2. Crazy Doctor

Just when I thought my

life was rising

The doctors left me here

to die...

Trapped in a cage, looked

in a prison

Won't someone break this

cursed lie!

These walls are cold

behind the steel door

Hear me scream, I'm

beggin' to be free...

My senses wonder am I

dead or alive

I hear the devil laugh at

me

Everyday no way out

Everyday nowhere to run

They're coming after me

Doctors with their pain...

Take me away from hereforever

Take me away from here

forever


forever


forever


forever

Take me away from hereforever

3. Esper

A hurricane, alive with

death and danger

She struck me down,

made me feel the powerCrazy guys, you'd better

fear the reaper

Believe it now... it's

mystic power!

After the storm, I see

there's nothing standing

Death and destruction,

corpses fill the city

I am reborn from those

who died before meBelieve it now... it's

mystic power!

Oh yeah, never ending

fire, energy

Oh yeah, secret mystery,

energy

YOU - ARE - ESPER!

ESPER! ESPER! ESPER!

You'll never know the

feelings I have tasted

You'll never see,

sensations I have wasted

The universe is open now

before me

Sing me away... it'smystic power

4. Butterfly

Woman, you are a

butterfly

Dancing fire with savage

grace

Man to man you freely

ramble

Change your mind you

change your face

Don't keep me waiting all

night long

Don't keep me crying all

night long

Don't take me down

Don't bring me down

Tellin' lies are what

you're good for

What's this game you

play?

I come close you keep

your distance

I'm falling victim to your

ways

Tell me if you still feelthe same way for me

Tell me if you don't love

me any more

Oh no, anymore

Oh no, anymore

5. Revelation

Mother! The sea is deepand wide


2/23

Mother! Always by your

side

Your love is forever

You gave me everything

Father! Wishing I wasyou

Father! Good and strong

as you

My love is forever

You taught me everything

Don't break the chains

you hold

You'd better believe the

things you're told

They gave you everythingYour name, your place in

time

Go and show the people

the way to live

The time has come to

give it all you got to give

Go and show the people

the way to live

Don't forget, remember

that love is forever

Brother! Don't wait for no

one

Brother! Rising with the

sun

Everything is up to you

Every word is true

6. Exploder

[Instrumental]

7. Dream Fantasy

The night comes down on

the streets of this town

Darkness is king, no

shadows fall over meI come alive with the

night, you can't tie me

down

It's my fantasy, it's my

daydream

Thousands of womenstanding on the streets

Each one is calling me,

"Come to me," oh yeah!

I search the city streets,

one girl is all I need

She's my fantasy, She's

my daydream

Wooh no, dream fantasy

Under the spell of a foxy

girlWooh yeah, dream

fantasy, steal away!

Dream on, dream on, steal

away!

Dream on, steal away!

She sells dreams in the

heat of the night

My heat is victim to the

game she plays

She won't tease me

I know she'll never leave

me

Dreams come true

She's the world to me...

fantasy

8. Milky Way

A million stars above me

only one life to count

them all

A thousand years of

wishes for a simple man

Milky Way

Look as far as the eye can

see

Try, if you can, to

understandI'm just a man of a planet

in a galaxy

Milky Way

We are children of the

universe

We are the firstOne by one we seek to

reach the stars

The future's ours

People are people

We all live to play this

game

We turn on the wheel by

stairways to the stars

Milky Way

9. Satisfaction

Let's make a noise, here

and now, all right

Are you feeling good?

Nothing can stop you

tonightSatisfaction guaranteed

tonight!

You want to rock and

roll? You want it loud?

We'll drive you crazy,

knockin' our heads

Cause we're proud

Satisfaction guaranteed

Would you like to rock

and roll all night long?

All night long, ooh yeah

right, feeling good

10. Ares Lament

You make me smile when

I think of you

Although you're manymiles away, far away

But my heart's lonely, I

love you still

This clown can't laugh

today

My arms are open for you

I need to hold you closer

Can't you see, you leave

me so breathless

Why do you do this to me

I can't go on without you

I'll never leave you any

more

I am so lonely, so what

can I do?

