1. Break Your Chains
I’m raising sails to leave my father’s land
No longer waiting for the tide
It took a while to try and understand
How do I want to live my life
You live it or lie it
Anyway you want
I’ll cross the ocean to another side
To see the world you’ve never seen
I’m walking straight into the glowing light
Feeling as twice the man I’ve ever been
You live it or lie it
No reason to deny it
Stop dreaming, start living
All you have to do is break your chains
Break your chains
Break your chains
Break your chains
Break your chains
Uncounted wonders no one’s seen before
I’ve watched them rise and disappear
It could be you, just open the door
And take that first step to overcome your fear
You live it or lie it
No reason to deny it
Stop dreaming, start living
All you have to do is break your chains
Break your chains
Break your chains
Break your chains
Break your chains
2. Not My Kind
Time is running out, you’re left behind
Can’t you see, you’re not my kind?
Somebody’s gain’s built on somebody’s loss
Friendship of ours was a beautiful ghost
Better run home, put up a hell of a race
Get yourself a pretty, brand new face
You’re not my kind
No you’re not my kind
Not my kind
Tell me your dream and I’ll tell you your soul
Higher we climb? Even harder we fall
Son of a bitch keeps on hanging around
Stay away or I’ll rip your heart out
Hustling left and right, so this is your kind?
Time is running out, just let it go
Search your heart and you will find
Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow
Can’t you see, you’re not my kind?
Not my kind
Not my kind
Year after year, all those battles we’ve fought
Hard to believe, but you’ve got yourself caught
Nowhere to hide, now you’re under attack
Nice little load and it broke your back
Scream into the night, so this is your kind?
Time is running out, just let it go
Search your heart and you will find
Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow
Can’t you see, you’re not my kind?
Time is running out, just let it go
Search your heart and you will find
Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow
Can’t you see, you’re not my kind?
Time is running out, just let it go
Search your heart and you will find
Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow
Can’t you see, you’re not my kind?
Time is running out, just let it go
Search your heart and you will find
Seeds of hate and envy, left to grow
Can’t you see, you’re not my kind?
Not my kind
Not my kind
Not my kind
3. Memory Lane (instrumental)
4. Never Give Up
It’s over now, I feel my sadness fade away
I wonder how we could survive and make it through another day
I’d say chances are few, but they are out there
Start something new, right now and right here
Look, I’m telling you
We’ll never give up, we’ll never give in
Wherever this road’s gonna lead us
We’ll never give up, we’re playing to win
And heading right up to the top
We’ll never give up, we’ll never retreat
Whatever out there’s gonna hit us
We’ll never give up, we’ll land on our feet
We’ll make it come right in the end
We’ll never give up
Seconds fly as is they’re bullets
Could it be worth a try to cut them loose
And let some peace come down on me
I see chances are few but they are out there
Waiting for you to decide
To start something new, right now and right here
To change your life tonight
We’ll never give up, we’ll never give in
Wherever this road’s gonna lead us
We’ll never give up, we’re playing to win
And heading right up to the top
We’ll never give up, we’ll never retreat
Whatever out there’s gonna hit us
We’ll never give up, we’ll land on our feet
We’ll make it come right in the end
We’ll never give up
We will never give up, we’ll never give in
Wherever this road’s gonna lead us
We’ll never give up, we’re playing to win
And heading right up to the top
We’ll never give up, we’ll never retreat
Whatever out there’s gonna hit us
We’ll never give up, we’ll land on our feet
We’ll make it come right in the end
We’ll never give up
We’ll never give up
Never, no
5. Seven Days
Seven days
Seven days to build this “perfect” world
So beautifully unfolded, fat baby on your lap
Seven signs before you’d lose your cool
Obnoxious, pompous fool?
I’d say you’re full of crap
So you’re still selling the Paradise scam?
While keeping a hell of a poker face
Well, nothing’s really changing at all, so I’ll be damned, boy
Thank you for those seven priceless days
Seven
Please, don’t be a stranger, look inside my life
Full of it? As you are, with a touch of pride
Cut me open, rip me up inside
What’s the matter? Busy? Blinded by the light?
