She always brings me what i need
Without i beg and sweat and bleed When we're alone at night Waiting for the call She feeds my skin Sixteen and on the run from home Found a job in times square Working live s&m shows Twenty-five bucks [a fuck] And john's a happy man She wipes the filth away And it's back on the streets again Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see Father william saved her from the streets She drank the lifeblood from the saviour's feet She's sister mary now, eyes as cold as ice He takes her once a week On the alter like a sacrifice Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see Religion and sex are powerplays Manipulate the people for the money they pay Selling skin, selling god The numbers look the same on their credit cards Politicians say no to drugs While we pay for wars in south america [saudi arabia, on tour] Fighting fire with empty words While the banks get fat And the poor stay poor And the rich get rich And the cops get paid To look away As the one percent rules america Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see The way society Keeps spreading the disease |

Bless me father for I have sinned
In the wooden chair beside my window I wear a face born in the falling rain I talk to shadows from a lonely candle Recite the phrases from the wall I can't explain this holy pain Six days ago my life had taken a tumble The orders came from high above they say A need to use me once again, they've got my number Further the cause, boy, yes, you know the game I'll wait here for days longer 'Til the sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady that can ease my sorrow She brings the only friend that helps me find my way I search the past back to a time when I was younger A target for the new society Picked to displace the leaders Countering objectives of this new underground reality Waiting for days longer 'Til sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady that can ease my sorrow My love for her will help me find my way (They'll say) My mission saved the world I stood proud My mission changed the world It turned my life around I look around, my room is filled with candles Each one a story but they end the same I'll hide away in here the law will never find me The walls will tell the story of my pain Waiting for days longer 'Til sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady who can ease my sorrow She sets the pace for my delivery of pain (They'll say) My mission saved the world And I stood proud My mission changed the world The underground (They'll say) Will rise and save this world We'll all stand proud Our mission changed the world, we'll change the world We'll all stand proud |

I've had enough and I want out!
"You can't walk away now." I looked back once And all I saw was his face Smiling, the needle crying Walking out of his room With mirrors, afraid I heard him scream You'll never get away Cold and shaking I crawled down alleys to try And scrape away the tracks that marked me Slammed my face into walls of concrete I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name Wet and raving The needle keeps calling me back To bloody my hands forever Carved my cure with the blade That left me in scars Now every time I'm weak Words scream from my arm Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name |

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 |

Another hungry look in her eyes again
Pacing the floor the hunt begins Skin tight leather provides my pleasure Wake my fear, surge with the pressure Walk away and leave forever, do I dare? Raise my eyes, she stands Holding out healing hands Are you happy now? I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line one more time for you Addictive face pretending, don't speak the word Forbidden sin relenting, I barely heard Screams of entry blur my vision Wake my fear of divine intervention Crawl away and bleed forever, if you dare Hand on mouth the game goes on Love, our stage to play upon Are you happy now? I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line one more time for you I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line one more time for you |

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. |

Back in '86 February and a special number I just had to know, is this feeling real? I picked up the phone I was one step closer to the danger zone I knew she'd steal my heart away But I know I couldn't live without her love The first time she looked at me Her smile stayed on my mind I never thought I'd ever meet A woman of her kind Now I'm lost in a lover's daze And I'm not walking out Gonna give my heart away And hope that she will always stay Call for me, run to me Whenever you are lonely Call for me, run to me my lady love Won't you come and show me that precious smile And maybe stay for a little while Close the door, Toss the key Say you will always be my one and only Looking back it seems to me The message in her eyes Left a lasting spell on me A feeling I can't hide Now I'm lost in a lover's daze And I'm not walking out Gonna give my heart away And hope she will always stay Call for me, run to me Whenever you are lonely Call for me, run to me my lady love Won't you come and show me that precious smile And maybe stay for a little while Treat me to your sense of taste and style Together we can walk the miles Close the door, toss the key Say that you will always be my one and only |

Today is just the same as any other day to me.
Walking wall to wall to pass the time, I picture what it’s like on the other side. Because I’m here on the inside of blue, without you. Day in day out on and on ... I’m missing you. Nothing seems to work as well, my face in the mirror looks like hell. I think I need to see a doctor. I watch the slow hand move line by line. I can’t even think of the words that rhyme. Day in day out on and on ... I’m missing you. Some days it feels, just like falling down. Some days it’s easy, just like falling down. Some days it’s real, just like falling down. Some days it’s easy, just like falling down. Day in day out on and on ... I’m missing you |

