1. Magic

You look like an angel
But how your looks deceive
Thought that you were the answer
Brought me to my knees

Stroke of the pen and the damage done
We were so young and we had magic in our eyes

How well I remember
When you cast your spell
We were one in darkness
We might just as well been

Strangers in the night as the band played on
We were so young and we had magic in our eyes
And the magic hypnotized

There was magic in our eyes
And the magic hypnotized

If I could start over
Undo damage done
I'd turn my back on the battles
I never could have won

I knew all the time there was something wrong
We were so young and we had magic in our eyes
And the magic hypnotized

2. Heroes And Legends

Roll the dice – lose again
As dark a night as there's ever been
A knife that cuts – wound won't mend
A bird that flies on an evil wind

Choices made – damage done
Scales of life out of balance
Pay the debp – we drink our fate
From this broken chalice

Hear the music in the darkness
See the light that's burning still
Calling out your name to take away the pain
It will

When the world just want to fight you
And the winner's gonna get your soul
There's a rock down deep inside you
Grab on and let it roll

Heroes tall and legends made
We put them high on an altar
But heroes fall and legends fade
When they can't walk on the water

When it seems like all you're buyin'
Is a ticket on a runaway train
Listen to your heart
Let the music start
To take the pain

When the world just want to fight you
And the winner's gonna get your soul
There's a rock down deep inside you
Grab on and let it roll

Hear the music in the darkness
See the light that's burning still
Calling out your name to take away the pain
It will

When the world just want to fight you
And the winner's gonna get your soul
There's a rock down deep inside you
Grab on and let it roll

3. Sting Of The Rain

Take another glance in the mirror
To look over where I've been
I want to try to remember
To forget this would be a sin
And I've got enough strikes against me
And I don't need to add to the load
Keep my hand on the throttle
Keep my eyes on the road

It's like being the star of a movie
And I didn't want to play this part
And no amount of compromising
Is gonna take away this pain in my heart
I'm getting kinda used to the darkness
And I reach to embrace the pain
The only thing that keeps me awake
Is the sting of the rain

It's the sting of the rain
It's the sting of the rain
Let the waters of life
Wash the dust from my soul
All I gotta do is just roll

It's the sting of the rain
It's the sting of the rain
Let the waters of life
Wash the dust from my soul
All I gotta do is just roll

Take another glance in the mirror
Where did I miss the signs?
Did I lose my way in the darkness?
Did my dreams leave me behind?
And I can't turn back to find them
I wouldn't know where to start
Keep my hand on the throttle
Ride the pain from my heart

It's the sting of the rain
It's the sting of the rain
Let the waters of life
Wash the dust from my soul
All I gotta do is just roll

4. Life In The Furnace

Somebody's cryin'
Somebody laughs
Somebody's building
Somebody's collapse
Somebody's giving
Somebody takes
Somebody's desert
Is somebody's lake

Seeking the good life – driven by fate
Fuel to the furnace is greed and hate
Fooled by the future – ruled by the past
Thinking the good life will soon come to pass

Somebody's loss here is somebody's gain
I pay for my pleasure, I pay for my pain
Life in the furnace is awfully cold
Life lives on life here, it's bought and it's sold

Somebody's cryin'
Somebody laughs
Somebody's building
Somebody's collapse
Somebody's giving
Somebody takes
Somebody's desert
Is somebody's lake

Somebody's cryin'
Somebody laughs
Somebody's building
Somebody's collapse
Somebody's giving
Somebody takes
Somebody's desert
Is somebody's lake

Give me the fever – burn my way through
I've been in this furnace – seen what it can do
Give me the fever – this you can do
Fever is music – music is you

5. Burn Me Once

Don't wanna spend my time
By the telephone
Watching the hands on the clock
Wondering if you're home
I keep on telling myself
You just don't understand
Why do these night always last forever?

