Blessed Are the Strong

Do you think you have all the answers?
The path that you choose is much too hard to see.
Power in this world comes to those who take it.
There is a price for your spirit to be free.
You call the world’s riches “dead-end horizons”
What is this you offer instead?
Empty promises of glory in the afterlife,
I’ve seen men die who just stay dead.
What you see, you can have
“Might is right”, tell yourself.
No one can cause you harm
If you are bold and armed.
Blessed are the strong
For they have the power in life.
Cursed are the weak
The feeble shall never survive.
Realize.
You, of shallow faith, try to listen.
When I was blind, I searched in vain like you.
Power in this world comes to those who take it.
You want the world…
So come on and take it now.

Count Your Blessings

Looking at the danger
Looking face-to-face
Your friends are strangers
Caught up in the race.
Your money ain’t no good
Got nothing left to sell
Hands of Fate closed the gate
To your wishing well.
Count your blessings.
Watch that mirror as it falls
Seven years of bad luck is on.
You’re hearing voices
Your back’s against the wall
You’ve got two choices
Make a move or take a fall.
Fingers start twitching
Mind can’t concentrate
Step on back, can’t attack
Think about what’s at stake.
Count your blessings…
Gunpowder flashes
White rock burns
Cut loose those stashes
Some people never learn
Aim the gun at the mirror
‘Cause the mirror never lies
Not a pretty picture
But it’s too late to realize.
Aim the gun at the mirror
‘Cause the mirror never lies…
Aim the gun…
Count your blessings.

Rain

Cool is the water as it touches my face.
I hear distance thunder
Far, far away.
My love’s turned to anger
How can you stand there
Telling me that you don’t care?
You’re the love of my life
But your tongue’s like a knife
And it’s practically cut me in two.
Just when I’ve seen the light
It’s falling rain.
Just when I think I’ve found somebody
I’m alone.
Time is the answer which mends broken hearts.
But my body and soul
Has been pulled far apart.
My love’s turned to anger
How can you stand there
Telling me that you don’t care?
You’re the love of my life
But your tongue’s like a knife
And it’s practically cut me in two.

Borrowed Time
04:04

I see no light, only darkness everywhere
I can not fight, I’ve been beaten by despair.
Don’t you feel the world is spinning
Way out of control?
Something here has gotten out of hand.
Every day I’m searching for the reason and the rhyme
Don’t you feel like every day we’re running out of time?
Oh no – sometimes life is borrowed time.
Oh no – I keep searching for a sign.
Why do you grieve?
Why do you cry?
We can’t escape, we’ve been through all this before.
Just like a dream, reoccurring now once more.
Don’t you feel like time I slipping quickly through your hands
Like a thousand little particles of sand?
Can’t you feel it swirling just like water down the drain?
Faces flash before me – ones I’ll never see again.
Oh no – sometimes life is borrowed time.
Oh no – I keep searching for a sign.
Why do you grieve?
Why do you cry?

Too Late
04:53

In the heat of the day, in the blistering sun
I felt a quivering fear.
A figure appeared, like a ghost from the East
He told me that my time was near.
Don’t you remember in 1906 - the quake that descended that day?
We ran for our lives, but it happened too fast
Then everything faded away.
Don’t be afraid, don’t you deny
The fact we’re together again.
Too late – I thought I was dreaming
Too late – but it knew it was true
Too late – I can’t fight this feeling
You touched me and suddenly I knew.
I’ve known you before, it’s a feeling I get
Whenever I look in your eyes.
But why are we here, together again?
My God, I’ve just realized…
Don’t you remember in 1906, the quake turned the city to flames?
I held you so close, but you slipped thru my arms
My child…it drove me insane!
But no matter how long we survive in this life
I’ll watch over you ‘til the end.
Too late – I thought I was dreaming
Too late – But I knew it was true
Too late – I can’t fight the feeling
Too late – But I knew it was true
Too late – The fire burned brightly
Too late – But I knew it was true
Too late – The sirens were screaming
Too late – and suddenly I knew.

Hell Walks Laughing
05:01
|

Out on the street, we’re burning up
You’ve got a bitter taste in your loving cup.
Don’t want to run, don’t want to hide
Just want to take it all in your stride.
Just when you think you’ve made your smoothest move,
Hell walks laughing.
Kick your gears into an Easy Street groove,
Hell walks laughing
Walking…right at you!
Shifting gears, trying to lose your fears.
Careless talk, you don’t care who hears.
You want to run, you want to hide
Just wish you had a little more time.
Just when you think you’ve made your smoothest move,
Hell walks laughing.
Kick your gears into an Easy Street groove,
Hell walks laughing
Walking…right at you!
Just when you think you’ve played your smartest hand,
Hell walks laughing.
Just when you think it’s time to take a stand,
Hell walks laughing.

Scream Out
04:05
|

|
At my insistence
Without resistance
You came to me one summer’s night.
Animal attraction
Sweet satisfaction
My passion roars, it’s soaring high.
Then, I call out your name
And I’m asking those questions again and again.
Is it some kind of game?
I can’t keep holding on.
Scream out
It’s too much pain – can’t take it again.
Scream out
It’s too much pain – when will it end?
Full moon is rising
So mesmerizing
I’m holding on for my dear life.
Can’t stop the fire
It’s burning brighter
I look into your eyes and drown.
Then, I call out your name…
Scream out…
When your love comes falling down
Like an avalanche of pain
Hold me closer, don’t let go
And don’t keep saying her name!
Scream out…
