You won't believe what I'm after,
I play this game for keeps.
Lot's of blood, and disaster,
I'll drop you down on your knees.
I (?) so called religion,
The right to do as you please.
If they should hold me for ransom,
Honey, destroy my tapes as you leave.
I've got a license to murder,
will die.
work for United Countries,
don't even ask me why.
regrets baby,
You see me on the T.V.
The politicians I protect,
Are filled with hate and disease.
We're fighting in the streets,
So you can feel at ease.
We're fighting for our lives,
In order to survive.
I'm in the C.I.A.!
around like a stallion,
think I'm too cool.
lot's of money and action,
I don't get fooled.
mistakes
my magnum
worry at all
Is someone out there
Is someone hiding from the light, ain't that right
You hear them screaming
You see them crying in the night, oh nothing's right
You can see me
Don't you understand
Don't you know
I'm fallin' tonight, to the darker side of light
You better let me go
I'm fading away, a thousand times today
Help me find my way, and I'm calling out to you tonight
Somebody saved you
Somebody pulled you from the dark, like a spark
You let me stumble, you let me ease away from pain
The broken chain
They can't see you
They don't recognize, why
Like a dream you faded, you were cast away
Deep into the night, somewhere safe
You came to me, hold yourself and say, yeah
I'm falling tonight to the darker side of light
You better let me go
I'm fading away, a thousand times today
You better help me stay
I'm falling tonight to the darker side of light
You better let me go
I'm fading away, a thousand times today
You better help me stay
Shadow puppets
The old man nearly died
They dance in the light from his hand
He remembers when fate was more kind
And cool summer rain soaked the land
Bells in the temple, a buddah Reclines
Meanwhile to the east and again to the north
Shiva awaits in the sand
Smooth as leather - unchained by the blade
A face made of stone will remain
Who will remember the love that we made
And hand writes a word and the word is genocide
Kill not your enemy
Love not your friend
Turning in ecstasy
We learn the dance of death
No water
One in ten survive
Cries of the damned flood the land
Another leader more dead than alive
With innocent blood on his hand
Gunfire by dayligth - murder by night
Run to the hills on the voyage of your past
Memories faded by night
Nowhere to go so they learn how to dance
Their hands speak of days left behind
Your murderer's your saviour by strange circumstance
A lesson in lies for the children of the damned
Kill not your enemy
Love not your friend
Turning in ecstasy
We learn the dance of death
Silent as angels
The old man survive
Serene as a statue they stand
They drink propaganda and breath cyanide
Meanwhile in Asia the rains begin again
Kill not your enemy
Love not your friend
Turning in ecstasy
I remember sudden distant sound
Guilt and leverage mark my way
I try to take myself a thousand steps from here
Somewhere something makes me stay
I recall a broken spirit traveling down the road
Never more his images have burned upon the floor, floor, floor
Let it out, the chains revolving in my mind, fight on
Tear it out, death is calling me this time
Draw the line, a simple man hands upon his stone
Spin his wheel for a dime
He sheds a tear of two and covers up his soul
He did not ever speak his mind
Rattle on, the masters keep him like a frightened dog
Battle scars, the fortune of his heart will kill us all, all, all
Let it out, the chains revolving in my mind, fight on
Tear it out, death is calling me this time
Draw the line, oh you feel like there`s nowhere at all
You feel you`re alone at the door
It`s alright you`ll see, yeah
Let it out, the chains revolving in my mind, fight on
Tear it out, death is calling me this time
Draw the line
Let it out, the chains revolving in my mind, fight on
Tear it out, death is calling me this time
Draw the line
Get your motor runnin',
Head out on the highway.
We're lookin' for adventure,
Or whatever comes our way.
I know we're gonna make it happen,
Meet the world in a love embrace.
Fire all of the guns at once,
And explode into space.
I like smoky lightning,
Heavy metal thunder.
Got my hands on the wheel,
Lord, I like that I'm under.
I know we're gonna make it happen,
in a love embrace
Fire all of the guns at once,
And explode into space.
Like a true nature's child,
We were born be wild.

Born to be wild.
Born to be wild.
Ball of fire in the sky,
The sound of solid steel.
A flash of lightning,
Sounds so frightening,
When the power's all you feel.
From the leather of the fifties,
Murray The K and Alan Freed.
Monroe and James Dean,
Died for the silver screen,
And Elvis made them bleed.
Born in America.
Born in America.
You wanna see a movie star?
Hollywood or D.C.?
Politicians greed,
Money's all you need,
The power's guaranteed.
Vegas got the casinos,
And Texas, oil wells.
Got your Boston beans,
Got your Frisco Queens,
Anything that sells.
Born in America.

Motor city, motown,
Chili-dogs and baseball.
Bluejeans and Coca-Cola,
Rock 'n' roll,
We drank 'till the sunrise
Rode away singin' Johnny's back again
maybe i'm wrong - maybe i've really just been away too
long
There a few who remember
Fewer still who remember why
They ain't still ready to fight but i've had the world
at my feet
And i know it's right
I wanna crawl from the wreckage again
Feel the kiss of twisted metal
Like a drink running hot in my veins
I've got a score to settle
Black leather and glittering Steel
They're calling me back
So i'm turning my head to the wheel
Black leather and glittering steel
I'm thirsty for more
So i'm sending my foot to the floor
Looks nobody's buying
Looks to me you can't go home again
So i'm riding alone
maybe the lights are on - but nobody's home
So long to my brothers
Later on once again you're left behind
Are you lashed to the mast
Or will you drown in the chair
Where i found you last ?
I wann feel the wind in my face
And the velvet shimmering limousines
Like a kiss from the queen of the damned
Like the smell of gasoline
Black leather and glittering Steel
They're calling me back
So i'm turning my head to the wheel
Black leather and glittering steel
I'm thirsty for more
So i'm sending my foot to the floor
I wanna crawl from the wreckage again
Feel the kiss of twisted metal
Like a drink running hot in my veins
I've got a score to settle
Black leather and glittering Steel
They're calling me back
So i'm turning my head to the wheel
Black leather and glittering steel
I'm thirsty for more
Unlock the gates
Unlock the doors
Cyrus waits outside no more
Laughter rose
Inside the walls
In the night this time
The ancient city falls
I'm running from the storm
It can not be too long before it's gone
I'm searching for the dawn
Touch me and my soul will be reborn
I have seen babylon
Soon to come - the mystery
She'll rise above the land and sea
Babylon the great will cry
Kings will weep and
Souls will die
The clouds are are gathering today
Feel the thunder in the streets
I hear the prophets pray
I'm running from the storm
It can not be too long before it's gone
I'm searching for the dawn
Touch me and my soul will be reborn
I have seen babylon
Nations drink the fatal wine of
Intense immortal crime
Babylon will surely fall with
Judgement day upon us all
I'm running from the storm
It can not be too long before it's gone
I'm searching for the dawn
Touch me and my soul will be reborn
I'm running from the storm
It can not be too long before it's gone
I'm searching for the dawn
Touch me and my soul will be reborn
Breaking from under the spell
Taking my life like a bullet wound
My masters are straight out of hell
I feel their eyes watching my every move
I can not surrender control
My only relief from this endless pain
I beg and I cry for an ounce of your sympathy
Still I am left here to die
Carry on, just a moment of mercy
Bring your fight to them all
Lift your blade, from the floor
Death, is my burning light
Still I'm alive and must fight
The knife in my hand is my guiding force
I scream through the silence of night
My senses are gaining complete control
Just a dream, now nothing is over
Break your chains from the wall
Stand up, stand tall
Slowly we built to a mass
An army of one as we grow with our vengeance
The battle has not yet begun
We'll tear out the hearts of all those who suppress us
Just a dream, now nothing is over
Break your chains from the wall
Maybe nobody told you, you don'T know whi i am
I'm not looking to show you, when a man is a man
I've been telling you, you've been gone for so long
I've been telling you, don't you know that it's wrong. yea
I ain't giving no reasons, i didn't telling you why.
I'm just looking for freedom, from this deadly desire
I've been telling you, you've been gone for so long
I've been telling you, don't you know that it's wrong
Angel eyes, angel eyes, angel eyes
I've been telling you, you've been
gone for so long
I've been telling you, don't you know that
it's wrong.yea
Get ready, stand steady,
We're gonna shoot you full of Rock 'n Roll.

Ah, the boys are losin' control.

You're an angel who was born to, born to swing.

On the night,
Through the fire and the light.
I hold my sword up,
Lightning, it strikes out.
Reach for the light,
Fight for my life.
A mystery 'till we meet,
The fountain of the king.
To the altar of the king.
To the altar of the king.
To the altar of the king.
Evenings burning skies,
Reflects upon my eyes.
Out in the distance,
Utopia, resistance.
The power and the glory,
Through wild woods calling.
Evil is flowing,
Its own justice, to the fight.
At the altar of the king.
To the altar of the king.
The altar of the king.
Ohhh, ohhh.
faster and faster
To the altar of the king.
To the altar of the king.
To the altar of the king.
To the altar of the king.
I'm so near her,
Sight's so clearer.
Riding faster, riding faster.
They all, were losers,
And none had a dime.
And they all drew pictures,
Of what was stored in their minds.
Questions and answers,
Filled with fables and rhymes.
Headed west was a '49er,
To stake his new shrine.
Some never made,
Their dreams come to life.
Many men fell,
From a gun or a knife.
They grew old and weary,
And ashamed,
Of the stories they told,
And the wealth that they gained.
But the road, was a rough one,
Wind and hills were their foe.
And no man, was a low man,
They were too young to know.
Headed west was a 49er,
Get rich quick, live life finer.
On and on and on, the story goes.
Some never made,
Their dreams to life.
Many men fell,
From a gun or a knife.
They grew old and weary,
And ashamed,
Of the stories they told,
And the wealth that they gained.
Now rich man, and poor,
Aren't equal to one.
And they follow the stars,
Once the journey's begun.
Shines the gleam, in their eye,
And the song in their heart.
If the land don't shred his mind,
It'll tear his soul apart.
Some never made,
Their dreams come to life.
Many men fell,
From a gun or a knife.
They grew old and weary,
And ashamed,
Of the stories they told,
And the wealth that they gained.
Some never made,
Their dreams come to life.
Many men fell,
To a gun or a knife.
They grew old and weary,
And ashamed,
Of the stories that told,
And the wealth that they gained.
Spreading wings across the water

Danger games inside the claims
Fathers law to obey

Raise your hands and cry. yea.
Dragonfire proud and strong
Armore clad diseased an mad
From the canyons of hell

Killers casting their spell

Don't you leave me here alone thoughout the night.
Cover me, cover me

I've been fighting this war for so long.
Tell me why its not over.
With inclinations our leaders are wrong.
There they are the're controlling our lives.
Still i'll fight.
We have fought through the sun and the moon.
Facing tyrants and soldiers.
We stumbled from glory to doom.
Blood of men on my shoulders.
It's true, what you do. Listen.
I believe, i believe in the things they said.
Your promises, no more promises.
Sons and brothers they die side by side
Not a soul in sedition.
From the gallows to streets of versailles
Now we live in submission now me, oh i'm free.
I believe, i believe in the things they said.
Your promises, i believe, i believed in the things
they said, your promises.
I believe, i believed in the things they said.
Your promises, oh i believe, yea.
I believed in the things they said, your promises.
Disposable creatures defiling the night,
Receive at my hand the invisible light.
This river of faces, this garden of graves,
It flows and it grows when this boy misbehaves.
Do you hear that song? Now it won't be long,
Until we dance the dance
And rid ourselves of everyone.
Yeah, when I hear that sound,
I'm gonna take you down,
To where the river flows and I tend to the garden
Where nothing grows.
Echoes on the wind,
Faces reflected in mirrored eyes,
Another soul I might have been.
Strangers to me now,
Far from this vision of love...
Emerging from shadows, come out of the rain,
Abandon your body and give me your pain.
Do you hear that song? Now it won't be long,
Until we dance the dance
And rid ourselves of everyone.
When I hear that sound, I'm gonna take you down,
To where the river flows and I tend to the garden
Where nothing grows.
Echoes on the wind...
Long ago, just a boy who knew that love is
Complicated when your lovers die.
Young blood, you're so impatient
For the feast of good & evil.
The time will come and we'll all begin.
Didn't you think it just a bit baroque,
Or maybe it's mediaeval,
We're breaking bones instead of bread within.
Didn't I say it would be different,
Your afterlife, the sequel.
This festival of carnage feeds on
Large amounts of mortal sin.
Now here's a thought while you're
Assuming the position;
Will Jesus raise you on the final day?
Didn't you think there'd be a price to pay
For such a grand transition?
This fellowship of ours depends on
Centuries of living prey.
One more immortal soul,
Draw closer to the fire.
One more companion in murder eternally.
Now here's the part where we
Descend into perdition,
Far from the world of your imagining.
Didn't you think there would be others
In this rarefied condition?
You want to call yourself a demon,
Please address me as the demon king...
One more immortal soul
Draw closer to the fire
One more companion in murder eternally.
One thousand years of song
With this unholy choir.
One fallen angel behaving infernally.
The only love that we have to give
Will still your heart like a cemetery.
Forever lost to forever live,
Be still forever, love...
I've been waiting, always waiting
I've been waiting, can you hear me
Meditating, meditating
Tired of waiting, don't you know
I've been drinking for days
Got the stag in the show
The weekend is near and I'm ready
Aspirations are high but the forms are low
Got to keep it up till I'm steady
One for crying, one for dying
Tired of crying, you'll know be just
I've been veering, disappearing
Tired of hearing, here we go
And now I'm truly inspired, and totally frying
I'm a master of everything and I ain't even trying
Sins of the father will shine on your darkest days
Why even bother with life, I know
Or if you'd rather open this amber vial
How many hours till life, I know
I know I know
The bottle tells me so
I know I know
The bottle tells me so
I know I know
Imitating, disintegrating is
Stimulating, I'm alive
Power steering, disappearing
Hard of hearing, just try
If you've got no future, you've got no friends
You've got no choice, you've got to rise again
Sins of the father will shine on your darkest days
Why even bother with life, I know
Or if you'd rather open this amber vial
How many hours till life, I know
I know I know
The bottle tells me so
I know I know
The bottle tells me so
Yeah, send your crowd to a foreign land
Baby, I got by and don't you understand
Took you home, your car I can't afford to buy it

