1. Million Miles
For so long so long battle fires rage
But a monster lies in disguise in the Nevadas grave
History is plain to see but the future's not so clear
Only one mistake is all it takes
There'll be nothing left to fear
Let the fires burn forever now until the end
Mankid crawls upon his knees
For a million miles
Let your children play together
In a world without end
Am I dreaming of a place
A million miles away
The roar of sound in the ground
Holds the world at bay
The planet shakes from atomic weight
In time for judgement day
A flash of light in the night is all that I can see
The sun and earth collide Better run and hide
For all eternity
Let the fires burn forever now until the end
Mankid crawls upon his knees
For a million miles
Let your children play together
In a world without end
Am I dreaming of a place
A million miles away
Hear what I say it's not too late
To conquer a nuclear fate
'Cause at the end of the game
There'll be no one left to blame
There'll be no way out There'll be no way out
There'll be no way out no way to shout
Let the fires rage let your children play
Let the fires rage a million miles away
2. Let Go
Beckon the days
And the years
And faces I've known
Funny but now
It all seems so clear
Will I ever let go
Guilty
With nothing to fear
Men reap what they show
But if I could only
Turn back the years
Would I ever let go
And nobody cares at all
You know
Sometimes it's so hard
To hold back the years
Let my innocence go
When nobody listens
And nobody cares at all
You know
3. My Heart Bleeds
Never mind what the good books say
It don't matter anyway
The kingdom never comes to a madman on the run
Never mind what the good books say
Apostles all betrayed
Giving up their lives for a piece of holy sky
Bow down and pray let come what may
In a world without end remember my friend
There's a voice inside your head
The verses you've been fed
Communion of the mind
Is such a waste of precious time
Bow down and pray let come what may
In a world without end remember my friend
Heard a preacher say
Another world awaits
For those who kindly pay him
A poor man gave and gave
He threw his soul away
But nothing did ever change
My heart bleeds for the madness
My heart grieves for the pain
My heart bleeds for the masses
And congregations swayed
Never mind what the good books say
It don't matter anyway
A thousand years have passed
Since the mold was cast
I guess some things will never change
My heart bleeds for the madness
My heart grieves for the pain
My heart bleeds for the masses
And congregations swayed
Never mind what the good books say
It don't matter anyway
4. Feel My Pain
It's been a thousand years
Shed a million tears
But one thing lasts forever
The scars of love will burn you deep inside
As you step across that flaming deep divide
Climbing up the walls
I've been through it all
And threw it all away yeah
The scars of love burning deep inside
As you step across that flaming deep divide
The man above is watching in the sky
Take a step across that flaming deep divide
A young man prays a friend betrays
It's all the same now its all the same to me
Lie awake lie in state its too late now
To change what's meant to be
Consecrate desecrate seal you fate now
Doesn't matter much to me
Can't you see can't you see
Don't, don't turn away feel my pain
Don't, don't go astray feel my pain
Feel my conscience slip away
As my body levitates
Better hold on tight
'Cause the earth tonight will shake
Burning at the stake
So don't, don't go away feel my pain
And don't, don't go astral feel my pain
And don't, don't walk away
Feel my
Feel my pain
5. Morte Et Dabo
Allelujah eleison
Jesu Christe
Morte et dabo
Allelujah eleison
Jesu Christe
Morte et dabo
Allelujah allelujah
Allelujah eleison
Allelujah eleison
Jesu Christe
Morte et dabo
Dream deep of phantoms and gloom
Watch the night invade every room
A distant tower beckons us all
And fills the air with restless warning
Cold hearted souls reveal the night
Reflecting sorrow in our sight
As death awakens those who dream
Catherdral bells toll for thee
6. Children Of The Flame
Hang on slave far beyond the grave
Gods children say someday we'll meet him again
Faith, guilt, rage turn back the page
The blood of Judas runs all through your veins
Someday we'll meet him again
A million miles away
In a land where the wisemen prayed
For heavens sake oh, watch what you say
'Cause I believe anyway
The world is going insane for now and ever
Hang on slave burn down the gates of armageddon
How long must we wait until we meet him again
A million miles away
Take a vow to your master of fate
On judgement day oh, watch what you say
I don't believe anyway unlock your morals in chains
For now and ever it's for now and ever
He walked into the room
With a gleam in his eye
Fortelling what was to come
He slowly drank from a chalice
And broke the unleavened bread
The congregation stood in awe
As a light from above shone on this man
And as the heavens parted he looked up to say
Beam me up scotty
Hang on slave far beyond the grave
Pain and guilt and rage
Break down the gates
When the heavens start to wake
And the earth begins to shake
Better learn how to repent
It's your only hope my friend
Burning ashes start to rain
On the children of the flame
7. The End
This is the end now no need to pretend
No flowers to send now 'cause this is the end
This is the end now I've seen it all before
Like a prisoner of war who's come to the end
Why didn't you warn me confidence in your eyes
Hides a feeling locked up inside
Should have told me nothing was in your heart
Had a feeling right from the start
Do you remember that fatal mistake
Other people now blame you
For the love that you made
Madmen and sinners nightmares and shame
In a room of broken mirrors my body in chains
