MASTERMIND LYRICS

1. Under The Wheels

There were five more murders in the city today
That makes 400 this year and it's only May
And they wonder why I have anxiety attacks
As I light up a cigarette and try to relax

Then some punk downtown breaks my jaw with a rock
So now I stay home and keep my doors locked
My next door neighbor he decided to cope
With a high powered rifle applied to his throat

This isn't the world I was promised as a child
With corporate and government greed gone wild
Now it's clear to see it's all lies we've been taught
As we're thrown under the wheels... of the juggernaut

Will you just stand there and watch the world in flames?
And point your finger at the one they say to blame
With all their answers enforced by massive wealth
It's their intention to protect you from yourself
See you in hell...

And government cures only make things worse
While they take their pay raise right out of your purse
And the poor have nothing but anger and hate
And murderous rage at their injust fate

And the world has become a far more dangerous place
As we fight for possession, religion, and race
You can see now it's all lies we were taught
As we're thrown under the wheels... of the juggernaut

2. Inferno

[Instrumental]

3. Dreaming

I never had the answers, I never had a plan
I don't know where I'm going but I do know where I am
And it's all so clear after all these years
I've cast off my burden and dried my tears

Now I dream my life away - I'll be OK
Dream my dreams all day - I'll work another day

And though they always told me I wouldn't go far
I'd never own a big house or a shiny new car, well
I guess that it's a good thing that your life isn't mine
I'm sorry if it bothers you but I'll be just fine...

How dare you! Think you’re different! Something special!
Just who do you think you are?
As I dream my life away - I think I'll be OK
Dream my dreams all day - What can I say?

I'm living in a dream world, I know that I do
But I've known what I wanted my whole life through
And I'd give anything to make it true for a moment
Can't you see?

Now I dream my life away - I'll be OK
Dream my dreams all day - I'll work another day
Dream my life away, Dream my life away

4. The Tempest

Time comes upon us when everything must change
And in the aftermath and the rubble that remains
It all seems so hopeless with nowhere left to turn
Under the gun and down to the wire,
it seems you would have learned
And where are the reasons that once stood out so clear?
In a haze of compromise they've all seemed to disappear

When the winds of the tempest... tear your world apart
Stay true to what you believe and follow your heart...

As the sun beats down upon your back in burning pain
Crawl across the desert sands, it all seems so in vain
Reach for the highest heights but pray don't fall from Grace
It's not so important if you win or if you loose the race
Will the winds of the tempest tear your world apart ?

And now the storm is gone - the winds have passed
The Sun will shine and I am free at last
I'm free at last...
In in my past...

When the winds of the tempest... tear your world apart
But no need to be afraid if you follow your heart
Follow your heart...

5. As It Is In Heaven

There were times when I was angry
but they really weren't so bad
Cause I never could seem to stay mad at you
And sometimes I get lonely and feeling sad
but I always had hopes to hang on to you

Like a beacon of hope that has
cut through the dope and the circumstance
Like a light at the end of the tunnel
if your willing to take the chance
One step closer

Time passes slowly and never seems to change
Face each day on down the line
When there's nothing left to do but pray for rain
Change the water into red wine

And a beacon of hope has
cut through the dope and the circumstance
Like a light at the end of the tunnel
if your willing to take the chance

One step closer - to your heart's desire
Feel the fires again
One step closer - take a chance on you
For a love as true... on earth as it is in heaven.

6. Jubilee

[Instrumental]

7. Too Much To Ask For

You know the story's told
Long before you get old and grey
You make your own mistakes
And now it's much too late to change them

I've had that invitation - it's so hard to decline
But you just can't stay away
Your brain went on vacation
there's nothing there to find
But you must find your way

And where you've you made your tracks
There is no turning back again
You chose the road yourself
You sat up on the shelf forever...

I've had that invitation - It's so hard to decline
But you just can't stay away
Your brain went on vacation
there's nothing there to find
But you must find your way

One more chance is all I'm asking
One more chance to set things right
Is this too much for me to ask for?
And will I ever get it right?
Before I die

Can you resist temptation
like you've never known before?
Or you just can't stay away?
Your brain went on vacation
your heart fell to the floor
And you can't find your way....

[repeat chorus]

Before I die

8. Until Eternity

[Instrumental]
