Blood by Queensryche
Thank-you for the lies, the lies you sold us. Thank-you for this vision of violence. Thank-you for this song you gave me to sing. Thank-you for the capping day of a culture that lay dying. Yes it's us dying. Maybe it won't be long, now that it's all gone on...... It's all gone wrong and there's blood on our hands. It's all gone wrong and there's blood ... It's all gone wrong and there's blood on our hands. It's all gone wrong and there's blood ...on our hands. We saw them lying there with their arms around each other, staring through their fear and the miles between our heads. You could have told the truth. It was your decision to sacrifice integrity and compassion for greed. Now it's all gone wrong and there's blood on our hands it's all gone wrong and there's blood ... It's all gone wrong and there's blood on our hands. It's blood...blood on our hands....... |

Desert Dance - Queensryche
Lying here awake again. Minutes before dawn I hear your breathing, your heart beat like a song. Lately I’ve been feeling a little less then good but seeing things for the first time like I never could. I’ve had my head down against the door, trying to get to something I couldn’t find before. That special something, that feeds my soul, is a rhythm to live by, it’s a rhythm of hope. Something drives us onwards. Something gives us strength. What makes our judgment falter is the questions we think. Who am I to fly so high? What gives me the right to dream of what could be, keep reaching for the light? I’ve been standing in front of that door, basing my happiness on what’ I knew before. Searching for something that moves my soul. A rhythm to hold to, a rhythm to live to. Have you been down like this before? I guarantee there’s something waiting for you just open that door. A rhythm to live by, that moves your soul. A rhythm that holds you. A rhythm to live to. And if there’s one thing we all need now, it’s a rhythm to live by, a rhythm of hope. Lying here awake again. |

Doing Fine - Queensryche
Have you noticed The way people seem today? Look in their eyes, you can feel their uncertainty. Working hard for what they fear others would think. Empty hearts are afraid to break away…don’t be afraid. We could all use a little sunshine Take the day off …outside. Hey look around, everything’s better now And here we are and we’re doin’ fine. If we look inside, breath deep, and count to ten. We’ll find what we need to see us through All the way to the end. We’ll know all the answers Once we stop this judgment game And realize deep down we’re all the same. We could all use a little sunshine Take the day off and smile. Hey look around everything’s better now, And here we are and getting along fine. Yeah, we’re doin’ just fine. We could all use some sunshine Take the day off and smile. Hey look around, everything’s better And here we are getting along just fine. Next time we could try a little harder And quickly put out the fire, By working out our differences and Finding truth we can all believe in. We’re looking at life from a different side. We’re looking at like from a different side. And I know that we’ll all be fine. And I know that we’ll all be fine. |

Tribe by Queensryche
Taken to a place underground, a cavern, ten thousand steps down. The only light was fire fly glow, reflecting in the blue crystal show. Feeling in the darkness surrounding me, roots of giant Sequoia trees anchor the canopy of life that's above. The answer to the mystery of life is _ Traveled through the jungles of the Yucatan and drank the potion from the magic man. Held the starlight inches from my face, pushed the door open, # 7. I walked the path way to heaven. Saw the same face of God. Seems every where I go I see the same face, I feel the same flow. With every one I meet and every hand I shake, I'm every man, trying my best to get to know because everything's at stake. We're the same tribe............... Passing through Morocco for the faithful is a trip. Hallucinating visions drives my desert ship. For a thousand miles we could not fail, can't enjoy if you can't inhale. Clearly a lifetimes need of some experience and for the record, peace. Seems every where I go I see the same face, I feel the same flow. With every one I meet and every hand I shake, I see myself in every man, trying my best to get to know because everything's at stake. We're the same tribe............. |

