Tiger Army Album

[No lyrics]

Rise! [x4]
Ghost tigers rise!
Rise! [x4]
Tiger Army never die!

I've done so much wrong
So now I wander, just trying to get along
There's no peace for me
This tattooed tear, it falls forever from my eye

Deep in my heart, this pain and anguish
Forced down it explodes, violence and anger
You get a bitter taste of what it's like to live my life

Let's go!
So now I wander alone
Without no one
There's just this pain in my heart

There is no place that I can go
And it has come to be,
Shards of broken dreams
Are cutting me apart

Thinking of before, the path was chosen,
A time of great promise, that's now been wasted
There is no turning back as regret chokes my soul

In a violent world, hate makes you harder
We all want to be loved, but we don't know how
How do you make right, that which can never be undone?

Watch the moonrise tonight
The ocean looms past bonfires alight
I am a stranger in this place
And when I see you, I can't turn away

Under this beach lie pirate bones
We stand above them, at long last alone
There's something different in your heart
You're not afraid of the darkness within us all

And we kiss, in the Santa Carla twilight
On the beach, under a Santa Carla moon
I am lost - but I've found you in my arms
And my heart is blacker than the dark ocean

Eternity... belongs to us
Eternally... lasts our love
If you want forever close your eyes and surrender to me
Just remember today was the last that you'll ever see the sun
In Santa Carla

Hear the song of night tide
It's been ages since I felt this alive
At long last I've found you and it ends
The loneliness we feel that they could never understand

And in this land beyond the dusk
A consummation of unholy love
Between two children of the night
As all time dissolves into a crimson dream

Unseen to the eyes, but ablaze in your heart
It scorches from inside, just as it haunts
It is unknown to young lovers, intoxicated by spring
But when I feel its icy flames, they’ll know everything

It lives where love has died… this Ghostfire
Where poison flowers bloom, it sears from beyond sight
In the graveyard of promises, it burns right through the night
Only a lover lost burns in Ghostfire

Lovers spurned took their revenge, lie in cells tonight
Once consumed they turn to ash, in its cold blue light
For those who can't take the pain—
They extinguish the spark of life
For others it comforts, a companion in the night

It lives where love has died… this Ghostfire
Where poison flowers bloom, it sears from beyond sight
In the graveyard of promises, it burns right through the night
Only a lover lost burns in Ghostfire
Only a lover lost burns in Ghostfire
Only a lover lost burns in Ghostfire

There is a rose in the Devil's garden
In shadow it grows alone
Many things are dangerous now
In this garden we call home

Be careful as you make your way
Some things are poison to the touch
You've spent your life here in this place
You long to run away so much

[Chorus:]
My love it is a black rose (my love it is a black rose)
Held out to you by the hand of fate (held by the hand of fate now)
And as this dark romance grows...
It's not from the sun, but the starlight that's so far away
Above the Devil's garden

The fertile soil of poisoned hearts
Fed by tears and nighttime rain
Under Transylvanian moon
Grows the flower bred from pain

Death is pure - life is not
So ask yourself, what do you want?
As for me, well I want you
So pick the black rose and let its thorns cut you

[Chorus]

At the end of the world, suddenly I feel alive
There's nothing in the world like a Southern California night
I always hoped that someday, everything would be all right
And now someday has arrived tonight

[Chorus:]
We're speeding through the city tonight
We'll hit this town just like a bomb
For this one moment, this world is ours
And still we're waiting, for the atomic fire

Black palm trees sway, they whisper to the purple sky
Close your eyes and feel the ghosts of Hollywood gone by
Still the dreamers come, still the dreams are left to die
Behind the lights a necropolis lies

[Chorus]

you're walking in the night - you walk alone
the shadows whisper your name...
a stranger beckons you, like none you've seen
you can't ignore his request as he whispers, "come to me..."

i want to show you what happens when we die...
you take a chance and then it's too late when you realize
i want to show you what happens when
i want to show you what's happening
i want to show you what happens when we die

time has come to see beyond now - reach out take my hand
something inside beckons you...
a shiver takes you - delicious thrill
tonight's our destiny, so come and let it be fulfilled