Oh baby, oh baby

I am so lonely, so lonely

for you

Oh baby, oh baby

I have nowhere to go, no

one to hold

Nothing to keep me here,

I've thrown it all away

My heart is lonely, but

still I'll try

This clown won't cry

today

The sound hits you in the

face, alrightOhh, let's get so crazy

tonight

2. Like Hell

So many times, I've been

lost

And blinded by the light

Caught up in a maze

Now I feel just like a wolf

Who forgot how to fight

And frozen by the haze

I was a hungry mean

beast

I'll never be satisfied

Always looking for the

next feast

Wailing for the next ride

* Like hell, I'm gonna do

it like hell

Like hell, I'm gonna rock

you like hell

Like hell, I'm comin' at

you like hellLike hell, I'm gonna

shock you like hell

Just one more sip to ease

my thirst

Another for the fire

That's all I need

The time has come to

break the spell

Or give in to desire

There ain't no in between

No, I won't stay and takeit

Get caught up, standing

still

Looking for a day to

shake it

Looking for the kill

[* Repeat]

No more hiding in the

shadows

Runnin' from the light

No more cryin' when thewind blows


4/23

Howling at the night

3. Heavy Chains

She wants to run, goin'

on,

point of no return

No looking back, hope is

gone,

just a slow burning

Lost without love, so she

tries

to get all she can

Into the night, desperate

eyes,

look for helping hands

Like a scream, the siren's

call

Now it seems she's lost to

all

Moving slow, and trapped

in pain

Don't run with heavy

chains

What's left is torn apartHeavy chains on heavy

heart

Her broken life

Her broken heart

Broken promises lost and

found

Just a knife

Into her heart

Keeping her down

What's left is ripped apart

Heavy chains on heavyheart

Broken pieces of life

Broken pieces of heart

Broken pieces of

promises lost and found

Heavy chains like a knife

Cutting into her heart

Keeping her down

Ohh, heavy chains!

4. Get Away

Get away, I'm warning

you

Get away, I'm telling you

Watch what you say

On the danger wayGet away, let's shake it

Get away, let's break it

Ain't safe to play

On the danger way

Without concrete, you'd

be lost

Without hot wheels, you'd

be lost

Without chain link, you'd

be lost

Without cold steel, you'dbe lost

* Don't look back, run for

cover

Save yourself, save your

lover

Overkill, undercover

Hit and run at midnight

Get away, stop losing

Get away, I'm cruising

Every day

On the danger way

Get away, go faster

Get away, disaster

Ricochet

On the danger way

Without shadows, you

could die

Without leather, you

could die

Without fighting, you

could dieWithout switchblades,

you could die

[* Repeat]

Without concrete, you'd

be lost

Without cold steel, you'd

be lost

Without fighting, you

could die

Without switchblades,

you could die

[* Repeat]

5. We Could Be

Together

* I got your real love,

baby

I got everything on my

side

I got your real love, baby

I wanna keep you

satisfied

** Can't you see I'm so

true

I'm crazy for you

So spend your life with

me

That's all you can do

* We could be together

We could be together

I want your real love,

baby

I'll get you everything that

you need

I want your real love,baby

I'll try to keep you

satisfied

[** Repeat]

[* Repeat]

I don't wanna hurt you

You don't need the pain

Don't you know that I

need to

Love you again

6. Run For Your Life

Taken in the frozen dawn

No way out still holding

on

Empty hands, full of pain

Reaching for the rain

Let me go now

No where to run

Under the gun


5/23

* Run for your life

Run from the fire

Want to survive

Run for your life

Nothing but the night

existsDark the cold wet mist

Trapped in time with no

way out

Can't you hear me shout

Let me go now

Open the cell

I can't take this hell

[* Repeat]

[Solo]

[* Repeat]

Want to surviverun for your life

7. Clockwork Toy

Sometimes I scream,

sometimes I cry

Sometimes I just lie in

illusionSome nights I shake,

some nights I sweat

Some nights I'm just wet

with confusion

* Don't do this, don't do

that

Don't look back, you

might stumble

Don't say yes, don't say

no

Don't let go, or yourtumble down

Some days I kick, some

days I bite

Some days I must fight

the reaction

Sometimes I win,

sometimes I lose

Sometimes I'm just

bruised by the action

** Now you have the

power to destroyClockwork people just

like clockwork toy

Don't try to tell me your

fantasy

It's my life

You try to tell me what's

right for meTurn the knife, twist the

key

[* Repeat]

[** Repeat]

Now we have the power

to destroy

Clockwork people just

like clockwork toy

8. No Way Out

Lost in the underground

Lookin' for daylight

Afraid darkness

And surrounded by the

light

Screaming I shout

There's no way out

You said goodby so coldI stood in wonder

Shocked by the silence

Shaken by the thunder

Screaming I shout

There's no way out

* I ask questions and you

tell me lies

Try to make you but I'm

hypnotized

Am I over you? I got my

doubtsI try everything, there's no

way out

I walk the streets at night

I hear your laughter

The voices in my head

They don't mind, I don't

matter

Screaming I shout

There's no way out

Watching the hours crack

Still have that feelin'Darkness attacks the wall

I hit the ceiling

Screaming I shout

There's no way out

[* Repeat]

** You got your vain

excusesI got my anger

One fight, guess who

loses

That's what tortures me

[*, ** Repeat]

There's no way out!

