aim</p><p>Alright you shot it</p><p></p><p>It's been so long your welcome back my friends</p><p>To the show that never ends</p><p></p><p>Do you know the score</p><p>Alright I hear you</p><p>I would make a play for sure</p><p>If I could only get near you</p><p></p><p>It's been so long your welcome back my friends</p><p>To the show that never ends</p><p></p><p>What's your name</p><p>I can't forget it</p><p>I've been there and back again</p><p>And I will never regret it</p><p></p><p>It's been so long your welcome back my friends</p><p>To the show that never ends</p><p><strong>Learning To Fly</strong></p><p></p><p></p><p>Jungles where the tigers sleep</p><p>The neon glares</p><p>And talk is cheap</p><p>Stairways that lead to dreams</p><p>You turn around</p><p>A siren screams</p><p></p><p>Energy glows in the heart of the city</p><p>You stand in the shadows or reach for the sky</p><p>This time the promise is not just illusion</p><p>I'm heading for glory, I'm learning to fly</p><p></p><p>Out there you feel the heat</p><p>It's face to face, I cross the street</p><p>Help me I've done a fare</p><p>I need a ride</p><p>So take me there</p><p></p><p>Everything's moving out of the city</p><p>They murder with kisses and then wonder why</p><p>Everyone's looking out over their shoulder</p><p>We've all gotta jump so I'm learning to fly</p><p></p><p>I see a figure there, look back at me</p><p>I stand and stare</p><p>Searching for sanity</p><p>To break the force of gravity</p><p></p><p>Learning to fly ect x 5</p><p><strong>The Miracle</strong></p><p></p><p></p><p>So here we stand between the gates</p><p>Upon the dawn the eagle waits</p><p>His tallons shine like daggers</p><p>On the wings of revolution</p><p>In pain the madman staggers</p><p>But there is no solution</p><p></p><p>Another sword upon a throne</p><p>But now the jester laughs alone</p><p></p><p>Beneath this cloak of treason</p><p>Appears a thousand faces</p><p>The truth must stand to reason</p><p>For those who's heart it chases</p><p></p><p>Beyond the world of mortal man</p><p>Within this sanctuary the spectre begins to tremble</p><p>They lay his spear upon the plan</p><p></p><p>On a sea of diamonds lies a ship of glass</p><p>Through the mist the torches pass</p><p></p><p>Their banners fly in splendour</p><p>The ghosts of night decended</p><p>With grace their souls surrender</p><p>The seal must be defended</p><p></p><p>Still the dragons reign supreme</p><p>Breathing fire till we scream</p><p>They leave us nothing but our dreams</p><p></p><p>No shield can save us</p><p>It's gonna take a miracle</p><p>We're searching for a miracle</p><p>It's gonna take a miracle</p><p>We're searching for a miracle</p><p></p><p>Stand clear, there's storm above</p><p>And there is something left to fear</p><p>All speed, before the blade is drawn</p><p>And there is blood upon the seed</p><p></p><p>Let no one yield we're on the field</p><p>Where deeds eclipse the sun</p><p>Where the brave are told on a thread of gold</p><p>The tapestry is spun</p><p>As they speak of dreams their amour gleams</p><p>There's calm before the storm</p><p>But all can see their destiny</p><p>The bishop takes the pawn</p><p></p><p>In the sky the arrows fly</p><p>Each one to it's mark</p><p>Defend the true lead us through</p><p>This voyage in the dark</p><p>Make us strong you know right from wrong</p><p>Teach us what it's worth</p><p>Cos every heart that aches is what it takes</p><p>To save our mother earth</p><p></p><p>Lay your life upon the line</p><p>It's death for glory every time</p><p>You give up yours and I'll keep mine</p><p></p><p>No shield can save us</p><p>It's gonna take a miracle</p><p>We're searching for a miracle</p><p>It's gonna take a miracle</p><p>We're searching for a miracle</p><p></p><p>So here we stand between the gates</p><p>Upon the dawn the eagle waits</p><p>His tallons shine like
