1. Breakdown
2. The Black Book
There came a time I’d had all I could take
Life on the edge, my mind about to break
Parents said they’d warned me and my friends said
It’s a shame
Doctor said the stress was playing tricks upon my brain
Doctor he told me I had to get away
Climbed a jet liner, bound for the UK
Resting in the countryside, L.A. far behind
Something deep inside was playing tricks in side my mind
Tricks inside my mind
There in the wall it lay throughout the years
Pages of secrets, the source of all their fears
Hidden reasons, flashing eyes, something isn’t right
What can you do when you’re running out of sight
Hiding from the light
Nightmares waken me at night
Shadows hiding from the night
Solos: Kenny Andrews/Chet Thompson/Kenny Andrews/Chet Thompson
Old parchment pages that crack when opened wide
There in the Black Book the magic came alive
Hidden reasons, flashing eyes, something isn’t right
What can you do when you’re hiding out of sight
Welcoming the night
Shadows waken me at night
See the Black Book come alive
3. Storm Rider
Stormrider, high flyer
Live on the edge and hide in the dark
Black liar, cold fire
Wait ‘till the night to escape what you are
Stormrider, shadowhider
Taunting the senses and tempting the soul
Trap the madness, jail the sadness
The future has come and the past has been told
Don’t you think I’m gonna find a way
To break through all your secrets
I grow strong with power of the fire
Liar
Stormrider
Stormrider
Black Liar
In the morning I’ll be calling
Words through the candles, like music on air
Black Liar, face the fire
Tables have turned, it’s your time to beware
Don’t you think I’m gonna find a way
To break through all your secrets
I grow strong with power of the fire
Liar
Stormrider
Stormrider
Black Liar
Solos: Ray Schenck/Alan Barlam

4. Living in Hell
Look into the future, there ain’t nothing I can see
Everyone is trapped inside a false reality
Only thinking of yourself is leading you nowhere
Do you call that free?
Everyone around is falling down on me
Sick minds always winning at the game
I make my own rules and take the blame
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell
Bills are stacked up two feet high
The landlord’s on the phone
Got no transportation, no place to go
Something’s going wrong
I don’t like all that I’m seeing
Nothing I can do
Everything around is falling down on you
Sick minds always win the game
I make my own rules and take the blame
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell
Living in Hell
Solos: Kenny Andrews/Chet Thompson
This house is smelling rotten
The sink is turning green
The halls are filled with garbage
There ain’t nothing here that’s clean
Only thinking of yourself is leading you nowhere
Do you call that free?
Everyone around is falling down on me
Sick minds always win the game
I make my own rules and take the blame
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell
5. The Discovery
6. Losing Control
There’s a place in your mind
Where the absence of logic makes reason
Can you see by the look in my eyes
That there’s something not right
What can you do when the absence of logic means dager
Nobody knows where I go in the heat of the night
Going around in a circle will only lead nowhere
Around in a spiral, around and you’re just going down, no, no
Logic: Gone
Reason: Gone
Have I lost my mind?
Anger: Gone
Passion: Gone
Search but you won’t find
The moon it was high in the sky and the house it was empty
Alone in my room I escaped with a bottle of wine
Raising my glass to the stars while the music was playing
Dance in a spiral and wait for the coming of time
Going around in a circle will only lead nowhere
Around in a spiral, around and you’re just going down, no, no
We are losing control
We are losing control
We are losing control
We are losing control
Down, down, down, down
Will you tie me down?
No, no, no, no
Don’t you even try
Victim of society and acting out the role
No, no, no, no, no
Solo: Ray Schenck
We are losing control
We are losing control
We are losing control
We are losing control
7. Arrest... Jail... Bail
8. Dæmon Attack
What can you do when the reasons
All seem to point in your face
The others lay sleeping and quiet
Unaware of the plans I had made
Sometimes you just can’t remember
What happened the evening before
You turn to an absolute stranger
You know that you’ve known him before
Can you see it clear?
Hiding, standing near
Attack
One morning at dawn I awakened
The doctor he stood by the door
The hospital’s where I was taken
‘Till I could stand it no more
Can you see it clear?
Hiding, standing near
Attack
Attack
Can you feel it?
He’s there, waiting just to take you down
You’d best believe it
He’s there, waiting just to spin you around
Solo: Alan Barlam
What can you do when the reasons
All seem to point in your face
The others lay sleeping and quiet
Unaware of the plans I had made
Sometime I just can’t remember
What happened the evening before
You turn to an absolute stranger
You know that you’ve seen him before
Can you see it clear?
Hiding, standing near
Attack
Attack
9. Conspiracy
10. Amnesia
Hell, it is where I live
Life, it is what you give and take
Your mind started to unwind
All that you left behind forgotten after all the pain
Drive you insane, oh forever
Amnesia
Here, I am locked away
Shock taking all my dreams away
My mind’s started to unwind
All that you left behind forgotten after all the pain
Drive you insane, oh forever
Amnesia
Hell, it is where I live
Life, it is what you give and take
Your mind started to unwind
All that you left behind forgotten after all the pain
Drive you insane, oh forever
Amnesia
Amnesia
11. The Warning
Running faster than I can
Pieces fit together I can understand
All predictions, time has come
Hiding ‘cuz I know that I’m the chosen one
Can you see it clear
Time is coming near
Hear the warning
The time has come, don’t you know
Hear the warning
The time has come, don’t you know
In the castle I did break
As I crept into the room he hid in wait
Something grows inside my mind
Feeling all the power of an ancient time
Can you feel it clear
There’s no need to fear
Hear the warning
The time has come, don’t you know
Hear the warning
The time has come, don’t you know
You’d better listen to the warning
You’d better hear the words I say
If you know what’s good for you
You’d better go, go, go
Hear the warning
The time has come, don’t you know
Hear the warning
The time has come, don’t you know
Hear the warning
You’ve got to go
12. The Room Behind the Door
Michael!!
My, my, what have you done with your hair? Looking for the Black Book, eh? You remember, don't you?
D'you think I could forget?
You're nothing but a worthless whore, just a useless bloody worthless whore!
13. The Atonement
I can see it coming clear
Trapped inside four walls as strong as steel
Bound and tied, locked inside
No-one knows the power I can feel
Looking for a cause without a reason
Tragedy is just another word
Looking for a cause without a reason
Tragedy is just a word
Save your tears for the living
They cry out loud
Save your tears for the living
They feel pain
I can see it coming clear
Reasons for a false reality
Trapped inside, no way to hide
From visions that I have come to see
Looking for a cause without a reason
Tragedy is just a word
At the end of the hall there’s an old wooden door
The answer’s laying there for all to see
I was bound and I was tied
‘Cauz I knew what lay insisde
They were waiting for the power to be free
As the words they were said
Felt them real inside my head
They were ancient but they spoke reality
All the visions I could see
Feel it building up in me
Feel the power building
Set the power free
Looking for a cause without a reason
Tragedy is just a word
Looking for a cure without a reason
Tragedy is just....
