Fear of the Dark

She fell in love with his greasy machine She leaned over wiped his kick-start clean She’d never seen the beast before But she left there wanting more more more But when she was walking on down the road She heard a sound that made her heart explode He whispered to her to get on the back “I’ll take you on a ride from here to eternity” Hell ain’t a bad place Hell is from here to eternity Hell ain’t a bad place Hell is from here to eternity She must be having one of her crazy dreams She’d never sat on a piece so mean It made her feel like’s she’s on cloud nine She even thought she heard the engine sigh But like all dreams that come to an end They took a tumble at the devil’s bend The beast and Charlotte they were two of a kind They’d always take the line...from here to eternity Hell ain’t a bad place Hell is from here to eternity Hell ain’t a bad place Hell is from here to eternity Hell ain’t a bad place Hell is from here to eternity

Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow But it’s not the fear, ‘cos I’d rather go now Trying to visualize the horrors that will lay ahead The desert sand mound a burial ground When it comes to the time Are we partners in crime? When it comes to the time We’ll be ready to die God let us go now and finish what’s to be done Thy Kingdom Come Thy shall be done... on earth Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go Should we live and let live Forget or forgive But how can we let them go on this way? The reign of terror corruption must end And we know deep down there’s no other way No trust, no reasoning, no more to say. Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers

We live our lives in fever In a choking sweat of fear In the heat of the night you can feel so much In the heat of the night I scream “Don’t touch!” I remember a time when we used and abused And we fought all our battles in vain I remember a time we thought that passion was free In the heat of the night...bodies aflame We live in fever... I hear your secret heartbeat I can hear your silent cries The kids have lost their freedom And nobody cares till somebody famous dies.... I remember a time when we used and abused And we fought all our battles in vain I remember a time we thought that passion was free In the heat of the night...bodies aflame We live in fever... Now we live, in a world of uncertainty Fear is the key - to what you want to be You don’t get a say The majority gets its way You’re outnumbered by the bastards till the day you die... I hear your secret heartbeat I can hear your silent cries The kids have lost their freedom And nobody cares till somebody famous dies.... They’re telling lies I remember a time when we used and abused I remember a time we thought that passion was free We live in fever... Now we live, in a world of uncertainty Fear is the key - to what you want to be You don’t get a say The majority gets its way You’re outnumbered by the bastards till the day you die...

I’d sail across the ocean I’d walk a hundred miles If I could make it to the end Oh just to see a smile You see it in their faces The sadness in their tears The desperation and the anger Madness and the fear No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, just greed is here Starvation and the hunger The suffering and the pain The agonies of all-out war When will it come again? The struggle for the power A tyrant tries again Just what the hell is going on? When will it ever end? No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, just greed is here You see the fullmoon float You watch the red sun rise We take these things for granted But somewhere someone’s dying Contaminated waters Pollution and decay Just waiting for disease to strike Oh will we learn someday? No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, no seed, childhood’s end

Maybe one day I’ll be an honest man Up till now I’m doing the best I can Long roads, Long days, of sunrise, to sunset Sunrise to sunset Dream on Brothers, While you can Dream on Sisters, I hope you find the one All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time Spend your days full of emptiness Spend your years full of loneliness Wasting love, in a desperate caress Rolling shadows of nights Dream on Brothers, While you can Dream on Sisters, I hope you find the one All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time Sands are flowing and the lines are in your hand In your eyes I see the hunger, and the desperate cry that tears the night. Spend your days full of emptiness Spend your years full of loneliness Wasting love, in a desperate caress Rolling shadows of nights

On a cold October morning As frost lay on the ground Waiting to make my move I made no sound Waiting for the mist to cover all around I carefully picked my time then took the wall I’m sick and tired of running The hunger and the pain A stop to look about then off again Being at the wrong place And at the wrong time Suspected of a hit, that was my crime I am a fugitive, being hunted down like game I am a fugitive, but I’ve got to clear my name I am a fugitive, being hunted down like game I am a fugitive, but I’ve got to clear my name Always looking around me Forever looking back I’ll always be a target for attack Ever moving onwards Always on the run Waiting for the sight of a loaded gun I am a fugitive, being hunted down like game I am a fugitive, but I’ve got to clear my name I am a fugitive, being hunted down like game I am a fugitive, but I’ve got to clear my name Even if I find them And get to clear my name I know that things can never be the same But if I ever prove My innocence some day I’ve got to get them all to make them pay I am a fugitive, being hunted down like game I am a fugitive, but I’ve got to clear my name I am a fugitive, being hunted down like game I am a fugitive, but I’ve got to clear my name

There’s a madman in the corner of your eye He likes to pry - into your sunlight He wants to burst into the street with you and I A world of shadows and of rain He’s seen what love is... He wants to pay you back with guilt... He lies to you he won’t let you be He’s got your Chains of Misery He won’t be still till he’s turned your key He holds your Chains of Misery He’s got your Chains of Misery There’s a prophet in the gutter in the street He says “You’re damned!” - And you believe him... He’s got a vision but it shines out through your eyes A world of hatred and fear... He felt what love means... He wants to pay you back with pain He lies to you - he won’t let you be He’s got your Chains of Misery He won’t be still till he’s turned the key He holds your Chains of Misery It’s only love that holds the key to your heart.. It’s only love... He lies to you he won’t let you be He’s got your Chains of Misery He won’t be still till he’s turned your key He holds your Chains of Misery He lies to you he won’t let you be He’s got your Chains of Misery He won’t be still till he’s turned your key He holds your Chains of Misery

