Somewhere in this universe of lost forgotten dreams
The silence weaves a tapestry of once enchanted themes The shadows listen carefully and question what it means For stories have lives of their own But what good's a story whose end is unknown Stay with me For the little night that's left to be For a moment in a memory That time cannot defile Stay with me Where the night still offers amnesty And the ending is tomorrow's unborn child And stay with me awhile The darkness covers everything and carefully watches all It hides behind the storm's lightning and cushions every fall And everything it witnesses it always can recall Like things that the heart can regret Bury in time and then try to forget Stay with me For the little night that's left to be For a moment in a memory That time cannot defile Stay with me While the night still offers amnesty And the ending is still yet to be tomorrow's unborn child And stay with me awhile |

Here on this night
Behind walls made of stone Where no one can enter and The dark dreams alone But now someone's entered The walls are defied The shadows they watched While the dark sympathized But there in the silence There in the silence There in the silence Something hides Something lies Something dies Something breathes The mind can imagine The dark can deceive And here on this night Together they weave A shadow's repentance A forgotten life All brought together In the mercy of night But there in the silence There in the silence There in the silence Something hides Something lies Something dies Something breathes |

Do you see commissar
The night is darker Do you think commissar Their dreams are starker Do you hear commissar The night is breathing Could it be commissar We should be leaving Now before the curtain Does comes crashing down Do you hear commissar The night is silent Do you think commissar It is defiance Do you see commissar The mob has faces Could it be commissar The dark embraces All as darkness will And in that dark we'll drown Cities, towns We've torn them down And all we've found Are relics in a cemetery But never fear I will stay near And to the dark I will be your emissary Knights on horseback Bishops pacing All are losing ground The pawn is now a queen He's moved across the board unseen The move is down I believe That we've intrigued for far too long But now i think the plot has ended A quick retreat Into the street Admit defeat And hope our moves will be defended Across their throats The blade does wander They die without a sound Who'd have thought we'd meet As bones beneath the dragons feet The wall is down |

As the steam from the street starts to rise
The gutter whispers That the moon like a child has arrived The dark has missed her And the light that she lends is a guide Among her shadows Like the ghost from the past that survive And you ask me now What is my intent Here among the ruins Cloaked in false pretence And how do i belong I seek power Where the power remains I seek power In the back of your brain How will you see me If you don't know where i hide How will you bleed me If i am somewhere inside In the ashes of empires lost A distant warning On the danger of ignoring cost and children mourning As the memories cloud in our mind The past can glitter And so it has been designed I know every lie That the mind invents Though they're well disguised And cloaked in innocence And how do i belong I seek power Where the power remains I seek power Like the kiss of cocaine I seek power As the darkness descends I seek power And i'll have it again I seek power Where the power remains I seek power Like the kiss of cocaine I seek power When it's not always wise I seek power For the power survives |

There's a thief on a summer's night
Across an ocean Who sees another's life fading away And of this life he writes Without emotion Then pushes it from sight Somewhere faraway To a distant land Every tear betrayed And never makes And never makes And never makes And never makes a stand Makes a stand Lord there's something wrong Makes a stand Could a star's forgotten light A child's devotion Embrace eternal night In shallow graves As we watch from distant heights No breath or motion Still every ghost must haunt in its own way Sleep beneath my dreams Safe within my hands Where i never under Never under Never understand Lord there's something wrong No one remembers No one denies No one asks questions No one replies Here nothing enters Nothing departs Here nothing's ended If nothing starts In your life could you carry on Could you never think about it Till in time you start to doubt it Then you close your eyes Is it really gone How in truth can you defend her If you're really not remembering No regrets If you just forget If a memory is lenient You can find it most convenient So you let it fade Till it's very vague Just a silhouette of shadows But the shadows are still lingering Still i hold you there With your endless stare I'm too old to be living this Lived to long to be given this Can our god be forgiving this I had a light that shined Across my mind Rarely see it any more Now it is mostly dark Accept for sparks Can't remember what they're for I am the morphine child The dream defiled The never ending metaphor I am the wizard oz Result and cause Never look behind that door Cantations Cantations Cantations Cantations Never listen to the crowd before me Never listen to the self ordained Never really wanted to believe it any way Time is fading Night is calling I am on my way Turn around turn around Turn around turn around Time is fading Night is calling I am on my ... |

