Across a smoke filled room, connect the spirit minds
Fatal attraction made me blind, two hearts, they pound of thunder Too late, we've reached the other side Of the bed you've made, losing all your space Mental distraction the true crime Two sides to every coin, it's not enough to pay this time Do you remember, the day before the dream Now I live this nightmare, ending with a plea I never thought that you'd be one of them Atop the list of things that used to be my hope I see you slowly falling out of my mind, outer side As you fade into the X Locked boxes hold the truth, of distant memories Purest evil of the grind Heart of burning hunger, drove me out of my mind over matter Cut of chilling steel Do you remember, the day before the dream Now I live this nightmare, ending with a plea I never thought that you'd be one of them Atop the list of things that used to be my hope I see you slowly falling out of my mind, outer side 'Cause you fade into the X I never thought that you'd be one of them Atop the list of things that used to be my hope I see you slowly falling out of my mind, outer side As you fade into the X As you fade into the X As you fade into the X Fade into the X |

Commissar
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 ... |

(Criss's Song) You were never one for waiting Still I always thought You'd wait for me Have you from you dream 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 rain swept 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 his end into your life You believed in things That I will never know You were out there drowning But it never showed Till inside a rain swept 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 the clue Perhaps inside this midnight sky Perhaps tomorrow's new born eyes I 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 the 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 the clue |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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!! |

He never closed his eyes
Or so we theorized But we were young and bold And he was mostly old And his time nearly done He came back from a war On some forgotten shore And sat and watched The world And never said a word And so I asked for one Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun He fought for things so clear And never thought he'd fear A brother or his child Or killing having style Watch the colors run Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become, oh yeah Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun And now he only hears And his eyes they only tear So tread most carefully For he's still listening Watch the colors run Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become, oh yeah yeah Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun |

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 |

So would you tell me now
Are life and death a symmetry Balanced on scales, either side chosen And could these moments balance out against eternity Promise inferred, words never spoken My life is burning Could you read by the light Letters I've written, never to follow Poets and madmen all defy reason Still in my mind I know I want to live my life with you Dying hard Play the whole hand 'til it's through Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard And in your arctic night You contemplate eternity Walking on water Frozen in silence And in that moment would you Turn around and turn to me Laughing away night's darker tyrants My life is burning Could you read by the light Letters I've written, never to follow Poets and madmen all defy reason Still in my mind I know I want to live my life with you Dying hard Play the whole hand 'til it's through Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard Some nights I spend alone inside my head But it's better than losing it And if you want to turn it all around It's your life you're choosing it I want to live my life with you Dying hard Play the whole hand 'til it's through Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

A call from the night
metal storming masses In the lies Battle cry Screaming to the night Oh no Summon up the legions To do our deeds Our legion's needs Are growing every day We're coming out tonight We come from the darker light Join your hands and pray Maybe you can all be saved Legions of the night Legions of the night Good god Legions of the night Can they hear your battle cry Cry out But what does it matter? There's no way to escape The hold we have on you Ohh ho Controlled by the master Infiltrate Penetrate Your little precious minds We're coming out tonight We come from the darker light Join your hands and pray Maybe you can all be saved Legions of the night Legions of the night Good god Legions of the night Can they hear your battle cry Scream loud Let the masses hear you Banging hard across the ground Shatter the darkest lights Oh no Heed the master's calling Congregate Celebrate The power you've obtained Good god Legions of the night Legions of the night Good god Can I hear your battle cry, yeah |

Cheshire cat
Done rip you soul Don't turn your back Don't turn your back Car rolls by Move real slow Fade it to black Fade it to black But nothing's going on Nothing's going on Twisted nerves On shifting feet Taking up slack Taking up slack Gone too far Can't retreat Cover your tracks Cover your tracks Nothing's going on She's no queen of hearts But she's good to me Bring her coffin roses Brush her thorns and Let it bleed Just a hardcore dancer Puppet on a string One crippled romancer Strung so tight Gotta watch her swing Nothing's going on |

You got Lybia you got the Russians
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] |

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!! |

He never closed his eyes
Or so we theorized But we were young and bold And he was mostly old And his time nearly done He came back from a war On some forgotten shore And sat and watched The world And never said a word And so I asked for one Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun He fought for things so clear And never thought he'd fear A brother or his child Or killing having style Watch the colors run Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become, oh yeah Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun And now he only hears And his eyes they only tear So tread most carefully For he's still listening Watch the colors run Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become, oh yeah yeah Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun |
