All alone now
Except for the memories Of what we had and what we knew Everytime I try to leave it behind me I see something that reminds me of you Every night the dreams return to haunt me Your rosary wrapped around your throat I lie awake and sweat afraid to fall asleep I see your face looking back at me looking back at me And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what lies behind the stare Is this all that's left Of my life before me Straight jacket memories sedative highs No happy ending like they've always promised There's got to be something left for me And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what lies behind the stare Lies behind my stare How many times must I live this tragedy How many more lies will they tell me All I want is the same as everyone Why am I here and for how long And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what lies behind the stare |

I awoke on impact
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 |

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 |

Washing me, rain wash over me. Touching your face, I feel the heat of your heartbeat echo in my head like a scream. What you do to me! Waited so long I can't wait another day without you. Jet City Woman. It's a long way, home to my Jet City Woman. I see her face everywhere, can't get her out of my mind. Whenever I'm alone I'm thinking, there's a part missing from my life. Wonder where I'd be without your love holding me together now I'm watching the time tick, tick away. Face grows longer every day. Fortunes are lost on the women I've seen but without you I can't breathe! You're the air to me! Waited so long, I'm all alone thinking about you. Jet City Woman. Got to find my way home to her. Jet City Woman. I see her face everywhere I look! Jet City Woman. Just a thousand miles and I'll be there Jet City Woman, to make the clouds go away. Time for some blue sky! Waited so long now the plane's delayed and hour, reminds me of all our days apart. Hold on, just a little longer. Jet City Woman. Wonder where I'd be, you're the air to me. Jet City Woman. Eyes like the rain, rain down on me. Jet City Woman. No more nights alone I'm almost home now. Jet City Woman. Close my eyes, I'm there in my Jet City. |

Queensryche "Last Time In Paris" from the Ford fairlane soundtrack (Lyrics
from Queensryche fan club) Last time in Paris was a little strange, Had time to myself, Headed out to see the city sights. Met a little thing on the Champs-Elysees, Stole my heart away, You know I never could pronounce her name. She didn't mind at all. We were sitting there, Seemed like hours Pass the day away, Till they said we had to pay, Or do the dishes or something, I don't know. Living at the plaza Athenee, Got to rest for the show. Man at the front desk knew my face. Said he had a room with a view for two. But he forgot to say, Renovation next door starts today. Can't fing another room. All day long they banged, 14 hours. Show time on my mind, And wringing somebody's throat, Last time in Paris Last time in Paris Last time in Paris was strange Last time in Paris Last time in Paris Last time in Paris was strange Overslept, missed the bus to the show Had to find my own ride. Took the metro out to Avingnon. Man at the backstage, didn't know my name. Said hey, I'm with the band! You and everyone today. What is this guy new? 15 minutes fly, Someone sees me. Inside let me go Hey Geoff, we need photos Before the show! Last time in Paris Last time in Paris Last time in Paris was strange Last time in Paris Last time in Paris Last time in Paris was strange |

Tell her to weave it in a sycamore wood lane Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, And gather it all with a basket of flowers Then she'll be a true love of mine. Ask her to buy me an acre of land Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme, Between some water and the stand Then she'll be a true love of mine. Are you going to Scarborough Fair?

Raise my eyes, she stands Holding out healing hands Are you happy now? I walk the thin line for you Do just what you say to With fear as my friend I walk the thin line one more time for you Addictive face pretending, don't speak the word Forbidden sin relenting, I barely heard Screams of entry blur my vision Wake my fear of divine intervention Crawl away and bleed forever, if you dare Hand on mouth the game goes on Love, our stage to play upon Are you happy now?

Existence formed by substance unknown Prelude to matter shift or dissorder Completion of bonds between chaos and order The era of seasons, the essence of being The continous process awakens the living Absorber of every flickering sun Arranging the pieces to vivid perfection The stream of mortality flows uncontrolled A boundless downward spiral to prospective void Existence takes its toll, extinction unfolds The Colossus falls back from its threshold The Cosmic grip so tight. Heed the celestial call The rise, the voyage, the fall - tangled womb of mortal soil Universal key of inception, pulled out of the grind The growing seed of creation and time Complex fusion, the bond of four - the nature's core Universal ritual, aesthetic beauty adored The pendulum upholds the carnal deceit Eternal, endless, indefinite The paradox render and the merge is complete Nothing but the process is infinite Nothing but the process is infinite Eternal, endless, indefinite |

An intelligental substance permanent I sensed the elemental tenderness In the mind, in Nature's argument To breed, to grow, to peak, to be reborn Like a sine curve in an endless loop The day's crescendo dusk adorn A process ending in the crescent's droop An example of what the substantial quartet can procreate Synchronized they operate Water feed earth's production While fire is fed by air's viability Which compose water's construction The flux that strengthen earth's ability Nature's own artful methodology Where downfall becomes the interlude Laws, which bases our current cosmology Completing the constant vicissitude From storm-beaten mountains to calm-running rivers As old as the planets rotation A work of an unknown intellact delivers The symbiosis, the perfect combination Water feed earth's production While fire is fed by air's viability Which compose water's construction The flux that strengthen earth's ability Still though. provoken by a fifth force A dark companion, Vacuum, Devastation But somehow the harmony stays on course With the quartet's unity as profane creator The result, arrangements filtered through our eyes Several polarities evolveed into a symmetrical guise To breed, to grow, to peak, to be reborn Like a sine curve in an endless loop The day's crescendo dusk adorn A process ending in the crescent's droop |

