1. Tooth And Nail
Desperate living- driving me mad
Writings on the wall
Crushed all our hopes and the dreams we once had
Just to watch them fall
Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail
Last generation- reckless and free
Up against the odds
Toughts of revenge are going trough me
Fate lies in the cards
Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail
Desperate living- trying to see
Breaking all the rules
Only the strongs are gonna be free
From a world of fools
Tooth and Nail
Tooth and Nail
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail
2. When Heaven Comes Down
Total confusion- one final sin
Someone's religion and greed
Accidents happen, someone to blame
Who's got the answers we need?
I don't know who to believe
But I know who's gonna set me free
Cause I'll be waiting
When heaven comes down
Ashes to ashes, sorrow and shame
Look at the future again
Angels in heaven walking the streets
Searching for someone to blame
I don't know who to believe
But I know who's gonna set me free
Cause I'll be waiting
When heaven comes down
Until tomorrow
When heaven comes down
Cause I'll be waiting
When heaven comes down
Until tomorrow
When heaven comes down
3. Into The Fire
You weave your spell
Your eyes beckon me
Your lips they speak, lies and misery
I know it's wrong, but I can't turn away
The flames draw near, they're telling me to stay
(Into the fire) I'm falling
(Into the fire) I'm falling
Into the fire
Your love burns bright, and yet the flames are cold
This time I fear, you won't be back no more
When will it end, your love consumes my soul
Into the fire, I'm being tempted once more
(Into the fire) I'm falling
(Into the fire) I'm falling
Into the fire
Take me back whera I came back
Don't wanna see your face no more
You broke my heart, now it's not the same
I'm falling, again
I'm falling, again
Into the fire
4. Kiss Of Death
A brief encounter
Like wind through the trees
It came so suddenly
But then it was gone
Like it had never been
How could I have ever seen
A lost heart
Will take your soul
How could I have known
How could I have known
As she took me in her arms
And brought me to an end
With the kiss of death
The kiss of death
She promised paradise
As she lied upon her bed
Like a fallen angel
With the devil's charm
She promised paradise
With the kiss of death
I tried to stop
As she held out her hand
But the fire was burning inside
She knew what i wanted
She gave it and more
But now I must pay the price
We were strangers
Passing in the night
How could I have known
How could I have known
As she took me in her arms
And brought me to an end
With the kiss of death
The kiss of death
She promised paradise
As she lied upon her bed
Like a fallen angel
With the devil's charm
She promised paradise
With the kiss of death
As she took me in her arms
I felt the devil's charm
Suddenly I see
The final destiny
With the kiss of death
The kiss of death
She promised paradise
As she lied upon her bed
Like a fallen angel
With the devil's charm
She promised paradise
With the kiss of death
With the kiss of death
5. Shadows Of Life
Tale of woe open up my eyes
Keeping me from the other side
Satisfy what my soul believes
If it could only see
On a red sky
In a green sea
On a black night
I fell to my knees
Save it for the innocent
Save it for the cruel
And leave it in the shadows of life
On a ship full of hopes and dreams
Took a trip down to misery
Realized that I'd been before
I found it hard to believe
On a red sky
In a green sea
On a black night
I fell to my knees
Save it for the innocent
Save it for the cruel
And leave it in the shadows of life
Read between the lines
These are angry times
Save it for the innocent
Save it for the cruel
And leave it in the shadows of life
6. The Maze
Down these halls with many doors
Around each corner, right back where I started
Deep inside my mind it seems
I try to find an open door to go through
So they can see
I'm all right
Wanderin' round inside without a key
Watching with these open eyes
Locked inside the place that no one sees
Talking with eternity, trying to explain
Why I'm stuck inside the maze
All the corners look the same
Thought I'd finally found the way
But I'm right back where I started
Now I'm stuck inside the maze
All the corners look the same
Thought I'd finally found the way
Another door, an empty room
No one seems to have been here for some time
Where have they gone
An endless world of corridors
Searching for the one that finds the way
They look the same
I remain
Wanderin' round inside without a key
Watching with these open eyes
Locked inside the place that no one sees
Talking to eternity, trying to explain
Why I'm stuck inside the maze
All the corners look the same
Thought I'd finally found the way
But I'm right back where I started
Now I'm stuck inside the maze
All the corners look the same
Thought I'd finally found the way
Down these halls with many doors
Around each corner, right back where I started
Deep inside my mind it seems
I try to find an open door to go through
So they can see
I'm all right
Now I'm stuck inside the maze
All the corners look the same
Now I'm right back where I started
Another door, another room
I've been this way before
All the corners look the same
(Now I'm stuck inside the maze)
Now I'm stuck inside the maze
(All the corners look the same)
