There's Super...and there's Epic.
Exile means to be away from one's home (i.e. city, state or country), while either being explicitly refused permission to return and/or being threatened with imprisonment or death upon return. It can be a form of punishment and solitude.
It is common to distinguish between internal exile, i.e., forced resettlement within the country of residence, and external exile, deportation outside the country of residence.[citation needed] Although most commonly used to describe an individual situation, the term is also used for groups (especially ethnic or national groups), or for an entire government. Terms such as diaspora and refugee describe group exile, both voluntary and forced, and government in exile describes a government of a country that has been forced to relocate and argue its legitimacy from outside that country.
Exile can also be a self-imposed departure from one's homeland. Self-exile is often depicted as a form of protest by the person that claims it, to avoid persecution or legal matters (such as tax or criminal allegations), an act of shame or repentance, or isolating oneself to be able to devote time to a particular thing.
I wont pray here
Or bow my head
I wont praise your name
I wont kneel down.
I wont pray to you
On this side of sane (oh lord)
I wont pray to you
On this side of hell (father)
I wont pray to you
On this side of heaven again.
I dont need faith
Forgiveness of sin
I dont need saving
I dont need lies.
I dont believe
In the angel wars (oh lord)
I dont believe
In the virgin birth (father)
I dont believe
In the cross on the hill (jesus)
I dont believe
In the kindness of God to man.
Ill drive a stake
Through the black of your heart (oh lord)
Ill pull down your temples
And burn every word (father)
Ill kill all the angels
That show me the light (jesus)
Ill drift into darkness
And tear out the soul of god
Pushed, promoted, justified?.
Perhaps not guaranteed.
Reassuring cash transfer providing leads, media profile - fallacies
we need?
I THINK NOT!
Labels breed the money making rock machines.
Broadening minds, eyes blind.
Criticism for the masses - or for themselves?
Progression or procession?.
Do opinions count, or do they mount?
The piles of shit.
Alternative press delights us with.
Critique elite - ill informed.
No wrong can be done, depending on the trend at times to be
untrendy.
No longer I roam on the shores that I love.
The ship that I am sailing is lost at sea.
Lord knows I long for the blue skies above.
You know, home is where the heart is.
Why can't you see?
But now there are asking questions.
So be careful for what you say.
"Step into room sixteen, sir".
Please come right this way.
Because you are in exile.
Exile no!!
I cannot believe they are wasting my time.
Please tell me what is happening.
Cause I don't have a clue.
It's so hard to conceive that I'm still standing in line.
I'm feeling so lonely, I could cry the blues.
But then there is a ray of hope somewhere.
At least that's what they always say.
Again "step into room sixteen, sir".
Because you are in exile.
Exile no!!
Even though some things are better left unsaid
There's a few things I need to get off my chest
I need to vent - let me tell you why
I'm suicidal, maniacal, self-destructive
You leave me no hope, no life
Nothing worth living for
I've taken it, can't take it anymore
My worst nightmare
You make me want to slit my own fucking throat
Just so I'll be rid of you
Just to get rid of you
You self-righteous fuck
Give me a reason not to rip your fucking face off
Why don't you take a good look in these eyes
Cause I'm the one that's gonna tear your fucking heart
My hate is contagious; you've got no one to run to
EXILE
Just tell me fucking why everything becomes an issue
Your opinion is always senseless - fuck this
You make my fucking skin crawl
I've lived with it - can't stand anymore
My worst nightmare
I want to take a bullet in the fucking head
Every time I think of you, every time I think of you
You self-righteous fuck
Give me a reason not to rip your fucking face off
Why don't you take a good look in these eyes
Cause I'm the one that's gonna tear your fucking heart
My hate is contagious
Anyone else need to vent?
You've tried my tolerance; I just want you to die
There's nothing more for me to say
There's nothing more for you to say
There's nothing more for us to say
I fucking hate you anyway
EXILE
Can't count the ways that you light my fuckin fuse
I can't tolerate the sight of you, the thought of you or
anything about you
You know what I want to see?
How many ways can a loser fucking lose
I know you'll find a way
The humility awakening the idiot inside
You spineless fucking maggot - you're just wasting my
time
Get out of my face - Get out of my life
written by: Enya/Roma Ryan
Cold as the northern winds
in December mornings,
Cold is the cry that rings
from this far distant shore.
Winter has come to lay
too close beside me.
How can I chase away
all these fears deep inside?
I'll wait the signs to come.
I'll find a way
I will wait the time to come.
I'll find a way home.
My light shall be the moon
and my path, the ocean.
My guide, the morning star
as I sail home to you.
I'll wait the signs to come.
I'll find a way.
I will wait the time to come.
I'll find a way home.
Who then can warm my soul?
Who can quell my passion?
Out of these dreams, a boat
Fragments of my life are slipping through time
In washed out memories I just can't seem to find...
It seems I break all my fragile dreams
when I call the angel into me.
So what have I done? What have I done?
Have I made you proud or have I driven you away?
Her eyes are complicated. Silently she slips away,
And in her wake I find a cascade of regret...
All that I believe in, the anchors in my heart,
Cannot be for nothing. But we still stand apart...
In silence.
It seems I break All my fragile dreams
when I call The Angels back to me.
So what have I done? What have I done?
When time has claimed my fire and left me in Exile.
Shadows cross in essence as part of what I am,
When you try to see the Angel. Standing like a man.
Paper hearts and faded pictures that we cherish
all the while, and guard of distant forests,
Raining tears placed in Exile.
What have I done? Who have I become?
Though these words may come alive...
