1. Pariah
A land suffering ill
By a madman driven to kill
Enemy's cause, to ruin
Hero, enter a man
Summoned as part of a plan
Adjured to fight perdition
(Pre-chorus)
Conjured against his will
To fight a foe he cannot kill
Defending the arch of time
From the despiser's insane crime
With the white gold
in his hand
He could damn or save the land
(Chorus)
Pariah, compelled to be true
Freedom's his salvation from rue
Messaih, unwilling to fight
Land's last hope to redeem the light
The lords, leading the fight
Against the despisers might
Lacking the strength for resistance
Ur-lord, possessing the ring
Wild magic could lessen the sting
Countering foul's persistence
(Pre-chorus)
(Chorus)
Lead
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
2. Standing Alone
I can feel your presence
All I feel is empty inside
It makes me wonder about the sins I hide
Shattered scenes of a vision that held you in my mind
Slips through my fingers
like the sands at the end of time
(Chorus)
Time never waits
Don't say it's the end
God please don't forsake me
My heart's ike a stone
I stand all alone
Lord will she forgive me
My thoughts are confusing
why I'd leave you I don't know
I crawl on my hands and knees
for the blood that cleaned my soul
but does she remember
All the times that we tried
Or is her heart like a stone
God help me I can't live alone
(Chorus)
(Repeat 1st verse)
(Chorus)
3. Nightfall
Searching for some reason
Not knowing why indecisions
Decisive blows unto man
Caught in the middle of this wretched plan
As fools gather ten thousand feet below
as they watch in amazement as the world explodes
Their lives pass before their blinded eyes
A flash of light marks the end of time
(Chorus)
Nightfall - what is done has past
Nightfall - it's the end of man
Nightfall - this hell's our home
Nightfall - Satan stands alone
Millions die while some remain
Their lives go on but forever changed
Nothing can, relive the past
What has come will forever last
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
It can never change
Nothing will remain
With their lives blown away
What has come will forever last
(Repeat 1st verse)
(Chorus)
4. In For The Kill
Ride on the wings of a prayer and a dream
You enter into the realm of insanity
Shipped into battle to fight a war that was never won
Your mission to make life free for democracy
(Chorus)
In for the kill, this insanity is real
In for the kill, thy commandments shall I yield
I see the lives of my friends long gone
I hear a voice of an angel saying carry on
It's O.K. to fight for a cause that's just
Reality brings a soul to what it cost
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
5. Our Love Was Yesterday
Did you ever know what the game of love could be
all the pain all the pleasure it stored up for me
Why I'm comin back you'll never know
there's never a question just the same old lie
I know it's been said before it's the same old cliché
but without a doubt you're the light of my day
(Chorus)
Our love was yesterday
all the tears and all the pain
can't you see our love was yesterday
now it's time to go our separate ways
I can't believe the hold that you got on me
can't break don't take it just let it be
If miles and miles a division may cause
it doesn't matter no boundaries or laws
(Chorus)
Well baby someday you'll turn the key
You say you're sorry but the road is carrying me
just another day some say a memory
but I'll keep you in my heart for all eternity
6. Go To Hell From School
7. Scarred (live)
8. No More (live)
Never had a look in my eyes as she told me she cared
Said my mind, she used me before and I believed her again
I knew again. I say why bother, I didn't hear a word
You were a fool you took from me, so easy to slip away
I think it's time to change my ways and tell her no more
Set aside, pack my feelings, and send her on her way
It's time to let her know what she really cares
(Chorus)
Not going to feel this way again
Not going to play this game anymore
Look at me with your fooling eyes, she told me she cared
same old lines she's always used and I believed her again
When you were trying to say goodbye, but I didn't hear a word
You were a fool you took from me so easy to slip away
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
9. Mind Over Matter (live)
Never seem's a day goes by
I don't hear people say I will if I can
I would if I could but I don't have time today
Well it's been said time and time again
Where there's a will there's a way
Take control it's in your soul
Don't let your mind run astray
(Chorus)
I can if I will
Hot I will if I can
The man in the mirror
As changes begin
It's not what I do
But who I am
Don't let chances pass you by don't say no until you try
Keep on pushing this is why
