Strangers in Paradise
Morning has broken; you stare at the clouds from your windowpane Voices that fade in the mist, you try to call out in vain Lost in the shadows Whilst standing at the crossroads heavily burdened Came forth a vision with a message so clear [Chorus]: You can borrow beg or steal, but... If you care to make a deal Listen to the devil's trill I'll play for your sole delight Now come and take my hand Until you meet your end I swear to be your servant Fire, fire, I'll be waiting by your funeral pyre Fire down below. Burn in, Fire, fire, I'll grant you what your heart desires Rest and be assured, I will! Young heart of gold you've been warned, you've been told not to call his name Stuck in this place for so long, enthralled by a fake romance Lost for a lifetime There's no way out of here you're caught in a landslide The hall of whispered dreams where heretics dance [Chorus] Silent cursed and alone you dwell Rebuked for a thousand years Ending your life in tears Vanquished by all your fears Cast out of Eden's garden And robbed of all pardon! You can borrow beg or steal, but... If you care to make a deal Listen to the devil's trill And walk with me once more. [Chorus] Waiting by your funeral pyre Burning flames to fuel the fire
New flesh arise, so synchronised Their bodies spasm to the score Evangelise their weakened minds I leave them hungry for more... I medicate, obliterate And leave you drowning in my wake Your last mistake, you can't escape My stranglehold on you [Chorus]: Wasted dreams Stigmata burning me Bleeding hearts just don't beat The Madness Screaming with laughter On Highways to Nowhere Desensitised and ostracised The hunted stalking the hunter I paralyse, I neutralise You'll wear a new Mark of Cain Eradicate the human trait That separates the Simian I'll desecrate, eliminate The good that's left in you [Chorus] Young and free The crowd is your natural enemy So keen to stamp your identity An individual heresy You're nothing out of the ordinary Just like me.... No strength survives this genocide Of mind and muscle in decay Self satisfied and pacified You watch your life slip away You mutilate, self flagellate A standard bearer for the plague A life undone, somebody's son Blue-black insanity [Chorus]

Dawning spring when vows were spoken Summer flames are not meant to last that long When daylight fades away, make your mind up leave or stay The door's tow open Autumn paints the skies of twilight Winter nights hide everything under snow Receding in the cold, dreams that can be bought or sold With faithless tokens [Chorus]: And when the sun goes down I still hear you call my name Among these shattered bonds It's too late to make amends You forsake your better angels on the battlefield Only broken hearts are real Cloaked in mist you hide your daggers Passed the hours from morning 'til midnight tolled Whilst faithful by my post, I can hear the mournful ghosts Of swains departed Can we bridge the distance between us, if you spend your nights on the run? By the river wraithlike whispers make me shiver When you trample logic and reason, treason can be seen from afar Monster, sneerer, creeping, crawling, coming nearer [Chorus] Angels on the battlefield Only broken hearts are real... I turn my head and see you slipping away [Chorus] I'll pay the ferryman so you cross the Acheron, You call my name; echoes of the past still remain You forsake your better angels on the battlefield Only broken hearts are real

Ooh baby don't you cry I know you're lying Ooh I can see it in your eyes Though you keep on denying Did you really think that I would be the one That waits by your door My heart's back on the road Our memories will... Fade away Just drift away Until they're sealed in time and locked from view A fragment of both me and you You keep on banging on the wall You're not getting through Ooh pictures on a wall of sunshine embraces Ooh cause you thought you had it all Now it's all lost & wasted No one hears you when you cry alone at night You're down on your own The dawn's a lonely friend And loneliness won't... Fade away Drift away Until it's sealed in time and locked from view A whisper of both me and you You keep on banging on the wall You're not getting through Can't fight this emptiness Broken in two Don't throw your heart in vain Baby... [Chorus]: Once our love was like a rose in bloom Rose in bloom Now it's lust a lost horizon Pale like a winter moon And all the dead flowers that adorn your room Broken dreams and lost horizons I'm telling you [Chorus] Lovers fade away like shadows They turn into fleeting shadows of the past Ooh pictures on a wall...

