1. Masters Of Destiny

I, I curse the morning star and
I, I curse the moonlit sky

I traced the stars and mapped them all
And to my misery
Each single line up in the sky
pointed back to me
I can't escape my destiny
I can't escape

Like a deer, still as stone, on the road
As headlights approach

No, the things we've said and done
Oh, the things we have become
Oh the things we've said and done
We've said and done
We've said and done

Used to be sure that
It's me who sleeps
But can it be
Somewhere there's a life
That dreams of me

Used to be sure that
I roll the dice
But can it be
Eternity
is playing me

No, the things we've said and done
Oh, the things we have become
Oh the things we've said and done
We've said and done
We've said and done

Hold on
Chance is cruel but there's no one else
Keeping you down
If you don't bow to its will

I am the dreamer
I roll the dice
I'm alive
My hands aren't tied

We are the dreamers
We roll the dice
We're alive
We'll always be
The masters of our destiny

Like a deer
Brick to bone
On the road
Flesh picked on by crows

Oh, the things we have become
Oh, the things we've said and done
We've said and done
Oh, the things we've said and done
Oh, the things we have become
Oh, the things we've said and done
We've said and done

2. Hunter's Moon

Shake the heavens
Cross the waters blackened
All before I lose the thought of you

Many suns and moons ago
One heavy-hearted night
I trusted my heart to the waves
And flung her out of sight
Heavy love sank down the sea
And to the ocean floor
Still you're here
Still I'm yours

You - peril of desire
You - sweetest misery
You - you are on my mind now
Time again, time again

Once upon a heavy night
Under the hunter's moon
And under waters deep my heart
Still skips a beat for you
Heavy love will wash ashore
Carried in by the tide
Because you're here
Because you're mine

Will I endure
If not with you
The midnight sun
The hunter's moon
No days and nights
Of solitude
I'll walk with the reaper
Or with you

3. This Silence Is Mine

This story is mine
To tell
Or keep untold
A diamond shimmering on my tongue

We crumble and sway
And live
In intervals
This headspace by my own design

This silence is mine
Is mine

You've overstayed
Your welcome in my mind
This silence
This Silence is Mine

4. Art Kills

Oh ailing ground beneath my feet
Tell me how deep do I dig
To find the soil untouched by humanity
Every stone or home or tree
Every field that I see
Carefully woven in this tapestry

We are the architects of dreams
We are godforsaken
Every artefact
That will rise
Must collapse

Look what we've started
We've built a house
And wrecked a home
Look what we've started
Art kills the artist

Oh ailing ground beneath my feet
Tell me how deep do I dig
To rest my bones
So you can rest over me

We weave our tapestry
too tight around the Earth
We built a house and wrecked a home
We weave our tapestry
too tight around the Earth
Look what we've started
Art kills the artist

5. Hands Of Gold (Live)

Blood-red and sweet
Mouthful of wine
I savour it
And taste the freedom
On your lips
And heaven knows
I tried
To steer away
Delicious danger
Made me stay

Now I'm closer
Closer to the edge
Closer to experience
all of life and all of death
Oh I'm falling
Closer, closer to the edge
Closer to experience
Into love and out of breath
I am falling

Blood, red and sweet
Spill in excess
Stick to our hands
And in its rush we both shall rest
And pain nor fear
Can break
This bond, our chain
Together for our crimes
We'll pay

Some kill their love when they are young
And some when they are old
Some strangle with the Hands of Lust
Some with Hands of Gold

The kindest use a knife because
The dead so soon grow old
Yet each man kills the thing be loves
By each let this be told

6. Danse Macabre (Live)

Just 'cause it's part of a plan
That doesn't make it right
If I put my life in your hands
It's still unmistakably mine

Dark its wings across a pitch-black-sky:
Death will come for me, but not tonight

Let the earth cover me!
Angelss will call for me!
But in time
Not tonight

I said I'd walk the mile
Not that I'd walk in line
I can not promise I'll smile
But I can promise I'll try

