Do you feel them taunting
Idle threats in mind
What was once apologies
Now become a pack of lies
Break free from this weight inside
Listen to me, I won’t hide
From now on I’ll stand my ground
Listen to you, I’ve done my time
Daunted by past mistakes
Will you let it go
What was once sympathy
Now becomes offensiveness
Break free from this weight inside
Listen to me, I won’t hide
From now on I’ll stand my ground
Listen to you, I’ve done my time
Break free from this weight inside
Listen to me, I won’t hide
From now on I’ll stand my ground
Listen to you, I’ve done my time
Break free from this weight inside
Listen to me, I’ve no more time
Will you let it go, I can’t take anymore
Will you let it go, I can’t take anymore

Workforce
05:48
|

This road to nowhere, is the path to our dreams
We’ve struggled within, to find who we are
Night after night, carved forever in stone
We engrave our souls
We must live today, and fight for today (oh oh)
We will try again, always try again, (oh oh)
Our lives pass before our eyes
Working our days into the night
Our lives pass before our eyes
With the break of morning, we wash away all our dreams
Punching the clock, we hunger to be free
Day after day, carved forever in stone
We engrave our souls
We must live today, and fight for today (oh oh)
We will try again, always try again, (oh oh)
Our lives pass before our eyes
Working our days into the night
Our lives pass before our eyes
We must live today, and fight for today (oh oh)
We will try again, always try again, (oh oh)
We must live today, and fight for today (oh oh)
Our lives pass before our eyes
Working our days into the night
Our lives pass before our eyes

Do Feelings Remain
05:07
|

I thought about you for the first time in so many years
How you were then, where are you now
Back then it seemed like our love would last forever
Summer felt so short, when we were young
Do you ever think of me?
I still think of you…
Do you ever think of us?
After all these years
What went wrong, why did it end
Looking back, I have to know
What went wrong, why did it end
I have to know, I have to know
What went wrong, why did it end
Looking back… I have to know… do feelings remain
I remember when we used to talk for hours on end
Always together, never apart
How could I forget the heat from when our bodies touched
The longing passion, it seemed like yesterday
Do you ever think of me?
I still think of you…
Do you ever think of us?
After all these years
What went wrong, why did it end
Looking back, I have to know
What went wrong, why did it end
I have to know, I have to know
What went wrong, why did it end
Looking back… I have to know… do feelings remain
Do you ever think of me?
I still think of you…
Do you ever think of us?
After all these years
What went wrong, why did it end
Looking back I have to know
What went wrong, why did it end
I have to know, I have to know
What went wrong, why did it end
Looking back… I have to know… do feelings remain

Lies and Illusions
05:57
|
|||
Listen to me know before the end is here
A charismatic man will infect you with powers and beliefs
Anesthetized with words, the message has been sent
First you listen, then you follow - stand up for yourself
Caught up in your dreams, wake up to the truth
This so called man of god will entrust you
To wash his hands and keep them clean
Come and march with me, make our voices heard
First you listen, then you follow - stand up for yourself
Time, time to ask the question who holds the answers
When the puzzle pieces just won’t fit
Information, Delivery with deception
Stand up and be counted, don’t be left behind
Your heart tells you, it’s not what they say
It’s who to follow and where to go
Lies, covering other lies, Master of illusions
They twist the truth, and spread their lies
Lies, covering other lies, Master of illusions
They twist the truth, and spread their lies
Listen to me, before it’s too late
Listen to me now!
Lies, covering other lies, Master of illusions
They twist the truth, and spread their lies
Lies, covering other lies, Master of illusions
They twist the truth, and spread their lies
Time, time to ask the question who holds the answers
When the puzzle pieces just won’t fit
Come and march with me, make our voices heard
First you listen, then you follow - stand up for yourself
Your heart tells you, it’s not what they say
It’s who to follow and where to go
Lies, covering other lies, Master of illusions
They twist the truth, and spread their lies
Lies, covering other lies, Master of illusions
They twist the truth, and spread their lies

Apologetic Heart
05:01
|
|||
What have I done, the things that I did
The wicked, troubled influences
Accepting changes, and understanding
And what it takes to leave it be.
Two so unlike and different
Can become the same in heart and soul
Two so unlike and different
Can become the same in heart and soul
I am living proof
That you never know with me
I am living proof
In my world of agony
The different views we have,
Are neither right or wrong
To be together, we’ll stay strong
Two so unlike and different
Can become the same in heart and soul
Two so unlike and different
Can become the same in heart and soul
Two so unlike and different
Can become the same in heart and soul
Two so unlike and different
Can become the same in heart and soul
I am living proof
That you never know with me
I am living proof
In my world of agony

