1. Sins of a Father
I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU SO WELL
I THOUGHT I KNEW YOU BUT YOU WERE A LIAR
EMPTY WORDS WITHOUT TRUTH
SOMEONE CAME ALONG, BELIEVED YOU,BLEW WIND
IN YOUR SAILS,SO THERE´S NO JUSTICE AFTER ALL...
CAN´T YOU SEE YOU´RE WRONG!
SINS OF A FATHER!
THIS TIME YOU CAN´T GET OUT OF IT
SINS OF A FATHER!
FEELS LIKE I´M UNDER A SPELL
FEELS LIKE I´M UNDER A SPELL AND I´M FALLING
SHATTERED BY THE THINGS THAT I´VE LEARNED
IT´S TIME TO STAND UP STRAIGHT,REALIZE,REPENT
ALL YOU´VE DONE AND BE FORGIVEN BY YOUR SON
CAN´T YOU SEE YOU´RE WRONG!
2. Scarecrow
I STAND BEFORE YOU,THE ONE YOU SEARCH FOR
CALLED OUT MY NAME WITHIN YOUR DREAM
STANDING BEFORE YOU,I´M THE SAVIOUR,I´M THE KEY
YOU´RE LOCKED INSIDE AND CAN´T GET OUT
I´M HERE TO HELP YOU
THERE IS NOTHING YOU CAN DO
YOU´RE THE VICTIM,YOU´RE THE FOOL
CAUGHT IN A NIGHTMARE
NOWHERE YOU CAN RUN
BUT YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE...
I AM THE SCARECROW
IN YOUR FIELD OF DREAMS
I´M HERE TO PROTECT YOU
YOU´VE GOT TO BELIEVE OR ELSE YOU´LL FALL
DEEPER WITHIN,INSIDE YOURSELF
STAND UP AND FIGHT IT
THERE´S NO TIME FOR SECOND THOUGHTS
AND IF YOU WANT TO BREAK FREE
I´M HERE TO HELP YOU
THERE IS SOMETHING YOU CAN DO
YOU´RE NO VICTIM,YOU´RE NO FOOL
CAUGHT IN A NIGHTMARE
TIME TO MAKE A TURN
AND YOU WILL NEVER BE ALONE...
I AM THE SCARECROW
IN YOUR FIELD OF DREAMS
I´M HERE TO PROTECT YOU
JUST LIKE A SCARECROW
HERE INSIDE YOUR DREAM
AND I WILL PROTECT YOU
3. Arabia
DESERT WIND BLOWING HARD SEEKING SHELTER RY TO HIDE
ON THE RUN,GOT TO MAKE IT,BLINDED BY THE DUST
THAT THAT FILLS MY EYES
ON THE MOVE,WIHOUT WATER,DEFYING THE DEMON STAR
HOW LONG CAN I TAKE IT,HOW FAR CAN I GO...
FEEL SO ALONE NOW AS THE TIME´S GONE BY
I CAN´T BELIEVE YOU´RE GONE
AS I RIDE THROUGH THE STORM
RUNNING FOR MY LIFE I SEE NO END TO IT ALL
THEY TOOK HER LIFE AS THEY STABBED HER THROUGH THE HEART
AND THAT WAS YESTERDAY,NOW I´M ON THE RUN IN ARABIA
THEY STOLE MY SOUL IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT
I´VE GOT TO FIND A WAY,OUT OF THIS NIGHTMARE IN ARABIA
NIGHTS ARE COLD,DAYS ARE WARM OUT HERE IN THIS WASTELAND
RUNNING AROUND ´ROUND IN CIRCLES
LOST IN THE DUNES OF NEVERLAND
I´VE GOT TO DRINK,I NEED WATER OR ELSE I WILL SURELY DIE
HOW LONG CAN I TAKE THIS,HOW FAR CAN I GO...
IN MY DREAMS YOU´RE ALWAYS THERE
I´M HERE ALL ALONE...I SEE YOUR FACE...
4. Play by the Rules
REACH FOR THE SKY,PRAY TO GOD YOU WILL NOT DIE
AND THERE IS NO REASON FOR YOU TO CRY
LISTEN UP,STAY COOL,DON´T TAKE ME FOR A FOOL
´CUZ IF YOU DON´T YOU´LL SOON NO WHY
I´M YOUR DARKEST DREAM COME TRUE
I´LL FULFILL YOUR DESTINY
IF YOU WON´T PLAY BY MY RULES
I´LL TAKE YOUR LIFE IF YOU STAND IN MY WAY
I MOVE IN THE SHADOWS LIKE A SPIDER IN IT´S WEB
LOOKING FOR MY PREY,STRIKE AS THE TIME IS RIGHT
IN THE STREETS AT NIGHT,WELL PROECTED FROM THE LIGHT
I TAKE WHAT I WANT AND I STEAL ANYTHING THAT I LIKE
REACH FOR THE SKY,PRAY TO GOD YOU WILL NOT DIE
LISTEN UP STAY COOL,DON´T TAKE ME FOR A FOOL
´CUZ IF YOU DON´T YOU´LL SOON NO WHY
5. I don't Believe in Love* (Queensrÿche cover)
I awoke on impact
Under surveillance from the camera eye
Searching high and low
The criminal mind found at the scene of the crime
Handcuffed and blind, I didn't do it
She said she loved me
I guess I never knew
But do we ever, ever really know?
