DOKKEN LYRICS

1. Breaking The Chains

Sit there thinkin'
In your room
You feel the pressure
You're goin' crazy too
The walls around you
Closin' in
You need a change

Claustophobic
Feelin' scared
You need somebody
But no one seems to care
A one way ticket
A change of pace
You've had enough
Can't take no more

[Chorus 1]
Breaking the chains around you
Nobody else can bind you
Take a good look around you
Now you're breaking the chains

Got this letter
Came today
From my baby
Who left me yesterday
Said she loves
She'll come back
She wants to try

I won't let her
She'll be upset
I know it's better
Than somethin' I'll regret
She's been dishonest
And insincere
I lost my mind
Twenty times a year

[Chorus 2]
Breaking the chains around me
Nobody else can bind me
Take a good look around me
Now I'm breaking the chains

[Solo]

Woke up today
I'm alone
I look around
But baby you were gone
But I don't mind
And I don't worry
I will survive

I'm alone
Now that you're gone
Don't need nobody
To hold or tie me down
I broke the chains
So let me be
I've gotta be free

[Repeat Chorus 2]
[Repeat Chorus 2]

2. Paris Is Burning

This town I'm in can't take no more
Decadance and sin
You were my woman
Why'd you have to be so hard and cold

[Chorus 1]
Paris is burning
Want to see it from afar
Paris is burning
Want to get to where you are

My life's in ruin
The girl I love
She's far away
The distant fire
Brings memories of the love
That I once knew
Where are you now
Been looking all around
And I can't stay
Help me now
I can't stay
Much more before I fade away

[Chorus 2]
Paris is burning
I can see it from afar
Paris is burning
Wanna to where you are

[Solo]

I can't believe
You'd throw it all away
You know you played me for a fool (huh)
I'm leavin' now
This time you know
That I'll be gone for good, yeah

[Chorus 2]
Paris is burning, Paris
Paris is burning
Paris is burning
I can see it from afar
Paris is burning
Paris [fade out]

3. Into The Fire

You weave your spell
Your eyes beckon me
Your lips they speak, lies and misery
I know it's wrong, but I can't turn away
The flames draw near, they're telling me to stay

(Into the fire) I'm falling
(Into the fire) I'm falling
Into the fire

Your love burns bright, and yet the flames are cold
This time I fear, you won't be back no more
When will it end, your love consumes my soul
Into the fire, I'm being tempted once more

(Into the fire) I'm falling
(Into the fire) I'm falling
Into the fire

Take me back whera I came back
Don't wanna see your face no more
You broke my heart, now it's not the same
I'm falling, again
I'm falling, again
Into the FIRE

4. Just Got Lucky

I should'a known better
Should'a seen right thru
Over and over falling in love with you
Wanting you for myself- my first mistake
Finding out the hard way
Was all that I could take

You were just using someone
And I was the one

She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
You're a devil in disguise

Don't wanna hear no lies- no apologies
Imagination gets the best of me
I'm looking everywhere- still I see your face
I'll never forget you- you put me in my place

You were just using someone
And I was the one

She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
I've been hypnotized
She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
You're a devil in disguise

Now that is over and I've seen right through
Not looking back again I'll start anew
Was making love to you such a wasted time
Maybe I love you, still, I'll get you off my mind

You were just using someone
And I was the one

She said "You just got lucky"
I believed your deadly lies
"You just got lucky"
I've been hypnotized
She said "You just got lucky"
I was taken by surprise
"You just got lucky"
You're a devil in disguise

5. Alone Again

I'd like to see you in the morning light
I'd like to feel you when it comes tonight
Now I'm here and I'm all alone
Still I know how it feels
I'm alone again

Tried so hard to make you see
But I couldn't find the words
Now the tears, they fall like rain
I'm alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you
Alone again without you

I said stay, but you turned away
Tried to say that it was me
Now I'm here and I've lost my way
Now I know how it feels
I'm alone again

[repeat CHORUS]

[bridge]
I...
[repeat CHORUS]

6. Tooth And Nail

Desperate living, driving me mad
Writings on the wall
Crushed all our hopes and the dreams we once had
Just to watch them fall

Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail

Last generation, reckless and free
Up against the odds
Thoughts of revenge are going through me
Fate lies in the cards

Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail

[Guitar solo]

Desperate living, trying to see
Breaking all the rules
Only the strong are gonna be free
From a world of fools

Tearing it up in the daytime
Burning it down at night
How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail

How long does it take
To break the spell
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail

Tooth and Nail
Tooth and Nail
Straight to the top
Tooth and Nail

7. The Hunter

Clouds roll by as I look to the sky
And then the feeling comes, it comes on again
You know desire burns like a fire, fire of sin
Oh, will I ever learn
You're the only one I would call my own
But then the shadows fall and I'm gone again

I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again

Care for you, you know that I always will
I know it's hard for you, my taste for the kill
But then it calls to me when the moon rises full in the sky
You know it's not denied
Will I ever find love and peace of mind
On these streets again, will it ever end

I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again

You know desire burns like a fire, fire within
I guess I'll never learn
You're the only one I would call my own
But when the shadows fall, you know I won't be wrong
I'm a hunter
Searching for love
On these lonely streets again
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again

I'm a hunter
Searching for love
I'm the hunter
Searching for the things
That I might never find again.

8. In My Dreams

Toss and turn all night in the sheets
I can't sleep
Night after night don't know what it means
In my dreams

What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away

In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be

Calling your name, but you're turning away
Please don't leave
Running in circles, waiting to see you
In my dreams

What can I say or do
You won't come back, we're through
I've realized too late
That, baby, your love has turned away

In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be

In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you're still by me
Just the way it used to be

In my dreams--it's still the same
Your love is strong, it still remains
In my dreams--you'll always be
In my heart and in my dreams
In my dreams--it's still the same
In my dreams--you're still by me
In my dreams--just the way it used to be
In my dreams--what can I say
In my dreams--You're still by me
And in my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--You'll always be
In my dreams--your love is strong
In my dreams--You're still the same
In my dreams

9. It's Not Love

Told you I had to leave, I had my reasons
I said that it hurt to stay, the way that I'm feelin'

It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take

Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why did you have to hold on
You know it's not love anymore

Gave you your last chance but you didn't believe me
You can't keep me satisfied, the way that you treat me

It's not love
That left you standin'
It's not love
That left you cold
It's not love
Misunderstandin'
Only a mistake
There's nothing left to take

Why, baby, why did you make me let you go
And leave you so lonely
Why, baby, why, stop playing with my heart
I told you

It's not love
Telling you to be this way
It's not love
Sayin' you can never change
It's not love
When I told you
Is he putting you down
Down, down, down

10. Dream Warriors

I lie awake and dread the lonely nights
I'm not alone
I wonder if these heavy eyes
Can face the unknown
When I close my eyes I realize
You'll come my way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together

With the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone

I feel the touch comin' over me
I can't explain
I hear the voices callin' out
Callin' my name
It's the same desire to feel the fire
That's comin' your way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together

With the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
With the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone

Sweet revenge, the bitter end
This time
Break the spell of illusion
Bound together waiting for you

Dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
With the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
With the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors, forever
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors

11. Burning Like A Flame

Never thought our love would last
For so long
Time and time again
I thought that you would be gone
Still we kept love hanging on
I guess it's meant to be
That your heart still belongs to me

And now we've stood the test of time
We survived
I asked for hope and a chance
You gave the key to your heart
You used to say that I'm not sincere
I'm gonna prove that you're wrong
I'm never gonna leave your arms
Should've realized before
Your love's worth waiting for

Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It's out love that's never gonna change
'Cause every time I touch you
You just make me go insane
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning

Our love burning like a flame

Like a fantasy in the dark
You were gone
I couldn't say the words
That you wanted to hear
But baby, now that I see the light
I feel it's burning so bright
So let's stop wasting all this time
Should've seen it all before
Our love's worth waiting for

Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It's out love that's never gonna change
'Cause every time I touch you
You just make me go insane
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning

Our love burning like a flame

Should've seen it all before
Your love's worth waiting for

Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It's out love that's never gonna change
'Cause every time I touch you
You just make me go insane
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Our love burning like a flame
Our love, never gonna change

