As I'm walking across the sand see the seabirds flying by
Red and blue and golden and a smell like paradise
I see flowers blooming bright and a rainbow in the sky
Silhouettes surrounding me, ten thousand butterflies
Statues of silver and gold are leading my way
There's a city across the light, there are waterfalls aside
Some people cross my sight smiling friendly at me
They seem surprised, but they're asking me to stay
There can't be greater life than here
I'm spending my days, they rush like a stream
With a girl by my side, my life seems like a dream
Some storm under surface, it breaks out like hell
People spreading ideas like they're under a spell
And as I'm understanding,
Just what it is, they're preaching
Finally I'm realizing,
It's my life, that they are teaching!
I can't fight flames, it's burning like hell
I can't stop this Great Rebellion
Like a spark to a flame, a virus of my name
I started this Great Rebellion
It's time for some new days, reach higher and higher
There must be life beyond beauty
Let's explore some new ways, some' new to desire
There must be life beyond beauty
Faster than bullets, they spread the disease
A world flamed with anger, not harmony and peace
It's gods against men, it's young against old
And it's growing much stronger, with the stories, I've told
And as I'm understanding,
Just what it is that they're preaching
Finally I'm realizing,
It is my life, they are teaching!
I can't fight flames, it's burning like hell
I can't stop this Great Rebellion
Like a spark to a flame, a virus of my name
I started this Great Rebellion
It's time for some new days, reach higher and higher
There must be life beyond beauty
Let's explore some new ways, some' new to desire
There must be life beyond beauty
So long, been waiting for, to find love
A piece of heaven
So hard, can't cry no more, where is
My piece of heaven
Out there, I'm sure must be, the one for me
To hold forever
I never thought, I'd find the love I need,
To fall forever
But you are my reason to love my new life
Here on this island I found all I need
Beauty and peace and the love of my life
You're all I need, you're the Beauty Of Love
Cherish the Beauty Of Love
Roses are raining sweet from above
Cherish the Beauty Of Love
A love forever
My days are rushing by, since you're here
So soft and peaceful
Light up my life, my love, your lips they taste
So sweet, so wonderful
Out there, I always knew, must be the one
To hold forever
I never thought, I'd find the love I need
To fall forever
But you are my reason to love my new life
Here on this island I found all I need
Beauty and peace and the love of my life
You're all I need, you're the Beauty Of Love
Cherish the Beauty Of Love
Roses are raining sweet from above
Cherish the Beauty Of Love
A love forever
Cherish the Beauty Of Love
Roses are raining sweet from above
Cherish the Beauty Of Love
A love forever
Now I am sure, I'll never leave again
I am so sure, you made me breathe again
Now that I know
That I can't live another life
Without you
Cherish the Beauty Of Love
Roses are raining sweet from above
Cherish the Beauty Of Love
The time is now, to sing the lovesongs for the planet
Gather round and try to find a way to save it
I still believe in our future
There's beauty to keep for our future
The hearts of the world, together as one
We're sons of the earth, where we all come from
Lets pray to the spirit, to the mother of all:
A-haaaallll!
Lets build the Temple Of The Earth
It's up to you, so c'mon fight this stream of sadness
One nature's dream, where we can live peaceful and fearless
For all of us to see, this creation
One unity to be our destination
The hearts of the world, together as one
We're sons of the earth, where we all come from
The hearts of the world, together as one
We're sons of the earth, where we all come from
The hearts of the world, together as one
We're sons of the earth, where we all come from
Lets build the Temple Of The Earth
Temple Of The Earth
Temple Of The Earth
Something pulls me back to you
Something makes me "hiding away"
Hard to be strong, when it feels go inside
Trying to lose control
My own heart still longs to see
What my eyes have never dared to touch
Holding me back, when I need to let go
It's not how it's meant to be
So hard to stay away from you - so hard to stay apart
Can't keep myself from touching you - still we're
Strangers from the Heart
Counting the days, the hours we spent
Writing letters I will never sent
I know this is wrong but it feels good inside
Heaven is where you are
So hard to stay away from you - so hard to stay apart
Can't keep myself from touching you - still we're
Strangers From The Heart
Still it's my life that I'm living
This is what I did choose
I just can't keep from feelin'
But there is so much left to lose!