Send your sons and your daughters to the prison sin

But get a flag in the bunch I will surely supply it

Live in fear till you call my name
And I sold you
And you're still playing my game
What's it gonna take to make you riot

Do you fear your God or your brother man
No God I know would ever take you in
Take your gun for your gun now it's time to try it
What's it gonna take to make you riot?
Look to me, is this a brand new fire
The killer of all produce all decay
I'm cutting the lights and cannot stay quiet
What's it gonna take to make you riot
Yeah I told you
Live in fear till you call my name
And I sold you
And you're still playing my game
What's it gonna take to make you riot
What's it gonna take
What's it gonna take to make you riot
What's it gonna take

You're gonna keep on paying 'cause you're all the same
This is the master's voice don't you dare defy it
What's it gonna take to make you riot
Yeah, swing of the ride, baby all the way
I'll be dancing with the devil I fear's my day
I sold my soul to any fool who'd buy it
What's it gonna take to make you riot
Yeah I told you
Live in fear till you call my name
And I sold you
And you're still playing my game
What's it gonna take to make you riot
What's it gonna take
What's it gonna take to make you riot
Insanity, you light up the world for me...
With a song in my heart and a gun in my hand,
Waiting for you,
With this secret I keep,
Where the sea meets the land,
Waiting for you all...
Waiting for the night to begin...
Almost in my sight, this fragrant wind.
The lifeless on parade...
Insanity, return to me,
I'm living in a fever dream.
I burn for you, you scream for me,
There's no one I would rather be right now.
Do you breathe like a man,
Is your life not your own?
Waiting for you.
Do you hunger for flesh,
Where it lives on the bone?
Waiting for you all...
Waiting for the night to begin, yeah, yeah.
Almost in my sight, this fragrant wind,
The lifeless on parade...
Insanity, return to me,
I'm living in a fever dream.
I burn for you, you scream for me,
There's no one else I'd rather be right now.
Insanity, you light up the world for me.
We rage and we kill, and we call it free will,
We believe in it still.
Insanity, you bring out the man in me.
This demon within, it's evil & sin,
Right under your skin.
Insanity, we all are the same, you see.
We fight and we fall, and never recall,
Take this sword from out my hand,
Return me to the motherland.
Day is night and duty done,
Now bear me 'cross the river.
Sands surrounds us, let it pass,
A storm within an hourglass.
We rise and fall, time takes it all,
We stand and we deliver.
Now I stand before you,
Riven by the choice I've made,
And driven by the voice I prayed
Would sing me home to glory.
Who among us knows the day?
Ours is but to pass this way.
In brotherhood we understood,
This battlefield my story.
Should I fall before you, I will feel no shame.
It is the price of war in blood and in flame.
Should you fall beside me, I will do the same,
Breathe you deep inside me, and carry your name.
Thrones, Dominions guide my way,
Deliver me another day.
Cloak me now in righteousness,
Your champion stands alone.
Day of mourning, day of wrath,
All fulfill the prophets path,
Death is struck, all nature quakes
Oh, Father take me home.
Now I stand before you,
Riven by the choice I've made,
And driven by the voice I prayed
Would sing me home to glory.
Who among us knows the day?
Ours is but to pass this way.
In brotherhood we understood,
Woke up behind the steering wheel,
Wonder if I've gone too far...
Quick shiver, cross against the light,
A curse from a cab in a strange tongue.
Leave my wheels, better let them rest.
The keys like ice in my shaking hands,
From the neon haze to the bar stool maze,
The nightlife, it sure is a strange one...
It's a son of a bitch, when I get that itch,
And here it comes again...
Please call me Whiskey Man,
When the bottle's in my hand.
Hello, it's Whiskey Man!
Another shot at my command.
Feel old but you say I don't look it, yet.
Work so hard trying to hide the miles.
A seekers path, I'm on the heels of glory.
All paths of glory only lead to the grave.
Sweet glory's dancing on yours,
She's always one step ahead.
Well I know that, I'm still ridin' anyway,
A mind is a terrible thing to save...
It's a son of a bitch, when I get that itch,
And here it comes again...
Please call me Whiskey Man,
When the bottle's in my hand.
Hello, it's Whiskey Man!
Another shot at my command.
It was a fine idea long ago, in a time of fine ideas,
When the August night would last into forever.
So we broke the glass and hit the gas
While the Summer filled the trees.
In the day, we two, we were breaking through,
And not dying by degrees.
Like I'm trying to say, wash it all away,
The clouds were gathering,
the sun moved out of sight.
Then came the rain.
Outside the city line
Into the darkened night
He came to claim
Into another town the people he could see
He could kill with a look from his eyes.
He is looking for you he is lookig for me.
Upon his devil horse his figure slips away
He hides from light
A phantom magic man from mountains black an grey
He rides with might
Another circus show another broken ride
He could fly like a bird in the air
He is coming for you he is coming for me.
Somewhere tomorrow.
Somewhere today.
From fields of sorrow
Through winds of change
Somewhere he'll find you, to steal your soul
His eyes disguised to, conceal his goal
Another circus show
Another broken ride.
He could kill with a look from his eyes
He is coming for you
He is coming for me
Somewhere tomorrow.
Somewhere today.
From fields of sorrow
Through winds of change
Somewhere he'll find you, to steal your soul
(Reale)
Passion and pleasure, It's always the same
Playin' with fire, it's a dangerous game
Turn back the lies, turn back the night
It's deep within me, a spell I can't fight
And you burn, in me
Just like fire on the ragging sea
Like a storm, from inside
Like thunder from a friendly sky
There's no escaping, that look in your eyes
Though I can see you, through your disguise
My souls in prison, I'm locked up in chains
No chance for release, you pour through my veins
And you burn, in me
Just like fire on the ragging sea
Like a storm, from inside
Like thunder from a friendly sky
-Solo-
And you burn, in me
Just like fire on the ragging sea
Like a storm, from inside
Like thunder from a friendly sky
And you burn, in me
Just like fire on the ragging sea
Like a storm, from inside
Like thunder from a friendly sky
You burn in me
Oh you burn
You burn in me
you burn
you burn
Feeling trapped i'll soon succumb
The hour strikes i'll turn and run
A piece of dream inside my mind.
I feel entomed i must remove
With depth of reason i should prove
give me trust for all is true
Only one, i enlist to follow on
From the dust all our ashes will be gone
That's right.
So i travelled on.
On into the darkened night.
Only you don't turn me down.
So i carried on, on into the dark and light.
Twist of fate is all i found. yea.
As i clean and dress my wound
The cast of blood and bone i lose
The penchant filtered thru the sky
Only fortune my mistake
soon to pay for vows i break
I'll search for solice deep inside
Only one, i enlist to follow on.
From the dust, all our ashes will be gone.
That's right
So i travelled on.
On into the darkened night.
Only you don't turn me down.
So i carried on, on into the dark and light.
Twist of fate is all i found. yea.
So i travelled on.
On into the darkened night.
Only you don't turn me down.
So i carried on, on into the dark and light.
I use my silence as a wall to keep me safe until i fall.
Hide from all uncertainty, that's right.
I crept onto your darkened cage
Awake all oyur primal rage
To find out what you want from me.
And so i wait, invision
all that i can state, citizens and all are freee yea
I'll keep fighting to the end
For my innocence defend
I've...lost all but everything from the fire.
I have seen, bad machine.
I'll use my conscience as a guide to change
My future you're implied, a bit of some insanity.
I strike a match near Kerosene to rid the eyes of fantasy.
No i'm never to be seen
And so i wait the future's forty years too late
Or somewhere there along the way yea
I'll keep fighting to the end
For my innocence defend
I've...lost all but everything from the fire.
I have seen, bad machine.
And so i wait, the future's forty years
Too late, or somwhere there along the way yea.
I'll keep fighting to the end
For my innocence defend
I've...lost all but everything from the fire.
I have seen, bad machine.
I'll keep fighting to the end
For my innocence defend
I've...lost all but everything from the fire.
I have seen, bad machine.
I've been looking in the mirror, i don't know what i'm tryin to find
I hope in time i see things clearer, yea.
I'm prayin' time will clear my mind.
Darkened visions in my doorway
Throw my heart upon the floor
The only lesson that obey.
Keep me comin' back for more
They say that love is so deceiving, like a picture on the wall.
It breaks my heart and leaves me grieving.
Gets me ready for my fall.
When you cut me and leave me still breathing,
leave me in time of need....well save me time to
Bleed....save me time to bleed
Tearin me up on the inside, you leave me crying out in pain
no more good it. Does me to hide, caus all my runnin's been in vain
You throw me down while i am sleeping.
Stick a knife right in my heart.
I can hear you softly creeping, it ain't overtill you start.
Then you cut me breathing, leave me in time of need
Save me time to bleed
You throw me down while i am sleeping,
Stick a knife right in my heart, i can hear you softly creeping.
It ain't over till you start
They say that love is so deceiving, like a picture on the wall.
It breaks my heart and leaves me grieving
Gets me ready for my fall, when you cut me and leave me still breathing
Leave me in time of need
Well save me time, save me time
To bleed...ha....save me time to bleed
Tied to visions there's something that's bringing you low.
Every morning the bastards are starting their show.
I can hear them cry for their lives.
but now all is lost here and now.
So i'm flying up upon... oh
On the wings of life.
This is all we could
Climb upon, yeah,
on the wings of life,
till forever is never... now.
Desperate measures have desperate directions indeed.
Find the answers to all that we will need. yea.
I can tell when you're lying or not.
But still all is lost, here and now only fortune alone...
On the wings of life.
Still we are climbing higher . yea.
On the wings of life, put the test to the fire... yea.
That's what i'm gonna do
Put the test to you... oh... yea... yea
I can hear them cry for their lives.
But now all is lost, here and now so i'm flying upon
On the wings of life
This is all we could climb upon. yea
On the wings of life
Till forever is never... now... yea
On the wings of life
still we are climbing higher, yea
On the wings of life
I hear the call when the sirens scream
Into the night where an angel waits for me
She's lookin' bad she's a killer machine
I say the word and she explodes into light
Blinding power and rage
Players run to the stage
Screaming wings fill the slivery sky
Rising on pillers of flame
And we ride thundering into the sky
And we ride
On wings of eagles we fly
Full alert she is hot for the game
I sense my enemy and fire is the warning I send
A dance of death swirling miles above the rain
While mortals sleep angels swear to defend
I salute you my friend
Unafraid to the end
Devil take the high most
To hell with the rest
Now let the battle begin
And we ride thundering into the sky
And we ride
On wings of eagles we fly
Come on get up get out...
(SOLO)
Heat seekers flash headed straight for your heart
One finds the mark and a fireball rocks the clouds
Men and machines sweet and deadly we are
We rule the wind on titanium wings
Plunging back from the chase
One more champion erased
I am the last and the plaster of my art
Until I am challenged again
And we ride thundering into the sky
And w eride
On wings of eagles we fly
Come on get up ge out...
And we ride thundering into the sky
And we ride
On wings of eagles we fly
Running hard from defeat to disaster
I fear no god and I serve no master now.
Pale as skywriting under the moon,
You shine so bright, but the time would not allow...
We were born to live - we were born to fly,
And fly we did, did we ever...
You were born to dance, you were born to fly,
And fly you did, did you ever...
For this to be, it was no to be,
Believed in you, believe in me.
To live in darkness and claim to see,
Believed in you, believe in me.
Ah, no,
This cannot be so...
Running hard from eternal December,
You can't regret what you don't remember now.
I will not stand by your grave side and weep,
You are not there and you do not sleep, I know.
We were born to fly straight into the wall,
And we broke on through to forever.
In the midnight sun we received it all,
But to darkness run, we would never.
For this to be, it was no to be,
Believed in you, believe in me.
To live in darkness and claim to see,
Believed in you, believe in me.
Ah, no,
This cannot be so...
I have run to the land of setting sun.
I for one still believe.
Not for none watch the whole thing come undone,
Nothing left but to grieve
I can wait for the tide to close the gate.
I can wait here for years.
Far too late we collide and then we wait,
Ashes anger and tears.
For this to be, it was no to be,
Believed in you, believe in me.
To live in darkness and claim to see,
Believed in you, believe in me.
Ah, no,
All is forgotten or stolen or sold
All that remains is a boy growing old
In the memory of something without a name
A thousand excuses for staying the same
Where is the fire that raged in his soul
Buried now in a deep dark hole
Forgotten like his story and your name
Hey Johnny, run and take my hand
I remember I am still your man
Another round and don't say when
Till we hit the ground and ride again
Nothing changes, nothing stays the same
Yeah, here is your box with lightning and dreams
Here's to the thunder, remember the screams
Of a thousand times twenty they call your name
No one's forgotten, they carry the flame
Waiting for someone to bring his soul home
A chunk in black leather a king in chrome
To save save the world and start it all again
Hey Johnny, run and take my hand
I remember I am still your man
Another round and don't say when
Till we hit the ground and ride again
Nothing changes and nothing stays the same
We kept all the pictures of good times and bad
You drove us all crazy the world drove you mad
I hear it inside you a gathering scream
A fire eternal and all that's supreme
Would you be king again just for a day
We live like worms or so they say
And then we never pass this way again
Hey Johnny, run and take my hand
I remember I am still your man
We're waiting now, we still believe
Do you have one ace left up your sleeve
If I leave I'll be dead by morning, if I stay it's all the same
Insane from a thousand sorrows, what's my name again? I don't know...
Past the graves of a million dreams, swallow all and fade away
What I do or I don't it seems damned all anyway - damned to hell
They called me a fool for my choice of career
I'm the winds of war that will blow you away,
Sure as I'm standing here.
Wings are for angels, wings are for angels
Try to breathe in this ancient wonder, golden days of history,
On spinning blades I'm the god of thunder, what's my name again? That will do...
Flyboys, they get all the glory, working men get what remains
Lost my soul when I sold my story
Here I go again, yes I know:
They call me a fool for my choice of career
I'm the winds of war that will blow you away,
Sure as I'm standing here
Wings are for angels, wings are for angels
Kill your brother if Allah tells you, I will kill what else remains,
For the money my country gave me, what's my name again? Now you know!
Once more to the fields of glory, damn the clouds and burn the sky
Lost my soul when I sold my story
Here we go again, yes I know:
I lost all my friends and I lost all my fear
Nothing left to die for, they told me today,
I'm staying another year...
Burn the night to fear the day.
Daylight comes and burns it all away
Just like the ocean haze,
So the last one thousand days.
Speak to God, I kneel and pray,
No reply, don't know that I am
Weaker, stronger, cannot say,
But older by a thousand days.
Crawling - keeps me - from falling...
Moving slow I make my way,
Another floor another day.
Never knowing what to blame,
From down here y'all look the same.
Pray the prayer to pass the time,
No time for reason, only rhyme
Will fill the page and light the light,
So the last one thousand nights.
Once upon a midnight clear
Miles of highway disappeared
Into the sky near Gemini,
If you're seeing double, close one eye.
Crawling - keeps me - from falling...
I have been there once before,
But the band played out of tune,
And I did not have a word to tell a story,
'til you saved me with a love so rare
As water on the Moon,
And I'm sorry, I'm sorry, so sorry...
I have been there once before,
But the music would not play,
Though I had a song and then I had a story.
Will you save me when the sun delivers
All another day,
Ride out
The king he proclaimed 'cross the land
Tonight we strike against the enemy to capture their flag
Cry out
The tears that they shed for their brave
Tonight they ride with will, intend to kill who stand in their way
Across the fields
They march
Their task must be done
But in the end they know that this war must be won
Fight or fall
In the name of the children
Fight or fall
In the name of us all
Fight or fall
We can never surrender
Fight or fall
In the night we stand tall
Rise up
Your swords for the souls you must save
Flashing of steel as your blades send them to their grave
Ride out
Ride proud from the battle where many have died
And when the last is slain its into the distance we ride
Across the fields
We march
Our task must be done
But in the end we know that this war must be won
Fight or fall
In the name of the children
Fight or fall
In the name of us all
Fight or fall
We can never surrender
Fight or fall
In the night we stand tall
(SOLO)
Fight or fall
In the name of the children
Fight or fall
In the name of us all
Fight or fall
We can never surrender
Fight or fall
In the night we stand tall
Fight or fall
In the name of the children
Fight or fall
In the name of us all
Fight or fall
We can never surrender
Fight or fall
Into the darkness that all men must face,
Within the brief hours, of your life here on earth.
Pain thrashed into his life, the great prince stood firm,
Behind his high and mighty shield, awaiting his turn.
Shield at his side, cloak across his breast,
His love and his life, they put him through the test.
Shine on, shine on, in all of your glory.
Shield all your fears, release all your fury.
Shine, shine on, through the darkness and the pain.
Shine, shine on, Warrior.
Shine, shine on, through the wind and the rain.
Shine, shine on, Warrior.
Shield at his side, cloak across his breast,
His love and his life, they put him to the test.
Shine on, shine on, in all of your glory.
Shield all you fears, release all your fury.
Shine, shine on, through the darkness and the pain.
Shine, shine on, Warrior.
Shine, shine on, through the wind and the rain.
So we waited for you to come home.
Riding high on your visions done
Touching darkness we wait by the sea.
Holding on desperatly.
Far from certain you, ride the serpent and, touch the Pillars of stone
Break the chains from the masters of game then you, rise your sword to the throne
Save us we cry from the mountains you fly it goes over and over again
Soon we will know when your armies they show and they fight by our side till the end yea.
Giving answers to questions you here.
Listen closely to those that you fear.
How i wonder wherever you are.
See you coming from far
Free your eagles trough, out the city who's, wings are battered and torn
On your crown is our bloody red gown holding, all your anger and scorn.
Save us we cry from the mountains you fly it goes over and over again
Soon we will know when your armies they show and they fight by our side till the end yea.
Far from certain you, ride the serpent and, touch the Pillars of stone
Break the chains from the masters of game then you, raise your sword to the throne
Save us we cry from the mountains you fly it goes over and over again
Soon we will know when your armies they show and they fight by our side till the end yea.
Around midnight he locked in tight to his frustrations, she told her tales
With all she could, that's right. He wasn't half as good at cold manitpulation,
But he just listened as he should yea.
You don't know, but it will show. you'll make a better man of me.
Queen, it seems you hold my heart within your hands
Queen, i mean you make me sorry, but you don't know.
Queen, i dream you made me bleed and just for show.
But you won't let me go.
She played hist heart she played his mind with every finger.
Untill he finally lost his soul yea.
He said a thousand times her captive rhythms still linger.
But she just crucified him cold
You don't know, but it will show, you'll make a better man of me.
Queen, it seems you hold my heart within your hands
Queen, i mean you make me sorry, but you don't know.
Queen, i dream you made me bleed and just for show.
But you won't let me go.
Queen, it seems you hold my heart within your hands.
Queen, i mean you make me sorry baby but you don't know. yeah
Queen, i dream you made me bleed and just for show
but you won't let me go.
Queen, i dream you made me bleed and just for show.
But you won't let me go
won't let me go baby.
Feels like you're tearin' me apart baby
Oh you made me bleed and just or show baby.
I'm travelin' in my car, I call my automobile,
Something's sayin', boy you got to go on.
I'm feelin' overdrive, you're sittin' at my side.
Can you hear my wheels begin to squeal ?
I can't go no more,
My foot's to the floor.
We'll be lucky to get out alive,
In overdrive, in overdrive.
I'm feelin' overdrive, you're sittin' at my side.
Can you hear my wheels begin to burn ?
I got my foot to the floor,
My hands on your clutch.
I'm gonna make my pistons pump,
Right through the roof.
I can't go no more,
My foot's to the floor.
We'll be lucky to get out alive,
In overdrive, in overdrive.
I can't go no more,
My foot's to the floor.
We'll be lucky to get out alive.
In overdrive, in overdrive.
Yeah, come on.
Oh, hit the highway,
And don't look back.
Ah, can you feel my hot rod?
Oh yeah, oh yeah, come on.
Oh shake me, yeah, come on.
Deep within the city, hidden in it's walls they hide the people
and the places far below
But they're strong enough and they're
hard enough to recify the anger in the minds of all subversive men who know.
Still there waiting far behind yea.
Soon he'll sound his call, then we'll stand or fall
Kings are falling destinies calling for this time, oh this time we will be free, yea.
Kings are falling destinies calling in my mind, in my mind i will be free yea, i will be free.
Darkened inner city, one by one they fall along the border of the places which they came.
Well we're mad enough and we're bad enough to seperate illusion from the madness all the faces look the same
Now they're waiting for his call.
soon we'll hear his cry, then we'll stand and fight.
Kings are falling destinies calling for this time, oh this time we will be free, yea.
Kings are falling destinies calling in my mind, in my mind i will be free yea, i will be free.
Now they're waiting for his call.
soon we'll hear his cry, then we'll stand and fight.
Kings are falling destinies calling for this time, oh this time we will be free, yea.

