In a world polluted inside
Let's pretend the nightmare is done From the earth the magma will rise From the sea comes cancerous tides The meaning of life ends in prophecy Premonitions bring tragedy Is there hope for humanity? Molten fire...Flies thru the sky Burning high...Eclipse of the sun Blackened skies Rites of the night Three days in darkness in 2012 Mother earth's been withered by time Alredy dead and we didn't even know it Watch the stars to give us a sign From above all the angels descend The meaning of life ends in agony Raped by impurities Not a chance for humanity Molten fire...Flies thru the sky Burning high...Eclipse of the sun Blackened skies Rites of the night Three days in darkness in 2012 Magma splits the earth and shift below Molten lava bursts and overflows Rise as we wait, annihilate, burning earth pulls to the sun Rise as we wait, obliterate, burning earth pulls to the sun Three days of darkness in 2012 Mega cities still blaze in the night Burning ashes they choke From the earth the magma will rise Enveloped in poisonous smoke So meaning of life ends in prophecy Premonitions of tragedy Still no hope for humanity Molten fire...Flies thru the sky Burning high...Eclipse of the sun Blackened skies Rites of the night Three days in darkness in 2012 |

A Little Too Far
Do you remember Look at me At all the things we said we'd be We'd beat the house We'd push the odds We'd take it all we had the cards With years to burn And years to trash Livin' life based on flash But somehow reaching for the stars I think we went a bit too far Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back When everything you touch turns gold Can weigh you down Can make you old When metal doesn't ring the same Reaction from inside your brain And all the years we offered up To gods who couldn't get enough Though we still stay up all night The mornings aren't quite as bright Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back And all those things we thought we learned As we watch our bridges burn While standing in the afterglow I guess we gave them quite a show And who's to say what it's about When John Wayne caught the last train out And Spock and Kirk have had enough And no one's left to beam me up Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far Got to get back Got to get back Got to get back I never meant to take it this far Yeah Oh ho I never meant to take it this far |

Life as we know,Is full of gloomOppress the massesWe'll lead to our doomWe want the rightTo live or dieCan't take awayWhat we feel insideLike empty shadows,Afflict our brainsEnvision dreamsJust to ease the painThere's more to lifeThat to satisfyI ask myselfFor the reason why.If it were my wayI'd deliver us from this hellIf it were my way.If ever there comes a dayRenovations blown awayRealize what we've thrown awayIs there no endTo this endless warThe fear of manIn now what's in store.We look at life as a memoryLong live the dreamsThat they took from me.If it were my wayI'd deliver us from this hellIf it were my way.

> When my old man he said to me you're growing fast boy there's so much to see
You take a wife, new born, a family, he said you'd see when it comes time To be a man to do what's right You'll always find a way to make your way through life When my old man he said to me treat mankind with dignity Start with no one finding someone that you need Wonder where we go, is there really an afterlife Never growing old, going home will free his spirit When my old man he said to me the world moves fast boy with no guarantees Trust in no one till you find someone you believe Then my father past away from this world to a grave Mother earth, sands of time a better place, the afterlife Wonder where we go, is there really an afterlife Never growing old, going home will free his spirit Never ending love, is there hope in the afterlife Reach into my soul, I'll see my dad in the afterlife When my old man was alive he always would teach When my old man was alive he always believed in me He helps shape his son, the man that I've become Then my old man said to me embrace the past Listen son carry on our legacy Then my father passed away from this world to a grave Mother earth, sands of time a better place, the afterlife Wonder where we go, is there really an afterlife Never growing old, going home will free his spirit Never ending love, is there hope in the afterlife Reach into my soul, I'll see my dad in the afterlife |

Trapped in a nightmare
Prisoners of warfare Days gone become years Of suffering ... Fight on but what's to gain ? Misfortune leads to pain ... Fearless they won't die Caged in they ask why Cry out but don't cry In agony ... Live on but what's to gain Die slowly everyday Misfortune leads to pain Will they ever be saved From agony, Agony, Agony In silent suffering It's never ending They pray to end their Misery ... Fight on but what's to gain Die slowly everyday Misfortune leads to pain Will they ever be saved From agony, Agony, Agony Agony Missing in action Never forgotten America the mighty Set them free ... Fight on but what's to gain Die slowly everyday Misfortune leads to pain Will they ever be saved From agony, Agony, Agony Agony |

