Nightfall she's watching me
with shining eyes in the dark
Nightmare entangle me
like a stone to the spark

Whoa, she is magic and I'm under her spell
don't believe a word

She's a liar in love
Yeah she treats me like a fool
she's a liar in love

Chained down with affection
she shot me straight through the heart
Sorrow is a woman
and I knew from the start

Whoa, she's the magic I sense in the air
but don't believe a word

She's a liar in love
Yeah she's got me on my knees
she's a liar, a liar in love

Don't believe a word
She's a liar in love
Yeah she plays me like a fool
She's a liar
A liar in love yes
Well she's got me on my knees I'm begging darling please for love
Woman, woman, oh.. Woman
				

(Narration)
In the mouth of evil I am the tongue that bleeds
in the jaws of death I hold the gun of greed
now fall in line

They say I'm twisted and my mind is on the run
I am a sacrificial number
I see their faces when I close my burning eyes
I feel their voices getting louder
Marching on we're hypnotized
and when the day turns into night

I am dehumanized you point and I collect
Metal-head puppets are leading
another charge of madness walking into certain death
Flashes in the clouds I heard them screaming
No
screaming no

Fall, fall in line
Give up your own pride
all for something greater than you and I
Fall in line
Time after time I pray for certain death to grace me
with her light

Wait, don't neglect
your own promise to serve and protect
Move out, forget
in the name of a nation, forgive me

Fall in line

Marching on we're hypnotized
and when the day begins to die

Fall, fall in line
give up your own pride
all for something greater than you and I
Fall in line
Time after time I pray for certain death to grace me
with her light

On and on and on we fall in line
But why?
We're falling in line
				

Pain
I can't live without the pain
When there's trouble on the rise
A truth behind the lie
I'll be watching you
When you cry a river tell me do you swim
On the stormy seas around you
Spent your whole life in search the key that you swallowed
Now welcome the pain

Locked inside your own mind
you're dancing in the garden of Eden
When you touch the fire
you are the smoke inside of your own lie
Now watch as your dreams turn to

Black is not the answer
when the light has left to die
and now the light is nearly gone
Truth is a liar
that feeds on the promise you swallow
and here it comes again

Pain
Oh, no, no, no, no
no, no, no, no

Locked inside your own mind
you're dancing in the garden of Eden
When you touch the fire
you are the smoke inside of your
Watch as your dreams turn to black
Locked inside your own mind
you're dancing in the garden of Eden
Watch as your dreams turn to
				

Beyond the illusion
the fantasy of fools where
the old ones sail away
on the shadows of the new
scream and shout
but know that before
too late you'll hear the cry of the damned

Oh, we rise and fall together in a perfect harmony
the search goes on forever we're lost in chains
Hear the cries

Deny the confusion
throw away the key
Don't hide inside the cobwebs you call home
You bleed, you cut, you'll see
now it's too late to fear the cry of the damned

Oh, we rise and fall together in a perfect harmony
the search goes on forever we're lost in chains
hear the cries

Hear them crying
cry, cry, cry it out

Oh, we rise and fall together
in a perfect harmony
the search goes on
forever we're lost in chains
Do you know of the shadows over heaven and the magic under hell
We rise and fall
together we're lost
Hear the cries
cutting through the night
There was no warning
Have they lost their eyes
Cry of the damned
Beyond the illusion
the fantasy of fools where
the old ones sail away
on the shadows of the new
scream and shout
but know that before
too late you’ll hear the cry of the damned

Oh, we rise and fall together in a perfect harmony
the search goes on forever we’re lost in chains
Hear the cries

Deny the confusion
throw away the key
Don’t hide inside the cobwebs you call home
You bleed, you cut, you’ll see
now it’s too late to fear the cry of the damned

Oh, we rise and fall together in a perfect harmony
the search goes on forever we’re lost in chains
hear the cries

Hear them crying
cry, cry, cry it out

Oh, we rise and fall together
in a perfect harmony
the search goes on
forever we’re lost in chains
Do you know of the shadows over heaven and the magic under hell
We rise and fall
together we’re lost
Hear the cries
cutting through the night
There was no warning
Have they lost their eyes
Cry of the damned
				

She loves the rain
falling on her golden hair
She'd kiss the pain
to greet him with a smile
She starts her day
walking in his shadow
but she loves him anyway
Will she ever say goodbye

She cries
lonely is the night
she cries
She falls to watch him rise
she cries

Another bottle
smashes to the ground
Quickly down she follows
thinking of a time
when she was gleaming
the world was at her door
then "come to me" he calls to her
like so many times before

She cries
lonely is the night
she cries
as she falls to watch him rise

Words can never tell
the secrets of the heart
Living for his pleasure
she always plays the part
A man of many faces
a man of many rules
seven years of deprivation
well now his end is coming soon

Waiting by the table
By midnight he was home
Grabbed her by the waist
then he felt the gun below
He shook his head in laughter
he said "do it if you dare"
One moment passed in silence
then the sound of vengeance
filled the air

She'll cry no longer
She'll never fall again

oh, yeah

A thousand miles away
looking out the window now
she'll kiss the ball and chain
but she's free forevermore
She loves the rain
falling on her golden hair
She's breaking out of heaven
and the storms of yesterday
will fade away
				

