1. WE ROCK

You watch their faces
You'll see the traces
Of the things they want to be
But only we can see
They come for killing
They leave and still it seems
The cloud that's left behind
Oh, can penetrate your mind

But sail on, sing your song, carry on
’Cause we rock, we rock, we rock

We pray to someone
But when it's said and done
It's really all the same
With just a different name
So many voices
All giving choices
If we listen they will say
Oh, we can find the way

But we'll sail on, sing our song, carry on
’Cause we rock, we rock, we rock, we rock
we rock, we rock, we rock, we rock, we rock

We rock

You watch their faces
You'll see the traces
Of the things they want to be
But only we can see
They come for killing
They leave and still it seems
The cloud that's left behind
Can penetrate your mind

Sail on, sing your song, carry on
’Cause we rock, we rock, we rock, we rock
We rock, we rock, we rock, we rock

Ride out, stand and shout, carry on
Sail on, sing your song, carry on

’Cause we rock, we rock, see how we rock
We rock, got to rock, we rock, we rock, we rock
Sail on

2. THE LAST IN LINE

We're a ship without a storm
The cold without the warm
Light inside the darkness that it needs, yeah
We're a laugh without a tear
The hope without the fear
We are coming, home

We're off to the witch, we may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross, we’re the throw before the toss
You can release yourself, but the only way is down

We don't come alone, we are fire, we are stone
We're the hand that writes, then quickly moves away
We'll know for the first time if we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, yeah, we're the last in line

Two eyes from the east, it's the angel or the beast
And the answer lies between the good and bad
We search for the truth, we could die upon the tooth
But the thrill of just the chase is worth the pain
We'll know for the first time if we're evil or divine
We're the last in line, yeah, we're the last in line, oh, oh…

Yeah, we're off to the witch, we may never never never come home
But the magic that we'll feel is worth a lifetime
We're all born upon the cross, you know we’re the throw before the toss
You can release yourself, but the only way to go is down
We’ll know for the first time if we’re evil or divine
We’re the last in line, oh, we’re the last in line
See how we shine
We’re the last in, we’re the last in
We’re the last in, we’re the last in
We’re the last in, we’re the first in line, oh
We’re a ship without a storm, we’re the cold inside the warm
We’re a laugh without a tear, we’re the far without the near
We’re the last in line, we’re the last in line
We’re the last in line, see how we shine
We’re the last in line

3. BREATHLESS

No no no no no no no
You said a single word, but no one really heard
Sometimes you scream alone
It's always worse at night, when darkness kills the light
You're in the danger zone
And you wait with pounding heart, you know it's just the start
’Cause you're breathless, ready to burn
Breathless, the circle still turns
Breathless, willing to learn
You're breathless, yeah

Living inside your mind, who knows the things you'll find
There could be hell or rainbows
But it's a funny thing, the more you feel the sting
You're just a leaf that the wind blows
You've been this way before
One step and you're through the door
And you're breathless, ready to burn
Breathless, the circle still turns
Breathless, you’re willing to learn
Breathless, yeah, alright

Yeah, you said a single word, but no one really heard
Sometimes you scream alone
It's always worse at night, when darkness kills the light
You're in the danger zone
You wait with pounding heart, you know it's just the start
’Cause you're breathless, ready to burn
Breathless, the circle still turns
Breathless, willing to learn
You're breathless, yeah
Well you’re breathless, alone in the night
Breathless, but the feeling ain’t right
Breathless, ready to burn
You’re breathless

Say a single word, no one really heard
It’s always worse at night, ‘cause when the darkness kills the light
Then you’re breathless
Yeah, you’re breathless, ready to burn
Breathless, you’re willing to learn
Breathless, while the circle still turns
You’re breathless, breathless
Now now you’re breathless, alone in the night
Breathless, the feeling ain’t right
Breathless, I’m ready to burn
I’m ready to burn, I’m ready to burn
‘Cause I’m breathless

4. I SPEED AT NIGHT

Alright
Dark touches send rushes through the brain
Black's whiter, burns brighter than the flame
No shadows, just whispers in the wind
No faces, just places to begin
Oh I’ve just come seeking pleasure
I hate the light, I speed at night, at night, alright

My demons, they seem to disappear
No vision, I only see to hear
Protection, I never needed none
Direction, just nowhere near the sun
You've go some stairs to heaven, you may be right
I only know in my world, I hate the light, I speed at night
I speed at night, I speed at night, I speed at night, alright

Dark touches send rushes through the brain
Black's whiter, burns brighter than the flame
No shadows, just whispers in the wind
No faces, just places to begin
You've got some stairs to heaven, you may be right
I only know in my world, I hate the light, I speed at night
I speed at night, I speed at night, I speed at night, yeah
I speed at night, night, night, night, night
I speed at night, night, night, night, night
No shadows, no faces, just whispers in dark places
I speed at night, I speed at night
I speed at night, I speed at night, alright

5. ONE NIGHT IN THE CITY

Oh, Johnny was a dark child, he was promised to us all
But riders in the night, can lift you out of sight
When they call, that’s all

My Sally was a princess
And she was chosen for the crown
But chains can't stop the sound
Of one night in the city
One night looking pretty, yeah

Then someone opened doorways, and Johnny slipped away
Running for the bright, where dark is always light
There's no day, no way

The princess saw the dark child
And the dark child said her name
Come steal away, we'll play the game

Do you watch, do you see, do you know the people in me
I'm the bite, I'm the bark, I'm the scream
I’m the poor, I’m the sure, I’m the holy, I’m the pure
I can tell you tales you just might not believe

