If I Go Away
by Savatage Somewhere on that long lonely road We all stand alone Looking for clues From our different views In the dark I've called out your name It echoes in vain Over again In an empty room If I go away What would still remain of me The ghost within your eyes The whisper in your sighs You see Believe And I'm always there Staring down a long empty hall Pictures on walls All with your name But it's not the same Searching for the chord I can't hear Been searching for years It's somewhere inside But it's well disguised If I go away What would still remain of me The ghost within your eyes The whisper in your sighs You see Believe And I'm always there Someday I'll take a chance You find them where you can They tend to slip away Those doors to yesterday Forever is a long time they say Maybe some day I'll meet you there If you've time to spare Tell me then Where I can go Where they won't know Who I have been Can we start again And if I go away What would still remain of me The ghost within your eyes The whisper in your sighs You see Believe And I'm always there |

Beyond the skies, rising so high
Set a course for the unknown But I believe there's life out there Somehow we'll find it Countdown begins Our ship will soon launch On its perilous flight to the stars A civilised race, on some distant world We'll find you wherever they are I believe we'll find a new world Can't you see we cannot return? Systems are go as we leave behind A planet that's doomed to end Nuclear wars, the polluted seas Doomsday begins its descent Where do we go? What'll we find? Is there life? Other than mine? I believe For two thousand years we sought and we searched The galaxy's black holes in space Then on the day of 3013 we came upon a race I believe we can survive on this sphere Plotting a course to enter the stratosphere We're finally here, can we survive? A cryosphere I hope there's life I believe We land the ship on a green barren plain Once outside, from a box the voice came: Welcome to Earth May we ask who you are? Our race is called Man The planet is done, done, done, done, done, done, done! Planet is doomed Hands on the moon Forget the tune, yeah Hands of the moon Strike-out at two! Forget the blue! |

She's not what she seems
Just a vision in my dreams I wonder why Face to face she appears quite strange Never ever got her name I'm a fool inside Her eyes cried lady in disguise Lady in disguise I knew from the moment I saw her face To the edge of the world I would chase her again And when I'm out walking the town There's never a doubt that she'll be around with another guy Her eyes sighed, lady in disguise Lady in disguise I was captured from the start Bodies touching heart to heart I was holding her for long Then I woke and she was gone Then a voice called from the night I'm still into the night I sat up in my bed Sweat was running off my head This must have been a dream It took me a while, then I realized I still could feel her crystal eyes haunting me I died, lady in disguise Lady in disguise Lady in disguise Why, why |

In circles the winless fall
Head trapped between the wall Sonic blast right through their ears Iron curtain the mighty will fall Visions on a crystal ball Sorry tales of days gone past Living for the night Living for the night Just a thought Before your mind is lost Do you know who you are? Criminal days Life trapped inside a maze And little children can't go out Living for the night Living for the night Out of touch Out of control You watch the metal roll You play the part Just oh so well--AH!! Like a torch Without a flame A pleasure victim of pain You're caught inside And can't get out Living for the night!!! Living for the night!!! Living for the night!!! Living for the night!!! Living for the night!!! |

Ow! My legs are breakin', can't take no more
Six days in a haze, locked behind a door Searchlight on my trail, I hear the sirens wail Footsteps close behind, they're after me now Moonlight lights the way to a clearing up ahead ____light through the trees, the hunter flees again How long can I run? I feel it's just begun Nowhere left to hide, they're gaining on me Oh, on the run, oh, on the run, run, run I can't run anymore, they move this way too fast Finally caught up to me, a victim of my past I feel them closing in, the bad guy just didn't win I will not go back, I'm still on the run Oh, on the run, oh, on the run, run, run, run, run, run |

