My Mirage In my mind I see a mirage on the wall, But unfortunately it's not there at all. So I guess I'll draw my mirage on the wall, Then it can be here to see and enjoyed by all. My mirage, I'll be drawing you soon. Then all of the beautiful people that come to our home, They'll be seeing you too. My mirage, I'll be drawing you soon, My mirage, I'll be seeing you soon. In my mind I see a mirage on the wall, But unfortunately it's not there at all. So I guess I'll draw my mirage on the wall, Then it can be here to see and enjoyed by all.

Termination Fly blue sky, voices keep calling, bidding me welcome. Why maiden land, luring me closer, forbiden land. And as I'm Standing closer, those natives step beyond. Release the mortal patterns, my mind I post beyond. Spinning in circles, Miracles happen, As lower life life shows me in to my doom, spirit will striken, the end will come soon. This is termination, the outcome of your life.

In The Time of Our Lives Listen to the clock beat as it ticks out time away, And listen to the birds' laughter as they live for today, And listen to the heart beat as it beats our lives away. These are the things that we hear in our world, and these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives, in the time of our lives. And to us they are real, And for us they're ideal. How you doing people that passed on yesterday? Did you meet with justice on your judgement day? These are the things that we hear in our world, and these are the things that we hear in the time of our lives, in the time of our lives. And to us they are real, And for us they're ideal. Yes, to us, without a doubt they're real. without a doubt they're real. without a doubt they're real!

Soul Experience Be yourself and live a little, don't bother painting your face; Tomorrow it may rain and colors run, better it quench the flowers thirst. Don't be afraid to live a little, don't be afraid of the people that belittle our love, oh our love. Open up your thoughts and listen to others, your fellow man may surprise you; He offers a unique item, Soul experience, help yourselves to each other. Don't be afraid to live a little, don't be afraid of the people that belittle our love, oh our love. Just be yourself. Just be yourself. Oh our love, oh our love.

Real Fright Real fright's the story of a maddening darkness, It leaves your hands and your face real tight, Your mind starts to wander while your body starts shaking, Your mouth feels dry as your bones start aching. You want to know the pattern thas has gripped your life, Your heart starts pounding while you're breathing real fright, A face chalk white that starts the sight, Ears hear the sounds of real fright.

Words lost in the past of memories that will never last. My mind wanders the crowds in a search, In the search of the one that I feel is my life, It the crowds. For me this is the end. For me this is the end. For me this is the end. For me this is the end. For me this is the end. For me this is the end. For me this is the end.

Yes, I think I came across something, and I think she might be my love. Oh, ---- oh, ---- oh, ---- yes, it must be love. I've found out its worth, It must be love, 'cause nothing on earth could be so fine; I'm making you mine. I think I might have found something, and I think she might be my love.

Belda-Beast Size is decreasing under transparent purple skies; The life you've chased seen thru my eyes was distorted, filled with lies. Your hopes are bouncing in front of your eyes As you jump to catch them floating so high, Bye, bye, A top comes a-spinning into your life and you've reached a height Threatening destruction in a way that we know too well sitting on the limb of love with my friends Sitting here all alone. Life without malice can you call this bluff And say without knowing it's hard enough, Bye, bye, A top comes a-spinning into your life and you've reached a height Life without malice can you call this bluff And say without knowing it's hard enough, Bye, bye, Bye, bye.