One life, is like one prayer, one love to share.
One thought, one dream. One world, one meaning. A man that’s lost everything holds his faith in his heart. Speaks to god of broken dreams, never wondering why when nothing’s heard ... one prayer. A woman cries in frustration, her man holds it inside. They forgot what got them here, the vows they promised to stand by ... one love. One life is like one prayer, one love to share. One thought, one dream. One world, one meaning. It don’t cost much for you to get to heaven, you just got to say your prayers. If you want to stand with your saviors, you better learn how to bow your head. Now bend your knees and bruise the earth and pray. Heed the cries of the war child. Mothers hold them to their breasts. Fathers fight an enemy and fear breeds unto itself ... one world. One life, is like one prayer, one love to share. One thought, one dream. One world, one meaning. One life ... One |

You've come to me again my friend. I've been waiting so
long. Life seems strange and hard sometimes, maybe I won't make it this time. Oh They've taken all I have, but I just need what's left of today, and you can wash it all away. When it all comes down and I'm feeling tired and afraid, you're always there, and seem come when I've nothing left to give away. Now I wait for your winds to come and give me breath for another day, and your rain to wash me. I feel the rain coming. I feel it in my heart, take away my pain. I feel the rain coming. Wash me down, wash me down. Here comes the rain. Hold me now, just for awhile. I feel like a candle flame in the wind. The dust of my deeds past, covers me, like a fading lie. I feel the rain coming. I feel it in my heart, wash away my pain. Wash me down, wash me down. I feel the rain coming. Here comes the rain. |

There you were like a ghost from my early days, staring straight ahead at me.
How could I ever guess, from that moment on, just how everything would change. How could I know? I recall something strange coming over me, somewhat at a loss for words. I’d been around and had my share of what I thought my soul could bare, but never seen what I saw in your eyes. How could I know? We never took it slow. We gave it all we had and more. How could I know? We never took it slow. We gave it all we had and more. Looking back at where we’ve been, the road ahead is so uncertain. We keep passing open windows forever. I’ve tried before I’ll try again, I never know where were going. I only know that I’ll be yours forever ... yours forever ... forever ... forever. How could I know? We never took it slow. We gave it all we had. We gave it all we had. |

*** Take your children down to the water wash their heads and sing .. holy holy
Last night I dreamed you were standing there, strong and tall beside me. All my life ... behind me. You gently took me by my hand and led me to where I couldn’t see,but where I’ve always been ... an island. In my dreams I’ve been an island ... where I’m all alone, and I’ve built these walls stone by stone. I want to leave but I don’t know where to go. I’ve tried the best I can, but it’s hard to be a man and feel the way you feel. I’m different on the inside. I’ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through. I’ll always be ... beside you. The day you were born I held you ... small and helpless crying, your life and mine entwining. As I looked into your eyes I saw myself in an overview, reaching out to you from this island in the sea. I don’t want to be an island. I’ve tried the best I can, but it’s hard to be a man and feel the way you feel. I’m different on the inside. I’ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through. I’ll always be ... beside you. |

When the whirlwind of noise surrounds and get intense,
and when words can’t hide their anger or intent. I feel it in my bones and in my head, can’t make sense of what is said. Ready for the take down, headed for a breakdown. Fear has me backed against these walls that I follow and pace. Time moves in and out of phase of everything that I face. I feel it in my bones they rattle and shake, can’t find a trace of what it takes to stop this take down. Can’t stop this breakdown! Welcome to my scene. A place that’s in-between where squares fit the round. Some affectionately call it ... my breakdown.... When I feel the pressure mounting and my hands begin to clutch, I reach my limit of pain and I’ve had enough. It feels good to pound on tables and chairs and feel the frenzy start to wear. Breakdown this take down, gotta stop this breakdown. Welcome to my scene. A place that’s in-between where squares fit the round. It’ll never be, never be more than this. Never. |

Hey, are you okay? Better luck on another day. This path

If you take time and look for clues ...scrape the shit off your shoes, you'll feel the real today. I'd love to take you to see what I see there, on the right side of my mind. On the right side, on the right side ... of my mind. Hey, one more thing, these things are hard to explain. For some, it seems strange to swallow. The frontier of our minds is the last place we find, but maybe the first place we should go. I'd love to take you to see what I see there... on the right side of my mind. |

