Tracks



01. Phoenix Lights

I can't believe what I saw that night
And I still don't think I do
Strange lights are moving through the sky
Is this a dream is this the end

[CHORUS:]
I can see
The phoenix lights
Fly through the sky
Tell me why give me a reason

Or is it all just smoke and mirrors
And I know what I saw you can't tell me I'm crazy
The truth is out there I believe
You've got to set me free

[CHORUS]

02. Out For Blood

You're out of control
Yeah you're putting your own life in danger
You're all on your own
And you're living your life like a stranger

You're crossing the line
And breaking the rules
Give me your badge and your gun
Because you're off the force for good

You know this time that it's personal
And I'll have revenge

He's out for blood

I don't care what you say
They killed my partner my only friend
This one is off the books
And I'm doing it my way

Living a life where too many die
Living a life where too many cry
Living your life and just getting by
Living a life where too many cry

You know this time that it's personal
And I'll have revenge

He's out for blood

03. Too Late

The night is calling
Out in the streets again alone, alone
I was looking for you
But I can't see to find my way, my way

Too late to stay too late to go
Too hot to touch too cold to hold
Tonight's the night it's all the way
But she said to me

It's too late for love this time
It's such a fine line
It's too late for love this time
I can't get it right

If we meet in the middle
We will find the love tonight, again
I can feel it coming on so strong, so strong

Too late to stay too late to go
Too hot to touch too cold to hold
Tonight's the night it's all the way
But she said to me

It's too late for love this time
It's such a fine line
It's too late for love this time
I can't get it right

04. Stand In The Fire

It's a hard road to follow
If you're living for someone else
It's always tomorrow
You can't always trust yourself

Hard times
They come and go and shake you to your core
Land mines
The voices getting harder to ignore

Cutting down those who stand in the way
Stand in the fire and bring victory

Stick to your guns
Stand in the fire
Stick to your guns
Stand in the fire

You gotta do it for yourself
The rest will come in time
You won't survive
If you're trapped inside your mind

Hard times
They come and go and shake you to your core
Land mines
The voices getting harder to ignore

Cutting down those who stand in the way
Stand in the fire and bring victory

Stick to your guns
Stand in the fire
Stick to your guns
Stand in the fire

05. The Iron Never Lies

You can be the one
Who beats the odds
And you can tear it down
When you're rising up

You gotta find a way
Take it all
Find the strength to be the last man standing
Stronger than death
You want to be the best
The iron never lies
You want to test your strength
The iron never lies

I want to test the limits
The red line
Past the point of no return
On the front line

You gotta find a way
Take it all
Find the strength to be the last man standing
Stronger than death
You want to be the best
The iron never lies
You want to test your strength
The iron never lies

07. Outlaw

Burning hearts
Old stars and new kings
From the very start
We learn to fly with broken wings

Outlaw
Let your true colours show
The feeling never dies

It's in my blood
I'll never change

Free spirit
Lost and never found
True power
Never backs down

Outlaw
Let your true colours show
The feeling never dies

It's in my blood
I'll never change
It's in my blood

I have heard the call
The feeling's here to stay
I won't let it get away

It never dies
No the feeling never dies
The fires strong the feeling never dies

It's in my blood
I'll never change

08. Locked In

Everyday
I'm looking over my shoulder
There's gotta be a better way
Cause these times couldn't get much colder
The price to pay
Is too high for me to gamble
And the pressure
Is too much to handle

Waiting 'til the time is right
Truth be told no end in sight

I'm locked in
I can't seem to get away
There's gotta be a better way

Lost on the road to riches
I'll never find my way back
Lost on the road to riches
I'm lost forever

Everyday
I'm feeling locked in
The outline
Is being chalked in

Waiting 'til the time is right
Truth be told no end in sight

09. United

We held out through the bad times
To reach the other side
The old days like a past life
Like a drift in the tide

Tooth and nail
Still holding it down
And we still remain
United
Unbroken
Until the end

Some things never change
It's a hard life to live
Life's a journey not a ball and chain
That's why we won't give in

Tooth and nail
Still holding it down
And we still remain
United
Unbroken
Until the end

We're not going anywhere
Stuck in our ways
We ain't back cause we never left
We always stay the same

Tooth and nail
Still holding it down
And we still remain
United
Unbroken
Until the end

10. Better Times

We were young and restless
Running in and out of trouble
Those days I'll remember until the end
But life can change in a million ways
As time goes by we drift away

If there's a better time I can't remember
Good times with bad friends
I'll drink to that

We used to skate all day
And into the night
Without a care in the world
I can tell you one thing
We didn't care about nothing

It was a simple time
Living easy lives
It was over so fast
The good times don't last

If there's a better time I can't remember
Good times with bad friends
I'll drink to that

Those were better times

We were young and wild
Always looking for some action
All we have are the memories of a better time

No we'll never lose those days
They'll never fade away
But I'll never feel the same

If there's a better time I can't remember
Good times with bad friends
I'll drink to that

11. One Life

You like to pass judgment
From on top of the throne
It can't always be that way

Why can't we see
That it just isn't right to have so much
When others have so little
Why can't we see
Do you think that it's right
Dreaming of what you want
When others can't even dream

Yesterdays wars
Are still haunting today
The crimes of the past are so far away
We thought that we could change
The future is walking away
We could help but we don't
It's a god damn shame

How can one life
Be worth more than another
How can hind sight
Be the only way we can see

You can see it
Written on the faces of the youth today
How can you care if you don't know
A generations worth of apathy

How can one life
Be worth more than another
How can hind sight
Be the only way we can see

The final hour of the iron fist
When nothings left
We'll eat the rich
