1. Fight!
2. Midnight Train
Music: Paul Vuocolo
Lyrics: Paul Vuocolo, Nick Slayton
Drifting off half-past midnight
Neuron Railroad the guiding light
Obsession to some but not to me
It's a game I play and admissions free
Invincibility with me I'm the man can't you see I rule this dream?
Well I want you and I need you
But I can't do a thing about it
It's a psycho-dilemma
My hearts starts pounding I clinch my pillow
You want to touch want you can't feel
Ride the Midnight Train
You want to see what can't be seen
Ride the Midnight Train
Bordering on insanity
This love I chase will consume me
I'm bridging the gap between space and time
But as I cross I lose my mind
And now that I have you in my sights
Gonna leave my life, gonna leave it behind
You want to touch want you can't feel
Ride the Midnight Train
You want to see what can't be seen
Ride the Midnight Train
You want to feel what can't be real
Ride the Midnight Train
You want to touch but you can't see
Ride the Midnight Train
And now that I've found you I can rest my mind
And now that I have you I can lose my life
Oh how ironic that a piece of time brought us together
I reach into my pocket and she screams, "Come back to me!"
Solo - Paul
*Inspired by the Richard Matheson novel, "Somewhere In Time."
3. Lightning Ball
4. Agnostic Fate
Music: Paul Vuocolo, Nick Slayton
Lyrics: Paul Vuocolo
I stand alone at the foot of this mountain
Want to ascend so that I can see you
And as I stand atop of this mountain
I realize that I’ll never see you
And I know I’m doomed...
To spend a long time in misery
I played the game and lost, oh why me?
(How did I let it inside of me?)
Cracks in the pavement lead hearts astray
Is this for real or is it fantasy?
I ask these questions everyday
To make the pain go away
And I, what a fool I’d been
Don’t think ‘til tragedy
I was a know it all
Yeah, I think I’ll wait it out
But the pain won’t go away
Someone out there please listen to me
It has weaved itself inside of me
(How long will it cling to me?)
Straight ahead now don't look back
Paid no attention to a train far off its tracks
And as for what it is they say
It seems we all have lost our way
Last night I cried myself to sleep
Only to be woken by my dreams
And as I sit upon my grave
I hear the joy, the joy of those of who’ve been saved
I know I was a fool
Never cared to follow you
Now I’m begging you
Can you hear me begging you to give me one more chance?
I know my soul is doomed
Never cared to believe in you
Now my faith has come too late
I have fashioned my own, my own fate
5. Solitude
6. Conscience Stains
7. Saturation Point
Music: Paul Vuocolo
Lyrics: Paul Vuocolo, Nick Slayton
I’m sick and tired of hearing you wine
About the burdens that aren’t on your mind
You cry and preach what’s wrong and what’s right
But you never seem to engage in a fight
All for one and one for himself, alone you won’t stand tall
But you make no amends or promises
Your full of it, I’m sick of it, I don’t want to hear it anymore
Now my face turns red
Now your face turns blue
Don’t open yourself to criticism
Don’t try and crucify you
Why do you feel the need?
Is there something I should know?
Your thoughts are safe with others
Others with good intent
And now I bid you farewell
Your boat’s without a sail...Saturation Point
Solo - Keunsuk Lee
Here’s a tip to lift those burdens
Just shut your f***ing mouth
Take a number and get in line
You’re not the only fool
You can’t talk the talk
Without walking the walk
Still you make no amends or promises
Your full of it, I’m sick of it, I don’t want to hear anymore
Solo - Keunsuk Lee
When you feel the need
Don’t bother to let me know
Your thoughts are safe with others
Others with good intent
And now I bid you farewell
Your boat’s without a sail
*Chorus melody & rhythm inspired by the 1997 MEGADETH song, "Vortex."
