1. Sacred Blood "Divine" Lies

When desolation is king
Breathe for the souls that are dead
And to the gods they will sing
Watch as the rivers turn red
They're going nowhere
What will tomorrow bring?
And with a short prayer
Disregard everything

When the temptation is strong
Fools stand in line to be lost
They don't know where they belong
And don't know when they've been crossed
Rise every morning
And just like anyone
So close to falling
Maybe they'll come undone

Scrawled in dust
Words you trust

O, sacred blood, divine lies
You never thought that you'd be misled
But then it came as a big surprise
And on this journey you fear to tread
There's nothing near you will pacify
No holy prophet to crucify
A silent shadow, a burning flame
The empty picture that you became

Yeah, a destroyer of dreams
Hurt won't get carried away
And just like broken machines
There's nothing left to betray
Walk through the sweet fire
When there's no need to run
Scream at the white choir
Hide from the midnight sun

Some are blessed
Some possessed

O, sacred blood, divine lies
You never thought that you'd be misled
But then it came as a big surprise
And on this journey you fear to tread
There's nothing near you will pacify
No holy prophet to crucify
A silent shadow, a burning flame
The empty picture that you became

A thousand goodbyes
Are lost in the wind
A mother will cry
And all street lights dimmed
No sweet music plays
But still they will dance
And there'll be no flowers
For this deadly romance

O, sacred blood, divine lies
You never thought that you'd be misled
But then it came as a big surprise
And on this journey you fear to tread
There's nothing near you will pacify
No holy prophet to crucify
A silent shadow, a burning flame
The empty picture that you became

O, sacred blood, divine lies
You never thought that you'd be misled
But then it came as a big surprise
And on this journey you fear to tread
There's nothing near you will pacify
No holy prophet to crucify
A silent shadow, a burning flame
The empty picture that you became

2. Crazy Old Mothers

?You walk in the shadows, you gave in too soon
An endless procession that follows the moon
You wake up each morning, the same every day
Your life feels so empty, don't throw it away

You may work, you may be rich
Like a king just passing by
All these things won't make you better
And bad news still makes you cry

Come on, you crazy old mothers
Let's get in trouble
Come on, you crazy old mothers
Let's get in trouble tonight
How does it feel? You remember
It's in your flesh and blood
How does it feel? You remember
Just like you knew it would

It means nothing to you, you say it's all right
But you realize when your knuckles turn white
There's so many pathways, keep pulling you in
Don't know where you're going, don't know where you've been

Write a note or make a call
And explain just how you feel
Put it all down in a letter
What you say, this is for real

Come on, you crazy old mothers
Let's get in trouble
Come on, you crazy old mothers
Let's get in trouble tonight
How does it feel? You remember
It's in your flesh and blood
How does it feel? You remember
Just like you knew it would

Yeah, sometimes it's hard to resist
And maybe the way that you choose to go
Yeah, knowing the things you dismissed
And even the way that you say hello

How does it feel? You remember
It's in your flesh and blood
How does it feel? You remember
Just like you knew it would

Come on, come on, you crazy old mothers
Let's get in trouble
Come on, come on, you crazy old mothers
Let's get in trouble tonight
How does it feel? You remember
It's in your flesh and blood
How does it feel? You remember
Just like you knew it would

3. Gypsy Queen

Palace Square, Saint Petersburg
Can't get it out of my head
Lonely voice on a gentle wind
Hangman wrote, no tears were shed
She called out, "Won't you come with me?
I'll take you all the way there"
They said, "She'll play with your mind
And you'd better beware"

She's a gypsy queen
Gold the ribbons in her hair
Walks the road between
Knows the future, doesn't care

Magic place, how could I forget?
Angels would borrow this crown
Still possessed, like a masterpiece
Bloody the Sunday came down
She called out with some good advice
I'll give you lessons for free
She said, "We, we can go anywhere
If you just follow me"

She's a gypsy queen
Gold the ribbons in her hair
Walks the road between
Knows the future, doesn't care

She's a gypsy queen
Gold the ribbons in her hair
Walks the road between
Knows the future, doesn't care

