Pretty Maids - The Best Of...back To Back [compilation] (2003) by Pretty Maids (보컬) on maniadb.com

Ride
They came at dawn
into the morning light
black shadows ridin' on the mist
prepared for battle
swords were shinin' bright
filled with anger and harm
came to kill not to charm

The sound of metal
screamin' in the air
the time has come where justice rules
the endless victims
looking up in fear
now who were the fools

[Chorus:]
Oh here they come
riders of the sun
and they will fight
back to back - back to back

They're fighting hard
their way of victory
dead bodies lying on the ground
they are the soldiers of eternity
and their swords spinnin' around

[Chorus]

They're fightin' with power, ready to ride let go

[Solo]

They got it all
they'll never fall
but they will fight
The night is fallin'
light will disappear
a magic silence fills the place
could read the warning
shinin' crystal clear
now they were lost for the chase

[Chorus]
No - no - no - no

Someone dies and as we close our eyes
Another hungry child will starve away
Say a prayer, we've got to be aware
If we're the ones to face another day

When my pleasure turns to pain
When I'm scared
I'm caught in a lifetime
Since the world has gone insane
Try to hold on
Open your eyes

Pay attention
The end is not that far away
Attention
We're heading towards judgement day
Run run away

Identify yourself, dehumanised
Too much computerized
Man of tomorrow
We can't avoid
A worldwide suicide
If we don't
Hold back the fire that's coming on

When my pleasure turns to pain
When I'm scared
I'm caught in a lifetime
Since the world has gone insane
Try to hold on
Open your eyes

[Chorus]

I've seen the new horizons
There is no true escape
There ain't no compromising
Can't pull the breaks
And so we're living in the shadows
Of supernational fools
Who reign and rule
Control our destiny
This is an emergency
It's not the way it's meant to be

[Chorus]

They shout in the streets of
Rangoon
a young revolution in bloom
uprising among the Chinese
for justice and freedom of speach

Stand up in line
speak out your mind
fight for your right to believe
leave your misery
die with dignity
cry for justice when you long for it
want it

Dead or alive
gonna hold your fire high
stand up for your reasons
dead or alive
its a game of do or die
in your fight for freedom

Oppress you with muscle and might
they fear the rebellion in sight
with evil tyrannic regimes
they rule but they can't kill your
dreams

Scream it out loud
they're deaf to the crowd
ignore your demands to be free
free and break your bonds
never bow to no one
cry for justice within you long for it
want it

[Chorus]

All for the cause is warth the price
another human sacrifice
another spill of blood on the bricks
beyond their minds as cold as ice
beyond their little white washed lies
love don't exist

[Chorus]

I don't need your pity

Misbelief or sympathy

I don't need no doctor, shrink

Or psycotherapy

Who are you to say you're sorry

If I were to die

Who are you to complain

When you're got your piece of the pie



Out of the closet, out of your hole

Out of your hard carned place

But don't you push your luck

I'll take that big while grin

Straight off your face



Look at all those smiling faces

preaching on TV

I don't need their polities

To stir my fantasies

To watch the late night news

It scares me to the bone

When I read the papers

I feel naked and alone



When it all comes down

Is there anything that justifies

The things we do

When it all comes down

There's a reason for the pain

We must be goin' through



Same greasy dirty young man

Traveling to the cast

When a bird comes to flying

Further dreams can be released

Same little flashes

Waving banners cross your line

When at first you walk with me

You'll then set free the mind



I see my future

Being washed up on the store

I feel I've been through this

I've seen it all before

Too young to know
Too proud to show
Your hurt feelings
But since you ran away
You left my heart of clay
I'm trying to hide away
From the bitter truth

Oh, and the nights are colder
I close my eyes as I think of you
I wanna feel you

If it wasn't for the night
You swept my heart away
Baby, let me be the one
To wipe the tears from your face
Am I ever gonna drown
Into your eyes again
Forever and eternal
Love you right till the end

We can't pretend to let it end
It's got no ending
'Cause we both know too well
We're only hurting ourselves
We've been standing on the wrong side of love
For too long

And as my day seems endless now
I miss you so when you're not here
Oh woman, I need your love

Chorus

You'd rather live in this eternal place
Where heaven and its light
Will dawn on us, yeah
We've been down for so long
And I feel so lonely, yeah
I need your love, baby

