Love don't give no compensation, love don't pay no bills
Love don't give no indication, love just won't stand still
Love kills, drills you through your heart
Love kills, scars you from the start
It's just a living pastime, ruining your heartline
Stays for a lifetime, won't let you go
Coz love (love) love (love) love won't leave you alone

Love won't take no reservations, love is no square deal
Hey love don't give no justification, it strikes like cold steel
Love kills, drills you through your heart
Love kills, scars you from the start
It's just a living pastime, burning your lifeline
Gives you a hard time won't let you go
Coz love (love) love (love) love won't leave you alone

Hey love can play with your emotions
Open invitation to your heart
Hey love kills
Play with your emotions
Open invitation to your heart (to your heart)
Love kills (love kills), hey hey, love kills (love kills)
Love kills kills kills kills
Love can play with your emotions, open invitation

Love kills, hey, drills you through your heart
Love kills, scars you from the start
It's just a living pastime, ruining your hearrline
Won't let you go
Love kills, hey, drills you through your heart
Love kills, tears you right apart
It won't let go, it won't let go
Love kills, yeah

Our two worlds met in strange surprise
I hid my love in thin disguise
I tried to leave, how could I stay?
What if my heart gave me away?
I always thought I'd be prepared
But love just caught me unaware
You said the words and I believed
I fell so hard, I fell so deep

Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, so has mine
Here's my heart

So true love triumphs once again
It always makes it in the end
And if you let the heart run free
It will return faithfully

Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, the hour is fine
Here's my heart

Ooh, ooh

Love can't hide, though it tries
Hearts catch fire, all the time
Helpless love walks the line
Hearts catch fire, so has mine

Here's my heart
Here's my heart
Here's my heart
Here's my heart

Ooh... hey, hey, hey

. . .


Cage of freedom
That's our prison
Where the jailer and captive combine
Cage of freedom
Cast in power
All the trappings of our own design
Blind ambition
Steals our reason
We're soon behind those invisible bars
On the inside
Looking outside
To make it safer we double the guard
Cage of freedom
There's no escaping
We fabricated a world of our own....

Cage of freedom, growing smaller
'Til every wall now touches the skin
Cage of freedom, filled with treason
Changing sides as the losses begin
Our suspicion tries escaping
But they step up the security
There's no exit, there's no entrance
Remember how we swallowed the key?
Cage of freedom, that's our prison
We fabricated this world on our own....

Big brother
Is there a bigger one watching you
Or is there one smaller
Who I should be watching too
Infinite circles of
Snakes eating their own tails
For every one chasing
Another is on the trail
Is that a friend
Can you tell, is he on your side?
'Cause I spy with my little eye
Yet another spy... (fadeout)

. . .


Circles of the human chain
Turning for the wheels of gain
A system with a power of its own
To draw blood from a stone

Every hour like the last
Tomorrow like the day just passed
Bearing down upon the flesh and bone
To draw blood from a stone

Cold machines that never stop
Even if a man should drop
Mercy never lets her face be shown
They draw blood from a stone

. . .

The Legend Of Babel

[No lyrics]

. . .


She begins to steal the light
Confusion throws another mystery
It's out of focus with the eyes
So now you wonder is this just a dream?

Here she comes, here she comes
She's gonna cause a sensation now
And just between you and me
I think she'll soon have you temptation bound
Suppose? Who know? she's not above suspicion
Is she? Maybe? on some kind of secret mission
Better listen
Somewhere, somehow
There's still some pieces missing
I sense, I feel, trust my intuition
Don't rush into your decision

Now here's a riddle in the rhyme
If she's the same how come she's different now?
The same old eyes, but not the shine
You know you're certain, but you're full of doubt

Now here she comes, here she comes
She's gonna have you at her beck and call
So why refuse? Yeah why contend?
When all resistance is impossible
Somewhere, somehow
There's still some pieces missing
I sense, I feel, trust my intuition
Don't rush into your decision

Now here she comes, here she comes
She's gonna have you at her beck and call
So why refuse? Yeah why contend?
When all resistance is impossible
Here she comes, here she comes
This lady's serious, make no mistake
Face to face and eye to eye
She'll cast a spell that you may never break

. . .


Destruction
Destruction
Destruction

You say the situation
Is getting out of hand
I guess you know the reason why
But now it's hit the fan
Sometimes you feel so helpless
Well, think again

Destruction
Destruction
Destruction
Destruction

Forget the boring details
We're only splitting hairs
The way things are right now
You'll need a knife to cut the air
Well, nothing's going to stop us now
So who cares?

(Destruction) times are changing, someone's losing control
(Destruction) steal the future, now, or nothing at all
(Destruction) every danger is a stranger to trust
(Destruction) the cost will make it roll into dust

You'll regret it, don't think deserver with consequence
(No self-destruction, no self-destruction)
Why should we quit now? we've shattered every defense
(No self-destruction, no self-destruction)
No compromises, confusion starts to slide
(No self-destruction, no self-destruction)
The problem is the joker's running wild, yeah, wild

(Destruction) times are changing, someone's losing control)
(Destruction) steal the future, now, or nothing at all)
(Destruction) every danger is a stranger to trust)
(Destruction) the cost will make it roll into dust)
(Destruction) I know we're going to make it to Heaven this time)
(Destruction) take the power, let it be yours and mine)

(Destruction) gotta finish what we came here to start
(Destruction) ain't stopping what be stuck in the dark, you know
(Destruction) got conviction to keeping the part
(Destruction) you know, you know, you know
(Destruction) you know
(Destruction)

. . .


In every heart there comes a time
You find yourself, you speak your mind
On your own

No man can lead two separate lives
One castle keep, one will decide
It's not right

CHORUS
For every heart there burns a flame
To light the soul and make you one again
In every heart there looms a voice
We'll have our day

Oh, yeah

I lived a lie bound from my birth
I need to find what life is worth
It's not mine

Oh, secret soul that burns inside
No forced control can make you hide
Open wide

A restless heart who needs a friend
To free my soul and make me one again
Within my heart I found a voice
I'll have my say

CHORUS

CHORUS

For every heart there burns a flame
To light the soul and make you one again
In every heart there looms a voice

. . .


Is there a mask behind the face?
Is it a sleeveless ace?
Can a smile conceal a sneer?
How do we see clear?
Answers can change the question line
Every time
And now the truth is confidence
Tells a lie

What's going on?
What's going on?

Remember all the cracks we feared
Beneath the clear veneer
Well, now, they're bursting wide apart
Is this just the start?
How does it feel to lose control
Feels like Hell
So who's a friend and who's a foe?
Can we tell?

CHORUS
What's going on?
I wanna know
What's going on?
I wanna know
What's going on?
I wanna know
What's going on?
I wanna know

It's really no surprise, keep looking back
It's easy being wise after the fact
But at the time it seems such a harmless trend
You gotta take more care, you have to be prepared to stand

CHORUS

What's going on?
I wanna know
What's going on?
I wanna know
