No she's in love I, yeah yeah she's in love I know she's in love Oh yeah she's in love 7.Hounds Written by Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill Sun sets on the moor The cries of the hounds live forevermore Stalking the night They roam the countryside till morning's light Do you hear the hounds they call Scan the dark eyes aglow Through the bitter rain and cold They hunt you down Hunt you down They run wild and free Across the fields and valleys of their native land Nature's beasts deranged Beyond belief no one understands Do you hear the hounds they call Scan the dark eyes aglow Through the bitter rain and cold They hunt you down Hunt you down Can you see them in the night They've got you in their sight Can you hear the hounds they call Scan the dark eyes aglow Through the bitter rain and cold They hunt you down Hunt you down 8.The Unholy Written by Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill Oh yeah In distant ages long ago Before the birth of Christ Lived a race trapped in soul Terror on the rise United beyond the storm They ruled the astral plane No one could stop them They wouldn't fall In a while they would soon reign A step beyond the grave Visions so insane They opened the gates of Hell Calling, Calling Unholy light is calling Faster, faster Prelude for disaster Get straight But no Here's your prize Oh yeah They're unholy Raging spirits kept from the light Enslaved in worlds of doom Marching armies to the darker side The devil's black platoon Torches raised no mercy Victory was theirs Such was life In the unholy years Step beyond the grave A vision so insane They opened the gates of Hell Calling, Calling The lonely night is calling Faster, faster Prelude for disaster Get straight But no Here's your prize Oh yeah The unholy Oh yeah They're unholy They're unholy No Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy Unholy 9.Mentally Yours Written by Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill Timmy went out to play With the friends he made Why did they send him away He drove his mommy mad His daddy ran They didn't understand Now he gazes his cold nights through Reliving all the things he would do If only he had another chance If that was all he had His tension life He beats the wife Douse the cat with gasoline Gotta try The other side He just has to get away That's when it all began Timmy lost his mind Was just a matter of time Before he went crazy Mentally yours I am mentally yours Mentally yours I am mentally yours Mentally yours I am mentally yours Mentally yours I am mentally yours Running wild Cause that's his style Can't be held by any cage Crossed the line The final time Tonight he takes his stage That's when it all began Timmy lost his mind No one cried When Timmy died Mentally yours I am mentally yours Mentally yours I am mentally yours Mentally yours I am mentally yours Mentally yours I am mentally yours Mentally yours I am mentally yours Mentally yours I am mentally yours Mentally yours I am mentally yours Mentally yours I am mentally yours Mentally yours Mentally yours Mentally yours Mentally Mentally Mentally Yours 10.Summer's Rain Written by Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill Standing alone in a dream Where nothing is real But oh how real it feels There were times I lost my way I was alone, lost in a haze Where are you now I'll find you somehow And do I stand alone Like a fool out in the rain Hanging on somehow To an ancient vow Where there's nothing left to gain And do you know How it feels inside To be all alone A fool and his pride Scars are the wounds that we show Time only heals When you're letting go Many night I'd lay awake Tossing and turning till daybreak Where are you now I'll find you somehow And do I stand alone Like a fool out in the rain Hanging on somehow To an ancient vow Where there's nothing left to gain And do you know How it feels inside To be all alone A fool and his pride In a summer's rain In a summer's rain In a summer's rain In a summer's rain Sometimes you got to believe Beyond yesterday I'm gonna find my way In the summer's rain In a summer's rain In a summer's rain In a summer's rain I'm gonna find a way Run away Far away 11.Thorazine Shuffle Written by Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill Thinking about yesterday How my life use to be Now I'm locked inside this place I'm a schizophrenic case All the faces I now see Never show a sign of glee Every night we start to bustle It's time to do the Thorazine shuffle It's the Thorazine shuffle Everyday half past four They push my food through the door Every night right at eight They put me back into my straight All the paintings I have made They look kind of strange Every night we start to hustle It's time to do the Thorazine shuffle It's the Thorazine shuffle I'm getting anxious I want it now Oh yeah 12a.All That I Bleed Written by Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill Someone Got themselves a letter In the mail the other day It's already worn and tattered And I guess It gives away All the things we keep inside All the things that really matter The face puts on it's best disguise And all is well Until the heart Betrays She knows As she reads her letter That things were bound to stray Winds blow She pulls her coat tighter And the letter flies away With all the things she keeps inside All the things that really matter The face puts on it's best disguise And all is well Until the heart betrays Lord bring on the night Wrap it all around me Let it hold me tight Soak up all that I bleed Lord bring on the night Wrap it all around me Let it hold me tight Soak up all that I bleed And I'll fly away Yeah I'll fly away Yeah I'll fly away Watch me 12b.Hounds Written by Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill Sun sets on the moor The cries of the hounds live forevermore Stalking the night They roam the countryside till morning's light Do you hear the hounds they call Scan the dark eyes aglow Through the bitter rain and cold They hunt you down Hunt you down They run wild and free Across the fields and valleys of their native land Nature's beasts deranged Beyond belief no one understands Do you hear the hounds they call Scan the dark eyes aglow Through the bitter rain and cold They hunt you down Hunt you down Can you see them in the night They've got you in their sight Can you hear the hounds they call Scan the dark eyes aglow Through the bitter rain and cold They hunt you down Hunt you down 13b.When The Crowds Are Gone Written by Jon Oliva, Criss Oliva, Paul O'Neill I don't know where the years have gone Memories can only last so long Like faded photographs, forgotten songs And the things I never knew When the skin is thin, the heart shows through Please believe me what I tell you is true Where's the lights, turn 'em on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story's over when the crowds have gone All my friends have been crucified Made life a long suicide true Guess we never figured out the rules But I'm still alive, my fingers feel Gonna play on till the final reel's through And read the credits from a different view Where's the lights, turn 'em on again One more night to believe and then Another note for my requiem A memory to carry on The story's over when the crowds have gone When the crowds are gone When the crowds are gone And I'm all alone Playing the saddest song Now that the lights are gone Turn them on again One more time for me my friend Turn 'em on again I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time Till time wasted me Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay 'Cause the persons I am Are the parts that I play So I plot and I plan Hope and I scheme To the lure of a night Filled with unfinished dreams I'm holding on tight To a world gone astray As they charge me for years I can no longer pay Turn 'em on again (repeat) I never wanted to know Never wanted to see I wasted my time Till time wasted me I Never wanted to go Always wanted to stay 'Cause the persons I am Are the parts that I play The parts I play And the light Turn then off my friend And the ghosts Well just let them in Cause in the dark It's easier to see przesłane przez: Guciomir