9. The Lines Are

Down

You cry, darkness listens

You hide, sudden sorrow

Black and blue

When fever builds inside

you

Your body shivers hot

and cold at night

Hold on tight

You know the power's outYou can't leave

Now that your heart is

pounding, energy

Shattered, afraid to show

it

Don't let the crazy

madness pull you in

Fight to win

Looks like your life is

crashing

You're on the razor's edgeIt's hard to know

Don't let go

The night is blowing cold

You can't leave

Twisted by silence and

the agony

* Lines are down

everywhere

Something's under the

stair

Lines are downThe razor's edge


6/23

Cry for me

You cry darkness listens

You hide, sudden sorrow

fights at you

Break on through

Lights out, someone'swatching

Lookin' for the images to

cut and run

Load your gun

One shot, squeeze the

trigger

Make them leave

Left in the night, the only

enemy

[* Repeat]

10. Never Change

Your Mind

Got a new hair style I see

And you're dressed to kill

Bright coloured lipstick

for me

But against my willPlease don't go changin'

You're gonna change your

mind

Please never change your

mind

I look at you, head to toe

But it don't seem right

All this fashion for show

Happened overnight

I've got your number

It's only changin' timesPlease never change your

mind

* Hear me when I'm

sayin'

How my love grows

Given time and a chance,

you'll see

Things are always

cahngin'

That's how love goes

Don't go changin' a thingfor me

1. Let It Go

Driving to the top of thecity,

Drive until I reach the

view,

Where we used to try and

see,

Our dream come true,

Stop the car, light a

cigarette,

Fill the air with the radio,

And there's nothing I cando,

But think of you,

I was the one who talked

about the other man,

I thought he was my

friend, but you had other

plans,

I just can't take that

chance,

There ain't no looking

back,

Just a victim of

circumstance,

I helped you fall in love

so,

Let it go!Let it go! (Let it go!)

Let it go!

Let it go!

Let it go!

When I dial your

telephone number,

It's like I'm never home,

But I know it isn't true,

What's he doing with

you?

I don't like to sleep alone,

no

Doesn't seem to bother

you,

As long as you are having

fun,

You don't care what you

do,



I thought he was my


plans,

It's all gone by so fast,


back,

Just a victim of

circumstance,

I helped you fall in loveso,

Let it go! (Let it go!)

Let it go! (Ooh, Let it!)

5. Who Knows

I've been captured by

fantasy

Woke up inside her

jealousy

Who knows, what she

needs

I am moving at my ownspeed

She spins a web inside

my mind

But the spell of her dance

is leaving me blind

Torn myself on with from

her grasp

Get away, this tempting

won't last

Who knows, what she

needs

I turn around, she reaches

for me


my mindBut the spell of her dance

is leaving me blind

Time to take a stand!

Chasing after me

Take a stand and see!

-It isn't worth it


How long? how long?

Try to make a scene!

It's a nightmare

Who knows, what she

needs

I am moving at my own

speed


my mind

But the spell of her dance

is leaving me blind


It's happening to me

Take a stand and see!

She's not worth it


How long? how long?

how long?

Try to make a scene!

She's a nightmare

6. Ashes In The Sky

I never talk to guardian

angels, never look at evil

past

The dying swan of sad

Vanish like a soldier'sdeath,

Hear the breath of moving

thunder.

Red hot blow the ashes to

the sky...

Shadows of war,screamin' past lies

Shadows of war,

emotional ties

It comes, a deeper

nightmare.

Fly me away to the holy

place

Can the keepers guide

forever

Will they make us pay?We are born again like a

phoenix passing,

Vanish like a soldier's

death,

Hell.....Hear the thunder crashing

through the night

Storm clouds brewing in

the East

Out in the East, see the

fire blazing out of sight

Tempest raging from the

Beast

Where can we go?

In the spirit of survival

Undercover in the danger

zone

All the nations will be

glowing

On their way to hell

Death and danger on the

horizon

Terror all across the land

Feel the power, weapons

of destructionSoldiers take the final

stand

Who's in command

Can you feel the wind is

blowing

Falling angels on the high

frontierReaching out in

desperation

On their way to push the

button down

S.D.I.

