1. We Rock

You watch their faces You’ll see the traces Of the things they want to be But only we can see

They come for killing They leave and still it seems The cloud that’s left behind Oh can penetrate your mind

But sail on sing a song carry on Cause We Rock We Rock We Rock We Rock

We pray to someone But when it’s said and done It’s really all the same With just a different name

So many voices All giving choices If we listen they will say Oh we can find the way

But we’ll sail on sing a song carry on Cause We Rock We rock We Rock We Rock We Rock We Rock We Rock We Rock We Rock!

We Rock You watch their faces You’ll see the traces Of the things they want to be But only we can see

They come for killing They leave and still it seems The cloud that’s left behind Can penetrate your mind

Sail on sing a song carry on Cause We Rock We Rock We Rock We Rock We Rock We Rock We Rock We Rock

Ride out stand and shout carry on Sail on Sing your song carry on

Cause We Rock We Rock, see how We Rock We Rock That’s rock We Rock We Rock

2. The Last In Line

We’re a ship without a storm The cold without the warm Light inside the darkness that it needs yeah

We’re a laugh without a tear The hope without the fear We are coming home

We’re off to the witch We may never never never come home But the magic that we’ll feel Is worth a lifetime

We’re all born upon the cross The throw before the toss You can release yourself But the only way is down

We don’t come alone We are fire we are stone We’re the hand that writes Then quickly moves away

We’ll know for the first time If we’re evil or divine We’re the last in line We’re the last in line

Two eyes from the east It’s the angel or the beast And the answer lies between The good and bad

We search for the truth We could die upon the tooth But the thrill of just the chase Is worth the pain

We’ll know for the first time If we’re evil or divine We’re the last in line We’re the last in line

We’re off to the witch We may never never never come home But the magic that we’ll feel Is worth a lifetime

We’re all born upon the cross The throw before the toss You can release yourself But the only way you go is down

We’ll know for the first time If we’re evil or divine We’re the last in line We’re the last in line

3. Breathless

You said a single word But no one really heard Sometimes we scream alone

It’s always worse at night When darkness kills the light We’re in the danger zone

You wait with pounding heart You know it’s just the start

Cause you’re Breathless ready to burn Breathless willing to learn Breathless the circle still turns You’re Breathless

Living inside your mind Who knows the things you’ll find There could be hell or rainbows

But it’s a funny thing The more you feel the sting You’re just a leaf that the wind blows

You’ve been this way before One step and you’re through the door

And you’re Breathless ready to burn Breathless the circle still turns Breathless willing to learn You’re Breathless

You said a single word But no one really heard Sometimes we scream alone

It’s always worse at night When darkness kills the light We’re in the danger zone

You wait with pounding heart You know it’s just the start

Cause you’re Breathless ready to burn Breathless willing to learn Breathless the circle still turns You’re Breathless

Living inside your mind Who knows the things you’ll find There could be hell or rainbows

But it’s a funny thing The more you feel the sting You’re just a leaf that the wind blows

You’ve been this way before One step and you’re through the door

And you’re Breathless ready to burn Breathless the circle still turns Breathless willing to learn You’re Breathless

4. I Speed At Night

Dark touches send rushed through the brain Black’s whiter burns brighter than the flame No shadows just whispers in the wind No faces just places to begin I just come seeking pleasure I hate the light

I speed at night at night

My demons they seem to disappear No vision I only see to hear Protection I never needed none Direction just nowhere near the sun You’ve go some stairs to heaven you may be right I only know in my world I hate the light

I speed at night Dark touches send rushed through the brain Black’s whiter burns brighter than the flame No shadows just whispers in the wind No faces just places to begin I just come seeking pleasure I hate the light

I speed at night at night

My demons they seem to disappear No vision I only see to hear Protection I never needed none Direction just nowhere near the sun

You’ve go some stairs to heaven you may be right I only know in my world I hate the light

