Jon Oliva’s Pain
Album • 2008
Open up your eyes And see what we are doing to each other We filled the world with hate We take advantage of our brothers So listen to me now So many paths for us to follow Just want to shed some light On all that we are forced to swallow I can't believe it I have foreseen it Casting heavy shadows On all that we know Running out of chances A victim's circumstances The theory that is forming Leads to global warning

Just look at the world...falling down around you Are we really doing all we can do Wasted lives, no jobs, no money, just scars Ever think we would take it all this far Look at the world coming down around you Look at the world see it's gone to far You got Jesus watching from above If you think a change can't wait, that's a lie Look at the world Christ what a scene Got us living on dope and gasoline Got us believing all he twisted lies Time to wake up...time to realize

I am trying to look past the lying That is forced upon me everyday and night They play the game of life and death Millions they have spent On useless war machines The cause of what we see Liars, liars... Liars, liars We are adding the cost We are adding the cost We are adding the cost We are adding the cost Thousands die each day of hunger and disease Open up your eyes, see the wasted lives That once was precious caught in circumstances Now with death they're dancing, searing desperate glances Crying, crying... Dying, dying We are adding the cost We are adding the cost We are adding the cost We are adding the cost So what's the answer to the world's dilemma If you ask me questions I will show you figures That will stagger; rock you... that will truly shock you Bring you to your knees, watch you beg and plead But they will not listen 'cause their souls are missing They're just mindless specters looking like court jesters We are adding the cost We are adding the cost We are adding the cost We are adding the cost

Who's this I have found lying on the street The name means nothing he's burnt and obsolete He doesn't look to good, his body smells like wine Lives life with a poisoned mind He just waits for the perfect time To let his demon break out My eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the fall All the wicked things I've seen, I must have done them all An endless cast of victims, I have sacrificed In the name of my sweet lord who offers paradise Before I hang... I'll see the end of you all Before I hang I'll see the western world I'll see the western world fall Brainwashed, hypnotized Since he was just a boy M-16's, hand grenades are his only toys He doesn't think to clear, he's sure to cross the line Got his orders etched into his mind Sits and waits for the perfect time He'd rather die than give up Before I hang... I'll see the end of you all Before I hang I'll see the western world I'll see the western world fall

As we live our lives Like a flicker of star light On these battle fields The smell of death is real In fear of attack in a night cold and black Show me where I can run, where no one carries a gun The enemy lines I'm now caught behind Favor neither a side, show me a place I can hide This firefly Try to understand this war Wasn't in my plans, no The fight for freedom and liberty Will go on indefinitely, I know My Life, my home is where I belong Tell me why must this be an unsolved mystery Lives have been lost, who's adding the cost Broken families, left only with memories Of fireflies Now we're facing annihilation The end to all we know Devastation soon replacing The end to all we grow Can't you see the power and greed That's sure to doom us all They won't rest, now all that's left Is for the world to fall Now I can see my opponents As scared as me I know he feels inside All those things we try to hide The fighting must cease for the world to have peace Live and let live I believe, see what it's like to be free You may just find that somewhere in time Together we all will be, to live out eternity As fireflies Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm the computer I'm running your life I know all you do...your pleasures-delights All you desire, all that you need I give to you with insanity So many visions to you I have shown Caught in my web, forever you'll roam I knew I would catch you, it's me that you need I will command you to do what I please I taunt you, and tease you Then leave you alone To deal with temptations that I have known I'm the computer I call all the shots I am your god It's your life I've got To play with forever, I'll never let go You see...you amuse me, the star of my show I am your master, a devil you see You've been infected with my disease I control all that you hear and you see I am the one who will tend to your needs I'll take you to places that you'd never go I'll fill you soul...with all that I know

It's a scene you won't believe All the things you can see Many places you can go Close your eyes now, start the show Here no rules apply Reach out touch the sky Beware as darkness starts calling Follow me, sample many a pleasure That up above, you can't even mention I see a soul; it's mine for the taking Follow me...it's time for you to take a ride Not a movie, not T.V Motivation, wondering All your secrets, watch them unfold Like your dreams, like your goals Can't you see they're coming to get you Lost, alone, no one to protect you Whatever you do they'll always resent you Time to decide, where to go Start your journey, to the unknown

