1. Walking Wounded

Is it safe to look within?
And to erase all that's been?
And all that's been between
Is it gone? Tell me what went wrong?

'Cause, baby, I'm not that strong
And I'm walking wounded, all alone, all alone

Are you comfortable and numb?
Do they all succumb to all those lies?
Does it satisfy the greed?
Is it all you need? Is it all you want?

Well, baby, I'm not that strong
And I'm walking wounded, all alone
And, baby, I'm not that strong
And I'm walking wounded, all alone, all alone

How does it feel?
How does it feel, baby, now?
How does it feel?
How does it feel?

If your memories do stray
Then they betray all that's past
And all that's been between
Is it gone? Tell me what went wrong?

'Cause, baby, I'm not that strong
And I'm walking wounded, all alone
And, baby, I'm not that strong
And I'm walking wounded, all alone, all alone

How does it feel?
How does it feel, baby, now?
How does it feel?
How does it feel?

How does it feel?
How does it feel?
How does it feel?
How does it feel, baby, now?

2. Temptation

Driven by restrained desire
I want what I need
Shaking as her sex takes hold
I've lost all control

Temptation
Temptation

Drowning in a sea of rage
I taste the embrace
Helpless as it steals my soul
I've lost all control

Temptation
It never lets me down
Temptation
One foot in the ground

We exist in a world
Where the fear of illusion is real
And we cling to the past
To deny and confuse the ideal
Once inside we conceive
And believe in a god we can't feel
I can't feel it
I can't feel it
I can't feel

Destined by a fate so cruel
I'm drugged to delight
Laughing as these lies unfold
I've lost all control

Temptation
It never lets me down
Temptation
One foot in the ground
Temptation
You satisfy my soul
Temptation
I've lost all control

3. The Messenger

Got a letter from a messenger
I read it when it came
It said that you were wounded
You were bound and chained
You had love and you were handled
You were poisoned, you were pained
Oh, no, oh, no
You were naked, you were shamed

You could almost touch heaven
Right there in front of you
Liberty just slipped away on us
Now there's so much work to do
Oh, the door that closes tightly
Is the door than can swing wide
Oh, no, oh, no
Not expecting to collide

For a minute I let my guard down
Not afraid to be found out
I completely forgot, dear
What our fears were all about
Oh, no, oh, no
There's no need to be without

If there's a chance I would take it
This desire I can't kill, no
Take my heart, please don't break it
I will crawl to your foothill
I'm frightened but I'm coming
Please, baby, please lay still
Oh, no, oh, no
I'm not coming for the kill
Oh, no
I'm not coming for the kill
Oh, no
I'm not coming for the kill

4. Psychopomp

You wanted this
So sad to see
The sweet decay
Of ecstasy

And you want it all
And you want it all

A frozen sun
Would guide you there
As shadows hide
The deep despair

And you want it all
And you want it all

I'll give you something more
And you'll fade away
One last kiss before
You fade away

So sleep tonight
In idle dreams
The pain will drown
Your silent screams

And you want it all
And you want it all

I'll give you something more
And you'll fade away
One last kiss before
You fade away

Lives you once adored
Will fade away
Lies you can't ignore
You soon repay

As you fade away
As you fade away
As you fade away
As you fade away
And you'll fade away

5. Sister Awake

When the winter was over
She returned there to find him
And her memories filled her with light

She remembered the beauty
She remembered desires
And her memories filled her with light

I am the sun in the flame
Cold from the flame turns away
And in these winds came a change
She awakes

Sister, walk through these fields of delight
I want you to know
Desperation's the tenderest trap
So gently you go

What will it take?
Sister awake
Sister awake
Sister
Sister

When this beautiful cult of desire
Has left you for dead
Isolation will cradle the lies
Of things left unsaid

What will it take?
Sister awake
Sister awake
Sister
Sister

And you'll look to the heavens above
And taste its deceit
These temptations have blinded desires
To sleep at their feet

What will it take?
Sister awake
Sister awake
Sister
Sister
Sister
Sister

And you'll hear them call out your name
Invoking the fates
Chances are you've travelled too far
In stirring their hate

