Winter displayed in a snow white haze
Fires burning brightly in the night

Tragedy and mystery
Open your mind and you will see

From waterfalls I hear romantic calls
Feather in a ray of sunlight

Tragedy and mystery
Open your mind and you will see

Your world is changing though you cannot see
And there's no room for secrecy
Your world is changing faster everyday
And there's no truth in what they say

Two by two
My heaven made blue
Life in a world of love and truth

Tragedy and mystery
Open your mind and you will see

Your world is changing though you cannot see
And there's no room for secrecy
Your world is changing faster everyday
And there's no truth in what they say

China Crisis

China Crisis is an English pop/rock band. They were formed in 1979 in Kirkby, near Liverpool, Merseyside with a core of vocalist/keyboardist Gary Daly and guitarist Eddie Lundon. Their output was pop music similar in style to that of New Wave but with strong similarities to the post-punk movement of the early 1980s, namely inclusion of a broader range of musical influences and occasional flirtation with political commentary.[citation needed] Throughout their career, China Crisis has seen moderate success in the United Kingdom with ten hit singles between August 1982 and January 1987 and six albums, as well as commercial success in Western Europe, Australia and the Americas. more »
