1. The Stranger

Tired of wasting precious time praying for the rain,
Rip away my innocence, take away the pain,
Everyday I fantasize, sad enough but true,
Dreaming of a better life, outside the tomb...

Wizened, the expressionless faces made of clay,
Color ground to monochrome, dirty shades of Grey,
Counting our tomorrows like all our yesterdays
Carbon copies thrown around, rewind, erase...

Talk to me now.... Talk to the stranger,
Turn a shrouded face to the light,
Burn beyond this place to another world
Talk to me now...talk to the stranger
Talk to me now.... Talk to the stranger,
Throw this isolation a line,
Don't deny this taste of another, girl
Talk to me now...talk to the stranger

I could give her everything if she has the key
She who holds this beating heart, tears it out of me
Patience is a lonely sound, now it's wearing thin,
Loosing my control around this fire within...

Talk to me now.... Talk to the stranger,
Turn a shrouded face to the light,
Burn beyond this place to another world
Talk to me now...talk to the stranger
Talk to me now.... Talk to the stranger,
Throw this isolation a line,
Don't deny this taste of another, girl
Talk to me now...talk to the stranger

2. Barricade

This surge of emotion breaks Rule One,
Exposes and opens my Renaissance,
Defenses are broken and undone,
I'm slave to the motion; I've burned for so long,

This seed of desire, transforming sin
Through screams of denial so deafening
That close to the fire this cool bomb
Implodes and defiles,
She's turning me on,

I've seen the Lightning now I'm waiting for the Thunder
For I'm imprisoned by the spell she has me under

Burn this city to the ground sweet baby
Take this giant leap of faith
Crush these cynics that surround me baby
Reach out, don't speak,
Tear down this Barricade.

I can't look away now, there's too much pull
As thought from a notion turns chemical,
It's lust and desire, a pure drug,
She feeds my emotion; I can't get enough,

I'm climbin' a mountain, the highest yet,
I'm walkin' a wire, no safety net,
She knows that I want her, I'm so lost,
I just gotta have her,
To hell with the cost,

I've seen the Lightning now I'm waiting for the Thunder
For I'm imprisoned by the spell she has me under

Burn this city to the ground sweet baby
Take this giant leap of faith
Crush these cynics that surround me baby
Reach out, don't speak,
Tear down this Barricade.

3. Give In This Time

I can't say this kind of line,
The words just don't feel natural,
They climb, then shatter 'round this heart of mine,
Night and day you're on my mind,
And in my dreams I'm blinded by your light,
Don't tear this world apart tonight

Yes I've heard that love is such a rocky road,
Still, walk with me a while and you'll find,
That my words are carried on the wings of hope,
The 'one time only' kind

We could burn so bright (Fire burning bright??), light up the night
Come on,
Two stars the same, so fan the flames,
Come on...give in this time...

When I try to speak I find
The things I say seem so contrived,
I find I stumble when I try to fly
God knows just how hard I've tried
But failed to tell you how I feel
Inside...
I wanted to a thousand times

If you can be gentle with this heart of mine,
I'm finally steppin' into the light,
In your hands you carry what I've tried to hide,
But just can't keep inside,

We could burn so bright (Fire burning bright??), light up the night
Come on,
Two stars the same, so fan the flames,
Come on...give in this time...
We could burn so bright, this satellite
Come on,
Two stars the same, don't fight in vain,
Come on...give in this time...

4. Love Became The Law

It's you that I adore,
How could I count the ways?
For I have found with you
A love so pure and true
That nothing breaks the fall,

Well maybe I'm in awe,
Just maybe I'm amazed,
When every road I choose
Begins and ends with you,
I'm finally not alone,

Love like ours burns like fire, dusk 'till dawn,
Endless light giving proof,
Love like ours answers why we were born,
I was confused, then there was you,
And love became the law

In love you give it all
Your heart decides the way,
The sweetest kiss and tell
That casts a moonlit spell
Then pins you to the wall,

Love like ours burns like fire, dusk 'till dawn,
Endless light giving proof,
Love like ours answers why we were born,
I was confused, then there was you,
And love became the law

5. The Heat

I don't expect you'll understand,
The cruellest jokes at love's command,
They cut me with the things they said,
I walked away believing them,
They made a perfect fool of me,
They laid a trap I didn't see,
Though I was shaken critically
Through my veins runs Nitro-glycerine, yeah

I can't control it,
I can't condone defeat,
I can't console it,
I will never understand The Heat...

I watched it fall and melt today,
Yet even now some scars remain,
I felt you dry my tears away,
The silence reigns as laughter fades
I'm blocking out 'the lies brigade',
For next time I'll wear battle grey,
When love and anger steel the blade,
The deepest cuts fall harder when repaid, yeah

I can't control it,
I can't condone defeat,
I can't console it,
I will never understand The Heat...

6. Silent Rain

There was once a time long ago,
When true love drew man and woman together,
She was all he wanted to know
And he swore that he would love her forever,

So the light fades the colours of life when it's gone,
Like a lost ship of dreams that failed to sail,
But to him she was more than just another fairy tail,
She became his reality unveiled,

Silent Rain
You and I have shared the fears the night betrayed
Through the eyes where love appeared but died in vain
Torn open, bound together
Silent Rain,
Even now, you hide the tears, you light the way
Through the darkness that remains
A brand new day, dawns broken, now, forever...
Silent Rain.

