(Repeat Chorus) Ad-Libs Come, I can help you! (Solo - Repeat Chorus) 7.STATE OF MIND Verse When I look at myself frustration I try to hide when it cries cries out in vain then I can't resist or hide Chorus My state of mind state of mind Verse Now the feelings from within tell the tale a life of sin an' a cold journey through time I don't recall memories hard to focus hard to please am I losing my mind Bridge A psychological impulse twisting around inside Chorus My state of mind an out of body experience my state of mind a separation between the soul and mind to be as one with each other a state of mind in control of my helpless Middle - 8 The weirdest things always happen could it be my penance a mnemonic phase that I resist (Spoken Part) Now the feelings dark within me my sins will never ever be free (Repeat Chorus) Ad-Libs On and on and on we go we live our lives but never show the knowledge guilt we all possess the strength of mind to now confess 8.DESTINY CALLING Verse My memories clear as ever of a little boy I can see myself so full of wander a child so full of joy In a field oh way up yonder not so far from home lived a sweet old man called Mr.Wonder because of dreams he told Bridge He once so philosophically explained there's a reason we're brought into this world I wish he was with us today pray hear me say I understand now Chorus No matter how how hard we try we never listen when destiny's calling we still keep changing our lives stop, look and listen it's destiny calling you (when destiny's calling you) Verse Looking back remissing changes long gone by opportunities I keep on missing I've stared 'em in the eye The gravity of all my actions I try hard to disguise it became crystal clear we change the future affecting all our lives Bridge An old man philosophically explained there's a reason we're brought into this world Funny those words that he said will always be true forever and ever (Repeat Chorus) Middle - 8 (Backing vocals) Each promise we break the choice is yours and mine each wrong move that we make we're missing chances each step with each day will get harder, harder if we go our own way 9.RESURRECTION 10.LOSERS GAME Verse Influental called themselves friends gifts they gave some kind of trend a small town girl who never asked why easy access cum' don't be shy Bridge For no apparent reason when the stakes were so high she started to play the losers game Verse Common sense had... no place in their lives we're not so bad is it a crime cheap solution for the rich to get high no restitution livin' a lie Bridge They should have known better not to turn a blind eye instead they just left her to die Chorus Fly, children in the sky no escape unless you're willing to die a price you'll pay, no other way so why do ya wanna play it's losers game Ad-Libs The dealer always wins Verse Such potential could have gone far her real firends cried don't know who you are they never got through to save her in time what else could they do once she lost her mind (Repeat 2nd Bridge & Chorus) 11.SUPPRESSION Intro Take a good look around tell us a truth now what are they saying they're out of all sight and sound while the hatred is growing the guilty are praying Though innocent eyes don't lie it's hopeless subscribing retaliation enemies all must die is this the road to hell and damnation Verse Won't somebody help them anymore like a rock to the ground they keep falling just when they found a real sense of Direction We determine our own lives with the power the strength to change them but when manipulation plays a big part then our future is gone Chorus Suppression won't we bother suppression won't we show a little concern repression won't we help each other only if we can find the time my dear Verse So what lessons if any can be learnt to help your sister to help your brother or do we turn a blind eye cos no one we know ever gets hurt (Repeat Chorus) Ian Parry, vocals, keyboards (4,6,8,10) Henk Van De Laars, guitars, keyboards (1-3,5,7,9) Martin Helmantel, bass Dirk Bruinenberg, drums Guest musicians on Destiny's calling: Piano - Bart Brower Violin - Melly Oudejans Produced by Elegy.
