1. INTRO

(Instrumental)


2. I RULE THE RUINS

There's a tattooed
Symbol underneath my sleeve
An iron glove over a hand of steel
You can't touch me
Don't touch me

All for one and one for me
Listen well and
I'll set you free
You can trust me
For eternity

No promise
Is honest
In a world of change

I rule the ruins
With passion and pain
I rule the ruins
Sinner or saint
Fortune or fate

Alive and well
In this livin' hell
I survived it all,
Now it's time to tell
Can you hear me
Do you hear me

Once a tattered soul
On bended knees
With one hand to God,
I felt the devil's breeze
I begged help me
Won't you rescue me

One promise dishonest
And everything will change

[Chorus]
There's a tattooed symbol
Underneath my sleeve
Iron glove over a hand of steel
I rule the ruins
I rule the ruins

I rule the ruins
With passion and pain
I rule the ruins
Sinner and saint
I rule the ruins


3. EAST MEETS WEST

Killing time
Watching signs
I'm waitin'
See on the other side of town
I've seen the walls come tumblin' down
So I've come here to make you shake

So get up get up, get up get up
Oh come on, come on,
Come on why don't you come on

[Chorus]
When East meets West
There's gonna be one hell of a mess
When East meets West
There's gonna be one hell of a mess
When East meets West

There's a finger on the trigger of a very troubled mind
Working for the love of Satan
There's no blisters on his fingers
There's no blood on his clothes
But I've seen the world that he's been makin'

So get up, get up, get up, get up
Oh come on, come on, come on, why don't you come on

[Chorus]
When East meets West
There's gonna be one hell of a mess
When East meets West
There's gonna be one hell of a mess
When East meets West

So get up, get up, get up, get up
Oh come on, come on, come on

When East meets West
There's gonna be one hell of a mess
When East meets West
There's gonna be one hell of a mess
When East meets West

When East meets West
There's gonna be one hell of a mess
When East meets West
There's gonna be one hell of a mess
When East meets West


4. METAL TANGO

My hands are in motion
My wheels do not change
My pain I turn into heat
Inside these flames
When time has no meanin'
Where seasons don't change
I dream with the heart of a thief
And I don't feel no shame

There's an island
In my soul
There's desire
Burnin' deep down, down below

Dance demons
Lose control
This is a metal a metal tango
Dance demons
Don't you know
This is a metal a metal tango
This is a metal... tango

The sky is cryin'
The tears fall like rain
The wind it gave me the key
To unlock these chains

There's an island
In my soul
There's desire
Burnin' deep down, down below

Dance demons
Lose control
This is a metal a metal tango
Dance demons
Don't you know
This is a metal a metal tango
This is a metal... tango

There's desire
In my soul
Burnin' deep down, down below

Dance demons
Lose control
This is a metal a metal tango
Dance demons
Don't you know
This is a metal a metal tango
This is a metal... tango

Don't you know
This is a metal tango
This is a metal tango
Don't you know
This is a metal tango


5. SAVE MY SOUL

I was tempted
Like a desperate child
Sent out in the world to taste it

It was colder than steel
Frozen in fields
Emptied by the turning of pages

Falling like stone
Over and over
Falling alone
Hold on hold on

Love, will save my soul someday
Love, will save my soul someday

Take me away
Take me so far away
Love will save my soul someday

I was trusted like a heart of gold
Walked out on this earth to make it
Yea, I'm better than bad
Stronger than sad
Harder than the rock of ages

Fallin' like stones
Over and over
Falling alone
Hold on, hold on

Love, will save my soul someday
Love, will save my soul someday

Take me away
Take me so far away
Love will save my soul someday

Fallin' like stone
Over and over
Falling alone
Hold on, oh hold on

Love, will save my soul someday
Love, will save my soul someday

Take me away
Take me so far away
Love will save my soul

Love, will save my soul someday
Love, will save my soul someday


6. ONLY YOU

Only you... Can possess me
I need your love... Day 'n' night
Only you... Can deliver me
I need your love, I can't deny
And only you... Can deceive me

7. UNHOLY LOVE

You make it so easy
When you're making it rough
You won't make no promises
But you can't get enough
I feel like I'm standing
In the headlight beam
You come on like thunder
I know what this means

It's unholy love
Oh can't you see
This unholy love
You know is killing me, oh !

The sting of confusion
Then a kiss from your lips
You don't make it painless
And you don't make it quick, yeah !

I hold on forever
Till I feel the sweet rush start
Then you're holding me closer
While you're breaking my heart

It's unholy love
Baby can't you see
It's unholy love
So good it's killing me
It's unholy love
Oh can't you see
This unholy love
You know is killing me, oh !

