Jon Oliva’s Pain
Album • 2004
The smoke from my last cigarette Disappears into the lights Waiting on something to make this feeling right I twist and moan, and turn the other cheek I wait for my moment to be free Im not alone Im not alone The night is black it twists and turns Inside its agony It waits for you, it waits for me, in all its majesty I can feel it, I can hear it, I can see it Slowly coming closer to me now Its breathing, heart is beating, thoughts misleading Reality has somehow broken down Slowly slips away, slips into the grave I dont think Ill ever, ever, ever get away Somehow save our souls, as the darkness calls From beyond these walls I feel somethings going wrong The dark descends upon this World of anger, hate and greed Surrounding you, engulfing me Now all that we can see Lying, cheating, children bleeding Mothers pleading Will you stop it, will you stop it now Can you feel it, do you hear it Its so near, its coming closer, coming closer now Tell me what you see Tell me what you know Tell me can we ever really ever get away Try to save our souls as the dark unfolds All thats still untold I feel somethings going wrong And as the dark begins to die into another day And fate is testing once again all we can do is pray To sweet Jesus, will you lead us, do you hear us Calling to you, calling to you now Were praying, contemplating, situations That can fall before us even know Tell us what you need, tell us what you want As the hands of time have all but exited the play Tell us whats in store, fall all that stand before As the dark unfolds I feel somethings going wrong

I told you about the sirens And the hunger for flesh I showed you the dungeons Beneath the city's unrest Feel the power of the night Make the legions strong And by the grace of the witch I bring to you this song: hear the people say Hear the people say Hear the people say Hear the people say Just gimme some hell We enter the halls of the mountain king Beyond the doors of the dark Flying on strange wings From the streets to the gutter In a summer's rain Do you hear the hounds they call And tonight he grins again: hear the people say Hear the people say Hear the people say Hear the people say Just gimme some hell Somewhere in time I believe Visions off in a dream Start as nothing turn to something Look to the morning sun Through the hourglass One child turns to me And says: Take a chance Hear the people say Hear the people say Hear the people say Just gimme some hell Somewhere in time I believe Visions off in a dream Start as nothing turn to something

The silent night begins to call He listens for the voices from the crumbling walls And through the mist beneath the sky He watches as the seconds of your life go by I see sorrows, laughter, fear from the other side Rainbows blackened, innocence fractured And left to die And if I could change the world Id stop just watching Time, as she unfurls All the lives still searching Searching for the light of day He always sees the dark this way He sits here helplessly watching time Its beginning to fade See its not in his control All the lives bought and sold Nothing there to grasp or hold Watching your soul fly away Fly away Ive seen chapters, world disasters Nearing genocide Schizophrenia, megalomania Mass suicide And if I could change the world Id stop just watching Time, as she unfurls All the lives still searching Searching for the light of day He always sees the dark this way He sits here helplessly watching time Its beginning to fade See its not in his control All the lives bought and sold He sits there helplessly watching time Its beginning to fade

Bridges burn, the lessons learned Often slip the mind Complicate the life we live With answers we can't find And its true, yeah And all that we plan everyday And all that we have is slipping away Set apart a timeless flight In search of destiny Visions twisting through the night Are shadows we now see And its true, yeah And all that we plan everyday And all that we have is slipping away Chase our dreams endlessly To see what we can find With everyday a part of us Is left to ponder time And its true, yeah And all that we plan everyday And all that we have is slipping away

How can you walk alone child How can you walk alone How can you walk alone child How can you walk alone Everytime I look into your eyes I feel the pain inside How can you walk alone child How can you walk alone I feel it, I feel it, down inside yes I see it, I see it all the time yes Im bleeding, Im bleeding from inside Can Christ see it Someone heal me Before my times up Why can't I sleep at night dear Why can't I sleep at night Why can't I sleep at night dear Why can't I sleep at night Everytime I try to close my eyes The nightmares arrive Why can't I sleep at night dear I just can't sleep at night I feel it, I feel it, down inside yes I see it, I see it all the time yes Im bleeding, Im bleeding from inside Can Christ see it Someone heal me Before my times up Im telling you, better listen to me This is what its gonna take for your soul to be free If you feel like pushing to the edge Better take a step back, find a friend Or something you can hold on to Thatll make you feel better, thatll make you cool And if you got one, give it to me so I can finally be set free How do you walk alone child