You called me up on the phone today
Struggling with the right words to say. Time can change a thing or two. Time has changed the lives of me and you, But you know... it could have been different dad. The word brings back a sweet memory. I'm sitting on a bluff on a broken tree, By my side a distinguished man Giving me encouragement, telling me i can, And you know... you're not there. You say, "son, let's forget the past, I want another chance, gonna make it last." You're begging me for a brand new start, Trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart, But you know... you never built it dad. So i sit here through the night, And i write myself to sleep, And time keeps ticking... Time has made you finally realize Your loneliness and your guilt inside. You're reaching for something you never had, Turning around now you're looking back, And you know... i'm not there. You say, "son, let's forget the past. I want another chance, gonna make it last." You're begging me for a brand new start, Trying to mend a bridge that's been blown apart, But you know... you never built it dad. |

Waiting for the feeling to subside,
Paranoid, i melt into myself. They say i'm to reach inside and find The broken part of my machinery. Psychoanalyze the chapters On the path to my darkest day. Searching for the answers, All i see is damage through the haze. Picking up the pieces of my life With no direction for re-assembly. The one that lays beside me Is sharing scars of my broken yesterdays. Will tomorrow find me hypnotized? crying? Mother mary in control, Domineering stranglehold Sowing destructive seeds For the scavengers to feed. Driving the nail into my head, Memory flows like a river. With the one that lays beside me I'm healing scars from my childhood memories. Tomorrow finally found me. I'm hypnotized. i'm trying... To understand the chapters Of the path from my darkest day. Searching for the answers But there's damage! |

Beating with life you promised life,
Security, happiness. Unfortunate son cornered, Cowering in the pit of Circling panes of glass that Surround and reveal the ever present "it". "it" is my move, my every look, Interpreting gestures, Informing other What's undercover and Lurking beneath my mask Of this year's featured model. Is this too much? Close your eyes. Care to look inside? i am i! What may appear Might easily be explained, But given the situation Of info saturation, What you feel can never go away. Steering perception? i am! Inviting contradiction? i am! It's my insistence You keep your distance From the glare behind my stare. So this is the way The game is played. You can leave now... But i think you'll stay. i am i! |

Sitting all alone, inside, today jane.
The other girls are home, we're playing a new game. The voice is very, very close, you like it that way, And we're feeling rather warm inside. Are you smiling or afraid? You can have it either way. Lady jane your eyes are wide today, And the world is looking very strange, you must proclaim! It's quite a scary, scary ride we take, lady jane. Yesterday seemed very dark, but now it's bright, Your clouds have gone away. Sensory perception peaking at this time, Electric waves of sound are filling janie's mind today Calling out to janie as you drift away, "don't be afraid, They're only your illusion anyway." Lady jane your eyes are wide today. And we're sure you won't forget the things You've seen today! |

There's hunger in africa,
And anger on assembly lines. At the touch of a button I'm miles away. I want no connection, just information, And i'm gone. I feel so helpless, So i turn my gaze to another place. My global mind reaches out for the truth. Why try holding back the wave? You'll only drown in the changes. You've got to learn to let go. Just let go and experience the flight. Try to see from a different side.. If balance is the key Maybe we'll see A future understanding, Then we won't feel so helpless, An turn away and hide from the change. My global mind searches for something new. My global mind zeros in on news. Time and rules are changing. Attention span is quickening. Welcome to the information age. I feel so helpless, So i turn my gaze to another place. My global mind searches for something new. My global mind zeros in on news. My global mind reaches out for the truth. My global mind zeros in on you. It's searching everywhere, Across the mountains, Across the oceans, Across every man made line. No boundary gonna keep it from you. |

Behind my eyes
I keep my truth from you No one enters this secret place the barrier only I embrace Time is fleeing now they say Take time to look inside and face... the change Dig down deep to find the man I thought I was A dog on a treadmill panting the master pulls the leash, laughing Now I can't remember why I needed to run, needed to try so hard One more time around is all I ask for now a star to seek by, wind to take me home again Work hard in life boy there's paradise in the end Year after year we struggle to gain the happiness our parents never claimed They told us all we had to do was do what we're told, buy what was sold Invest in gold, and never get old One more time around is all I ask for now a star to steer by, wind to take me home again |

