1. FIREFALL

Full moon is rising
Behind darkened clouds
Shattering our fear doe what is there
Will the purpose here be real
Predicted so long ago
Screaming out it's anger for what I don't know

The prophets foreseen a child, would come for the
Final day
I predicted firefall, now where do we go

Firefall
Your afraid of the lightm of fear inside you
Firefall
Existence unknown, the firefall

The world is shimmering
Thunder above the ground
This long forgotten parchment tells us what we see
No sign of pain
Though humanity reads the dark
No sign of the sun but this light shining bright

The prophets foreseen a child, would come for the
Final day
I predicted firefall, now where do we go

Firefall
Your afraid of the lightm of fear inside you
Firefall
Existence unknown, the firefall

The prophets foreseen a child, would come for the
Final day
I predicted firefall, now where do we go

Firefall
Your afraid of the lightm of fear inside you
Firefall
Existence unknown, the firefall

Firefall
Your afraid of the lightm of fear inside you
Firefall
Existence unknown, the firefall


2. MISTREATED EYES

It really was some party we went to last night
I made her go a dare
She really shocked me when the music roared on
Through the night
The child was running away

And as we got closer I realized, she tried to fool me
With her eyes

Mistreated Eyes
They had suffered through time, stared through
What was done
Her eyes hide away from reality
Mistreated Eyes
I'm gonna do my best, see her eyes go start it all
Over again

Seems like you've got a crazy notion, it's right out of
Her head
To face her life like it is
But while this can't be the day, the night's come
Around
It will break you down

It's time for her to realize she can't go all night
Mesmerized

Mistreated Eyes
They had suffered through time, stared through
What was done
Her eyes hide away from reality
Mistreated Eyes
I'm gonna do my best, see her eyes go start it all
Over again

Mistreated Eyes
They had suffered through time, stared through
What was done
Her eyes hide away from reality
Mistreated Eyes
I'm gonna do my best, see her eyes go start it all
Over again


3. DON'T GO

So many planets we're on
Looking back to what we've done
Too tired to argue, to tired to fight
You don't understand me
What I have become
Our love is replaced by sleepless nights

You won't go on me, see I've become so great
I love you all the same, don't leave me alone

Don't go
I don't want you to leave me
Don't go
Please stay
Your pushing over the line

We had a good thing going
An open road no mountains to climb
We left our problems behind our backs
Now I'm riding the storm out
Through it really hurts inside
No words can express the way I feel

If you can give me time to show just how I feel
I know you'll stay beside me forever and all

Don't go
I don't want you to leave me
Don't go
Please stay
Your pushing over the line

If you can give me time to show just how I feel
I know you'll stay beside me forever and all

Don't go
I don't want you to leave me
Don't go
Please stay
Your pushing over the line

Don't go
I don't want you to leave me
Don't go
Please stay
Your pushing over the line


4. WOMAN IN WHITE

She likes to be seen in the middle
She likes when a party gets hot
Everybody thinks she's a sinner
And everybody likes her a lot

She give the men what they want
But sometimes they get too much
She's always looking for more
Satisfaction is all that she needs

She is the woman in white
Always comes and steals the light
She is the woman in white
Always comes out in the night

Travels all over the world
Just to find what she's looking for
Stays for one night at a time
Hoping to make a score

Don't turn her down 'cause you'll lose
'Cause she always gets what she wants
She's a breaker,
And makes her own rules
No charity's left there for fools

She is the woman in white
Always comes and steals the light
She is the woman in white
Always comes out in the night


5. AIRBORNE FIGHTER

You fight the assault when you open your eyes
Was it black or white in the sky
You give the order, you drop behind enemy lines
The dark surrounding yourself and your men
They're not here to play games
You'll make an honest mistake, or your beyond dead

Coming down in the night
The airbourne fighter

Your here on a mission sent by your land
Sent to prevent a disaster
All your men and yourself volunteered
Ahere's no turning back
You blow up, you tear down
Brave men with a tiny eraser
Trained to kill and destroy, an airbourne soldier

Coming down in the night, saving lives my goal
The airbourne fighter

The airbourne fighter is not afraid to lose his life
He has no relatives to cry
He's wearing a shooting gun
A result of friends who's wings have past
For he won't be allowed to wear a heroes end
A heroes end

Feel the heat when you fire with your gun
Hear the end of his cries
Destiny turns out to be cruel
God have no mercy on your soul

