1. Cliffhanger 2: Hang On

[Music: Gary Wehrkamp and Brendt Allman]
[Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: Carl Cadden-James]

There I was I was hanging around
Two Fingers down one to go
Then suddenly from below she emerges
Sultry swingin' from a rope
"You've got something I need so just give me your hand"
Trust is something that I just got to give into
My Black widow or friend?
Well? In the blink of an eye systems deploy
And we are off baby off on the run
Bullets raining on down
Wind driven snow here we go
Amidst the fury I was clinging onto her
As our tether slid down the cliff
She wouldn't answer pressed a
Poison tip dagger to the base of my neck
"how bout we strike a deal all your secrets for your life"
She was good and she was getting better
Might just hafta hang on for a while
Fighter planes start to dive
A barrage of gunfire
Rips through the snow
Snipers bearing on down
She turns to me
But we're not lost
We're just going with the of another busy day
Hey baby welcome to my crystal palace
Just what did you expect
I turned in time to see the avalanche start
A freight train right at my head

2. Cliffhanger 2: The Crusher

[Music: Gary Wehrkamp]

3. Destantion Unknown

[Music: Gary Wehrkamp]
[Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: Carl Cadden-James]

Picture home years ago and tell me it's you
Of all the roads a man could take
How mine has lead form you
And like a lighthouse
Set on a rocky coast amidst the storm
Your touch was warm and real
Looking out your window
Just what might lie ahead
Dreams still blow in the wind
And here we are memories run deeper and true
I'll always take you with me when I
Freefall Freefall
And the whole world goes to sleep
As a child the grand expanse the future must hold
Days to night waves washing over and over
And over your experience you
Lived each day like it's your last
Oh we never know how it goes
Oh we never know
And I won't leave you don't leave me but then again
Just who can stop falling over fall into the
Mystery predestination brings
YOu wrote your epitaph
With every move
Thru your love
Thru your love

4. Colors

[Music: Gary Wehrkamp]
[Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: Mike Baker, Gary Wehrkamp]

Out of the blue
Everything seemed so new
The sun rising lights up my face
Fading from green
No more thoughts to deceive
For seasons of lost hope may change
Ahh - so many different colors
Ahh - The colors are changing
Moments in time
When the words didn't rhyme
Unsure what the future would hold
As days turned to nights
I chased rainbows of light
Finding no gold
No magical fountain of gold
Ahh - So many different colros
Ahh - The colors keep changing
So many different ways to look at things
I turn around I'/m upside down again
If nothing ever changes it's my point of view
That I can't lose
The skies fiery red
I will journey ahead
To show you how far I have flown
New day in my life
Flashing hope by design
I've finally found my way home
Ahh - So many different colors
Ahh - Now my world is slowly changing
So many different ways to look at things
If you've fallen down you gotta get back up again
So many different shades of everything
Now I see with open eyes a brighter world within
The skies forever changing that's the point of view
I just can't lose
This new born wisdom guides me through
Feel the cool winds of heaven
In the blue of your eyes
Dreams of you and I together
A love we cannot deny
Feel the tide of the ocean
On and on 'till I see your light
And the warmth of the sky
On and on
Passion breathes wtih emotion
We will soar
We will soar with wings on high
On high
On high...
So many different ways to look at things
If we've fallen down we gotta get back up again
So many different ways the colors change
Every time I turn around we're hanging on the edge
Our skies forever changing that's the point of view
I give to you
I know that time will see us through
I hope the colors soon find you

5. Society Of Mind

[Music: Brendt Allman, Gary Wehrkamp]
[Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: Carl Cadden-James]

Brand new day
Somewhere so far away
A global village awakes and starts to crack the open airway's
Cause the tiger's escaped
He tore right out of his cage
It's like a spark to a flame
Assimilating it's collective on the way
Like turning on a light the brain's online tonight
All around the world
That freedom in the air big brother is aware
Or within my dreams?
And do you think it dreams of life are we the air it needs?
Are we the air this beast needs to breathe
The engines's tuned and clean time for man and machine to join
Society of the mind
School today
A sea of seething rage
And on the menu in the lunchroom we got Ritallin and Prozac
So I can concentrate
On my next level in Quake
Where I can shoot them I can kill them
And dehumanize the cancer in my veins
Online you gotta sell your virtual as hell
All around the world
That freedom in the air big brother is aware
Or withing my dreams?
And do you think it needs your soul once your inside it's mind
Once your inside the mind of the world
The Code is running lean time for mand and machine to join
Society of the mind
Are you waiting for the strike
New Religion overload
Like turning on a light the brain's online tonight
All around the world
That freedom in the air big brother is aware
Or within my dreams?
And do you think it dreams of life are we the air it needs?
Are we the air this beast needs to breathe
There's lightning on the screen now watch man and machine will join
Society of the mind

