1. Seawinds
As I'm walking through the rain
Sit beside the room all night long
In the grey December morning
(I decide to leave my home)....................
Took a train to nowhere - far away - far away
Many thousand miles away
When the moon took to the stars
Dreamed about the days - days gone by - days gone by
In the night, the seawinds are calling
And the city is far far away
Soon the sea turns to darkness
It is night and the seawinds are calling
Seawinds gone, seawinds gone
Took thousand miles away
When the moon took to the stars
Dreamed about the days - days gone by
I've been told so many stories
Of dreams my plans have made
So is no illusion - sail away - sail away
In the night, the seawinds are calling
And the city is far far away
Soon the sea turns to darkness
It is night and the seawinds are calling
Seawinds gone, seawinds gone
2. Winter Dreams
There's snow on the mountain
And fog in the street
Flickering candles in the room
Hear the church bell ring
See the children playing
I feel their pure delight
And the snow is falling
Taking me away
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Reflecting the sound of my heart
It's my taste of freedom
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Don't try to tear me apart - Cold winter dreams
Find myself in peace
Warn from underneath
Wish you would be here
In this magic scene
I've escaped from reality
Dancing in the snow
Cold blue sky gives me
The innocence I need
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Freezing the heat in my heart
It's my taste of freedom
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Chill me and tear me apart - Cold winter dreams
The world seems so clear
Like a wonderful diamond
Can't imagine there's meanness
Can't imagine one lie
But when I'm dead and gone
And snow's pouring down
I'm buried and covered
Peaceful under millions of stars
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Reflecting the sound of my heart
It's my taste of freedom
Cold winter nights - Cold winter dreams
Don't try to tear me apart - Cold winter dreams
3. Can't Stand the Night
Fallin' tears, a broken heart
Here I sit as time goes by
'cause all I had has gone forever
Can't stand the night.
The fun we had, I knew so well
that somethin' so deep inside
The last few days have been pure hell
Can't stand the night.
Love - you tore my world apart
But still I can't escape
You touched me and you hold me
The nights are hard to take.
I know her body, her hair, her eyes
I know she should belong to me
But she's a one man's girl forever
Lovin' deeply why not me.
Love why do I take you and why do you take me
Take my breath, or you take my heart
All you give is pain a curse upon your name
Can't you see, it isn't right
Can't stand the night.
Tell me where I have gone wrong
give me a reason why
Tell me how to win her back
Can't stand the night.
Love why do I take you and why do you take me
Take my breath, or you take my heart
All you give is pain a curse upon your name
Can't you see, it isn't right
Can't stand the night.
Fallin' tears, a broken heart
Here I sit as time goes by
'cause all I had has gone forever
Can't stand the night.
Oceans filled with tears
and mountains made of pain
And my eyes are sad each time
The night it comes back again.
Love why do I take you and why do you take me
Take my breath, or you take my heart
All you give is pain a curse upon your name
Can't you see, it isn't right
Can't stand the night.
4. Breaking Up Again
Wakin' up on monday mornin'
Sunday'd been and gone
Reachin' out for you
But I was alone
Now I sit at the breakfast table
Table's set for two
Been the same thing ev'ry morning
Silly things I do
Ooh, don't know what to do about you
I'll never could give the way you gave
Ooh, now should I try to find you
Keep playin' ev'ry song you played me
Feel like breakin' up again
It's a thing I gotta live with
Take it on my own
I'm waitin' till it's over
Then again I never know
If I'd only seen you goin'
Walkin' out the door
But I had no way of knowin'
Can't take it no more
Ooh, don't know what to do about you
I'll never could give the way you gave
Ooh, now should I try to find you
Keep playin' ev'ry song you played me
Feel like breakin' up again
5. Son of a Bitch
Illusions and dreams
You're what you are
D'you know what I mean
I hear you clear
See in your eyes
Lying to please
It pleases to lie
You say it's your way
You say we'll make it
Right to the top
Your bullshit gets me
What have you got
I don't believe
A word you say
You make me laugh
Get outta my way
You say it's your way
Now listen to what I think of you:
Son of a bitch
Kiss my ass
Son of a bitch
Son of a bitch
You asshole
Son of a bitch
Cock suckin' motherfucker
I was right - take this: uuaah
Son of a bitch, ...
