Keen are the eyes of the wolf<br/> Loveless and hungry they hunt for the hunted<br/> Crisp as the frost underfoot<br/> Entrails everywhere<br/> Lycanthropic-transformation-wanton murder<br/> Howling fearless-incantation-lunar transient<br/> <br/> Handed down through centuries<br/> Now the curse descends on me<br/> <br/> Insicor<br/> Insicor<br/> <br/> Fierce is the tide in my veins<br/> Mighty the heart of the wolverine killer<br/> Nothing to quiet the pain<br/> Blood lust drives me on<br/> Ah the children-of the night-hear them singing<br/> Random victims-all fall down-torn and bleeding<br/> <br/> Will i find no sanctuary<br/> Silver round to set me free<br/> <br/> Incisor<br/> Incisor<br/> <br/> Subhuman nature, maintaining the balance<br/> To cull all the land<br/> Lupine the hunter, a new breed evolving<br/> To slaughter the lamb<br/> <br/> Haunted down through centuries<br/> Now the curse descends on me<br/> <br/> Incisor incisor<br/> Incisor incisor

Running from the beast in black<br/> Two steps forward, one step back<br/> I can't hide; he always finds me, just then...<br/> On the edge and looking down<br/> Just below, I hit the ground<br/> In a flash I'm spinning around again, I can...<br/> <br/> Dream - in blood red<br/> Dream - it real<br/> Dream - a nightmare<br/> When dark is the night<br/> <br/> Trapped in oak, I cannot see<br/> Buried air engulfing me<br/> I cry out, but no-one hears it, just then...<br/> All around the walking dead<br/> In my room and in my head<br/> Just as I'm becoming one of them - back again?<br/> <br/> Dream - in blood red<br/> Dream - it real<br/> Dream - a nightmare<br/> When dark is the night<br/> <br/> In ten shades of black (as I sleep),<br/> I fly like the wind<br/> In ten shades of black (as I sleep),<br/> I fly like the wind<br/> <br/> Freezing and cold - naked and old<br/> No teeth in my head and now everyone's laughing<br/> Drowning at birth - the end of the earth<br/> I'm shot and I'm stabbed and I'm climbing the walls<br/> Poisoned and weak - spiders that speak<br/> Screwing the ass of the President's daughter<br/> Thousands of doors - nuclear wars<br/> The aliens are coming and they can see into my soul!<br/> <br/> In ten shades of black (as I sleep),<br/> I fly like the wind<br/> In ten shades of black (as I sleep),<br/> I fly like the wind

Late last night, the news began to break<br/> Mankind's worst fear realised<br/> Red sky dawning over seas opaque<br/> Hosts the solar suicide<br/> <br/> Where will you run<br/> When there's no use in running?<br/> Life-giving sun (life-giving sun)<br/> When she draws near, there will be a...<br/> <br/> Riot on Earth!<br/> Riot on Earth!<br/> Riot on Earth!<br/> Riot on Earth gone wild!<br/> <br/> Nothing could prepare us for that day<br/> Time and tide was running down<br/> Social breakdown cross a land of hate<br/> Man and beast all as one now<br/> <br/> We'll see who we are,<br/> When the heavens are falling<br/> In a flash from afar (see what we are)<br/> When the sun comes comes near, there will be a...<br/> <br/> Riot on Earth! Global extermination<br/> Riot on Earth! Panic everywhere<br/> Riot on Earth! Mass life annihilation<br/> Riot on Earth gone Wild!<br/> <br/> Where will you run<br/> When there's no use in running?<br/> Life-giving sun (life-giving sun)<br/> When she draws near, there will be a...<br/> <br/> Riot on Earth!

Many years ago, I traced the path of falling stars<br/> Celestial angels, so near and yet so far<br/> If I could have my life a million times over again<br/> Still I would never see the reason for it all<br/> <br/> I look inside myself - a universe of questions<br/> Where all the answers seem the same<br/> Six billion points of light - and all at once, the silence<br/> They cried for help but no-one came.<br/> <br/> Forgive me if I seem distant and pre-occupied,<br/> But what if I'm to be the shepherd of the souls?<br/> <br/> In dreams I saw the signs - the Tower and the Fire,<br/> But youthful eyes, they seldom see<br/> A wiser man than I might bring the world a warning,<br/> Yet not expect it to believe<br/> <br/> From deserts to the seas - a fireball from Heaven,<br/> Divine in all its irony<br/> The very flame of life - affecting our existence,<br/> Our executioner-to-be<br/> <br/> I look inside myself - a universe of questions<br/> Where all the answers seem the same<br/> Six billion points of light - and all at once, the silence<br/> They cried for help but no-one came.