6. Legacy

[Music: Gary Wehrkamp]
[Lyrics, Vocal Melodies: Carl Cadden-James]

Future's here
The time has come to pass the torch
Now go and touch the sky every time that you breathe
I hope you've learned
To covet not the evil ways
Live your life
Free free
From carnal lust
Hedonistic decadence and lies
Are you strong?
Turn from heathen ways?
Will you ride?
Ride with me the open road
Part of me is now part of you
My legacy is how I live on
The circle formed
We are joined across space and time
Many days will pass you by
And you'll still hear these words to you
Many things to realize
The hope I give sustaining you
Wear the armor of righteousness each day
Then forever in glory we'll remain
Will you bend?
When the hammer falls?
Are you steel?
Inquisitions search you out
Part of me is now part of you
My legacy is how I live on
The circle formed
We are joined across space and time
Part of you is now part of me
Our legacy it's how we live on
Relational bonds
Not just wayfaring souls set to fly
Away

7. First Light

[Music: Gary Wehrkamp]
[Lyrics and Vocal Melodies: Carl Cadden-James, M. Baker, Gary Wehrkamp]

From the first gray light of the morning I've been gone
On my journey towards the stars
Will I know when I reach the other side
The earth so blue it's like I'm dreaming
Now I'm on my way
Tainted shadows fall like rain
Through the dark vast weight only silence lingers on
The origin of existence lies somewhere far far beyond
I feel unattached tranquility
A hand from the heavens guiding me
And wondering where this path will lead
In a dream I'm lost and
Floating through the atmosphere
Searchig for significance against
Infinity eternity
I've been taken by the vast and
Humbled by the weight of what I've seen
You know they called for heros
Cause heros carry on
In know the world is fading
So from the first gray light of the morning I've been gone
Now I pray for a better life
For all the ones I love
We search beyond our reach
And turn our gaze above
I hope that it's the way
To fill our basic needs
And my sacrifice not vain
And I'll return again
The sands will filter through the timeless hourglass
As I pass beyond the god of war
Distant voices hear them crying out
I must seek out new worlds and explore
And I know that there just must be a place
We will carry on
Where our children can be free from the pain
The human race
It must be somewhere out in space
The sands will filter through the timeless hourglass
As I pass beyond the god of war
Distant voices hear them crying out
I must seek out new worlds and explore
And I know that there must be a place
It Must be somewhere out in space
Silver moonbeams relfect the sun
Martian Landscapes worlds beyond
I touch down with no trace
No sign of life on this place
Now I feel a surge of energy
The deepest passion burns in me
Somwhere there is a world not left
To die
The stars will shine their light down unto me
Illuminating
The stars will shine their light and I will see
Will I find my way?
So back to the darkness I fly
In search of a hope in the sky
I should have known right from the start
I'll not return home
It seems so surreal as I go
The knowlesdge of science alone
Can't save all the people I know
That I've left behind
The sun I know is growing smaller
I drift for days on endless hours
And what's there to fear now!
No messages are getting through
I fall into the black abyss of night
I'm gone
The pioneering spirit charges the unkown
Accept the consequence of risk
I'm all alone here
Don't know if I'll return and
The fate of life is on my heart
I left a dying world behind
On my way oh
Where s our oasis in the sky
The future of our race
I left a poisoned world behind
Now I see there's no
Heaven bound oasis in the sky
Only dreams
I've got no destination
Helpless I drift on
The weight of silence how it's eating at my soul
And yet I sense a stirring
Something so spiritual
I wonder if the fate of mankind
Is in the hands of a higher power calling to us all
I left a dying world behind
On my way only
God can stop the spiral down to hell
The future of our race
I left a poisoned world behind
Now I see only
Heaven's the oasis in the sky
It's my dream
