1. Midnight Chaser
midnight, feels right, step into my car
I'll take you on a pleasure cruise, we really could go far
moving around
chase to the ground
you're a midnight chaser (chorus)
racing, chasing, tearing down the road
speeding, needing, you're hands on my load
repeat chorus
I wanna feel your motivation
I'm gonna ride you 'till you can't go on
I feel the power of my pulsation
I'm gonna run you dry, drive you high, til you can't go on,no,no,no,no.
repeat verse one/chorus
midnight racer
dark night chaser
midnight racer
midnight racer
2. Red Skies
the time was ripe, for life on Mars
when Earth was forming, the zels could see
they came in spheres amongst the stars
they saw our world and let it be
get it right, people don't fight, get it right sands of time will sway
don't misuse your strength and might (chorus)
get it right, dawn will come the day
our world grew older, all green and blue
when mars was dying, and turning red
the zels knew then if they did not do
anything soon they'd all be dead
repeat chorus...
we hit on a plan, the zels and our kind
they said we'd have the north half, if they had the south
and so for the benefit of all mankind
we'd make enough food to feed everyone's mouth
3. High Upon High
i have seen the other side, seen it through your eyes
a bridge across the city wall, a tower reaching up to the sky
a city o wondrous dream, a place of endless time
to take away your agony, a city where no man can die
where there's a sign, to show me the way (chorus)
light up the sky help me to reveal your mystery
a path winding through the trees, smell the morning dew
leading all along its way, the way that only the shadows knew
glancing through an open door, tell me what you see
an image from beyond your mind, of what you are or wanting to be
step into this hidden dream, high upon high
body's feeling stronger now, youth's returning through out my soul
feeling like a new born child life's returned again
fate is set before me now, this must be my destiny
4. Way of the Kings
who did you buy today
a reverend or a king
to rid you of a problem
someone dropped you in
how high to tell a lie
are you prepared to go
you'd sell your mother
and your soul
for what you need to know
don't forget, forget tomorrow
what you said today (chorus)
leave your conscience on the shelf
if you want to play
silent types and broken hearts
are always left behind
spending time there's suicide
and papers there to sign
repeat chorus
out of sight and out of mind
no one here to hear you singing
pour the wine bring on the pie
forget tomorrow, what you said today
repeat verse two
how can you sing the song
when your words don't rhyme
you see, but i get the picture
through your twisted smile
chorus
5. No Reprieve
hangman, hangman, hangman's waiting by the door
he's gonna take me away
leaving, leaving all my time behind
throw it away
you can take my life away
you can't take my soul (chorus)
you can take my life away
but you can't take my soul
evil, evil took possession of my brain
driving insane
screaming, screaming, I'd do it all again
yes I would
repeat chorus
You will learn
You must learn
You will burn
You must turn
dying, dying, it's too late to save,
close the door
rising, rising, rising from the grave
ha ha ha
repeat chorus
You will learn
You must learn
You will burn
You must turn
6. Don't be Fooled
don't need nobody, I know the rules
Don't need no ties to bind me
I'm not a fool
I learned them one by one, right from the start
and now I'm getting ready to take the part
getting ready, getting ready right now...(horus)
It's no easy, if you don't know
Exactly where you're going, when you're alone
Pull youself together prepare yourself
accept the golden rule, just be yourself
repeat chorus...
don't be fooled by the way I don't want a fight
Don't be fooled, I'm getting it right
just a little bit of playing around
I found was going nowhere I'm going down
don't need nobody, I know the rules
I don't want a fight I'm not being fooled
just a little bit of, playing around,
i found would get me nowhere, I'm going down
7. Fool for the Gods
answer my questions, give me your reasons
you talk from the heavens, you only deceived us
why was I chosen, there must have been others
I gave all I had, the fruits of my seasons
you gave me a kingdom, I built you a temple
you were exalted, and yet you were feeble
I knelt at your altar, I knelt there before you
I begged you to help us, now I defy you
This kingdom's deserted the blood of my brothers flows into the river
I asked, I begged you, beseached you, I pleaded to help us
The people believed you, all faith that was in you was worthless
this solitary world was my pain, my anguish, my sadness
where were you, are we fools, are you true?
your statues neglected, no longer respected as sacred
your prophets defy you, the people deny you you're hated
you lie in your heavens forgotten and yet you're bewildered
no longer betrothen through questions that you never answered
where were you, are we fools, are you true?
I looked to the mountains, the mists of your heavens surrounded
you called me , I followed, your presence around me was shrouded
your chariots stood proudly, the gates of your heavens were open
I have been used, but I never asked to be chosen
-repeat verse one-