Down below, visions are calling you home
Where dark eyes glow, cities of crumbling stone.
So many people, turning their heads from fire
You'll never lose your desire, it's bringin you higher.
Oh your watching the signs, coming for you.
Oh your ready this time, running for the line.
Soon you'll know, your giving the best that you got
Soon it will show, the sun on your back beating hot.
One after one, your answers becoming your lies.
You'll never lose your desire, it's bringing you higher.
Oh your watching the signs, coming for you.
Oh your ready this time, running for the line.
Oh your watching the signs, coming for you.
Yes my father

Wounded heart

Blood and vengeance is all that i know
Brothers follow me
Now my people they bargain my soul
And turn their eyes away
They lost freedom that once made us whole
Now i hear them say
Wounded Heart

Take my hand together we'll fly

I been use i been abused for far too long.
I got my mind on lettin go.
Seventy years or more i'm paying for my crime.
What i've done i just don't know.
I did my time behind these wallls.
I hear the sound of freedoms call.
Running from the law, from the law
That's where i'm at baby
I took my chance i made my stance once and for all.
No more chains to hold me down.
I run and hide i will decide to never fall.
No more Kings to break my crown
Finally free no more to pay.
Your battered walls can't make me stay.
No more running from the law, from the law
From the law, from the law.That's where i'm at now.
No more running from the law, from the law, from the law, from the lw
Not the man i used to be, one more day i will be free.
i'm running so hard oh no that's right.
Oh no they ain't never taking me alive baby. That's right
[Outro]
Riding the white horse faithful and true
With the armies of heaven behind
His eyes were like fire, he wore many crowns
He suffered the pain for mankind
The i saw the besat and the kings of the earth
And their armies were gathered to fight
Into the lake of fire they fell
Storming the gates of Hell
Faithful we are
Blessed is he
The rightous ones we will defend
Armed with the sword and the wine of revenge
On the enemy we will descend
Then i saw businessmen, barons and whores
And a city was buiolt to their name
Intot he lake of fire they fell
Storming the gates of hell
I'm a vicitm of philosophy
Meanwhile in Babylon
Men lock their doors while merchants of death walk free
The minds of the weak and the helpless
Are so anshackled in slavery
There is no justice or mercy or peace
While cowards and fools rule the day
We'll risk our lives and our fortunes as well
Woman shed tears of Sorrow for their men so far away
With hope they wait for tomorrow - but in the night
They bow their heads and pray
They live by the sword and the gun
And now they march thru the darkness
The fire of freedom burns brught like the sun
Soldier
Fighting for liberty
With blood on your hands
You lead your command onward...to victory
Soldier
Thrashing across the seas
Mighty you stand
Defending the land
With a heart that's brave and free
Back home there's fear and hunger
Out in the streets
The desperate bleed
Out in this world there stalks a killer
Who's heart is filled with lust and greed
Soldier
Fighting for liberty
With blood on your hands
You lead your command onward...to victory
Soldier
Thrashing across the seas
Mighty you stand
Defending the land

[Drum Solo]
So we went one by one, flew through the sky
Suddenly mystery, fear in my eyes.
Should i, throw mayself away from the fight
Sould i , hide and stay out of sight
Run, hide my eyes from the sun,
wait till morning has come, should i run
Desperatlely, soon i see, some fall away
Calling out, helpless shouts, dying now they lay
How i, recify my soul, i don't know
Can i, hide inside this how, let me go
Run, hide my eyes from the sun,
wait till morning has come, should i run
Should i, pull myself away from the fight
Should i, hide inside and stay our of sight.
Run, hide my eyes from the sun,
Stop arresting my mind, finding the force in my eyes.
No use telling your lies, looking for safety inside.
I'm cotrolling me i've got hold of my life.
No use holding me steal the blood in my eyes.
No use forcing my arm to comply with your greed.
Sons of society.
You keep me satisfied - you keep me satisfying.
Scorned with compliancy no more to satisfy
I will comply with you. yea.
Formed in silence and war, subtle we move to destroy.
Give to you more and more, the massesare set to deploy.
Stop consoling me i've got hold of my life.
Stop patrolling me stealthe blood in my eyes.
No use forcing my arm to comply with your greed.
Sons of society.
You keep me satisfied - you keep me satisfying.
Scorned with compliancy no more to satisfy
I will comply with you. yea.
Sons of society.
You keep me satisfied you keep me satisfying.
Scorned with complaincy.
No more to satisfy i never will comply with you.
Sons of society.
You keep me satisfied - you keep me satisfying.
Scorned with compliancy no more to satisfy
There are ships upon the ocean
Through the morning mist and cold
Ride the wind to the new world
Lion hearts they sail so bold
In a vision i have seen this
Such a dream i can't ignore
What become of our children
When they reach the secred shore ?
Santa Maria
The world awaits your destiny
Santa Maria
Say a prayer for me
A man of faith, he is driven
Passion turns deep inside
Hope and courage dwell within him
As he watched the midnight sky
There are some who will forsaken him
There are those who wonder why
Though many people will embrace him
We remember and we cry
Santa Maria
The world awaits your destiny
Santa Maria

For many years my people walked this land on ehich i stand

Pontiac, gather xour men and meet me down below
Until they learn, they must pay with the seeds in life they sow
Holy Land
I'll fight you with this arrow in my hand
Holy Land
Running from the valley to the sand
Now get away, i'll slaughter all i find on this frontier
No more to say, no answer or excuses will i hear

I will not fall, not before your brother or your son

Running from the valley to the sand
On my way, i must erase your poison from this land
I'm here to stay, eradicate your seed with my bare hands
Holy Land

Road racin',
Movin' on down the line.
Shiftin' gears,
and time
Move so fast I can't
Hands on the wheel
road again
Baby
Radio's blastin'
Rockin' all night
Rollin' down the
Through the dead of night.
Road racin',
Feel the earth move under my wheels.
There
The chills you get from the turns and squeals.
On my way
Just let me know
Rollin' down the
With the
World's flashing by,
Past the smoke and the heat.
We're road racin'
kick it out now
Road racin,

[Instrumental]
When the sun goes down,
In this border town,
And a fear sets in,
And gets higher.
Down in the streets,
In the desert heat,
Ride seven men, with their hearts afire.
They ride through the town,
And it burns to the ground.
There'll be no vengeance, and greed.
'Cause they're the Restless Breed.
This outlaw attack,
They strike from the back.
Is just the revenge, that they need
'Cause their brothers they fell
on the wishing well
Now this town, will surely bleed
They ride through the town,
And it burns to the ground. and greed
'Cause they're the Restless Breed.
They'll take what they need,
Say good bye to your true love
One step further from me
I can't decide which way to take it
Stand alone and don't look back
Music is coming 'round the past
Take it, we'll all twist again
Once you find it, stay close behind it
You're still waiting, this time for me
Once we're playing, now we're praying
[Chorus:]
One step closer
One step closer
One step closer
Live fast, don't you talk trash
Someone's waiting right on your ass
Take it, this time we're gonna make it
Roaming round this time around
I guess you all know what's coming down
Take it
Once you find it, stay close behind it
You're still waiting, this time for me
Once we're playing, now we're praying
[Chorus:]
One step closer
One step closer

