duel with the devil

• transatlantic adlı progressive rock grubunun bridge across forever albümündeki 26 dakikalık birinci şarkısı.
• kanımca transatlantic grubunun en güzel parçasıdır.. sözlerini de yazayım tam olsun
  [i: motherless children]
  
  have you woke up screaming in the silence of the night?
  you wish you could start dreaming in clouds of white
  but everything could change tonight
  when you duel with the devil living in your mind
  
  time reveals nothing - it's a suicide love affair
  whispers in the darkness and revolution in the air
  will you see or look behind
  when you duel with the devil living in your mind
  
  motherless children
  wandering nowhere
  feels like there's miles to go
  reaching for water
  longing to go there
  flooding into your soul
  into your soul
  
  do you know the difference between who and what you are
  will you ride off in the distance like some highway star
  will you try until you make it good
  or will you sell your body down in hollywood
  
  motherless children
  wandering nowhere
  feels like there's miles to go
  reaching for water
  longing to go there
  flooding into your soul
  into your soul...
  
  [ii: walk away]
  
  there's a time to understand
  there's a time to see the sun
  there's a time for makin up
  there's a time to come together
  
  fall into the learning curve
  feeding on experience
  never turn your back on me
  never paint it black by numbers
  
  it's so easy to waste away
  it's a simple operation
  far too many givin' in
  fall into dark temptations
  
  everybody needs a king
  everybody needs a captain
  when you hear the fallen angels sing
  in your private armaggedon
  
  and you walk away
  (with nowhere to go)
  for another day
  (turn the lights down low)
  but you'll never know
  (while you walk away)
  when you walk away with nowhere to go
  
  everybody had their doubts
  so they tried to pull me under
  everytime i felt the strain
  someone sent a sense of wonder
  
  everybody walked the hard road
  in the dark they felt the grind
  everybody heard the thunder
  no one ever read the signs
  
  and you walk away
  (with nowhere to go)
  for another day
  (turn the lights down low)
  but you'll never know
  (while you walk away)
  when you walk away with nowhere to go
  
  [iii: silence of the night]
  
  have you woke up screaming in the silence of the night?
  you wish you could start dreaming but it's always black and white
  looking for that big sky that'll finally make it right
  well everything could change tonight
  
  [iv: you're not alone]
  
  nighttime falls it came too fast
  down the halls tiptoeing past
  out come the shadows of life itself
  to clap along and wish you well
  
  motherless children
  wandering nowhere
  look up you're almost home
  reaching for water
  longing to know you're not alone
  
  [v: almost home]
  
  have you woke up screaming in the silence of the night?
  you wish you could start dreaming in black and white
  well everything could change tonight
  when you duel with the devil living in your mind
  
  motherless children
  wandering nowhere
  look up you're almost home
  reaching for water
  longing to go there
  flooding into your soul
  into your soul...