Poets and prophets die...
God are you sleeping?
God are you dreaming?
Are you watching me tonight?
Finding tears to mark the time?
God are you sleeping?
God are you dreaming?
Are you crying for my life?
Falling Angels in Exile.
God are you sleeping?
Never give up.
God are you dreaming?
Never give in.
There is fight within.
Do you hear me in the dark?
God are you sleeping?
Never give up.
God are you dreaming?
Never give in.
There is fight within.
And I long to see your smile...
What have I done? Who have I become?
Though these words may come alive...
Poets and prophets...
Outside the boundaries where all the streets are empty
In such a lonely moment we reach the same conclusion
Chants of cathedral choirs, stations of iron cogs grind
Primeaval screams we heard.
Release cannot be found, no
You'll never see that water flow
You'll never see the water flowing
We that have tasted such beauties of corruption
Triumphal arches raised designed to fall again
My kingdom and place of exile
You'll never see the water flowing.
Your shouts of righteousness jaded our contributions
Too scared for anger, the cause without a rebel
No revolutions in four four time
You'll never see that water flowing.
I walk down amongst the ruins and past glories shattered me
Elysian decays, answers that we are finding
Waters of perfection fade
You'll never see the water flow
You'll never see the water flow
You'll never see the water flowing.
Exile
Synchronise the flow of intersections
Catalogue all still heartbeats
Franchise the machinations of
The bourgeois-fangled reverie
Gleaming in flamboyancy
Resign to solid chrome
Ohmic opposition is futile
And impedes upon ideas worthwhile
Delicate, infallible construction
We know now what destructiveness comes from
We are living - there's no deed in indulgence
A faded glory, relying on 'Me and Mine'
The exile from human ecstasy
To a place where we're engineered
Seminars on entangled escalators
Meetings with silent translators
A flashback of dystopia
Warning in sleep with a recurring trace
All the fragments and segments
Of fluid sequences
The pretence of a universal race
Not made of metal is moot
Delicate, infallible construction
Please don’t put it into words
‘Cause I fear what you’re thinking
…its gonna make it hurt
You better not try to make me
Believe in someone new
Faithless, on my way
Defenseless, from my heart, wont you be.
Heartless, here with me
Breathless, from the night’s misery
This night will start the exile… run
Now you tell me what it was worth
Was it meant to be broken?
The circle that wouldn’t shed a single tear
And now you wanna redirect me from the face of the earth
Not willing to share your time
Not near, not far
I’m just a spectator, once loved
Just fear, just scars
A sheer introduction to what I’ve lost, to what I’ve lost
Faithless, on my way
Wont forget, from my heart, wont you be
Heartless, here with me
Breathless, from this night’s misery, from this night’s misery
One more endless night
To notice all the things I have to be
Faithless, on my way
Won’t forget, from my heart, won’t you be
Heartless, here with me
Breathless from this night’s misery
I'm light years away
You can't change me
I'm passive and cold
Just waiting
I've seen the future's threatening sky through dreams at night
I've seen the dogs of war let loose I've seen the blood-red sky
Night
A promise of rain
Divided we stand
A distance I can't take anymore
In the cage in the corner
I'm safe from the beast
Once you wanted me, the image of me
I've played that game a million times and see the signs
I've played that game from A to Z I've lost a million times
Wounds are open again
Divided we fall
I'm bleeding from the dark of my soul
Burning in water
A crossroad
With no direction
Destination zero
I am nowhere to be found
Save me
Borderline ahead
This is the edge of my world
Burdensome was my cross
To bear this far
What have I become
An exiled
Unbearable
O Satan, prends pitié de ma longe misère !
Oh Thou, the most savage of angels
God only judges mild
Those who chant songs to his praise
Oh Prince of exile...
To whom in every tale done wrong
(but who) after defeat, always redresses more strong
Like a patron saint of
Heavens rejected souls
Distinctively closer to
Humanity Thou art
Connected to
Mother earth more profound
Oh Thou fallen angel of gloom, joyfully I join thy side
Even if this means eternal fire, I embrace thy kingdom of night
Exile, exile!!!!!
Wandering in Thy wastelands
Far away from the heavenly autocrat
Close to Thee I chose to repose
Liberated from God’s wrath
Exile!!!
A temple raised for the ones like us
With plentiful room for science
A shelter for creative minds
To dream away in silence...
Oh Thou fallen angel of gloom, joyfully I join thy side
Contradiction in my thoughts is the barrier of my life
I cannot jump that nigh to overcome
Too many hidden ways - their destination is the same
Which way is wrong and which is right
Sometimes I wish I had a choice
To end or to begin
Sometimes I wish I could live on my own
But nothing's breaking through the walls inside
All the dreams remain behind
All the voices fade away
I'm falling into nothingness of life
I don't care about the time
I don't need to understand
There's no confusion in my mind but the clarity is gone
I hope you'll never ask about tomorrow
My abandoned ship is carried by the current
I cannot fight against it and I cannot force it
Sometimes I wish I had a choice
To end or to begin
Sometimes I wish I could live on my own
But nothing's breaking through the walls inside
All the dreams remain behind
All the voices fade away
I'm falling into nothingness of life
I don't care about the time
Your begging on your knees,
without dirtying you hands.
You want someone to love,
but not someone I can.
I dare not ask why this again.
A trusted freind in my exile...
I'm free in my exile,
I'm free.
A strings was born to play,
with fish hooks in my flesh.
You try to draw me in,
but still deny me then.
You're clinging to what I have left.
While I forget in my exile...
I'm free in my exile,
I'm free...
Free to forget.