Times were changing
Eighteen years and fading Ain't a lot of time left to be a star On an island All alone and dying Walk upon the water But you won't get far Dreams and visions Tied into decisions Saw you on a postcard From the other side Hope and glitter Never feeling bitter Walk upon the water Just to be your bride Don't tell me now That there is nothing more There is a how Just like there is a door And if there's not to be another way You tell me why Why Why Stay and follow If the words are hollow Gotta' go along Cause it's all you got Each day earn them Turn around and burn them Think your fitting in But you hope you're not Neatly drowning Every drink your downing If you drink enough You'll forget the game Each illusion Wrapped in absolution Live your life in weekends But it's not the same Don't tell me now That there is nothing more There is a how Just like there is a door And if there's not to be another way You tell me why Why Why Why |

Don't want to walk upon the water
Don't want to look across the waves Instead of seeing hills of water I just see markers on their graves But in the fading of a season To look across an empty sky For a forgotten childhood reason To once more wish that you could Close your eyes and just believe again There's a god does he remember when We were young and faith was not pretend Anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore And in the night he sees the ocean Carve its thoughts upon the shore For in the way it was created It can do this and nothing more And every message it would leave him The next wave carefully erased As the tears that passed between them Were so real that you could Close your eyes and just believe again There's a god and he remembers when We were young and faith was not pretend Anymore Anymore Anymore Anymore And all at once the waves were getting Higher And as they crashed I thought I heard them say There'd be a time when men would all be wiser When everyone, everyone, Yes everyone is Saved And as he walked away he thought about That third stowaway once more And wondered if the body had washed up Upon some far and distant shore Or if it sank down through the depths Of cold reality To rest upon the ocean floor For all eternity For at the bottom of the sea The dead do not feel pain And neath the ocean made of tears They never fear the rain But what had really happened Was a stranger twist of fate That the deckhand was to never know But to you I will relate |

Ignite the population Burn! Causing mass cremation Burn! Feel no shame or pity Burn! Apocalyptic city Years have passed as I stood still To plan the final blow I'll make the town go up in flames A hellish death they'll know As I pour on the gasoline I listen deep inside I hear the cries of all my victims Nowhere to run or hide [Chorus] Now my great assault is over And my life is done Staring at my great infernos Was my only fun So I leave you with my tale Here my conscious falls Victim of myself So now I'll end it all [Chorus] |

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 |

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 |

Listen to me children of the night
Beyond the doors of darkness you will find A thousand worlds for you to see here Take my hand and follow me, oh Beyond the doors of the dark Demon in your heart Scream and thrash your head Turn around now you're dead Under the darkened haze Lost here in glaze Are you looking to be free A never ending suicide Of nightmares you have inside Another day's begun Under the moon and sun Circle has been drawn Life has been prolonged Hell is eternity Hell is your destiny I'll tell you to die A never ending suicide Of nightmares you have inside Oh, beyond the doors of the dark yeah Beyond the doors of the dark Oh yeah It's time to meet your fate Heaven can wait All the walls are closing in Things crawl on your skin He's grabbing down at you There's nothing you can do No place to run and hide A never ending suicide Of nightmares you have inside He wants to take your soul You know you're dreaming Call your precious little life under my knife Hell is eternity Hell is your destiny I'll tell you to die Never ending suicide Of nightmares you have inside Beyond the doors of the dark Beyond the doors of the dark Oh yeah Beyond the doors of the dark Beyond the doors of the dark Oh yeah No no |

