Hey you
She's gonna get you If you go walking by This corner slow Don't think she's gonna let you leave Just because you want to go Boy you Ain't seen nothing yet It's a long train of regret Puppets get No second chance Pull that string They gotta dance Parellel addiction is A double crucifixion When you're always out there Feeding your head Always channel surfing cause Your brain it isn't working When you're looking for That moment just remember Don't look Don't stray Don't talk it over No time No way Listen to me I'm cold sober You're just out there Taunting cobras Hey you Who's gonna warn you When it's something You don't want to know Don't think It won't deform you Twist your mind Then let it go Boy you Ain't seen nothing yet It's a long train of regret Puppets get No second chance Pull that string They gotta dance Welcome to the prison Let me tell ya What you're missing I've been coming here For nearly a year Out there was my corner 'Till I came in for a water Mixed with whiskey And a chaser of Sideways glances Don't look Don't stray Don't talk it over No time No way Listen to me I'm cold sober You're just out there Taunting cobras Don't look Don't stray Don't talk it over No time No way Listen to me I'm cold sober You're just out there Taunting cobras |

Edge Of Thorns
by Savatage An offering of reasons We put them all away A covering of treasons That one by one we let slip away A solitary dancer So lost upon her stage I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore A study made of winter Of summers long ago And dreams that use to glitter Safely now hidden under snow And so we end this chapter And let the stage lights fade I have seen you on the edge of dawn Felt you there before you were born Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns But I don't think about you anymore |

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

Among the images of dear departed
Here with memories so closely guarded There's an old man standing all alone As he waits among the unforgiven Here among the souls no longer living Lost in chains of sin still unatoned He carves his stone Well a man's got to do what a man must do But I'll never give my soul to you No fallen angel's prophecy Will ever take hold of the man you see So here I stand all alone With chisel in hand I work my stone And leave a message for all to see I've lived a life of insanity And carve that stone And on that final night You know I dream of you And in a flash of light I carved that stone right through Yeah I carved that stone right through |

Jesus was a talker Out of place New Yorker Hung out on the boulevard Sellin' nickel candies Saving all his quarters Bought himself a cheap guitar Started playing' bars The kids came in their cars You'd hear them shouting at the stage Chorus Jesus saves Jesus saves Jesus started changin' Things got really strange He saw his tee shirts everywhere Started missing shows The band came down to blows But Jesus He no longer cared Things got out of hand And so he quit the band But still the critics they would rave Jesus saves Jesus saves Her him cut through the night On your late night radio waves So the dice were cast Today became the past And Jesus He just disappeared Headed for New York Or so his label thought And there he gave away the years Last seen drinking wine Beneath a flashing sign Promising salvation to strays Jesus saves Jesus saves Her Him cut through the night On your late night radio waves |

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

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

Someone
Got themselves a letter In the mail the other day It's already worn and tattered And I guess It gives away All the things we keep inside All the things that really matter The face puts on its best disguise And all is well Until the heart Betrays She knows As she reads the letter That things were bound to stray Winds blow She pulls her coat tighter And the letter flies away With all the things she keeps inside All the things that really matter The face puts on its best disguise And all is well Until the heart betrays Lord bring on the night Wrap it all around me Let it hold me tight Soak up all that I bleed And I'll fly away Yeah I'll fly away Yeah I'll fly away Watch me Lord bring on the night Wrap it all around me Let it hold me tight Soak up all that I bleed I bleed |

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

On the sea
They heard the voices sing Through the storm The island's closing in They'd heard tales Of lives lost at sea Deserted beach just beyond their reach You're approaching the island of the Sirens Sirens Hungry for man tonight Sirens Sirens Claiming the sailors' lives Nine men made it to a shore A night of terror Lies neatly in store Who are those women? Are they real? Is this just a crazy dream? You're approaching the island of the Sirens Sirens Hungry for flesh tonight Sirens Sirens Claiming the sailors' lives Terror happens quickly Remains till the sailors are gone They vanished in the night Sirens singing their song Whoa -- till they're gone... ALL RIGHT!! |

Another sleepless night
A concrete paradise Sirens screaming in the heat Neon cuts the eye As the jester sighs At the world beneath his feet It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light Balanced on their knives Little parts of lives Such a strange reality Kill the unicorn Just to have its horn Soon he's just a fantasy It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light The jester takes his bows Slips into the crowd As the actors fade away Another death to mourn Another child is born Another chapter in the play It's a gutter ballet Just a menagerie Still the orchestra plays On a dark and lonely night To a distant fading light |