Zooming in on the shores of Paradise
Those billboards full of lies
Unchaining gates of Hell
Tears of joy on salesman’s pretty face
He’s screwing us with grace
I hope I’ll live to tell
I hope, live to tell
Hell or heaven, the same merry-go-round
Pieces of one puzzle, cut ‘n’ paste
Tell me, is it really the best way which you’ve found
While sitting on that holy ground
Wear that shiny, golden crown
For seven unforgettable days
Seven days
Seven deadly sins, those remarkable days
Seven days
Seven days
Seven days
6. SK 983 (instrumental)
7. Kiss Of Faith
Only dead have seen the end of war
Knowing that, I feel a bit better
When do I remember what’s happened before
Oh well, moving on to the heart of the matter
Father always told me ‘bout men and mice
Being not afraid to take chances
Well, he said enough ‘coz by the time he got iced
I was on my way, circumstanced
Let me out into the open
Boy, reality bites
Doesn’t matter what you do, another crook gets rich
Doesn’t mean a thing what’s your calling
Living by your heart and whining “life is such a bitch”
Anyway you go, you’re falling
To the bottom of the food chain
Let me show you the way
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
I can change the whole world, feeling stronger
From the dead of night to the morning light
Getting ready to challenge my faith
When you’re feeling weak and your life seems tough
You can’t wait for a break any longer
Who can stone you cold, who can whip you down
If you’ll steal a little kiss from your faith
Do I live as I live or I do as I do?
Don’t you forget who told you
When life has no value, death has it’s price
Just something I saw in my father’s eyes
When the moon comes up and the sun goes down
I can change the whole world, feeling stronger
From the dead of night to the morning light
Getting ready to challenge my faith
When you’re feeling weak and your life seems tough
You can’t wait for a break any longer
Who can stone you cold, who can whip you down
If you’ll steal a little kiss from your faith
Moon comes up, sun goes down
From the dead of night to the morning light
When you’re feeling weak and your life seems tough
Who can stone you cold, who can whip you down
If you’ll steal a little kiss from your faith
8. Paper Blood
In our shop, as you can see
You’d be a man, you wanna be
Unhappy with the way it goes?
You’d buy another life
And our prices… who can beat?
Here’s royal flesh and common meat
You name it, my associate is sharpening her knife
Please take a peek inside,
Tell me how it feels like
You’re spilling
Paper blood in the blaze of glory,
Paper blood, on the holy ground
Paper blood, never ending story
Paper blood makes the world go round and round
We’ve got it covered to the tee
Another wife? Just take a brief
Lok at this fine selection of those bitches from the East
We’re selling friend, we’re selling cars
A recent show with superstars
A child, a war, a heart, a soul
It’s all to make you pleased….right!
Nothing is too strange
When we are in this price range
You burning paper blood in the blaze of glory
Paper blood on the holy ground
Paper blood, never ending story
Paper blood can buy a tiny crown
For this sad and weary clown
So he can smile and take a look around
Across his kingdom, false as it could be
And what’s wrong with that?
Where tears of joy are impossible to see
What do we need them for?
Where heartfelt laughter’s not what you will hear
And so what?
Enough of that, ‘coz it’s my biggest fear
You’re burning
Paper blood in the blaze of glory,
Paper blood, on the holy ground
Paper blood, never ending story
Paper blood makes the world go round and round
Round and round
Round and round
9. Season’s Change
Images of winter gently move, fallen, golden leaves
Sun is hiding far beyond the roof, knowing what it means
Days are getting shorter, I can see chilling tears of fall
Running down for you and leaving me out here in the cold
Since you left whatever I would do, nothing comes out right
I’m fighting through another lonely day, another sleepless night
Dreaming ‘bout wings to fly away, but as I was told
Broken-hearted can’t, they’re cursed to stay out here in the cold
This change of a season is over and done
Won’t look for a reason, just sad that you’re gone
Every single word you’ve ever said is ringing in my ears
Making me remember what I had, this burning trail of tears
Leading me away, into the night, closer to my fall
Season’s changing, turning of the light out here in the cold
This change of a season is over and done
Won’t look for a reason, just sad that you’re gone
Disappearing very slow, this line of footsteps in the snow
Spirit of my better days, living on the edge
Be it so and let it be, ‘coz as far as I can see
No way to escape this seasons change
This change of a season is over and done
Won’t look for a reason, just sad that you’re gone
Out here in the cold, it’s over and done
Won’t look for a reason, just sad that you’re gone
This change of a season is over and done
