Лирика

1. Cheated

Lying here so weary girl
Just crying over you
The colours in our rainbow
How they've all turned blue
Raindrop in the ocean
That's what you've made of me today
But still I search for the answer
To why you went away

I've seen darkness
I've seen the light
I felt the pain, oh the pain
In the dead of night

I've been cheated
My hearts been bruised
I've been cheated
All my life I've just been used

Let me tell you darlin'
If you read the lines upon my face
Their sure enough to tell you
My heads out of place

Maybe tomorrow girl
You'll come back to set me free
Cos you know it's only you babe
Who holds the golden key

I've seen darkness
I've seen the light
I felt the pain, oh the pain
In the dead of night

I've been cheated
My hearts been bruised
I've been cheated
All my life I've just been used

I've been cheated
My hearts been bruised
I've been cheated
All my life I've just been used

2. All Day And All Of The Night

I'm not content to be with you in the day time
Girl I wanna be with you all the time

The only time I feel alright is by your side

Girl I wanna be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night
All of the time
All day and all of the night

I believe that you and me last forever
Oh yeah all day and night time yours leave me never

The only time I feel alright is by your side

Girl I wanna be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night
All of the time
All day and all of the night

I believe that you and me last forever
Oh yeah all day and night time yours leave me never

Girl I wanna be with you all of the time
All day and all of the night
All of the time
All day and all of the night

3. Running For Tomorrow

Let the skies darken
So I can see the light
Let the clouds open
To drown my scent of fright
The sounds now all around me
Echo madly in my mind
My life man soon be over
In this game against mankind

Running through the wilderness
Never standing still
Hell is close behind me
Moving in for the kill
A pack a crazy demons
Follow nearly on my trail
Will I ever see freedom
Or is this my turn to fail

Running for tomorrow
Hiding from today
Running for tomorrow
Can't look back on yesterday

Let the skies darken
So I can see the light
Let the clouds open
To drown my scent of fright
The sounds now all around me
Echo madly in my mind
My life man soon be over
In this game against mankind

Running for tomorrow
Hiding from today
Running for tomorrow
Can't look back on yesterday

Running for tomorrow
Hiding from today
Running for tomorrow
Can't look back on yesterday

4. Rich City Kids

As nightime falls they come alive
And show their pretty faces
Out come the flash cars
And the girls who wait for longed embraces
The work they do is short and sweet
The money's there for the taking
Well daddy's rich and he don't care
It's all part of juniors makind

Stay alive like the rich kids
Stay alive on the city
Stay alive like the rich kids
Don't get shot in the city

The esteem they hold has not been earned
But money talks so loudly
They walk on ground that's shared by stars
Who've climed their ladders proudly
Society holds this place in our dreams
For those who ain't sitting waiting
While the rest of us stare in vain
It's all part of juniors making

Stay alive like the rich kids
Stay alive on the city
Stay alive like the rich kids
Don't get shot in the city

False friends know how far to go
Before they can be caught
But who knows who the real ones are
For only these have yet to be bought
The work they do is short and sweet
The money's there for the taking
Well daddy's rich and he don't care
It's all part of juniors makind

Stay alive like the rich kids
Stay alive on the city
Stay alive like the rich kids
Don't get shot in the city

5. Lovers To The Grave

Daylight giving way to night
Darkness roams the sky
Sinners of the night return the sanguinary cry
A virgins life falls to the grave
Submitting to the call
Her blood to bathe the devils needs
Her body has no soul

Lovers to the grave
They give their lives if there's no other way
Lovers to the grave
They've had their games and now it's time to pay

Dancing in the midnight sun
Children of the dark
Players in a game of death
Lovers with no heart
The web of doom may never die
Roots of evil grow
The devils touch is in the heart
The fury in the soul

Lovers to the grave
They give their lives if there's no other way
Lovers to the grave
They've had their games and now it's time to pay

