1. Neon Knights
Oh no! Here it comes again
Can't remember when we came so close to love before
Hold on, good things never last
Nothing's in the past, it always seems to come again
Again and again, again and again, again oh
Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Captain's at the helm, sail across the sea of light
Circles and rings, dragons and kings
Weaving a charm and a spell
Blessed by the night, holy and bright
Called by the toll of the bell
Bloody angels fast descending
Moving on a never-bending light
Phantom figures free forever
Out of shadows shining ever-bright
Neon Knight!
Neon Knights!
Alright!
Cry out to legions of the brave
Time again to save us from the jackals of the street
Ride out, protectors of the realm
Captain's at the helm, sail across the sea of light
Again and again, again and again and again
Neon Knights!
Neon Knights!
Neon Knights!
All night!
2. Lady Evil
There's a place just south of Witches' Valley
Where they say the wind won't blow
And they only speak in whispers of her name
There's a lady they say who feeds the darkness
It eats right from her hand
With a crying shout she'll search you out
And freeze you where you stand
Lady Evil, evil
She's a magical mystical woman
Lady Evil, evil in my mind
She's queen of the night, but alright, mmm-m
In a place just south of Witches' Valley
Where they say the rain won't fall
Thunder cracks the sky, it makes it bleed, yeah
There's a lady they say who needs the darkness
She can't face the light
With an awful shout, she'll find ya out
And have you before the night
Lady Evil, evil
She's a magical mystical woman
Lady Evil, evil on my mind
She's a queen of the night
So if you ever get to Witches' Valley
Don't dream or close your eyes
And never trust your shadow in the dark
'Cause there's a lady I know who takes your vision
And turns it all around
The things ya seen are what to be, lost and never found
Lady Evil, evil
She's a magical mystical woman
Lady Evil, evil on my mind
She's queen of the night
Gonna do you right
She's the queen of sin
Look out she'll pull you in
Lady Wonder
3. Country Girl
Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
She was up from (another/a nether) world, just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning
Desire what a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah
Ooh-ooh, yeah
We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever
Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bit
Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending
Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air, oh, yeah
In dreams I think of you
I don't know what to do with myself
Time has let me down
She brings broken dreams, fallen stars
The endless search for where you are
Sail on, sail on, sail on, sail on
Now fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine
She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady
Desire what a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh
Don't sail away on a crimson tide
Don't leave your heart on the other side
Her eyes are an endless flame
Ooh desire what a special name
Don't ever fall in love
Don't give your heart away
No never, never fall in love with a country girl
4. Voodoo
Say you don't love me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't love me, you'll learn
Nothin' you'll do will be new, 'cause I'm through, ah-ah.
Call me a liar, you knew
You were a fool, but that's cool, it's alright
Call me the Devil, it's true
Some can't accept but I crept inside you
So if a stranger calls you
Don't let him whisper his name 'cause it's voodoo, oh!
Fade into shadow, you'll burn
Your fortune is free, I can see it's no good
Never look back, never turn
It's a question of time 'till your mine and you learn
So if a stranger sees you
Don't look in his eyes 'cause he's voodoo, oh!
Say you don't love me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't love me, you'll learn
Nothin' you do will be new, 'cause I'm through
Voodoo!
Right!
Bring me your children, they'll burn
Never look back, never turn
Cry me a river, you learn
Voodoo!
5. The Mob Rules
Oh...Come on!
Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to call
Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the wall, oh
You've nothing to say
They're breaking away
If you listen to fools
The mob rules
The mob rules...
Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the same
Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, oh
It's over it's done
The end, the big death
If you listen to fools
The mob rules...
You've nothing to say
Oh they're breaking away
If you listen to fools
Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might stop rolling and take you right back around
You're all fools, fools rules rules
The mob rules
6. Turn Up The Night
A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well
The (darkened deliver/darken nether), I shake and I shiver down your soul
You know what to cover, I think for another it's a story told
So get a good hold, yeah
Rattle the voodoo, you thought that you knew who you are
Simple equation, (that's-the-relation/des-o-lation), but that's gone too far
A time of suspicion, a special condition that we all know,
So let it all go, yeah
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Night hides sorrow, day can light pain
Glick:
Black will not become a, white is for the saint
Slenker:
Black will not be colour, (white's/lies) for saint
Evil lurks in twilight, dances in the dark
Makes you need the movement, like a fire needs a spark to burn!