She's a gypsy queen
Gold the ribbons in her hair
Walks the road between
Knows the future, doesn't care

4. Princess In Rags (The Cult)

Lost in the desert of dreams
Follow the footsteps you know
Somewhere that you've never been
And maybe you shouldn't know
Some wait to betray all our trust
We struggle to hide our disgust
Just like a thief they will take
And every heart they will break
Just like a princess in rags
Now you have come down beyond belief
Lost in the nightmare that you always keep
Oh, yeah

Hide your face, close both your eyes
And hear the words of a dead man tonight
Some will praise, and some will cry
He takes their money and they give their life
He rearranges the thoughts in their head
But they don't know what he's put there instead
Kiss goodbye all that you know
No understanding and he won't let go

Looking for somewhere to fall
People not foolish would go
But on their knees they will crawl
You'd think that they'd really know
And when they're alone on the street
They talk to strangers they meet
Telling them stories again
Leaving out all of the shame
It can be easy to hurt
When you think there's something you must prove
Who dealt the cards out, 'cause you're bound to lose
Oh, yeah

Hide your face, close both your eyes
And hear the words of a dead man tonight
Some will praise, and some will cry
He takes their money and they give their life
He rearranges the thoughts in their head
But they don't know what he's put there instead
Kiss goodbye all that you know
No understanding and he won't let go

Innocence is pushed away
The queen of hearts will say farewell
She don't know she's gone astray
But no one's seen her, who can tell?
So what's happened to the place?
The gun is loaded, what's the game?
Someone must have closed the gates
And called her by some other name

Hide your face, close both your eyes
And hear the words of a dead man tonight
Some will praise, and some will cry
He takes their money and they give their life
He rearranges the thoughts in their head
But they don't know what he's put there instead
Kiss goodbye all that you know
No understanding and he won't let go

Hide your face, close both your eyes
And hear the words of a dead man tonight
Some will praise, and some will cry
He takes their money and they give their life
He rearranges the thoughts in their head
But they don't know what he's put there instead
Kiss goodbye all that you know
No understanding and he won't let go

5. Your Dreams Won't Die

The game was over
All you did was cry
The church was empty
They'd all said goodbye
No one knows why this had to happen
Oh, what a surprise
That cold assassin
The passing of time

Here for a time
Keep things alive

Your dreams, won't die
If you remember them each day
Sweet dreams, blue sky
They're gonna take you all the way
I believe, in you, no lie
Your dreams, won't die
Your dreams won't die

So time's a healer
Well, that's what they say
It rings up empty
Don't give much away
Some go astray, some do much better
So know who you are
You're just a beggar
Or bright morning star

Just think it through
Till it makes sense to you

Your dreams, won't die
If you remember them each day
Sweet dreams, blue sky
They're gonna take you all the way
I believe, in you, no lie
Your dreams, won't die
Your dreams won't die

Whatever you become, baby
Whatever you decide
You're better off than some, baby
Don't keep it all inside

Your dreams, won't die
If you remember them each day
Sweet dreams, blue sky
They're gonna take you all the way
I believe, in you, no lie
Your dreams, won't die
Your dreams won't die

Your dreams, won't die
If you remember them each day
Sweet dreams, blue sky
They're gonna take you all the way
I believe, in you, no lie
Your dreams, won't die
Your dreams won't die

6. Afraid Of The Night

So this is it
Maybe we're finally here
Nothing will fit
Vision unclear
In your own room
Reading a book of your fears
Heavy perfume
Drowning in tears

Each one of us has some things
That we don't admit

You're still afraid of the night
When you're alone
You're still afraid of the night
So far from home
All of your courage mislaid
So let it better be known
You're still afraid of the night
Your cover's blown

You hear a sound
Not just an ordinary noise
Don't turn around
Open your eyes
You see it all
It's just an endless parade
You hear the call
Black serenade

So just when the palace falls
You wake up in bed

You're still afraid of the night
When you're alone
You're still afraid of the night
So far from home
All of your courage mislaid
So let it better be known
You're still afraid of the night
Your cover's blown