They're going all the way

S.D.I.

Such a foolish game

S.D.I.

There's no one left toblame

S.D.I.

Angels of death are

marching closer

The last supper's held

Here in the land you'll see

no more

I'll see you in hell

They call it war

They call it war

S.D.I., S.D.I., S.D.I.

Hear the thunder crashing

through the night

See the fire blazing out of

sight

S.D.I., S.D.I., S.D.I.

S.D.I.

2. This Lonely Heart

I hear the sound of a

heartache

I hear the cries of a lonely

heart

I got to know where I'm

going

I feel the light of this love

grow dark

Blinded by faithStill I keep waiting for


11/23

you, for you

Run with the night, love,

running blind

I'm losing you

I feel the flames of yourfire

I feel the touch of your

racy eyes

I know I'm cursed, with a

fever

I feel the wind of your

hurricane lies

Blinded by faith

Still I keep waiting for

you, for you

Run with the night, love,running blind

I'm losing you

This lonely heart

This lonely night, is

turning my world into

This lonely heart can't see

the light

To find my way back to

you

This lonely heart

This lonely night

Baby I'm losing you

3. Rock 'n' Roll

Gypsy

I feel the touch of a

midnight loverI need the heat of a

summer night

Makes me feel alright

I feel the pulse of the city

lights

Wanna catch the tail of a

shooting star

Getting out too far

I can't hold back the

feeling

Can't let my dreams cometumbling down

I live for the sounds on

the radio

Oh, you know

My tongue is dry, gimmeone more Jack

Set 'em up, gonna throw

that whiskey down

I am spinning round

round round

The music lights my soul

on fire

Want it all, wanna take

this town alive

Gonna make it mine

Don't tell me I can't makeit

I got a dream and it just

aren't gonna die

Give me the chance to

blow you away

What I say, yeah

I make you feel good

Like a rock 'n' roll gypsy


Like a rock 'n' roll gypsy


Like a rock, let me roll

I am a gypsy, let me go

Show me where to run

Show me where to go

Baby I don't know

Show me where to run

Oh yeah

Show me where to goI love it when you talk to

me

4. In My Dreams

In my dreams, I was

walking alone

The rain falling on my

emptinessIn my dreams, I'm a long

way from home

I walk through the gates

of loneliness

I thought the love we had

was in vain

And Just another storyMy frozen tears, like the

wind against the rain

Slipping from my eyes

In my dreams, in my

dreams, without you

In my dreams, shadows

fall on my face

And every corner is a

different place

In my vision, I wouldknock on your door

I'd lost all that I was

searching for

I thought the sun had

come to an end

And you were gone

forever

A change of heart, like

the echoes in the dark

I fade into the sea

In my dreams, I was

turning to stone

Until you opened up my

eyes

Whoa, whoa...

5. Take Me Home

6. Strike Of The

Sword

Somebody saw the birds

in flight

Higher higher we learned

to fly

Someone discovered

space twilight


12/23

Brighter brighter up

through the sky

Call it bold technology

Some progress oh no

Someone created lifeSurprise 'em, switch and

clone 'em, walking lies

Somebody went through

time last night

Faster faster speed on

goodbye


Some progress oh no

Meant to save humanity

Come on can't you see?

Strike of the sword

And we're through

Strike of the sword

Just won't do

Strike of the sword

Still a conflict could just

be the last

Yes, it could just be the

last

Watch it lead mass

destruction


Some progress oh no

Meant to save humanity

Come on can't you see?

