ETERNAL RYTE LYRICS

1. Tightrope Dancer

Nightfall, do you like the way it feels?
Does your heart begin to rise at sundown?
Does it make you cry to see the heartache?
When the city night takes another life.

Tightrope dancer up so high. Dancing high above it all.

You call it make believe, a fool believes in heaven.
But deep inside you know it's real.
I cry a masquerade, a fool denies a savior.
Your plastic laughter hides the pain.

Tightrope dancer up so high. Dancing high above it all.
I see you high above it all - tightrope dancer.
I see you as you start to fall - tightrope dancer.

[Guitar Solo]

You call this paradise, but will this last forever.
Cause life's a vapor gone in a flash.
Just like a jester in the king's court.
When the hammer falls, tell me will you stand.

Tightrope dancer up so high. Dancing high above it all.
I see you high above it all - tightrope dancer.
I see you as you start to fall - tightrope dancer.
Oh, tightrope dancer as you call - tightrope dancer.
Oh, he will hear you as you fall - tightrope dancer.
I see you high above it all - tightrope dancer.

2. Requiem

Downtown, alleyways.
Where shattered men with broken dreams.
Live and die in torn brick buildings fade to black
Where junkie's cries and pusher's lies.
Echo through the streets tonight.
There where pimps and tricks decide the price of life.

Oh, oh, oh this is my world. Apathy and madness are its requiem.

Stand and shout! For the passing of the world.
Stand and shout! Its dying echoes call.
Stand and shout! For a nation far from God.
Stand and shout! Take a look at the writing on the wall.

Uptown, midnight.
Plastic smiles on mannequins.
Play the circus of the world elite.
Where movie stars and kings and queens.
Display themselves on magazines.
There where pomp and pretense hide the pain.

Oh, oh, oh this is my world. Apathy and madness are its requiem.

Stand and shout! For the passing of the world.
Stand and shout! Its dying echoes call.
Stand and shout! For a nation far from God.
Stand and shout! Take a look at the writing on the wall.

[Guitar Solo]

Sunday suburbs. Great white building stands alone.
Dead asleep like those who dwell inside.
Bless me Lord, now they cry.
While outside, scores of beggars cry.
Empty words, like epitaphs on tombs.

Oh, oh, oh this is my world. Apathy and madness are its requiem.

Stand and shout! For the passing of the world.
Stand and shout! Its dying echoes call.
Stand and shout! For a nation far from God.
Stand and shout! Take a look at the writing on the wall.

3. Someone To Love

Hey little boy playing in the street.
Where truth and terror collide.
Playing games no one else would dare to try.
Your toys are calling out to you.
Now you're the game.
Cold sweat, voices in your head.
You numb it with a lie.

There's got to be a better way.

In someone who loves you - loves you.
And someone who cries for you.

Hey little girl back in from the world.
They broke your heart in two.
All you wanted was someone to love you.
You gave your heart, they took it.
Oh, look what they've done to you.
When all you wanted was someone whose love would be true.

You've got to open up your heart.

To someone who loves you - loves you.
To someone who cries for you.

[Guitar Solo]

Hey Mr. Family man.
Tired of the rat race lie?
As social vices squeeze the life from you.
You look for security, the dollar takes a dive.
Cold sweat, voices in your head.
You numb it with a lie.

There's got to be a better way.

In someone who loves you - loves you.
And someone who cries for you.
Someone who loves you - loves you.
Someone who cries for you.

4. Say Hello

You say hello like so many times before.
I turn and run away from you.
My heart was broke by a love that was unreal.
And as you whisper I can hear you say.

Stay, stay with me I hear you calling out.
But, I can't believe that love is real.
All of my life I've searched for love so true.
Tell me, can I take a chance on you?

You say hello like so many times before.
Say hello, when no one else would hear my cry.
Hello, hello, my heart is crying out.
Say hello, can I take a chance on love?
And say hello to you.

Now, I am here with my heart a mile wide.
Could you love me like you did before.
Now for so long, I've wanted love so true.
And all this time my heart was needing you.

You say hello like so many times before.
Say hello, when no one else would hear my cry.
Hello, hello, my heart is crying out.
Say hello, can I say hello to love?
And say hello to you.

[Guitar Solo]

You say hello like so many times before.
Say hello, when no one else would hear my cry.
Hello, hello, my heart is crying out.
Say hello, can I say hello to love?
Hello, hello, my heart is crying out.
Say hello, don't you see I need you so.
Hello, with love, my heart is crying out.
Say hello, I feel I need you so?

Forever now. You'll stay a friend of mine.
Forever. You'll stay by my side.

5. The Killer

He's like a roaring lion now.
But don't hear his lies, they'll bring you down.
He comes to steal, to kill, destroy your soul.
So stand in God and hold your ground.
Cause he seeks all ways to do you harm, if your in sin.

He's a killer!
He's a killer!

He's like a wolf who stalks the night.
An evil snake with poison lies.
Oh foolish men open up your eyes and see.
Play with sin and you will die.
Cause he seeks those whom he may devour.
Run away.

He's a killer!
He's a killer!

[Guitar Solo]

Satan wants your soul in hell.
But Jesus died so you could live!
You know the score, the choice is your's tonight.
To die in sin or live with Christ.
‘Cause Jesus rose to give you life.
He can save you from the killer, from the killer.

