from the album "Never Say Die"
Never Say Die
People going nowhere, taken for a ride
Looking for
the answers that they know inside
Searching for a reason, looking for a
rhyme
Snow White's mirror said: partners in crime!
Don't they ever
have to worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells
you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never, never, never say die
again
Sunday's satisfaction, Monday's home and dry
Truth is on the
doorstep, welcome in the lie
All dressed up in sorrow, got no place to go
Hold back, `till it's ready, taking it slow
Don't they ever have to
worry?
Don't you ever wonder why?
It's a part of me that tells you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never, never, never say die again
Don't you ever say die
Don't you ever say die
Never say die
Panic, silver lining, writing's on the wall
Children get together,
you can save us all
Future's on the corner, throwing us a die
Slow down,
turn around, everything's fine
There's no need to have a reason
There's no need to wonder why
It's a part of me that tells you
Oh, don't you ever, don't ever say die
Never, never, never say die again
Shock Wave
There's no reason for you to run
You can't escape
the fate of the chosen one
Black moon rising, in a blood red sky
This
time you realise that you're gonna die
Drinking your blood brew is your
answer
That's what you plan to do
No dreaming, time you cheat this
master
You're on your own going through
Wind of mist has taken over
your mind
And you think you're on your own
Don't believe you are the
only one here
Look around, you're not alone
Feel the forces from
another world
Ghostly shadows fill your mind
Evil power hanging over you
As you freeze, you're like a child
Look behind you!
Somebody's
calling
Someone is near
Feel yourself falling
Falling with fear
You tell yourself you're dreaming
You realise you're screaming
You
know that this shouldn't happen to you
You tell yourself that it's scary too
But there is nothing you can do, oh!
Ghostly shadows from the other
world
Evil forces in your mind
Trapped between the worlds of life and
death
Frozen in the realms of time
Look behind you!
You feel
yourself falling, you're at the end of the line
Your body is crawling, but
your senses are blind
Cold, cold feelings are running through your brains
Ice cold fingers, flowing through your veins
Johnny Blade
Tortured and twisted, he walks the streets alone
People avoid him, they know the street's his own
Cold blade of silver,
his eyes they burn so wild
Mean as a tiger, society's own child
Go
the tiger, burn in hate
You know you have to, Johnny Blade
He's the
meanest guy around his town
One look and he will cut you down
Johnny
Blade, Johnny Blade
Life has no meaning, and Death's his only friend
Will fate surprise him, where will he meet his end?
He feels so bitter,
yes he's so full of hate
To die in the gutter, I guess that's Johnny's fate
Rivals all across the land
He kills them with his knife in hand
He's the meanest guy around his town
One look and he will cut you down
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade
Well you
know that Johnny's a spider
And his web is the city at night
He's a
victim of modern frustration
That's the reason he's so ready to fight
He's the one that should be afraid
What will happen to you, Johnny
Blade?
Oh he knows his future's decided
And he ain't gonna change
it, no way
He was born to die in the gutter
He'll keep fighting `till
the end of his days
Been alone all through his life
His only friend
is a switchblade knife
He's the one who should be afraid
What will
happen to you, Johnny Blade?
You fool the people
Who's fooling who?
It's time to listen
The fool is you
Hard Road
Old men crying, young men dying
World still turns as
Father Time looks on
On and on
Children playing, dreamers praying
Laughter turns to tear as love has gone
Has it gone?
Oh, it's a
hard road
Oh, it's a hard road
Whirlwind churning, lovers learning
On this path of life we can't back down
Is it wrong?
Widows weeping,
babies sleeping
Life becomes the singer and the song
Sing along
Oh, it's a hard road
Carry your own load
Why make the hard
road?
Why can't we be friends?
No need to hurry
We'll meet in the
end
Why make the hard road?
Why can't we be friends?
No need to
worry
Let's sing it again
Brother's sharing, mother's caring
Night time falling victim to the dawn
Shadows small
Days are
crawling, time is calling
To the Earth that not that life has gone
Love
line drawn
Oh, it's a hard road
Carry your own load
Oh, it's a
hard road
Oh, it's a hard road
\dots
We're living in sorrow
We're living the best
And look to the future
`Cause life goes
together now
Junior's eyes
Junior's eyes looked up to the skies in tears
He
prayed that his maker, the giver and taker, would `pear
Junior sighed, as
his hands reached out to the sky
Junior cried, the day that his best friend
died
Yeah!
They're coming home again tomorrow
I'm sorry it won't
be for long
With all the pain I've watched you live within
I'll try my
hardest not to cry when it is time to say goodbye
Junior's eyes, they
couldn't disguise the pain
His father was leaving, and Junior is grieving
again
Innocent eyes watched the man who had gave everything
Junior's
sorrow, who knew what tomorrow would bring?
Yeah!
They're coming
home again tomorrow
I'm sorry it won't be for long
With all the pain
I've watched you live within
I'll try my hardest not to cry
When it is
time to say goodbye
Junior's eyes looked into the skies once more
Now he knew well, this life was hell for sure
He desperately tried, his
fingertips stretched to the stars, yeah
Reaching for reason, along with the
time and the stars
Yeah!
They're coming home again tomorrow
I'm
sorry it won't be for long
With all the pain I've watched you live within
I'll try my hardest not to cry
When it is time to say goodbye
Air Dance
She sits in silence, in her midnight world
Her faded
pictures, of her dancing girls
Her distant dreamer, on the seas of time
Her happy memories, dancing through her mind
In days of romance
She was the queen of dance
She'd dance the night away
And as the
seasons turn the days to years
She holds her pictures, hears the silent
cheers
The days grow lonely for the dancing queen
And now she dances
only in her dreams
In days of romance
She was the queen of dance
She'd dance the night away, away, away, away
Over to you
Born in the window
Nobody's fool
Raised in the
prison
You called the school
Taught young in legends
Told what to do
I handed my childhood
Over to you
Travelling endlessly
I'm
searching for mind
I'm almost afraid of what I will find
Wandering
aimlessly
Oh what can I do?
I handed my future over to you, to you
Over to you
Future looks blue
What can I do?
Watching
for freedom
Fighting your wars
Feeding your children
Keeping your
laws
Someday you'll suffer
And what I'll do
I'll hand all your
promises
Over to you
Standing inside myself
I'm losing control
You made me believe in the stories you told
Waiting impatiently
What
else can I do?
I handed my future over to you, to you
Over to you
Future looks blue
What can I do?
Tears filled of sadness
Stealing myself
Which burning secrets?
What to they tell?
Mad
politicians
Can tell it true
I handed my children
Over to you
All over, over to you
All over, over to you
All over, over to
you...
Swinging the Chain
It's against my uniform
To be a civil judge
All the songs are history now
`Bout rock stars and their grudge
Let
us cast our minds back
To thirty years or more
You took up all the
vandals
Will Hitler beat `em all?
And we're sad and sorry
Really
sorry that it happened that way
Yes we're sad and sorry
But why'd you
have to treat us that way?
Compare ourselves with others
And cover
them in sin
Oh, God what a terrible
A terrible state we're in
There
must be some way out of here
A compromise that's right
If we cannot work
it out
We're gonna have to fight
Yes we're sad and sorry
Really
sorry that it happened that way
Yes we're sad and sorry
We cannot go on
in those days
I'm talking about my brothers
Yeah, I'm talking `bout
sisters as well
And I wish you good luck
Good luck!
Oh, but the
world's still on fire
Chain the hope you take on, liar
This fire
We're on fire, we're on fire, yeah
