1. Carry On Wayward Son
[Kansas]
[Refrain] Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done
Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more
Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high
Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them say
[Refrain]
Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed about I'm like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune But I hear the voices say
[Refrain] No!
Carry on, you will always remember Carry on, nothing equals the splendor Now your life's no longer empty Surely heaven waits for you
[Refrain]
2. Pictures Of Home
[Deep Purple]
Somebody's shouting Up at a mountain
Only my own words return Nobody's up there It's a deception When will I ever learn?
[CHORUS:]
I'm alone here With emptiness eagles and snow Unfriendliness chilling my body And whispering pictures of home
Wondering blindly How can they find me Maybe they don't even know My body is shaking Anticipating The call of the black footed crow...
[Chorus]
Here in this prison Of my own making Year after day I have grown Into a hero But there's no worship Where have they hidden my thrown...
[Chorus]
3. Gates Of Babylon
[Rainbow]
Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind
Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The Gates to Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away Oh Gates of Babylon
You can see but you're blind Someone turned the sun around But you can see in your mind The Gates of Babylon You're riding the endless caravan Bonded and sold as a slave A saber dance removing all the veils Getting as good as you gave A saber dance removing all the veils Getting as good as you gave Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away
Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind
Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The Gates of Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil, the devil will take you away Black Gates of Babylon The devil is me And I'm holding the key To the gates of sweet hell Babylon

5. In The Dead Of Night
[Jobson/Wetton]
Are you one of mine who can sleep with one eye open wide? Agonizing psychotic solitary hours to decide Reaching for the light at the slightest noise from the floor Palms of hands perspire heart goes leaping at a knock from the door. In the Dead of Night In the Dead of Night Rich and powerful ascend complicated bends to be free To indulge in what they will and jaded thrill or fanstasy Shuttered windows that belie all stifled cries from within And prying eyes are blind to proceedings of the kind that begin In the Dead of Night In the Dead of Night
6. Mistreated

7. The Sails Of Charon
[Roth]
Dark night, there is no light In the realm of the black magic man Soul's flight into the cold blight Of the destroyer's magic land Poor man, whose spirits are stronger They're a little too weary You're starting to...
Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood Soon black magic's dying You'd better start crying Blind man, you're suckin' your own blood Soon black magic's dying You'd better start crying
Throw out your evil desire The dark king's kingdom is Made out of mire
Throw out your evil desire The dark king's kingdom is Made out of mire
Keep on for the kingdom of light There is no darkness, there is no night
8. Demon's Eye
[Deep Purple]
I don't mind just what you say. I never heard you, baby, never heard you anyway.
I don't care what you do just so long as it ain't me and you. Sly, sly, sly like a demon's eye.
Everything's good, I said, everything's fine. You don't know, don't know it's the end of your time. How does it feel to be turned away? I've known it, baby, almost every day. Sly, sly, sly like a demon's eye.
I don't need you anymore, I don't want you, baby, hanging round my door. You slip and slide round my brain. You think you're so clever, yeah, but you know you're insane. Sly, sly, sly like a demon's eye.
I d-d-don't mind just what you say. I never heard you, baby, I never heard you anyway, no I didn't. Everything's good, everything's fine. You don't know it's the end of your time. Sly, sly, sly like the demon's eye, like the demon's eye.
9. Anthem
[Lee/Lifeson/Peart]
Know your place in life is where you want to be Don't let them tell you that you owe it all to me Keep on looking forward; no use in looking 'round Hold your head above the ground and they won't bring you down
Anthem of the heart and anthem of the mind A funeral dirge for eyes gone blind We marvel after those who sought New wonders in the world, wonders in the world, Wonders in the world they wrought.
Live for yourself there's no one else More worth living for Begging hands and bleeding hearts will Only cry out for more
Well, I know they've always told you Selfishness was wrong Yet it was for me, not you, I Came to write this song
10. Child In Time
[Deep Purple]
Sweet child in time you'll see the line
The line that's drawn between the good and the bad See the blind man shooting at the world Bullets flying taking toll If you've been bad, Lord I bet you have And you've been hit by flying lead You'd better close your eyes and bow your head And wait for the ricochet
