Artist: SAVATAGE
Song: 24 HRS. AGO

Behind the wheel just went along
I'm tired of hearing the same old song
Look
I rule the night
No end in sight
I think I'm going insane, oh yeah

Engines grind
I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast
Forget the past
I'm burning tread
In my head
I am gone
Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

Got to escape
Can't take any more
I grabbed my suitcase
And kicked down the door
Yeah

I've got blood shot eyes
Hypnotized
I feel no pain
Oh yeah

Engines grind
I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast
Forget the past
I'm burning tread
In my head
I am gone
Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

Engines grind
I hit the red line
I'm movin' fast
Forget the past
I'm burning tread
In my head
I am gone
Twenty four hours ago
Yeah

Twenty four hours ago
Yeah​

Song: AGONY AND ECSTASY

Listen to me from deep down inside
I'm the madness that just will not die
With no regrets of what I'll do to you
Before the night is over
You'll be crawling to me

Call me when you're weak
For me you'll lie and cheat
You'll never get away
With me me you're here to stay
Listen D.T. can't you see
You stay with me and you'll be free
Even as I soothe your soul
I tear you down and make you old
You just keep on coming back
To buy another nickel sack
Twelve o'clock time to greet
Agony and ecstasy
Ecstasy

I'm the cries from within
When the day begins
You know you'll follow me like sheep
This shepherd never sleeps
Tell me what's your price
Come skate on my ice
My blades they never rust
I'm asking you to trust

Listen now the time is right
And what a way to start the night
Spend your money endlessly
Another grand insanity
So D.T. here is the plan
I'll make your brain a rubber band
Time to stretch it out and greet
Agony and ecstasy
Ecstasy
Ecstasy
Ecstasy
Ecstasy
Ecstasy
Feel my whisper through your haze of pain
Hear the calling of the neon vein
See my name upon your soul's marquee
I am agony and ecstasy

And just remember
If you ever need me I'm here​

Song: IF I GO AWAY

Somewhere on that long lonely road
We all stand alone
Looking for clues
From our different views

In the dark I've called out your name
It echoes in vain
Over again
In an empty room

If I go away
What would still remain of me
The ghost within your eyes
The whisper in your sighs
You see
Believe
And I'm always there

Staring down a long empty hall
Pictures on walls
All with your name
But it's not the same

Searching for the chord I can't hear
Been searching for years
It's somewhere inside
But it's well disguised

If I go away
What would still remain of me
The ghost within your eyes
The whisper in your sighs
You see
Believe
And I'm always there

Someday I'll take a chance
You find them where you can
They tend to slip away
Those doors to yesterday

Forever is a long time they say
Maybe some day
I'll meet you there
If you've time to spare​

Song: EDGE OF THORNS

An offering of reasons
We put them all in play
A covering of treasons
That one by one we let slip away

A solitary dancer
So lost upon her stage

I have seen you on the edge of dawn
Felt you here before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns
But I don't think about you anymore

A study made for winter
Of summers long ago
And dreams that use to glitter
Safely now hidden under snow

And so we end this chapter
And let the stage lights fade

I have seen you on the edge of dawn
Felt you here before you were born
Balanced your dreams upon the edge of thorns
But I don't think about you anymore​

 

[black wizard]

Song: MORPHINE CHILD

There's a thief on a summer's night
Across an ocean
Who sees another's life fading away

And of this life he writes
Without emotion
Then pushes it from sight
Somewhere faraway
To a distant land
Every tear betrayed
And never makes
And never makes
And never makes
And never makes a stand
Makes a stand
Lord there's something wrong
Makes a stand

Could a star's forgotten light
A child's devotion
Embrace eternal night
In shallow graves

As we watch from distant heights
No breath or motion
Still every ghost must haunt in its own way
Sleep beneath my dreams
Safe within my hands
Where I never under
Never under
Never understand

Lord there's something wrong

No one remembers
No one denies
No one asks questions
No one replies

Here nothing enters
Nothing departs
Here nothing's ended
If nothing starts

In your life could you carry on
Could you never think about it
Till in time you start to doubt it

Then you close your eyes
Is it really gone
How in truth can you defend her
If you're really not remembering

No regrets
If you just forget
If a memory is lenient
You can find it most convenient
So you let it fade
Till it's very vague
Just a silhouette of shadows
But the shadows are still lingering

Still I hold you there
With your endless stare

I'm too old to be living this
Lived to long to be given this
Can our god be forgiving this

I had a light that shined
Across my mind
Rarely see it any more

Now it is mostly dark
Accept for sparks
Can't remember what they're for

I am the morphine child
The dream defiled
The never ending metaphor
I am the wizard oz
Result and cause
Never look behind that door

