1. Unchosen One
Here we sit at the edge of the world
It’s a long way to fall from here
If your Faith can move mountains then why
Are you scared to come here to me
And we all know the prayers that the innocents cry
When we ask for the truth, they just offer us lies
In the daylight we pray that the night will not come
When they offer the feast to the Unchosen One
Offer the feast to the Unchosen One
To the Unchosen One
At the feast let us all gather round
Raise a glass to these powers unknown
Fallen from grace, we’ve fallen so far
We can’t heal the wounds, we can’t heal the scars
And we hide from the sin as our world comes undone
And we bite at the heels of the priviledged
And we look to the past as we bury our dead
And we offer our lives to the Unchosen Ones
Offer our lives to the Unchosen Ones
Unchosen, Unchosen One
Now we sit at the edge of the world
It’s a long way to fall from here
And we all know the tears that the innocents cry
When we ask for the truth, they just offer us lies
In the daylight we pray that the night will not come
When they offer the feast to the Unchosen One
Offer our life to the Unchosen One
Offer our life to the Unchosen One
Unchosen One
Hide from the sun
Hide from these powers unknown
2. Wounded Land
There’s a silence you hear when your poor heart stops beating
I remember that sound from the days when I was young
I struggled for peace now I’m too tired to wander
This lands that was ours, now I can see that it’s gone
I called this land my home
Why did you come here? Why do you slay?
With love you could have all the answers
We Lost one thousand years
Lived through the Fire and Rain
Lived through the Fear and Shame
Lived through the Hurt and Pain
Now we’re lost forever in this Wounded Land
This Wounded Land
There’s a Song from the East that you will remember
Write the words down and follow the Eastern Star
You’re the Bringer of Death, Destroyer of Worlds
A mother lies weeping for all that she’s lost in this world
If I live one Thousand years
Lost for a thousand years
Lost in the Valley of Tears
Lost but we learn to survive
One day we’ll reclaim and heal this Wounded Land
Wounded Land
Wounded Land
Wounded Land
Lost for a thousand years
Lost in the Valley of Tears
Lost but we learned to survive
Now we Rise to take and heal this Wounded Land
This Wounded Land
This Wounded Land
This Wounded Land
3. Some People Fly
I saw an angel, who lost her wings today
A delicate whisper, a symphony for her aching beauty
Naked and frightened, I watch her crawl away
She may have touched the face of god and found she could not stay
So bitter and twisted, a purely human stain
A gentle hand to brush away the tears of crushed frustration
Oh no, they build you up just to watch you stumble
Oh Destiny
‘Cause some people fly
Fly high in wings of Fortune
Don’t you cry, a change is in the wind
You fly, fly high on wings of fortune
Don’t deny, a change is gonna come
You fly
You tasted the poison, from the cup of life
Not all you wanted, not at all the things you hoped for
So live with the madness, live without the fear
Supestition is for those who can’t control their own fate
Oh no, they build you up just to watch you stumble
Oh Destiny
‘Cause some people fly
Fly high in wings of Fortune
Don’t you cry, a change is in the wind
You fly, fly high on wings of fortune
Don’t deny, a change is gonna come
You fly
You say love will last forever
But it won’t, but it won’t, but it won’t
Oh no, they build you up just to watch you stumble
Oh Destiny
‘Cause some people fly
Fly high in wings of Fortune
Don’t you cry, a change is in the wind
You fly, fly high on wings of fortune
Don’t deny, a change is gonna come
You fly
You fly
You fly
4. Singing Alone
No regrets as I look back, the final curtain call
Spotlights fading on the ceiling
Time has caught me now, laughing in the wings
No choir, no angels sing
I’m singing Alone one time
Tell me can you hear me?
There is nothing on the stage anyway
I’m singing Alone one time
Tell me can you hear me?
There is nothing on the stage anyway
Raise a glass and remember, everything is fine
Now my time is finally over
Shed no tears for me, just hold me for a while
I found peace here in your arms
I’m singing Alone one time
Tell me can you hear me?
There is nothing on the stage anyway
I’m singing Alone one time
Tell me can you hear me?
There is nothing on the stage anyway
I’m singing Alone one time
Tell me can you hear me?
There is nothing on the stage anyway
I’m singing Alone one time
Tell me can you hear me?
There is nothing on the stage anyway
5. Future Rising
Thought I saw my future rising
I watched your eyes turned cold
I lost my faith in magic and through this world I walk alone
There’s a trick of the light, sweet call on the wind
My Master of Pain and Illusion walks in
Spirit of light... Points a finger
Spirit of light... comes to save us to
The Temple of Fools
The Tower of Sin
Spirit of light... Points a finger
Spirit of light... comes to save us to
The Temple of Fools
The Tower of Sin
Through the long dark days I wonder
No stars to light my way back home
I found no trace of angels
I curse the demons in my mind
There’s a trick of the light, sweet call on the wind
My Master of Pain and Illusion walks in
Spirit of light... Points a finger
Spirit of light... comes to save us to
The Temple of Fools
The Tower of Sin
Spirit of light... Points a finger
Spirit of light... comes to save us to
The Temple of Fools
Where we’ll all meet again in the end
Spirit of light... Points a finger
Spirit of light... comes to save us to
The Temple of Fools
The Tower of Sin
Spirit of light... Points a finger
Spirit of light... comes to save us to
The Temple of Fools
Where we’ll all meet again in the end
6. House of Nevermore
There was a time when I knew we’d be lonely
No last kiss then we had to move away
We had our chance and we burned in the starlight
Then our song was carried on the wind
I can still remember, I can still see your face from before
Always remember, some love leads to the House of Nevermore
Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me
With your eyes as black as a moonless night
Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me
You carried my cross and I let you down
Let you down
Let you down
There was a time when I called you my lover
That time has passsed and I won’t see you anymore
I keep the pain of the night far behind me
Another road to the House of Nevermore
I still remember the curse and the sting of your kiss
Don’t cry for mercy, you know that’s one thing I’l never give
I will never giver
Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me
With your eyes as black as a moonless night
Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me
Nail me to your cross and let me cry
Always remember, some love leads to the House of Nevermore
Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me
With your eyes as black as a moonless night
Sweet angel of the street, come dance with me
You carried my cross and I let you down
I let you down
Let you down
If I take the road to the House of Nevermore
Who will be waiting to open up the door
I fall asleep in the House of Nevermore
If I should wake, will I find the door?
