A brief encounter
Like wind through the trees It came so suddenly But then it was gone Like it had never been How could I have ever seen A lost heart Will take your soul How could I have known How could I have known As she took me in her arms And brought me to an end With the kiss of death The kiss of death She promised paradise As she lied upon her bed Like a fallen angel With the devil's charm She promised paradise With the kiss of death I tried to stop As she held out her hand But the fire was burning inside She knew what i wanted She gave it and more But now I must pay the price We were strangers Passing in the night How could I have known How could I have known As she took me in her arms And brought me to an end With the kiss of death The kiss of death She promised paradise As she lied upon her bed Like a fallen angel With the devil's charm She promised paradise With the kiss of death As she took me in her arms I felt the devil's charm Suddenly I see The final destiny With the kiss of death The kiss of death She promised paradise As she lied upon her bed Like a fallen angel With the devil's charm She promised paradise With the kiss of death With the kiss of death 02. Prisoner Music by George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, Mick Brown Lyrics by George Lynch, Jeff Pilson
It wasn't just your innocence
No, It wasn't temptation It was just your own way Of placing the blame on me Stop thinking that it's all the name You keep trading your love for pain Someday her answer will come 'Cause there ain't no way to escape Baby I'm a prisoner Chained by love It's so easy to see I can never be free I'm a prisoner Chained by love The answer for your loneliness Is only frustration So you gave it all away By placing the blame on me Remember how it used to be Your lies won't ----- that easily Something's wrong Why can't you see There ain't no way to escape Baby I'm a prisoner Chained by love It's so easy to see I can never be free I'm a Prisoner Chained by love Chained by love It's so easy to see I can never be free I'm a Prisoner Chained by love ---- and misery 'Cause I'm a prisoner Did my time so let me be Let me go Your holding me Someday her answer will come, you wait Something's wrong Why can't you see That there ain't no way to escape Escape Baby I'm a prisoner Chained by love It's so easy to see I can never be free I'm a Prisoner Chained by love Chained by love It's so easy to see I can never be free I'm a Prisoner Chained by love Chained by love It's so easy to see I can never be free I'm a prisoner Chained by love 03. Night By Night Music & lyrics by Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, Mick Brown
It's bad enough being under control
Same thing every day Then at night There's a place we can go Where nothing can stand in our way Night by night I can't keep it away Night by night Not living for the day Night by night It's now or never So baby can't you see? We're living night by night It's just you and me Living night by night We're living night by night We never see the light of day So baby can't you see? We're living night by night yeah, we're living it night by night The night is all that we need I got a lot But I wanna have more Things just haven't been right I'll show you to my paradise And let you see the light It's now or never Get out of the way It's now or never So baby can't you see We're living night by night It's just you and me Living night by night We're living night by night We never see the light of day So baby can't you see We're living night by night Yeah, we're living it night by night The night is all that we need When the shadows come Might be no moon at all You can never tell When you're under the spell The night is all that we need It's now or never Get out of the way It's now or never So baby can't you see? We're living night by night It's just you and me Living night by night We're living night by night We never see the light of day So baby can't you see? We're living night by night It's just you and me Living night by night We're living night by night We never see the light of day Night by night We're living night by night Night by night We're living night by night Night by night We're living night by night Night by night We're living night by night 04. Standing In The Shadows Music by Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson Lyrics by Don Dokken, Jeff Pilson
He was a desperate man
They couldn't understand He wanted more from life It was his one device Yeah, he fell tried and hung When the lights were low Yeah it was in his eyes And it was no surprise Through the streets at night He's smiling like no other As he paid again Look to find another Standing in the shadows Watching the world go by Standing in the shadows He was looking Looking for a place to hide He felt this way before And knew he wanted more He knew the dawn would come And he'd be on the run But still they drove him on Like a loaded gun His time was running out And he realized that he'd been here before Like a scream in the night For his crime they showed no pity Even though they'd done the same It's the way of life in the city Standing in the shadows Watching the world go by Standing in the shadows He was looking Looking for a place to hide Lock your doors Standing in the shadows Watching the world go by He was standing in the shadows Looking Looking for a place Standing in the shadows He was standing in the shadows Watching the world Standing in the shadows Standing in the shadows He was standing in the shadows Standing in the shadows Standing in the shadows 05. Heaven Sent Music by Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson Lyrics by Don Dokken, Jeff Pilson
There seems no justice
When you fall in love It gives you blindness When you are the one The one that's hurting 'Cause they got the gun There seems no justice When you fall in love Save me Don't let me fall Heaven sent I heard the call Stop me Don't let me go Touch my heart Then let me know Heaven sent Thought you would set me Heaven sent Thought it could never be Heaven sent If I had only seen That you were burning the fire in me You took passion Most of my soul But I will come back baby Stronger than before Take my feelings Leave me in pain I will forget you One of these days Stop me From feeling this way Heaven sent You drive me insane Hold me Don't let me go Touch me now Then let me know Heaven sent Though you would set me free Heaven sent Thought it could never be Heaven sent If I had only seen That you were burning the fire in me Passion burned I felt the fire Touch my soul I felt desire Now I see Where we went wrong Am I to blame I've fallen in love Passion burned I felt the fire Touch my soul I felt desire Now I see Where we went wrong Heaven sent But you're not the one Heaven sent Thought you would set me free Heaven sent Thought it could never be Passion burned I felt the fire Heaven sent but baby you're not the one Heaven sent Heaven sent I felt the fire Heaven sent Heaven sent Heaven sent Heaven sent but baby you're not the one 06.

