01. Edge Of the In-Between
Dave Meros (music) John Boegehold (lyrics)
See the girls at the gate they’re gathering
For a chance in the big machine
While the lens of the camera’s focusing
At the edge of the in-between
Some will get to where they’re going
Find a place they’ve always been
Never understand the mystery
Turn around and start again
See the soldiers they march imagining
All the enemies unseen
Like a storm in the sky they’re threatening
At the edge of the in-between
Some will get to where they’re going
Find a place they’ve always been
Never understand the mystery
Turn around and start again
Walked the faithful down by the waterside
Watched the last tide ebb as the rivers dried
Hope was all they had
Home was all they knew
Strength to see them through
Withered fast the fields still the people stayed
Waited for a sign as they marked the days
Hope was all they had
Home was all they knew
Strength to see them through
Strength to see them through
Then came the master of the mountains
With a wave of his hand
Rain split the sky and filled the fountains
Water flowed through the land
He brought the people to their knees
In the house of heaven’s door
They knew a miracle they’d seen
And so they believed
He brought the people to their knees
In the house of heaven’s door
They knew a miracle they’d seen...

02. The Emperor's Clothes
Alan Morse (music & lyrics) Neal Morse (music) Larry Kutcher (music)
Well I'm the man with the scam
And though I've never sewn a stitch
I've stumbled onto something
Guaranteed to make me rich
All I gotta do is fool one Imperial Nitwit
You'll never not see clothes
Like you won't see those
Every inch of stitchin’ missin’
From your hat to your hose
And if one of those hose
Happens to have a hole in it
It's not as if anybody's
Gonna notice when it's
The Emperor's Clothes
Are fine
You'll never see nothing finer
Nothin' like those
So right
That you'll never see the like, the like
Well I just got into town
I took a quick look around
I heard you needed a suit
Opportunity found
‘Cos I’m the man that you need
I'm gonna make you some tweeds
I’m gonna make ‘em so they’re
Magical, beautiful, that’s irrefutable now
Well only Philistines
Could look upon these things
From the Teddy Bear pajamas
To the nipple rings
And not agree with me
This is a suit like no other
They're gonna gape and gawk
They're gonna stammer & stare
'Cos the fabric's so fine
It's like it's not even there
You're gonna give ‘em a thrill
They're never gonna get over
If I make it through this
I’m gonna be in clover
The Emperor's Clothes
Are right!
You'll never see nothing righter
So overexposed
So bright
That you'll never see the light, the light
Well, today's the day
I'm gonna make my play
I'm a takin’ my creation onto center stage
And I might lose a little
But I just might win big
You got the heads of the SLA, the NRA
The Sendero Luminosa and the CIA
At least one of every other kind of
Hot shot and bigwig
They're all comin’ down
They're gonna meet at the shindig
In The Emperor's Clothes
All right!
You'll never see nothing finer
Nothin’ like those
So fine
You'll never see the like
Of The Emperor's Clothes
All right!
You'll never see the like, the like

04. From The Darkness
Nick D'Virgilio (music & lyrics) Alan Morse (add'itional lyrics pt. 2)
Part 1: THE DARKNESS
It’s everywhere that I go
It’s everything that I see
And I don’t know how to fight it
What was down is now up
And what was up has gone down
This scene has lost all its spirit
If you’re not going
Every minute of every day
You’ll end up somewhere behind it
Back in the day things were hard
But so much simpler in ways
You didn’t know when to quit
Outshined by everyone around
Feeling lost and never found
Trying hard to fight the good fight
Out of the darkness and into the light
Strange things always come
When your mind is not clear
And there’s no understanding
Thrown right under the bus
Throwing up all your guts
To get back to beginnings
Habits carved into stone
That you do all alone
When nobody is watching
Trying not to get caught
Fear is what you have sought
And it’s much too demanding
Part 2: CHANCE MEETING
I saw you sitting with your friends that day
I tried to keep myself from staring
I found the courage but I had nothing to say
My tongue was tied and I was daring
How lucky the sun came shining
You told me I was out of my mind
I said you were crazy
But it was me who was crazy
Drunk on the wine in your eyes
Our story is written across the sky
Words to last forever
And the meaning just gets clearer every day
I hope you know we share one soul
Never let go
Part 3: ON MY OWN
Can you tell me?
Can you help me?
I am feeling down
Situation overload
Our ship has run aground
Waiting for the lightning strike
To come and bring me down
I talk but you don’t hear a sound
It’s got me so frustrated
The words have been debated
Can you give me any reason at all?
I want to know
I gotta know
I’m on my own
Part 4: START OVER AGAIN
How you doin’ my man?
You got anything to say?
Tell us everything
Everything you learned along the way
The crowd they love you today
Tell us everything
How you did it
How you made your way
Start over again
Feel alive come on and take it
Start over again
Feel alive come on and make it
Start over again
Come and take it
Start over again
Come on let’s make it
Yeah!
