1. Shame

opened up my eyes and saw the sky
over meadows where i lie
then i heard the children cry
in my sleep i saw a distant light
it arose and left in flight
then the shadows faded to white
in the night

Why should everybody have to pay?
shame on you, shame on me
is there any place to hide away?
blame it on humanity
Why should everybody have to pay?
shame on you, shame on me
will our children have a say?

field of sand exposed under the sun
where a river used to run
would it ever be undone?
hide the wounds that we tried to heal in time
with our power so divine
such an unforgiven crime
such a crime

Why should everybody have to pay?
shame on you, shame on me
is there any place to hide away?
blame it on humanity
Why should everybody have to pay?
shame on you, shame on me
will our children have a say?

are you ready?
it won't be long until we know
are you ready?

Why should everybody have to pay?
shame on you, shame on me
is there any place to hide away?
blame it on humanity
Why should everybody have to pay?
shame on you, shame on me
is there any place to hide away?
blame it on humanity
you should have known better

2. Strangers In Time

look around, alone in the cold
so mystified
did you know the stories they told
would pass you by

there's a new constitution
and it's telling you to change your style
would you like a revolution?
everybody's got to walk the mile
you'll be dying

when you're out on a limb
and don't know where to begin
feel like you're living a sin
cause you're a stranger
you abide by the rules
the ones they taught you at school
they make you feel like a fool
cause you're a stranger in time

there's a twist to the story
now we've reached the point of no return
one of power one of glory
are you gonna let your bridges burn

when you're out on a limb
and don't know where to begin
feel like you're living a sin
cause you're a stranger
you abide by the rules
the ones they taught you at school
they make you feel like a fool
cause you're a stranger in time
in time... in time

are you dying?
gonna let your bridges burn
you'll be crying

when you're out on a limb
and don't know where to begin
feel like you're living a sin
cause you're a stranger
you abide by the rules
the ones they taught you at school
they make you feel like a fool
cause you're a stranger in time
in time... in time

3. Break The Silence

wait before you try to be a hero
wait before the turning of the tide
you don't feel the thunder
and you don't feel the rain
help's not a word that you defined
but it's so hard to do
all the things they ask of you

break the silence
let your madness guide the way – the madness
satisfaction is the price you'll have to pay
break the silence

stop the cause i can't listen any longer
stop the contradiction in your life
gotta make a difference
gotta make a change
help's the word that cuts you like a knife
but it?s so hard to do
all the things they ask of you

break the silence
let your madness guide the way – the madness
satisfaction is the price you'll have to pay – the sadness
search your soul if there's a way to fill the wreck – the blindness
show your wisdom there?s a chance to get it back
break the silence

wait for the sign
wait for tomorrow
gotta make a difference
gotta make a change
help's the word that cuts you like a knife
like a knife

break the silence
let your madness guide the way – the madness
satisfaction is the price you'll have to pay – the sadness
search your soul if there's a way to fill the wreck – the blindness
show your wisdom there?s a chance to get it back
break the silence

4. Electrified

i'm electrified, i'm humoungonized

5. Over The Fire

when you hear the voice inside you
does it tell you what to do?
do you take the time to listen?
do the things he asked of you
break out of the chains that bind you down
satisfy your soul, go the only way

out of the darkness of mind
don't be afraid of your find

so just
hold your hand over the fire
hold your hand over the fire

now you found a good solution
now it's time to get it right
got no time for your excuses
there will be no alibi
wait, but there's notime to hesitate
there's no time to sit and wait
got to take a chance
head the words i say

out of the darkness of mind
don't be afraid of your find

hold your hand over the fire
hold your hand over the fire
hold your hand over the fire
hold your hand over the fire

out of the dark
into the light it will shine

you were a clown
wearing a frown
life was a circus
that just came to town
but it's all just a lie
and you know why it's a lie

hold your hand over the fire
hold your hand over the fire
hold your hand over the fire
hold your hand over the fire

6. Losing My Faith

The Day Breaks, my mind aches
fighting with my destiny
emotion, confusion, driving me to misery
i found out, there's something
that i've never had before
religion, devotion
help me fight this hopeless war

should i stand before the alter?
should i walk the beaten path?
if i leave before i falter
should i make the moment last?

before i lose my faith

dismayal, betrayal, running deep inside of me
i'm kneeling and praying
for the sign that set's me free
i listened your wisdom
taught me things i never knew
i'm blinded by darkness
and i don't know what to do!

should i stand before the alter?
should i walk the beaten path?
if i leave before i falter
should i make the moment last?

before i lose my faith... Losing my faith...

should i stand before the alter?
should i walk the beaten path?
if i leave before i falter
should i make the moment last?

should i stand before the alter?
should i walk the beaten path?
if i leave before i falter
should i make the moment last?

before i lose my faith... Losing my faith...