Little girl sits in the corner,
locked in a stare. Arms waving madly at something that sadly isn't there. Dressed in the day's best by a nurse who's nowhere to be found. What does she see? Maybe she's looking at me... Old man is strapped to the seat of his chair, wearing a gown. Shouting and cursing at someone who clearly isn't around. Father time has twisted his mind. The staff says, "he's not well!" To whom does he speak? Maybe he's speaking to me... So we keep these people inside these walls, from society. Their forgotten lives safe from the crowd, they can't leave. You've left them there with me. So we keep these people behind these walls, from society. Their forgotten lives safe from the crowd, they can't leave. Through the doors come people like me, good-bye to them. They see a picture few of us see. They can't leave. You've left them there with me. |

Watching the sand fall,
listening for the knock Upon my door, And waiting... for promised land. Standing neck deep in life, My ring of brass lay rusting on the floor. Is this all? Because it's not what i expected. Somewhere along the way Friends i once held close fled the fast lane. I didn't notice, i just had to make it. Head down, nose in the grindstone; The kiss of life placed on my brow Kept sliddin' to the ground And now it's buried six feet under. Preaching from the floor again The same old sad song, "bartender... bring another drink for their favorite son." Where did it all go wrong? What's the use in even holding on? Here's to love, hate... and promises. Almost called it today. Turned to face "the void" Numb with the suffering And the question, "why am i...?" So many times i've tried and failed to Gather my courage, reach again for that nail. Life's been like Dragging feet through sand, And never finding... promised land. Preaching from the floor again The same old sad song, "bartender... bring another drink for their favorite song." Where did it all go wrong? I feel like i'm dying. Here's to love, to hate, To promises and promised land lies. |

Strange, the view from here
Words we spoke, forgotten at the time Now replay in my mind What went wrong, what was right Looking back, I never was there for you You didn't say, but I know it's true I can't find the real world alone Every time I think I've won I hear your voice inside, questioning Where have you gone Can't you remember feeling so alone You always had the anwer that I could not see I can't find the real world I can't find the real world I can't find the real world alone I can't find the real world I can't find the real world I can't find the real world alone |

When i fell from grace
I never realized How deep the flood was around me. A man whose life was toil Was like a kettle left to boil, And the water left scars on me. I know now who i am. If only for a while, I recognize the changes. I feel like i did before the Magic wore thin and the "baptism Of stains" began. They used to say i was Nowhere, man, Heading down Was my destiny. But yesterday, i swear, That was someone else not me. Here i stand at the crossroads edge, Afraid to reach out for eternity, One step, when i look down, I see someone else not me. Looking back and i see Someone else. All my life they said i Was going down, But i'm still standing, Stronger, proud. And today i know there's So much more i can be. From where i stand at the crossroads edge, There's a path leading out to sea. And from somewhere Deep in my mind, Sirens sing out loud Songs of doubt As only they know how. But one glance back reminds, and i see, Someone else not me. I keep looking back At someone else... me? |

It was November 4th
I last held your hand It seemed our time would last forever You said don't ever leave I thought you'd never go I wish I could just remember your name... You're just a memory now Like all the ones before But with your pain I've had to suffer Your eyes alight with flame As the picture burns I hear the screams from long ago They cry remember, blood-red streaks on velvet throats at night The streetlights fanned our trail of fame London London through The memories will never leave me London London All I see is you London London The cries in the night Keep bringing me to London London Calling out to me - 간 주 중 - Oh there's some things in life I could never face The worst is being alone Sometimes I wish I could have taken your place my love You know I don't want to live forever Oh let me see you standing in the shadows once again We'll walk the streets like long ago in London London The fire in your eyes will be bringing me to London London All I need is you The cries in the night keep ringing on in London London London London Calling out to me London London The memories will never leave me London London All I see is you London London The cries in the night Keep bringing me to London London Calling out to you |

