1. Land Of Broken Hearts
See a thousand bodies crackin'n'fallin' back,
Rows of loaded weapon ready to attack.
Sharp pain screams like hell in a victim's eyes.
Wanna say to everyone - promises were lies...
And here we go again, back to back,
Round and round,
And here we go again, back to back,
One shot, buddy, and you're hitting the ground...
Land of broken hearts.
One more shot and another friend's gone.
Land of broken hearts,
Pray to your god, cos' the killing's begun.
See a million faces - can you let it go?
Try to stop this bloody rain paintin' on the snow.
Blood, death - all around - livin' on the edge,
Look smashed flesh -
And bones prayin' for revenge.
2. Kingdom Dark
Run, you better run as far as you can,
Why - I'm gonna die and nobody cares.
Stop wastin' my time, I'm gonna fly high,
You'll find out, the way to survive -
Follow the light tonight!
Watch your steps, it's Kingdom Dark,
There is fear behind your back.
Help me out or let me in,
Watch me die for someone's sin.
Out, somebody shouts, but who - I can't see,
Age, blesses to the rage, callin' for me...
3. Martial Arts
4. Age Gone Wild (acoustic version)
All I need is to turn the page,
I can see a man - he's twice my age.
Proud face, a lot of scars,
I can see a shadow of the bars...
Hold on - can you feel the sorrow,
Hold on - he won't see tomorrow...
Yes, he was proud as hell to the end of the line,
So he's got a story to tell of the age gone wild.
The magic and the spell, an eye for an eye,
Now, he's got a story to tell of the age gone wild...
Just a kid but he was told,
He will be the one to rule the world.
Such a shame - with speed of light,
He become a beggar over over night.
5. Intro/Wasted Time
You're out huntin' if I'm the prize - so roll the ball!
I'm like a mad dog, keep fightin' - back against the wall!
Come on I'll show you the world you never seen,
Come on I'll teach you - good fight is when you win!
(So listen up)
Wasted time, like a poison in my wine, I call it...
The perfect crime - like a bullet in the back it search you.
Time is running out it hurts you,
Goin' down because of wasted time...
I'll keep on tryin' - NO ONE ALLOWED - I'm out too late.
See losers cryin' - the sort thing I use to hate...
6. Clown In The Mirror
Our circus closed, and the midnight ghost,
Comin' out as light's gone down.
Old and tired clown, no one is around,
Staring at the mirror - now listen...
Oh, show must go one,
Lived in the crowd, dyin' all alone...
Clown in the mirror - glitter and scars.
Here's the pleasure and pain looks as one...
Clown in the mirror - touchin' the stars,
Flyin' in dreams to the sun...
What a mask can say?
Cry the night away!
Askin' mirror - "tell me how long?"...
Wrigglin' all those years, through the laugher'n'tears,
Don't believe in hearts of stone...
Oh, show must go on,
Lived in the crowd, dyin' all alone...
Clown in the mirror, glitter and scars.
Here's pleasure and pain looks as one...
Clown in the mirror touchin' the stars,
Flyin' in dreams to the sun...
But the sun will rise, evil took the prize,
Something will remind you...
Sign of disgrace - this paint on your face...
7. Epilogue
Sailin' away - alone in the ships of time,
Wanderin' bout the past - stayin' lost in line.
Never ending story of both night and day,
Everything's been lost along the way...
Over the years all the friends I've had,
Rushed to settle down before they died.
In the darkest hour - screams into the night,
Everyone's who never seen the light.
Someone's lost and someone's found,
Someone's movin' 'round and 'round.
Someone's pushin' all the way and hit's the ground.
Someone's came and someone's gone,
Someone's livin' on the run.
Someone's made it, someone's not,
To see the dawn...
Minute by minute, hour by hour's gone,
Left me alone, kept twistin' me 'round and 'round.
Every single piece of me will cry for help,
Do I have to take that final step?
Someone's lost and someone's found,
Someone's movin' 'round and 'round.
Someone's pushin' all the way and hit's the ground.
Someone's came and someone's gone,
Someone's livin' on the run.
Someone's made it, someone's not,
To see the dawn...
8. Last Goodbye
Crime is done, I'm alone in the night.
There's no one to save, and there's no one to fight,
Now you're gone and I'm just looking around,
Chasin' shadows and traces in the sky, on the ground.
I pay for the miracle,
Father, don't take him away.
Rise up for a miracle,
Save him or don't let me stay...
Such a shame now you're out of my reach,
And it hurts, I don't know should I curse, should I preach?
Play the game - put a gun to your head,
Smile - give me a shot - pull the trigger - you're dead...
Goin' down, you're goin' down all the way,
Down the needle park.
Goin' down, you're goin' down like a little child,
Lost in the dark...
Last, last goodbye - you'll take yours and I'll take mine.
Dance around candle like a butterfly,
Can you tell me why?
Last, last goodbye - bitter as the silent cry,
Blowin' out the chance to do a second try,
Just another try...
