forever
Come inside, you're welcome in here
Welcome to now and forever
Close the door, there is nothing to fear in here

Don't betray the things you love
They put you down but you can rise above
The meaning of the words are clear
My pretty ones, come closer so you hear

When time play in the back of our minds
We're so blind to all of the good things we'll find

Welcome to now and forever
Come inside, yes you're welcome in here
Welcome to now and forever
Close the door, you have nothing to fear from me

Don't let your dreams be scattered in the dust
Where all hope is gone
And memories are lying there like rust
If the devil takes your hand just scream

Welcome to now and forever
Come inside, yes you're welcome in here
Welcome to now and forever
Close the door, there is nothing to fear in here
Welcome to now and forever


Wounded Land


There's a silence you hear when your poor heart stops beating
I remember that sound from the days when I was young
I struggled for peace now I'm to tired to wander
This land that was ours, now I can see that it's gone

I called this land my home

Why did you come here? Why do you slay?
With love you could have all the answers

We lost one thousand years
Lived through the fire and rain
Lived through the fear and shame
Lived through the hurt and pain
Now we're lost forever in this Wounded Land

There's a song from the east that you will remember
Write the words down and follow the Eastern Star
You're the bringer of death, destroyer of worlds
A mother lies weeping for all that she's lost in this world

It I live one thousand years
Lost for a thousand years
Lost in the Valley of Tears
Lost but we learn to survive
One day we'll reclaim and heal this Wounded Land
Wounded Land
Wounded Land
Wounded Land

Lost for a thousand years
Lost in the Valley of Tears
Lost but we learn to survive
Now we rise to take and heal this Wounded Land


Future Rising


Thought I saw my Future Rising and then
I watched your eyes turned cold
I lost my faith in magic and through this
World I walk alone
Theres a trick of the light
Sweet call on the wind
My master of pain and illusion walks in

Spirit of light...Points a finger
Spirit of light...Come to save us to
The temple of fools
The tower of sin
Spirit of light...Points a finger
Spirit of light...Come to save us to
The temple of fools
The tower of sin

Through the long dark days I wonder
No stars to light my way back home
I found no trace of Angels
I curse the demons in my mind
There's a trick of the light, sweet call
On the wind
My master of pain and illusion walks in

Spirit of light...Points a finger
Spirit of light...Come to save us to
The temple of fools
The tower of sin
Spirit of light...Points a finger
Spirit of light...Come to save us to
The temple of fools
Where well all meet again in the wind


Passion To Warfare


Understanding, trying to make sense of it all
I throw my hand in, I wasn't prepared for the fall

Sleep in despair with the cruel words we have strewn
Sleep in the knowledge you bring about my ruin

From passion to warfare my time is now at hand
Lost in the madness of what was once our love

Can you remember the night when we crossed on the stairs
In that moment the answer to all of my prayers

How well you fooled me with whispers in the night
So careless I fell for this love that wasn't right

From passion to warfare my time is now at hand
I'm so lost in the madness of what was once our love

It was only love
It was only love
But I can still feel the pain all night
And I cry alone

From passion to warfare my time is now at hand
I'm lost in the madness of what was once our love
From passion to warfare my time is now at hand


21st Century Man


One world, caught up in the middle
How do you know who to belive
One truth, it must be out there somewhere
Can we find it?

Breakdown in communication
Information overload
We're lost, forever seeking answers
What's the question?

Do you believe in Heaven?
Do you believe in Hell?
If you open your eyes
Then you'll become a 21st century man
That's what I am

Outside, messiahs by the dozen
Showing us the light and the way
Control, for keeping down the masses
Dn't believe it

The walls of freedom start to crumble
All they do is lie to your face
The world is screaming out as one
"Not in my name"

Still believe in Heaven?
Still believe in Hell?
Open your eyes
Then you'll become a 21st century man

Do you believe in Heaven?
Do you believe in Hell?
If you open your eyes
Then you'll become a 21st century man
That's what I am

Living, living
Living in the 21st century


House Of Nevermore


There was a time when I knew we'd be lonely
One last kiss then we had to move away
We had our chance and we burned in the starlight
Then our song was carried on the wind

I can still remember I can still you face from before
Always remember some love leads to the
House of Nevermore

