It is the night
My body's weak I'm on the run No time for sleep I've got to ride Ride like the wind To be free again I was born the son Of a lawless man Always spoke my mind With a gun in my hand Lived nine lives Gunned down ten Gonna ride like the wind And I've got such a long way to go To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind Accused and tried and Told to hang I was nowhere in sight When the church bells rang Never was the kind To do as I was told Gonna ride like the wind Before I get old And I've got such a long way to go To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind It is the night My body's weak I'm on the run No time for sleep I've got to ride Ride like the wind To be free again And I've got such a long way to go To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind And I've got such a long way to go To make it to the border of Mexico So I'll ride like the wind Ride like the wind 02. Where The Lightning Strikes
Traveling down life's highway
We carry the heavy load Where will we be, be tomorrow Somewhere down the road We won't forget the friends We made along the way Soon we'll be together Together one fine day Where the lightning strikes Is where we're gonna be Stood on the edge of tomorrow There waits our destiny I hear the sound of rolling thunder The beating of a drum There's many been, been before us There's many yet to come We see the day The new day dawning It's just begun We march into the future Towards the rising sun (See the light, hear the thunder, the new day) Beyond the wide, the wide horizon There's many paths to tread A journey filled, filled with wonder Is waiting just ahead Where the lightning strikes Is where we're gonna be Stood on the edge of tomorrow There waits our destiny Where the lightning strikes Is where we're gonna be Stood on the edge of tomorrow There waits our destiny 03. I Can't Wait Anymore
You keep me waiting, you won't answer your phone
I know you're home but you're not alone Stop playing games, girl You're playing with my heart I was a fool to fall for you lies It took so long for me to open my eyes I was a stranger A stranger from the start But how long must I stand out in the cold Can't you see the writing's on the wall I've been waiting I can't wait anymore I can't wait anymore I can't wait anymore The more I want you, the less I get I've been alone since the day that we met I'm trying hard, girl I'm trying to forget I walked the streets, I stood at your door You gave me nothing and I came back for more You were a stranger A stranger to my heart But how long must I stand out in the cold Can't you see the writing's on the wall I've been waiting I can't wait anymore I can't wait anymore I can't wait anymore I was a fool to fall for your lies It took so long for me to realize I was a stranger A stranger from the start But how long must I stand out in the cold Can't you see the writing's on the wall I've been waiting I can't wait anymore I can't wait anymore I can't wait anymore I can't wait anymore [Repeat to end] 04. Calm Before The Storm
My father used to work the seam
Far below the ground Digging for the coal to melt the steel But now he stands a lonely man Idle and forlorn Just like the iron wheels That took him down I can't stop my tears from falling Falling down like rain Your words of wisdom Call to me I hang my head in shame We're living in the calm before the storm We're living in the calm before the storm He used to be the fisherman Who sailed the mighty sea Searching for the harvest from the deep But now the fleets are rusting hulks Anchored at the quay Floating on a cold gray empty sea I can't stop my tears from falling Falling down like rain Your words of wisdom Call to me I hang my head in shame We're living in the calm before the storm We're living in the calm before the storm My father was a working man He gave his life to me His spirit reaches out through time And guides my destiny I can't stop my tears from falling Falling down like rain Your words of wisdom Call to me I hang my head in shame We're living in the calm before the storm We're living in the calm before the storm We're living in the calm before the storm We're living in the calm before the storm 05. S.O.S. (Too Bad)
The band played and the cameras turned
As the bottle smashed on her bow The flagship of the gilded age Moved slowly out to sea Never had such luxury Been seen afloat before They said she was unsinkable The fools were wrong once more S. - S.O.S. We're sinking fast You better get to the boats S. - S.O.S. The captain cried For God sakes save your souls Sailing on into the night Toward the northern star Laughter rang, people danced Under crystal chandeliers No one sensed the danger In the unforgiving sea Steaming into legend A voyage into history S. - S.O.S. We're sinking fast You better get to the boats S. - S.O.S. The captain cried For God sakes save your souls 2000 tortured souls cry out Cry out from their sleep Damned to spend eternity Travelers of the deep S. - S.O.S. We're sinking fast You better get to the boats S. - S.O.S. The captain cried For God sakes save your souls [Repeat to end] 06. Song For Emma
