1. Frost and Fire
The tales that speak of frost and fire
The Frost Monstreme and the Fire Divine
The frost preserves and the fire destroys
Like pouring rain on the sands of time
I feel it burning and I feel the freeze
The frost, the fire, it burns inside of me
The tales that speak of frost and fire
The guardian angels and the demons of night
The power preserves and the Beast will destroy us
Like gathering darkness in the circle of light
I feel it burning and I feel the freeze
The frost, the fire, it burns inside of me, yeah
I feel it burning and I feel the freeze
The frost, the fire, it burns inside of me
The tales that speak of frost and fire
Tales of all the souls that fell
Words that burn and words that chill us
Like laughter kinding in the heart of Hell
I feel it burning and I feel the freeze
The frost, the fire, it burns inside of me
It burns inside of me, it burns inside of me
2. I'm Alive
I shiver when I remember
The things that I have seen
I know the light, I know the Night
I have walked with things unseen
I have been a king invincible
I've been the poorest of the poor
I've pulled the mighty from their thrones
And laughed at Death's own door
'Cause I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
I roamed the world in search of life
Death followed in my wake
I searched for truth, I want the truth
And learned more than I could take
I've walked the roads of mystery
And it's aged me much too soon
I've paied the piper and I've paied him well
But he still calls the tune
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I shiver when I remember
The shadow of the past
The lonely ways, the lonely days
When every breath might be my last
I lost my heart, I lost my soul
By every hand betrayed
But I've still got strength, I've still got life
And that will never change
'Cause I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive, I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
3. A Little Fire
Lying awake in the dead of night
Listening to my heart beat away
Wishing I wasn't alone here tonight
But wishing just gets in the way
I just want, I just want a little fire [2x]
The night's so cold when you're all alone
At least it's always been cold to me
And the clock ticks away, ticks away, ticks away
And the clock settles in around me
I just want, I just want a little fire [2x]
Fire
You might be wondering just how it feels
Well I hope you never know
'Cause I know exactly how it feels
It's all I ever know
I just want, I just want a litte fire [4x]
Fire, fire
4. What Does It Take
I think I'm losing my innocence
I'm out to get what I can get
I'd put it down to experience
But I haven't had any yet
What does it take to get to you? [2x]
Maybe it's better him than me
A pretty picture but I don't wanna see
With different faces and different names
They all seem different but they're all the same
What does it take to get to you? [2x]
Look through me like I'm not there
You always act like you just don't care
You always see what you wanted to see
Why don't you take a better look at me?
What does it take to get to you? [6x]
5. Edge of a Knife
It seems I'm always frustrated
When I should be satisfied
But as long as I'm frustrated
I know I'm still alive
I've got 20/20 hindsight
But I won't live in the past
I like to look up at the sky
When I'm flat on my ass
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that's what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that's what they mean by real life
I've got my rock 'n roll haircut
I've got my rock 'n roll jeans
Just to make me feel like
Someone I'd rather not be
I don't care if you laugh at me
It's better than beeing ignored
Anyway, I'm used to it
That's what fools are for
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that's what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that's what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that's what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that's what they mean by real life
Maybe I gotta get hurt
Maybe that's what I need
'Cause I got music in my bloodstream
Sometimes I just can't seem to bleed
I don't care if you laugh at me
It't better than beeing ignored
Anyway, I'm used to it
That's what fools are for
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that's what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that's what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that's what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that's what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that's what they mean by real life
Edge of a knife, edge of a knife
Maybe that's what they mean by real life
6. Better Off Dead
I'm tired of beeing the odd man out
I speak with a whisper and feel with a shout
I feel out of tune, I feel out of key
I feel like I'm missing a part of me
I've got a lot on my head
And my condition's read
I think I'm better off dead
Sometimes
Some people say that lightning never strikes twice
But I've been hit more than once in my life
I've been taken in so many times
A thousand promises, a thousand lies
I've got a lot on my head
And my condition's read
I think I'm better off dead
Sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes I take a look at the world
And sometimes I take a look at the girls
I'm just a spectator, I don't get involved
I've got too many problems of my own to solve
I've got a lot on my head
And my condition's read
I think I'm better off dead
Sometimes
I've got a lot on my head
And my condition's read
I think I'm better off dead
Sometimes, sometimes
7. Maybe That's Why
I don't know how you really feel
I just know you've been hurt
Wish i could say what i really feel
But i know you need more than words
To say everything i wanted to say
I'd have to write a book
But you can say so much more
With just a signle look
Chorus:
Maybe tha'ts why, maybe that's why,
i love you...
Close my eyes and i see your face
My heart stars beating your name
Look in your eyes and i melt away
I know i'll never be the same
Chorus
Now here's the moral of the story
I know it's easier said than done
Believe in your dreams, believe in yourself
No matter, no matter what comes
You've got the power, you've got the strength
I know you're gonna pull through
And just in case it matters
Remember that i believe in you
Chorus