Why didn't you warn me confidence in your lies
Shot an eagle down from the skies
You should have told me I never meant to hide
All the feelings locked up inside
Thrusted upon me cast to the wind
All the pleasures that bind thee
Lord knows that I've sinned
Blessed are those who forgive and forget
And if seeing is believing then now I regret
Come to your senses time isn't on your side
When the heavems and earth collide
And faith won't save you
When nothing is in your heart
Had a feeling right from the start
Madmen and sinners
In a room of broken mirrors
This is the end
No need to pretend now
8. Wildest Dreams
Agnus dei, agnus dei
It's getting late
I close my eyes
And think of you my friend
Again
The wind blows through an open door
Leads me down a hall that has no end
And then
On a luminated shore
Funny how it seems just like
I've been this way before
Silver lights the still of night
Leads me far beyond the waters edge
And then
There before my very eyes
Pictures seem to melt into the sky
And then
Though I've heard it said before
No one really knows for sure
What lies beyond the door
I'll take you there in my wildest dreams,
And then
I'll see you there in my wildest dreams
And no one can save us there
Tell me where my love has gone
A faded memory calls her once again
And then
Her fingers touch my very soul
Lead me to a well that has no end
And then
Thought I'd seen it all before
I close my eyes and dream about
What lies beyond the door
I'll take you there
In my wildest dreams
And then
To God I swear
In my wildest dreams
And no one can save us there
Where have all the people gone
Will we ever cross our paths again
But then
No one really knows for sure
If heaven waits
For those of us that sinned
But then
Well I'm not praying anymore
My destiny lies just beyond
That hidden stained glass door
Take me there
In your wildest dreams,
Again
See you there
In your wildest dreams,
Again
You can't compare
To your wildest dreams
No one can stop and stare
No one can save us there
Agnus dei, agnus dei
It's getting late
I close my eyes
And think of you my friend
Again
9. Master Of The Mind
Crawling slow across the floor
Neurosurgeons wait outside
Screaming out for more
Stepping closer to the light
Hallucinations take control
And spiral out of sight
Dark and blackened clouds above
Heavens only snow white dove
Makes it's way across the earth tonight
Are we chained forever
To this misery
Imprisoned by our lost reality
In the hours left to find
The master of the key
To your mind
Slipping out of consciousness
Anesthesia pulls me down
Into the abyss
My blood and pressure start to rise
Neurosurgeons dance before my eyes
When the tears that blind us
Fill the open seas
We drift together for eternity
In the hours left to find
The master of the key
To your mind
Only hours left to find
The master of the key
To your mind
Your mind
10. Madmen & Sinners
I. Persistence Of A Memory
There's someone in the mirror
Someone in the flame calls out my name
A history of silence a legacy of pain
Calls out my name
But no mercy no mercy at all
What's there to gain
Come heal me come feel me
The stars will fall now in vain
Learn to live and learn to forget
That's what they say
Persistence of a memory
Salvador in chains, calls out my name
But no feelings, no feelings at all
Now who's there to blame
Come to me, right through me and crawl
Crawl from this place
Come heal me, come feel me
The stars will fall now in vain
They're so far away, so far away
They're so far away, so far away
II. Water On The Brain
Look into the mirror step into the flame
Got a mental block need electric shock
I got water on the brain
It's here to stay just imagine it all
And fly away to the sun
Hallucinate for it's not too late
So long there's so long to go
Dripping from my fingers
My conscience slips away
Spinning like a top when will it ever stop
I got water on the brain
It's here to stay just imagine it all
And fly away to the sun
Hallucinate for it's not too late
So long there's so long to go
Got a funny feeling I've slowly gone insane
Better start believing I got water on the brain
A voice inside is screaming my body starts to shake
Better start believing I got water on the brain
A voice inside is screaming my body starts to shake
Come to me, right through me and crawl
Crawl from this place
Come heal me, come feel me
The stars will fall now in vain
They're so far away, so far away
They're so far away, take this knife
Save my life
III. The Good Book
Salman Rushdie tell me where you've been
There's a killer out to getcha gonna do you in
Satanic verses, written on the wall
Spill the blood of millions
In the name of John St Paul
It goes on and on, on and on
Give us this day our daily bread
That's what the good book says
There's a big fat fatwa on your head
Unraveling the future the ayatollah said
Cast away the devil, wage a holy war
Country verse country
Gonna settle ancient scores
It goes on and on, on and on
Give us this day our daily bread
That's what the good book says
It goes on and on, on and on
Give us this day but don't forget
Just what the good book says
IV. In My Head
I heard you calling out my name
Visions dancing in the frame
And as you crawl across my bed
Voices echo in my head
Now we've gone too far come to wear the scars
Let the pain last forever on the edge of life
Consecrate this night let me be your last saviour
And as you dance across my bed
Voices echo in my head
So look into my eyes tell a thousand lies
Put me under your spell this might be the last
Throw away the past no more soul left to sell
Now you're gone without a trace
Voices echo in your place
Wel I've been here before lying on the floor
When the silence awakens
A bleeding heart can melt all I ever felt
I guess I'll see you in heaven
Once again, yeah
