01. Heaven Is Calling

You know everytime
I look into those eyes
I can't deny the feel
That you're the devil in disguise
And when darkness spreads
The Wings of destiny
I keep runnin blind
Can't you make me see

I know that you
Came to rescue me
But you keep wantin more
More than I can be

I know
You will never run for cover
And I know
You will never take another

Keep holdin on
Take the chance right now

Heaven is calling
And you will be falling
Hell is waitin
'Till dawn is breaking
I know
Heaven
I know heaven is calling
Calling

And when those years have past
You could not turn away
As I was runnin thru your head
You could not stay

The wings of tragedy
A neverending game
And the mystic poetry
Callin out your name

I know that you
Came to rescue me
But you keep wantin more
More than I can be

I know
You will never run for cover
And I know
You will never take another

Keep holdin on
Take the chance right now

Heaven is calling
And you will be falling
Hell is waitin
"Til dawn is breaking
I know
Heaven
I know heaven is calling
Calling

Heaven is calling
And you will be falling
Hell is waitin
"til dawn is breaking
I know
Heaven
I know heaven is calling
Calling

02. Facing Your Enemy

When it's time to pray to heaven
When it's time to reach the sky
You try to reach for something better
And you try to say good bye

When you look into the mirror
Tell me what you see
Don't you see I'm bleedin
Cause feelin is believe

Why don't you take me
Where the love has gone
Facing your enemy
Take me
Where the destiny lives
Facing my enemy

Send a priest to find salvation
Crucified in evils name
Feeling weaker more than ever
Pray to god to end this game

When you look into the mirror
Tell me what you see
Don't you see I'm bleedin
Feelin is believe

So can't you take me
Where the love has gone
Facing your enemy
Take me
Where the destiny lives
Facing my enemy

Why don't you take me
Where the love has gone
Facing your enemy
Take me
Where the destiny lives
Facing my enemy

03. Eyes Of A Stranger

It's always the same
When you're facing a new day
You're hiding your pain
You try to break away

All these doors are locked
Sealed with a wall of hate
Hiding all these tortures
And the pain
You're thru

With the eyes
Of a stranger
Can they look into your soul
There'll be tears of anger
But don't believe a lie

They told you to stay
The words they said
Made you turn away
Underneath the heading lies
You cold not send your prayers

Then a ray of light
Spreads like an open roach
Promising peace of mind
Four your soul

The eyes of a stranger
Can they look into your soul
Tears of anger
But don't believe a lie

They told to stay
But you sent out your prayer
They keep callin'

With the eyes of a stranger
Can they look into your soul
There'll be tears of anger
But don't believe a lie

04. Fear No Evil

Here in the shadows
Where my heart
Is livin without fear
I keep runnin on and on
How long does it take
Before it stops to ache
And when it takes
That pain away

And in the dark
The shining star
Take me as I am

Fear - no evil
Face - the eye of the storm
Fear - no evil
Face - The truth is plain to see

And when there's nothing
I can't hold back
I can't hold back these tears
I've bee fightin all those years
I'm fightin against the odds
Betrayed by all these gods
And the demons of the dark

And then the light
Cracks the sky
It brings me to my knees

Fear - no evil
Face - the eye of the storm
Fear - no evil
Face - The truth is plain to see

Fear - no evil
Face - the eye of the storm
Fear - no evil
Face - The truth is plain to see

05. Live & Learn

Her mind so cold
Like a restless heart
I can't go on
Tearin my world apart

Innocent victim of circumstance
Tradin the good
For this devils dance

I keep on losing
The faith to believe

Into the riot of this dungeon
Out of these fairytales
You'll see the desert sky's
Livin in an ocean of lies

Live and learn
Take my heart and burn
Live e die
It's your love I can't deny

Open my eyes
When I want to believe
The chains seal the gate
My life's so unreal

Fight to survive
Straight from your heart
Feeling the evil
Facing the time

I keep on losing
The faith to believe

Into the riot of this dungeon
Out of these fairytales
You'll see the desert sky's
Livin in an ocean of lies

Live and learn
Take my heart and burn
Just live & die
It's your love I can't deny

Live and learn
Take my heart and burn
Just live & die
It's your love I can't deny

06. Don't Dream

Dream on
Believe

All the times
That I've cried
Keeping all the things
I knew inside

Don't dream
Cause it's now or never
Don't dream
It won't last forever
Our love
Can't die
Don't you dream
It won't last forever

Well I've been around here
For so long
And I just can't see
Where I went wrong
Won't you tell me
Who I am

