[Special Edition Bonus Track]

[a) Pigs on the Wing - Part I]

[Mike Baker:]
If you Didn't care what happened to me
And I didn't care
For you
We would zig zag our way through the boredom and pain
Occasionally glancing up through the rain
Wondering which of the buggers to blame
And watching for pigs on the wing

[Mike Baker / Gary Wehrkamp:] Climb it
[Mike Baker:] You say you'd like to see me try
[Mike Baker / Gary Wehrkamp:] climbing
[Mike Baker:] You pick the place and I'll choose the time
[Arjen Lucassen:]
And I'll climb that hill in my own way
Just wait a while for the right day
And as I rise above the tree lines and the clouds
I look down
Hearing the sound of the things you've said today
[Mike Baker:] Fearlessly the idiot faced the crowd
[Mike Baker / Gary Wehrkamp:] Smiling
[Mike Baker / Arjen Lucassen:] Merciless the magistrate turned 'round
[Mike Baker / Gary Wehrkamp:] Frowning

And go down
In your own way
And every day is the right day
And as you rise above the fear lines in his brow

[Gary Wehrkamp:] In the crowd

Wave upon wave of demented avengers march
Cheerfully out of obscurity into the dream
