              PROLOGUE: INTO THE FOREVER
              Words and music by Triumph

              Instrumental
 

              NEVER SAY NEVER
              Words and music by Triumph with Simone

              Keeping the faith is a constant fight
              We live and we breath it
              And when you feel the cause is right
              You gotta believe  it
              Which is stronger, your hope or your fear?
              Meet the challenge of your life...

              CHORUS:
              Never say never -- don't let me down
              Try to understand
              (Never say never) I will always be around
              Never say never again

              They say if you're not aware of history
              You're doomed to repeat it
              You  gotta face up to your enemy
              "N" try to defeat it
              Somehow you can find the strength
              Somewhere that's deep down inside

              CHORUS

              I still believe in the power of truth
              That the fire of freedom can burn in the heart of a song
              Dare to dream in all that you do
              Forever can never be wrong

              CHORUS
 

              HEADED FOR NOWHERE
              Words and music by Triumph and Rick Santers

              I've had a long, long time to think it over now
              You're not the one I waited  for
              You're askin' me to let it go for now
              I can't take it anymore

              What did you expect?
              You've thrown away your self-respect
              But I'm not  gonna let you take me down,
              So I'll see you 'round

              CHORUS:
              Headed for nowhere, I don't want to go there
              I know you've been leading me on
              Headed for nowhere, I know that you don't care, so
              Don't try  to drag me along

              You never stopped to ask where do we go from here
              You've had the answers all along
              But now you see the deadline, it's drawing near
              And you don't  know where you went wrong

              You've had it all your way
              And I stood beside you, come what may
              But  I'm not gonna follow you no more, no more

              CHORUS

              I've had a long, long time to think it over now
              You're not the one I waited for
              You're askin' me to let it go for now
              I can't take it anymore

              I know you'll never change
              Playin' all your games
              But I'm not gonna  follow you no more, no more

              CHORUS
 

              ALL THE  KING'S HORSES
              Words and music by Triumph and Steve Morse

              There's a hole in the sky that leads nowhere
              A link gone missing  from the chain
              There's a hole in our hearts, an empty promise there
              Can  you tell me if we'll ever be the same
              The rhetoric of power speaks a language  of fear
              But no border no boundaries could ever hold us here
              How can the  rain keep from washing al your words away?

              CHORUS

              All the king's horses and all the king's men
              Can they ever put the world  back together again,
              Before we reach the end?
 

              CARRY ON THE FLAME
              Words and music by Triumph and Dave Tkaczuk

              Searchin' for something
              In a world that's  dark and strange
              When you think you've found answers
              That's when the  answers change

              Into your hands it's fallin'
              Can't you hear the future callin'

              CHORUS:
              Carry on the flame
              Walk inside the light

              The wisdom of the light
              Don't ever be denied
              Can never be denied
              Carry on the flame
              Through the darkest  night
              Hold it on high
              Keep the fire burnin' deep inside

              You live for the moment But the moment slips away
              A better tomorrow  takes
              Your best today

              Into your hands it's fallin'
              Can't you hear the future callin'

              CHORUS

              (King's Horses Reprise)

              All the king's horses and all the king's men
              Won't you try to bring the world together?
              Amen...

              You can set your sights a little bit higher
              You can make it burn just a  little bit brighter
              It's your legacy, your destiny
              Carry on the flame...
 

              LET THE LIGHT  (SHINE ON ME)
              Words and music by Triumph

              I've walked beside you through a thousand dreams
              Sometimes I wonder where the journey leads
              We never seem to get to where we want to go...no...
              I won't betray the trust you have in me
              I'll never lose my faith in what can be
              Don't  ever be afraid to let your feelings show...no...
              Nothing to fear, no place to hide
              We got to face the truth inside

              CHORUS:
              Let the light that shines in your eyes shine on me
              Let it shine forever
              Let the light shine on me
              We can build a dream together now

              One in a million are the odds we face
              One in a million that's a chance I'll take
              Cause when the moment comes I'll take my chance with you
              And  when it's more than you can bear
              You call my name and I'll be there

              CHORUS

              So hard to find your way out of the dark
              Let the light shine from your  heart...

