DEMON LYRICS

1. Full Moon

[Instrumental]

2. Night of the Demon

There's a scream in the night
There's death on the wind
And a heartbeat that's pounding like rain
There's a flash in the sky
A cry of a hound
As if someone is wailing the dead

And the nightmare begins as the Devil rides out
From the heat through the gates of Hell
And there's no escape from the curse of the damned
You better beware

Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high

Better lock up your doors
And get off the streets
If you fear for the reaper of souls
For they say when he rides he never returns
'Til he's paid back the debt that he's owed

So beware of the night
As the darkness descends the terror's about to unfold
And pray that your life will be spared of the fate
You better beware

Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high

And the nightmare begins as the Devil rides out
From the heat through the gates of Hell
And there's no escape from the curse of the damned
You better beware

Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high
Don't you know it's the night of the demon
When spirits run high

3. Into the Nightmare

Don't close your eyes they'll never wake you
You're into the nightmare
Beware the dreaded sleep don't let it take you
For this is the nightmare

Your mind begins to drift away
You try to fight but now you know it's too late
The power's to great
Your losing control they've taken your soul

You're into the nightmare
This nightmare may take your life tonight
You're into the nightmare
This nightmare may take your life tonight

Spirits on the wall they're growing taller
You're into the nightmare
The madcap voice that moans for you to follow
Into the nightmare

Run for your life no place to go
The naked truth is now on show to us all
You've taken a fall
The phantoms of night your too weak to fight

You're into the nightmare
This nightmare may take your life tonight
You're into the nightmare
This nightmare may take your life tonight

Out of the dead of night they came into the nightmare
Out of the dead of night they came into the nightmare
Out of the dead of night they came into the nightmare
Out of the dead of night they came into the nightmare

Your mind begins to drift away
You try to fight but now you know it's too late
The power's to great
Your losing control they've taken your soul

You're into the nightmare
This nightmare may take your life tonight
You're into the nightmare
This nightmare may take your life tonight

4. Father of Time

In the beginning he gave us the word
But a voice in the wilderness
Can never be heard
So he called for a father of time
Called on the father of time

I guess you've all heard of me
I count the cost
I was there at Calvary
When he died on that cross
I'm the father of time
I'm your father of time

And the world needs me now
Like never before
And the world needs me now
Like never before

I make the predictions
I am your fate
But when you're running with progress
You hear me too late
I'm the father of time
Yes I'm your father of time

And the world needs me now
Like never before
And the world needs me now
Like never before

Now I see destruction
Flames burnin' high
No need for the word now
No father of time
I'm the father of time
Yes I'm your father of time

And the world needs me now
Like never before
And the world needs me now
Like never before

5. Decisions

It's time to get together
Thank God the night has passed
Through evil and through good things
You know we all must pass

It's time to make decisions
To see a better day
A lesson from this nightmare
We won't be fools again

Looking back on history
See confusion
And on every page the same mistake

And where's the line
Between the darkness and the light?
So short on time to be waiting for a sign
When you're stretched out on that line

It's time to make decisions
To see a better day
A lesson from this nightmare
We won't be fools again

Do we look for new beginnings
In the future or the past?
The end was always there right from the start

So take your time
You ain't going anywhere
Don't be so blind
You'll never cheat your fate
Don't your blow that fuse too late

It's all a mystery
Though I know it to be true
It's still a mystery
And it still comes down to you
You see it's just a point of view

It's time to make decisions
To see a better day
A lesson from this nightmare
We won't be fools again

6. Liar

Something is wrong inside your head
Who you think your foolin'
I don't believe a word that you said
Why'd you tell it to me

Liar your word is make believe
Liar you cheated and deceived
What ya doing oh what ya doing to me

I should have known right from the start
It was playin' with fire
You've given me hell, I've been through it all
Your a two bitten liar

Liar to you it's all the same
Liar to you it's just a game
What ya doing oh what ya doing to me
Your a liar, your a liar, your a liar

Something is wrong inside your head
Who you think your foolin'
I don't believe a word that you said
Why'd you tell it to me

Liar your word is make believe
Liar you cheated and deceived
What ya doing oh what ya doing to me
Your a liar, your a liar, your a liar

7. Big Love

My hair's too long my pants are too tight
I hit the bottle every night
They say I'm lazy good for nothin' at all
But what I've got all make'em holler and ball

Big love, big love
Big love, big love

I take my chances I go all the way
Ignore the warnings don't hear what they say
There ain't a woman can tie me down
Got big love spread it around