Deep, deep, you're fast asleep
So tired, washed upon shore
Deep, deep, you're fast asleep
So tired, you can't ignore

You're still afraid of the night
When you're alone
You're still afraid of the night
So far from home
All of your courage mislaid
So let it better be known
You're still afraid of the night
Your cover's blown

7. A Forgotten Conversation

Now you can't hide
When you see what you've done
So satisfied
By the power of your gun
It's hard to live
In a world you embrace
Don't understand
Don't know what's taking place

Nobody's destiny
Can just be washed away
But like your enemy
It's with you night and day

How many times did you break and cry?
Your heart was open but you knew it was a lie
How many times did you just deny?
The room was empty, there was nothing you could find
Woah, the room was empty, there's nothing left behind
Woah, the room was empty, the story of mankind

Now everyone
Will walk past, they're so blind
It's not the gun
That's on fire, it's the mind
And empty eyes
Look around for the door
Lost in the crowd
Disappeared and ignored

Nobody's destiny
Can just be washed away
But like your enemy
It's with you night and day

How many times did you break and cry?
Your heart was open but you knew it was a lie
How many times did you just deny?
The room was empty, there was nothing you could find
Woah, the room was empty, there's nothing left behind
Woah, the room was empty, the story of mankind

All the questions that you thought you'd never ask
While the field is like a churchyard, all in black
?With the shadows of the people that have passed
On a journey, no one knows their way back
And the rainbows will explode into the sky
A forgotten conversation passes by

Woah, the room was empty, there's nothing left behind
Woah, the room was empty, the story of mankind
Woah, the room was empty, there's nothing left behind
Woah, the room was empty, the story of mankind

8. Quiet Rhapsody

Ruby glowing from your window
Like the years it fades
There's a broken gold flamingo
Where the people prayed
Demanding now or never
That someone cares
Some standing all together
Some unaware

It's the time to make your play
Take the rose today
It's the time to have your say
Take the whole bouquet
Have no regrets and don't keep hanging on
Now all your yesterdays are gone

Situation's never ending
And the pages few
But it's always worth defending
If the story's true
Sleep gently, to discover
What's in your heart
No vengeance, all together
That's worlds apart

It's the time to make your play
Take the rose today
It's the time to have your say
Take the whole bouquet
Have no regrets and don't keep hanging on
Now all your yesterdays are gone

There's a quiet rhapsody
Ringing in your ears
And playing for eternity
Never disappears
Unexpected traveller
May be king of kings
While drowning in simplicity
Master of all things

It's the time to make your play
Take the rose today
It's the time to have your say
Take the whole bouquet
Have no regrets and don't keep hanging on
Now all your yesterdays are gone

It's the time to make your play
Take the rose today
It's the time to have your say
Take the whole bouquet
Have no regrets and don't keep hanging on
Now all your yesterdays are gone

Now all your yesterdays are gone
Now all your yesterdays are gone

9. Twelve Men Wise And Just

We all get carried away
And that's just living
Most of us going nowhere
Nothing to say
It takes a long time
To get where you're wanting to be
It takes a long time
Before you can see

Maybe tomorrow
You're tempting fate when you say
There'll be no sorrow
Might be the same as today
Politicians take the floor
Fool the people just once more
Promising everything just like before

So when the fortune teller said
That all the cards had been misread
And that they gave you up for dead for sure
You said you'd never compromise
But as you looked into her eyes
This really made you realize the cure

Stand in the middle to see
That's not a good thing
Someone keeps blocking your view
Losing your key
It takes a long time
So don't get too dissatisfied
It takes a long time
But it's justified

You couldn't swallow
Living your life on the run
How could you follow?
Knowing you might come undone
You weren't born to thrill the crowds
Be a martyr, shout out loud
Make sure your head don't get stuck in the clouds

So when the fortune teller said
That all the cards had been misread
And that they gave you up for dead for sure
You said you'd never compromise
But as you looked into her eyes
This really made you realize the cure