We were born to be the ones
And forever wanna love
Love you till we two be stone

Chorus

So baby, ooh
I really need you, baby, yeah
I really need your love, ooh
I really want you, baby, ooh

I walk the lonely plains
Drift into the distance
Out on a rainy shore
Somewhere in time
Recall a thousand names
All of those we're missing
Out there I'm searching for
A little peace of mind

Who am I to rely on a broken dream
Just a loner in the night

Whenever we lose someone
Whenever we say goodbye
And after the fire's gone
When every flame has died
There will beat a savage heart

Another soldier falls
Dies for God and country
When there's no time for talking
It's time for the guns
Out where the wild wind blows
I'm free as a bird
If I could only transfer
Dreams into words

I'm aware; I'll be there, when tomorrow comes
Guided by the inner light

Whenever we lose someone
Whenever we say goodbye
And after the fire's gone
When every flame has died
There is still a savage heart

We build our world of flesh and blood
Would you really like to know
If there's a place for all of us
All of us

Who am I to rely on a broken dream
Now my world has blown apart
I'm a man with a savage heart

(Chorus)

Now wait a minute baby

Don't leave me, don't go

We'll work it out like we've done before

Another lonely night

Without you by my side

Can't take it, can't take it no more



A romantic chase

Two hearts out of phase

When love strikes, I'm out of control

Frustrating my mind

You know love is blind

Reflecting what's deep in my soul



The passion that rules

A feeling so strong

I just can't turn away from you

I may be a fool

But this can't go wrong

I was made for you



Love games

Two people together

Love games

Playing to win

Love games

We're dealing forever in sin

Forever in sin



Caught up in the game

And there's no one to blame

Inside this casino of love

Just messing around

With the face of a clown

Playing until I've had enough



You're rolling the dice

I'm stripped by your eyes

I can't stand the way you're teasing

As sly as a snake

You got all that it takes

You'll make a heart stop beating








Since the first time you touched me

Just one time too much

Brought me down on my knees

Since the first time we kissed

I was more than possessed

I was eager to please

Here we are standing at a crossroads baby
Can't seem to make a move
Don't know which way to choose
We used to fly into the heavens
On the wings of an angel
An everlasting fire
An eternal cruise
Those were the good times

Stolen moments underneath a full moon rising
We both laid down with love
And woke up with lies
Gonna give it one more try

Here we are picking up the pieces
Trying to get this puzzle together
We need a cure for this disease
A heeling hand

Though our love has come to a dead end street
And we're stuck where happiness
And heartache meet

You see we can't give it up
It's not too late
You need a little love
Don't hesitate
I swear I'll give it all I've got
To make you stay
So don't you walk away

Once a time and place
There was a bond between us
Something sacred something innocent
We need a star that doesn't fade
And wherever it might lead us
We gotta follow in our hearts direction
I got a feeling girl
We're gonna crash into love

Don't have to back down baby
When love is all around
And it's here to stay
I'll be determined to defend
A tower of strength

Though the best laid plans
Sometimes go astray
There's a guarantee that love will find a way

You see we can't give it up
It's not too late
You need a little love
Don't hesitate
I swear I'll give it all I've got
To make you stay
So don't you walk away

A heart needs love
Like the desert needs the rain
And I need you girl
Each and every day
We'll do the things babe
That others fantasise

(Solo)

Though our love has come to a dead end street
And we're stuck where happiness
And heartache meet
Woman
we just need a little confidence
In each other

Can't give it up
It's not too late
You need a little love
Don't hesitate
I swear I'll give it all I've got
To make you stay
So don't you walk away

We break on through
And step into a new decade
With no regrets for the mistakes
We've made
Prophets and preachers warning
There'll be hell to pay
What do we care anyway

Unfaithful children
Whose blood runs cold
All mighty kingdom
Immortal souls

(Chorus)
Figure it out
We're guilty of the crimes that we create
Figure it out
We rush into another sin-decade

The millions living on
The seven deadly sins
Thinking salvation
Must be close at hand
Godforsaken fools
Born to break the rules
Our fate is written in the sand

Unfaithful children.........