Jesus
What's the reason For these scars that will never heal Hearts that no longer feel Eyes that can no longer see Jesus What's the reason For this child that will not survive With all her dreams inside Could she mean nothing to thee And jesus please tell me if you can recall Just where you were when this sparrow did fall Jesus What's the reason Every tear isn't weighed the same Could you have died in vain If we have short memories And jesus would you then come down from your cross Return every nail and say we are lost And in the dark we seek your silent company For each hope that arrives and fades from memory Still after all this time our loss you won't concede For in the dead of night the rumor is Your hands they still bleed Still bleed Still bleed Still bleed Jesus It would seem then That somehow you still trust You have more faith than us Perhaps that is how it should be |

There's a man that i used to know
And sometimes he still visits with me When it's late and the alcohol's glow Is nearly gone And it's time to awaken And he looks and he laughs at the sight And he asks what has happened to me And i blame it all on the lights But he smiles and says i'm mistaken And there is no use in disguising What the eye can so clearly see That i've spent my whole life denying That the man in the mirror is me Give me one second chance Give me one final dance Give me one magic line Take a minute off my time Give me one final bow If the moment allows While he stares at the scars Saying just who you are Just who you are Just who you are In a child like illusion of life He imagined the things yet to be But they all disappeared on this night Carry on among the foresaken For there is no use in denying What the eye can so clearly see That one day i too will be dying And the man in the mirror agrees Give me one second chance Give me one final dance Give me one magic line Take a minute off my time Give me one final bow If the moment allows While he stares at the scars Saying just who you are Just who you are Just who you are Just who you ... |

When in your life did you surrender
Late in the night do you remember What were the dreams that you betrayed then Would you go back if you could save them now Did you believe there was something more Waiting behind some forgotten door Or was that all long before You felt the pressure grow inside your brain Where every nerve is on fire You start to wonder if you're going insane It's not a fate you desired Time is running down Moments of reason that we hope to find Are we a thought somewhere in god's mind A work of art that he has never signed No Children and mirrors have no memory They reflect us for that is all they see They are the us that is still yet to be And so we carry on The clock is ticking and your growing afraid That the end will be violent You walk the edges all around your own grave And the gods they are silent Or can not be found Searching your mind for correspondence from Joseph and mary and their only son Is their silence something you have done No And in the end what have you defied To end up so nearly crucified Just let me know when you decide That all hope is gone Come and see him dying For it's really quite a show Walking on a wire Though he never seems to know Even when he's falling You can see a little smile Figures that he's flying Only for a little while The ground is rushing towards him But he never sees it there Lives his life in pieces Always taking every dare What will be the ending Well i'm sure that i don't know The ground is getting closer Come and see the show See the show See the show See the show |

Time
Standing all alone I bled for you I wanted to Each drop my own Slowly they depart But fall in vain Like desert rain And still they fall on and on and on Got to get back to a reason Got to get back to a reason i once knew And this late in the seasons One by one distractions fade from view So Drifting through the dark The sympathy Of night's mercy Inside my heart Is your life the same Do ghosts cry tears Do they feel years As time just goes on and on and on Got to get back to a reason Got to get back to a reason i once knew And this late in the seasons One by one distractions fade from view Years come around Men can be found Following orders Years come around Planning is sound Promises made Years come around Tears on the ground Blood stains the borders Leaders abound Chances are down No one's been saved Give me one reason For this dark treason Every chance unsaid Turn around All dead What went wrong [various international news reports] Give me one reason For this dark treason Every chance unsaid Turn around All dead What went wrong Drink until you drown What else can i say When you're falling down You seek the ground It's never far away Can you live your life Completely in a fall Until you're found Well underground Your marker very small As my world it keeps on spinning round Have to get away Have to ease the pain I embrace the morphine child And pump it in my veins Burning through my heart Fills in every hole Makes my mind so blissful numb And replaces my soul Every moment drags me further Down down down down down down ... Got to get back to a reason Got to get back to a reason i once knew And this late in the seasons One by one distractions fade from view The only reason i have left ... Is you |

