1. Imaginary Music
Imagine you are standing on a stage
In another time, in another age.
They begin to cheer at the sound of your guitar
Out of control, rock'n'roll, you are a star
Midnight, warrior, like a dream, wake up!
Fifty million fans, they know your name
They all love you so, that's why they came.
You'll never have the time to spend all the money you earn.
You 're running too fast, remember the past, when will you learn.
(Bridge)
All night warrior, like a dream
Things aren't what they seem to be, and there's no end as far as you can see
(Chorus)
Imaginary music, hang on so you don't lose it
Imaginary music, it's power, don't abuse it
Imagine you 're standing on a stage
And the beams of light surround you like a cage
Trapped inside a dream from down below
You think you've got it all, what you don't know
2. Killers of the Unborn
Imagine you are standing on a stage
In another time, in another age.
They begin to cheer at the sound of your guitar
Out of control, rock'n'roll, you are a star
Midnight, warrior, like a dream, wake up!
Fifty million fans, they know your name
They all love you so, that's why they came.
You'll never have the time to spend all the money you earn.
You 're running too fast, remember the past, when will you learn.
(Bridge)
All night warrior, like a dream
Things aren't what they seem to be, and there's no end as far as you can see
(Chorus)
Imaginary music, hang on so you don't lose it
Imaginary music, it's power, don't abuse it
Imagine you 're standing on a stage
And the beams of light surround you like a cage
Trapped inside a dream from down below
You think you've got it all, what you don't know
3. In the Eye of the Fire
You are the beauty of life; carry that thought in your mind
Don't ever think you 're losing the game
Let all your feelings come out
Scream them out loud you can shout
Don't hold it in, call on his name
(Bridge)
Beware of the lie that it's happy to die, no, no
Wait out your strife but don't take your life
(Chorus)
In the eye of the fire
In the eye of the fire
Do you feel weak inside?
Sometimes you wish you could die
Feels like no hope is ever to be
You have been hurting too long
Why not let god make you strong,
He'll lead you to joy, find him and see
Dying isn’t the key
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
You are the seed of life
Give up your pain and your strive
You 're better than who you think you are - by far
There is no easy way out
Of the problems you're facing, no doubt
But one thing I know
You don't have to go
Over the edge
There 's a lot you don't know
Jesus knows
Don't make his dream, the satanic scheme, no
Wait out your strife but don't take your life
(Chorus)
4. Terrorist Child
See the fire of a burning rage
Teach a class full of kids to hate
Pledge allegiance to an unknown cause
A fight they know nothing of
(Chorus)
Terrorist child, if you only knew
You were taken and brainwashed only to kill
´Terrorist child, your days are few
And the blood that you shed will come back to you,
Terrorist child
The playground is their battlefield
The army game they play is real
No fun in their little lives
Only trained to die
(Chorus)
5. Close to the Edge
And then it came at the end of all time
A time where nothing grows old, nothing dies
It's a place where you can fly all around, heaven is found
Can't you see the bright lightning in sound
Close to the edge - I was running out of time
Close to the edge - but now there's peace of mind
And now I look to the north and I see in front of me
A shining blue light in the distance, oh I see
A castle of ivory gold, look out, behold
It almost never became my home
Close to the edge - I was running out of time
Close to the edge - walking on a thin, thin line
Close to the edge - the spotlight shines on you now
Close to the edge - you better make your choice soon now
Close to the edge - your heart's the key that makes you free
Close to the edge - as the world blinds your eyes, god can make you see
You're close to the edge
Don't burn out the light, it ain't burning bright,
Son, can't you see where you're going, you're close to the edge
I know you cry, you don't wanna die,
So take what I’ve found, and you'll be miles and miles from the edge
You're close to the edge
On the edge of the world there's only one rhyme
But you ain't got the time to know what it means,
You're dead, you're dead
Don't figure it out 'cause you're dead, you're dead.
