Turn, for it's late
Trapped you will stay
Caught in life's seduction

The time is spent, now left behind
You chose one and I chose mine
Deflect our memories
For you and me
For you and me

Wide is the gate
Broad is the way
That leads to self destruction
Turn, for it's late
Trapped you will stay
Caught in life's seduction

Wide is the gate
Broad is the way
That leads on to self destruction
Turn, for it's late
Trapped you will stay
Caught in life's seduction

3. One

[Hary Nilsson cover]

One is the loneliest number
That you'll ever do
Two can be as bad as one
It's the loneliest number
Since the number one

No is the saddest experience
You'll ever know
Yes, it's the saddest experience
You'll ever know

'Cause one is the loneliest number
That you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number or would it be two

It's just no good anymore
Since you went away
Now I spend my time
Just making rhymes of yesterday

One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number
That you'll ever do
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest
One is the loneliest number
That you'll ever do

It's just no good anymore
Since you went away

Number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
That you'll ever do
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
One is the loneliest number
That you'll ever do
I'm so lonely
I'm so lonely
I'm so lonely

4. Bible Black

Look to the sun
For you know it's the only one
The only one you can count on
Day and night, to light the moon
Isn't it funny
Though it's great it can't be bought
They can't be had for any price you pay
The ones you see shall afford today

Bless the sky that's above you
And the ground at your feet
Find it hard just to listen
Pray to God it will take

With unfortunate eyes, you have seen
The one whom have committed the sin
You are only to blame, only to blame

Bible black, they just crumble
Burning fast as to flame, you're ready as you stumble
You shall kick deep in your shame

With unfortunate eyes, you have seen
The one whom committed the sin
You are only to blame, only to blame

Look, look at yourself
Clenching your hands, trying to run
Open your eyes, hoping to hide
The deeper you run, the damage is done

Excellence you have jumbled
Falling deep you wake
Frightened, had you stumble
Bible black at your feet

With unfortunate eyes, you have been
The one whom committed the sin
You are only to blame, only to blame

Look, look at yourself
Clenching your hands, trying to run
Open your eyes, hoping to hide
The deeper you run, the damage is done

I can't take this much more
Shame and guilt rule my soul
If I die, I'll be released from this pain
I regret all my sins, I regret what I've done
The meaning of my life flashes by

Look, look at yourself
Clenching your hands, trying to run
Open your eyes, hoping to hide
The deeper you run, the damage is done

5. Smelling The Roses

When I open my eyes, I see darkness
My body doesn't move, it seems lifeless
I think I had my last day on Earth
Think of life, what was is worth
Was it worth the suffering pain

Was it worth the suffering pain
And if I had the chance I'd do it all again
Would you be there, could you be there
When I'm smelling the roses, would you be there
When I'm smelling the roses, would you be there

6. Rock The Nation

Rock the nation
Can you hear me sing it
One more time

In a place long ago
On a land where we fight to be free
The voices of music was scarce to the minds
Something new, it was yet to be heard
Distant voices across the waters
brought the gift from far away lands
To soothe their minds, to soothe their souls
The people danced and danced

Can you hear me sing
Rock the nation
Can you hear me saying
One more time
Can you hear me say it
Can you hear me say
One more time tonight

Time prospered and people grew
Compositions multiplied
The sound waves across the land
From city to the mountainside
All the visions of the masters
Sent the sound through the air
And through it all rock emerged
And now rock lives everywhere

Can you hear me sing
Rock the nation
Can you hear me saying
One more time
Can you hear me say it
Can you hear me say
One more time tonight

All the people of the nation
Gather round and hear the song
Hear the sound, the pulse is racing
There's something for everyone
All around the people we know
We can do what we want to do
Anyplace you want to go
We know we have the right to be free

Can you hear me sing
Rock the nation
Can you hear me saying
One more time
Can you hear me say it
Can you hear me say it
One more time tonight

7. Beg, Borrow And Steel

We were hungry in the worst of times
Yet they knew what they could do
Content with excellence, but they knew to take to heart
Running low and getting lost

You've got to cry before you can speak
I long for this train to crash
Is it time to pull it apart
How long will this vision last

Beg, borrow and steel
How much pain is there to feel
Beg, borrow and steel
Beg, borrow and steel
Beg, borrow and steel
Beg, borrow and steel
Beg, borrow and steel

We were strong, we follow this code
But not for long, our music is gold
We're in over our knees, we beg through the night
Won't slave to command, won't give up the fight

You've got to cry before you can speak
I long for this train to crash
Is it time to pull it apart
How long will this vision last

Beg, borrow and steel
How much pain is there to feel
Beg, borrow and steel
Beg, borrow and steel
Beg, borrow and steel
Beg, borrow and steel
Beg, borrow and steel

We were hungry in the worst of time
Yet they knew what they could do
Content with excellence, but they knew to take to heart
Running low and getting lost

You've got to cry before you can speak
How long for this train to crash
Is it time to pull it apart
How long will the vision last

Beg, borrow and steel
How much pain is there to feel
Beg, borrow and steel
Beg, borrow and steel
Beg, borrow and steel
Beg, borrow and steel
Beg, borrow and steel
On your knees
On your knees
On your knees
Beg, borrow and steel

8. Just A Dream

Woke up this morning
Get off your lazy ass
It is your last warning
And you're not going to last

I try to drag, you kick and fight
I'm trying all
I stay in limbo almost every night
I can't believe the spell you've undergone
We install a pledge of gentle sleep
When it's over you can say
I'm glad it's happened that way

It's just a dream
It's just a dream
Just a dream

I can't believe the words you say
I can't even listen to your breath
I'm going to fight, for it's OK
The many time I dream of day

It's just a dream
It's just a dream

I feel the crowd inside of me
The end is near, I do believe
What is this madman I've become
I can't believe what my eyes see
As I dream, as I dream
Slowly bleeding, it's just a dream

9. Ride The Storm

Once in a later time, we cruised the sea
Across the oceans we would glide
The search of answers for a better life
A crew and ship side by side

Adjoining in search of pleasure
Many battles for the bold
Sending the ships into trouble
A promise to battles you have won
The lightning crumbles from the sky
Taking count, many die
The lightning crumbles

Ride the storm
Ride the storm
Ride the storm

We were wasted back in battle
It seems that it would end
Boast a cry from the sky
The sound whispers I

So the word tells a story
Of a voyage in our time
The storm sent its curse
We were frozen to the seas