Now I’m here, can you see me? ‘Cos I’m out on my own When the room goes cold, tell me You can feel me .....’cos I’m here Here I am, can you see me Passing through, on my way To a place I’d been to only in my Dreams...before In a world of delusion Never turn your back on a friend ‘Cause you can count your Real true friends on one hand .....through life There are those that deceive you There are those that’ll let you down Is there someone out there that would Die for you .....thought not Live your life with a passion Everything you do, do well You only get out of life what you put in .....so they say In a world of confusion People never say what they mean If you want a straight answer Go look for one .....right now In a room full of strangers Do you stand with your back to the wall? Do you sometimes feel like you’re On the outside .....looking in? You can make your own luck You create your own destiny I believe you have the power If you want to .....it’s true You can do what you want to If you try a little bit harder A little bit of faith goes a long way .....it does Are we here for a reason? I’d like to know just what you think It would be nice to know what Happens when we die ......wouldn’t it? There are some who are wise There are some who are born naive I believe that there are some who must Have lived before .....don’t you? As for me, well I’m thinking You gotta keep an open mind But I hope that my life’s not an Open and shut case. Extra sensory perception Life after Death, telepathy Can the soul live on and travel through Space and time? You know I feel so elated ‘Cause I’m about to find it out And when I know all the answers, Maybe then I’ll come back .....to fill you in You don’t be alarmed now If I try to contact you If things go missing or get moved around .....it’s me And don’t disbelieve it No matter what your “Friends” might say We’ll meet up again some place Some way .....one day

Lights out - We live in a world of darkness No doubt - Everything’s up for sale We sleep - All the world is burning We pray - To God for a better deal Nothing is sacred - Back then or now Everything’s wasted... Is that all there is? Can I go now? Judas, my guide Whispers in the night Judas, my guide Judas, my guide Whispers in the night Judas, my guide Fight wars - Die in a blaze of glory Come home - Meat in a plastic sack Fall down - Better pray to your God for mercy So kneel - And help the blade cut clean Nothing is sacred - Back then, or now Everyone’s wasted... Is that all there is? Is that it now? Judas, my guide Whispers in the night Judas, my guide Judas, my guide Whispers in the night Judas, my guide I live in the black I have no guiding light I’m whispering in your dreams... Judas, my guide Whispers in the night Judas, my guide Judas, my guide Whispers in the night Judas, my guide

The rebel of yesterday, tomorrow’s fool Who are you kidding, being that cool? Trying to break away from running with the pack But they ain’t listening, so you’ve gotta go back You’re a Weekend Warrior when you’re one of the crowd But it’s over, just look at you now... You’re not so brave, the way you behave It makes you sick, gotta get out quick It’s all bravado when you’re out with your mates It’s like a different person goes through those gates And the game begins The adrenaline’s high Feel the tension, maybe someone will die... A Weekend Warrior lately A Weekend Warrior sometimes A Weekend Warrior, maybe you ain’t that way anymore A Weekend Warrior lately A Weekend Warrior sometimes A Weekend Warrior, maybe you ain’t that way anymore You’ve gotta get out, gotta get away But you’re in with a clique, it’s not easy to stray You’ve gotta admit, you’re just living a lie It didn’t take long to work out why It’s hard to say why you got involved Just wanted to be part Just wanted to belong... A Weekend Warrior lately A Weekend Warrior sometimes A Weekend Warrior, maybe you ain’t that way anymore A Weekend Warrior lately A Weekend Warrior sometimes A Weekend Warrior, maybe you ain’t that way anymore Some of the things that you’ve done, you feel so ashamed After all, it’s only a game...isn’t it? And after all the adrenaline’s gone What you gonna do on Monday? A Weekend Warrior lately A Weekend Warrior sometimes A Weekend Warrior, maybe you ain’t that way anymore A Weekend Warrior lately A Weekend Warrior sometimes A Weekend Warrior maybe you were never like that at all

I am a man who walks alone And when I’m walking a dark road at night, or strolling through the park. When the light begins to change, I sometimes feel a little strange, a little anxious when it’s dark. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there. Have you run your fingers down the wall and have you felt your neck skin crawl when you're searching for the light? Sometimes when you're scared to take a look at the corner of the room you've sensed that something's watching you. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there. Have you ever been alone at night, thought you heard footsteps behind and turned around, and no-one’s there? And as you quicken up your pace you find it hard to look again, because you’re sure there’s someone there. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there. Watching horror films the night before, debating witches and folklore, the unknown troubles on your mind. Maybe your mind is playing tricks. You sense, and suddenly eyes fix on dancing shadows from behind. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there. When I'm walking a dark road I am a man who walks alone.
