2. WELCOME

"Halloween Stage shows are a trip, you've got to see one.
Midnight is the witching hour for the children of the night."

Hello...do you believe your eyes, oh no...tonight is not your night
Welcome...fear has got you now, last chance...to get away somehow
This is...what you pay me for, loud and vicious...rock you can't ignore
Yes I've...got plans for all of you on Halloween...we'll scare you too!

Welcome to our dream, welcome to our night
I can make you scream, I can make you bite!
I know you're thinking, ain't we quite a sight?
Why don't you stay, and be our guest tonight...

Are you...afraid of me, now you...scream eternally
Little girl...hiding in the dark, you know...exactly who we are
Now you...come to see the show, welcome...I hope you never go

Welcome to our dream, welcome to our night
I can make you scream, I can make you bite!
I know you're thinking, ain't we quite a sight?
Why don't you stay, and be our guest tonight...

Now you've come here, believing all is well
I've got shocking news for you, we've got fear for sale
Let's get one thing straight, time has come for you to pay
Welcome home, little children, I hope you will stay, welcome!

Oh...hello! I've been waiting here for you, scare you shitless,
is all we want to do
Last chance...to get away alright, welcome to the show tonight
Welcome!!!


3. VICTIMS OF THE NIGHT

"Sometimes the music business and being on the road can suck the
life out of you. It's a double edge sword. It's a life you sometimes
hate to love and love to hate. But you wouldn't trade it for anything.
The fans keep you going."

Can you feel the fire in my veins, there's hunger in my heart
There's a raging battle in my mind, it's almost torn apart
I've got no hesitations, I'd do it all again
This is the life I've chosen, we love to feel the pain of the night

It's time to rock once more, we're victims of the night
On a deadly metal tour

So this is what you wanted, I'm screaming out for you
I love the way you look at me, you know I want you too
The life I lead could break me, could take me under
I know you're out there waiting, for the thunder of the night

And like the thunders roar, we're victims of the night
Coming through your door...(and here we come!!)

Do you know what I'm feeling, does anyone really care
My open wounds are bleeding, for all of you who stare
So now I've come to scare you, tease you, make you need
Feel my empty heart beat, a man destroyed by greed
A victim of the night...

And who knows what's in store, for victims of the night
And I can't take no more...No!
We are victims...we are victims...of the...night


4. NO PLACE

"Dorothy wasn't just whistlin' dixie...(the stage is our home)"

Yesterday, another town, but that's another story
And who knows what tomorrow, may have planned for me
But tonight, I'm standing here, proud and strong
So speed up those long nights, and we'll come home...

There's no place, when I'm far away
I Can't love you, tonight I'm alone
There's no place, I wish I could stay
'Cause I know, there's no place like home

I pack my bags, and start the tour, and head out into the morning
So far away, I miss you babe, now I'm alone and feeling sorry
Yes, tonight, I'll stand alone, on another stage far away
Wishing I could be there with you just like yesterday cause...

There's no place, when it's hurting like this
And I need you, can't stand it alone
There's no place, it's you that I miss when I'm gone
There's no place like home

Now I'm missing you, wanting you
And I know it's not meant to be
Wish I was holding you, I remember, too
The way you were holding me... I'm coming home!

There's no place, when it's hurting like this
And I need you, can't stand it alone
There's no place, it's you that we miss when we're gone
There's no place like...

No place, when I'm far away
I can't love you, tonight I'm alone
There's no place, I wish I could stay
'Cause I know, there's no place like home

There's no place like home (3x)


5. REST IN PIECE

"Sometimes true stories are stranger than fiction,
The "news" can be very inspiring to a songwriter..."

I can see you lying in the ground beyond the gates
I've witnessed violence and I've seen the ones you hate
They cut you, they beat you, raped you into your grave
They let you die and watched you scream, on that bloody day

Rest in piece... just sitting there screaming!
Rest in piece... no, you're not dreaming!
Rest in piece... they cut you all apart!
Rest in piece... ripped out your beating heart

I know the torment and the pain that you must feel
Stuck a knife into your body, a nightmare that is real
When you sleep, you'll never wake, they cut your life away
A corpse inside a body bag, a dead man you will stay

Rest in piece... just sitting there screaming!
Rest in piece... no, you're not dreaming!
Rest in piece... they cut you all apart!
Rest in piece... ripped out your beating heart

Rest in piece... just sitting there screaming!
Rest in piece... no, you're not dreaming!
Rest in piece... they cut you all apart!
Rest in piece... ripped out your beating heart
You die!!!


6. CANDY CAINE

"If only everyone could resist her..."