Come sell your soul Chase the crested wave Brave the siren's call Beyond all control With no kings and no crosses Atrocities out of sight Sail at first light Stand and fight Rip through the night Come and join me You wont believe your eyes [Chorus]: Princes of Freedom Blaze into Oblivion Eyes Gleaming The Sons of Perdition Killed the Dream of Eden Stained Crimson They'll never stop Me now We're the Wrath of God So come take my hand As we trample down these virgin sands Cursed to a man God will drown in this jungle Away from the promised land High command Treasure bleeds from the Heart of the Sun We will win, we are strong, we're young Arcadians They will greet us as Gods, yeah Seven seas couldn't keep us away Victory by the break of the day We'll save our souls And burn them at the stake [Chorus] Please don't treat me like a renegade Don't put out my eyes Don't take the sun away As I take my first steps Over the edge of the world I tell you My name is written in eternity This isn't the last you're gonna see of me I don't want no last chance Bring it on, I'll advance and taste my freedom Freedom! [Chorus]

Take me to the place where the fires are burning Ere you stood your ground, now your fates are turning We make our enemies cower A hungry lion that feasts on blood of men We crush your pride and your power - Taunting the heavens, your destined end awaits Fall with all our might upon the thickest of the fight Don't run in fear now Come try my spear now I'll leave your flesh and your bones for the vultures, yeah With dark wings coming to devour their pray My thundering cry brings men to their knees Like furious storms that lash at the seas Take me to the place where the fires are burning... Take me to the place where the fires are burning Ere you stood your ground, now your fates are turning Our ranks are braking battalions Furious onset that withers lives of men Don't turn your back like a coward The earth shall drink all the blood you spill today Through the sun-starved night, until the morrow brings the light Saffron-clad at dawn; Aurora. Lying dead for all your sorrows Shattered shield and bones Fire, fire, fire, fire! Fire on your high walls Burning down your towers Ravaging your white halls Offerings to Ares Raven of destruction Perched up on your towers Taming down your warlust Slay or be slain Only death shall remain!

Silence can't save skin and bone Face down the diamonds of crushed glass on stone Sound the warning, hear the marching feet Running out of the shadows, they're back on the streets [Chorus]: The Endless slaves of tyranny In flames you'll fall Give my blood for liberty For one and all Chanting of the same old song Just taunts the memories, of the fallen ones, And when we meet them on the barricades, We'll get straight to the point at the edge of a blade [Chorus] No tears if we fall by the wayside No tears if we fall on our swords Every nation gathered around us Trust our fury And we'll rise up tomorrow It's time to cross the line There's no retreat We'll take the streets We'll never stop Until we beat [Chorus] Trust our fury

No one looks twice at the runt of the litter An evil cradling, a saviour embittered The dark is stealing the light Fear let you in but your secret's not for sale Madman chasing the night Dead souls give birth to a world beyond the pale The fools entrusted the keys to the kingdom Blind men who planted the seeds of destruction Standing alone and you're caught in my dream Sleeping at night and I can't hear you scream Sacrifice you and I'd sacrifice me You're a drop in the ocean of my vanity You scarred us all But then you rose without a trace [Chorus]: The dark is stealing the light Fear let you In but your secret's not for sale Madman chasing the night Dead souls give birth to a world beyond the pale You had it planned Planned from the start You took a chance And burnt your heart away A million men Just couldn't stop The chosen one Who lives to be obeyed Another lie Deceives the eye But two wrongs can't make a right A blackened heart Too late to hide The loneliness inside... And if you want it I know you're gonna take it Ride the road to ruin Greed is your salvation Stop it! Are words you can't conceive of Ends defy the means We're marching to damnation Suffer! The ones that you ignored The ones without a hope The child without a future Nothing! Can satisfy the hunger That destroys the peace for paranoia In faraway places, hidden from sight A burning ambition snuffs out a life A smiling face masks the stench of corruption A rejects dream brings a world to extinction Standing alone and you're caught in my dream Sleeping at night and I can't hear you scream Sacrifice you and I'd sacrifice me You're a drop in the ocean of my vanity [Chorus]

Like a light, that fades Receding down a highway Like the last flicker in an old man's eyes It's the cold touch Of Winter on your shoulder You've gone too far From the start When the Sunset Broke your heart into a diamond And to sleep meant a dream of endless skies In the white heat Of pride that drove you further You ride on through Midnight will find you [Chorus]: Sending out a signal It's on the air tonight A scream becomes a whisper You're welcoming the night Close the door behind you You're never looking back Cause you're far away like a falling star baby Far away, but you're burning in my heart Steal a breath, take a care Cause the men don't like a drifter They wanna close your eyes And shut your Dreamtime down Every map has an end That hides a new horizon You saw that too You went the distance [Chorus] For so long You left your sorrows behind you For so long You wove your secrets around you You're gone You left when I found you Far away like a falling star baby Far away like a falling star baby [Chorus] Cause you're far away like a falling star baby Far away but you're burning bright Far away like a falling star baby Far away but you're burning in my heart Don't ever look behind you, You're flying free You're never looking back...
