Spiraling in shadows down Searching for your prey Spiders of deception weave The web in which you play Sadness reaching to other minds Cracked perception shall soon unwind Insanity is all you know Drowning in the poison of your lies to yourself Can you tell me mother Tell me where this road you walk unwinds Tell me all the answers spoken by the wicked Mouths of madness The mouths of madness Insanity is taking hold Poisoning your brain Voices whisper thoughts untrue The songs of the insane Sadness reaching to other minds Cracked perception shall soon unwind Delusional reality Seeing life through cyber optic eyes You live through Can you tell me mother Tell me where this road you walk unwinds Tell me all the answers spoken by the wicked Mouths of madness The mouths of madness Oh yeah The mouths of madness Oh yeah The mouths of madness The frozen images you're living through The lives you've chained within your mind, yeah The changeless smiles that you said you knew Controlling all the ties that bind, yeah The mouths of madness Oh yeah The mouths of madness Oh yeah The mouths of madness Oh yeah The mouths of madness Oh yeah
Thunder breaks the silent ground, lightning cracks the sky Children clutching mother's hands as fathers prepare to die Nobody knows the reasons, nobody seems to care Echo of boots on the frozen ground Death on the move everywhere Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide From those marching dogs of war Oh yeah Marching dogs of war Oh yeah Doors are standing splintered Walls set burning down Mindless beasts that roam the land The hatred machine turning round They never question the reasons They never question who dies Dogs on the move through the frozen night Blood in their merciless eyes Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide Nowhere to run to, nowhere to hide From those marching dogs of war Oh yeah Marching dogs of war Oh yeah Marching dogs of war Nowhere to hide From those marching dogs of war Nowhere to run From those marching dogs of war Oh yeah Marching dogs of war Oh yeah Marching dogs of war Nowhere to hide From those marching dogs of war Nowhere to run From those marching dogs of war

Searching in darkness through the circles of time Folding dimensions part his way Lurking in shadows as he silently waits To open the door unto his day He hears the children of the future Calling Satan's son Singing songs of his return Say, Rise Silent One Rise Silent One Cosmic destroyer swallowing dreams Black wings shall shadow out the day Eyes with no mercy from this blackest abyss Ravenous beast watches his prey He hears the children of the future Calling Satan's son Singing songs of his return Say, Rise Silent One Rise Silent One Rise Silent One Rise Silent One Black drums of relentless stride Call him from beyond Voices echo on the sea Sing songs of devil's dawn He who's lived ten million lives Shall shadow out the sun Slipping past all space and time Rise, rise Silent One Rise Silent One Rise Silent One Rise Silent One Rise Silent One...
High above the earth I find my way Running from tomorrow's yesterdays Drinking all the sadness from my head Soaring through the darkness like the dead Nomad, Nomad Chase the sun again Nomad, will this ever end? Falling from the sky we touch the sand Strangers to a new and stranger land Nameless faces move across my eyes A single story told a thousand times Nomad, Nomad Chase the sun again Nomad, will this ever end? Somewhere out on the horizon There's a part of me that's free Moving far beyond the silence Only gods and monsters know the nomad's dream Moving in the shadows like a ghost within a dream Pushing through the madness in my mind Feet that move without me like a puppet on a string Longing for a place I left behind God I know I can't get free The nomad's me, oh yeah God I know I can't get free The nomad's me, oh yeah The nomad's me, oh yeah Ragged winged and faded engines burn Home to love and laughter I return Hours soon turn to days that never end The restless nomad dreams his dream again Nomad, Nomad Chase the sun again Nomad, will this ever end? Nomad, chase the sun again Nomad, will this ever end?

I reach for your hand as I'm swallowed by tides of illusion I've become cosmic, I slip through the eye of my soul I am reborn of this world as a child of the future Visions of beauty and love, I transcend what is known Falling through astral seas To places unreal Flying in plasmic skies On mountains of steel Mountains of steel Mountains of steel You smile in my eyes as we pass through the portals of starlight Crystalline walkways that lead us to rivers unreal I am transformed, I return to the womb of creation Conscious is fading, I become one with all time Falling through astral seas To places unreal Flying in plasmic skies On mountains of steel Mountains of steel Mountains of steel I know, yes I know All these feelings deep inside I know, yes I know All these feelings I can hide The life that I've lived in this world Is passing through control Revealing the child that was once Slipping from my soul I try to get back to the truth That once was so easy to find The laughter and love That once was mine Mountains of steel... On mountains of steel...