So hard to stay away from you - so hard to stay apart
Can't keep myself from touching you - still we're
The morning they came, like the sun did not want to rise
A star in the night, like the gods came down to earth
Darkness around, not a sound, not a cry, not a single sigh
The priestress was killed, because she did not see the signs
Then they felt the thunder - A blazing sword of destruction
Then the alien came
Their eyes like silver - like the light of a new born star
When the alien came
A starship from the sky
No prophecy knew why
This is the kingdom of light
Destroyed this holy land
Built upon desert sand
The mystic gods from the sky
It's the star, it's the Stardawn
They brought them machines, breathing fire, shooting all their kings to dust
"Worship and pray, and your land will rise!
It will last over eons, it will last, all my children, all you need is trust!"
The new gods' prophecy, fate under stardawned skies!
Then they felt the thunder - A blazing sword of destruction
Then the alien came
Their eyes like silver - like the light of a new born star
When the alien came
A starship from the sky
No prophecy knew why
This is the kingdom of light
Destroyed this holy land
Built upon desert sand
The mystic gods from the sky
Long time ago, when mystery was all we knew
The earth was sleeping and holiness was all around us
Long time ago, when harmony was all we knew
The earth awaking - it keeps repeating every
Day dawning
Each morning - oh
Day dawning
Each morning - oh
As we see the light
Wake with the Spirit Of The Sun (source of life
Truth is the Spirit Of The Sun (feel the light)
Wake with the Spirit Of The Sun (source of life)
Truth is the Spirit Of The Sun
Long time ago, when agony was all we knew
Our hearts were freezing
The darkest shade was all around us
Long time ago, when loneliness was all we knew
Our hearts awaking - resurrecting every
Day dawning
Each morning - oh
Day dawning
Each morning - oh
As we see the light
Wake with the Spirit Of The Sun (source of life
Truth is the Spirit Of The Sun (feel the light)
Wake with the Spirit Of The Sun (source of life)
Truth is the Spirit Of The Sun
Feel the
See the
[Chapter I: Gathering Of The Damned]
The love of Shadowhall
The curse of Shadowhall
[Chapter II: Under The Bloodmoon]
It's the legacy of my family,
We've been sleeping well for a decade
Our breed is doomed, a family affair
Time to wake up, it's a new decade
No use in trying to break the chains,
We're bound to this evil curse
There's just one thing to keep us alive
A young girl's blood to feed the curse
Alive Under The Bloodmoon, The Bloodmoon
We are the living dead
Alive Under The Bloodmoon, The Bloodmoon
The dream of the living dead
Alive Under The Bloodmoon, The Bloodmoon
We are the living dead
Alive Under The Bloodmoon, The Bloodmoon
The dream of the living dead
The time is now for my tribe to come
And gather around for my wedding
Can't wait to meet my dying bride
She'll live forever after our marriage
A deadly kiss and she'll be mine,
The special guest for our feast
Her blood will feed the hungry breed
Come be my guest, come join the feast!
Alive Under The Bloodmoon, The Bloodmoon
We are the living dead
Alive Under The Bloodmoon, The Bloodmoon
The dream of the living dead
Alive Under The Bloodmoon, The Bloodmoon
We are the living dead
Alive Under The Bloodmoon, The Bloodmoon
The dream of the living dead
[Chapter III: Open The Gates]
It's time to welcome the family
They've been hiding in their graves
Been such a long time, long time -- no see
It's time to open the gates
So come on in and join the feast with me
You have been resting for too long
I'm serving fresh blood for you an me
The silvermoon, she makes us strong
Open The Gates, let them come in
They've been sleeping for too long
Open The Gates, let them join in
It's good to see you, come on!
Hundreds of years, hundreds of gatherings
We have to do this to live on
I am the keeper of the vampire flame
Trust in me, and you'll live on
And if you ask of my opinion
It's a blessing, not a curse
I am immortal, I am the holy one
So tell me, how can this ever be a curse?
Open The Gates, let them come in
They've been sleeping for too long
Open The Gates, let them join in
It's good to see you, come on!
Open The Gates, let them come in
They've been sleeping for too long
Open The Gates, let them join in
It's good to see you, come on!
[Chapter IV: Shadowhall]
Have a seat, you may sit down,
Nice to see you all around
But don't expect exotic fish
I serve a very special dish.
