1. Battle
When you see'em coming
Ready to attack
What you feel is numbing
No way of turning back
When you hear the order
Nothing left to do
Cross the final border
And pray to make it through...
Think about what coulda been
And if it's gonna be...
In a world torn apart
You'll prove what you're made of
Bless every step you take...
Into the battle
Into the battle
When you feel the fire
When you body crawls
Though you're sick and tired
And you're about to fall
Think about what coulda been
And if it's gonna be...
In a world torn apart
You'll prove what you're made of
And bless every step you take...
In a nightmare awake
Feels like hell and for heaven's sake
Find your way back someday, someway
Into the battle
Into the battle
2. I'm Breakin' Free
Nothin' works you up
Like bringin' me down
Even makin' love
Ya jerk me around
And, though ya think it's all in fun
The game you're playin' finished, done
And I won!
I'm not gonna lose my head
I'm gonna lose your ass instead!
You're not breakin', breakin' me
Babe, I'm breakin' free
With every other word you say
You're tellin' me to walk away
Hot and still a hell
You're leavin' me cold
Used to cast a spell
But it took a toll
And, though ya think you've just begun
The war you're wagin's over, done
And I won!
I'm not gonna lose my head
I'm gonna lose your ass instead!
You're not breakin', breakin' me
Babe, I'm breakin' free
With every other word you say
You're tellin' me to walk away
You're not breakin', breakin' me
Babe, I'm breakin' free
With every word and every blow
Ya make it easier to go!
3. Epic
I'm hot on your tail
Ridin' the rail
Baby you know
You won't get away
My hunger's gotta prey
Ready set go
This is not the first time
I have followed you blind
To those places far below
Don't be so afraid of this
This is not the apocalypse
In a world you used to know
Silver bullets are about to fly
We're superhuman not afraid to die
Raise your voice up to the sky
You're my dark angel
Super star can't fail
Come to save me once again
You're my earth shakin'
You're my wave breakin'
Let me ride it home again
Baby this is not the way it ends
This is not the first time
I have followed you blind
Can't you feel I'm getting close
Don't be so afraid of this
This is not the apocalypse
Just the one who loves you most
Silver bullets are about to fly
We're superhuman not afraid to die
Raise your voice up to the sky
You're my dark angel
Super star can't fail
Come to save me once again
You're my earth shakin'
You're my wave breakin'
Let me ride it home again
Baby this is not the way it ends
You're my elevation
Heartbeat celebration
Baby here we go again
You're my sky fallin'
From the wild callin'
Lonely whisper in the wind
Baby this is not the way it ends
Silver bullets are about to fly
We're superhuman not afraid to die
Raise your voice up to the sky
To the sky
You're my dark angel
Super star can't fail
Come to save me once again
You're my earth shakin'
You're my wave breakin'
Let me ride it home again
Baby this is not the way it ends
You're my elevation
Heartbeat celebration
Baby here we go again
You're my sky fallin'
From the wild callin'
Lonely whisper in the wind
Baby this is not the way it ends
Baby this is not the way
Not the way
Hey this is not the way
Not the way
Now the way it ends
4. Live Every Day (Like It's The Last)
Swallowed up by a hungry city...
Going blind in her neon lights...
All of us are potential victims...
Writhing in her signs
But instead of play it safe
Instead of make it easy
I'm dancing on my grave
And staring death in the eye...
You can surrender
Slip away into the past
For as long as I can
I'm a fight back
Like every day like it's the last
Like it's the last
Like every day, like every day, like every day
Like it's the last!
In the arms of familiar strangers
In the grip of a phantom pain
We're supposed to accept in silence
We exist in vain
But instead of play it safe
Instead of make it easy
I'm dancing on my grave
And staring death in the eye...
You can surrender
Slip away into the past
For as long as I can
I'm a fight back
Like every day like it's the last
Like it's the last
Like every day, like every day, like every day
Like it's the last!
Like it's your last!
I refuse to be a slave
To fear and intuition
Yeah, to hell with safe
For now I'm alive
5. Permission To Die
Made a vow – of forever
Swore for worse – and for better
But are we – still together?
I don't know tonight!