Lets go into the darkness surrounding you Mind goes, it's the first step to breaking you Chase the wind as you twist and spin and you Wanna hide, wanna die To everything that they did or bring, and you Wanna hide, wanna die I know it's too late to save your soul Mind games, they cut you like the bitter cold Sucks you into this life of sin and you Wanna hide, wanna die No escape from this world you made and you Wanna hide, wanna die All emotions now turning to stone Icy fingers gripping your soul No escape from the fears that you've shown It's all you have in this world of your own Don't wait, you must discard what's poisoned you It's okay, I know one day we'll find the truth Chase the wind as you twist and spin and you Wanna hide, wanna die No escape from the dreams you've made and you Wanna hide, wanna die

Oh, our world how its changed Nothings the same, I dont think it could ever be Life, life rearranged Body insane, what the hell do you want from me With every second surrounding you You just can't think when youre scared And is the end really approaching you Why can't we run away to another time Another place where your soul is safe Complications in your life They say only the strong survive Revolution coast to coast Father, Son, Holy Ghost Watch, watch the deranged It rattles my brain, I just cannot comprehend Things, things that I see on my TV When will all this madness end When every waking hour is engulfing you Its just so hard to think when youre scared And is the end really approaching you Why can't we fly away to another time Another place where your soul is safe Complications in your life They say only the strong survive Revolution coast to coast Father, Son, Holy Ghost With every second surrounding you Its just so hard to think when youre scared And is the end really approaching you Why can't we dream away to another time Another place where your soul is safe Complications in your life They say only the strong survive Revolution coast to coast Father, Son, Holy Ghost

I can only stare and wonder Dreams and visions That I ponder, so clearly now There before me, figure in darkness Rage and anger, cold and heartless He wants to take me back somehow I can't take it no more Tempting fate, my soul awaits its crucifixion I can't take it no more The influence imprisons me With its intrigue, as you can see A punishment I live out all the time Something inside me wants to break out Lies with conviction, leaving no doubt Hes waiting there Looks for weakness, tries to persuade me His certain ending is all that I see He wants to take me back somehow I can't take it no more Tempting fate, my soul awaits its crucifixion I can't take it no more The influence imprisons me With its intrigue, as you can see A punishment I live out all the time

How do you feel about life Are you tired of trying How do you feel about gods Do you think they were lying How do you feel about peace And the wars we keep fighting In a world divided They know something we don't know Not much time here left to go Nowhere to run, nowhere to run They just keep denying We know they're all lying Soon it will show, soon it will show How do you feel about war And the thousands left dying Can you see through their eyes Politicians conniving Terrorism, disease and the suicide bombings No one's disarming They know something we don't know Not much time here left to go Nowhere to run, nowhere to run They just keep denying We know they're all lying Soon it will show, soon it will show What's left for me to say We are headed for judgement day They know something we don't know Not much time here left to go Nowhere to run, nowhere to run They just keep denying We know they're all lying Soon it will show, nowhere to run

You cannot run or hide From the pain that lives inside Taking everything you own As we speak its taking your soul It will never wait It anticipates Every move you make Sends you out of control Now The rage inside, you can feel it grow The knife in your heart, it begins to show You run and you run but can't get away From the agony of the pain You cannot stop it now Every nerve in your body growls Mind craves spirit unrest Heres to the curse that now lay at rest It will never wait It anticipates Every move you make Sends you out of control Now The rage inside, you can feel it grow A knife in the heart, it begins to show I run and I run but can't get away From the agony of the pain

As I walk in the shadows of darkness Without a place to hide You know I can't help but look over my shoulder Im waiting for the knife to arrive And I know I might seem a little bit paranoid You know, its just my way Sometimes I get the feeling Im on borrowed time Anyway, thats what most of us say Somethings taking over me I dont know just what could it be Feels strange, like a kind of glow What it is I dont want to know And in another life I swear Ive heard it all before And in the dead of night It sits just outside the door I believe that tonight Ill be wasted Can't stop me when Im out on the town You know, I wake dreaming about tomorrow And what it may all bring to light You know, I believe all men were created equal Red, yellow, black or white Somethings taking over me I dont know just what could it be Feels strange, like a kind of glow What it is I dont want to know And in another life I swear Ive heard it all before And in the dead of night It sits just outside the door I believe that tonight Ill be wasted Can't stop me when Im out on the town I can feel it, I can taste it Can't stop me when Im out on the town

Long ago, oh so long ago How time passed slowly by And the days seem like years Never a thought or a fear Ever really mattered to me Now I stand here today just trying to make my way Nothings getting through to me Ill fly away Had to look, you just had to look At the signs that passed us by Ive got one thing to say Judge each of your days by the light you see Cause time she goes by like a bird in the sky Till theres nothing left to see Ill fly away All this time spinning round, holding on to nothing I can feel Reaching out, full of doubt, twist and turn But Im always falling down Time to free your soul Ill fly away
