The war machine's lying on the ground Are we waiting for power to make its big mistake? Better learn to rely on love and not the hate We're running in and out of time There's a blood red skyline They're sleeping in their minds It's time to awaken Clear the aristocracy Brethren this is no Milan vacation Are we waiting for the messengers of power to throw it all away? It's not happening tomorrow it's happening now Today We're running in and out of time So I'm writing a letter of hope tonight To send a message to who will maybe hear I don't understand what they are fighting for And when I make it back I will prove to you it was for nothing Both sides are hoping, praying, feeling all the same What's going through their minds and dreams? Please tell me System's fading slowly out There's gonna be a rude awakening Over and out I'll be waiting for the messengers of power to throw it all away It's not happening tomorrow, it's happening now Today HELLO ANGEL ============ This situation is getting mean Gothenburg was a heavy scene I packed a small one to keep it clean Man I gotta leave this routine Twenty four hours It never sleeps Cats are scratching and there ain't no peace So I've got to do what I've got to do To keep together what is left of the truth I want , I need to wake from this dream Don't go away, I'm leaving soon I need you to heal my soul Hello angel Come and hold me And keep me to yourself There's no one else Please believe me I want to go Take me home This situation is out of hand A storm has taken this foreign land I've got to prove what I've got to prove Or did you notice the broken dam I want, I need to wake from this dream Don't go away, I'll be there soon I need you to heal my soul Hello angel Come and hold me And keep me to yourself There's nobody else Please believe me I want to go This picture of your face has got me in a spell I must be leaving again For the stage is set and the band starts playing soon my love How many hours did I sleep? The dogs are howling in the night for peace I've got to find out Before the sun What is chasing and what's begun FAT CITY N.O. ============ Gone through a lot for my freedom Lost a life along the way Left home everything I own As I headed out to join the charade Got caught up with the wild and the madness May have gone too far I must confess I must confess My money hid away in the gas tank Gotta keep it steady no joke no mistake Soon I'll be telling you to hold on Strapped in my four forty Hemmy burning Long live Fat City Got nothing to lose White blue down the avenue It's worth everything I know Lone live Fat City Out blowing a fuse Set this town alight I found my way out the backstreet Glad to be alive A hundred more mile I'll be long gone No more fighting or scrapes to survive Up ahead says rest for riders Headlights maybe red lights beware I look into my rear view mirror They're closer than they do appear Another minute I'll be far away Another second I'll be shifting gears Paid a lot for my freedom I never wondered why Memory's clear and reminds me daily It was so close but I passed them by There was a space by the policeman Gunshots all around over my head Look into my rear view mirror Closer than they will appear Another minute I'll be far away Another second I'll be shifting gears Set it alight Set this town alight TOWER ======= The ocean She is raging No land is in sight for miles Sails in the sunset From the wind may be torn They must come down Our compass directing to the west Legend promises all Women and children hardly safe How many more days? If we make it to land all will be ours If they don't understand We're burning their towers Claim superior race over nations Eric's son command Starting a new world over leagues By the law of their own hand Reward is your freedom And slaves of your questioning words Women and children nearly saved How many more days? If we make it to land all will be ours If they don't understand We're burning the towers Taking over the world Don't you know you're a part of it all Over the seas Fighting tonight in the desert skies Charting on the shore all we see is land for miles Fighting in the new world that is ours No defeat is allowed Women and children nearly safe How many more days If we make it to land all will be ours Since they don't understand We're burning the towers If we make it to land all will be ours Since we don't understand they're burning the towers Part of it all Some of us starting to realize PILOT OF YOUR SOUL =================== Slow down Can't you see you're moving too fast? I believe you're headed down Too high You're gonna crash So late and it's been such a long time Through extremes and sinking too low To satisfy your senses only Going surely against the flow Let the pilot of your soul guide you When you're broken and there's nowhere to turn There is always one more try Bear the fight Hold on Even though you've only a thread I believe there's hope for you listen Better off alive So read between the lines Is it clearer? You climb the walls and hope for the truth Closing in is just an illusion Does the mirror claim that it's you? Let the pilot of your soul guide you When you're broken and there's nowhere to turn There is always one more try Bear the fight You