I speed at night

5. One Night In The City

Johnny was a dark child He was promised to us all But rides in the night can lift you out of sight When they call

Sally was a princess She was chosen for the crown But chains can’t stop the sound

Of one night in the city One night looking pretty

The someone opened doorways And Johnny slipped away Running for the bright where dark is always light But there’s no day

The princess saw the dark child And the dark child said her name

Come steal away we’ll play the game

Do you watch do you see do you know the people in me I’m the bite I’m the bark I’m the scream Are you poor are you sure are you holy are you pure I can tell you tales you just might not believe

One night in the city one night looking pretty One night in the city one night looking pretty The children shared the wonder Of the leather and the lace But one child went away and one child stayed to play

For one night in the city

6. Evil Eyes

Hide in the midnight Turn out the lights you’ll see them anyway Sail into never they’ll follow wherever you can go And take you to the places you don’t know

It’s the call of the city The way that black’s pretty to the purest heart It’s places of pleasure They promise you treasure if you fly And then there goes the soul of you and I

Oh do you ever think about The way I caught the rainbow I’ll be there where fire makes you dance I’m gonna give you the look That opens up the skies

I’ve got Evil Eyes

Hide in the midnight Turn out the light they’ll see you anyway Sail into never they’ll follow wherever you can go

I’ve got Evil Eyes

7. Mystery

Can you hear me Can you see There’s a storm on the edge of the sky Does it matter It does to me I can tell you why When there’s thunder there should be rain But it don’t always follow the rule And is the wise man always right? No he can play the fool

It’s always a Mystery not what it seems to be It’s always a Mystery just like you and me

We are lightning We are flame And we burn at the touch of a spark If there’s fire but no one sees The there’s only the dark

Just imagine will you try I can see that you’ve opened your mind Silver linings can disappear but they always shine

It’s always a Mystery not what it seems to be It’s always a Mystery just like you and me

8. Eat Your Heart Out

It’s been a long hot road I’ve been upon Through the desert of your soul I’ve looked high and low for water But it’s not there

All the promises of springtime Turned to lies so cold But I’m stronger than you know And I’ve come to let you go

Go eat your heart out You’ve been a bad bad girl You’ve been hungry all of your life So eat it out

I’ve been a prisoner just locked away Inside your velvet jail But it don’t matter at all Some things can grow without the light

Spinning cages for her pleasure Weaving chains to hold the prize Magic moments with the jailer All on fire and then he dies

Go eat your heart out You’ve been a bad bad girl You’ve been hungry all of your life So eat it out

We speed across emotions And then we lose our hold We move on wings of passion That we can’t control

It’s been a long hot road I’ve been upon Through the desert of your soul I’ve looked high and low for water But it’s not there

All the promises of springtime Turned to lies so cold But I’m stronger than you know And I’ve come to let you go

Go eat your heart out You’ve been a bad bad girl You’ve been hungry all of your life So eat it out

I’ve been a prisoner just locked away Inside your velvet jail But it don’t matter at all Some things can grow without the light

Spinning cages for her pleasure Weaving chains to hold the prize Magic moments with the jailer All on fire and then he dies

Go eat your heart out You’ve been a bad bad girl You’ve been hungry all of your life So eat it out

We speed across emotions And then we lose our hold We move on wings of passion That we can’t control

9. Egypt (The Chains Are On)

In the land of the lost horizon Where the queen lies dark and cold When the stars won’t shine then the story’s told

When the world was milk and honey And the magic was strong and true Then the strange ones came and the people knew

That the chains are on

In the land of no tomorrow Where you pray just to end each day And your life just slowly melts away

Each day you hear the sand as it moves and whispers Come and sail on my golden sea Maybe one day you’ll be just like me…and that’s free

But still your chains are on

You’ve seen them walking on the water You’ve seen flying through the sky They were frightening in the darkness They had rainbows in their eyes

When the world was milk and honey And the magic was strong and true The the strange ones came and the people knew

That the chains are on
