01. Fight For Your Honour

Fight, fight for your honour
There's no rules can play a part
Living each day a life burns away
Nothing can melt your heart

Fight for one another
It's the enemy you'll never see
The challenge unknown a mystical role
There by the powers that be

See the heroes they are children once again
Through the corridors of time they walk
In your hearts they'll stay the same
The mirrors of life they'll hide no secrets anymore
Reflections of the world you see and the life you had before

In your mind you need the reason
But the reasons now won't make sense anymore

See the heroes in the hunt to be alive
A portal to a world unknown
The secret to survive
On this road, who is it drives our destiny
The miracle now burns away, a life profligacy

In your mind you need the reason
But the reasons now won't make sense anymore

Fight, fight for your honour
There's no rules can play a part
Living each day a life burns away
Nothing can melt your heart... Fight

Fight, fight for your honour
Fight, fight for one another.

02. The One

I feel the emptiness growing so fast
It's the moment I know that just won't last
The day that I did let you go

Any time, any time way I will do the same
Because I know that life is not a game
The game that you played
You played with my heart

There's time and place that we all see our light
You will have it one day
If you prepare to fight
I know that I did too
It took a long-long time
Now I'm ready to leave all our feeling behind

Because she is the the one
Yes, she is, is the one for me

There's no more loneliness that just won't pass
The moments I had went by so fast
The day that I did let you go

Any time, any time way I will do the same
Because I know that life is not a game
The game that you played
You played with my heart

There's time and place that we all see our light
You will have it one day
If you prepare to fight
I know that I did too
It took a long-long time
Now I'm ready to leave all our feeling behind

Because she is the the one
Yes, she is, is the one for me

The one I want
The one I need
The one I prepare to go off and to bleed
The one I adore, it's like heave above
The one I will never forget to love

The one for me
The one for me
The one for me
The one for me

There's time and place that we all see our light
You will have it one day
If you prepare to fight
I know that I did too
It took a long-long time
Now I'm ready to leave all our feeling behind

Because she is the the one
Yes, she is, she is the one

03. Believable

There's no day where the night belongs
A thousand rights won't solve the wrongs
Still you feel alone, so alone
History cannot pretend, with shields of steel you still defend,
Those broken hearts, those broken dreams

Now you ride once again, freedom is your friend
Everybody sees that time is forgiving,
Living with your pride, nothing more to hide, it's believable

The battle of life we fought it before it's defeatable
The portal of time this parallel line it's believable.
It's believable, defeatable

Now we know your hidden pain
A silent voice still heard the same
Reaching out alone, still you feel alone
Breaking down the walls of feeling, those stolen hearts now they're beating,
Will they ever die
Memories never lie

You ride once again, freedom is your friend
Everybody sees, this is not the end
Now you're standing proud, shout it out aloud it's believable

04. Tokyo

Embers glow the sleeping fire
Millions lights awake the tyrant
Wait to see the monster start to grow.
Now it starts the frenzied madness
Rush to feed the gentle giant,
Clockwork motion, now you see it flow.

Enter to a different kingdom, like I've opened my eyes
Take me to a higher level, the city's my pride

Driving through the night at 4 AM in downtown Tokyo
Always on my mind in the land of the rising sun
Shards of steel pierce through the night sky,
Neon suns that steal the darkness
Flashing lights that chase the shadows away
People flow like a winding river
Veins of blood in a heart now beating
Brings to life the start of another day.

Enter to a different kingdom, like I've opened my eyes
Take me to a higher level, the city's my pride

Driving through the night at 4 AM in downtown Tokyo
Always on my mind, in the land of the rising sun
Blinded by the light, the sun that shines in downtown Tokyo
Forever I will stay in this place I know I belong.

Can you still feel it, a million hearts beat as one
Can you still see it, in the land of the dying sun
Hold this piece of forever, don't let it fade away
Memories they live on and on, In my heart the passion will stay

Driving through the night at 4 AM in downtown Tokyo
Always on my mind in the land of the rising sun
Blinded by the light, the sun that shines in downtown Tokyo
Forever I will stay in the land of the rising sun.

05. Better Man

I've been seeing the cracks in the mirror,
Playing for keeps and staying for weeks
I don't know, if it's time to pay and play forever
I've been honoured to understand, I'm a hologram and I'm drifting sand,
Crystal veils of minutes, minutes, minutes

All I ever wanted was you, all I ever managed to do, is steal a little peb-ble from your rocky shoreline.

But I... I'll be a better man, this time... make me a better man.
There's a light in the tactical hard drive
Keeping me alive making me survive,
I made it tell and I didn't make it down forever
It's time for living it out again its a claim to send in a fragile land
I'm still here and every day just came to now.

All I ever wanted was you, all I ever managed to do,
is steal a little pebble from your rocky shoreline.

But I... I'll be a better man, this time... stake me a better man.