Day by day, crossin' oceans of pain,
God I wish I could stop this old runaway train.
Far away like a shadow, a ghost,
Now the magic is gone and the spirit is lost...
Goin' down, you're goin' down all the way,
Down the needle park.
Goin' down, you're goin' down like a little child,
Lost in the dark...
Last, last goodbye - you'll take yours and I'll take mine.
Dance around candle like a butterfly,
Can you tell me why?
Last, last goodbye - bitter as the silent cry,
Blowin' out the chance to do a second try,
Just another try...
9. Far Away
In the misty morning after darkest night,
I feel the heat, I do, and I remember,
Promises are broken now you're gone.
Don't turn me down,
I'm lost and I surrender...
Give me just a sign,
Help to cross the line,
We'll back time and starts again.
Far away - I can you're callin',
Far away - callin' up my name.
Far away - and the tears are fallin',
Far away - no one is to blame...
Some feelings won't come easy,
You have to hit them hard.
You've burned the bridge,
And I fell in a sea of sorrow.
Can you hear my prayer,
Just bring back yesterday,
I feel the pain, it makes me hate tomorrow...
Take me for a while,
Just to make me smile.
I wish I'll never ever cry again.
Far away - I can hear you're callin',
Far away - callin' up my name.
Far away - and the tears are fallin',
Far away - no one is to blame...
10. Stay Down
They have promised you the world,
And left you on your own,
Now all your life is built on fear,
Lies and hearts of stone.
And now I realize,
The promises were lies,
I'm walkin' endless miles,
I can't believe my eyes...
Are you fightin' for survive?
It's a lousy way to live.
A wish to make it through the night,
And nothin' else to give,
And now I realize,
The promises were lies,
I'm walkin' endless miles,
I can't believe my eyes...
Stay down low down,
Nobody cares if you're still hangin' around.
Stay down low down,
Who will you run to and who will you pray to,
When you're down on the ground...
Who will help you when you fall,
Who will pull you up?
When you're prayin' for revenge,
Who will make you stop?
Stay down low down,
Nobody cares if you're still hangin' around.
Stay down low down,
Who will you run to and who will you pray to,
When you're down on the ground...
And now I realize,
The promises were lies,
I'm walkin' endless miles,
I can't believe my eyes...
11. Time
Time, how long it's gonna lasts?
I'm livin in the past and runnin' out of time...
I keep runnin' around in circles,
I keep walkin' in the dark,
I keep tryin' to wash away the devil's mark!
I have my reasons to remember,
I have my reasons to forget,
I have my reasons to reject a safety net!
'Cos we'll all fall down on the cold, cold ground,
Don't you turn around - who's crime?
Time - I'm runnin' out of
Time - I've wasted all my
Time - I'm gonna need some
I'm runnin out of time!
I'm gonna finish off confusions,
I'm gonna leave it all for good,
I'm gonna quit on being' left misunderstood!
I'm gettin' rid of my illusions,
I'm gettin' tired of the crowd,
I'm gettin' out, I'm checkin' out,
I'm gettin' out!
'Cos we'll all fall down on the cold, cold ground,
Don't you turn around - who's crime?
Time - I'm runnin' out of
Time - I've wasted all my
Time - I'm gonna need some
I'm runnin' out of time!
12. River Of Pain
I don't believe in tomorrows - you'll never change my point of view,
My fears and sorrows runnin' down my spine, I tell you.
I watch my people dyin', I watch them go - I don't know where...
The skies are crying, washing out their blood into the
The rivers runs away,
Turns red and looks like vein.
The rivers shows the way,
Away from bloody rain.
The Gods of war are callin', I hear their voices in the wind.
The sun is falling - another day is gone, another sin.
I see the star of sadness is touchin' bodies on the ground.
Somebody's madness just took my life and turned it upside down.
The river of pain - we're all betrayed and sold,
The river of pain - my land is dead and cold.
The river of pain - when I close my eyes,
The river of pain - spirit never dies...
My time has come I'm leaving, my mind is tearin' me apart.
I wanna die believing in common sense and wisdom of my heart...
13. Message To God
The one who's watchin' over my shoulder - get a life!
I see your arms are nailed to the cross, but your eyes are so alive.
I never thought you're lying but now it's turned around,
So many hearts are dying - you let them down,
Over and over again...
Can't reach you, can't meet you,
I give you everything I've got.
You hear me, don't leave me,
It's my message to you, God.
Can't see you, can't feel you,
I've lost just everything I've got,
Forget me, you've left me,
It's my message to you, God...
We're busy burnin' witches the way we learned from you.
We're good at killing creatures, so teach us something new, come on!
One of your own creations is kind of hard to understand,
You, freak of nature - just tell me why did you create us man?
Traces on the floor, I can't hear the door closing me.
Right inside my dream, it's a sign from him - let me be.
Sunrise through the dust - future is the past chasin' me.
Shadows on the wall, voices down the halls calling me,
Over and over again...
14. It's Over
