1. Down to the Temple
Running the distance
Alive for the last time
Press on without question... without fear.. oh..
Give to the moon-give to the sun
We're going
Down.. down.. down...
Down to the temple
Don't you know we're going down.. down.. down...
Down to the temple...
Down to the top see the king
Other men of the cloth in a frenzy
Scale the steps to forever
Blood and body racing... oh..
Give to the moon give to the sun
We're going..
Down... down.. down..
Down to the temple
Oh we're going down.. down... down...
Down to the temple.. Clutch the bleeding heart!
[Lead]
Now I know without fear
The end is near
Give to the moon-give to the sun
We're going down.. down.. down..
Down to the temple
Oh ohh we're going down... down.. down..
Down to the temple
Clutch the bleeding heart
2. On the Edge
Pounding their way through your head see it all in your eyes
Reflections of overindulgence you're barely alive
Washing away in a swirling mass of confusion you're going to break!
On the edge
Living faster you live
On the edge!
Time after time anytime anyplace.. just don't care
Headstrong and blind plunging headlong no mind, unaware.
Head to the floor, face in the mud
Watch as you turn into ice!
On the edge
Because you do it so well
On the edge!
[Lead]
Now that your eyes hove been opened to what lies ahead
Don't be a loser, abuser, you may wind up dead!
Up off your ass!!! Take control 'cause the key to your destiny lies
within you!
On the edge
Living faster you live..
On the edge...!!!
Into the pit
down the hatch
Sinking fast
Can't get back
No way out
For you now
What the hell
Will you do
3. Digital Dictator
He travels through the skies
With technicolor lights
Terminating life in air
Traffic regulation
That snatch you against the pipe
A hundred others watch his rage
Well it's a fight
* Sign of the times
Or so we're told
Let it unwind
Programming minds
He's ruling with false control
Digital Dictator
He's ruling with false control
Round and round we go
The cycle never ends
One or two at a time
Come closer ......
Call to apart
The circuit's on the blink
Going through the night
He'll never leave he's weak
(* Repeat)
Just the most incredible
He's always played to win
.........Training on destruction
He'd blow his men
Ultimate shooter
Perfection in sight
Master in affliction with terror
In the sky
(* Repeat)
Digital Dictator
Digital Dictator
4. Poveglia
5. March or Die
March or die
If you defy it
We'll come smashing through
Marching into glory ride
The victory is due
We wear the cross of evil
And you take on the fight
March or die it's a battle cry
Prepare to ride tonight
Chorus:
You either march or die (march or die)
It's a battle cry
At the sounds of war March or die
You either march or die (march or die)
Not to wonder why
It goes on and on - on and on in war
[Vinnie Moore solo!]
March or die
The bodies fly
And the battle has begun
And who will last you or I?
To see the final sun
Onward raced the soldier
lay or run before
forward into battle
marching into war
[Chorus]
[Vinnie Moore solo!]
March or die
If you defy it
We'll come smashing through
Forging armor 'til the end
The rest will come to you
Forces of the wicked are pearing down on you
March or die it's a battle cry
The victory is due
[Chorus]
[Vinnie Moore solo!]
6. Fight
7. Only Live Twice

I've been down... many times before
I've been around, seen it all and maybe more

All night long... doin' what we've got to do.. yeah
Well so long... but you know... I 'm comin' after you
9. Lady Took a Chance
Alright
Oh, don't play with fire again
The pain becomes your only friend
You must see now a circle growing
Back to the point of soul determined
You take your chance when you play the game
Roll the dice 'cause you're allowed to win
Pick your number in back of the line
Check in the shorts for a holiday plan
Is to wear the shortest axe
You can do it again, yeah
* Well the lady took a chance
But there is no guarantees in romance
Although you may respect her
Your love will not protect her
The boys beat color others black and blue
Changes that you put me through
Know the hate all end up the same
The time has come to make me pray
You take your chance when you play the game
Roll the dice 'cause you're allowed to win
Pick your number in back of the line
Shark skin jacket with a tortoise in his pocket
She was never going anywhere
You ain't never coming back with her
(* Repeat)
The lady took a chance
And she lost lost lost lost lost
The lady took a chance
She really took a chance
The lady took a chance
She really took a chance
She lost
The lady took a chance
She really lost the fight
She stretched a little harder
Just to fleece her appetite
Yeah
The lady took a chance
She really took a chance
It all slipped away
In a voodoo dance
Tonight oh yeah
Ice cold day with sordid twitch
You can eat it on the run
Or you rub it on a stick tonight
10. Broken Wings
11. Abandoned
I'm waiting around 'cause I haven't got paid yet
I'm banging my head on the side of the pavement
You're turning this into some kind of freak show
You gotta stop, I'm still waiting
Abandoned again
I tought you we're my friend
Abandoned again
I tought you we're my friend but you abandoned me again
You're flying your colors for all to see
You're fooling you're friends but you ain't fooling me, no
You closed the door and shut me out
What the hell ya' think I'm talking about?
Abandoned again
I tought you we're my friend
Abandoned so what?
Knife in my gut
No love is lost
Out if the grey, just go away
I've heard it all, enough of your bullshit
About your outh, it's time you closed it
You've burned all your bridges, there's nobody left
Abandoned again
I tought you we're my friend
Abandoned again
I tought you we're my friend but you abandoned me again
12. Against the Grain
It's really been a pleasure to be such a pain
Oh, like a nasty stain that won't go away
I won't go away
Don't care what you say
Doin' things my way
I've got the hammer to nail you back into your box
I-I'm here to stay
I've got the power to stand up and take what I want
Are we all insane - Hate for hatred's sake
I choose to break away - Runnin' against the grain
I put the puzzle together and I slice my own pie
You know some won't like it - but to me that's just fine
Out of my way I don't want to play
Do you hear what I say
I don't want to play
I've got the pressure to back you right up to the wall
And you - do you hear what I say
This is the hour I welcome you all to the ball
Are we all insane - Hate for hatred's sake
I choose to break away - runnin' against the ... grain
Are we all insane - hate for hatred's sake
I choose... I choose to break away
13. Children
Children, finish what we started.
They may only live in the world we give them.
Children, will they be brokenhearted?
They may never know what they're missing.
We gotta take it easy,
We gotta take it slow,
We gotta leave 'em something
Somewhere to go.
All the children are the heirs (children are the heirs)
Taking what we give them.
Will they even care, (will they even care?)
Or will they do what we did?
Children, staring at the ocean
They just want to play in the water -- but it's black.
We gotta take it easy,
We gotta take it slow,
We gotta leave 'em something
Somewhere to go.
All the children are the heirs (children are the heirs)
Taking what we give them.
Will they even care, (will they even care?)
Or will they do what we did?
We are all the victims of our heavy hands
Who will make the children understand?
Children are the heirs (children are the heirs)
Taking what we give them.
Will they even care, (will they even care?)
Or will they do what we did?
14. Don't Wait for Me