06. All I See

When lights go down and all I see is you.
What may come around just won't pull me through

Counting the days we can be together all I need is
Sunlight in the rain

And all I see and all I do
Is wasting time
And all I see and need to know,
Is how long it will take to heal, is it fear I wanna feel,
Will I go on this way
I go down on my knees and pray

These four walls are closing in on me... are closing in

Counting the days we can be together all I see and all I want is you, all I want is you

And all I see and all I do
Is wasting time
And all I see and need to know,
Is how long it will take to heal, is it fear I wanna feel,
Will I go on this way
I go down on my knees and pray

07. Eyes Of A Child

Enter the light, let me see your face,
Let me know that you're still there
Can you see it now in those shattered dreams
The depth into which you stare
Scale your thoughts as madness dawns see how far you'll fall
Reality and dreams collide the road of sanity is so small,
Dark holds no secrets anymore
With the eyes of a child, you're the masterpiece of innocence
Through the eyes of life, there is so much you'll never see.
Life burned away the heart within there is so much that one can bear
An eternity of love now dies away but there's no one left to share
In your heart you've carved an epitaph, an emblem of your soul
A chalice holds your bitter blood and the life that heaven stole

'Cause life can't hold you, lost all those years your unfinished song,
'Cause life won't hold you,
The strands of time they could be so strong.
Locked in a cruel place with your painful memories
There's no harder way to fall this hell no one wants to see.
We're all creatures of life - that the world can't let go
In the verses of time ? A journey we'll all learn to know

With the eyes of a child, you're the masterpiece of innocence
Through the eyes of life, there is so much you'll never see.
With the eyes of a child,
You are naked in your destiny
Through the eyes of the world now the angels are your enemy.

08. The Runner

I'm going faster than I've been before
I know no limits now I'm flying.
Heart is pounding and I'm more than sure
I can win this without trying.
These explosions blow my mind.
Blood, sweat and tears and now I'm running blind

I'm going for glory, I see my goal.
My legs are like lead but I'm in control.
I've been the distance, I see the line.
One last push and I'll be fine

Unleash the fire, within my soul
Release the shackles so I can go for gold.
In this arena I chase my dreams
Inside the shelter no one else can hear you scream

09. Against The World

Come on lord, see our destiny,
Was it written from the start
And now our time is just a layer ...hidden in the dust
For we knew long that is was coming, the traitors they were running
But in the world so small you can only run so far.
For we were now too many, disciples so aplenty
Not knowing it's the world that was the star
Too late to change we've play our part

Now we stand against the world
Invite the devil in as hell is what we need
This world of life what did it bring
Now an empty shell there's nothing left to bleed
A selfishness so hollow
Their children born to follow
Possession just a token of their minds
Why was our breed primed with weakness
This time there's no forgiveness,
This path to god we may never find.
Learn to face the challenge... of our lives.

The earth becomes another lonely star
The age of man that tried but then we went too far
Now the light that shines and see it fade away
Welcome in the kingdom of today

Now we stand (now we stand)
Against the world (against the world)
This world of life (this world of life)
What did it bring (what did it bring)
Now we stand (now we stand)
Against the world (against the world)
This world of life (this world of life)
What did it bring (what did it bring)

10. Fallen Angel

The wind no longer blows a gentle breeze we feel, void of all emotion.
The ocean once so deep is now a trickle of the waters, visions we will keep.
Oh... the memories will last forever more

Closing doors we cannot see, a captive heart can still be free
The mystery is deeper, the victory undone
The fragment of the life you lived the race was never run.

See the shadows on the water.
The faces they turn the other way.
In a darker world we travel
The words of life have nothing more to say.
The dying moon still bright,
Hiding in the midnight shadow keep the secrets by your side.
In dreams we hear your voice, the magic and the loving laughter the angel by your side.
Oh.... the memories will last forever more

Closing doors we cannot see, a captive heart can still be free
The mystery is deeper, the victory undone
The fragment of the life you lived the race was never run.
See the shadows on the water.
The faces they turn the other way. In a darker world we travel
The words of life have nothing more to say.

The angel has fallen, the angel is free, the shadow remains still living in me

11. Second Time Around

I walk through the valley of mystery, confronting of my inner fears.
Now I face this darkened madness
Where I bathed in theikfaters of sanity,
I'm drawn to a mystical sea

Sensing that life is repeating but now in such different roles

Second time I crossed the wire
In this life I burn two fires
The souls they wait to play their separate games
The fight with this psychic illusion
An image of my history.
Now I see through all this blindness
The mirror of life is repeating
Reflections we may never see.

Sensing that life is recurring but now in such different roles
Second time I crossed the wire In this life
I burned two fires
The souls they wait to play their separate games

Can a life begin again though a world apart we are
Does my soul remain my own or is hell one step too far
Now I walk in the field where a forest has grown
Those lives will never return
Did the secret die or was I reborn
That something is what I will learn

Second time I crossed the wire In this life
I burn two fires
The souls they wait to play their separate games