From every human complexity
And nature's twisted analogy An urge to explain - to understand Springs out with the nation to expand The narrow view of what we are Could a mathematical formula Improve our existential stamina Would explaining our kin universally Keep up our vital vivacity Or would it onshroud us in disillusion The notion of our emancipation Lies far from any genuine liberation Seeking a detailed explanation We think therefore we're cursed As questions multiply with every solution The "why" stands untouchable - no intrusion A constant flow of total inconstancy A natural starfelt divinity Could a mathematical formula Improve our existential stamina Would explaining our kin universally Keep up our vital vivacity Or would it onshroud us in disillusion The notion of our emancipation Lies far from any genuine liberation Seeking a detailed explanation We think therefore we're blessed A Machiavellian way of thought In struggle with all that society sought A full explanation's the king of our dreams To know: what's our role in the scheme of schemes Where is our place in this order of chaos?

The very maxim of the universe
Portrayed by the greatness the stars rehearse Premeditated by nature's sense A modest exuberance so intense That every mind has failed to grase it Forged by time on the last of eternity Complex constructions - a stellar fraternity Spread out on a canvas of deepest black The white glowing softness a fierce attack On every space still to be filled by matter A pursuance of that very first creation Expansion and a constant alteration The fringes of the canvas always stir The boundary is bathing in a blur |

"Who am I to behold?"
Time revises the existence Forms the timelessness of substance Thousand paths of furious chaos Circles the spine of the universe All the ways that I have been All the stars that I have seen I have seen the haven of eternity The hive of random universal unions Expire, expand to extinction Energised by the primal reflections Resile the innermost inning The energetics of the substance Enframing the salt of existence The gloat characters of the gods All the ways that I have been All the stars that I have seen I have seen the path of eternity Solid constellations, formations Sinking, through the black substance Through...

Stirring the roaming cosmic sea Oceans rise, planets igneous fall As chaos and beauty in fierce rage Furious are the storms Forever its rage carries on Disintergrating to create, upon fate Wearing the web of solar cast Hasting the view of Everlast Exploding Imploding Ascending, Descending A spear through life and death Exploding Imploding Poised in all chaos directions In fierce affection Spawning the orbs of furious light My sons of fire, you're children of the storm Breeder of life, harvester of all The last breath of the fall Exploding Imploding Ascending, Descending A spear through life and death Exploding Imploding Poised in all chaos directions In fierce affection Weaving the web of solar cast Hasting the views of Everlast |

Except for the memories Of what we had and what we knew Everytime I try to leave it behind me I see something that reminds me of you Every night the dreams return to haunt me Your rosary wrapped around your throat I lie awake and sweat afraid to fall asleep I see your face looking back at me looking back at me And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what lies behind the stare Is this all that's left Of my life before me Straight jacket memories sedative highs No happy ending like they've always promised There's got to be something left for me And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what lies behind the stare Lies behind my stare How many times must I live this tragedy How many more lies will they tell me All I want is the same as everyone Why am I here and for how long And I raise my head and stare Into the eyes of a stranger I've always known that the mirror never lies People always turn away From the eyes of a stranger Afraid to know what lies behind the stare |

I awoke on impact
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 |

Nikki: "kill mary?" Dr. x: "she's a risk, and get the priest as well." 10 p.m., i feel the rain coming down My face feels the wet, my mind the storm Flashing lights as people race to find shelter from the pour Moving silent, through the streets, they're mine, they're mine Midnite, she sings praises in the hall To saintly faces hallowed be their names she can't recall Sister mary, virgin mary, silent with her sin [ mary: "what are you doing out in the rain?" ] She feels me, i can taste her breath when she speaks [ mary: "i've been waiting for you. come in." ] Mary, mary just a whore for the underground They made you pay in guilt for your salvation Thought you had them fooled? now they've sent me for you You know too much for your own good Don't offer me faith, i've got all i need here My faith is growing, growing tight against the seam What we need is trust, to keep us both alive Help us make it through the night I've no more want of any faith Binds my arm and feed my mind The only peace i've ever known I'll close my eyes and you shoot No mary, listen, you've got to pull your strength from my lips I pray i feed you well Your precious cross is gone, it made me wait so long For what you gave to everyone The priest is cold and dead on his knees he fed From my barrel of death, he turned the holy water red As he died he said thank you I just watched him bleed I feel the flow, the blessed stain Sweating hands like fire, and flames Burn my thighs, spread in sacrificial rite The hallowed altar burns my flesh once more tonight Mary, sweet lady of pain Always alone Blind you search for the truth I see myself in you, parallel lives Winding at light-speed through time No time to rest yet We've got to stop his game Before madness has the final laugh Too much bloodshed We're being used and fed Like rats in experiments No final outcome here Only pain and fear It's followed us both all our lives There's one thing left to see Will it be him or me? 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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!

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 |

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 |