Sweet angel of the street come dance with me
With your eyes as black as a moonlessnight
Sweet angel of the street come dance with me
You carried my cross and I let you down

There was a time when I called you my lover
That time has passed I want see you anymore
I keep the pain of the night far behind me
Another road to the house of nevermore

I still remember the curse and the sting of your kiss
Dont cry for mercy you know that's one thing
I'll never give

Sweet angel of deceit come dance with me
With your heart as black as a moonlessnight
Sweet angel of deceit come dance with me
Nail me to your cross and let me cry

Always remember some love leads to the
House of Nevermore

If I take the road to the house of nevermore
Who will be waiting to open up your door
I fall asleep in the house of nevermore
If I should wake will I find the door?


When The Hammer Falls


Mother Mary walk beside me to the waters edge
A kiss has brought my world down
Pray the living God won't find us, drinking with his friend
All we need we'll find here

My world has come undone, I've done my best
My world's a crazy Sunday, you'll find there's nothing left

When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls

Judas screams and darkness turns the day into night
See your dream has ended much too soon

My world has come undone, did I pass the test
My world's a crazy Sunday, there'll be nothing left

When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls

I saw the horizon, the shame and the pitiful greed
Where the power corrupts all we see
You sent me a light for the world, now it's all going wrong
And everyone looks to the East to see the Son

Don't cry for holiness, you can't bare the pain
My world has come undone, there will be nothing left

When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls


Some People Fly


I saw an angel, who lost her wings today
A delicate whisper, a symphony for hear aching beauty
Naked and frightened, I watch her crawl away
She may have touched the face of god and found she could not stay
So bitter and twisted a purely human stain
A gentle hand to brush away the tears of crushed frustration

Oh no, they build you up just to watch you stumble
Oh Destiny

Cause some people fly
Fly high on wings of fortune
Don't you cry, a change is in the wind
You fly, fly high on wings of fortune
Don't deny, a change is gonna come
You fly

You tasted the poison, from the cup of life
Not all you wanted, not at all the things you hoped for
So live with the madness live without the fear
Superstition is for those who can't control their own fate

Oh no, they build you up just to watch you crumble
Oh Destiny

Cause some people fly
Fly high on wings of fortune
Don't you cry, a change is in the wind
You fly, fly high on wings of fortune
Don't deny, a change is gonna come
You fly

You say love will last forever
But it wont, but it wont, but it wont


Once Upon Our Yesterdays


All is lost and nothing won
Love is gone and the suffering has just begun
In between what might have been
Love was an illusion when it drew me in

What was real in the heat of the night
Leaves me cold in the first light of morning
To my shame I told another lie
All that's left is the haunting

And the rain falls like mist on the chances I missed
It was on a night like this, when she sold me my first kiss
When she sold me my first kiss
Once upon our yesterdays

As she spoke fire danced in her eyes
Burned my hope with the heat of this nightmare
When we walked, she told of our time
Nothing left but the wanting

Still the rain falls like mist, on the lover I've kissed
It was on a night like this, when she sold me my first kiss
When she sold me my first kiss
Once upon our yesterdays
Yesterdays
Once upon our yesterdays
Yesterdays
Once upon our yesterdays

It was on a night like this, close your eyes and dream
And the rain falls like mist, on the chances we missed
It was on a night like this, when you sold me my first kiss

Once upon our yesterdays
Yesterdays
Once upon our yesterdays
Once upon our yesterdays
Never forever, only in your dreams
Never forever, I remember the kiss, I remember a night like this
Yesterdays


Hour Of Doom


Here in the silence of this empty room
Flickering light is fading much too soon
Watching the candles burn
In this hour of doom
In these hours you sleep

Here in the coldness of my empty bed
Thinking of all the lies and words we said
Watching life fade too soon
In this hour of my doom
In this cold empty room

Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom

Here in the black hole of my emptiness
Knowing he watches as you get undressed
Knowing he's touching you
Brings the hour of my doom
To my cold empty room

Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom

Feel his fingers crawl across your skin tonight
I can't wait until the dawn
Soon it will be over, soon it will be done
I'll spend eternity alone

Alone
Alone

In this cold empty room
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom


Singing Alone


No regrets as I look back, the final curtain call
Spotlight fading on the ceiling
Time has caught me now, laughing in the wings
No choir, no angels sing