Blackjack guillotine
Razor sharp Always clean Gotta lie Very wide Once inside she knows what to do She knows what to do Skin tight China white Just another neon life In the vein Leaves a stain All the time you know that it's true You know that its true So tell me what you had in store It doesn't matter anymore It never did, it never will But I'll be out there waiting still You're moving fast but leaving tracks A compromise to your attacks There comes a time you want to take it back Back Back Back But can't think of nothing I Can't think of nothing I Can't think of nothing I Lack Junkie Credit card Gotta vein Goes for yards Hypnotised You decide Every neuron's changing its view Changing its view Gentlemen Summarize Every lie Well disguised Don't forget Neuron death In the mind awaiting its cue Awaiting its cue And so we found it very mod The worshiping of lesser gods And lie they do For lie they must For they know it's the lie we trust And so we're out there laying tracks Wherever there's a vein to pack There comes a time you want to take it back Back Back Back Back But I can't think of nothing I can't think of nothing I can't think of nothing I lack |

Can You Hear Me Now
by Savatage If I closed me eyes Would it all subside To an echo in the night Of a distant fading light Then a stranger's silhouette A burning cigarette And somewhere in the haze A passage through the maze Can you hear me now Or are there just too many doors Between then and now For me to ever reach on through Pull you back somehow That don't happen anymore Still in the night I think I hear you calling I have walked this stage As the music played They knew every word But they never heard For they never changed It's all very strange As I'm standing here Contemplating years Can you hear me now Are there just too many doors Between then and now For me to ever reach on through And pull you back somehow Well that don't happen anymore Still in the night I swear I hear you calling Can you hear me now Are there just too many doors Between then and now For me to ever reach on through And pull you back somehow But that don't happen anymore Still in the night I think I hear you calling |

Grace - in a perfect world
On shines the light Praise- an angelic song But there's another side you'll see Now Hide Salvation easily denied Reigns - down with misery Lifes not always what it seems False Hope Written in the testament of old Take Heed Stop believing every word You read Truth Inconsistencies Distorts the lie False Imprisonment Forever lost inside your mind Fates Door Just be careful what you wish for Death's Door Just be careful what you wish for Peace of mind I can't find Don't be blind Take the ride Hey... We live in a fucked up world Walking on through the demise We step into the unknown You better save yourself.... Hey... We live in a fucked up world Hiding behind the disguise Never let your feelings show Why can't you be yourself.... We live in a fucked up world Walking on through the demise We step into the unknown You better save yourself.... |

Paralyzed And never coming back Even when your eyes are open Everything turns to black Soon forgotten senses Incubates the soul Hiding from the light fantastic Waiting for the show Contemplation Reality starts to fade Creeping stare behind dead eyes As the minutes burn the day Inactive wandering Still can't get a grip Can God hear your cry Before you start to slip Chasing fear Human mind unglued Unaware That fear is chasing you Endless waiting For nothing to appear Even when your eyes are shut The visions are so clear Harmonious dissidence Obscure reckoning Did you hear that final note Of silent suffering Chasing fear Human mind unglued Disappear The sickness inside of you Chasing fear Nothing you can do Unaware That fear is chasing you Solos: Eric, James Loss of function Withering of the will Condemned to a state of nothing Moving in for the kill Brain cells slowly boil With memories intertwined Listening to that empty space Atrophy of the mind Chasing fear Human mind unglued Disappear The sickness inside of you Chasing fear Nothing you can do Unaware That fear is chasing you |

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 |

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 |

Complaint In The System (Veronica Guerin)
Written by Jon Oliva, Paul O'Neill Welcome to the system Here's the situation It's a bit confusing Welcome to the maze Everybody sees what Everybody wants to Everyone avoids Every other gaze I will be your mentor I'll be your advisor I'll do what I do And you will look away Forgetting what you see Has always been much wiser But someone in the back is missing what I say Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system Welcome to the park now We supply amusements Everybody rides But everybody pays What good's causing problems When no one's complaining What good is a martyr If no one is saved Everybody knows us Everybody sees us Every single child Can tell you where we are Every politician Says that we are leaving But in all this time We haven't gone too far Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system Got a complaint in the system You should understand it It's not underhanded It's really quite simple you see The right and the wrong of it Long and the short of it Black and the white of it Forget the sight of it It is so much cheaper To be no one's keeper Trust me In the dead of the night You can stab with a knife But it's rare you'll ever get anywhere So we laugh in delight Till you turn on a light And we scatter for the darkness Or the corners filled with blackness And we're There There There There There There Where Where Where Where Where Where There |