Strike of the sword

And we're through

Strike of the swordJust won't do

Strike of the sword

Still a conflict could just

be the last

Yes, it could just be the

last

7. Rock This Way

We're going to rock you

Hey girl, it's over now

Blame it on the world, or

Nobody's gonna hurt ya

There's no turning back

And hey girl, that's theway it should be

Highway in the sky

Shaking at the wheel

One of these days, you're

gonna find it out

Hey girl, you're much tooyoung

Your daddy says, better

But hey girl, you got

Ain't no satisfaction when

One of these days, you're

8. In This World

Beyond

This barren town of Kiev

Not a soul in sight

Only complete

destruction

Cry of the slow dusty

wind

I hear the gods

premonition

It plays in my mind

Leave well enough alone

over and over again

In this world beyond

Lost forever


We remember

Oh, never, never again

Your nuclear reactors

Exploding into the skyNo harmony with nature

Destined to die if we don't

try

All warrings were ignored

Indirectly we killed

And created wasted lands

next door to hell


Lost forever


We rememberOh, never, never

Our lust it knows no limit

We've ignited this bomb

Everything will turn to

ashes

All our chances are gone

Better change the plans

together

Or live in this world

beyond

9. Hungry Heart

Wild fire, he's a runaway

Looking to be free, got to

breakawayPassion when his bullet

finds the mark

Like a wolf he's on the

prowl with a hungry heart

He's a hungry hunter

Hungry, hungry hunter,

hungry

Pleasure when he takes

you by the hand

In a bed of fire makes you

understand

Understand the danger he

trapped you with his will

Take you in his arms, he

shoots to kill

Cold hungry hunter

Hungry, got nowhere to

run and nowhere to hide

Chained to his soulChained to his lies

Plays with a passion he

fights to the death

Stealing your heart and

your last dying breath

Danger through his fire

and ice

The chance you take

better think twice

Danger with a vengeance

he playsHis thirst for love, you're

the game he plays

10. So Lonely

So far away

You've been gone all the

while

I'm feeling lonely like ahomeless child

This clown pretends

everything's all right

While his heart is breakin'

inside

So lonely, so lonely foryou

Oh baby, oh baby

I'm so lonely

What can I do

I'm trapped

I'm livin' without you

You're all that I have

I can't leave you behind

The touch of your love

Oh it burns me insideI should break away

But I've nowhere to run

I'm trapped


Love gone wrong

Love gone blind

Tears may flow

Till the end of time

Can't let go

To what I left behind

I've awaited too long

So lonely, so lonely for

you

Oh baby, oh baby

I'm so lonely

What can I do

I'm trapped

charms around you

3. Danger Of Love

You live the life of a

stranger

You try to hide from

yourselfBut now you're living in

danger

Of loving somebody else

In the broken silence of

your cries

You make it easy to see

Like a prisoner lost in

your disguise

And that's why you'll

always be...


15/23

(Pain) Pay for your

pleasure, look out

The danger of love

(Pain) Pay for the danger,

look out

It's the danger of love

Nobody knows you've got

troubles

That's why you came to

this place

And this masquerade is

just your way

Of hiding tears on your

face

Before you let things gotoo far

You've got to tear down

the wall

And the mask I see is

telling me

You ran away from it

all...

(Pain) Closer to danger,

look out

The danger of love

(Pain) Stranger in danger,

look out

Yeah, the danger of love

(Pain) Pays for the

pleasure, look out

It's the danger of love

(Pain) Pay for the danger,

look out

The danger of love

[Solo]

[Repeat and fade out]

4. Twenty-Five Days

I've been searching

through this heart of mine

Feeling captured by aworld of changes

Silent pictures in the

course of time

Lead me gently through

the open pages

How long can we keepholding on

Are we only a step away

What's left when all the

hope is gone

Leaving only the pain -

deep inside

I remember how it used to

be

Long before we felt the

hand of sorrowHolding traces of a

memory

On empty pages where

there's no tomorrow

How long can we keep

holding on

Are we only a step away

What's left when all the

hope is gone

Leaving only the pain -

deep inside

[Chorus:]

Now I can't believe you

left me just

Twenty-five days from

home

You've taken my dreams

And left me just twenty-

five days from homeNow I can't explain

Nothing's the same

without your love


home

No, I can't believe I'm

alone


home

[Solo]

[Chorus]

5. Red Light Shooter

Breakin' the law, takin'

my chances

Ain't gonna drag me

down

Midnight cruiser in a

black sedan

I'm gonna shake this

town.

I'm a red light shooter,

win or loser

And when I come around

Take it, I'm ready, movin'

hot n' steady

When the sun goes down.

Over and over

Wondering who it'll be

Over and over

This time - there's no

stopping me

[Chorus:]

Red light shooter, I'm a

win or loser

Red light shooter

Reaching out in

desperation

Red light shooter, I'm a

win or loser

Red light shooter

Turning on to yourtemptation

Over and over again...

Takin' a shot, showin' no

mercy

I got my eye on you

Take me undercover like

a hungry lover

And do me like you do

Over and overWondering how it could


16/23

be

Over and over

Your eyes are all I can

see.

[Chorus]

[Solo]

[Chorus]

6. Running For Cover

Gimme shelter, cold was

the night, fires burn deep

in the sky.

I been trying so hard just

to weather the storm in

your eyes

Like a stranger, fire and

ice, diamonds that shine

in the dark

You look, but don't touch,

oh I want her so much

She says burn.

