Deep inside your mind there is a place for you to go
When you close your eyes, you drift asleep and you’ll find you’re not alone
Can you tell me what you see when shadows disappear
Does the vision turn to madness can you see your deepest fears
Now I see my calling – the path which I’m to lead
Floating through a tunnel at the end you see a light
A woman screams, a baby cries, and it echoes through the night
Forces dance before your eyes and death is everywhere
And if you die in ShadowLand, you will stay forever there
Surrounding me is darkness, what I see I must believe
Shadows shift and voices call but you can’t move or scream
Cause if you answer, you’ll be trapped inside this nightmare dream
As old men die the children, we laugh, and the wickedness begins
It pulls you into ShadowLand, it’s the birth of all your sins
Now I see my calling, what I see I must believe in ShadowLand
I don’t need to fantasize, another night I will get by
Changes come, got a hold on it, don’t you think I’m such a hypocrite
I’ve got no limits, my head held high, spinning my wheels aint afraid to die
Free and easy, living clean, the way to fortune lies unseen
I don’t care, sometimes I’m not even there
I don’t mind, as long as it still feels fine oh fine
Alone, in a dream, the problem is that there’s no one around
A starry night, a midnight haze, walking along tried to make the grade
Stopped at the line, had to pay my toll, A felony fine now I’m growing old
I won the battle cause I’m not dead, and in the tunnel a light up ahead
Two steps forward and one step back, sophisticated maniac
I don’t care, sometimes I’m not even there
I don’t mind, as long as it still feels fine oh fine
Alone, in a dream, the problem is that there’s no one around
Rising Up, breaking chains that keep me bound
Looking for a sign that my feet are on the ground
Reaching out, far beyond the eyes can see
We can scale those walls, that hide discovery
Under tow, this world it travels through time
Acting out the dreams and schemes that are within the mind
All systems go, always look ahead
The past is gone now the fire it must be fed
Spinning free, who’s to say if I’ve won
No time for rest unfinished deeds to be done
And I’m going home, but I don’t know what for
Around another turn, I think I’ve been there, I think I’ve been there before
Control is in your hands, decisions must be made
Illusion everywhere, consequences to be paid
It just goes on, it seems without an end
Living for ideas, no one can defend
Evil thoughts and deeds, corruptions seal your fate
No place to run our hide, your time is getting late
You weren’t prepared for the price you had to pay
And now you find yourself with nothing, more to say
Bottle in hand, in your pockets a grand - You’re ready for a night on the town
You’ve got a fine, foxy lady who’s looking to please - And she knows she won’t let you down
The parties going to slow so you go to the show - A rock illusion is just what you need
Music and lights rocking you through the night – An Electric Fantasy
Let the sound build like thunder, we’ve got to make people believe what we feel
Rocking and Rollin the parties just starting for real
Standing in line just to see the show – you are waiting
Like a red eyed stallion smells the wind – anticipating
The storm to rise and the spotlights like eyes to start dancing
As you wait for the music to take you to another place
Let the sound build like thunder, we’ve got to make people believe what you feel
Rocking and Rollin the parties just starting for real
Bodies entwined, moving in time, a situation out of control
Crossing that fine line, waiting some good time, crawling up out of that hole
As waves of pleasure assault your ears, a sweet sensation up and down your spine
Pushing and shoving, some are into hot loving, out on the floor tonight
Let the sound build like thunder, we’ve got to make people believe what we see
Rocking and Rollin the parties just starting for real for me
Let the sound build like thunder, we’ve got to make people believe what we feel
Rocking and Rollin the parties just starting for real for me
I know girl that our time are few - It’s much too long between each night.
When I can hold you in my arms and be with you - When I do it feels so right
Time are changing rearraigning the way we see our lives
Incomplete and ever strange it makes me feel so high, feel so high
Over and over we plan the days - I turn to look, you’re there by my side
Make the right choice, there are so many ways – for you and me to be able to fly
You and me girl can make it to the top just hold on tight
Close your eyes and take my hand, and love me through the night, through the night
Will – will you wait for me, I don’t know when we’ll be in my arms again
Never - never set me free, hold me so tight tonight, hold me so tight tonight
One day soon if we can work it out – we’ll be together every day
But as for now we must bide our time - there’ll be plenty of time left to play
Take my hand and hold on tight, together we can win
This race against a time so cruel, it seems to never end, but it will end
Will – will you wait for me, I don’t know when we’ll be in my arms again
Never - never set me free, hold me so tight tonight, hold me so tight tonight
Time for me goes by slow - like in a dream you can’t get away
But when you say you love me it makes things easier – cause there’s magic in what you say
Show me the magic that you hold deep in your heart - Tell me secrets, make me feel, we’re not so far apart
Whisper gently that you love me, say you’ll never stop – and hold me so tight tonight
Take away my pain
Take away all my pain - all my pain, take away, all my pain, all my pain
Will – will you wait for me, I don’t know when we’ll be in my arms again
Never - never set me free, hold me so tight tonight, hold me so tight tonight, hold me so tight tonight
Up all night into dawn, there’s no rest for the wrong
I can’t bear the agony, timeless space eternally
What’s the reason, I’ve waited for so long
Someone show me, how to right this wrong
Can’t say I’m sorry, no flowers can I send
I wouldn’t matter ‘cause you’d just kick me again
I’ve seen shadows in the night, silhouettes that need no light
Waiting for the break of day, just a chance to break away
A promise spoken, but the sound was never heard
A silent sensation, I felt I had your word
Mutual attraction, I thought you were my friend
But like all the others you smiled and laughed, then you kicked me again.