I drag these rags and tatters off my feet.
Here a test I know I can beat.
You say that I am weak,
and kiss the tears aways.
You offer what I need,
for more than I can afford.
My choice is to choose who I want to betray...
Or stay in my exile...
I'm free in my exile,
I'm free ... to stay.
In my exile...
I'm free in my exile,
Believe it, you went and threw it all away,
I gave my life, not an inch.
Exile, only made worse by the
Tiresome hours wasted away inside this cage.
Innocence, a word that shouldn't be used for such murky waters,
And yet, somehow fitting, finds it's way
Into my thoughts.
Into my thoughts, into my thoughts.
Social well-being is a state-of-mind,
It seems, vagrancy is all I have.
Exile, only made worse by the
Tiresome hours wasted away inside this cage.
Innocence, a word that shouldn't be used for such murky waters,
And yet, somehow fitting, finds it's way
Into my thoughts.
Into my thoughts, into my thoughts.
Innocence, a word that shouldn't be used for such murky waters,
And yet, somehow fitting, finds it's way
Into my thoughts.
i just want to lay myself down
drink the illusions and let it all float away
into the river of voices
one of them will speak and tell me where to go
i packed my thoughts and visions
headed for the light on the other side
although consoling was a myth
the tunnel was a con
i ran - but i never turned back
i have deported my own life
into this foolish splendour
i have brought the beauty of a soul
cold and dark as the last day
is the image of the dream
that made it all worth-while
in exile
if there is a sign out there hiding
come to me now or forever hold your peace
you'll find me in my room in the guesthouse
riding clouds that are hard to please
when there is a fight i will be there
it feels so good to do what one should not do
and i play i gamble and stay
i look - but i never turn back
If you're going across the sea,
To dear old London Town
Kiss the lips of my true love
They're soft as eiderdown.
Tell her if I was a thief
It's time with her I'd steal
And walk with her where once we walked
In love 'cross Finsbury Field.
I'm exiled here in Flanders now
Where it's flat as flat can be.
While she has no way to feed our kids
Away across the sea.
So if you're going overseas
To dear old London Town
Find the man that exiled me
While you were sleeping they waged a war
Didn't tell you 'till they came to your door
While you were sleeping they stole your freedom
Made sure the odds werent even
There's blood on the hands of time
A lie cheapens the vision
Did you read between the lines
Or did they teach you not to question?
There's blood on the hands of time
They've taken it all away
Buried the past with lies
But the pain is still felt today
While you were sleeping they dug you a grave
Gave you a # instead of a name
While you were sleeping they stole your dreams
Beat you out of your beliefs
There's blood on the hands of time
And in the pages of your books
Blood paints the heavens
For all the lives that you took
There's blood on the hands of time
I still hear the screams
These wounds haven't healed
They've massacred my dreams
Exiled in the land of the free
While you were sleeping they took the words from your mouth
And bound your hands
So when you tried to reach out
Noone would understand
While you were sleeping they glorified the past
Tried to cover up their lies
We will never forget
There's blood on the hands of time!
Exiled in the land of the free
It's in the eyes of the homeless and the abused
Like it's in the way that I live with this truth...
An outcast in my land, in my home, and in my mind
Guilty 'till proven innocent and I'm still doing the time
My head is crowded with these screams
My mind is massacred by these images...
Those who couldn't keep up with the rest
Weren't worth the bullet
Something I'll never forget
Not worth the bullet
I'm not gonna forget
Not worth the bullet
There's blood on the hands of time
We will not forget
Our people marched in Exile
Not worth the bullet
...there's blood on the hands of time
Though I empathize with em
And sympathize with em
(x4)
Though I empathize with em
And sympathize with em
I don’t enterprise with em
Or synchronize with em
We don’t strategize with em
We’re not allies with em
We don’t fratenize with em
Let em patronize

Socialize with em
Broke my ties with em
Now we open-eyed in this over-hyped system
We know…
Chorus:
This wisdom of man
Is foolishness to God
Don’t build on the sand
Or trust in the odds
Be shrewd as the snakes
And innocent as doves
Don’t succumb to hate
Overcome hate with love
(x2)
We’re taught not to question to status
quo cuz the masses never get heard
that’s unless your established
with expert professors in dress-shirts
and glasses that lecture to classes
from lecterns
where next term the best third will pass an’
earn cash working as
desk clerks for the best firms in manhattan
where the pressure can crack em
cuz networks and net worth and class get
treasured over pleasures that last
always measuring stacks
a passion for lesser god’s
growing, see – the distraction is clever
but trust
(chorus)
Though I empathize with em

Now we open-eyed in this over-hyped system
We see…
Dead seed is planted in the black soil of my heart
By death I'll be awaken, behold this repulsive art
Life has been rejected as if taken a step out of time
I find rejoice through suicide, I kiss this life good-bye
The gate is revealed to the second awakening
I know death a true friend of mine
I am through, reborn but dead
Entering a life of another kind
Dead seed is planted in the black soil of my heart
By death I'll be awaken, behold this repulsive art
Life has been rejected as if taken a step out of time
I find rejoice through suicide, I kiss this life good-bye
The gate is revealed to the second awakening
Shining steel through fragile veins
Exiled from sordid flesh
The gate is revealed to the second awakening
I know death a true friend of mine
I am through, reborn but dead
The underground fell to the ground and fighting made no sense
I laid down my arms and took my legs in my hands
I had to walk away
I had to walk away
I dream of coming home
Blood I can smell and tears in my coat
A burning burning dream
My past is present always there
Scars left in my heart
The mirrors fighting not to lose the sense
I hold my head up high
The winds are chiming like the ones at home
Against the north I cry
I dream of coming home
The exile burns my brain
The exile eats my heart
The exile tunes the sound
The exile cuts me down
'Daring my voice
Once more
I invite the pain
To come with me and stay
For another endless
Night and day
To hold my hand
And tear me apart...'