I'm singing alone one time tell me can you hear me?
There is nothing on the stage anyway

Raise a glass and remember, everything is fine
Now my time is finally over
Shed no tears for me, just hold me for a while
I found peace here in your arms

Singing alone one time tell me can you hear me?
There is nothing on the stage anyway


Black masquerade


I know the key to secrets never told
They're hidden in your soul
Feelings you hide, never wanting me to find
Oh, they've always been mine

Release all the madness within
Let it all begin
Now you'll see, oh, the dark side of me
In our black masquerade

Let the moonlight surround you
The game that we play is the black masquerade

The full moon unmasks the stranger in us all
And the cruel world takes its toll
The shadow is cast on who you used to be
Oh, let me set you free

Come now, oh, come take my hand
Then you'll understand
We'll go to that forbidden land
Of our black masquerade

Let the darkness surround you
The game that we play is the black masquerade

Release all the madness within
Let it all begin
We'll go to that forbidden land
Come, let me take you there

Let the moonlight surround you
Don't be afraid, it's the black masquerade


Scream


I am cast of flesh and blood, you are carved from misery and stone
Lost beneath the neon of the city, no sanctuary, no home
But fate hold out his withered hand to take me on

In time you taste a cruel embrace, a faceless lover's ice-cold kiss, a comfort zone
Open up and say you're hurting, a little scared and so uncertain, all alone
But fate holds out his withered hand to lead me home

Scream for the lonely child of emptiness
Scream, scream for the lonely child of pain
We'll scream

Cry yourself to endless sleep, cast out all the secrets that you keep
Take my hand, I'll be your guide, we'll walk together till the kiss of morning light
So safe, in arms of this sweet dreamer, come to me

Just scream for the lonely child of emptiness
Scream, scream for the lonely child of pain
We'll scream
Just scream
And cry our tears

But fate holds out his withered hand to lead me home
Just scream before your heart turns to stone

Scream for the lonely child of emptiness
Scream, scream for the lonely child of pain
We'll scream for the lonely child of emptiness
Scream, scream for the lonely child of pain
The sadness fills the air


Unchosen One


Here we sit at the edge of the world
It's a long way to fall from here
If your Faith can move mountains then why
Are you scared to come here to me

And we all know the prayers that the innocents cry
When we ask for the truth, they just offer us lies
In the daylight we pray that the night will not come
When they offer the feast,
To the Unchosen One

At the feast let us all gather round, raise a glass to
These powers unknown
Fallen from grace, we've fallen so far
We can't heal the wounds, we can't heal the scars

And we hide from the sin as our world comes undone
And we bite at the heels of the priviledget
And we look to the past as we bury our dead
And we offer our lives
To the Unchosen One

Here we sit at the edge of the world
It's a long way to fall from here
If your Faith can move mountains then why
Are you scared to come here to me

And we all know the prayers that the innocents cry
When we ask for the truth, they just offer us lies
In the daylight we pray that the night will not come
When they offer the feast,
To the Unchosen One
Offer the feast to the Unchosen One
To the Unchosen One

Hide from the sun
Hide from these powers unknown


I'm Alive


I feel like a stranger today
the world keep's spinning around
something is moving in the clay
as I try to get my feet back
on the ground

But just like in sand
In which nothing will grow
I'm raw as a naked scarecrow

One seed in my hand
beats to survive
and the best of me comes out alive

I'm alive
I followed a clue miles away
directions still unknown
I'm circling like this everyday
and scared by the sound of rattling stones
When all colours turn into grey
and the clouds are hanging low

I will hide all my seeds in the clay
longing for a rainy day to show
Wind me up lock me up
I've been through changes
I've learned to survive
and the best of me comes out alive


Midnight In Tokyo


Shout it out
Under neon skies the hot night city streets
You are the master of your own fate
All that you have heard, this place where
Dreams come true
Is not so very far from you
You are never alone here

Spotlight flashes bright and blinds you
Where you stand
Lighting up this sea of hands
Screaming voices rise and slowly die away
Burned in the memory of the day
You can soak up the nightlife at the
Lexington Queen

Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo

Speeding faster than a buller from a gun
Through the mountains we will run
Kiss Osaka then its on to old Kyoto
Where you know were gonna shine
I can never belong here but I don't want
To go home

Shout it out
Midnight in Tokyo