I'm on fire
Stay away from the flame
I'm on fire
Stay away from the flame

Burn me once, burn me twice
I just can't accept
It's a roll of the dice
Burn me once, burn me twice
It's always the same
First the fire, then the ice

Don't wanna spend tonight
Like I always do
Hearing a noise at the door
Wondering if it's you
I keep on telling myself
You just don't give a damn
Seems like I've felt this way a lifetime

I'm on fire
Stay away from the flame
I'm on fire
Stay away from the flame

Burn me once, burn me twice
I just can't accept
It's a roll of the dice
Burn me once, burn me twice
It's always the same
First the fire, then the ice

6. Where There's Smoke

They say love is heaven
As a general rule
But itn can be hell
If you're playing the fool
I give till I'm weary
And she takes what I give
The lies that she tells
I always forgive

Where there's smoke
There's fire
Ain't I ever gonna learn?
Where there's smoke
There's fire

And baby it burns

Where once there was passion
Now there's nothing but ice
Where once I could trust her
Now I gotta think twice
Now it don't take a genius
To read between the lines
I know that there's trouble
When I look in her eyes

Where there's smoke
There's fire
Ain't I ever gonna learn?
Where there's smoke
There's fire

And baby it burns

She read me like a gypsy
Looking in her crystal ball
She thought she knew my future
And now she's gonna fall

I don't have to suffer
Ain't playing this game
I'm not gonna walk
Right into the flame

Where there's smoke
There's fire
Ain't I ever gonna learn?
Where there's smoke
There's fire

And baby it burns

7. Holding On To The Night

Side by side we lie here
Prisoners in the dark
Afraid to face the things we feel
Afraid to even start

Silent daggers cut right through
Spaces thick with fear
You hold on to what you know
You know there's nothing here
And when you laugh you look away
Before you start to cry
There's a little bit of madness
Behind your eyes

You keep holding on to the night
Holding on to the night
It's all you got
You can't let go
You know it isn't right
You keep holding on to the night

Side by side we lie here
Prisoners in the dark
Afraid to face the things we feel
Afraid to even start
And so we live this lonely life
A masquerade of love
Two frozen hearts
That can't seem to touch

You keep holding on to the night
Holding on to the night
It's all you got
You can't let go
You know it isn't right
You keep holding on to the night

Maybe if we light the torch
Stop asking who's to blame
We can see the truth
Rising through the flame

You keep holding on to the night
Holding on to the night
It's all you got
You can't let go
You know it isn't right
You keep holding on to the night

8. Anyplace On This Highway

I've been thrown here all alone
Somewhere in space and time
Cast on the road like a shaman's bones
Left to live or die
I'm a very merry prankster
I'm a pissed-off punk plaid-shirted angster
No less no more than a highway orphan
Looking for home

In this dream called a lifetime
I've endlessly searched for you face
And we met here on the shoreline
You're the ocean I see from this stage

And all the time
That I have spent chasing you haunts me
Till I'm under these lights
Then I forget how much it's cost me
I know I won't spend this night alone
'Cause one look in you eyes
Any place on this highway is home

I walk deep in restless slumber
Alone in a soulless land
My only peace is in the thunder
The thunder you hold in your hands

And all the time
That I have spent chasing you haunts me
Till I'm under these lights
Then I forget how much it's cost me
I know I won't spend this night alone
'Cause one look in you eyes
Any place on this highway is home

And all the time
That I have spent chasing you haunts me
Till I'm under these lights
Then I forget how much it's cost me
I know I won't spend this night alone
'Cause one look in you eyes
Any place on this highway is home

And all the time
That I have spent chasing you haunts me
So turn up these lights
'Cause I need to forget what it's cost me
I know I won't spend this night alone
'Cause one look in you eyes
Any place on this highway is home

9. Battles

I often dream of nights I'd sit
And watch the rising sun
And I spoke to you of life
And of the battles I had won

A warm wind blowing memories
Makes me long for home
But a cold wind blows much harder
And it makes me want to roam

Let me go from this lonely land
Before my dreams all vanish
Like water in the sand

Let me run from this lonely place
Before my dreams are shattered
By love I can't erase

I search to find the meaning
Of the path that I am on
And I hope that my direction
Will not make me walk alone

I stumble for the answers
To the questions that remain
Around the world I've touched the sun
And now I'm back again

Let me go from this lonely land
Before my dreams all vanish
Like water in the sand

Let me run from this lonely place
Before my dreams are shattered
By love I can't erase
