Ghosts From the Past

The night has come to the city And all the lights are shining bright All the girls are looking pretty And all the boys are running wild (running wild) They are the children of the night In their hearts, a burning desire No cries for the children of the night Down the line, when all is said and done The restless hearts in the city They’re always coming back for more There is a hunger in their soul, they’re crying out They have no fear to lose control They are the children of the night In their hearts, a burning desire No cries for the children of the night Down the line, when all is said and done You can never steal their dreams Many tried and still it seems They’re holding on, never letting go They are the children of the night (children of the night) In their hearts, a burning desire No cries for the children of the night Down the line, when all is said and done Over and over and over again

When first I laid eyes upon you An arrow went straight through my heart I remember when I saw you Working in the corner bar The body of a goddess Your eyes were like sparkling stars Hooked from the very first moment You captured me right from the start A miracle An angel to rescue my soul Like sent from above A feeling so strong that it had to be love Our days spent together The happiest times of my life Our nights of endless pleasure In love and desire But our fate was another It was hard to say goodbye You said: “don’t wait for me, baby Spread your wings and fly!” A miracle An angel to rescue my soul Like sent from above A feeling so strong that it had to be love Was it love or stone cold desire? Now I know you were my destiny You taught me to follow my heart And you showed me the way A miracle An angel to rescue my soul Like sent from above A feeling so strong that it had to be love You showed me the way, our love was not in vain Our love was not in vain, you fueled the flame And the fire is burning

Help me find the way And a better day in the world I say No one seems to heed the writing on the wall No one heeds the call Or cares about the state of it all No one sees the signs or reads between the lines We’re heading for disaster Falling off the edge of the world Nothing can save us I see a world where the fools are seen as wise Where truth is lies They hide behind the fears they planted in our minds And sow the seeds of terror Another one came home today They welcomed him at the grave Just another part of this crazy game I don’t wanna play What good is a hero’s welcome When there is no one to help them The deed is done, no battle won We need a bigger gun No one holds the answer The blind leading the blind Somebody save us I see a world where the fools are seen as wise Where truth is lies They hide behind the fears they planted in our minds And sow the seeds of terror I see a world where the fools are seen as wise Where truth is lies They hide behind the fears they planted in our minds And sow the seeds of terror I see a world where the fools are seen as wise Where truth is lies They hide behind the fears they planted in my mind Where truth is lies

So you think that you’re somebody So you think you’re the one Let me tell you you’re nobody We’ll rub your face in the dirt A thorn in their sight Be ready to fight Fear of the stranger The power of ignorance Dealing with danger All follow the puppeteer This old town is a battleground All they want is to see you down Disappointment, failure and ghosts from the past Are rising to confront the enemy There’s no place to go, the devil you know Fear of the stranger The power of ignorance Dealing with danger All follow the puppeteer Their fire is burning They protect it with their lives But the wheels are not turning ‘Cause the flames have blinded their eyes Fear of the stranger The power of ignorance Dealing with danger All follow the puppeteer Oh, yeah All follow the puppeteer

Breaking your back for a living It’s a hard life doing 9-5 Never any time for giving You take a look in the mirror Do you like what you see Do you still believe In a world of dreams? You work your life away What have you got at the end of the day Empty promises and bills to pay That’s what you got at the end of the day When you get up in the morning Can’t move your feet and your body aches Another day awaits Don’t take a look in the mirror You can’t stand to see Or face reality Is this what it was meant to be? You work your life away What have you got at the end of the day Empty promises and bills to pay That’s what you got at the end of the day (You work your life away) Oh, listen to what I say Can you hear me? You work your life away What have you got at the end of the day Empty promises and bills to pay That’s what you got at the end of the day You work your life away What have you got at the end of the day Empty promises and bills to pay That’s what you got at the end of the day You kill yourself to live And all you do is give You work your life away

I was never the one to believe in love I’d had enough It never made no sense Couldn’t find any romance But baby, when I met you You turned my world around I’m in seventh heaven When the whip comes down You’re all that I want You’re all that I need Down on my knees I’m eager to please You are my ecstasy You’re all that I want You’re all that I need Baby, I’m dirty And baby, you’re mean You know I’ve been a bad bad boy And I gotta come clean I know what you got You know what I need I’m living in a world of fantasy You’re all that I want You’re all that I need Down on my knees I’m eager to please You are my ecstasy You’re all that I want You’re all that I need Oh baby, they say it’s wrong But I can’t fight this feeling Never had me a love so strong Your chains are holding me You never pushed me away And even though you’re breaking my balls I’m more than willing to pay You’re all that I want You’re all that I need Down on my knees I’m eager to please You are my ecstasy You’re all that I want You’re all that I need All that I need Whips and chains A bed of nails Sweet innocence in your world of pain It’s the name of the game