[Intro]
I heard you ccrowling across the floor
While the sun was scratching at my back door
I tasted the pleasure upon you're lips
And i saw the blood on your fingertips
Oh another night, another day
You sent my love someone else's way
You rocked and rolled while i walked the floor
What kind of fool do you take me for
Maryanne
You answered the call of the street again
Maryanne
The sidewalk's under your feet again, Maryanne
There's a time for war and a time for peace
A time or love and sweet release
I gave you twice what i asked you for
Well give it back, my baby, this is war
Fire burns and needle stings
And darkness closes on everything
I gave you love and i gave you life
Now you're trying to twist the knife
Maryanne
You answered the call of the street again
Maryanne
The sidewalk's under your feet again, Maryanne
Maryanne
You answered the call of the street again
Maryanne
I was sittin' on top of the world
Happy as a fool could be
Now there's a dark cloud overhead
I need someone to rescue me
You're and earthshaker
Dream maker
I'm crying out for a miracle cure
I know that you're the one for sure
Take me home magic maker
Take me home magic maker
Livin' hard
Livin' under the gun
Cross me and i'll make you bleed
Never knew what the good book said
My eyes were closed i could no see
You're and earthshaker
Dream maker
I'm crying out for a miracle cure
I know the one for sure
Take me home magic maker
Take me home magic maker
Take me home magic maker
I remember sudden distant sound
Guilt and leverage mark my way
I try to take myself a thousand steps from here
Somewhere something makes me stay
I recall a broken spirit traveling down the road
Never more his images have burned upon the floor, floor, floor
Let it out, the chains revolving in my mind, fight on
Tear it out, death is calling me this time
Draw the line, a simple man hands upon his stone
Spin his wheel for a dime
He sheds a tear of two and covers up his soul
He did not ever speak his mind
Rattle on, the masters keep him like a frightened dog
Battle scars, the fortune of his heart will kill us all, all, all
Let it out, the chains revolving in my mind, fight on
Tear it out, death is calling me this time
Draw the line, oh you feel like there`s nowhere at all
You feel you`re alone at the door
It`s alright you`ll see, yeah
Let it out, the chains revolving in my mind, fight on
Tear it out, death is calling me this time
Draw the line
Let it out, the chains revolving in my mind, fight on
Tear it out, death is calling me this time
Draw the line
Oh yeah, let it out, let it out
Running the cameras on what they are waiting to say
Fixing the picture to who you will gather and pray
Some will protest and some will defy in the night
Some will cry for an ending to come, waiting to let them selves go
Liberty, dying to set yourselves free
In your hour of darkness your fighting for freedom to be
Liberty, hurtling towards victory, from the gutters and gate
Posts your children are coming to see liberty
Controlling you mind, supressing your thoughts and beliefs
Crushing your senses conormities all that is real
Sound the call in the morning you march to the sword
paying prices for what you have done, wanting to let yourself go
Liberty, dying to set yourselves free, standing one and for all
You must sacrifice all that you see.
Liberty, hurtling towards victory
Only god will convince them for one is for all to be free
Liberty yea
Sound the call in the morning you march to the sword
paying prices for what you have done, wanting to let yourself go
Liberty, dying to set yourselves free
In your hour of darkness your fighting for freedom to be
Liberty, hurtling towards victory, from the gutters and gate
Let me know the feeling I have seen
Somewhere deep, deep inside a dream
Is it only in my mind, it`s only you
Till the end I felt like I believe
Something real, something I have feared
Loving you is all I had, only you
Never thought I would be true
Never thought it could be real
Never nothing left for me
I feel like I should say
Let me know, don`t you ever let me go
I`m losing you, you don't know how I feel
Let it show, don`t you ever let it go
I`m holding on to something that is real
Don`t you know it`s killing me
I`m losing everything I see
Is this all you wanted for us baby, let it show
Don`t you go, won`t you even let me know
I`m holding on, can`t you ever let it go
I`m losing you, there`s nothing left for me
Tell me why, why there`s nothing left to hide
I`m holding on, baby don`t let go
I can see, yeah there's nothing left for me
I`ll be holding on, won`t you let it show
a lasting memory
A thousand different dreams
I traveled over a golden rainbow
There's more I have to see
along country miles
find I need
sit so patiently
I ever find my lady
just a dream away
just a dream away
just a dream away
just a dream away
have all my boyhood memories
locked inside my dreams
Never knew this hard
really need
I'm standin' at the station
raincoat in my hand
lonely girls
headin' out to distant lands
just a dream away
just a dream away
just a dream away
Flashing lights above my head,
It's all that I can see.
Crashing clouds of smoke appear,
Sayin' come on, follow me.
Here we come again,
Ready to lose control.
The battle has begun,
The planes are ready to roll.
Fire's blazing,
All hell's broke loose.
Flaming swords,
From an electric noose.
Flying tigers above me appear,
Fly me away.
Get me outta here.
On and on and on,
We sing our battle cry.
We'll leave the cities far behind,
And that'll be (?).
Here we come again,
Ready to lose control.
The battle has just begun,
The planes are ready to roll.
Fires blazing,
All hell's breaking loose.
Flaming swords,
From an electric noose.
Flying tigers above me appear,
Get me outta here.
Get me outta here.
Here we come again,
Ready to lose control.
The battle has begun,
The planes are ready to roll.
Well, here we come again,
Ready to lose control.
The battle has begun,
The planes are ready to roll.
Here we come again.
Here we come again.
Here we come again.
Here we come again.
Here we, here we come again.
Here we, here we come again.
Here we, here we come again.
Detroit.
Here we, here we come again.
New York, and Chicago.
Here we, here we come again.
[Guitar Solo Mark Reale]
You know me you see
In your dreams so distantly
Remember what i said ?
I'll never let you go
Hold secrets deep and dark
My visions light the spark
Surrender all your fear
And take me by the hand
I've come a thousand miles
To watch you in the night
Now i won't let you go
I've got you in my sight
You feel me , you can tell
I've got you in my spell
Tonight i'll make you mine
I'll never let you go
I touch you with my eyes
You run but can not hide
I'll hold you in my hands
Then run into the night
So many times before
I've let you slip away
The time has come for more
This time i make you stay
I'm on the run
I'm on the run
So many times before
I've let you slip away
The time has come for more
This time i make you stay
I'm on the run
[Guitar Solo Mike Flyntz]
[Instrumental]
They say she's gone, gone forever.
Far away from the emerald shores.
I always thought, she'd leave me never.
Forsaken heart of Inishmore.
In the hills of galway, i'll wait forever more.
[Instrumental]
[Instrumental]
If you're lookin' for some action,
Runnin' against the tide.
Feel like causin' some destruction,
Spend some electric nights, on the danger line.
Fire down under.
Fire down under.
Flame and chrome, it burns the night,
Through your eyes, and in your mind.
Explode with savage thunder,
Hells gate, next up in line.
Fire down under.
Fire down under.
Fire down under.
I'm in the mood,
Rhythm feels right.
Gonna rock you babe,
I'm gonna do it all night.
Get your fire burnin',
Knock you off your feet.
I'm gonna rip it down,
Oh, turn on the heat.
We're gonna do it up.
We're gonna turn it on.
We're gonna do it up.
Oooh, gonna pour it on.
'Cause tonight's the night, the night,
We're gonna rip it up.
Let it ride, let it fly,
Set yourself free.
If you need a little lovin',
You just come and see me.
I'll make you feel so good,
I'll turn you on.
I'll keep you comin',
While I sing you a song.
Hey baby, I got a little song for you.

I was born on these Streets years ago I was the king
of the neighbourhoood Fast on my feet i was elite
I was the star of the show This task must be done - i
will not run I will not lay me down to die This war i
will win so let it begin Deep in my heart is a burning
fire... I can't let it go Alone in the night I know i must
fight for my home Time has changed the seasons And i
will go on with no reason I feel my life slipping away
These streets are getting colder And i am growing
older Tomorrow seems so far away What's
become of us friend we were one til the end Now i'm
alone in the streetlight gleam This town knew our
names but nothing's the same The places i played have
forgotten the dream I can't let it go Alone in the night I
know i must fight for my home Time has changed the
seasons And i will go on with no reason I feel my life
slipping away These streets are getting colder And i
Move out to the land of the burning sun
Where many nations stand as one
Push on through the cold and the icy seas
The smell of earth it follows me
In the darkness how i wonder what will i find on distant shores ?
I've heard stories about what lies upon the land
English blood it stains the sand
Father hear my cry
Ganna get my life
Gonna get my soul
Now i'll fall and die
Until my blood runs cold
Fight hard
I fall many with my blade m
any soldiers strong and brave
Fall down
Smash my body to the ground
No more comrades can i save
Through a field now i stumble
Try to hide without a sound
I see sohadows of the red man all around
Death awaits me if i'm found
Father hear my cry
Ganna get my life
Gonna get my soul
Now i'll fall and die
Until my blood runs cold
Someone hear me screaming
I pray i'm only dreaming
Oh god help me me when i'm found
Father hear my cry
Ganna get my life
Gonna get my soul
Now i'll fall and die
[Instrumental]
I awoke in the darkness
A ringing in my ears
In the cold and the silence
Feels like I've slept 40 years
Voices in the distance
Someone speaks my name
The sound of tears and laughter
Am I dead or insane?
I'm calling
No one can hear me
I'm calling
You know where I must be
C'mon let me out
You've got to set me free
Just to even hear
Ashes to ashes
Is that what he said?
More familiar voices
Lies about the life that I had
I wanna speak that I hear though
A realisation arise
A shovel strikes the earth above
I'm being buried alive
I'm calling
No one can hear me
I'm calling
You know where I must be
Hello! You've got to set me free
Doesn't anybody hear me
I'm calling
No one can hear me
I'm calling
You know where I must be
C'mon let me out
You've got to set me free, hey...
C'mon let me out, c'mon!

Nothing left for me to see but my sense it follows me
I feel I`m lost under the sun, I live in fear
But I won`t run, no I won`t run
No more praise for you at all it`s time for you to fall
I`m dealing with it, now it`s over
We give a pound and you want three, it`s time to make you see
Now I`m here to let you know
Look out, look out, ride the tide that`s rising from the sea
Look out, turn the tables over
I`m here to let you know that we are free, yeah
Ooh I`m here to tell you oh listen to me
Your deafened ears they fall upon, beg for mercy but get none
You left my people cold and tired, but anger grows within the fire
First there`s one and then there`s no more
See them coming off the shore
We`re dealing with it now it`s over
See the writing on the wall, it`s time for you to fall
A better man than you will say - look out look out
Rise the fire that`s burning into me, look out, turn the tables over
I`m here to tell you all that we are free
No more praise for you at all, it`s time for you to fall
We`re dealing with it now it`s over
Give a pound and you want three forced to make to make you see
Now I`m here to let you know
Look out, look out, ride the tide that`s rising from the sea
Look out, turn the tables over
A better man than you will set us free
Look out, look out turn the tables over
I`m here to tell you all that we are free, yeah
Look out, oh yeah, look out, no more fear
Pickin' me up, your tearin' me down
Like a fool on a mile drive
Sew my side with a dirty needle
Keep your live on the prize alive
Turn me out before you turn me in
Got my hand on a ready blade
Five more days till I meet the man
Gonna bow my head and say
I'm still alive, half a mile until I get away
Still alive, live to fight again another day
I've burned my bridge and I've done my time
Like a man on a magic ride
I'll find my way through a crowded street
I'm a devil in disguise
Get out of my way or I'll gun your down
Got no time for your alibis
I found the crown, now I'm out of town, never gonna die
I'm still alive, half a mile until the border line
Still alive, leave the scene and you won't do the time
I'm still alive, half a mile until I get away
I'm still alive, so I'll live to fight another day
I'm still alive, half a mile until the border line
Speeding through space, I'm falling to fast
The present is fading away
Twisted and lost, I'm far from my home
Just hours of air left to breath
Into the void, I plunge into blackness
This mystery cones to an end
Searching and screaming and desperately pleading
In minutes my death will commence
I can't let go
Nothing left to give me hope
Showering storms of fire and ice
I tumble from mountains of sand
My senses are dull, my body is weak
My ship is in destiny's hand
Blazing with fire I call to my god
Glory to thee take my soul
Save me from pain, or raise me from hell
My body is in your control
And I can't let go
Nothing left to give me hope
I just don't know
Nothing left that I can see
Shine, on your light, see me through
Shine, end this fight, come to you
Shine, in your sun, my last hour
Who's takin' time out
We'll take your shout out
We're the boys, we got nothin' to lose
I've had enough now of school stuff now
You ain't with us then it's just bad news
Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' off just like a hurricane
We can't wait from day to day
Cause we've got somethin' to say
We can't wait from day to day
Cause we've got somethin' to say
Come out on the street now
On every corner
Breakin' out and we're doin' what we wanna
Just like a jewel shines in the night
She burns so hot out under the street light
Only you can rock me, rock me
Come on back now, do it again
Only you can rock me, rock me
Kickin' off just like a hurricane
We are here and there's no end We'll keep on comin' again
Roll the dice or spin the dial, save a life or kill a child
Test the blade for residue, that's not all they found on you
Like a dying man, in a story book
The only think I want to know is who you are
I'll give you, a moment in your life to run
From all the different things you might not be
I'll let you, inside my confidence I know
And find a way to what you have become
Burn the cross or let it stand, is it a crime for half a man
I need to know
Build a bridge or tear it down
Only a king could wear your crown
Such a lonely page, in your story book
Now all I want to know is who you are
I'll give you, another piece of time to tell you
It holds the answers to your life
I'll show you, one more alibi to let you
Resurrect the pieces you have lost
Like a dying man, in a story book
The only thing I want to know is who you are
Tell me who you are
Remember what they told you
When you faced the burning sun
There was glory in your hands
You must be brave...
The mission must be done -
Or we will surely see the end
No need to fear
No danger can we find
Just turn away your face
And turn away your mind
Embrace the night
Wait for the shot to come
Don't turn your back and run
Nightbreaker
Explode in blinding light
Electric fires scorch the desert sand
Nightbreaker
Thunder in the night
Acid rain - it falls upon the land
Oh Nightbreaker
So many years have passed
But questions still remain -
If we search what will we find ?
Should we shed a tear
Or bow our hands in shame
Did we know or were we truly blind ?
Now the time has come
The power we must bind
This world will never be the same
We must be first in line
Marching out so bravely
Hero's one by one
Don't turn your back and run
Nightbreaker
Explode in blinding light
Electric fires scorch the desert sand
Nightbreaker
Thunder in the night
Acid rain - it falls upon the land
Oh Nightbreaker
Nightbreaker
Explode in blinding light
Electric fires scorch the desert sand
Nightbreaker
Thunder in the night
Acid rain - it falls upon the land
I was talkin' 'bout you,
Out on the street.
It won't be long,
Before we finally meet.
I played my cards,
And now my hand was all right.
And now I'm searchin',
But I don't see the light.
We had some action,
But it split, at the seams.
The situation had me,
Weak in the knees.
Now you look for me,
To hold you near.
I still need you,
So dry your tears.
I only wanted to be,
Loved by you.
Loved by you, and you.
Loved by you.
Loved by you.
You gave me f
All around in my brain.
Now just don't
I've got to feel it again.
My mind is achin',
And my body's afire.
There was a time,
You acted so refined.
There was
You could blow my mind.
Now I'm lookin',
At the way you changed,
Here we
the same old game.
I only wanted to be,
Loved by you.
Loved by you.
Building walls cities tall, just a moment over
Camouflage, hear them call, one more turn to sorrow
Tear it down, tear it down, then they will remember
Every kind has a crown, nothing left to send her
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know it does, I know it all falls down
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I know it will, I know it all falls down
Innocence, just the same, never stop to question
In the end, just a game, it's just no deception
Tear it down, tear it down, tear it out from under
Take a piece, look around, there's no time to wonder
Tell a few, tell them all, just in time to miss you
Kick the wall watch it fall, it's a crime to be true
You know my heart ain't feeling right
You walk these streets again tonight
I must be strong - but it's heard when you're away
Cause i know where you're going and the games that you play
Now these streets are growing cold
A fire burns tonight where love is gold
I'm a fool to believe in the simple things you say
I can't face tomorrow ; can't face another day
In your eyes
I see a fire burning
The hands of time keep turning - how long will you be mine ?
In your eyes
I see a life tomorrow
Filled with pain and sorrow - forsaken by the lies
in your eyes
Everyday just feels the same
Loving you is such a lonely game
In the heat of the night you hear me calling out to you
Words are spoken but your eyes show the truth
In your eyes
I see a fire burning
The hands of time keep turning - how long will you be mine ?
In your eyes
I see a life tomorrow
Filled with pain and sorrow - forsaken by the lies
in your eyes
In your eyes
I see a fire burning
The hands of time keep turning - how long will you be mine ?
In your eyes
I see a life tomorrow
Filled with pain and sorrow - forsaken by the lies

