Beware of the Devil
The devil looked into my eyes when I was seventeen He said, "I'll give you all the world if you will follow me." He dealt the cards, I drew the king With this he was not pleased And then he raised the stakes when he said to me: (I am the devil) "I am the dealer I've come for your soul Lay down your cards and I'll take control I will bet your life if you dare to try, my friend, The luck of the draw tonight" The dealer tried to conquer me But I would not concede Now everything he offered me was tempting to believe I took a look inside my hand I saw the royalty And then I called his bluff when he said to me: (I am the devil) "I am the dealer I've come for your soul Lay down your cards and I'll take control I will bet your life if you dare to try, my friend, The luck of the draw" "I am the dealer I tell you no lies Show me your cards and fate will decide I will bet your life for eternity my friend The winner takes all tonight" 02. Turn Of The Century
11:59 and it's all going well, the next second could be our last
This is the moment we've all waited for, to see if the world's gonna' pass The seer and the psychic, the prophets of the doom, are saying the world is at end It's all coming down to the next breath of life, the fearmongers fate is at hand Something we've never faced before Nothing we've ever seen before Will we all make it through the door that leads to the next century? Y2K was a heartbeat away, still everyone sounds the alarm Where did you hide when the digits all turned, did computers and power go down? The party's alive in California, in Times Square the clocks ticking on All over the world, spinning out of control, celebration 2000 lives on Something we've never faced before Nothing we've ever seen before But we all made it through the door that leads to the next century Fear of the unknown causes doubt Millennium madness runs about The Turn of the Century rolls on The end of the world has come and gone Believe what you will but life goes on The Turn of the Century lives on 03. Speed Demon
In the California streets at night
You can feel the thunder rising You can hear the screams of tires in the air All the racers in their street machines Gonna' push it to the limit Let the engine fly, let the power take you there I need the speed, to touch the sky, it's my religion I burn the nitro in my veins I only live so I can fly, it's my addiction I'm dangerous, I'm not insane If I live to see another day I'll be racing for tomorrow Acceleration keeps me riding on the edge I can breathe beyond the dangerzone Where my freedom likes to hide Gonna' ride the wind 'til I reach the other side I need the speed, to touch the sky, it's my religion I burn the nitro in my veins I only live so I can fly, it's my addiction I'm dangerous, I'm not insane I'm a speed demon I feel the rush, I feel alive I'm a speed demon Adrenaline in overdrive I'm a speed demon I feel the rush, I feel alive I'm a speed demon I'll never drive your 55 I'm a speed demon 04. Wake Me Up
Thinking about the way you say you love me
Thinking about the way you say you care Hoping that you could somehow spare a moment for me But you never have a minute to share Trying so hard to fight against the pressure Looking' to find the way to make the grade Banging' my head against my own frustration There's no one but myself here to blame I don't know what this life is for What does it mean? Does anybody really even care? It's only a dream Wake me up, wake me up from this nightmare, (wake me up) Wake me up, wake me up before I scream Talking to me like I was just a number Putting' me down to make me stay in line I'm trying' to tell you, but you never listen to me My patience is running out of time Sick and I'm tired of your manipulation Waiting for you to tell me what to do You're slaving away to buy up those possessions you crave That's why I'm so invisible to you I don't know what this life is for What does it mean? Does anybody really even care? It's only a dream Wake me up, wake me up from this nightmare, (wake me up) Wake me up, wake me up before I scream 06. Slay The Dragon
You've got ashes on the tip of your finger
You've got secrets in the back of your mind You've been searching for the meaning of evil 'Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life You've been playing with the words of a liar And you're tired of the war that you rage You've been hanging on the edge of the fire And your pride has got you locked in a cage You, you got to find the peace of mind that you've been looking' for You, you got to fight to have the life that you've been searching' for (You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast) (You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast) Running' through the night trying' to feel alright and it's time you want to burn Carry all the weight of your love and hate, will the tables ever turn? Running' down