1. Welcome To Forever
If you could see behind the mask
Taste a little spirit from the past
And see what others failed to see
Then you could come and share your dreams with me
When time plays in the back of our minds
We're so blind to all of the good things we'll find
Welcome to now and forever
Come inside, you're welcome in here
Welcome to now and forever
Close the door, there is nothing to fear in here
Don't betray the things you love
They put you down but you can rise above
The meaning of the words are clear
My pretty ones, come closer so you hear
When time play in the back of our minds
We're so blind to all of the good things we'll find
Welcome to now and forever
Come inside, yes you're welcome in here
Welcome to now and forever
Close the door, you have nothing to fear from me
Don't let your dreams be scattered in the dust
Where all hope is gone
And memories are lying there like rust
If the devil takes your hand just scream
Welcome to now and forever
Come inside, yes you're welcome in here
Welcome to now and forever
Close the door, there is nothing to fear in here
Welcome to now and forever
2. When The Hammer Falls
Mother Mary walk beside me to the waters edge
A kiss has brought my world down
Pray the living God won't find us, drinking with his friend
All we need we'll find here
My world has come undone, I've done my best
My world's a crazy Sunday, you'll find there's nothing left
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
Judas screams and darkness turns the day into night
See your dream has ended much too soon
My world has come undone, did I pass the test
My world's a crazy Sunday, there'll be nothing left
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
I saw the horizon, the shame and the pitiful greed
Where the power corrupts all we see
You sent me a light for the world, now it's all going wrong
And everyone looks to the East to see the Son
Don't cry for holiness, you can't bare the pain
My world has come undone, there will be nothing left
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
When the hammer falls
3. Passion To Warfare
Understanding, trying to make sense of it all
I throw my hand in, I wasn't prepared for the fall
Sleep in despair with the cruel words we have strewn
Sleep in the knowledge you bring about my ruin
From passion to warfare my time is now at hand
Lost in the madness of what was once our love
Can you remember the night when we crossed on the stairs
In that moment the answer to all of my prayers
How well you fooled me with whispers in the night
So careless I fell for this love that wasn't right
From passion to warfare my time is now at hand
I'm so lost in the madness of what was once our love
It was only love
It was only love
But I can still feel the pain all night
And I cry alone
From passion to warfare my time is now at hand
I'm lost in the madness of what was once our love
From passion to warfare my time is now at hand
4. Hour Of Doom
Here in the silence of this empty room
Flickering light is fading much too soon
Watching the candles burn
In this hour of doom
In these hours you sleep
Here in the coldness of my empty bed
Thinking of all the lies and words we said
Watching life fade too soon
In this hour of my doom
In this cold empty room
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
Here in the black hole of my emptiness
Knowing he watches as you get undressed
Knowing he's touching you
Brings the hour of my doom
To my cold empty room
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
Feel his fingers crawl across your skin tonight
I can't wait until the dawn
Soon it will be over, soon it will be done
I'll spend eternity alone
Alone
Alone
In this cold empty room
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
Swear that we will meet again
In the hour of Doom
5. Man Without Reason
In the first light of day when my love slipped away
Saw the end of my faith in this world
And the Sun and the Moon shone so bright on this life
What was good is now gone for all time
There is not a lot of feeling in a man without a reason
I am just a man without a soul
All that's left is memory and a whole lot of grieving
I am just a man who lost it all
When I look back I smile but it might take me a while
To forgive but you are not forgotten
How can I carry on? I can still hear your song
Tastes so sweet in this bitterness of tears
There is not a lot of feeling in a man without a reason
I am just a man who's lost his soul
All that left is memory and a whole lot of grieving
I am just a man who lost it all
There is not a lot of feeling in a man without a reason
I am just a man who's lost his soul
All that left is memory and a whole lot of grieving
I am just a man who lost it all
I am just a man who lost it all
I am just a man who lost it all
6. 21st Century Man
One world, caught up in the middle
How do you know who to belive
One truth, it must be out there somewhere
Can we find it?
Breakdown in communication
Information overload
We're lost, forever seeking answers
What's the question?
Do you believe in Heaven?
Do you believe in Hell?
If you open your eyes
Then you'll become a 21st century man
That's what I am
Outside, messiahs by the dozen
Showing us the light and the way
Control, for keeping down the masses
Dn't believe it
The walls of freedom start to crumble
All they do is lie to your face
The world is screaming out as one
"Not in my name"
Still believe in Heaven?
Still believe in Hell?