Desert Dance - Queensryche
Lying here awake again. Minutes before dawn I hear your breathing, your heart beat like a song. Lately I’ve been feeling a little less then good but seeing things for the first time like I never could. I’ve had my head down against the door, trying to get to something I couldn’t find before. That special something, that feeds my soul, is a rhythm to live by, it’s a rhythm of hope. Something drives us onwards. Something gives us strength. What makes our judgment falter is the questions we think. Who am I to fly so high? What gives me the right to dream of what could be, keep reaching for the light? I’ve been standing in front of that door, basing my happiness on what’ I knew before. Searching for something that moves my soul. A rhythm to hold to, a rhythm to live to. Have you been down like this before? I guarantee there’s something waiting for you just open that door. A rhythm to live by, that moves your soul. A rhythm that holds you. A rhythm to live to. And if there’s one thing we all need now, it’s a rhythm to live by, a rhythm of hope. Lying here awake again. |

Tribe by Queensryche
Taken to a place underground, a cavern, ten thousand steps down. The only light was fire fly glow, reflecting in the blue crystal show. Feeling in the darkness surrounding me, roots of giant Sequoia trees anchor the canopy of life that's above. The answer to the mystery of life is _ Traveled through the jungles of the Yucatan and drank the potion from the magic man. Held the starlight inches from my face, pushed the door open, # 7. I walked the path way to heaven. Saw the same face of God. Seems every where I go I see the same face, I feel the same flow. With every one I meet and every hand I shake, I'm every man, trying my best to get to know because everything's at stake. We're the same tribe............... Passing through Morocco for the faithful is a trip. Hallucinating visions drives my desert ship. For a thousand miles we could not fail, can't enjoy if you can't inhale. Clearly a lifetimes need of some experience and for the record, peace. Seems every where I go I see the same face, I feel the same flow. With every one I meet and every hand I shake, I see myself in every man, trying my best to get to know because everything's at stake. We're the same tribe............. |

Yes it's us dying. Maybe it won't be long, now that it's all gone on...... It's all gone wrong and there's blood on our hands. It's all gone wrong and there's blood ... It's all gone wrong and there's blood on our hands. It's all gone wrong and there's blood ...on our hands. We saw them lying there with their arms around each other, staring through their fear and the miles between our heads. You could have told the truth. It was your decision to sacrifice integrity and compassion for greed. Now it's all gone wrong and there's blood on our hands it's all gone wrong and there's blood ...

Doing Fine - Queensryche
Have you noticed The way people seem today? Look in their eyes, you can feel their uncertainty. Working hard for what they fear others would think. Empty hearts are afraid to break away…don’t be afraid. We could all use a little sunshine Take the day off …outside. Hey look around, everything’s better now And here we are and we’re doin’ fine. If we look inside, breath deep, and count to ten. We’ll find what we need to see us through All the way to the end. We’ll know all the answers Once we stop this judgment game And realize deep down we’re all the same. We could all use a little sunshine Take the day off and smile. Hey look around everything’s better now, And here we are and getting along fine. Yeah, we’re doin’ just fine. We could all use some sunshine Take the day off and smile. Hey look around, everything’s better And here we are getting along just fine. Next time we could try a little harder And quickly put out the fire, By working out our differences and Finding truth we can all believe in. We’re looking at life from a different side. We’re looking at like from a different side. And I know that we’ll all be fine. And I know that we’ll all be fine. |

Without i beg and sweat and bleed When we're alone at night Waiting for the call She feeds my skin Sixteen and on the run from home Found a job in times square Working live s&m shows Twenty-five bucks [a fuck] And john's a happy man She wipes the filth away And it's back on the streets again Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see Father william saved her from the streets She drank the lifeblood from the saviour's feet She's sister mary now, eyes as cold as ice He takes her once a week On the alter like a sacrifice Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see Religion and sex are powerplays Manipulate the people for the money they pay Selling skin, selling god The numbers look the same on their credit cards Politicians say no to drugs While we pay for wars in south america [saudi arabia, on tour] Fighting fire with empty words While the banks get fat And the poor stay poor And the rich get rich And the cops get paid To look away As the one percent rules america Spreading the disease Everybody needs But no one wants to see The way society Keeps spreading the disease |