I remember it well,
Watching through the dead of the night
Think i have one in my sight
I'm torn in many ways
Being far from where i'm known
I'm alone
Crossing over one by one
I am just a ghost to some
Feel my spirit start to soar
One more hour and i'll be sure
Someone see me
Someone hear me
Someone bring me , back from where i go
Someone help me
Someone touch me
Someone tell me has my death begun ?
Surely soon i will discover
If i hear my fallen brother
Things have got to change
Life it cannot end this way
So i pray
Turn me loose on rock or slone
From this battlefield i'm thrown
Darkened visions start to grow
One more hour then i'll know
Someone see me
Someone hear me
Someone bring me , back from where i go
Someone help me
Someone touch me
My hands are always open, my ground is nearly shaking
Follow to each endeavor to bring my soul to closure
I find no certainly, my eyes can`t be set free
Essential enemies flowing through me, my life I see
My blood runs cold and darkened within my chemistry
I found my soul has sharpened the knives of life for me
I bring no certainly tomorrow end, I see
Essential enemies flowing through me, my life I see
My hands are always open, my ground is shattered still
The sound of silence shatters, my life a bitter pill
With my own certainly, testing my sanity
Tell me i'm crazy
I'll show you that maybe
Life is like a candle in the wind
We search for the rainbow
It seems that it won't show
But we don't worry about a thing
I'm not afraid of ever losing faith
Dreams do come true
This time the tide will turn for all to see
My dream with you
Destiny
Search for the rainbow
Endlessly - you don't know
Destinty
Seems like it won't show
Endlessly
You don't know
How many times
Right now i'll show you
The things you must go through
If you'll be kind enough to stick around
The headaches and heartdaches
Watch out for your own sake
Or you'll be buried six feet underground
I've sacrificed so much i can't turn back
Dreams do come true
I'll find a way to make it all seem clear
My dream with you
Destiny
Search for the rainbow
Endlessly - you don't know
Destinty
Seems like it won't show
Endlessly
You don't know
How many times
So head out and hold out
Except for your own doubts
There's time enough to find another way
Don't turn back or turn 'round
You'll be comming back another day
I'm not afraid of ever losing faith
Dreams do come true
This time the tide will turn for all to see
My dream with you
Destiny
Search for the rainbow
Endlessly - you don't know
Destinty
Seems like it won't show
Endlessly
You don't know
I remember the sign on the wall
Listen brothers your destiny calls.
So they left in the dead of the night
Forming armies our soldiers unite !
Sailing blindly, all around me, send them off to war.
Slowly rising, so suprising, thousand people or more
Sound the call to our country "come one and come all"
Cries of hypocrisy
filled with anger and greed
From the mouths that they feed
Letting people belive that they are free
Early morning the sun starts to shine
Bringing light to the dead and the dying
In the distance the cities still burn
Harsh resentment is all that we've learned
Some remember, gone forever, part of our history
We must question, every lesson, man's obsession and greed
Hear your cry for the dying but no one will see
Cries of hypocrisy
filled with anger and greed
From the mouths that they feed
Letting people belive that they are free
Some remember, gone forever, part of our history
We must question, every lesson, man's obsession and greed
Hear your cry for the dying but no one will see
Cries of hypocrisy
filled with anger and greed
From the mouths that they feed
Off in the distance the engines they burn, burning through the night
I`m heading for glory, it`s time to take flight, soon my people will learn
Now I fly, like an eagle, I`m starting to climb over
Suddenly, vengeance is all that I see yeah
Fire from the sky, fury from above
I`m an angel of mercy, a devil of love
Just watch us, we burn the sun
Fires are burning and many will die, glory calls to night
I flight with my brothers as one by their side onward towards the light
Heading in to smoke I am starting to see over
Let it be, the hour is coming to me, yeah
Fire from the sky, fury from above
I`m an angel of mercy, a devil of love
Just watch us, we burn the sun
Glory by my side, time to set me free
I`m an angel of death or a serpent of love
Just watch us, we burn the sun
Now I fly, like an eagle, I`m starting to climb over
Suddenly, vengeance is all that I see yeah
Fire from the sky, fury from above
I`m an angel of mercy, a devil of love
Just watch us, we burn the sun
Glory by my side, time to set me free
I`m an angel of death or a serpent of love
Just watch us, we burn the sun
Oh, it`s burning down baby, fury from above, oh
To my Head
It`s not my life, you set upon me all over I know
It ain`t right I`ve severed all connections that would grow
And in my life I`ve been around to know
Deep inside it`s your eyes that show, it goes right back to my head
I`m feeling something, it goes right back to my head
I feel you watching me, yeah, ooh I can`t run
A better man would suffer surely too, `cause you`re not done
Your love is like a bullet from a gun,
I turn around and I know your name never found but I feel your stare
It goes right back to my head, oh I`m feeling what you do
It goes right back to my head, oh there`s someone watching me
It goes right back to my head, I feel, oh I feel you watching me
It goes right back to my head, I can`t run, I can`t run
It goes right back to my head, you`re coming, you`re coming after me
It goes right back to my head, this ain`t right no more
This ain`t right, it goes right back to my head
Oh I know, I know, I know, I know it goes right back to my head
I can`t run, I can`t run, no turning back
Blinded, I give my true confession
Innocent I walk out on the floor
Finding, all of my oppression
Patronizing what you think is pure
Give me something, lay my hands upon the door
Only my sense of who you are, who you are
Is it yesterday, am I on my way
Just a picture on the wall
Sever all my ties, try to recognize
Just a memory, that's all
Blinded, caught in disillusion
Just a little light inside your eye
I've been dwelling in seclusion
Hiding from the demons in the sky
Only you, drag my heart onto the floor
Desperate my intentions are ignored, are ignored
Is it yesterday, am I on my way
Like a needle in my vein
Sever all my ties, try to recognize
Now I can't escape the pain
Now I'm lost inside, mirror by my side
Like an angel at my door
Broken alibis, try to recognize
I keep coming back for more
Is it yesterday, am I on my way
Just a picture on the wall
Sever all my ties, try to recognize
Patronize me, crucify me, throw me in your hole
Suicide see, can't control me, the only thing you know
Try to break me, try to make me, turn against my soul
Try to burn me, try to turn me, against the things I know
I know you, you're alive in the city, never bring me down
I'll turn you from pride to pity, your feet ain't on the ground
Down get down
Running from the man gonna keep me running
Now you've found
Never gonna get what you want from money
Down you'll see, alive in the city where the blind man see
Dawn this town, never gonna change your history
Classify me, pacify me, stab me with your smile
Try to hate me, desecrate me, keep me in denial
You're hesitating, I'm penetrating, deep inside your mind
Infiltrating, eviscerating, everything I find
I found you down in the city, now it is your time
I've damned you, and all you're pity, finished with your lies
Damn this town, never gonna lose your history
Classify me, pacify me, you'll see
Crucify me, patronize me, you'll see
Try to break me, try to make me, you'll see
Try to turn me
Down you'll see, living like a pig in misery
moon is black
Never turning back
walls
armor
ruins of time

wings of fire,

Wings of fire,

Wings of fire,
Hot rock and rollers,
Flash through town, tryin' to make some waves.
We'll have some wine, love some women,
Another night, another, show to do.
Outside snow is falling,
Some view, got to get the crew.
White rock, makin' me so hot.
I like the fever from white rock.
White rock, come on make it hot.
White fury, white rock.
Up all night, sleep all day,
Comes the action, when we start to play.
Music echoes from the high walls,
White rock, never gonna fall.
Outside snow is falling,
Some view, gotta get the crew.
White rock, makin' it so hot.
I like the fever from white rock.
White rock, come on make it hot.
White fury, white rock.
White rock, makin' it so so hot.
I like the fever from white rock.
White rock, come on make it hot.
White fury, white rock.
White rock, makin' it so hot.
I like the fever from white rock.
White rock, come on make it hot.
White fury, white rock.
was so much colder then,
My father was a soldier then.
And times were very hard,
When I was young.
I smoked my first cigarette at ten,
the girls (?) since then.
ball
When I was young
When I was young,
it was more important
much louder
When I was young.
I met my first love, at thirteen,
She was brown, and I was pretty green,
And I learned quite a lot,
When I was young.
was so much colder then,
my father was a soldier then.
Times were very hard,
When I was young.
When I was young,
It was more important,
but much louder
I can see you 'cross endless miles,
I can see your distant smile
Hangin' over
I'm a rover, living all over
follow
Give it time, think it over
Roll it over
It's only a matter of time,
only a matter of time,
Before I turn it.
Only a matter of time,
over to you, over to you, over to you, over to you
I'm a soldier, living by the rules
so cool
silly fool
I'm a sailor
seas, change directions
with every passing breeze
It's too late, my body's growin tired
To many of my brothers fall and die
I can't wait, soon i will be gone
Running from the land where i belong
Rain, falling on my shoulders
Rain, from the sky
Rain, i see tear drops falling down
Rain, where i die
I push on, my people on the run
How can i stand and fight against a gun
It's no use, this war is all i see
How can a man come on a land that's free ?
Rain, falling on my shoulders
Rain, from the sky
Rain, i see tear drops falling down
Rain, where i die
They're coming from another to turn me away
I'll stand up with my brother
I'll fight another day
Finished with your promisse
Finished with your lies
This land we won't surrender till every red man dies
Rain, falling on my shoulders
Rain, from the sky
Rain, i see tear drops falling down
Rain, where i die
You know it's gonny keep on running
Let it rain
It's gonna rain down, let it rain where i die
Somewhere she's waving at me
At the corner of the bar
But i find the distance too far
To have me get up and see
Could it be due to my smile
Maybe i'll just hang out awhile
[Chorus]
You're all i need tonight
Come on save it for tonight
You're all i need tonight
What you saying ?
Is the music up to high ?
Why don't you come come a little closer ?
Put my finger on your surprise
Your someone's ordinary dream
Just a dish of pure delight
Now if i can't hold my ground
Have someone bring my car around
[Chorus]
You're all i need tonight
Come on save it for tonight
You're all i need tonight
[Chorus]
You're all i need tonight
Come on save it for tonight
So you think you been workin' hard,
Givin' it all that you can,
And nothin' seems to make it better,
You're gonna scratch it for a whole new plan.
Street life, it ain't right,
When you feel you've grown apart.
You've gotta scratch and bite,
And punch and fight.
Take my hand, I'll lead through the night.
It's there, it's all there for the taking.
It's there, and it's waiting for you for the making.
Now your lastin', from day to day,
Well you're waitin' for the world to change.
You're just goin' through all of the motions,
While you're caught up on a mystery train.
No luck, ain't that tough,
You see it's all just a part of the game.
You gotta scratch and bite,
And punch and fight,
Just to be a part of what shall remain.
It's there, it's all there for the taking.
It's there, and it's waiting for you for the making.
Just waiting for the taking.

