Super Human 02:22
Super Human I closed both my eyes, and turned away from the TV screens, Somebody else will stop the screams. I held onto my head, dropped to my knees, Began to pray. Somebody else will save the day. Super human, you've always been. Super human, inside of me. Super human, we've always been.... Yeah, Super human.

Looking For Life Been so long flying around in space Looking for something new, trying to save the human race All communications died many years ago Now were drifting onwards towards the final show I have a photograph and a letter that you wrote I keep them somewhere safe beside your dying hopes Into the endless night, we make our endless flight Reading the signs. Maybe it'll be alright... Looking for life, we'll find our way Looking for life... Reaching out from another time Loved ones left behind. We're reaching out to another world, our faded flag unfurled, And we're looking for life, we'll find our way, And we're looking for life, losing count of the days. Can we survive, the madness creeps in, Am I alive, or dying within? Looking for life Night time bleeds to daytime, and daytime bleeds to night. I fell upon my sword my friends, the day I took this flight. Into the endless night, we make our endless flight Reading the signs. Maybe it'll be alright... Looking for life, we'll find our way, And we're looking for life, losing count of the days. Can we survive, the madness creeps in, Am I alive, or dying within? Looking for life

Day Number One We spend our lives trying to apologise To change what we have no control of, Every day is laden with regrets of yesterday Tomorrow means we're just a day older Out from the cracks where the light filters down We feel the weight of our shadows... We drink the moments like an out of date wine Never reading whats on the label We break the bread, fall upon the feast But we never recollect the table Learn from mistakes; it’s the time-proven way Into the deep from the shallows Out from the cracks where the light filters down We fear the weight of our shadows... I want to fly back to day number one No-one will break me when I’m free... Your love is testing me in every single way Raking through the walls of emotion You tear the skin, the screaming soul within is silenced By the depths of your ocean Out from the cracks where the light filters down We fear the weight of our shadows... I want to fly back to day number one No-one will break me when I’m free This is my chance to prove who I am Open these doors, let me breathe Let me breathe. Can you hear me? I want to fly back to day number one No-one will break me when I’m free This is my time to tear down the signs Open these doors, let me see I want to fly back, when I’m free It's my time, if this is who I am? Just let me see Hey, out from the cracks, out from the cracks. We feel the weight, we feel the weight, We feel, let me tell you. Out from the cracks where the lights falling down, We fear the weight of our shadows.

Mega City One Under a dying sun, limestone tears run from The concrete walls that encase this monster. A seething city of eight hundred million Lawless creatures - remnants from the war. We made our judges, we made our rules. We re-created a man of justice - gave him reason, Gave him tools. No-more conscience to blur our vision, Extract the crime - a clean incision... Mega city one, where is the law? Mega city one, what are you waiting for? Fifty thousand criminals living inside each city block. One hand reaches for the law-giver as one hand begins to knock... I'll hear your version, I don’t fear vengeance I'll take your statement - prepare for sentence... Mega city one, where is the law? Mega city one, what are you people waiting for? I'm the judge and jury - a killer at your door Mega city one... I decide if you testify, make your choice Tell the truth or die. I'll blow you into a million atoms and forget your name As you drift forever in a nuclear wasteland... Mega city one, where is the law? Mega city one, what are you people waiting for? I'm the judge and jury - a killer at your door Mega city one...

Fly Higher 05:11
Fly Higher There is a place hidden deep in our hearts, Where our futures are born and our dreams burst into life. Free when you're young learning how to spread your wings You can fly to the sun, you can hear angels sing. So fly higher, and break barriers. Pull at your chains if you can't find your keys They'll deny you your rights, they will never set you free Come on, fly higher, break barriers You'll find your way.. Never again, running away from a fight Open your eyes, look to the skies and take flight. You must fly higher, you will break barriers. You must fly higher. Never again, running away from a fight Open your eyes, look to the skies and take flight. You must fly higher, you will break barriers.

