01. The Gun Show - Lyrics:
Welcome to the gun show!
Hey cowboy! How's it going tonight?
Come on in and you can buy me a drink
Hey cowboy!
I see your pistol is cocked
And you got a look on your face like you wanna rock
Welcome to the gun show!
Tonight, we get wild
Welcome to the gun show!
Where the dead come alive
Hey cowboy! I hope you're fast
'Cause I'm the baddest gunslinger in the west
Hey outlaw!
Follow me outside and keep your fingers on the triggers while we put you under
Welcome to the gun show!
Tonight, we get wild
Welcome to the gun show!
Where the dead come alive
It all comes down to a single moment
The strong will fight and the weak will run
Slide the bullet in the barrel
Let me see your head count to ten then draw your guns
(Shoot 'em up)
May the best man win!
May the best man win!
May the best man win!
Welcome to the gun show!
Tonight, we get wild
Welcome to the gun show!
Where the dead come alive
Welcome to the gun show!
Welcome to the gun show!
Welcome to the gun show!
Welcome to the gun show!
Come on, cowboys!
Come on, cowboys!
02. Just Drive - Lyrics:
Just drive!
Tonight is the night, let's get ready to go
Leave your bags behind and let's hit the road
Tonight is the night, there's no time to lose, let's get going
Tonight is the night, let's follow the moon
You can take the wheel and I'll breathe the wind
With my head back and hands in the air I am flying
Just drive
Take me away tonight (just drive)
Just me with you tonight
Down the winding road, we will not let go
We will drive, no matter how far
Yes, we will drive until the ending of it all
So, here we are we left the world behind
You've got your foot on the gas and it's do or die
And these wheels are all we need as were cruising
So here we are in this Cadillac
We've got the rag top down and the seats are back
You turn to me and say: "baby we're flying"
Just drive
Take me away tonight (just drive)
Just me with you tonight
Down the winding road, we will not let go
We will drive, no matter how far
Yes, we will drive until the ending of it all
Until the ending of it all
We will drive, we will not look back
Just drive!, just drive!
Down the winding road, we will not let go
We will drive, no matter how far
Yes, we will drive until the ending of it all
We will drive, no matter how far
Yes, we will drive until the ending of it all.
03. The Promise - Lyrics:
[featuring: Adrian Patrick]
It's haunting
This hold that you have over me
I grow so weak
I see you
And everything around you fades
And I can't see
You can never know what it is you do to me
I can't take what you do to me
I can't take it
No matter what I say or what I do
I know how this will end
So I turn it away now before we begin
And no matter what you say or what you do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now
I'm dangerous for you
You touch me
And I can barely make a move
And I can't breathe
You never know what it is you do to me
I can't take what you do to me
I can't take it
No matter what I say or what I do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now before we begin
And no matter what you say or what you do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now
I'm dangerous
The only promise I could make you
Is that my promise is a lie
The only promise I could make you
Is that my promise is a lie
No matter what I say or what I do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now before we begin
And no matter what you say or what you do
I know how this will end
So I'm turning away now
I'm dangerous for you
I'm dangerous, I'm dangerous for you
I'm dangerous, I'm dangerous for you
I'm dangerous, I'm dangerous for you
I'm dangerous, I'm dangerous for you
My promise is I will hurt you
My promise is I will hurt you
My promise is I will hurt you
My promise is I will hurt you.
04. Standing Alone - Lyrics:
So here we are now at the end of our road
So many questions going unanswered
These streets are dark and led me far from you
And you never noticed that I was gone
And now I'm standing here alone
Still I hold my head up high
The time has come for me to leave
It's the only way to survive
There's no need now for you to say word
Your sacrifices for me took a turn
I hope you're sailing free and on your way
And I hope that you think of me each day
And now I'm standing here alone
Still I hold my head up high
The time has come for me to leave
It's the only way to survive
And now I'm standing here alone
Holding my head high
The time has come for me to leave
It's the only way to survive
Now I'm standing here alone
It's the only way to survive.
05. A Star-Crossed Wasteland - Lyrics:
The dust is clearing, the desert is cool
The skies are all quiet and I can't make a sound
And I just wait for you
I'm calling for a savior to show me where to start
And all who still remain are whispering in the dark
And we just wait for a sign
So, this is my once upon a time
So, this is my star-crossed wasteland
The wolves are ascending, and the vultures are near
And I'm still here waiting for you to reappear
And we just wait for a sign
So, this is my once upon a time
So, this is my star-crossed wasteland
And you'll never know what it is you've done to me
You'll never know what is is you've done to me
And we all wait for a sign
And we all wait for a sign
And we just wait for a sign.
06. Blazin - Lyrics:
Let's blaze!
We just got into town
And we've been driving all night
We've been gone for far too long
Now it's time for getting right
So, you know where to meet me
And you know just what I need
So, show me what I've been missing out on
And why I shouldn't leave
We're not gonna stop tonight
We're gonna burn this city down
We're not gonna stop tonight
We're gonna blaze till the morning sun
We're just now hitting the town
And we're taping off the streets
We've been driving all day and night
Tell me, were you waiting for me?
So, you know what's going down
And you know just what I need
So, show me what I've been missing out on
And why I should believe
We're not gonna stop tonight
We're gonna burn this city down
We're not gonna stop tonight
We're gonna blaze till the morning sun.
07. The Road - Lyrics:
These thoughts of you are all I have to pull me through
This fight my heart is strong and true
There's nothing I won't do to show you
I would sacrifice my dying breath for you
No matter how dark the road
You'll light my way
No matter how far my home
I'll find my way
The bridge is burning and there's no returning
To the desert songs of yesterday
These streets are cracked and all the trees have died
But I will not lose faith I will not stray
No matter how dark the road
You'll light my way
No matter how far my home
I'll find my way.
08. Iron Army - Lyrics:
My soldiers will rise
Protecting me from all my enemies
I know you had to go, It's my war not yours
I know you had to go, It's easier to ignore
I know you had to go, we're not all bred for the battleground
This is my war
There is no surrender
No fear, no more
I'll never stand down
This is my war
You will all remember
Hear me now, I'm calling out
I built myself a fucking iron army
I built myself a fucking iron army
Their hearts are made of blood and steel
And they'll march through a hurricane without a fear
I know you had to go, It's my war not yours
I know you had to go, It's easier to ignore
I know you had to go, we're not all bred for the battleground
This is my war
There is no surrender
No fear, no more
I'll never stand down
This is my war
You will all remember
Hear me now, I'm calling out
I built myself a fucking iron army
I built myself a fucking iron army
RISE!, RISE!, RISE!
Though I walk the valley of death I will fear no evil
Though I walk the valley of death I will fear no evil
I built myself a fucking iron army
I built myself a fucking iron army
I built myself a fucking iron army.
09. The Last Cowboy - Lyrics:
And, behold, a cowboy came into town, dirty and worn
He had black eyes, long hair and lines that cut deep into his frown
He had the right hand of the devil strapped tightly to his side
And you could tell fear abandoned this outlaw in a previous life
Why? Looking but never seeing
Why? Searching but never finding
Why? For the kiss to bring his
Cold dead heart back to life
I am, I am searching for you
Waiting, I am coming
First light, I am coming for you
Last stand
I am, I am searching for you
Waiting, I am coming
First light, I am coming for you
Catch me if you can
He had the story of whisky on his breath and death in his eyes
You never heard him say a word, but the pistol shot straight through the lies
Looking for the new world going from dead town to town
But his compass is cracked and north is six feet underground
Why? Looking but never seeing
Why? Searching but never finding
Why? For the kiss to bring his
Cold dead heart back to life
I am, I am searching for you
Waiting, I am coming
First light, I am coming for you
Last stand
I am, I am searching for you
Waiting, I am coming
First light, I am coming for you
Catch me if you can
I towed the line for you
I am, I am searching for you
Waiting, I am coming
First light, I am coming for you
Last stand
I am, I am searching for you
Waiting, I am coming
First light, I am coming for you
Catch me if you can
If you ever cross a shadow in a wasted void
You tell him I'm here waiting for the last cowboy.
10. World In Flames - Lyrics:
It's 2:30 a.m.
I slowly come awake
And I know something's not right
I walk slowly to the door
And feel the heat through the walls
Smell the burning outside
And all I can see
Are these flames around me
And all I can think
Is I'm here alone
Please, find me and save me
And even if the world ignites into flames
You'll be right here by my side
And as it burns away
You smile at me and say that
"Not even death could take me away from you"
The fires are growing close
And all I smell is smoke, yeah
Still it's beautiful to me
I hope you get here soon
I've been waiting here for you
I believed in you
So hurry, please
There's these flames around me
Please, come save me
And even if the world ignites into flames
You'll be right here by my side
And as it burns away
You smile at me and say that
"Not even death could take me away from you"
Where are you tonight?
Come find me
Come find me
'Cause you're not here by my side
And even if the world ignites into flames
You'll be right here by my side
Come home to me
Where are you tonight, love?
Where are you tonight, love?
'Cause you're not here...
You're not here with me
Please, come home
Please, come home
Please, come home
You're not here by my side
It's burning outside!
Please, come home
'Cause you're not...
'Cause you're not here...
You're not here with me
I've been waiting here for you
I hope you make it soon
The flames are right outside my door.