Cut you three times below the ass to short to shit
Two timing son of a dog
6. Feelings
You gotta be a strong man
And know what you want,
And fight ev'ryone in your way
You're the one who sweats
And what do you get
When someone else picks up your pay
Hey, when you're fightin' a wolf,
it's a fight to the end with a pack
You work all day long,
You're stuck to the phone
Burn up a hundred cigarettes
The yes - men you know
They tell you no go
And dissatisfaction's all you get
Oh, when you're needing a queen
ev'ry card that you get is a jack
Accept what we do
This message to you
Is rock forever and ever
We've still got the feel
The music is real
And we'll rock'n'roll forever, forever
You gotta be strong
We'll rock'n'roll
Forever
No sword and no knife
Can help you survive
Survival is a busines head
A good deal you need
Or you're lost in their greed
You're rotten, helpless, dead
Hey, when you're fightin' a wolf,
it's a fight to the end with a pack
Accept what we do
This message to you
Is rock forever and ever
We've still got the feel
The music is real
And we'll rock'n'roll forever, forever
Accept what we do
This message to you
Is rock forever and ever
We've still got the feel
The music is real
And we'll rock'n'roll forever
7. No Time to Loose
Have been (through all plays)
But everything seems so sad without you
Your love has (flown/run?) away
The days are cold and grey
I can't love no one else like I've loved you before
Take my hand, I'll take your soul
Oh, don't say you can't love me no more
Girl I need you so much, I feel so lonely - so lonely
Can't believe this shall be the end
But the love letters I have sent
Have gone no answer - how can I go on
Oh - baby
Give me your love - No time to loose
Baby come back run away all my blues
Light up my life, don't waste the time
I know if you are back then you are mine
Your love has (flown/run?) away
The days are cold and grey
I can't love no one else like I've loved you before
Take my hand, I'll take your soul
Oh, don't say you can't love me no more
Girl I need you so much, I feel so lonely - so lonely
8. The King
Commiting crimes each day
But time has changed where he was proud
It's a far away
He took living easy, his bad reputation
Oh it was known all around
But he didn't care no, he made dirty money
Now he is down and out
Thought he knew the tricks of life
Prowling in the dark
Now he's left by all his friends
'Cause he lived apart, of them
He was a leader, malicious and violent
His fame is covered with blood
Now he's just a number, he lost all his power
The king has lost his face
Down down down, though the king lost his crown
Caught and sentenced, he was guilty
Down down down, though the king lost his crown
It's too late - far too high
Late far too high
9. Love Child
10. Run Through the Night
After all we've done - our past is gone
Future is no more - what it used to be
When we have been more sensible
And our world was safe
I'm living in this empty room
A room without a door
I run through the night
I can't handle my fears
I run through the night
Cannot hide my tears
I run through the night
I'm longing for a smile - dying for a little hope
Can't you see my pain
I'm with you but - still alone
At times when we're more sensible
I need you more and more
I am living in this empty room
a room without a door
I run through the night
I can't handle my fears
I run through the night
Cannot hide my tears
I run through the night - I run through the night
11. It's Hard to Find a Way
You tried to make me feel
Our love could be real
And I tried, tried to make you feel
You and me have a chance
We tried to understand
Promises have to be kept
But it's only a game
Where both of us hope to win
But I just found the first little cut
And I wonder why, oh God, but so what
It's hard to understand - and find a way
To give you all my life
Hard to understand - and hard to say
To give you all my life
Well, I pretend tonight
Our life is alright
But I feel the weakness now
Of living with a lie
I'm acting sweetness
But I'm burning in hate
'cause I can't stand you hurting me
The same way I hurt you
But I just found the first little cut
And I wonder why, oh God, but so what
It's hard to understand - and find a way
To give you all my life
Hard to understand - and hard to say
To give you all my life
It's hard to understand - and find a way
To give you all my life
Hard to understand - so hard to say
To give you all my life
It's hard to understand - and find a way
Hard to understand - to understand
Hard to understand - you and me have a chance
To give you all my life
I'm burning in hate 'cause it's just a game
To give you all my life
It's hard to understand - so hard to understand
To give you all my life
Hard to understand - so hard to say
To give you all my life
12. Prisoner
She's a dancer
And she's holdin' on
To dreams of fame
No loser
But in her mind
It's coming apart
It's a felony to me
To give it up - she's gonna lose it
Been holding back on love
Pretending there's no way to turn
She's a prisoner
Got a lot to fight for - (prisoner)
Prisoner - prisoner of fame
Got a lot to fight for - (prisoner)
She's a dreamer
And I imagine her
That she'll be mine
Chasing a dream
The lights they call
Got no love anymore
'cause she gave it all
It's insanity to me
To give it up - she's gonna lose it
She's holding back on love
Pretending there's no way to turn
She's a prisoner
Got a lot to fight for - (prisoner)
Prisoner - prisoner of fame
She's a prisoner
Ooh yeah - (prisoner)