When the spirit Is calling out your name When you hear a voice Inside your heart Telling you not to be afraid It leads the way in the dark In times of trouble and despair Follow your heart Let it show you the way Follow wherever it leads Spirits will guide you Won’t lead you astray Knowing your heart’s Like a wheel Endless days And sleepless nights Wanna drift away You’re praying for the tide And when you feel all hope is lost And you cannot count the cost Just remember the things you love the most ‘Cause some will never see the sun Follow your heart Let it show you the way Follow wherever it leads Spirits will guide you Won’t lead you astray Knowing your heart’s Like a wheel Yeah, sail away The spirits will guide you Follow your heart Let it show you the way Follow wherever it leads Spirits will guide you Won’t lead you astray Knowing your heart’s Like a wheel Follow your heart Let it show you the way Follow wherever it leads Follow your heart Let it show you the way Follow wherever it leads Spirits will guide you Won’t lead you astray Knowing your heart’s Like a wheel Follow your heart Let it show you the way

All she ever wanted Was to make her daddy proud She was a sweet, sweet little girl They kept her from temptation Until her graduation Somebody showed her a different world Oh, another world Days of innocence were over Little daddy’s girl In another world Life would never be the same Life in the fast lane She moved away from home Tried to make it on her own She ended up on the wrong side of town She met her sugar daddy He said he loved her madly That kinda loving would bring her down Oh, it brought her down Little daddy’s girl It’s a lonely world Now she works the night away Little daddy’s girl In another world Life would never be the same Little daddy’s girl It’s a lonely world Now she works the night away Little daddy’s girl (daddy’s girl) In another world (ain’t no pretty world) She works the night away

Can you remember a time When your spirit was free And living was easy Never a care Flying on the wings of a dream Remember the days The world was your oyster Choices to make, what path to follow What road to take I hear the echoes of your song It‘s been so long They call it moving on But where is the fire in your soul The road is long It’s hard to make it No way to fake it Those days are gone Looking back seems so unreal Wake up and realize You’re living on borrowed money And borrowed time Choices ere made, what path to follow What road to take I hear the echoes of your song It‘s been so long They call it moving on But where is the fire in your soul You need some rock ‘n’ roll Break away the chains that bind you, yeah Rock ‘n’ roll I hear the echoes of your song It‘s been so long They call it moving on But where is the fire burning strong Hard earned money Always seemed so sweet But you’re only living to make ends meet Paying for things you don’t need A prisoner in your concrete box Modern day society Tells us what we need to be Take a stand and you will see The dream could be reality Keep on walking that lonely road Rock ‘n’ roll

They came in search for truth To find the meaning To find the peace within The preacher spoke of a new tomorrow They put their lives in his hands His wish was their command Their fate was sealed His presence was so strong He seemed to be the chosen one He sowed the seeds of hope And paved the way Into the promised land They walked the path of no return For him they all would burn Their fate was sealed Murder – in the first degree No dignity, no revolution Slaughter – no liberty No brave new world Just one solution The congregation embraced Their destiny And drank the toast of death Like children fooled by the pied piper They put their lives in his hands His wish was their command Their fate was sealed Murder – in the first degree No dignity, no revolution Slaughter – no liberty No brave new world Just one solution Murder Reverend Jones Was there ever goodness In your soul Or was it all just part of the plan? Murder – in the first degree No dignity, no revolution Slaughter – no liberty No brave new world Just one solution Murder – in the first degree No dignity, no revolution Slaughter – insanity No brave new world Just one solution One solution

Broken heart Broken dream I’m on my own again So it seems She’s gone away Nothing left to say This time is the last time I’ll lead myself astray No woman No lies No heartache No cries Mistreated No more This time The last time, the last time for sure Out on the streets In the pouring rain Another wasted love Down the drain Can it really be Love’s no friend of mine My heart has been torn apart Too many times No woman No lies No heartache No cries Mistreated No more This time The last time No more Oh, you just can’t hide All that wounded pride It hits you like lightning strikes Tears you up inside So many bitter tears To end all those bitter years Out of love, out of luck Well, the thunder has struck No woman No lies No heartache No cries Mistreated No more This time No more No woman No lies No heartache No cries Mistreated No more This time The last time Never fall in love again No more I learned your lesson from your messin’ No more spending money No more fooling ‘round No more bitching all over town This is the last time This is the last goodbye

Same old shit, but a different day Nothing ever comes my way Feeling trapped, will it ever change? Wish that I could run away My mind it wanders Wish I had the strength To dare to go To dare to fly To cross the sea not knowing What is on the other side Everywhere I see Empty eyes staring at me Reflections of broken dreams What could have been, was not to be But I’m gonna stand up and fight I want to know what it’s like To dare to go To dare to fly To cross the sea not knowing What is on the other side To seize the day And break away To go against the grain Break the chains And pave the way To dare to go To dare to fly To cross the sea not knowing What is on the other side To seize the day And break away To go against the grain Break the chains And pave the way Don’t listen to what they say Walk on through the rain Never listen to fools Set your own rules
