1. Tonight

A tortured life the burden of foresting
Though the light shone the shadows stayed away
In the depth of night the visions seen so clearly
Now the nightmares are a living part of your day

A miracle, no one could ever question
A gallery of predictions engrained in your mind
Was it for real was it illusion
Caught in this world alone

Tonight came after tomorrow
No this isn't a dream what will be it will be

All our lives we search for distant boundaries
The borderline that we have yet to find
On the verge of infinity we always wonder
And in your mind you hold these fragments of time

A miracle, no one could ever question
A gallery of predictions engrained in your mind
Was it for real was it illusion
Caught in this world alone

Tonight came after tomorrow
No this isn't a dream what will be it will be
Tonight came after tomorrow
No this isn't a dream what will be it will be

Are you still wondering, wondering why
There's no turning back the future can never die
Can you see can you see the stars
The final vision now longer far

Tonight came after tomorrow
No this isn't a dream what will be it will be
Tonight came after tomorrow
No this isn't a dream what will be it will be

Tonight there'll be no tomorrow


2. The Escape

Picture book stories films on the screen
Image of what they may have been
Here on the doorstep
That vision is here
War of the worlds the ultimate fear
Time stood still on the verge of midnight
The power is gone there won't be a fight
Cities in ashes the seas run red
Life disappeared though nothing was fight

In the story book you are
In life it's already there
You have walked an empty
road
Never stepped out into the cold

Run away from your fears
Run away rom this life
lie awake in your dreams tonight
Hide away all these years
Hide away in your tears
Live your life in your dreams tonight

People now running run for their lives
Into the hills anywhere they'd hide
Now what's safe all sanctuary gone
Eyes in the sky seek the very last one

Few were spared and taken way
What lay ahead no one could say
Journey that would take us where
Life had gone who would care

Ask yourself if you are dreaming
Wonder what it's all about
We will never see the future
How far that we can go
A race to see what lies beyond

Live your life forget the shadow
Open up your eyes and see the world
Take each day and forget tomorrow
For each one could be the last
No one could ever say, your prayers


3. The Journey Goes on

Can you understand this feeling
Many years this hearts been bleeding
Ohh.... I've players my silent song
Close my eyes but still I feel it
Times in life where I have cheated
Ohh.... Please tell me if I'm wrong

I lie there with the memories of youth
Still I lie, I lie about the truth

I have travelled a lifetime alone
But eh hunger's still strong
Many years I have searched never finding my way
Through the darkness my journey goes on

I can take as much as given
Is a devil's soul forgiven
Ohh.... I tell my story now
In my head these thoughts keep turning
I can feel these tears are burning
Ohh.... Can life still show you how

I lie there with the memories of youth
Still I lie, I lie about the truth

I can see visions of my youth
He can see visions of his youth
Judge me now I seek the truth
Judge him now he's searching for the truth

Closing doors in time
Afraid of what I cannot find
Follow down this road of shame
Was I the only one to blame

Will you see the vital signs
Searching for the perfect crime
See the empty pages now
The sentence where life shows you how.


4. Silent War

The sun that lasted many years
Was now a fading star
The envy of the world has gone
A vision now so far
The tables they have turned around
Those glorious days are gone
A dying breed of heroes
Was the war really ever won

And now that our defence is down
The enemies within
For we can see the future now
This fight we'll never win
A silent war has now begun

Beliefs that lie so far apart
Mixed blood that can't run true
Destruction of ones history
Farewell to this land we knew

And now that our defence is down
The enemies within
For we can see the future now
This fight we'll never win
A silent war has now begun

The Silent war
Will there be peace for evermore
The Silent war
Who would you be fighting for
The Silent war
We may never turn around
The Silent war
On this empty battleground


5. Beast Within

Now you've done all your time
Like good boys you must be kind
Though you've ruined our hearts
Our souls and our minds
Been given a disguise hide behind your curtains of lies
Play hide and seek in the dark of the rest of our lives

The nightmare live on
I still wake believe I'd been dreaming
The hope for that moment now disappears in the dark

Look at the angels
Look in their eyes
Look for the darkness behind the disguise
Closing the doors but the beast is within

But who are the mad that excuse the insane
Open your eyes this isn't a game
Wait for the moment see through the lies
Vengeance be sweet I'll hear your cries

The heart beat I still feel, the face a vision of fear
If only are the words I'll always hear
The hurt that cannot end, kind words are now pretend
Have you been where I've been, I know there's no end

The nightmare live on
I still wake believe I'd been dreaming
The hope for that moment now disappears in the dark