I may now introduce to you
The girl, I will get married to
Although I haven't met her yet
For sure, she'll be my perfect pet
She's so young, oh, she's so sweet
Innocent blood, will be our sweet drug at midnight
I'll give her love, I'll bring life
She'll be my wife -- an immortal existence
So long I've been waiting,
So long I've been yearning
So long I've been starving for blood
The beast deep within me
Is trying to break free
A hunger I just cannot stop
So long I've been waiting,
So long I've been yearning
A dream full of satanic lust
The beast deep within me
Is trying to break free
Good, clean entertainment, that you just can trust!
You're the girl of my dreams
I will kiss a away your fears
Be my bride, stay with me
Hear my call
Stay with me, by my side
Be my one beloved bride
Be the lady for Lord Shadowhall
You're the girl of my dreams
I will kiss a away your fears
Be my bride, stay with me
Hear my call
Stay with me, by my side
Be my one beloved bride
Be the lady for Lord Shadowhall
I can feel my wild heart beat
Oh yeah, by far, she's way too sweet
And when I touch her golden hair
It makes me shiver everywhere
Maybe, I'd tame the beast in me
This time not to be running free
What is this thing, that I do feel
Inside a dark heart, love is real
Shadowhall
Shadowhall
Shadowhall
[Chapter V: Vampire's Ball]
C'mon babe, c'mon babe and dance with me
I show you love for the whole world to see
I will never, never ever leave you
Leave you again, my dear
Oh, this love is forever
What I've been waiting for
Oh, love until the end of never
So true, so deep for sure!
Oh, this love is forever
Oh, what I've been waiting for
Oh, love until the end of never
More than lust, I never wanted more!
C'mon babe, c'mon babe and dance with me
We're one, you're the center of the world for me
Let me hold you, never lose you
Never ever do you no harm...
Oh, this love is forever
What I've been waiting for
Oh, love until the end of never
So true, so deep for sure!
Oh, this love is forever
What I've been waiting for
Oh, love until the end of never
More than lust, I never wanted more!
The love of a vampire
C'mon babe, c'mon babe and dance with me
I show you love for the whole world to see
I will never, never ever leave you
Leave you again, my dear
[Chapter VI: Hell Dimension]
I see it so clear, now is the time to break from the family tradition
Break from the curse, break all the chains, find what we've always been missin'
This girl is the healer
The prophet of change
Now is the time
To rearrange
I -- was blinded by life without love
I -- needed a little help from above
Now -- don't tell me 'bout our destiny
Now -- now is the time to shake free!
Fight this evil -- escape from this hell dimension
Trust your feelings -- they lead you from hell dimension
Fight this evil -- escape from this hell dimension
Trust your feelings -- they lead you from hell dimension
I look in their eyes, but all I can see, is hatred and hunger and fever
They don't understand, just what I have found, I am a true believer
I'll be your messiah
The prophet of change
Now is the time
To rearrange
I -- was blinded by life without love
I -- needed a little help from above
Now -- don't tell me 'bout our destiny
Now -- now is the time to shake free!
Fight this evil -- escape from this hell dimension
Trust your feelings -- they lead you from hell dimension
Fight this evil -- escape from this hell dimension
Trust your feelings -- they lead you from hell dimension
[Chapter VII -- Love Under Ice]
All that I have loved, all that I have truly believed in
All hope is gone, killed by my very own breed
I'm buried alive, frozen, not killed here under the ice&
So deep
Under the ice
She's lying beside me, this is our love under ice
Love under ice
Love under ice
Wintertime is fading
Feel the sun comes up again
And the night becomes my friend
This special scent just fills the air
Wintertime is fading
My own heart pushes me up
And the night becomes my friend
Everything seems to awake
Springtime's getting higher
Feel the heat is coming out
Yes the night's the place to be
My lover's sweat to cover me
Everything's to change
Time to rearrange
Time to live and be reborn again
Everything's to die
It's the way of life
A change of seasons is right here tonight
I see circles when I look above to the moon
(Circles 'round sun and moon)
Shades of grey while my eyes try to reach for the sun
(Circles 'round sun and moon)
Summer's growing colder
Still the air is full of sound
And the music's slowing down
Still there's magic all around
And when fall is falling
Shadows growing far too long
Yearning, howling at the moon
Everything just starts again
Everything's to change
Time to rearrange
Time to live and be reborn again
Everything's to die
It's the way of life
A change of seasons is right here tonight
I see circles when I look above to the moon
(Circles 'round sun and moon)
Shades of grey while my eyes try to reach for the sun
I see the storm clouds coming, I see the rising of the waves
Above the dark horizon, I feel the ocean as it quakes
Wind and rain, at war again
The ocean fights,
This lonely ship tonight
But we're sailing on, to a distant shore
Still the ocean fights
All my hopes and dreams
High up on the hillside I was standing in the rain,
I was waiting for a sign to come
Longing for an answer, I was asking once again,
Wanted to know, what was about to come.