So what will it take?
My sister awake
Sister awake
Sister awake
Awake
Awake

6. The Bazaar

Silence swimming in a pool of dreams
Beneath its depths the forgotten streams
Above the city of the evening star
Behind its walls the grand bazaar
As she walks through its endless maze
Cursing those who mistrust her ways
Please, my friend, no matter what she sees
Tell my lover come back to me

Doorways spilling out their sombre light
Casting shadows that will raid the night
Along the alleys of her ruling fears
Walk the visions that'll cause her tears
Lying still as she wills her glance
Through the eyes of a charmer's trance
Please, my friend, no matter what she sees
Tell my lover come back to me

To me
To me
To me

And on the walls shadows play
Twilight souls, anguished ways
Lost adrift severed seas
I await you, come to me

Silence swimming in a pool of dreams
Beneath its depths the forgotten streams
Above the city of the evening star
Behind its walls the grand bazaar
As she walks through its endless maze
Cursing those who mistrust her ways
Please, my friend, no matter what she sees
Tell my lover come back to me

To me
To me
To me

7. Save Me

I must leave you tonight, my love, remain so faithfully
I must go off to war, my dear, the kings await me
I will go so far away
I will always love you, but you knew it

I regret to tell you, your man has died tonight
He was a brave man, he fought a brave fight
He was killed by the other side
He was killed by the other men's knives

She said save me
Save me

Why must you love this man? He is your brother
This is easy to understand, my son, there is no other
I cannot pretend to love this man like my father
I cannot pretend, mother, there is no other

She said save me
Save me

Save me
Save me

When there is no truth, let's end this lie tonight
This is easy to understand, without your best eyes
But I see a new sun rising in the east
But I see a new sun rising in the east

She said save me
Save me

Save me
Save you

8. Fire In The Head

You stay
Silent, knowing, always in time
See how this love stays divine
See how this love stays divine

You stay
Silent, knowing, always in time
See how this love stays divine
See how this love stays divine

Sleep here
Hoping, knowing, always in time
See how the love stays divine
See how the love stays divine
This is the way, step inside

And I'm waiting
When I return to her I find
And I'm waiting
Flowers of evil in my mind
And I'm waiting
Dancing with fire on the edge
And I'm waiting
Remembering all of what she said
And I'm waiting
Hoping the rains will wash away
And I'm waiting
Hoping a guide will show the way
And I'm waiting
Dancing with fire on the edge
And I'm waiting
Remembering all of what she said
With this fire in the head

You stay
Silent, knowing, always in time
See how this love stays divine
See how this love stays divine
This is the way, step inside

And I'm waiting
When I return to her I find
And I'm waiting
Flowers of evil in my mind
And I'm waiting
Dancing with fire on the edge
And I'm waiting
Remembering all of what she said
And I'm waiting
Hoping the rains will wash away
And I'm waiting
Hoping a guide will show the way
And I'm waiting
Dancing with fire on the edge
And I'm waiting
Remembering all of what she said
With this fire in the head

Yeah

Sleep here
Hoping, knowing, always in time
See how the love stays divine
See how the love stays divine
This is the way, step inside

9. Release

I want the world to wake
I want to give you peace
I want to vindicate
You need to be released

Don't want to hurt you
I need to make you see
If I desert you
It's just to make you see

That I'm a man that's weak
And I'm a man that's lost
I gave it all away
To complicate the cost

Don't want to hurt you
I need to make you see
If I desert you
It's just to make you see

Not going to hurt you now
I need to make you see
If I desert you now
It's just to make you see

I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me
I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me

I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me
I want you to be free
I want you to be free from me

10. Heaven Coming Down

With nothing to do
You'd waste away
Obscured in exile
They've witnessed the times
You've gone astray
And whose fault? Now you're thinking

Ah, there's nothing to prove
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby

And it feels now
Just like heaven's coming down

So strange are the ways
They all have changed
Still life, it stayed the same
A break from the past
Could make it last
Oh, maybe just a little longer

Now there's nothing to prove
A snapshot from the crowd to the shore, baby

And it feels now
Just like heaven's coming down
Your soul shakes free
As its conscience hits the ground

You surrender
Love under will
Rest assured
Baby, you're adored

And it feels now
Just like heaven's coming down
Your soul shakes free
As its conscience hits the ground

