Undercover 03:24
To the city, though it likely blows my cover Got to go and meet ‘the man’ Outside café with an ice cream and the paper He’s arriving on the tram Undercover, my life is not my own All you see of me is sham, never ever get to be alone Want to have a conversation with the man inside my head It’s a pointless conversation the path it leads to is a dead…..end
2.
Narrow Gate 03:14
Enter by the Narrow Gate broad is the road to destruction Enter by the Narrow Gate don’t have to follow the crowd Each path you try has a set of instructions simple to follow and easy to read But when you start to apply the instructions that’s when the obstacles grow in your mind Human desire’s a powerful entity not just so easy applying control Will must compete with desire and overcome Then you will get to the heart of the maze Into the Maze or Away……. Round, round start a - gain Enter the Maze if you will (can)…. Not many enter the Maze

The Maze 04:14
Chorus (repeats throughout) Into the Maze or away Round, round, start a - gain Enter the Maze if you will /can Not many enter the Maze / Not everyone enters ……… Spoken section 1 Each path you try has a set of instructions simple to follow and easy to read But when you start to apply the instructions that’s when the obstacles grow in your mind Human desire’s a powerful entity not just so easy applying control Will must compete with desire and overcome Then you will get to the heart of the maze Spoken section 2 Who do you turn to for guidance within the maze is there a guide to the paths in this maze? Yes, there’s a guide but how do you contact them Answer is there in the heart of the maze Each path you try has a set of instructions simple to follow and easy to read But Human desire’s a powerful entity not just so easy applying control
4.
Graveyards 05:51
I’ve been in the Maze now for 20 30 40 50 years Taken many turnings confronted by my vices and my fears Trust the guide to get me home because there has to be much more than this Perfect destination for the pilgrim on the journey to find bliss Life is filled with graveyards for the memories of friends who never were People passing through your life and taking what they want without a care Bitterness that festers has destroyed the life that once you could have had Songs that no one wants to hear the melodies that only leave you sad Cast into Graveyards Memories of friends you never had Down to the Graveyard Memories of friends who never were