Absolute darkness, no stars, no moon around
I was looking down the waters edge
I saw the waves, the ocean's sacred sound
So paralysing, got me jumping off the edge!
I felt the water, so cold, but oh so free
I felt the magic, the passion of the sea
There was no fear, no hate controlling me
Absolute freedom, only life surrounding me
All that I do believe in
Lies in my own secret eden
Crystal Stone Island
I'm done with compromising
Let loose and stop my hiding
Crystal Stone Island
Was drifting through the darkness, the coldness of the flood
My final voyage had just begun
Deeper in the ocean, the stream was my cold blood
Addicted to the darkness, I didn't need no sun
I was sinking deeper, (but) I didn't feel no pain
I couldn't move no more and I was drifting on
The icy water was pumping through my veins
Out in the fields, over hills and mountains
Far from the blood we all came from
The source of our dreams and ancient legends
A fountain of truth for those who believe
Come with me, dream with me
There's much more than the eye can see
Free your feel, feel your dream
Don't hide from what you know should be
We're on the quest for the Mystery Stone
There's more to reach in your life
There's more to find if you believe
We're on the quest for the Mystery Stone
The magic of the freedom that lies in everyone
Hey!
They come from the valleys, the hills and the desert
The magical spirit will guide us all
Search for the truth, search for the blind faith
Long lost inside your frozen heart
Come with me, dream with me
There's much more than the eye can see
Free your feel, feel your dream
Don't hide from what you know should be
We're on the quest for the Mystery Stone
There's more to reach in your life
There's more to find if you believe
We're on the quest for the Mystery Stone
The magic of the freedom that lies in everyone
Hey!
Come with me, dream with me
There's much more than the eye can see
Free your feel, feel your dream
Don't hide from what you know should be
We're on the quest for the Mystery Stone
There's more to reach in your life
There's more to find if you believe
We're on the quest for the Mystery Stone
The magic of the freedom that lies in everyone
Been stranded here, on the shores of this island
And what I found was paradise
But all my dreams, destroyed by my own hands
I was fool, I brought evil to life!
What have I done?
What's left to do?
In an endless ocean
The only one left here, still searching for truth
Left alone, in this ocean left alone
Dying all alone, for all that I've done
Left alone, got my fears all by me own
Crying all alone, for all I've become
My life is wasted, I've ruined all I loved
I'm drowning here left all alone
A new home on the streets of Utopia
All that I was looking for
They gave me love, I brought them pain and I
I'm the only one to blame for sure
Why am I alive?
How can I live, live on?
In an endless ocean
The only one left here, still cheating the truth
Left alone, in this ocean left alone
Dying all alone, for all that I've done
Left alone, got my fears all by me own
Crying all alone, for all I've become
My life is wasted, I've ruined all I loved
Say can you hear, the voices and screams
Out there the people are yelling
There's fists in the air, there's rage in their eyes
A riot to bring on the change
There's anger in the air
People from everywhere
Are crying out in the streets
There's hatred in their stare
No chance to hide nowhere
The fires are burning tonight!
Is this the end of the world?
This is not what I did seek!
I cannot believe this
Is this Armageddon, Utopia burning
The people are raging, all hell's breaking loose
Is this Armageddon, Utopia dying
Was my fate to kill them and death is the truth?
Is this Armageddon, Utopia burning
The people are raging, all hell's breaking loose
Is this Armageddon, Utopia dying
Disaster and madness is what I did choose!
My own ideas, based on my hopes and fears
Don't wanna be no messiah!
They don't understand, they kill their own land
A lemming-like society!
There's madness in the air
Evil is everywhere
All that I wanted was freedom
Now freedom's breaking loose
Can't stop my raging truth
I can't stop this thing I have started
Is this the end of the world?
This is not what I did seek!
