At Vance - VII lyrics



Tracks



01. Breaking The Night

Lying awake watching the pale white moon
Darkness and silence still cover my dreams
And I can't get nowhere near
Do these pieces go together at all

Face the fear, can't you hear
Voices are calling, but no one's here
Waste no tear screaming the night to break free

Before the dawn night spread their velvet wings
Don't be afraid morning will come for you
Breaking the night with the sun

But even you know illusions can fool your mind
Daring to see what is behind the mask
So what's on the other side
All these faces keep their eyes on you

Face the fear, can't you hear
Voices are calling, but no one's here
Waste no tear screaming the night to break free

Before the dawn night spread their velvet wings
Don't be afraid morning will come for you
Breaking the night with the sun

02. Shiver

Though your blood runs through my veins
I have a hard time to play this game
You have seen me fall before
I still need you to let me go

Shivers the spine when I'm alive
Shivers the spine when I die

Please don't leave me all alone
I have love that I've never shown
All those years I lived in vain
Please don't force me through all this pain

Why can't life be fair - War is in the air
I can't seem to find - To God I am blind

Shivers the spine when I'm alive
Shivers the spine when I die

All this pain... All this pain... All this pain...

Shivers the spine when I'm alive
Shivers the spine when I die

03. Cold As Ice

I saw many faces as I turn these pages
But I don't know where we went wrong
Tell me now what I can do, I'm saving all my prayers for you
We both know that we can turn the wheels of time

You're cold as ice, I've seen your eyes
And you never try to tell me lies

You know that I'll never take less than forever
Why won't you stay, what can I say
Don't you make a fool of me, show me all so I can see
We're just friends but I can't take your lies again

You're cold as ice, you've rolled the dice
And you never try to tell me lies

Through the eyes of darkness I can't see the light
Standing tall against the rain that I will fight
Never share the secrets leading to your soul
Behind the mask of wisdom lies a big black hole

You're cold as ice, I've seen your eyes
And you never try to tell me lies
You're cold as ice, you've rolled the dice
And you never try to tell me lies

04. Victory

Who do you think are you going to be
What will you do, can't you answer me
Winter or summer I will take the fame
From chaos to mayhem and you are to blame

Can you enlighten the dark
Do your words tell the truth
Do we share the same point of view
So why is your face full of doubt... tell me the truth

Who will take the victory
Into his heart and his soul
Tell me who wants to live

Who gave you the right to just point and decide
Who's gonna live on the other side

Choosing this life to be free out of hell
Running and fighting till I hear the bell
Winter or summer I will take the fame
From chaos to mayhem and you are to blame

Can you enlighten the dark
Do your words tell the truth
Do we share the same point of view
So why is your face full of doubt... tell me the truth

Who will take the victory
Into his heart and his soul
Tell me who wants to live

Who gave you the right to just point and decide
Who's gonna live on the other side

05. Friendly Fire

They were young at heart
Wild and free
Faith was their belief
To kill their enemies
They were marching on and on

Together as one, unite to be strong
Heading where they belong

They were crossing the field
With a gun in their hand
Raisin' their shields
As they walk across the land
Now and forever

They were born to fall, for the sake of war
Heading towards the call

One for all and all for one
Friendly fire has taken them all

Come on

I just run without directions
Hours feel like days
I've been hunting like a madman
Blindly in the haze
For my God and country

Together as one, unite to be strong
Heading where they belong

Burning all my bridges
Just can't find my way out
My life is torn in pieces
I just I just gotta shout
For my God and country

They were born to fall, for the sake of war
Heading towards the call

One for all and all for one
Friendly fire has taken them all

06. Golden Leaves

Don't you remember that seasons may change
Did you forget 'bout the summer's joy
Where's all the power an' where is the strength
This ain't a road with no end
...Keep on tearing down these walls
To reveal all your hopes and your dreams

Summer's dream is gone with the wind
Pages will turn and time still moves on
But you have to believe what the future will bring