12. Heaven Sent

There seems no justice
When you fall in lve
It gives you blindness
When you are the one
The one that's hurting
'Cause they got the gun
There seems no justice
When you fall in love

Save me
Dont let me fall
Heaven sent
I heard the call
Stop me
Dont let me go
Touch my heart
Then let me know

Heaven sent
Thought you would set me
Heaven sent
Thought it could never be
Heaven sent
If I had only seen
That you were burning the fire in me

You took passion
Most of my soul
But I will come back baby
Stronger than before
Take my feelings
Leave me in pain
I will forget you
One of these days

Stop me
From feeling this way
Heaven sent
You drive me insane
Hold me
Dont let me go
Touch me now
Then let me know

Heaven sent
Thougth you would set me free
Heaven sent
Thought it could never be
Heaven sent
If I had only seen
That you were burning the fire in me

Passion burned
I felt the fire
Touch my soul
I felt desire
Now I see
Where we went wrong
Am I to blame
I've fallen in love

Passion burned
I felt the fire
Touch my soul
I felt desire
Now I see
Where we went wrong
Heaven sent
But you're not the one

Heaven sent
Thought you would set me free
Heaven sent
Thought it could never be
Passion burned
I felt the fire
Heaven sent but baby you're not the one
Heaven sent
Heaven sent
I felt the fire
Heaven sent
Heaven sent
Heaven sent
Heaven sent but baby you're not the one

13. Mr. Scary

[Instrumental]

14. Walk Away

A faded picture from your heart
Was all you left for me
I'm still waiting, stanging here
To see what I could see

Your love i borrowed just like time
It wasn't mine to keep
But the love we shared
I thought was there
And now you have to leave

Just walk away
There'll be no more tomorrows
Just walk away
You won't be there for me
From far away
I tried to say I'm sorry
But I can't find a way
(To) just walk away

Couldn't see for i was blind
The hurt you hide inside
I didn't mean to break your heart
I wish it had been mine

And as another day unfolds
Don't know what it means
Was it love we had
Or love gone bad
Still the love we need

Just walk away
There'll be no more tomorrows
Just walk away
You won't be there for me
From far away
I tried to say I'm sorry
But I can't find a way
(To) just walk away

I'm still standing, waiting here
Waiting for a sign
I didn't mean to break your heart
I wish it had been mine

Just walk away
There'll be no more tomorrows
Just walk away
You won't be there for me
From far away
I tried to say I'm sorry
But I can't find a way
(To) just walk away

Just walk away
Yeah, walk away
Just walk away...

15. Mirror Mirror

Look inside my eyes
You can see everywhere I've been
You can drag me down, I'll come right back again.

You gotta hold on to every little thing
Every little bag of bones
When the love's gone you shoot from the hip
You make or break it on your own
Love takes your heart away and gives it back in pieces
I look at myself and say Now all I have to say)
(is)'I know who to believe in'

[CHORUS:]
Mirror, mirror on the wall
I'm still here, I survived it all
Mirror, mirror, tell me more.
If that was love then love is war.

I am gonna fight until I win
Another place in time, I might have given in

[CHORUS]

16. Too High To Fly

We sold our sons and we sold our daughters
Pretty soon we'll sell our brothers
We took the gold, but the gold was water
I tried to save the world, but I failed her

She cries the tears that I never left her
I left them all behind
You were sitting in your darkest hour
Summer's gone

We tried to make the world so much better
We send our words in a pretty perfumed letter
You sit alone in your ivory towers
I'm just one person, I don't matter

You tap the needle, and you went to heaven
You left it all behind
Now you're feeling oh so better

[Chorus]

Too high to fly
You should've seen me there (Yeah)
Too high to fly, my baby
But you were almost there

The sun shines down on my face
But you don't feel a thing (no, no, no)
The lines on the street, and the some rises
You looked too long for heaven, now you're blinded, baby

Another morning sun
Another day gone by
The storm's coming
With the pouring rain

[Chorus 2]

The storm comes with the pouring rain (Salvation)
The lines in the street, and the smoke rises
Wanderin' round for forty days, hope you find it

[Chorus 3]
