01. Starting Over

Time standing still
In this place on a dark day
Your soul is gone
I can't live without you

My life won't be the same
I know it's gonna change
I lost a piece of my heart
I've got to start all over again

I close my eyes
I see your face and I feel your breath
I stare to the sky
I never did say goodbye

My life won't be the same
I know it's gonna change
I lost a piece of my heart
I've got to start all over again

My life won't be the same
I know it's gonna change
I lost a piece of my heart
I've got to start all over again

I wonder where you are
I wonder why I'm here
Please tell me Lord, you know it
Oh, why God, why not take me instead
Starting over again, I'm so alone
I'm starting over again, oh

02. Believe

I, I've been searching around all the time
I know that I'll find peace of mind
In a place that I will call my own
In a place that I will call my home, call my home

We, we live to know where we will go
When the end comes I'll find a new road
But this time I just hope I'm not wrong
In my mind I just hope I belong

I will fight forever
I will fight to be free
You just make me stronger
Because I do believe

Now it's time to go down the right path
Something that I know will last
To bring out the passion inside
To bring out what's deep in my mind

I will fight forever (I'll fight forever)
I will fight to be free (I will be free)
You just make me stronger (you make me stronger)
Because I do believe

Oh, ya got to believe, yea
Gotta believe in me, believe in you
Ya gotta believe, gotta believe
In everything you do

03. The Cover Up

They've seen you all around the world
Looking for chosen ones
I wonder if it's true, are they here
I see you looking up and trying to find the lights
Among the trillion stars, there is life somewhere

Look to the sky, they have arrived
They're here among us, for years they've survived
This hidden secret, what do they want
A governmental cover up

In 1947 they travelled here to experiment
They crashed into the field, they would never leave
The alien nation's here, I think it's gonna change
We must destroy them and save the human race

Look to the sky, they have arrived
They're here among us, for years they've survived
This hidden secret, what do they want
A governmental cover up

They are out there, it's not a dream
It's not a nightmare, can't hear your scream

Now we're looking all around the world to find the aliens
And we will find them, they'll crash and burn
So you keep looking up and try to find the light
These beings are not our friend, this you will learn

Look to the sky, they have arrived
They're here among us, for years they've survived
This hidden secret, what do they want
A governmental cover up

They are out there, they are out there
Can you see them, can you feel them
They are out there, they are out there
Can you see them, can you feel them

04. Pick Yourself Up

I see you looking at me
I think you need my help
Why are you looking at me
I think I know

Your life is getting rougher
I see it every day
You know that life gets tough
It makes you harder

You got to go down
To believe in yourself, so I really can help you
You got to go down
Everything's gonna be OK
You got to go down
I believe in myself and I know you will help me
Now you know what's real and you're not blinded

I see you coming towards me
I will not turn my back
I know the pain you're feeling
Won't last long

You ask what's out there people
You won't believe your eyes
Why don't you look around you
We will help you

You got to go down
To believe in yourself, so I really can help you
You got to go down
Everything's gonna be OK
You got to go down
I believe in myself and I know you will help me
Now you know what's real and you're not blinded

You got to go down, yea
Ya got to go down, to pick yourself up
Ya gotta go down, believe in yourself, ya gotta go down

You got to go down
To believe in yourself, so I really can help you
You got to go down
Everything's gonna be OK
You got to go down
I believe in myself and I know you will help me
You got to go down
Now you know what's real and you're not blinded

05. It Is Me

You can't feel me at all
I am hiding behind the wall

Look out behind you, what do you see
I'll bet you see nothing, because it is me

If you think that you're the one
And if you're next, don't try to run

Look out behind you, what do you see
I'll bet you see nothing, because it is me

Look out behind you, what do you see
I'll bet you see nothing, because it is me

You'll feel my rush when your time is near
For it is me that you shall fear

Look out behind you, what do you see
I'll bet you see nothing, because it is me
Look out behind you, what do you see
I'll bet you see nothing, because it is me
It is me
It is me
It is me
It is me

06. No Good Goodbyes

I see your fear
You know it's clear
Your fear, oh it's clear

Say what you want to
It comes out lies
Believe what you want to
No good goodbyes (no goodbyes)

You take control
Without a soul
You control, with no soul

Say what you want to
It comes out lies
Believe what you want to
There's no good goodbyes

Your fear, you should beware

Say what you want to
It comes out lies
Believe what you want to
No good goodbyes

No goodbyes?no good goodbyes

07. To Live Again

I sit here and I think of the time
Oh, the time that I wasted
I didn't know what tomorrow would bring
There wasn't a plan, there wasn't anything