Bless me father for I have sinned
In the wooden chair beside my window I wear a face born in the falling rain I talk to shadows from a lonely candle Recite the phrases from the wall I can't explain this holy pain Six days ago my life had taken a tumble The orders came from high above they say A need to use me once again, they've got my number Further the cause, boy, yes, you know the game I'll wait here for days longer 'Til the sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady that can ease my sorrow She brings the only friend that helps me find my way I search the past back to a time when I was younger A target for the new society Picked to displace the leaders Countering objectives of this new underground reality Waiting for days longer 'Til sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady that can ease my sorrow My love for her will help me find my way (They'll say) My mission saved the world I stood proud My mission changed the world It turned my life around I look around, my room is filled with candles Each one a story but they end the same I'll hide away in here the law will never find me The walls will tell the story of my pain Waiting for days longer 'Til sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady who can ease my sorrow She sets the pace for my delivery of pain (They'll say) My mission saved the world And I stood proud My mission changed the world The underground (They'll say) Will rise and save this world We'll all stand proud Our mission changed the world, we'll change the world We'll all stand proud |

I've had enough and I want out!
"You can't walk away now." I looked back once And all I saw was his face Smiling, the needle crying Walking out of his room With mirrors, afraid I heard him scream You'll never get away Cold and shaking I crawled down alleys to try And scrape away the tracks that marked me Slammed my face into walls of concrete I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name Wet and raving The needle keeps calling me back To bloody my hands forever Carved my cure with the blade That left me in scars Now every time I'm weak Words scream from my arm Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name |

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 |

Cries from the aisles
the tolling of the judgement bell Eyes watched the violence the absence of those who have seen, marks the faith of the spell Cold is the viper stalking the night for the heat It must find Time is the promise delivered with stunning consistency line after line, time after time the innocent victim awaits... Please take my hand Don't be afraid I am your master You are my slave Voices are calling me back Back to the day Footsteps had followed Me faster... listen Screams from a new love the passion was burning, it singed in a stare Free under the night sun The fear of the hunger will always be there in my mind Time after time the morning will close a new page Please take my hand Don't be afraid I am your master You are my slave Follow the impulse you have I'll show you the way Forget what you've learned in the past now Listen and... |

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 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 |

Ive got no fear cause Ive weathered the breakdown, San Quentin to the edge of the Big Town. Im a man of the people, in the home of the brave, and Im no mans slave. Because Im free, I deserve everything I can get. Im American. Im American. If you voted for the man youre wasting time. Hes got his fingers dipped in everyones pie. The news cant wait to promote all the bullshit this government is selling. Ive got this plan in motion, countdown. Assassinate, terminate, smack down. Theres a war in my head and it needs to be said. If they think they can take me theyre dead. Because Im free, I deserve everything I can get. And Ill get everything I can get. Im American. Im American. What do you believe in? What are you living for? Do you want what theyre selling you, another television war? I cant stop! I feel I gotta have more! Thats right, more! I want more! More!

Back streets . . . oh hell,
back where I started from theres not a thing . . . but you. When they took you, when they took you from me and left you bleeding on that concrete floor. One mans obsession is another mans trash, and Mary was more than a whore. And every day I breathe I remember more. Ive become something you wouldnt believe! Ive got this number burned in my brain, a walking nightmare, only slightly insane. They tried to take my fight, almost took my life. They took my truth from me. But when they left me, they didnt know me, cause Im like a lion thats about to roar. Mistakes you make, you take to your grave. And now Im gonna even the score. And every day I live I remember more. I aint got nothing to sell, but its time to pay attention, Im back with one foot in hell. Im back. Theres nothing left but memories here of something that I didnt begin with. You wanted to believe in something until the end. Yeah Im like a ghost back from the dead. I need revenge. Gonna have his head. Im gonna finish this and X marks the spot. Im gonna find him give him all that I got. And every day I breathe I remember more. I aint coming at you with something to sell, but you better believe, Im back with one foot in hell. Im back. |

Culture hostage.
Im writhing in the cold grasp of justice, as she turns away. Blind is she supposed to be but, someone took a razor to her mask. Rusted now the scales you hold, the balance tipped by the weight of gold. When will it end? When will it ever end? The judgment man holds my fate, as I beg forgiveness with the plastic smile of a candidate. They take for granted that Im out of my mind and theyre wasting their time to care. So all my reasons are damned before theyre heard. Im held hostage by their words. What will lead us to tolerance if we dont question our prejudice? Courage is such a lonely word, patience, in time these truths will be known. Please, dont keep looking away. You see fortunes are on line, reputations at risk, and theres fear in the hearts of all of you that believe that youre right, and thats your right. But are you . . . right? The judgment man holds my fate, as I gaze around the room, their eyes are like knives, could decapitate. They take for granted that Im out of my mind and Im wasting their time, dont show, dont show me my fate. Reasons are damned, cant understand. If I fall to pieces theyll know . . . hes out of his mind and hes wasting our time, we know. As I sense my fate . . . His reasons be damned, cant understand him. . . . and now all my reasons are damned before theyre heard. Im held hostage by their words. Im a hostage. |

