Dark in the Light 04:41
lyrics

Dusk lays down its hand of darkness, onto the world of light Sounds of days taken away, planted are seeds of the night Sneaking through the sleeping city, nocturnal spirits rise Secrets paths have now revealed, the full moon’s shady disguise Dark in the Light, beseeching the shadows Dark in the Light, crowns the afterglow Dark in the Light, beseeching the shadows Dark in the Light, crowns the afterglow SOLO Dark in the Light, beseeching the shadows Dark in the Light, crowns the afterglow Dark in the Light, beseeching the shadows Dark in the Light, crowns the afterglow

It Is 04:09
lyrics

Many times the bells have tolled, to reach a brand new day Alas this day had not a blue summer sky, but an evil calling grey An evil calling grey… The forests were calling on the winds to be free, and the seas were enraged with storm No one realized it was soon to be, the beginning of a whole new world IT called for demons, IT called for sin, IT called to the gods for its world to begin IT is magic on the evil side, IT is the blackness that always hides IT is fantasy that you will never know, IT will capture you and never let you go Fantasy that you'll never know, IT will capture you and never let you go. Dammed when you touch that pot of gold, cursed when you pick the four-leafed clover Nothing will ever be innocent again, life as you know it is over IT called for demons, IT called for sin, IT called to the gods for its world to begin IT is magic on the evil side, IT is the blackness that always hides IT is fantasy that you will never know, IT will capture you and never let you go Fantasy that you'll never know, IT will capture you and never let you go. SOLO Trying to triumph over your lost war You had no chance to overcome it before For now you are safe tomorrow you’ll go And search for that evil you must try to control IT called for demons, IT called for sin, IT called to the gods for its world to begin IT is magic on the evil side, IT is the blackness that always hides IT is fantasy that you will never know, IT will capture you and never le ve t IT called for demons, IT called for sin, IT called…IT called to the gods IT is magic on the evil side, IT is the blackness that always hides IT is fantasy that you will never know, IT will capture you and never le ve t IT called for demons, IT called for sin, IT called to the gods for its world to begin IT is magic on the evil side, IT is the blackness that always hides IT is fantasy that you will never know, IT will capture you and never let you go Fantasy that you'll never know, IT will capture you and never let you go. Fantasy that you’ll never……………….. know

Kiss Me Ya Fool 03:19
lyrics

You come into my life, you're a mystery, the chances I take are worth it to me The times were together are few and far between, they take my fears away for the time being I think about the times its never worked out, there must be a day when there’ll be a turn-about I sit and I wonder how long, if ever, loneliness will release me as its prisoner Kiss me you fool, make love to me, take me this night, I’m not asking for eternity Kiss me you fool, make love to me, take me this night, I’m not asking for eternity Bad timing is the excuse of late, all I’m looking for is a loving mate I’ll spend my life searching for the one, waiting for the disappointment to be done I’m looking for what you have to offer me, no matter what it is Even if I have to swallow my pride, and be on the side Kiss me you fool, make love to me, take me this night, I’m not asking for eternity Kiss me you fool, make love to me, take me this night, I’m not asking for eternity SOLO How do I control my feelings, when I want you so bad How do I tell you what I really mean, the complexities of my needs Kiss me you fool, make love to me, take me this night, I’m not asking for eternity Kiss me you fool, make love to me, take me this night, I’m not asking for eternity Kiss me ya fool

Just like another world, I don’t know you anymore I won’t stand and fight for you, you make me look like a fool Learn from my mistakes, isn’t that what I said You never listened or heard, you dug your own grave instead Learn from my mistakes, isn’t that what I said You never listened or heard, you dug your own grave instead It’s not doing any good, giving you advice All you do is take my words, and throw it back in my face Learn from my mistakes, isn’t that what I said You never listened or heard, you dug your own grave instead Learn from my mistakes, isn’t that what I said You never listened or heard, you dug your own grave instead SOLO You’ve got to help yourself now, I’m not hanging on the line Your problems aren’t mine anymore, i’ve spent my time Learn from my mistakes, isn’t that what I said You never listened or heard, you dug your own grave instead Learn from my mistakes, isn’t that what I said You never listened or heard, you dug your own grave instead Learn from my mistakes, isn’t that what I said You never listened or heard, you dug your own grave instead

Money Hungry 02:38
lyrics
buy track
Daddy, said his little boy, spend some time with me I’ve got more vital things to do, than waste my money and time for you Integration of this curse, ate away his heart Moved in towards his family, and tore their aching lives apart They are money hungry (Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ea Ya), money hungry Money hungry, they’ll strip you to the bone Money bought this politician, love in a hotel room Not on moment’s wasted time, and access to his button of doom Devastation of his life, destruction of his mind Yet this money lingered on, to the next greedy heart in line They are money hungry (Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ea Ya), money hungry Money hungry, they’ll strip you to the bone SOLO Wealth and riches are his thirst, it’s powers in his veins To scratch his way up to the top, it always seems to be the same Exclamation of this point, is purely plain to see That when it comes to cold hard cash, there is that special breed They are money hungry and nothing else for them will do They’ll use their muscle and their money. To get what they can from you They are money hungry (Ya Ya Ya Ya Ya Ea Ya), money hun gry (Money hungry) they’ll strip you to the bone (Money hungry) Oh yes to the bone, (Money hungry) to the bone, ye ah ye ah, to the bone