These signs, this fate
Takes a path you didn't choose
Stay strong, keep faith
There's a change that's coming through

Feels like heaven's coming down
Hold on, my love
Feels like heaven's coming down
Hold on, my love
Feels like heaven's coming down
Hold on, my love
Feels like heaven's coming down

11. The River

Sailing down
Down the Styx again
Without you, my love
I want to return but then
I see all my friends
They want me to join but then
They all melt away
Without you, alone

And the river's running through my veins
Lately she don't seem the same
And the blood keeps calling out my name

I pass by the sins
Left by a different man
The tides brought them here
Cast by a different hand
And the wisps of the winds
Blow with the Styx again
Pushing me on
Without you, alone

And the river's running through my veins
Lately she don't seem the same
And the blood keeps calling out my name

And the river running down
And the river running down
And the river running down
And the river

My will must be strong
To rise with a different light
My will must belong
I'm still pushing for different heights
And the wisps of the winds
Blow with the Styx again
The river runs red
And I'm left alone

And the river's running through my veins
Lately she don't seem the same
And the blood keeps calling out my name
And the river's running, yeah

Help me, baby
Help me, baby
Help me, baby
Help me, baby, ooh, yeah
Help me, baby
Help me, baby
Help me, baby
Yes

12. Babylon

Now that the thrill of the massacre's over
Isn't it sweet when she sucks on your veins

I've waited so long
I've waited so long
I've waited
I've waited so long

I roll back the stone just to see what I'm missing
Glimpses of grandeur now faced with defeat

I've waited so long
I've waited so long
I've waited
I've waited so

Now that your kingdom of Babylon's fading
Where will you turn when you can't find your soul?

I've waited so long
I've waited so long
I've waited
I've waited so long

Salvation's at hand, it's a matter of taste, dear
Lost in ideals that you found in the trash

I've waited so long
I've waited so long
I've waited
I've waited so long

13. Waiting On A Sign

I see you walking
You're a miracle on earth
And I've been tempted
But now my will won't stray

So please say you'll stay
You know that I'm a good man
It's going to take a little time
If you're waiting on a sign

I know I've hurt you
I won't hurt you any more
Your tears have spoken
I want to wash your tears away

So please say you'll stay
I swear that I'm a good man
It's going to take a little time
If you're waiting on a sign

And I remember
Like a martyr in the moonlight
This resistance
Shall now be overcome

So please say you'll stay
I swear that I'm a good man
It's going to take a little time
If you're waiting on a sign

And if it pleases you, my love
I'll get on my knees
And if you're leaving me, my love
Take this pain away

Please say you'll stay
Please say you'll stay
I swear that I'm a good man
It's just it takes a little time
If you're waiting on a sign

It's going to take a little time
If you're waiting on a sign
It's going to take a little time
If you're waiting on a sign

But I swear that I'm a good man
You know that I'm a good man
Please say you'll stay
Please

14. Lifeline

See this lifeline in chains
Safe resistance restrains
Listless lover of stars
It makes me wonder how far you've come

All you've learnt
You've forgotten
You desperate soul
You're lost again

Can't help feeling betrayed
Nothing's come from the grave
Helpless angel of fate
How much longer to wait?

All you've learnt
You've forgotten
You desperate soul
You're lost again

Don't you see all this time?
Takes away, takes the place of up above
Can't you see light here and it's shining
Look around, I'll be waiting, love

Crushed by lies in the dark
Helped them tear you apart
Listless lover of stars
It makes me wonder how far you've come

All you've learnt
You've forgotten
You desperate soul
You're lost again

Don't you see all this time?
Takes away, takes the place of up above
Can't you see light here and it's shining
Look around, I'll be waiting, love

Don't you see all this time?
Takes away, takes the place of up above
Can't you see light here and it's shining
Look around, I'll be waiting, love

15. Paint It Black

оригинал: The Rolling Stones

I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colours any more, I want them to turn black
And I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a newborn baby, it just happens every day

I look inside myself to see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
And maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up when your whole world is black

No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the setting sun
My love will laugh with me before the morning comes

And I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
And I have to turn my head until my darkness goes

I want to see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I want to see the sun, blotted out from the sky
I want to see it painted, painted, painted black
I want to see it painted, painted, painted black