A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well
The darkened (deliver/nether), I shake and I shiver down your soul
So get a good hold, yeah
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Gotta turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Turn up the night, or turn off the light!
Get out the light!
Or turn up the night, it feeled right!
Or turn off the light, it feeled right!
Shut off the light!
Or turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
7. TV Crimes
One day in the life of the lonely
Another day on the round about
What do they need
Somebody to love
One night in the life of the lonely
There's a miracle on the screen
What did they see
Somebody to love
He guarantees you instant glory
Get your money on the line
Gotta send me a plastic Jesus
There's a check in the mail today
That's what I need
Somebody to love
We just won't eat on Sunday
Gotta buy him a limousine
Somewhere to live
Somewhere to pray
Every penny from the people
Keeps the wolf outside the door
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
But he'll give you more, yeah
Holy father
Holy ghost
Who's the one who pays the most
Rock the cradle don't you cry
Buy another lullaby
Jack is nimble, Jack is quick
Pick your pocket, turn a trick
Slow and steady, he's got time
To commit another TV crime
TV crime
One day in the life of the lonely
Back again on the round about
What do they need
Somebody to love
Yeah
One night in the life of the lonely
Another miracle on the screen
What did they see
Somebody to love again
A supermarket of salvation
Take a look inside the store
Shop around and find forgiveness for yourself
But he gives more
Holy father
Holy ghost
Who's the one who hurt you most
Rock the cradle when you cry
Scream another lullaby
Jack be nimble, Jack be slick
Take the money, get out quick
Slow and steady, so much time
To commit another
TV Crime, TV Crimes
8. Time Machine
Oh what are you gonna do
When there's a part of you
That needs to run with the wind?
And the fire of burning yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Stay out of shadows
Now looks like the change is on
Tomorrow's never gone
Today just never come
Go on and jump, yeah
Into the hurricane
You will forget the pain
It's only there
To exorcise your mind
Looking at the world
When you've open up your eyes
You've got to see promises they've made
They're bloody lies and broken dream
Your silence screamed
You're living in a time machine
And you can choose just who you are
Someone that you've never seen
Somewhere you've never been
You're living in a time machine
Oh what are you gonna do
When every part of you
Just needs to catch that wind?
And the fire of burnin' yesterdays
Can only light the way
To lead you from
The garden of the dark
Looking for the world
When you've opened up your eyes
You'll see you've got invisible chains
They're only lies
Not what it seems
I hear your silent scream
You're living in a time machine
Nobody cares just where you go
Taken where you've never been
Make it to somewhere you don't know
Living in a time machine
Why do you stay who you are
Be what you've never been
Someone you've never seen
You're living in a time machine
Yeah
9. Letters From Earth
Well it's a cold world
And I'm in the middle
Caught in the in-between
I don't belong here
So I'm writing to you
It's wrong here
And I'm sending you some
Letters from earth, yeah
Well it's a new world
And now I'm a stranger
Stranger than you know
I don't belong here
And I'm writing to you
With blood on my hands
What if I send you madness?
What if I send you pain
And letters from earth?
Oh all right
Come on, it's another game
But you gotta play on
Cause they say it's just pretend
Ask them why they say you'll never, never die
Come on - the game is called the end
Well it's a cold world
And I'm in the middle
Caught in the in-between
I don't belong here
So I'm writing to you
Hey! Let me explain
What if I send you confusion?
What is the time and the pain worth?
Oh no no
I'm only sending
Letters from the earth
Letters from earth
Letters from earth yeah
Letters from earth all right
Letters from earth
Letters from earth
Letters from earth
10. Heaven And Hell
Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The Devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker
So it's on and on and on, it's Heaven and Hell,
Oh well, yeah um
The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
The sooner you know that you're dreaming
So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell
I can tell, fool fool
(Ahhhhh-ah, ahhhhh-ah)
Oh-oh oohh-oohh
(Ahhhhhhhhh-ah)
Yeah yeah yeah-death
Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer
And it's on and on, on and on and on...
(Ahhh-ah, ahhhhhhhhh-ah)
They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you gotta ride it well
The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell, oh well
And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell, noh no
Fool fool, you got to bleed for the dancer
Fool fool, look for the answer
Fool, fool, fool
