Tracks



01. Return To The Sky

Armageddon's coming down the road
Fallen angels rising from below
Hell riders come alive, to try and steal the light

The great deceivers time is running out
As the demons fight to win the war
And you will see the signs, at the end of time

We are standing on the Rock of Ages
Our treasure's deep inside
Return to the Sky
It's time to change our evil ways
All to see that you are the master

Seven seals of the tribulation
The world is spinning in its desperation
Behold the great white throne, and the Lake of Fire

Everybody stands before the Judge
You know your name is written in the Book
He holds it in his hand, worthy is the Lamb

We are standing on the Rock of Ages
Our treasures deep inside
Return to the Sky
Repent and change, our evil ways
All to see that you, Lord, are the master

Armageddon coming down the road
Are you ready for the episode?
You live your life in style, it only lasts awhile

So come along and take a ride with me
Show the world we're making history
And raise your glasses high, to the lord of Lords

We are standing on the Rock of Ages
Our treasures deep inside
Return to the Sky
It's time to change our evil ways

Return to the Sky
AII to see that you are the Master

You are the Master, Oh my Lord,
You are the Master! The Rock of Ages

02. Rising Son

Rising Son
Your love is alive

You lift me up from the valley below
Dust me off and I'm ready to go
So I realize, for your love the sacrifice
Show the world that this life is about
My burning heart is crying out
Shadows testify, the reasons why

Your love is alive
Rising Son
Your love is alive

Fisher of hearts you know you got mine
Gonna come to the end of time
Then I'll feel all your love and the power of your touch
On my life only speak the truth
Worlds collide like I never knew
Well beyond the sky, we'll never die

Your love is alive
Like the rising sun
I know your love is alive

You lift me up from the valley below
Dust me off and I'm ready to go
So I feel all your love, the power of your touch
Worlds collide like I never knew
On my life only speak the truth
Shadows testify, the reasons why

Your love is alive
Rising Son
Your love is alive
Like the rising sun
I know your love is alive

Shadows testify, the reasons why
Well beyond the sky, we'll never die

03. Countdown

War and peace, I can cure your every worry
No more disease, just charisma and the power of words
All over the world, chaos rules, demands a leader
Have no fear, I'm the one, I won't deceive you

Can't you see, I am the only one you need
One world plan, everyone needs a helping hand

Countdown to the antichrist
Saving the world with all his might
Everyone on bended, when you fear inside he's the one
You need

Free market's down, currency no longer needed
Microchips, planted underneath the skin
To buy and sell, my government's the one solution
Don't despair, I'll make sure you get your share

Can't you see, I am the only one you need
One world plan, everyone needs a helping hand

Countdown to the antichrist
Saving the world with all his might
Everyone that does concede, soon will realize that your
Freedom bleeds

Can't you see, I am the only one you need
One world plan, everyone needs a helping hand

Countdown to the antichrist
Saving the world with all his might
Everyone on bended, when you fear inside he's the one
You need
Countdown to the antichrist
Saving the world with all his might
Everyone that does concede, soon will realize that your
Freedom bleeds

04. Hollywood Shooting Star

Reach for the stars, destined for glory

Media marvel, fortune and fame
Selling your soul, this is your season
Using you up now, spitting you out

Lifetime of dreams has all come to this
Hold on so tight for the ride of your life

Hollywood shooting star - no matter where you are
Hollywood shooting star - the world thinks you're a star

Face on the cover, life on the screen
Spinning the story, selling you out
Top of the mountain, the valley's below
Watch for your back now, they're killing you slow

Lifetime of dreams has all come to this
Hold on so tight for the ride of your life

Hollywood shooting star - no matter where you are
Hollywood shooting star - the world thinks you're a star
Hollywood shooting star - you're living life so large
Hollywood shooting star - but it only goes so far

Lifetime of dreams has all come to this
Hold on so tight for the ride of your life

Hollywood shooting star - no matter where you are
Hollywood shooting star - the world thinks you're a star
Hollywood shooting star - keep your head out of the clouds
Hollywood shooting star - get your feet back on the ground

05. Thief In The Night

One day I saw a sweet angel, standing in the sun
She walked along a sea of glass and fell into my arms
There's no passion like the rain, like the rain of falling tears
Suddenly she stole my heart

Now we can make a run for heaven
And we can stand against the gates of hell
Because my faith in you is alive

Like a thief in the night, love will strike, you can't escape
Like a thief in the night you can't hide, it's only a matter of time

A broken heart, a living hell, a prisoner of lies
A time to heal, a time to change and start another life
Taste the bitter and the sweet, take the good times with the bad
Because your day is gonna come yea

Now we can make a run for heaven
And we can stand against the gates of hell
Because my faith in you is alive

Like a thief in the night, love will strike you down
Like a thief in the night you can't steal away
Like a thief in the night, love will strike, you can't escape
Like a thief in the night you can't hide

There's no where to run, there's nowhere to hide
Gonna strike you down tonight, can you feel it in the air?

Like a thief in the night, love will strike you down
Like a thief in the night you can't steal away
Like a thief in the night, love will strike, you can't escape
Like a thief in the night you can't hide
It's only a matter of time

06. Cry Of The Wounded

The cry of the wounded...

