1. Feeding The Fire
(V)
I'm thinking tonight as I'm watching a star streak across the sky
Someday that could be us blowing up, burning out, with Vegas trailing behind
Look at what we've become a race of pirhanas with a taste/lust for speed
We're the human race that's right turning into selfish racing machines
(Pre)
We don't care what for
All we know
Is we want more
(Ch)
Our insane desire
As we pull the wire
It's enough to feed the fire
Tell me why we're so eager to fan the flames
(V2)
I am shaking my head should I laugh or cry when I see how it is
It's like we're sayin if the ends gonna come go ahead and get it over with
What we are doing to ourselves and the earth how we broken all the bonds of trust
She is helping us out and she'll celebrate the day she's getting rid of us
Pre
Chorus
2. Birth Of The Sun
(Ch)
Chasing the years that are gone,
When I was young,
Watching the birth of the sun
(V)
I am a shadow made of tears,
I am a sound that no one hears
Nothing's old and nothing's new,
I need a crane with a view
I am too blind to see the dark,
Not enough to see the sun
But when morning comes again,
No one can catch me as I run
(Pre)
In the mirror you see reality
Nothing you do can change the face of time
(Ch)
Chasing the years that are gone,
When I was young,
Watching the birth of the sun
Remember the times that we had,
They won't come again,
Watching the birth of the sun
(V2)
Fly away to northern skies,
Change your mask a million times
Even expressions that you wear,
Considered as odd by those who care
Every cross you chose to bear,
Every pain you never shared,
Every joy that passed you by,
Forever locked away in time
Pre
Chorus
Chasing the years that are gone,
When I was young,
Watching the birth of the sun
Remember the times that we had,
They won't come again,
Watching the birth of the sun
All of our memories,
Inside of me,
Watching the birth of the sun
(Bridge)
Now it all goes by so fast
Look away and I'm gone
Chorus
3. Prisoner
(V)
All of my dreams, taken away
I'm picturing who's to blame
They're saying it's me, they're totally wrong
I wish you could see the same
All of these words, are just an evasion
But I see the truth so clear
You wanna hide it, you wanna deny it
There are no innocents here
(Pre)
Tell me my crime
Your fatal mistake
It's nothing but allegations
You're wastin' your time
You're wasting mine
You know you're a liar
(Chorus)
Building cages out of our own convictions
Talking in circles, placing the blame
Nothing will change in a world of resistance
We make, justice, imprisonment forever
Prisoner
(V)
You say that I, seek justification
Where there is none to be found
Tell me what else, I need to see
I know in guilt you are bound
I have no use, for your excuses
They're just a convenient frame
If you attack me, for no other reason
Then we know who's to blame
(Pre)
I know your crime
I say you're blind
You've fallen from grace forever
You're wastin' your time
You're wasting mine
You know you're a liar
(Chorus)
Building cages out of our own convictions
We make, justice, imprisonment forever
Prisoner
4. Whatever Comes
(V)
Hey baby, now don't be heavy in' out
You gotta start believing everything's gonna work out
I know these ain't the best of times
They ain't exactly the times we had in mind
When we got together for worse or for better
I'm gonna make you see
(Pre)
You can trust in me to be here
When everybody else is gone
Until my dyin' day
I'll be hangin'
(Chorus)
On and on despite what you're believing
It's gonna be allright I won't be leaving
Hey baby, ain't much else I can say
You gotta stop hurting yourself this way
(Pre)
These are the days that we'll remember
As the days that made us strong
Until the shadows fall
I'll keep hangin'
Chorus
5. Mother Of Darkness
(V)
Mother my soul has been wandering
for ages and ages seeking rest
(while) you have kept me imprisoned
in countless cages of flesh
You kept me reeling in blindness
kept me living in fear and shame
always promising freedom
kept me crawling and calling in pain
(Pre)
Mother please have mercy
Mother let me live
(Chorus)
Mother of darkness
I've been lost in your shadow
Near the point of no return
While you taught me to fear you
You have kept me in chains
Stealing all my dreams
(V2)
Falling under the spell of my captor
I began to believe as true
