02. On The Wings Of Life

Music & lyrics by Mike DiMeo, Mark Reale
Tied to visions theres something that's bringing you low.
Every morning the bastards are starting their show.
I can hear them cry for their lives.
but now all is lost here and now.
So i'm flying up upon....oh

On the wings of life.
This is all we could
Climb upon, yeah,
on the wings of life,
till forever is never.....now.

Desperate measures have desperate directions indeed.
Find the answers to all that we will need. yea.
I can tell when you're lying or not.
But still all is lost, here and now only fortune alone....

On the wings of life.
Still we are climbing higher . yea.
On the wings of life, put the test to the fire....yea.
That's what i'm gonna do
Put the test to you....oh....yea....yea

I can hear them cry for their lives.
But now all is lost, here and now so i'm flying upon

On the wings of life
This is all we could climb upon. yea
On the wings of life
Till forever is never....now...yea
On the wings of life
still we are climbing higher, yea
On the wings of life
Put the test to the fire....yea

Music & lyrics by Mike DiMeo, Mark Reale
Stop arresting my mind, finding the force in my eyes.
No use telling your lies, looking for safety inside.
I'm cotrolling me i've got hold of my life.
No use holding me steal the blood in my eyes.
No use forcing my arm to comply with your greed.

Sons of society.
You keep me satisfied - you keep me satisfying.
Scorned with compliancy no more to satisfy
I will comply with you. yea.

Formed in silence and war, subtle we move to destroy.
Give to you more and more, the massesare set to deploy.
Stop consoling me i've got hold of my life.
Stop patrolling me stealthe blood in my eyes.
No use forcing my arm to comply with your greed.

Sons of society.
You keep me satisfied - you keep me satisfying.
Scorned with compliancy no more to satisfy
I will comply with you. yea.

Sons of society.
You keep me satisfied you keep me satisfying.
Scorned with complaincy.
No more to satisfy i never will comply with you.
Sons of society.
You keep me satisfied - you keep me satisfying.
Scorned with compliancy no more to satisfy
I will comply with you. yea.

04. Twist Of Fate

Music & lyrics by Mike DiMeo, Mark Reale, Mike Flyntz
Feeling trapped i'll soon succumb
The hour strikes i'll turn and run
A piece of dream inside my mind.
I feel entomed i must remove
With depth of reason i should prove
give me trust for all is true
Only one, i enlist to follow on
From the dust all our ashes will be gone
That's right.

So i travelled on.
On into the darkened night.
Only you don't turn me down.
So i carried on, on into the dark and light.
Twist of fate is all i found. yea.

As i clean and dress my wound
The cast of blood and bone i lose
The penchant filtered thru the sky
Only fortune my mistake
soon to pay for vows i break
I'll search for solice deep inside
Only one, i enlist to follow on.
From the dust, all our ashes will be gone.
That's right

So i travelled on.
On into the darkened night.
Only you don't turn me down.
So i carried on, on into the dark and light.
Twist of fate is all i found. yea.

So i travelled on.
On into the darkened night.
Only you don't turn me down.
So i carried on, on into the dark and light.
Twist of fate is all i found. yea.

05. Bad Machine

Music & lyrics by Mike DiMeo, Mark Reale
I use my silence as a wall to keep me safe until i fall.
Hide from all uncertainty, that's right.
I crept onto your darkened cage
Awake all oyur primal rage
To find out what you want from me.
And so i wait, invision
all that i can state, citizens and all are freee yea

I'll keep fighting to the end
For my innocence defend
I've...lost all but everything from the fire.
I have seen, bad machine.

I'll use my conscience as a guide to change
My future you're implied, a bit of some insanity.
I strike a match near Kerosene to rid the eyes of fantasy.
No i'm never to be seen
And so i wait the future's forty years too late
Or somewhere there along the way yea

I'll keep fighting to the end
For my innocence defend
I've...lost all but everything from the fire.
I have seen, bad machine.

And so i wait, the future's forty years
Too late, or somwhere there along the way yea.

I'll keep fighting to the end
For my innocence defend
I've...lost all but everything from the fire.
I have seen, bad machine.

I'll keep fighting to the end
For my innocence defend
I've...lost all but everything from the fire.
I have seen, bad machine.
oh bad machine that's what i am yea oh that's right yea

06. Cover Me

Music & lyrics by Mike DiMeo, Mark Reale
Remember, days of the past i see them still.
Forever, baby, lost inside my tortured will
This was all i ever wanted to feel.
This was all i ever wanted.
Baby don't you know.
In my eyes i see such misery.
It hurts me when you go.
Yea how i need to feel you close to me.
This was all i ever needed to feel
This was all i ever wanted.

Cover me, cover me
Into the night don't you see i'm all alone.
Don't you leave me here alone thoughout the night.
Cover me, cover me
Into the night, don't you see that i'm alone.
Would you leave me here alone throughout the night.

You were all i ever wanted to feel darlin.
You were all i ever wanted.

Cover me, cover me
Into the night don't you see i'm all alone.
Don't you leave me here alone thoughout the night.
Cover me, cover me
Into the night, don't you see that i'm alone.
Would you leave me here alone throughout the night.

07. Dragonfire

Music & lyrics by Mike DiMeo, Mark Reale, Mike Flyntz
Cross the signs that fool your minds
Let your fear light the way
Danger games inside the claims
Fathers law to obey
One falls all fall death shines in your eye
Raise your hands and cry. yea.

