1. TIME IS MY ENEMY

Always searching but never finding,
easy answers wandering free.
The mirror shows what I've become,
empty eyes stare back at me.
The path is narrow and I keep asking,
is this fate or destiny?
Stealing minutes and wasting daylight,
desperate souls cry out to me.

Time is my enemy, always taking life from me.
Another day has come and gone, wondering what I've done wrong.
Time is my enemy, always taking life from me.
Getting tired, fading fast, don't know how long I can last.

Always dreaming but never living,
phantoms mock me and run away.
The clock is ticking but my feet aren't moving,
I'm busy wishing for another day.
Today is failing, I've lost again,
this vicious circle is here to stay.
The past is haunting, the future's calling.
Someone help me find my way.

Time is my enemy, always taking life from me.
Another day has come and gone, wondering what I've done wrong.
Time is my enemy, always taking life from me.
Getting tired, fading fast, don't know how long I can last.


2. REMEMBER ME

Silent I watch as the earth fades away.
All my decisions led up to this day.
Too late for me to change all my mistakes.
Only one chance for the choices I make.

My time has come.....what have I done?
My time has come.....what have I done?

Death calls my name.
Life holds the key.
End of all pain.
Souls are set free.

Will you remember me now that I'm gone?
Was your life better when I came along?
I'll visit your dreams if you show me the way.
You're never alone if you ask me to stay.

My time has come.....what have I done?
My time has come.....what have I done?

Death calls my name.
Life holds the key.
End of all pain.
Souls are set free.


3. MR. HYDE

They laugh at you, they're all the same.
Soon you'll make them fear your name.
Dr. Jekyll it's not too late.
Leave behind your lust for hate.

Human form too weak for you?
Wake the beast with your wicked brew.
Drink your potion and watch them run.
Mr. Hyde what have you done?

They scorn what they don't understand.
You'll change the world with your bare hands.
Feed your anger, it takes control.
Don't let the rage consume your soul.

Human form too weak for you?
Wake the beast with your wicked brew.
Drink your potion and watch them run.
Mr. Hyde what have you done?


4. DRAGON

Waiting for me to be alone, he calls out my name.
I've heard it before, it's nothing new, his tricks are all the same.
A promise of treasure, jewels and gold, if I follow him.
Empty words from a lying tongue, to lead me to my end.

Glowing red and coming near, dragon eyes fill me with fear.
Razor claws scraping stone, closer now where will I run?
Breath of fire doom of men, searing flames scorching my skin.
Hungry for flesh ready to feast, I'm alone fighting the beast.

Earthly child in mortal danger, there's no place to run.
Night and day he'll hunt you down, and crush your bones for fun.
Your hands are shaking, heart is pounding, time to stand and fight.
Resist the devil, he'll flee from you, escape the dragon's bite.

Glowing red and coming near, dragon eyes fill me with fear.
Razor claws scraping stone, closer now where will I run?
Breath of fire doom of men, searing flames scorching my skin.
Hungry for flesh ready to feast, I'm alone fighting the beast.


5. WAR FOR SOULS

I see fear in your eyes, it comes as no surprise, you believed all the lies.
Blinded by all your greed, taking more than you need, watching while others bleed.

We're caught between, the two unseens.
Battles raging, all around.
The clash of swords, unheard by men.
Fearsome warriors, stand their ground.
A fight for right, a war for souls.
Who claims victory, in the end?

Take a look deep inside, let the Truth break your pride, I'll be here by your side.
Darkness will try to win, keep fighting don't give in, you have the strength within.

We're caught between, the two unseens.
Battles raging, all around.
The clash of swords, unheard by men.
Fearsome warriors, stand their ground.
A fight for right, a war for souls.
Who claims victory, in the end?


6. INVISIBLE

I'm a ghost among the living,
wishing you could see my face.
Without a voice I'm barely breathing,
so afraid I'll fade away.

Disappear without a trace,
no one seems to notice.

Look for me.
Hear my call.
Can't you see?
I'm invisible.

Say your name, you look right through me.
Touch your hand, you turn away.
A faded dream can't make me happy.
Promised love can't make me stay.

Disappear without a trace,
no one seems to notice.

Look for me.
Hear my call.
Can't you see?
I'm invisible.


7. GREEN-EYED MONSTER

I wanted us to be friends, I'm the fool.
You acted like you cared for me, you're so cruel.
Thought you shared my hopes and dreams, I was blind.
Trying to make you happy, was a waste of time.

Envy has poisoned you.
Envy has poisoned you.

You're the green-eyed monster, why do you hate me?
You're the green-eyed monster, never going to break me.

(whisper).....green-eyed monster......green-eyed monster

You always despised me, I never knew.
All your smiles hiding lies, what could I do?
Why are you so angry, what's to gain?
You are your worst enemy, no one else to blame.

Envy has poisoned you.
Envy has poisoned you.

You're the green-eyed monster, why do you hate me?
You're the green-eyed monster, never going to break me.


8. FOOLED AGAIN

Troubled times that you put me through.
You're not the friend I thought I knew.
Your clever words were never true.
I'm tired of doing what you want me to.
You told me lies that I believed.
You've been the source of all my grief.
I put you first, you never thought of me.
Watching you leave will be such relief.

Fooled again, it's all the same.
You say one thing and do another.
Fooled again, don't you feel my pain?
I stood by you but you never cared.
Fooled again, as you walk away.
Fooled again, for the very last time.

Endless times that I trusted you.
You were hiding secrets that I never knew.
I called you friend, didn't have a clue.
Played for a fool, what do you have to prove?
Every action has a price to pay.
Every spoken word you had to say,
continued to push me away.
It's over now, there's no other way.