If I ever make another vow
It's to live for what's right here and now

Let the eart cover me!
Angels will call for me!
But in time
Not tonigh

It's the Art of Death
Give me your best
Give me your darkest
It's the Art of the Fall
That comes for each and all
But I'll keep it waiting for me
It's the Art of Death
Give me your best

Give me your best

7. Scarlet (Live)

Like a flower, grows on intentionally towards the sun
I grow towards the one that hurts me most
And like a razor follows upon command
Follows a guiding hand that's made to push the blade

And I know that if I were to save the day
I know it's not my victory
I'll just sit here with my golden smile
And if you were to save the world
You know it's not a day for heroes
You just sit there with your empty eyes
And scarlet heart, and scarlet heart

Like the river, caught in a memory
Do you remember life before you shut the door on me?
And like whenever you want a safe return
I'll be here with open arms to keep you safe from harm

And I know that if you were to save the world
You know it's not a day for heroes
You just sit there with your empty eyes
And if we were to save the day
We know it's not our victory, no
We'll just sit here with our golden smiles
And scarlet heart, and scarlet heart

And the curtain falls for all
And the curtain falls for all
And the curtain falls for all
And the curtain falls for all
And the curtain falls for all
And the curtain falls for all
And the curtain falls for all

Like a flower, grows on intentionally towards the sun
I grow towards the one that hurts me most

8. Your Body Is A Battleground (Live)

Any infection (Imperfection)
Any affliction (Imperfection)
Each imperfection (Don't you settle)
Spread the addiction (Take some action)

Any disorder (Imperfection)
Bi or tri polar (Imperfection)
For your protection (Don't you settle)
Just an injection (Take some action)

One bitter pill hard to take
And one more each day just to feel the same
Kill the pain
Kill the pain

Any disroder?
No concentration
Too hard to handle?
No hesitation
For your protection
Just an injection
We'll write you a letter
The younger the better

One for your heart
For your head
One for every monster
Under your bed
Kill the pain

Your body is a battleground
And chemicals are scattered round
Your body is a battleground
But don't think you can do without

Your body is an industry
Your pain nothing but gain to me
Your body is an industry
You can't break free
You can't break free
No

Your body is a battleground
And chemicals are scattered round
Your body is a battleground
But don't think you can do without

Your body is an industry
Your pain nothing but gain to me
Your body is an industry
You can't break free
You can't break free
No

Any disorder
For your protection
Spread the addiction

9. Nothing Left (Live)

Nothing left to make you feel high
Nothing left to turn you on
Laughing in your childish disguise
you rule the night

Follow me back home
‘Cause the night is young
and I’m tired of being alone
Follow me back home
Give me just one more
to send shivers
to the bone

Nothing left, the magic is gone
pallor face in morning light
Someone, close the curtains
oh how it hurts your eyes

Follow me back home
‘Cause the night is young
and I’m tired of being alone
Follow me back home
Give me just one more
to bring shivers
to the bone

Nothing left
it’s time to leave
Can you make it on your own?
Nothing left
it’s time to breathe
Can you follow me back home?

Nothing left to make you feel high
Nothing left to turn you on
dwelling in your dreams every day
disturbs your nights

Nothing left
it’s time to leave
Can you make it on your own?
Nothing left
it’s time to breathe
Can you follow me back home?

Nothing left
it’s time to leave
Nothing left
it’s time to leave
Follow me back home

10. Control The Storm (Live)

I can feel it grow
Starting like a little storm
Itching in my toes
but its will to take over
ain't quite that small
I can feel it grow
I can hear it moan
I can hear its bitter cries
In my veins it crawls
underneath my tongue it hides
I'm in control

An error in my genesis
the reason why I started this
Where did we go wrong?

Don't you know
in the end you're no stronger of hand
You are no stronger of heart
Don't you know
in the end, we'll be tragically torn apart
If we can't control the storm

Does it get to you?
Fury in your fingertips
Does it get you too?
Turning hands to angry fists
In rageful bliss
Oh does it get to you?
Crying all your lullabies
Do you lick your wounds
wondering how we could try to stop this useless fight

An error in my genesis
the reason why I started this
Where did we go wrong?

