Текст песни:

Watching the sand fall,
Listening for the knock
Upon my door,
And waiting...
For Promised Land.

Standing neck deep in life,
My ring of brass
Lay rusting on the floor.
Is this all ?,
Because it′s not what I expected.

Somewhere along the way
Friends I once held close
Fled the fast lane.
I didn′t notice,
I just had to make it.
Head down, nose to the grindstone;
The kiss of life
Place on my brow
Somehow slid to the ground
And lies buried six feet under.

Preaching from the floor again
The same old sad song,
ІBartender... bring another drink for their favorite son.І

Where did it all go wrong ?
What′s the use in even holding on ?
Here′s to love, hate ... and promises.

Almost called it today.
Turned to face іThe VoidІ
Numb with the suffering
And the question,
ІWhy am I ... ?І
So many times I′ve
Tried and failed to
Gather my courage, reach again for that nail.
Life′s been like
Dragging feet through sand,
And never finding ... Promised Land.

Preaching from the floor again
The same old sad song,
ІBartender ... bring another drink for their favorite son.І
Where did it all go wrong ?
I feel like I′m dying.
Here′s to love, to hate,
To promises and Promised Land lies.

Текст песни:

Cries from the aisles
The tolling of the judgment bell
Eyes watched the violence
The absence of those who have
Seen marks the faith of the spell

Cold is the viper
Stalking the night for the heart
It must find
Time is the promise
Delivered with a stunning consistency
Line after line, time after time
The innocent victim awaits...

CHORUS
Please take my hand
Don′t be afraid
I am your master
You are my slave

Voices are calling me back
Back to the day
Footsteps had followed
Me faster...listen

Screams from a new love
The passion was burning, it singed in a stare
Free under the night sun
The fear of the hunger will always be there in my mind
Time after time the morning will close a new page

CHORUS

Follow the impulse you have
I′ll show you the way
Forget what you′ve learned in the past now
Listen and...

Текст песни:

I know where I′m going,

and I′ve got all my cards showing.

I′m like the crow flies, a straight line

reaching for the other side



I dig the sand they kick at me with a calm that stuns.

Tracing time with no alibis makes me, makes me realize.



It′s ok it′s just a dream I had.

That there′s something out there,

something, just out of reach



Armed with time on my side

and a field of vision miles wide.

I′ll keep searching for some meaning

whatever makes me feel alive.



It′s ok it′s just a dream I had.

That there′s something out there,

something, just out of reach



Today I felt something so strong it took my breath away.

Now I long

to live like this everyday.

I′ll find it some way.



I′m alive with so much of life to try.

I′ve got no memories of what used to worry me.



It′s ok it′s just a dream I had.

That there′s something out there,

something, just out of reach

Someday I′ll reach.

It′s ok it′s just a dream I had.

That there′s something out there,

Something just out of reach

just out of reach, just out of reach

Текст песни:

Taken to a place underground,

a cavern, ten thousand steps down.

The only light was fire fly glow,

reflecting in the blue crystal show.

Feeling in the darkness surrounding me,

roots of giant Sequoia trees

anchor the canopy of life that′s above.

The answer to the mystery of life is _



Traveled through the jungles of the Yucatan

and drank the potion from the magic man.

Held the starlight inches from my face,

pushed the door open, # 7.

I walked the path way to heaven.

Saw the same face of God.



Seems every where I go

I see the same face, I feel the same flow.

With every one I meet and every hand I shake,

I′m every man, trying my best to get to know

because everything′s at stake.



We′re the same tribe.



Passing through Morocco for the faithful is a trip.

Hallucinating visions drives my desert ship.

For a thousand miles we could not fail,

can′t enjoy if you can′t inhale.

Clearly a lifetimes need of some experience and

for the record, peace.



Seems every where I go

I see the same face, I feel the same flow.

With every one I meet and every hand I shake,

I see myself in every man, trying my best to get to know

because everything′s at stake.