Kings of the Valley
06:04
|
|||
Long ago, living by the lake of salt
Here in this desert city, a dream came to form
Like knights on a crusade, we sought out to prove them wrong
They said we would fall
That no one would care
And after all this time
We out lived them all
We are kings of the valley
Standing strong against the times
Mountains to the east and mountains to the west
Surrounded by all those that refused to believe
But we converted them, with words and a song
They said we would fall
That no one would care
And after all this time
We out lived them all
We are kings of the valley
Standing strong against the times
We are kings of the valley
Forging the blade of our lives
They said we would fall
That no one would care
And after all this time
We out lived them all
We are kings of the valley
Standing strong against the times
We are kings of the valley
Forging the blade of our lives

Forlorn Child
03:23
|
|||
They have come for her
This forlorn child
Removed from the mother
Enslaved by the drug
A Desperate Father tries
Fighting against the tide
This father had no choice
Stigmatized by society
A quandary of our time
Life or Law, what will it be?
They have come for her
This forlorn child
Returned to the mother
destroyed by the drug
This father had no choice
Stigmatized by society
A quandary of our time
Life or Law, what will it be?
A despereate father cries
Too late to save the child
They have come for her
This forlorn child
Buried in the ground
Returned to the gods
This father had no choice
Stigmatized by society
A quandary of our time
Life or Law, what will it be?

Can You Hear Them
05:42
|
|||
When you gaze up to the stars
In the pale silence of the night
How things change as you get old
Wondering if your dreams take you home
Can you hear them speaking your name
Alone in the dark, reaching out from the past
Tell who you are
Can you hear them speaking your name
Tomorrow, like days gone by
Tell who you
Away from friends and family
Following the only road you see
Did it take you as far as you thought
Can you hear them speaking your name
Alone in the dark, reaching out from the past
Tell who you are
Can you hear them speaking your name
Tomorrow, like days gone by
Tell who you
Obsessive pride takes its toll
Going down that lonely road
Standing at the crossroads of your life
Can you hear them speaking your name
Alone in the dark, reaching out from the past
Tell who you are
Can you hear them speaking your name
Tomorrow, like days gone by
Tell who you
Can you hear them speaking your name
Alone in the dark, reaching out from the past
Tell who you are
Can you hear them speaking your name
Tomorrow, like days gone by, Tell who you

No Matter What
06:29

I have watched from a distance
Your reaction to this evolution
No, you can't please everyone
You feel that it should be done
I'll do things my way, no matter what the cost
My satisfaction outweighs this dissension
No loss, No heart is broken
No time to face the fears or lies
No loss, No heart is broken
No time to face the fears or lies
I won't change my words or ways
Accept my terms or just walk away
I'll do things my way, no matter what the cost
My satisfaction outweighs this dissension
I have read your words of wisdom
And your critiques fail to realize...
I'll do things my way, no matter what the cost
My satisfaction outweighs this dissension
No loss, No heart is broken
No time to face the fears or lies
No loss, No heart is broken
No time to face the fears or lies
No loss, No heart is broken
No time to face the fears or lies
No loss, No heart is broken
No time to face the fears or lies

Do you hear all the voices
Are they chanting out as one
Raise your fist into the air and shout!
Can you feel all the power
Is it pulsing in your veins
Yell it together –
Heavy metal’s in your blood, The blood in your veins
Heavy metal’s in my blood, The blood in my veins
The music is it in you
Is it making your heart pound
Raise your fist into the air and shout!
Looking out at the faces
See the fire in your eyes
Rise up your horns
Heavy metal’s in your blood, The blood in your veins
Heavy metal’s in my blood, The blood in my veins
We, we live to play for you
We, we live to play for you
Laying it down
We, we live to play for you,
We, we live to play for you,
Laying it down
You pay your money, and you stand in line
Hoping that it’s worth it every time
The lights go out, and the band his on the stage
You feel the power, you feel the rage
Pound the stage to the rhythm
Bang your head and scream for more
Raise your fist into the air and shout!
Do you hear all the voices
Are they chanting out as one
Heavy metal’s in my blood, The blood in my veins
Heavy metal’s in my blood, The blood in my veins
We, we live to play for you, Laying it down
We, we live to play for you
You pay your money, and you stand in line
Hoping that it’s worth it every time

All the leaders have fallen
Screams death ring into the sky
Dungeon steel keeps on calling
Bloodstained walls and the keeper of death
I rise among you; I hold the cold steel in my hands
Insane leaders who live in fear of her
Evil Princess coming for you
Beware of her evil glances
Headless children, killing, torture
Burning corpses, evil princess
Her crimson eyes blaze like fire
Her hair like knives drape to her thighs
As she gazes in her crystal
He anger builds and she blows her mind
Black magic bitch, destroying everyone in her way
She lives in blood, from the dead king she stole from them
Evil Princess coming for you
Beware of her evil glances
Headless children, killing, torture
Burning corpses, evil princess
Evil Princess coming for you
Beware of her evil glances
Headless children, killing, torture
Burning corpses, evil princess
