2. Freakshow
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
It's killing me
distinctively they're calling the
game
they force me down
we're dragged around
all numbers and names
Leave us in confusion
like pigs on the run
chasin' an illusion
we're daughters and sons
who long to be needed
we need to be loved
We wanna live
it's a freakshow out here
we wanna live
it's a freakshow out here
They're tramps and thievers
unfaithfully they're feeding
the flames
beyond their lies
majestic smiles
beneath the remains
Solitary youth
all sisters and bothers
hurt by the truth
have faith in each other
we won't be divided
we'll all stand united
Chorus
Look at your leaders
sow bad blood between us
they promise you heaven
and send you to hell
under the surface
they're all crooks
and muderers
and all of their
might I despise
I can't believen
my eyes
Chorus
3. Dead Or Alive
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
They shout in the streets of
Rangoon
a young revolution in bloom
uprising among the Chinese
for justice and freedom of speach
Stand up in line
speak out your mind
fight for your right to believe
leave your misery
die with dignity
cry for justice when you long for it
want it
Dead or alive
gonna hold your fire high
stand up for your reasons
dead or alive
its a game of do or die
in your fight for freedom
Oppress you with muscle and might
they fear the rebellion in sight
with evil tyrannic regimes
they rule but they can't kill your
dreams
Scream it out loud
they're deaf to the crowd
ignore your demands to be free
free and break your bonds
never bow to no one
cry for justice within you long for it
want it
Chorus
All for the cause is warth the price
another human sacrifice
another spill of blood on the bricks
beyond their minds as cold as ice
beyond their little white washed lies
love don't exist
Chorus
4. Die With Your Dreams
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Once a child of illusions
once a king but you've lost your
drown
where the walls came tumbling down
now you walk in the shadows
down the boulevard of broken
dreams
losing track floating with the
stream
I know the feeling
your feeling like a stranger in a
strange land
Cause you dno't see there's love
can't feel it enough
your heart is your prison
when there's no light to be seen
that when you die with your
dreams
and loose your religion
You're been looking for an answer
you've been searching for the key
to life
you've been crying in the dead of
night
see you drown is the darkness
in the world so freezin' cold
its like a nail bammered through
your soul
Sometimes it seems
that you're been born under a bad
sign
Chorus
Down in the dust
where there's no one to trust
when there's nothing to hold on to
store yourself blind
in the mirrors of time
for the great divine
You can't choose can't break the
chains
there's nothing to lose
and nothing to gain
it's your life your fate has been
sealed
you're alone with your lack of
brief
Chorus
5. Fly Me Out
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
On through history we've come
all the way
through wars and destruction
represent the image of decay
betrayed and corruption
I don't wanna be a part of this
no more
fly me out
Don't believe in kings or
presidents
in legends and heroes
humans caused the death of
innocence
we fall back to zero
I stare into the blind world
and sigh
Fly me out
to find a new tomorrow
fly with me
get on your wings and follow
shout at the sky and pray to
the gods
Sweet mother earth you look hysterical
condition critical
we need the magic of a miracle
it is a hostile
age we're living in
ungodly sin
I can feel the pain that lies behind
your eyes
Chorus
Kneel down all you heathens
disbelievers and await his return
pray for his forgiveness
for we live and never learn
Chorus
6. Live Until It Hurts
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
I wanna taste it
feel it in my bones
gonna reach for the sky
I got wings I can fly on my own
I'll go the distance
you'll never see me crawl
cause I'm over the hill
and I'm in for the thrill of it all
And you know
easy come and easy go
I can feel the fire glow
in my body and soul
Live until it hurts
wanna feel it
fight for all it's worth
take on the world because it's mine
all mine
I ain't gonna sit and waste my time
live until it hurts
spread my wings and
fly like a bird
it's better to burn out than to fade
away
stand up till my dying day
I'm gonna live it up
take it as it comes
have a piece
of the pie
feel like a wild
on the run
I'm gonna walk on
never gonna rest
I'll go for the lot
and you know
I'll stand up to the test
Wanna win gonna put the
wheels in spin
and enjoy the state I'm in
feel the magic
raise some hell
Chorus
I'm running with the devil
I'll be kicking up some dust
push it to the limit
cause my motive is my lust
I'm lit up like a rocket
ready for take off tonight
Nothing's gonna stand
in my way
I'll come on strong and live
for today
cause nobody knows what
tomorrow will show
got a hold on life and I can't
let go
Chorus
7. Spooked
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
You dragged me through your system
your blasphemic religion
denounced me as a public enemy
Disgraced me for the jury
lit an outrageous fury
created all the cloud that cover me
Now you made me
turned me into what I am
you protaned me
as a child of the damned
Chorus
You got me spooked
don't give what you can't take back
really spokked
don't give what you can't take back
You brought me to the slaughter
you drank th eholy water
washed your hands and sanctified yourself
Tortured and crucified me
you mail me to the cross
you burned my eyes and caused me living hell
You deceived me
now you beg me to forgive
you mischieved me
desbelieved my right to live
Chorus
Vicious pictures stuck inside my head
right until you lie dead
right before me
forgive and be forgiven Jesus said
but how do I forget
all that easy
You hurt my mind
you stained my soul
for deeds I haven't done
you killed my pride and blocked my goals
now see what I've become
Solo
I'm comin' out to get ya
my personal vendetta
is gonna free me from your stranghold
I'm back in violent rage
to revenge my crippled soul
