1. Don't Say Goodbye
There's danger, charging the air tonight
A feeling of hopeless despair
Oh my love it's not the first time
I've felt the tremors of hate
Jealousy is on the rise
I can see the snake in your eyes
The time has come for us to aim for the heart
I'm begging you
Don't say goodbye tonight love
Don't say goodbye to my love
Don't say goodbye I need you to stay
Lost, gone in an instant
An angry word, then the crash of the door
Oh, it's too late you're lost to the nightwind
The black sky cries out your name
And it seems like it's happened before
And it's bound to a thousand times more
When will we ever learn, learn how to love?
2. A Cry in the Night
A cry in the night I'm still hearing
No my love is gone I must be dreaming
Lost in the mist of passions strange
Wiping the tears I recall the pain
Of love and laughter, joy now slain
When your world turns cold won't you call my name
Come on
Cry out in the dark
I'll be by your side to give you warmth
And light and shield you from the night
Hold on, hold on, we'll fan the flames of love
Together again, just you and I
I watched the faces in the fire
No emotion was ever there
If this is truth then who's the liar?
Your eyes are blind, they don't love you
You're just an amusement, thought of with disdain
But I'm still waiting, won't you call my name
You say your heart is open to loves
Call and you can't refuse it's refrain
But you don't hear the real sirens song
Echoing it's refrain, my love still remains so
Cry out in the dark i'll be by your side
To give you warmth and light
And shield you from the night
Hold on hold on we'll fan the flames of love
Together again...just you and i...
3. I Am the One
This evening a star did fall
And the sky was all ablaze
It was a sign for me to gather wings and fly, to fly
The angels are all crying now, for the one that was so fair
They fear that she has fallen, oh no, oh no. oh
Riding like the rainbow, tearing cross the sky
Like the roar of thunder, i'm never gonna die
I've been here before, i'll return again
I'm the one who lights the way
The fire of hatred, the heat of the sun
I am upon you, i am the one
A choir of angels, get ready to run
I am upon you, i am the one!
I'm the sound of anger, a cannon in the wind
I'm the great avenger, you'll pay for your sins
You can run for cover, but i'll get you anyway
I'm the one who lights the way
Riding like the rainbow, tearing cross the sky
I'm never ever ever ever gonna die
Oh racing with the shadows
Screaming in the night
I'm the one who lights the way
The fire of hatred, the heat of the sun
I am upon you, i am the one
A choir of angels, get ready to run
I am upon you, i am the one!
4. Life of Crime
Lying and cheating
Taking all I can get
Always wanting more
It's time to even the score
Winners and losers
Always come and go
As soon as I get it
I gotta let it go
I can hear you say
I can hear you say!
Ladies of the night
Give me what you've got
I ain't looking for love
Just want some action!
We're headed for a life of crime
Keep running till the day we die
We're headed for a life of crime
But it's too late now
We've already crossed the line!
This nowhere train you're riding
Is going nowhere fast
You better watch your step
Or you're gonna burn in hell!
I can hear them say
I can hear them say!
We're headed for a life of crime
Keep running till the day we die
We're headed for a life of crime
But it's too late now
We've already crossed the line!
5. Burn the Sun
Burning like a thousand suns
Light years flash before my eyes
My hands on the trigger of a smoking gun
Shatterer of worlds I have become!
We'll burn the sun tonight
Light up the skies and watch the flames
We'll burn the sun tonight
Light up the skies and watch the flames
No more days no more nights,
Cause we'll burn the sun
Devastation is calling me
Dare forces conspire against thee
Who will sit on the vacant throne
To govern a kingdom of burning bones
6. Birth Through Fire
7. Guardians of the Flame
When the winds of ice are raging
And the sun departs for night
There's a thousand eyes upon you
But no one sees your plight
Oh no mercy hath the darkness
No love or heavens rain
You can feel the sound of anguish
Hear the cries of screaming pain
We are the guardians of the flame
Masters of the ancient rites
Our duty was ordained
To protect the realm of light
If you cross the gates of wisdom
Beware of the outer sign
Here the wolves of war are feasting
And on who knows what they dine!
Oh if your courage doth forsake you
Invoke thy masters name
We come with swords of fire
To banish the profane
Oh, we are the ones who check the forces of evil
Flames fly from our hands to engulf
The bastard called sin
War, rains through the skies
Our wrath shakes the pillars of heaven, now
The jackal is slain, fountains of blood drench the land
Come light up the torch, we have returned victorious
All's well in the world tonight
Sweet dreams from the palace of light
Sleep well, my children
8. Wait for the Night
I work so hard all day long
Thinking of you girl when we're apart
'Cause these times are getting tough
A part time love just ain't good enough
I wanna be with you every day
But I just can't find the way
I got to wait for the night
To be with you and hold you tight
Once more I'll wait for the night
Making love to you tonight
Staring up at the clock waiting
Watching the minutes ticking away
Trading my time for money
There's got to be a better way
I wanna be with you every day
But I just can't find the way
I got to wait for the night
To be with you and hold you tight
Once more I'll wait for the night
Making love to you tonight
I wanna be with you every day
But I just can't find the way
I got to wait for the night
To be with you and hold you tight
Once more I'll wait for the night
Making love to you tonight
9. Metal City
You better take time and listen to what I say
We're giving you fair warning cos we've got something to say
Hand to hand, face to face
We'll meet you on stage anytime, anyplace
We want to take you to the time of your life
We wanna show you all that we got
Are you ready cos we're leaving tonight?
Our destination is Metal City!
We used to be nice but times got tough don't you know
We paid some dues got burned a few, now we want action
Blow by blow, axe by axe
When we come to your town, you now we're gonna kick ass
We want to take you to the time of your life
We wanna show you all that we got
Are you ready cos we're leaving tonight?
Our destination is Metal City!
10. Go Down Fighting
Out in the streets you fight to survive
Cause no one cares, no one cares if you live or die
Walking alone in the heart of the city
Never give in to the beasts that roam
If you gotta go, if you gotta go,
Go down fighting, go down fighting
Your money plus your life,
That's what they want
But you'll never get, never get me without a fight
I get knocked down
But I keep coming up
And I'll get YOU back, a night attack
I'll make you have a heart attack, right now
If you gotta go, if you gotta go,
Go down fighting, go down fighting
And when your back's against the wall
And there's no escape at all
Take your aim and make your stand
You've gotta take it like a man!
If you gotta go, if you gotta go,
Go down fighting, go down fighting
'Cause it's the only way to die.