One night in the city, one night looking pretty
One night in the city, one night looking pretty
One night, one night, one night
One night, one night, one night

Yeah the children share the wonder
All the leather and the lace
But one child went away
And one child stayed to play
For one night in the city, one night looking pretty, yeah
One night in the city, one night ‘cause she’s pretty
But chains don’t make a wall, and dreams lay where they fall
Dark is never night, when dreams make up the light
One night in the city (one night), one night feeling pretty, yeah
One night in the city (one night), feeling pretty pretty pretty pretty
Pretty in the city (one night, one night)
One night in the city (one night)
One night one night (one night one night)
One night one night (one night)
One night one night (one night one night)
One night one night (one night one night)
Oh one child went away, and one child stayed to play
Chains don’t make a wall
And you dreams are laid just where they fall
In the city (one night one night)
One night in the city (one night one night)
One night in the city

6. EVIL EYES

Hide in the midnight
Turn out the lights, you'll see them anyway
Sail into never, they'll follow wherever you can go
And take you to the places you don't know. No no

It's the call of the city
The way that black's pretty to the purest heart
It's places of pleasure
They promise you treasure if you fly
And then there goes the soul of you and I

Oh do you ever think about the way I caught the rainbow
I'll be there where fire makes you dance
I'm gonna give you the look that opens up the skies
I got Evil Eyes, evil eyes, evil eyes, evil eyes

Yes, evil eyes, ooh, those eyes
Hide in the nighttime
Turn out the light, they'll see you anyway
Sail into never, they'll follow wherever you can go
Evil Eyes, evil eyes, evil eyes, evil eyes
Evil Eyes, evil eyes, take your lies, evil eyes
You’re a thin disguise for what you are, evil eyes
Sail into never, they’ll follow forever
‘Cause they’re evil eyes
Evil, evil, evil, evil, evil (evil) evil (evil) evil eyes

7. MYSTERY

Hey, can you hear me, can you see
There's a storm on the edge of the sky
Does it matter, well it does to me, I can tell you why
You know, when there's thunder, there should be rain
But it don't always follow the rule, no
And is the wise man always right? No he can play the fool

It's always a mystery, not what it seems to be
It's always a mystery, just like you and me
Always a mystery

We are lightning, we are flame
And we burn at the touch of a spark
Well there's no fire, if no one sees
There is only the dark
Just imagine, will you try
I can see that you've opened your mind
Silver linings can disappear, but they always shine

It's always a Mystery, not what it seems to be
It's always a Mystery, just like you and me
Always a mystery

It’s always a mystery, not what it seems to be
Always a mystery, just like you and me
It’s always a mystery, not what you want to see
Always a mystery, just like you and me
Always a mystery, always a mystery
Not what you want to see, always a mystery
Always a mystery, always a mystery
Not what you want to see, just like you and me
Always a mystery, always a mystery
Not what you want to see, just like you and me

8. EAT YOUR HEART OUT

Well it's a long hot road I've been upon
Through the desert of your soul
I looked high and low for water
But it's not there, no no

And all the promises of springtime
Turned to lies, so cold
But I'm stronger than you know
And I've come to let you go

Go eat your heart out
You've been a bad, bad girl
You've been hungry all of your life
So eat it out

I've been a prisoner just locked away
Inside your velvet jail
It don't matter at all
Some things can grow without the light, alright

Spinning cages for her pleasure
Weaving chains to hold the prize
Magic moments with the jailer
All on fire, and then he dies

Eat you heart out, you’ve been a bad, bad girl
You’ve been hungry all of your life, yeah

We speed across emotion
And then we lose our hold
We turn on wheels of passion
That we can't control, oh

And all the promises of springtime
Turned to lies, so cold
But I'm stronger than you know
And I've come to let you go

Go eat your heart out
You've been a bad, bad girl
You've been hungry all of your life
So eat your heart out, eat your heart out
You’ve been a bad, bad girl
You’ve been hungry all of your life, so eat it out
Eat you’re heart out, run through the shadows at night
Eat you’re heart out
Spinning cages for her pleasure
Weaving chains to hold the prize
Magic moments with her treasure
All on fire, and he dies, then he dies, then he dies

9. EGYPT (THE CHAINS ARE ON)

In the land of the lost horizon
Where the queen lies dark and cold
And when the stars won't shine, then the story's told, yeah
When the world was milk and honey
And the magic was strong and true
Then the strange ones came and the people knew, oh
That the chains were on, that the chains were on, my my my

In the land of no tomorrow
Where you pray just to end each day
And your life just slowly melts away
Each day you hear the sand as it moans and whispers
”Come and sail on my golden sea”
Maybe one day you'll be just like me, and that's free
But still your chains are on, yes your chains are on
Still your chains are on

You've seen them walking on the water
You've seen flying through the skies
They were frightening in the darkness
They had rainbows in their eyes

Yeah, when the world was milk and honey
And the magic was strong and true
Then the strange ones came and the people knew, yeah
That the chains were on, that the chains were on
That the chains were on, that the chains were on
Oh my the chains were on
In the land of the lost horizons, where the chains are on
In the land of milk and honey, still the chains are on
Where the queen lies dark and lonely, still the chains are on
And the world was new and magic, but the chains are on
Yeah, your chains were on, oh the chains were on
Yeah, the chains were on, oh the chains were on
Hey, the chains were on
Seen them walking on the water, oh the chains were on
Seen them flying through the sky, my the chains were on
They were frightening in the darkness, yes the chains were on
They had rainbows in their eyes, hey your chains were on
Oh the chains were on, oh the chains were on
