Lyrics


1. HEART OF LIES

Waking up read the news today
It seems like trouble's on the way
They're everywhere look and you will see
In my head I'd rather stay

If this is the land of the free
How-come freedom feels so far away

So far away

Another victim to a heart of lies
Can't see the truth behind those venom eyes
Another victim to a heart of lies
On deaf ears will fall the eagle's cries

Every day I see the devil's hands
They're strangling the honest man
Back to work shut your eyes and lose your mind
Is this all really worth your time no fucking way

Another victim to a heart of lies
Can't see the truth behind those venom eyes
Another victim to a heart of lies
On deaf ears will fall the eagle's cries

If this is the land of the free
How-come freedom feels so far away

So far away

Another victim to a heart of lies
Can't see the truth behind those venom eyes
Another victim to a heart of lies
On deaf ears will fall the eagle's cries


2. POSITION OF POWER

Switching to overdrive
Starting to feel alive
Not everyone can see
Taking it to the edge
Say the words that are never said
You have to believe

Faster than time on the wings of the desire
Follow me into the fire

There's no time to lose
Forever isn't long enough
In my position of power

Racing again tonight
To the dawn of the morning light
There's just no other way
Making it to the end
Where the test just begins
Hey don't be afraid

Faster than time on the wings of the desire
Follow me into the fire

There's no time to lose
Forever isn't long enough
In my position of power
There's no time to lose
Forever isn't long enough
In my position of power

Nothing can stop me

Faster than time on the wings of the desire
Follow me into the fire

There's no time to lose
Forever isn't long enough
In my position of power
My position of power


3. HEAD FIRST

Fame and fortune are what I'm after
I won't let the fear hold me back
When all I hear is their laughter
I let it fade into the black

Sometimes it feels like I'm falling behind
But I know this is the place this is the time

I'm going head first - there's only one way to go
Head first into the night
I'm going head first - there's only one way to go

To go

There's a few things I never question
And I'll never break I'll never bend
And there's nothing I wouldn't give up
To see it through to the end

Sometimes it feels like I"m falling behind
But I know this is the place this is the time

I'm going head first - there's only one way to go
Head first into the night
I'm going head first - there's only one way to go - to go
Head first - there's only one way to go
Head first into the night
I'm going head first - there's only one way to go

I'm going head first - there's only one way to go
Head first into the night
I'm going head first - there's only one way to go - to go
Head first - there's only one way to go
Head first into the night
I'm going head first - there's only one way to go

There's only one way to go
'Cause that's all that I know
It's the only way to go


4. ON THE RUN

Surrounded by roads with no signs and no end
How can I know where they go

All I was searching for
Was a way to see through the night

One step in the wrong direction
Going nowhere seeing my reflection
My time has burned away

Running through the night - running through the night
We’re on the run tonight
Running through the night - running through the night
We’re on the run

I gotta move my time is up
I gotta get the hell out of here - running through the night
Running through the night - running through the night

Where do I go from here
It’s almost like my world has disappeared

One step in the wrong direction
Going nowhere seeing my reflection
My time has burned away

Running through the night - running through the night
We’re on the run tonight
Running through the night - running through the night
We’re on the run

I gotta move my time is up
I gotta get the hell out of here - running through the night
Running through the night - running through the night

Everywhere that I go
I bring where I have been
That’s why I’m running through the night
Running through the night

Running through the night
We’re on the run tonight
Running through the night
We’re on the run

I gotta move my time is up
I gotta get the hell out of here - running through the night
Running through the night - running through the night

Running through the night - running through the night
Oh God I’m running
Running through the night
Running through the night

On the run again
On the run again
On the run again
On the run again

On the run


5. THE FRONT

Everyone has their cross to bear
And we go on just pretending to be something else

How can anyone know the real you
Even your closest friends will never know
How can anyone know the real you
They'll only ever see the front you show

Everyday it feels like you're not even there
Just a shadow on the wall in your own mind

How can anyone know the real you
Even your closest friends will never know
How can anyone know the real you
They'll only ever see the front you show

They'll never know

How can anyone know the real you
Even your closest friends will never know
How can anyone know the real you
They'll only ever see the front you show

How can anyone know the real you
Even your closest friends will never know
How can anyone know the real you
They'll only ever see the front you show


6. PLAY TO WIN

Take your time think it over
'Cause you might only get one shot at this
Read the signs between the lines
'Cause you might only get one shot then the game is over

If time has taught me anything
You've got to play if you're going to win

You've got to play to win - play to win
Oh you gotta play to win - play to win

You better play to win

Roll the dice if you've got the nerve
'Cause this might be the night - the night you're waiting for

