REFORM, REVOLT words by BRIAN
we live in a country thats governed by greed, and the people've been suppressed long noone'll stand up and lead, we need a change we need it now before it's too late, wheres the democracy in this aristocratic state
REFORM REFORM REFORM OR WE REVOLT
200 years of freedom or 200 years of lies, we need the truth that lies buried inside, this is the land of the green and the home of the slave, we need a change in the system we need it today
REPUBLICANS DEMOCRATS YOU THIEVING ARISTOCRATS
TIME FOR CHANGE words by BRIAN
im so sick of the state of the times, immorality has run amok, everything seems to have run aground, and we feel as though were stuck, who wants to make a change, who wants to make things right, who wants to take a stand, and who wants to fight, REVOLUTION REVOLUTION, REVOLUTION, everyone thinks that they are blind, because they cannot cope, with the fact that they've got nothing, to give them any hope, we got the answer in our hearts, to help the blind to see, we've got the power within ourselves, the power to set them free, REVOLUTION REVOLUTION ITS TIME FOR CHANGE, REVOLUTION AND THERES NOTHING GONNA STAND IN OUR WAY

SACRED GROUND words by BRIAN
waiting in the shadowsfor the night to fall your eyes pierce the darkness as silently you call i feel the fear and it overwhelms me tearing me apart inside leaving me with no refuge and no place left to hide YOU TREAD ON SACRED GROUND the air is numb with silence the silence cold with fear nervousness surrounds me unable to shed a single tear i feel the walls closing in around slowly suffocating me and now through blinding pain paralyzed i cannot break free words recited softly meant never to be heard thoughts that still consume me dead emotions stirred the images are haunting i cannot bear to view through clouded eyes i remember THREE CANDLES STILL BURNING THOUGH I STRUGGLE I AM NOT ALONE
