1. Erase The Slate
Contradiction it's an expedition into darkness
Aggravation is the inspiration into madness
Soon the day will come when all the world will finally see
It's a matter of time / the sand will run out
Waiting for the rising sun
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
My religion is a mind condition as it turns out
Hesitating while my soul sits waiting through my blackout
Soon the day will come down when I'll reflect on all those years
My perfect world / sublime and surreal
Waiting for the rising sun
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Time and time remember when
Life forgave my call
Too much pride / could not repent
Can't escape at all
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
Erase the Slate
And start again
Erase the Slate[Erase the Slate]
Erase the Slate
And start all over again
Erase the Slate
2. 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
3. The Hunter
Clouds roll by as I look to the sky
And then the feeling comes, it comes on again
You know desire burns like a fire, fire of sin
Oh, will I ever learn
You're the only one I could call my own
But then the shadows fall and I'm gone again
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for things
That I might never find again
Care for you, you know that I always will
I know it's hard for you, my taste for the kill
But then it calls to me when the moon rises full in the sky
You know it's not denied
Will I ever find love and peace of mind
On these streets again, will it ever end
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for things
That I might never find again
You know desire burns like a fire, fire within
I guess I'll never learn
You're the only one I could call my own
But when the shadows fall, you know I won't be home
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again.
4. 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
5. Maddest Hatter
Talking to my rabbit friend he seems so bright indeed
A conversation over tea
Then he told me / I'm standing all alone
There's a crowd of people eating at my throne
Is it just me / is it just you
Or is it everyone
I want the ordinary life
When the sky is dark I feel like it's light
I want the ordinary life
I must confess / I'm the Maddest Hatter
Of them all
And it's so contrary that I know I shouldn't
Watch the rainbows circle my friend Mary
I wish that I could fly so I can see much more
I wish that I could see things
Like the others do
If it's just me / then it's just you
I'm not the only one
I want the ordinary life
When the sky is dark I feel like it's light
I want the ordinary life
I must confess / I'm the Maddest Hatter
Of them all
I want the ordinary
I wanna be with my friend Mary
I want the ordinary life
When the sky is dark I feel like it's light
I want the ordinary life
I must confess / I'm the Maddest Hatter
Of them all
I want the ordinary life
When the sky is dark I feel like it's light
I want the ordinary life
I must confess / I'm the Maddest Hatter
Of them all
6. Too High To Fly
We sold our sons and we sold our daughters
Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers
We took the gold, but the gold was water
I tried to save the world, but I failed her
She cries the tears that I never left her
I left them all behind
You were sitting in your darkest hour
Summer's gone
We tried to make the world so much better
We send our words in a pretty perfumed letter
You sit alone in your ivory towers
I'm just one person, I don't matter
You tap the needle, and you went to heaven
You left it all behind
Now you're feeling oh so better
Too high to fly
You should've seen me there (Yeah)
Too high to fly, my baby
But you were almost there
The sun shines down on my face
But you don't feel a thing (no, no, no)
The lines on the street, and the some rises
You looked too long for heaven, now you're blinded, baby
Another morning sun
Another day gone by
The storm's coming
With the pouring rain
Too high to fly
You should've seen me there (Yeah)
Too high to fly, my baby
But you were almost there
The storm comes with the pouring rain (Salvation)
The lines in the street, and the smoke rises
Wanderin' round for forty days, hope you find it
Too high to fly
You should've seen me there (Yeah)
Too high to fly, my baby
But you were almost there
7. 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
8. Paris Is Burning
This town I'm in can't take no more
Decadance is silly
You were my woman
Why'd you have to be so hard and cold
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Want to get to where you are
My life's in ruin
The girl I love
She's far away
The distant fire
Brings memories of the love
That I once knew
Where are you now
Been looking all around
And I can't stay
Help me now
I can't stay
Much more before I fade away
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Get back where you are
I can't believe
You'd throw it all away
You know you played me for a fool
I'm leavin' now
This time you know
That I'll be gone for good, yeah
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Get back where you are
Paris is burning, Paris
Paris is burning
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Paris (fade out)
9. 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
10. 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
11. 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
12. In My Dreams
