1.The Apparition
Now I'm here can you see me
'Cos I'm out on my own
When the room goes cold tell me you can feel me
... 'cos I'm here
Here I am can you see me
Passing through on my way
To a place where I'd been to only in my dreams
... before
In a world of delusion
Never turn your back on a friend
'Cause you can count your real true friends on one hand
... through life
There are those that decieve you
There are those that'll let you down
Is there someone out there that would die for you
... thought not
Live your life with a passion
Everything you do, do well
You get out of life what you put in
... so they say
In a world of confusion
People never say what they mean
If you want a straight answer go look for one
... right now
In a room full of strangers
Do you stand with your back to the wall
Do you sometimes feel like you're on the outside
... looking in?
You can make your own luck
You can create your destiny
I believe you have the power if you want to
... it's true
You can do what you want to
If you try a little bit harder
A little bit of faith goes a long way
... it does
Are we here for a reason?
I'd like to know just what you think
It would be nice to know what happens when we die
... wouldn't it?
There are some who are wise
There are some who are born naive
I believe that there are some that have lived before
... don't you?
As for me well I'm thinking
You gotta keep an open mind
But I hope my life is not an open and
... shut case
Extra Sensory Perception
Life After Death telepathy
Can the soul live on and travel through
... space and time
You know I feel so elated
'Cause I'm about to find it out
And when I know all the answers maybe then I'll come back
... to fill you in
You don't be alarmed now
If I try to contact you
If things go missing or get moved around
... it's me
And don't disbelieve it
No matter what your 'friends' might say
We'll meet up again some place some way
... one day
2.Weekend Warrior
The rebel of yesterday tomorrows fool
Who are you kidding being that cool?
Trying to break away from runnung with the pack
But they ain't listening so you've gotta go back
You're a wekkend warrior when you're one of the crowd
But it's over, just look at you now...
You're not so brave the way you behave
It makes you sick gotta get out quick
It's all bravado when you're out with your mates
It's like a different perso goes through those gates
As the game begins the adrenalin's high
Feel the tension, maybe someone will die...
A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you ain't that way anymore
You've gotta get out gotta get away
But you're in with a clique it's not easy to stray
You've gotta admit you're just living a lie
It didn't take long to work out why
It's hard to say why you got involved
just wanting to be part, just wanting to belong...
A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you ain't that way anymore
Some of the things that you've done you feel so ashamed
After all it's only a game... isn't it?
And after all the adrenalin's gone
What you gonna do on monday?
A weekend warrior lately
A weekend warrior sometimes
A weekend warrior maybe you were never like that at all
3.Fear Of The Dark
I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that someones always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's allways there
Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you
Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there
Watching horror films the night before
Debating wiches and folklore
The unkown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that someones always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's allways there
When I'm walking a dark road
I am a man who walkes alone
4.Chains Of Misery
There's a madman in the corner of your eye
He likes to pry - into the sunlight
He wants to burst into the streets with you and I
A world of shadows and of rain
He's seen what love is...
He wants to pay back with guilt...
He lies to you he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned your key
He holds your chains of misery
There's a prophet in the gutter in the street
He say 'You're damned' and you believe him...
He's got a vision but it shines out through your eyes
A world of hatred and fear...
He's felt what love means...
He wants to pay you back with pain...
He lies to you he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned your key
He holds your chains of misery
It's only love that holds the key to our hearts
It's only love...
He lies to you he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned your key
He holds your chains of misery
He lies to you he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned your key
He holds your chains of misery
5.Childhood's End
I'd sail across the ocean
I'd walk a hundred miles
If I could make it to the end
Oh just to see a smile
You see it in their faces
The sadness in their tears
The desperation and the anger
Madness and the fear
No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is here
Starvation and the hunger
The suffering and the pain
The agonies of all - out war
When will it come again
The struggle for the power
A tyrant strikes again
Just what the hell is going on
When will it ever end
No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, just greed is here
You see the full moon float
You watch the red sun rise
We take these things for granted
But somewhere someones dying
Contaminated waters
Pollution and decay
Just waitng for disease to stike
Oh will we learn someday?