[intro to Jesus saves spoken by the bum
"Hey, man, got a quarter? You ain't got nothin' that's ok man, that's ok. God bless you anyway. Here, I hope I didn't scare you or nothing like that. I, I ain't no bum or nothing like that. Yeah, I I use to live uptown once once before too you know. No, no, I did I did really. Use to come down here and look at all the characters. Never thought I'd be one of them though. Characters, man a lot of characters. He he, you got a minute, you got a minute, let me tell you a story about this friend of mine. D.T. Jesus use to stand for Down Town Jesus. He use to sell drugs and stuff down there, and they called him - that's why we use to call him DeTox. He was one character, one character that made it outa here. Let me tell you about him."] Jesus was a talker Just an out-of-place New Yorker He hung out on the boulevard He was sellin' nickel candies He was saving up all his quarters Bought himself a cheap guitar Started playin' bars Kids came in their cars Hear them shouting at the stage Jesus saves Jesus saves Yes he does Jesus saves You know Jesus he started changin' Things got really strange He saw his tee shirts everywhere He started missing shows The band came down to blows But Jesus he just didn't care Things got out of hand And so he quit the band Still the critics they would rave Jesus saves Jesus saves Yes he does Jesus saves So the dice were cast Today become the past Jesus just disappeared He was headed for New York Or so his little 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 Yes he does Jesus saves Hear him cut through the night On those late night radio waves Jesus saves Yes he does Jesus saves |

The night is growing dark From somewhere deep within It shelters like an ark That always takes you in The barmaid walks on over And pours another round For a lost soul at the corner Who prays he's never found And the mind goes numb Until 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 your 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 had 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 There's an old man in the corner And he's smoking all the time An the smoke is drifting upward and it's Twisting in my Twisting in my Mind In my mind The whiskey's getting deeper And I use it like a moat There's a blues man in the distance and he's Lost inside his Note His note The night is growing dark From somewhere deep within It shelters like an ark That always takes you in And the night rolls on Like a slow moving train And the soul cries out For an handful of rain |

Walking alone on a cold night
Chills rattle through my bones The way she looks it shocks me Standing at the door that leads below There's a light at the end of the hall Can I reach it before I fall She's unusual So unusual In a daze I turn to run A thousand steps to her arms Does she really want to touch me I see it in her eyes See it in her eyes No I follow through very slowly When I get there she's gone She's unusual So unusual I know some things can't be right Ghostly visions of delight She tells me of a better life The way she looks it blows my mind silhouette cast in time Temptress of the night is calling me Does she really want to touch me I can see it in her eyes Snakes of fire hypnotize her Seductress of lost lives There's a light at the end of the hall CAn I reach it before I fall She's unusual So unusual She's unusual So unusual |

The warrior stands alone Visions of the fighting past A thousands tales are told Immortal Let the battles of street life begin Don some leathers and chains They live their life And they feel their own pain The times that is chilling their bones And they can't get away Alone in the cold Watching night turn into day Armed to attack The soldiers react Kill or be killed Is the life they live Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world On the streets they are roaming the night Out to claim their domain One more Pointless battle With nothing to gain And life is a hell for them Living with the shadows of death Scratching and clawing Till no souls are left Armed to attack The soldiers react Kill or be killed Is the life they live Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world They call the streets of hell their home They're not alone A thousands tales are told The streets of hell their home Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world Warriors, Warriors Warriors of the world |

So after all these one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand A child alone On your own Retreating Regretful for the things you're not And all dreams you haven't got Without a home A heart of stone Lies bleeding And for all the roads you followed And for all you did not find And for all the things you had to leave behind I am the way I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Don't turn away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave All I ask of you Believe Your childhood eyes were so intense While bartering your innocence For bits of string Grown-up wings You needed But when you had to add them up You found that they were not enough To get you in Pay for sins repeated And for all the years you borrowed And for all the tears you cried And for all the fears you had to keep inside I am the way I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Don't turn away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave And all I ask of you is Believe 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 person 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 And I'm holding on tight To a world gone astray As they charge me for years I can't pay I am the way I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Don't turn away Just take my hand And when you make your final stand I'll be right there I'll never leave And all I ask of you is Believe Believe |

