Heard about the Second Coming
Read about the rise and fall
The final days are surely here among us
The final days have come for Babylon
Look around the old world's crumbling
Just the way the Prophets told
With every nation facing Armegeddon
Every soul against the wall
All and all
(Chorus) :In a Brand New World
In a brand new key
With hope and room there
For you and me
In a Brand New World
Safe and free
Look out beyond the horizon
It's a Brand New World
The Lord of Lords, the King of Kings is coming
But not before the beast is through
Batten down the hatches for a long one
And pray that you're among the chosen few
Behold the Pale Horse and its rider
That's when all the change will come
Until that day just let your love grow brighter
Until that day after the fall
(Chorus: Repeat)
We hold this gift so fragile in human hands
One little slip and this creation will fall
All and all
Into a Brand New World (Chorus: Repeat)

Just when it all seems hopeless
And nothing's makin' sense
The door's wide open
You just don't see it yet
Open wide for you
There's a brighter place
Just beyond your view
All the shadows will erase
When you take that step of faith
Walk Into the Light
Yeah, It all gets tricky the closer that you get
Your mind gets sticky and your ways tend to set
Everywhere you turn people make you doubt
But the wise ones learn
The real world's inside of you
Calling out and guiding you
Walk Into the Light
Walk Into the Light it's right in front of you
Walk Into the Light the love is waiting there
Walk Into the Light it's flooding into you
Walk Into the Light the love was always there
With your heart wide open
You've been working with the fire
Pure emotion flaming with desire
All your insides know there's no turning back
Every sign says go
Suddenly it's crystal clear why the road has led you here
Walk Into the Light, Walk Into the Light, Walk Into the Light...

ROAD KILL

Too far down this dead end road
I'm a lost and lonely child
Got skid marks on my eyelids
And fractures deep and wild
I tried to play by the so-called rules
I tried to court my friends
But the more I tried to play it straight
The more my mind got bent
(Chorus)
I feel like Road Kill, Road Kill
Slaughtered in cold, cold blood
I feel like Road Kill
Face down in the mud
I used to think I knew my way
But I don't know where I'm goin'
I feel like Road Kill
With all my insides showin'
(verse 2)
Got the buzzards circlin' over me
They can smell the walkin' dead
They can't wait to land on me
As the life-force leaves my head
But I ain't checkin' out just yet
I still got room to fight
I'll lick my wounds and resurrect
Like Lazarus tonight
(Repeat Chorus) I feel like Road Kill....etc....
I dream of sweet transcendence, from this barren, bitter town
This home of raw ambition has finally brought me down
I should have seen it comin', but my eyes were dim and numb
I guess I'm finally wakin' up to this mess I'm runnin' from
(Repeat Chorus): I feel like Road Kill....etc...
I used to think I knew my way but I don't know where I'm goin..

(New Sky Records/Track #7)
Look at the grown-ups, they're just like children
Some learn to give and get along
Others are fighters, bullies and liars
Thinking they're right, but doing wrong
Look in the mirror, you'll see it clearer
The selfish little game that you play
No one can ever get near you
With that selfish pride in the way, oh
(Chorus)
Why must you be the number 1, Little Napoleon
So much to share beneath the sun
Little Napoleon
(verse2)
Look at the world, it's like a playground
Takes just a few to spoil the fun
Runaway leaders, royal deceivers
Taking their power from everyone
We've got to show them, we'll overthrow them
If they can't settle down and behave
We've got to do this together, so all the people can play
(Chorus: repeat)
When your day is over, what will you have left?
The same old sad reminder of the way you served yourself