Oh Lord – oh Lord, it's time to pay

6. Panic In The Streets

Oh freedom fighters, out there on the street
Searching like vampires for the blood of their feast
All the super cool boys their bodies have no soul
They say they have a heart but you know its made of stone

Fighting for a reason
It's something they call freedom
They stalk the streets like hungry wolves
In the midnight heat
Fightting for a reason
It's something they call freedom
But you know the reason
Is panic in the streets

And you'll always see the heroes retreat before defeat
In talk they breathe fire out in action they are cheap
Oh freedom fighter sail on through the night
Ya say your tough but that ain't enough
Ya gotta try to put it right

Oh freedom fighters, out there on the street
Searching like vampires for the blood of their feast
All the super cool boys their bodies have no soul
They say they have a heart but you know its made

Fighting for a reason
It's something they call freedom
They stalk the streets like hungry wolves
In the midnight heat
Fightting for a reason
It's something they call freedom
But you know the reason
Is panic in the streets

7. Beads Of Ebony

You're poised there in such radiance
So unclouded, so serene
As others flock around you
Someday you shall be queen
Into the icy wastes you peer
With eyes of scrutiny
But who's to say in this new world
What is your destiny

You're the one my child
You are the chosen one
The one they want in your prime
Farewell my fearful beads of ebony
It's you who is the first this time

Who are those frightening creatures
How they strumble through the snow
Have they come to greet you
You are very soon to know
As he towers high above you with no mercy or no shame
No bullet – there's no scar that way
Oh, those screams of pain

You're the one my child
You are the chosen one
The one they want in your prime
Farewell my fearful beads of ebony
It's you who is the first this time

It's over now for another year
They've done their dirty deed
It's cold once more
But your sister waits to take your brothers seed
I thought I saw you on the Hollywood screen
You were the star of the show
She could not see those beads of ebony
Or the blood now covered by snow

You're the one my child
You are the chosen one
The one they want in your prime
Farewell my fearful beads of ebony
It's you who is the first this time

8. Flirting With Suicide

To see the light
To see the light
Of the day that may never see night
The lady awaits to open the gates
Today there won't be a fight
And he knows it has to be that way
It's instinct you know not choice
An urge he only feels inside
That can't be expresed in his voice

Flirting with suicide
No return ticket
No place to hide
Flirting with suicide
'cause this is just a one way ride

Winging his way on a path of pure ecstasy
Her scent draws him closer, a tear
Can he win over he heart, win it just that once
Her object is blatantly clear

Flirting with suicide
No return ticket
No place to hide
Flirting with suicide
'cause this is just a one way ride

The encounter was usual the feeling was mutural
Now came the hardest part
As they exchanted glances he took no chances
Aiming his song at her heart
But the lady she knows it's been tried before
You've gotta admire her tact
And in the midday sun with no place to run
She commenced her sacrificial act
With a prayer to the Lord he brandished his sword
Her passion raged like fire
In just a few moments the two had become
A fusion of frenzied desire
Glistering wings entangled limbs buttered just to her likin'
If insect were man then he should be proud
He fell to her just like a vikin'

Flirting with suicide
No return ticket
No place to hide
Flirting with suicide
'cause this is just a one way ride

9. Children Of The Earth

Where are the mountains
Where are the trees
Together with our ashes
They're blown in the breeze
Death and destruction
Has ruined our lives
But now it's the end as mankind truly dies

For we were children of the earth
Orphans of the universe
Children of the earth
But now our mother is dead

God help us open out shuttered eyes
To see what we've
Done to this once paradise
Forgive us our sins
For we were blind to the fact
That we were ruining
This land and gods holy pact

For we were children of the earth
Orphans of the universe
Children of the earth
But now our mother is dead

Time has no meaning
Time tells no lies
Man has envolved as a predator of disguise
Collect all our evils, place them side by side
There you have the potion for mass suicide

For we were children of the earth
Orphans of the universe
Children of the earth
But now our mother is dead
