In the silence of the void I pray for you In the silence of the void I bleed for you You think that you're the only one Nothing but you Like a bullet from a gun Take it for you Can't see the good in anyone What can I do? On your own under the sun I can't break through In the silence of the void I pray for you In the silence of the void I bleed for you Like a bullet from a gun Like a bullet from a gun Like a bullet from ... Like a bullet from ... Like a bullet from ...

We couldn't live together You hated all my friends My family tried to like you Only I could see what you might have been You never said you loved me Was I a fool? I blame myself Why'd you disappear? All along it seems to me you didn't care Did I support your dreams? Was I too blind to see? Morning rain on my window Black clouds shut out the sun Endless days since you left me I love you, love you, love you Morning rain on my window Black clouds shut out the sun Endless days since you left me I love you, love you, love you Now you're gone Life goes on, what can I do? Seems pointless without you My family don't understand All the better if you never see her again My tears wet my pillow We were kids in wonderland My friends say I'm well rid Hope you don't destroy another man Another night alone Don't know where you've gone Morning rain on my window Black clouds shut out the sun Endless days since you left me I love you, love you, love you Morning rain on my window Black clouds shut out the sun Endless days since you left me I love you, love you, love you I love you, love you, love you Now you're gone Now you're gone Now you're gone

Wherever you go, I will follow To the top of the mountain, to the depths of the sea I'm telling you now, there's no other for me Your hair of spun gold, your eyes so bright blue No one has beauty like you You light up my life, I can't resist Do you remember our first kiss? A boy and a girl, both still at school You laughed and you smiled, I played the fool I never forgot you when I moved away, Now that I've found you, is it too late? Too late Is it too late? A boy and a girl, both still at school You laughed and you smiled, I played the fool I never forgot you when I moved away, Now that I've found you, is it too late? Too late Too late Too late Is it too late? Wherever you go, I will follow To the top of the mountain, to the depths of the sea I'm telling you now, there's no other for me

You'll regret it if you cross me It's a sight you don't wanna see We've been through all this before You never seem to understand me Need to break the code to set myself free As I welcome the unknown In the midnight hour In the pouring rain Knock, knock, knockin' at your door When I break inside Chains may be gone but my hands are tied Need somewhere to lay me down On the streets of gold Let the light be my guide Walk the streets of gold today Always wanting more Never take my eye from the prize Keep on searching for the way The way The way Creeping slowly down the hallway Thinking about what you're gonna say Evil lingers in your eye Got to choose between the two ways The flaming circle of the old days All set up to bring me down Time, it takes its toll Been a while since I lost control Nothing more that you can say Have mercy on my soul Can't find a way to fill that hole You can't count the price I paid I paid On the streets of gold Let the light be my guide Walk the streets of gold today Always wanting more Never take my eye from the prize Keep on searching for the way The way The way On the streets of gold Let the light be my guide Walk the streets of gold today Always wanting more Never take my eye from the prize Keep on searching for the way On the streets of gold Let the light be my guide Walk the streets of gold today Always wanting more Never take my eye from the prize Keep on searching for the way The way The way

Time to seal your fate I hit the final nail Left to suffocate In your own hell Time to seal your fate I hit the final nail Left to suffocate In your own hell No, I won't be denied Your luck's run out No more do or die This time around No, I won't be denied Your luck's run out No more do or die This time around Left to suffocate Left to suffocate Left to suffer Left to suffocate

Nightmare 02:44
Nowhere left to run - time is running out Nowhere left to run - time is running out Throw me a lifeline - I'm in way too deep Nowhere left to run - time is running out In the days gone by, life without a care In the days gone by, life without a care All the things we touched and all the things we shared In the days gone by, life without a care It's a nightmare for real Nightmare for real Nightmare for real All inside my head Nightmare for real Nightmare for real Nightmare for real All inside my head Time to face the truth - all the things you said Time to face the truth - all the things you said Hoping for some solace on the road ahead Time to face the truth - all the things you said It's a nightmare for real Nightmare for real Nightmare for real All inside my head Nightmare for real Nightmare for real Nightmare for real All inside my head Nightmare Nightmare Nightmare All inside my head Nightmare for real Nightmare for real Nightmare for real I left you there for dead I left you there for dead I left you there for dead

