The Great Similitude Medley (Live in Hamburg 2022)

It's been a long day

But I feel I must travel

'Cause I've seen some hard times And they're haunting my soul

My life is a shadow

And at home I'm a stranger

And it's been a long day now

But I feel I must go

I've got to go

ii City of Destruction

Sleep depraved. Dawn patrol.

My life blood's running circles 'round my soul All the people in normal land

Rest while I get a midnight tan

Cause I...

I just hope I can sleep tonight

How can I shake this stain?

My family thinks that I'm insane like I Got a vice on my head

My brain goes on like the walking dead But I...

From within and without

It just keeps on screaming

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

Don't wait another day

This is your chance to escape from the corruption There is no other way

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction Where anger breeds disdain

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction Where pleasure comes with pain

You gotta, you gotta

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction Where anger breeds disdain

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction Where pleasure comes with pain

This is your chance to escape from the corruption Don't wait another day

You gotta get out of the City of Destruction

There is no other way

I walked into the change

But now it feels so wrong There's mountains in my way And I just can't go on

How did I get so far gone

To who I am today?

Now my life seems painted on And I'm so far gone

Maybe too far gone

To ever find the way – hey, yeah, yeah. Woo!

I used to seize the day Living from the heart But now I'm torn apart But I have lost my way And now it's getting dark

How did I get so far gone

To who I am today?

Now my life seems painted on And I'm so far gone (so far gone) Maybe too far gone (so far gone) Yes I'm too far gone (so far gone) Maybe too far gone

To ever find the way [Instrumental interlude]

You can turn

You're not too far

The King loves you

With all his heart

And every lie can be made true

For I have seen the broken sky turn blue The broken sky turnblue

You think He would have me still

After I left His will

And did some things I knew were wrong You choose your destiny

Now I begin to see

The man I would like to be

Deep as a river song

It now makes sense to me

Go to the wicket gate

Go and don't hesitate

His will is the way

It now makes sense to me

Don't be deceived again

By the sleight hand of men With feet made of clay

It now makes sense to me Shine to the mountain peak Shine to the place you seek That won't fade away

Walking straight ahead wondering in the way I wander My feet are feeling fine

What's that up ahead?

Someone coming up the way

He is a worldly man!

I tell him my plan and he says, "What are you doing?

You're simple as pudding

It's not worth pursuing

I know the way out!

All the ways of a fool

They are right in his own eyes Go on back, keep your cool Don't you miss the city lights? And those worldly delights Trust me I know I'm right

Reason is the rule

Logic is a mighty fortress

And life is nothing more

Perception is the truth

Why not make it what you want? And I'm a successful man!

My offer is easy

Invent your reality, made up morality Legal legality second to none."

All the ways of a fool

They are right in his own eyes Go on back, keep your cool All the ways of a fool

 They are right in his own eyes Go on back, keep your cool Don't you miss the city lights? And those worldly delights Trust me I know I'm right

Hello, I'm the abandoned son I turned my back on everyone Retreating deep

Into my wandering mind

My father left and went his way Religion went on holiday

And nothings really necessary Where broken lives are ordinary When I complain

I hear the people say

Welcome to the world Welcome to the world Welcome to the world

Welcome to the world

Where the struggle is real And you know how it feels

To beg, plead or borrow Welcome to the world

Where dreams come to die And the innocent cry

Cause there ain't no tomorrow Welcome to, welcome to, Welcome to the world

Welcome to the world

Where the talk is cheap

And the tab is steep

And the lies are spoken Welcome to the world

A collective disguise

And the wolf cries at your door

Welcome to the world

Where you only have friends

If you're means to an end and it's Always unspoken welcome to theWorld where twinklin' eyes

Will despise you at your core

Welcome to the world that's always Wanting more, more, more!

Welcome to the world

Where the struggle is real And you know how it feels

To beg, plead or borrow Welcome to the world

Where dreams come to die And the innocent cry

Cause there ain't no tomorrow Welcome to, welcome to, Welcome to, welcome to, Welcome to, welcome to, Welcome to the world

I'm headed out to who knows where My path is treading lightly

I can see the city standing there The morning clouds behind me

The sky is red under the sun As the earth begins to rise Like a love that never dies

It's the great adventure of my life and I feel the motion everywhere

It's the great adventure of my life and There's revolution in theair

I am striving for a better life and

I feel like I can make it here

It's the great adventure of my life and Anything can happen here

All the voices made their choices Trapped in all they see

The lunatics and politics

All binding up in me

Breaking out I'm leaving doubt and Darkness far behind

Pushing through to something new That's glowing in my mind

Glowing in my mind

It's the great adventure of my life

And I feel the motion everywhere

It s the great adventure of my lite and There's revolution in the air

It s the great adventure of my life

It's the great adventure of my life And anything can happen here

Come on!

We can make it through together Come on! As the dawn begins to rise

Come on!

We can pass into forever

With a love that never dies

To the river I am going

Coming 'cross the great divide Mourn not for me for I am entering To a love that never dies

I am going to the river With a love that never dies

There's a love that never dies

And it's been a long day

Down this road I have traveled And it's been a dark night

And I've been searching so long Through the rain and the fire

I have finally found you

And it's been a long day now But this son's coming home

This son's coming home

This son's coming home – c'mon