Goin' out – and you're stayin'
Home again – where you're layin'
What the hell – game you playin'
Hey hey
You're windin' down, I'm windin' up!
You're on the ground, and I'm still flyin'!
You're goin' through your life
Like you're just waitin' for my
Permission to die!
You're always standin' by
Like you're just askin' for my
Permission to die!
Used to be – hot'n'heavy
Twenty-four – seven ready
Dressed to kill – in that ready
Where's my woman gone
Other girls – almos' wearin'
Nothin', I – catch'em starin'
Dancin' to – show they're darin'
Yeah hey hey
You're windin' down, I'm windin' up!
You're on the ground, and I'm still flyin'!
You're goin' through your life
Like you're just waitin' for my
Permission to die!
You're always standin' by
Like you're just askin' for my
Permission to die!
6. Precious Metal
It takes a woman strong as steel
To hold on to a man
Who doesn't even want to feel
Who isn't sure he can...
She's gonna need an iron will
To stand her ground and fight
To tolerate his shit until
She makes his see she's right
I can't believe I've got that kinda woman
I don't deserve her, but I do
I'm blessed to say I've got that kinda woman
I've got a miracle in you
Oh...
Got a heart of precious metal
Beneath the rarest rose
Hidden deep within her petals
Got a heart of precious metal
That took a chance and chose
To invite inside a devil
It takes a woman bright as gold
To hold on to a man
Who wants to prove he isn't old
By getting out of hand...
She's gonna need to catch his eye
And smack his empty head
Tell him if he dares to lie
He'll lay alone in bed
I can't believe I've got that kinda woman
I don't deserve her, but I do
I'm blessed to say I've got that kinda woman
I've got a miracle in you
Oh...
Got a heart of precious metal
Beneath the rarest rose
Hidden deep within her petals
Got a heart of precious metal
That took a chance and chose
To invite inside a devil
I can't believe I've got that kinda woman
I don't deserve her, but I do
I'm blessed to say I've got that kinda woman
I've got a miracle in you
A miracle
Got a heart of precious metal
Beneath the rarest rose
Hidden deep within her petals
Oh it takes a woman
To be strong as steel
I know, I know she's so precious
Precious
7. Swimmin' With The Sharks
You never see'em comin'
Till they're pullin' ya down
Princes of Atlantis
With blood on their crowns
They act as if they're slummin'
Say they're buyin' ya cheap
Tell ya what the plan is
Tryin' to get you in deep
Get you in deep
Oooh...
And by the time ya stop an' think
By the time ya turn around
It's too late – you're already sinking
Doesn't matter if ya drown
Ya gotta know...
You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimming with the sharks
Every smile conceals a knife
That'll find you in the dark
You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimming with the sharks
The strong alone survive
The dive!
The prettier the faces
Babe, blacker the souls
Underneath the heat are
The coolest of cold
They treat ya like a driver
Takin' them for a ride
Tantalizin' bait to
Reel you in with the ride
In with the ride
Oooh...
And by the time ya stop an' think
By the time ya turn around
It's too late – you're already sinking
Doesn't matter if ya drown
Ya gotta know...
You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimming with the sharks
Every smile conceals a knife
That'll find you in the dark
You're playin' with your life
Goin' swimming with the sharks
The strong alone survive
The dive!
Oooh...
Another pill, another drill
Doesn't matter anymore
It's too late – you're already sinking...
Oooh...
Another needle dripped in ink
Isn't washin' you ashore...
It's too late – you're already sinking...
Doesn't matter if ya drown...
Ya gotta know...
8. Raw
She looks so sophisticated
Classy, cultured, understated
But I know you, but I know you see
Her perversity
That's underneath
The day you're ready to confront it
Be a man and say you want it
She'll do you raw
She'll do you raw to the extreme
She'll do you raw until you scream
Do you raw, do you raw, do you raw
And then she'll do you raw again
You picture here, imagine touchin'
Look at you, already blushin'
Cause she makes it, 'cause she makes it tough
Even thinkin' of playin' rough
She's gonna hurt you like she hurt me
To the bone, she's down and dirty
She's gonna use you and abuse you
(You're) gonna love the way she'll bruise you
The night you lower your defences
You'll discover what insense is...
