rainbow in the dark

Rainbow In The Dark

When there's lightning - you know it always brings me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
I cry for magic - I feel it dancing in the light
It was cold - Lost my hold
To the shadows of the night

No sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
A Rainbow in the Dark

Do your demons - do they ever let you go
When you've tried do they hide deep inside
Is it someone that you know
You're just a picture - you're an image caught in time
We're a lie - you and I
We're words without a rhyme

There's no sign of the morning coming
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
Just a Rainbow in the Dark
Yeah!

When I see lightning - it always brings me down
Cause it's free and I see that it's me
Who's lost and never found
Feel the magic -feel it floating in the air
But it's fear - and you'll hear
It calling you beware
Look out!

There's no sign of the morning coming
There's no sight of the day
You've been left on your own
Like a Rainbow
Like a Rainbow in the Dark
Yeah!
You're a Rainbow in the Dark
Just a Rainbow in the Dark
No sign of the morning
You're a Rainbow...in the Dark

last in line

We're a ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness
That it needs, yeah

We're a laugh without a tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming - home

We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
The throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way is down

We don't come alone
We are fire we are stone
We're the hand that writes
Then quickly moves away

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line

Two eyes from the east
It's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies between
The good and bad

We search for the truth
We could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase
Is worth the pain

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line

We're off to the witch
We may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel
Is worth a lifetime

We're all born upon the cross
The throw before the toss
You can release yourself
But the only way you go is down

We'll know for the first time
If we're evil or divine
We're the last in line
We're the last in line

shame on the night

Shame on the night for places I've been and what I've seen for giving me the strangest dreams
But you never let me know just what they mean so oh oh so shame on the night alright
And shame on you you've stolen the day snatched it away but I saw the sky and I never want to die
Now you know the reason why I say oh shame on the night
You don't care what you've done so I think I'd better run
Shame on the sun for the light you sold I've lost my hold on the magic flame but now I know your name
Oh lord just go the way you came again oh oh oh shame on the night
You don't care what you've done so I know I'd better run
Shame on the night for places I've been and what I've seen for giving me the strangest dreams
You never never never know just what they mean oh shame on the night
You don't care what you've done here I go I've got to run
Shame on the night shame shame on you
Shame on the dream shame on tzhe sun and you shame on the night
Well I've lost my hold on the magic flame but now I know your name
Shame on the night shame on you shame on all of you shame on the night

dream on

Every time that I look in the mirror
All these lines in my face gettin' clearer
The past is gone;
It went by like dust to dawn
Isn't that the way?
Everybody's got their dues in life to pay
I know nobody knows
Where it comes and where it goes
I know it's everybody's sin;
You got to lose to know how to win.
Half my life's in books' written pages,
Lived and learned from fools and from sages.
You know it's true,
All these things
Come back to you.
Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter n' sing for the tear.
Sing with me
If it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.
Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter n' sing for the tear.
Sing with me
If it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream yourself a dream come true.
Dream on, dream on, dream on,
And dream until your dream comes true.
Dream on, dream on, dream on, dream on,
Dream on, dream on, dream on, ah. ah.
Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter n' sing for the tear.
Sing with me
If it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.
Sing with me,
Sing for the year,
Sing for the laughter n' sing for the tear.
Sing with me
If it's just for today,
Maybe tomorrow the good lord will take you away.

heaven and hell

Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil
The Devil is never a maker
The less that you give, you're a taker
So it's on and on and on, it's Heaven and Hell, oh well
The lover of life's not a sinner
The ending is just a beginner
The closer you get to the meaning
the sooner you'll know that you're dreaming
So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on
It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell
I can tell, fool, fool!
Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion
For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life
Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer
And it's on and on, on and on and on....
They say that life's a carousel
Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well
The world is full of Kings and Queens
Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams
It's Heaven and Hell, oh well
And they'll tell you black is really white
The moon is just the sun at night
And when you walk in golden halls
You get to keep the gold that falls
It's Heaven and Hell, oh no!
Fool, fool!
You've got to bleed for the dancer!
Fool, fool!
Look for the answer!
Fool, fool, fool!

don t talk to strangers

Don't talk to strangers
Mmmmh

Don't talk to strangers
'Cause they're only there to do you harm
Don't write in starlight
'Cause the words may come out real

Don't hide in doorways
You may find the key that opens up your soul
Don't go to heaven
'Cause it's really only hell

Don't smell the flowers
They're an evil drug to make you lose your mind
Don't dream of women
'Cause they only bring you down

Hey you, you know me, you've touched me, I'm real
I'm forever the one that lets you look and see and
Feel me
I'm danger - I'm the stranger

And I, I'm darkness, I'm anger, I'm pain
I am master
The evil song you sing inside your brain
Drive you insane
Don't talk

Don't let them inside your mind, yeah
Run away, run away, go!

