In the dead of night She'll come and take you away Searing beams of light and thunder Over blackened plains She will find her way Flying high through the night She will hide your fate As she takes your soul from under And the blinding light of the castle fades There is no escape It's the ending of your precious life Your soul slipped away It belongs to the Queen of the Reich The Queen of the Reich Yeah she's coming for you You're fading away Your life cast astray A victim the beast shall obtain The light will not shine For you'll die tonight at her shrine And black is the last thing you'll see Over and over Dreams of dying fill your head It's the sign of the cross That you'll find ahead No one will answer The light is fading away Captive souls are screaming out in pain There is no escape It's the ending of your precious life Your soul slipped away It belongs to the Queen of the Reich You're fading away, No, No, No The Queen of the Reich You're slipping away, yeah The Queen of the Reich |

On a lonely walk this morning A light mist in the air Dark clouds laughing at me in silence Casting shadows through my hair In the distance I saw a woman Dressed in black with eyes of grey She wore her pain like a shackled spirit Eternal life was her debt to pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The wind song whispered a warning Telling me to beware Of the quiet shadowed woman And of the sadness I would share We sat for sometime together in silence Never speaking in words Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes And I listened remembering all I heard The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The words she spoke were of forgotten lives And of all knowledge gained Mem'ries I had and didn't know why With a smile she explained I should have listened to the wind's cold warning And walked the other way I touched her soul and now I bear her sentence But for her love I'll gladly pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free |

I remember I was asking why And someday you said I'd know All these years, of fighting hard And now it's finally come too close I can't believe it's now happening to me Oh, couldn't it wait a few hundred years Destiny can't rest you see, now it's time Time to cry your tears! Now cry! The child of centuries, forgotten in time You talk in circles of rhyme Seer of places future and past The warning you gave us is surely our last Warning! Behold the child, his pointing hand Is raised in solemn grace His eyes once wide with learning wonder Now leave stains upon his face Now see the hands of the working man He's leaning back against the wall Once busy hands are idle now Standing ready for the fall! Our fall! The signs will come as days past by For those that claim to see The blind will stay not choosing to die Not believing the visions I've seen Warning! |

We see the light of those who find A world has passed them by To late to save a dream that's growing cold We realize that fate must hide its face From those who try To see the distant signs of unforetold Oh... oh, take hold From a haze came a rage of thunder Distant signs of darkness on the way Fading cries scream of pain and hunger But in the night the light will guide your way So take hold of the flame Don't you see life's a game So take hold of the flame You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain Ride, to a place beyond our time Reach, for the edges of your mind, and you are there See, that the light will find its way Back to a place where it will stay, make it stay Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you With the air of freedom the flame grows bright We are the strong, the youth united We are one, we are children of the light So take hold of the flame Don't you see life's a game So take hold of the flame You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain |

What? You say you're through with me I'm not through with you We've had what others might call love You say it's over now, What's done, what's through? You can't stay away, you need me I need you When the fire starts the pain's too much For your mind You need attention, what's good is only mine I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart Just come to me I'll take you home We'll walk in the shadows By day we'll live in a dream We'll walk in the shadows You say you don't feel safe alone tonight Cause you feel the pressure building in your head Our secret's safe for one more night But when the morning comes remember I'll be with you We'll walk in the shadows By day we'll live in a dream We'll walk in the shadows One day you'll be with me If only you believe... |

As you awoke this morning and opened up your eyes Did you notice the tear-stains lining your face were mine Don't you wonder, can't you see what's happening to our lives I can't keep living this masquerade When my lonely eyes see only your face at night I only see in infrared I can't dream anymore Can't you see I need, too I can't stand the pain You've gathered all my secrets and I don't know who I am I even feel alone when you're near 'cause you'll never understand When we first met I must have seemed a million miles away It's strange how our lives have touched But the time is right I'll leave tonight Don't look in my eyes 'Cause you've never seen them so black I only see in infrared I can't dream anymore Can't you see I need to I can't stand the pain |

I awoke on impact Under surveillance from the camera eye Searching high and low The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime Handcuffed and blind, i didn't do it She said she loved me I guess i never knew But do we ever, ever really know? She said she'd meet me on the other side But i knew right then, i'd never find her I don't believe in love I never have, i never will I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel No more nightmares, i've seen them all From the day i was born, they've haunted my every move Every open hand's there to push and shove No time for love it doesn't matter She made a difference I guess she had a way Of making every night seem bright as day Now i walk in shadows, never see the light She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye I don't believe in love I never have, i never will I don't believe in love I'll just pretend she never was real I don't believe in lovev i need to forget her face, i see it still I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel No chance for contact There's no raison d'etre My only hope is one day i'll forget The pain of knowing what can never be With or without love it's all the same to me I don't believe in love I never have, i never will I don't believe in love I'll just pretend she never was real I don't believe in love I need to forget her face, i see it still I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel |

All alone now Except for the memories Of what we had and what we knew Everytime i try to leave it behind me I see something that reminds me of you Every night the dreams return to haunt me Your rosary wrapped around your throat I lie awake and sweat, afraid to fall asleep I see your face looking back at me And i raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what Lies behind the stare Is this all that's left Of my life before me Straight jacket memories, sedative highs No happy ending like they've always promised There's got to be something left for me And i raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what Lies behind the stare [lies behind my stare] How many times must i live this tragedy How many more lies will they tell me All i want is the same as everyone Why am i here, and for how long And i raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what Lies behind the stare |