Say Something So much waiting, not enough time All you bring me - not enough love. Promises sting bitter heartache Dreams of silence - no more wanting... I walked down that line every single time, And all you give to me is desperate lines of wanting something… Is this living, is this breathing, is this dreaming? Just say something Am I being, am I seeing, am I feeling? Just say something. We are falling through dimensions Never meeting, never ending I walked down that line every single time, And all you give to me is desperate lines of wanting something Give me something stronger to pacify my hunger Keep the wolves at bay until I finally meet my maker. Is this living, is this breathing, is this dreaming? Just say something Am I being, am I seeing, am I feeling? Just say something. Is this living, is this breathing, is this dreaming? Just say something Am I being, am I seeing, am I feeling? Just say something. Something Something Just say something Just say something

Bending light It's been my life long passion Since the day that I was born To make a difference to what is and was before I have no angels wings, I have no super powers I came with no instructions but I'll keep you hooked for hours Trying the impossible, always the same with you Nothing is good enough - you've got me... Bending light, flying upside down Taking out the night, stealing Neptune’s crown It's been my hearts desire to keep you satisfied To stoke your inner fire, to go that extra mile I am no super hero but still you ask of me To burn the morning sky and boil the seven seas I gave you everything but more and more's required I'm not that slave you bought, I'm not that gun you hired Trying the impossible - always the same with you Nothing is good enough, you've got me.. Bending light, flying upside down Taking out the night, stealing Neptune’s crown Rising up to fight things I cannot see Bending light, someone set me free. I am no super hero but still you ask of me To burn the morning sky and boil the seven seas Trying the impossible - always the same with you Nothing is good enough, you've got me... Bending light Bending light Bending light Bending light Hey! Bending light, flying upside down Taking out the night, stealing Neptune’s crown Rising up to fight things I cannot see Bending light, someone set me free

Rising 04:49
Rising We are precious stones in the river Being worn away. The tidal wave of life cuts us like a knife and shapes our future path, On which we must stay. We're rising, we're rising again. We live in a dream state but beneath this toughened skin, Embers burn. We're rising, we're rising again. Face the facts, we've got nothing to lose Walking like the dead while we're dead in our shoes. Given any choice are you ready to choose? You take it lying down or you're blowing a fuse. We are mindless souls driven by hands we cannot see, We're out of control. We're rising, we're rising again. We live in a dream state but beneath this toughened skin, Embers burn. We're rising, we're rising Rising, we're rising.. Again, and again, and again...

Touch The Sky Ectopic beats born through anxiety, My heart skips another beat and I’m far away. Into the blackening blue, I dream I’m flying with you. Higher and higher we climb, I never want, To wake... Day breaks and I rise again. We're all broken bones in the end. Still i believe we can be somewhere we need to be. I don’t understand it, why, when I hold my hands up? I believe that we can touch the sky... One life, don’t waste it. Time washes by, but I know we can make it. One life, it's not for taking. This is our time, don’t go and break it. I don’t understand it, why, when I hold my hands up? I, I believe that we can touch the sky... We can fly. We can touch the sky, we can touch the sky. Yeah, we can touch the sky you and I, We can touch the sky Yeah.

Superpower 04:23
Superpower Sit up, listen, we are both to blame Give up, you lose, my rules, my game Onward we go, fight across the globe The day will come when no-one owns the road I wish I was the superpower, I'd put you in your place You know? It's strange - we're not that different We are the same, but differently driven I'll find you, I'll break you, our offer is the same deal, Don’t save me, come join me, now lets see if you can kneel? I wish I was the superpower, I'd put you in your place... I call across the nation to have my finest hour My chosen occupation to be the superpower So turn the wheel, face the heat, it All comes down to this.. I am free and you will be powerless to me. I wish I was the superpower, I'd put you right back in your place, It's getting closer every hour, I can see the fear on your face... I call across the nation to have my finest hour My chosen occupation to be the superpower I call across the nation to have my finest hour My chosen occupation to be the superpower
