1. No Happy Endings
A lay awake at night afraid to fall asleep
There`s something in my mind that comes back to haunt me
Tearstains on my face
I`ve cried for you, my tension slowly building
There`s nothing to say, I know I cannot change what I`ve done
There`s no happy endings in this life of madness
There`s got to be something better for me
Tormented by my action, you walked out on me
Grabbed the kids, headed toward the door and said
You wouldn`t take anymore of my abuse ... say I`m going insane
One more time I`m to blame
There`s nothing to say, I know I cannot change what I`ve done
There`s no happy endings in this life of madness
There`s got to be something better for me
There`s no use pretending, this life`s tearing me apart
I`ve lost everything I had with you
There`s nothing to say, I know I cannot change what I`ve done
There`s no happy endings in this life of madness
There`s got to be something better for me
Statistics, numbers, numbers, can`t take anymore
Someone tell me what`s it gonna take for her to reopen that door
Tearstains on my face, I`ve cried for you
My tension building slowly
There`s nothing to say, I know I cannot change what I`ve done
There`s no happy endings in this life of madness
There`s got to be something better for me
There`s no use pretending, this life`s tearing me apart
I`ve lost everything I had with you
2. Little Secrets
As we spoke this morning, the fear written upon my face
I feel like a candle standing in the pouring rain
You told me you loved me daddy and that you`d show me how much
But there`s these feelings I can`t understand when you touch
Robbed of my innocence, I`m so lost and confused
Frightened by the thought of you, coming to take me again
Disturbed with my life I`m ready to quit
I wish you could see my pain and misery
Sworn to silence, our little secrets
What has possessed you to do this to me ?
Daddy, I`m hurting can`t you see
You`re a stranger to me, your love I never felt
Sworn to silence, our little secrets
I`m so ashamed of what I see every time I look in the mirror
I can`t believe it ... oh no, believe what you`ve done to me
I`ll never be the same, I`m so tired of all your heartless games
You`ve hurt me, you`ve hurt me, you`ve hurt me
Fifteen years later my heart still bleeds
I`m longing for the day in which I`ll finally have peace
You`re a stranger to me, you`re love I never felt
Sworn to silence, our little secrets
3. Standing Free
Broken windows ... in my mind
Shattered dreams ... surround me
My days were numbered
Thoughts of suicide invade my mind
I couldn`t stand it anymore
I wouldn`t face reality
I`d sit and wonder, thinking of myself
I need someone
Then came the day, you took me by the hand
Hope filled my life, now I`m back to stay
I`m standing on my feet again
Not listening to my thoughts they`ve lied to me
I`m standing on my feet again, I`m standing free
How many times will this nightmare taunt me ?
I can`t believe I almost said goodbye
Now face to face with my own destiny
Is this what I want to be a memory
Or live my life like it was meant to be
I`m standing on my feet again
Not listening to my thoughts they`ve lied to me
I`m standing on my feet again, I`m standing free
I got my back against the wall ...
Nobody can touch me ... no no
My desire to sabotage my existence
Came to an end when I finally realized
So many things in life accomplished
To let it end in a compromise
I`ll choose to live and tell others of satan`s lies
I`m standing on my feet again
Not listening to my thoughts they`ve lied to me
I`m standing on my feet again, I`m standing free
4. Are You Ready
You`ve been sent an invitation, the writing`s on the wall
You know it`s gonna be a party, the biggest of them all
We`re here to rock for you and make the message known
And if you`ve got the guts, we`ll show you the way home
Are you ready ? You've been summoned to this moment
A heavenly decree, it`s not by chance or fate that
You are here to see, you`re looking for an answer
To your life`s regrets, the answer`s clear to see
Are you ready to be set free ?
He died for you and me, take his hand and you will see
That your past and all your cares will fade away
You thought there`d be no happy endings but now you know the truth
There`s nothing left but pride to stop you
The love of god's come through, tonight`s the night for your salvation
You know what you must do, just give your life to christ
And see his power to renew - Are you ready ?
5. Minister by Night
Thank you for your concern for my christian life
Your prayers are deeply needed but let`s put an end to this strife
Yes, I`ve been seen in places that you`d only pass in daylight
But that`s our biggest difference we minister by night
We`re out on the front lines, challenging everyone
Surrounded by fruits of sin that consume your daughter or son
We go in after them, they`re in our sights
But that`s our gift in the darkness we`ll shed the light
I minister by night in a heavenly show
Taking the world to places, places that you would not go
So many other people are lost, they`re people you know
We minister by night in a heavenly show
Taking the world to places, where Jesus had led us go
Yes, I`ve been seen in places that you`d only pass in daylight
But that`s our biggest difference we minister by night
6. Miss Linda
Miss Linda, you`re the lady with the all-seeing eyes
You`re the one with all the answers to my pain and my cries
All alone, torn emotions, I need someone
Won`t you help me please ?
Look in your crystal ball, tell me is there any hope for me ?