Reach for a new horizon
Setting sights on a circuit scream Hail the new arrival on Static signs from a distant wanderer Fill the air nights are never seen Face the electric time shock now No it's not a dream anymore I will light the way for us to find Order of a new kind Join us on the stay the road is mine Poets line in a rhyme of silence Gathered from the winter air Warms the children's eyes they see The time is near for the signs I can hear the chimes Ringing for you for me I can see your eyes Your hands joining with me I can feel its time Come together hold the light Keep the flame we can't let this world remain the same I can hear the chimes Ringing for you for me I can see your eyes Your hands joining with me I can feel it's time It's time for the world to hear Neue Regel is here |

It's lonely in the field
that we send our fighters to wander They leave with minds of steel It's their training solution We've programmed the way It leads us to order There's no turning back A Surgical Strike We've taught them not to feel performance is their task A Surgical Strike Its time is arriving now for you The plan for the day will be swift as the lightning they harness The atom display is not mindless illusion At master control, assessment will not Be by humans-There's no turning back A Surgical Strike We've taught them not to feel performance is their task A Surgical Strike Its time is arriving now for you |

Wait for me I'll understand I just need time to comprehend your changes There's always been these changes in you I remember that there was a time when Fears we had we left behind and we danced But it seems the more we learn We learn that it's Over, Over It's dangerous this game we play You're killing me with words Forget if you can The way you moved when our hands touched You forced me to force you Do you remember the dreams, the nightmares we shared? The poison of love so pure it's deceiving And deceit is all we have it's got to be over Over, Over It's dangerous this game we play You're killing me with words Over, Over Too late to take a chance again it's over |

Cries from the aisles
the tolling of the judgement bell Eyes watched the violence the absence of those who have seen, marks the faith of the spell Cold is the viper stalking the night for the heat It must find Time is the promise delivered with stunning consistency line after line, time after time the innocent victim awaits Voices are calling me back Back to the day Footsteps had followed Me faster listen - 간 주 중 - Screams from a new love the passion was burning, it singed in a stare Free under the night sun The fear of the hunger Will always be there in my mind Time after time the morning Will close a new page Voices are calling me back Back to the day Footsteps had followed Me faster - 간 주 중 - Voices are calling me back Back to the day Footsteps had followed Me faster listen Follow the impulse you have I'll show you the way Forget what you've learned in the past now Listen |

Riding the night like the wind Ripping the heart form a world that is right Treading the borders of sin. Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher Slashing destruction, your right hand sword ringing To the ends of the earth you will fly Conquering masses in wanton deception Blood-red your black flag waves high Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher higher higher higher Look around, is this the end that you have foreseen The pain, the misery in us all What was it that you knew? Will we one day learn it too And together build another way, to the morning Or will it ever come again You've poisoned all our hopes We have nothing now, and what of the children What has this done to them? Damn you for the pain That they must feel The last hero standing no time to turn back He's listening, he waits for your call The black barren plains reflect the hope of the same For one only waiting to fall Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher higher higher higher |

Don't you turn back, keep heed in your flame Kings with no mercy, this planet at war Torn from enchantment, this land forevermore Born from obsession, you cried death for light You saw things before and after you died Back from beyond to rule again But this life denies you its fight to the end Back from the dawn Deliver us right from wrong Kings forge the way For your last day You search the eyes of those Who fear the law Dark and light we all must keep the balance strong One day a king will rise with the sun The moon, and the stars And you are he and you must die, to be Born again, come again, once more be again the king Back from the dawn Deliver us right from wrong Kings forge the way For your last day Back from the dawn Deliver us right from wrong Kings forge the way For your last day |

Into the depths of unknown The blackness surrounding the border of hope We're alone We plead for the signs of a second chance In hopes it will stifle the fear The dying remains of a world gone insane We are near the end A course that will lead us through darkness Prepared by our leaders insist We mustn't all pray to the shadow of The iron fist We enter the void with our eyes straight ahead The force all around us we feel The twisted contusions of hatred will finally reveal Enforcer Master of nations revealed Enforcer The beams from his soul you will feel Slicing and tearing our way to the gate A towering fortress of blackened steel Desolate plains holding dying remains Heed the call of the master we'll soar to The edges of time Light tracers follow me farther Into the depths of unknown The blackness surrounding the borders of hope We're alone We plead for the signs, give us a second chance In hopes it will stifle the fear The battered remains of world gone insane We are near Enforcer Master of nations revealed Enforcer The beams from his soul you will feel Enforcer Master of nations revealed Enforcer The beams from his soul you will feel Once long ago we had to hide In the shadows of the land To keep us away from the crawl Enforcer's taking hold of us |