Prisoner - prisoner of fame
(can't you see what's going on)
It's mystic magic - (mystic magic)
Dancing on air - (dancing on air)
Some call it tragic
She's fading - fading away again
(Prisoner) - got a lot to fight for - (prisoner)
Prisoner - prisoner of fame - (can't you see what's going on)
She's a prisoner
Ooh yeah - (prisoner)
Prisoner - prisoner of fame - (can't you see what's going on)
She's Prisoner - got a lot to fight for - (prisoner)
Prisoner - prisoner of fame - (can't you see what's going on)
(prisoner - can't you see what's going on)
(prisoner - can't you see what's going on)
She's a prisoner
Ooh yeah - (prisoner)
(can't you see what's going on)
13. Generation Clash
Generation clash - Generation clash
Warnings around me
Coming on strong
Hear the desire
That young dudes are fools
But systems will berak down
The way they all do
A general burden
When ever we're through
Powers are freezing
The way that they are
They're fornicating
With each others minds
Typical outcome in whatever we do
We stand on our own rebellion the groove
Generation Clash
Generation Clash - we got the guts to go
They're blaming our music
Say we're wasting time
The fever's been itching
While we stand in line
'cause you're always bitching
You can't hold back the time
Searching for treasure or something to hold
We'll find our pleasure in the cast you mold
Generation Clash
Generation Clash - and so the story goes
Generation Clash - ain't gonna wipe my nose
Generation Clash - ain't got the time to know
Hey Mom (Generation)
Have you always followed the golden rule (Clash)
'cause this just happens to be my first love (Generation)
And that being (Clash)
A must - a must (Generation)
That being playin' my guitar (Clash)
We try to follow your golden rule
Don't seem to matter we ain't from your school
We tries to reason tried to turn it inside out
Without no compromising my guitar will scream out loud - oh
Generation Clash
Generation Clash - that's how the story goes
Generation Clash - and only time will show
Generation Clash - You gotta gotta let me go
Generation Clash
Generation Clash
Generation Clash
Generation Clash
14. Drifting Away (Instrumental)
15. Writing on the Wall
A thousand years from now on
The flame of life's gone out
The earth - a frozen wasteland
No living trace - no sounds
The world did die in anguish
The ashes turned tu dust
Fire and ice - blackness of night
Man's evolution has lost
Don't tell me that we didn't know
And that we haven't been told
The final S.O.S. we all ignored
We've seen the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall
The science of the madman
Was getting out of control
For every creature comfort
There is a heavy toll
We turned on mother nature
Stabbed her deep in the back
We ripped out her lungs - poisoned her veins
Internal acid attack
Don't tell me that we didn't know
And that we've never been told
The final S.O.S. we all ignored
We've seen the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall
Seen the writing on the wall
I'm just painting a picture
Of how it could be
But time's running out - the lock's ticking down
You're not blind - can't you see
Don't tell me that we still don't know
And that we're not being told
The final S.O.S. we shouldn't ignore
Just read the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall
Read the writing on the wall
The writing on the wall
16. Metal Heart
It is 1999
The human race has to face it
They are confronted with the truth
It's secret -- mysterious
A surgeon said it in the news
The human race is dying
But the result is no disease
Searching for you
Metal heart -- metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart -- metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel
The scaring fact was even told
Total confusion
They found the same nightmare
Heartbeats -- timebombs
Metal heart -- metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart -- metal heart
Unplugged they die
Metal heart -- metal heart
They found it everywhere
Metal heart -- metal heart
Lifeless piece of steel
Metal heart -- metal heart -- metal heart
Unplugged they're dying
Metal heart -- metal heart
17. Princess of the Dawn
There's rain on the mountain
A white frost on the moors
It's an epoch of eternity
Waters touch the holy shore
It's a land of mystery
The world of unseen eyes
You can feel the shadow of a princess
She waits for you inside
The guardians of God play the pawns
Beg for mercy - hail the queen
Princess of the Dawn
In the war of the dragons
Young blood ran it's course
They fell to his blade
The knight Iron Horse
A forgotten priest
Disappearing in the haze
A chamber of vestal virgins
Twilight is her slave
The Wizard of Oz moved the pawns
Life for satan - dust to dust
Princess of the Dawn
On the day of the testament
The seventh moon was raging fire
Heaven cried for the sacrifice
The midnight sun was rising higher
The Beauty and the Beast
Lies in her royal crypt
Her kiss is bitter sweet
Death upon her lips
The Holy Grail held the pawns
Kings and bishops bow to grace
Princess of the Dawn
The guardians of God play the pawns
Beg for mercy - hail the queen
Princess of the Dawn
A new day dawns for heaven and earth
A first sunbeam is killing the night
Once upon a time for ever more
The gloom with the spirit of that Lady in White
Princess - Princess - Princess of the Dawn
Princess - Princess - Princess of the Dawn
Princess - Princess - Princess of the Dawn
Princess - Princess - Princess of the Dawn
