1. CAN'T SEE THE ANGELS

Look and see into this other world
For them the rules can always bend
What a lasting dream, they know they have the very best

The chosen few need not pretend

Not just a game, not just a way to be
We all can have our chance to turn the tide our way

You can't see the angels from here
Life itself may be your only fear
Though the future's not certain
The message is quite clear
No you can't see the angels from here

Nothing to lose, now that you know for sure
And no one said it's an easy ride
The choice is not so very hard to make my friend
The losers ghost seen by his side

Not just a game, not just a way to be
We all can have our chances to turn the tide our way

You can't see the angels from here
Life itself may be your only fear
Though the future's not certain
The message is quite clear
No you can't see the angels from here
Report a problem



2. SHE'S HOT

Look and see into this other world
For them the rules can always bend
What a lasting dream, they know they have the very best

The chosen few need not pretend

Not just a game, not just a way to be
We all can have our chance to turn the tide our way

You can't see the angels from here
Life itself may be your only fear
Though the future's not certain
The message is quite clear
No you can't see the angels from here

Nothing to lose, now that you know for sure
And no one said it's an easy ride
The choice is not so very hard to make my friend
The losers ghost seen by his side

Not just a game, not just a way to be
We all can have our chances to turn the tide our way

You can't see the angels from here
Life itself may be your only fear
Though the future's not certain
The message is quite clear
No you can't see the angels from here
Report a problem

She's hot tonight
I got a temperature 103, she gave me burns of the third
degree
She's hot



3. CAN'T WAIT FOR EVER

Friends from the start, affairs of the heart
Brought us closer than we ever dreamed
Love was so blind, just a question of time
And things didn't turn out quite the way the seemed

When the heat was turned on, the fire it was gone
Tour train of thought just slipped right off the track
Then a flash of the hand, not the way that it was planned
I just bought your ticket and you're never coming back

Can't live, can't love, can't wait to hold you in my open Arms
Can't live, can't love, can't wait forever

Counting the days, been changing my ways
Is that the way that it was mean to be
The way you threw down your book, I knew by your look
You were gone from that moment, you ain't coming back to Me

I can't live without you
I can't love without you
Just can't wait to hold you in my open arms
Can't live
Can't love
Can't wait forever



4. THIS TIME GIRL


Oh I know now that I've made some mistakes
And loneliness is the price that I paid
If only you'd find a way to forgive and forget
Oh I know I've treated love like a game
But since you turned away I'm not the same
Don't walk away, that's something that we'll both regret
Oh won't you give me one more try

This time girl, I'll hold you closer than before
This time girl, I'll make you mine forever more

I know girl that I've promised before
This time it's real, I can't tell you on more
If only you'd find a way to be here by my side
Turn around, hold your hands up surrender
Girl I'll be tender, oh so tender

Don't run away, 'cos there's nowhere that you can hide
So won't you give me one more try
Give me one more try

This time girl, I'll hold you closer than before
This time girl, I'll make you mine forever more
This time girl, if you'll just give me one more try
This time girl, girl we will never say goodbye
Don't walk away, don't leave me standing here
Girl you're confused, and you're not thinking clear

This time girl, I'll hold you closer than before
This time girl, I'll make you mine forever more
This time girl, if you'll just give me one more try
This time girl, girl we will never say goodbye

This time girl, I'll hold you closer than before
This time girl, I'll make you mine forever more
This time girl, if you'll just give me one more try
This time girl, girl we will never say goodbye



5. TIME SLIPPING AWAY

His own, fears he just can't hide
Knowing well that it's too late, before you really tried
You thought that times would heal the scars, but yours Were much too deep
Years that passed were only used in dreams within your Sleep

I know it, you know it
Time slipping, time keeps slipping
You know it, yeah I know it
I know that time keeps slipping away
Now who waits for a life to change, eyes that can not see
Trying to find the world outside, the best things are for Free

Fight the past it's over now, relieve a wasted youth
Who knows what you'll find for sure, it must me bear the Truth

All trought the darkness, I could see the light
While those around me seemed so blind
Now that I'm older, I can see it all
I can see the world you'll never find

Keep slipping away



6. LISTEN TO WHAT YOUR HEART SAYS

Oh sense has no part, in affairs of the heat
Still you've made up your mind what to do
So please tell me why, those tears in your eyes glisten through
You've thought it all out, no logical doubts
But I'm asking just one thing from you
Oh won't you try and listen to your heart once more

