[Instrumental]

I've walked through the lonely places I've seen years of hurt in their eyes And passing the empty faces The story told so many times Now it's time to fight Together we unite - Tonight, we shall arise! Their spirit lay crushed before them All hope gone before it began A new cause, behold the savior The chosen, a leader of men Now it's time to fight Together we unite From out of the darkness and leading us on in... CHORUS 1: A rise to power, the world is in our hands Marching on, we fight as one A rise to power, we spread throughout the lands Cast aside the fallen ones The armies of the light, we shall arise! SOLO: Stu I am the chosen one The hand of God upon the world Oppose my word and you'll all be destroyed As time marches on eternal Growing in strength, my word is feared Don't pray to your gods - you now pray to me! Heed my words and save your soul... SOLO: Tim HARMONY CHORUS 2: A rise to power, the world is in my hands A sign from God, I'm the the chosen one A rise to power, we spread throughout the lands Cast aside the fallen ones The armies show my might, we shall arise! Marching on and on, to my eyes I do no wrong Blinded to the truth - I'm just a man Believing my own words, distort the world with lies Into madness I descend - forevermore... SOLO: Tim / Stu HARMONY CHORUS 3: A rise to power, the world was in my hands Cast aside - the fallen one The final hour - into madness I descend A final curse, though tonight I burn My spirit will survive, I shall arise!

SOLO: Tim A shadow falls upon the night A freezing cold and fear - my herald call A noble man once long ago Now evil burns within my soul The power is mine, no one I fear When life or death is my command I'd trade it all to turn back time... I was once a mortal man Saw jealousy arise - my pride and fall I do not live, I cannot die I'm cursed to walk these streets alone Eternal life but not alive The Banshees cry my tragic tale Every morning with the dawn... CHORUS: Blackened heart, blackened soul, netherlife All I am, all I feel, all I see Black roses die... SOLO: Tim / Stu From the night I betrayed my world And myself I still feel the flames Burned - scarred What is left of me? What remains? Cursed - scorned My foolish pride! Eternal life, eternal death - I paid the price... SOLO: Stu / Tim / Tim REPEAT CHORUS

United we stand All intention is clear Enraged by injustice No longer blinded by fear BRIDGE 1: Young blood within us Tired of wasting time We will crush you - all! (DIE!) Never doubting Always in control Believing in something We've never known at all BRIDGE 2: Young blood within us Strength born of fire We will rise up - high! CHORUS: Insanity's fall - divided and torn In glory or death we will rise Fire in our eyes, in cold frost of night Our guide into darkness will die... Hardened by anger Our salvation draws near My heart, my soul My life - my own BRIDGE 3: Too late - I know I see the forces rising Before the lines I pray The future will be... REPEAT CHORUS SOLO: Tim / Tim / Dale Corney REPEAT CHORUS

Making the play, the future is mine Seizing the day, walking the line Here I stand, just a man with his life in his hands With tooth and nail and hand over fist I climb on and on... PRE-CHORUS 1: A dream of a life far from here I know one day I'll find... CHORUS: A better way A brighter day The perfect life Is on the other side A chance for me To live the dream The grass is green On the other side... Reaching the top and I wonder, is this all there is? All those years that I walked the line Played the role, took it's toll on this goldfish bowl I call life From every direction a voice - don't know which way to turn... PRE-CHORUS 2: I search for a life far from here The one I left behind... REPEAT CHORUS SOLOs: Tim BRIDGE: Another headline, another fallen star Are we better off where we are? REPEAT CHORUS x2

Oh - Thunder roars, the sky above is black Lightning cracks the sky Oh - Horizontal rain that drives us back But still we've got to try... CHORUS: Stormchaser (x4) Oh - Electronic sensors watch the sky Chaos all around Oh - Fujita scale left somewhere far behind We face a monster on the ground... REPEAT CHORUS HARMONY SOLO: Tim REPEAT CHORUS x2