She said she'd meet me on the other side
But I knew right then, I'd never find her
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
No more nightmares, I've seen them all
From the day I was born, they've haunted my every move
Every open hand's there to push and shove
No time for love it doesn't matter
She made a difference
I guess she had a way
Of making every night seem bright as day
Now I walk in shadows, never see the light
She must have lied 'cause she never said goodbye
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in lovev I need to forget her face, I see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
No chance for contact
There's no raison d'etre
My only hope is one day I'll forget
The pain of knowing what can never be
With or without love it's all the same to me
I don't believe in love
I never have, I never will
I don't believe in love
I'll just pretend she never was real
I don't believe in love
I need to forget her face, I see it still
I don't believe in love
It's never worth the pain that you feel
6. Judgement Day
OH,HEAR MY WARNING AND LISTEN UP
OPEN YOUR EYES AND BEGIN TO SEE
AN EVIL SPIRIT HAS RISEN
AN ANGEL OF DEATH THAT BRINGS MISERY
HE´S TAKING HOLD OF US ALL
HE´S GONNA MAKE US FALL
SOONER THAN YOU´LL REALIZE
WHO CAN YOU CRITICIZE
JUDGMENT DAY´S CLOSING IN
HAVE YOU CONFESSED ALL YOUR SINS
IN DISGUISE PLAYING HE FOOL
BUT STEP BY STEP HE´S TAKING CONTROL
SOONER THAN YOU´LL REALIZE
WHO CAN YOU CRITICIZE
JUDGMENT DAY´S CLOSIN IN
WHEN DID IT ALL BEGIN
SOONER THAN YOU REALIZE
WHO CAN YOU CRITICIZE
JUDGMENT DAY´S CLOSING IN
HAVE YOU CONFESSED ALL YOUR SINS
7. Haunted
THE NIGHT WAS COLD AND DAMP,A CHILL IN THE AIR
A VISION FROM THE PAST,OR WERE YOU REALLY THERE
THE SHADOWS MADE ME SEE UNCLEAR,HAKE WITH FEAR
I WAS PARALYZED,I FELT HYPNOTIZED BY YOUR STARE...
THE GHOSTLY SOUND OF SILENCE,NOT A SINGLE BREEZE
YOUR FACE APPEARED BEFORE ME,IT MADE ME FREEZE
MY HEART WAS BEATING DOUBLETIME OUT OF LINE
WAS IT JUST A DREAM OR COULD IT BE I WAS LOOSING MY MIND
SOMEONE OUT THERE
THE WINDOW I SAW THROUGH
COULD I BELIEVE IT
THE FACE I SAW WAS YOU
THERE WAS A POINT IN TIME WHEN WE HAD BEEN SO CLOSE
NOW THERE IS NOTHING LEFT,WHAT WE SHARE IS GONE
PLEASE LEAVE ME ALONE
IN MY LONELINESS YOU´RE HAUNTING ME
I JUST CAN´T TAKE IT,NOT ANYMORE
I´M IN DEEP DISTRESS,PLEASE SET ME FREE
I JUST CAN´T TAKE IT,OH NO MORE
AS QUICKLY AS YOU APPEARED YOU FADED OUT
YOU LEFT ME TREMBLING COLD,I WANTED TO SHOUT
LOVED YOU ONCE,I CAN´T DO IT AGAIN,I´M GOING INSANE
IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME MAYBE YOU STILL COULD BE MINE
8. Just in Time to be Late
9. Lion's Share*
Out in the cold too proud to fall
You've taken a blow but you're still
Standing tall
You took your best shot
But your luck has turned
You gave everything you had
And now you're ships are burned
Aimung high!
And always believing
You take the lion's share
Do or die!
You go for that feeling
It will take you there
You roll the dice
You gamled high
You've lost everything
There's a second chance
And there's no reason to cry
The deed is done
You gave everything you had
And now your luck will turn
Aiming high!
And always believing
You take the lion's share
Do or die!
You go for that feeling
It will take you there
You took your best shot
But your luck has turned
You gave all you had
And now your ships are burned

SURROUNDED BY SILENCE,PICTURES WITHIN MY MIND
STANDING ON THE LINE,STANDING ON THE BORDERLINE
TO INSANITY...
I HEAR THE SOUND OF MY HEART
DROWNING ALL MY THOUGHTS AND I CAN´T SEE
THINGS CLEAR ANYMORE
I HEAR THE SOUND OF MY HEART
CLOUDING MY MIND
SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS,OUT OF CONTROL
TELL ME WHAT´S GONE WRONG
SEARCHING FOR A SIGN,´CUZ I´M LOOSING CONTROL
FEEL I´M LETTING GO
LOST IN A TIME AND PLACE,CAN´T SEEM TO COMPREHEND
WHERE CAN I FIND,WHERE CAN I FIND THE ANSWERS
FOR THE QUESTIONS I HAVE
I HEAR THE SOUND OF MY HEART
WORLD IS SPINNING AROUND AND
I FEEL SO ALONE
I HEAR THE SOUND OF MY HEART
STANDING AT THE CROSSROADS
DON´T YOU KNOW I´M...
