Take what you want, the you'll get what you need
Isn't that all that we're teaching
Slowly but surely we're planting the seed
Hey listen, there's no use in preaching

All these years you've turned away
Nothing left to say


. . .



Enough is enough
I'm nobody's fool
I won't take no more
Oh now I'm out the door
I won't live by anyone's rules

I feel it's safe to say I'm on my own
It's just another lesson learned

No love lost

Life's like gettin' blood from a stone
We all live by cards that were dealt
I don't want no promises, don't want no lies
Go sell them to sombody else

I think it's safe to say, I'm on my own
It's just another lesson learned

No love lost

(We've had enough, can't take no more)


. . .



In a dark and deserted land
Lives a race of forgotten man
With a will never seen before
Do we dare to unlock the door

In his world there's so much to fear
And all the pain that he's made to bare
One desire, that's his will to live

Not destroy, but to give

He's been lost for so many years
By his choice, he has disappeared
From a world that is closing in
As the end of this race begins

All he wants is to be left free
No other land does he want to see
In his heart he knows it won't be long
He won't give up, he must stay strong

As he tries to hide, from the madness
There's no hope in hell, for tomorrow won't live on

What is gone, may never have been
Another world, now he's fallen in
All his dreams, how they've disappeared
Now he lives, all he feared

He only wanted to be left free
This other land that he's forced to see
In his mind, his will always be
A place that he'll never leave

As he tries to hide, from the madness
There's no hope in hell, it's gone
Tomorrow won't live on ...


. . .



Oh, it feels like, it was yesterday
When you came into my life
And took my heart away
Now I find, myself looking back
And I'm realizing how
You turned me inside out
And left with no doubt

Oh you're the only one
The love I feel
And you're the only one
It seems unreal

Now I see what it's all about
No more chasin' my own tail
There's nothing left to fear
As long as you are here

Oh you're the only one
The love I feel
And you're the only one
It seems unreal

Oh you're the only one I know
The love I feel
And you're the only one
It seems unreal

I can't explain the way I feel
I've waited so long
For someone like you


. . .



I'd sacrifice, whatever's left of me
Been livin' lies then you set me free
You've given more than I ever had
I give to you all over again

We've grown so strong
Over and over again
Though things have gone wrong
My love

There is no higher love than we have
You know I'd die without you
There are no lies, we left them behind
I'd surely die without you

I've never tried, tried this hard
I've never cried, never gone so far
Even the Gods, can't set us apart
It's engraved deep in our hearts

We've grown so strong
Over and over again
Though things have gone wrong
My love

There is no higher love than we have
You know I'd die without you
There are no lies, we left them behind
I'd surely die without you

Overture 1622

[No lyrics]

. . .



The moon is bright in the voodoo night
Dead eyes are burning with fire
There's no more light in the voodoo night
What's wrong and what's right,
Let's end this fight

Something has started to grow
Something that died long ago
You know too much and you touch
Forbidden knowledge


. . .



I'm not the one
Who's runnin' round and bein' snakey
I'm not the one who's got it down
Time after time
I try not actin' crazy
With you, that's not an easy thing to do

So I'm pleadin'

Maybe it's time
Don't tell me, don't tell me
To draw the line, don't tell me it's time

Day after day
You talk to me in circles
I don't believe your little smile
I'm not the one
The one who's thinkin' crazy
I won't be walkin' down no aisle

So I'm pleadin'

Maybe it's time
Don't tell me, don't tell me
To draw the line, maybe it's time


. . .



I've never killed another man
I've never lived the master plan
I can only pray that we'll survive

With every sin and whitened line,
I see the future slipping by
The time is nearing, what have we done

Is there a reason? Someone explain?
And in the end will we pay?

Time will Tell
I will

The hands of time we can't turn back
Have we all slipped through the cracks
Lord have mercy, forgive us all

Is there a reason? Someone explain?
And in the end will we pay?

Time will Tell
I will

There's no use looking back
Everything's turning black
Time's running out for us all


. . .



If you play with fire you'll get burned
It's such a shame
Even when you try you'll never learn
To tame the flames

Like the demon's eye
Watching over me
Relentlessly

You have got no wings but you have always tried to fly
Your soul is burning up like a fire in the sky

Some say I've been had, and that's too bad
I know they're wrong
Some say I've gone mad, and that's too sad
I'm much too strong

Like the demon's eye
Watching over me
Relentlessly

You have got no wings but you have always tried to fly
Your soul is burning up like a fire in the sky
You're not living what you're preaching and you're not a priest
You're not living, you are leeching, living like a beast

I feel fine although you give me hell
I don't mind
I'm your golden mine you know so well
Let me shine

Like the demon's eye
Watching over me
Relentlessly

You have got no wings but you have always tried to fly
Your soul is burning up like a fire in the sky
You're not living what your preaching and you're not a priest
You're not living, you are leeching, living like a beast