Oh yeah.
You gotta scratch and bite,
You gotta punch and fight.
Waiting, waiting for the taking,
Touch the hand of fate and you know, you can see the world

Step inside my fantasy and you will start to see.
All the strange illusions that i know
Eyes that cry with no tears to show, mouths that move but don't
speak.
I can help you to find, this world that you seek.
So we go, turning the hands of time, going on and on
Searching until we find, land of fantasy.
Close the doors of your confusion just let it slip away.
So alone we'll stumble though your memory.
One by one you'll learn of things that others will refute.
Understanding more will make you free.
eyes are wide but you can not see a flash of light in the dark
I can teach you to feel, a fire's first spark.
So we go, turning the hands of time, going on and on
Searching until we find, on until we find, believeing in all we see,

I can teach you to feel, a fire's first spark.
So we go, turning the hands of time, going on and on
Searching until we find, on until we find, believeing in all we see,
They all called her Tokyo, the boys know her as Rose.
The game is not a good one, it's the only one she knows.
Jet black hair, lipstick glowin' red.
Caviar and bourbon, goin' straight to her head.
When you lay your money down, she'll play her games
with you.
Don't gamble with you heart, she'll take it right from you.
She'll take you for a ride, with some wine and romance.
Gonna wind up face flat down, not a cent in your pants.
Tokyo Rose, Tokyo Rose, Tokyo Rose.
Back street crawler, is what she'll always be.
I can't live without her love, it's the cure for me.
Day after day, I was warned of the danger.
A little bit of love, give it away to strangers.
Tokyo Rose, Tokyo Rose, Tokyo Rose.
Tokyo, Tokyo Rose,
Tokyo, I wanna know, about you, Tokyo.
I wanna know, about you, Tokyo.
Tokyo Rose, Tokyo,
Tokyo Rose, Tokyo.
Mmmm, you sure are a strange one.
Hey, hey Tokyo.
Oh, never get too close.
Here the sound of all this silence
You're damned to hell if you don`t
Destination of the righteous
You break the spell, towards the light
In an empty room you sit alone and realize
You can`t believe yourself no more
I`ve been a thousand miles and more, so beautiful
I`ve killed ten soldiers with my sword to bring you to my knees
I can not wait no longer for you, we`ve past out last escape
There`s no way I can go on
I`m here to meet my end
Hell would be alright now
I can`t hide it anymore
Passing through the storm
I see my life and pass it by
I can`t complete my life and why I`ve battled armies
On the shore line of Corsica and more
I`ve knelt before the eyes of god and stumbled to his throne
We`re sailed the oceans of the world to sacrifice ourselves
And just to look into your eyes I`d give my very life
Passing through the storm
I see my life and pass it by
I can`t complete my life and why I`ve battled armies
On the shore line of Corsica and more
I`ve knelt before the hand of god and stumbled to his throne
I`ve sailed the oceans of the world to sacrifice my soul
And just to look into your eyes I`d give my very life
I`ve battled armies on the shores, oh I`d give my life
I`ve knelt before the hand of god, soul life
I`d give my very soul
I`ve sailed the oceans of the world, soul, soul life
All just to look into your eyes, oh yeah
I`ve battled armies on the shores, give my soul
This is what I get for loving you.
This is what I get for being true.
This is what I get, for taking all you put me through.
But I'd do it again, 'cause I'm still in love with you.
It's been a long time, since I've seen you,
And I'm longing for your touch.
You left me, without a warning, yes you did,
You know I, need you so much, so much.
This is what I get for loving you.
This is what I get for being true.
This is what I get, for taking all you put me through.
But I'd do it again, 'cause I'm still in love with you.
Then he came along, and he took you, right by surprise.
Now I'm alone, and I got those teardrops in my eyes.
I told myself, this would happen, many times before.
Now I find myself, looking at the world, face down to the floor.
This is what I get for loving you.
This is what I get for being true.
This is what I get, for taking all you put me through.
But I'd do it gain, 'cause I'm still in love with you.
This is what I get for loving you.
This is what I get for being true.
This is what I get, for taking all you put me through.
But I'd do it again, 'cause I'm still in love with you, yeah.
Do it again, 'cause I'm still in love with you.
This is what I get for loving you,
This is what I get for being true.
This is what I get for loving you,
Mesmerized, darkened skies, we set upon the seas
In the night, we can not wait, to hear the mystics pleas
Carry on, on through the mercy of night
Never wrong, hi power of sight
Oh see me, see me
Won't you just look in my mind
Oh help me, help me
Turn me away, from all evil I find
Desert sun, wind and rain, all is at your command
Nothing hides from your tortured eyes
The answers lie in your hands
How long we can find the will to survive
Hear my scream, am I alive
Oh see me, see me
Won't you just give me a sign
Oh help me, find me
Give me your hand, and tell me all that you find
How long we can find the will to survive
I'm tired of running, i'm tired of who i am
I've been obsolved from this prison which i stand.
I pray for freedom from everything i see
Somebody please set me free
Oh no i'm never looking back
No now i'm in for the attack
Here i stand, you know who i am, running for the highway
I'm the man
Here i stand, catch me if you can, burning down the highway
I'm the man,
I see your justice i watch your wicked ways,
steal their minds
and then you will betray.
You feed them silence and make them lose their will
freedom song running still.
Oh no i'm coming after you.
No now there's nothing you can do.
Here i stand, you know who i am, running for the highway
I'm the man
Here i stand, catch me if you can, burning down the highway
I'm the man,
Here i stand, you know who i am, running for the highway
I'm the man
Here i stand, catch me if you can, burning down the highway
I'm the man,
Here i stand, you know who i am, i'm running long
Here i stand, catch me if you can, coming after you
I've been running hard.
I've been running long.
So we waited for you to come home.
Riding high on your visions done
Touching darkness we wait by the sea.
Holding on desperatly.
Far from certain you, ride the serpent and, touch the Pillars of stone
Break the chains from the masters of game then you, rise your sword to the throne
Save us we cry from the mountains you fly it goes over and over again
Soon we will know when your armies they show and they fight by our side till the end yea.
Giving answers to questions you here.
Listen closely to those that you fear.
How i wonder wherever you are.
See you coming from far
Free your eagles trough, out the city who's, wings are battered and torn
On your crown is our bloody red gown holding, all your anger and scorn.
Save us we cry from the mountains you fly it goes over and over again
Soon we will know when your armies they show and they fight by our side till the end yea.
Far from certain you, ride the serpent and, touch the Pillars of stone
Break the chains from the masters of game then you, raise your sword to the throne
Save us we cry from the mountains you fly it goes over and over again
Brave and strong
Born of the lords
The eagle sees so far as he scars
The roots have spread out
The tree of great peace
The seeds of war grow strong in the east
Brotherhood
Show your sign
The long house
Brotherhood
Sound your call
The long house
Many stand proud,
Five nations and one
Blinded eyes they cry to the sun
Fallen and weak
Many will die
Hold my land and pray to the sky
Brotherhood
Show your sign
The long house
Brotherhood
Sound your call
Dirty city, dirty games,
Dirty women, dirty shames.
The life that you lead,
The chance that you took.
A shadow in the night,
On the line, you're hooked.
If you see us comin',
Don't you, run the other way.
Swords and tequila,
Carry me through the night.
Swords and tequila,
Carry me through the fight.
Swords and tequila,
Carry me through the night.
Swords and tequila,
Carry me through the fight.
Wait for the night to fall,
To plan their attack.
Fightin' songs, on parade, they march.
An army in black.
Killers without a cause,
Rebels with no name.
City's gone to the underground,
Caught in a deadly game.
If you see us comin',
Don't you, run the other way.
Swords and tequila,
Carry me through the night.
Swords and tequila,
Carry me through the fight.
Swords and tequila,
Carry me through the night.
Swords and tequila,
Carry me through the fight.
And I just don't mean kickin' ass.
If you see us comin',
Don't you, run the other way.
Swords and tequila,
Carry me through the night.
Swords and tequila,
Carry me through the fight.
Swords and tequila,
Carry me through the night.
She had some strange ideas about living
Just wasn't part of the game
She had some loving she knew she couldn't part with
Boys would never be the same
My innocent lady, she had the guts
Put it all an me from the start
Kisses they burned like fire
Found an easy way to my heart
[Chorus]
Struck by Lightning
Love is alive, i feel it tonight
Struck by Lightning
Your magic touch makes me seem so
I told her ...
gimme a call, drop me a line
Gotta see you again
So day into night and night into day
A sad way thru my fall to train
My innocent lady, she had the guts
Put it all an me from the start
Kisses they burned like fire
Found an easy way to my heart
[Chorus]
Struck by Lightning
Love is alive, i feel it tonight
Struck by Lightning
Your magic touch makes me seem so
Struck by Lightning
Love is alive, i feel it tonight
Struck by Lightning
Silent Screams
As they tear them apart
Take a life, sell your soul
The selfish need of a selfish heart
makes my blood run cold
In a world of selfdestruction
Where the truth is rarely seen
Next stop for the modern man
A human suicide machine
See the light in the sky
Choose to live or die
Oh the time it draws near
Stop the screams i hear
We raise our fists in anger
Don'T fool with or destiny
And silent screams are growing
We raise our fists in anger
Please stop this human tragedy
It's a cold wind that's been blowing
Reckless Hearts - Desperate souls
They pass the blame and wash their hands
Behind the walls
The blood will flow
And curse the promised land
Cry for mercy in the night
Why can'T they try and understand ?
There's no one telling them wrong from right
It's murder on demand
See the light in the sky
Choose to live or die
Oh the time it draws near
Stop the screams i hear
We raise our fists in anger
Don'T fool with or destiny
And silent screams are growing
We raise our fists in anger
Please stop this human tragedy
It's a cold wind that's been blowing
We raise our fists in anger
Don'T fool with or destiny
And silent screams are growing
We raise our fists in anger
Please stop this human tragedy
Oh god what have i done ? In the shadows on the dark
side Neath the skies of crimson doom In the streets i
hear the wind cry Evil sings the devil's tune On your
knees and pray for mercy Let god hear us on this day
Or in the acid rain our bones will lay Oh cry cry for a
world that's torn Cry for a child unborn For it's the
sign of the crimson storm Desperate people in the city
Foolish games of greed and wealth On themselves
they have no pity They are victims of themselves
Gotta make you pay for mercy Let god hear us on this
day Or in the acid rain our bones will lay Oh cry cry
for a world that's torn Cry for a child unborn For it's
the sign of the crimson storm Oh god what have i done
? In the shadows on the dark side Neath the skies of
crimson doom In the streets i hear the wind cry Evil
sings the devil's tune On your knees and pray for
mercy Let god hear us on this day Or in the acid rain
our bones will lay. Oh cry cry for a world that's torn
Cry for a child unborn For it's the sign of the crimson
storm Oh cry cry for a world that's torn Cry for a child
Girl, I've known you for a long time,
So many times, you made me out the fool.
They say love is blind,
Babe, I'm too blind to see,
And now it's a showdown,
Between you and me.
Showdown,
I can't take it anymore.
Showdown,
Now I'm walking out the door.
I've done my time,
Now I've got better things to do.
Now it's a showdown,
Between me and you.
Now you've got me spinnin', round and round.
I can't tell which way I'm turning.
I've been the fool,
And you've been so cruel.
Now it's a showdown,
Between me and you.
Showdown,
I can't take it anymore.
Showdown,
Now I'm walking out the door.
I've done my time,
Now I've got better things to do.
Now it's a showdown,
Runaway, all alone, on these streets you call your home
Fade to black, painted smile
On these streets there cries a wounded child
On the run, shadows always falling
It's a high price that you pay
Runaway
This life that you choose
Leaves a burning in my heart
Runaway
It's a game that you lose
It can tear my soul apart
You're a Runaway,
You're a Runaway
Runaway, all alone, turns the corner toward a telephone
Pik it up, then call my name
Tell me when you want to end this game
On the run, shadows always falling
It's a high price that you pay
Runaway
This life that you choose
Leaves a burning in my heart
Runaway
It's a game that you lose
It can tear my soul apart
You're a Runaway,
You're a Runaway
You're a runaway, and you're harder than stone
You're a runaway
But are you woman enough not to be alone ?
You're a runaway, you gotta an angry heart
You're a runaway, and when you're ready baby
I'll let you finish what you start
Runaway
This life that you choose
Leaves a burning in my heart
Runaway
It's a game that you lose
It can tear my soul apart
You're a Runaway,
I see trouble coming,
Trying to change my ways.
Take a little piece of me,
And squeeze what blood remains.
Joke and jive, and fool you,
Slip that sugar past your nose.
Hope when all is said and done,
You'll slip on an overdose.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
Who is it that they're fooling?
Not this mothers son.
I'm screaming out for someone,
Whose life ain't on the run.
I know what you're looking for,
Just can't get enough.
Trapped inside a caged mind,
Playing it ready, and rough.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
You better run, run, run.
You better run, run, run.
You better run.
Yes you have my loving,
All your dirty tricks.
When you proved, you left a scar,
And now I want my licks.
You're a victim of blind disease.
All the tears won't help you,
Cause I want you on your knees.
Run for you life.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
Run for your life.
Run...
YOUR
Rolling thunder, feel my fears come alive
Stop and wonder, how many people must die ?
I've gone away, far away, to this misery
Help me, someone set me free
Run hide
coming after me
Run hide
On to albany
Hungry army, brothers Iroquois
Lonely party, fighting down in troy
Long ago, so far away
Driving westward shores
Help me, someone hear me say
Run hide
coming after me
Run hide
On to albany
Run hide
Coming after me
Run hide
Say hello to the city life,
Say hello to your dreams.
Say hello to the candy man,
Say hello to your rock 'n roll queens.
The painted ladies of the evening,
Will show you what you wanna see.
For a dime or a dollar,
Well, you can ride in a limousine.
Rock City, Rock City,
See what you wanna see.
Rock City, Rock City,
Be what you wanna be.
Rock City, Rock City,

Rock City, Rock City,
Be what you wanna be.