Armore clad diseased an mad
From the canyons of hell
Climb the wall to desperate calls
Killers casting their spell
Save thee save thee save all if you can
Save your fatherland yea

Dragonfire, proud and strong yea

Raise your hands to the sky yea.

One falls all fall death
shines in your eye.
Raise your hands and cry yea

Dragonfire, proud and strong yea.
Dragonfire, proud and strong
Look into the eyes the dragon....yea

08. The Law

Music & lyrics by Mike DiMeo, Mike Flyntz
I been used i been abused for far too long.
I got my mind on lettin go.
Seventy years or more i'm paying for my crime.
What i've done i just don't know.
I did my time behind these wallls.
I hear the sound of freedoms call.

Running from the law, from the law
That's where i'm at baby

I took my chance i made my stance once and for all.
No more chains to hold me down.
I run and hide i will decide to never fall.
No more Kings to break my crown
Finally free no more to pay.
Your battered walls can't make me stay.

No more running from the law, from the law
From the law, from the law.That's where i'm at now.

No more running from the law, from the law, from the law, from the lw
Not the man i used to be, one more day i will be free.
i'm running so hard oh no that's right.
Oh no they ain't never taking me alive baby. That's right

09. Time To Bleed

Music & lyrics by Mike DiMeo, Mark Reale, Pete Perez, Bobby Jarzombek
I've been looking in the mirror, i don't know what i'm tryin to find
I hope in time i see things clearer, yea.
I'm prayin' time will clear my mind.
Darkened visions in my doorway
Throw my heart upon the floor
The only lesson that obey.
Keep me comin' back for more

They say that love is so deceiving, like a picture on the wall.
It breaks my heart and leaves me grieving.
Gets me ready for my fall.
When you cut me and leave me still breathing,
leave me in time of need....well save me time to
Bleed....save me time to bleed

Tearin me up on the inside, you leave me crying out in pain
no more good it. Does me to hide, caus all my runnin's been in vain
You throw me down while i am sleeping.
Stick a knife right in my heart.
I can hear you softly creeping, it ain't overtill you start.
Then you cut me breathing, leave me in time of need
Save me time to bleed

You throw me down while i am sleeping,
Stick a knife right in my heart, i can hear you softly creeping.
It ain't over till you start
They say that love is so deceiving, like a picture on the wall.
It breaks my heart and leaves me grieving
Gets me ready for my fall, when you cut me and leave me still breathing
Leave me in time of need
Well save me time, save me time
To bleed...ha....save me time to bleed
Time to bleed...save me time to bleed

10. Queen

Music & lyrics by Mike DiMeo, Mark Reale
Around midnight he locked in tight to his frustrations, she told her tales
With all she could, that's right. He wasn't half as good at cold manitpulation,
But he just listened as he should yea.
You don't know, but it will show. you'll make a better man of me.

Queen, it seems you hold my heart within your hands
Queen, i mean you make me sorry, but you don't know.
Queen, i dream you made me bleed and just for show.
But you won't let me go.

She played hist heart she played his mind with every finger.
Untill he finally lost his soul yea.
He said a thousand times her captive rhythms still linger.
But she just crucified him cold
You don't know, but it will show, you'll make a better man of me.

Queen, it seems you hold my heart within your hands
Queen, i mean you make me sorry, but you don't know.
Queen, i dream you made me bleed and just for show.
But you won't let me go.

Queen, it seems you hold my heart within your hands.
Queen, i mean you make me sorry baby but you don't know. yeah
Queen, i dream you made me bleed and just for show
but you won't let me go.

Queen, i dream you made me bleed and just for show.
But you won't let me go
won't let me go baby.
Feels like you're tearin' me apart baby
Oh you made me bleed and just or show baby.

11. Somewhere

Music & lyrics by Mike DiMeo, Pete Perez
The clouds were gathering,
the sun moved out of sight.
Then came the rain.
Outside the city line
Into the darkened night
He came to claim
Into another town the people he could see
He could kill with a look from his eyes.
He is looking for you he is lookig for me.
Upon his devil horse his figure slips away
He hides from light
A phantom magic man from mountains black an grey
He rides with might
Another circus show another broken ride
He could fly like a bird in the air
He is coming for you he is coming for me.

Somewhere tomorrow.
Somewhere today.
From fields of sorrow
Through winds of change
Somewhere he'll find you , to steal your soul
His eyes disguised to , conceal his goal

Another circus show
Another broken ride.
He could kill with a look from his eyes
He is coming for you
He is coming for me

Somewhere tomorrow.
Somewhere today.
From fields of sorrow
Through winds of change
Somewhere he'll find you , to steal your soul
His eyes disguised to , conceal his goal

12. Promises

Music & lyrics by Mike DiMeo, Mike Flyntz
I've been fighting this war for so long.
Tell me why its not over.
With inclinations our leaders are wrong.
There they are the're controlling our lives.
Still i'll fight.
We have fought through the sun and the moon.
Facing tyrants and soldiers.
We stumbled from glory to doom.
Blood of men on my shoulders.
It's true, what you do. Listen.

I believe, i believe in the things they said.
Your promises, no more promises.

Sons and brothers they die side by side
Not a soul in sedition.
From the gallows to streets of versailles
Now we live in submission now me, oh i'm free.

I believe, i believe in the things they said.
Your promises, i believe, i believed in the things
they said, your promises.

I believe, i believed in the things they said.
Your promises, oh i believe, yea.
I believed in the things they said, your promises.
Yea i believed in the things they said, oh oh promises.