We′re the same tribe.

Текст песни:

Wonder where’d the time go?

There it was, gone in the blink of an eye.

See how much life is left

staring back in my face?

But I know it now as clear as,

clear as a window.



Never thought this day would come,

I never thought I’d see.

half my life is gone.

Thought I’d never live to see . . .

Never thought this day would come . . .

I never thought I’d see half my life is gone

Thought I’d never live to be . . . much of anything.



Everything moves faster now.

We’re living at the speed of light.

I stand here fascinated,

watching as it all goes by.

Maybe I should live what’s left . . . like it was my last.



Never thought this day would come . . .

I never thought I’d see half my life is gone.

I’d never live to see . . .

Never thought this day would come . . .

I never thought I’d see half my life is gone

I’d never live to be . . . much of anything.

Everything moves faster now.



Where are you now?

Feeling small.

Can’t live without it?

You call this your best?

I made my life a mess.

And everyone but you sees it.

What a fool.

What are you gonna do,

make more excuses?

“Don’t worry,

I’ll kill the bastard!”

@ Queensryche

Текст песни:

What? You say ou′re through with me
I′m not through with you
We′ve had what others might call love
You say it′s over now, what′s done, what′s through?
You can′t stay away, you need me
I need you

When the fire starts the pain′s too much
For your mind
You need attention, what′s good is only mine
I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart
Just come to me
I′ll take you home
We′ll walk in the shadows
By day we′ll live in a dream
We′ll walk in the shadows

You say you don′t feel safe alone tonight
Cause you feel the pressure building in your head
Our secret′s safe for one more night
But when the morning comes remember
I′ll be with you

We′ll walk in the shadows
By day we′ll live in a dream
We′ll walk in the shadows
One day you′ll be with me
If only you believe

@ Queensryche

Текст песни:

Danger eyes like mine scan the room

no one over the line gets out alive.

Pieces of insincerity

are like the stuff upon which we feed.

Do I feed you?



It goes on and on, this insanity,

The game of us and them we play.

On and on admit that we like it this way.



I′m upside down, inside out for you.

No matter what goes down, I′ll still be there for you.



They say that like attracts like, we′re one and the same.

To say you′re one of my kind is to say,

we don′t take the blame.

The box that all others find they need,

to make themselves more than they seem,

only makes them scream.



It goes on and on, this insanity,

The game of us and them we play.

On and on admit that we like it this way.



I′m upside down, inside out for you.

No matter what goes down, I′ll still be there for you.



We′ve seen the sun setting in their eyes.

It could be worse, it could be us.

Not another life time without you



I′m upside down, inside out for you.

No matter what goes down, I′ll still be there for you.



I′m upside down, inside out, upside down, inside out.

Текст песни:

I remember I was asking why
And someday you said I′d know
All these years, of fighting hard
And now it′s finally come too close

I can′t believe it′s now happening to me
Oh, couldn′t it wait a few hundred years
Destiny can′t rest you see, now it′s time
Time to cry your tears! Now cry!

The child of centuries, forgotten in time
You talk in circles of rhyme
Seer of places future and past
The warning you gave us is surely our last

Warning!

Behold the child, his pointing hand
Is raised in solemn grace
His eyes once wide with learning wonder
Now leave stains upon his face

Now see the hands of the working man
He′s leaning back against the wall
Once busy hands are idle now
Standing ready for the fall! Our fall!

The signs will come as days past by
For those that claim to see
The blind will stay not choosing to die
Not believing the visions I′ve seen

Текст песни:

Don′t slam the door, on your way out

Don′t leave without saying goodbye.

Another long distance night alone,

you leave me wanting, always leave me wanting more.

Last word today, coming home to stay?

Wouldn′t that be nice, for a while?



But now my take-out food is growing cold,

and the candle′s burned a hole in the floor.

And I′m still waiting for the ring of the phone.



I′m all alone

It′s just another rainy night, without you.