The dim rays of hope you would show me
as long as I bowed down to you
But when I reached for the daylight
I awakened your scorn and your rage
when I tried to escape you
you awaited me with a new cage
(Pre)
Mother please have mercy
Mother let me live
(Chorus)
Mother of darkness
I've been lost in your shadow
Near the point of no return
You want me to fear you
You wanna keep me in chains
Stealing all my dreams
(Chorus)
Mother of darkness
I've seen through your shadows
No more will I return
I no longer fear you
I am free of your chains
You will steal no more of my dreams
6. Bloodsucker
(V)
You've never been able to see
How your lack of faith was hurting me
The lifesucking bitch that you are
I let you take it way too far
But you've reached the limit
And I've lost my patience
So now you can kiss
My sweet ass goodbye
(Chorus)
Bloodsucker
So close to bleeding me dry
All your attention was focused on how I should die
Bloodsucker
I have a life to defend
Move on to the next of your victims 'coz this is the end
(V2)
You always got to have it your way
I could never stand a chance with you
You promises are no good today
Now there's nothing you can do
You've reached the limit
And I've lost my patience
So go ahead and kiss
My sweet ass goodbye
Chorus
Chorus
7. The Road We Walked On
(V)
Can I forget you now
Walk away from your door
I cried a million times
Ain't gonna cry no more
I never walked away
Leaving you in the pouring rain
Never took you for granted
Never gave you pain
(Pre)
Oh baby, I'm still missing you
I feel the emptiness of a love
That just keep me hangin' on
(Chorus)
I wanna walk the road we walked on
And I wanna hold my head up high again
I'm gonna learn to fill this emptiness
No more wasting time in fear
No more drowning in my tears
(V2)
I know you'll never know
Just how hard I tried
I'm gonna walk away
I'm gonna be allright
Will I ever be the same
I must answer for myself
Take the book of our love
Put it back on the shelf
Pre
Chorus
I feel the emptiness of a love
That just keep me hangin' on
Chorus
8. Dance Into The Fire
(V)
No one laughs here, no one cries here
When you smile they look away
There is no day here, no night
Just a shroud of empty grey
I know that someplace, somewhere
The sun is shining in a sky of love
I'm gonna find it, someway
Like an eagle flying high above
(Pre)
That's where the music plays and never stops, never ends
And when it leds me to the brightest star
I'm gonna walk right in and
(Chorus)
Dance into the fire
(V2)
I look in your eyes, I never met you
Still I see no stranger there
Before you touch me, I can feel you
I can sense the yearning we share
We're always reaching, for someone
Who puts an end to the silence here
And when you're with me, I know
You take my pain, make it disappear
(Pre)
We'll go where the music plays and never stops, never ends
And when it leds us to the brightest star
We're gonna walk right in and
Chorus
9. Gates Of Hell
(V)
I was raised to believe
Everyone would have to fight alone
Now I see I was wrong
Got nothing left that I can call my own
(Pre)
I've lost my hope for resurrection
I danced with the devil, now I must pay
All the chances that I have wasted
Are haunting me everyday
(Chorus)
I'm waiting for, the gates of hell
To open up and swallow me whole
I stand before, the gates of hell
To pay the price I forfeit my soul
(V2)
All the choices I made
I wanted to believe that I was right
In deceiving myself
I was only hiding from the light
(Pre)
I've lost my hope for resurrection
I danced with the devil, now I must pay
All the love that I once tasted
Are haunting me everyday
(Chorus)
I see a light, shining bright
Beckoning me down this lonely road
All my demons, inside my head
Dance in joy knowing I'll soon be dead
10. I Won't Be A Fool No More
(V)
Break my heart again
Leave my dreams in flame
So much damage done or so you're thinking
(That you) Tore my soul apart
Left me in the dark
But baby you're the only ship that's sinking
(Pre)
Got no heart at all
Have you even got a soul
All you gave is emptiness
And I've had all I can hold
(Chorus)
I won't be a fool no more - for your love
(V2)
Girl I curse the times
I was a fool so blind
The times I thought you walked upon the water
Now it's not that hard
To see what you really are
The devil would not claim you for his daughter
Pre
Chorus