And when those golden leaves are fallin' down
They carry all your dreams and hopes
For pride and glory
And when you see those fields in autumn burnin'
If fills your heart with sorrow
And you can't escape from here

Winter is coming, so prepare your mind
You can't imagine what cold will destroy
Weaker and weaker it comes from behind
So there's no way in your life for you to survive
And reveal all your hopes and your dreams

Summer's dream is gone with the wind
Pages will turn and time still moves on
But you have to believe what the future will bring

And when those golden leaves are fallin' down
They carry all your dreams and hopes
For pride and glory
And when you see those fields in autumn burnin'
If fills your heart with sorrow
And you can't escape from here

07. Answer Me

Answer me - Open your heart
Answer me - Take me in your arms
Answer me

I'm all by myself, just the wind in my hair
I take another step but I don't really care
All my thoughts go out to you
I'm lost in nowhere, there's nothing left to do

I take another breath but my heart seems to freeze
I'm losing the ground so won't you answer please
I'm a broken man with nothing left to loose
I'm down on my knees you made me pay my dues

Answer me - Hear my call - Open your heart
Answer me - Release my pain - Take me in your arms
And all these tears I've cried for you
I'm sendin' out my love to you
Now that you're gone

I open the door but it seems to be locked
I'm runnin' round in circles, I realize that I'm trapped
And all that I feel is that I'm runnin' insane
My wounds don't seem to heal
And the pain remains the same

You take away my breath
And I'm slaved by your thoughts
It feels like I'm deaf and I'm wasting all my words
I'm a broken man but my arms are open wide
Tryin' my best to make things turn out right

Answer me - Hear my call - Open your heart
Answer me - Release my pain - Take me in your arms
And all these tears I've cried for you
I'm sendin' out my love to you
Now that you're gone

Answer me - Open your heart
Answer me - Take me in your arms
Answer me

08. Shine

I can't get a hold of all of these thoughts
They just keep running into my mind
Surrounded by dreams, closer than it seems
They just take me away

On and on, heading for your call

Shine - Break the night with fire, open up the sky
Burn - Light a candle so that I can find my way
Holding our world in your hand
Live - Living for the moment, don't live day by day
Truth - Face yourself and don't you try to run away
Taken our dream to eternity

Hiding the mask, never to be found
Freeing your soul from the ground
As I move on trying to get where I belong
Dying to find my way

On and on, trying to get it all

Shine - Break the night with fire, open up the sky
Burn - Light a candle so that I can find my way
Holding our world in your hand
Live - Living for the moment, don't live day by day
Truth - Face yourself and don't you try to run away
Taken our dream to eternity

09. Truth

Run away, dry a tear, tel a lie, I'll be listening
Hunting high, you and I, take a ride, into forever

I can see what you're thinking
So don't you try to convince me

Can you feel all the strength that's in your heart
Speak the truth and you'll never fall apart

Lie, and all your wishes come true
Truth, at the edge of extinction
Scream, and they always remember

I believe, you'll see, just a game, that I'm playing
Never die, don't you cry, there will be no more sorrow

No one knows what you're seeing
So I will forever believe you

Can you feel all the strength that's in your heart
Speak the truth and you'll never fall apart

Lie, and all your wishes come true
Truth, at the edge of extinction
Scream, and they always remember
Lie, and all your wishes come true

10. Lost In Your Love

The summer breeze in your hair
It seems to be so warm and tender
Is your love really true
That it can't stand anything

Where we gotta go through
Then I'll send my love to you

Through the dark and the night
Through the day and the light
I will hold you forever
Anywhere that you go
I would share all my dreams
But it seems that you don't understand

That I am lost in your love
Cause you
Came like a force from above
So I will open my heart
Won't you try
Try to make a new start

But times may change as they say
But my love for you is far beyond their range
Nobody's with me and as I'm on my way
Watchin' the waves in the sea, searchin' for my destiny
