Freedom

Need I be shaking,
The air is a-breaking,
Love is a-quaking,
Yet legs are strangely numb,

Going up north,
Or heading down south,
It's all the same breeze,,
For it is blown, by the same mouth,

And you can see it in the pastures,
You can feel it in the fields,
You can taste it in a maiden's rose,
You can hear it in the lovers sigh,
You can touch it all around,

The ancient word the world has spoken,
Since made, it was,
Freedom, freedom.

So gather round all ye rebels and scoundrels,
All ye proud and kind souls,
And heed the words I speak,
None of you will ever outrun death,
It's coming for us all, with light feet
And with righteous will,
So stand up for all the times, both good and bad,
You can stay or tread off the track,
Just shout back,

As you see it in the pastures,

And feel it on the fields,

And taste it in a maiden's rose,

As you hear it in the lovers sigh,

And touch it all around,

Freedom, freedom.

As Shadows Call

I see the dark,
Leaving a mark,
On the face of my heart,
As shadows call,

Come the morrow,
The bittersweet sorrow,
Deep within will follow,
As shadows call,

I feel,
Darkness hooking me real,
Tigh and it reels me in,
I was lost, I was found,
Now I'm lost all over again,
Like ashes scattered to the four winds,

My mind wanders,
Trying to find the answers,
To questions passing by, like drifters,
As shadows call,

I'm in a trance and,
Memories are dancing,
And would've's and should've's a-prancing,
As shadows call,

I feel,

Darkness hooking me real,

Tigh and it reels me in,

I was lost, I was found,

Now I'm lost all over again,

Like ashes scattered to the four winds,

When the night sets on all that was good and bright,
I desperately cling to that faint hope that some shred of light,
Will appear and be my guide through this maze,
And take me far away from this place,

I feel,

Darkness hooking me real,

Tigh and it reels me in,

I was lost, I was found,

Now I'm lost all over again,

Like ashes scattered to the four winds,
As shadows call.

My Prison Cell

I've been up and I've been down,
I've been loved and I've been kicked around,
I've been a saint and I've been a sinner,
I've been a victim and also a criminal,
I've been the darkness and I've been the light,
I was born in the day, so I guess I'll day in the night,

And though I may be a walking contradiction,
I give you truth my friend, not fiction,
I've been all over this world,
Made love to the prettiest girl,
I've seen the heavens and I've been through hell,
All this within the four walls,
Of my prison cell,

I've been a pauper and I've been rich,
I've been to the top of the eiffel tower and at the bottom of a ditch,
I've been the prophet and also the traitor,
I've been the coward and also the saviour,
I've been the diamond and the piece of coal,
I've been bought and I've been sold,

And though I may be a walking contradiction,

I give you truth my friend, not fiction,

I've been all over this world,

Made love to the prettiest girl,

I've seen the heavens and I've been through hell,

All this within the four walls,

Of my prison cell,

I've been a king and a pawn,

I've been the moon and the sun,

I've walked the seven oceans,

And sailed the five continents,

And though I may be a walking contradiction,

I give you truth my friend, not fiction,

I've been all over this world,

Made love to the prettiest girl,

I've seen the heavens and I've been through hell,

All this within the four walls,

Of my prison cell,
