  1. Abandoned
  I'm waiting around 'cause I haven't got paid yet 
 I'm banging my head on the side of the pavement 
 You're turning this into some kind of freak show 
 You gotta stop, I'm still waiting 
 
 Abandoned again 
 I tought you we're my friend 
 Abandoned again 
 I tought you we're my friend but you abandoned me again 
 
 You're flying your colors for all to see 
 You're fooling you're friends but you ain't fooling me, no 
 You closed the door and shut me out 
 What the hell ya' think I'm talking about? 
 
 Abandoned again 
 I tought you we're my friend 
 Abandoned so what? 
 Knife in my gut 
 No love is lost 
 Out if the grey, just go away 
 
 I've heard it all, enough of your bullshit 
 About your outh, it's time you closed it 
 You've burned all your bridges, there's nobody left 
 
 Abandoned again 
 I tought you we're my friend 
 Abandoned again 
 I tought you we're my friend but you abandoned me again
 
 
 
  2. Savior From Anger
  Hate is a killer in breeding frenzy 
 Growing faster becoming deadly. 
 Wake up, together. C'mon fight the beast: 
 Tyrant control in the Middle East 
 
 Poison, power. Driven by fury 
 Digital dictator, blackened expropriator 
 Deliver us from evil. Save the people 
 Contagion of hatred must be eliminated 
 
 Savior, 
 Save us from anger 
 Put to the test 
 Will we ever know? 
 
 The hunter, an animal without emotion. 
 Mechanical destruction, methodical corruption 
 Wake up, can't you see, the peace and harmony 
 Is there if you want it 
 
 Savior, 
 Save us from anger 
 Put to the test 
 Will we ever know?
 
 
 
  3. Down to the Temple
  Running the distance 
 Alive for the last time 
 
 Press on without question... without fear.. oh.. 
 Give to the moon-give to the sun 
 We're going 
 
 Down.. down.. down... 
 Down to the temple 
 Don't you know we're going down.. down.. down... 
 Down to the temple... 
 
 Down to the top see the king 
 Other men of the cloth in a frenzy 
 Scale the steps to forever 
 Blood and body racing... oh.. 
 
 Give to the moon give to the sun 
 We're going.. 
 
 Down... down.. down.. 
 Down to the temple 
 Oh we're going down.. down... down... 
 Down to the temple.. Clutch the bleeding heart! 
 
 [Lead] 
 
 Now I know without fear 
 The end is near 
 
 Give to the moon-give to the sun 
 We're going down.. down.. down.. 
 Down to the temple 
 
 Oh ohh we're going down... down.. down.. 
 Down to the temple 
 Clutch the bleeding heart
 
 
 
  4. Ship of Fools
  The key to love is understanding 
 Will it come down from above or will it fade away yeah 
 
 Ohh.. we can make it together 
 Take it in stride loving each other 
 
 Ship of fools take us away from here 
 What lies ahead is becoming all too clear 
 
 Listen and learn-we can start today 
 Oh can I trust you to trust me or will you throw my heart away 
 
 Ohh... we can make it together 
 Just one more try oh... oh... loving forever 
 
 Ship of fools-take us away from here 
 What lies ahead is becoming all too clear 
 
 [Lead] 
 
 Ship of fools take us away from here 
 What lies ahead is becoming all too clear 
 Ship of fools-oh take us away from here 
 What lies ahead is becoming all too clear
 
 
 
  5. Lady Took a Chance
  Alright 
 Oh, don't play with fire again 
 The pain becomes your only friend 
 You must see now a circle growing 
 Back to the point of soul determined 
 You take your chance when you play the game 
 Roll the dice 'cause you're allowed to win 
 Pick your number in back of the line 
 Check in the shorts for a holiday plan 
 Is to wear the shortest axe 
 You can do it again, yeah 
 
 * Well the lady took a chance 
 But there is no guarantees in romance 
 Although you may respect her 
 Your love will not protect her 
 