If time has taught me anything
You've got to play if you're going to win

You've got to play to win - play to win
Oh you gotta play to win - play to win

You better play to win

It’s your life you've got the wheel
It's all up to you if you win or you lose

If time has taught be anything
You've got to play if you're going to win

You've got to play to win - play to win
You gotta play to win - play to win

You gotta play to win
You gotta play the game


7. STANDING ALONE

So many times I’ve tried
It's never been easy
That's how the story goes
And everyone knows

Standing alone out in the cold
Standing alone in the cold

I'm waiting for a change
But it won't come easy
It’s out of my control
It always slips away

Standing alone out in the cold
Standing alone in the cold

I'll wait - I'll wait for the changes
I'll wait - I know the future won’t be the same

Nothing can stay the same
But it’s coming full circle
The visions from the past
Are living today

Standing alone out in the cold
Standing alone in the cold

I'll wait - I'll wait for the changes
I'll wait - I know the future won’t be the same

I'll wait - I'll wait for the changes
I'll wait - I know the future won’t be the same
I'll wait - I'll wait for the changes
I’ll wait - I know the future won't be the same anymore

No it won't be the same
No no I’ll wait for the changes


8. SUMMONER

In the night he will rise
To take control of the fallen
Unholy ways to behold
In the chains of the master

Evil is the key to your soul

Summoner rise
Powers from beyond the mortal realm

Cursed bones from the grave
Live again in his power
Enchanted death fills the air
Twisted will shall be followed

Evil is the key to your soul

Summoner rise
Powers from beyond the mortal realm
Summoner rise
As the spell begins to overwhelm

In darkness you will find the light

Evil is the key to your soul

Summoner rise
Powers from beyond the mortal realm
Summoner rise
As the spell begins to overwhelm

You'll never die
He has your soul


9. HEAVY IS THE HEART

You always told me
I’d never make it to the top
And you always told me
That it's time to stop

Working through the night
I'm gonna build a better life
And leave this world behind
Not without a fight
I see the future in my sight
Nothing can stop me now

You don't need to know the reason
Why I do the things I do

You're so cold
Heavy is the heart that beats for you
You're so cold
Heavy is the heart that beats for you

You're so cold

You never told me
You don't have to change who you are
And you never told me
To reach for the stars

Working through the night
I'm gonna build a better life
And leave this world behind
Not without a fight
I see the future in my sight
Nothing can stop me now

You don't need to know the reason
Why I do the things I do

You're so cold
Heavy is the heart that beats for you
You're so cold
Heavy is the heart that beats for you

You're so cold

You're so cold
Heavy is the heart that beats for you
You're so cold
Heavy is the heart that beats for you


10. HANDS OF TIME

I wanted so bad to be there today
But these late nights are long and there was just no way
I know I said it wouldn't happen again
But I’ve got too many problems and too many bad friends
There really isn't too much to say
You can sleep when you're dead and man we party that way
You say my life won’t take me anywhere
But that's just your opinion and I just don't care

I feel alright - with the mistakes that I’ve made and the price that I pay
I feel alright - there's no tears in my eyes I've got no reason to lie

If there's a way I’ll find it
I'll walk it to the end
You can't stop the hands of time

Go ahead and say it’s my last chance
I'll be ok on my own and I don't need the romance
I'm just being honest in the things that I say
And I know deep down you feel the same way

I feel alright - with the mistakes that I’ve made and the price that I pay
I feel alright - there's no tears in my eyes I've got no reason to lie

If there's a way I’ll find it
I'll walk it to the end
You can't stop the hands of time

I feel alright - with the mistakes that I’ve made and the price that I pay
I feel alright - there's no tears in my eyes I've got no reason to lie

If there's a way I’ll find it
I'll walk it to the end
You can't stop the hands of time


11. YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING

One life I'm gonna live it up
I'm takin' flight I said I’ll never get enough
Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud
I'm on top as long as the music's loud

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'

That's right here's where the talkin' ends
Well listen this night there'll be some action spent
Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots
I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks

If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain
Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin

In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrow
Answer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow

Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah
Act tough ain't room for second best
Real strong got me some security
Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah

If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by
You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die
Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had
You think I'll let it go you're mad
You've got another thing comin'


12. RUN FOR YOUR LIFE

There is a man with a look in his eyes
I'm all alone and I think I could die
Gotta keep moving on to see the light

As I walk the night
I get the feeling it's not just me anymore
Out there in the night it's coming for me

It's coming for me

Run for your life when evil comes for you
Run from the knife because it's coming for you

Out on the water I saw something appear
My friends told me not to worry about it
But that was all before my friends started to disappear

As I walk the night
I get the feeling it's not just me anymore
Out there in the night it's coming for me

It's coming for me

Run for your life when evil comes for you
Run from the knife because it's coming for you

Yea it's coming after you
There's nothing you can do

Run for your life when evil comes for you
Run from the knife because it's coming for you
Run for your life when evil comes for you
Run from the knife because it's coming for you