All the corners look the same
Now I'm stuck inside the maze
All the corners look the same
7. Long Way Home
Sitting in the crossfire all alone
Waiting for a world to show the way
Tried to find a rose without a thorn
Such a foolish notion fades away
[If it's all] in my mind
Then why does it feel
Like there isn't any time
Walk the road [Follow the madness]
Of someone's path
Search for self [Well it doesn't mean you're wrong]
If you can
'Cause it's gonna be ['Cause it's gonna be]
A long way home
Wandering through the maze of all the fears
In the mind it makes no sense at all
Tell me not what I'm supposed to do
Crucify you christ without my cross
If it's all in my mind
Then why does it feel
Like I'm running out of time
Walk the road [Follow the madness]
Of someone's path
Search for self [Well it doesn't mean you're wrong]
If you can
'Cause it's gonna be ['Cause it's gonna be]
A long way home
Mythical past
Future behind me, shattered
I could not be
Someone beside
Take back my soul, my soul
Walk the road [Follow the madness]
Of someone's path
Search for self [Well it doesn't mean you're wrong]
If you can
'Cause it's gonna be
A long way home
8. Breaking The Chains
Sit there thinkin'
In your room
You feel the pressure
You're goin' crazy too
The walls around you
Closin' in
You need a change
Claustophobic
Feelin' scared
You need somebody
But no one seems to care
A one way ticket
A change of pace
You've had enough
Can't take no more
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains
Got this letter
Came today
From my baby
Who left me yesterday
Said she loves
She'll come back
She wants to try
I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than somethin' I'll regret
She's been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
Twenty times a year
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Woke up today
I'm alone
I look around
But baby you were gone
But I don't mind
And I don't worry
I will survive
I'm alone
Now that you're gone
Don't need nobody
To hold or tie me down
I broke the chains
So let me be
I've gotta be free
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains
9. Unchain The Night
I've been lost in the middle
Always trying to find the wishing well
Running around in circles
Never crossing the line
Don't want to touch you
Don't want to see
You've got a knife in your heart
Don't say that you did it for me
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is gone
Never unchain the night
Cause there's always another turn
You know right where you want it
But you never gave it in return
Running me in circles
Always crossing the line
Don't want to touch you
Leave you confused
You took the easy way out
When you looked through the eyes of a fool
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is strong
Never unchain the night
Cause there's always another turn
Never, never
Never, never
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is gone
Never unchain the night
I'm never gonna set you free
Never unchain the night
Don't tell me that the love is gone
Never unchain the night
Cause there's always another turn
Never unchain the night
10. Nothing Left To Say
There were days when we were closer
You were all I had
Lost a soul, but not forgotten
Had to give it back
Lost, feeling so lost
No more tears can we shed
And time slipping through our minds
Wishing I could forget
Guess there's nothing left to say
Guess there's nothing left to say
(Nothing left to say)
When there's nothing left
Memories of the days now passing
Still they come and go
Visions of a word we tried to say
We didn't know, we were
Lost, feeling so lost
No more tears can we shed
And time, slipping through our minds
Wishing I could forget
Guess there's nothing left to say
Guess there's nothing left to say
(Nothing left to say)
Guess there's nothing left to say
(Nothing left to say)
When there's nothing left
There were other days
When I believed we'd make it through
I was such a fool
For the way it used to be
Now it's time to set you free
Guess there's nothing left to say
Guess there's nothing left to say
When there's nothing left
11. I Will Remember
12. Alone Again
I'd like to see you in the morning light
I like to feel you when it comes to night
Now I'm here and I'm all alone
Still I know how it feels, I'm alone again
Tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you
I said stay, but you turned away
Tried to say that it was me
Now I'm here and I've lost my way
Still I know how it feels, I'm alone again
Tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
I tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
13. Mr. Scary
14. It's Not Love
Told you I had to leave, I had my reasons
I said that it hurt to stay, the way that I'm feelin'
It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take
Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why did you have to hold on
You know it's not love anymore
Gave you your last chance but you didn't believe me
You can't keep me satisfied, the way that you treat me
It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take
Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why, stop playing with my heart
I told you
It's not love
Telling you to be this way
It's not love
Sayin' you can never change
It's not love
When I told you
Is he putting you down
Down, down, down