In the town of Sarajevo, there's an old medieval square
There's a church aside one corner most believe was always there It was built a thousand years before any now were born And its glory was its belfry with its stones all gray... and worn Now there's a gargoyle on that belfry and he's been up there for years And he has watched and he has pondered: "What is laughter, what are tears?" And he's never found his answers as he sees the years go by But he watches and he wonders with his stone unblinking eyes |

Watching in silence, I hesitate: It was not in the plans
All of our lives we could only wait: It was out of our hands And every war where we took the day, it was all in our heads And though in the dark we dream at night, they were better unsaid But this is the time and this is the place And these are the signs that we must embrace The moment is now, in all history The time has arrived and this is the one place to be Yeah, yeah We placed our years in the hourglass, they were never unearned And we seemed destined to watch them pass - it was never our turn But this is the time and this is the place And these are the signs that we must embrace The moment is now, in all history The time has arrived and this is the one place to be Yeah, yeah This is the time and this is the place And these are the signs that we must embrace The moment is now, in all history The time has arrived and this is the one place to be Yeah, yeah |

We dared to ask for more
But that was long before the nights began to burn You would have thought we'd learned You can't make promises all based upon tomorrow Happiness, security are words we only borrowed For is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant The future couldn't last, we nailed it to the past With every word a trap that no one can take Back from all the architects who find their towers leaning And every prayer we pray at night has somehow lost its meaning For is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant A long time ago when the world was pretty Standing right here in a different city They're not coming back any more They're not coming back any... Is this the answer to our prayers, is this was God has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant |

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 |

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 |

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 beyong 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 sailor are gone They vanished in the night Sirens singing their song Whoa--till they're gone...

You were never one for waiting
Still I always thought you'd wait for me And have you from your dreams awakened And from where you are what do you see Which of us is now in exile Which in need of amnesty Are you now but an illusion In my mind alone you breathe You believed in things that I will never know You were out there drowning but it never showed Till inside a rainswept night you just let go You've thrown it all away And now we'll never see the ending to the play The grand design, the final line And what was meant to be In the dark a distant runner Now has disappeared into the night Leaving us to stand and wonder Staring from this end into your life You believed in things that I will never know You were out there drowning but it never showed 'Til inside a rainswept night you just let go You've thrown it all away And now we'll never see the ending to the play The grand design, the final line And what was meant to be And if this is all illusion Nothing more than pure delusion Clinging to a fading fantasy Like Icarus who heeds the calling Of a sun but now is falling As the feathers of his life fall free Can you see See Tomorrow and after You tell me what am I to do I stand here believing That in the dark there is a clue Perhaps inside this midnight sky Perhaps tomorrow's newborn eyes Or could it be, we'll never know And after all this was the show What am I to do Gotta get back Gotta get back Gotta get back What am I to do Gotta get back Gotta get back Gotta get back What am I to do Standing on a dream isn't what it seems Could we then reclaim a dream refused Knowing what we know could we let it go Realizing that all the years are used Tomorrow and after You tell me what am I to do I stand here believing That in the dark there is a clue I am the way, I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Tomorrow and after You tell me what am I to do I stand here believing That in the dark there is a clue |

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 Turn 'em on again 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 |

Pounding the world like a battering ram
Forging the furnace for the final grand slam Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none Hammering anvils straining muscle and might Shattering blows crashing browbeating fright Fast devastating and desolisating the curse Blasting the cannons of truth through each man of this earth Wielding the axe comes the one culmination That's always seemed certain to bring down the curtain on greed Sifting the good from the bad it's the age for the rage Of the dogs which must fall to the just and be free Now grate for the vandals who trampled and sampled Till this place conditioned brought forth demolition to war The slipping and sliding corrosive subsiding That withered and wained till the world seemed all drained fills the bay Pounding the world like a battering ram Forging the furnace for the final grand slam Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none Second to none |

Trapped in by fear Ordered for the rest of my life Condemned in a jail cell Ain't seen life in years Escape is the only way out Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me My sanity is all but gone My patience is growing very weak I need to get a hold of my self I stare at the wall For the right time has come Escape must occur on this night Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me Stand in my way And I`ll run you straight through There no one to stop me now For I on the loose And I`m ready to start Torture and hell in this town Over The Wall!!! The search will not stop And hounds will not rest Till I am back in my cell For if I am caught, I`ll try it again Over the wall I`ll go, I`ll go!!! Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me |