the road with a heavy load, trying' to leave the world behind Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice and it's time to draw the line When you've reached the end of the road And you find a hole in your soul I believe it's time to slay the beast You're still counting on the change of the seasons You've been waiting for the passage of time While your loneliness has taken you hostage You've been hiding in a circle of lies You, you got to find the peace of mind that you've been looking' for You, you got to fight to have the life that you've been searching' for (You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast) (You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast) Running' through the night trying' to feel alright and this time you want to burn Carry all the weight of your love and hate, will the tables ever turn? Running' down the road with a heavy load, trying' to leave the world behind Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice and it's time to draw the line When you've reached the end of the road And you find a hole in your soul I believe it's time to slay the beast You've got ashes on the tips of your fingers You've got secrets in the back of your mind You've been searching for the meaning of evil 'Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life You've been playing with the words of a liar And you're tired of the war that you rage You've been hanging on the edge of desire And your pride has got you locked in a cage You gotta' slay the dragon You gotta' kill the beast You gotta' slay the dragon You gotta' kill the beast 07. Wasted Earth
Born in the Age of Technology in the year of our Lord 2033,
The earth has been poisoned and we had to leave Now we're all afloat in the stars of the galaxy Two thousand light years away from the sun I'm trapped in a room in this space station Tell me the stories, the legends, and tales Of generation earth and how we prevailed Generation, generation earth will prevail There once was a time when our planet earth was the only place to live But we destroyed it all by taking all she had to give And as we ride through the black horizon, I long for the days of old 'Cause I may never set foot on the wasted earth no more (Wasted earth) There once was a time when our planet earth was the only place to live But we destroyed it all by taking all she had to give And as we ride through the black horizon, I long for the days of old 'Cause I may never set foot on the wasted earth no more (Wasted earth) We took from the land all the fuel and power to fly to the other side We got to find a way to cross the universe again (Wasted earth) 08. Forever Yours
Take a look at the world today, a lot of love seems to slip away
When the feelings start to fade, they start to run It's not the way it's supposed to be, the flames of love only set you free To make the choice that you want to be my only one Life, they say, it can take it's toll, I'm holding on, I won't let you go It's only you that can touch my soul, my love I'm forever yours, I love you now for eternity I'm forever yours, in time my love you'll see I'm forever yours, I love you more than I ever did I'm forever yours, it's always you and me Forever yours I remember when I began to see, the love we share it was meant to be If only you would stand by me we'll beat the odds Trust in me as I trust in you, you've got my heart and you know it's true Together we can make it through, no matter what The promises and the life we share, together we can go anywhere It's only you that I give my soul, my love I'm forever yours, I love you now for eternity I'm forever yours, in time my love you'll see I'm forever yours, I love you more than I ever did I'm forever yours, it's always you and me I'm forever yours, I love you now for eternity I'm forever yours, together, you and me Forever yours 10. Fear No Evil
Rich man looking down his nose at you
He's got the good life and you get abused The Lazarus syndrome is in your face Sores on your back begging' at the gate Rich man dies and he goes to hell Wish he had a dime for the wishing well Send down Lazarus to cool my tongue Agony and torment ain't no fun Hell, yeah! The fire burns, and it's waiting there for you Hell, yeah! You better learn 'cause there's nothing you can do I will fear no evil, I will conquer all the demons I will hear no evil, I will conquer all the beasts Rich man begging' for another chance Go tell my brothers avoid this dance Can't cross the river the gulf is fixed Misery, suffering, eternal bliss Hell, yeah! The fire burns and its waiting there for you Hell, yeah! You better turn 'cause there's nothing you can do I will fear no evil, I will conquer all the demons I will hear no evil, I will conquer all the beasts I will speak no evil, I will conquer all the demons I will see no evil, I will conquer all the beasts Fear no evil I will fear no evil |
