CD 1

1. Misery Loves Company

My baby's gone and I'm the lonely one
On top of that, it's looks like I'm going bald

My friends are two faced, and my money's gone
I got a ticket when my car broke down
A rainy day, now, what else could go wrong?

[Bridge1:]
Now who's the judge?
What is my crime?
Ain't no sentences, but I'm still doing time.

[Chorus:]
Cuz misery
misery loves company
Cuz misery, Misery
Misery loves company

Cold and angry like a dog on the street
I get raw deal, everyone I meet
All I want is someone lovin' and a little respect,
that's all

The poor get nothing while the rich get fat
Start living good, the I.R.S. takes that
I kinda wonder if there's so really any good
at all, at all

[Bridge2]

So what is like to have a smile?
I'd like to have one, but it's not my style.


2. All's Fair In Love & War

I'm not the kind of man
Who lets a woman tell me
Just what I can and cannot do.

She came prepared for battle
And all I had to say was
"I'd like to spend some time with you."

[Bridge:]
Comin' on shy but I don't know why
Sure knows what to do
Bitch gonna stab you in the back
While she makes love to you

[Chorus:]
All's Fair in Love and War
So what are we fighting for
All's Fair in Love and War

No one to blame but yourself
There's no more lies left to tell
You know I've heard that song before

Now you're too scared to face me
Afraid of what you may see
How all is fair in love and war.

[Bridge - chorus - solo]

And when the battle's over
You'll find another love
I'll be another casualty.

[Bridge - chorus]
[Repeat]


3. Innocence

Cool, cool, Innocence
Like an angel blowing kisses from the sky
Cool, cool, Innocence
In a way that takes my breath away, no lie
Pure and white as the driven snow
It's a sin, I know

Cool, cool, Innocence
Like an answered prayer, put my thoughts to shame
Cool, cool, Innocence
Virgin, untouched animal you can never tame
Can't believe my lyin' eyes
No matter how I try

Beauty, surround me, release me, astound me
Innocence, Decadence, Innocence
Breaks me down.

Cool, cool, Innocence
I can taste the sweet surrender on her lips
Cold, hard, Decadence
She's a lonely face that launched a thousand ships

Pure and white as the driven snow
Well, she don't know

The wicked ways of the world have not found her
Young, restless heart, blind to darkness
Around her

Cool, cool, Innocence,
Cool, cool, Innocence,
Cool, cool, Innocence.


4. The World Stopped Turning

I watched you bathing in the moonlight
I heard you crying in the wind
Oh, every day is just another symphony
Of angels singing praises in your name
Look up, can't you hear them calling

It wasn't very long ago
That you and I believed in the same things
And now it seems, you've put our love behind you
And turned away before you understood
You can run, but you can't hide

[Chorus:]
Can't you see I'm falling down
Thanks to things I never knew
Don't you know I'm tryin' hard
To take this love from you

Oh, the skies are falling
And the seas are drying
Oh, oh, can it be?
The world stopped turning on me

Well, I see you still but that's just fantasy
I hear you call to someone else
Oh, gazing at a distant cold reflection
And crystal lakes of tears I cried for you
Trying to keep this hope alive

[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]
[Repeat]


5. Letters In The Rain

As I looked into the stormy night
The scheme of all things came to be
The fire weapon started burning
Your cheating ways I came to see

Cause when the moonlight hit the water
I've had your sweet lips on my brain
Then I found the truth in writing
I read your Letters In The Rain
In the rain

Now I spend my nights in firelight
I look into the flames for hope
The rain it brings back all the memories
Then in the winter turns to snow

Cause when the moonlight hit the water
I've had your sweet lips on my brain
Then I found the truth in writing
I read your Letters In The Rain
In the rain

Now you come back with this story
Of how you made a big mistake
Do you expect me to believe you
Too bad I won't give you a break
Not this time

Cause when the moonlight hit the water
I've had your sweet lips on my brain
Then I found the truth in writing
I read your Letters In The Rain
In the rain In the rain In the rain


6. Waiting In The Dark

Somewhere in my mind
Is the fear of growing old
Deep inside my heart
The warmth has turned to cold
My tired eyes, slipping away
Tired life

[Chorus:]
Waiting in the dark
To take his shot at me
Father time's a cruel man
Will I resurrect
Or will I even know
Sorrow is the master plan

Lie in bed at night
Will there be another day
Body aches in pain
Things they don't seem quite the same

Nobody cares, No one to share
Tired life

[Chorus:]
Waiting in the dark
To take his shot at me
Father time's a cruel man
Will I resurrect
Or will I even know
Sorrow is the master plan


7. Deepfreeze

Time and time again
I need reminding of where I've been
Helplessly scared, left so alone,
This time I'll make a journey on my own
Don't stop me now, as this begins
I fell a brave and new awakening

Yet life goes on
But I'll be gone
A brand new life awaits me
The setting sun time as begun
I've settled down, so take my

Mind, slipping in a deepfreeze
Blind, Living with an uneased mind,
Doing what I dawn please time and again
Sin, Looking at the shit that I'm in,
Smiling with a Cheshire cat grin.
Floating in a Deepfreeze

Upon your lap I rest my head,
I thank my lucky stars that I'm not dead yet,
The fields of green, the mountainsides,
I fly beyond them and there's a sea of sorrow,
Guide me to my rest
And in my deepfreeze I am possessed,

But life goes on
Embrace the dawn
A brand new song awaits you
Control your fear but keep it near
I'm melting down so take

Mind, slipping in a deepfreeze
Blind, Living with an uneased mind,
Doing what I dawn please time and again
Sin, Looking at the shit that I'm in,
Smiling with a Cheshire cat grin.
Ashamed of the places I've seen and I've been
Mind, Slipping in a Deepfreeze
Blind, Living in a deepfreeze

Time to go away
Escape confusion and disarray,
I found a peace, tranquillity
My newborn love, my secret mystery,
My soul lives on, beyond the skies,
My questions answered I say good-bye


8. Pullin' The Rats Out



9. Ghost Of Winter

As I lie awake
All the memories of my life
Seem to come and fade
Wakes me in the dead of night
Am I slipping away?
Is my memory leaving me?
When it's cold and dark,
Ghost of winter comes to me

Look at me
I'm eternal thought
It's a shame but we must part
It's just a dream
It's just a dream

Dreams that seem so real
Granny tells me it's o.k.
Won't you cry to sleep
You'll wake up to a brand new day

Tears to wake the dead
Tell them it's not all in vain
Since the dawn of man
Think how many felt the rain

It's far from what you know
But now I have to go
It's just a dream
It's just a dream

In the world, darkness follows me
Hiding out, in places I can't fee
I'll tell you one thing
I'll never change my ways
Fly high
I can't distinguish reality from dreams
Ghost of winter, won't you hear my silent scream?

Ghost of winter, won't you hear my silent scream?
Ghost of winter, return me to my dream

[Repeat]

You've showed me one thing
I've never, ever seen
So take me back there
I've got to have my dream

Oh, Ghost of Winter
Hear my silent scream
Fly high


10. Fools Paradise

You say your happy, with your ways
But anyone who's ever known you knows that you've seen better days
So here's a lesson, to be learned
In a mirror, disillusioned, images you cannot turn

In a Fools Paradise
Will you ever realize
In a Fools Paradise
Oh...Oh

Another step in, the wrong direction
Never to return again, misery can be your friend
In your wasted dreams, nothings what it seems
Take a look at what you've done, cowards only shoot and run

In a Fools Paradise
Will you ever realize
In a Fools Paradise
It's all gonna come to an end

You think you're happy, maybe just too high
All you love's been lost in dreams and don't you ever wonder why
Tomorrow's history, anyway do you care
You can run forever but your getting nowhere

In a Fools Paradise
Will you ever realize
In a Fools Paradise
Oh ... Oh
In a Fools Paradise
Will you ever open your eyes
In a Fools Paradise
It's all gonna come to an end


CD 2

1. Crucified

Come a little closer with your
thoughts of an insurrection,
A little black mark in the book of your life
could bring a change of your affection,
Got an one track mind, it's a sign of the times,
find a whole new revelation,
Prime time, any time, pay the bailiff for your crime,
Don't lose your concentration,

No, No,No, I don't want to be crucified

Got a heavy cross to bear when there's salt in your lacerations
At least when I die I can look 'em in the eye,
see them off to eternel damnation,
See the bloodstained curtains in the temple of love
Where the true is a state of your mind,
Kneel down, kiss the ground,
better never make a sound
How can they see when they're so damn blind ?