When I'm lost...I find a way.
I hear voices. Feel them surround me, pull me from the edge. I close my eyes and.... And my luck keeps holding strong, even when that boot comes down. Waiting for the revolution but there's no one around except the ...hands out of nowhere, saving me again There's always something there watching out for me, if I'm suffocating, it gives me air. Finally now I remember, but where I'm going now, I'm not sure. Only one thing matters much to me anymore. I'm looking for you. Can you imagine? You can't think. You won't find a way this time to frighten me. You're running scared now, always looking over your shoulder for a place where you don't see my face. When my luck keeps holding so strong, even with the state I'm in. I'm like a revolution of one, even when I stumble I win. Because there's hands out of nowhere, saving me again. There's always something there, watching out for me. When I'm suffocating, it gives me air. I'm like a cat with only a few lives left, running from the shadows. Watching my back waiting for the attack that I know is coming...I feel it's near. |

There it was, gone in the blink of an eye. See how much life is left staring back in my face? But I know it now as clear as, clear as a window. Never thought this day would come, I never thought Id see. half my life is gone. Thought Id never live to see . . . Never thought this day would come . . . I never thought Id see half my life is gone Thought Id never live to be . . . much of anything. Everything moves faster now. Were living at the speed of light. I stand here fascinated, watching as it all goes by. Maybe I should live whats left . . . like it was my last. Never thought this day would come . . . I never thought Id see half my life is gone. Id never live to see . . . Never thought this day would come . . . I never thought Id see half my life is gone Id never live to be . . . much of anything. Everything moves faster now. Where are you now? Feeling small. Cant live without it? You call this your best? I made my life a mess. And everyone but you sees it. What a fool. What are you gonna do, make more excuses?

Imagine if you will, what it means . . .
this worthless life. Tried my best to the scratch the surface got bloody broken fingernails. Convincing stories of achievement, lies. All expectations smashed, never could comply. Generations come and go. And what will I be, the failure they see here? Now, I cant remember! All the signs say go! Would I surrender? To try to save your soul? I cant remember! All the signs say go! Ill never surrender! Time for heads to roll! Do you think Ive got to have one good reason? The question stands, how does he keep getting into my head? I know Ill never see. Ive got to get free. No matter whats said, Id rather see him dead! You might be wondering why . . . I cant take any more? I cant take any more. Ill tear him down! Im gonna tear him down! Ive been called so many things Now what do you see? A failure dares to dream? Now, I cant remember! All the signs say go! Would I surrender? To try to save your soul? I cant remember! All the signs say go! Ill never surrender! I cant remember! All the signs say go! Would I surrender? To try to save your soul? I cant remember! All the signs say go! Convince me, mesmerize me Feed me more lies. Ill get stronger! How do you get him out, out of your head? I know Ill never see. Ive got to get free. No matter whats said, I swear Ill see him dead! I cant remember! All the signs say go! Would I surrender? To try to save your soul? I cant remember! All the signs say go! Ill never surrender! Its time for heads to roll! I cant remember!

Last time, missed my chance but never again.
The further away you slip, the more Ill dig in. All things come around again and this time Ill be ready and waiting. You cant imagine dedication that I now possess. Theres no one left to save you. Where you run I will follow. Ill step by step re-arrange you. Theres nowhere to hide. Youll never see me coming but youll feel the fear from my shadow. With intensity, yeah, youll bleed. Before its over youll age ten years older. Time flows like a river . . . deep. Im going to take you down. Theres no one left to save you. Where you run I will follow. Ill step by step re-arrange you. Theres nowhere to hide. They say let the world change you and you can change the world. Theyll bit by bit re-arrange you. I cant change the world. Its taken me years to get to this place. I found you hiding inside a persona you built from my pain. Fortune has finally come and vengeance is mine Ive won. Ill take the world now by storm. Do I let the world change me? Do I lead or follow? Theyll step by step re-arrange me. Let them all try! If I let the world change me, step by step re-arrange me. If I focus on tomorrow, maybe I could change the world! |