There's a certain feeling Known to all who hear the sound The call of morning rising You're in a mystic space Can't you feel the force embrace, the chill of the wind As it names you Oh, can't you see the lies in front of you Your journey ends so far, and still the distance Spins round and round you Now you cry - give me sanctuary You scream but no one listens Again you cry - give me sanctuary Until the end I'll fight and die, to be free Oh! No sanctuary You're walking halfway in But crawling halfway out There's a void in your mind that you cling to You feel lost in time, you've got no words to rhyme No more charms, no more spells to protect you Oh can't you see the lies in front of you Your journey ends so far, and still the distance Spins round and round you Now you cry - give me sanctuary You scream, but no one listens Again you cry - give me sanctuary Until the end I'll fight and die Oh I've got to be free |

I'm sailing past the point of no return Blinding eyes From which it hides the key Seek to rise Begotten are the fools who'll never know Force will hide The presence that we see There's no time to run away The prophecy will make it's stay Course of rage A never ending fight for the unknown To justify The formulated scheme So we find A gleaming light to lead us far beyond The closing gates Of our society There's no time to run away The prophecy will make it's stay Wings of fire I'm sailing past the point of no return Blinding eyes From which it hides the key Seek to rise Begotten are the fools who'll never know Force will hide The presence that we see There's no time to run away The prophecy will make it's stay There's no time to run away The prophecy will make it's stay There's no time to run away The prophecy will make it's stay |

We see the light of those who find A world has passed them by To late to save a dream that's growing cold We realize that fate must hide its face From those who try To see the distant signs of unforetold Oh... oh, take hold From a haze came a rage of thunder Distant signs of darkness on the way Fading cries scream of pain and hunger But in the night the light will guide your way So take hold of the flame Don't you see life's a game So take hold of the flame You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain Ride, to a place beyond our time Reach, for the edges of your mind, and you are there See, that the light will find its way Back to a place where it will stay, make it stay Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you With the air of freedom the flame grows bright We are the strong, the youth united We are one, we are children of the light So take hold of the flame Don't you see life's a game So take hold of the flame You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain |

We see the light of those who find A world has passed them by To late to save a dream that's growing cold We realize that fate must hide its face From those who try To see the distant signs of unforetold Oh... oh, take hold From a haze came a rage of thunder Distant signs of darkness on the way Fading cries scream of pain and hunger But in the night the light will guide your way So take hold of the flame Don't you see life's a game So take hold of the flame You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain Ride, to a place beyond our time Reach, for the edges of your mind, and you are there See, that the light will find its way Back to a place where it will stay, make it stay Throw down the chains of oppression that bind you With the air of freedom the flame grows bright We are the strong, the youth united We are one, we are children of the light So take hold of the flame Don't you see life's a game So take hold of the flame You've got nothing to lose, but everything to gain |

On a lonely walk this morning A light mist in the air Dark clouds laughing at me in silence Casting shadows through my hair In the distance I saw a woman Dressed in black with eyes of grey She wore her pain like a shackled spirit Eternal life was her debt to pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The wind song whispered a warning Telling me to beware Of the quiet shadowed woman And of the sadness I would share We sat for sometime together in silence Never speaking in words Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes And I listened remembering all I heard The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The words she spoke were of forgotten lives And of all knowledge gained Mem'ries I had and didn't know why With a smile she explained I should have listened to the wind's cold warning And walked the other way I touched her soul and now I bear her sentence But for her love I'll gladly pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free |

I remember I was asking why
And someday you said I'd know All these years, of fighting hard And now it's finally come too close I can't believe it's now happening to me Oh, couldn't it wait a few hundred years Destiny can't rest you see, now it's time Time to cry your tears! Now cry! The child of centuries, forgotten in time You talk in circles of rhyme Seer of places future and past The warning you gave us is surely our last Warning! Warning! Warning! Behold the child, his pointing hand Is raised in solemn grace His eyes once wide with learning wonder Now leave stains upon his face Now see the hands of the working man He's leaning back against the wall Once busy hands are idle now Standing ready for the fall! Our fall! The signs will come as days past by For those that claim to see The blind will stay not choosing to die Not believing the visions I've seen Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning! Warning!