I will not look back, the winds of change are here
I am finally free, it's time to live again

I wonder if I'd done things in a different way
I wonder if I'd listened to my peers
Just listened to what they had to say (they said)
This could be a mistake

I will not look back, the winds of change are here
I am finally free, it's time to live again

I will not look back, the winds of change are here
I am finally free, it's time to live again

It's a new day and everyday is a better day
If only I had listened to what the people said
Everything's not always what it seems

It's time to live again
(I will not look back)
It's time to live again
(The winds of change are here)
Oh I will, I will live again
(I am finally free)
(It's time to live again)
I will live again

08. The World Is Blind

You wait 'till someone comes and opens up your eyes
And shows you all the places you don't want to be
A frozen Russian city, the tundra of Siberia
Pollution is so bad that when it snows the snow is black

Just take a look around you
The answers you will find
To see the world is blind

Now you see this place you live it's not so bad
But still there are some people who could use your help
A place like Africa, malaria is all around
3,000 children's lives are taken every day

Just take a look around you
The answers you will find
To see the world is blind

Take a look around you
Is there something that you don't like now
Can you hear me, can you hear me now
Children listen, children listen to me
We got everything you need
Hold your head up, got to hold your head up high

You'll see, I wonder why we complain
Everything that we have is just insane
When there's parts of the world that's in pain
So take a look around, the answers there you'll find
You'll see that the world is blind

The world is blind?the world is blind
The world is blind?the world is blind
The world is blind?the world is blind
The world is blind?the world is blind
The world is blind?the world is blind

09. The Light

Ya gotta see it, I know it's out there
Ya gotta feel it, it must be Heaven

I see the light, it's right there in front of me
They say, everything will be OK

If you believe it, then you will see it
No asking questions, it is forever
It's getting so warm, it's getting so bright
I'll leave this world I love to take my final flight

I see the light, it's right there in front of me
They say there is no need to pray

It is time (please don't be afraid)
Don't be left behind (you can't be saved)

Just keep on walking (just keep on walking)
Just keep on walking (just keep on walking)
Into the after life
Just keep on walking (just keep on walking)
Just keep on walking (just keep on walking)
Into the after life

I see the light, it's right there in front of me
They say, don't walk away from the light
There's no need to fight
I see the light, it's right there in front of me
They say, don't be afraid of the light

Walk towards the light? you got to
Walk towards the light? mmm
Walk towards the light? you got to
Walk towards the light? yea mmm oh
The light, the light, the light

10. Play My Game

You can't stop this, don't you try
Nothing's better, I'll show you why
I'll show you why
I'll show you why, why

That's the way I live
I'm just a little insane
If you think you can beat me
You come play my game

I feel you staring, can't see your face
It's hard to focus, when at my pace
When at my pace, my pace

That's the way I live
I'm just a little insane
If you think you can beat me
You come play my game

That's the way I live
I'm just a little insane
If you think you can beat me
You come play my game

That's the way I live
I'm just a little insane
If you think you can beat me
You come play my game
Come play my game

11. Death Race

Driving fast along the shoreline
Kicked into gear with speeds that kill
All's a blur I'm going so fast
I don't know if I will survive

Hold on, you need to set the pace
With breakneck speeds they call this a death race

Foot to the floor there is no breaking
A will to win that's what you need
You have no friends you'll just keep faking
You just keep raging until the end

Hold on, you need to set the pace
With breakneck speeds they call this a death race

Down the stretch there's no time to rest
He tries to pass it will be his last
With one last turn he takes a deep breath
For this will be his last race of death

You got to!

Hold on, you need to set the pace
With breakneck speeds they call this a death race

12. The Shadows Are Alive

As the daylight fades you must go inside
Cause this is a story of a man in the night

The black sky is closing in on you
A child prays, she is one of the lucky few

Eyes of fire, spawned from Hell
Evil's here, the shadows are alive

In the darkness the victims he will find
With piercing eyes he leaves no one behind

Eyes of fire, spawned from Hell
Evil's here, the shadows are alive

In the streets he lurks until the dawn
A lifeless body, it lays on the ground

A chill is in the air, the town it lives in fear
They must destroy the beast, its maker it will meet

Oh, oh

Eyes of fire, spawned from Hell
Evil's here, the shadows are alive
Eyes of fire, spawned from Hell
Evil's here, the shadows are alive
