"Countdown To Zero"

"Countdown To Zero"


The night is cold, the sun is down
I see faces through the wire
No chance for them
No shoulder left to cry on

It's 4 am out on the street
Through the smoke I see the fire
It's a funeral pyre
For them to die on

[Chorus:]
Countdown to zero
Just begun
Countdown to zero
It's time to start the run

The city lights are fading now
As I climb into the plane
To shield me from
The stinging acid rain

And this is it, it's over now
As we taxi down Runway One
Tell me please
You'll wake me when it's over

[Chorus]

Do you realize what's happening in Western Europe?
Norway, Finland, Scotland, England
We will be the first to go
Don't do it

[Chorus]

Don't do it
Don't do it
Don't start the countdown to zero
We want to live
We want to live
We will live
You've got your finger on the trigger
Take it off
Let it go
Let it pass
Let it go

"Crime Of The Heart"

"Crime Of The Heart"



Dreams that have melted now frozen like statues
Under the surface here lies the unknown
Love has a way of disguising its purpose
Seeing your pain my hand goes out to you

You should have known better than to trust him
How the pain shines through your eyes

Nothing hits harder than a crime of the heart
It breaks you up and it tears you apart
You just want to die, you've been so abused
Now you know how it feels to be used
Nothing hurts harder than a crime of the heart
I'm such a fool, I should have known from the start
I saw it coming and I feel I'm to blame
But love don't give in

I watch your face as you stare into distance
Eyes filled with tears that look so far away
Deep in your heart can you feel a resistance?
Love it just happens there's no-one to blame

You should have known better than to sacrifice
The stained-glass soul you hide

Nothing hits harder than a crime of the heart
It's the kind of feeling that pulls you apart
There's no where to run, there's nothing to say
You never knew that you could feel this way
Nothing hurts harder than a crime of the heart
I could have told you he was wrong from the start
I'm not guilty, but I feel I'm to blame
My love won't give in

Crime of the heart

"Cutting It Fine"

"Cutting It Fine"



The door swings open but you won't go it
You hate the movie that you haven't seen
You couldn't see what I have in mind
I see you laughing but you're
Cutting it, cutting it fine

You never should have done those things to me
There's one thread left 'tween you and history
And while our temperature is rising high
I'm warning you that you are
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Cutting it, cutting it fine...

You gambled all on one important game
Now take the debt and don't complain
Your game was up, I saw it all the time
I saw that vice, girl, you're
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Your sole advisor watch out for yourself
You never listen to anyone else
You were the one who ignored the signs
Dancing on a fine line
Cutting it, cutting it fine

Cutting it, cutting it fine...

"Darkness Day"

"Darkness Day"



So
Do you believe?
The truth
Of who we are

Everyone must kneel
Everyone must bow
No matter how you feel
In the sacred hour

And the sun don't shine
Cos the moon won't fall
And the sun won't shine
Is there light at all?
Its darkness day

Ghost
I feel it to the bone
Enough
The messages in stone

Now the day has come
Everyone will see
A new age has begun
For eternity

And the sun don't shine
Cos the moon won't fall
And the sun won't shine
Is there light at all?
Its darkness day

"Day Before The War"

"Day Before The War"



Standing on the border,
Waiting on the line.
Silence is a stranger,
In these troubled times.
I recall a better place,
Where I controlled my mind.
We had no fears at all...
The day before the war.

Hands across the water,
The sun is in the East.
Who will feed the famine
After lions feast?
In the name of Jesus,
In the name of God,
You took it all in vain...
The day before the war.

Standing on the border,
Waiting on the line.
Feet in bloody water,
Deafened by the crime.
I recall the beauty,
Young will never see.
We had no fears at all...
The day before the war.

Hearts across the water,
The sun is in the East.
Ships arrived this morning,
From the burning sea.
Take away the glory,
Take away the pain.
You were a friend of mine...
The day before the war.

