The Wheelers - All the World is a Stage 03:19
lyrics
You say you’ve seen it all Your eyes’ve absorbed too much You’re haunted by the images The images from your past You say you know it all You know the final outcome You have been here before It’s all the same as it was last time All the people you know All the faces you saw Want to make you believe You’re part of one big show You’ve been on autopilot Stuck in the role you’ve been forced to play It’s time to dig deeper And find yourself under the disguise you wear All the tears and the scars All the fear in the eyes Covered with fake smiles And a make-up made of lies All the world is a stage We play when we face the lights Waiting for the applause As the curtain falls All the world is a stage But sleeping alone in the night You dream of a different place Where you don’t have to hide your face Where you can be real Where you can be yourself Without fear You can be real You can be yourself Do not fear

The Wheelers - All that Money Can Buy 02:54
lyrics
Look here, this is what you need Watch this, don’t think just believe It’s all yours for the taking Listen to what I have to say Open your eyes, close your brain Take it all, just reach out your hand A thousand voices screaming in your ear They make it hard your own thoughts to hear All of a sudden realize All of these wonders of life Can be yours, just pay the price A thousand pictures flashing before your eyes Offering you all that money can buy A thousand thoughts are stirring in your mind All that really matters is hidden from the eye
3.
The Wheelers - Without or Within 02:38
lyrics
You’re trying to make me believe what you say But we both know it’s far from the facts You say to change things would be child’s play But you have tried it so many times with no avail One day after another passing time goes by Things are getting loose and out of your hand Losing your grip on the world around As your master pulls the strings above your head Infecting your spirit within Rejecting, repressing the will to begin Resisting You have tried anything and everything Now it’s time for you to finally start living Stop giving away all that you’ve got Without or within The truth you hate Even though it could set you free Resist your oppressor And you will see it flee
4.
The Wheelers - Falling on Deaf Ears 02:27
lyrics
You have the right to remain silent Be assured, they want you so Make no mistake They will use against you whatever you say Yet the truth cannot be silenced It will find its way to the surface The truth cannot be stopped The truth cannot be silenced Even if it is mostly falling Falling on deaf ears Some will absorb its seed And let it grow The truth cannot be stopped They can lock you up Yet it will find its way It will find its way out

The Exit Wound - Back from the Dead 04:16
lyrics
Striving to catch my breath And not to lose my head At the point of dying of thirst While the water is around my neck Lost my foothold in the deep With no mercy from beneath Lost my voice crying for help Waiting for the saving hand When the waves are closing Above my head You’re the one who brings me Back from the dead Enemies on every side Who hate me without reason They want me to give back What’s never been taken The mockers sing about me I’m the song of the drunkards I’ve become an alien I’m a stranger to my brothers Cains of this day Seeking my life Hating the cause That drives me inside Cains of this day Seeking my life Hating the cause That drives me inside A flame inside consumes me A flame inside A flame inside consumes me A flame inside When the waves are closing Above my head You’re the one who brings me Back from the dead When wolves and vultures are Circling around me You come near and Make them flee When the waves are closing Above my head You’re the one who brings me Back from the dead

The Exit Wound - Idle Minds 04:42
lyrics
So-called revelation Spreading disinformation Is it because of ignorance Or by intention All ears – want to hear more Eager to digest more Idle minds A thankful crowd They are ready to buy Any garbage they happen to come by Idle minds A thankful crowd They will thank you even For letting them down Proven wrong Once again Your words did Not pass the Test of time However You’re trying Time after Time again Brains paralyzed By the fear of letting go Of the safety Of blissful ignorance All ears – want to hear more They keep coming back for more Sedate Manipulate Lead astray Hypnotize Paralyze Blinded eyes Simplify Glorify Terrify Idle minds A thankful crowd They are ready to buy Any garbage they happen to come by Idle minds A thankful crowd They will thank you even For letting them die

The Exit Wound - Drowning in the Drought 04:54
lyrics
Looking around this desert is all I see The land is dying, drowning in the drought There are still signs of the life That used to rule the land Fading like memories of times I never wanted to end I am waiting for the storm The clash of titanic clouds The lightning to strike And open up the floodgate There are still signs of the life That used to rule the land Fading like memories of times I never wanted to end I am waiting for the storm The clash of titanic clouds The lightning to strike And open up the floodgate

The Exit Wound - Alternate Reality 04:36
lyrics
I see them arrive They are never alone They are feeling safe Only in the flock Feeling lost And insecure Backing down When confronted alone All the confidence Has vanished Falling down From the high horse Do you dare to look into my eyes After all you’ve said and done Don’t you turn your head away Don’t just turn and walk away No matter where you go Or how fast you run They won’t leave you when you close your eyes The images will stay Their eyes can see Even things that were never there Alternate reality Occupying the mind Only thinking of extremes Black and white Lacking discretion Can’t tell wrong from right Breeding gossips Betraying love and trust The bonds of friendship Not safe any more Rest assured They’ll get their reward Marked and blamed by The conscience of their own Do you dare to look into my eyes After all you’ve said and done Don’t you turn your head away Don’t just turn and walk away

Parched Throat - The Test of Time 03:13
lyrics
You always strive to get What your eyes covet No matter the price No sleep until you’re satisfied You work so hard Like a slave in ancient times And that’s exactly what you are A slave of your own desires What do you have That can’t be taken from you What do you have That will stand the test of time You steal and lie and cheat To see your wealth increased Still you lie down in vain Sleep is always far away The thief may come to steal To rob you in the night Your life it may end just tonight The reaper will accept no bribe What do you have That can’t be taken from you What do you have That will stand the test of time
10.
Parched Throat - Endless Struggle 03:35
lyrics
Endless struggle for your life Only the strong will survive A never ending fight with yourself inside You cannot escape now You’re part of it now But don’t let it take you down This game is hard to win And once you’re in you’re in But your fate is yours to decide Will you rise, will you fall? Will you win or lose it all? Will you make it in the end? Or will you fail to stand? Constant pressure on your mind Thoughts and feelings collide Forced to choose between left and right Will you stay, will you go? Will you press on for your goal? Are you hot, are you cold? Or are you just lukewarm? Will you hear and will you see? Will you lift your voice and speak? Or pretend to be deaf and blind Shutting your mouth? Will you hear and will you see? Will you lift your voice and speak? Or pretend to be deaf and blind Shutting your mouth? Will you stay, will you go? Will you press on for your goal? Are you hot, are you cold? Or are you just lukewarm? Will you dare to face the fear? Or will you turn your back and flee? Will you dare to stay around? Or will you back down? Will you rise, will you fall? Will you win or lose it all? Will you make it in the end? Or will you fail to stand?

Parched Throat - Face the Winds 02:44
lyrics
Pulling up the anchor We’re shipping out to open sea Leaving the safe haven To face adventures ahead Looking out to see Where the wind is blowing from Leaving the past behind To find prosperous lands Depart from what we knew as home To explore new grounds ahead Let’s get out on the sea Get ready to start the journey Don’t wait for our ship to come back We will be gone for long When the storms arouse We lose dead weight and face the winds Face the winds

Parched Throat - Escape 03:01
lyrics
Escape here There is a way out Overcome the fear That tries to hold you down Fear is a murderer Suffocating you Fear is a liar Misdirecting you When the walls are closing in on you Find an exit No matter where you look So many problems you can see Let us be a part Of the solution instead I believe In second chances But don’t take Don’t ever take them for granted Fear is a murderer Suffocating you Fear is a liar Misdirecting you When the rain keeps falling on you Find the entry