I cannot believe this
Is this Armageddon, Utopia burning
The people are raging, all hell's breaking loose
Is this Armageddon, Utopia dying
Was my fate to kill them and death is the truth?
Is this Armageddon, Utopia burning
The people are raging, all hell's breaking loose
Is this Armageddon, Utopia dying
Lost all his hope, the king is crying
Down on his luck, his kingdom is dying
No way out, no way back
Legions of evil about to attack
Brave days of old, burned to the ground
Pain and destruction, a thunderous sound
Unholy sound
Darkness around
Alone in his chamber the king is crying
His sword to ground in a rage of pain
Darkness around him, darkness inside his
Stone cold and long lost broken heart
Alone in his chamber the king is crying
The tears from his eyes fill an empty room
Sorrow around him, sorrow inside his
Stone cold and long lost heart of black
His last prayer sent, nothing left to believe in
Wasted all men, wasted his freedom
No way out, no way back
Legions of evil about to attack
Brave days of old, burned to the ground
Pain and destruction, a thunderous sound
Unholy sound
Darkness around
Alone in his chamber the king is crying
His sword to ground in a rage of pain
Darkness around him, darkness inside his
Stone cold and long lost broken heart
Alone in his chamber the king is crying
The tears from his eyes fill an empty room
Sorrow around him, sorrow inside his
I feel this dark and cloudy shadow over me
Tried to forget all that I didn't wanna see
Oh, I never believed
No I never wanted to bleed
I never ever really believed
I never really believed
Was facing the truth, felt the pain, but you will remain&
(Right here)
I Ain't No Hero
I Ain't No Hero
The love that I feel is all I can give
I Ain't No Hero
I Ain't No Hero
Only the love and the pain left, that's me
I got no tears left to share and to give
Been hiding your eyes for so long, far too long
Oh, I never believed
No I never wanted to bleed
I never ever really believed
I never really believed
Was facing the truth, felt the pain, but you will remain&
(Right here)
I Ain't No Hero
I Ain't No Hero
The love that I feel is all I can give
I Ain't No Hero
I Ain't No Hero
Only the love and the pain left, that's me
Right here, where all of your love's kept
Right here, where all of your love is left
Right here,
Right here
As the rain begins to fall and my shadow seems to fade
Still my pride is walking tall, but the hope has turned to hate
C'mon please, come walk with me through this endless, hopeless maze
I've been the one to lift you up,
But now it's up to you
I need your guiding hand
Your power and your strength
I need you, baby, heaven sent
Come on be my shining light
Fill the darkness, cut the night
I need you, baby, to lead the blind!
Walk with me, Run with me,
Lead me through the rain
Won't you help me through the storm
Come guide me, Come Lead me
(Till) the sun will rise again
Won't You help me through the storm
And the wind it cuts so deep, divides the tears from the rain
Still I know, which way to go, hope this struggle is not in vain!
So, c'mon please, come take my hand, I got nothing left to blame
I've been the one to lift you up,
Baby, it's up to you!
I need your guiding hand
Your power and your strength
I need you, baby, heaven sent
Come on be my shining light
Fill the darkness, cut the night
I need you, baby, to lead the blind!
Walk with me, Run with me,
Lead me through the rain
Won't you help me through the storm
Come guide me, Come Lead me
(Till) the sun will rise again
Won't You help me through the storm
Can't see no hope out there
Forgive me father, for I have sinned!
The Storm is drawing near
Well I've always been a dreamer
I've always tried my best to be free, so free
But as soon as you start trying
You're half way where you're losing yourself
No one ever should be cheatin'
Only true love hurts
I can't trust my heart so blue (my heart so blue)
Don't believe in what I'm feelin'
Only true love hurts
I know I should be over you
Heart On The Line, Heart On The Line
I feel that my heart this time is just doing time
Stop wasting my time, chasing my time
Stop fighting this love with my heart on
Heart On The Line
When your heart is bleedin'
It's way too hard to find what you need
It's like searching for a new love
Love strikes like lightning, takes you by storm, by storm
No one ever should be cheatin'
Only true love hurts
I can't trust my heart so blue (my heart so blue)
Don't believe in what I'm feelin'
Only true love hurts
I know I should be over you
Heart On The Line, Heart On The Line
I feel that my heart this time is just doing time
Stop wasting my time, chasing my time
Stop fighting this love with my heart on
The first time that I saw you, my world turned upside down,
I couldn't move a muscle, and my heart slammed to the ground
Some fever rushed inside of me, it grabbed me by the balls
Your burning eyes, your everything was tearing down my walls!