Wait for me, one bright star away,
There we'll spend our timeless moments together,
What we built let no one replace,
There's a place here in my heart child, forever,

If the light fades the colours of life when it's gone,
Like a lost ship of dreams that failed to sail,
We will prove we were more than just another fairy tail,
What we had was reality unveiled,

Silent Rain
You and I have shared the fears the night betrayed
Through the eyes where love appeared but died in vain
Torn open, bound together
Silent Rain,
Even now, you hide the tears, you light the way
Through the darkness that remains
A brand new day, dawns broken, now, forever...
Silent Rain.

There was once a time long ago,
When true love drew man and woman together,
You were all I wanted to know
And I swore that I would love you forever,

So the light fades the colours of life when it's gone,
Like a lost ship of dreams that failed to sail,
But to me you were more than just another fairy tail,
You became my reality unveiled,

Silent Rain
You and I have shared the fears the night betrayed
Through the eyes where love appeared but died in vain
Torn open, bound together
Silent Rain,
Even now, you hide the tears, you light the way
Through the darkness that remains
A brand new day, dawns broken, now, forever...
Silent Rain.

7. Timeless

No, don't leave me alone like this,
Balanced on the edge of a precipice
Empty hearted soul in the great abyss
Life takes hold of the knife and twists
Judas is the night at a time like this
Callously unveiling the final kiss,

Timeless Inferno,
Like the flames and acid rain of mortal sin
Timeless, Eternal
As the pain that carves its name upon my skin

All cried out and raw inside
I lie awake at night and I wonder why
Someone tore the miracle from my life
What I wouldn't give to turn back time
Knowing I should never have left your side
Haunting me forever until I die

Timeless Inferno,
Like the flames and acid rain of mortal sin
Timeless, Eternal
As the pain that carves its name upon my skin

8. Black Hearted Woman

She doesn't need love potions, number five, number nine,
She's what my 'sole desire for revenge' designs,
Born of such pain, inconsolable blame
Lies scattered like the pieces of a dream,
Blood from my veins brings my venomous strain to life...

So now the only solution is an eye for an eye,
There can be no retribution in this web of lies,
The murderous quest I refined without rest,
I'm ready, now the battle can begin
The merciless test for my angel of death tonight...

She is the devil; she's a Black Hearted Woman,
I made her slender fingers cut like knives,
For nothing tears a man apart like a woman,
She'll shoot you dead, she needs no alibis.

Now there can be no protection from what can't be denied,
You can't refuse or reject her; she's the perfect crime,
Driving like the rain, she's a runaway train,
She's burning but the flames are within,
Evil unchained, my 'untouchable' reigns tonight...

She is the devil; she's a Black Hearted Woman,
I made her slender fingers cut like knives,
For nothing tears a man apart like a woman,
She'll shoot you dead, she needs no alibis

She is the devil; she's a Black Hearted Woman,
I cloaked a killer with a thin disguise,
For nothing tears a man apart like a woman,
You'll go to hell and think its Paradise
Tonight.

She is the devil; she's a Black Hearted Woman,
I made her slender fingers cut like knives,
For nothing tears a man apart like a woman,
She'll shoot you dead, she needs no alibis
Tonight.

9. Thunder In Heaven

Just like a dream with a nightmare inside,
Cruel, calculating and cold,
Scene after scene, the deeper you fall,
Drawn by the bell as it tolls
Cybernetic immortal,
Technological gold,
Psychological portals,
Only she can control,

Endless ravine with a mountain to climb,
Look to the vision she holds,
Killer and Queen rolled into one,
Assassination enclosed,
Cybernetic immortal,
Technological gold,
Psychological portals,
Only she can control,

Come to me,
Explore your tortuous role,
Come to me,
I am your ultimate fantasy goal,
(Come to me)
Your wildest dream I unfold,
Can't you see?
I give you the earth but the price is your soul

She's like a stream with the rapids to ride,
Priceless precision in code,
Perfect machine, goddess of love,
Pure holographics to clone,
Cybernetic immortal,
Technological gold,
Psychological portals,
Only she can control,

Come to me,
Explore your tortuous role,
Come to me,
I am your ultimate fantasy goal,
(Come to me)
Your wildest dream I unfold,
Can't you see?
I give you the earth but the price is your soul

He steps off the edge, fire in his eyes,
Hands reaching out as she tenderly sighs
"Closer" she says, arms open wide,
Slave to her will and the ebb of the tide,
Blown by the wind, mind and soul,
He can't contain her; she's out of control,
Just as the Black Widow bites
I feel the thunder in heaven tonight

The taste of revenge fresh on her lips,
Bittersweet poison, the venomous kiss,
Passion and lace thinly disguise
Truth of intent in those perilous eyes
Time for the kill, madness flows,
She stands above him, in seconds he knows,
Just as the still Mantis strikes,
I hear the thunder in heaven tonight

10. Valentine

My lover and my friend,
I'm broken once again,
I've lost the will to mend, oh baby,
For now this world is through,
I've saved the best of me,
So all I need is you, oh baby

For you and I the key is for eternity,
You make the dark seem closer to the light
You stole my heart you see,
So take what's left of me,
Come love me baby...sweet Valentine.

So let the world lament
The precious time we spent,
Two stars that came and went, oh baby
Eternal requiem,
I'll never find the strength
To love like this again, oh baby

If you could only see how much you mean to me,
If for a moment our lives could entwine,
I'd give the world to be beside you endlessly,
My one and only...sweet Valentine.

For you and I the key is for eternity
You make the dark seem closer to the light
You stole my heart you see,
So take what's left of me,
Come love me baby...sweet Valentine.

If you could only see how much you mean to me,
If for a moment our lives could entwine,
I'd give the world to be beside you endlessly,
My one and only...
Sweet Valentine.
