1. Without Your Love
I need you more than ever
now that you've went away
I promise you forever
if you would only stay
I'm thinkin' back to a time
when love was on our side
Now that the rose is wilted
the thorns begin to bite
I am lost without your love
I need your love
Now I can see
fragment of a shattered dream in flight
These broken wings
a songbird cannot sing
Without your love
I can feel the tears fall
Bring another day
and come back to my heart
The poet's words are empty
his rhyme is cold and vain
He signs of death and darkness
just for a fool's gold and fame
My wounds reveal a secret
that time cannot conceal
But if you'll touch my scars
I know they'd surely heal
All I need in life is love
your precious love
Tears in the rain
can you catch it when it's fallin' down
feel my pain
I am without shame
Without your love
I can feel the tears fall
Bring another day
and come back to my heart
Without your love
there's a shadow falling
As the sun burned out
cause I can't see tomorrow
I feel the edge of your blade
touch my heart
hear me scream
I'll never be the same
chorus
2. Wings of Angels
Time, the time has come my friend
to reach the zenith spread your wings and fly
Tonight the evil fades away
just you and I can hear the battle cry
Dreams, the dreams of all your life
are here and now
they're waiting to be found
Oh, and you can take it all away
So just believe the answer's in our sight
And what seemed like forever in a child's life
The endless longing can be worth its time
And you're soaring on the wings of angels
With their heart of steel the warrior will survive
And you're soaring on the wings of angels
Where the eagles dare to fly
Tears, the tears of joy they flow
the prince of angels claiming victory
Lies, the lies that blind your heart
The truth is waiting for your soul to see
Fools, the fools they fade to flames
I see a madness mixing with desire
Oh, and you, you know you're not like them
so take my hand, I pull you from the fire
Your shadows waiting cannot keep you from the starry skies
Just break the chains and you'll fly up high
chorus\
Time, the time has come my friend
to reach the zenith spread your wings and fly
Tonight the evil fades away
just you and I can hear the battle cry
Your shadows waiting cannot keep you from the starry skies
Just break the chains and you'll fly up high
chorus\
3. Coming Home
All the leaves have turned to gray
and the signs on the wall
all these feelings I felt for the world
now they're gone, winter's near,
and I'm on my way back home
I am here alone with you
as you're looking up at me
we are here alone so let me love you
I have wanted this
for the longest time
all that's good is here
so let me love you
take me, don't break me,
I want to be one with you
You're the reason I live and die
no one will ever pass judgment onto you
for your love I'm willing to die
when I see you smile
when I hear you cry
it makes me one day to your heart
when I look in your eyes
and I see love shine
it makes me one day to your heart
now my heart is on the line
I can't wait another night
when away from you
my world stops turning
you've got everything I need
Your love cuts and my heart bleeds
just the thought can set my soul on fire
I'm lost without love, there's nothing that I can do
Now I can't wait to get back to your heart
winter is falling oh no what can I do
send your soul to open my eyes
when I see you smile
When I hear you cry
it makes me one day to your heart
when I look in your eyes
and I see love shine
it makes me one day to your heart
chorus
all the leaves have turned to gray
I'm coming home
4. Seize the Day
Thunder in my heart
Lightning in my veins
Soldier against the world
going against the grain
With my spirit strong
Never will I fail
With my sword of steel
Storm the gates of hell
No more, no tears will fall
The world turns on
Angels up above
demons down below
the earth is just a battleground
the devil is my foe
I will cross the fire
to help a soul in need
I will crush the beast
with music as my steed
No more, no darkness falls
Seize the day
live life and play this game
seize the day
find your heart
and feed the flame
I look to the sky
fall down on my knees
scream for the power to
guide my beliefs
Open up the door
capture my own dreams
break the chains that bind
and make reality
and now and forever we will
seize the day
live life and play this game
seize the day
find your heart and feed the flame
and now and forever we will
seize the day
live life and play this game
seize the day
arm your heart and feed the flame
feed the flame
come on, seize the day.
5. Invention #4 in D Minor
6. Freedom Forever
I feel the fire in my veins
Oh what a yearning
The Iron Curtains falling down
Lies don't last
The children long to see the light
Let's stand together
I'll break the wall with my bare hands
Freedom forever
Stand by my side let's march
God bless the martyr
Who leads us to victory
Once more
There's nothing holding us back
Freedom forever
There's an anger in my heart
Old Glory's burning
The soldiers shed their blood
for her
Freedom ain't free
All you in Congress can't you see
The answer's simple
Protect the family and its needs
We the people
Red White and Blue will never fade
Though the left try to bleed it
Oh to kill the unborn in the womb
It's desecration of life, c'mon
Help us fight it
Free Freedom is calling you
It's time to stop this lie
Free Freedom is calling you
Let's lift our voices high
Free Freedom is calling you
Look to the western sky
Free Freedom is calling you
Freedom will never die
Is life so dear or peace so sweet
As to be purchased at the
price of chains and slavery
Forbid it, oh, almighty God
I know not what course the others
may take
But as for me
Give me liberty or give me death
Oh how I regret
That I have only one life to give for my country
The eagle soaring high.