Take no prisoner, steal

your soul

Give you no quarter, and

never let go

All through the night,

she's tempting your fate

Gives you no choice, you

can't hesitate

[Chorus:]Running for cover, run

for your life

Running for cover, you

got no place to hide

Running for cover, do it

or die

Running for cover, you'd

better run for your life

Heartbreaker, never look

back,Run from the sounds of

her love

So cold like the steel on a

blade

Cutting straight through

my heart.


your soul

Give me no quarter, and

never let go

All through the night, still

tempting my fate

Gave me no choice, I

can't hesitate

[Chorus 2:]

Running for cover, runfor your life


got no place to hide

Running for cover, run

for your life

Running for cover, oh

you do it or die

[Solo]


my soul

Give me no quarter, and

never let go

All through the night, just

tempting my fate

Gives me no choice, I

can't hesitate

[Chorus 3:]

Running for cover, runfor your life


do it or die

Running for cover, no

place to hide

Running for cover, oh

you do it or die

7. Lost Without Your

Love

Run from the night, your

blind love is burnin'

Through your eyes, my

empty world is turning

Without you now, tell mehow to just let you go

I'm a victim of your

touch, your fire

You burn me deep inside

Wild wind carry me away

Out on my own, crying in

the rain

Gave me no warning,

cold winds are blowin'I'm so lost without your

love

Gave me no warning,

cool fire, lost emotion

I'm so lost without your

love

[Solo]

Lost in a dream, the wild

wind is calling

I can't get free, my soul

forever falling

Alone in your love,

shattered love, crying in

the rain

Now I'm dancing in the

shadow of love, oh yeah

Voices screaming in the

dark

I'm all alone, stranger onthe run

[Repeat chorus]

8. Faces In The Fire

Fading lights, broken

hearts, I left them all

behindTurned to stone, I chose


17/23

to roam the wild land

Broken dreams and pools

of tears, there's nothing

left it seems

Came the night to see my

life unfold

[Chorus:]

I see the faces in the fire,

still burning

I feel the hunger of the

flame of love, and it's

reaching to me

I see the faces in the fire,

and I'm learning

I'm just a fool in Paradise,

and I'll never get free.

I turned away so long

ago, looking for the

change

My promises, they rode

upon the wild wind

Came the night the air

was cold, a flood of

memories

Coming back to haunt my

empty soul

[Chorus]

Faces in the fire....

[Solo]

[Chorus]

9. Long After

Midnight

I can feel her touch from

far away

That woman don't have to

say

Hey baby it's time, it's

you I want tonight

I love her walk, the wayshe moves

She drinks my blood 'til I

come unglued

She's so tough, but she's

smooth, baby, smooth on

the edge

Find a way to make her

mine

Find a way to cross the

line

Take in my arms and

make believe

Tell you how she'll never

let me leave

[Chorus 1:]

Long after midnightShe'll be comin', a ghost

in the moonlight

Long after midnight

My body's frozen, she's

comin' for me tonight

She's a fantasy, a question

mark

No way to hold her

beyond the dark

A mystery, burning me,

shadow in my heart.

Find a way beyond the

dream

Find a way to stop the

scream

Takin' all I got, you make

me feel

The poison deep inside is

finally real, yeah

[Chorus 2:]

Long after midnight

Now I feel her draggin'

from the light

Long after midnight

Now I touch her, there's

no escape

When the candle burns

beyond the nightAnd I stand on my own

Shattered dream of

morning, shade the light

And I'm never alone, she

never lets go

[Solo]

[End chorus:]

Long after midnight

Comin' for you, screamin'

into the night

Long after midnight

You can touch me, feel

the thrill of my bite

Long after midnight

Now you feel me draggin'

ya from the lightLong after midnight

Now I'm comin' for you,

fear is the key tonight

Long after midnight

She's coming for you

tonight

Long after midnight

Ghost of the blackest

night, runnin' in fear...

10. Demon Disease

We are the chosen, the

keepers of all we know

We are the future of all

we believe

We are the children who

reached for the open door

But all we found was theDemon Disease

Where can we go from

the terror within

We must be guilty if love

is a sin...

How can we live in the

face of a lie

The race is on, now it's

your turn to cry

[Chorus:]


18/23

From the fathers to sons,

our dreams will carry on

And the powers to be will

fight for you and me...

Demon Disease...