"Daylight"

"Daylight"



All of the nights when the light was low and day seemed so far away
Darkness was endless and I kept seeing ghosts turn in shades of grey
I wanted to see things just the way they used to be
Don't want those shadows hanging over me

Daylight, I wanna see daylight
Wanna see daylight that shines all around
Daylight, I wanna see clear blue light
Wanna see daylight that shines all around

Hours and hours in towers on the back road of tragedy
Voices are calling and fingers come on crawling all over me
Then when I sit up and my hands begin to shake
Suddenly there I see the dawn break

Only one thing keeping me sane, oh

"Days Like These"

"Days Like These"


The sun was shining
The sky was crying
It just tore apart
And down came the rain

And I was soaking
Yeah I was freezing
But I was feeling
No kind of pain

Come a fireball
I held it in my hand
You see before you
A man who's known greatness

I had a vision
A revelation
I took a look inside of me
And I am a sensation

Days like these I feel like I can change the world [repeat]

It's either easy
Or it's impossible
And if you ain't got it
You ain't never gonna get it

But once you find it
You gotta grab it
Reach down your own throat
And yank it to the surface

That may be brutal
May be gory
But whatever else it is
It's my story

And I believe it
Yeah, I can see it
I sing it out, shout it out
Gimme death or glory

[Chorus]

Days like these, days like these
I think I'll move a mountain or two
Days like these, days like these
Anything you want you know I'll get it for you

The sun was shining
I was crying
I saw a thousand people
Singing in the rain

And I was thinking
About the Indians
And how they say true wisdom
Only comes from pain

Come a rumbling
Humbling feeling
Like things will never
Ever be the same

But what doesn't kill you
Only makes you stronger
Today I'm strong enough
And anyway, I love the rain

[Chorus]

 

[fox69]

"Desire"

"Desire"


From the very first rush
To the very last sigh
In a moment's touch
To the whole of time
Be the secrets of pain
Kiss the tears that you cry

Just to hold without
Get to touch within
From the sound of your breath
To the taste of your skin
I'd give all my days
Just for one of your nights

I've just got to get next to you
Let it out, let it go

[Chorus:]
Desire, make it physical
Looks to feed the thrill
Desire, with its hungry eyes
Closing for the kill
Desire, all that's left in me
Tears the night in two
Desire, like a primitive
Claw my way to you
Are you thinking of me
Like I'm thinking of you?

How the innocence dies
In a passionate stare
A shaft of light
A silent dare
The call of the wild...

From the very first crime
Of original sin
To the carnal lie
Where the truth begins
Just to feel your nails
Lift me up like wings

I've just got to get next to you
Let it out, let it go

[Chorus]

"Don't Call Me"

"Don't Call Me"



You know I'll never understand your reasons
I gave you all the love that I could give
Now I'm sitting on a plane to take me far away
I've got to find a new place to live

It used to feel so good when you stood beside me
How can you forget the words you said?
Things like: I'm gonna stay with you forever
Will always echo in my head

Don't call me, don't call me, no more

If this plane ride lasts forever
I couldn't quite get over you
We spent too much time together
I can't believe we're through

Don't call me, don't call me, no more

 

[fox69]

"Don't Come To Me"

"Don't Come To Me"



Walking down the avenue
Every step I take I see you
There's nothing more that I can do
To hold back from crying

It's not that I don't have the time
To hear your voice would only cost a dime
I'm gonna save myself a dime
And you know why

'Cos in the night, when you're alone
And there is no one you can turn to
As you're reaching for the phone

Don't come to me
I won't be there you see
You turned this heart to stone
Now you'll walk alone
So don't come to me

How did I get left this way?
I must have been born yesterday
Every single word you'd say
Were lies, lies, lies

Still walking down that avenue
Every step I take I see you
There's nothing more that I can do
To hold back from crying

Don't come to me
'Cos I won't be there you see
You turned this heart to stone
Now you'll walk alone
So don't come to me