Well all the fancy cars, and all the funky bars.
Feel the fire burnin' under your feet.
When the smoke clears honey, you ain't got no money.
Then you'll start to feel the heat.
Rock City, Rock City,
See what you wanna see.
Rock City, Rock City,
Be what you wanna be.
Rock City, Rock City,
See what you wanna see...oh my god !
Rock City, Rock City,
Be what you wanna be...yeah, yeah.
From the far north eastern wall
To the asian planes
Son of Jah runs the morning call
And all the children came
Running hiding from reality
Sudden winds of change
hear the sound of your refrain
Oh no, red reign coming over me
God knows, god knows how they lie
Oh no, all the pain that should never be
Red reign
God knows how we try
Summer blood washes through your tears
From the sacred square
They deny you through all your years
innocence shared
Coming over what i's got to be
Got no one to blame
Hear the sound of your refrain
Oh no, red reign coming over me
God knows, god knows how they lie
Oh no, all the pain that should never be
Red reign
God knows how we try, oh we try
Running from reality
Sudden winds of change
Hear the yound of your refrain
Oh no, red reign coming over me
God knows, god knows how they lie
Oh no, all the pain that should never be
Red reign
Down below the border,
He robbed a bank in Mexico.
Half crazed on tequila,
He had a, half million in gold.
There's thunder in the ground,
And he could hear the sound.
A showdown in the distance,
They're gonna ride him down.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.
When he gambled with women,
He kept an ace up his sleeve.
He always got what he came for,
He never played it clean.
Then he was blinded by passion,
Playing a game of fools.
Thought she was lucky,
Thought she was his best bet,
Guess you find out when you lose.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
The outlaw's got no deal.
Bet your life on the silver ball,
Spin it, 'round the wheel.
Will it land on the black or the red?
A slave to indulgence, a slave who obstains
A slave to your pleasure, a slave to your pain
A slave to a business, a mistress, a wife
Slave to the bottle the needle or knife
An accident of birth or a spin of the wheel
Select your next master and feel how it feels
On your knees
Into the night that you'll never remember
On your knees
Bow to the crowd of a thousand oppressors
Ensalved by the dealers or the jun kies themselves
Ensnared by self pity or the sweet lie of wealth
Afraid to stop running or frozen in place
Afraid to begin or finish the race
Awake from the drugs or asleep from the wine
The doors are all open, they close from behind
On your knees
Into the night that you'll never remember
On your knees
Bow to the crowd of a trhousand oppressors
On your knees
Into the night that you'll never remember
On your knees
Bow to the crowd of a thousaand oppressors
Oh, awake from the drugs or asleep from the wine
The doors are all open, they close from behind
Whatever you choose there's a suicide clause
You die of neglect or you die to applause
On your knees
Into the night that you'll never remember
On your knees
Bow to the crowd of a trhousand oppressors
On your knees
Into the night that you'll never remember
On your knees
Bow to the crowd of a thousaand oppressors
I'm feeling, just feeling,
Seems like it's all inside.
No meaning, no grieving.
Just the way that I can't hide.
I'm praying, she's saying,
No reason for me to disguise.
Love's waiting, and I'm taking,
So sorry, I tell no lies.
No lies.
Tell me no more lies.
No, no, no.
No lies.
Tell me no more lies.
Still trying, was crying,
Can you see, without open eyes?
Love's going down, to a place,
Where we can break our ties.
I'm praying, she's saying,
No reason for me to disguise.
Love's waiting, but I'm taking.
So sorry, I tell no lies.
No lies,
Tell me no more lies.
No lies,
Tell me no more lies.
No lies.
Tell me no more lies.
No lies.
No, no, no.
Tell me no more lies.
Just a stranger passing thru town
Long fays ago, i feel so alone
BUldings around stand tall and gray
Staring down as if i'm their prey
In a rush of my mind i remember yesterday
[Chorus 1]
Misty morning rain
It blows in your eyes
You can't feel the pain
Misty morning rain
It blows in your eyes
You won't feel the pain
Misty morning rain
All the pleasure, all the pain
Dreams of you is what keeps me sane
Every morning by the river walk
Into the night as we let them talk
All my yesterdays is what keeps me holding on
[Chorus 2]
Misty morning rain
Dreams of you
What keeps me sane
Misty morning rain
It blows in your eyes
You can't feel the pain
Misty morning rain
[Chorus 3]
Misty morning rain
It blows in your eyes
You can't feel the pain
Misty morning rain
Dreams of you
What keeps me sane
Misty morning rain
It blows in your eyes
You can't feel the pain
We climb aboard the eagle made of steel
Get ready for another flight
Another town, another city will appear
Through the darkness of the night
A flash of light
There's thunder on the way
The stage ignites when we play metal soldiers
And we're marching through the night
Metal Soldiers
Clenching fists of metal might
Out on the road, the battle has begun
And we plan our strategy
Cross fields of fire beneath the burning sun
Onward to our victory
A flash of light
There's thunder on the way
The stage ignites when we play...metal soldiers
And we're marching through the night
Metal Soldiers
Clenching fists of metal might
It's in our hearts, and deep within our bones
A passion no one can deny
Get on your feet, lord you know you're not alone
Let me hear your battlecry
A flash of light
There's thunder on the way
The stage ignites when we play...metal soldiers
And we're marching through the night
Metal Soldiers
Clenching fists of metal might
Can u feel it ?
Metal Soldiers
Clenching fists of metal might...metal soldiers
And we're marching through the night
Metal soldiers
Clenching fists of metal might
This town has no mercy
When you're on your own
When there's no one close to you
No place to call your home
In the back alley shadows
My body yearns, the pain it grows
A needle holds the solution
Feel the sting no let it flow
A dangerous game - no place to hide
I'm looking for you to keep me satisfied
Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore
I need a shot of satisfaction
My body aches - my blood runs cold
I need a killer chain reaction
That's gonna rock me to the bone
I'm burnin' inside - i'm under the gun
You got what it takes - you know you're the one
Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
A spell that you cast for evermore
A dangerous game - no plave to hide
I'm lookin' for you to keep me satisfied
Medicine man
You hold the key - unlock the door
Like a knife in your hand
The tearing hand of plunder seem to burn into my soul
I`ve learned enough to wonder if I`ll ever gain control
You infiltrait, you desacreate the bodies of the one
Who testifies to others of the damage you have done
You never understand, there`s darkness lying at your hand
The hour glass it stands alone for me to see
Oh I`m lost inside this world
I`m feeling so confused
I can`t believe, I`m sentenced here to die
The desperate hands of fortune seem to gather all around
To wait inside the darkness just to see what I have found
You never understand, just a lonely dying man
The hour glass it stands alone for me to see
Oh I`m lost inside this world
I`m feeling so alone
I can`t believe, I`m sentenced here for life
Just a broken man, I see the hands they turn for me
The hour glass it stands alone for me to see
Oh I`m lost inside this world
I`m feeling so alone
I can`t believe, I`m sentenced here for life
Just a broken man, I see the hands they turn for me
The hour glass it stands alone for me to see
Oh I`m lost inside this world
I`m feeling so alone
I can`t believe, I`m sentenced here to die
Oh I`m lost inside this world
I`m feeling so confused
I can`t believe, I`m sentenced here to die
Here I lie, oh oh I can hear you, I can see you
eyes that are black as the night
as soon as I smell blood, I strike.

Hiding in shadows,
Cast by the moon.
Mobsters are waiting,
Inside the saloon.

And into the sea.
I have spies all over town.

"Cause this man ain't foolin' around.
No way !

I'm a loanshark,
I need a reason to be cool for a little while
A bitter pill that ain't to hard to swallow
You got me runnin' like a hot wired Cadillac
A chrome-plated victory - delicious and hollow
Since you came into my life
You said you'd been invited
Little miss death
You're a vision in silver and cellophane
I'll lick the blade and you'll feel the pain
Till i can't remember my name
Tonight you're looking like a catclub cocktail
All spillin' out in your neoprane teaser
You're burning up just like this number in my pocket babe
Tequillas' tellin' me to shut up and squeez her
You got me frozen in my place
A cold cunning razor-boy
Decides be a pretty face
Little miss death
You're a vision in silver and cellophane
I'll lick the blade and you'll feel the pain
Till i can't remember my name
Too drunk to live - too young to die
That was our battle cry our alibi
Little miss death
You're screaming delightfull young Jezebelle
I'll pain your name across the gates of hell
I'm feeling like I'm caged, I've got to live
There's someone on their way
I'm guessing that I'm brave, but still I give
The devils has his day
I'll tear it up, I'll tear it down alone, that's what I feel inside
I look behind the corners where I go
I can not close my eyes
You see what you wanna see
You feel what you wanna feel
There's someone at my door
Who's that knockin' at my door, knockin' at my door
Who's that knockin' at my door, knockin' at
It stepped inside my mind and it won't leave
The images I see
I can't confuse the messages I read
There's someone haunting me
You hear what you wanna hear
You know what you wanna know
There's someone at my door
You see what you wanna see
You feel what you wanna feel
I am the living end, i have the touch, the last man on earth
I am your only friend, that ain't saying much
I think you know what it's worth
I've got things to do, people to be, i'm a man on the make
You want to stick around, that dont bother me
Long as you got what it takes
You know my name, you've seen the writing on the barrom wall
I'm still the same
A little stronger, a little faster Half demon, half disaster
He's a killer
When i walk in the door the men drop their drinks
And the woman drop their pants
Ooh man don't get up; what are you thinking ?
We didn't come to dance.
You see the boys and me don't need company
Whatever we want we'll take
We're just looking for thrills, boredom kills
Just want to see you shake
You know my name, you've seen me coming in the mirror
I'm still the same
A little older, a little wiser, a solitary surpriser
He's
I'm the killer
Here's a couple a grand, baby light up
Whatever is mine is ours
I got three or four in a bag in the trunk
That's the privilege of Power
You want love, lust, money, a room with a view
I'll give you everything a love can steal
Come on baby, I'm talking to you
Yeah, it's time to make a deal
You know my name, you've heard me screaming on the radio
I'm still the same
A little sharper, a little cuter, created by computer
He's
I'm the killer
You know my name, you've seen it panted on the
subway doors
I'm still the same
A little darker, a little thinner, i'm gonna have you for dinner

For huron blood we ride

Into the night, we as one are free

War burning bright glory calling me

Thundering down from the mountain you ride
Clutching a sword made of steel
The ones you call friends they all left you for dead Alone on the
battlefield many were at your command Renegade
souls on your command Holding each life in your hand
Living for all and for one Shining into the night you
are riding Through the darkness and light you are
flying with the wind in your hair The flight of the
warrior Drunk with revenge from winch on one can

Renegade souls on the run Holding each life in your

you are riding Through the darkness and light you are

warrior Thundering down from the mountain you ride
Clutching a sword made of steel The ones you call
friends they all left you for dead Alone on the
battlefield Many were at your command Renegade

Living for all and for one Shining into the night you
are riding Through the darkness and light you are

All alone, sitting inside now,
Are you waiting for me?
I'm feeling just a little bit slower,
Than I usually seem.
If I'm gonna take some chances,
Will you still remember me?
And in the end, from the haunted dreams,
You might find, what you really need.
You find what you need.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
When you reach the forest,
Which way, does the wind blow the trees?
Does the wheel inside you,
Turn like the wheel in me?
I can't give you no answers,
To the questions, that you've got.
I feel that things been missing,
And this time I gotta take the shot.
I'm gonna take the shot.

You don't know what I'm going through.

