Balance of Power
Album • 2001
So now you're finally here, beyond the reach of fear Just feel the waves come in, so far from where you've been There's a kind of stranger waiting at the door Some kind of nervous stranger, never seen before Dark and brooding day, crystal moon at night Silvery shadows calling fantasy or flight This won't take too long, I'm not so far away Before I am gone, you'll know me inside and outside I am here to change your world in every way Which way do you fall: Lightside or Darkside? Higher than the sun Above the clouds that hide reality away I'll take you there I will take you there Higher than the sun Between the heavens and the demons of the day I'll take you there I will take you there Never turn your back, don't try to walk away Something inside is burning deeper everyday Dark and brooding day, crystal moon at night Silvery shadows calling fantasy or flight Deep inside your soul I'm hiding, holding on Breathe in the fear and feed me inside and outside Unchain your confusion, I'll soon be gone Let your spirits fly to the light beyond Higher than the sun Above the clouds that hide reality away I'll take you there I will take you there Higher than the sun Between the heavens and the demons of the day I'll take you there I will take you there (x2)
Lend me your lonely faces Sheltering in darkened places The reckoning is at hand Unchain tomorrow's rain Let's wash the evil far away The world will have to understand Too dark to see Cover me with everything too dark to see and Shelter me The cold wind of illusion's crying Shelter me Keep me warm Shelter me The underside of evil's coming Shelter me from it all Here in the shallow waters Cooling in the waves and wonder How can this be all bad? It's all the same If you are blinded by the spell you're under Too bad, it's too bad My eyes are red Ultimately, everybody's eyes are red, so Shelter me The cold wind of illusion's crying Shelter me Keep me warm Shelter me The underside of evil's coming Shelter me from it all (x2)

I woke up still dreaming The air was static My eyes can't see My senses turn to automatic So I dream again The waves have reached the shore So I dream again and wait for something more No sign, no answer I'm looking at mountains, but I'm way too close No sign, no wonder I'm looking at every way to break the circle Dance me to the fire dance Following steps in the sand Dance me to the fire dance All hell has come loose The future is out of my hands Not what I planned I'm stolen, I'm broken I'm changing colors The veil has gone and so has everything that matters Come and hear the sound of silence in the haze Can you hear the sound? The colors that it makes No sound, no images This must be Darkness by another name No sound, no answer Some kind of evil's come to carry us away Into the fire dance Following steps in the sand Dance me to the fire dance All hell has come loose The future is broken Dance me to the fire dance Following steps in the sand Dance me to the fire dance All hell has come loose The future is not what I planned And so I dream Again I dream The waves have reached the shore, it seems And so I dream Again I dream! Dance me to the fire dance Following steps in the sand Dance me to the fire dance All hell has come loose (x2) The future is open Words have been broken

Do you hear the sound between these walls? Can you see the shadows as they crawl around and fall around? Here comes the velvet covered scream Here comes the never ending wall around, it's all around There's one small voice And there's never ending diamonds in the sky One voice for each and every one There's one small voice And this world could turn blood red if you let it fly One voice and you're the one Cover up the lost, alone and dead There's a time and place where no one cares about what you care about Wipe away the tears, the blood, the sweat It's all so clear now there's no clouds around, no clouds around There's one small voice And there's never ending diamonds in the sky One voice for each and every one There's one small voice And this world could turn blood red if you let it fly One voice and you're the one There's one small voice And there's never ending diamonds in the sky One voice for each and every one There's one small voice And this world could turn blood red if you let it fly One voice for each and every one There's one small voice And there's never ending diamonds in the sky One voice for each and every one There's one small voice And this world could turn blood red if you let it fly One voice, you're the one

(What's your pleasure? No one needs to know…) No one needs to know No one needs to know I'm in league with strangers, I'm talking all the time How's the weather? When I need the danger, I find it every time Come whatever 'Cause I'm damned if I'll be chastised for my healthy wholesome pastimes And I pray that I'll remain forever more in the pleasure room The pleasure room (x3) No one needs to know Is the weakness winning? Scared of what you'll find Pain or pleasure If your dreams are damning, are you the forgiving kind? For now, forever? All at once I feel the weight of what I've seen And how I've prayed That one day I'll be safe forever more in the pleasure room The pleasure room (x3) No one needs to know As I weep inside my prison cell, I keep alive my private hell I pray that I'll remain forever more in my pleasure room My pleasure room (x7) No one needs to know (x6)

