Ashes to Ashes
There she walks, touching your soul like holy fire Heaven knows, heartache to your ears, madness disappears She's kissing the flame of desire Yesterday's pain, illusions are on fire Lightning strikes when she walks by Ashes to ashes Lust to lust, dust to dust Tears she cries, touching your heart like holy water When she sighs, magic to your ears, madness disappears She's fanning the flame of her desire Yesterday's pain, illusions are on fire Lightning strikes when she walks by Ashes to ashes Lust to lust, dust to dust The way she cries, grabbing your soul with blind ambition Nothing remains but her illusion Lightning strikes when she walks by Ashes to ashes Lust to lust, dust to dust Lightning strikes when she walks by Ashes to ashes Lust to lust, dust to dust

An ebony heart, housed in a demon well-versed in his arts Sins б la carte, wielding terror no sane man conceives A righteous faзade, defies social order for the sake of his god Hell's fusillade, his dementia has sired the grief Crusaders of peace Locate his lair and tighten the squeeze Bring him down to his knees Hell-spawned parasite Flees the international searchlights Like a raven at midnight A plague for mankind, a social disease in a fanatical mind Equally blind, the minions who firmly believe Wickedly sly, recruiting the lemmings who gratefully die An eye for an eye, for a grievance no sane man conceives Champions of good Drive a stake through his black heart and his servanthood He's so misunderstood... ha! Hell-spawned parasite Flees the international searchlights Like a raven at midnight Woe is the curse upon us all He's frightfully due his curtain call How many will die before he falls? Beware the raven... A righteous faзade, defies social order for the sake of his god Hell's fusillade, his dementia has sired the grief Crusaders of peace Locate his lair and tighten the squeeze Bring him down to his knees Hell-spawned parasite Flees the international searchlights Like a raven at midnight Hell-spawned parasite Flees the international searchlights Like a raven at midnight

A woman sits and cries for her loss Counting the tears, estimating the cost She's blaming herself for letting him go Instead of defending the rights of her home Now her grief cuts deep like a knife, A knife made of guilt, and the loss of a life A woman sits and dies more each day Little by little life slipping away Wishing it soon will be her time to die Lying in peace with him by her side Not a thanks for the price they have paid A family lost with so little to say The widow's grief

You involve us in actions that are not our concern Repeating the history'you just never learn No thought to the families, no thought to their fate Playing the war games against those you hate How dare you place the blame at the widow's peak? Faceless apologies for the words that you speak False atonement with the tears that you weep At the height of the widow's peak Designing the costumes in war widow black And practicing feelings, those you lack With delusions of grandeur... illusions of fame Your pointing the fingers and leave out your name It's not your son who's sent to die Proving a point with omissions and lies How dare you place the blame at the widow's peak? Faceless apologies for the words that you speak False atonement with the tears that you weep At the height of the widow's peak You justify actions with plans to attack Concealing intentions and twisting the facts Magnanimous promises take the extreme Praise be to you, praise be your needs How dare you place the blame at the widow's peak? Faceless apologies for the words that you speak False atonement with the tears that you weep At the height of the widow's peak At the widow's peak

In the days of old Stars disappear, nights are growing cold Oh, heroes of our schemes Reaching out to someone, someone of their dreams When the lighting strikes When the children sigh When the magic dies Calling all heroes When the voice decays When the death remains When the music fades Calling all heroes In these days of old Heroes appear, fantasy unfolds Stories untold Voices of the heart, magic of the soul Oh, heroes of our schemes Reaching out to someone, someone of their dreams When the lighting strikes When the children sigh When the magic dies Calling all heroes When the voice decays When the death remains When the music fades Calling all heroes It's calling out to me Fantasy or reality, love can never be Oh, solidarity Deny the cheap insanity, you're reaching out to me When the lighting strikes When the children sigh When the magic dies Calling all heroes When the voice decays When the death remains When the music fades Calling all heroes

In these days of confusion, in these nights of strife The past comes back to haunt you In this kingdom of madness, you fight for your life Tempestuous storms of dйjа vu Silver and gold, souls bought and sold Curse of the Pharaoh Sky full of dreams, a fortune in schemes Curse of the Pharaoh Beware of the prophets with self-serving rules They are not your saviors The modern-day hero becomes yesterday's fool And this you must remember Blood in the sand, toil through the land Curse of the Pharaoh Chains rattle on, a new Babylon Curse of the Pharaoh You suffer the sinner, forsake the lost May the strong survive You cast out the demons whatever the cost Keep the dream alive Silver and gold, souls bought and sold Curse of the Pharaoh Sky full of dreams, a fortune in schemes Curse of the Pharaoh Blood in the sand, toil through the land Curse of the Pharaoh Chains rattle on, a new Babylon Curse of the Pharaoh The chains rattle on In this new Babylon