From the night comes a roar of thunder
Beholding light on the spell you're under And the signs of death descend you way Fighting back from the devil's hunger Freeing back from their chosen number And the sword of the right will guide your way And thus you'll find that only demons fill your mind until you wake But only time will tell the answer you've been blinded from today Burning dreams cause your mind to wonder Iron crosses are the calling numbers And the fight for the answer still reamins old But the night will reflect the hunger And the blackness will pull you under Still the sword of the right will guide your way And in the night you'l hear the voices calling down and they will say But only time will tell the answer you've been blinded from today |

Born into darkness in Saturn's sight
Riding the night like the wind Ripping the heart form a world that is right Treading the borders of sin. Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher Slashing destruction, your right hand sword ringing To the ends of the earth you will fly Conquering masses in wanton deception Blood-red your black flag waves high Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher higher higher higher Look around, is this the end that you have foreseen The pain, the misery in us all What was it that you knew? Will we one day learn it too And together build another way, to the morning Or will it ever come again You've poisoned all our hopes We have nothing now, and what of the children What has this done to them? Damn you for the pain That they must feel The last hero standing no time to turn back He's listening, he waits for your call The black barren plains reflect the hope of the same For one only waiting to fall Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher higher higher higher |

Ride swift across the plain
Don't you turn back, keep heed in your flame Kings with no mercy, this planet at war Torn from enchantment, this land forevermore Born from obsession, you cried death for light You saw things before and after you died Back from beyond to rule again But this life denies you its fight to the end Back from the dawn Deliver us right from wrong Kings forge the way For your last day You search the eyes of those Who fear the law Dark and light we all must keep the balance strong One day a king will rise with the sun The moon, and the stars And you are he and you must die, to be Born again, come again, once more be again the king Back from the dawn Deliver us right from wrong Kings forge the way For your last day Back from the dawn Deliver us right from wrong Kings forge the way For your last day |

Light tracers follow me farther
Into the depths of unknown The blackness surrounding the border of hope We're alone We plead for the signs of a second chance In hopes it will stifle the fear The dying remains of a world gone insane We are near the end A course that will lead us through darkness Prepared by our leaders insist We mustn't all pray to the shadow of The iron fist We enter the void with our eyes straight ahead The force all around us we feel The twisted contusions of hatred will finally reveal Enforcer Master of nations revealed Enforcer The beams from his soul you will feel Slicing and tearing our way to the gate A towering fortress of blackened steel Desolate plains holding dying remains Heed the call of the master we'll soar to The edges of time Light tracers follow me farther Into the depths of unknown The blackness surrounding the borders of hope We're alone We plead for the signs, give us a second chance In hopes it will stifle the fear The battered remains of world gone insane We are near Enforcer Master of nations revealed Enforcer The beams from his soul you will feel Enforcer Master of nations revealed Enforcer The beams from his soul you will feel Once long ago we had to hide In the shadows of the land To keep us away from the crawl Enforcer's taking hold of us |

Under surveillance from the camera eye Searching high and low The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime Handcuffed and blind, i didn't do it She said she loved me I guess i never knew But do we ever, ever really know? She said she'd meet me on the other side But i knew right then, i'd never find her I don't believe in love I never have, i never will I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel No more nightmares, i've seen them all From the day i was born, they've haunted my every move Every open hand's there to push and shove No time for love it doesn't matter She made a difference I guess she had a way Of making every night seem bright as day Now i walk in shadows, never see the light She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye I don't believe in love I never have, i never will I don't believe in love I'll just pretend she never was real I don't believe in lovev i need to forget her face, i see it still I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel No chance for contact There's no raison d'etre My only hope is one day i'll forget The pain of knowing what can never be With or without love it's all the same to me I don't believe in love I never have, i never will I don't believe in love I'll just pretend she never was real I don't believe in love I need to forget her face, i see it still I don't believe in love It's never worth the pain that you feel |