I didn't mean to offend you But you were way out of line And I can't help the way I feel Who sad I feel fine ? I'll only give you one warning Then you must realize The day of judgement is closing in Your selfish ways bring your demise He who lies Evil pays Who are you ? Who made you anyway ? Wrong or right Who's to say I wanna know Who made you God today Slave to the ways of the system Soon to be crucified I've seen into your darkest fears The ones you cannot hide I know where you go when Your fears start showing You run You cannot hide Will they respect you when You ask of the world "Forgive me for so many lies" ? Is there a need to pretend To be a man, so divine And even if I offended you My truth you can't deny I know where you go when Your fears start showing You run You cannot hide Will they respect you when You ask of the world "Forgive me for so many lies" ? |

I'm gonna take you
To a place far from here No one will see us Watch the pain as it disappears No time for anger No time for despair Won't you come with me There's a room for us there This innocent beauty My words can't describe This rebirth purity Brings a sullen tear right to your eyes No time for anger No time for despair Please let me take you 'cause I'm already there I'm so alone My head's my home I'll return to serenity Rhyme without reason is why children cry They see through the system That's breeding them just so they die So please let me take you And I'll show you the truth Inside my reality We shared in our youth [CHORUS :] I'm so alone My head's my home And I feel So alone You know At last I'll return to serenity ... Now that I've taken you To a place far from here I really must go back Close your eyes and we'll disappear Won't you come with me Salvation we'll share Inside of my head now There's a room for us there CHORUS: |

Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. In 1906 Like the future predicts The city will crumble to the bay Then what's in store When the worlds go to war? Peace will have come another day Then came the one In the year of '41 Warfare would light up the sky He beckoned the call Of the future for all Blinded by what's in his eyes In days of old When the books were untold Speak of a world crushed by sin. "The people will mourn of a war to be born" Nobody would listen to him. Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. Listen to these words I preach Catastrophic lessons they shall teach Listen to these words I preach Catastrophic lessons they shall teach |

When I was but very young
sorcerers came the claim my mind leaving death and hatred to unmask the master of the game had won and let his final sin be know killing those who stand in his path Alone In The Dark where the demons are torturing me the dark passages of revenge is all that I see Armies of witches are called in from north murders of elders occur the high priest of evil has lowered his iron fist thousands of people will die The slaughter of the innocent the house is burning that lights the sky my nightmare has begun to unfold the hissing of the cobras tongue sound and feel of ripping flesh fall two thousand feet from the sky My terror has controlled my life and let my only weakness know I got the rid this hell from my head I fight off evil sorcerers rid my mind of his torture and meet the falling angel in his realm Alone In The Dark where the demons are torturing me the dark passages of revenge is all that I see Faustus prepares the legions of the night diviners from the far north arrive aimlessly people there huddled in a pack wreaking deadly havoc on mankind I fall in my deepest sleep to meet the evil asteroth his title is the grand duke hell I fight until the end is near to rid my mind of hopes and fears my destination lies in my dreams "Set Me Free" When I was but very young sorcerers came the claim my mind leaving death and hatred to unmask the master of the game had won and let his final sin be know killing those who stand in his path Alone In The Dark where the demons are torturing me the dark passages of revenge is all that I see Armies of witches are called in from north murders of elders occur the high priest of evil has lowered his iron fist thousands of people will die |

Summoned to the house of seance
To play the evil tarot cards To find out what our fate will bring us Before the war Approaching now the hour of tiamat Evil feeling in the air The chosen wait impatiently To find the rituals of power Come out of the fire Making the legacy known Predicted by the past Takes its toll at last Now knowing when it strikes The endless fueding shows its fate The people are all shocked with fright They know the end is coming near It`s time to fight The revolution holds on strong The armies have all met their match Entire world up in arms Destruction sees the spirits of anger Come up from the gallows Conjured my demons appear Summoned to my cast, prey this deadly mass Takin?by the fire you fail The world became a vast wasteland Survivors turn to cannibals Killing everything in sight Warfare tonight The armies are all closing in The populations getting small Feelings are as cold as ice Survival names its price Starting to burn The rape and violence grows high A kingdom will rise To rule with contempt They will surprise Kill and repent The weakness in armies "Won큧 die!!!" Leaving now the house of seance Speculating destiny Wonder if the cards were true Will wait to find out and will wait to see |