I never got to see<br/> The face of the demons confronting me<br/> I never had the time<br/> To prove myself, remove myself,<br/> A paradigm<br/> <br/> What gives them the right<br/> To let them decide<br/> On this very night<br/> If I lived or died?<br/> <br/> We're waiting for the call<br/> We live together, or we fall<br/> We're waiting for the sign<br/> All stand in silence - resigned<br/> <br/> I never knew real love - 'cos I thought<br/> All this all lasts forever<br/> Or wisdom from above;<br/> No-one was watching over<br/> <br/> Now it's up to them<br/> To fashion the end<br/> Before it's too late<br/> We'll learn of our fate<br/> <br/> We're waiting for the call<br/> We live together, or we fall<br/> We're waiting for the sign<br/> All stand in silence<br/> <br/> Hear - three rings then silence<br/> The inbox flashing, something coming through<br/> The message terse and complicated<br/> There's only space for me - this just can't be!<br/> <br/> We're waiting for the call<br/> We live together, or we fall<br/> We're waiting for the sign<br/> All stand in silence - resigned

SAVE ME<br/> From the guilt and the heartache I feel<br/> TAKE ME<br/> To a higher ground that no-one can find<br/> TELL ME<br/> How do I leave her this way?<br/> TO DIE<br/> How can I leave her behind?<br/> <br/> Heavy the rain that disguises<br/> The tears in her eyes<br/> Errie the silence that falls<br/> As the sentence is heard<br/> Nothing seems real in this<br/> Longest all of our goodbyes<br/> I smile but inside I'm dying<br/> <br/> Dusk - as the hourglass falls<br/> Lovers and losers<br/> Lost - in the last kiss of all<br/> How can I lose her?<br/> <br/> I said that I'm staying with her till the end<br/> She said it's mankind, not her, I must defend<br/> <br/> We talked for hours<br/> About all the plans we had made<br/> Cried at the memory<br/> Of when you first told me you cared<br/> Now in these final few moments we have,<br/> We're alone<br/> Right at the end, she was smiling<br/> <br/> Dusk - as the hourglass falls<br/> Lovers and losers<br/> Lost - in the last kiss of all<br/> How can I lose her?<br/> <br/> You'll never fly so high<br/> You'll never walk alone<br/> (She said) You'll never feel my pain,<br/> Do this one last thing for me...<br/> Goodbye<br/> <br/> Dusk - as the hourglass falls<br/> Lovers and losers<br/> Lost - in the last kiss of all<br/> How can I lose her?

I heard the sound of people crying<br/> And as I turned to walk away<br/> A child's hand, held out and dying<br/> And all I knew, I leave today<br/> The sky was red, I still remember<br/> The day we left our world behind<br/> And driven mad with guilt and sadness<br/> The only way to save mankind!<br/> <br/> Heavy engines rage with power<br/> Pulling clear of there, we must!<br/> Solar flames and burning ashes<br/> They're still breathing down there, in the dust<br/> <br/> It's got to be something short of Hell<br/> Watching on as the Eagle pulls away<br/> You'd think their eyes were surely watching God<br/> Passing sentence on Judgement Day<br/> <br/> And all as one,<br/> Flee from engulfing sun<br/> <br/> Speed of light now, rest a while<br/> Close my eyes and think of home<br/> What we thought was ours forever<br/> All we've built and all that we have known<br/> (Gone...)<br/> <br/> And will we ever find ourselves again<br/> On nothing but a distant point of light?<br/> Humanity is hanging by a thread,<br/> Blind faith in the Arc tonight<br/> <br/> And all as one,<br/> Flee from engulfing sun<br/> <br/> See how we run<br/> Hell sent Leviathan<br/> <br/> And I'll see the winds blow<br/> Our dried-up seeds away<br/> And all that lives, so must die<br/> In unison today<br/> And all this I remember<br/> Those last few words she swore in vain<br/> "Although I can't be there, I'm watching,<br/> And now in you, my spirit shall remain"<br/> <br/> And there she stands<br/> Strange skies and alien lands<br/> New age begun<br/> Far from Leviathan

Greater men than I<br/> Were cowering on the floor<br/> It seemed the day<br/> Was lost to madness<br/> <br/> All our yesterdays have burned away<br/> <br/> In that fateful hour<br/> So many passed from view<br/> All the promise of forever<br/> <br/> All our yesterdays have burned away<br/> <br/> Now I must be strong<br/> With all this tension building<br/> Something must be done<br/> The final chapter filled in now<br/> <br/> In my hand<br/> There's a precious heart-shaped stone<br/> Nothing more precious<br/> Will I ever own<br/> <br/> Now nervous eyes I see<br/> Are watching every move<br/> It seems this day<br/> Is lost to madness

How many times have we tried to save the world?<br/> How many dreams have been lost and not recalled?<br/> How many lives did it take to see<br/> What a peaceful place our Earth could be?<br/> How many times have we tried to save the world?<br/> <br/> How many gods did we make to save our souls?<br/> How many sins did we try to hide away?<br/> How much love did we turn to hate?<br/> In a sea of blind faith we suffocate<br/> How many times have we tried to save the world?<br/> <br/> We fought each other for far too long<br/> On land we thought would go on and on<br/> Now everything we had is gone,<br/> And it all seems clearer now...<br/> <br/> How many times have we tried and tried to...<br/> How many times have we tried to save the world?<br/> How many times have we wished upon a star?<br/> <br/> For ages long we have stumbled blind<br/> With no regard of our borrowed time<br/> The roses burned and the gardens died<br/> And it all seems clearer now...<br/> <br/> How many times did we try... to... save... the...
