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

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...

Pierrepoint 05:37
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!

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