07. So Many Tears Music by Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson Lyrics by Don Dokken, Jeff Pilson
I, yeah, I'm leaving today
Sorry is not enough Like so many things We were lost forever I can't turn the hands of time Back to the way it was I can only go on To find a better road I can't stop you now My back's against the wall There's only so many tears you can cry There's only so many ways you can say goodbye There's only so many tears you can cry There's only so many ways you can say goodbye So many tears you can cry You had such a foolish heart You thought it would last forever But you were the one That brought it to an end Now I'm standing in the rain 'Cause I wasn't there for you Such a fool was I It should have never been I couldn't stop you now My back's against the wall There's only so many tears you can cry There's only so many ways you can say goodbye There's only so many tears you can cry There's only so many ways you can say goodbye So many tears So many tears Only so many tears you can cry You can't change the world Place the blame on me Life goes on without you There's nothing left for me I can't change the world Place the blame on me Life goes on without you And now at last I see There's only so many tears you can cry There's only so many ways you can say goodbye Only so many tears you can cry There's only so many ways you can say goodbye I can't take anymore So many tears Life goes on without you So many tears There's nothing left for me So many tears And now we're lost forever So many tears 08. Burning Like A Flame Music & lyrics by Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, Mick Brown
Never thought our love would last
For so long Time and time again I thought that you would be gone Still we kept love hanging on I guess it's meant to be That your heart still belongs to me And now we've stood the test of time We survived I asked for hope and a chance You gave the key to your heart You used to say that I'm not sincere I'm gonna prove that you're wrong I'm never gonna leave your arms Should've realized before Your love's worth waiting for Don't you know that It's our love that's burning Burning like a flame And you know that It's out love that's never gonna change 'Cause every time I touch you You just make me go insane Don't you know that It's our love that's burning Our love burning like a flame Like a fantasy in the dark You were gone I couldn't say the words That you wanted to hear But baby, now that I see the light I feel it's burning so bright So let's stop wasting all this time Should've seen it all before Our love's worth waiting for Don't you know that It's our love that's burning Burning like a flame And you know that It's out love that's never gonna change 'Cause every time I touch you You just make me go insane Don't you know that It's our love that's burning Our love burning like a flame Should've seen it all before Your love's worth waiting for Don't you know that It's our love that's burning Burning like a flame And you know that It's out love that's never gonna change 'Cause every time I touch you You just make me go insane Don't you know that It's our love that's burning Our love burning like a flame Our love, never gonna change 09. Lost Behind A Wall Music & lyrics by Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, Mick Brown
When the sun fades to black and the night has come
There's a will to survive that's ruled by the gun There's a fear in your eyes and a dream that was lost There's a hand of fate let you die on the cross You never really had a chance Die Mauer muss weg Tear it down All of your life grows cold When you're lost behind the wall All of the dreams you've ever known Will be lost behind the wall Misfortune can hide the freedom to choose The strong will survive and there's no win or lose There's reason to fight but no way to cope It's better to die than to live without hope You never really had a chance Die Mauer muss weg Tear it down All of your life grows cold When you're lost behind the wall All of the dreams you've ever known Will be lost behind the wall Lost behind All of your life grows cold When you're lost behind the wall All of the dreams you've ever known Will be lost behind the wall All of your life grows cold When you're lost behind the wall All of the dreams you've ever known Will be lost behind the wall Lost behind the wall Lost behind the wall 10. Stop Fighting Love Music & lyrics by Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, Mick Brown
I'm the one that loves you