7. Your Love Lies
I can feel an emotion burn
Deep in my heart again
And it's been such a long long time
Since we were ever more than friends
Every time that I see your face
It strikes up a melody
Every time that I feel your grace
Your memory keeps haunting me
Now I hear your heart, it's calling me
To be like the way we were
All I want is honesty
Is that too much to ask my girl
Deep in my heart your love lies
You gave yourself all to me
Now I don't want it
Now that I see what I see
A fallen angel
Bad love is easy to find
It's right before me
I'm tired of wasting my time
'Cause your love's a lie.
Now a new day is dawning and
This dark night is over
And the spell that you cast on me
with truth revealed has been broken
How I wish that I'd never seen
Your face or had touched your heart
Like a fool threw it all away
This one mistake puts me back at start
So now let the rain fall down on me
My barren soul's now a garden
You're the last thing I'll ever need
This foolish heart has been hardened
Out of my life your love lies
Out of my life your love lies
You gave yourself all to me
Now I don't want it
Now that I see what I see
A fallen angel
Bad love is easy to find
It's right before me
I'm tired of wasting my time
'Cause your love's a lie.
8. Voices Within
I feel hunger
Burn me deep inside
Thirst for heaven, take me home tonight
I hear evil
knocking at my door
Hellish demons, coming back for more
Give me life, bless me with your love
Father, give me the strength to carry on
If they claim my soul send an angel
Of light to break their hold
Hear the voices call, hear the voices within
Tell me who will win
Hear the voices call, let this battle begin
Oh this war of sin
Can you feel it is only me
Shroud of darkness keeps it from your reach
Touch the spirit and you'll understand
Look beyond the flesh
Child, take my hand
Don't be blind, I was sent for you
From above, now I've come to speak the truth
Soon your days will end
And this wisdom of life will see you through
Catch me if I fall
No let me go let me go
From this pit down below
With your flesh you'll release
These bonds and I'll be free
Now I know my destiny
Isn't all in vain
Those who hold the key to life
will tell you just the same
Just believe that is all
I gave my life for you
It doesn't matter what you've done
It's only what you do
Life is not a mystery
Crazy but it's true
What you sow you reap my friend
Now your heart is new
If you live your life for me
And you follow love
I will give you wisdom from heaven
up above
Oh come to me / come to me
Come to me / come to me
Take my hand / I'm your man
Understand I'm your man.
9. Where Are You Now
Where are you now
Her memory fades
When I think about her
It's hard to see her face
Here without her touch
It's hard to take
How I long to hold her
And feel her warm embrace
But there are times
She waits alone at night
And wonders how long
It will rain
And there are nights she
feels the cold
Can I stop her pain
Where are you now
Her love it seems so far away
Lonely candle burns
A distant flame
Where are you now
It's hard to face another day
Darkness all around
I hope and pray
Her love will light my way
One more day 'til home
How I hope she waits
As the shadows lengthen
Across the desert plains
Memories haunt my heart
With every song that plays
As the colors of the sunset
Slowly fade
And the stars they
Burn a gleaming light
Shimmering
Dancing across the sky
And her love pulls on
My heart just like the
Moon on the tide
Where are you now
Her love it seems so far away
Lonely candle burns
A distant flame
Where are you now
It's hard to face another day
Darkness all around
I hope and pray
Her love still lights my way
10. Running Free
I was once such a lamb like you
So white and clean
Then the world got ahold of me
Now I'm a nightmare's dream
On my own like a shot in the dark
Racing down the road
On the loose like a hungry shark
Through the oceans cold
If I tried to fly
Would I get very high
Take a look here up on the stage
Tell me what do you see
A lonely man with a heart full of rage
Can you hear me scream
What do I want
What do I need
I can hear you say
My four best friends and this guitar
Is how I'll make my way
Now that you see me fly
C'mon reach for the sky
Don't try to hold me
Now I'm running free
Your preachers stone me
Now I'm running free
With the night
Because you need the dark to save the light
Don't try to hold me
Now I'm running free
Now we ride
All at once came a sound from above
But I don't have the time to make it
Every night in the crux of my soul
I just don't have the guts to fake it
I was born just to ramble about
No one is going to keep me down
Don't say you love me to keep me here
'Cause I will never settle down
I'm free
Every heart that I get on the road
I go and put them on a shelf
The road is hard that I'm traveling on
I got no room for someone else
Live every day just for makin' my way
I'm what you'd call a renegade
And like a bird I'm trapped
You've got my soul so open up this cage
I'm free
Don't you try to hold me
Now I'm running free