Big love, big love
Big love, big love
Got me some big love

Nothin' gonna come between us
Except big love
Nothin' gonna come between us
Except big love

Some like 'em big
Some like 'em small
I like it best when they're givin' it all
Don't pull no punches don't hold back on me
I ain't expensive what I get's for free

Big love, big love
Big love, big love

Nothin' gonna come between us
Except big love
Nothin' gonna come between us
Except big love

Big love, big love
Big love, got me some big love

8. Ride the Wind

Just crashed out of the city
On a brand new pair of wheels
And this world's lookin' so pretty
When your strapped to the mare of steel

We live every night, we live everyday
We live hard and fast there's no other way
When you ride the wind, when you ride the wind
Let's ride the wind

People say we're all bad news
Hell raisers in the heat of the night
But we ain't lookin' for trouble
It's just the highway we're settin' alight
Tonight I think I'm going over the top
Breaking the limits we ain't gonna stop

Till we ride the wind
Let's ride the wind
Ridin', ridin', ridin', the wind
Ridin', ridin', ridin', the wind

Just crashed out of the city
On a brand new pair of wheels
And this world's lookin' so pretty
When your strapped to the mare of steel

We live every night, we live everyday
We live hard and fast there's no other way
When you ride the wind, when you ride the wind
Let's ride the wind

9. Fool to Play the Hard Way

Like a river you keep flowing through me
Feel like I'm drowning
Drowning in your love
Just how long can I survive
With this weight so deep inside

I'm a fool to play it the hard way
I'm a fool to play it the hard way
I'm a fool to play it the hard way

Like a gambler on a losing streak
Played my cards, but you're misdealing me
Guess I should have realised
As I looked in your eyes

I'm a fool to play it the hard way
I'm a fool to play it the hard way
I'm a fool to play it the hard way
I'm a fool to play it the hard way
I'm a fool to play it the hard way

Need your lovin'
I can't let go
I'm a fighter guess
You always knew
I'll take all you can give and more
But you're sure worth living for

I'm a fool to play it the hard way
I'm a fool to play it the hard way
I'm a fool to play it the hard way
I'm a fool to play it the hard way
I'm a fool to play it the hard way

10. One Helluva Night

Living free running wild
Ain't nobody gonna hold us down now, no how
We don't let nothin' stand in our way

So set 'em up for another round
Sleep through the day
And when the darkness
Hits the town
We're gonna have

One helluva night
What a helluva night
One helluva night
What a helluva night

We're caught in a crossfire
Lookin' for a clearing for
A touch down
We're hard ground
Don't know how the hell
We're gonna take the pace
You see we're livin' on an overload
Another lady, another station on the road
We're gonna have

One helluva night
What a helluva night
One helluva night
What a helluva night

Living free running wild
Ain't nobody gonna hold us down now, no how
We don't let nothin' stand in our way

So set 'em up for another round
Sleep through the day
And when the darkness
Hits the town
We're gonna have

One helluva night
What a helluva night
One helluva night
What a helluva night

One helluva night
What a helluva night
One helluva night
What a helluva night

12. On The Road Again

[Bonus Track]

Headed out the jam
Loaded in the van
Back on the road again
Going out of my mind
Tryna make it on time
Back on the road again

Too tired to sleep
Too stoned to eat
Don't think I'll make it tonight
Need another shot
Straight rock 'n' roll
I guess I'm feelin' alright

Just another band on the road
On the road
Just another band on the road
On the road

Another crazy gig
What a way to live
Back on the road again
Drinking with the boys
Making too much noise
Back on the road again

Too tired to sleep
Too stoned to eat
Don't think I'll make it tonight
Need another shot
Straight rock 'n' roll
And I'll be feelin' alright

Just another band on the road
On the road
Back on the road again
Just another band on the road
On the road

Back on the road
Back on the road

Headed out the jam
Loaded in the van
Back on the road again
Going out of my mind
Tryna make it on time
Back on the road again

Too tired to sleep
Too stoned to eat
Don't think I'll make it tonight
Need another shot
Straight rock 'n' roll
And I'll be feelin' alright

Just another band on the road
On the road
Back on the road again
Just another band on the road
On the road
Back on the road again

Just another band on the road
On the road
Oh, yeah
Just another band on the road
On the road
Back on the road again

Just another band on the road
On the road
Oh
Just another band on the road
On the road
Back on the road again

Just another band on the road
On the road