I'm the one that cared Night comes and I think of you alone We've changed Love remains So give me one more chance I'll wait another day Until there's nothing Stop fighting love Baby I just want to know the reason why Stop fighting love Don't say goodbye And you'll be back in my arms again I can make it better I can make it right If only you could try and see the light Someday Someway I'm gonna make you see That I've paid For my mistakes Until there's nothing Stop fighting love Baby I just want to know the reason why Stop fighting love Don't say goodbye Stop fighting love When you gonna tell me, show me you're right Stop fighting love Don't say goodbye And you'll be back in my arms again I let your lust for love excite me You took my heart instead And now there's nothing Stop fighting love Well I just want to know the reason why Stop fighting love Don't say goodbye Stop fighting love Baby there's no reason why Stop fighting love Don't say goodbye And you'll be back in my arms again Stop fighting--stop fighting love Stop fighting--stop fighting love Stop fighting--stop fighting love 11. Cry Of The Gypsy Music by Don Dokken, George Lynch, Jeff Pilson Lyrics by Don Dokken, Jeff Pilson
You say I'm a restless soul
I don't mind If living this way is right I guess I want to be wrong You can say anything you like Still it's my life If I'm on the run It's my freedom of choice Sometimes I can't take anymore I got that feeling Don't wanna stay It's got me reeling You know what they say (hey) Must be the gypsy The cry of the gypsy Must be the gypsy The cry of the gypsy Must be the gypsy in me Sometimes, yeah, I feel so alone But I don't mind As long as you don't close me in Everything will be just fine Don't tell me about society Don't want to hear anymore I got my own cross to bear And it's a heavy load Sometimes I feel it And I just wanna get out Must be a reason That I just wanna shout (hey) Must be the gypsy The cry of the gypsy Must be the gypsy The cry of the gypsy Must be the gypsy in me The cry of the gypsy It's the cry Cry of the gypsy in me Hey The cry of the gypsy Must be the gypsy The cry of the gypsy Must be the gypsy The cry of the gypsy Yeah I'm feeling it now The cry of the gypsy Yeah it's calling for me The cry of the gypsy Must be the cry of the gypsy The cry of the gypsy The cry..the cry of the gypsy The cry of the gypsy Must be the gypsy in me 12. Sleepless Night Music by George Lynch, Jeff Pilson, Mick Brown Lyrics by George Lynch, Jeff Pilson
Oh yeah..
I stay up on the high until the morning Stay in bed until day becomes light I've been so refused Even more confused I wish I could make it right Looks like a sleepless night coming my way Yeah, I knew that I'd be feeling this way On a sleepless night Got a restless mind On a sleepless night I've been waiting for you On a sleepless night Gonna tell you one more time You're all I need on a sleepless night You got tired of the way you were feeling Threw away your ball and chain Your shot in the dark Put a hole in my heart Still I'm the one that's taking the blame Looks like a sleepless night coming my way Yeah, I knew that I'd be feeling this way On a sleepless night I got a restless mind On a sleepless night I've been waiting for you On a sleepless night Gonna tell you one more time You're all I need on a sleepless night On a sleepless night Listen to the music On a sleepless night Try to leave your troubles all behind On a sleepless night Wide awake Lying on the bed Can't find no peace at mind Because it's so hard to unwind Looks like a sleepless nights coming my way Yeah, I knew that I'd be feeling this way On a sleepless night Got a restless mind On a sleepless night I've been praying for you On a sleepless night Gonna tell you one more time You're all I need on a sleepless night On a sleepless night On a sleepless night 13. Dream Warriors Music & lyrics by George Lynch, Jeff Pilson
I lie awake and dread the lonely nights
I'm not alone I wonder if these heavy eyes Can face the unknown When I close my eyes I realize You'll come my way I'm standing in the night alone Forever together With the dream warriors Don't wanna dream no more With the dream warriors And maybe tonight Maybe tonight you'll be gone I feel the touch comin' over me I can't explain I hear the voices callin' out Callin' my name It's the same desire to feel the fire That's comin' your way I'm standing in the night alone Forever together With the dream warriors Don't wanna dream no more With the dream warriors Maybe tonight you'll be gone With the dream warriors Ain't gonna dream no more And maybe tonight Maybe tonight you'll be gone Sweet revenge, the bitter end This time Break the spell of illusion Bound together waiting for you Dream warriors Don't wanna dream no more With the dream warriors Maybe tonight you'll be gone With the dream warriors Ain't gonna dream no more With the dream warriors And maybe tonight Maybe tonight you'll be gone Dream warriors Maybe tonight you'll be gone Dream warriors, forever Dream warriors Maybe tonight you'll be gone Dream warriors |