I haven't thought about you for awhile
It seemed so far away I keep your picture hidden in a file Of favorite one act plays Like pieces of myself Cut off in desperation As offerings to thee I keep them on a shelf They're good for conversation Over a cup of tea, yeah, cup of tea I put it all down in a letter once A letter I don't send It made me feel much better at the time I thought it'd help me mend The pieces of myself Cut off in desperation As offerings to thee, yeah I keep them on a shelf They're good for conversation Over a cup of tea, yeah, cup of tea |

Never thought you'd go away
Did not believe the things you'd say Now you're gone I don't understand why you'd leave for some distant land Could you ever feel the same I'm calling out your name I still feel the pain Crying, crying for your love I'm crying, crying for your love Still I look all over for you There's nothing left that I can do, yeah babe You're on the streets You know it's wrong It's not where a woman belongs Better run while you can I'm calling out your name I still feel the pain Crying, crying for your love I'm crying, crying for your love Why'd you lead me to the door Can I see you anymore Crying, crying for your love I'm crying, crying for your love |

Lies.... Broken dreams
Dismal past Is there more in life.. Should I.. know Ending wars.... ending pain.... Ending of mankind is insane And theres all theres possibilities Some will fail and some will achieve Even though in my youth I didn't khow but what can i do And i may not ever see In my pain my suffering Can not live for the rest of my life DNR.. Do not resuscitate me... Life.... Lost unseen Behind the mask And with open arms will I grasp Open doors... Open mind... Ending all the madness I hate And I may not ever see In may pain my suffering Can not live for the rest of my life DNR... Do not resuscitate me.. D..N..R.. Wing of sadness.... Will Hold my prayers All this madness.... Will End my fears Contempt in life Conceptualize Wrong or right The ending of life... God save me now... Time... End it now No going back Can you see the light as you pass Ending wars ending pain... Waited all my life to be save And I will not ever see All the hate and suffering Can not live for the rest of my life DNR.. Do not resuscitate me.. D..N..R.. |

In this city of raw emotion
What's this message you bring to me In my world of blind devotion You were there But I could never see Damien Is your heart harder Whats inside your head Is the dark your father Have all your years are bled In my world I have watched and wondered Safely here from behind these walls And your tears could they mean nothing If from this distance No one sees them fall Damien Is your heart harder Whats inside your head Is the dark your father Have all your years are bled Sometimes late at night When I'm there in bed I lie there wondering Where do you lay your head And do you say your prayers any more? And do you say your prayer? Damien Is your heart harder Do you still feel pain Does the night go farther When you're sleeping in the rain In the dark I have heard a calling Broken wings that beg to fly Is there time or is it too late Is the cut flower no longer alive Damien Is your heart harder Do you still feel pain Does the night go farther When you're sleeping in the rain Damien Damien Damien Damien |

Predicting war, predicting life, predicting when disaster strikes
Living life, living death, living on borrowed time End of time, end of days, end of all the things you save See the future, see the past, what does he have in store... Through the years, through the eyes and the lies The world he sees has become no surprise Through the years and the tears and the lies Condemned to hell, condemned to fate, condemned to time Sacrament, sacrilege, altar to a sacrifice Smell the blood, smell the death, smell the stench of demons' breath Filled with love, filled with hate, filled with hope that dissipates Fallen hero, fallen god, fallen victims that we've become Through the years, through the eyes and the lies The world he sees has become no surprise Through the years and the tears and the lies Condemned to hell, condemned to fate, condemned to time When you step into the circle prepare yourself as we choose your fate As you're bleeding at the altar for your sins with blood you'll pay |

