God knows how I adore life  
When the wind turns on the shore, lies another day 
I cannot ask for more
When the time bell blows my heart  
And I have scored a better day  
Well nobody made this war of mine
And the moments that I enjoy  
A place of love and mystery I'll be there anytime
Oh, mysteries of love  
Where war is no more I'll be there anytime
When the time bell blows my heart  
And I have scored a better day  
Well nobody made this war of mine
And the moments that I enjoy  
A place of love and mystery  
I'll be there anytime
Mysteries of love  
Where war is no more  
I'll be there anytime

The glow around your face
When you see the lightning race
I know I'm very near
And I can hear the thunder
A woman of perplexity
A woman for eternity
A woman of the land
A woman for a man
I'm down on my knees
And I'm saying
Please believe me
It's hard to fall out
of love
completely
It's harder to find a way
to come back discreetly
To speak of things anew
To weep in quiet blue
Brocade upon your bed
Memories should fade
At least of you
A sceptre of ice and fire
A spectre of my desire
A girl-child of such loveliness
The woman of my emptiness
A woman of famed renown
A woman who kicks the clown
A woman of the land
A woman for a man

Strange Hobby album by Arjen Lucassen

Strange Hobby is an uncredited cover album by Arjen Lucassen, released in 1996. The album and the booklet contains no information about Lucassen and don't explain who was responsible for the recordings, to make the album even more "strange".
The album features covers of songs that have influenced Lucassen's musical development, mainly from the 1960s. As he did in his solo album Pools of Sorrow, Waves of Joy, Lucassen makes all the vocals and all the instruments (except drums and synthesizer), and arranged all the songs himself.

Yes - circus of heaven
Philadelphia 1979

In this song the voice of the young kid is from Damion, son of singer Jon Anderson.

The day the Circus of Heaven came to town
Local folks lined the streets in a Midwestern town
Waiting anxiously for the parade to begin all around
On the very last day
A unicorn headed the mystical way
Surrounded by what seemed a thousand golden angels at play
Behind were Centaurs, elves, bright fairies all in colours of jade
On the very final day
For what seemed only just a moment in time
Seven solemn flying silvered regal horses rode by
Seven golden chariots in tow, a wonder to behold
The Seven Lords of the Mountains of Time
There then arose where nothing really stood there before
A giant tent rising one thousand feet high frofrom the floor
Towns people flocked inside with their eyes all amazed
To greet the Seventh Lord of the seventh age
A fanfare rang out in an incredible sound
Bringing out the strangest visions perfect harmony round
Any dreams he asked would they like to have seen
>From historical or mythical scenes
Then there above their heads just as vivid as life
Each vision transported multitudes inventing light
Grecian galleons, the sack of Troy, to the Gardens of Babylon
A play of millions roared along
The gigantic dreams of Alexander the Great
Civil wars where fbrothers fought and killed their friendship with hate
All seen by Zeus performing scenes in the magical way
The day the circus came to town
Outside great animals as tame as the trees
Angels high in starlight dancing streets
Turning their colours with indigo and gold
Dropping violet, red and emerald snow
As the circus finally changed its invisible course
A new world to be found
On the dreamy ground we walked upon
I turned to my son and said
"Was that something beautiful, amazing, wonderful, extraordinary
  beautiful?"
"Oh! It was OK!! But there were no clowns, no tigers, lions or bears,
cand-floss, toffee apples, no clowns."

Come ride with me
Through the veins of history
I'll show you how god
Falls asleep on the job

And how can we win
When fools can be kings
Don't waste your time
Or time will waste you

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive

No one's gonna take me alive
The time has come to make things right
You and I must fight for our rights
You and I must fight to survive