Every time I leave You say you won't be there. And you're always there. Every time I cry your name at night, you pull close and say it's alright. I look in your eyes, just like the rain. Washing me, rain wash over me. Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat echo in my head like a scream. What you do to me! Waited so long I can't wait another day without you. Jet City Woman. It's a long way, home to my Jet City Woman. I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind. Whenever I'm alone I'm thinking, there's a part missing from my life. Wonder where I'd be without your love holding me together now I'm watching the time tick, tick away. Face grows longer every day. Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen but without you I can't breathe! You're the air to me! Waited so long, I'm all alone thinking about you. Jet City Woman. Got to find my way home to her. Jet City Woman. I see her face everywhere I look! Jet City Woman. Just a thousand miles and I'll be there Jet City Woman, to make the clouds go away. Time for some blue sky! Waited so long now the plane's delayed and hour, reminds me of all our days apart. Hold on, just a little longer. Jet City Woman. Wonder where I'd be, you're the air to me. Jet City Woman. Eyes like the rain, rain down on me. Jet City Woman. No more nights alone I'm almost home now. Jet City Woman. Close my eyes, I'm there in my Jet City. |

Hush now, don't you cry Wipe away the teardrop from your eye You're lying safe in bed It was all a bad dream Spinning in your head Your mind tricked you to feel the pain Of someone close to you leaving the game of life So here it is, another chance Wide awake you face the day Your dream is over... or has it just begun? There's a place I like to hide A doorway that I run through in the night Relax child, you were there But only didn't realize it and you were scared It's a place where you will learn To face your fears, retrace the years And ride the whims of your mind Commanding in another world Suddenly you hear and see This magic new dimension I- will be watching over you I- am gonna help you see it through I- will protect you in the night I- am smiling next to you, in Silent Lucidity -spoken during solo- [Visualize your dream] [Record it in the present tense] [Put it into a permanent form] [If you persist in your efforts] [You can achieve dream control] [Dream control] [How's that then, better?] [Hug me] If you open your mind for me You won't rely on open eyes to see The walls you built within Come tumbling down, and a new world will begin Living twice at once you learn You're safe from the pain in the dream domain A soul set free to fly A round trip journey in your head Master of illusion, can you realize Your dream's alive, you can be the guide but... I- will be watching over you I- am gonna help to see it through I- will protect you in the night I- am smiling next to you.... |

Beating with life you promised life, security, happiness. Unfortunate son cornered, cowering in the pit of circling panes of glass that surround and reveal the ever present "It". "It" is my move, my every look, interpreting gestures, informing other what's undercover and lurking beneath my mask of this year's featured model. Is this too much? Close your eyes. Care to look inside? I am I! What may appear might easily be explained, but given the situation of info saturation, what you feel can never go away. Steering perception? I am! Inviting contradiction? I am! It's my insistence you keep your distance from the glare behind my stare. So this is the way the game is played. You can leave now... but I think you'll stay. I am I! |

You called me up on the phone today struggling with the right words to say. Time can change a thing or two. Time has changed the lives of me and you, but you know... it could have been different dad. The word brings back a sweet memory. I'm sitting on a bluff on a broken tree, by my side a distinguished man giving me encouragement, telling me I can, and you know... you're not there. You say, "Son, let's forget the past, I want another chance, gonna make it last." You're begging me for a brand new start, trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart, but you know... you never built it dad. So I sit here through the night, and I write myself to sleep, and time keeps ticking... Time has made you finally realize your loneliness and your guilt inside. You're reaching for something you never had, turning around now you're looking back, and you know... I'm not there. You say, "Son, let's forget the past. I want another chance, gonna make it last." You're begging me for a brand new start, trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart, but you know... you never built it dad. |

Heading for the classroom yesterday The kids file through the metal machine It finds what they may hide No it just ain't right... A sign of the times Another church is burning to the ground... Looking for the vandals and they're nowhere to be found But the hate's alive A sign of the times, Sign of the times... A sign of the times, Sign of the times... Would someone please let me know how we have spun out of control? Has the captain let go of the wheel? Or could we please try to find a way to be a bit more kind? I see the road to tomorrow in the haze! On the Senate floor they congregate Many pockets lined with green, From those behind the scenes, yeah they take the bribe ( it's on the side ) A sign of the times, Sign of the times... A sign of the times, Sign of the times... |

Shakin' time, she needs Taking rides...to somewhere Let's lose our minds, no hurry I'm the wakeful night, with dreams...or something Chasing blue sky, We're chasing blue sky Taking time from all this worry Mesmerized by the waves of your smile I wish that i could say something But you're the rose colored glass i see through I'll see you through Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky Chasing blue sky, we're chasing blue sky |

When I fell from grace I never realized how deep the flood was around me. A man whose life was toil was like a kettle left to boil, and the water left scars on me. I know now who I am. If only for a while, I recognize the changes. I feel like I did before the magic wore thin and the "baptism of stains" began. They used to say I was nowhere, man, heading down was my destiny. But yesterday, I swear, that was someone else not me. Here I stand at the crossroads edge, afraid to reach out for eternity, One step, when I look down, I see someone else not me. Looking back and I see someone else. All my life they said I was going down, but I'm still standing, stronger, proud. And today I know there's so much more I can be. From where I stand at the crossroads edge, there's a path leading out to sea. And from somewhere deep in my mind, sirens sing out loud songs of doubt as only they know how. But one glance back reminds, and I see, someone else not me. I keep looking back at someone else... me? |