You think she's pure as snow, she's really cold as ice
She knows things you don't know, cut her once and pay the price
She'll take you over, like no woman before
You can't escape, there is no cure

Candy Caine, is she your lover
You're true to her, no other
She holds you tight, she'll never let you go
Candy Caine, will take control of you

She finds you all alone, no lust, to get you by
Don't worry, she'll play your game, and then she'll make you die
You need her more than ever, give what ever it takes
You've had enough, but you can't escape

Candy Caine, is she your lover
You're true to her, no other
She holds you tight, she'll never let you go
Candy Caine, will take control again
When will it end? When will it end?

No Candy Caine is not my lover
Not true to her or any other
She came to me, and I let her go
Now Candy Caine, will never have control of me

Candy Caine is not my lover
Not true to her or any other
She came to me, and I let her go
Now Candy Caine, will never have control

Candy Caine, it's time to let you go
Candy Caine, just stay away from me
Candy Caine, just get away from me...


7. NIGHTMARE

Don't fall asleep...you never know who'll you meet

You feel it creep inside you, when you're alone at night
It's got you in it's grip, it chills you with it's fright
You wish that you could wake up, you know that this ain't true
This dream that's got you captured, this thing inside of you

Nightmares, inside you, crying out in fear
Danger, will find you, nightmares are here

You can't wake up from this one, it's got you from within
A night of pain and torment, now the horrors can begin
Creatures in the darkness, reach out and hold you back
You can't escape from nightmares you can't stop the attack! No!

Nightmares, inside you, crying out in fear
Danger, will find you, nightmares are here

Nightmares, inside you, crying out in fear
Danger, will find you, nightmares are here

Nightmares, inside you, crying out in fear
Danger, will find you, nightmares are here

9. LOVE 'EM AND LOSE 'EM

Standing here I can see you, wishing that it could be
A secret love together, alone just you and me
But will it ever happen, only time could tell
So say good night and say goodbye and I’ll wish you well…
Something here attracts you, but I’m too blind to know
Everything you’re feeling, I only see what you show
So hold me and touch me and make me scream, then let me go away
Back to a life of emptiness I can’t stand to feel this way

Love ‘em and loose ‘em, it happens all the time

Too scarred to stay, they all run away and leave their tears behind…
Finally you are next to me, time has brought us here
Then tomorrow, you’ll turn away, another victim of fear
Can’t we talk about this, love is all I’ve got to give
Don’t go away I need you today, girl you’ve got to believe

Love ‘em and loose ‘em, it happens all the time

Find me someone who cares, someone who understands
I need someone who dreams, like me I’m just a man
Standing here I can feel you, hating me inside
One night of lust, a lifetime of pain, a part of you has died
But will you ever love me again, only time could say
So say goodnight, say goodbye and go away…

Oh…oh…oh…oh…oh…oh…oh…
Oh…oh…oh…oh…oh…oh…oh…
Oh…oh…oh…oh…oh…oh…oh…


10. CHILDREN OF THE WITCHES

Burn the children of the witches too? (better safe than sorry)
Is that how they did away with evil in the past?

Into the fire, the powers of hatred fall
Evil forces lose control to the master of us all
So to you I've brought a warning, into your hands I lay
The book they call the bible, now on your knees and pray

Children of the witches, must feel the fires burn
It's too late to change their ways, no other way they'll learn

Sinner hear the warning, the time for you is near
No more hatred and suffering, no evil left to fear
The beast is cast into the pit, and locked inside for good
It's written in the prophecies, tonight it's understood

Children of the witches, must feel the fires burn
It's too late to change their ways, no other way they'll learn

Children of the witches, learned the powers that they possess
Lived a life of evil, then in the end confess
They were never satisfied in a world controlled by sin
Asked to be forgiven, and the master lets them in...

Children of the witches
Children of the witches!!!


11. REVELATIONS 23.1 (THE DREAM)

Dreams can really mess with your head. Especially ones that include pages that aren't even there. Will things happen the way we think they will?The way we were told they will? What if they don't? What if they do? Then what? What happens 1001 years later? Does it start all over? Has is already? What if the writer was somebody just like me?...

I'd lost my way, bound in torment, never free
As I laid my head to rest, this is what I dream...
All the past had gone away, and a new world had risen up
From the ruins of yesterday, we once called home...

Where the fires of hell are burning, the beast oils locked away
Earthquakes and famines, cripple their last prey
Sinners scream and lose their fight, dragged down into hell
God has cast them all aside, now they'll learn their lessons well

Can you hear them scream, asking to be forgiven
Burning in the fire, cast out forever...

When the son of the jackal comes, and judgement day arrives
Which side will be on, on which side will we die?
It's not too late to save ourselves, and change the hands of fate
And fight the battle of life itself, before it's too late

Don't be afraid of the light, it can see you free forever
Stand up and fight, happiness should never fade away

Now I raise my head to find, the end is still to come
The things I dreamed will happen? There's no place we can run
We're all sinners, but God we try, to give our lives to you
Forgive us and our brothers, and guide us in what we do

Don't be afraid to stand up and fight
Be proud to believe and be strong
For life can last forever
In your dreams...
In your heart...
In your strong...
