Winner / Loser

Red skies rage their angry cry upon the battle plains. Soldiers march into history for a cause unexplained. Yet in every heart, in every man, there is a need to win. When one dabbles in war games, who's to say what is sin ? Fields of valor and victory. White crosses that bear no name. Each one gave their life to history. Fields of valor and victory. White crosses that bear no name. Each one gave his life for a nameless cross. Skies bleed pain upon us all as the night comes falling down. Cries of victory cannot be heard when you're six feet underground. Yet they feel they understand the paths that they have made. Our children can now run free - price of liberty is paid. Turn back the hands of time so I may know their names. And place each name upon a stone, to never fade away. Fields of valor and victory. White crosses that bear no name. Each one gave their life to history. Fields of valor and victory. A young boy in an old man's game. Each one gave his life for a nameless cross.

Through empty words and promises the madman speaks. His lies go forth as law unto those who believe. Under dark commands he leads the way to a brighter day. Yet that day will never come. His day will come Say the word and i will follow Speak the truth i will believe Cast not your shadow on my eyes Open minds are led astray With the hope for a brighter day Cast not your shadow on my heart A promise made a promise kept Remove the lie there's nothing left Cast not your shadow of a promise. Generals bow before him while the people damn his name Madman, god, or just a fool ? Using words of victory, justice, and unity. To him these are lies - such an unfortunate surprise. With just one word a nation is moved and justifies his power. The tyrant laughs for in his mind he is supreme. Yet as the sun sets slowly in my heart a nation is broken. And the youth feel the pain. The youth will rise against ! Too late for words to turn back the hands of time. Yet deeds take place of sorrow and change it's course in line. Dressed in robes of honor, blindly gaining our trust. Soon his robes will be stained with tyranny and blood.

There are powers in this world People seem to be in control of it all Spreading madness like disease Damping, the flames of freedoms call You can't stop what's inevitable A thirst for power is a deadly game Crushing whatever gets, in their way They're using you they're using me Contracts and principles All play a part in the winner's game Roll the dice with your life it comes so cheap Oh but we have minds to change the rules Puppet masters in house of gold Plan your future for their own gain Yeah but i'm not gonna play that way Save your moves for another man - not me Winner, loser There's no winners in this game of greed Winner, loser Lust for power is a demon seed Winner, loser The more they win, the more you lose Reach down inside of yourselves You'll see there's a better man deep inside Waiting to be set free Let it out, yeah let it fly There's no limit to the mind Take hold of this wave of magic There's hope for a brighter day Don't let anyone stand in your way Look in his eyes, you'll see a stranger there One shake from his hand will lead you to despair The taker, lifebreader is his middle name So don't play his game !

As the sun sets low in an eastern sky As the wall's chipped away from the other side Homeless are clothed and the hungry fed As the humble word freedom is blodly said With our eyes fixed to the stars There is no stopping us now Face to face, eye to eye Hand in hand we touch the sky Release those bonds let's break those chains Let your heart fly free again Give me your tired and your huddled masses Hungry souls needing to breath free Chasing a new world at the end of a rainbow Yes you can have it all just talk to me Across the world new paths are beaten Step by step new ideas unfold People standing true for that they believe in A new song is sung, a new bell is tolled.

We see the future stained in entruth Shadowing over the eyes of the youth Dark clouds, that fill the horizon with mire Raining it's sorrow on men Can you feel the sadness of our mother earth ? (alone she cries) No one can save her, it's too late Fools cry with their idle words as the children look on Innocent hearts filled with lasting ideas Notice their world in decay Reaching out with their minds they take the first step (we take it together) Little children with understanding Meek in their helpfull ways they inherit this place Learn from you yesterdays, never say it's too late Together, we save tomorrow Paradise is in the eyes, eyes of the young The hands of a child can change history (we change it together) Destiny is in the eyes, eyes of the young. Drinking from streams that are poisoned with waste You can tell by the taste Filling rivers with death and their pockets with greed (a demon seed) Payoffs are healthy and no word is said Daddy gets rich and no one asks why his children cry We see the future stained in untruth Yet there is hope in the eyes of our youth The deeds of the young are steadfast and true Save our mother earth If you turn your hand she will turn on you Give of yourself and you get in return If nothing else you must learn to yourself hold true It begins with you !

With the rising of the sun, a new day has begun A new way for man to live Hand in hand we walk the mile, day by day Knowing all the while Time will come and with it peace With juse one voice we can make a change Bond together and rearrange As one and one an all... Let's pull the curtain down and break the walls between us Tonight excitement rages on Nothing can stop this wave, riding on to glory Nations will sing a different song We are one with a purpose Our goals are all the same To be one and all Bind our hearts together We'll find a better way We are on and all We are a picture of glory, our colors bright and true On an artist's palette this world And as a brush stroke blends us all together Another masterpiece unfolds Light up your lights and hold them high Each one a flame for freedom's sake Burning on as far as the eye can see With just one voice, we can make a change We'll bond together and rearrange As one and one and all

On a dark and foggy night the moon hands high in the sky. Quiet streets leave footsteps echoing on in my mind Something inside of me rages out for release in my soel Again the full moon tolls. Try to run, try to hide From the light of the moon And its curse it holds on me With this mark i now bear Since the day of my birth It changes me - you don't want to see. Small price to pay for release of my soul - Small price indeed Dagger of silver plunged in my head tis my solemn release. I suddenly need to feast I feel a change begin of which i have no control. That cursed full moonlight tearing into my soul. Why was i born with a mark - transforms me into a beas. I suddenly need to feast Look away, turn and run as fast as you can. Yours might be the next life gone Small price to pay for release of my soul - Small price indeed Shade of red in my eye, there's no turning back. And now like a beast i attack Small price to pay for release of my soul - Small price indeed Bullet of silver plunged in my heart 'tis my solemn release - Seems such a small price to pay. You hold the key to releasing this spell. Silver dagger in hand you strike the bell. With a shattering scream i bid you farewell.... As this mark fades away along with my life. I can't help feeling free again Now released from this bond the vexed me so. Thought i am gone. I am whole Mark my words. I'll live on, wild an free. Now that the beast is unchained from me.

What is real ? What is a dream ? Are dreams and reality one and the same ? No more roles for me to play. The curtain falls and darkness takes me away. In a cell i scream all through the night. No one hears my cries. Held prisoner of my own mind. Too blind to see begind own eyes. Ride the mind's eye. Come balance on the edge of reality. Ride the nightmare. Come open the doors of insanity. Puppets on a string, life is but a dream. Magic in the air, feel it everywhere. What am i to care ? Take a ride with me, come along you'll see. Fantasy is real close your eyes and feel. That is if you darel Anything you want, everything you need. You can have it all, but beware the fall Back into reality. When the pieces start to fall. Your whole world crumbles away. This time it's gone too far. Unreal thoughts you believe are taking you. Taking you away. In this world of darkness, forever floating on and on. Dreams i experience too strong to control. Lead me on a journey of no return.
