Hey you
She's gonna get you If you go walking by This corner slow Don't think she's gonna let you leave Just because you want to go Boy you Ain't seen nothing yet It's a long train of regret Puppets get No second chance Pull that string They gotta dance Parellel addiction is A double crucifixion When you're always out there Feeding your head Always channel surfing cause Your brain it isn't working When you're looking for That moment just remember Don't look Don't stray Don't talk it over No time No way Listen to me I'm cold sober You're just out there Taunting cobras Hey you Who's gonna warn you When it's something You don't want to know Don't think It won't deform you Twist your mind Then let it go Boy you Ain't seen nothing yet It's a long train of regret Puppets get No second chance Pull that string They gotta dance Welcome to the prison Let me tell ya What you're missing I've been coming here For nearly a year Out there was my corner 'Till I came in for a water Mixed with whiskey And a chaser of Sideways glances Don't look Don't stray Don't talk it over No time No way Listen to me I'm cold sober You're just out there Taunting cobras Don't look Don't stray Don't talk it over No time No way Listen to me I'm cold sober You're just out there Taunting cobras |

The night is growing dark
From somewhere deep within It shelters like an ark And always takes you in And the mind goes numb 'Till it's feeling no pain And the soul cries out For a handful of rain Wash your women In your whiskey When your future's In the past And you're staring Up at heaven From the bottom Of a glass And you need some insulation From the years you've Had and lost And you feel the perspiration As you're adding up the cost And the night rolls on Like a slow moving train And the soul cries out There's a land Beyond the living There's a land Beyond the dead If it's true that God's forgiving Of the lives that we have led In the distance There's a thunder And the air is thick and warm And the patrons Watch with wonder The approaching of the storm And the night rolls on Like a slow moving train And the soul cries out For a handful of rain |

Chance
by Savatage He was standing all alone Trying to find the words to say When every prayer he ever prayed was gone And the dreams he`s never owned Are still safely tucked away Until tomorrow he just carries on Carries on Carries on Carries on instrumental break See the devil on the streets at night See him running in the pouring rain See him grinning `neath a twisted light I`ll be back again See the people standing in a row See them nodding like a field of grain No one sees the sickle though Coming `cross the plain And this he knows, if nothing more That waiting in the dark like destiny Are those who kiss the dogs of war And there is no tomorrow, no tomorrow Take a chance Take a, take a chance yeah See the devil he is so intense See the devil go and change his name What`s the going price of innocence It can`t be the same Is it dark when the moon is down Is it dark with a single flame If there`s glass falling all around I am not to blame And this he knows, if nothing more That waiting in the dark like destiny Are those who kiss the dogs of war And there is no tomorrow, no tomorrow Take a chance Take a, take a chance yeah Take a chance Take a, take a chance oh yeah instrumental break Burn the night away Burn the night away Burn the night instrumental break Pictures at an exhibition Played as he stood In his trance Staring at his inhibitions All the time believing That it now came down to nothing but this chance Chance Chance Chance I fear you Your silence Your blindness See what you want to see In darkness One kindness One moment Tell me what you believe I believe in nothing Never really had to In regards to your life Rumors that are not true Who`s defending evil Surely never I Who would be the witness Should you chance to die Father can you hear me This is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other`s destiny Father can U hear me this is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other`s destiny Father can U hear me this is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other`s destiny Father can U hear me this is not how it was meant to be I am safe and so are you As for the other`s destiny Look away Look away~~ Pictures at an exhibition Played as he stood In his trace Staring at his inhabitions All the time believing That it now came down to Nothing but this chance~~ CHANCE!! |

He never closed his eyes
Or so we theorized But we were young and bold And he was mostly old And his time nearly done He came back from a war On some forgotten shore And sat and watched The world And never said a word And so I asked for one Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun He fought for things so clear And never thought he'd fear A brother or his child Or killing having style Watch the colors run Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become, oh yeah Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun And now he only hears And his eyes they only tear So tread most carefully For he's still listening Watch the colors run Watching waiting Old man tell me what have we become, oh yeah yeah Anticipating All the hating that was yet undone He turned around and stared into the sun |

In the dark and bleeding
With the shadows seething There he stands alone Fools and faith conspire Questions of desire That they never owned Kings without their armor Men without their honor Spit out desecration Pieces of a nation Buried in the ground Screams without a sound Burn the castle down In the end the children cried That the jackal surely lied When he said please listen all Do not look behind these walls Coffins drowned in roses And the war he chose is Fought inside the mind Death becomes compelling When the soul's for selling And the world is blind In the maze he wanders Looks about and ponders shadows mock and taunt him And the ghosts that haunt him Chain him to the ground Screams without a sound Burn the castle down In the end the children cried That the jackal surely lied When he said please listen all Do not look behind these walls And does the pendulum toll Against the side of the soul When he feels the final moment is near Do you rage 'gainst the dark Try to re-write the part Turn around and face what you fear What you fear He's seen it all before Close your eyes and close the door And the dreams that nights embrace Slowly leave without a trace |

