IN MY BLOOD
(Hughes/Marsh)

Moving through my system
Rushing to my brain
Welcome to the frontier
And I am so glad you came

Gone is my resistance
I was made this way
Vision getting clearer
I've had my darkest day

Beautiful the sinner
Led me to believe
I have walked the mountain
I'm ready to receive

It's in my blood
It's in my blood
You know I should
Cuz it's in my blood
In my blood

Tie me to the anchor
Paralyzed with fear
You thought this was the last time
You thought I could not hear
It only keeps me stronger
Now you can call it fate
Where many men have fallen
Preoccupied with hate

Shield me from temptation
Barricade the door
Here comes my guardian angel
I could not ask for more


HIGHER PLACES
(Hughes/Kollman)

I can see the future, it's been calling me
I'm gonna live my life, it's how it's gonna be
Some people never listen,
Some people gotta burn
They never hear a single thing,
And they will never learn

Mama's little baby, was going out to sea
You know he couldn't sail, so he slipped into a dream
I can see you ridin' on the crest of the storm
So come inside with me, cuz I will keep you warm

Higher places, distant faces
Can't you see they want to live again
Higher places, soul traces
Can't you see they want to live again

I can feel the sun shine,
And I want you to know
So many times I was alone, and there was no hope
So wash your hands in the water
Until you find your way
I keep on telling you
So maybe you won't stray
It's no use getting jaded,
The living wheel goes round
I was once frustrated,
And I finally hit the ground
I'll be glad to meet you, I won't let you fall
Cuz I was always there for you, I hope you do recall

And I want you to see, just how it's gonna be
Now don't, don't you agree, cuz it's supposed to be


SEAFULL
(Hughes)

Sleep for awhile
Then take a look
Rubbing my eyes
The truth a book

Oh, my head starts creeping
To where you lay
Sunset below
At the top of your bed

Yes, it's a Seafull
Burning our chain
Garden of Eden
Forever we'll stay

Talk to tears in your hand
Surely see
Oh, you've got to be in another land
You know where I can be found

Sowing the seeds
Of love right here
Stretch out your light
To shade in the past

Now he who speaks
Can't tell in our time
Done is the day
Now here comes the night

Yes, it's a Seafull
Burning our chain
Garden of Eden
Forever we'll stay

Yes, it's a Seafull
Burning our chain
Garden of Eden
Forever we'll stay
Forever we'll stay
Forever we'll stay
Forever we'll stay

Well hope I'm gonna make you see
Well hope I'm gonna make you see...


BEYOND THE NUMB
(Hughes)

Gone, she rides the dawn
Calm, before the storm
Now the angels cry
How will I get by?

It makes you fly it makes you run
It gets you high beyond the numb

Where did you go wrong?
Careless all along

So you sail away
No you could not stay
Why did you go
I just got to know

Fall on your knees
Call your disease


WRITTEN ALL OVER YOUR FACE
(Hughes/Marsh)

Seems you've been gone too long
Something is going on
When you walked out the door
It was written all over your face

You know I couldn't see
It's gone from my memory
There's no use in telling me
It was written all over your face

I don't feel like holding on
Something inside is gone
You're not that good for me
And it was written all over your face

Strange dreams are haunting me
You treat me like a refugee
That ain't the way that it should be
And it was written all over your face

And I don't want to think about tomorrow
And I don't want to live in yesterday
Now there's something wrong, what's going on
I believe in faith and it keeps me strong
I won't be turning my head no more
It is written, it is written

So many years ago
Now I've gotta let you go
Same as it's always been
And it's written all over your face

Thanks for the charity
Thanks cuz you lied to me
Thanks for the jealousy
It was written all over your face

Oh I, I'm gonna break that old tradition
You'd better find humility
But you are too blind to see
Oh I, you know I found a new condition
Cuz I want my life to be
To bring love and harmony
Now it's time to set you free
Right now

SEVENTH STAR
(Iommi/Hughes)

There's a vision in the sands
Rising from the ancient past
Crying let my spirit go
Lead my burning soul to rest

Hear the sound of distant ages
It's the call of the seventh start

There's no shelter from the heat
There's no mercy from this land
Hear a thousand chanting souls
Waiting judgement from God's hand

Hear the sound of distant ages
It's the call of the seventh start
Hear the sound of fallen angels
It's the call of the seventh start

The pyramids will fall
Turn to dust before the sun
And the star will rise again
Until destiny is done

Hear the sound of distant ages
It's the call of the seventh start
Hear the sound of fallen angels
It's the call of the seventh start


MISTREATED
(Blackmore/Coverdale/Hughes)

I've been mistreated
I've been abused
I've been struck down-hearted, baby
I've been confused

Cos I know, yes I know
I've been mistreated
Since my baby left me
I've been losing my mind

I've been lonely
I've been cold
I've been looking for a woman
To have and hold

Cos I know, yes I know
I've been mistreated
Since my baby left me
I've been losing, I've been losing
I've been losing my mind

I've been mistreated
I've been abused
I've been looking for a woman
I've been confused

Cos I know, yes I know
I've been mistreated
Since my baby left me
I've been losing, losing
I've been losing my mind
Oh woman I've been losing my mind


GETTIN' TIGHTER
(Hughes/Bolin)

When night time comes
And I'm 10,000 miles away
Just lose yourself
And watch the band kick back
And play

Get up - keep in line
It's gettin' tighter all the time
You say you're feelin' fine
It's gettin' tighter all the time

Get a load off your mind
This place is right
It's hard to find

The mood is set alright
It's gonna be a long, long night
You keep on spinning 'round
You find it hard to touch the ground
And time is all it takes
You'll find it easy once you make

Get up - keep in line
It's getting' tighter all the time

Gettin' tighter
Gettin' tighter


YOU KEEP ON MOVING
(Coverdale/Hughes)

You keep on moving
Far away, far away
You keep on moving
Far away, far away
Everyday, wheels are turning
And the cry...still returning

Dawn will soon be breaking
The day has just begun
You put your arms around me
Like a circle 'round the sun
Dance across the seasons
To a place that no one knows
Where angels fear to tread

You keep on moving
Far away, far away
You keep on moving
Far away, far away
Everyday, wheels are turning
And the cry...still returning


WHEREVER YOU GO
(Hughes/Marsh)

Wherever you go
Just like a star in the night
You got to keep shining
Wherever you go

Sun
Fall from the sky
Lay down your body and soul you have got to keep shining
Wherever you go

You live in your fantasy
And you'll never die
I know that you long to be
Again satisfied

Rain
Rises the sea
Carry the weight on your shoulder, you gotta keep flying
Wherever you go

Kill
Me with your sigh
Somewhere the race has been won, you just gotta keep flying
Wherever you go

You live in your fantasy
And you'll never die
I know that you long to be
Again justified
A bitter reality
When it comes to an end
You're facing a tragedy
Same old story again

Sail
On through the night
Hope you will try to imagine, that you'll keep on shining
Wherever you go