Far, far away.
I'd like to touch you, but you're not here today Now's the time I need you most, I think about the days we lost Baby, I need you here. I'm out on the streets alone tonight Lookin' for you, it don't seem right Baby, don't you know I'm fallin' apart How could you break my heart? Walking down the avenues, the ones I would walk with you It's funny how the nights last so long And with the dawn, comes another day Why won't you come, baby? Can't you see I can't hold on? I'm out on the streets again tonight Lookin' for you, it don't seem right Baby, don't you know I'm fallin' apart How could you break my heart? And so, comes another day My life without you seems to slip away I'm holding back the tears no more I feel like I'm locked behind these doors Will you walk with me someday? I'm out on the streets alone tonight Lookin' for you, it don't seem right Baby, don't you know I'm fallin' apart How could you break my heart? |

He's chasing you down the alleys of death
Where many have died, and where you will breathe your final breath Your pulse starts to quicken, blood runs to your head You start to feel sick by the thought of becomin dead Scream murder, he's coming for you Blade in his hand, he knows what to do, yeah Scream murder, what can you do? No one to help, it's just him and you He brings harm to your senses of fear A feeling that will not disappear, as the bells of midnight toll Where can you run to? Where can you hide? This feeling has built up inside He's gonna take it all away!!!!!! How his alley resembles the morgue Can you hear the pounding of the doors? That is his house, he's gonna get you today Scream murder! The last words you say Scream murder, he's coming for you Blade in his hand, he knows what to do, yeah. Scream murder, what can you do? No one to help, it's just him and you H's gonna get you! Alright!! No!!!!!!! No!!!!!! Get away!!!!!!!!! No!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! No!!!!!!!!! |

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!! |

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

A solitude of horror in his hours off guard
Nature took her hideous revenge Out of the black abyss came the creeping madness that was his other self Hyde, Hyde A good man to evil From the potion on the table Sampled by mistake But now it's far too late A cause for alarm He can do you harm, Man into beast Prepares for his feast Hyde, Hyde Stalking the neon city Standing in the shadow's Crimes of wrong nature on the twisted mind Black satin cape Eyes of insane fire Lurking in the darkness A killer on permanent hire For some he's but a tale For others just a legend Madness, myth and magic Worth a warning mention The change has taken place Running from mankind He may be after you In his other state of mind Standing in the shadows Stalking the neon city Crimes of wrong nature on the twisted mind So if you care to wander In a chemical adventure It might be a mistake The one you shouldn't make. |

I'm out on the streets alone tonight Lookin' for you, it don't seem right Baby, don't you know I'm fallin' apart How could you break my heart? |

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 |

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...

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 |

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 |

Standing alone in a dream
Where nothing is real But oh how real it feels There were times I lost my way I was alone, lost in a haze Where are you now I'll find you somehow And do I stand alone Like a fool out in the rain Hanging on somehow To an ancient vow Where there's nothing left to gain And do you know How it feels inside To be all alone A fool and his pride Scars are the wounds that we show Time only heals If you're letting go Many right I'd lay awake Tossing and turning till daybreak Where are you now I'll find you somehow In a summer's rain [4 times] Sometimes you got to believe Beyond yesterday I'm gonna find my way In the summer's rain |

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 |

Hey there Lord it's me I wondered if you're free Or not asleep This just won't keep It seems I just don't see Why all the things we asked Or prayed would come to pass Have gone unheard Like silent words That slip into the past For Lord they're not schemes Can't you tell dreams Why do you Let them slip by Never even tried It isn't you don't hear There's far too many tears Or can't you feel Are we unreal To one who knows no peers You say we must pay dues But still I am confused I need to walk And with you talk Instead of to statues For Lord they're not schemes Can't you tell dreams Why do you Let them slip by Never even tried You take all the fame But who'll accept the blame For all the hurts Down here on earth Unnecessary pain For surely you must care Or are you only air Built in out minds When we're in binds And never really there (Bridge) And can we be tired of you Is that something that we're allowed to do For even the blind change their view And it's time we tried something new And so I pled my case I'll now pull my escape Didn't mean to doubt What it's about Seems I forgot my place But if you find the time Please change the story line Or give a call Explain it all I'll even leave the dime |