Look at the angels
Look in their eyes
Look for the darkness behind the disguise
Closing the doors but the beast is within

Wheels that keep turning
Years they still burn
Dream when the children omen day will rerun
Closing the doors but the beast lies within


6. Hold on for Love

It's been a long time
I've been waiting here so long
Going out of my mind
Just another years that's come and gone
Ten years gone by
Tell me do you still remember me
That look
Your smile
Memories come back to me

Can't help thinking about what we had
And how we let it go

Hold on for love just when you feel like dying
Hold on for love
Wipe away those tears you're crying now

When you want away
I thought of all the things we had
And day by day
Remembering the good and bad
And Now I know
Never let it go again
This time its right back where we belong aging

Now we're looking at a better life
Thought we'd never see

Hold on for love just when you feel like dying
Hold on for love you will only see
Hold on for love can wipe away
Those tears you're crying
Hold on for love
Take a chance and follow me

And one day you'll be free
See a new horizon
It's where I want to be
This is how it's going to be
This is a new beginning
I need you here with me
You know how much you mean to me
You see we're on our way girl
No one can stop us now
No one can turn it back for me
I feel you body close now
Never felt so good
I never knew how life could be

Hold on for love just when you feel like dying
Hold on for love you will only see
Hold on for love can just when you feel like dying
Hold on for love
I'll be there to set you free


7. If Tomorrow Never Comes

When I walk in your footsteps
Now I see where life it begun
Whispers long forgotten of those playground games
See the brothers hand in hand
As you stare at the shadows
Do you see the childhood memories
Windows into those memories
Like frames of time there have been

Hold on to your dreams
Hold on to our hearts
There is fire in the soul
But the wheels they will not burn
The challenge of belief

There will never e a night I'll be alone
I'll be alone

Did you ask for forgiveness
Knowing not what you had done wrong
From when you bathed in blue waters
Through the depths of your life the voyage not so long

Hold on to your dreams
Hold on to our hearts
There is fire in the soul
But the wheels they will not burn
The challenge of belief

There will never e a night I'll be alone
Side by side we'll walk through fields until the dawn
If tomorrow never comes whats left behind
In this life that gave you sight now leaves you blind

If tomorrow never comes
Whats left behind for us
You're still there forever in our hearts


8. Lost World

We're so alone
We're be ourselves
In space there is such emptiness
Thea earth is nowhere to be seen
But I still hear the cries

Whispers that mystify
Waiting for the train to fall
Wind in your hair
Sunrise at dawn
The sky's a brilliant blue
All emotions now run free
Is it all just a memory
A million miles we've travelled far
Ventured back in time
Where is our world
Where is our soul
We've searched to the end of the line

Running blind
We had no clue
Which year we'd come
We never knew
Now the judgement day
Could we change our destiny
Is there hope for you and me
What fate to come
We already knew
The clock turned back
Could it still be true
Forever lost in time
Alone for eternity
Neverending mystery

A million miles we've travelled far
Ventured back in time
Where is our world
Where is our soul
We've searched to the end of the line


9. The Voice

A challenge too far a world so confusing
Was there in your blood there was no return
A tortured life was always there in your making
But no one could see the emptiness burn

The call of the child the voice of the wild

The call of the child as the memory unfolds
The voice the wild it's your story never told

Was never clear so good at pretending
You died inside before you were born
Now free to go dream who you want to be
Forget who you are your nightmare is gone

The call of the child as the memory unfolds
The voice the wild it's your story never told
All of your hiding
All of your fears
A moment of madness
With your saviour now so near

For tears that never fall
Those tears are saved for hell
There are your memories and they will never die
For years that never came
The vision's still the same
There are your memories and they will never die

10. Naked

Build me a rocket to heaven
Throw me a rope down from the sky
Will I ever be forgiven
If I could only learn to fly
And in these dreams I hear you calling me
I hear you calling my name... I feel the pain

I feel so naked, I'm naked without you
I feel so naked, what more can I do
Stripped of all my virtues and my pride
I feel so naked, without you by my side

Lost in a sea of confusion
So lost and I just can't find my way
I chase the elusive illusion
I know I'll catch up with you some day
Your eyes will always be a mystery
Without you my life's not the same
And in these dreams I hear you constantly
I hear you crying my name... again and again

I feel so naked, I'm naked without you
I feel so naked, what more can I do
Stripped of all my virtues and my pride
I feel so naked, without you by my side
I feel so naked, I'm naked without you
I feel so naked, what more can I do
Stripped of all my virtues and my pride
I feel so naked, without you by my side