unchain my anger let me hate untold
Chorus
8. Twisted
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
People think I'm carzy
in a schizophrenic
state of mind
mother Mary save me
from my darkest hour come
alive
In decline
beyond this tortured mind
I feel intoxicated
desolated
Images of evil
scenes of suffering
inside my head
I'm falling into pieces
I'll close my eyes
Before I bleed to death
In my dreams
it all becomes my world of fiction
contradictions
Twisted that's what I am
ride the road to ruin
I'm losing stand
don't know what I'm doing
it's slippin' through my hands
Oh Lord won't you help me
help now before
it gets too late
I'm burning down the candle
can't you hold on back
the hands of fate
Through my wreatched visions
mental exhibition
blind confusion
disillusions
Chorus
Screamin' out to no one's ears
I suffocate inside my fear
I'm out of control
cause when the light are getting
dim
that's when my soul begs me to
sin
Lord take me home
Chorus
9. If It Can't Be Love
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
No cure for the broken hearted
no hope for the lonely one
now baby ever since we parted
I played a game that
can't be won
But I still believe in love
cause I know it does exits
have you ever tried to need
someone
have you ever tried to feel
a love like this
I know I had my misdemeanours
here I am to count the cost
you say there's a world between us
that I'm one that you just can't
trust
me make it up to you
just gimme one more try
cause I'm drowing in this
lonelines
and my spirit slowly dies
If it can't be love
if you won't let me into heaven
again
girl I want you to
stay by my side
what does it take to be forgiven
my friend
where did I go wrong
I gave too little
and expected too much
I wanna die in your arms
I can't get by without the feel of
your touch
One million little love affairs
babe
still the thorn stuck in your side
I promise you I really swear girl
that part of me is a part of my
life
Can I ever break the walls
the fortress around your heart
cause there's no meaning to it all
when love is torn apart
Chorus
And every poisoned word that
has been said the reason to
regret
love is stronger than death
Let's talk it over let the good
times begin let's just get closer
baby
skin on skin till the end
Chorus
10. Never Too Late
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Your fading picture
filling up my senses
you pulled the trigger
shot through my defences
you left me bleeding
lying on a bed of nails
There's something we should
talk about
can't let it slip away
emotionally I'm lost without
your sweet embrace
I want you won't settle for
second best
girl its true there's never been
no one else and never will
How could anything right go so
wrong
how could anything good
turn so bad
girl you're everything I really want
all I have and all I ever had
I need your loving
keep it coming to me
just like the river
that runs into the blue sea
I'm gonna please I'm beggin on
my hands and knees
Cause something deep within has
died my heart is in a mess
the loneliness is hard to hide
without your caress
You're all I need to fill in the pages
in my book of dreams its never
too late for love
never too late for love
Chorus
And through the misty eyes of
memory
do you remember how it used to be
do you recall the good times
baby
The days are dark the nights are
long
if you're not here with me
love leads the way the road goes on
the best is yet to come
Chorus
11. Your Mind Is Where the Money Is
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
Look at yourself
life in extreme
you're a symbol of wealth and luxury
fashionable clothes
champagne on ice
that your definition of paradise
You'd sell your soul for glamour
and trade your heart for gold
you've got eccentric manners
you're in control
on top of the hill
what you don't know
is that you're mentally ill
Cause your mins is where the
money
is and it never changes
you go blind when you feel the bliss
of the ghost that huants your mind
your blind
Valuable friends prestigious might
they'll be gone with the wind
when money's tight
in the eyes of the man on the street
it all seems so absurd
your selfish greed
Material goods mislead us
the rich will tax the poor
we bite the hands that feed us
and ask for more
it's tearing you up
when money talks
you can't get enough
Chorus
Can you feel it when it tears your
soul into pieces
One day the score will be equal
again
and the rich will descend from his
throne
you can't buy your way into heaven
my friend
you see fate has its price
on its own
You've been blinded
you just can't hide it
you can't hide it
Chorus
12. Hard Luck Woman (Kiss cover)
Lyrics & music by: Paul Stanley
If never I met you
I'd never have seen you cry
if not for a first hello
we'd never have
to say goodbye
If never I held you
my feelings would never show
its time I start walking
but there's so much you'll
never know
I keep telling you hard luck woman
you ain't a hard luck woman
Rags the sailor's only daughter
a child of the water
too proud to be a queen
Rags I really love you I can't
forget about you
you'll be a hard luck woman
baby till you find your man
Before I go let me kiss you
and wipe the tears from your eyes
I don't wanna hurt you girl
you know I could never lie
Chorus
don't cry
I'll be packin' my bags
leaving you
Don't cry
I gotta keep on moving
leaving you
13. The One That should Not Be
Lyrics & music by: Atkins/Hammer
My friendly host
I am the ghost that breathes inside
of you
I pull the strings make you do
things
you're not supposed to do
I am disgust in diguise
Unleash the fire
set my spirit free
feel my desire
my atrocity
feel me
within you there's some of me
I'm the one that should not be
In ancient times I lost my wings
and from the sky I fell
condemned my blackened soul
to dwell among the dust of hell
I am the monster of lies
Unleash the fire
set my spirit free
feel my desire
my atrocity
flames rising higher
tell me what you see
feel me within you
there's some of me
I'm the one that should not be
The curse of my name
is the course to your pain
can you feel it
I'm in command
I'm the blood on your hands
I've deceived you
Chorus