Hi - welcome to hell
you are all here for this where you must dwell sinners and cheats sit here with Satan and have all your spirits meet Oh city beneath the surface above how you survive on evil and blood you breathers in this space you never can leave this place Die - we all must die how will you face it when you bend to your knees and cry Burn - like witches burn when will you sinners believe that it's your time to learn? Oh city beneath the surface above how you survive on evil and blood you breathers in this space you never can leave this place Oh city beneath the surface above how you survive on evil and blood you breathers in this space you never can leave this place You breathe earth's inner space You never can leave this place Punished for the way that you lived raping and stealing but never one thought to give here forever - not a trail or a trace total illusions of tales of the unholy place |

She is a native of the stormy skies, yeah
I, I caught a glimpse from the depths of my eyes Atop a black winged mare Casting a wicked stare She throws her head back And rides into the night She flies strange wings Behind a thin disguise She flies strange wings Still tears she cries Oh I, I followed her To the brink of dawn, yeah She, she took control of my very soul, yeah She's still a mystery In her arms I long to be I don't know why I turn and reach to the sky She flies strange wings Behind a thin disguise She flies strange wings Still tears she cries She flies strange wings Behind a thin disguise She flies strange wings Still tears she cries Strange Wings Behind a thin disguise Strange Wings |

When The Crowds Are Gone
by Savatage I don't know where the years have gone Memories can only last so long Like faded photographs, forgotten songs And the things I never knew When the skin is thin, the heart shows through Please believe me what I tell you is true Where's the lights, turn 'em on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story's over when the crowds have gone All my friends have been crucified Made life a long suicide true Guess we never figured out the rules But I'm still alive, my fingers feel Gonna play on till the final reel's through And read the credits from a different view Where's the lights, turn 'em on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story's over when the crowds have gone When the crowds are gone When the crowds are gone And I'm all alone Playing the saddest song Now that the lights are gone Turn them on again One more time for me my friend Turn 'em on again I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time Till time wasted me Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay 'Cause the persons I am Are the parts that I play So I plot and I plan Hope and I scheme To the lure of a night Filled with unfinished dreams I'm holding on tight To a world gone astray As they charge me for years I can no longer pay Turn 'em on again (repeat) I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time Till time wasted me I Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay 'Cause the persons I am Are the parts that I play The parts I play And the light Turn then off my friend And the ghosts Well just let them in Cause in the dark It's easier to see |

You got civilian planes crashing to the oceans Airports full of terrorists Nagi skins anarchists When are they gonna learn Better listen to me you son of a bitch Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch You have no goddamn right to do the things you do The world would be a better place if we were rid of you Of rage and war [4 times] Every country's got the bomb The scientists are working on Chemical weapons to melt the flesh With no source of defense Shoot me I'll shoot you Like there's nothing better to do Who's the loser in the end Better listen to me you son of a bitch Better disarm those missiles sleeping in the ditch You have no goddamn right to do the things you do The world would be a better place if we were rid of you Of rage and war [4 times] War broods in foreign lands Missiles launch upon command Islam Lebanon what the hell is going on Ambassadors who say they try Negotiating suicide Are they prepared to face the end Of rage and war [4 times] |

Down in the dungeons
Of concrete and terror Candles light the way Can you hear me say? The dungeons are calling The dungeons are calling for me I can't escape This den must be hell Pleasures of freedom Denied me in this cell I steal from my friends Victims of my pain Its nearing the end I live like the dead The dungeons are calling Calling for me--oh! The dungeons are calling The rack waits for me Down in the dungeons I'm locked away Suicide ride I take everday Prisoner in hell Victim in pain The dungeons are calling for me None of my friends Want to come out and play They think i'm crazy But what can i say? Prisoner in hell Victim in pain It's nearing the end I live like the dead The dungeons are calling Calling for me The dungeons are calling The rack waits for me |

Sun sets on the moor
The cry of the hounds live forevermore Stalking the night They roam the countryside till morning's light CHORUS: Do you hear the hounds they call Scan the dark eyes aglow Through the bitter rain and cold they hunt you down Hunt you down They run wild and free Across the fields and valleys of their native land Nature's beasts deranged Beyond belief no one understands CHORUS Can you hear them in the night They got you in their sight CHORUS |

Far away
In a land caught between time and space Where the books of life lay Within this castle of stone The mountain king roams All alone in here But he's not the only one Lost inside Forever hidden from the sun Madness reigns In the hall of the mountain king Oh yeah His deep Dark eyes keep watch on his kingdom And mysteries that sleep safe inside His hall His towers of stone Shall not be overthrown For eternity They are guarded by the king Insanity and the power that it brings Madness reigns In the hall of the mountain king Oh yeah Come with me Stay close by my side As the darkness of night closes in Don't fear In the thunder, it roars When the mountain king calls all his children home To where I hid him we must run Refuge here But I was forever on the run Madness reigns, my friends... In the hall of the mountain king Oh yeah In the hall of the mountain king |