Spending life in darkness, on the worldly wicked path
Death will surely follow, as your controlled by hate and wrath

Deception dripping from your face
The victims have no name
A rampage full of fear and pain
No mercy for the slain
The victims have no name

The war between the spirits of the evil and the good
You can see the hand restraining if we only understood

The lies are always in your face

The truth is just a game
You ride along the pleasure train
Just to see what you can gain

Calling the streets of hell your home
Feeding the black inside your soul

Conquering demons as the angels fight
The forces of the dark
Persecuting sinners in the spirit world, the prince of the air

The age of darkness soon will pass
With the sword of the spirit
The light will shine on us at last
To hear the cry of the wounded

07. Always On My Mind

I've been a lonely man since I been away
How can you understand?
I know you want me to stay
But the stage keeps calling my name

Now after all this time, I just can't forget
The way you looked at me, the night that I left
I wish somehow that you could understand
These feelings in my heart

You're always on my mind
I wish I could make you see
You're always on my mind
I want you to be with me
You're always on my mind
Always on my mind

No matter where I am, or how far away
Ten thousand reasons couldn't keep me away
To be there by your side when you need me
You know you're never alone

You're always on my mind
I wish I could make you see
You're always on my mind
I want you to be with me
You're always on my mind
Always on my mind

No matter how far away, I know you want me to stay
I miss you each day

You're always on my mind
You need to believe in me
You're always on my mind
I wish I could make you see
You're always on my mind
I want you to be with me
You're always on my mind
Always on my mind

08. Feel The Fire

Opened my eyes and I felt
A surge of power through my veins
I ran for miles, headed right into the eye of the hurricane
I draw the lightning from the storm, I will never be afraid

I can feel the fire tonight
Lightning up the sky
I can feel the fire tonight
Keeping me alive
I can see the fire tonight
Burning in your eyes
And I'll never let you go

Compelling force, you breakaway
The ball and chain that's holding me
Setting the course gonna ride the wind
And sail across the sea
You give me shelter from the storm, I can never let you go

I can feel the fire tonight
Lightning up the sky
I can feel the fire tonight
Keeping me alive
I can see the fire tonight
Burning in your eyes
And I'll never let you go

I been searching high and low, now I know
You're the flame inside my soul

I can feel your love, lifting me higher
I can hear your voice calling out for me
I can never be the same, I can never turn away from you

I can feel the fire tonight
Lightning up the sky
I can feel the fire tonight
Keeping me alive
I can see the fire tonight
Burning in your eyes
And I'll never let you go
I can feel the fire tonight
See it burning up the sky!

09. Destiny

Here I stand all alone, I got you on my mind
I remember the love I left behind
I was chosen from above
Now you're the one I'm thinking of, it's true
There's never been someone like you

I can feel the beat of my heart
It's rising up with just the thought of you
I need you back in my life once again
I was lonely for so long
But now I know I must be strong, it's true
Your love's got a hold on me

I was born with a restless heart
And I know someday it would tear us apart
I was born with a restless heart but now I see:

Destiny, I know someday you're coming back for me
I know the way it's meant to be
You are my destiny
Destiny, I know my heart will never set you free
I know the way it's meant to be
You are my destiny

Yes I know deep inside, the feelings I can't hide
I believe it's all just a matter of time

I was born with a restless heart
And I know some way it would tear us apart
I was born with a restless heart but now I see:

Destiny, I know someday you're coming back for me
I know the way it's meant to be
You are my destiny
Destiny, I know my heart will never set you free
I know the way it's meant to be
You are my destiny

I believe, I'm not alone
I'll always have you in my heart and so, I'll never let you go

I was born with a restless heart but now I see:

Destiny, I know someday you're coming back for me
I know the way it's meant to be
You are my destiny
Destiny, I know my heart will never set you free
I know the way it's meant to be
You are my destiny

10. Running From The Darkness

Something's got a hold on me
I'm tired of all the sleepless nights
Everybody's trying to tear me down
No one seems to see at all
The toll that's taken me so far
Down inside this blackened hole of mine

Oh can you tell me why it's taken me so long
To come back home

Running from the darkness
I am heading for the light
I am conquering my demons
I'm still fighting for my life

Wrapped around my will to live

Addiction takes another sip
Drinking from the well of my desire
Even though I walk away
Tomorrow's just another day
To face the battle one more time again

Oh can you tell me why it's taken me so long
To come back home

Running from the darkness
I keep searching for the light
I am haunted by my demons
I'm still fighting for my life

Oh can you tell me why it's taken me so long
To come back home

Running from the darkness
I am heading for the light
I am conquering my demons
I'm still fighting for my life
Running from the darkness
I keep searching for the light
I am haunted by my demons
I'm still fighting for my life

Everybody's watching me
I wonder what they want to see
Crash and burn, or rise above it all
I close my eyes and look inside
Even though a piece has died
I've got to take a step to win the fight

11. Babylon

Powerful city, you are standing tall and proud
Owning the merchants of the world
Kingdom of beauty, your glory shines so bright

With riches and power you rule the earth

Cry out Babylon - your time is going to come
Look out, Babylon - your walls are falling down
Cry out Babylon - your sins are piling high
Fallen Babylon - your truth is just a lie

The blood of the prophets, and the saints that you despise
Thrown into violence by your hands
The smoke of your burning, you will see it everywhere
You'll drink from the cup of wrath to come

Cry out, you've got to cry out, Babylon
Cry out, you've got to cry out, I said cry out Babylon

Cry out Babylon - your time will soon arrive
Look out, Babylon - the nations drink your wine
Cry out Babylon - your wealth is laid to waste
Fallen Babylon - destruction's at your gate

Cry out, you've got to cry out, Babylon
Cry out, you've got to cry out, I said cry out Babylon
You're falling, you've got to cry out, Babylon
Cry out Babylon