I remember finding out about you
Every day my mind is all around you Looking out of my lonely room Day after day Bring it home, baby make it soon I give my love to you I remember holding you while you sleep Everyday I feel the tears that you'd weep Looking out from my lonely gloom Day after day Bring it home, baby make it soon I give my love to you Looking out of my lonely room Day after day Bring it home, baby make it soon I give my love to you I remember finding out about you Everyday my mind is all around you Looking out of my lonely room Day after day Bring it home, baby make it soon I give my love to you Day after day Day after day Day after day |

from Savatage - Dead Winter Dead (1995)
Feel the rush, feel the rush in the back of your head
"Breathe it in, breathe it in," isn't that what they said As you stood in the night 'neath the glow of the fires? Watch it burn, watch it burn, watch it reach through the night Feel the heat, feel the heat as you bask in its light As the puppets hang upon their wires [Chorus] I've lost my way, kneel down and pray It all decays, it takes me down, down, down Like the minister said, like the minister said Where this all has led, dead winter dead Can you hear what I hear in the back of your mind As you stand on the stage when they tell you it's time To read words from a past you can't remember? Gotta keep what you have, tell me what is it for If it made sense my friend well then not anymore Every dream I'm told has its December [Chorus] |

Take a look away Think about the things you say The day awaits your soul in chains Ya got to make it today Or there will be hell to pay And there is no other way Look at how you're living now Life can always bring you down The cradle to the grave All I give is all I save... Every day's the same Can you still feel the pain You lose your mind then go insane I can't talk to you You can't tell me what to do What I need is up to you Look at how you're living now Life can always bring me down The cradle to the grave All I give is all I save... And I wonder how they live Always taking what they give Never far, always near, lose your mind Gripping you with...fear... What's done is done... Hey, slave, take it to the grave Walk in someone else's shoes That's the path you paved Live, die, take off that disguise Find your own reflection now In the pool it lies Now you know the score You can't take this hell anymore You feel like you never did before Go and find the way You're closer to it everyday Yes, this is the price you pay And I wonder how they live Always taking what they give Never far, always near, lose your mind Gripping you with fear... When the fist comes down... |

And so I sit here in the dark
You made the rules I played the part I never rushed or pushed my fate When time was tight I knew to wait And circumstance So well disguised Within a gathering of lies And in the dark I lie awake So I can watch you drive your stake What's that you said to me The moment dies Degrees of sanity All alone Lost unknown And whispered in your sighs And in the dark it all unwinds I pray for change The kiss of time And in my thoughts I sit and dwell The labyrinth's there I know it well What's that you said to me The moment dies Degrees of sanity All alone Lost unknown And whispered in your sighs And all the things you never heard While in my mind I search for words But time was lost The curtain fell I take my bows and wish you well What's that you said to me The moment dies Degrees of sanity All alone Lost unknown And whispered in your sighs |

Waiting for disaster
Blackness in the night I roam the world To hear the cry Nowhere to run Nowhere to hide 2000 brings The untimely end Of all living things The Four Horsemen have started their ride Can you see them in the sky Glaring down at the ground Smile on their face As they commence The end of the human race Total devastation Prepare yourself for death This world's insane Start your fields afire Watching them burn Tomorrow will be Another world's turn To win is the end To be a part of judgment day We should have listened To what Christ had to say Total devastation Prepare yourself for death This world's insane What do you say We all have our chances of living in peace Now I'm afraid you're in too deep What can you do when you're a fool It all goes this way You should have listened To what Christ had to say Total devastation Prepare yourself to die This world's insane No no no no This world's insane Oh yeah No no no no Stop it |

Cast to the fire
Banned by the light Worship and listen to me Condemned in his mind In his evil place Your fate is all that you'll see I am the one To show you the path Salvation is in the fields Listen up children and follow me Or I'll let you pay the price Of malachi! Disciples of the watch Obey! Or I'll burn you to that cross! Holding the mass The demon is cast To resurrect your soul Calling to him Is like an evil sin A prophet is what they're told Taking the land under command Killing friend or foe Feel the might of his evil wrath Desecrate your soul! Disciples of the watch Obey! Or I'll burn you to that cross! Cast to the fire Banned by the light Worship and listen to me Condemned in his mind In his evil place Your fate is all that you'll see I am the one To show you the path Salvation is in the fields Listen up children and follow me Or I'll let you pay the price Of malachi! Disciples of the watch Obey! Or I'll burn you to that cross! |
