I lift mine eyes towards the heavens And I pray that the light I shall see Lord grant me strength and the wisdom And the will to fulfill my own destiny 'Cause now the rules have changed And it's a different game You never know what's coming 'til it hits you They speak with tainted tongues There's nowhere left for peace of mind And when I go you know I'll really miss you And when I close my eyes I hear the angels sing Beyond tommorrow I have seen so many things And when the race is run, the final day is done I have to know at least I tried It's the end of the world and we're all out of time Over the limit and 'cross the line Live for the moment, there's no turning back To the worlds we've left behind How could we be so blind? Step back, take a moment to catch my breath I have so many things to achieve before my death I will ride the lightning, dance with kings Kiss the sky on dragon's wings Build an empire, save the day In the background the clock still ticks away And when I close my eyes I hear the angels cry Cast off my worldly things I am prepared to die And when the day is done, the final race is run I have to know at least I tried It's the end of the world and we're all out of time Live for the moment, we're over the line Way past the limit, there's no turning back To the days we've left behind And if you had it all to do over again How many changes would you make before the end? Please don't tell me, please don't show me I don't want to know It's the end of the world and we're all out of time Over the limit and 'cross the line Live for the moment, there's no turning back To the things we've left behind Ride the lightning, dance with kings Kiss the sky on dragon's wings Build an empire, save the day In the background the clock still ticks away Please don't tell me, please don't show me I don't want to know

Close my eyes and pray for sleep Perchance to dream of a quiet place of refuge I cannot take it any more, I'm down upon the floor I tremble on my knees and pray in vain Clear my mind in search of peace Beyond the chaos of the day Pushing and pulling and tearing the fabric of my life away As we face tomorrow's world, thunderbolts are being hurled Upon the face of man, was this part of the plan? On the wings of war, are we insane? Pray in vain And as I face my own mortality And the door is open wide, our dreams have all died As the pushing and pulling is tearing the fabric of my mind away Facing tomorrow's world, thunderbolts are being hurled Upon the face of man, was this part of the plan? I tremble on my knees and pray in vain Burn in flames

Oh Lord, why can't you hear my prayer, are you still there? Oh Lord, why don't you heal our pain, I call your name Oh Lord, it's been 2000 years I have befriended Beelzebub, and well I I have his message for you If you pay close attention here I could show you a thing or two But your little minds and uniforms are oh so predictable Soon I will tire of this game And if you don't take your place beside me I will watch you go down in flames Oh Lord, why don't you heal our pain, I call your name Oh Lord, we've shed so many tears There's a promise of Paradise The world we have yet to find It only exists in our mind We have a friend in Beelzebub who could show us a thing or two But your buzz cut brain and uniforms are oh so predictable Just like the apple you chew Oh Lord, why don't you hear my prayer, are you still there? Oh Lord, why can't you feel our pain, I call your name Oh Lord, it's been 2000 years (2000 years) Oh Lord, we've shed so many tears There's a promise of Paradise A place we will never find It only exists in our mind

I believed in you There's time to find your missing lover I believe in time to find our dreams And this old photograph reminds me of you So many memories I hold to be true Shifting sands of time have torn us apart Left a gaping hole in this lover's heart Time will find your missing lover I believe there's time to find our dreams And this old photograph reminds me of you So many memories I hold to be true Shifting sands of time have torn us apart Can't kill the memories in this lover's heart Sweet lover, I cried over you

I will dance for you and take away your pain And in return I ask for nothing This gentle kindness I give to you for free As all my wealth in truth amounts to nothing But I have questions that will put you to the test Without the answers my soul will never rest The Queen of Sheba In perfume and gold She seeks the answers Of wisdom untold I kiss you softly to take away the pain And in return I ask for nothing But still I have these questions that weigh upon my breast And without the answers my soul will never rest The Queen of Sheba In perfume and gold She seeks the answers Of wisdom untold The Queen of Sheba In perfume and gold Has seen the answers As a new world unfolds The Queen of Sheba In perfume and gold Has seen the answers Of wisdom unfold The Queen of Sheba Of riches untold Has seen the answers As a new world unfolds

This track is instrumental.
I hear you crying Out here on my own I wish I could help you 'Cause I know what it is to be alone Another day rolls in to night As another night fades away You would think by now I would have it down It just don't seem to be the way Don't know what's wrong with me I think I'm losing my mind There's a light in the distance It's shining my way From beyond the horizon A million miles away I see it clear as day My face in the mirror All twisted in pain As we stand in the aftermath Things will never ever be the same Don't know what's wrong with me I think I'm losing my mind Can't stop what's happening From taking all of my time There's a light in the distance It's calling my way (my way) Far beyond the horizon A million miles away I'll be there one day And the light in the distance Will show me the way (show me the way) Far beyond the horizon I will be there one day And the light in the distance Is so far away From beyond the horizon A million miles away I see it clear as day The light in the distance So far away A million miles away A million miles away A million miles away There's a light in the distance So far away So far away A million miles away

Questions of faith as we're toe to the line If you believe then you're all out of time Trumpets are calling from angels on high As the world drinks of the wine of Babylon So it was written and so it was told Prophets and demons, the beast takes control Fire and hailstorms rain down from above As the world drinks of the wine of Babylon Of Babylon Hear me Spare me your pain I have no time for this Taste the wine upon my kiss And leave me on my own We all die alone Hear me Leave me on my own We all die alone

Why do you stare, do you think that I care? You've been misled by the thoughts in your head Your words waste and decay Nothing you say reaches my ears anyway You never spoke a word of truth Why do you think I believe what you said? Few of your words ever enter my head I'm tired of hypocrite freaks with tongues in their cheeks Turning their eyes as they speak They make me sick and tired Are you confused to the point in your mind Though you're blind can't you see you're wrong? Won't you refuse to be used, even though you may know I can see you're wrong? Please, please, please open their eyes Please, please, please don't give me lies I've ruled all of the earth Witnessed my birth, cried at the sight of a man And still I don't know who I am Are you confused to the point in your mind Though you're blind can't you see you're wrong? Won't you refuse to be used, even though you may know I can see you're wrong? Please, please, please open their eyes Please, please, please don't give me lies I've seen paupers as kings Puppets on strings dance for the children who stare You must have seen them everywhere Each part was played but the play was not shown Everyone came but they all sat alone The dawn opened the play, breaking the day Causing a silent hooray The dawn will break another day Now that it's done I've begun to see The reason why I'm here