Emerging from the silence
A muse misunderstood
She knows, oh she knows
That some wounds
Will never heal
Never fade away
But you must go on -
Go on and live
So come what may
The words entwine with sound
A lone voice
Against the roaring tide
Whether or not
The world will stop to listen
'And suddenly I am
A world apart
Sinking
Through the world beneath
And the skies above
I've arrived
This time with no way out
Touching raw flesh
With every sound...'
Through sorrow and pain
The only way's forward,
Through adversity to the stars
'..And if I am to fall
And if I am to fail
I know you'll be there...
you'll be there...'
And we must run sometimes
and take the blame
We must fight two fights
for one great mistake
No matter
Where this road will end
We must live
Ans give all ourselves
'So come what may,
I won't try n' escape
Without this love
What's life but an empty dream
So have my blood
And have all my dreams
Have the tears I cried
And all I've never been
The moments missed
And al that made me feel
It's all worth it
I know
Deep inside
I've always known:
It's all I am...'

Counting ships crossing lake blue
You don't seem to notice the light house has blown out
In my need, I'm crying for you
In my bleed, I'm dying for you to sail on
Crossing bridges but I just keep crossing over you
In a limousine in my mind
All that I am is everything you are
I'm your mirror, you're my scar
And I was innocent in your eyes 'til you went blind
I was a real saint
How much do you need someone to blame for your pain?
Putting the pieces together contradicting every word
Believing everyone is against you
"we'll all get you!"
What's that I see crossing lake blue
A battleship surrendering to the darkness inside of you
I was innocent in your eyes 'til you went blind
I was a real saint
How much do you need someone to blame for your pain
How much do you need someone to blame for your pain, boy?
I already said that I was wrong
In exile I'm already gone - if that's what you want
(if that's what you want then I'll give it to you)
I was innocent in your eyes 'til you went blind
I was a real saint
How much do you need someone to blame for your pain?
I was...counting ships crossing lake blue

On the lonely mountain
Where the white snow lies
Angel exiles from the paradise
Expires his life
To any questions
He knows exact answer
Angel has seen the misfortunes
And the people's suffer
Exile sits and recalls
All the paradise years
He remembers his clear life
And remembers the universe tears
He remembers the various people
In the course of his way
But he don't know anybody
Who will heal his soul's pain
Angel was staying in the solitude
In his old age
He sat in the grief on the mountain
And fled into the rage
Home, it's where the heart is
So just let me breathe again
Make me young again
And we'll go where we are free again
This is not the end
We'll be young again
So we'll say goodbye girl
And watch as the world burns
This is exile
We're in exile
So just let the heads roll
And we'll stand on this world alone
In this exile
We're in exile
Exile, exile, exile...
Home, it's where the heart is
Where we'll never leave again
Suffer or bleed again
When we go
The vultures will feed on them
And fire will come around
And we'll be young again
So we'll say goodbye girl
And watch as the world burns
This is exile
We're in exile
So just let the heads roll
And we'll stand on this world alone
In this exile
We're in exile
We're in exile...
We're in exile...
Counting ships crossing lake blue
You don't seem to notice the light house has blown out
In my need, I'm crying for you
In my bleed, I'm dying for you to sail on
Crossing bridges but I just keep crossing over you

All that I am is everything you are
I'm your mirror, you're my scar
And I was innocent in your eyes 'til you went blind
I was a real saint
How much do you need someone to blame for your pain?
Putting the pieces together contradicting every word
Believing everyone is against you

What's that I see crossing lake blue
A battleship surrendering to the darkness inside of you
I was innocent in your eyes 'til you went blind
I was a real saint
How much do you need someone to blame for your pain
How much do you need someone to blame for your pain, boy?
I already said that I was wrong
In exile I'm already gone - if that's what you want

CHORUS
Girl I'm crazy for your love
Out of my head for you
My mind just can't believe
What you're makin' my body do
I'm delirious over you
And I just can't get enough
You're driving me mad
Makin' me crazy for your love
Thought I heard the telephone ringin'
It must be my imagination
Thought I heard a knockin' on the door
I guess it was just wishful thinkin'
When I close my eyes I can see your face
Feel you touchin' me
Oh darlin' don't you know
I need to find a real way
To make you see
(chorus)
When I close my eyes I can see your face
Feel you touchin' me
Oh darlin' don't you know
I need to find a real way
To make you

Driving me mad
Making me crazy for your
Makin' me crazy for ...
Exile---Kiss You All Over
[Doorbell rings.]
BOB: (clears throat) It's a kind of a big day.
It's, uh, my buddy's first time with a
prostitute.
WOMAN: What are you talking about? Andy comes here
almost every weekend.
BOB: Who? Andy?! (laughs)
WOMAN: Oh, he doesn't always call himself that.
Sometimes he's "Tony," and he wears a tux.
BOB: Ho ho ho ho ho ho ho!