Cantations
Cantations
Cantations
Cantations

Never listen to the crowd before me
Never listen to the self ordained
Never really wanted to believe it any way

Time is fading
Night is calling
I am on my way

Turn around turn around
Turn around turn around

Time is fading
Night is calling
I am on my...​

Song: POWER OF THE NIGHT

Out there coming closer quicker
Moving with a swiftness
Closing in on me
Children of the metal movement
The legions growing stronger
Stronger than they believe

It's a power I'm drawing
From a light that's glowing
Power of the Night
The call of the wild
Power of the Night
Raise the fist of the metal child

Thrashing
Screaming, twisting, banging
Heads upon the platform
The witch has been conceived
Children of the metal movement
The armies growing stronger
Crack my cranium

It's a power I'm drawing
From a light that's glowing
Power of the Night
The call of the wild
Power of the Night
Raise the fist of the metal child

Out there coming closer quicker
Moving with a swiftness
Closing in on me
Children of the metal movement
The legions growing stronger
Stronger than they believe

Thrashing
Screaming, twisting, banging
Heads upon the platform
The witch has been conceived

Power of the Night
The call of the wild
Power of the Night
Raise the fist of the metal child

Power of the Night
The call from the wild
Power of the Night
Power of the Night​

Song: BELIEVE

So after all those one night stands
You've ended up with heart in hand
A child alone
On your own
Retreating
Regretful for the things you're not
And all the things you haven't got
Without a home
A heart of stone
Lies bleeding

And for all the roads you followed
And for all you did not find
And for all the dreams you had to leave behind

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you
Believe
Your childhood eyes were so intense
While bartering your innocence
For bits of string
The grown-up wings
You needed

But when you had to add them up
You found that there were not enough
To get you in
Pay for sins repeated

And for all the years you borrowed
And for all the tears you hide
And for all the fears you had to keep inside

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark
I hear your screams

Don't walk away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you is
Believe

I never wanted to know
Never wanted to see
I wasted my time
Till time wasted me
I never wanted to go
I always wanted to stay
'Cause the persons I am
Are the parts that I play
So I plot and I plan
And I hope and I scheme
To the lure of a night
Filled with unfinished dreams
And I'm holding on tight
To a world gone astray
As they charge me for years
I can no longer pay

I am the way
I am the light
I am the dark
Inside the night
I hear your hopes
I feel your dreams
And in the dark
I hear your screams
Don't turn away
Just take my hand
And when you make your final stand
I'll be right there
I'll never leave
And all I ask of you

Believe ...​

Song: THERE IN THE SILENCE

Here on this night
Behind walls made of stone
Where no one can enter and
The dark dreams alone

But now someone's entered
The walls are defied
The shadows they watched
While the dark sympathized

But there in the silence
There in the silence
There in the silence

Something hides
Something lies
Something dies

Something breathes

The mind can imagine
The dark can deceive
And here on this night
Together they weave

A shadow's repentance
A forgotten life
All brought together
In the mercy of night

But there in the silence
There in the silence
There in the silence

Something hides
Something lies
Something dies

Something breathes​

 

[black wizard]

Song: YOU'RE ALIVE

So D.T. returned
To the ground he had burned in the past
And the press they all laughed
And they said it never lasts

Well the crowd they came in
Just to see a man back from the dead
As he stood on the stage
It echoed in his head

When you're skating on ice too thin to take it
You got to move fast or else you'll break it
So throw back your hair and let the wind rush by
And you're alive

So people take care when you're chasing a dream in the night
That the walls of the past don't interrupt your flight
Never stop never turn
Never look never learn
So they say
Somewhere in time we must pay
For yesterdays

When you're skating on ice too thin to take it
Got to move fast or else you'll break it
Throw back your hair and let the wind rush by
And you're alive
Yeah you're alive
And you're alive
And you're alive
All right​

 

[black wizard]

Song: WASHED OUT

I've been let loose on the town tonight
Out of control don't need no more
I'm feeling mean dressed in leather
It's a screamer

City nights
Trashing all the sites
When will this night come to end

Washed out Washed out
Washed out Washed out
Washed out Washed out
Alright

All the king's horses
And all the king's men
Could never put me back together again
I guess the action wins
How could this all begin?

It is time for just one more line
When will this night come to end
Washed out Washed out
Washed out Washed out
Washed out Washed out
I'm washed out

It is time for just one more line
When will this night come to end
Washed out Washed out
Washed out Washed out
Washed out Washed out​
