1. Suspended Animation
CAUGHT IN SUSPENDED ANIMATION,
A VICTIMIZED SLAVE.
PAWNS IN ISOLATION
SHOVEL SOLITARY GRAVES.
I GOTTA FUEL MY FIRE
FEED MY SOUL.
TEARIN' DOWN THE PYER,
GONNA TAKE CONTROL…
DOWN, DOWN HELL ON WHEELS I'M BREAKIN' FREE.
SPIRAL UP, FACE TO FACE WITH FANTASY.
WE'RE GONNA PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT,
LIVE LIFE LOUD.
LOVIN' EVERY MINUTE,
WE ARE LIGHTNING NOW.
IF YOU'RE CAUGHT UP IN IT
PUT YOUR DEMONS ON PROWL.
YOU KNOW YOU'RE GONNA WIN IT
WHEN THE LIGHTS GO DOWN.
DOWN TOWN, HELL ON WHEELS BREAKIN' FREE.
SPIRAL UP, FACE TO FACE WITH SYNERGY.
DOWN TOWN, HELL ON WHEELS BREAKIN' FREE.
SPIRAL UP, FACE TO FACE-YOU & ME.
I GOTTA FEED MY FIRE
FUEL MY SOUL.
THERE'S GOT TO BE A BETTER WAY
2. Wasted In The City
Rat's sittin' pretty, the cat's in the hole; sick city state of mind.
The law dog answers to the underworld, life's like doin' time.
Scintillating ladies lovin' lipstick nights are selling passion. It's state of the arts.
Lonely leather rebels under neon lights are dealing trouble in the beat of a heart.
Well I'm wasted in the city tonight
Try to take me I don't care.
'Cause I'm wasted and I'm ready to fight
like a razor cuttin' through the air, I'm wasted in the city.
Wasted in the city. Get wasted!
I'll laugh in your face, maybe spit in your eye, might even tell you that you're gonna die.
May be religion or it may be your creed. I don't really need a reason why.
There's a wild dog howling in the heat of the night, a Black Panther out on the lamb.
Murder on the next street, a riot at dawn. All this and I don't even give a damn.
'Cause I'm wasted in the city tonight
try to take me, I don't care.
'Cause I'm wasted and I'm ready to fight
like a razor cuttin' through the air, I'm wasted in the city.
Wasted in the city. Get wasted!
Well I tasted this big city life; bad trouble brewing everywhere
and I said take me to the city of lights. Now I know I'm gonna die here, wasted in the city.
W asted in the city. I'm wasted in the city, Wasted in the city.
3. Vengeance
Now I've got the power burning' up inside.
Flames of vicious fury from the tears I never cried.
What once was deep devotion vanished in the night.
Resuscitate the heartbeat, turn & face the fight.
In this ivory tower: the silence of the lambs.
A moment of injustice - forever you'll be damned.
Cursed is your reflection, lost in your cruel charade.
I've returned - I stake my claim. It's written in my creed: Vengeance
Thrill of victory beacons, it all comes back to you.
Deceit, intimidation - (your) fallacious attitude
Flight of trepidation, mixed message misconstrued.
The vulture feeds on death now you no longer can elude Vengeance
Hold me - by your side. Love me - steal my pride
Touch me - paralyze. Save me - to watch me die.
Stranger - in your eyes. Betrayal - in your lies.
Tempt me - to victimize. I wash away the torment - I arise.
...Resuscitate the heartbeat, turn and face the fight.
4. Unknown Soldier
5. Westend
We're goin' down to the west end to fight to the bitter end.
The good and evil is in our sight, democracy is sin.
The wild men scream retribution. The Warriors dig their graves.
The wind blows revolution into the homes of the bereaved.
There's no mercy
There's no mercy
We're going down to the west end
We're goin' down to the west end fist to fist and man to man;
a final stand for victory in this God forsaken land.
This is our constitution, by birth our given right.
On holy land we take our stand, blood will spill tonight.
There's no mercy
There's no mercy
You're going down to the west end.
We're goin' down to the west end to fight to the bitter end.
The good and evil is on our side, our democracy is sin.
There's no mercy
There's no mercy
6. Stand
The war has begun, the sphinx is at your side.
The Gods are calling out from this holy land
The time has finally come for this unforgotten son.
The rising of this land has blackened as they run.
Stand as they run into retaliation
Stand as you win the final confrontation.
Now the dream is near, the vision is so clear:
the power of our freedom at our side.
The sphinx won't let us run. He made us take a stand.
Now we want the power of this land.
Stand as they run into retaliation
Stand as you win the final confrontation.
Stand as they run into retaliation
Stand as you win the final confrontation.
Now the dream has past, the vision will always last.
The power of freedom in our hand.
He made us take a stand.
Now we won the power of this land
7. So Low
8. The Angel In Hell
NO FEAR OF DARKNESS,
SHE LIVED HER LIFE FOR LOVE.
SHE WALKED THESE STREETS OF SINNERS
NEVER GIVING UP.
WEST SIDE INTO THE VIOLENCE,
EACH DAY A NEW REGIME.
A MISSIONARY OF MERCY TURNED
VICTIM OF THE MACHINE.
SO SAD; THE DEGRADATION
SO HURT; (BUT) YOU COULD NOT TELL.
SHE LIVED LIFE TO SPREAD HER LIGHT,
THE ANGEL BORN IN HELL.
HER SOUL FLIES, SHE LIES IN SILENCE.
THESE SAD EYES NO LONGER CRY.
WINGS ON HER SHOULDERS-
SHE'S KISSED HER LAST SUNRISE.
THERE IS NO FIGHTING BACK TODAY,
THE DECADENCE AND DECAY,
'CAUSE HERE THERE IS NO FUTURE
"DOESN'T MATTER ANY WAY."
ROVING EYES PREPARE TO DIE
BEHIND THESE ALLEY WAYS.
DON'T COME HERE SEEKING TROUBLE
YOU MAY NEVER GET AWAY.
NO FEAR OF DARKNESS,
SHE LIVED HER LIFE FOR LOVE.
SHE WALKED THESE STREETS OF SINNERS
9. Ghosts Dancing (In The Ballroom)
10. The Candle
I can burn the candle in the night when darkness defies me,
But I have begged forgiveness for my life and these streets still deny me, I‘m still alone.
So many nights I‘ve fallen to my knees in hope, in desperation
I find my candle‘s flame lost in the breeze. It was my only consolation, now I’m alone.
Hey you can spare a light for my candle? Hey you could you spare some change today?
Voices in the darkness hear my plea and echo my resentment.
They say “why must I burn this candle in the street
while others live their lives in deep contentment and I’m alone?”
Hey you can spare a light for my candle? “No.” Hey you would you care to change today?
(solo)
This candle‘s casting shadows in the darkness, summer’s come and gone.
The winds are blowing winter through my home, December holds a chill that cuts the bone and I’m alone.
Hey you can spare a light for my candle? Oh, hey you would you care to change today?
Hey you can spare a light for my candle? “No.” Hey you would you dare to light my way?
I can burn the candle in the night when dark mystifies me,
But I have begged forgiveness for my life and these streets still deny me. I’m still alone.
