Asia - Never Again (Complete Track) - Phoenix album 2008
Description :
''This lyric documents my personal odyssey over the last three years. Many astrologers believe we are entering The Age of Gemini, and some hold this more than a little responsible for the drastic change in my perception, and behaviour from June 2005 to the present day. Each night, as I sing the second verse (...'a dazzling creation....') on stage, I cannot escape the startling visual image of Xerxes from the film '300', but the real meat in the sandwich here (as usual) is the chorus, which is really a kind of distilled mantra for The Ten Commandments. The verse itself is upbeat and optimistic, also altruistic, but this becomes triple underlined in the chorus.'' - JOHN WETTON
Never Again
(Wetton/Downes)
I saw the universe, I held it in my hand
The planets and the stars, merely grains of sand
The darkness that I knew is no more
The sun will shine for me, of that I can be sure
This is the day, the day of my ascendance
A time for life, a time for independence
NEVER AGAIN will I bear arms against my brother
NEVER AGAIN will I dishonour anyone
NEVER AGAIN will I wish evil on another
NEVER AGAIN will I spill blood of any mother's son
The age of Gemini, a dazzling creation
A new enlightenment, a great illumination
Dark acts of history must never be repeated
I know I must treat you, the way I'd be treated
This is the day, the day of liberation
A time for life, for new regeneration
NEVER AGAIN will I bear arms against my brother
NEVER AGAIN will I dishonour anyone
NEVER AGAIN will I wish evil on another
NEVER AGAIN will I spill blood of any mother's son
I'm climbing now, I'm gaining altitude
And now my hands can feel the grip
My head is spinning with a synergy
The power that takes me up and up
NEVER AGAIN will I bear arms against my brother
NEVER AGAIN will I dishonour anyone
NEVER AGAIN will I wish evil on another
NEVER AGAIN will I spill blood of any mother's son

what makes you think he is a druggie ? do you think he could play intricate passages and compose songs like this if he were all fucked up ? I think not.
Hey, butt and bobby...dont be a fool!!
Yes, Mr. Howe is old..and wise..cause..he has the Power..and this Power..never ends..why do you to search and become enlightened...??
Oh don't think I don't know that. Mr. Howe still rules to me.
I think all the drugs have cougt up to him. I am still a big fan of Asia though... they still sound the same after all these years. Im only 17, but Asia is by far my favorite band.
sounds like a classic to me.
These guys are Legends
ooh steve used to look so great in 80`s but now got the look of a walking dead....
I know. It's a shame
Whatever- I am just glad to see one of my all time favorite bands back in action. THIS band, THIS lineup, defined my youth. What was done with various members is not all bad, that said I think this is the best. I feel 14 again. The last thing I have yet to see them is live, then it will be complete!
Fascinating!!! I've been to a concert of theirs recently and I cannot find the words to say how much I enjoyed it!!! Welcome back!!! :)
