1. Cry Myself To Death
I stand on the edge of time, where nobody knows me
You’ve spoken so many lies, they’re talking about me
I needed love but you didn’t want me hanging ‘round
Leave me alove and save your breath, I’m gonna cry myself to death
These drugs, they don’t work no more, need something to free me
My gun ain’t the right bore, stop talking down to me
I needed love but you didn’t want me hanging ‘round
Leave me alove and save your breath, I’m gonna cry myself to death
You tell me that I am blind, you don’t even know me
You say there’s a good side to life, well why don’t you show me
I needed time, but you couldn’t wait to work it out
Leave me alove and save your breath, I’m gonna cry myself to death
I needed love but you didn’t want me hanging ‘round
Leave me alove and save your breath, I’m gonna cry myself to death
2. Time To Kill
In the kingdom of dead men, in the darkness of night
In the blackness of the mirror, no reflection in sight
I wanna know where did we go
Please believe me, cause I don’t know
Since you left me, I can’t keep still
So much time, time to kill
In the moment of waking I can sense you are near
Life, like smoke disappearing, I confess, it’s not clear
Since you left me, I don’t exist
I blame myself, I let it slip
And I lost the reason, I lost the will
Got so much time, time to kill
So absolute, the shadow black
I want you near, I want you back
Since you left me, I can’t keep still
So much time, time to kill
Now I don’t exist
I blame myself, I let it slip
I lost the reason, I lost the will
Got so much time, time to kill
I got so much time to kill
3. The Cage / If You Believe
Stealing love, living day by day
Stay a while, there’s things I need to say
Oh, I’d die for you, foolish some might say
I see it in your eyes, things just ain’t going our way
What goes around comes around
It’s just another reason to work out
If you believe that it’s over, then I believe we can’t carry on
We can’t keep a bad thing going on
Some might weep, but I believe, yes I believe, we gotta be strong
What goes around comes around
It’s just another reason to work out
If you believe that it’s over, then I believe that we can’t carry on
If you believe that we can’t love much longer
Then I will understrand, I’m gonna have to let you go
If you believe that it’s over, do you believe we can’t go on
We can’t go on, no
If you believe that it’s over, I’m gonna have to let you go
But I still love you
If you believe that it’s over, then there’s nothing I can do
Nothing I can do
Do you believe that it’s over, I’m gonna have to let you go
If you believe, I don’t wanna let you go
I need a little love
Feel me, touch my soul
Please baby, let it go
4. Relax
From here I stand, I wait for deliverence to you
I’m your and all I bring is love
Our time has come
I know there’ll be no more tears to drown me out
Hear me, hear me, hear me now
Relax, don’t fight, I’ll soothe your troubled mind
In time you’ll see, my love will set you free
Here, right here, right now
Won’t you touch me, baby I need
To drink, your soul to set me free
Relax, don’t fight, I’ll soothe your troubled mind
In time you’ll see, my love will set you free
Relax, don’t fight, I’ll soothe your troubled mind
In time you’ll see, my love will set you free
Relax, don’t fight, I’ll soothe your troubled mind
In time you’ll see, my love will set you free
Relax, don’t fight, I’ll soothe your troubled mind
In time you’ll see, my love will set you free
Relax, don’t fight, I’ll soothe your troubled mind
In time you’ll see, my love will set you free
5. Smoke & Mirrors
Well, my woman ain’t a lady, don’t wear no fancy dress
No rings upon her fingers, don’t power dress for men
There ain’t nothing complicated, I put it to the test
You gotta understand, she’s my best friend
My woman is the best
Some girls, they look real pretty but they tell you lies
Some girls, they wear a thin disguise but I see
Smoke and mirrors, that’s all that I can see
Smoke and mirrors, and no reality
Smoke and mirrors, that’s how they get their kicks
Smoke and mirrors, and dirty tricks
Well, some girls they need the money
And some just need the time
Some they love the muscle men, and some just drink the wine
But me, I need a woman that’s not just good at sex
Understand she’s my best friend, my woman is the best
Some girls, they look real pretty but they tell you lies
Some girls, wear a thin disguise but I see
Smoke and mirrors, that’s all that I can see
Smoke and mirrors, and no reality
Smoke and mirrors, that’s how they get their kicks
Smoke and mirrors, and dirty tricks
Smoke and mirrors, that’s all that I can see
Smoke and mirrors, and no reality
Smoke and mirrors, that’s how they get their kicks
Smoke and mirrors, and dirty tricks
6. Infinity
Who am I to reason why, there’s no point to all the sorrow
Ticking faster, the clock unwinds and the world is near zero
Wish I didn’t have to sleep, too many demons haunting me
Fear of dying slowly creeps, the poison of eternity
If we can’t hold or touch or breathem the very things we need to live
Then sweet spirit comfort me, help me to enter infinity
When it’s time, don’t you cry
Think of me sometimes and I won’t die
Can’t imagine never seeing, never being, close to you
Couldn’t face the thought of darkness
Without your love to help me through
When it’s time, comfort me
As I take up my place in the sea of Infinity