No - no

Don't let them in your mind
Protect your soul

Don't dance in darkness
You may stumble and you're sure to fall
Don't write in starlight
'Cause the words may come out real

Don't talk to strangers [Don't talk to strangers]
'Cause they're only there to make you sad
Don't dream of women
'Cause they'll only bring you down
Yeah

Run, run, run, run away!

killing the dragon

Silence - we hunt for the queen
Sign of the cross
And pray in-between

Look by the light of the day
She's hiding till dark
Waiting to play hey-hey

Something's taken a child
And it all must end
Time to be killing the dragon again

Silence - we'll hunt for the lord
He takes crimson and gold
Gave ice to the cold

Oh to be never afraid
Of wolves at the door
Howling for more

More's been empty for years
And it all must end
Time to be killing the dragon again

Kneel and behold your new king
Digital dreams
And wonderful things to tease you

Small gods with electrical hearts
And it all will end
Time to be killing the dragon

mystery

Hey can you hear me can you see there's a storm on the edge of the sky
Does it matter it well does to me I can tell you why
You know when there's thunder there should be rain
But it don't always follow the rule no
And is the wise man always right no he can play the fool
It's always a mystery not what it seems to be
It's always a mystery just like you and me always a mystery
We are lightning we are flame and we burn at the touch of a spark
When there's the fire but no one sees the there's only the dark
Just imagine will you try I can see that you've opened your mind
Silver linings can disappear but they always shine
It's always a mystery not what it seems to be
It's always a mystery just like you and me always a mystery
It's always a mystery not what it seems to be always a mystery just like you and me
It's always a mystery not what you want to see
Always a mystery just like you and me always a mystery
Always a mystery not what you want to see always a mystery

to live for the king

Oh
The rising of the sun
Is seen by everyone
And no-one can deny that it's real
And when you hear the call
Come crashing through the wall
You just can't doubt the things that you feel

So lift me up, the time has come to sing
And give up everything
Oh
Live for the king

Though we fight against the rule
The genius and the fool
Are bound to labor under under the law, yeah
Before each man's a choice
Reject it or rejoice
The vision that the prophets are

So lift me up, the time has come we'll sing
And give up everything
Oh
Live for the king, oh

Living for the king, living for the king, yeah
Living for the king, look with the king, hey, talk with the king
Living for the king, something greater than you and I is the king
Living for the king, rejoice, rejoice, rejoice, it's rejoice
Living for the king, the time has come to sing
We're going to walk, walk with the king
Living for the king, open your eyes, open your eyes
Writings on the wall, don't you be denied
Living for the king, injected of rejoice, before it's meant a choice

Looking inside of yourself you might see someone you don't know ooh ooh

Flying away int the clouds you know you're losing your control ooh
And finding your way in the dark like some poor forgotten soul
You'll feel it you'll see it you'll feel the rush of the city lights

Just like the way you've always been caught in the middle helpless again

Yes!
The best steel goes through the fire
And you seem to burn
The dead man's always a liar
Look out! There's another one learning!
Too late for tomorrow
There's only today

No no, you can never surrender
You see through the mystery

god hates heavy metal

One more nightmare
No place like home
You see a picture of angels
I see a nail in the wall

Make him over
No time to lose

And if you've heard this one before
Don't stop me
Don't stop me

We learn slowly
Evil's in the holy
Incidental
God hates heavy metal
So I know he must hate me

Lazy-crazy
Must be my name
Why are you running to nowhere
Why do you listen to noise

So if you've heard this all before
Please stop me
Please stop me

Live don't preach it
If you can't don't teach it
Accidental
God loves heavy metal
So I know he must want me

We learn slowly
Mind control is holy
Stir don't shake it
Move too fast you'll break it up
Incidental
God is heavy metal
So I know he must need me

this is your life

Who cares what came before
We were only starlight
One day, then nevermore
Because we're whispers in the wind

Once upon a time
The world was never blind
Like we are

Right now it seems
You're only dreams and shadows
If wishes could be eagles how you'd fly

This is your life
This is your time
What if the flame won't last forever
This is your here
This is your now
Let it be magical

Who cares what came before
We're only starlight

Once upon the time
All the world was blind
Like we are

This is your life
This is your time
Look at your world
This is your life