Guess I′ll leave a light on for you.

It′s just another rainy night, without you.



Listen, there′s a foghorn blowing

from the coast tonight

Remember making love in the rain?

Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound

Raindrops taste like tears without the pain.

I′m not much without you, can′t leave

if I wanted to. maybe that′s why you stay around



But tonight I′ll sit here tending the fire

and pace the floor one hundred times in an hour.

And check the voice-mail for a message you′ve called.



I′m all alone

It′s just another rainy night, without you.

Waiting by the phone. Alone.

It′s just another rainy night, without you.

Guess I′ll leave a light on for you.



I know I′ve said it before

hate the sound of the closing door

and your footsteps walking away.



[solo]



But now my take-out food is growing cold,

and the candle′s burned a hole in the floor.

And I′m still waiting for the ring of the phone.v

I′m all alone

It′s just another rainy night, without you.

Waiting by the phone. Alone.

And it′s another rainy night, without you.

Guess I′ll leave a light on for you.



It′s just another rainy night, another rainy night,

another rainy night without you.

Текст песни:

You′ve come to me again my friend. I′ve been waiting so

long.

Life seems strange and hard sometimes, maybe I won′t make

it this time.



Oh They′ve taken all I have, but I just need what′s left of

today, and you can wash it all away.

When it all comes down and I′m feeling tired and afraid,

you′re always there, and seem come when

I′ve nothing left to give away.



Now I wait for your winds to come and give me breath for

another day, and your rain to wash me.



I feel the rain coming. I feel it in my heart, take away

my pain.

I feel the rain coming. Wash me down, wash me down.



Here comes the rain. Hold me now, just for awhile.



I feel like a candle flame in the wind. The dust of my

deeds past, covers me, like a fading lie.



I feel the rain coming. I feel it in my heart, wash away

my pain.

Wash me down, wash me down. I feel the rain coming.



Here comes the rain.

Текст песни:

Lost my faith in humanity

and I don’t trust in society

I’m numb, cold, ready.



No one else dies today . . .



What did you do?

I don’t remember . . .

Murderer!

They say I’m a murderer!



God must be dead because I’m still free.

No religion holds me . . . am I the killer?



No one else dies today . . .



What did you do?

I’m the revenger,

Murderer!

No! I’m the revenger!

Murderer!

No I’m the . . . black hand of death!



Sixty-five hundred days . . .

I’m feeling good for the first time in years.

Your miserable life is in my hands.

What would you do?



Kill him!



Does this signal an ending or another dream just beginning? Are his actions worth forgiving?

No more pain! Revenge!



Haven’t you enough?



The dog is on his knees!



Does this signal an ending or another dream just beginning?

Is revenge worth any price?

Tell me what’s right?



He wants more life!



NO!



You want more life?



NO!



Is this my victory?



Murderer!



Am I?



Stay down on your knees

and explain it to me one more time.

What gives you the right?

You took away my life . . . !

and left me with nothing, nothing.



This is like what I dreamed . . .

it seems like a good day to die.



And so it ends. And now what?

@ Queensryche

Текст песни:

Don′t know you man or where you′re from. Some say a crazy

man, came undone.

Please man, make it all make sense.



Gotta be some man to keep a promise, you can count on this.



Wot kind of man are you?

Tell me, tell me what do I do?



When you left you took part of me, all the things I′ll

never see.

I fake it, break it, whatever makes it right, can′t see

the truth through the web of all your lies.



Wot kind of man are you?



Sometimes life′s not too clear for me, apologizes never

come easily.

I suck up, and buck up and fuck up...



I′ve spent all my life wondering, what did I to you, what

was I supposed to think?

Hate man, why didn′t you tell me? Now I′m the man, at the

end of your family tree.



Wot kind of man are you? Tell me, tell me what do I do?

Текст песни:

Take your children down to the water wash their heads and

sing .. holy holy



Last night I dreamed you were standing there, strong and

tall beside me.