(Instrumental)

If a diamond is forever, can't a ruby be as well
We should have been together
But who could ever tell
Are we all Gods creatures on this cold forsaken land
There are many, many preachers
Try to make me understand
You can see the new frontier
Now the must has finally lifted
But your path is still so unclear

Without your ashes there'd be nothing left to hold
And without this memory I'd be left out in the cold
So can anybody out there even begin to understand
Just what it's like to have your won flesh and blood
Ripped right from your hands

Welcome to my nightmare
Welcome to my hell
Welcome to my misery
A story I can tell
Free me from this prison
Free me from this torment
Please free me from this spell
Open up the heavens
Open up your skies
Open up your kingdom you call your paradise
Take away my sorrow
Take the pain away
Take away the sadness
Leave me naked with dreams of yesterday 1. TONIGHT

A tortured life the burden of foresting
Though the light shone the shadows stayed away
In the depth of night the visions seen so clearly
Now the nightmares are a living part of your day

A miracle, no one could ever question
A gallery of predictions engrained in your mind
Was it for real was it illusion
Caught in this world alone

Tonight came after tomorrow
No this isn't a dream what will be it will be

All our lives we search for distant boundaries
The borderline that we have yet to find
On the verge of infinity we always wonder
And in your mind you hold these fragments of time

A miracle, no one could ever question
A gallery of predictions engrained in your mind
Was it for real was it illusion
Caught in this world alone

Tonight came after tomorrow
No this isn't a dream what will be it will be
Tonight came after tomorrow
No this isn't a dream what will be it will be

Are you still wondering, wondering why
There's no turning back the future can never die
Can you see can you see the stars
The final vision now longer far

Tonight came after tomorrow
No this isn't a dream what will be it will be
Tonight came after tomorrow
No this isn't a dream what will be it will be

Tonight there'll be no tomorrow

3. THE JOURNEY GOES ON

Can you understand this feeling
Many years this hearts been bleeding
Ohh.... I've players my silent song
Close my eyes but still I feel it
Times in life where I have cheated
Ohh.... Please tell me if I'm wrong

I lie there with the memories of youth
Still I lie, I lie about the truth

I have travelled a lifetime alone
But eh hunger's still strong
Many years I have searched never finding my way
Through the darkness my journey goes on

I can take as much as given

Ohh.... I tell my story now
In my head these thoughts keep turning
I can feel these tears are burning
Ohh.... Can life still show you how

I lie there with the memories of youth
Still I lie, I lie about the truth

I can see visions of my youth
He can see visions of his youth
Judge me now I seek the truth
Judge him now he's searching for the truth

Closing doors in time
Afraid of what I cannot find
Follow down this road of shame
Was I the only one to blame

Will you see the vital signs
Searching for the perfect crime
See the empty pages now
The sentence where life shows you how.


4. SILENT WAR

The sun that lasted many years
Was now a fading star
The envy of the world has gone
A vision now so far
The tables they have turned around
Those glorious days are gone
A dying breed of heroes
Was the war really ever won

And now that our defence is down
The enemies within
For we can see the future now
This fight we'll never win
A silent war has now begun

Beliefs that lie so far apart
Mixed blood that can't run true
Destruction of ones history
Farewell to this land we knew

And now that our defence is down
The enemies within
For we can see the future now
This fight we'll never win
A silent war has now begun

The Silent war
Will there be peace for evermore
The Silent war
Who would you be fighting for
The Silent war
We may never turn around
The Silent war
On this empty battleground


5. BEAST WITHIN

Now you've done all your time
Like good boys you must be kind
Though you've ruined our hearts
Our souls and our minds
Been given a disguise hide behind your curtains of lies
Play hide and seek in the dark of the rest of our lives

The nightmare live on
I still wake believe I'd been dreaming
The hope for that moment now disappears in the dark

Look at the angels
Look in their eyes
Look for the darkness behind the disguise
Closing the doors but the beast is within

But who are the mad that excuse the insane
Open your eyes this isn't a game
Wait for the moment see through the lies
Vengeance be sweet I'll hear your cries

The heart beat I still feel, the face a vision of fear
If only are the words I'll always hear
The hurt that cannot end, kind words are now pretend
Have you been where I've been, I know there's no end

The nightmare live on
I still wake believe I'd been dreaming
The hope for that moment now disappears in the dark

Look at the angels
Look in their eyes
Look for the darkness behind the disguise
Closing the doors but the beast is within

Wheels that keep turning
Years they still burn
Dream when the children omen day will rerun
Closing the doors but the beast lies within