 The boys beat color others black and blue 
 Changes that you put me through 
 Know the hate all end up the same 
 The time has come to make me pray 
 You take your chance when you play the game 
 Roll the dice 'cause you're allowed to win 
 Pick your number in back of the line 
 Shark skin jacket with a tortoise in his pocket 
 She was never going anywhere 
 You ain't never coming back with her 
 
 (* Repeat) 
 
 The lady took a chance 
 And she lost lost lost lost lost 
 
 The lady took a chance 
 She really took a chance 
 The lady took a chance 
 She really took a chance 
 She lost 
 
 The lady took a chance 
 She really lost the fight 
 She stretched a little harder 
 Just to fleece her appetite 
 Yeah 
 
 The lady took a chance 
 She really took a chance 
 It all slipped away 
 In a voodoo dance 
 Tonight oh yeah 
 
 Ice cold day with sordid twitch 
 You can eat it on the run 
 Or you rub it on a stick tonight
 
 
 
  6. When Love Comes Down
  I should have seen it in your eyes, 
 The feelings trapped inside 
 You kept it hidden oh so well, 
 All the pain you must have felt. 
 
 I tried to tell you on the phone yesterday 
 I wanna be there for you now 
 
 I'll be there 
 When love comes down, 
 Alone no more 
 
 We're just strangers in the night 
 That drift away. 
 Reach out, come on, babe 
 Won't you reach out, take my hand? 
 We'll never drift away again 
 
 Just like I tell you on the phone everyday, 
 I wanna be there for you now. 
 
 I'll be there 
 When love comes down, 
 Alone no more 
 When love comes down 
 
 Don't ya' know that you're a part of me. 
 And this you can't deny 
 'Cause when we kiss, we just can't hide 
 Just look in my eyes. 
 Take me away. 
 
 When love comes down, 
 Don't run away, don't run away, don't run 
 We can go to the other side 
 When love comes down. 
 Got to have your lovin', oh 
 When love comes down. 
 I'll be there, you know I will, 
 When love comes down. 
 Got to have love, got to have love, 
 Got to have your love baby.
 
 
 
  7. March or Die
  March or die
 If you defy it
 We'll come smashing through
 Marching into glory ride
 The victory is due
 We wear the cross of evil
 And you take on the fight
 March or die it's a battle cry
 Prepare to ride tonight
 
 Chorus:
 You either march or die (march or die)
 It's a battle cry
 At the sounds of war March or die
 You either march or die (march or die)
 Not to wonder why
 It goes on and on - on and on in war
 
 [Vinnie Moore solo!]
 
 March or die
 The bodies fly
 And the battle has begun
 And who will last you or I?
 To see the final sun
 Onward raced the soldier
 lay or run before
 forward into battle
 marching into war
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Vinnie Moore solo!]
 
 March or die
 If you defy it
 We'll come smashing through
 Forging armor 'til the end
 The rest will come to you
 Forces of the wicked are pearing down on you
 March or die it's a battle cry
 The victory is due
 
 [Chorus]
 
 [Vinnie Moore solo!]
 
 
 
  8. Don't Wait For Me
  It's time we had a talk.

 No it won't take long, but it's getting very late 
 Don't put me off, you know I'll cut you down

 Don't... don't... don't wait for me 'cause I'll be on your tail 
 Don't..don't wait for me, don't you wait for me.. no no!! 
 
 I've been down... many times before 
 I've been around, seen it all and maybe more 
 But now I'm up...and gettin' higher yeah 
 Let's break the chains that's right 
 
 All night long... doin' what we've got to do, yeah 
 Well so long but you know I'm comin' after you! 
 
 Don't wait for me 
 Don't you wait for me 
 Don't.. don't...don't wait for me 'cause I'll be fuckin' on your tail 
 Don't.. don't wait for me.. don't you wait for me... no no!! 
 Don't you wait for me no no!!!