              CHORUS
 

              LONG TIME  GONE
              Words and music by Triumph

              You say you're not afraid behind your walls of pride
              They keep the world away but something's trapped inside
              I'll go any way the wind blows
              And you know the storm comes and the river will run
              You better hold on to the moment
              Cause it may never come again

              CHORUS:
              Long time gone
              Where do we go from here
              Long time gone away..

              The voice of reason begs the fighting takes its toll
              You're bangin' big square pegs into little round holes
              But I'll go anyplace your heart goes and you know
              The music plays and the heart obeys

              You gotta keep this thing together
              But you don't know the why or  how
              It's getting hard to find forever
              In the state of here and now

              CHORUS
 

              ROCK YOU DOWN
              Words and music by Triumph

              CHORUS:
              I just wanna rock you, wanna rock you
              I just wanna rock you girl, down, down,  down
              Wanna rock you, wanna rock you
              Wanna rock you down

              Tired of talkin', don't mess me around
              I wanna rock you girl, down, down, down
              Time to move it baby, take it underground
              I wanna rock you

              CHORUS

              C'mon girl make up you mind
              Your body's talkin' and I'm on the line
              No time to lose, let's roll the dice
              Test your limits, find out if you're alive

              CHORUS

              Don't hesitate you'll only pay the price
              Live for the moment and don't  think twice
              C'mon baby I wanna make your mine
              Send me a message or some  kind of sign

              Mmmm yeah, let's talk about it
              It's party time at the house of blue light
              Every Saturday night

              You know I've seen a lot of ladies strut through this place
              But when I first laid eyes on you I thought I'd...
              You look so good...so hot
              I just can't resist...
 

              PRELUDE: THE WAKING DREAM
              Words and music by Triumph

              (Instrumental)
 

              ON AND ON
              Words and music  by Triumph

              You sit and wonder lonely in the night
              But you can't seem to make up your mind
              There ain't no way to leave all the worry behind
              Callin' out for Lady Luck
              She just lets  you down
              Try to take her as she comes Hang on: Turn it around

              CHORUS:
              On and on it goes
              Where it stops nobody knows
              On and on it goes
              Round and round and it won't slow down

              Is this the right place -- the right time?
              Nobody gives guarantees
              How  can you tell the sound of opportunity?
              Comin' down to the moment of truth
              One word could make it right
              I wonder if you feel it too
              Hey, maybe we're gonna get lucky tonight

              CHORUS

              You're not the only one in the world
              That can feel something's wrong
              A  broken heart, another lonely night
              Still we go on and on and on

              CHORUS
 

              ALL OVER AGAIN
              Words and music by Roger Freeland and Joe Pizzulo

              Questions of mind -- that words never answer
              A test of the heart  -- we face all alone
              Are we wasting time -- I can't help to wonder
              Still  we go no -- I know that I can't let you go,

              CHORUS:
              I'm in love with you (all over)
              I'm in love with you (all  over)
              After all that we've been through
              All over again

              Deep in the night lying beside you
              It's so easy to feel the love that we  share
              Your body's so warm -- and I need to hold you
              Close to my heart, tight in my arms, all of my life

              CHORUS

              You are the one I keep runnin' to
              Runnin' back to your arms
              All over again

              CHORUS
 

              RUNNING  IN THE NIGHT
              Words and music by Triumph/Baker/Scott

              Late in the evening
              Emotions running wild
              The shivers in your  fingers tell no lies
              I know I make you crazy
              I don't want to break your heart

              CHORUS:
              Bout ooh, ooh come with me girl
              Running in the night
              Tonight
              Stay with me until the morning light
              Tonight
              I can  feel the passion burning
              Tonight

              Time goes on and on
              Until the well runs dry
              Waiting won't turn water into wine
              Stand still for a moment
              And you're frozen for all time

              CHORUS

              Ooh, ooh girl come with me
              Tonight
              We'll make the fire grow
              Listen to the sirens in your  soul
              Tonight