I've heard about the secret voices Claiming to be heard Their souls were lost in madness Never to return Reaching out from within the circle Dictating all our lives No feelings felt, all questions answered Too easy we deny PRE-CHORUS: Can't leave this realm behind Or all I am inside me dies Defending the innocents' every life... CHORUS 1: Lost - in this nightmare, a world full of fear Where madness hides Lost - in the shadows when darkness falls I'm lost inside my mind... Sunrise holds no guarantees Foreclosure or relief The system failed, the silence broken Crushed beyond belief REPEAT PRE-CHORUS CHORUS 2: Lost - in this nightmare, a world full of fear Where madness hides Lost - in the shadows when darkness falls Inside my mind Blind - in the twilight that comes for us all In the dead of night Lost - when there's nowhere left to run I'm lost inside my mind... HARMONY SOLO: Tim / Dale Corney / Tim BRIDGE: Is this real or is this a dream? Can't leave this world behind me now Again I pray for the dawn... REPEAT CHORUS 2

HARMONY A plastic life inside a plastic world No longer feel the fire So sanitised, integrity's demise It's evil in disguise... We blindly trust our guiding light Following misguided dreams What have we done? We've gone too far... Unwise to the world, we're told what to see Force-fed a life so sugary sweet Never questioning the world around us Never dared to look inside... CHORUS: We are lost in the light Inner darkness that betrays the night Is this the world we wanted? Somehow we've lost our way... We've lost our way... SOLOs: Tim (SPOKEN OVER SOLO) Censored thoughts, so far removed from life Everything we see on TV, the music we hear, the games we play Twisted and diluted to "protect us" Is it any wonder our children are looking elsewhere for the truth? Feeling the anger rise when they learn it's all been lies... SOLO: Dakk / Tim HARMONY Deprived of the truth, we're told what to feel Accepting their words, a world beyond real What once began with the best intentions Somehow ended up as lies... REPEAT CHORUS OUTRO VOCALS + SOLO: Tim

HARMONY I can't believe what I can see A human? An alien? Something in between? Strapped down screams, a white room red Ripping flesh, her final breath Chaos, fear, transfixed in place Emerging form now taking shape Trapped inside this deadly space Death is here... Is this a force of nature? Can I relate to it for... I need your mind to guide me I need your strength inside me How could I be so blind? Fear is sending me blind I can't breathe inside An infant's mind but so much more Is reaching out to all Horror, hatred, deep in shock All thoughts are known to me Can't comprehend what I've done wrong Death I fear... This is no force of nature I can relate to it for... I want your mind to guide me I want your strength inside me How can fear be kind? SOLOs: Tim HARMONY SOLO: Tim BRIDGE: Join with me and you will see the key to human destiny Release the pain and suffering, transforming bland society Evolving form, evolving mind, I'll show you what you're meant to be Beyond the realm of stagnant life, I offer you infinity! Dripping blood the only sound Silent stares from all around Rising up the creature smiles Its purpose realised Reach within unknowing minds Steal knowledge, strength, all life it finds The final human chapter told Now death is here! There is contempt of nature There's no relation here, 'cos... I have your mind to guide me And I have your strength inside me Traumatised... I have your minds inside me Leaving human life behind me You're traumatised....

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas I’m travellin on, far and wide But now it seems, I’m just a stranger to myself And all the things I sometimes do, it isn’t me but someone else I close my eyes, and think of home Another city goes by in the night Ain’t it funny how it is, you never miss it `til it’s gone away And my heart is lying there and will be `til my dying day So understand, don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years Face up, make your stand And realize you’re living in the golden years Too much time on my hands I got you on my mind Can’t ease this pain, so easily When you can’t find the words to say it’s hard to make it through another day And it just makes me wanna cry and throw my hands up to the sky So understand, don’t waste your time always searching for those wasted years Face up, make your stand And realize you’re living in the golden years