Under dark waters the light glows
In the eyes of cats at night it shows
All pain and sorrow left behind
And through the darkness my love shines

A thousand miles we are apart
So tightly wrapped in thorns my heart
My song is heard in owls' cries
And through the darkness my love shines

It lights the green fog on the hill
It burns in shooting stars as wishes are fufilled
Glowing as bright as fireflies
Yes, through the darkness my love shines

In the flames of candles in your room
In the smallest sliver of a waning winter moon
Electric like a neon sign
Yes, through the darkness my love shines

Burning like pagan fires of long ago
Luminescent my heart shines for you-
So don't let go

And in the darkest hour of night
Moments before sleep comes and dreams come into sight
Just know that you are on my mind
And through the darkness my love shines

Through the darkness, my love...
And through the darkness...
And through the darkness my love shines

Well I've walked alone, I've walked down this long road
Some walk alongside for awhile and then go
I think back on them as the days go by
The roads we took were different in this life

We once drank from the wine of youth
Then it was gone
And when a woman takes your heart
The only thing left is a song

There are plenty of the bad times that i've had
Seemed to last so long while the good ones when so fast
But the best times i remember them most of all
They'll stay with me forever

There are some friends who've walked along with me
They'll be there till the end of the road
But in the middle of the night
When you're alone with the pain-
Sometimes it's not enough and you're on your own

Some of these moments
There's just one thing that saved my life
And as the sweet muse sent the music
I held on to my guitar all night

I've seen the morning break in Tokyo
The winter stars above the Wyoming snow
Everything in between, well it's been a long ride
Wouldn't trade anything under the sky

I hear them calling to me from another world
Look at the place you live they say
Oh won't you join us in a world that's without pain?
Leave behind your misery

I cannot listen without longing
To let go of my burdens sounds so sweet
Reasons to hold on there are many -
This I must remember when the sirens call to me

I hear them calling from beyond
From beyond oh no
Sometimes I feel I can't go on
I hear them calling from beyond
From beyond oh no
Must find the strength to carry on
I need you with me

When I awake the siren still resonates
In sadness from unremembered dreams
And in the prison of this longing
I'm waiting for parole, waiting to be free

I know that my time here has not yet come
There's still so much that's left to do and say
I know that my work here is not done
But I'll go to them someday

We're the masters of the night
Both death and glory on our side
Mess with the fucking best
And get fucked up like all the rest
You won't hear us when we're coming...

We're back again
We're on the scene
And when we strike it's swift, silent, deadly
When we strike it's swift, silent -- deadly!

We seek, strike, destroy
Like tigers born to kill
For those who just can't understand
We'll let you know the fucking deal
You won't hear us when we're coming...

We're back again
We're on the scene
And when we strike it's swift, silent, deadly
When we strike it's swift, silent -- deadly!

We're back again
We're on the scene
And when we strike it's swift, silent, deadly
When we strike it's swift, silent -- deadly!

A restless feeling consumes me tonite --
It won't go away
I try to hold on but my will ebbs like a tide
I'm drawn to her like a moth to a flame...
Pleasure and destruction, are they both the same?
Won't you join me my dear
On this night we'll play the Devil's game

There's something 'bout tonite
There's something in the air
There's an ocean of flame
I can feel it burning somewhere
And if there's such a place, then that's the place that you'll find me
I can hear the fire calling. I want to take you there
Can you hear the fire calling?

I'm gonna drown in a Sea of Fire, won't you come with me?
I'm going down to the Sea of Fire, baby won't you come?
Passion that is worth an eternity of torment and sorrow
And so we sail into the Sea of Fire and now it won't be long

As moths we gravitate to the lantern of sin
But they don't understand --
The only sin is to die, without having truly lived
One look into your eyes tells me you feel it too
You're drawn to the fire
The moths flutter together in the frenzy of their last moments