You let her have your inhibitions
(She'll) give you what the hell you're missin'
9. Enemy Mine
One sigh... One lie...
Made a friend an enemy mine
In your arms
Is a witness to a crime
Safe from harm
Denying everything he's seeing
In your hands
Out of sight and out of mind
Is a man
Disgusted by the scene he's fleeing
I've gotta try to save myself
Too late to wait
To make confession
With just one sigh... One lie...
Made a friend an enemy mine
But a viper among the vines!
One fight... One night...
Anger and a open flame combined...
The enemyt of mine is me
In my eyes...
Is an unfamiliar face...
In disguise...
A stranger acting like I know her...
I've gotta try to save myself
Too late to wait
To make confession
You... made a sacrifice
And I... stole what was given
Through... my former life
Now I'm... dyin'... livin'
One sigh... One lie...
Made a friend an enemy mine
But a viper among the vines!
One fight... One night...
Anger and a open flame combined...
The enemyt of mine is me
10. Action
I see your lipgloss sparkling
I'm all but hypnotized
Instead of listen to you
I undress you with my eyes
The topic is important
So I'm being told
I try to pay attention
"Were you sayin' somethin'"
I lean in closer
Nearly close enough to kiss
Still you're givin' speeches
Like I think I can resist
You want a conversation
Want a give and take
Want the kinda dialogue that makes a body ache
Dontcha ever go "enough's enough already?"
Baby, just shut up
Time for me to go "enough's enough already?"
When I'm with you
Your voice is a distraction
I don't wanna talk
I'm a man of action
I wanna do
To give us satisfaction
I don't wanna talk
I'm a man of action
I'm buyin' you Martinis
To enjoy the way ya sip
Hopin' later on, they're
Gonna make ya wanna strip
You've found another topic?
Losin' me again
I'm sure it's fascinating
Wake me when it's over
ever go "enough's enough already?"
Baby, just shut up
Time for me to go "enough's enough already?"
When I'm with you
Your voice is a distraction
I don't wanna talk
I'm a man of action
I wanna do
To give us satisfaction
I don't wanna talk
I'm a man of action
I'm gonna take control for you
Dontcha ever go "enough's enough already?"
Baby, just shut up
Time for me to go "enough's enough already?"
11. Turn Back The Tide
I saw the future washed away
A hurricane and then decay
But I refuse to watch it go...
I won't surrender, cause I know
We're gonna be the last of a dying breed
We're gonna be the kiss of Judas
Unless we're gonna finally
Turn back the tide
Stand our ground
Tomorrow's gonna need a hero
Rise up and fight
The time is now
For us to turn back the tide
Turn back the tide
We let it happen, let it come
We got too good at playin' dumb
But is we start again the same
We'll more than only be to blame
We're gonna be closer to the end of days yeah
We're gonna be the final chapter
Unless we're gonna finally
Turn back the tide
Stand our ground
Tomorrow's gonna need a hero
Rise up and fight
The time is now
For us to turn back the tide
Turn back the tide
We're gonna be the last of a dying breed
We're gonna be the kiss of Judas
Unless we're gonna finally
I saw the future washed away
A hurricane and then decay
But I refuse to watch it go...
I won't surrender, cause I know
Turn back the tide
12. You Might Just Save My Life
I took my chances where I found 'em
Left no prisoners on the way
As I began to climb the highest mountain
I felt my footing slowly slip away
Are you gonna
You gonna
You gonna
Be there tonight?
Are you gonna
You gonna
You gonna?
Ooooooh!
Cause you might just save
My life tonight
Like you always do when I'm losing the fight
I could waste away from the demons inside
Or reach out to you one more time
And are you gonna save my life tonight
Someone better save my life tonight
You saw the little child inside me
You saw the error of my ways
In you I know I have a light to guide me
I hope will never ever fade away
Are you gonna
You gonna
You gonna
Be there tonight?
Are you gonna
You gonna
You gonna?
Ooooooh!
And I may never change
You gotta know right now
Oh and my love for you remains the same
Cause you might just save
My life tonight
Like you always do when I'm losing the fight
I could waste away from the demons inside
Or reach out to you one more time