7. Midnight in Tokyo
Shout it out
Under neon skies the hot night city streets
You are the master of your own fate
Shout it out
All that you have heard, this place where dreams come true
Is not so very far from you
You are never alone here
Shout it out
Spotlight flashes bright and blinds you where you stand
Lighting up this sea of hands
Shout it out
Screaming voices rise and slowly die away
Burned in the memory of the day
You can soak up the nightlife at the Lexington Queen
Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
Speeding faster than a bullet from a gun
Through the mountains we will run
Kiss Osaka then it’s on to old Kyoto
Where you know we’re gonna shine
I can never belong here but I don’t want to go home
Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
Shout it out
Shout it out
8. Sail on Stormy Waters
There’s a shaking of the spirit
There’s a stranger in the town
And the words that he has spoken
Said to keep the people down
I tried so hard to reason
But I guess it was in vain
And I know I’ll never see your likes again
I was wandering through my life time
I was lost out in the dark
I’ve been begging for redemption
And I need it kinda fast
I been crying for my angels
But they won’t hear my prayers
Guess I’ll never, ever see your like again
I walk alone in this world, I miss the best days of my life
When we sailed on stormy waters, they were the best days of my life
I walk alone in this world and my tears fall down like rain
Guess I never, ever see your likes again
I was struck down by an angel
And she left me lying here
I’ve been crying in my whisky
I’ve been drowning in my beer
Even JT could not save me
I was sinking hard and fast
But I stood up and I blasted out the past
I walk alone in this world, I miss the best days of my life
When we sailed on stormy waters, they were the best days of my life
I walk alone in this world and my tears fall down like rain
‘Cause I know I’ll never see your likes again
I don’t care if I never see your likes again
I walk alone in this world, I miss the best days of my life
When we sailed on stormy waters, they were the best days of my life
I walk alone in this world and my tears fall down like rain
‘Cause I know I’ll never see your likes again
I walk alone in this world, I miss the best days of my life
When we sailed on stormy waters, they were the best days of my life
I walk alone in this world and my tears fall sweet face again
9. Resurrection Sympathy
Lacerate me, so much the pain is so real
Fornicate me, so you can learn how to feel
I liberate you, from this miserable world
Now you never gonna see or know what might have been
Medication, you like the feel of the rush
The indication, is that you’ll jump with the push
And now you hate it, when they ask you what’s wrong
‘Cause they’ll never understand, you’re much too deep for that
You got the style but not the grace
You got the loook, you ain’t got the face
Resurrect some sympathy
What’s been good for you ain’t right for me
And no amout of reason will ever make you see it
Resurrects some sympathy
What’s been right for you ain’t good for me
And no amount of screaming will ever be a reason to live
You need a reason to live
Congratulations, on your degenerate soul
Communication, I hear you scream from your hole
Illumination, you had another bright thought
Itr’s just another stupid battle that just must be fought
You got the urge but not the edge
You got the heart, you ain’t got the head
Resurrect some sympathy
What’s been good for you ain’t right for me
And no amout of reason will ever make you see it
Resurrect some sympathy
What’s been right for you ain’t good for me
And no amount of screaming will ever be a reason to live
Resurrect some sympathy
What’s been good for you ain’t right for me
And no amout of reason will ever make you see it
Resurrect some sympathy
What’s been good for you ain’t right for me
No use denying, you only want a reason to live
To live
Need a reason to live
Reason to live
You need a reason to live
10. Forever Young
I know that face from another place and time
Looks so familiar, so ageless and divine
This cannot be, he has not aged a day
I caught his eye and I had to look away
Forever Young, what secrets do you keep?
This can’t be real, I knew him from before
This Vagabond, this Charlatan, this Whore
To see him now, a freak from my dark past
Was that a smile of knowing as he passed?
Forever Young, what secrets do you keep?
Forever Young, what secrets do you keep?
Together forever, we’ll be Forever Young
Timeless, ageless, What secrets have you locked away
Try to breathe, try to hide, are you dying on the inside?
Oh Oh Forever young
Tomorrow’s gone and forgotten
But I can still hear your song
Forever young, forever young, forever
Oh oh Forever young
Timeless! Ageless!
What secrets have you locked away?
Graceless! Godless!
I hear you scream at the night
Oh Oh Forever young
The curse of time does not fall down upon his head
Forever young screaming please let it end
Forever young
