A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well
The darkened deliver, I shake and I shiver down your soul
You know what to cover, I think for another it's a story told
So get a good hold, yeah

Regiment fooled you, you thought that you knew who you are
A simple equation, that's the relation, but that's gone too far
A time of suspicion, a special condition that we all know
So let it all go!

Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!

Nighttime sorrow, taken like a pain
Black will not become a white, it's all the same
Evil lurks in twilight, dances in the dark
Makes you need the movement, like a fire needs a spark to burn!

A rumble of thunder, I'm suddenly under your spell
No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well
The darkened deliver, I shake and I shiver down your soul
So get a good hold, yeah

Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night, it feels so right!
Turn up the night!
Turn up the night!
If it feels right
Turn off the light!
Turn up the night!

Say you don't know me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't want me, you'll learn
Nothin' you do will be new, 'cause I'm through

Call me a liar, you knew
You were a fool, but that's cool, it's all right
Call me the Devil, it's true
Some can't accept but I crept inside you

So if a stranger calls you
Don't let him whisper his name
'Cause it's Voodoo, oh!

Fade into shadow, you'll burn
Your fortune is free, I can see it's no good
Never look back, never turn
It's a question of time 'till your mine and you learn

So if a stranger sees you
Don't look in his eyes
'Cause he's Voodoo!

Say you don't know me, you'll burn
You can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me
Say you don't want me, you'll learn
Nothin' you do will be new, 'cause I'm through

Voodoo!

Bring me your children, they'll burn!
Never look back, never turn!
Cry me a river, you'll learn Voodoo!!

. . .


If there isn't light when noone sees
How can I know what you might believe
A story told that cant be real
Somehow must reflect the truth we feel
Fade away fade away
Vanish into small
Fade away fade away
Break the crystal ball
Its the sign
On a small world west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere, all
There's a rainbow that will shimmer
When the summer falls
If an echo doesn't answer
When it hears a certain song
Then the beast is free to wander
But never seen around
Its the sign of the southern cross
Its the sign of the southern cross
Sail away
To the sea
From the book the word is spoken
Whispers from forgotten psalms
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong
Reach up above your dreams of pleasure
Give a life to those who die
Look beyond your own horizons
Sail the ship of sighs
Its the sign of the southern cross
Its the sign of the southern cross
Fade away fade away
Break the crystal ball
Fade away fade away
I can't accept it any more
On a real world west of wonder
Somewhere, nowhere, all
There's a rainbow, see it shimmer
When the summer falls
From the book the word is spoken
Whispers from forgotten psalms
Gather all around the young ones
They will make us strong
Its the sign of the southern cross
Its the sign of the southern cross
Dont live for pleasure
Make life your treasure
Fade away
Eight miles high, about to fall
And noone there to catch you
Look for the sign
The time
The sign of the southern cross
Fade off

[No lyrics]

Close the city and tell the people
That something's coming to call
Death and darkness are rushing forward
To stamp light from the wall!

Oh! You've nothing to say
They'll drag you away
If you listen to fools
The Mob Rules,The Mob Rules
Fools, The Mob Rules

Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded
The end is always the same
Play with fire, you'll burn your finger
And you'll get hold of the flame, oh!

It's over, it's done
The end has begun
If you listen to fools
The Mob Rules

You've nothing to say
Oh, They'll drag away
If you listen to fools...

Break the circle and stop the movement,
The wheel is thrown to the ground
Just remember it might stop rolling
And take you right back around!!!

You're all fools
The Mob Rules

Fell in love with a country girl, mornin'
Sunshine
She was up from a nether world, just to bust
Another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame unholy lady
Desire wore a special name, made to snatch
Your soul away, yeah

We sailed away on a crimson tide,
Down The River
Left my heart on the other side,
All to break it into bits
Her smile was a winter song,
A Sabbath ending
Don't sleep or you'll find me gone,
Just an image in the air, Oh Yeah

In dreams I think of you
I don't know what to do with myself
Time has left me down
She brings broken dreams, falling stars
The endless search for where you are
So wrong ,so wrong so wrong so wrong

Fell in love with a country girl, mornin'
Sunshine
She was up from a nether world, just to bust
Another soul
Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady
Desire with a special name, made to snatch
Your soul away, oh!

Don't sail away on a crimson tide!
Don't leave your heart on another side!
She rides on an endless flame
Desire wanna scratch your name
Don't ever fall in love!
Don't give your heart away!
Don't ever, never fall in love
With a country girl!



. . .


Slipping away, just a heartbeat from disaster
Nothing could make me stay, close your eyes and I'll be gone
Turn the page, yeah, time to start another story
Slipping away, slipping away, time to move along

No reason to stay
Oh, when I'm slipping away

Take a look at yourself, you've been running in a circle
Round and round you go, you're a start without an end
Start a new life, yeah, from the city of the gypsies
Running away, slipping away, right behind the plow

Slipping away
Slipping away
Nobody to pay
Look out, 'cause I'm slipping away

Rockin' the glass, I won't leave you my reflection
A future without a past, no more road to take me back
Come if you will, just don't question my direction
Running away, slipping away, we can find the sun

Slipping away
Slipping away
Got nobody to pay
And you're slippin' away

No more running in a circle
It's time to move along
Round, round, round we go
A start without an end
So I'm slipping away
Slipping away

. . .


I think about closing the door
And lately I think of it more
I'm living well out of my time
I feel like i'm losing my mind

I should be at the table round
A servant of the crown
The keeper of the sign
To sparkle and to shine

Never, no never again!
Listen to me and believe what I say if you can
Never, this is the end
You know I've seen the faces of doom and I'm only a man
Help me, tell me I'm sane
I feel a change in the earth, in the wind and the rain
Save me, take me away
You know I've seen some creatures from hell and I've heard what they say!

I've got to be strong
Oh, I'm falling off the edge of the world
Think you're safe, but you're wrong!
We are falling off the edge of the world!

Look out! there's danger! no where to run!
It seems like desperate measures but sometimes it has to be done
Over, it's over at last
There's a message inside as we build a new life from the past

We're falling off the edge of the world!
Yes, the edge of the world!
It's the end of the world!

. . .


Sometimes I feel like I'm dying at dawn
And sometimes I'm warm as fire
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain
And it goes over, and over, and over again, yeah

Too many flames, with too much to burn
And life's only made of paper
Oh, how I need to be free of this pain
But it goes over, and over, and over, and over again

Yeah, sometimes I cry for the lost and alone
And for their dreams that will all be ashes
But lately I feel like I'm just gonna rain
And it goes over, and over, and over, and over again