On the edge of the world, on the edge of the world
No one else can save you only Jesus
Close to the edge
6. Dead Lock
Smoke and fire on your lips again
Desire strikes you out and wins
Bang goes your head again locked in chains
Little do you know it's got you bound 'til you go insane
(Bridge)
They glorify that feeling in their eyes
They think it's cool but they'll never realize
What a thin disguise
(Chorus)
Deadlock, crawling into the dark, they're in a
Deadlock, before they realize they are caught
Hot steel, the pipe's never cold anymore
The more you feel the more you can't let go
Bang goes your body now; cocaine
Harmless though it seems, it starts just like a dream,
But it end
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
Give me a drink, leave me alone, I don't care what you think
I don't got a problem, no; you've got the problem
Deadlock - you're dead
Deadlock - you better give it up instead
Deadlock, deadlock, deadlock
I'm never going back, never, it doesn't last,
Reality is hitting me
They think they're in control,
But their desire is digging a deeper hole, they're in a Deadlock
I'm talking to you as a friend
And I love you 'til the very end
It's not the way to go, don't follow those who never
Never know
7. Cultic Regimes
Smoke and fire on your lips again
Desire strikes you out and wins
Bang goes your head again locked in chains
Little do you know it's got you bound 'til you go insane
(Bridge)
They glorify that feeling in their eyes
They think it's cool but they'll never realize
What a thin disguise
(Chorus)
Deadlock, crawling into the dark, they're in a
Deadlock, before they realize they are caught
Hot steel, the pipe's never cold anymore
The more you feel the more you can't let go
Bang goes your body now; cocaine
Harmless though it seems, it starts just like a dream,
But it end
(Bridge)
(Chorus)
Give me a drink, leave me alone, I don't care what you think
I don't got a problem, no; you've got the problem
Deadlock - you're dead
Deadlock - you better give it up instead
Deadlock, deadlock, deadlock
I'm never going back, never, it doesn't last,
Reality is hitting me
They think they're in control,
But their desire is digging a deeper hole, they're in a Deadlock
I'm talking to you as a friend
And I love you 'til the very end
It's not the way to go, don't follow those who never
Never know
8. Heaven or Nothing
I've often heard about a place so far away
No man has ever lived to tell about it
But as I look into your face and see the beauty from above I just don't doubt it
If being with you is like the heaven I know
Then there s no other place I would rather go
Give me heaven
Heaven or nothing
There s no other feeling like it in this world
(Please give me) heaven or nothing
All the earthly love that I’ve known has left me in the cold
We will walk together on streets made of gold
Give me heaven or nothing
You are the woman, too good to be true
Like a dream or a fairy tale, just me loving you
I know that we will live forever
In a castle in the sky, in the land of never
If being with you is like the heaven I know
Then there 's no other place that I would rather go
(Chorus)
How could it be that love has conquered all
When I hold you in my arms I hear the angels call
And now I see no other pace will do
'Cause I’m in heaven when I’m standing next to you
9. King of Kings
There's a mountain up in the Havens
That can never ever be moved
He's the Father of all creation
And He knows you even better than you do
He's the rock, the great I Am, the reason why we sing, He's the
King of kings, the master of all things
The power and the source
The everlasting force
You and I are just one of creation
We were formed in the beginning of time
God took some sand and made it flesh
With one breath
Created the first man
He's the rock, the great I Am, the reason why we sing, He's the
(Chorus)
In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth,
This magnificent earth
All the mountains and the trees
All the creatures that fill the seas
His earth, this beautiful earth
He's the
(Chorus)
King of kings
10. Living Dead
Take the book of life, he said, is his name to be read
The angel looked and nodded no, far be it that you should go
The throned one said why should I let you in, you said me good-bye
The human one said I don't know, but I’m not as bad as my friends below
(Bridge)
Why should I believe what you say
You destroyed your own life anyway
By not choosing, you've made your choice already
People don't make his mistake, you'll be sorry
(Chorus)
Break-out, the living dead,
Break-out forever
Break-out, the living dead,
Break-out of them forever, living dead
Make the kill between the eyes; the old man say good-bye
Shoot the arrow, kill the sin, give birth to life, get born again
Take the road of destiny that leads you past evil's tree
Drop the blade, no suicide can help you find a place to hide
(Bridge & chorus)
Look in the sky and tell me what comes to your mind
Look in my eyes, are these, the eyes of disguise
They feet they can walk but their eyes cannot see
Their hearts made of lead, it's the living dead
Spin the wheel of chance, what did you win
But this is no game show you're starring in
Life's but a burning blade of grass
Before you know it earth will be your past
How can I believe just what you say
When you destroyed your own life anyway
Your phone was off the hook, I could not reach you
And your will was not at home, I never met you
Break-out, the living dead,
Break-out forever
Break-out, the living dead,
Break-out
Gouge the eyes out of a wounded man, good is shout, evil stands
Happiness is now a tale of long ago, the people failed
Meanwhile believers live in heaven's peace, the master gives
Take the book of life, he said, I don't allow the living dead