People may come and people go The way that they have before Woman you always held the line A hand inside the door Taking the joy inside my friends And all that they have to give But when it all comes to darkest times You'd show me just how to live I wanna thank you for myself And what you've done my way I wanna thank you for myself And everything today Oh my way, oh today, oh my way A child of social graces not A man up against the wall You'd give to me everything you got And then you'd give it all Finding the love inside myself I'd try as I make my way Putting my fear upon the shelf I'd try just to do what you say I wanna thank you for myself And what you've done my way I wanna thank you for myself And everything today Oh my way, oh today, oh my way Looking to find the truth inside I try to make my way Slipping into the darkest times you always help me find a way Trying to find the things inside you always said I'd be Circles inside of spiraled lives, a ship that's lost without a sea And in the end of the day, we're leaving it all behind All we are slips away And in the end of the day, we're leaving it all behind All we are slips away We're leaving it all behind We're leaving it all behind We're leaving it all behind We're leaving it all behind We're leaving it all behind People they come living their day But in the end we all just burn away Burn away, we're leaving it all behind Oh yeah We're leaving it all behind

I was born into this world on the seventh day of June No sunshine broke the sky as I arrived My father was a rector with a hard and heavy hand My mother was thirteen and not his wife She gave me to the sisters on the farthest edge of town No one would be the wise or see my face I became a man raised up by cemetery wolves We earned our keep by digging beggar's graves I guess that's just the way they showed me The loving hand of God Loving hand of God When fifteen years had passed they put me out upon the stones To make my way with gypsies and with thieves A kindly hearted cropper took me on to till his land I'd work until my fingers they did bleed His daughter was a deaf and mute with kind and loving eyes The color of the bluest summer sky A love grew strong between us and I asked to take her hand But the father said he'd sooner see her die I guess that's just the way he showed me The loving hand of God Loving hand of God And in the spring we stole away to find a life anew With pennies and our bags to make our way We found work with the magistrate tending to his land And happiness was born again each day And in the fall I married her and summer brought a child In which there was no sign of me at all And when I said that son of mine did have her father's eyes She wept and said that he had come to call I guess that's just the way he showed me The loving hand of God Loving hand of God

Breaking through the stratosphere Into the realm of god Sound escaping vision As he's killing nature's law He was set upon this world A victim of his pain Fugitive from space and time Escaping from the grave Wizard of war Burning through the gates of heaven's door Exile from the centuries A world which he was born Wizard of war Interstellar overlord Who once was just a man Transformed by wicked hatred He's an exile from his land Eyes ablaze with malice As he drops in from the sky Crashing down upon us he He's a madman born to die Wizard of war Burning through the gates of heaven's door Exile from the centuries A world which he was born Wizard of war There is no mercy in his eyes He looks at us with black despise Reflecting all the lives he's lived He knows his day will come again Wizard of war Burning through the gates of heaven's door Exile from the centuries Of demons he was born Wizard of war Wizard of war Wizard of war

Hit the ground at a hundred and ten Too fast to see my fall Try to mend all the trouble I've caused But there's no one I can call Confusion in my mind There's a voice but it just ain't clear Hold my breath on the bottom again But I know the end is near, oh no Behind - the silver line is fading See you on the other side See you on the other side Passing time with the devil inside But he just can't keep from crying Ashamed about the pain that I've caused And I just can't wash it away Want to run but there's nowhere to go Cause I'm always right there waiting Only happy when I'm burning it down And the flames are all around, oh no Behind - the silver line is fading See you on the other side See you on the other side See you on the other side Oh yeah See you on the other side Oh woman you're lying with the dead There's nothing but sorrow is what I said My love is the worst you'll ever know This love is a shadow with no home, oh yeah Woman that drowns within my soul My self-destruction familiar endless hole Silent deals we make inside but never said Never said... Laying with the love and truth that I betrayed Oh betrayed Behind - the silver line is fading See you on the other side See you on the other side See you on the other side See you on the other side Oh yeah