I feel like I'm standing
In the headlight beam, oh
You come on like thunder
I know what this means

It's unholy love, yeah
This unholy love
You know is killing me, oh !
Baby can't you see
This unholy love
Is, said is killing me, oh !


8. HARD TIMES

It's too real to be really right
It's so real it kept me up all night
A broken promise on the street of dreams
Left us here, we're down on our knees
With one shot
And one bite
The walls collapsed with a terrible fright
Minute by minute
Day by day
I feel this place is crumblin' away

Hard times
We gotta break throught these
Hard times yea !
Hard times
Change the face of these
Hard times yea !
Ev'rybody, ev'rywhere

It's easy talkin' when you're talkin' cheap
It's harder walkin' when you're in this deep
There's too much pressure
And there's too much pain
Too many people bein' driven insane
With one shot
And one bite
The world could change from dark to light
Station to nation
Face to face
There must be someway to save this place

Hard times
We gotta break throught these
Hard times yea !
Hard times
Change the face of these
Hard times yea !
Ev'rybody, ev'rywhere

Now fair is fair
Hope needs a lot of care
It's time we all understand
The power in our hands

Hard times
Hard times yea !
Hard times
Hard times

Hard times
We gotta break throught these
Hard times yea !
Hard times
We'll change the face of these
Hard times yea !

Hard times
Hard times
Hard times yea !
Hard times
Hard times
Hard times yea !

10. ALL WE ARE

All we are
All we are, we are
We are all, all we need
All we are
All we are, we are
We are all, all we need

There's beauty in the heart of the beast
Fear behind the eyes of the thief
I know you know we're all incomplete
Let's get together and let's get some relief

[Chorus]

Stronger than a mountain of steel
Faster than hell on wheels
We've got we've got all the power we need
Let's build a playground on this old battelfield

[Chorus]

Now we're stronger
We no longer want you bringin' us down
We've got the magic
So we're gonna spread the magic around yeah !

Now we're stronger
We no longer want you pushin' us

[Chorus] (x2)
All we are
We are all, all we need


11. ROCK ON

I've been here and I've been there
People look at me and stare
They don't know where I come from
Well I've seen this and I've seen that
And I don't care where they're at
My heart's beating like a drum

All I need to save my soul
Is a dose of rock 'n' roll

We're all right
Rock you all night
Hey, rock on
What goes up
Ain't never comin' down
Hey, rock on

I've been up and I've been down
I've been all around this town

I say oh yeah, all right
You better stick with me tonight
We'll go to the promised land

Set me free, can't you see
It's the only way to be ?

We're all right
Rock you all night
Say hey, rock on
I said I'm going up
Ain't never comin' down
Hey, rock on

12. RARE DIAMOND

My heart is ragin', my love is waitin'
To find somebody like you
The world is changin'... 'Cause nothin' means a thing
But I'm still searchin'...
Searchin' for a rare diamond
I've been lookin' for you
Tryin' to find those deep feelings
So I can share 'em with you

And stolen treasures tear me apart
Every word just breaks my heart
Lookin' for love... It's so hard to find
And I'm still searchin'...

Searchin' for a rare diamond
I've been lookin' for you
Tryin' to find those deep feelings
So I can share 'em with you

Ahahahahoh I wanna get to you
Ahahahahah I wanna share it with you !

It's hard to believe it...
When I look in your eyes, I realize, yes I know !
It's hard not to feel it...
I can't break these chains... Don't wanna lose it again... Oh no !

Searchin' for a rare diamond
I've been lookin' for you !
Tryin' to find those deep feelings
So I can share 'em with you ! Ohohoh !


13. I HAD TOO MUCH TO DREAM

Last night your shadow
Fell upon my lonely dream
There's something in the air
I knew it wasn't real
The night was filled with love
The way it used to be
And then your hand reached out
To comfort me
Came the dawn
You were gone
You were gone, gone, gone

I had too much to
Dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night

The room stood still and I
Can feel the words you said
And I still see your image
Racin' through my head
You touched my heart and I
Could feel your tenderness
You seemed so real just when
You held out your hand

Came the dawn
You were gone
You were gone, gone, gone

I had too much to
Dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night !
Had too much to dream !

I had too much to
Dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night
Had too much to dream

I had too much to
Dream last night
Too much to dream
I'm not ready to face the light
I had too much to dream
Last night
Last night, oh !
I had too much to dream
I had too much to dream
Too much, too much,
too much to dream !
O-oh o-oh !