[Intro & Guitar Solo]
A world of chaos A world of fear A world of anger and corruption When all is lost And millions starve Is this humanity's destruction? Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will they see another day? No one help us, The children pray Nobody listens to their crying This great depression When will it end? To live like this is worse than dying Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will they see another day? Your destiny is over Your fate has declined Refuse to discover What so many could find Death's endless toil As I long for rest Life's now forsaken Condemned to repress! [Guitar Solo] No sign of Heaven No sign of Hell Just the sign of pain and sorrow This generation inhabits all To form an order for tomorrow Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will we see another day? |

Takers of humanity, elders paranoid The time is now Give up this world you once destroyed Society versus the underground Their battles fought and lost the time has come to rule the world at any cost For the past it's too late 'Cause the world can't control fate Shadows cast loud and clear Tell the world the new order's here Cities turn to battlefields a deadly spell is cast corpses falling one by one until the last The preacher speaks of prophecy so many years before No one escapes their punishment the gods of war For the past it's too late 'Cause the world can't control fate Shadows cast loud and clear Tell the world the new order's here Death is like an empty space feel no thoughts of fear the future cries as mother nature sheds a tear The world becomes a prisoner a victim of its crime The human race is now a race against time FOR THE PAST IT'S TOO LATE 'CAUSE THE WORLD CAN'T CONTROL FATE SHADOWS CAST LOUD AND CLEAR TELL THE WORLD THE NEW ORDER'S HERE |

Fuel the fire for war
It's man against mankind Bruises that they bear Been beaten down with time Innocent people suffer the loss Your broken hope so close to the cross Sometimes, you just don't know How low... how low you can go... So low it's sickening Low... Low... show some mercy... Hey you piece of shit Just leave the kids alone Why can't you bear The things that we endure Innocent people suffer the loss Lost hope with faith to the cross Sometimes, you just don't know How low... how low you can go... Show some sympathy Low... Low... show some mercy... [Solo: James] I don't like you for your warped demented ways I hope the lock you down, so you never get away Low... Low... show some sympathy Low... Low... show some mercy... |

Deep in the pit and lying alone
Where death has reared itself a throne We're all the good, the bad The worst and the best And where they land is their eternal rest Foul plays of passion At twilight's dim In joy of woe, of good and sin Winds of storm and fates overcast Darkly my presence Is now your past Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! So in the sad, silent watches of night The lonely pathway envisions my sight Echoes of laughter And boundless cries Son here I wander under infinite skies Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! |

Can't you seeThat in the world we live in Political liesAre just corporate decisions
They'll take awayAll the hopes, not their promises They'll put an end to thisLand of the living Look at the lost souls They seem so black Look at the lost souls Souls of black They got controlOf the heart of a nation Their social tribes Seem so graciously As time goes by'Cause time as you came see Will slowly die for you and me Look at the lost souls They seem so black Look at the lost souls Souls of black So put an end To this idolizationAntagonizing so commonly Open your eyes'Cause the lie's there so plain to see Life goes onThere's no Guarantees Look at the lost souls They seem so black Look at the lost souls Souls of blackThey're bleeding so black |

You think your life's so grand you don't believe a word you say Your feet aren't on the ground you let your life just slip away Just so uncertain of your body and your soul the promises you make, your mind goes blank and then you lose control, you lose control! I never was the one, the one to say the things you say never seem to wonder what you say You think you've got your life completely in control You've got alot to learn, the bridge you burned is gonna take its toll!! Pay the burnt bridge toll!! So practice what you preach!! Practice what you preach!! You think your life's so grand you don't believe a word you say Your feet aren't on the ground you let your life just slip away Just so uncertain of your body and your soul the promises you make, your mind goes blank and then you lose control Pay the burnt bridge toll, then you lose control, Pay the burnt bridge toll, so practice what you preach! Practice what you preach |