Don't you know
in the end you're no stronger of hand
You are no stronger of heart
Don't you know
in the end, we'll be tragically torn apart
If we can't control the storm

Control the storm

An error in my genesis
the reason why I started this
Where did we go wrong?

Don't you know
in the end you're no stronger of hand
You are no stronger of heart
Don't you know
in the end, we'll be tragically torn apart

Don't you know
in the end you're no stronger of hand
You are no stronger of heart
Don't you know
in the end, we'll be tragically torn apart
If we can't control the storm

11. Sing To Me (Live)

Happy tears fade fast
Sad tears tend to last
You've got your blood-stained heart
In your nicotine-stained hands
And your twenty-nine years
Did not help you pass
Oh, the roadkill, cheap thrill
Obstacle filled path

White lies, black dress
Brightest of darkness
You close your tearstained eyes
To your sliver lined madness
After twenty-nine years
You might want to confess
That we have made
A fucked-up place
That I can not erase

Sing to me

White lies, black heart
Tearing us apart
You breathe the frost-filled air
From my lungs to your lungs
After twenty-nine years
How much more to come?
Now we have made
A fucked-up place
That I can not erase

Sing to me

Happy tears fade fast
Sad tears tend to last
You've got a sad, sad song
And it's stuck in your aching head
And your twenty-nine years
Did not teach you that
Changing melodies
Will change your destiny at last
Now, we have made
A fucked-up place
We're trying to erase
Erase

12. Not Enough (Live)

Judgement is easy
You pick a side and a comfortable lie
Heavy the burden
when every victim is self-defined

try to understand it's harder to apologize
when all committed crimes
they're just in our minds

How hard I try
it's not enough
To clear my mind
it's not enough
I'm the jury, I'm the judge
and I committed all the crimes
How hard I try
It's not enough

I walked away, and left you bleeding
as I kicked the mud off my feet
I lay on the ground and watched you leaving
a heart fights for every beat

try to understand it's harder to apologize
when all committed crimes
they're just in our minds

How hard I try
it's not enough
To clear my mind
it's not enough
I'm the jury, I'm the judge
and I committed all the crimes
How hard I try
It's not enough

13. Scandal (Live)

[originally by Queen]

Scandal - Now you've left me all the world's gonna know
Scandal - They're gonna turn our lives into a freak show

They'll see the heart-ache, they'll see our love break
They'll hear me pleading, I'll say for God's sake
Over and over and over again,

Scandal - now you've left me there's no healing the wounds
Scandal - And all the world can make us out to be fools

Here come the bad news, open the floodgates
They'll leave us bleeding, we say you cheapskates
Over and over and over again

So let them know when they stare, it's just a private affair
They'll have us hung in the air and tell me what do they care
It's only a life to be twisted and broken

They'll see the heart-ache, they'll see our love break
They'll hear me pleading, I'll say for God's sake,
Over and over and over and over again,

Scandal, yes you're breaking my heart again
Scandal

Today the headlines, tomorrow hard times
And no-one really knows the truth from the lies
And in the end the story deeper must hide
Deeper and deeper and deeper inside

14. The Gathering (Live)

The song that angels sing
The spell that calls, The Gathering
The magic that might bring,
Eternal life, The Gathering

I see a world in anger
I see a world in pain
Each day a different story
But still the message is the same

Hard news I set beside me
Sweet dreams is what I need
What daylight wants to show me
At night, appears to be insane

May I ask you in?
Shall I...
Shall I persuade you?

The song that angels sing
The spell that calls, The Gathering
The magic that might bring,
Eternal life, The Gathering

My cards, the ones to choose from
The role they play tonight
Which ones embrace the loved ones?
Which ones will summon for a fight

Show me your precious darling
And I will crush them all
Wave with your blooded sword and
I'll kiss to show I'm not afraid

May I ask you in?
Shall I...
Shall I persuade you?

The song that angels sing
The spell that calls, The Gathering
The magic that might bring,
Eternal life, The Gathering