[Chorus:]
Can you believe in something
Not fit for their consumption ?
Hold on strong to the end
Use the force in the back of your mind
I can't accept what they say
I choose to go my own way
I don't want to be crucified

Flying high, sanctify, living a lie
by the hand of intoxication,
Under attack, see the scars on my back,
think it's time for a needed vacation

No, No,No, I don't want to be crucified


2. Nobody Knows

Nobody knows when there's cloud in the skies
When there are tears in your eyes
Nobody knows when you're hurting so bad
So if they had ?

Far away, where the hills turn to plains
I sit and I wonder where you are
I dream at night of the memories that we share
I feel your touch, I see your stare

[Chorus:]
Nobody knows when you're down and out
Nobody cares what it's all about
When it comes to you, babe
You know I'll always be there
It just seems,
Nobody knows when you're down and out

Silent words, a whispered song
Will you still love me when I'm gone ?
Now, nobody knows what you really matters
Only fools who don't belong

[Chorus:]
Nobody knows when you're down and out
Nobody cares what it's all about
When it comes to you, babe
You know I'll always be there
It just seems,
Nobody knows when you're down and out

And in my dreams, it never seems that
Nobody knows


3. Sign Of The Times

Cast your worries to the seas,
You can do just what you please,
Don't you know that happyness is free,
Disguised to hide the reasons,
We believe just what we see.

It's time to look beyond the real,
While you create the life you feel,
Everybody needs their time,
Scaling mountains they can't climb,
Falling down to their knees.

[Chorus:]
It's a sign of the times
Do you want to be
Just a sign of the times
It's the end of the line
Such a tragedy
It's a sign of the times

Shooting stars light up the sky
We march on prrepared to die
I won't let them take my sense of pride, no,
Safe beneath the shelter,
But your face you cannot hide

It's time that people realize
What stares them right between their eyes
Everybody's wasting time,
Trying to make the world all rhyme,
It's so easy to see

[Chorus:]
It's a sign of the times
Do you want to be
Just a sign of the times
It's the end of the line
Your animosity
It's a sign of the times
Don't you feel it ?
It's a sign of the times


4. Mercy

I can't seem to find the words to say the things I want to
Say to you, I must be burnin' out.
One night, a long, long time ago,
My mother told me I should go to you,
With all my thoughts and dreams.

Please, please tell me,
What you gonna do, when every princess comes to you singin'?

Lord have mercy, mercy on my soul,
Please have mercy, salvation for my soul.

It's just that I can't justify
How you can let them do the things they do.
Well, I'd let them have it good.

They laugh and totally forget,
That all creation is because of you,
How do you do such things?

Please, please tell me,
What you gonna do when all the losers cling to you, singin'?

Lord have mercy, mercy on my soul,
Please have mercy, salvation and some mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy on my soul.

Lord have mercy, mercy on my soul,
Please have mercy, salvation for my soul.
Lord have mercy, mercy on my soul,
Please have mercy, salvation and some mercy, mercy, mercy,
Mercy on my soul.


5. Show A Little Love

You can't ride upon the wings
Of all your broken dreams
Someday you've got to give it up

In between the lines you'll see
I'm giving you a sign
Your attitude is just too tough

You don't know what I want all night
Why don't you make your dreams come true
I'll show you how
Here's what you do

[Chorus:]
Show a little love
Give a little love
All I want from you is one thing
Show your love to me

Look up to the skies
I see desire in your eyes
But you can't keep it in your heart
Let's take the night and
Then we'll sleep by candle light
While flames of love are burning
In the dark.

You tell me you love me, oh no
Now I can't tell the lies from truth
So prove me wrong
Here's what you can do

[Chorus]
[Solo]
[Chorus]


6. Voices In My Walls

Where not here to hurt you, the voices told me,
then they laughed away.
Sit, relax, stay calm Now they control me
they rule my day

[bridge:]
Everybody needs someone to talk to
With a fire and a body that can touch you,
Even now I think I need somebody,
Don't think that I could ever have my time alone

[Chorus:]
'Cause I'm a captive soul,
To the voices of my walls

Fear has settled in, my room commands me,
Keeps me warm inside,
Sleep exists no more, a living zombie
I'm mystified.