(Chorus)

Face Armageddon
You're trapped in the hands of time
Pray for confession
Accused of the fatal crime

(Chorus)

Tears in his eyes
The fear, oh it never dies
The echoes of the past
Are rolling on and on
For those who were left back
Tomorrow never comes
Oh, it never comes

And after all these years
Something still remains
The forever repercussions
The eternal pain
Another sleepless night
And another break of day
It doesn't matter anymore
His life will fade away
In yellow rain

They crossed the water
Back in '69
They fought for glory
Behind the enemy lines
Fighting for the nations
Pushed into the war
Without not even knowing why
Or what they're fighting for

Oh, oh
Out on the plains
Some are the masters
Some are the slaves
Oh, oh
War is a never-ending mission
You're just a pawn in a game
Where the number is your name

Left home as heroes
Fools when they returned
Blamed for all the damage
And the villages they burned
Betrayed by their leaders
Murderers they were called
Denounced as crazy maniacs
And locked behind the walls

Oh, oh
Out on the plains
Some are the masters
Some are the slaves
Oh, oh
War is a never-ending mission
They are the victims
Doomed to die

In yellow rain
We've seen them dying in the fields
In yellow rain
Just like a knight
Who's in a fight, without a shield

Oh no
Try to forget, but it just won't go
Oh no
Forever in their memories
Oh no
Hell's just some thousand miles away
Oh no no

Oh, oh
Out on the plains
Some are the masters
Some are the slaves
Oh, oh
War is a never-ending mission
They are the victims
Doomed to die

People think I'm carzy
in a schizophrenic
state of mind
mother Mary save me
from my darkest hour come
alive

In decline
beyond this tortured mind
I feel intoxicated
desolated

Images of evil
scenes of suffering
inside my head
I'm falling into pieces
I'll close my eyes

Before I bleed to death
In my dreams
it all becomes my world of fiction
contradictions

Twisted that's what I am
ride the road to ruin
I'm losing stand
don't know what I'm doing
it's slippin' through my hands

Oh Lord won't you help me
help now before
it gets too late
I'm burning down the candle
can't you hold on back
the hands of fate

Through my wreatched visions
mental exhibition
blind confusion
disillusions

(Chorus)

Screamin' out to no one's ears
I suffocate inside my fear
I'm out of control
cause when the light are getting
dim
that's when my soul begs me to
sin
Lord take me home

(Chorus)

In the distant
Far away
Trying to figure it out
But I can't explain
Now we see it
Now we don't
We're floating around
In the unknown zone
Watch the starlight
Shooting for the sky
Reaching out to catch
A piece of Paradise
Is it true
Or just imaginations
Visions twist around my mind
And brings me shelter from the night
Where do we go
Where do we go from here
When do we finally disappear
Oh future world
There's nothing left to save
They blew it all away
Future world
Tonight we're riding on
The final escape
Is it heaven
Is it hell
Is it the afterworld
Or just something else
Are we prisoners in Nowhereland
Where darkness is your only friend
Kept inside this wall of sleep
Have we fallen into a deep freeze
Left the wastelands
Broke the lines
Crossed the border to another time
Being drawn by the fates
Who run our destinies
Stranded in a state of life
Where dreams become reality
Where do we go
Where do we go from here
When do we finally disappear
Oh future world
There's nothing left to save
They blew it all away
Future world
Tonight we're riding on
The final escape
In troubled times
We saw the writing on the wall
We heard the fools
Who brought the human race to fall
We'll build another generation
And not destroy the God creation


Oh future world
There's nothing left to save
They blew it all away
Future world
Tonight we're riding on
The final escape
Take your chances
Turn the key
Open up the doors
To another history
Here's no questions
No demands
Here's the future
This is wonderland

Don't try to talk to your mother
she won't understand
she says you're crazy, boy you're runnig wild
don't try to talk to your father
he won't give a damn
saying you're lazy and a problem child

You've got to be strong
if you will survive, stay alive

Well they can kick they can beat
knock us down to the ground
but we will rise and we will march again
cause we are the heat, we are the sound
of rolling thunder in the yeah

And so we are here
and we won't give up, we won't stop

[Chorus:]
Red hot and heavy - the way it's gonna be
Red hot and heavy - now don't you see
Red hot and heavy - we're bringin' you down
so touch the ground

You know the big revolution
it's gonna be so
out in the streets we're gonna shout it out
you know the final solution
it's rock'n roll
that's what we need and we will keep it loud

And so we are here
for a night on town
rock this city down

[Chorus]

[Solo]