You think youre smart, inventive
because youve figured out my game? Pride is a handy substitute, when youve got only yourself to blame. All my dreams Ive realized while you . . . were indisposed. While youve spent eighteen years watching TV, Ive watched my fortune grow. Here I amIm finally on the outside and Youre nowhere near where Ive been! Ive got you where I want you . . . at last. Youve got no idea who I am! We circle around each other waiting for reaction We circle around each other waiting for reaction wanting satisfaction for the past. I want nothing . . . from the past. Always been so easy youre like a puppet on my string, throwing down hollow threats, unsure of what to think. Why should I care? You wouldnt dare! Youre nothing but worthless . . . I swear. From where I stand Ive got you where I want you. Youll never take me! Never take me down! Ive seen all I need to put you in the ground Revenge is normal, a typical reaction Ive seen your cynical reaction . . . if youre standing outside of in. always on the outside of in. Here we are at last facing oblivion . . . And this is where finally it ends. You dont belong here. holding fast to each of our sins. With hope by my side, Ill survive to see the dawn. Believe me or not . . . you owe me. I owe you nothing! I gave your life a purpose! I owe you nothing but your death! Without me you would have learned nothing! |

She said, Baby, where you been?
Whyd you have to leave me? Im on the other side . . . just looking in. Ive been so high; I climbed to the mountaintop, looked at myself and . . . Id tell you anything you want to hear. And Id desert you when Im through. Id say anything because true love dont mean a thing to a man, whos not a man, but a fool. Look at me! Youre a model of efficiency. Im always doing what he tells me. How can you change it now? Im always looking for it down deep inside, I thought that this would change my life. Have you found out? I remember more . . . Can you change? I can change. For years he must have cried a river of tears. In his dreams he saw himself . . . a dying man drawing figures, arrows in the sand. Mmm, I dont think he understands. Never thought that it would last forever. One glance back . . . theres nothing much to say. He watched as it all began spinning further and further from the truth. And nothing really matters, when your heart doesnt lead the way. |

as everything falls away. I feel old like the cold wind blowing outside today. Got my finger on the trigger and no one cares. When they find me face down in the river will they just leave me there? Hang on, dont let go! Just hang on! Dont let go! Come on, come on gotta take a ride, Fear City slide. Last chance @ suicide. Come on, come on leave your head outside, youve built a lie. Last chance @ suicide. Come on, come on lets take a ride! Last chance @ suicide. Will anyone remember? Will they learn from my mistakes? Sometimes it takes a lifetime of pain to change. Im closing on the edge here and youve heard it all before . . . but what good did any of my life bring? What was it really for? Hang on dont let go! Just hang on and dont let go!

Is there some other way out of here?
Somewhere I could find myself? Cant sleep enough, cant stay high. All the promises . . . just another lie. Ive always been afraid except . . . in the moments that I loved you. The only time I felt strong was when you stood next to me. I could make a stand if . . . I could hold your hand again . . . The road Ive traveled is the hard way down, always playing another mans fool. They offered a way inside with the promise of forgiveness. Its a lie. Could you forgive what Ive done? We had it all, but couldnt see anything. The blind leading the blind through the darkest night. When you said you loved me it made me feel alive. When you said you loved me it made me feel . . . like I could fly. Ive always lived afraid except . . . in the moments that I loved you. The only time I felt strong was when you stood next to me. I could make a stand if . . . I could hold your hand again. We had it all, but couldnt see anything. The blind leading the blind through the darkest of nights. When you said you loved me it made me feel alive. When you said you loved me it made me feel . . . like I could fly. Ive always been afraid except in the moments that I loved you.

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. |

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 |

Cries from the aisles
the tolling of the judgement bell Eyes watched the violence the absence of those who have seen, marks the faith of the spell Cold is the viper stalking the night for the heat It must find Time is the promise delivered with stunning consistency line after line, time after time the innocent victim awaits Voices are calling me back Back to the day Footsteps had followed Me faster listen - 간 주 중 - Screams from a new love the passion was burning, it singed in a stare Free under the night sun The fear of the hunger Will always be there in my mind Time after time the morning Will close a new page Voices are calling me back Back to the day Footsteps had followed Me faster - 간 주 중 - Voices are calling me back Back to the day Footsteps had followed Me faster listen Follow the impulse you have I'll show you the way Forget what you've learned in the past now Listen |