The closer that I got to you, the more my hunger burned
And all the red lights, warning me, well, it seemed, I've never learned
I felt your sweat all over me, lord, keep me from the flame
But like a moth I turned to you again -- again -- again!
Rescue me
Emergency
Set me free
Baby, we're heading for trouble!
Can something so wrong make me feel oh so good?
Headfirst into disaster
I never should, but I knew that I would
Headfirst into disaster
Like a fool
A clown for you
I'm your slave, babe, never let go!
All day and night, your chains so tight, you feed me like a drug
You make me feel so all, alright, babe, everytime we&
Your kisses hot as fever, your body cold as ice
I can't keep me hands from you, I'm burning for your thighs
I don't know where my car has gone or where the money went,
I gotta keep from eating, can someone please pay my rent?
I don't need all this bullshit, like my stereo and stuff
But it's six weeks since I've seen that girl and now it's getting way too ruff!
Rescue me
Emergency
Set me free
Oh! I'm in deep, deep trouble!
[Chorus]
Harbour of Hope - on a proud ship I will sail, my own fairytale
Far from this land, I'll be free
Harbour of Hope - where a new life waits for me, my new reality
Over the ocean I'll be free
Harbour of Hope - dreams are sailing
C'mon!
Experience XTC, the time is right for me
Forget my troubles, leave 'em behind
Experience XTC, the time is right for me
Follow my spirit, my heart leads the way
Don't need no Ecstasy, these pills don't work with me
Don't need no feeder in no chemistry
The only one is me, the only way to be
I'm standing taller than I've ever been
I - I only live for the moment
Tomorrow can wait
I wipe off the dirt all the time
Experience XTC, the time is right for me
Forget my troubles, leave 'em behind
Experience XTC, the time is right for me
I'm not what others just want me to be
It's my life can't you see, my own philosophy
I've grown from all of the things I have done
Bareepdadeepdadee - live it in dignity
Rise up with all of your feelings so strong
I - I only live for the moment
Tomorrow can wait
I wipe off the dirt all the time
C'mon
Experience XTC, Experience XTC
Experience XTC, Experience XTC
Experience XTC, Experience XTC
I - I only live for the moment
Tomorrow can wait
On the first day of the rain people felt no fear or pain
They were surprised, so surprised
But as the rainbows did not rise
Animals out for disguise
This will turn to endless rain sent from the gods above
Hide from this endless rain the gods locked away their love
This will turn to endless rain sent from the gods above
Hide from this endless rain the gods locked away their love
They locked away all their love
As the second month began there was barely no dry land
Is this the end, the end?
At night the women cried
No more seabirds were in sight
This will turn to endless rain sent from the gods above
Hide from this endless rain the gods locked away their love
This will turn to endless rain sent from the gods above
Hide from this endless rain the gods locked away their love
Locked away their love
Away their love
Away their love
Anger, water, sent from the heavens
Storm clouds cover the moon and the sun
Rain, storm and thunder, a god-given vengeance
Terror and pain terror and pain
Terror and pain from this endless&
This will turn to endless rain sent from the gods above
Hide from this endless rain the gods locked away their love
This will turn to endless rain sent from the gods above
Hide from this endless rain the gods locked away their love
Locked away their love
Away their love
Lonely sidewalks, neon mirrors
Beating of a stone cold heart
Concrete feelings, keep on breathing
Dusty perfume in the dark
I'm cruising still here in
Bleeding still
This is Downtown Babylon
I welcome you here in
Fears come true
This is neon darkness
This is Downtown Babylon
Cheap romancing, body's boiling
Souls lost in the wishing-well
Burning bridges, gutter divas
Fall in love with agony
I'm cruising still here in
Still bleeding
This is Downtown Babylon
I welcome you here in
Fears come true
This is neon darkness
This is all that matters
This is street-life dreaming
This is concrete yearning
These are instant feelings
This is neon darkness
This is all that matters
Life in Downtown Babylon
I welcome you here in
Fears come true
This is Downtown Babylon
I'm cruising still here in
Bleeding still
This is neon darkness
I welcome you here in
Fears come true
Welcome you here in
Fears come true
Welcome you
It was late at night on the open road,
Speeding like a man on the run
A lifetime spent preparing for the journey.
