Age of Ignorance Running through a sea of green I looked to the sky And wished the clouds Into shapes of my imagination Lying in the grass The day had passed me by I watched bright lights unfold And blossom in the sky Innocence I did not see That was only the way I wanted to be Watched by all They rise and fall The keys to the past When we explain Our plans are in vain The future is locked In the minds of the present They sent me away To a place of truth Knowledge was given At a price My sudden awareness I did not want Deprived of my dreams My freedom of choice Innocence Was taken from me That was only the way I used to be I learned of the stars And the clouds I had seen I could not retain My own memories Of the bright lights Above a sea of green
2.
Victory Parade The man of the past Sporting musket and arrows Drew decisions on the battlefield Things to be were revealed   Uncommon laws for a common cause   To save the ground upon which they walked Was the essence of their existence To move out West or save North from South They killed their brothers with devoted persistence   Playing with fire Or throwing stones Becomes a game of power To overthrow Pack up the tribe Start the crusade March through the streets Foreign banners wave   The man of the present Has the past to live down To compensate for early mistakes He has to detonate in the underground   The tremble and quake was our own mistake   Revolutionary leaders And forgotten sons Take the blame for the nation In the battle not won Imperial powers Place a lock on the tomb The shame of the nation The death of their home   The man of the future Laughs at that which has been While he picks through the rubble and dirt Immune to the loss and hurt   Find unwelcome treasures from the drastic measures   Chivalry and valor are long since dead The stuff of legends most easily ignored Opposing only to carry on tradition The battle becomes a pastime of the bored
3.
The Grand Façade   High and mighty on their thrones We get tricked by their deception Fearful of the common word They lie to counter oppression   Promises made Promise betrayed We keep them under suspicion Interrogate the hypocrites Subject them to crucifixion   Cast the foundations Break the mold Building blocks crash to the ground Weave their web of hope and faith Swallow their pride Let the people down   Tell us right when they mean wrong Adding to our confusion Going past where they lead on Seeing through the illusion   Break the rules Lies the lies Signing a new constitution Keep the people in the dark Countdown to revolution   Silent citizens hold their stand Faithful to their reaction Guilty parties are dealt their hand Leading to extradition   Players in a game of money Of power and exhibition The wicked walk on every side Shining light on our superstition
4.
Impact Eighty   Foolish impulse As you live on the edge Always pushing farther Cross that fatal bridge Lying in your solitude No more light will your eyes see Feel the loss in our hearts For eternity   Take the life From your eyes You left too soon No one said goodbye Take the life From your friends They had it all Accept the bitter end   Feeling remorse For your family Learning to cope with that Harsh reality Those who don’t believe That your gone so soon Blame it on themselves or others Forgetting about you   You’re in the past We get on with our lives I still see your face The memory never fades I remember Times you made me laugh Now I see that memory Will never fade   Dedicated to the memory of Colleen Merriman
5.
In Spectral Eye   I move as the shadow That light cannot bend Stealthily silent In my procession To catch a sight You dare not blink I set my wail upon the wind   A wisp of smoke The milky veil To enshroud your head And mind An icy breath of Death, my friend That steals your soul with comic malign   A life that has gone But refuses to move on Keeps silent company In the eternal playground The festering soul Only shreds of the whole Feeds instinctive desires To run the Merry- go- round   To see me hover Changing shape and matter Cast a glance Peripherally Yet within my hand I clutch your heart The beat and blood of you And me   I will take your hand And lead you on To a world of neither Heaven Nor Hell But a place where you Will become like me Between two times to forever dwell

Stellar Dreams Stars weave their lace When we build castles in space Escape the harsh reality Building beyond The new colony Cast aside differences Boundaries are repressed No territory for each nation One void By all possessed As we exist in the beyond We become extinct in the beyond Reverence to immensity Astral heavens to infinity The excuse to leave our home To escape the coming stone A common worldly plight “For our homeland we must fight” The dreams of men before To open a cosmic door A portal to the stars Where imagination runs afar As we explore the gilded place The vast and empty space Our dreams are too celestial Reality too Terrestrial
7.
Red Sun Sets Sitting in an open place Soft wind blows Through the air I see The approaching form Take shape and grow Here he comes Moving nearer still Through the mist and haze Wrinkled and weathered cracks Upon his face Still we behold his spectacle With a distant fascination Time will come When he lives Without reservation His mysterious march Beating through the memories Feather in hand Decorated the head Of a prophet or a doctor Driven from his land Forward he moves He is past me now To the white building Free his ground somehow As the dust devil turns As the red sun sets

about

Released in December 1989 on Red Sun Records, "Admit One" was well received in the US and across Europe, and 25 years later, the eight original songs remain uncannily relevant.