I like to look at shadows sweating on the wall
I get excited when I hear footsteps in the hall - 간 주 중 - Outside your balcony I have a room with a view And I'm watching you I dial your telephone each and every afternoon I wait by your door till you're asleep at night And when you're alone I know when you Turn out the light I'm gonna get close to you Oh-Oh so close to you I'm gonna get close to you I'm gonna get close You fumble for your keys I'm six or seven steps behind you I'm so close to you Are you terrified of me? What do I know about you How did I find out? You think I'm a fool or maybe some kind of lunatic Say I'm wasting my time but I know what to do with it It's as plain as black and white I'm gonna get close to you Oh-Oh so close to you I'm gonna get close to you Oh so close If you knew my infinite charm There'd be no reason to be so alarmed Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm right Maybe I'm some kind of lunatic You say I'm wasting all of my time But I know what to do with it It is plain as black and white I'm gonna get close to you Oh-Oh so close to you I'm gonna get close to you - 간 주 중 - I'm gonna get close to you Oh-Oh so close to you I'm like a hungry Criminal and your protection is minimal So minimal |

Wait for me I'll understand I just need time to comprehend your changes There's always been these changes in you I remember that there was a time when Fears we had we left behind and we danced But it seems the more we learn We learn that it's Over, Over It's dangerous this game we play You're killing me with words Forget if you can The way you moved when our hands touched You forced me to force you Do you remember the dreams, the nightmares we shared? The poison of love so pure it's deceiving And deceit is all we have it's got to be over Over, Over It's dangerous this game we play You're killing me with words Over, Over Too late to take a chance again it's over |

It's lonely in the field
that we send our fighters to wander They leave with minds of steel It's their training solution We've programmed the way It leads us to order There's no turning back A Surgical Strike We've taught them not to feel performance is their task A Surgical Strike Its time is arriving now for you The plan for the day will be swift as the lightning they harness The atom display is not mindless illusion At master control, assessment will not Be by humans-There's no turning back A Surgical Strike We've taught them not to feel performance is their task A Surgical Strike Its time is arriving now for you - 간 주 중 - A Surgical Strike We've taught them not to feel performance is their task A Surgical Strike Its time is arriving now for you A Surgical Strike We've taught them not to feel performance is their task A Surgical Strike Its time is arriving now for you |

Reach for a new horizon
Setting sights on a circuit scream Hail the new arrival on Static signs from a distant wanderer Fill the air nights are never seen Face the electric time shock now No it's not a dream anymore I will light the way for us to find Order of a new kind Join us on the stay the road is mine Poets line in a rhyme of silence Gathered from the winter air Warms the children's eyes they see The time is near for the signs I can hear the chimes Ringing for you for me I can see your eyes Your hands joining with me I can feel its time Come together hold the light Keep the flame we can't let this world remain the same I can hear the chimes Ringing for you for me I can see your eyes Your hands joining with me I can feel it's time It's time for the world to hear Neue Regel is here |

It was November 4th
I last held your hand It seemed our time would last forever You said don't ever leave I thought you'd never go I wish I could just remember your name... You're just a memory now Like all the ones before But with your pain I've had to suffer Your eyes alight with flame As the picture burns I hear the screams from long ago They cry remember, blood-red streaks on velvet throats at night The streetlights fanned our trail of fame London London through The memories will never leave me London London All I see is you London London The cries in the night Keep bringing me to London London Calling out to me - 간 주 중 - Oh there's some things in life I could never face The worst is being alone Sometimes I wish I could have taken your place my love You know I don't want to live forever Oh let me see you standing in the shadows once again We'll walk the streets like long ago in London London The fire in your eyes will be bringing me to London London All I need is you The cries in the night keep ringing on in London London London London Calling out to me London London The memories will never leave me London London All I see is you London London The cries in the night Keep bringing me to London London Calling out to you |

I am the beat of your pulse
The computer word made flesh We are one you and I We are versions of the same When you can see what I feel Don't turn your back on me Or you might find that your dreams Are only program cards Your mind is open for me Open for intake of all propaganda Your Eyes see now what to see My eyes see only the programs you give me I'll teach you to laugh and to cry They're really the same you'll see All of the why's in your life Are under my control Feed me more lines I will try to tell you all I can Before the light you must know what lies Behind my screams I can't tell you all I know Am I the son that you've always been wanting There's more to me than what shows Are you my father The one that was promised Hush now, I'll give all you need to know and pre-live your dreams for you You're a good boy Freedom belongs only to those Without video screens For eyes and mouth You have no voice To be heard my son No one can hear when you'reScreaming in Digital I'm not your slave You can't control my emotions No Father, please let me keep learning Can't you see I'm human Can't you tell I'm not your slave Oh Father no Please don't keep me from dreaming Oh can't someone hear |

There's a cold wind out tonight
The chill of distant eyes An orbit survey finds...your mind I will remember You will remember The star that came tonight... - 간 주 중 - There's a thought that fills your mind A vision of a time When knowledge was confined And then we wonder how machines Can steal each others' dreams From points that are unseen...it's real I will remember You will remember The star that came tonight - 반 주 중 - Oh can't you see the light Of the knowing star - 반 주 중 - When you gaze at the evening sky And you're reaching out with your mind You might see the nation's eyes Don't hide...it's you I will remember You will remember The star that came tonight I will remember You will remember The star that came tonight |

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! Warning! 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! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning!