There in the dark
There's a child and she's waiting Lost in the maze of a fait accompli Is it a crime to be just hesitating While we're pretending that we never see On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here watching you Watching you fall Is there a trick to the art of not feeling Safe in our world while another's child bleeds Praying that God won't demand a redealing Of cards we have held and pretend you don't need Don't need On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here Watching you Watching you fall Better not think about it Anytime we'll start to doubt it Christ has risen Keep him hidden God forbid he sees It's not that we lack the vision Only just a quick decision Who will blame us, rules restrain us It's all in history So close my eyes and pretend I am sleeping Avoiding the chance that you'll visit my dreams On a TV mounted on the wall From this distance I can see it all And I've been out here Watching you, watching you Watching you, watching you Watching you, watching you fall Yeah yeah |

So would you tell me now
Are life and death a symmetry Balanced on scales, either side chosen And could these moments balance out against eternity Promise inferred, words never spoken My life is burning Could you read by the light Letters I've written, never to follow Poets and madmen all defy reason Still in my mind I know I want to live my life with you Dying hard Play the whole hand 'til it's through Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard And in your arctic night You contemplate eternity Walking on water Frozen in silence And in that moment would you Turn around and turn to me Laughing away night's darker tyrants My life is burning Could you read by the light Letters I've written, never to follow Poets and madmen all defy reason Still in my mind I know I want to live my life with you Dying hard Play the whole hand 'til it's through Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard Some nights I spend alone inside my head But it's better than losing it And if you want to turn it all around It's your life you're choosing it I want to live my life with you Dying hard Play the whole hand 'til it's through Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard Dying hard |

Alone You Breathe
(Criss's Song) You were never one for waiting Still I always thought You'd wait for me Have you from you dream awakened And from where you are What do you see Which of us is now in exile Which in need of amnesty Are you now but an illusion In my mind alone you breathe You believed in things That I will never know You were out there drowning But it never showed Till inside a rain swept night You just let go You've thrown it all away And now we'll never see The ending to the play The grand design, The final line And what was meant to be In the dark a distant runner Now Has disappeared into the night Leaving us to stand and wonder Staring from his end into your life You believed in things That I will never know You were out there drowning But it never showed Till inside a rain swept night You just let go You've thrown it all away And now we'll never see The ending to the play The grand design, The final line And what was meant to be And if this is all illusion Nothing more than pure delusion Clinging to a fading fantasy Like Icarus who heeds the calling of a sun but now is falling as the feathers of his life fall free Can you see See Tomorrow and after You tell me what am I to do I stand here, believing That in the dark there is the clue Perhaps inside this midnight sky Perhaps tomorrow's new born eyes I Could it be, we'll never know And after all this was the show What am I to do Gotta get back Gotta get back Gotta get back What am I to do Gotta get back Gotta get back Gotta get back What am I to do Standing on a dream isn't what it seems could we then reclaim a dream refused Knowing what we know could we let it go realizing that all the years are used Tomorrow and after You tell me what am I to do I stand here, believing That in the dark there is the clue I am the way, I am the light I am the dark inside the night I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams And in the dark I hear your screams Tomorrow and after You tell me what am I to do I stand here, believing That in the dark there is the clue |

In the town of Sarajevo, there's an old medieval square
There's a church aside one corner most believe was always there It was built a thousand years before any now were born And its glory was its belfry with its stones all gray... and worn Now there's a gargoyle on that belfry and he's been up there for years And he has watched and he has pondered: "What is laughter, what are tears?" And he's never found his answers as he sees the years go by But he watches and he wonders with his stone unblinking eyes |

As he stood upon the watch deck Looking out onto the sea It would offer no solutions Only silent company So he took hold of the reasons As he tried to understand But they offered just confusion As they bled into his hands Dear God Couldn't you decide What should happen to a man's assassin Dear God Is it suicide I have never been a man of passions I believe what the prophets said That the oceans hold their dead But at night when the waves are near They whisper And I hear There are wounds that bleed inside us There are wounds we never see They are part of our refinements That allow a man to be There are wounds that bleed in silence With aristocratic grace There are tears we keep beside them Never seen upon a face Dear God Do you think it's wise To remember everything that's ever happened Dear God Could we compromise Or must the shadows of this night be everlasting I believe what the prophets said That the oceans hold their dead As I contemplate this stand What I do Is who I am I believe what the prophets said That the oceans hold their dead But at night when the waves are near They whisper And I hear Don't see the storms are forming Don't see or heed the warning Don't hear the sound of tyrants Surrounded by the silence Columbus and Magellan and De Gama Sailed upon an ocean In a world of ignorance With thoughts so primitive That men were killed With no more will Than that they simply had the notion But in this world of heartless men This thing they never did Don't hear it Don't hear it Don't hear it-acap |