When I get home, babe
Gonna light your fire
All day, I've been thinkin' about you, babe
You're my one desire
Gonna wrap my arms around you
Hold you close to me
Oh, babe, I wanna taste your lips
I wanna fill your fantasy, yeah
I don't what I'd do without you, babe
Don't know where I'd be
You're not just another lover
No, you're everything to me
Everytime I'm with you, baby
I can't believe it's true
When you're layin' in my arms
And you do the things you do
You can see it in my eyes
I can feel it in your touch
You don't have to say a thing
Just let me show how much
Love you, need you, yeah
I wanna kiss you all over
And over again
I wanna kiss you all over
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
Stay with me, lay with me
Holding me, loving me, baby
Here with me, near with me
Feeling you close to me, baby
So show me, show me ev'rything you do
'Cause baby, no one does it quite like you
Love you, need you, oh babe
I wanna kiss you all over
And over again
I wanna kiss you all over
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
ANDY: If I gave you both dollars, would you, um,
If I could make one wish
And have it come true
All that I could hope for
Is for just one night with you
Cause that's all it takes
And that's all I need
It doesn't take much of your love
To satisfy me
(Chorus):
Just one kiss goes a long long way
Just a little of your love
Can get me through the day
Just one touch and my heart remains
Just one kiss goes a long long way
I was a loner, I had to be free
I never needed anyone around
To depend on me
But that was before you made me see
That falling in love could be painless
You made it look easy
(Chorus):
Just one kiss goes a long long way
Just a little of your love
Can get me through the day
Just one touch and my heart remains
Just one kiss goes a long long way
I wonder how I ever got by
I wonder how I ever made it
Without you in my life
I don't know how I ever survived
(Chorus):
Just one kiss goes a long long way
Just a little of your love
Can get me through the day
Just one touch and my heart remains
Just one kiss goes a long long way
Oooh baby, just one kiss goes a long long way
Yeah darling, just one kiss goes a long long way
Yeah baby, just one kiss goes a long long way
The band was playing, kinda, something low
All the lovers swaying, to and fro
You and me, together, dancing real slow
Tonight's the night, I want you to know
I can't hold out any longer
Remember, love can't grow
Oh, very much stronger
You better hang on to your heart, hold on tight
Or I'm gonna steal it away, tonight
I'll take you in my arms and never ever let you go
There's a new moon out, the stars are shining bright
You're here with me and it feels so right
So hang on to your heart
Or I'm gonna steal it away
You're living proof, that dreams come true
I can't believe, I'm really holding you
So close, so tight, all night through
If I could only make time stand still, forever
It'll always be
Just you and me
Here, together
You better hang on to your heart, hold on tight
Or I'm gonna steal it away, tonight
I'll take you in my arms and never ever let you go
There's a new moon out, the stars are shining bright
You're here with me and it feels so right
So hang on to your heart
Or I'm gonna steal it away
Hang on, hang on
Hang on to your heart
Hang on, hang on
Hang on to your heart
Hang on, hang on
Hang on to your heart
Hang on, hang on
Girl, you know it wouldn't take much
Just one little bitty touch from you
You could make me feel so fine
If you're so inclined to
If you feel like dancing
Let it show
Tell me anything
But please don't say no
I could get used to you
Oh, darling, you're so fine
I could grow accustomed to
Your body layin' right next to mine
If you would walk on my way
Girl, I'd give my heart away to you
Dancing all through the night
Holding each other tight
Darling that's what I'd like to do with you babe
I could get used to you
Oh, darling, you're so fine
I could grow accustomed to
Your body layin' right next to mine
I could get used to you
Oh, darling, you're so fine
I could grow accustomed to
Your body layin' right next to mine
I could get used to you
Oh, darling, you're so fine
I could grow accustomed to
Your body layin' right next to mine
Baby, I'm off the wall
Up the creek
Goin' down the wrong way
On a one-way street
I ain't got the sense
That the good Lord gave a goose
But I sure got one thing
That I'd like to give to you
I got love, super love
Super duper love for you
I ain't no doctor, ain't got no PhD
When you talk about love
You better talk to me
I got love, super duper love
I ain't too good lookin',
Won't be no movie king
Won't be no Elvis
Up on the silver screen
Can't be no teacher
No nuclear scientist
If you ain't been kissed by me, baby
You ain't been kissed
I got love, super love
Super duper love for you
I ain't no doctor, ain't got no PhD
When you talk about love
You better talk to me
I got love, super duper love
I ain't no doctor, ain't got no PhD
When you talk about love
You better talk to me
I got love for you
Chorus*
Won't ya give me just one more chance
Maybe we could make a lil romance
No reason why you and me can't get it back together
Like it used to be
Gimme Gimme Gimme just another try
If I can't have you I'm gonna die
Give me one more chance give me one more chance
Do you remember how it used to be
When we had a love so true
You were my confidant
You were my closest friend
Someone that I could always turn to
Then I played the fool let you slip right through my hands
Ooh I let you get away Now I've come runnin back
Hopin you will let me back in your heart someday
Chorus*
I'm so alone here without your touch and
It seems like a lifetime to me
Oh darlin can't you see right now I know
How wrong one man can be
Chorus(2x)*
Now that you say our romance is through
I want you to know that I'll never get over you.
And I can't believe you're out looking
for somebody new so soon
not after all that we had
breaking my heart and it's so sad.
I'll never get over you
'cause
You thrill me
every night
every day you thrill me
baby don't take it away
you thrill me
Lord
I need you to stay
'cause you thrill me
you thrill me.
Now that you've gone I'll try to pretend
but baby
I ain't much good
at playing a game I can't win.