Born into darkness in Saturn's sight Riding the night like the wind Ripping the heart form a world that is right Treading the borders of sin. Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher Slashing destruction, your right hand sword ringing To the ends of the earth you will fly Conquering masses in wanton deception Blood-red your black flag waves high Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher Look around, is this the end that you have foreseen The pain, the misery in us all What was it that you knew? Will we one day learn it too And together build another way, to the morning Or will it ever come again You've poisoned all our hopes We have nothing now, and what of the children What has this done to them? Damn you for the pain That they must feel The last hero standing no time to turn back He's listening, he waits for your call The black barren plains reflect the hope of the same For one only waiting to fall Child of fire The souls that are damned By the pain that you bring Send you higher Music by: Michael Wilton Lyrics by: Geoff Tate |

There's one more candle left to light Don't turn your back on my disgrace The blood of christ can't heal my wounds...so deep The sins of man are all i taste Can't spit the memory from my mind I can't cry anymore Mary, my lady of pain, always alone Blind you search for the truth I see myself in you, parallel lives Winding at light-speed through time, you're mine |

On a lonely walk this morning A light mist in the air Dark clouds laughing at me in silence Casting shadows through my hair In the distance I saw a woman Dressed in black with eyes of grey She wore her pain like a shackled spirit Eternal life was her debt to pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The wind song whispered a warning Telling me to beware Of the quiet shadowed woman And of the sadness I would share We sat for sometime together in silence Never speaking in words Of all her thoughts she spoke with her eyes And I listened remembering all I heard The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free The words she spoke were of forgotten lives And of all knowledge gained Mem'ries I had and didn't know why With a smile she explained I should have listened to the wind's cold warning And walked the other way I touched her soul and now I bear her sentence But for her love I'll gladly pay The lady wore black It's the sign of the prisoners lives The lady wore black See the years through the tears in her eyes The lady wore black Her mystic power calls to me The lady wore black Her love can set me free |

Bless me father for I have sinned
In the wooden chair beside my window I wear a face born in the falling rain I talk to shadows from a lonely candle Recite the phrases from the wall I can't explain this holy pain Six days ago my life had taken a tumble The orders came from high above they say A need to use me once again, they've got my number Further the cause, boy, yes, you know the game I'll wait here for days longer 'Til the sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady that can ease my sorrow She brings the only friend that helps me find my way I search the past back to a time when I was younger A target for the new society Picked to displace the leaders Countering objectives of this new underground reality Waiting for days longer 'Til sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady that can ease my sorrow My love for her will help me find my way (They'll say) My mission saved the world I stood proud My mission changed the world It turned my life around I look around, my room is filled with candles Each one a story but they end the same I'll hide away in here the law will never find me The walls will tell the story of my pain Waiting for days longer 'Til sister comes to wash my sins away She is the lady who can ease my sorrow She sets the pace for my delivery of pain (They'll say) My mission saved the world And I stood proud My mission changed the world The underground (They'll say) Will rise and save this world We'll all stand proud Our mission changed the world, we'll change the world We'll all stand proud |

I've had enough and I want out!
"You can't walk away now." I looked back once And all I saw was his face Smiling, the needle crying Walking out of his room With mirrors, afraid I heard him scream You'll never get away Cold and shaking I crawled down alleys to try And scrape away the tracks that marked me Slammed my face into walls of concrete I stared, amazed at the words written on the wall Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name Wet and raving The needle keeps calling me back To bloody my hands forever Carved my cure with the blade That left me in scars Now every time I'm weak Words scream from my arm Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle, it lies Don't ever trust Don't ever trust the needle when it cries Cries your name |
