Many years ago My heart and soul was full of fire Breaking heads – hit and run And the sun was brighter So wild and reckless Cared about no law and order We used to ram – the black and whites They called a six-one-niner (Those were my glory days) (Just bad-boys-crazy-ways) (My wild-man-holy-times) I always shot on sight And I recall the sin And I recall the sin In many sleepless nights I found the dream I’m missing Kicking ass, living fast Been living in a prison Time to change the colors... Sweep away the madness Here I come, back for good Say good-bye to sadness (Those were my glory days) (Just bad-boys-crazy-ways) (My wild-man-holy-times) I always shot on sight And I recall the sin And I recall the sin (Those were my glory days) (Just bad-boys-crazy-ways) (My wild-man-holy-times) (Those were my glory days) (Just bad-boys-crazy-ways) (My wild-man-holy-times) I always shot on sight And I recall the sin And I recall the sin And I recall the sin And I recall the sin Ah... and I recall the sin... Hmm... and I recall the sin... Ah... and I recall the sin... Ah... and I recall the sin...

Well, the lightning flashed at midnight And the dogs did howl along You don’t believe it – unless you’ve seen it It was the night the thunder broke (the thunder broke...) There is no more creation No room for good – no hope You better cry for salvation – as The reaper dangled by the rope (by the rope...) A scream for help – the morning after They’d equalized the score And in their minds – there’s only laughter A smile – without a cause And there was thunder (thunder) in the tower (tower) As the cat crept out There was thunder (thunder) in the tower (tower) There’s no escape – no doubt It’s been the night the birds were silent And the town was deadly still A curling lip – an icy grip And bony fingers that can kill (that can kill...) Assembling in the tower The payment bloody high (bloody high...) They tried to cheat their final hour He’s gonna get them eye to eye (eye to eye...) A scream for help – the morning after They’d equalized the score And in their minds – there’s only laughter A smile – without a cause And there was thunder (thunder) in the tower (tower) Screaming silence in the air There was thunder (thunder) in the tower (tower) Awesome power everywhere And there was thunder (thunder) in the tower (tower) They didn’t care it’s right or wrong There was thunder (thunder) in the tower (tower) And the reaper came along (came along...) (Thunder) (Thunder) (Thunder) (Thunder) (Thunder) (Thunder) (Thunder) (Thunder) (Thunder) And there was thunder (thunder) in the tower (tower) Screaming silence in the air There was thunder (thunder) in the tower (tower) Awesome power everywhere And there was thunder (thunder) in the tower (tower) They didn’t care it’s right or wrong There was thunder (thunder) in the tower (tower) And the reaper came along (came along...) (Thunder) (Thunder) (There was thunder in the tower)

A voice in the back – the lies and the fears No color but black – the truth disappears Just by the look in your eyes I can tell That your honor is gone – you’re caught in confusion and pain... Mysterious sounds – hidden in ice Your lying is found – protective disguise No one is braking the wheels are forsaken In sheer overdrive – diamonds and rust Breaking their lives – I burst them to dust Friends will be friends Down on this dirty road Friends will be friends One for all The meaning is wrong – there’s no reason why The logic is gone – it’s hard to deny... No one is braking the wheels are forsaken In sheer overdrive – diamonds and rust Breaking their lives – I burst them to dust Friends will be friends Down on this dirty road Friends will be friends All for one, one for all Friends will be friends Down on this dirty road Friends will be friends No one is braking the wheels are forsaken Diamonds and rust – I burst them to dust Friends will be friends Down on this dirty road Friends will be friends All for one, one for all

Fearing the day, hiding the light My mind is shocked with fever Evil will play, night after night They are the soul receivers Yeah, they are strangers in the night Yeah, they’re endangering your life Drinking your tears, embracing your fears Danger – the lair is hard to find Danger – so keep that in your mind Ripping me up, tearing me down My soul is crying “action!” Terror is king but I got the crown I’ll start a chain reaction Yeah, they are strangers in the night Yeah, they’re endangering your life Drinking your tears, embracing your fears Danger – a madness in the air Danger – dimensions everywhere Whispering names on lonely roads With eyes camouflaged in shadows They stalk the earth in silent packs No time to die tomorrow Danger – the lair is hard to find Danger – so keep that in your mind Danger – a madness in the air Danger – dimensions everywhere

Night after night Day after day Hours and seconds to go Dying of fright Nothing to say I’ve got no money to show Picking at the bits and pieces of this puzzle game Educated reasons – why I have to wear this shame Hey you – cut me out Come back – and put my money down Hey you – what have I done to you? Don’t, don’t spread the news around Dreams in my sleep Are tales from the cards I see the final countdown Reptiles that creep Pushing me hard Making me go one more round Just another night – begging for mercy What can I do – pleading ‘n’ searching In the night Hey you – cut me out Come back – and put my money down Hey you – what have I done to you? Don’t, don’t spread the news around Picking at the bits and pieces of this puzzle game Educated reasons – why I have to wear this shame (Hey you) Hey you – cut me out Come back – and put my money down Hey you – what have I done to you? Don’t, don’t spread the news around Hey you – cut me out Come back – and put my money down Hey you – what have I done to you? Don’t, don’t spread the news around (Hey you)
