Can you feel it
When the hammer comes down
Ride the storm
Can't hold it
Fire in my soul
Do angels die
Crossing the line
Dark shade of grey
Pushing me
Gimme a shot
Keep it coming
Can you feel it
Tell me, tell me can you feel it, go from a whisper to a scream
The look in your eyes bears a clever disguise
But your touch lets me know what you feel - I know what you mean, honey

If you let me look inside dear, I won't waste your precious time, no no
The night holds the answer to your darkest fears
But the pleasures are all in your mind - the pleasure is in your mind

Solitary passions, all alone dear
Feel the tensions of the world outside, oh yeah
I can see you drowning in your own tears
As you hold on, hold on to your pride

Can you feel it? Tell me can you feel it

Promise I could never steal it, precious moments of a time
Just hold on to what I'm giving to you, 'cause the truth is so hard to find
'Cause the truth is so hard to find

Look into my eyes dear, 'cause it's so clear
See the sparks as they turn to flames - yeah yeah
Silence is demise dear, when you're so near
I need an answer, answer, make it clear

Can you feel it? Tell me, can you feel it

(Solo)

Can't you feel that I am searchin', in your heart and in your mind
If you're ever confused by the words that I use
Just a touch makes it clear everytime

Open up your mind girl, to a new world
It's a feeling I just can't explain
Look into the fusion, no illusion
When you're so near, so clear, it's all the same

Can you feel it? Can you feel it

(Can you feel it?) Can you feel it now now now
(Feel it, feel it) Feel it when the morning comes
(Can you feel it?) Can you feel it now now
(Feel it, feel it) Tell me, tell me
(Can you feel it?) Goes from a whisper to a scream
(Can you feel it, feel it) Yeah in your eyes
(Can you feel it?) It's a clever disguise
(Can you feel it?) Can you feel it?

When the hammer comes down
Another day, another night, they just fade away
I can't seem to read the signs, might have lost my way
I might have lost my way

Looking through the clouds of grey, I can see their hands
Telling me that I can't stay, in their no man's land, in their no man's land

Time's tight with all my might, tryin' to beat my deadlines
All night wide awake, hanging on a lifeline
Hold on, hold on, should have seen it comin'

Shakedown in my mind, who decides what's wrong or right
Reject, face the facts, honesty is hard to find
Rollin', rollin', rollin' with the punches

Chorus:
When the night comes, yeah, I should be on the streets
But when the hammer comes down - everytime
I wanna hide deep in this soul of mine
When the hammer comes down - everytime, it blows my mind

It blows my mind

One foot on the train, one foot on the platform
Run the race, play the game, all is fair in love and war
Rollin', rollin', rollin' with the punches

(chorus)

(When the hammer comes down, when the hammer comes down)

(Solo)

Looking through the clouds of grey, I can see their hands
Telling me that I can't stay, in their no man's land, in their no man's land

Judas kiss, cold lips, look me right in the eye
Smile at you, daylight, stab you in the back at night
Take it, take it, take it if you want it

When the night comes, and it comes, I should be on the streets
But when the hammer comes down - everytime
I wanna hide deep in this soul of mine
When the hammer comes down - everytime, it blows my mind
I wanna hide deep in this soul of mine
But when the hammer comes down - everytime, it blows my mind
When the hammer comes down - everytime
I wanna hide deep in this soul of mine
But when the hammer comes down - everytime, it blows my mind

(Blows my mind) (repeats)

Ride the storm
There are times you're flyin', there are times you burn
Sometimes you feel like dyin', there's so much to learn, now baby
You tell me that you suffer, tell me that you're sad
Take a look around you baby, things can't be that bad

Chorus:
Ride the wind, ride the storm, take your life in your own hands
'Cause you know each man is born alone

Is born alone

Don't waste your time with waiting for the clouds to clear
Don't waste your time hesitating, live a life of fear
'Cause you're the one, you're the one, yeah it's all in own hands
Hold on to your fantasies, hold on, hold on

(chorus)

Ride the wind, ride the storm, spread your wings across the sky, yeah
It's your turn to fly on your own
All alone on your own, yeah you gotta fly
You just gotta let it go, let it go
'Cause in your mind, yeah yeah, it's time to fly

(Solo)

Ride the wind, won't you ride the storm, take your life in your own hands
'Cause you know each man is born alone
Ride the wind, yeah won't you ride the storm, spread your wings across the sky
'Cause it's your turn to fly on your own, on your own

Can't hold it
Just a human being, I've had more than enough
Feelin' like a punchin' bag, feeling pretty rough
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide anymore what I feel inside

Can't take it any longer, can't take it anymore
The feeling's getting stronger, just gotta let it go (just gotta let it go)

I knew where I was going, I knew where I had been (I knew where I had been)
Now it feels I'm swimming, swimming upstream

Chorus:
Can't hold it, hold it, gotta let it go, gotta let it go
Can't hold it, hold it, gotta let it go

Feeling like I'm keepin' all torn up inside
Life has got you running, but you just can't hide
I'm free, I'm free, I'm free from the bondage of reality

Things that I believe in, things that I respect (things that I respect)
Seem to lose their meaning, vanish in the mess

(chorus)

Can't hold it, hold it, gotta let it go

Just a human being, I've had more than enough
I'm feelin' like a punchin' bag, feeling pretty rough
I can't hide, I can't hide, I can't hide anymore what I feel inside

Used to have direction, used to have my goals
Ain't no satisfaction, in running into walls

(chorus repeats 2x)

Gotta let it go, gotta let it go

Fire in my soul
So many questions, uncertainties, they're tryin' to get me slowly to my knees
And time is slippin' away
My vision's cloudy, I'm filled with doubt
My soul is burning, a flame I can't put out
And time is slippin' away, time is slippin' away