Don't give in til the day you die
You have no limit there is no end
Create your own future just around the bend
(Chorus)
(Bridge)
Within your mind there is a place
Where body and soul become one
As the ice begins to break
(Chorus)
10. Never Lettin' Go (live)
Sitting here alone and I'm wondering what the next move is gonna be
No questions no answers who said life would be at ease
Same thing everyday it doesn't seem to get anywhere
Won't someone find me the answer but no one seems to care
Yea this world's getting colder day by day
(Chorus)
Never lettin go. Never lettin go
Some people always stay the same
Never lettin go, never lettin go
But baby why don't you change
Never lettin go, never lettin go
Life seems so strange
Life's so routine it's all just 9 to 5
Killing myself to live oh it's the only way to survive
Don't give up your dreams because life could end by tomorrow
See what the future brings or you'll lie in a life of disaster
I'm gonna show the world I mean what I say
(Chorus)
Listen to my words oh cause this could be you
Show the unbelievers that we get what we need
Don't give up your dreams because life could end by tomorrow
See what the future brings or you'll lie in a life of disaster
I'm gonna rock til the day I die
(Chorus)
11. Time To Live, Time To Die (live)
Started through life never needed noone
living free and wild on the run
friends are leaving even some dead
living the fast life got a gun to my head
Just about time may be hit the road
carry the reaper's burden life's heavy load
the questions you ask in life he never gives
he's coming for you
(Chorus)
time to live, time to die
soulless bodies no tears to cry
soldier of fortune your time is up
time to live, prepare to die
It's so confusing feels like a dream won't somebody listen hear my spirit scream
too far in debt hardly see the light deeper and deeper into the evil night
cards are turning your number is up all of life's questions about to erupt
the questions you ask he never gives he's coming for you
(Chorus)
Asking the question that life never gives changing new light just begun to live
over the night skys don't have a clue new worlds beyond someone's greater than you
old world ending only one knows taking my hand to where the west wind blows
I can see come fulfill my dreams I'm here to stay
(Chorus)
12. Stalemate (live)
Mankind a victim of passion constructing toys that destroy
The nations of the nuclear circle
Assure themselves that war is no play
Atomics the tools of ultimate justice
Guarantees no survivors, no one left to blame
The leaders will be safe in their bunkers
Restoring a world consumed by flames
(Chorus)
Doesn't matter who fights first
Makes no difference who's hit the worst
No one cares how bitter is the hate
The end will be a stalemate
Terror the balance that allowed us to live
Granted of life in uncertain peace
The scales once equal now sway unsteady
From acquisitions of the nuclear lease
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
(Repeat 1st verse)
(Chorus)
13. I Bring You Lies (live)
Grey skies a storm builds inside
A burning in your mind
Scheming things a touch of evil
A cause you'll never find
(Prechorus)
So don't try to fight,
for it's me I bring you lies
(Chorus)
Playing these games either win or lose
Shadows of evil given lies for truth
Helpless fear whispering in my head
Upon deaf ears was something said?
A masterplan to make you fall
Unseen eyes that yearn and call
Icy feelings I can't explain
Deja vu escape the pain
It's painless death
A strange voice whispered things I feares, taking all control
Burning bridges tearing down the walls, of the good I'll rape their souls
(Prechorus)
(Chorus)
So now I stand with the brave, enemy or slave
I think I'll take what's mine, the road to doom I've paved
(Prechorus)
(Chorus)
14. Right Side Of The Track (live)
Will it make you mad when all the dreams you had
Seem to all go down in flames
I remember the nights when you layed and moaned
When your gut was on fire and your mind had been blown
(Prechorus)
Yeah, it makes me sick to have to see you there
With blood so thick in your eyes and hands pulling air
When your life seems so precious and you throw it all away
Starving in some mainline you know the price you pay
(Chorus)
Right side of the track
Never going back
To the wrong side of the track
There's no way back
To the right side of the track
Right side of the track
Never going back
To the wrong side of the track
All the pain inside, you must control
The power is the energy to strengthen your soul
When you find your life is gone and no place is home
There's help inside cause you're not alone
I remember you...
(Lead)
(Chorus)
(Repeat 1st verse)
(Prechorus)
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