6. HOLD ON FOR LOVE

It's been a long time
I've been waiting here so long
Going out of my mind
Just another years that's come and gone
Ten years gone by
Tell me do you still remember me
That look
Your smile
Memories come back to me

Can't help thinking about what we had
And how we let it go

Hold on for love just when you feel like dying
Hold on for love
Wipe away those tears you're crying now

When you want away
I thought of all the things we had
And day by day
Remembering the good and bad
And Now I know

Hold on for love you will only see
Hold on for love can wipe away
Those tears you're crying

And one day you'll be free
See a new horizon
It's where I want to be
This is how it's going to be
This is a new beginning
I need you here with me
You know how much you mean to me
You see we're on our way girl
No one can stop us now
No one can turn it back for me

Hold on for love just when you feel like dying
Hold on for love you will only see
Hold on for love can just when you feel like dying
Hold on for love
I'll be there to set you free


7. IF TOMORROW NEVER COMES

When I walk in your footsteps
Now I see where life it begun
Whispers long forgotten of those playground games
See the brothers hand in hand
As you stare at the shadows
Do you see the childhood memories
Windows into those memories
Like frames of time there have been

Hold on to your dreams
Hold on to our hearts
There is fire in the soul
But the wheels they will not burn
The challenge of belief

There will never e a night I'll be alone
I'll be alone

Did you ask for forgiveness
Knowing not what you had done wrong
From when you bathed in blue waters
Through the depths of your life the voyage not so long

Hold on to your dreams
Hold on to our hearts
There is fire in the soul
But the wheels they will not burn
The challenge of belief

There will never e a night I'll be alone
Side by side we'll walk through fields until the dawn
If tomorrow never comes whats left behind
In this life that gave you sight now leaves you blind

If tomorrow never comes
Whats left behind for us
You're still there forever in our hearts


8. LOST WORLD

We're so alone
We're be ourselves

We never knew
Now the judgement day
Could we change our destiny
Is there hope for you and me
What fate to come

The clock turned back
Could it still be true
Forever lost in time
Alone for eternity
Neverending mystery

A million miles we've travelled far
Ventured back in time
Where is our world
Where is our soul
We've searched to the end of the line


9. THE VOICE

A challenge too far a world so confusing
Was there in your blood there was no return
A tortured life was always there in your making
But no one could see the emptiness burn

The call of the child the voice of the wild

The call of the child as the memory unfolds
The voice the wild it's your story never told

Was never clear so good at pretending
You died inside before you were born
Now free to go dream who you want to be
Forget who you are your nightmare is gone

The call of the child as the memory unfolds
The voice the wild it's your story never told
All of your hiding
All of your fears
A moment of madness
With your saviour now so near

For tears that never fall
Those tears are saved for hell
There are your memories and they will never die
For years that never came
The vision's still the same
There are your memories and they will never die


10. NAKED

Build me a rocket to heaven
Throw me a rope down from the sky
Will I ever be forgiven
If I could only learn to fly
And in these dreams I hear you calling me
I hear you calling my name... I feel the pain

I feel so naked, I'm naked without you
I feel so naked, what more can I do
Stripped of all my virtues and my pride
I feel so naked, without you by my side

Lost in a sea of confusion
So lost and I just can't find my way
I chase the elusive illusion
I know I'll catch up with you some day
Your eyes will always be a mystery
Without you my life's not the same
And in these dreams I hear you constantly
I hear you crying my name... again and again

I feel so naked, I'm naked without you
I feel so naked, what more can I do
Stripped of all my virtues and my pride
I feel so naked, without you by my side
I feel so naked, I'm naked without you
I feel so naked, what more can I do
Stripped of all my virtues and my pride
I feel so naked, without you by my side

(Instrumental)

If a diamond is forever, can't a ruby be as well
We should have been together
But who could ever tell
Are we all Gods creatures on this cold forsaken land
There are many, many preachers
Try to make me understand
You can see the new frontier
Now the must has finally lifted
But your path is still so unclear

Without your ashes there'd be nothing left to hold
And without this memory I'd be left out in the cold
So can anybody out there even begin to understand
Just what it's like to have your won flesh and blood
Ripped right from your hands

Welcome to my nightmare
Welcome to my hell
Welcome to my misery
A story I can tell
Free me from this prison
Free me from this torment
Please free me from this spell
Open up the heavens
Open up your skies
Open up your kingdom you call your paradise
Take away my sorrow
Take the pain away
Take away the sadness
Leave me naked with dreams of yesterday