And if we could have it all over again
baby I'd be so good to you
all the things that I would do
I'll never get over you
'cause
You thrill me
baby
I'd be so good to you
all the things that I would do
I'll never get over you
'cause
Baby, I'm off the wall
Up the creek
Goin' down the wrong way
On a one-way street
I ain't got the sense
That the good Lord gave a goose
But I sure got one thing
That I'd like to give to you
I got love, super love
Super duper love for you
I ain't no doctor, ain't got no PhD
When you talk about love
You better talk to me
I got love, super duper love
I ain't too good lookin',
Won't be no movie king
Won't be no Elvis

If you ain't been kissed by me, baby
You ain't been kissed
I got love, super love
Super duper love for you
I ain't no doctor, ain't got no PhD
When you talk about love
You better talk to me
I got love, super duper love
I ain't no doctor, ain't got no PhD
When you talk about love
You better talk to me
I got love for you
I could leave this job and never be missed
Every day I get to feel like this
The only time I ever hear my name
Is when somebody needs someone to blame
I think I'm the invisible man, I never know where I stand
People walking up to me lookin' right through me
Talking to the beat of the band, yeah I wonder what to do sometimes
I'm startin' to think that I'm the invisible man
Well my girlfriend's good friends they don't see
What my girlfriends sees in me
Yeah they're lookin' at me like I'm not there
And they tell her that I ain't goin' nowhere
Like I'm the invisible man I never know where I stand
People walking up to me lookin' right through me
Talking to the beat of the band, yeah I wonder what to do sometimes
I'm startin' to think that I'm the invisible man
You can't see
You can't see me
it ain't because I'm Santa Claus
It's because I'm the invisible man I never know where I stand
People walking up to me lookin' right through me
Talkin' to the beat of the band, yeah I wonder what to do sometimes
I'm startin' to think that I'm the invisible man
I'm the invisible man
I'm invisible

When I get home, babe, gonna light your fire
All day I've been thinkin' about you, babe
You're my one desire
Gonna wrap my arms around you
Hold you close to me
Oh, babe I wanna taste your lips
I wanna fill your fantasy, yeah
I don't what I'd do without you, babe
Don't know where I'd be
You're not just another lover
No, you're everything to me
Ev'rytime I'm with you, baby
I can't believe it's true
When you're layin' in my arms
'n' you do the things you do
You can see it in my eyes
I can feel it in your touch
You don't have to say a thing
Just let me show how much
Love you, need you, yeah
I wanna kiss you all over
And over again
I wanna kiss you all over
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
Stay with me, lay with me, holding me, loving me, baby
Here with me, near with me, feeling you close to me, baby
So show me, show me ev'rything you do
'cause baby no one does it quite like you
Love you, need you, oh, babe
I wanna kiss you all over
And over again
I wanna kiss you all over
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
Till the night closes in
FADE
Till the night closes in
We are the following generation possessed by the old
Riding dead unicorns in the name of thrash lord
We are free, thinking we are mad and odd?
We are loyal and we'll never break the metal oath
We are murderers for those who stand in our way
Our fury will turn the sky from blue to gray
We will hunt you - can't run - you're our pray
Flag of hate will always fly, burning those who defy
Breaking the rules
Rule the world
Crushing the fools
You're gonna crawl
We are your nightmares nightmare its better to beware
Seeking revenge we're gonna rip your body apart
You will be buried under and we will piss on your grave
Malevolent strikes upon you, dead thrashes rising
We are murderers for those who stand in our way
Our fury will turn the sky from blue to gray
We will hunt you - can't run - you're our pray
CHORUS
Girl I'm crazy for your love
Out of my head for you
My mind just can't believe
What you're makin' my body do
I'm delirious over you
And I just can't get enough
You're driving me mad
Makin' me crazy for your love
Thought I heard the telephone ringin'
It must be my imagination
Thought I heard a knockin' on the door
I guess it was just wishful thinkin'
When I close my eyes I can see your face
Feel you touchin' me
Oh darlin' don't you know
I need to find a real way
To make you see
(chorus)
When I close my eyes I can see your face
Feel you touchin' me
Oh darlin' don't you know
I need to find a real way
To make you
(chorus)
Driving me mad
Making me crazy for your
Makin' me crazy for ...
