Softsword - King John and the Magna Charter...

POWRÓT

MAGNA CHARTER

Write the rules for the games we play
Carved in stone for a future time
Broken pieces thrown away
Broken pieces that are mine

Hope in words so nearly true
Peaceful times are long unseen
Promises I give to you
Only I know what they mean

Charter for a freedom lost
Made by man who knows not why
Leaving youth to count the cost
They only suffer times gone by

It would never be the same
If ruler lived beyond his past
He would have to live his game
And speed of truth is never fast

Should there ever be a charter
With words to change the course of man
To give us peace and hope and understanding
And take us back to where it all began

The sword is still the only answer
The loudest sound that can be heard
The scream of silence as the fear grows stronger
Hear the people
Cry to no-one
No-one hears their words

And so
Time moves on
A war
Waged in words
With Kings and Church and common man
But no winner
Or beginner
Can understand the battle plan

But the battle never lasts long
Even though it is an old song
And the singer never sings the same old verse
Turn the melody to war chant
Change the flowers into warplants
Kill them all
Just to swell the purse

Pray to the Father
Peace ever after
Only love
Up above
Glory to the war

So for peace we wage a war
As in war we fight for peace
Death to all, be rich or poor
Comes in such a bloody feast

Will they meet in a future time?
Will it happen yet again?
Only God knows the truth they say
Only He is ahead of our time

Where is the charter made for love?
Where is the charter for killing war?
Sadly hidden in the warrior's glove
Making light for ever more

Magna Charter shows a path
Over which no truth can stray
Floating as a neutral craft along its way

Should there ever be a charter
With words to change the course of man
To give us peace and hope and understanding
And take us back to where it all began

The sword is still the only answer
The loudest sound that can be heard
The screams of silence as the fear grows stronger
Hear the people
Cry to no-one
No-one hears their words

AFTER PRAYERS

Hold me
In the morning
While the stillness is there
Whisper
Gentle lover
Whisper to me you still care

Touch me
Touch me gently
I need you
I need you there
So hold me
Every morning
With just love in the air

Never want to lose you again
Never handle the pain
Of anybody else
In your life
Again but me

Never want to cry anymore
Never weep as my tears
Run deep in rivers of regret
Through my life
Looking for you

Call me
Call me in the morning
I need you
I need you to set me free
Help me
Help to save me
Throw the lifelines of love to me

Come to me and hold me
Remember what you told me
Only you can open me

Dreaming is for sleeping
Loving is for keeping on
Never try to fight love
Love

Call me
In the morning
Don't try to fight me
Please don't try

I only want to hold you
Hold you closely
Then I want to love you
Until I die

I pray
You know I pray a lot
To give you everything, everything I've got
Then I have to stop
And wait, wait for you to answer

Listen, listen to me
Listen once for me
Whisper
Or call me
Or shout to me
Or shout love

Take me in the morning
The loving stillness
Everywhere

I want you
I want to hold you
Hold you every morning
A love to share

So just call me
Call me in the morning
My answer
After prayers

Call me
In the morning
Call me
After prayers

Oh love
Love you in the morning
After prayers

THE SIEGE

Run, run looking for a place
Looking for a place to hide your face
Feelings all hidden inside your heart

With a well tuned love receiver
It's not easy to deceive her
Under siege the timer's set to start

Slow fuse moving
Let the passion burn
Don't let the flame go out
It won't relight

Here we go
Sound battle stations
Line up soldiers, fight for love

Sound the trumpet
Victory in sight

Under siege with arrows
Firing love all over the fortresses defending divine right
To fight for love
And love

Love under fire
All hope eternal wounded
But my pain is not forever
Forever more
Now my love

Under siege retreating
Keep the love heart beating
Its drum defying all that you hate

Shout out for a real love
Find a place for real love
A place that never ever wants for fear to conquer

Morning glory
Taste the fruits of victory
Life has won the war of love

Battle over
No more time for hatred
Just goodness coming from above

The fuse expiring
Leaving love fires burning
And heating all the passion inside with love
With love

THE STORY OF LOVE (KING JOHN)

The warmth of your love
Can burn a way into a lost,
Icy cold heart
Change at will
And melt man into man
And turn his head slowly to love
Slowly to love

A Queen for a King
To give the touch of a young
Young woman to sing
Love to the people
But when she's not there
How soon the heart hardens to stone

But what of the man engulfed in love?
But for just brief moments in time
Lost in space with eyes everywhere
My friends
That is the story of love

And if you want to
I can tell you of the pain to follow
And of the innocent
And not the guilty who will suffer
But you won't listen
As the person we are talking to is you

Hey, calm down, main man
No longer are you in control
Bow down to the power of love
A never ending starring role

Queen of hearts
The heart is king
No-one wants to be the clown
A deep breath for the power of love
As the walls come tumbling down

But the man still fights
For the right to be King of England
To lord over all
With a rod of iron and steel
But caught in the trap of love by chance
Nobody gives him a second glance
Not a nice way to get caught
Within the turning wheel
Hear love squeal

Fire coming out
With every single word that's said
With the force of the source that's working
In the secret passage of your head
So sail away
Golden day
So that love can paint the hate clouds red

There's a main frame above
That's the mainstay of our love
(If you ever want to go and find it)
Our love is the right term
For looking for a right turn towards love
(If you ever need to find it)

The man with the arrows is firing at you and me
No good diving
He can fire at land or sea
Attack
Launch
Fire
Fire
Fire your love
Fire your love at the plan
Turn him out
Burn him out
To the passion of a molten fire
Hold on
Release now
I said now, now, now, now, now!

A King for a Queen
A Queen for a King
A song built of love
A love meant to sing

A heart now sold
A heart now won
A heart on fire
A love as one

And if you want to
I can tell you of the pain to follow
And of the innocent
And not the guilty who will suffer
But you won't listen
As the person we are talking to is
The person living inside you

DON'T FLY AWAY

After all is said and done
Well, I have lost you
And you have won

It's all over and that's for sure
Now you are rich
And I am poor

Crying
It's no good crying
You'd feel the same way
If you were me

Trying
I'm really trying
But there's no hope
No hope for me

Don't fly away
Even though you won't stay

Lonely
So lonely
Imprisoned, but free

Don't fly away
Even though you won't stay

One day you'll come home
Lost without her
All alone

And I'll be waiting right here for you
Ever faithful
Ever true

I should be crying
It's no good crying
You'd feel the same way
If you were me

Trying
I'm really trying
But there's no real hope
No hope for me

I feel love
In the air
It's all around me
Everywhere

And our love song is there to sing
Sing the game
The game to win

Game of love
Game of love
Fly away the game of love
Fly away my love
Fly away
Fly away
Game to win
Fly away
Game of love
Game of love
Game of love
Game of love

HYMN OF HOPE

Saviour
Save me
My soul needs love

But you can see of the need in me
A flame of your desiring

Help me reach for the path of peace
And hide my tears whilst crying Lord
