01. Into The Fire - Lyrics:
Here we are again, martyrs of the revolution
The countdown of the human pain
Nothing left to burn, witnessing the prosecution
Killing ourselves time and again
Save me! Don't let them take my life from me
Help me! My fears become reality
Into the fire
No need to pray for me
Into the fire
My tears are black so set me free
Hellfire burns again, angels of this constitution
The day of reckoning we'll learn
We're marching to the end, to the final execution
This blackest day, there's no return
Save me! don't let them take my life from me
Help me! Eternal pain is what I feel
Into the fire
No need to pray for me
Into the fire
My tears are black so set me free.
02. Head Up High - Lyrics:
You're a dreamer and you live in a world
Of lies full of sinners
You will never understand
You're a great deceiver a result of a system
That's fake and always holds you
Are you really in command?
This is the time to change and make things right
This is the time to make it on your own
You'll never be yourself
Don't ever lose your pride
Just find out who you are
You keep your head up high
You're not a believer you just go with the flow
Never an achiever
You will suffer in the end
You thing you're a winner but this game you play
Will make you burn in fire
Smile and wake up dead
You're not forever so you're aiming higher
You stumble in every step you take
You'll never be yourself
Don't ever lose your pride
Just find out who you are
You keep your head up high.
03. Mercenary Man - Lyrics:
Mama take a look at your boy
Face a man without a soul
He is standing in the doorway
I'll be gone, before the night is over
I have to go, I have to run to the border
Lost my way I run in desperation
Lost the words I lost communication
All I see is death beneath my window
All I need is to heal my broken mind
I will catch my own wounded shadow
Just before we leave it all behind
Mama keep the faith it's alright
Your boy's a mercenary man
A soldier made of steel
A shotgun rings; the wind is calling my name
Fields of gold beneath a blood red sky
Lost my way I run in desperation
Lost the words I lost communication
All I see is death beneath my window
All I need is to heal my broken mind
I will catch my own wounded shadow
Just before we leave it all behind
Just before we leave it all behind.
04. Angels Forgive Me - Lyrics:
I can remember when I was really blinded by the light
Then everything was black
I fell down wounded
Didn't have the strength to wake my spirit
Couldn't keep my head up high
So much at stake in here, can't turn wine into water
I fall into despair
In one life, in one minute
Everything will change your spirit
No one seems to care
Angels forgive me, there is no return
Had to surrender slowing down my life, it wasn't easy
Trying to rest my bones
But I'm still haunted
By a thousand ghosts, and still I'm drowning
Flashes of the past
So much at stake in here, can't turn wine into water
I fall into despair
In one life, in one minute
Everything will change your spirit
No one seems to care
Angels forgive me, forgive me
I close my eyes.
05. Remembered - Lyrics:
All my fears are gone since I don't know when
But the path I chose has made me strong
Demons of the past are here
They push for revolution
Trying to manipulate my brain
I found my own solution
I won't crawl for you again
I will never go insane
Do the things you want to do and let your spirit guide you through
In a life worth being remembered
Don't look back you won't regret, forgive, forget and never hate
Isn't it how you want to be remembered?
Through the darkest days don't let anxiety
Embrace your soul just stay awake
Demons tried to tear me down
Start the revelations
My barricades are made of steel
I faced my situations
Do the things you want to do and let your spirit guide you through
In a life worth being remembered
Don't look back you won't regret, forgive, forget and never hate
Isn't it how you want to be remembered?
06. My Loneliness - Lyrics:
My loneliness makes you feel insecure
My loneliness will never let you find a cure
My loneliness has no directions for me and you
My loneliness speaks no truth of what you do
Listen to what I say
Turn me in
You're going crazy and I can't stand to feel your tears over me
Turn me in
It's not a crime to feel the way that I do, again and again
My loneliness does not lead you to my core
My loneliness always tell you to ignore
My loneliness, a waste of time if there's no trust
My loneliness is turning everything to dust
Listen to what I say
Turn me in
You're going crazy and I can't stand to feel your tears over me
Turn me in
It's not a crime to feel the way that I do, again and again
No one can save us from this pain
I wish that I could stop the rain
These dark gray skies are closing in
Oh!
You're going crazy and I can't stand to feel your tears over me
Turn me in
It's not a crime to feel the way that I do, again and again.
07. Circle Of Life - Lyrics:
Tears of rage
Have fallen of my face
I cannot hide
My dreams keep holding me tight
To be alive
Is the gift and goal of mankind?
Creative minds
So brave but hard to find
Show no fear, (keep) your head up high
Time goes by and arrows fly
Have I lost my mind?
The truth now shows that I was blind
It made me change my mind
It's the circle of life
Tears of a coward, tears of shame
I found my way, to win this game
Do your best, just stay awake
What you got no one can take
Have I lost my mind?
The truth now shows that I was blind
It made me change my mind
It's the circle of life.
08. The Silent Code - Lyrics:
Break me, cut me in two
The pain is curving deeper, but I will get through
Don't save me, I've heard it all before
I'm picking up the pieces that I spread all over you
We just obey the silent code
I'm sick and tired
We're floating in an endless flood
And I'll cry for you
And I'll smile for you
I can do what you want
I can be who you want me to be
Won't you set me free?
Hit me, I'm sick of it all
It won't make any difference cause it's not in my control
Steer me, I can't do a thing
I'll follow your direction, and I will obey the call
We just obey the silent code
I'm sick and tired
It's an endless flood
And I'll cry for you
And I'll smile for you
I can do what you want
I can be who you want me to be
Won't you set me free?
I can compromise,
But you must realize that one day
I will break free.
09. Maniac - Lyrics:
[Michael Sembello: Cover]
Just a still town girl on a saturday night, lookin' for the fight of her life
In the real-time world no one sees her at all, they all say she's crazy
Locking rhythms to the beat of her heart, changing woman into life
She has danced into the danger zone, when a dancer becomes a dance
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac on the floor
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
On the ice-build iron sanity is a place most never see
It's a hard warm place of mystery, touch it, but can't hold it
You work all your life for that moment in time, it could come or pass you by
It's a push of the world, but there's always a chance
If the hunger stays the night
There's a cold connective heat, struggling, stretching for defeat
Never stopping with her head against the wind
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before
It can cut you like a knife, if the gift becomes the fire
On a wire between will and what will be
She's a maniac, maniac, I sure know
And she's dancing like she's never danced before.
10. Life Foreclosed - Lyrics:
Dark clouds, on the horizon
Black thoughts, within your mind
Deep within, the cold and darkness
You know it's our time
The world goes on without you
The evil survives
The world bleeds more day by day
No one even tries
Life foreclosed and payment is due
It's the end for me and you
Blood and destruction, anger's seduction
The earth screams her last cries
We are the destroyers of life
We are the bringers of pain
We are the last ones alive
We know that it's true
Yes, we know that it's true
Endless war, a trait of man
Endless hate, is all we understand
Endless poor, hold out their hands
Endless greed, just turned around
And the world looks on in anguish
At life's suicide
Life foreclosed and payment is due
It's the end for me and you
Blood and destruction, anger's seduction
The earth screams her last cries
We are the destroyers of life
We are the bringers of pain
We are the last ones alive
We know that it's true
Oh, we know that it's true
[Solo Guitar]
We are the destroyers of life
We are the bringers of pain
We are the last ones alive
We know that it's true
Oh, we know that it's true
We are the destroyers of life
(Destroyers of life)
We are the bringers of pain
We are the last ones alive
(Last ones alive)
We know that it's true
Yes, we know that it's true
Life foreclosed
Life foreclosed

Life foreclosed
