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. In My Dreams
Toss and turn all night in the sheets
I can't sleep
Night after night don't know what it means
In my dreams
What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
Calling your name, but you're turning away
Please don't leave
Running in circles, waiting to see you
In my dreams
What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be
In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you'll always be
In my heart and in my dreams
In my dreams--it's still the same
In my dreams--you're still by me
In my dreams--just the way it used to be
In my dreams--what can I say
In my dreams--You're still by me
And in my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--your love is strong
In my dreams--You're still the same
In my dreams
3. 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
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. Burning Like a Flame
Never thought our love would last
For so long
Time and time again
I thought that you would be gone
Still we kept love hanging on
I guess it's meant to be
That your heart still belongs to me
And now we've stood the test of time
We survived
I asked for hope and a chance
You gave the key to your heart
You used to say that I'm not sincere
I'm gonna prove that you're wrong
I'm never gonna leave your arms
Should've realized before
Your love's worth waiting for
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It's out love that's never gonna change
'Cause every time I touch you
You just make me go insane
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Our love burning like a flame
Like a fantasy in the dark
You were gone
I couldn't say the words
That you wanted to hear
But baby, now that I see the light
I feel it's burning so bright
So let's stop wasting all this time
Should've seen it all before
Our love's worth waiting for
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It's out love that's never gonna change
'Cause every time I touch you
You just make me go insane
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Our love burning like a flame
Should've seen it all before
Your love's worth waiting for
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It's out love that's never gonna change
'Cause every time I touch you
You just make me go insane
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Our love burning like a flame
Our love, never gonna change
6. 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
7. 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
8. 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.
9. 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
10. Just Got Lucky
I should'a known better
Should'a seen right thru
Over and over falling in love with you
Wanting you for myself- my first mistake
Finding out the hard way
Was all that I could take
You were just using someone
And I was the one
She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
You're a devil in disguise
Don't wanna hear no lies- no apologies
Imagination gets the best of me
I'm looking everywhere- still I see your face
I'll never forget you- you put me in my place
You were just using someone
And I was the one
She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
I've been hypnotized
She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
You're a devil in disguise
Now that is over and I've seen right through
Not looking back again I'll start anew
Was making love to you such a wasted time
Maybe I love you, still, I'll get you off my mind
You were just using someone
And I was the one
She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
I've been hypnotized
She said "You just got lucky"
I was taken by surprise
"You just got lucky"
You're a devil in disguise
11. Back for the Attack
You needed love
So now I'm back
Rollin' the dice
Could leave you flat
I win, you lose
You're in trouble
'Cause I'm back
I'll set you straight
You know that I've got somethin'
I can give to you
And I'll give it to you
Face to face
Now I'm gonna show you
What you've got to lose
When I give it to you
Can't keep waitin' for you
All night, all night
You're in trouble
'Cause I'm back
Back for the attack
Now I'm back
'Cause you could not let me go
Back for the attack
Easy lovin'
It will be as easy
As you thought it would be
When you give it to me
All or nothin'
Cards are on the table
No one plays for free
It's just you and me
Can't keep waitin' for you
All night, all night
You're in trouble
'Cause I'm back
Back for the attack
Now I'm back
'Cause you could not let me go
I'm back
Back for the attack
Now I'm back
You're in trouble
Back for the attack
I'm back
Back for the attack
Now I'm back
'Cause you could not let me go
Now I'm back
Back for the attack
I'm back
You're in trouble
'Cause I'm back
Back for the attack
Now I'm back
And I'm gonna set you straight
'Cause I'm back
Back for that attack
I'm back
You're in trouble
Back for the attack
12. 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
13. Dream Warriors
I lie awake and dread the lonely nights
I'm not alone
I wonder if these heavy eyes
Can face the unknown
When I clse my eyes I realize
You'll come my way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together
With the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
I feel the touch comin' over me
I can't explain
I hear the voices callin' out
Callin' my name
It's the same desire to feel the fire
That's comin' your way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together
With the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
With the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Sweet revenge, the bitter end
This time
Break the spell of illusion
Bound together waiting for you
Dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
With the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
With the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors, forever
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors
14. Mr. Scary
15. Walk Away
A faded picture from your heart
Was all you left for me
I'm still waiting, stanging here
To see what I could see
Your love i borrowed just like time
It wasn't mine to keep
But the love we shared
I thought was there
And now you have to leave
Just walk away
There'll be no more tomorrows
Just walk away
You won't be there for me
From far away
I tried to say I'm sorry
But I can't find a way
(To) just walk away
Couldn't see for i was blind
The hurt you hide inside
I didn't mean to break your heart
I wish it had been mine
And as another day unfolds
Don't know what it means
Was it love we had
Or love gone bad
Still the love we need
Just walk away
There'll be no more tomorrows
Just walk away
You won't be there for me
From far away
I tried to say I'm sorry
But I can't find a way
(To) just walk away
I'm still standing, waiting here
Waiting for a sign
I didn't mean to break your heart
I wish it had been mine
Just walk away
There'll be no more tomorrows
Just walk away
You won't be there for me
From far away
I tried to say I'm sorry
But I can't find a way
(To) just walk away
Just walk away
Yeah, walk away
Just walk away...
16. 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)
