1. The Machine
(V)
A thousand years of manipulation
this is your sacrifice
Before you fall back into temptation
you better think t through twice
It's the sound if the mass production
it's a game you just can't win
Keeping you in complete subjection
starting over and over again
It's delusions and dreams
as you become the machine
(CH)
Tryin' to hold back the stranger within
can not escape the machine
Thin is the line between law and desire
can not escape the machine
(V)
This is the final retribution
staring you back in your eyes
A never-ending repetition
you can not identify
Syncopated-automated
movin' down the assembly line
Same mistakes replicated
you trade away your simple life
2. Shades of November
(V)
Is it time for a sacrifice
or just a time for anger?
I see something deep in your eyes
That I can still remember
There's a secret in this cold night
It's not a matter of devotion
You pretend to teach wrong and right
Disguised as pure emotion
We had the key to paradise
What are you hiding from deep inside
You never ever listened to your heart
as far as I remember
All you needed was your white lies
Come and taste a shade of November
(V)
There's a feeling in these dark days
of hatred and rejection
As I sharpen my smile with rage
And cast off my possession
Now I vanish into the crowd
it's time for me to leave the stage
and bring new meaning into my life
it's time for me to turn the page
3. One Last Surrender
(V)
I walked that road, we weren't so far --
your words just brought me to my knees
Deep in our eyes we knew the truth -
we didn't know what love could be
I couldn't be me - you couldn't be you
without your touch I can't go on
The same old song, another day --
our heart's reborn, the past is gone
We'll cross the line together
we're gonna last forever
(CH)
One last surrender - I surrender to your touch
One last surrender
I'll be here - you'll be there in love
(V)
I lost my hope I was so far
you changed my world, you broke these chains
You put my hand on your warm heart
I knew that love was not in vain
And now I know, and now I live --
just can't forget these eyes I've seen
I found it hard to love again
with every kiss you heal my pain
We'll cross the line together, our love will last forever
(CH)
One last surrender - I surrender to your touch
One last surrender
I'll be there , you'll be here in love
(LEAD)
(CH)
One last surrender - I surrender to your touch
One last surrender - I surrender to your love
4. Crime of Passion
(V)
Lost in the city, alone with your ghosts
take all the chances is what you want most
Stirring the ashes awakens desire
turning your spirit to fire
oh no --- I'll take no more of the blame
oh no --- I'll not be a moth in the flame
(CH)
You kept me locked in the same old jail
it was a crime of passion
Your love was harder than a bed of nails
it was a crime of passion
(V)
I saw I was falling right into your game
moment by moment it got more insane
Change can be broken, slaves can be freed
waving goodbye as they leave
More of your madness with each passing day
what makes you think you're the one to be saved?
Your cynical wisdom, you're my hell on earth
I'm leaving you in the dirt
oh no --- I'll take no more of the blame
oh no --- I'll not be a moth in the flame
(CH)
You kept me locked in the same old jail
it was a crime of passion
Your love was harder than a bed of nails
it was a crime of passion
You had me burnin' and I had to escape
that's my solution
You call it love but I call it hate
it was a crime of passion
5. Let the Demon Rock 'n' Roll
(V)Let the Demon Rock n' Roll
(V)
Do you hear the fools?
They claim for something new
to worship with mystification
in these golden cages
I have conceived for you-
ain't no room for consolation
(BR)
I am the one behind the sun
I got plans for everyone
(CH)
Let the demon rock n' roll
there are secrets you cannot know
Let the demon rock n' roll
I bid you welcome to the show
You cry for wounds that cannot mend-
it's the end
(V)
Let me fill your lives
with dreams and hopes today
then I'll steal your time and test your patience
I'll guide your choices
things won't change direction
soon I'll bring the fire back into fashion
(BR)
(CH)
(Lead)
(BR)
(CH)
You cry for wounds that cannot mend,
like it's the end-----
it's just beginning………………
6. A Deep Emotion
(V)
I can't walk away pretending it's alright
oh, I'm not that kind-a man who's love is blind
I know I can't get back the tears that I have cried
I can't go far without you anyway
It's so hard to face the silence
remembering those nights we had together
(CH)
If you need me by your side
we can walk that road again
I will hold you above me
If you need me I'll be there
to love you the best I can
and everything I do is just for you
I would sell my soul to hold
this deep emotion
(V)
I can't sleep at night, there's a picture of your face
that holds me prisoner-a prisoner of this place
Oh, this room, the walls, no moon to hear this song\
now I'm trapped til the end of time
It's so hard to face this darkness
remembering those nights we had together
(CH)
(Bridge)
Like a melody I've never heard
I never felt a love like this before
You filled my soul with just one word
that's why these eyes are crying
I cannot hide
this deep emotion
If you love me call my name…
(CH)
7. Feel Like Burning
8. Mouth of Madness
(V)
Lost in the ocean, beneath the sea
I pull the colors out of space
I'm not a dreamer, believe you me
I say, beware the human race
Memories blur my vision
…vision of life and death
Look into my lunacy prism
(CH)
I am the mouth of madness
With tales of dreams and sadness
I am the mouth of madness
(V)
Through time and space I give no peace
condemned to the inhuman condition
Forever living behind the walls of sleep
hiding in the world's imagination
9. In My Eyes
(V)
I always believed in you - you know that it's true
I always believed what you said to me - you were part of my life
Now everything has disappeared, I keep staring at this empty space
Everything that love could steal is gone - gone away
Remember all the times we had
what's driven you so far away?
(CH)
But in my eyes, ain't no regret
all I want is you here
All that I have is just the memory of how
you took my breath away
(V)
Somewhere on a distant shore, waves of love wash over me
I cry out your name to the wind, with the hope that someday
I will be free
Remember all the times we had--
how did we grow so far apart?
and now all my hopes and my dreams and my soul-
I would trade them away for just one more night with you
10. Edge of Forever