I can feel it coming over me
I feel it all around me
I've been waiting for this moment all my life it's my destiny
There's a fire deep inside of me
it's waiting to come out now
no matter what, no matter how, I know I'll make it through somehow
cuz when the road feels too long
I'll still be holding on
I'm gonna keep on going, I know I'll be strong
Indestructible
I wont let nobody break me down
Indestructible
nothings gonna stop me now
Indestructible
gonna gonna make gonna keep on going
Indestructible
the last man standing
I'm ready for whatever
I'm never giving up
nothing can break my spirit
cuz it's indestructible
can't explain it, it's incredible
the strength I feel inside me
nothing is impossible
I know I'll find my way
through a storm through the darkest night
whatever comes it's alright
Not gonna turn around I'm ready, for the future now
and when the road feels too long
I'll still be holding on
I'm gonna keep on going, I know I'll be strong
nothing is impossible
if you really want it
and I really want it
not gonna stop, no matter what, no
yeah this time, nothing can hold me back, no
It's getting late the day's at its end
And my favorite time is right around the bend
It's when the time comes to turn the lights down low
She pours the wine and I lock the door
And she takes my hand like so many nights before
That's when I know Heaven's waiting for me
She's too good to be true, she blows my mind
She's still the one who thrills me time after time
It's unbelievable the way she moves me
She's so easy to love, so tender to hold
She touches me like no one I've ever known
The way she moves me, she's too good to be true
Radio plays a melody
One designed especially for her and me
An old love song that we used to slow dance to
And when she says how happy she's been
That old familiar feeling comes over me again
And I count my blessings how lucky I am
She's too good to be true, she blows my mind
She's still the one who thrills me time after time
It's unbelievable the way she moves me
She's so easy to love, so tender to hold
She touches me like no one I've ever known
The way she moves me, she's too good to be true
I don't need a shooting star
To make my wish come true
I don't need a four leaf cover
Or a crystal ball to see through
I don't need a claim for fame
Like some folks always do
I got my very own big time star
And she shines the whole night through
She's a miracle, a sight to see
Oh, the way she touches me
Way down deep in my soul
Somethings got a hold and it won't let go
If I stumble, if I fall
She's waiting right there to catch me
Oh, she's a miracle, a miracle to me
I don't need any good luck charms
Always hanging around
Don't need any wishing well
To throw my money down
I don't need to make the front page news
Or be the talk of the town
I'm telling all the world I've got a heavenly girl
Right here on the ground
She's a miracle, a sight to see
Oh, the way she touches me
Way down deep in my soul
Somethings got a hold and it won't let go
If I stumble, if I fall
She's waiting right there to catch me
Oh, she's a miracle, a miracle to me
She's everything in the world to me
A beautiful dream come true
Everyday I count my blessings
'Cuz I'm the lucky one she gives her loving to, oh
She's a miracle, a sight to see
Oh, the way she touches me
Way down deep in my soul
Somethings got a hold and it won't let go
If I stumble, if I fall
She's waiting right there to catch me
Oh, she's a miracle, miracle
She's a miracle, a sight to see
Oh, the way she touches me
Way down deep in my soul
Somethings got a hold and it won't let go
If I stumble, if I fall
She's waiting right there to catch me
Human wastes destroy the landscapes
Nature dies from the pollution we made
Back skies kill because the acid rain
Crying out another life is dead
Poisoned biosphere
Toxic atmosphere
Living the present but we're killing the future
Abusing mother earth consuming air
Lack of nature resources but we're looking for more
Fear of the reflections, but it seems we don't care
Deformed at birth
Organic drained
Out of our mind, think we have full control
Living hell, the earth is gonna explode
Poisoned biosphere
Black toxic haze killing smoke
Blasts your bones, burns your skin
Storm of merciless death kills
Faster than unleashed hell
Eternal darkness without a dim of light
Unclear vision because of blazes bright
A Hellish reign comes from the skies
Lethal winds ride ,killing who is still alive
Dead bodies underneath crumbled land
Killing storm its a dead man's fate
Killing storm
Winds of torture cast upon the land
Soil turned to venomous sands
A storm of hate kills you and me
Media and the ignorance it brings
Heads are full with none-sense like shit in a sink
T.V screen seizes you can't even go to piss
Truth you're looking for covered there is a missing link
Devastation and Civilization become one
Meanings of murderers and innocents are gone
What's wrong and right is your present problem
Supplying and increasing your stupidity level
Pre-chorus:
Commercialized your life now is ready to be sold
Canning your mind inside the electric red box
Chorus:
Ignorant is what you are x4
Breaking into your very mind
Brainwashing, blinding your sight
You're living in a state of illusion
Killing you alive for them is the solution
Pre-chorus
I don't want to be a memory
Just a shadow in your mind
Wanna be the one you always need
Not the one you left behind
I don't want to be a notch in your handle
Another love casualty
So lay back down and let's talk it over
'Cause I don't want to be a memory
Don't you remember how it used to be
When we were so in love
We spent the nights in a two-room flat
Drinking wine from a coffee cup
Making love was so very easy
We couldn't get enough
I never dreamed there would come a time
When you'd think about giving me up
I don't want to be a memory
Just a shadow in your mind
I wanna be the one you always need
Not the one you left behind
I don't want to be a notch in your handle
Another love casualty
So lay back down and let's talk it over
'Cause I don't want to be a memory
I know you've had other lovers
But that's all history
I got to know that you'll let me be the last one
To share your company
I don't want to be a memory
Just a shadow in your mind
I wanna be the one you always need
Not the one you left behind
I don't want to be a notch in your handle
Another love casualty
So lay back down and let's talk it over
'Cause I don't want to be
I don't want to be a memory
Just a shadow in your mind
I wanna be the one you always need
Not the one you left behind
Anything, I would give anything
If I could only show you
How strong my passion is for you
But every time I've tried to tell you
I can't find the right words to say
No matter how hard I keep trying
I just haven't found a way
I can't get close enough, I can't get close enough to you
Just holding you tight, all night, doesn't seem to do
I can't get near enough, I can't get near enough of you
But you know that, it's a good kind of thing I'm going through
Everywhere, I would go everywhere
Right beside you, if that would prove my love for you
Wherever you lead, I would follow, it makes no difference, you see
I'd give anything to make you understand how much you mean to me
I can't get close enough, I can't get close enough to you
Just holding you tight, all night, doesn't seem to do
I can't get near enough, I can't get near enough of you
But you know that, it's a good kind of thing I'm going through
Oh, I can't get close enough, I can't get close enough to you
Just holding you tight, all night, doesn't seem to do
I can't get near enough, I can't get near enough of you
But you know that, it's a good kind of thing I'm going through
But you know that, it's a good kind of thing I'm going through
Got to get closer, near enough, near enough for you
(Oh, I've got to get closer)
Close enough, got to get closer, near enough, near enough
(Near enough for you)
Close enough, got to get closer
Near enough for you
Close enough, got to get closer
(Oh, I've got to get closer)
Near enough

(Obiga lead me in this darkness) Show me the way (Obiga take me home, take me home) Obiga lead me in this darkness Show me the way
In this land of Anaka We had hope in Obiga In this land of Anaka We had hope in Obiga
We had hopes, we had dreams Of a clear green land In place of the family house Dead sand, dead sand
(Obiga lead me in this darkness) Show me the way (Obiga take me home) Show me the way
Obiga is no more We are left in disarray (Obiga take me home) The clan of Anaka, pillar
I've felt a shadow passing over me
It could stay for ever more
Like a wave I'm breaking far at sea
There's no one to hear the roar
The days are drifting into seasons
They're the hardest I have known
A million spaces in the earth to fill
But no going home
There's no going home
I can dream before the break of day
That I'm back with you again
Then the morning blows it all away
And leaves an echo of your name
Still a thousand miles lie betweeen us
Where we're waking up alone
And what if I could cross a hundred borders
There's no going home
There's no going home
When it thunders from the empty skies
I shall be there
No one to hold you when the storm birds fly
There's no one left to care
I search the rumours with my hollow plans
And all I want is what's mine
Lost and lonely in a foreign land
I'm left too far behind the lines
I want to tear down these walls between us
But I can't do it on my own
A million spaces in the earth to fill
And there a generation waiting still
We've got year after year to kill
But no going home
No going home

Counting ships crossing lake blue
You don't seem to notice the light house has blown out
In my need, I'm crying for you
In my bleed, I'm dying for you to sail on
Crossing bridges but I just keep crossing over you
In a limousine in my mind
All that I am is everything you are
I'm your mirror, you're my scar
And I was innocent in your eyes 'til you went blind
I was a real saint
How much do you need someone to blame for your pain?
