We're leaving together,
But still it's farewell And maybe we'll come back, To earth, who can tell? I guess there is no one to blame We're leaving ground Will things ever be the same again? It's the final countdown... We're heading for Venus and still we stand tall Cause maybe they've seen us and welcome us all With so many light years to go and things to be found I'm sure that we'll all miss her so. 02. Rock The Night Music & lyrics by Joey Tempest
I've gone through changes
I've gone through pain But there's not enough reason for me to go insane I know the feeling, when it grows I'm in a rage up from my head down to my toes. You know it ain't easy Running out of thrills You know it ain't easy When you don't know what you want. Rock now, rock the night 'Til early in the morning light Rock now, rock the night You'd better believe it's right. I know my limit Just what it takes When things ain't good enough I just pull the brake Sometimes it's easy Sometimes so tough But just have one thing clear I can't get enough. 03. Carrie Music by Joey Tempest/Mic Michaeli Lyrics by Joey Tempest
When light goes down, I see no reason
For you to cry. We've been through this before In every time, in every season, God knows I've tried So please don't ask for more. Can't you see it in my eyes This might be our last goodbye Carrie, Carrie, things they change my friend Carrie, Carrie, maybe we'll meet again I read your mind, with no intentions Of being unkind, I wish I could explain It all takes time, a whole lot of patience If it's a crime, how come I feel no pain. 04. Danger On The Track Music & lyrics by Joey Tempest
I was heading for the mountains
I had saved so much for you And in the town I left behind me There was nothing left to do. I knew that you were waiting For me to share your life Cause I told you when I left, that When I come back you'll be my wife. But someone was waiting In the shadows of the night Someone was waiting It just didn't feel right. Danger on the track Something told me there were Strangers on my back And I was so right. Maybe I should surrender Maybe I should give it up But the strength I had inside Told me you can never stop. The men wanted to break me Steal and bring me down But I fought for you and later They were lying on the ground. 05. Ninja Music & lyrics by Joey Tempest
Tell me the story, tell me the legend
Tell me the tales of war Tell me just one time, What it was like before Bring me the feeling, right in that moment When a heart for battle cries Find me the treasure where the legend lies. If I were a noble ancient knight I'd stand by your side to rule and fight It will always feel the same When I call out your name. Ninja survive, in dreams I walk by your side Ninja survive, with you there's no need to hide. A handful of sayings are more than a reason For me to feel this way I'd like to be near you Maybe for just one day So tell me the legend, tell me the story Tell me the tales of war Tell me just one time What it was like before. 06. Cherokee Music & lyrics by Joey Tempest
They lived in peace, not long ago
A mighty Indian tribe But the winds of change, Made them realize, that the promises were lies. The white man's greed, in search of gold Made the nation bleed They lost their faith And now they had to learn There was no place to return Nowhere they could turn. Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears. They were driven hard, across the plains And walked for many moons Cause the winds of change, Had made them realize, that the promises were lies. So much to bear, all that pain Left them in despair They lost their faith And now they had to learn There was no place to return Nowhere they could turn. 07. Time Has Come Music & lyrics by Joey Tempest
Long for the sailor, beneath the skies
Long for the white dove, no matter where she flies Long for the stranger you know so well. Pray for the soldier, who's wounded bad Pray for the dreamer, he's still so sad Pray for the stranger you know so well. Cause I'm coming home. Now the time has come For me to come back home. Long for the eagle, on wings so strong Long for the hunter, he won't be long Long for the stranger you know so well. 08. Heart Of Stone Music & lyrics by Joey Tempest
I've told you once and I've told you twice
Wait for that day, when our love will rise To that song that brought our hearts together. Even though you're mistreating me I know the girl that you used to be For me those days were meant to last forever. Time after time I'm wondering why Am I to be all alone Day after day I pray that you'll stay Cause you've got a heart of stone. I walk the streets like a broken man Oh I wish that you would understand Even though you're still the one I wait for. I guess in love there's no guarantee Sometimes it's not what it seems to be Even though you're still the one I care for. 09. On The Loose Music & lyrics by Joey Tempest
Running out on the streets
He lives from day to day Looking for something to do He needs to get away. Hoping that maybe one day He could be someone Praying that maybe someday He could be number one. In his world of make believe He always tends to be On the loose, so young, so tough, so wild On the loose, again. Dreaming, dreaming about All the things he'd like to do Trying, trying so hard To make it all up to you. 10. Love Chaser Music & lyrics by Joey Tempest
Someone's at your door tonight
Someone wants your love Is it real or just imagination You decide to wait inside 'til the break of dawn In dreams you see yourself seeking affection. He'll know just who you are He'll know just where you've been He'll know just what to do. Love chaser - If you look deep in his eyes Then you're in for a big surprise He can take your breath away There's nothing you can do or say. You can feel that someone's at your back You can hear his pounding heart But something tells you not to be afraid Cause even in the darkest night Someone's at your side But when morning comes it all starts to fade away. |