Light tracers follow me farther
Into the depths of unknown The blackness surrounding the border of hope We're alone We plead for the signs of a second chance In hopes it will stifle the fear The dying remains of a world gone insane We are near the end A course that will lead us through darkness Prepared by our leaders insist We mustn't all pray to the shadow of The iron fist We enter the void with our eyes straight ahead The force all around us we feel The twisted contusions of hatred will finally reveal Enforcer Master of nations revealed Enforcer The beams from his soul you will feel Slicing and tearing our way to the gate A towering fortress of blackened steel Desolate plains holding dying remains Heed the call of the master we'll soar to The edges of time Light tracers follow me farther Into the depths of unknown The blackness surrounding the borders of hope We're alone We plead for the signs, give us a second chance In hopes it will stifle the fear The battered remains of world gone insane We are near Enforcer Master of nations revealed Enforcer The beams from his soul you will feel Enforcer Master of nations revealed Enforcer The beams from his soul you will feel Once long ago we had to hide In the shadows of the land To keep us away from the crawl Enforcer's taking hold of us |

Ride swift across the plain
Don't you turn back, keep heed in your flame Kings with no mercy, this planet at war Torn from enchantment, this land forevermore Born from obsession, you cried death for light You saw things before and after you died Back from beyond to rule again But this life denies you its fight to the end Back from the dawn Deliver us right from wrong Kings forge the way For your last day You search the eyes of those Who fear the law Dark and light we all must keep the balance strong One day a king will rise with the sun The moon, and the stars And you are he and you must die, to be Born again, come again, once more be again the king Back from the dawn Deliver us right from wrong Kings forge the way For your last day Back from the dawn Deliver us right from wrong Kings forge the way For your last day |

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 |

Red gates of iron cast their Black shadows on this land Dividing souls... far below The gathering winds the armies watch Are rising from the west Foretelling news... of freedom's hand In secrecy they've infiltrated All of our strongholds Controlling more... year after year So we've let this happen all along Believing what's been said Our leaders cry... we have no one to fear We watch the sun rise, and hope We watch the sun rise, and hope That it won't be our last Before the storm Before the storm Before the storm Before the storm Is it late to try, must we all die Our system awaits testv Freedom by choice... is it for all men, best So we wait in fear the atom split Our hearts in two be torn Learn from the past... before the storm We watch the sunrise, and hope We watch the sunrise, and hope That it won't be our last |

Born into darkness in Saturn's sight
Riding the night like the wind Ripping the heart form a world that is right Treading the borders of sin. Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher Slashing destruction, your right hand sword ringing To the ends of the earth you will fly Conquering masses in wanton deception Blood-red your black flag waves high Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher higher higher higher Look around, is this the end that you have foreseen The pain, the misery in us all What was it that you knew? Will we one day learn it too And together build another way, to the morning Or will it ever come again You've poisoned all our hopes We have nothing now, and what of the children What has this done to them? Damn you for the pain That they must feel The last hero standing no time to turn back He's listening, he waits for your call The black barren plains reflect the hope of the same For one only waiting to fall Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher higher higher higher |

There's a certain feeling Known to all who hear the sound The call of morning rising You're in a mystic space Can't you feel the force embrace, the chill of the wind As it names you Oh, can't you see the lies in front of you Your journey ends so far, and still the distance Spins round and round you Now you cry - give me sanctuary You scream but no one listens Again you cry - give me sanctuary Until the end I'll fight and die, to be free Oh! No sanctuary You're walking halfway in But crawling halfway out There's a void in your mind that you cling to You feel lost in time, you've got no words to rhyme No more charms, no more spells to protect you Oh can't you see the lies in front of you Your journey ends so far, and still the distance Spins round and round you Now you cry - give me sanctuary You scream, but no one listens Again you cry - give me sanctuary Until the end I'll fight and die Oh I've got to be free |