You, now you're gone You're not here anymore It seems so wrong Life, so unclear You were always there Now you've disappeared I've been waiting for a sign I hope you left behind I feel it deep inside I feeling I can't hide So, life goes on Though your picture fades Your light shines on Beyond what we can see Now heaven waits for you and me Now a star to light the night And all you left behind Has truly touched my life My friend to you I say goodbye

This is the strangest place Seems like endless space I can't see so well Is it heaven, is it hell What am I gonna find Have I been here before Am I forever more I look for something real Something I can touch and feel What am I gonna find... what am I Someone out there that can show me the way Nothing here seems real, am I going insane Am I caught in a dream or locked behind the door And as I walk upon the water Not knowing where I stand Is this for me what god has ordered I'm just trying to understand I see faces in a haze Are they ghosts of yesterday They seem to know me well The stories that they tell What am I gonna find All I can say, trying to find my way It's gonna be alright, I'm gonna be alright Life is a game... A game we all must play It's gonna be alright... you're gonna be alright And as I walk upon the water Not knowing where I stand Is this for me what god has ordered I'm just trying to understand If I open my eyes, will this all disappear Should I follow the light, or should I remain here If I follow my heart, will it show me the way Past the twists and the turns that await me on this day

Stories told through your life So many meanings held inside There for you to see Beyond the doors of broken dreams Are they real or fantasy You may never know Tales on your TV... in papers, magazines All you see is pain, to spike right through your brain Stories, Stories, Stories... Now inside this living hell The fires burn... the violence swells Is it destiny Time to face judgment day On your knees, time to pray To the lord above Sure he's heard the lies The twisted truth... the cries They fall on his deaf ear His punishment we fear Stories, stories... They will somehow find you Stories, stories... There to remind you Stories, stories... Beware which ones you follow Stories, stories... Here today, gone tomorrow Stories, stories... True-false, we always listen Stories, stories... They truly are unforgiven

I've got a lot to say But there is just so little time Some of what I say Will cross lines And I want to know A direction we can go A road we all can follow I've got to, I've got to, I've got to Open up your eyes With our lives they play 'Til the mind just twists inside Got to run away Leave it all behind And I want to know Will you let it go The nightmares never over I've got to, I've got to, I've got to Open up your eyes

Living in disguise I'm sure they have arrived Strange race seeking power Countdown designated hour Really want to know Are they friend or foe Or just a cast of lunatics Oh... you never know Oh no... you never know They're here amongst us all They seek the west to fall Evil souls, twisted minds Just waiting for a sign Inside their hatred grows From the lies they've been told Who's the loser in the end Oh... you never know Oh no... you never know Everywhere sleeper cells Standing at the gates of hell Satan smiles with delight Soon to feed his appetite Do you want to know What he has in store For you the pain Will never end

On and on... and on and on Down this round I'm traveling on I don't want to go... I don't want to go I don't want to go... But I must Try to touch someone Everybody, everybody's telling me so Telling me which way I should go I don't really care... I don't really care I don't really care... I'm still alone Then I find a way to laughing inside Just doing time... doing time... doing time The only way I will go... I will go... I will go Is when it's time for me to fly Always someone's talking Always someone's walking Turn their backs to it all Someone is mistaken Someone's slowly breaking Got your back against the wall So once again I'm left to hide another Day of cuts and scars I've been saving through time Now it's time for me to go Time for me to go Time for me to go Time for me to fly

Firestorms now fill the sky The light of day dies into night World approaching bitter end All life stops, then starts again Nowhere to go Nowhere at all No more Saturday nights No more days of our lives No Saturday nights No more, no more Mass confusion hear to plea The end of all humanity Armageddon's finally here Now our fates becoming clear Nowhere to run The end has begun No more Saturday nights Nor more days of our lives No Saturday nights No more, no more