My life dwells on emptiness, took a dive in the abyss
It’s time to forget the past, now I’m gonna kick some ass
I’ve got nothing to lose, and everything to gain
I’m going for broke, and feeling no pain
I’m on track now, like I’ve never been
And I won’t give you the chance to ever…
People let me tell you what you’re looking for, when you look inside that Crystal Ball
You look for love and power and the easy way out, when your back is up against the wall
You think you’ve found the answers you’ve been looking for, and you know just what you feel
And then someone comes along, and they take it away and you realize it just wasn’t real
Don’t you know, you’ve been taken the fool, baby what you see in life just ain't real
Someday you’ll find that the truth is a lie then you’ll know just how I feel
You look into the mirror, it’s looking back at you, but you don’t recognize the face that you see
As the image slowly changes before your eyes you find that madness is reality
From madness comes the knowledge the dreams you once had are fading slowly as the nightmares pass
You see that wisdom is illusion and insanities the truth as you gaze inside that looking glass
Don’t you know, you’ve been taken the fool, baby what you see in life just ain't real
Someday you’ll find that the truth is a lie then you’ll know just how I feel
You’ve got to open your eyes, or die while you’re blind, but don’t dwell too long in times of old
Cause if it catches you looking to long or too deep, it will flash white light and steal your soul
So put a velvet curtain cross that crystal window, you don’t really need to read your fate
And if you’re gonna take your mask off to see what’s inside, you better hope it’s not already too late.
Don’t you know, you’ve been taken the fool, baby what you see in life just ain't real
Someday you’ll find that the truth is a lie then you’ll know just how I feel
I live my life on back-street lights, scheming for those nickels and dimes
The time is right, yes, I know the score, A cool cool millions what I’m looking for
If I show you my games, can I change your mind, with many words that you’ll think unkind
It’s a life of habit only one way to go, live for today searching for tomorrow
Always on the run, my destinies with the setting sun, I’m home when I’m free, cause on that highway is where I’ll be
I’m just a Dead End Drifter
The clothes I got are on my back, and I’m running with a dangerous pack
I’m being mesmerized by that thin white line, come on along and we’ll have a good time
A day in one place then it’s time to move on, with the wind in my face and a hard rock song
Trying to stay alive and out of their jail, I hope when I die, I don’t go straight to hell
Always on the run, my destinies with the setting sun, I’m at home when I’m free, cause on that highway is where I’ll be
I’m just a Dead End Drifter
You’ll never see me unless I want to be seen
You might feel the heat rising off my machine
I keep my money in a hole in the wall
I’m buying anything I want at all
Always on the run, my destinies with the setting sun, I’m at home when I’m free, ‘cause on that highway is where I’ll be
I’m just a Dead End Drifter
Dead End Drifter
Dead End Drifter
Feeling sad - Acting bad - The walls come tumbling down
I’m living fast, but it’s not gonna last – I can’t help it, I’m glory bound
Sometimes I don’t know where I’m going - I can tell that from where I’ve been
Toss the dice – Rock and Roll pays the price – I’m rolling sevens – I think I’ll roll again
The future lies about yesterday’s cry - Why did it take me so long
To see the answers when the smoke clears - How could I’ve ever been so wrong
Many the times that I’ve wondered - Why it’s so fast when there isn’t a race
Unlucky in love - One thing I can think of - I’ve got to slow down – I’ve got to cut the pace
Oo oo oo - Aa aa aaa
Escaped in exile, at the end of your rope, maybe rest for a while
A new day can mean new hope
It’s unbelieving to feel up on a down - so deceiving when forward turns you around
What’s the attraction, where’s all the action - Why do you stop to stare
Just close your eyes drift into my high – You’ll find you’re already there
Well I once wished out loud, was I crazy? - Thinking all things had beginning and end
But I learned fast- that nothing’s meant to last - now I don’t slow down - going around the bend
They say I am an outlaw, a hard and callous man
Without regard for authority and blood upon my hands
I’ve lived a life of violent deeds, and I've bragged of violent crime
The wealth I’ve got to show for it are these bars I’m locked behind
But life is short, and I know well it holds no guarantee
Only death is certain, and no man is truly free
I know it's true my mother cries and my father isn’t proud
My face it ain't too welcome, back in my home town
Ten years down, ten more to go and I will leave this world behind
And take with me for years to come the scars of doing time
Cause life is short, and I know well it holds no guarantee
Only death is certain, till then you’re never free
When open road and sky again become reality
I’ll take the world into my hands and fulfill my destiny
With women, wine, and song and dance I will charge my restless soul
Excess will be my middle name till I reach that final goal
Cause life is short, and I know well it holds no guarantee
Birth is the beginning, and death’s your destiny
And life’s too short to stand and watch excitement pass me by
I’ll take what I can, then take some more before it’s time to die