Beware! Beware! Beware!
He's a killer!

6. Surrender

Madness is on the streets again.
Apathy has seized the hearts of men.
Evil are the days upon the land.
Like the ... we seize ...

Gaze on the madness.
Don't close your eyes.

Surrender!
Salvation is at hand to captive hearts.
Surrender!
And don't be afraid ... of the dark.

Time bombs they tick away our days.
Terrorism strikes our deepest fears.
Madmen and tyrants rule the age.
Blindly, how the chosen turn away.

Gaze on the madness.
Don't close your eyes.

Surrender!
Salvation is at hand to captive hearts.
Surrender!
And don't be afraid ... of the dark.

[Guitar Solo]

Shackled to our walls of pride.
Hell bound captives to our own desire.
Cry out, the answers close at hand.
Will you choose the bondage or the lamb?

Gaze on the madness.
Don't close your eyes.

Surrender!
Salvation is at hand to captive hearts.
Surrender!
But don't be afraid ... of the dark.

7. On The Line

The windows of the world, are open wide tonight.
Step through the open door, by heart you know the lines.

Well, there's one thing, you've got to know tonight.
Somebody loves you!

And he paid the price for you. On the line! On the line!
And to show his love was true. On the line! On the line!
So lay your heart down. On the line! On the line!
Give it up to him. On the line!

Vanity, all is vanity, in the world you see.
All, but the price he paid. Just for you, for you and me.

It's time you see.
Somebody cries for you.
Somebody loves you!

And he paid the price for you. On the line! On the line!
To show his love was true. On the line! On the line!
So lay your heart down. On the line! On the line!
Give it up to today. On the line!

[Guitar Solo]

He paid the price for you, on Calvary!
What greater proof of love, could you ever need? (None)

He paid the price, to set you free tonight.
‘Cause Jesus loves you!

And he paid the price for you. On the line! On the line!
To show his love was true. On the line! On the line!
So lay your heart down. On the line! On the line!
Give it up to today. On the line!

8. You And Me

There I was, on my own. Just a lonely boy as I could be.
All alone in the world. No one there to care for me.

Then you called out to me.
"Come and put your trust in me."
Then you set me free.
Now I'm right beside you.
Within your arms in your love.

I'm on my way in your love. You and me!
Together forever, forever free.
There's no turning back from your heart. You and me!
You set me free.

Now I'm here in your arms. And I'm not afraid of what I feel.
Far away from the scars. I know this love is real.

Cause when I cried out to you.
You said to put your trust in me.
Then you set me free.
I'm right beside you.

Within your arms in your love.
I'm on my way in your love. Now it's you and me!
Together forever, forever free.
There's no turning back from your heart. Now it's you and me!
You set me free.

[Guitar Solo]

No scars, no pain.
You took them all away. You and me!
No fear, no shame.
You took it all away. You and me!
When you bid love to me.
I knew this love was real.
You and me! You and me! You and me! You and me!

9. The King

All eyes will see him, coming from the clouds.
The King of King's arriving, with a mighty shout.
And all will stand before him, upon his royal throne.
And every tongue confess he is lord, and every knee will bow.
Hey bride to be, yeah, get ready for your groom.
Your world's so cluttered up, you haven't left him any room.

He's the King!
Worship His Majesty.
The King of Kings!
Then you'll see.
His the King, the King of Kings.

We all live together, here on this old earth.
Don't you even revere him? Who will you serve?
Rebellion will be judged, the King can save your soul.
Don't throw it away boy, you'll reap as you've sown.
Double standard morals, fit your every need.
You're tightrope dancing, straight to hell.
All the while saying your free.

He's the King!
Worship His Majesty.
The King of Kings!
Then you'll see.
His the King, the King of Kings.

[Guitar Solo]

The King of Kings.
Hey bride to be, yeah, get ready for your groom.
Your world's so cluttered up, you haven't left him any room.
Want to whore around, until the wedding day?
But God will not be mocked, don't throw it all away.

He's the King.
The King of Kings, tonight.
Worship His Majesty.
The King, oh.
He's the King.
Worship His Majesty.
The King of Kings, can't you see he's the King of Kings.
The King of Kings. Bow down!

10. No More Lies

You're walking tall you draw your sword out.
You strike your weaker brother down.
Won't shed a tear for the innocent.
Is that what your life's all about?
It's time to open your eyes and see.
The power of life.
The only bloodshed that does us right.
Is the blood of Jesus Christ.

No more! No more lies.
Open your eyes.
No more! No more lies.

Politicians and leaders.
Filled with slander and pride.
For two more votes I will mention Christ.
Hypocrite show him your life.
Kids run amuck in a world of hate.
And you drag them through the fire.
You call your grudges religious wars.
While the body count grows higher.

No more! No more lies.
Open your eyes.
No more! No more lies.

[Guitar Solo]

You say you just don't need a godly form.
You say you're doing all right.
Listen! Righteousness is like filthy rags.
It's trash in Jesus' sight.
It's time you open your eyes and see.
The power of life.
The only blood shed that does us right.
Is the blood of Jesus Christ.

No more! No more lies.
Open your eyes.
No more! No more lies.
No more! No more lies.
Open your eyes.
No more! No more lies.
No more lies, no more, no more, no more.
