1. Until We Touch the Burning Sun
I'm watching through the frozen window
Through the reflection of my face
There's a cold world out there
And I'm here, safe, and deceitfully fine
This is my world
I hang on my hope of rock to be alone
Only here, in sleep
There, a sea of things that really matter to me
When I open the door I look upon the haze
I can see a million miles and the way they can’t still not be
Walking through the misery
Surrounded by the things that I don’t want to see
I can feel the hopeless faith and it's driving me insane
And today I make a promise, just to break it by tomorrow
Chorus:
We will never love
We will never tell a rise to a world
Where the pain is reality
We will never say
We'll never be lame
Until we touch the burning sun
I feel the breeze
A breeze that makes me realize that I am not alone
I'm here in home and safe again
Behind the doors, locked inside, never want to leave again
I can feel the hopeless faith, and it's driving me insane
And today I make a promise, just to break it by tomorrow
Chorus:
We will never love
We will never tell, a rise to a world
Where the pain is reality
We will never say
We'll never be lame
Until we touch the burning sun
2. Break the Emotion
They say it´s all gone,
it´s just the beginning
They say it´s a dawn,
well it´s just another morning
Run through the hours, the days, and the endless years
Run for the shelter and hide
Reborn and become, strong and undone
They say there are so many ways you can live your life
But they will never learn, there are gazing eyes, they critisize
The way you have chosen, the things you have always done
Sometimes aren´t righteous, sometims aren´t clear
Just keep going on, without fear
Break the emotion - Run into the eye of the storm
Break the emotion - And you can feel the hellfire
Break the emotion - Desire for vengeance is rising
Break the emotion - You´re dancing on the wire
Your fall is higher...
If you break your emotion
They say you´re wrong and they´re right,
but it´s only illusion
They say five up without fight,
it´s their institution
3. Mirror Never Lies
It´s the darkest veil,
pulled over my head
No one can see me,
deep inside, who I am
Beneath the skin the answer lies
Innocence will be sacrificed
And the truth will be revealed
It´s all said and done, thousands of times
My journey through the ages, had taken it´s toll
The face of truth, scars that´ll never fad away
It´s all said and done,
thousands of times
And when I´m dad and gone
The memory´s left behind
Mirror never tells a lie
The truth is always there
You can see it right before your eyes
It´s the one you´ll have to bare
It´s like the darkest veil,
pulled over my head
No one can see me,
deep inside, who I am
4. Tin Star Man
Land of the free
Home of the brave
A history of heroes
In my name
One truth under god
I feel I am stranded
In a world covered in dark
A shield against evil
I light the spark
I can feel it in my blood
I carry on my sacred ride
Across the seas and the great divide
I will save you, even if you don´t want me to
My electric eye will always find you
I´m the one, me, myself and I
Feel the thunder when I light up the sky
No one can stop me now
It´s already begun
I´m the Tin Star Man
It´s a thin line between good and bad
But knowing I´m right keeps me on the track
Righteous and clean
I have the power, I have the force
To bring down my foes and to lead my cause
The light shines on me
5. Spire
Lying on the floor, I feel nothing
Trying to remember
Everything´s a haze, yesterday is gone
Feels like I´vee been hypnotized
Will this be the last time?
I wonder will I ever learn?
Still searching for the rhyme
Maybe now it´s time for me to turn
I rise, I fall
I always stand before I crawl
I smile, I rule
But who am I really trying to fool?
I´m on the spire
Reaching up to the sky high above
I´m on the spire
And it´s on fire, I´m going down below
Another day, another year
And the wheel keeps on spinning
Another joy, another fear
I believe some day I´ll be winning
Every time I swear this will be the last time
Every time I crash to the ground
Every time I´m standing on the spire
I fall but come around
6. Sea of Sorrow
You were the ground beneath my feet
Stretching as fas as I could see
But then you were called to sail
And I felt all hope fail
The tide is turning
And I´m left yearning
Watching you sail away
On towards a better day
And now, yes I
Sail on, sail on
On a wind of pain
Sail on, sail on
With no shelter from the rain
Sail on, sail on
With no light to follow
Sail on, sail on
On a Sea of Sorrow
Barren waters all around me
Stretching as fas as I can see
Sailing on with a breath
Looking for the black sails of death
The tide is turning
And I´m left yearning
Watching you sail away
On towards a better day
Still I, yes I...
7. Side by Side
Time has come
Now it´s our turn to start building up our way to the stars
Here and now
Scream and run
For the dreams we have and for the visions that we have fought so long
Years after years
No hesitaton we´re heading forward
There´s nothing that could stop us now
We are here to stay, never fading away
We have a power and will
Dreams to fulfill
And the hunger is growing day by day
Together we´ll ride to the sky, high above
United we will march through the lands
Side by side
We are as one
We breath the same air, we walk the same endless road
We share it all
Joy and sorrow
No limitaions
As long as the grip will hold there is only one way to go
Full speed ahead
We are rolling over
8. Drawn to the Flame
Playing with fire gets you burned
I knew it but still I didn´t take heed
Two is company, three´s a crowd
I knew that too but still I couldn´t let go
It´s burning me, burning me
Like a beggar for money I´m drawn
Between two fires I stand
Filled with a flame both bitter and sweet
It´s burning me, burning me
Like a beggar for money I´m drawn
To the flame
I am the one to blame
Flame
I have been drawn to the flame
I´m burned by the fire
That is you
9. Forth into the Black
10. Evil Within
Can you hear my silent whisper
Can you hear my confession
Can you feel this rising anger
Can you see me I´m burning inside
Evil thoughts running through my soul
I´ll never stop acting my role
I will unleash my endless pain
I will unleash my fire
Come closer and take my hand
Come with me and you will undertand
Evil thoughts running through my soul
I´ll never stop acting my role
There are sinners and saints
There will be always treasures and waste
There will be always two ways to go
At the crossroads we stand lost and alone
This feeling is haunting me
It´s pulling me down
This madness is killing me
It´s tearing my heart out I´m loosing my mind