Emma stands alone tonight
Staring at the stars Trying to find the reason why Her world was torn apart She's sick and tired of trying to keep The wolves back from the door She couldn't stand the pain Tried to come in from the rain She was a victim of her heart Is there no one to blame What happened to the dreams she had Visions of her life Now they're only shadows Fading in the night She's given up believing Turned her back and slammed the door She couldn't stand the pain Tried to come in from the rain She was a victim of her heart Is there no one to blame No one to blame No one to blame No one to blame Emma weeps alone tonight Passion was her crime No one hears her cry for help Her back's against the wall She's standing on the very edge She's waiting for the fall She couldn't stand the pain Tried to come in from the rain She was a victim of her heart Victim of her heart She couldn't stand the pain Tried to come in from the rain She was a victim of her heart Is there no one to blame 07. For Whom The Bell Tolls
A city divided
The West and the East Tear down the walls Give them release People are marching They're out in the streets Shouting for freedom Shouting for peace How many more children Must die on the wall They'll never be free Until the bell tolls The toll of the bell Is Liberty's song A city united Is where they belong A push of the button And everything's gone Total destruction Comes with the bomb How many more children Must die on the wall They'll never be free Until the bell tolls How many more children Must die on the wall They'll never be free 08. We Are Strong
Life keeps kicking you down
But you come back for more You take all the knocks Pick yourself up off the floor Everyone's looking for someone To hold in the night Believe in yourself, stand tall And take up the fight We are strong We will survive We are strong We will survive Somebody gets all the breaks But it's never you Maybe today is the day You'll pull through Everyone's chasing their dream At the end of the rainbow You gotta follow your heart That's where you have to go We are strong We will survive We are strong We will survive Battered and torn Ride out the storm Break through the clouds of night And head on home Life keeps kicking you down But you come back for more You take all the knocks Pick yourself up off the floor Everyone's looking for someone To hold in the night Believe in yourself, stand tall And take up the fight We are strong We will survive We are strong We will survive 09. Jericho Siren
Out of the sky came the sound of thunder
Hiding the sun from your sight Remember the screams of the Jericho siren Howling like wolves in the night Attack! They are coming with the dawn Attack! Your city's going to fall Jericho siren Jericho siren Run for your lives run with the refugee They're pounding you blow after blow Your country is burning the screams of humanity Rise from ashes below Attack! They are coming with the dawn Attack! Your city's going to fall Jericho siren Jericho siren Jericho siren Jericho siren Out of the sky came the sound of thunder Hiding the sun from your sight Remember the screams of the Jericho siren Howling like wolves in the night Attack! They are coming with the dawn Attack! Your city's going to fall Jericho siren Jericho siren Jericho siren Jericho siren 10. Red Alert
We were on the Russian border
When the news began to break Of a nuclear reactor melting down Sending deadly clouds of dust Into the atmosphere Falling down like rain upon the ground We were laying in the sun Listening to the radio When someone said you'd better get inside We didn't know how serious The situation was That many people to the North had died Red alert, red alert Screaming in my head There's something I'm not sure of going down Red alert, red alert Screaming in the night That fallout seems to follow me around We made out way to Hungary Got ready for the show Thinking we were safe there From the storm But the deadly cloud was high above Taken by the wind Spreading like a plague across the land A threat you couldn't see Nothing you could feel Something evil floating in the air Look towards the East For the danger yet to come For the Earth We make a silent prayer Red alert, red alert Screaming in my head There's something I'm not sure of going down Red alert, red alert Screaming in the night That fallout seems to follow me around We were on the Russian border When the news began to break Of a nuclear reactor melting down Sending deadly clouds of dust Into the atmosphere Falling down like rain upon the ground Red alert, red alert Screaming in my head There's something I'm not sure of going down Red alert, red alert Screaming in the night That fallout seems to follow me around |