As darkness falls so hard The children play .. Somewhere Out there Alone and out of place Streets of illusion Sooth the shattered fate I've been a runner I've been a sinner I've been inside my head I sit here staring Never quite caring And this is where it has led [Chorus] These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never sleep still never wake Somewhere out there Gardens bloom and grow Children awaken To a world they know Somewhere the sun shines Somewhere the light's kind Somewhere they seek the day Somewhere there's no scene Somewhere the air's clean But somewhere is so far away These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never sleep still never wake .... Welcome children From the other side In the darkness Your eyes are opened wide Here there are answers On the edge dancers Here the night hides out sins And if you listen While the streets glisten Here's where our story begins These streets Glitter in the dark Don't sleep Red eyes sunken and stark Dream deep In her arms where you are safe These streets Never sleep still never wake |

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 |

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 |

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 |

I really want to know
What you had in store I couldn't really tell Perhaps it's just as well I came here with a dream And I just had to see If my dream would soar I knocked on every door His whole life was written Written there inside The new weekly bible His modern T.V. Guide Every night he stares back at the screen, yeah A man only sees want he wants to see When he's in his mind Where he is that he wants to be Living in a world where he's safe from reality Won't you take a chance on this night And follow me Won't you follow me (repeat) Don't need no super heros Don't need no movie stars Don't need no politicians In big black shiny cars Don't need no preacher Whose church is my T.V. A man only sees what he wants to see When he's in his mind Where he is what he wants to be Living in a world where he's safe from reality Won't you take a chance on this night child And follow me Won't you follow me (repeat) Once was a broken hero The kind that we all know The kind that hides inside us For we never show The kind we say that could never be me His whole life was written Written there inside The new weekly bible His modern T.V. Guide Stare back at the screen, yeah yeah A man only sees want he wants to see |

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 |

And a cool, cool rain comes down
On a world burned by the sun And the moon arises like a child And the moment is undone And the stars never say what they see As the moon flirts with shadows it makes Through the fallen trees Some would wait for the morning light But I fall asleep 'til I'm safe In the arms of night Let the darkness roll in Let it wipe the light away In the distance Always calling Morpheus He beckons play Still the morning is pre-ordained But I believe light is the source of all of our pain It reveals our smallest sins But dark covers all and will always take you Armed and gunning I've been running Always just before the day In the distance Day is dawning But I'm already miles away In the night there's wonder Always there for you to see In the light of morning Visions fade And dreams can flee With the darkness the night forgives Covers our scars and lets The lost souls live And the morning's a distant fear But if we move fast they'll never find us Armed and gunning I've been running Through a world that's in decay Let them thunder stare and wonder Cause I'm already miles away And the rain comes down |

She's got shotgun innocence
In her eyes so intense Never sure of her intent She's a Paris pretty child Even got a wink that's styled Keeps it all behind a smile Look into those worldly eyes And you've got to wonder what she's done No use thinking you can win her Cause this child's already won And it's time that you stand up Show's on Here's why you paid Hold tight Net's gone So welcome to the stage And it's too late to be saved She don't need designer dress Has them all though I would guess Got the wardrobe of the blessed Cover of a magazine Movie star, beauty queen All wrapped up and razor clean Locking up with paradise Is really so much harder than it seems See her as a revelation Much more safely visited in dreams And it's time that you stand up Show's on Here's why you paid Hold tight Net's gone So welcome to the stage And it's too late to be saved So you find you're dreaming about her But it's such a little vice And if you think you've got a chance, boy Well it's time to roll the dice Stand up Show's on Here's why you paid Hold tight Net's gone So welcome to the stage Stand up Show's on Here's why you paid, yeah Hold tight, yeah Net's gone So welcome to the stage And it's too late to be saved Before it's too late Shotgun innocence Innocence |

