Lyrics


1. FUTUREAL

I'm running out of my time, I'm running out of breath
And now it's getting, so I can't sleep at night
In the day, feel like death

I'm getting in far too deep, I feel them closing in
I've got to say that I'm scared, I know they'll win
Even so, I'm prepared

Do you believe what you hear
Can you believe what you see
Do you believe what you feel
Can you believe

What is real ?
Futureal
What is real ?

Whenever anyone seems to treat me like a freak
It makes me see I'm the only one who feels
That I know what is real

Sometimes it feels like a game of deadly hide and seek
And when you're reading this, then I will be gone
Maybe then, you will see

Do you believe what you hear
Can you believe what you see
Do you believe what you feel
Can you believe

What is real ?
Futureal
What is real ?
Futureal

Do you believe what you hear
Can you believe what you see
Do you believe what you feel
Can you believe

What is real ?
Futureal
What is real ?
Futureal
What is real ?
Futureal
What is real ?
Futureal


2. THE ANGEL AND THE GAMBLER

Roll of a dice, take a spin of the wheel
Out of your hands now, so how do you feel
But you're not gonna win, you'd better go back again

Do you feel lucky or do you feel scared
Take what luck brings and be devil may care
But you're down on your luck and what will the nest day bring

Adrift on the ocean, afloat in a daydream
Or lost in a maze, or blind in the haze
So what does it matter, so why don't you answer
So why did you send an angel to mend

Best make decisions before it's too late
Take all your chances, take hold the reins
A roll of a dice ahead of the game again

Nothing to lose but so much to gain
A little danger, it goes without saying
But what do you care, you're gonna go in the end

Gate open to Heaven is ready and waiting
Or straight down to Hell, can go there as well
I'll suffer my craving, my soul's not worth saving
So why don't you go, just leave well alone

[Chorus]
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life

[Chorus] (x5)

There's like a hunger that knocks on your door
You've had a taste of it still you want more
You've made your mistakes, won't play it the same again

You have been warned but still you plunge in
You play high stakes but there's nothing to win
You've only one life and so many things to learn

The angel on one side, the devil the other
Which path do you take ? Decisions to make
Arrive at the crossroads, you know where you're going
And what if you wait, it may be too late

[Chorus] (x5)


3. LIGHTNING STRIKES TWICE

I feel the breeze on my face in expectance
Not very long before the storm reaches here
Off in the distance the lightning is flashing again
Feel something strong as the power draws near

Is it the rolling of thunder that scares you
Is it the crashing of clouds that hold fear
But all I know as I sit in a corner alone
It takes me back to my childhood again

And as I wait and I look for an answer
To all the things going round in my head
I ask myself could it be a disaster and when
It's maybe threatening to happen again

As the ominous light draws near
There's a lone dog howls in the park
All the people hurry inside
As a lightning flash lights dark
The storm is nearly here
Only God will know

You're sitting alone, you watch
As the wind is blowing treetops
And the swaying rustling of leaves
Plenty of time to perceive
As you wait for rain to fall

Only God knows, the whole sky glows
Maybe lightning strikes twice, maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice, maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice, maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice, maybe lightning strikes twice

Only God knows, the whole sky glows
Maybe lightning strikes twice, maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice, maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice, maybe lightning strikes twice
Maybe lightning strikes twice, maybe lightning strikes twice