When the man is still and he breathes no more
His soul will shine much brighter than it did before
Midnight children with wings of fire
Wait to guide you, so don’t you cry
When it’s time, don’t you cry
Think of me sometimes and I won’t die
When it’s time, comfort me
As I take up my place in the sea of Infinity
7. Dead Man Dancing
Oh, I wasted so much time, chasing things that ain’t mine
I’ve been watching every single move you do
Won’t you tell me something straight, tell me, things I believe in
Tell me that you know I’m here, you’re looking straight through me
I’m getting tired, I’m slowly dying, I need you
I’m getting tired of even trying, you gotta know
I wanna love you, but I gotta tell you that I’m lonely
You’re the one I need to love, I’m like a dead man dancing
I wanna touch you, please let me hold you cause I’m lonely
You’re the one I need to love, I’m like a dead man dancing
Tell me what you want, is there something I can give you
To make you see that I’m here, I’m waiting for you
Won’t you give a little time, show some kind of sin
Cause I’m about to let you go, you feel so cold to me
I’m getting tired, I’m slowly dying, I need you
I’m getting tired of even trying, you gotta know
I wanna love you, but I gotta tell you that I’m lonely
You’re the one I need to love, I’m like a dead man dancing
I wanna touch you, please let me hold you cause I’m lonely
You’re the one I need to love, I’m like a dead man dancing
I wanna love you, but I gotta tell you that I’m lonely
You’re the one I need to love, I’m like a dead man dancing
I wanna touch you, please let me hold you cause I’m lonely
You’re the one I need to love, I’m like a dead man dancing
8. This Kind Of Love
You can see it in my eyes, I thought you’d realize
That I couldn’t live without you
I couldn’t tell you lies, I’d never criticise
You’re the best and that’s the truth
I never ever want to lose you
You mean so much I gotta tell you
This kind of love could last forever
This kind of love you don’t find ever
It’s only love but you can make it feel like heaven
I love the things you do, don’t matter what you do
I just can’t get enough
It’s driving me insane, got nothing to complain about
I just can’t believe my luck
Cause when we’re out walking and people start talking
I know that they wanna touch you, touch you, touch
This kind of love could last forever
This kind of love you don’t find ever
It’s only love but you can make it feel like heaven
This kind of love could last forever
This kind of love you don’t find ever
It’s only love but you can make it feel like heaven
This kind of love could last forever
This kind of love you don’t find ever
It’s only love but you can make it feel like heaven
I might be wrong but it feels so strong
And I don’t want to look the fool
And I should know but I‘m scared to ask
If you still feel the way I do
This kind of love could last forever
This kind of love you don’t find ever
It’s only love but you can make it feel like heaven
This kind of love could last forever
This kind of love you don’t find ever
It’s only love but you can make it feel like heaven
This kind of love
This kind of love
It’s only love but you can make it feel like heaven
This kind of love
This kind of love
9. Stormbringer (Deep Purple Cover)
Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark clouds gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming your way
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer’s coming
It’s time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer’s coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed
Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer’s coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way
Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer’s coming
It’s time to die
Got to keep running
Stormbringer’s coming
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed
Coming out of nowhere
Drivin' like a-rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark clouds gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause he’s coming your way
He’s coming your way
Yes, he’s coming your way
Got to keep running
Stormbringer’s coming
He’s coming your way
10. Soul Reaching
Another time, another day, it wouldn’t matter
I never said the things I should have said
Now interlaced in revolving dreams
There are nightmares of you
I’ve seen the death of a star, dying spectacularly
In the light of the morning it follows, the eart’s curve into the sea
Another light disappears into the darkness
It leaves no sign, it makes no sound
Something’s missing from my life and I know it’s you
Living on the depths of my mind
I’ve seen the death of a star, dying spectacularly
But it turnes from a dream into reality
Soul searching, know I have to do some
Soul searching, to find the answer
Soul searching, it’s all that I can do, I’m
Soul searching, to find the truth
I’ve seen the death of a star, dying spectacularly
This is my life, you are what’s left of me
Soul searching, know I have to do some
Soul searching, to find the answer
Soul searching, it’s all that I can do, I’m
Soul searching, to find the truth
Soul searching, know I have to do some
Soul searching, to find the answer
Soul searching, it’s all that I can do, I’m
Soul searching, to find the truth
Another time, another day, I would never have turned you away
Does it matter anyway, now you’re gone