Don't dream
Cause it's now or never
Don't dream
It won't last forever
Our love
Can't die
Don't you dream
It won't last forever

Holdin on
To the moments that we shared
And in my dreams
I see the love
That we cared
All I can be
Is the man that I am

Don't dream
Cause it's now or never
Don't dream
It won't last forever
Our love
Can't die
Don't you dream
It won't last forever

07. See Me Crying

Facin' the day on my own
I'm movin' all alone
To get where I belong

Where can I run to now
Why can't you take me in your arms

I'm burnin' my soul
Cryin' over you
These days seem so dark
I'm fightin' to get thru

Feelin' your heart beat
Right next to mine

Take me away
To a world we can stay
Save me from here
There'll be only you and me

See me cryin'
(See me cryin')
Feels like dyin'
(Feels like dyin')
I am bleeding
(I'm bleeding for you)
When you're leaving
(I'm cryin' over you)

As the years go by
And I grow colder deep inside
The scars getting older

Learning to live
Without all the love you give

I can't seem to find
The bridge back to you
The river's so dark
I'll never make it through

Where can I run to now
(I've) got to break free from the dark

Can't you take me away
To a world we can stay
Why don't you
Save me from here
There'll be only you and me

See me cryin'
(See me cryin')
Feels like dyin'
(Feels like dyin')
I am bleeding
(I'm bleeding for you)
When you're leaving
(I'm cryin' over you)

08. Saviour

I have been playin
The games that you play
But now that
I'm rollin the dice
All of the fortune
Right in my hands
Prayin it's me all to win

Rollin and fallin
Time standin still
But in the moment of truth
That's where my future begins

Wait
Try
Keeping the fame
And the fortune in your hands
And I can't wait to tun away

Tonight
I'm on the run
Beware
The future has just begun

And you'll be save
Right
here in my arms

I am the saviour of your soul
I'll bring you fortune if you call
Take my hand
Believe in your dreams

Why can't you see
That I'm broken inside
Been in your chains for too long
Begging for freedom
From this misery
Escaping from this living hell

Screaming and callin
Thou there is nothing to say
No one will ever believe
The tortures you're put me thru

Right
Wrong
Hope that forever
I can make you see
That you became
Just a vision for me

Tonight
I'm on the run
Beware
The future has just begun

And you'll be save
Right here in my arms

I am the saviour of your soul
I'll bring you fortune
If you call
Take my hand
Believe in your dreams

Tonight
I'm on the run
Beware
The future has just begun

And you'l be save
Right here in my arms

I am the saviour of your soul
I'll bring you fortune
If you call
Take my hand
Believe in your dreams

09. Tokyo

City lights shine out on me
I'm feelin you close
Hold me on these crowded streets
a sound in the night

Spending my time
Here with you
I've got nothing to loose
Again and again
I have to give in
I might have to choose

Cause I felt in love
With a Japanese girl
And I've got a woman at home
Guess it's time to face the truth
Can't take no more

Tokyo Tokyo
Time of my life

Look into my eyes and see
That I wanna stay
I don't mean to make you cry
You know I've got to return

Cause it's waiting on me
In a different world
And can't stand the pain
Never believe in miracles
But I'm gonna try

Tokyo Tokyo
Time of my life

11. Fame And Fortune

I have been fightin'
For too many years
And I have been wastin'
So many tears
But time can not erase
Things that you have done
All the words you said

I can't see who I am
Don't you take me as I am
My life that is what I want from you
My heart isn't bound until forever

Fame and fortune - In your eyes
Fame and fortune - Take me higher
Fame and fortune - No more lies
Fame and fortune - Take me higher

Nothing came easy
We've had our fights
Takin our chances, livin our lives
Love could not reveal
Things that you have done
Words that you said

I can't see who I am
Don't you take me as I am
My life that is what I want from you
My heart isn't bound until forever

Fame and fortune - In your eyes
Fame and fortune - Take me higher
Fame and fortune - No more lies
Fame and fortune - Take me higher

12. Things I Never Needed

Take a long hard look at my face
Take away the thing I can't replace
Take my heart, go on take it away
I've got nothing to say

Take away this sense of regret
Take the things I need to forget
Take the mistakes I haven't made yet
They're all I have left

I don't want to be the one
Who lets you down
All I did was run myself around
I wish I could have seen
Through your eyes
Maybe the I would have realized
I'm the only one who's bleeding
For the things I never needed
The things I never needed

Take a good long look at yourself
Take the weight off everyone else
Take the hardest blow that was dealt
It's all on your shoulders

[2x Chorus]