The path to unknown glory, the road to unknown fate The never-ending story, a prophet or a snake Being doomed from the start, transgression a la carte Theories state the sadness to the human mystery Temptation to the madness that plagues society Strapping crosses to our back, we brace for the attack The tolling of the bell, prophets do foretell A soul to buy and sell, no sentence with reprieve The tolling of the bell Sanity of honor, insecurity of shame Rounding of the corner to a street that bears your name A destiny in doubt, a spinning roundabout The sanctity of knowledge, a thunderstorm of tears A future now acknowledged, the facing of your fears At the end you'll pay the cost for the game you've played and lost The tolling of the bell, prophets do foretell A soul to buy and sell, no sentence with reprieve The tolling of the bell, the spirit leaves the shell Magic of the spell created to deceive The tolling of the bell Cleansing of obsession, a soul hung out to dry Bleaching of confessions, excuses, alibis False redemption of the heart, false reality is art Holidays in Babylon will finally end one day You'll testify to goings on, a lifelong resume The mirror's coming clear, revealing yesteryear The tolling of the bell, prophets do foretell A soul to buy and sell, no sentence with reprieve The tolling of the bell, the spirit leaves the shell Magic of the spell created to deceive The tolling of the bell, prophets do foretell A soul to buy and sell, no sentence with reprieve The tolling of the bell, the spirit leaves the shell Magic of the spell created to deceive The tolling of the bell The tolling of the bell

I've seen your face before somewhere in my dreams Years and tears cannot erase I know the time is right, fate has intervened Lonely souls can now embrace Somehow I sense you still remember Somehow I feel that you still care Steeped in the mystery Secrets of you I've played your heart before, hidden by the past Memories returning strong Magic of déjа vu justified at last Destiny can't hold out for long Somehow I sense you feel the yearning Somehow I feel that you still care Steeped in the mystery Secrets of you Uncharted history Secrets of you I know the time is right, fate has intervened Lonely souls can now embrace Somehow I sense you still remember Somehow I feel that you still care Steeped in the mystery Secrets of you Uncharted history Secrets of you

Silently still, the wrath of ubiquitous gods Sanity wills, the manmade destruction to come Is it the full moon that summons the madness to grow Stealing the heart from mankind? Are the heroes and saints, the souls who create Fated to run out of time? With destiny calling it's moonshine With empires tumbling it's... Moonshine and madness Headlines leading to sadness Madness gone wild, destruction now rains from the sky Pity the child, tears flooding millions of eyes Will this new wave of madness be nurtured or slain? What will we favor to preach? Will the lessons of old grow toxic with mold Poisoning all within reach? With empires tumbling it's headlines With destiny calling it's moonshine When towers go crumbling it's... Moonshine and madness Headlines leading to sadness Will this new wave of terror find converts or foes? What will we favor to preach? Will the lessons of old grow toxic with mold Poisoning all within reach? With destiny calling it's moonshine With empires tumbling it's headlines With destiny calling it's moonshine When towers go crumbling it's...

Experience of lifetime, lessons of our past The mist of total knowledge lifted now at last A universal college, we learn from our mistakes Achieving understanding, achieving grace The legions of fate warn when it's time to move on The march of the saints teach us one by one A new inventory, a fresh shot at glory Then it's back to heaven A new range of feeling, a ripe time for bleeding Then it's back to heaven Each try gives us courage, each try gives us strength Each try tests the borders of our growing faith Lives of observation, choices are retraced Achieving the wisdom, achieving grace The beacons at night signal the right time to go The guardians of light rearrange your soul A new chance for freedom, a dream to believe in Then it's back to heaven A new time for learning, a fresh heart for burning Then it's back to heaven The legions of fate warn when it's time to move on The march of the saints teach us one by one A new inventory, a fresh shot at glory Then it's back to heaven A new range of feeling, a ripe time for bleeding Then it's back to heaven A new time for learning then it's heaven It's back to heaven

Hidden beneath a fanciful sheath A mistress of mayhem and strife With the promise of heavenly bliss you'll forfeit your sight Sheltered below this sham curio Meticulous in its design There in your dream, a poisonous rose on the vine She's got a Evil heart... drawing you into her web Evil mind... you might just be better off dead Masquerade Tailoring charms to persuade Many you know have lost all control Entranced by her comic ballet Look to the flash in her eyes, it gives her away Passions will rage, mimic a cage Enwrapping you into her spell Prepare for the fight of your life in love's citadel She's got a Evil heart... drawing you into her web Evil mind... you might just be better off dead Masquerade Tailoring charms to persuade It's a masquerade

Her verse is formed by the light in her eyes She's taking control, moving my soul with her bridge of sighs Her chorus is love's counterpart Her teardrops can sing to my heart Her song grows intense by the hour And her power is in the magic of the chords Her whispers of love shape a sweet flowing melody Her heartbeat at night, her breath of life in our symphony And when the orchestra plays Sinfonia concertante Causing my soul to devour All the power is in the magic of the chords Her stanza of hope Perpetual rhythm and majesty Her song gives life Weaving my dreams in her tapestry Lord, she's baring her soul to me Her promise of love strummed on a gentle mandolin Her concerto's embrace composed with the grace of a violin When the finale arrives I'll fight with the will to survive Her song has the strength to empower Because her power is in the magic of the chords