I see a little man sitting and he's wondering
If over his little plot he might be king And he finds his present world a little boring There's no land that is so small that it cannot divide So come, I'll draw the line and you just pick your side Ignoring anyone who gives a warning [Chorus] For I am the answer you seek, the dream in your sleep You never wanted to awaken I have the plan that won't fail, a crime without trail And all I really need right now is you! I see a little man, thinking that he might need more And so his eyes are drifting to the house next door He wonders if his neighbors might be leaving So he makes a little offer that they'll understand There is no point in letting things get out of hand For no one wants to see their widows grieving [Chorus] I am the word without deeds, the lie that exceeds For lies are always most impatient I am the guide for the lost, who never counts cost And all I really need right now is you! All I really need right now is you! All I really need right now is you! All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you! I see a little man sitting and he's wondering All I really need right now is you! You! You! You! You! You! |

We dared to ask for more
But that was long before The nights began to burn You would have thought we'd learned You can't make promises All based upon tomorrow Happiness, security Are words we only borrowed For is this the answer to our prayers? Is this what god has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant The future couldn't last We nailed it to the past With every word a trap That no one can take back From all the architects Who find their towers leaning And every prayer we pray at night Has somehow lost its meaning For is this the answer to our prayers? Is this what got has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant A long time ago when the world was pretty Standing right here in a different city I'm not coming back anymore Not coming back anymore Is this the answer to our prayers? Is this what god has sent? Please understand this isn't what we meant |

Feel the rush, feel the rush in the back of your head
"Breathe it in, breathe it in," isn't that what they said As you stood in the night 'neath the glow of the fires? Watch it burn, watch it burn, watch it reach through the night Feel the heat, feel the heat as you bask in its light As the puppets hang upon their wires [Chorus] I've lost my way, kneel down and pray It all decays, it takes me down, down, down Like the minister said, like the minister said Where this all has led, dead winter dead Can you hear what I hear in the back of your mind As you stand on the stage when they tell you it's time To read words from a past you can't remember? Gotta keep what you have, tell me what is it for If it made sense my friend well then not anymore Every dream I'm told has its December [Chorus] |

One child stood before the altar
One child stood out in the rain One child spent his time imagining And I don't believe he's coming home again, home again, home a... (chorus) Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find A tunnel out so we all can be saved If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave One child hid inside the darkness One child never said a thing One child closed his eyes and disappeared But at night I still can hear him whispering, whispering, whisper... (chorus) Right there in the earth, I've been drawing a line I'm digging it deep, don't know if I'll find A tunnel out so we all can be saved If not, just take this earth and bury me, for this will be my grave (lead breakcoda) I will believe in you If you still want me to Or tell me I'm on my own There on the other side Tell me the Pilate's died And we're no longer alone (bridge) Take your answers and your promises, believe me I don't care I have held on to your words until I found them only air What good are your promises if you can always take them back? Still, I hang on every word till my hands are bleeding (coda) I will believe in you If you still want me to Or tell me I'm on my own There on the other side Tell me the Pilate's died And we're no longer alone (simultaneously) I will believe in you We had no choice but to stay and follow If you still want me to We have nothing left except tomorrow Or tell me I'm on my own We have nothing left except what will be There on the other side What we need here are some real deci |

No life's so short it can't turn around
You can't spend your life living underground For from above you don't hear a sound And I'm out here waiting I don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating it's not who I am But you know.. it's all that you see No life's so short that it never learns No flame so small that it never burns No page so sure that it never turns And I'm out here waiting I don't understand what you want me to be It's the dark you're hating it's not who I am But you know.. it's all that you see Can you live your life in a day putting every moment in play? Never hear a word that they say as the wheels go around Tell me if you win would it show - in a thousand years who would know? As a million lives come and go on this same piece of ground.. I've been waiting I don't understand who you want me to be It's the dark you're hating It's not who I am but i know it's all that you see I swear on tomorrow if you take this chance Our lives are this moment the music - the dance And here in this labyrinth of lost mysteries I close my eyes on this night and you're all that I see |