Time moves on but it's so slow Hours seem to turn into days You're always keen on the get-go Others stand in your way Hey brother I see you Keep your hands way down by your side There's nothing here to get into Belted up for the ride In your bones In your head Living life on the edge In your bones In your head You're a superstar Oh, oh Always on the run, you're never found Oh, oh Running out of gas, lose your crown Lose your crown You have your breakfast served on a mirror Can't be pleased with what you see You're staring at the face of a failure Nothing's the way it should be You need something to help you Move away from the dark Needing someone to guide you But it's too late to make your mark In your bones In your head Living life on the edge In your bones In your head You're a superstar Oh, oh Always on the run, you're never found Oh, oh Running out of gas, lose your crown Lose your crown Oh, it's a breakdown Always on the run, you're never found Oh, it's a breakdown Running out of gas, lose your crown Lose your crown

It all began so long ago Lost the will, stuck in a hole Always fearing what he said Never got back what he stole All that time for no reward The years have passed, your faith restored Loyalty prolonged your stay Affection you could ill afford You never let your feelings show Always kept them down below Forever waiting for the day For him to pay back what he owed No gratitude for anything Made you treat him like a king Found the strength - you didn't obey Finally you cut the strings No gratitude for anything Made you treat him like a king Found the strength - you didn't obey Finally you cut the strings Finally you cut the strings Moving on to better things Finally you cut the strings So long ago Stuck in a hole What did he say? And what he stole So long ago Stuck in a hole What did he say? And what he stole

A simple plan, to overpower On their knees, trampled like flowers Survival by desire Buildings set on fire You don't know what's required Don't know what you've done Oh, oh, oh, shelter from the storm Oh all night, it rages on Don't see no ending Can't see no score Tell me the reason Go, God, go Oh, get the sinners told In the sun, rolling tanks There is no choice - engage, attack All your friends are falling Buildings set on fire The whole world sits there watching Like it's a show Oh, oh, oh, shelter from the storm Oh all night, it rages on Don't see no ending Can't see no score Tell me the reason Go, God, go Oh, get the sinners told Oh, oh, oh, shelter from the storm Oh all night, the rage goes on Don't see no ending Can't see no score Tell me the reason Go, God, go Oh, get the sinners told Oh, oh, oh, shelter from the storm Oh all night, it rages on Don't see no ending Can't see no score Tell me the reason Go, God, go Oh, get the sinners told Get the sinners told Get the sinners told Get the sinners told Get the sinners told

Cheating 02:29
You didn't hear me I made no noise I had to leave you Left me no choice With your cheating All your cheating You thought I didn't know About your cheating All your cheating So now you've got to go Don't try to phone me Don't try to write Don't want no quarrel Don't want no fight But your cheating All this cheating You thought I didn't know About your cheating All your cheating So now you've got to go You'd better go I hope you're happy With your new man I'm moving on now Don't give a damn Cos I've been cheating I've been cheating I've been cheating all along I've been cheating Always cheating And you didn't know About my cheating All my cheating I've been cheating all along Yeah, I've been cheating Always cheating And you didn't know So now it's cheerio I guess, I guess it's time to go

This day won't last forever This day won't last - she'll soon be gone When you hear the door slam Take a breath, you're on your own You've finally doused the fire Blinded by the light when you tripped that wire You're aiming so much higher Trapped in a room like a whippin' boy Always treated like a broken toy You've had enough Had enough - now you see The time has come to break the trend You've had enough Had enough - now you see It's the beginning of the end No, no-one lives forever Close your eyes - embrace the dawn No going back on your call No going back - what's done is done Situation, dire Tampered with the truth till you became the liar A victim of desire Trapped in the room - without a voice Too late to shout, you've made your choice You finally grew the balls to say You couldn't bear to live this way There's nothing here worth trying to save This has all gone way too far Now she knows just who you are But you can't outrun a scar, a scar, a scar

A boy and a girl, both still at school You laughed and you smiled, I played the fool I never forgot you when I moved away, Now that I've found you, is it too late? Too late Is it too late? Is it too . . . ? A boy and a girl, both still at school You laughed and you smiled, I played the fool I never forgot you when I moved away, Now that I've found you, is it too late? Too late Too late Too late Is it too late? Wherever you go, I will follow To the top of the mountain, to the depths of the sea I'm telling you now, there's no other for me