No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, no seed
Childhood's end
6.From Here To Eternity
She fell in love with his geasy machine
She leaned over wiped his kickstart clean
She'd never seen the beast before
But she left there wanting more more more
When she was walking on down the road
She heard a sound that made her heart explode
He wispered to her to get on the back
'I'll take you on a ride form here to eternity'
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
She must be having one of her crazy dreams
She never sat on a piece so mean
It made her feel like she on cloud nine
She even thought she heard the engine sigh
But like all dreams that come to an end
They took a tumble at the devil's bend
The beast and charlotte they were two of a kind
They'd always take the line from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place
Hell is from here to eternity
7.Fear Is The Key
We live our lives in fever
In a choking sweat of fear
In the heat of the night you can feel so much
In the heat of the night I scream 'Don't touch!'
I remember a time when we used and abused
And we fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time we thought that passion was free
In the heart of the night... bodies aflame
We live in fever...
I hear your secret heartbeat
I can hear your silent cries
The kids have lost their freedom
And nobody cares 'til somebody famous dies
I remember a time when we used and abused
And we fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time we thought that passion was free
In the heart of the night... bodies aflame
Now we live in a world of uncetainty
Fear is the key - to what you want to be
You don't get a say the majority gets it's way
You're outnumbered by the bastards till the day you die...
8.Judas Be My Guide
Lights out - we live in a world of darkness
No doubt - everythings up for sale
We sleep - all of the world is burning
We pray - to God for a better deal
Nothing is sacred - back then or now
Everything's wasted
Is that all there is?
Can I go now?
Judas my guide
whispers in the night
Judas my guide
Fight wars - die in a blaze of glory
Come home - meat in plastic sack
Fall down - you better pray to your God for mercy
So kneel - and help the blade cut clean
Nothing is sacred - back then or now
Everything's wasted
Is that all there is?
Is that it now?
I live in the black
I have no guiding light
I'm whispering in your dreams...
Judas my guide
whispers in the night
Judas my guide
Judas my guide
whispers in the night
Judas my guide
9.Be Quick Or Be Dead
Covered in sinners
and dripping with guilt
Making your money from slime and from filth
Parading your bellies in ivory towers
Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers
You got to watch them - be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven the thief in your head
You got to watch them - be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven the thief in your head
Be quick!
Or be dead!
Be quick!
Or be dead!
See... what's ruling all our lives
See... who's pulling strings
See... what's ruling all our lives
See... who's pulling strings
I bet you won't fall on your face
Your belly will hold you in place
The serpent is crawling inside of your ear
He sais you must vote for what you want to hear
Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright
So pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind
10.The Fugitive
On a cold October morning
As frost lay on the ground
Waiting to make my move I made no sound
Waiting for the mist
To cover all around
I carefully picked my time then took the wall
I'm sick and tired of running
The hunger and the pain
A stop to look about then off again
Being at the wrong place
And at the wrong time
Suspected of a hit that was my crime
I am a fugitive being hunted down like game
I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name
Even if I find them
And get to clear my name
I know that things can never be the same
But if I ever proof
My innocence some day
I've got to get them all to make them pay
I am a fugitive being hunted down like game
I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name
11.Afraid To Shoot Strangers
Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not the fear 'cos I'd rather go now
Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert sand mound a burial ground
When it comes to time
Are we partners in crime?
When it comes to time
We'll be ready to die
God let us go now and finish what's to be done
Thy kingdom come Thy shall be done... on earth
Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should we live and let live forget or forgive
But how can we let them go on this way?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there's no other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
12.Wasting Love
Maybe one day I'll be an honest man
Up till now I'm doing the best I can
Long roads, long days,
of sunrise to sunset, sunrise to sunset
Dream on brother while you can
Dream on sister I hope you find the one
All of our lives covered up quickly by the tides of time
Spend your days full of emptyness
Spend your years full of lonliness
Waisting love in a desperate caress
Rolling shadows of nights
Dream on brother while you can
Dream on sister I hope you find the one
All of our lives covered up quickly by the tides of time
Sands are flowing and the lines are in your hand
In your eyes I see the hunger
And the desperate cry that tears the night