You just close your eyes and count to ten
Realize, listen what your heart says
Take your time, time never ends
When love is blind, listen what your heart says now

Why do you hide, those feelings inside
When you know in your heart what is true
Those feelings don't lie, so believe me 'cos I'm here for you
But don't take too long, oh I know that you're wrong
There is only one thing you can do
Oh won't you try and listen to your heart once more

Now change your mind, change your world back to mine
How, how can this be, I want you, you want me
So follow your heart



7. STILL WANT YOU

I see you walk by with that look in your eye
I say to myself that you mean nothing to me
This time I'm gonna fight back, wait and see
Looking at life as a different man

I think yo myself there's so much there to seen
To find someone who's gonna understand me
But if you feel there's a chance to be
And in your heart there's a place for me
Don't hang around 'cos it's plain to see, come back to me

Still want you, still need you
But this line's dead, can't get through
Can't hold on till love's gone
This heart just dropped, the beat's gone
Still love you, oh I do
Somehow your aim went straight through
You can't show me you love me too

I'm walking away, don't ask me today
Unable to speak with so much to say
Dom't waste my life with all your feeble fantasies
Time after time you promised to care
But love never comes, I'll still be there

Cry for yourself but don't shed no tear for me
But if you feel there's a chance to be
And in your heart there's a place for me
Don't hang around 'cos it's plain to see, come back to me

It's falling apart again, you stop and you start again
You're breaking this heart again, I really can't hide again
It's falling apart again, and again, and again, and again

But if you feel there's a chance to be
And in your heart there's a place for me
Don't hang around 'cos it's plain to see, come back to me



8. THE HORN( INSTRUMENTAL)



9. BATTLE ROYALE

Silver glimmer, stretching to the midgnight sky
Hear the crying men, relinquishing to die
Bodies floating, no longer make a sound
Only spoils of war echo all around

Battle royal
Battle royal as the ships go down, go down
Battle royal
Battle royal as the ships go down, go down

It's all over now for the hand that never bled
Those young lives who fought the sea instead
See the seagull flying oh so high
It's now our turn to fly

Battle royal
Battle royal as the ships go down, go down
Battle royal
Battle royal as the ships go down, go down
My turn to fly



10. ONLY YOU

What do you do when your whole life's fallen through
And the woman you want just don't want you
What do you say when questions that your face hurt so bad you're out of place

Out on the Street, people you meet just can't get through
You're looking around, head's to the ground when strangers stare at you
Can't run away, I'm here to stay, I never give up till I make you pay

There's not a thing that you can do
It's time to pay, I'm here to stay
You're on your own, I have to say
Don't cry for me, I'll set you free, I'll take my chance

Only you could break my heart in two
Only you could hurt me like you do
Only you could treat my love so wrong
Only you could haunt me, taunt me, only you

Seems so long since I've seen your face
You're walking around with no disgrace
You act so cool when friends come around
All alone you can't wait toput me down
You act so false with no remorse when I talk to you
Can't wait for the day that you'll hear me say we are Through

Come a time you'll change your mind
Yuo can't turn back the hands of time
There'll be nothing you can do
It's time to pay, I'm here to stay
You're on your own, I have to say
Don't cry for me, I'll set you free, I'll take my chance

It's time to pay, I'm here to stay
You're on your own, I have to say
Don't cry for me, I'll set you free, I'll take my chance



11. BORDERLINE

Lighting up the sky, the raging battle flares
Thunderous sound of war, taste of smoke in the air
Blood red sky reflects, the fire there below
The hand of fate, it may cast the final blow
Tonight for some will be a one way journey
Only the lucky will return
Tonight for some will be a lasting memory
The battle scars will always burn

Step in line
We're going to the Bordeline
Step in line
Take it, take it to the Bordeline
Step in line
We're going to the Bordeline
Step in line, one way, ticked to the Bordeline

No doubt you'll feel the fear, there's no use in pretending

Hear your heartbeat as you've never done before
Don't turn your back, on the cold, cold eye of danger
For you are the soldier and this is the war
Tonight there'll be no love, no such word as feeling
Blood will run freely from the knife

Today you fought for your king an country
Tonight you'll be fighting for your life
The sound that you most fear, you hear calling