Putting the pieces together contradicting every word
Believing everyone is against you
"we'll all get you!"
What's that I see crossing lake blue
A battleship surrendering to the darkness inside of you
I was innocent in your eyes 'til you went blind
I was a real saint
How much do you need someone to blame for your pain
How much do you need someone to blame for your pain, boy?
I already said that I was wrong
In exile I'm already gone - if that's what you want
(if that's what you want then I'll give it to you)
I was innocent in your eyes 'til you went blind
I was a real saint
How much do you need someone to blame for your pain?
I was... counting ships crossing lake blue

This rain so mellow
These words so shallow
And I'm lost
In my own shadows
The queen of dark clouds
And I know
The sound of distance
Like dark blue oceans
And I float
Across the tides
And far from islands
And I fall
I gliss on the surface
And see the depths of the sea
My love, my exile
Bringing the sound of this
Song from afar
Taking my soul far from me
My body and mind
Blaming and blessing
This chance to escape this agony
I hear you calling
I cannot wake up
From this dream
That takes me inside
Its silent womb
Where I can sleep
So sound is my sleep
I feel like I was dead
I won't
Turn back
To your embrace
Where I belong
My love, my exile
Bringing the sound of this
Song from afar
Taking my soul far from me
My body and mind
Blaming and blessing
This chance to escape this agony
Will you find me
By the thunder?
Will you see me
Through the fog?
Will you find me
When I am far?
Will you catch me
As I fall?
My love, my exile
Song from afar
My body and mind
Blaming and blessing
When you gaze into your polished metal plates
You picture the face of a man who longs to see his soul
But claws are claws, whether sharpened or painted or blunted
From hours of bounding, one-track-minded, through the snow
I have arrived, an exile too inferior for your highness to fight
Armored, not humored, and prepared to seize your life
The prisoner I came to rescue sits down to watch the fight
With tears in her eyes,
Who knew a tongue could do so much harm
Lying in one's mouth?
Dancing to music that wasn't really there
Muttering about moments we never even shared
Your twisted jaw moves
But you've lost all sound
How soon till your breath runs out?
When the others gaze into your polished eyes
As glassy as the doll's you hold to represent your soul
They witness the face of an animal acting like a man
In their confusion, you dressed them in sashes and perfume,
But the stench seeps through
I long to scream, "My country,
This is not how we were supposed to live!"
And with each mortifying blow, I'm fading rapidly
"Get up!" I hear that faithful onlooker plead
She won't insult me by looking away
When I start to bleed
Who knew a tongue could do so much harm
Lying in one's mouth?
Dancing to music that wasn't really there
Muttering about moments we never even shared
Your twisted jaw moves
But you've lost all sound
How soon till your breath runs out?
One leap, one strike, and the metal snaps away from your face
That chattering jaw comes unhinged
And your insincere tongue hangs down from your neck
I plunge through the ribs and grasp the steaming, slippery heart
It slides down my throat and I am king again
"Tear down these garish walls and let the prisoners free!
Throw their gaudy stones out to the sea!
Rip these dolls limb from limb, claws proudly unsheathed!
As a straight line heading north-west echoes nowhere
A few marks on the dashboard of disaster
Some names glitter on the glitter, clouds caught in thin air
Go ahead, try living happy every after
The cold meets against the coast, steal miller's daughter
Raised against the backhand of the north
Order up a round, I'll have another
Oh, labor will have us anyway on all fours
There's no man to dig a hole without forgiveness
Unless it's near where fortune comes to cry
Curl up beneath the stars and those resting on the bars
Come talk to me begging a ripple drowned and high
Can't you see the darkness beside your sons?
The teeth are grinding up somewhere the dead grass
Chewing all the rusted hopefulness of options
A thousand times as wild as roger's path
There's no man to dig a hole without forgiveness
Unless it's near where fortune comes to cry
Flags will rise against you, you'll stay still on the surface
Maybe here's a place where fortune comes to die
Here's a place where fortune comes to die