We live the life of

illusions and fantasy

Sometimes it's harder to

take than to give

And as we opened the

door to reality

We saw the demon who's

dying to live

How can we run when

there's nowhere to hideI'm not a stranger with no

one to ride

Is there a chance for the

young to be old?

The heat is on but we're

out in the cold

[Chorus]

[Solo]

How can we run when

there's nowhere to hide

I'm not a stranger with no

one to ride

Is there a chance for the

young to be old

The heat is on but we're

out in the cold

[Chorus]

2. Playing Games

When I first saw her face


19/23

Thought she was the girl

for me

Never knew, had no clue,

now I found

Playing is the key

She's got you down on

your knees and you know

You should get away

from her

Could it be that you're

losing control

Can't you see, she's just

playing games

Her fantasy, she's just

playing games

Now the tables have

turned

And you're feeling like

you should

Now I know, ooh I know,

how it goes

But I never understood

She's a wolf in sheeps'

clothing, you know

And it's time to make her

play

All the games she's been

playing with you

Can't you see, she's just

playing games


playing games

You started something

Or maybe you tried

But you had it coming

And I got you under my

thumb

Starting something

I'll settle the score

I'm owing nothing

I'm out the door

You've got her on herknees and you know

You've got one thing that

she needs

Should it be that she's

losing control

Can't you see, she's justplaying games

3. Love Toys

Don't do it, cut through it

Keep your mind on the

track

Or you know you're

Don't do it, get to it

There's a smile on her

face

And you know that you

can do it

After one, the playing's

doneIt's time to end the game

One more drink, you just

might sink

Don't care about the name

Love toys

She's just another piece

diceBad boys

Just playing a game

Don't do, hold to it

It's love on the rocks

You'll take what she's

giving

Trashing the sheets

Now you're on your own

Don't do it, you blew it

Now the light's in her

eyes

And you really want to

lose it

Don't do it, you knew it

You could've bet the

4. Never Again

Lost in a dream

In a dream of you

All that's left is a tear

That I cried for you

When you held me in

your arms

You made me feel just

like a child

Safe from all harm

Once in love, now it's

gone

And I stand alone

There's a place in my

heart

You still have a home

And I'm holding onto

dreams

And the memories of you

Haunting my soul

Never again will I wake

and see you smile

Never again will I hold

you

Never again, no moreplanning for tomorrow

Never again tells a story

It seems so, so long ago

When you held me near

I can't take all the pain

It's so hard to bear

Still I'm holding onto

dreams

And the memories of youHaunting my soul

Never again will I wake

and see you smile

Never again will I hold

you

Never again, no moreplanning for tomorrow

Never again tells the story

Never again

Never again

Never again

Never again

5. Deadly Player

I've been to the edge of

life

I've been through it all

All the people in my way

I loved to see them crawl

Pleading for mercy

I laughed and turned

awayBegging me on their

knees, to play

I'm the Deadly Player

My middle name is

"Deadly"

