1. Vengeance
Take what you want, the you�ll get what you need
Isn�t that all that we�re teaching
Slowly but surely we�re planting the seed
Hey listen, there�s no use in preaching.
All these years you�ve turned away
Nothing left to say.
Vengeance
You haven�t a clue
Vengeance
It�s inside of you.
All of the sinners, they�re playing their game
Only the good people listen
Over and over it�s always the same
Committing the crime, and yet no one�s to blame.
All these years you�ve turned away
Nothing left to say.
Vengeance
You haven�t a clue
Vengeance
It�s inside of you.
Is there a reason we�re losing the fight
Stuck in this hell that we�re living
Over and over it�s always the same
Passing the sentence yet no one�s to blame.
All these years you�ve turned away
Nothing left to say.
Vengeance
You haven�t a clue
Vengeance
It�s inside of you.
2. No Love Lost
Enough is enough
I�m nobody fool
I won�t take no more
Oh now I�m out the door
I won�t live by anyone�s rules.
I feel it�s safe to say I�m on my own
It�s just another lesson learned.
No love lost.
Life�s like getting blood from a stone
We all live by cards that were dealt
I don�t want no promises, don�t want no lies
Go sell them to somebody else.
I think it�s safe to say, I�m on my own
It�s just another lesson learned.
No love lost.
We�ve had enough, can�t take no more.
3. Tomorrow's Gone
In a dark and deserted land
Lives a race of forgotten man
With a will never seen before
Do we dare to un lock the door.
In his world there�s so much to fear
And all the pain that he�s made to bare
One desire, that�s his will to live.
Not destroy, but no give.
He�s been lost for so many years
By his choice, he has disappeared
From a world that is closing in
As the end of this race begins.
All he wants is to be left free
No other land does he want to see
In his heart he knows it won�t be long
He won�t give up, he must stay strong.
As he tried to hide, from the madness
There�s no hope in hell, for tomorrow won�t live on.
What is gone, may never have been
Another world, now he�s fallen in
All his dreams, how they�ve disappeared
Now he lives, all he feared.
He only wanted to be left free
This other land that he�s forced to see
In his mind, his will always be
A place that he�ll never leave.
As he tries to hide, from the madness
There�s no hope in hell, it�s gone
Tomorrow won�t live on.
4. The Only One
Oh, it feels like, it was yesterday
When you came into my life
And took my heart away
Now I find, myself looking back
And I�m realizing how
You turned me inside out
And left with no doubt.
Oh you�re the only one
The love I feel
And you�re the only one
It seems unreal.
Now I see what it�s all about
No more chasin my own tail
There�s nothing left to fear
As long as you are here.
Oh you�re the only one
The love I feel
And you�re the only one
It seems unreal.
Oh you�re the only one I know
The love I feel
And you�re the only one
It seems unreal.
I can�t explain the way I feel
I�ve waited so long
For someone like you.
5. I'd Die without You
I�d sacrifice, whatever�s left of me
Been livin lies then you set me free
You�ve given more than I ever had
I give yo you all over again.
We�re grown so strong
Over and over again
Though things have gone wrong
My love.
There is no higher love than we have
You know I¡d die without you
There are no lies, we left them behind
I�d surely die without you.
I�ve never tried, tried this hard
I�ve never cried, never gone so far
Even the Gods, can�t set us apart
It�s engraved deep in our hearts.
We�re grown so strong
Over and over again
Through things have gone wrong
My love.
There is no higher love than we have
You know I�d die without you
There a re no lies, we left them behind
I�d surely die without you.
6. Overture 1622 (instrumental)
7. Voodoo
The moon is bright in the voodoo night
Dead eyes are burning with fire
There�s no more light in the voodoo night
What�s wrong and what�s right
Let�s end this fight.
Something has started y to grow
Something that died long ago
You know too much and you touch
Forbidden knowledge.
Voodoo.
Tryin to hide in the voodoo night
Your cup of poison it feels so right
The moon is bright in the voodoo night
Dead eyes are burning with fire.
Something has started to grow
Something that dead long ago
You knew too much and you touch
Forbidden knowledge.
Voodoo.
8. Cross the Line
I�m not the one
Who�s runnin round and bein snakey
I�m not the one who�s got it down
Time after time
I try not actin crazy
With you, that�s not an easy thing to do.
So I�m pleadin.
Maybe it�s time
Don�t tell me, don�t tell me
To draw the line, don�t tell me it�s time.
Day after day
You talk to me in circles
I don�t believe your little smile
I�m not the one
The one who�s thinking crazy
I won�t be walkin down no aisle.
So I�m pleadin.
Maybe it�s time
Don�t tell me, don�t tell me
To draw the line, maybe it�s time.
9. Time Will Tell
I�ve never killed another man
I�ve never lived the master plan
I can only pray that we�ll survive.
Will every sin and whitened line
I see the future slipping by
The time is nearing, what have we done.
Is there a reason? Someone explain?
And in the end will we pay?
Time will tell
I will.
The hands of time we can�t turn back
Have we all slipped through the cracks
Lord have mercy, forgive us all.
Is there a reason? Someone explain?
And in the end will we pay?
Time will tell
I will.
There�s no use looking back
Everything�s turning black
Time�s running out for us all.
10. Fire in the Sky
If you play with fire you�ll get burned
It�s such a shame
Even when you try you�ll never learn
To tame the flames.
Like the demon�s eye
Watching over me
Relentlessly.
You have got no wings but you have always tried to fly
Your soul is burning up like a fire in the sky.
Some say I�ve been had, and that�s too bad
I know they�re wrong
Some say I�ve gone mad, and that�s too sad
I�m much too strong.
Like the demon�s eye
Watching over me
Relentlessly.
You have got no wings but you have always tried to fly
Your soul is burning up like a fire in the sky
You�re not living what you�re preaching and you�re not a priest
You�re not living, you are leeching, living like a beast.
I feel fine although you give me hell
I don�t mind
I�m your golden mine you know so well
Let me shine.
Like the demon�s eye
Watching over me
Relentlessly.
You have got no wings but you have always tried to fly
Your soul us burning up like afire in the sky
You�re not living what your preaching and you�re not a priest
You�re not living, you are leeching, living like a beast.
