[Verse 1] In the light before the dawn Shadows shake in my peripheral Mesmerise me, bring it on Heart beats with fear here in the theatre of my soul
You see, I hope it will go on an on And when the curtain call is done Morning always comes
[Verse 2] It was a fine time to be born De-mob happy street and free milk for us all It was the right place to be sure Those dreaming spires and, yeah, oh so pastoral
[Chorus] But let's hope it s not just luck and strange A one-off peaceful golden age That's a dark thought in the dark
[Bridge] Seek what you won't find, that is a wasted life Or so the Ancients dropped by to tell me They drank me dry but my oh my so far Ah-ha
[Verse 3] Quite the time to be a boy Six-string masters of an expanding universe It was a high time to be sure Soaring and free from the bounds of the Earth
[Chorus] But let s hope it's not just luck and strange A one-off peaceful golden age That's a dark thought in the dark
[Outro] Time for this mortal man to love the child that holds my hand And the woman who smiles when I embrace her These eyes stay dry but my oh my guitar

The Piper’s Call
[Verse 1] Take these binds everlasting Can't undo the voodoo that you do And the knots that we fasten Will not work themselves loose
[Chorus] Whatever it takes Steer clear of the snakes The road to hell is paved with gold, they'll tell you All the things that you don't need, they'll sell you
[Verse 2] Your conscience uncontrolled And beauty to behold The promise of eternal youth The spoils of fame, a carpe diem attitude
[Verse 3] The flames are high, the piper's call, contagious A fixer who will numb your pain, and strangeness The wheels are hot, the hangover outrageous This dealer, he will trade your soul for favours
[Chorus] But you'll reap what you sow As I found long ago The promise of eternal youth The spoils of fame, a carpe diem attitude