Feel the same,
You don't know.
Feel the same,
Tokyo Rose, she knows!
Feel the same,
Tell me how it feels.
Tell me all your dreams,
How you want your love to grow.
We'll sail across the ocean,
There's so little that we know.
City streets,
So full of people, talkin' aimlessly.
Gotta climb above it all,
To a rainbow you can see, yeah.
Don't hold back,
There ain't no place to hide.
Don't hold back,
There's a place, right by my side.
Don't hold back,
There ain't no place to hide.
Let me be the crystal ship,
To a diamond sky of love.
Don't hold back.
From a corner of the sky above,
We'll watch the days go by.
People going nowhere fast,
Puts light, in a weary eye.
I'll love you baby,
Give you all the love I've got.
Keep you cool from the sun,
Dry from the rain,
If you're cold, I'll make you hot.
Don't hold back,
There ain't no place to hide.
Don't hold back,
There's a place right by my side.
Don't hold back,
There ain't no place to hide.
Anytime you see,
The one you really need.
Go on find the time,
Go on, let it shine.
Don't you remember?
Tell me all your dreams,
How you want your love to grow.
We'll sail across the ocean,
There's so little that we know.
Don't hold back,
There ain't no place to hide.
Don't hold back,
There's a place, right by my side.
Don't hold back,
There ain't no place to hide.
Let me be a crystal ship,
To a diamond sky of love.
You took my money, baby, you steal my cigarettes.
First chance I get, I'll be up and jet, I'm gone.
You beat me up, you threw me out,
You killed my dog and cat.
The "Ken-L-Ration" is yours,
I want the "Friskies" back.
Ooooh, don't bring me down.
Ooooh, don't bring me down.
No, no.
You took my car, for just one night,
Out to cruise the scene, that's what you told me.
Now the engine's gone, the tailpipe's bent,
My 8-Track's playin', Spring-st-st-steen.
You call me a wimp, you say I'm a chump,
Well your face is bent,
And you smell like gorilla dump.
Ooooh, don't bring me down.
Ooooh, don't bring me down.
No, no, no.
Hear what I said, hear what I said now?
Ooooh, don't, don't, don't,
Ooooh, don't bring me down.
No, no.
Ooooh, don't ya bring me down.
Ooooh, don't ya bring me down.
Ooooh, don't ya bring me down.
Been on the road for fourteen days,
Got six more left to go.
The rain is pounding down on my hood,
I got a heavy load in tow.
You been so cruel to your lover boy,
Had to get up, get away.
Don't need your lovin', don't want no babies,
I've had my thrills for the day.
Desperation roll me,
I'm rollin' over to you.
Desperation roll me,
I'm gettin' closer to you.
Been on the road for fourteen days,
And I ain't got a shirt to show.
The heat is pounding down on my back,
What a heavy load I tow.
Desperation roll me,
I'm rollin' over to you.
Desperation roll me,
I'm gettin' closer to you.
Desperation roll me,
I'm rollin' over to you.
Desperation roll me,
I'm gettin' closer to you.
Yo Serj, pass me that lighter
Yeah... yeah, yeah!
Flowers, smiling through the battlefield!
The break is over man, I'm back with the ink pen
Like Ali bomaye okay I'm on my second wind
Used to roll dice when the luck was on my side man
Four-five-six, walked away with a grand man
Seen many blocks turn to the Twilight Zone
D.A. on the case like Sherlock Holmes
My old high school sweetheart started sniffin a bone
For the right bag she deep throat, deeper than a baritone
I caught you off guard, this verse is unexpected, check it
Like when I rhymed on Big Pun's record, check it
I got a swagger that cut any rapper mind over matter
Lyrical dagger like alcohol I'm bad for your liver
Quiver, shiver body temperature get found in Hudson River
Deliver a message to your miss you won't be comin over
And if you on the street tonight, see that ReFugee logo
We beam around the world like satellite
It's them hip-hop boys, turn your radio down
It's the rock 'n roll boys, turn your radio down
It's them reggae boys, turn your radio down
Neighbors mind your business
It's a riot again! The world is getting nervous
So we travel again! Main journey's the unconscious
It's a riot again! The world is getting nervous
And so we travel again! Main journey's the unconscious
Come rooooooooock with me~!
I got the music on the block with me
Come chill on the spoooooot with me
And just laugh in spree
Yeah you're right, we got enough for everyone
So get all your friends and your families and come along
Move to the beat that's all we do we got Jerusalem
Everyday we offer praises like King Solomon
Ain't gon' hurt ye, don't be nervous
I'm your guardian angel, know you purpose
And if I look at you low, if I should make it
Believe me, I leave you, show you how to make it
(Hung up high, in the M-I)
(Double-S-I, S-S-I)
(P-P-I, three-piece tie)
(Wanna see me die so the heavens they cry)
It's them hip-hop boys, turn your radio down
It's the rock 'n roll boys, turn your radio down
It's them reggae boys, turn your radio down
Neighbors mind your business
It's a riot! Riot! Riot! Riot!
From the train to the plane, security check
From the bridge to the tunnel, security check
It's a riot again! The world is getting nervous
So we travel again! Main journey's the unconscious
It's a riot again! The world is getting nervous
And so we travel again! Main journey's the unconscious
I was down in Texas; drivin wreckless
Police stop me, axe me for my license (oh yeah)
Registration so I played him some Elvis
He let me go, then I lit off the chalice
I said if things don't change, we headed for the Arma-ged-deon
And the great dragon with seven head, ten horns, at the Arma-ged-deon
Listen to the choir children
The matterings of all matter
Masters and their extended batters
Internet intelligence for investments for the natural world
Their divestments; truth is knowledge
Although bi-polar if it's attainment is equitable
Man's mirrors face the flesh but hide the spirit
in opposite worlds; vision can only be attained universally
Lamps of varied sizes and shapes carrying different shades
All having the propensity to illuminate
Let's ruminate on realization that the means is the end
The Earth's water is mirroring the stream-of-consciousness
The dead being reborn as flowers smiling through the battlefields
It's them hip-hop boys, turn your radio down
It's the rock 'n roll boys, turn your radio down
(Flowers, smiling through the battlefield!)
It's a riot again! The world is getting nervous
So we travel again! Main journey's the unconscious
It's a riot again! The world is getting nervous

Rioting-the unbeatable high
Adrenalin shoots your nerves to the sky
Everyone knows this town is gonna blow
And it's all gonna blow right now:.
Now you can smash all the windows that you want
All you really need are some friends and a rock
Throwing a brick never felt so damn good
Smash more glass
Scream with a laugh
And wallow with the crowds
Watch them kicking peoples' ass
But you get to the place
Where the real slavedrivers live
It's walled off by the riot squad
Aiming guns right at your head
So you turn right around
And play right into their hands
And set your own neighbourhood
Burning to the ground instead
Riot-the unbeatable high
Riot-shoots your nerves to the sky
Riot-playing into their hands
Tomorrow you're homeless
Tonight it's a blast
Get your kicks in quick
They're callin' the national guard
Now could be your only chance
To torch a police car
Climb the roof, kick the siren in
And jump and yelp for joy
Quickly-dive back in the crowd
Slip away, now don't get caught
Let's loot the spiffy hi-fi store
Grab as much as you can hold
Pray your full arms don't fall off
Here comes the owner with a gun
The barricades spring up from nowhere
Cops in helmets line the lines
Shotguns prod into your bellies
The trigger fingers want an excuse
The raging mob has lost its nerve
There's more of us but who goes first
No one dares to cross the line
The cops know that they've won
It's all over but not quite
The pigs have just begun to fight
They club your heads, kick your teeth
Police can riot all that they please
Tomorrow you're homeless
Inner City life
is getting me down
Poliece and gang wars
all over town
Closing down our clubs
for no good reason
Hassle us on the street
take away our freedoms
Oh oh we want a riot
Oh oh so sick and tired
Here come the riot squad
they're closing in
guns and riot shields
and gas grenades
they see us standing there
all in a line
black and white unite
confrontations high
Oh oh we want a riot
Oh oh were sick and tired
Oh oh leave us alone
They have a justice bill
that's what they say
now They have the power now
to put us away
there were four of us
minding our own
We're a riotous assembly
Walking down the road
Oh oh we want a riot
Oh oh so sick and tired
Oh oh we wanna riot
Hey, hey
I’ve got a proposition, honey

What is the world that we see
I think evolution is at the end of it's tree today
Where do we go from here
Without fear without harmony
What's left to say (honestly) the games we play
When our president can't even read
Riot my hands in the air
Riot we don't fucking care
This empire's crumbling down
Greed of the nations will burn to the ground again
But will we understand
What you wanted couldn't hold us down
What we needed turned its back so
Out loud, we're telling your secrets
Out loud to the lovers and thieves
Out loud, 'cause you never experienced
This is the side of us nobody sees
We're making something beautiful
Starting a riot
We've got this under our control
Starting to fight
What you wanted couldn't hold us now
What we needed all came crashing down
Down, with the lies and cover ups
Down down, to the lovers and thieves
Down now, 'cause you never experienced
This is the side that I'll never believe in
We're making something beautiful
Starting a riot
We've got this under our control
Starting to fight
We're making something
We're taking nothing
We're starting something beautiful
Start a riot
What you wanted
We're making something beautiful
Starting a riot

This empire's crumbling down
Greed of the nations will burn to the ground again
But will we understand
Raise our hands for equality
I'm waiting for the plane to crash and burn
I like the smell of burning kerosene
I'm feeding on the thrill of primal fear
I want my share of fluid endorphine
It seems they just sit and wait for sleep
I really need to see if there is something more
In danger I perceive my world so clear
I force myself to stretch the envelope
There's a party going on
We'll all be here dancing underground
There's a riot going on
We'll all be here dancing underground
I'm freezing to the bone on the arctic storms
Naked in the cold I'm feeling so alive
I'm searching for the last uncharted land
I hope to find someone else like me
Don't listen to the fools that hold you back
For you will achieve what they can only dream
Now escape the grip of good old common sense
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry
So ripped off, so stepped on
You're not the only one
Refusing to back down
You're not the only one
So get up
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
If you feel so filthy
So dirty, so fucked up
If you feel so walked on
So painful, so pissed off
You're not the only one
Refusing to go down
You're not the only one
So get up
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
Let's start a riot, a riot
Let's start a riot
If you feel so empty
So used up, so let down
If you feel so angry

'Cause dance like I started a riot
I've got the fuse already ignited
And it's too late now for the fire
Although I think I might've started a riot
Riot, oh no
I don't make the rules but I break them up
I'm just a love lookin' dangerous
Roll over the cup, turn your counter up
And I'm ready now to get into it
Get down underneath the blackout
One thing, lights and the electrics
It's on oh something so yea let's go
Lose it to the mid flow
'Cause dance like I started a riot
I've got the fuse already ignited
And it's too late now for the fire
Although I think I might've started a riot
Riot, oh no
Oh oh oh no
Oh oh oh no
I think I might've started a riot
Oh oh oh no
I think I might've started a riot
Riot, oh no
That's right, lookin' like you don't give a huff tonight
I'm not shuttin' up tonight la la la la la la come on
Down down, bring it down
Lot of whole up movin' on
Everything now all I want
Hit me with that punch
That's right, lookin' like you don't give a huff tonight
I'm not shuttin' up tonight la la la la la la come on
Down down, bring it down
Lot of whole up movin' on
Everything now all I want
Hit me with that punch
And I dance like I started a riot
I've got the fuse already ignited
And it's too late now for the fire
Although I think I might've started a riot
Riot, oh no
Oh oh oh no
Oh oh oh no
I think I might've started a riot
Oh oh oh no
I think I might've started a riot
The dark and stormy clouds of rage came rumbling in
And the city burn a blaze so bright the night resembled morning
There was vengeance in their eyes as their voices pierced the silence
The city smelled of chaos and the news reported Riot (Riot Riot Riot!)
Drop the routine and go
The common consensus down every single road
One a looting next a shooting... it left you wondering what's next?
The city burned a blaze because of mans ignorance
[Chorus:]
We took a stand (but were we as one)
We made demands (based on opinions)
So here we stand (in our waste land)
Back where we began
Too much power made the human greed
The milk is sour and we're still in need
Eleventh hour let the blind man see
That we're back where we began I said were back where we began!
Riot, Riot, Riot (4x)
From the cold concrete ruins came the echoed cry
As the morning broke so did the sky
To reveal the seal that had been broke
The past the present the future..a joke
I saw the market place I saw my house
I saw the school yard, park, windows broken out
Under a brand new day, a brand new sun
I stood amongst the chaos...god what have we done?
(Chorus)
Oh my god what have we done
We waged a war that cant be won (2x)
And now we're back where we began
Right or wrong, it's just for fun. And who really cares, we could have a ball.
Well high or low, our hearts are cold. Well thats the only life we know.
Just because we don't trust, don't get down your knees and pray for us.
Yes we're young, but not that dumb, now we're ready like a loaded gun.
And Sid was not that vicious, he killed his little mistress. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
And Johnny's not that rotten, in case you have forgotten. Oi. Oi. Oi.54
We're gonna start a riot, a riot, a riot.
Well now we're gonna start a riot, a riot, a riot.
Well now we're gonna start a.....
Well high or low, our hearts are cold. Well thats the only life we know.
And just because we don't trust, don't get down your knees and pray for us.
And Sid was not that vicious, he killed his little mistress. Oh yeah, oh yeah.
And Johnny's not that rotten, in case you have forgotten. Oi. Oi. Oi.144
We're gonna start a riot, a riot, a riot.
Well now we're gonna start a riot, a riot, a riot.
Well now we're gonna start a.....
Well now we're gonna start a riot, a riot, a riot.
Well now we're gonna start a riot, a riot, a riot.

Drinks 2 beers and leaves the house
Starts the car and drives downtown
Picks his friends up on the way
After a long hardworking day
They're pleased it's over
They all want to forget about work
And sooner or later they will
It all depends on how much they drink
There might be a fight, another fight tonight
Broken bottles everywhere
Watch your back he's got a chair
They all run riot
No weapons anywere
Just fistfighting, but beware
They all run riot
The bar's a wreck, but they need
More another fight, 'cause life's a bore
Get in the car and get out there
Drinking beer along the way
Heading straight out of the bay
That's where the fights are
Everyone out there is ready to fight
They're angry and ready to go

Damn right they got it, damn right they got it [x4]

The boy was runnin'
He had nowhere left to hide
They caught him down to the ground
Still they never found the knife
They say, "It's murder

They?ve got no suspects
Now those hound dogs follow me
Whiskey to water
And water to wine
Run for your life

When he didn?t have nowhere to hide
You?ve got to fight to survive
Run, run, run
Run for your life
No way, did I commit this crime
No way, am I about to die
No way, can I forgive myself
For the things I?ve never done
There?s no way
You?re gonna make me pay
No way, I?m comin' back today
No way, no way, no way
You?re gonna bring me back alive
There?s been a riot
No, they say, "It's murder"

Don't want to be controlled and pay more taxes for their
wealth
Don't believe a word they say, fuck their authority!

Destroy the city, smash it all to bits
They won't stop, they don't give a shit

Machine guns fire upon masses that they can’t control!
Secret cells sit there plotting; no one else pays
attention; domination is their goal.
The world is burning for revenge.
The world is standing on the edge.
These riots are the beginning of the end!
Dominate, desecrate, implicate your master!
Elevate, liberate, celebrate the masses!
Dominate, desecrate, implicate your master!
Elevate, liberate, celebrate… Again!
Now it’s easy to see!
Falling buildings and tsunamis!
Is this the end.
Just don’t forget you will regret, that time is not on
our side; and anger never subsides.
With sticks and stones we’ll break their bones; it’s time
to start a riot!
A movement that can never be controlled.
No one ever truly cared about your word!
The world is burning for revenge.
The world is standing on the edge.

What if darkness failed you tonight
what if you unraveled your life
what if you began to feel again what if you lost your heart and then
what if you became undone
what if dreams unveiled you tonight
what if you believed this was right
what if you began to feel
the things that you have never revealed
what if you became
a man tonight
riots rage
across your heart
gently rocks the dark
what if darkness failed you tonight
what if you began to walk the light
what if you becan to feel again
what if you lost your heart again
what if you became
undone
one to one
what if you lost yourself in she
what if you found yourself- believe
what if you found yourself -set free