[bridge:]

'Cause I'm a captive soul,
Listen in wonder, the secret I've been told
By the voices in my walls

"Come with us give us control,
and we'll possess your heart and soul,
You'll see new colours you can't describe,
and feel strange things you've never tried.

Candelight for me, a fading sunset,
Take me away

I'm a captive soul
Living in wonder the secrets I've been told
By the voices in my walls
You gotta believe me
The secrets amaze and confuse me with no self-control
The voices are calling me now
I'm a captive soul


7. The Day I Met You

Do you remember when our lives were so complete ?
Long cold Decembers, so bitter sweet,

[Chorus:]
But if you could set aside one day,
That I could hold forever
I would save the day that I met you.

Is it still magic although we've grown worlds apart
It seem so tragic, so frail the heart.

[Chorus:]
But if I was blessed with just one wish
To take me through my lonely life
I'd wish to go back to the day that I met you

And when you fell you're on your own
Well just believe you're not alone
And you fell the warmth
That we shared years ago
Don't be blue

One painful morning, I stared straight into the sun,
It overwhelmed me, I came undone

[Chorus:]
So, if you can find it in your heart
To be forgiving to a broken man,
We'll go back to the day that I met you.


8. Those Who Prey

I had a dream of great catastrophes,
And all the children cried a thousand seas,
While all the love we watched them lay to rest,
We stood up straight and tall and let them,
Let them put us to the test,
And we won, and love have saved the day
Then I woke, and evil got away

And on your throne you condescend so well,
If I could have my way you'd burn in hell,
While I watched you steal the bread from open arms
As you promise to protect their lives from harm

[Bridge:]
Bow down to those who prey
For they shall have their day

[Pre-Chorus:]
Hey you, watcha gonna do to me
Down so low, can't you look around and see,
There's hope, truth is gonna set you free
You don't know, meaning of equality

[Chorus:]
Fighting to erase the dynasty,
Of those who prey on me.
And on your life you swear on lust and greed,
But the cries of hurting children makes you bleed,
Can you see your demon right before your eyes,
They're no good to you, except for cheap disguise,

[Bridge:]
[Pre-Chorus:]
[Chorus:]

Now one day soon the righteous will unite
And upon your head, the blind will gain their sight

Gonna put an end to the misery and those who prey will see


9. Dream Of A Lifetime

An eye for an eye, a heart for a heart
That's the way that we play
Up in the cloud, where's angels fly
You take my breath away.

[bridge 1:]
Your love is my heaven
Now I'm going that way, hey, hey
And when I get there
You know I'm gonna stay, stay, stay

[Chorus:]
You're the dream of a lifetime
Whoa, yeah
You're the dream of a lifetime
Yes, you are

Caught up in the roles that we play
It's foolish game
There's nothing we can't do or be
If we want it the same

[bridge 2:]
If I had all my chances
To look you away, hey, hey
Now when I find ya,
you know I'm gonna stay, stay, stay

[Chorus:]
You're the dream of a lifetime
Whoa, yeah
You're the dream of a lifetime
Yes, you are


10. Become A Monster



11. True Believer

Every day about this time
I lose my reason and my rhyme,
Everything around me's getting clearer.

Season's changing quickly,
My attitude is strictly here and now
The time is getting nearer.

But it's all right now
To run along with me
Maybe I'll make you see.
I'm a true believer,
A True Believer, baby
Any time or any place at all.

No matter what you heard before
You never know just what's in store
Until you've found the road you're taking.
But even now I'm killing time,
Believing you were only mine, I guess,
That rules were made for breaking.

Maybe time will tell
If you learned your lessons well.
So, have some faith in me.
I'm a true believe,
A True Believer, baby,
Any time or any place at all.
I'm a true believer
A True Believer, baby
Any time or any place at all.

Then in your sleep I saw you crying.
But I knew, those tears were not for me.

But it's all right now
To ride along with me.
Maybe I'll make you see.

I'm a true believer
A True Believer, baby.
Any time or any place at all
I'm a true believer
A True Believer, baby,
Any time or any place
I turn around and I see your face
Any time or any place at all
True Believer, True Believer, True Believer.