All my life ... behind me.



You gently took me by my hand and led me to where

I couldn′t see,but where I′ve always been ... an island.



In my dreams I′ve been an island ...



where I′m all alone, and I′ve built these walls stone by

stone.

I want to leave but I don′t know where to go.



I′ve tried the best I can, but it′s hard to be a man and

feel the way you feel.

I′m different on the inside. I′ve tried to give to you

what you need to get you through.



I′ll always be ... beside you.



The day you were born I held you ... small and helpless

crying, your life and mine entwining.



As I looked into your eyes I saw myself in an overview,

reaching out to you from this island in the sea.

I don′t want to be an island.



I′ve tried the best I can, but it′s hard to be a man and

feel the way you feel.

I′m different on the inside.



I′ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through.

I′ll always be ... beside you.

Текст песни:

Hanging by a thread, problems in my head,

don′t know what I said, living to be dead on the run.

Corporation greed, television need,

overdose and bleed, pornograph obscene, I′m a liar.



There′s no brakes on me, as I′m running down the track.

They′ll be waiting for me, but I′m never coming back.



I′m going down...

to a place where I can see all there is to see in me.



Bullets in the gun, gonna have some fun,

think I′ll take a ride to the other side, till I′m done.

Hole is in the vein,

feel it numb the brain, take away the pain,

never be the same till I die.



There′s no brakes on me, as I come around the track.

There′s no gauge to read,

peg the needle as I hit the black.



I′m going down...

to a place where I can see all there is to see in me.



Population freeze,

modern day disease,

brings us to our knees, see them stand in line for a cure.

Profit in the wind,

pushing back the time that we wait in line,

pushing back the time, it′s a sin.



There′s no brakes on me, as I′m running down the track.

They′ll be waiting for me, but I′m never coming back.



I′m going down....

Текст песни:

Culture hostage.

I’m writhing in the cold grasp of justice,

as she turns away.

Blind is she supposed to be but,

someone took a razor to her mask.



Rusted now the scales you hold,

the balance tipped by the weight of gold.

When will it end?

When will it ever end?



The judgment man holds my fate,

as I beg forgiveness with the

plastic smile of a candidate.



They take for granted that I’m out of my mind and they’re wasting their time to care.

So all my reasons are damned before they’re heard.

I’m held hostage by their words.

What will lead us to tolerance

if we don’t question our prejudice?



Courage is such a lonely word,

patience, in time these truths will be known.

Please, don’t keep looking away.

You see fortunes are on line, reputations at risk, and there’s fear in the hearts of all of you that
believe that you’re right,

and that’s your right.

But are you . . . right?



The judgment man holds my fate,

as I gaze around the room,

their eyes are like knives, could decapitate.

They take for granted that I’m out of my mind and I’m wasting their time, don’t show, don’t show me
my fate.



Reasons are damned, can’t understand.

If I fall to pieces they’ll know . . .

he’s out of his mind and he’s wasting our time, we know. As I sense my fate . . .

His reasons be damned, can’t understand him.

. . . and now all my reasons are damned before they’re heard. I’m held hostage by their words.

I’m a hostage

Текст песни:

There you were like a ghost from my early days, staring

straight ahead at me.

How could I ever guess, from that moment on, just how

everything would change.



How could I know?



I recall something strange coming over me, somewhat at a

loss for words.

I′d been around and had my share of what I thought my soul

could bare, but never seen what I saw in your eyes.



How could I know?

We never took it slow.

We gave it all we had and more.



How could I know?

We never took it slow.

We gave it all we had and more.



Looking back at where we′ve been, the road ahead is so

uncertain.

We keep passing open windows forever.



I′ve tried before I′ll try again, I never know where were

going.

I only know that I′ll be yours forever ... yours

forever ... forever ... forever.



How could I know?

We never took it slow.

We gave it all we had.

We gave it all we had.
