Lyrics:
"Utopia"
  
  City in my head
  Utopia
  Heaven in my body
  Utopia
  It's time for me
  For me to go.
  
  City in my head
  Utopia
  Heaven in my body
  Utopia
  Into the sky
  It rises now.
  
"Freak Parade"
  
  I never was bothered by bad dreams
  They never made me afraid
  But then I never did dream I'd wake up
  And find me in the freak parade.
  
  I guess I had to find out the hard way
  I shouldn't have been so proud
  'Cause here I'm the main attraction
  Of every giggle in the crowd.
  
  So I gotta
  Take my place in the freak parade
  See my face in the freak parade.
  In a world full of freaks
  You can creep, you can crawl
  But the world's biggest freak
  Is the one with no balls.
  
  You know you shouldn't poke fun at strangers
  Or pity their case at all
  'Cause there are lots of friends and lovers
  That take it kind of personal.
  
  You might appreciate our position
  Don't laugh at our freaky ways
  You might find yourself tomorrow
  Marching in the freak parade.
  
  You better
  Take your place in the freak parade
  See your face in the freak parade
  Get of the sidewalk!
  
"Freedom Fighters"
  
  Tucked away in the darkest cupboard of your heart
  There's a feeling you can't let out
  In a way you are just a soldier of the mind
  You are marching, what are you marching about?
  
  On your mark, now get set
  Get back on your feet
  We ain't down yet
  You know we will get it
  So don't you forget
  That the world rolls on.
  
  Your reward will come
  It's just a question of how and when
  Look around, everyone is wondering where it's at
  Do you wonder, or do you know?
  
  Clap your hands! Raise your voice
  Some people will hide
  They can't stand the noise
  But we're freedom fighters
  And we've got no choice.
  
  In a way you are just a soldier of the mind
  But the world rolls on.
  Your reward will come
  
  And the truth will come and the change will come
  It's just a question of how and when
  I can't believe my eyes.
  
"The Ikon"
  
Following the evolutionary acquisition of telepathic abilities, men discover themselves to be mankind and joyfully begin to adjust their thinking along these lines. As is not uncommon in 
historic events, the more eloquent gather, in this case to unravel the snarl of a formerly physically oriented world. Out of the pomp, circumstance and unrestrained excitement of the event, 
there is one lasting result: There remains the shining form of humanity's highest aspirations, molded in thought and more powerful and alive than any material world force. The Ikon.
  
  On a day like no other
  In a time unique, in a place divine
  Keep your eye on the Ikon
  Shining in the light of eternal mind.
  
  I went to sleep a blind man
  But when I awoke I saw
  The legions of the lonely
  See their faces, hear them call.
  
  See how they hang on
  Each one in a world of his own design
  Listen to the Ikon
  Ringing in the sound of eternal mind.
  
  And the music plays forever
  And it captures every ear
  And the sound of barriers crashing down
  Is the sweet harmony you hear.
  
  Still, be still
  To strong, so be still
  Much too long, come down
  Be still, look around
  Listen here, be still
  Hear the sound, be still.
  
  Still we are here
  We are still
  Will we sing sweet
  Sing we will
  Still we are here
  We are still
  Nil is a fear all is nil
  Still we are here we are still
  Spill it let go let it spill.
  
  The question comes to mind
  About what should be done
  And how much of the old will die
  That the new may be begun
  But you don't have to be afraid
  Of being alone with nowhere to run.
  
  You don't have to be afraid
  To look yourself in the eye
  You don't have to be afraid not to lie.
  
  Someone knows who you are
  Someone watches over you
  Someone knows how you feel
  And someone feels the same.
  
  So you don't have to be afraid
  Never fear, for you are living in eternal mind
  
  For those who still recoil
  For those who fear the pain
  Of peering o'er the edge of
  A new and different plane.
  
  You don't have to be afraid
  Whenever you go you come back again
  So you don't have to be afraid
  We live and we die
  You don't have to be afraid to know why.
