The night is growing dark
From somewhere deep within It shelters like an ark And always takes you in And the mind goes numb 'Till it's feeling no pain And the soul cries out For a handful of rain Wash your women In your whiskey When your future's In the past And you're staring Up at heaven From the bottom Of a glass And you need some insulation From the years you've Had and lost And you feel the perspiration As you're adding up the cost And the night rolls on Like a slow moving train And the soul cries out There's a land Beyond the living There's a land Beyond the dead If it's true that God's forgiving Of the lives that we have led In the distance There's a thunder And the air is thick and warm And the patrons Watch with wonder The approaching of the storm And the night rolls on Like a slow moving train And the soul cries out For a handful of rain |

Chance
by Savatage He was standing all alone Trying to find the words to say When every prayer he ever prayed was gone And the dreams he`s never owned Are still safely tucked away Until tomorrow he just carries on Carries on Carries on Carries on instrumental break See the devil on the streets at night See him running in the pouring rain See him grinning `neath a twisted light I`ll be back again See the people standing in a row See them nodding like a field of grain No one sees the sickle though Coming `cross the plain And this he knows, if nothing more That waiting in the dark like destiny Are those who kiss the dogs of war And there is no tomorrow, no tomorrow Take a chance Take a, take a chance yeah See the devil he is so intense See the devil go and change his name What`s the going price of innocence It can`t be the same Is it dark when the moon is down Is it dark with a single flame If there`s glass falling all around I am not to blame And this he knows, if nothing more That waiting in the dark like destiny Are those who kiss the dogs of war And there is no tomorrow, no tomorrow Take a chance Take a, take a chance yeah Take a chance Take a, take a chance oh yeah instrumental break Burn the night away Burn the night away Burn the night instrumental break Pictures at an exhibition Played as he stood In his trance Staring at his inhibitions All the time believing That it now came down to nothing but this chance Chance Chance Chance I fear you Your silence Your blindness See what you want to see In darkness One kindness One moment Tell me what you believe I believe in nothing Never really had to In regards to your life Rumors that are not true Who`s defending evil Surely never I Who would be the witness Should you chance to die Father can you hear me This is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other`s destiny Father can U hear me this is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other`s destiny Father can U hear me this is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other`s destiny Father can U hear me this is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other`s destiny Look away Look away~~ Pictures at an exhibition Played as he stood In his trace Staring at his inhabitions All the time believing That it now came down to Nothing but this chance~~ CHANCE!! |

He never closed his eyes
Or so we theorized But we were young and bold And he was mostly old And his time nearly done He came back from a war On some forgotten shore And sat and watched The world And never said a word And so I asked for one Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun He fought for things so clear And never thought he'd fear A brother or his child Or killing having style Watch the colors run Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become, oh yeah Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun And now he only hears And his eyes they only tear So tread most carefully For he's still listening Watch the colors run Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become, oh yeah yeah Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun |

In the dark and bleeding
With the shadows seething There he stands alone Fools and faith conspire Questions of desire That they never owned Kings without their armor Men without their honor Spit out desecration Pieces of a nation Buried in the ground Screams without a sound Burn the castle down In the end the children cried That the jackal surely lied When he said please listen all Do not look behind these walls Coffins drowned in roses And the war he chose is Fought inside the mind Death becomes compelling When the soul's for selling And the world is blind In the maze he wanders Looks about and ponders shadows mock and taunt him And the ghosts that haunt him Chain him to the ground Screams without a sound Burn the castle down In the end the children cried That the jackal surely lied When he said please listen all Do not look behind these walls And does the pendulum toll Against the side of the soul When he feels the final moment is near Do you rage 'gainst the dark Try to re-write the part Turn around and face what you fear What you fear He's seen it all before Close your eyes and close the door And the dreams that nights embrace Slowly leave without a trace |

There in the dark
There's a child and she's waiting Lost in the maze of a fait accompli Is it a crime to be just hesitating While we're pretending that we never see On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here watching you Watching you fall Is there a trick to the art of not feeling Safe in our world while another's child bleeds Praying that God won't demand a redealing Of cards we have held and pretend you don't need Don't need On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here Watching you Watching you fall Better not think about it Anytime we'll start to doubt it Christ has risen Keep him hidden God forbid he sees It's not that we lack the vision Only just a quick decision Who will blame us, rules restrain us It's all in history So close my eyes and pretend I am sleeping Avoiding the chance that you'll visit my dreams On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here Watching you, watching you Watching you, watching you Watching you, watching you fall Yeah yeah |

Cheshire cat
Done rip you soul Don't turn your back Don't turn your back Car rolls by Move real slow Fade it to black Fade it to black But nothing's going on Nothing's going on Twisted nerves On shifting feet Taking up slack Taking up slack Gone too far Can't retreat Cover your tracks Cover your tracks Nothing's going on She's no queen of hearts But she's good to me Bring her coffin roses Brush her thorns and Let it bleed Just a hardcore dancer Puppet on a string One crippled romancer Strung so tight Gotta watch her swing Nothing's going on |

So would you tell me now
Are life and death a symmetry Balanced on scales, either side chosen And could these moments balance out against eternity Promise inferred, words never spoken My life is burning Could you read by the light Letters I've written, never to follow Poets and madmen all defy reason Still in my mind I know I want to live my life with you Dying hard Play the whole hand 'til it's through Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard And in your arctic night You contemplate eternity Walking on water Frozen in silence And in that moment would you Turn around and turn to me Laughing away night's darker tyrants My life is burning Could you read by the light Letters I've written, never to follow Poets and madmen all defy reason Still in my mind I know I want to live my life with you Dying hard Play the whole hand 'til it's through Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard Some nights I spend alone inside my head But it's better than losing it And if you want to turn it all around It's your life you're choosing it I want to live my life with you Dying hard Play the whole hand 'til it's through Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard |

Alone You Breathe
(Criss's Song) You were never one for waiting Still I always thought You'd wait for me Have you from you dream awakened And from where you are What do you see Which of us is now in exile Which in need of amnesty Are you now but an illusion In my mind alone you breathe You believed in things That I will never know You were out there drowning But it never showed Till inside a rain swept night You just let go You've thrown it all away And now we'll never see The ending to the play The grand design, The final line And what was meant to be In the dark a distant runner Now Has disappeared into the night Leaving us to stand and wonder Staring from his end into your life You believed in things That I will never know You were out there drowning But it never showed Till inside a rain swept night You just let go You've thrown it all away And now we'll never see The ending to the play The grand design, The final line And what was meant to be And if this is all illusion Nothing more than pure delusion Clinging to a fading fantasy Like Icarus who heeds the calling of a sun but now is falling as the feathers of his life fall free Can you see See Tomorrow and after You tell me what am I to do I stand here, believing That in the dark there is the clue Perhaps inside this midnight sky Perhaps tomorrow's new born eyes I Could it be, we'll never know And after all this was the show What am I to do Gotta get back Gotta get back Gotta get back What am I to do Gotta get back Gotta get back Gotta get back What am I to do Standing on a dream isn't what it seems could we then reclaim a dream refused Knowing what we know could we let it go realizing that all the years are used Tomorrow and after You tell me what am I to do I stand here, believing That in the dark there is the clue I am the way, I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Tomorrow and after You tell me what am I to do I stand here, believing That in the dark there is the clue |