Hey there you
Way out there in the distance Can you hear me Are you there I know it's late So please forgive my persistence But I'm hanging Do you care So lay back Call off the attack Cause if you look deep Dreams are nothing that I lack And all I seek A final chance to speak And I would let the whole thing keep If I could just sleep Hey there you Way out there could you show me Just a signal Or a sign That after all All these years that you've known me And I'm not just killing time So lay back Call off the attack Cause if you look deep Dreams are nothing that I lack And all I seek A final chance to speak But I would let the whole thing keep If I could just sleep As I lay there late at night Building castles in the air Out of alibis and all those little lies And then I look inside And pray that I don't care I don't care I don't care Hey there you way out there in the distance |

Alone You Breathe
(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 |

In the dark and bleeding
With the shadows seething There he stands alone Fools and faith conspire Questions of desire That they never owned Kings without their armor Men without their honor Spit out desecration Pieces of a nation Buried in the ground Screams without a sound Burn the castle down In the end the children cried That the jackal surely lied When he said please listen all Do not look behind these walls Coffins drowned in roses And the war he chose is Fought inside the mind Death becomes compelling When the soul's for selling And the world is blind In the maze he wanders Looks about and ponders shadows mock and taunt him And the ghosts that haunt him Chain him to the ground Screams without a sound Burn the castle down In the end the children cried That the jackal surely lied When he said please listen all Do not look behind these walls And does the pendulum toll Against the side of the soul When he feels the final moment is near Do you rage 'gainst the dark Try to re-write the part Turn around and face what you fear What you fear He's seen it all before Close your eyes and close the door And the dreams that nights embrace Slowly leave without a trace |

Chance
by Savatage He was standing all alone Trying to find the words to say When every prayer he ever prayed was gone And the dreams he`s never owned Are still safely tucked away Until tomorrow he just carries on Carries on Carries on Carries on instrumental break See the devil on the streets at night See him running in the pouring rain See him grinning `neath a twisted light I`ll be back again See the people standing in a row See them nodding like a field of grain No one sees the sickle though Coming `cross the plain And this he knows, if nothing more That waiting in the dark like destiny Are those who kiss the dogs of war And there is no tomorrow, no tomorrow Take a chance Take a, take a chance yeah See the devil he is so intense See the devil go and change his name What`s the going price of innocence It can`t be the same Is it dark when the moon is down Is it dark with a single flame If there`s glass falling all around I am not to blame And this he knows, if nothing more That waiting in the dark like destiny Are those who kiss the dogs of war And there is no tomorrow, no tomorrow Take a chance Take a, take a chance yeah Take a chance Take a, take a chance oh yeah instrumental break Burn the night away Burn the night away Burn the night instrumental break Pictures at an exhibition Played as he stood In his trance Staring at his inhibitions All the time believing That it now came down to nothing but this chance Chance Chance Chance I fear you Your silence Your blindness See what you want to see In darkness One kindness One moment Tell me what you believe I believe in nothing Never really had to In regards to your life Rumors that are not true Who`s defending evil Surely never I Who would be the witness Should you chance to die Father can you hear me This is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other`s destiny Father can U hear me this is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other`s destiny Father can U hear me this is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other`s destiny Father can U hear me this is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other`s destiny Look away Look away~~ Pictures at an exhibition Played as he stood In his trace Staring at his inhabitions All the time believing That it now came down to Nothing but this chance~~ CHANCE!! |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

There in the dark
There's a child and she's waiting Lost in the maze of a fait accompli Is it a crime to be just hesitating While we're pretending that we never see On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here watching you Watching you fall Is there a trick to the art of not feeling Safe in our world while another's child bleeds Praying that God won't demand a redealing Of cards we have held and pretend you don't need Don't need On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here Watching you Watching you fall Better not think about it Anytime we'll start to doubt it Christ has risen Keep him hidden God forbid he sees It's not that we lack the vision Only just a quick decision Who will blame us, rules restrain us It's all in history So close my eyes and pretend I am sleeping Avoiding the chance that you'll visit my dreams On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here Watching you, watching you Watching you, watching you Watching you, watching you fall Yeah yeah |
