Silence - we hunt for the queen
Sign of the cross
And pray in-between

Look by the light of the day
She's hiding till dark
Waiting to play hey-hey

Something's taken a child
And it all must end
Time to be killing the dragon again

Silence - we'll hunt for the lord
He takes crimson and gold
Gave ice to the cold

Oh to be never afraid
Of wolves at the door
Howling for more

More's been empty for years
And it all must end
Time to be killing the dragon again

Kneel and behold your new king
Digital dreams
And wonderful things to tease you

Small gods with electrical hearts
And it all will end
Time to be killing the dragon


. . .



Remember when you only needed no one
Every day's tomorrow
And it's all right
No confessions - not for you
Forget the things you've done
It's what you'll do

The first time you're suspicious
What's that gliding down
Along comes a spider

Suddenly the world has no more changes
You've run with an evil woman
So it's all right
No more strangers' candy lies
The light is so much better for your eyes

Now I'm not superstitious
But every time you've tried
Along comes a spider

Don't ask why - it's the long way around
Just go wild

Why do we believe in conversation
We never seem to listen
We only hear

Now you don't need permission
But don't get caught next time
Along comes a spider
A spider
A spider
Inside her


. . .



You've made it through another day
Driving past the backroads of your mind
You could have turned the other way
And break down on the sanity you've found inside you

Someone said that you are fantasy
But in the darkness
Behind your smile
You scream


. . .



I'm all right - I'm crossing over
I just shot the sun
One more night - black as heaven
So no-one saw the gun

Running with monsters in shadows
And monsters always know
It's better in the dark

Oh, she's all right - tall and handsome
If the lights are down
Gone by dawn - takes no chances
Might come back around

Clutching to monsters in shadows
And monsters always know
It's better in the dark

I'm all right - I'm crossing over
I can disappear - gone

Clutching to monsters in shadows
And monsters always know
It's better in the dark
Better in the dark
I just shot the sun


. . .



If they take away your song
You can finally hear the voices
Of the ones that don't belong

In the face of the rising wind
We all sing Gloria
Is there flame without fire
Most unlikely

If you're there when the walls come down
We all sing - warrior
Is there sight without sound
Most unlikely

But we got rock and roll
Rock and roll
Take me anywhere
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Is there someone there
Rock and roll

On the edge of the last goodbye
We all sing - warrior
Ah the brave never die
Most unlikely

Hey, send your heroes of to war
But whisper in their ear
Never cross the song police
They can tell you what you're gonna hear - again

For the sake of the left behind
We all sing Gloria
Soon forgotten by time
So unlikely

Cause we got rock and roll
Rock and roll
Take you anywhere

Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Someone's always there
Rock and roll

Bring me anywhere
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Someone's always there
Rock and roll
Rock and roll me, ah

Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll
Rock and roll


. . .



You've ridden on a carousel
So you know the feeling
As the ring slips through your fingers

Sometimes you justify it
But there's the sword
And you're bleeding once again

Before you're in a corner
Can't crawl away
Here's a way to save you

You gotta push
Get out of my way and push
You can turn the wheel


. . .



He'd never tell her lies
And she believed in magic
But when the magic died
She could see that all along he's just been

Guilty - a liar, liar


. . .



Oh-oh, the sun's gone down
Her day begins
And the rhythm of the darkness
Wakes the dead

Don't answer eyes that smile
Don't let them in
They see the lonely child
She feels their sin
But it's getting so much colder
And she's afraid

Never going back to where the pain was
She'd rather face the pain that's here and now

Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw-away child

I'll make you safe and warm
Words she needs to hear
What they really mean is no more little girl

Don't see her anymore
They disappear

Yesterday they said that she was dying
And just today I heard that she was dead

Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw-away child

Someone's thrown away their children
You can hear them only if you try
Sing for the runaway children
Goodbye

Someone's thrown away their children
You can see them running from your smile
Sing for the runaway children
The throw-away child

Someone had a dream
Never been to London
Never in a limousine

Something made him go
Could it be the voices
Coming from the radio

But somewhere down the line
The happiness you'll find
Will crash into a wall
Just before the fall

Someone joined the band
But he never heard the music
Couldn't really understand
No, no no

Don't know what they mean
Where's my picture
Shining from a magazine

But somewhere down the line
He'll quickly glance behind
Then smash into a wall
Before the fall

Someone ran so fast
When he saw the future
He was sure that it was just the past

Someone had a dream
Only this one ended lost
Inside the old machine

And somewhere down the line
They'll say that his is mine
And all that's left is time
Time to fall and stumble, ah


. . .



Tired of living in the black and white?
Where fools can tell you that you're never right
I know a place where the film's in color
Just step inside of yourself
Here's a place in the front row
So on with the show

The same old shadow on the run
That's no shadow, it's your shadow's son

I know a place where the pools got water
And you don't need to know how to swim
Here's the key to the back door
Do you want more
Do you need more?

Same old rhythm to the same old rhyme
The same old clock - same old time

There's a place where the grass is greener
And you can shake, rattle and roll
Here's the key to the front door
Do you want more
Will you need more?

Tired of living in the black and white
Where no-one's wrong and you're never right
Same old steps to the same old dance
Just one more reason - one more chance
Oh


. . .



Lately when my demons drag the night across my eyes
I just can't seem to fight it anymore
Yield unto temptation and be ruler of the world
But it seems that I have heard that song before

And the voices begin to sing - Come home

I have seen some evil as I've walked upon the earth
But this is way beyond what eyes can see
Wicked is as wicked does and if I lose control
Is this the way that hell is gonna be

Have I fallen too far to rise
Been burning too long in the fire
Then it all falls down - Tearing the night away

It must be - Fever dreams
Fever dreams
Fever dreams

Now before my demons roll the night across my eyes
I tremble as I wait perhaps to sin
Yield unto temptation and be ruler of the world
And all I do is let the beast come in

Have I fallen too far to rise
I've been standing too long in the fire
Let it all fall down
Tearing the night away

It must be - Fever dreams
From the outside - Fever dreams
Oh, fever dreams
Fever dreams
Ooh-ooh

Fever dreams
Fever dreams
Fever dreams
Fever dreams
Fever dreams
Fever dreams


. . .



When there's lightning you know it always bring me down
'cause it's free and I see that it's me who's lost and never found
I cry out for magic I feel it dancing in the light
It was cruel lost my hold to the shadows of the night
No sign of the morning coming you've been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark a rainbow in the dark
Do your demons do they ever let you go
When you've tried do they hide deep inside is it someone that you know
You're just a picture you're an image caught in time
We're a lie you and I we're words without a rhyme
There's no sign of the morning coming you've been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark just a rainbow in the dark yeah
When there's lightning you know it always brings me down
'cause it's free and I see that it's me who's lost and never found
Feel the magic fell it floating in the air
But it's fear and you'll hear it calling you beware look out
There's no sign of the morning coming there's no sign of the day
You've been left on your own like a rainbow like a rainbow in the dark
Yeah yeah you're a rainbow in the dark just a rainbow in the dark
No sign of the morning you're a rainbow in the dark whoa oh oh