See, I`ve been a bad girl, so many things I`ve done that should not be
Stemmed from the problems of my childhood memories
And the secrets that I had to keep
They say that you're the lady with the all-seeing eyes
Do you really have the answer to my pain and my cries
Miss Linda, you`re the lady with the all-seeing eyes
I call your name in a smoke filled bar
They prayed that night and there they gave their lives to christ
Why trust a myth to safe your life ?
I`ll take the strength I have inside and my psychic guide to set me free
They say that you're the lady with the all-seeing eyes
The one with all the answers to my pain and my cries
Miss Linda, you`re the lady with the all-seeing eyes
Give hope to my life
As she slipped into her trance, the first words that I understood :
"You`re daddy`s little girl, what a perfect childhood"
Your vague cliches will never work for me
How could I think that you could set me free ?
You made me think that you were wise
And now I find that it`s all a pack of lies
I think I`ll turn to christianity, it somehow doesn`t seem so bad to me
An hour a week is not a lot to ask to keep me for eternity
They say that you're the lady with the all-seeing eyes
But you didn`t have the answer to my pain and my cries
Miss Linda, you`re a lady who`s as lonely as ... I call his name
7. In the Night
If you feel lonely you can count on me
No, you`re not the only one who feels this way
It`s been a long time since we`ve had anything to say
Tell me now, will it always be this way ?
You`ve got me thinkin` someday, we can be the same, no no
All the things that you do in the night, they make you feel alright
But someone`s watching you, you`re only fooling yourself
Take your book back off the shelf, don`t let it rest
I remeber the good times, feels like yesterday
But following your desire you`ve thrown it all away
Just take a little time, look around, what do you see ?
There`s no one else, who loves you like me
You`ve got me thinkin` someday, we can be the same, no no
All the things that you do in the night, they make you feel alright
But someone`s watching you, you`re only fooling yourself
Take your book back off the shelf, don`t let it rest
In the morning when you pass me by, I sit alone
You turn to look at me but in your shame you turn away
It`s not too late, don`t you hesitate
The things of your past can all be wiped out
Take a little time, look around, what do you see ?
There`s no one else, who loves you like me
I`ll tell you something, lady, it can be the same, no no
All the things that you do in the night, they make you feel alright
But someone`s watching you, you`re only fooling yourself
Take your book back off the shelf, don`t let it rest
8. Warriors
All around the place tonight, if god would let you see
Legions of angelic hosts they fight for you and me
The battle it is spiritual not of flesh and blood
Not mercenaries out for kicks, they do it out of love
They`re warriors, fighting in the night
Warriors, they stand up for what`s right
Cutting through the darkness and fighting for the light
The victory belongs to god, the battle they must fight, warriors
We too are warriors, but of a different kind
Separated by our sins
Once walking on the line, listening to our calling, sent from high above
Now we stand in victory but not by what we`ve done
Now lifting up our brothers on the battle lines
On our knees victorious, we`re fighting side by side
They`re warriors, fighting in the night
Warriors, they stand up for what`s right
Cutting through the darkness and fighting for the light
The victory belongs to god, the battle they must fight, warriors
The bible says where two or more are gathered in his name
He will be there with them, his power to sustain
So will you join the battle and fight with us today
Casting off your apathy and stand your ground again
They`re warriors, fighting in the night
Warriors, they stand up for what`s right
Cutting through the darkness and fighting for the light
The victory belongs to god, the battle they must fight, warriors
9. Wicked Generation
Signs that mark the times are clear to see
Just look around at a world of misery
If you can`t read the writing`s on the wall
Delusions, victory, rejections last call
There`ll be no more excuses, decisions on the line
The cross you wear as a fashion statement is just a waste of time
Your reoccuring sins will lead you to your death
Will you ask for forgiveness with your very last breath
Wicked generation and it keeps on escalating, it`s another
Wicked generation, oh wicked generation
A simple prayer on sunday is such a shallow repent
You keep avoiding his love, your nights are better off spent
But deep inside your light still shines
Reminding you each day that Jesus christ was crucified
For our sins, the price he paid
Your reoccuring sins will lead you to your death
Will you ask for forgiveness with your very last breath
Wicked generation and it keeps on escalating, it`s another
Wicked generation, oh wicked generation
10. War Torn Hero
Till the end has come and I`m still living in these trenches
The battle still rages in my mind, so many will be left behind
To face a world of darkness where they`ll be
No peace of mind, I can see their faces
Visions of the damned, their pleading hearts are crying out
Without a second chance
Will you be killed by satan`s lies
Thinking that you`re smarter ?
For hell no one dies a martyr
Still on and on and we`re pressing even harder
We`ll never stop until the end has come
To spread the word of righteousness that penetrates the darkness
And sets free the hearts of all men
We can only try so hard to keep you from the burn
Time for you to make a choise which god will you prefer ?
Will you be killed by satan`s lies
Thinking that you`re smarter ?
For hell no one dies a martyr
War torn heroes / War torn heroes / War torn heroes
Some say that we`re heroes but that`s a shallow fame
And with the glory comes the shame cause if you`re not there with me
There`ll be no one else to blame, so when I give account
Tell me, will I, will I use your name ?
War torn heroes / War torn heroes / War torn heroes
