Takasaki Akira [Guitar, Loudness]

I've been searching
Thru this heart of mine
Feeling captured
By a world of changes
Silent pictures
In the course of time
Lead me gently
Thru the open pages

(Chorus)
How long
Can we keep holding on
Are we only a step away
What's left
When all the hope is gone
Leaving only the pain -- deep
Inside

I remember
How it used to be
Long before we felt
The hand of sorrow
Holding traces of a memory
On empty pages
Where there's no tomorrow

(Chorus)

Now I can't believe
You left me just
Twenty-five days from home
"Twenty-five days from home"
You've takin' the dreams
And left me just
Twenty-five days from home
"Twenty-five days from home"
Now I can't explain
Nothing's the same
Without your love
"Twenty-five days from home"
No, I can't believe
I'm alone
Twenty-five days from home
"Twenty-five days from home"

you live the life of a strager
you try to hide from youself
but now your living in danger
of loving somebody else

in the broken silence of your cries
you make it easy to see
like a prisoner lost in your disguise
and that's why you'll always be....

hey! play for you're pressure ..look out
the daner of love
hey! play for the danger ..look out
the danger of love

nobody knows your got troble
that's why you came to this place
and this masquerade is just your way
of hiding tears on your face

before you let it go too far
you've got to tear down the wall
and the mask i see is telling me
you ran away from it all..

hey! lost of the danger .look out
the dangere of love
hey! stranger in danger...look out
i.m a danger of love
hey! face of your pressure...look out
it,s the danger of love
hey! play for the danger...look out
the danger of love

we are the chosen the keepers of all we know
we are the future of all we believe

we are children who reached the open door
but all we found was demon disease

where can we go from the terror within
we must be guilty if love is a sin..
how can we live to be proud of the flag
when politicians are part of the plague

*from the father to sons
our dreams will carry on
and the power to be
will fight for you and me..demon disease

we live the fire of illusions and fantasy
sometimes it's harder to take than to give
and as we opened the door to reality
we saw the demon who's dying to live

**how can we run when there's nowhere to hide
i'm not a stranger with no one to ride
is there a chance for the young to be old
the heat is on but we're out in the cold

Fading light, broken hearts, I left
Them all behind
Turned to stone, I choose to roam
The wild world
Broken dreams, pools of tears,
Nothing do they mean
Came the night, to pay the price
Of love

(Chorus)
I see the faces in the fire, still
Burning
I feel the hunger of the flame,
Reaching to me
I see the faces in the fire, I'm
Learning
I'm just a fool in Paradise, (in
love) and I'll never get free

I turned away so long ago,
Looking for the change
My promises, they rode upon the
Wind
Came the night the air was cold,
With a flood of memories
Coming back to haunt my empty
Soul

(8 counts -- top of 3rd bar)

(Chorus)

In my dreams, I was walking alone.
The rain falling on my emptiness
In my dreams, I'm a long way from home.
I walk through the gates of loneliness.
I thought the love we had was in vain.
And Just another story.
My frozen tears, like the wind against the rain.
Slipping from my eyes
In my dreams, in my dreams, without you

In my dreams, shadows fall on my face.
And every corner is a different place.
In my vision, I would knock on your door.
I'd lost all that I was searching for.
I thought the sun had come to an end.
And you were gone forever.
A change of heart, like the echoes in the dark
I fade in to the sea.

In my dreams, I was turning to stone,
until you opened up my eyes.
Wow...