7. Higher Kind Of Life

it's such a damn disgrace
to see the human race
fall to pieces right in front of me
there's got to be a way
i heard somebody say
but you must kneel to my philosophy

looks like a higher kind of life
what i need
looks like a higher kind of life
oh help me, i don't want to be wrong
someone told me, someone said
looks like a higher kind of life
but i won't do it, do it, do it again

now i'm looking a the sun
and i'm not the only one
blinded by new found authority
he speaks to me the word
in a way i never heard
i'm the product of his personality

looks like a higher kind of life
what i need
looks like a higher kind of life
oh help me, i don't want to be wrong
someone told me, someone said
looks like a higher kind of life
but i won't do it, do it, do it again

round and round and round we go
welcome to the one man show...

looks like a higher kind of life
what i need
looks like a higher kind of life
oh help me, i don't want to be wrong
someone told me, someone said
looks like a higher kind of life
but i won't
No i won't
no I won't
do it again

8. Burn Your Soul

you're the hunter
got the demon in your knees
on a mountain
and you're looking down to paradise

gonna brush away those wasted years
and you'll never stop to wonder
are you making a name, are you feeling no pain?
then you

burn your soul, burn your soul
nothing for the weary hearted
burn your soul, burn your soul
nothing for the ones you left behind

now you're running
like a roller coaster ride
revolution
breaking into flight, you'd better hold on tight

gonna brush away those wasted years
and you'll never stop to wonder
are you making a name, are you feeling no pain?
then you...

burn your soul, burn your soul
nothing for the weary hearted
burn your soul, burn your soul
nothing for the ones you left behind

you are the hunter
you won't be left behind
and nothing will change your mind

gonna brush away those wasted years
and you'll never stop to wonder
gonna cry again those bitter tears
you got something to do, and it's all up to you
so you'll...

burn your soul, burn your soul
nothing for the weary hearted
burn your soul, burn your soul
nothing for the ones that parted

burn your soul, burn your soul
nothing for the weary hearted
burn your soul, burn your soul
nothing for the ones you left behind

9. Rocket Ride

Heard your mother she answered the phone
she whispered softly you're not at home
i tried to listen, are you really there?
i get the feeling that you don't care

now i'm crying, i can't hide my pain no
got to get away, we got to get away

now i stand in the poring rain
see your shadow and call your name
you want to answer but
you're caught by surprise
another reason to say goodbye

So i'm crying, i can't hide my pain no
got to get away, we got to get away

we could take a rocket ride and
find a place where we could hide
i'll take you there
let me take you to a place
where there's no hurt and no disgrace
i'll take you there, i'll take you there

i'll show you love if you take my hand
i'll lead you off to a promised land
i'm sick of living in deep dispare
just take my hand and i'll lead you there

so i'm crying, i can't hide my pain no
got to get away, we got to get away

we could take a rocket ride and
find a place where we could hide
i'll take you there
let me take you to a place
where there's no hurt and no disgrace
i'll take you there, i'll take you there

we're running, we're running
our lives have gone astray
we're running, we're hiding away
we're running, we're hiding away

we could take a rocket ride and
find a place where we could hide
i'll take you there
let me take you to a place
where there's no hurt and no disgrace
i'll take you there
we could take a rocket ride and
find a place where we could hide
i'll take you there
let me take you to a place
where there's no hurt and no disgrace
i'll take you there, i'll take you there

10. Best For You

so lonely, divided
i'm not where i wanna be
my consciense is weighted
the responsibility

and so i try, got to find a way
to make it right, don't you forget about me

don't you ever think you're left behind

all i want is the best for you
you deserve it, too, my innocent child
tell me something that i can do
i'd be happy to, my innocent child
all i want is the best for you
you deserve it, too, tell me something new

i want it to let me be
no harm was intended
but now it is haunting me

and so i try, got to find a way

don't you ever think you're left behind

all i want is the best for you
you deserve it, too, my innocent child
tell me something that i can do
i'd be happy to, my innocent child
all i want is the best for you
you deserve it, too, tell me something new

it takes my heart out
got to live before we learn
it takes my heart out
i'll let my bridges burn

and so i try, got to find a way
to make it right, don't you forget about me
it all takes time
don't you ever think you're left behind

11. Gone Again

I'm waiting for the train darling
and I don't know where I'm heading to
But I don't think that it really matters
It's been a while since we parted
I close my eyes and I picture your lovely face
and the sweet scent of your long dark hair
I was thinking we could get together
What would she say, what would she say?

I want you to know that I'm sorry, too
I want you to know what I'm going through
Keeping good times and forget our pride
It's another day without you
You're gone again, you're gone again

I tried to call you Up a thousand times
but all I get is your answering machine
I'm just a fool like every guy
I want to change, just help me change

I want you to know that I'm sorry, too
I want you to know what I'm going through
Keeping good times and forget our pride
It's another day without you
I want you to know that I'm sorry, too
I want you to know what I'm going through
Keeping good times and forget our pride
It's another day without you
You're gone again

Don't ever let, let the sun go down
cause you're the light in my life

If I could measure my petitions in prayers
I'd write them all down again and again
Cause it's hard to say forgive me
Don't let me go, don't let me go

I want you to know that I'm sorry, too
I want you to know what I'm going through
Keeping good times and forget our pride
It's another day without you
I want you to know that I'm sorry, too
I want you to know what I'm going through
Keeping good times and forget our pride

What should I say when you walk away
got me believing, that you're gone again