can bear it Always one more try FOREVER AND MORE =================== She packed her bags Headed for the station It's five a.m. cold enough to slide I looked around There's no information Where you are going Are you safe tonight Now the summer's gone Don't know where you are The hardest part is the love for you Oh my love Half way there To the destination Touchdown in Dallas Staggers from the plane She looks around But he's not waiting What has she done? Now the summer's gone Don't know where you are The hardest part is the love for you There's a letter written for you Tell me how I can get through What am I supposed to do your heart is in mine And it's slowly beating What happened to forever and more All my friends say go away for a while Down to the ocean where the air is clean But I'm still waiting for a message from you I'm still waiting There's a letter written for you Tell me how I can get through What am I supposed to do your heart is in mine And it's slowly beating What happened to forever and more Forever and more Forever and more cont.... It's six a.m. the phone is ringing I say hello is there anybody there? If it's a dream I need to awaken Where are you love? I'm far away The winter is here You know what I fear Can I see you? Will you be on your way I'm on my way Here's a letter written for you Don't know how I ever got through What was I supposed to do your heart is in mine And it's slowly beating There's a letter written from you Don't know how we ever got through What are we supposed to do Our hearts are together mine in yours Forever and more TURNING OFF THE EMOTION ========================= Found you in the dark Reeking of a cheap perfume Hiding in the park Why are you so alone? No one knows her name Is it just a good disguise? Just another fallen angel cast aside She says it's allright being alone As she hides from herself Turning off the emotions A broken angel Sometimes in white Riding the waves till the fear and the fight is gone To another song What's so wrong? So she loves the sun Found you in the car No more fuel a hazy day Have you gone too far Trusting no one Say it's allright being alone As she hides from herself Turning off the emotions A broken angel sometimes in white Riding the waves through the morning and moonlight Says its allright She is at home finding herself Turning off the emotions A lonely angel searching for life Riding the waves till the fear and the fight is gone Found you in the dark Drinking all that you could find Hiding in the park Still so alone Says it's allright leave it alone She's her home LIVE FOR TODAY =============== Storm's closing in The kind that makes the world upside down Following the clouds Is it another old illusion that it's all O.K.? Won't it go away for good? At times it makes us pass the time so slowly Maybe I should say I would one more time Time to live Living for today So much to give Something's on the way So here it is again It's waiting like a long lost friend Stealing from your hand Where's your higher faith? Why can't you hear it? So would you? Won't it go away for good? At times it makes us pass the time so slowly Maybe I should say I should let it go Time to live Living for today So much to give Something's on the way Storm's closing in The kind that makes the world turn Upside down Here it is again like a long lost friend ILLUSION ======== One's too little and ten's not enough You've gotta give it all that you've got No it's never labour if that's what you love Tonight we're going over the top And maybe changing the pace One thing is for certain It's all rearranged when comes the push Here's how it feels Pushing through your life of illusion You've got to push it to the limit Change the station Into the light and through the confusion When night-time comes we're rolling into your town If we've been to sleep or not It's just begun and once we're really moving on We're never wanting to stop So let us take you away Living for the minute And yes for today in for the push Push it to the limit Well one is too little and ten is not enough You've gotta give it all that you've got No it's never labour if that's what you love Tonight we're going over the top And never changing the pace One thing's for certain We're all rearranged when comes the push Mode is interplay Recreation recreation THE STORM =========== Kiss it all to the wind It's never goodbye my friend I'll see you again Remember this life is just a game You keep me holding on Reaching for morning till the lightning comes And for the life that's ahead Though no one know what's forever there No more darkness I can't exist in the light Now I know I'm not the only one On this uphill climb Carry on We've come so far Did we have to wait so long We were almost there You may need someone to talk to It's never too late to find We all need someone To lean on sometime We have weathered the storm Remember the silence It's important to you Remember the darkness my friend It's the same as the fool Remember your will It's with you till morning Till the life's reborn Carry on We've come so far We had to wait so long We are almost there You may need someone to talk to It's never too late to find We all need someone To lean on sometime We have weathered the storm