You can't speak
Don't feel whole
Just too weak
Heart's grown cold

Now you've decided
Which way that you're gonna go
Might be misguided
Crazy for all we might know
No one there to break the trust
Not a wind to blow the dust
Stand up the twelve men who speak wise and just

So when the fortune teller said
That all the cards had been misread
And that they gave you up for dead for sure
You said you'd never compromise
But as you looked into her eyes
This really made you realize the cure

You said you'd never compromise
But as you looked into her eyes
This really made you realize the cure

10. Don't Cry Baby

Don't cry, baby
Sometimes it's meant to be
Don't cry, baby
'Cause there's no guarantee
Walk away
Walk away

You're caught up in the past
How you gonna live?
Everything has crashed
You don't know how to forgive
You're lost out in the rain
And darkness will fall
You can feel the pain
When there's no one there to call

Don't cry, baby
There's a mountain to climb
Don't cry, baby
I'm sure this is your time
Walk away
Walk away

You're caught up in the past
How you gonna live?
Everything has crashed
You don't know how to forgive
You're lost out in the rain
And darkness will fall
You can feel the pain
When there's no one there to call

You're deserted, left to wander
Through the moonlight in the thunder
Riding streetcars, still no sleep comes
Lost your faith and lost your number

You're caught up in the past
How you gonna live?
Everything has crashed
You don't know how to forgive
You're lost out in the rain
And darkness will fall
You can feel the pain
When there's no one there to call

11. Phantom Of Paradise Circus

(бонус)

There's a room it's all broke and tattered
Where they say someone died
And the girl she ain't sure what happened
So she thinks she's alive

Hey come and walk the wire with me
Right to the other side
Yeah come and walk the wire with me
Eyes really open wide
?
But night after night she's still walking alone
The ghost of a memory once so well known
Though no-one can think of her real name
She still hears the sound of the crowd in vain
?
Rising up on a white horse she came
Every night she would ride
Deep in touch with her Zodiac signs
And her Indian guide
There was magic in the air
Danger followed behind
She appeared in a circle of flame
And the ringmaster cried

It's a place, that's too long forgotten
Though you'll still hear the sounds
But the flower will no longer blossom
and no people come round
?
She's walking on the wire again
A wave to greet them all
She's walking on the wire again
Don't know she's gonna fall

But no-one's aware that she's trapped there in time
She still keeps repeating the very same line
Yeah find me a preacher with tales to tell
I'll – I'll show him something to ring his bell

Standing up there like a shadow
Dressed in scarlet and in gold
Standing waiting for the moment
A story forever to be told

12. Don't Grow Up

(бонус)

Show me how you dance
Tell me what you think you found
Where do you go to?
And what makes you love that sound?

Took you such a long time, long time to know
Once you get that feeling you won't let go

Show me how you sing
Shout it loud with dignity
You've got the right to
You don't need no sympathy

Took you such a long time, long time to know
Once you get that feeling you won't let go

Don't grow up – Stay young for evermore
Don't grow up – Don't hide they'll criticize
Don't grow up – Stay young for evermore
Don't grow up – They won't apologize
Don't grow up – All things you can ignore
Don't grow up – Just improvise
Don't grow up – Stay young for evermore

Yeah!!!

Now you've got to talk
If you know you've got it right
Time to get into
Everything that comes to light

13. No God Or Saviour

(бонус)

You're searching for dharma still
To find something true
I know you've seen better times
But that's nothing new

We walk on a street of nails
And dance on the glass
Intentions are spiritual
But watch them fly past
?
And there are some things
We stumble upon
Whatever life brings
We take it all on
?
We spill the blood in this poisonous game
No God or Saviour should take the blame
And in our hearts we know face to face
We bring a curse on the human race

You look for divinity
Expression that's yours
A key with the answer born
To open all doors

A rich man won't need all this
He's king in his dreams
Though he was nobody's child
It's not what it seems
?
You never looked back
You left it behind
The theatre's in black
The curtain unwinds
?
Yeah an Arabian sun
Will surely set fire
Burn out the footsteps of some
Across the barbed wire
Yeah it's a crazy old world
That's what we live for
Yeah unforgiving cruel world
That's what we die for