Well the sun is shining, black skies I see
As I look in the mirror, who is that looking back at me?
Well I'm losing the focus, as I try to cop a plea
Won't you please stop the hurtin', won't you set me free, yeah yeah
Oh, won't you set me free

Well I feel like I'm slippin', my mind starts a trippin'
I can see that I'm spacin', 'cause I know that I'm facin' it all
Well I'm feeling so uncertain, what's coming over me
Well I can't stop the hurting, it's getting hard to see, yeah yeah
Oh, so hard to see

Chorus:
There's a fire in my soul, I can't put it out, as it burns through my heart
There's a fire in my soul, can't put it out, I can't put it out

As I'm siftin' through confusion, I'm searchin' for the light
I'm falling deeper, I just wish I could sleep through the night, all right
Can I make it through the night

(chorus)

My vision's cloudy, I'm filled with doubt
My soul is burning, a flame I can't put out
And time is slippin' away

(chorus)

(Solo)

My vision's cloudy, I'm filled with doubt
My soul is burning, a flame I can't put out
And time is slippin' away

(chorus)

There's a fire in my soul, and it's burning through my heart
There's a fire, there's a fire, there's a fire in my soul, oh yeah
And it's burning, burning, yeah

Do angels die
There's a rose that grows up through the pavement
She's reachin' for the sky, but she knows
She's lost in a world that has no pity
It's all to keep the rats from your door

But in her dreams, it's hard to tell the fringe from the seams
And then she cries, do angels die

Chorus:
Everything she wants, everything she needs
It's hard to reach the sky, when you're on your knees
Everything she wants, everything she needs
Reachin' for it all, but she's in too deep

Now all her friends, the hookers and the prancers
They're tryin' to find the sense in it all
But she knows, that nobody has the answers
And no one gives a damn when you fall

She understands, you never get the blood off your hands
And then she cries, do angels die

(chorus)

(Solo)

And then she cries, do angels die

(chorus)

Reachin' for it all, but she's in too deep

Do angels die, do angels cry, cry cry cry, do they cry
Do you hear them cry as they're falling down, do they make a sound...

(Everything she wants, everything she needs) (repeats out)

Crossing the line

Dark shade of grey
There's a shadow in my life, between the black and white
And it's blocking out the light
I listened to what you said, it still echoes in my head
As I lie alone in bed

In the thickness of a line, there's a distance undefined
The confusion's got me blind

A dark shade of grey, tried to understand the things you say
As you throw it all away, yeah
It's a dark shade of grey, there's got to be another way
To hang on for one more day

So won't you please explain, why the sunshine turns to rain
Why the pleasure turns to pain
I need for you to say, when your heart began to stray
When the fires, they've all burned away

As I look back in my mind, could I really be so blind
I guess I, I guess I missed the signs

It's a dark shade of grey, tried to understand the things you say
As you throw it all away, yeah
Now it's a dark shade of grey, there's got to be another way
To hang on for one more day

(Solo)

Oh, I'm so blinded now

Well you know it's never clear, when emotions interfere
When you give in to the tears
In the dark it's hard to see, when a heart begins to bleed
It's got me, it's got me fallin' right down to my knees

Now it's a dark shade of grey, tried to understand the things you say
Don't you throw it away, don't you throw it now
Now it's a dark shade of grey, there's got to be another way
To hang on for one more day

Oh, baby baby baby baby, there's a dark, there's a dark shade of grey now baby
While the sunshine turns to rain, while it turns to pain
('Cause it's a focus in the place) oh baby
Can't you feel it, can't you feel the cryin' for me and you now... (to fade)

Pushing me
All I ever need seems so easy to get now
Doesn't seem so abstract now it's right in front of me
Easy to please, a ball of wax in your hands now
Don't tell me just when it ends now, maybe I don't wanna know
Chorus:
Keep it comin', I just wanna know how much I can take
Keep it comin', gotta let it go, dontcha hesitate
I ain't satisfied with a piece of the action
I won't need no directions, I think I know where to go, just where to go
(chorus)
Keep it comin', I just wanna know how much I can take
In my mind I've crossed the line, I know what I'm fighting for
It's clear to me that all I need, is a chance to breathe
(Solo)
Giving all you've got, it ain't so hard to do now
You take it just as it comes now, so give it your best shot
Right off the top
(chorus)
Keep it comin', I just wanna know how much I, how much I can take
Keep it comin', gotta let it go, let it go, let it go now
Keep it comin', all I ever need now, need now
Keep it comin', it seems so easy, so easy to me
Keep it comin', girl you gotta let it go yeah, gotta let it go now baby
Keep it comin', come on, come on, come on, come on

Gimme a shot
These days I wanna hide away, stick my head in the sand
Well nothing makes me wanna stay, is this the promised land?

It's dog eat dog all over the world, a life ain't worth a damn
Fingers pointing, accusations flyin', nobody makes a stand

Chorus:
Gotta get me a shot, gotta get me a shot, a shot of something
Gotta get me a shot, gotta get me a shot, a shot of something

Gimme a shot of faith, a shot of confidence, a shot of something
A shot of something

All I want is some sympathy, peace of mind for you and me
In all this chaos still I need to know, where is the road that leads me home?

(chorus)

Gimme a shot of faith, a shot of confidence

(A shot of something) I gotta find some peace of mind
(A shot of something) a shot of light into my life
(A shot of something) I'll fight the fight to get things right
(A shot of something) All right

(Solo)

Blind leads blind right to the grave, leaders lie with a smiling face
Dawn or daybreak or forever dark, who knows just where we are?

(chorus repeats 2x)

A shot of faith, a shot of confidence, I gotta find some peace of mind
