Sarajevo[Music & Words: Jon Oliva, Paul O'Neill]In the town of Sarajevo, there's an old medieval squareThere's a church aside one corner most believe was always thereIt was built a thousand years before any now were bornAnd its glory was its belfry with its stones all gray... and wornNow there's a gargoyle on that belfry and he's been up there for yearsAnd he has watched and he has pondered: "What is laughter, what are tears?"And he's never found his answers as he sees the years go byBut he watches and he wonders with his stone unblinking eyesIT WAS THE YEAR OF NINETEEN-NINETYAND THE BERLIN WALL WAS DOWNAND A THOUSAND YEARS REGRETTEDNOW LAID BURIED IN THE GROUNDAND THE PROPHETS READ THE FUTUREAND THE OMENS ALL SEEMED KINDIN THE CLASSIC WORDS OF DICKENSIT SURELY WAS THE BEST OF TIMES3. This Is The Time (1990)[Music & Words: Jon Oliva, Paul O'Neill]Watching in silence, I hesitate: It was not in the plansAll of our lives we could only wait: It was out of our handsAnd every war where we took the day, it was all in our headsAnd though in the dark we dream at night, they were better unsaid[chorus]But this is the time and this is the placeAnd these are the signs that we must embraceThe moment is now, in all historyThe time has arrived and this is the one place to beYeah, yeahWe placed our years in the hourglass, they were never unearnedAnd we seemed destined to watch them pass - it was never our turn[chorus]But this is the time and this is the placeAnd these are the signs that we must embraceThe moment is now, in all historyThe time has arrived and this is the one place to beYeah, yeah[lead break][solo][chorus]This is the time and this is the placeAnd these are the signs that we must embraceThe moment is now, in all historyThe time has arrived and this is the one place to beYeah, yeah[extro]AND A WIND CAME ACROSS EUROPETHAT WOULD TWIST AND TURN OUR FATEFOR AS WELL AS BRINGING FREEDOMIT HAD LET LOOSE MEN OF HATENOW THESE MEN WERE FEW IN NUMBERAND THE PEOPLE THREW THEM OUTBUT IN THE MIND OF EACH MAN'S NEIGHBORTHEY HAD PLANTED SEEDS OF DOUBT4. I Am[Music & Words: Jon Oliva, Paul O'Neill]I see a little man sitting and he's wonderingIf over his little plot he might be kingAnd he finds his present world a little boringThere's no land that is so small that it cannot divideSo come, I'll draw the line and you just pick your sideIgnoring anyone who gives a warning[chorus]For I am the answer you seek, the dream in your sleepYou never wanted to awakenI have the plan that won't fail, a crime without trailAnd all I really need right now is you![laugh]I see a little man, thinking that he might need moreAnd so his eyes are drifting to the house next doorHe wonders if his neighbors might be leavingSo he makes a little offer that they'll understandThere is no point in letting things get out of handFor no one wants to see their widows grieving[chorus]For I am the answer you seek, the dream in your sleepYou never wanted to awakenI have the plan that won't fail, a crime without trailAnd all I really need is you![laugh][middle 8]I am the word without deeds, the lie that exceedsFor lies are always most impatientI am the guide for the lost, who never counts costAnd all I really need right now is you!All I really need right now is you!All I really need right now is you!All I really need right now is you!I see a little man sitting and he's wonderingAll I really need right now is you!I see a little man sitting and he's wonderingAll I really need right now is you!I see a little man sitting and he's wonderingAll I really need right now is you!I see a little man sitting and he's wonderingAll I really need right now is you!I see a little man sitting and he's wonderingAll I really need right now is you!I see a little man sitting and he's wonderingAll I really need right now is you!You!

Starlight[Music & Words: Jon Oliva, Paul O'Neill]We never fear the night, we bring our own starlightDropped on the world below, wait for the afterglowWe never fear the night, we bring our own starlightDropped on the world below, wait for the afterglowAnd in the dark they wed, we're dancing with the deadAnd if the ground's been stained, colors run in the rain[chorus]Run away, no delay - do we have to show you?Don't expect mercy yet, we don't even know youHear the press, nothing less - saying that we don't careUnderstand it's the land and you'd have to be thereWe never contemplate, we only offer fateAnd in the night they arc, flowering in the darkFilling the sky with red, till all their needs are fedThen like the childhood tear they quickly disappear[chorus]Run away, no delay - do we have to show you?Don't expect mercy yet, we don't even know youHear the press, nothing less - saying that we don't careUnderstand it's the land and you'd have to be there[middle 8][chorus]Run away, no delay - do we have to show you?Don't expect mercy yet, we don't even know youHear the press, nothing less - saying that we don't careUnderstand it's the land and you'd have to be there[coda]IN THE WORLD OF DEATH AND MURDERTHEY'RE THOSE WHO DO THE DEEDBUT WAITING IN THE SHADOWSARE THE MEN WHO SEWED THE SEEDSTHEY MAKE THEIR THIRTY-PIECESSELLING GUNS TO ALL WHO PAYAND WHEN BULLETS PIERCE THE FLESHTHEY ARE SAFELY FAR AWAYAND BACK IN SARAJEVOA GIRL STOOD INSIDE THE ROOMLISTENING TO MEN CALLED MERCHANTSOFFER GUNS TO FORESTALL DOOMTHEY SAID THEY CAME TO HELPWHEN MUSLIMS PLIGHT THEY'D HEARDBUT WHAT THEY HADSOMEHOW FAILED TO MENTIONWAS THEY SAID THE SAME THINGSTO THE SERBS6. Doesn't Matter Anyway[Music & Words: Jon Oliva, Paul O'Neill]It don't matter what you saidIn the mind of someone, you are now deadWhat makes it bad is they're living next doorSo you'll need some weapons?

This Isn't What We Meant[Music & Words: Jon Oliva, Paul O'Neill]We dared to ask for moreBut that was long before the nights began to burnYou would have thought we'd learnedYou can't make promises all based upon tomorrowHappiness, security are words we only borrowedFor is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent?Please understand this isn't what we meantThe future couldn't last, we nailed it to the pastWith every word a trap that no one can takeBack from all the architects who find their towers leaningAnd every prayer we pray at night has somehow lost its meaningFor is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent?Please understand this isn't what we meant[bridge]A long time ago when the world was prettyStanding right here in a different cityThey're not coming back any moreThey're not coming back any...[lead break][solo][extro]Is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent?Please understand this isn't what we meantTHEN HE CLIMBED ATOP THE RUBBLEOF THE FOUNTAIN IN THE SQUAREAND HE TOOK HIS CELLO OUTIN THE COLD NOVEMBER AIRAND AS THE TWILIGHT STARTED SETTINGON THE REMNANTS OF THIS DAYAS THE SHELLS BEGAN TO FALLTHE OLD MAN BEGAN TO PLAYAND IN THE DARKNESS OF THAT NIGHTEACH ON THEIR OWN RESPECTIVE SIDESTHE MUSLIM AND THE SERBWOULD WATCH THEIR COUNTRY'...