Waiting, I am coming
First light, I am coming for you
Catch me if you can
He had the story of whisky on his breath and death in his eyes
You never heard him say a word, but the pistol shot straight through the lies
Looking for the new world going from dead town to town
But his compass is cracked and north is six feet underground

First light, I am coming for you
Last stand
I am, I am searching for you
Waiting, I am coming
First light, I am coming for you
Catch me if you can
If you ever cross a shadow in a wasted void
You tell him I'm here waiting for the last cowboy.

And I know something's not right
I walk slowly to the door
And feel the heat through the walls
Smell the burning outside
And all I can see
Are these flames around me
And all I can think
Is I'm here alone
Please, find me and save me
And even if the world ignites into flames
You'll be right here by my side
And as it burns away
You smile at me and say that
"Not even death could take me away from you"
The fires are growing close
And all I smell is smoke, yeah
Still it's beautiful to me
I hope you get here soon
I've been waiting here for you
I believed in you
So hurry, please
There's these flames around me
Please, come save me
And even if the world ignites into flames
You'll be right here by my side
And as it burns away
You smile at me and say that
"Not even death could take me away from you"
Where are you tonight?
Come find me
Come find me
'Cause you're not here by my side
And even if the world ignites into flames
You'll be right here by my side
Come home to me
Where are you tonight, love?
Where are you tonight, love?
'Cause you're not here...
You're not here with me
Please, come home
Please, come home
Please, come home
You're not here by my side
It's burning outside!
Please, come home
'Cause you're not...
'Cause you're not here...
You're not here with me
I've been waiting here for you
I hope you make it soon
The flames are right outside my door.