Open your eyes
Then you'll become a 21st century man
Do you believe in Heaven?
Do you believe in Hell?
If you open your eyes
Then you'll become a 21st century man
That's what I am
Living, living
Living in the 21st century
7. Once Upon Our Yesterdays
All is lost and nothing won
Love is gone and the suffering has just begun
In between what might have been
Love was an illusion when it drew me in
What was real in the heat of the night
Leaves me cold in the first light of morning
To my shame I told another lie
All that's left is the haunting
And the rain falls like mist on the chances I missed
It was on a night like this, when she sold me my first kiss
When she sold me my first kiss
Once upon our yesterdays
As she spoke fire danced in her eyes
Burned my hope with the heat of this nightmare
When we walked, she told of our time
Nothing left but the wanting
Still the rain falls like mist, on the lover I've kissed
It was on a night like this, when she sold me my first kiss
When she sold me my first kiss
Once upon our yesterdays
Yesterdays
Once upon our yesterdays
Yesterdays
Once upon our yesterdays
It was on a night like this, close your eyes and dream
And the rain falls like mist, on the chances we missed
It was on a night like this, when you sold me my first kiss
Once upon our yesterdays
Yesterdays
Once upon our yesterdays
Once upon our yesterdays
Never forever, only in your dreams
Never forever, I remember the kiss, I remember a night like this
Yesterdays
8. End Of The World
Rising, I've climbed the top of the mountain
I'm looking down at the fools as they stand on the hill
Where angels fear to tread
Holding all life in your hands you dance with denial
You open the floodgates to Hell and it won't be denied
I'll see you burn
Watching the end of the world
The end of the world
Watching the end of the world
Only a blind man fails to see
Fallen, fallen from grace, hear them calling
Forgotten souls that once gave their lives for this madness
And angels still fear to tread
I have seen things that were once only told in your nightmares
Where darkness descends on this world and your life's in ruin
I'll see you burn
Watching the end of the world
The end of the world
Watching the end of the world
Only a blind man fails to see
Watching the end of the world
The end of the world
Watching the end of the world
Only a blind man fails to see
Only a blind man fails to see
Fails to see
9. Some Have Dreams
Just be careful what you wish for, cause I hear that dreams come true
We can ask for our deliverance, then it's gone
You must find something to live for, maybe sometimes that brings pain
But you have to find the strength to carry on
Some they have dreams and others they have nightmares
Some live in hope, some hide their fears
Well I shone bright for a moment, I was brighter than the Sun
But when the thunder roared I knew I had to run
So I sit alone in darkness, knowing one day I will rise
To crack the sky, be holy in your eyes
Some they have dreams and others they have nightmares
Some live in hope, some hide their fears
Some they have dreams and others they have nightmares
Some follow stars to light the way
Just be careful what you wish for life's a small and empty room
If you stroll through blind, you'll find it ends too soon
When I lost my faith in magic then I found my strength in you
It was a light so bright, it cracked the night and I knew what I had to do
Some they have dreams and others they have nightmares
Some live in hope, some hide their fears
Some they have dreams and others they have nightmares
Some follow stars to light the way
No more to sit in darkness, no more to cry alone
I found a star to light my way, a star to guide me home
Some they have dreams and others they have nightmares
Some live in hope, some hide their fears
Some they have dreams and others they have nightmares
Some follow stars to light the way
Some they have dreams while others they have nightmares
Some live in hope, some hide their fears
10. Scream
I am cast of flesh and blood, you are carved from misery and stone
Lost beneath the neon of the city, no sanctuary, no home
But fate hold out his withered hand to take me on
In time you taste a cruel embrace, a faceless lover's ice-cold kiss, a comfort zone
Open up and say you're hurting, a little scared and so uncertain, all alone
But fate holds out his withered hand to lead me home
Scream for the lonely child of emptiness
Scream, scream for the lonely child of pain
We'll scream
Cry yourself to endless sleep, cast out all the secrets that you keep
Take my hand, I'll be your guide, we'll walk together till the kiss of morning light
So safe, in arms of this sweet dreamer, come to me
Just scream for the lonely child of emptiness
Scream, scream for the lonely child of pain
We'll scream
Just scream
And cry our tears
But fate holds out his withered hand to lead me home
Just scream before your heart turns to stone
Scream for the lonely child of emptiness
Scream, scream for the lonely child of pain
We'll scream for the lonely child of emptiness
Scream, scream for the lonely child of pain
The sadness fills the air