He is closer now and the search is on,
Reading from a map in the mind:
Yes there's that ragged hill
And there's a boat on the river.
And when the rain came down,
He heard a wild dog howl
There were voices in the night
(Don't do it! )
Voices out of sight
(Don't do it! )
Too many men have failed before,
Whatever you do;
Don't pay the ferryman!
Don't even fix a price!
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side.
In the rolling mist, then he gets on board,
Now there'll be no turning back
Beware that hooded old man at the rudder.
And then the lightning flashed
And the thunder roared,
And people calling out his name,
And dancing bones that jabbered-and-a-moaned
On the water.
And then the ferryman said
"There is trouble ahead,
So you must pay me now."
(Don't do it! )
"You must pay me now."
(Don't do it! )
And still that voice came from beyond,
Whatever you do;
Don't pay the ferryman!
Don't even fix a price!
Don't pay the ferryman
Until he gets you to the other side.
"We were dead of sleep,
And all clapped under hatches;
Where, with strange and several noises
Of roaring, shrieking, howling, jingling chains,
And more diversity of sounds, all horrible,
We were awaked; straightaway at liberty;
Where we, in all her trim, freshly beheld
Count on love - uuh yeah!
Count on love - whoohoo
Don't count on, don't count on
Count on love - oh won't you count on love my baby
Count on love
Don't count on, don't count on
Blue-eyed darlin', young and sweet
Dreams of a lovin', to set her free
Tries to hold on to her dream
Waits for someone to make her feel
Cries herself to sleep tonight
No one here to hold her tight - no
Bittersweet, the hurting kind
All she ever kept inside
Dared to share her dreams at night
No one here to hold her tight
Don't Count, Don't Count on Love
You can get more from life, than you're dreaming of
Oh honey
Don't Count, Don't Count on Love
Lonely nights
Don't last forever
Count on love
Don't count on, don't count on
Shy little schoolgirl far from home
In the arms of a stranger she feels so alone
On the hunt every evening, she broke a thousand hearts
Never stays forever - she is gone!
Cries herself to sleep tonight
No one here to hold her tight, no, no, no
Bittersweet, the hurting kind
All she ever kept inside
Dared to share her dreams at night
No one here to hold her tight
Don't Count, Don't Count on Love
You can get more from life, than you're dreaming of
Oh honey
Don't Count, Don't Count on Love
Lonely nights
Don't last forever
Count on love - oh won't you count on love, my baby
Count on love
Got a good reason for taking the easy way out
Got a good reason for taking the easy way out now
She was a Day Tripper, one-way ticket yeah
It took me so long to find out, but I found out
She's a big teaser, she took me half way there
She's a big teaser, she took me half way there now
She was a Day Tripper, one-way ticket yeah
It took me so long to find out, but I found out
She was a Day Tripper, a Sunday driver, yeah
It's been too long, it's been too far gone
Since the dream of our life went astray
Now I'm here, in a sea of fear
Trying to fight every day
It's deadly, it's vicious
Look what you're doing to me
It's evil, grotesque
What do you want from me?
This drama, so sad
This is not how it should be
Just leave me - alone!
It's all that I have to say!
Ohohoho - let's end this deadly Charade
Ohohoho - let's end this evil Charade
Since you've been gone, my life comes undone
But can't keep from making me bleed
Can't you see, we're not meant to be
We have failed from the very first start
It's deadly, it's vicious
Look what you're doing to me
It's evil, grotesque
What do you want from me?
This drama, so sad
This is not how it should be
Just leave me - alone!
It's all that I have to say!
Ohohoho - let's end this deadly Charade
(It's my life, can't you see?)
Ohohoho - let's end this evil Charade
Ohohoho - let's end this deadly Charade
Ohohoho - let's end this evil Charade
(This was never meant to be)
Out of my life - let's end this deadly Charade
(It's my life, can't you see?)
