Careening out of orbit
Hurtling through space
The crew‘s been overtaken
I can see it in their face
But I‘m ready...yes I‘m ready
We‘ve taken on this mission
Observe the human race
But it‘s an awful position
Here at the end of their days
But I‘m ready...yes I‘m ready
Don‘t you hope for pride or glory
But a new day just before the dawn
For even in death you‘ll find my friend
That the flame of life still burns on
And it does...
[solo]
As we traverse the neon city
Walk along the razor‘s edge
Trying to find a single reason
Why we shouldn‘t all be dead
But I‘m ready...yes I‘m ready
Don‘t you hope for pride or glory
But a new day just beyond the dawn
For even in death you‘ll find my friend
That the flame of life still burns on

Burn
06:49
|

The picture‘s all too familiar
Playing the villain again
Pick your poison, the outcome‘s the same
And I‘ll bury another friend
But when I tried to reach you
You were already miles away
How could we see eye to eye
When you‘re looking the other way
In the heat of the night
Does your stomach start to turn
Does it cross your mind...Hey!
Another night of memories
And another night to forget
I can‘t keep sleeping with my enemies
On another unsafe bet
Spent days out in the pouring rain
Just trying to wash it out
But these wounds they won‘t heal
Just as long as the cross has turned South
In the heat of the night
Does your stomach start to turn
Is it better to run...or to see it burn?
I‘d rather see it burn [x2}
I‘d sell my soul on my turn to see it burn
I‘d rather see it burn [x2}
I‘d rather see it burn ooh!
Those times we were high
Disguised as alive
White knuckle all the way down
And now the well has run dry
Though we‘ve all made mistakes
This time it‘s too late
For you‘ve staked your ground
And it‘s there that you will remain
[solo]
I‘d rather see it burn [x2}
I‘d sell my soul on my turn to see it burn
I‘d rather see it burn [x2}
I‘d rather see it burn ooh!
Now looking back it‘s plain to see
That I don‘t owe you any part of me
Learning to live with the growing pains
Ten years or more, it‘s all the same
[solo]
There‘ll be no coming home for you
After all I‘ve done and all you‘ve put me through
And as your insults turn to shouts...Ha!
My burning love for you quickly dies out
[solo]

Mistakes
04:17
|

Like a moth to the flame I feel it calling
It‘s in the back of my mind it won‘t go away
The voices in my head keep getting louder
Draw another line to keep them at bay
And I‘ve made mistakes
That I won‘t stop paying
It‘s a tragedy
And they‘re gonna keep coming
It‘s too late, no time to talk this over
You‘ve chose your own path
Now it‘s time I chose mine
And I‘ve made mistakes
That I won‘t stop paying
Had time to think
But now my mind‘s rushing down the drain
And I had dreams
They just ain‘t worth chasing
Found my fantasy
In a mirror now I can‘t look away
I know it feels right
But you know it‘s wrong
The taste of liquor is bittersweet
And finding solace in a bottle
Hey that ain‘t no way to plant your feet
I‘ve made mistakes
That I won‘t stop making
Had time to think
But now my mind‘s rushing down the drain
I had dreams
They just ain‘t worth chasing
Found my fantasy
In a mirror now I can‘t look away

Circle of Nine
06:18
|

From beyond the depths of time
Across the plains and down the mines
Atop the mountain peaks divine
There stood the Circle of Nine
Once before long ago
The Nine they crafted all we know
Draining power hair like snow
Horn of creation Nine did blow
And from the dark life did spill
Humankind and game to kill
And from the Nine we gained free will
To walk this realm and take our fill
The Nine then parted with the wind
To life‘s meaning we turned within
And thus the truth was lost in sin
Until the Nine return again...

It‘s the flip of a switch
That sends them back in time
As shockwaves carry them to the beyond
And though the eyes are closed
And rigor mortis sets in
They‘ve seen such sights you never would believe
Pierrepoint
Tell me are you scared to die
Pierrepoint
What‘s wating....
Oh it‘s the end of a rope
Where nerves and muscles tighten
Did you hear it in their final dying breath
Or in the sound of a latch
That‘s where the trapdoor opens
And descends to an everlasting death
Pierrepoint
Tell me are you scared to die
Pierrepoint
What‘s waiting on the other side
[solo]
Pierrepoint
Tell me are you scared to die
Pierrepoint
What‘s waiting on the other side
PIERREPOINT!

Friendly Corruption
05:02
|

Up and coming politicians
Bright eyed cubs looking to change the world
Little do they know blood money‘s
Got the stuff to make your insides curl
And if you should fail me now
Dare I say what‘s on the line
Just some friendly corruption
Helps the soldiers to march in time
Now a few years in the game
The young bucks they start to learn the rules
The ones with all the power
They‘re the ones that get to pick and choose
Shaking hands with cold faced killers
The enemy‘s behind their eyes
Casualties are just a number
Now get our there and tell your lies
And if you should fail me now
Dare I say what‘s on the line
Just some friendly corruption
Helps keep the peace in people‘s minds
[solo]
Now Jack‘s a made man himself
There‘s no one dares step out of line
Getting rich off the poor man‘s money
Eats his meals on the government‘s dime
And if you should fail me now
Need I say what‘s on the line
Just some friendly corruption
Keeps the dogs from gnashing at their binds

It‘s three o‘clock in the morning
As we pull into town
And I know the city gets colder
When I‘m not around
But there‘s this urge to wander
And it‘s something that I can‘t fight
Well I need to feel the heat of the desert
Freezing polar nights
That don‘t mean that I don‘t miss you
When I‘m far far away
Just know that there‘s an end to this road
And then I‘m home to stay
This is the song for while I‘m away...
Come out tonight
The show gets out at eleven
Take my hand
We‘re gonna rip this town wide
I‘ve missed you so
Your eyes they shine like diamonds
To see you glow in the pale moonlight
This is the song
For while I‘m away
Three weeks gone
Back in town tonight
Soundcheck‘s done
The crew we feel alright
Spend our dreams
Reaching for the stars
And from the stage
The lights don‘t seem too far
This is the song
For while I‘m away
[solo]
The years roll by
The times they haven‘t changed
The songs the shows
Our love it stays the same
You‘re the reason
That we‘re standing here
And for you
We‘ll stick through the years