Fooled again, it's all the same.
You say one thing and do another.
Fooled again, don't you feel my pain?
I stood by you but you never cared.
Fooled again, as you walk away.
Fooled again, for the very last time.


9. WAITING FOR WINGS

All my bones rest beneath the earth.
Wilted flowers lay at my feet.
Concrete angel standing guard.
Death sings to me, "sleep child sleep".

Remember me.
Love goes on.
I'll wait for you.
It won't be long.

Remember me.
Love goes on.
I'll wait for you.
It won't be long.

Sleep child sleep.
Sleep child sleep.
Sleep child sleep.

I join the dead in a midnight dance.
Graceful ghosts in the pale moonlight.
Waiting for wings to set us free.
Restless souls for one more night.

Remember me.
Love goes on.
I'll wait for you.
It won't be long.

Remember me.
Love goes on.
I'll wait for you.
It won't be long.

Sleep child sleep.
Sleep child sleep.
Sleep child sleep.


10. GET OUT OF MY WAY

I'm so tired of waiting for you to be OK.
You have no ambition to seize the day.
Always dragging your feet no matter what I say.
Step back, I'm coming thru, get out of my way.

Get out of my way.
Get out of my way.

You're not going to slow me down.
Finally ready to live my life.
I'm not listening any more.
To those that want to keep me down.

Time is much too short, life is passing me by.
Your endless excuses, just won't fly.
You still live in the past, no thought for today.
Step back, I'm coming thru, get out of my way.

Get out of my way. Get out of my way.

You're not going to slow me down.
Finally ready to live my life.
I'm not listening any more.
To those that want to keep me down.


11. DARK MYSTERY

All alone I'm walking in my sleep.
Ghostly shadows follow me.
Thoughts of running cross my mind.
I know I'm dreaming, but I want to hide.
My dark emotions have come to life.
Tormenting me in the dead of night.
Anger cuts me and Envy hates.
Another nightmare I can't escape.

Run little girl, they're coming for you.
Run little girl, run little girl.
Run little girl, they're coming for you.
Run little girl, run little girl.

Doubt and fear are always near, hunting me, chasing me.
Cloud my mind and steal my soul,
Got to find a way to gain control.
Doubt and fear are always near, hunting me, chasing me.
Cloud my mind and steal my soul,
Got to find a way to gain control.

Lost again, no place to run.
Where are these enemies coming from?
I try to scream, I cannot breathe.
Hateful eyes are watching me.
I can't explain this dark mystery.
My secret thoughts are hurting me.
The morning light chases all away.
I live to fight for another day.

Run little girl, they're coming for you.
Run little girl, run little girl.
Run little girl, they're coming for you.
Run little girl, run little girl.

Doubt and fear are always near, hunting me, chasing me.
Cloud my mind and steal my soul,
Got to find a way to gain control.
Doubt and fear are always near, hunting me, chasing me.
Cloud my mind and steal my soul,
Got to find a way to gain control.


12. LOVE IS FOREVER

So many days have gone by, when will I see you again?
I look at the stars every night,
Wonder if you're doing the same.
Time standing still as I wait,
How long will we have to be apart?
Duty called. You did not hesitate.
I'm missing you with all my heart.

Love is forever my dear.
No matter how far away we are.
Our hearts are beating as one.
Two restless souls endure the pain.
Whisper your name in the dark.
Longing to see your face again.

Battles are raging all around,
I fear for you all night and day.
Please come back home safe and sound,
I pray for angels to guard your way.
So much danger everywhere, will we be together again?
Sweet memories are all I have,
Until the day that you return.

Love is forever my dear.
No matter how far away we are.
Our hearts are beating as one.
Two restless souls endure the pain.
Whisper your name in the dark.
Longing to see your face again.

Love is forever.
Love is forever.

Love is forever my dear.
No matter how far away we are.
Our hearts are beating as one.
Two restless souls endure the pain.
Whisper your name in the dark.
Longing to see your face again.


13. LIFE GOES ON

Every day's the same,
as the one before.
Never satisfied,
always wanting more.

Life's not a game.
No second chance.

Life goes on,
must be strong.
Life goes on,
I belong.

Look for true meaning,
endless days go by.
Make your life matter,
no time for living lies.

Life's not a game.
No second chance.

Life goes on,
must be strong.
Life goes on,
I belong.


14. TRUTH AND LIES

I thought I'd found a friend in you.
You held my hand and talked me through.
All of my faults and sins revealed.
All of my fears and doubts concealed.
You were the one to guide my way.
Said anything to make me stay.

I begged for you to draw the line.
Hiding in darkness all of the time.
I've lost my way, I feel so alone.
I only want to know I belong.

I see you, for what you are.
You tell me, all I want to hear.
You deceive me, you've gone too far.
I know you, it's all so clear.

The time has come for me to choose.
There's nothing left for me to lose.
I need the truth to break my pride.
Full of myself, empty inside.
I needed you to make me whole.
Another lost and tortured soul.

I begged for you to draw the line.
Hiding in darkness all of the time.
I've lost my way, I feel so alone.
I only want to know I belong.

I see you, for what you are.
You tell me, all I want to hear.
You deceive me, you've gone too far.
I know you, it's all so clear.

I begged for you to draw the line.
Hiding in darkness all of the time.
I've lost my way, I feel so alone.
I only want to know I belong.

I see you, for what you are.
You tell me, all I want to hear.
You deceive me, you've gone too far.
I know you, it's all so clear.