Ruler of the desert
Queen of flesh and bone
She turned the wine to water
turned the mountain into stone
She paved the world in fire
casting shadows on the ground
She watched the flame devour
Yeah she stained the sand with blood

Whoa
The sky was full of dust
The lady of the lost

She wrote the book of evil
she practiced every sin
She spoke in tongues of poison
of a prophecy fulfilled

Whoa
The sky was full of dust
The lady of the lost

See her standing lonely
singing to the stars
she sings;
lift me up and take me away aha
She used to walk on rainbows
She had diamonds in her eyes
She paved the world in sunshine
now the sun has left to die

Whoa
The sky was full of dust
Can't have the price without the cost
No,
the lady of the lost
Ruler of the desert
The queen of flesh and bone
No
She stained the sand with blood
yeah
The lady of the lost
				

She whispers softly
covered in my hands
with a touch of evil
she's bad, bad, bad
Looks of a wild-cat
looks that can kill
Tease me baby please me
Hunger growing still

Thrills that will get ya
Thrills that will please
Down-low and dirty
she's been tainted by the beast
Eyes in the night
looking dead at me
on my back when dominance
has got me on my knees

She knows what love can be
She knows what love can be
She knows, oh she knows
She knows, oh yeah she knows
She knows what love can be
yeah

Loaded hips are moving
up and down on me
This game of devotion
I want to be your slave
Leather and lace
She's a hurricane
I'll be damned if she gets me
damned is what I want to be

She knows what love can be
She knows how love should feel
She knows what love can be
She knows, oh she knows
She knows, oh yeah she knows
she knows what love can be
She whispers softly
Covered in my hand
With a touch of evil
She's bad, bad, bad
Looks of a wild-cat
Looks that can kill
Tease me baby please me
Hunger growing still

Thrills that will get ya
Thrills that will please
Down-low and dirty
She's been tainted by the beast
Eyes in the night
Looking dead at me
On my back when dominance
Has got me on my knees

She knows what love can be
She knows what love can be
She knows, oh she knows
She knows, oh yeah she knows
She knows what love can be
Yeah

Loaded hips are moving
Up and down on me
This game of devotion
I want to be your slave
Leather and lace
She's a hurricane
I'll be damned if she gets me
Damned is what I want to be

She knows what love can be
She knows what love can be
She knows, oh she knows
She knows, oh yeah she knows
She knows what love can be
				

Chasing shadows in the dark
lightning in the sky
a flash of a different time
If I could see clear underneath the moon
would I belong here
or am I too far gone

Once I was happy
once I believed
a stomach filled with laughter
could move mountains and the seas
Now I lay here chained onto the ground
thoughts weighing heavy breaking my body down

Defeated in a war of one
mindless spirit fallen to the ground
As I lay here these chains are all I know
I watch the world go by
I've come undone

We fly in broken circles
over mountains never asking why
our fields are made of flowers
a place where eagles come to die

In dreams we hold the answer to rise above
lost eyes that see tomorrow
on wings of heaven lost in time

Once I was happy now I can feel
the darkness of my own mind
deeper than the sea
Voiceless screaming
it's killing me
inside the boy is bleeding
falling to his knees

Defeated in a war of one
mindless spirit fallen to the ground
As I lay here these chains are all I know
I watch the world go by
I have become
Defeated in a war of one
mindless spirit fallen to the ground
As I lay here these chains are all I know
I watch the world go by
I have become
the slave of sorrows
				

Two years blinded by nightmares
locked inside an iron cage
Bars of steel chains around her ankles
knowing well she'll never be the same
bringing her back will raise hell onto heaven my friend
the night of his fate she was branded
for all eternity

Time held still, bells began to chime
don't cry, don't cry
When the flame burns out life can start again
at the gates of
the gates of twilight
oh well

Calling out at night you long for the gates of twilight
a city of Eden where chains can be broken at first sight, yeah

To cleanse your mind
forget your past life, you must die
To crack the stone and break the code
let it go, let it go
Realize, see the lies, no more hunger
see the dust not the sand
You're the rise and the fall of a future white

There a flower dies
take me there she cries
bells began to chime
When the time is right to close your eyes a flower dies
just like you and I
when the time is right
take me there we all fall down sometime
Time held still bells began to chime
Don't cry, don't cry
The flame burned out life had come again
at the gates of
the gates of, of, of
at the gates
they're at the gates
the gates of twilight
				

Two arrows flying
flying free their time had come
into the valley of the shadow and the sun
they are black, they are the white,
they are the fear inside the darkness of the light
that isn't there
Can't be seen what can't be known
can't burn the fire trapped inside a flaming soul
Close your eyes, you can see
more than you thought that life could be
we're all dreamers in a distant harmony

So they came from distant lands
all around the world to see
the wolf was howling and the eagle flying free
Throwing caution to the wind
became a journey with no end
knowing life and death is all just one
as they cruise into the sun

We are the wolf that's left to die
rejoice
and don't you cry
We rise

We joke, we cry
We fade until we die
We rise, we rise
We joke, we cry
We fade until we die
We rise
into the sun