Free from this live - please end this evil Charade
Ohohoho - let's end this deadly Charade
It's time to make my final decision
I'm gonna leave this cruel world
Don't wanna go in this any deeper
Don't wanna hide from my own hurts
Can't face my demons
Struggling in my head
Can't keep the voices from screaming
I am about to explode
No longer run, no longer hide
No more denying what's burning inside
Can't kill this pain, a soul on the run
This resurrection's already begun
Drowning myself, drowning my past
Knowing that my inner pressure would last
No longer run, no longer hide
No more denying what's burning inside
I will use this fever - time to make decisions
No more broken dreams and no more Blackhole Visions
I will drown my sorrow - it's the right decision
No more broken dreams and no more Blackhole Visions
And now the dark side of my heart
Controls my every move
It feels so good letting myself go
This life can give so much more
Can't face this chaos, ruling my head
My life's been wasted for so long
And now it's time for a change!
No longer run, no longer hide
No more denying what's burning inside
Can't kill this pain, a soul on the run
This resurrection's already begun
Drowning myself, drowning my past
Knowing that my inner pressure would last
No longer run, no longer hide
No more denying what's burning inside
I will use this fever - time to make decisions
No more broken dreams and no more Blackhole Visions
I will drown my sorrow - it's the right decision
No more broken dreams and no more Blackhole Visions
(Oh no) How can I believe in me
(Oh no) Waiting so long to be free
(Oh no) How can I believe in me
(Oh no) Waiting so long to be free
(Oh no) How can I believe in me
I am far away from heaven, time turns to the great escape, the great escape
I've been stranded here forever, some other place where no one waits, no one waits forever
Free, sailing on a sea of dreams
Life, nothing's ever what it seems
Time to get some living
This is Almost Eden, just what I believe in
Don't hang on, won't be gone
This is Almost Eden, more than I have needed
I'll stay strong, from now on
I will be
The one that you can always lean on
The one that you have always dreamed of
Almost Eden
We are flying with the angels, we don't need no heaven to feel free, to feel free
Our hearts pounding like a big drum, leading the way to another dream, but we are far from dreaming
Near, where we've been before (where we've never been before)
Now, closer to a different shore (getting closer now)
Time to start believing
This is Almost Eden, just what I believe in
Don't hang on, won't be gone
This is Almost Eden, more than I have needed
I'll stay strong, from now on
I will be
The one that you can always lean on
The one that you have always dreamed of
Almost Eden, Almost Eden
Almost Eden
Hold on to a dream, close to me
Hold on to a dream, trust in me
This is Almost Eden, just what I believe in
Don't hang on, won't be gone
This is Almost Eden, more than I have needed
I'll stay strong, from now on
I will be
The one that you can always lean on
The one that you have always dreamed of
The one that you can always turn to
The one that you can always run to
Almost Eden
Almost Eden
Led by cold machines, chained to their existence
The future once bright, sacrificed by
Mankind
A lonely seed of green, behind this concrete life
Drowned by clay and steel. Progress be thy
Master
All, All In The Name Of Fire
Run by fool's desires
We're all determined to die
Ruled by machines
All, All In The Name Of Fire
All this foolish desires
Is leading us to die
Our own doomsday machine
It's the ghost in the machine, the creation of a beast
No longer can we hide from what we've once
Created
All, All In The Name Of Fire
Run by fool's desires
We're all determined to die
Ruled by machines
All, All In The Name Of Fire
All this foolish desires
We can't stop our breed
A technological Frankenstein
[Solo]
All, All In The Name Of Fire
Run by fool's desires
We're all determined to die
Ruled by machines
All, All In The Name Of Fire
All this foolish desires
Like a vampire out for blood
This is my new beginning, another life to come
This is my new beginning, gonna make my dreams come true
Don't look for perfect living, don't look for perfect love
As long as this time living, makes this man feel like a man
Paradise for me across the sea
Paradise just waits for me and
I will never be the same
Utopia lies over the sea
Utopia for a man like me
When the horizon will meet the sky
I will find my new home where all souls can fly
Utopia lies over the sea
Utopia for a man like me
My new sense of living, is what I will find
Gonna leave all my guilt and my past behind
This is my new beginning, been waiting for too long
This is my new beginning, leave all troubles far behind
All of my lust for freedom, all of my hope for peace
All of the dreams and yearning, I will find across the sea
Paradise my dreams of liberty
Paradise just waits for me and
I will never be the same
Utopia lies over the sea
Utopia for a man like me
When the horizon will meet the sky
I will find my new home where all souls can fly
Utopia lies over the sea
Utopia for a man like me
My new sense of living, is what I will find