First time, there's no returning Second time, there's no way home Do you feel lucky once again? Rumour has it it's all or nothing One long nighttime coming soon We're ready to dance, but I hear nothing There's no one to play the tune Can you feel the sun? It's burning, burning Do you feel the stone-cold rain? The Killer or the Cure The final act, deciding factor The Killer or the Cure It's an un-holy war You can see my lifetime in the flicker of an eye From black and white to cyber-space You can live your whole life long Nothing seems to go too wrong until you're ready, ready to run We're all waiting, has anybody found the starting gun? Can you feel the sun? It's burning, burning Do you feel the stone-cold rain? The Killer or the Cure The final act, deciding factor The Killer or the Cure The neverlasting peace hereafter The Killer or the Cure No return the morning after The Killer or the Cure It's an un-holy war Can you feel the sun? Can you feel the warm rain? The Killer or the Cure The final act, deciding factor The Killer or the Cure The neverlasting peace hereafter The Killer or the Cure No return the morning after The Killer or the Cure It's an un-holy war The first time, there's no returning The second time, there's no way back home Tell me now, do you feel lucky? Tell me now...do you feel lucky?

Look inside those crazy eyes of a blackened, hazy mind Think you've found a secret power? Mmm...better close those eyes (Feels so good) Living under city towers (Feels so right) Fallen apples rotting under (Feels so good) Warming under sunny summer skies Open up the real world, crawl inside Worshipping in the house of Cain Poisoning your life away Worshipping in the house of Cain Poisoning your life, poisoning your life away Once you had a real name Now caught up in life's little pains Never thought of asking why Wake up, come and kiss the sky (Feels so good) Underneath the dying flowers (Feels so right) Eye to eye with all that thunder (Feels so good) Thinking of chemical suicide Turn out the lights and crawl inside Worshipping in the house of Cain Poisoning your life away Worshipping in the house of Cain Poisoning your life, poisoning your life away Worshipping in the house of Cain Poisoning your life away Worshipping in the house of Cain Poisoning your life, poisoning your life Worshipping in the house of Cain Poisoning your life away Worshipping in the house of Cain Poisoning your life, poisoning your life away Living under city towers Fallen apples rotting under Warming under sunny skies Open up the real world, crawl inside Crawl inside! Leave all the tears behind and your fears the hands of time Squeeze the poison through his veins Just a kiss to ease the pain In the dark streets, [?] rain The serpent’s made his delivery

The days of a child are over The fields are gone There's nobody there who knows your name Remember the games you played How you laughed at everyone It's a shame How can time take away what is mine? I'm gonna bury the memories one by one by one Anyone here who feels the same? (Who here feels the same?) You can shake it around inside, but it always comes out just the same The river flows to wash away a Hard Life A cool, cool breeze can empty out your soul Another sunset comes to calm a Hard Life So kiss your past goodbye and let it go Beyond the new horizon, beyond it all There's a heart, there's a soul There's a part of us all that's gonna carry the memories on and on and on Anyone here who feels the same? (Who here feels the same?) You can shake it around inside, but it always comes out just the same The river flows to wash away a Hard Life A cool, cool breeze can empty out your soul Another sunset comes to calm a Hard Life So kiss your past goodbye, let it go The more things change, the more they stay the same The river flows to wash away a Hard Life A cool, cool breeze can empty out your soul Another sunset comes to calm a Hard Life So kiss your past goodbye, let it go

There's no mistake, there's no regret What I know is there's no room for changing All I own is one degree that's in life, that's in me This is fast becoming my philosophy Feel the truth The unmistaken, unclean truth And see the truth My eyes are open wide 'Cause I'm stronger now I last much longer now But I still hunger now So I'm searching for the Truth again I'm older now and I feel bolder now, but I'm no wiser now So I'm searching for the Truth again Sudden changes make their mark This fascination has no explanation Even now I feel the sting, something's wrong with everything Check your pulse - you could be stone cold dead now Feel the truth The unmistaken, unclean truth And see the truth My eyes are open wide 'Cause I'm stronger now I last much longer now But I still hunger now So I'm searching for the Truth again I'm older now and I feel bolder now, but I'm no wiser now So I'm searching for the Truth again Searching for the Truth again 'Cause I'm stronger now I last much longer now But I still hunger now So I'm searching for the Truth again I'm older now and I feel bolder now, but I'm no wiser now So I'm searching for the Truth again Searching for the Truth again Searching for the Truth again

Take me to another time and place sanctuary from the real world Ease my senses open up my mind help me lighten up this heavy heavy load And if you're searchung for the truth we're living it And if you're searchung for the dream we're living it We're having the time of our lives call it a way to survive We're having the time of our lives it's just another way to stay alive Scratch the surface and I think you'll see there'a a deeper understanding Find a new release of energy when you find it too demanding

Your sudden silence lead the way Unnaturally without a word to say It's only your conscience killing time Soon enough you'll find you're on The unforgiven side of paradise How many faces can you see And everyone's a mystery to me So bury your heart beneath the sand One by one the tides of hope Reveal another man The other side of paradise is calling Feels like I know the way The other side of paradise is calling May be I belog maybe I should stay On the unforgiven side of paradise