And I'm looking for a

dare

I'm hunting prey, most

every dayA lion in his lair

I give no mercy

I'm tolerant to none

This game it's like a

disease

You feel me coming

And I'm coming hard

It gets right in you

It'll have you spinninground and round

Now there's no turning

back for me

No reason for regrets

Ooh, it's coming, coming

downHere it comes

You feel me coming

And I'm coming hard

I get right in you

Have you spinning round

and round

Can't stop, I'm coming

Look out



Fighting to the edge of

life

I must have seen it all

Deadly, dark and

dangerous

Your back's against the

wall

Giving no mercy

And taking the dare

Senses overwhelming

The hunter's set his snare

Push it to the limit

See how far you get

Push a little further

That's something you'll

regret

Take a chance and try

your luck

To see another day

Don't give a damn, don't

give a fuck

For anything you say

6. Take It Or Leave It


21/23

You've been running

around

Trying to keep me hungry

It doesn't mean a thing to

me

Take it or leave it

Take it or leave it

What's this talk I'm

hearing

You can't take the heat

If you ask me I'll just say

Take it or leave it

You don't like the way

I'm up and down

You should know

If you can't understand

Then baby, maybe you

should go

Will this ever end

Or is this just beginning

This shit has got to hit the

fan

Take it or leave it

Don't you know you've

gotta

Take the good with the

bad

You should take the time

To realize what you had

Well if you don't like it

You can use the door

Find yourself another life

Take it or leave it

You've been running

around

Trying to keep me hungry

It doesn't mean a thing to

me

Take it or leave it

Take it or leave it

Take it

7. Girl

Come on, baby, give it to

me

Magic lady, make me

believe

You keep purring all

night long

Keep it pushing all night

long

Keep it tight

Till morning light

Come on mama, show me

some tricks

Rock me, honey, you

know the licks

Good girl, bad girl, all

night long

Got me burning all night

long

Do it right

Through the night

Keep it tight

Through the night

8. Long Distance

You say that time will tell

Everyday keeps getting

harder

I know that I've been

gone so long

Who'd believe I wasmissing you

Everything is getting to

me

These lonely nights go on

and on

Days are getting longerMiles and miles between

us

This feeling's getting

stronger

Please believe me when I

say no way

Long distance love, it

ain't for me

This can't go on, oh, can't

you seeWe've been holding on

too long

Long distance torture on

the line

Far too much talking all

the time

Let it go, our time is gone

Fighting, crying, almost

dying

That's enough for me

Time for living, no more

giving

Time to set me free


ain't for me


you see

We've been holding ontoo long


the line


the t

Let it go

Days are getting longer

Miles and miles between

usThis feeling's getting


22/23

stronger

Please believe me when I

say no way


ain't for meThis can't go on, oh, can't

you see

We've been holding on

too long


the line


the time

Let it go, our time is gone


ain't for me


you see

We've been holding on

too long

9. In The Mirror

What's this in the mirror

Looking back at me

Reflections of a man

That I knew so long ago

Like a stranger in disguise

Could you be wrong

Thinking you knew me so

well

Now you tell me, I'm nogood

Take one long look in the

mirror

I was once a man of

dreams

That you destroyed

You took all I lived for

And you threw it all away

Now you're standing all

aloneAnd no one cares

You should have known

this before

You can't tell me I'm no

good

Just look at yourself

Don't try to hide your face

Your past you can't erase

Mirror on the wall

Mirror on the wall

Mirror on the wall

Now the mirror's

shattered

And it's clear to see

I'm still the man I wasBefore you threw it all

away

The mirror holds the past

And you can't break free

Now it is your turn to pay

Try and tell me I'm no

good

Just look at yourself

Don't try to hide your face

Your past you can't erase

Mirror on the wall

Mirror on the wall

Mirror on the wall

Mirror on the wall

Mirror on the wall

Mirror on the wall

Mirror on the wall

10. Sleepless Nights

I can feel the night is

calling

Calling out to you

Tossing, turning, oh I'm

learning

How to keep my mind off

of you

Ooh, as the nights get

longer

Time's standing still

It's the pain you're feeling

deep inside

You need some love to

pull you throughPull you through the night

now, baby

Can't take no more of

these

Sleepless nights - driving

me crazy

They've got me losing my

mind


me crazyThey've got me losing my

mind

All night the phone keeps

ringing

I'm nowhere to be found

Your mind is racing and

always chasing

You know I'm running

around

Ooh, morning's getting

closer and you wonder

why

It's the pain you're feeling

deep inside

You need someone to pull

you through

Pull you through the night

now, baby


these


me crazy


mind


me crazy


mind

You have no clue to what


23/23

I've been through

You tell me

I need to feel your love

tonight, tonight

Give it to me right

I can feel the night is

calling

Calling out to you

Tossing, turning, oh I'm

learning

How to keep my mind off

of you

Ooh, as the nights get

longer

Time's standing stillIt's the pain you're feeling

deep inside

You need some love to

pull you through

Pull you through the night

now, baby


these


me crazy

You've got me losing my

mind


me crazy


mind


me crazy


mindSleepless nights - driving

me crazy

11. Find A Way

I see the world

Through different eyesthan you

Time is the key

And my heart is locked

and waiting

I'm coming home to hold

youI know it's hard to be

alone, for so long

I'll find a way, ooh,

someday

To get right back to you

Find the time, cross the

line

Make all your dreams

come---

When we're alone

Gonna make you feel

alright

No more fears, no more

tears

I'm gonna hold you, oh,

so tight

Just close your eyes, start

counting

And when they open I'll

be home, right next to you

Just keep holding on

I'm always going to find a

Find a way to you

Just can't be too soon

You know I'm going to

find a

Find a way to you

Eyes to the sky

It's of you I'm always

dreaming

Cursing the ground

That keeps me from you

No time for dreaming

I'l find a way, I'll find a

way

No time for praying

May be today, I'll find away

Just can't be too soon

You know I'm going to

find a

Find a way to you

I'll find a way

Ooh, someday


Find the time, cross the

line


come true

I'll find a way

Ooh, someday


Find the time, cross theline


come true