Coming down in the night, saving lives is my goal
The airbourne fighter


6. THE TOWER

So many miles through the unknown forests
Side by side through wind and rain
Desperate thoughts and fear in their eyes
They didn't really want to go
The tales and the stories were spread around
Well known to every man
Fools-they kept trying
Lord knows they kept dying
By the tower walls

The tower was strong and the enemies few
For the glory they tried
For the glory they died
The tower

No mercy was given, no feelings showed
The human tracks along the wall
Screams of anger, blood and tears
Echoes from the underground
Despite the losses despite the fear
They gathered for one last attack
Fools-they kept trying
Lord knows they kept dying
By the tower walls

The tower was strong and the enemies few
For the glory they tried
For the glory they died
The tower

What was the price of the glory
Now it seems so far away
No more blood will be spilled there
But the memories remain
The tower


7. POWER GAMES

Fooled again by the same old song
Every day a new game is played
Start to wonder everybody wonders
What fool's gonna kill us one day
Wake up. You say you don't worry
The drugs won't keep you alive
Love it or leave it. Anyway you want it
Can't you see you're a victim of circumstance

A human brain will fail again
And then we all will receive
The products of a modern society
We've only got ourselves to blame
Wake up. You know that you're dreaming
The drugs won't keep you alive
Love it or leave it. One day you'll receive it
Bang, bang, you're dead

Power games: Pushed to the limit
Power games: Built to destroy
Power games: Ashes to ashes
Power games: Dust to dust

Wake up. You say you don't worry
The drugs won't keep you alive
Love it or leave it. Anyway you want it
Well, it's up to you now

Power games: Pushed to the limit
Power games: Built to destroy
Power games: Ashes to ashes
Power games: Dust to dust
Power games: Played to the limit
Power games: Out of control
Power games: If there's no way to stop it
Power games: We've only got ourselves to blame


8. ELECTRIC MESSENGER

Ol’ mama was astonished
The air was cold and damp
The men outside her window
Were no ordinary tramps
They stopped upon the highway
Their heads fell to the ground
The house ol’ mama lived in,
Just barely stood the sound

Ol’ mama thought her life was over
What she had seen was so unreal
She closed her eyes and thought
“I’m getting older”
She didn’t know they’d just begun

The radio was silent
The sheriff just left town
A shadow in the doorway
Not a human soul around
Neighbour Nellie had a runway
Couldn’t stand the main attraction
Ol’ mama kicked the shadow out
And headed for the action

She ran out and said “Now it’s over”
You’ve been too long in this unknown land
Then she found out they were rock’n rollers
Now she knew they’d just begun

She loves 'em, needs 'em – electric messengers
Listen to the barrier of sound
Sparkling power - electric messengers
The pressure wave will life you from the ground

Ol’ mama loved the way they sounded
Äcause what she heard was so unreal
She closed her eyes and thought
“I’m getting younger”
And she knew they’d just begun


9. MIND OVER MUSCLE

Throughout the nation with whips and chains
Success with wicked minds
No point in saying what’s right or wrong
Action speaks louder than words
They buy your soul with dirty deeds
They try to lock your minds
Spread the word, tell ‘em in the backyard
We’ve crossed the worlds to send ‘em back
Down to where they came from
Action in the night

Mind over muscle
Take a breath and scream it out
Mind over muscle
Hey

Subway battles, with flashing knives
The thrill of the game
Mass confusion, so hypnotizing
The thrill of the money
When the whistle blows through burning skies
Try to put a stop to killing lies
It was written back in the early days
Aliens landed just to say
Action every day

Mind over muscle
Take a breath and scream it out
Mind over muscle
Hey


10. WHITER THAN WHITE

Man, I don’t need your statistics,
Your care or your concern
Where your jungle lies
Promises, promises. “To live or to burn”
Is strange advice

Your dice are rolling, you’ve placed your bet
You lost control over your own life
So your living on the edge of the knife
Croupiers don’t forget

Whiter than white - Pure insanity
What’s the matter with you
Those hollow needles cut your life in two

Death all around you, why don’t you react
When you’re standing so close to the flame
Do you remember when you were intact
And the songs that we sand were the same

The dice are rolling with you inside
The vultures are ready to take a bite
On the final turn of the stairway you might
Think of your pride

Whiter than white - Pure insanity
What’s the matter with you
Those hollow needles cut your life in two
