1. Another day
2. Jacob's dance
3. Resurrection
4. Face in the mirror
5. Johnny
6. Watching over
7. Alone
8. Winter's garden
9. Forever
10. Sign of heaven
11. The legacy
1. Another day
Tortured souls surround me
Melody of one
Blackened hearts divided
The desperation has begun
What we know is it really there
Or are we just afraid
We walk the road to nowhere
What lies beyond the shade
Fantasies arising
To save us from ourselves
A neverending story
Or a drop in the wishing well
Time and time pass before our eyes
Are we lost at every turn
Within a soul a spirit lies
How long will the candle burn
Searching for the answer
The one to guide the way
Bow down before the master
To seek another day
Questions on the learning
Of what was said and done
To hold so dear and sacred
What might not be the one
We hold to faith in our darkened time
Of sorrow and confusion
The flame of hope burns a finer line
The final restitution
Searching for the answer
The one to guide the way
Bow down before the master
To seek another day
2. Jacob's dance
It's a long time from the beginning
Do you think they knew the truth from the start
Worry not I heard them say
Did they pray for a black tomorrow
Dust conceals my face
The creases are so deep with age
In silence I lay
The strength of the youth I tried to save
Such fools begging for more
But in the end there is no more
There is nothing left but me
And I'm the one no child shall see
Reflecting in my eyes
A life that could have been
A place they left behind
A life that should have been
From the life that you turned away
It hurts me to the end of sorrow
The crying children kneels and pray
For a light within a black tomorrow
3. Resurrection
Who we are where we stand
Alone my heart betrayed
Look beyond your soul to see
Yesterdays pass away
Lay me down before I fall
My life is not the same
Once before I called on you
Now I know your name
Take me away
The only one
Take me away
Never calm before the storm
My eyes are clear to see
Dawning hopes drifting as I cry out
Remember me
Bow your head below inside
My spirit burns and falls
Sanctify me, pacify
Crucify them all
Take me away
The only one
Take me away
Look upon the altar now
Tomorrow is born to die
Come take my hand
You'll never walk alone
Why you ask yourself
A new lord has been throned
4. Face in the mirror
The mask comes off his face
As he creeps in my room
There's a shadow on the floor
Is this all and nothing more
(chorus:)
Tell me
What will I sacrifice
I see
A shadow of what is and what will be
What will be
What will you sacrifice
All day long the smiles
The fears, the laughter, and the tears
It's 6 o'clock
My time to hide
(chorus)
I did it all for you
As I was told to do
I do it all for you
I give myself
(chorus)
5. Johnny
Murder
In the first degree
Sitting by your side
Death
Causes fear
A young woman dies
In the night
Johnny's a killing machine
Desire
Creeping up on you
A boy turns to a man
Obsession
Take control
Child reach out your hand
In the night
Johnny's a killing machine
(chorus:)
Johnny can you kill her?
Johnny can you kill her?
Johnny can you kill her?
Johnny could you kill for me?
Murder
In the first degree
Sitting by your side
Death
Causes fear
A young woman dies
In the night
Johnny's a killing machine
(chorus)
6. Watching over
In the shadow do you see
What you've always known to be
In the twilight come with me
Do you believe me now
A vision blinded everywhere
Blinded
So sweet your despair
I'm the warmth that leaves you cold
You have always known me
I'm your prophecy foretold
Do you feel me now
Watching over
Before I take you away
Watching over
Heaven awaits
Twisted smile through faceless eyes
You will always know me
The final curtain rests
Beneath the falling sky
Watching over
Before I take you away
Watching over
Heaven awaits
7. Alone
Racing fast at demon speed
Far away from home
Raging skies open up the night
Ride the wind alone
(chorus:)
It's a lonely world
Reliving our creation
It's a lonely world
Never one's salvation
Thunder cracks... fear
The time is slipping as you see
Heaven calls cannot fight
Hellbound destiny
Burning eyes light the way
Fall unto the end
Passing through discovery
The end begins again
(chorus)
Twisted minds release the hunger
Boiling in your veins
No quarter for the weak
The song remains the same
(chorus)
8. Winter's garden
Better days
Will come again
The choir is singing
Goodbye, my friend
(chorus:)
Darkness will fall I see the coming of man
Free from the struggle within
Darkness will fall I see the coming of man
Better the man without sin
Empty pages looking back... remain...
Winter's garden begins the endless chain
(chorus)
Summer's morn daybreak in the sky
All we know
Begins when we die
(chorus)
9. Forever
Across the distant morning
As the time slips down below
We hear the echo of a life gone past
Remember once a feeling
That you held inside your heart
Forgotten now...
(chorus:)
We'll never find
One world behind
Close your eyes and think about a child of long ago
Of yesterday's tomorrow never lived
Forgotten once a feeling
That you held inside your heart
Remember now...
(chorus)
Awaken to a lifetime
Beyond what you have dreamed
But the dreams only seem too real
Remember once a feeling
That you held in your heart
Forgotten now...
10. Sign of heaven
Destroyer of life
The one we've become
Beginning of the end complete
Retracing the line
Of what we have done
Blinded by our childish conceit
The sky showed the signs
Before you were born
Descend on a life of evil
The future has passed
Life whispers in the dark
Say goodbye
O, sign of heaven
O, sign of heaven
Destroyer of life
The one we've become
Beginning of the end complete
Retracing the line
Of what we have done
Blinded by our childish conceit
O, sign of heaven
O, sign of heaven
11. The legacy
Enter from a world within
Through a window of make believe
The virgin soul devoid of sin
The journey's end is coming
A brave new world is calling
We go around again
An arrow through a circle
(chorus:)
And the story will carry on
A tale for all to hear
And the story will carry on
It will never be real
Time moving constantly
To make the most of what's been given
Is there anything left to give
See a million sides of one
Together all the same
Only one can win this game
Is it a place worth living in
Or have we thrown it all away
We go around again
An arrow through a circle
(chorus)
A million sides of one
Together all the same
Only one can win this game
Days of denial are over
As another cycle gets older
We go around again
An arrow through a circle
(chorus)