Baby baby please don’t go away from me, you can’t just leave me alone I would be so lost without you, that’s why I can never let you go How could you leave me stranded How could you leave me stranded How could you leave me stranded How could you leave me stranded I've done so much for you, and all I get in return is an empty home You will get your just reward some day, when someone plays the same games that you play How could you leave me stranded How could you leave me stranded How could you leave me stranded How could you leave me stranded I know its up to you what you do, but not when you're messing with my life too You’ve got some nerve you do, I hope the next time the victim is you How could you leave me stranded How could you leave me stranded How could you leave me stranded How could you leave me stranded How could you leave me How, how could you leave me How could you leave me stranded How could you leave me stranded

Do you believe that I’ll live my life, following you around I’m gonna give you some good advice, where no more can be found Just because the lovin is good, doesn’t mean my life is fulfilled You can try but you’ll probably fail, you can never break my will Too many times I went back, too many times I tried Too many times I loved you, too many times Too many times I went back, too many times I tried Too many times I loved you, too many times I’m not here to fall in love again, I’m here because I want you to know That I gave it all that I had, our love is now out in the cold Too many differences in our lives, I won’t be your fool anymore Someone will love me for who I am, and I will never again darken your door Too many times I went back, too many times I tried Too many times I loved you, too many times Too many times I went back, too many times I tried Too many times I loved you, too many times SOLO You shattered my life to pieces, but I will pick them up and be on my way I won’t look back at this to pick it apart, I will look back to relieve my heart Too many times I went back, too many times I tried Too many times I loved you, too many times Too many times I went back, too many times I tried Too many times I loved you, too many times

Come & join me, I welcome you inside, I will no longer be the only one that hides You will feel the chills of an unearthly laugh, as darkness holds my light in it's dreadful grasp The path is strong with the stench of loss, too many roads ahead not sure which ones to cross Believe me whispers your deceitful regret, it's not hard to face the truth in your closet Angels & Demons have feasted by my side, they are now tearing down the temples of my eyes No feelings, no sounds, only bare walls remain, a wish, a breath, a word, or love, never to be known again Relentless flooding waters of rage, soothe the blazing fires of my sorrows and pains Unruly, whistling winds are my sanity, absorbed by the earth's cold calamity Collected memories disregarded life, the tricksters of torment not allowing me inside In a world forgotten and forbidden too, your frozen emotions bear the burdens of being cruel Angels & Demons have feasted by my side, they are now tearing down the temples of my eyes No feelings, no sounds, only bare walls remain, a wish, a breath, a word, or love, never to be known again SOLO I Can't keep up I'm getting so tired, the eclipse has cloaked my precious fire I should be scared I don't feel at all, gone are the souls that haunt my walls No use running Nowhere to go, left is my nameless tortured soul Feeding me with phantom time, my life has extinguished from my light Angels & Demons have feasted by my side, they are now tearing down the temples of my eyes No feelings, no sounds, only bare walls remain, a wish, a breath, a word, or love, never to be known again Angels and demons never to be known again Never to be never to be never to be known again Never to be known again

Scar Wars 02:54

I can’t see right in front of me, I don’t believe what I wanna see Take my eyes cause I do not need this dream Take me down the path of old, lead the way and lead my soul You say you don’t see the hole of control Truth or tale the yellow run, lies surround the spitting sun Depth of the dark, sign of the times, hauntingly ruling my own mind Peel back the mask of the night, exposing the flesh of your light Smoldering delusions of your sight ignite Worldly gods they think they are, built to crumble, born to fall Dripping devils form the scars of wars Race the beast, nowhere to hide, the winged torture that takes its flight Dare to enter, they grin and call, no escape from these ambitious walls

Is it my fault when you go away, tell me if it is, I won’t stay If I make you feel as bad as I do, then I will leave my life with you I wouldn’t like it if you were to leave, I cannot handle rejection When I love you this much, should I give you another chance………another chance I get so mad when you won’t talk to me, how am I to help I don’t know why, aren’t we supposed to be one you and me Aren’t we supposed to love and be free Together, can’t we be together, can’t you see……can’t you see I lie awake I cannot sleep, wondering where you are Why do you make me feel, you don’t deserve me at all I cannot think of what I did, maybe I held you too close Maybe I’m not everything you want, won’t you tell me if you know……….if you know I get so mad when you won’t talk to me, how am I to help I don’t know why, aren’t we supposed to be one you and me Aren’t we supposed to love and be free Together, can’t we be together, can’t you see……can’t you see SOLO Why do you go what did I do, all I’m guilty of is loving you Why don’t you understand, when you go away for days, I think its my fault Please don’t turn me away…………turn me away I get so mad when you won’t talk to me, how am I to help I don’t know why, aren’t we supposed to be one you and me Aren’t we supposed to love and be free Together, can’t we be together, can’t you see……can’t you see I get so mad when you won’t talk to me, how am I to help I don’t know why, aren’t we supposed to be one you and me Aren’t we supposed to love and be free Together, can’t we be together, can’t you see……can’t you see
