HELLION LYRICS

1. Breakdown

[Instrumental]

2. The Black Book

There came a time I'd had all I could take
Life on the edge, my mind about to break
Parents said they'd warned me and my friends said
It's a shame
Doctor said the stress was playing tricks upon my brain

Doctor he told me I had to get away
Climbed a jet liner, bound for the UK
Resting in the countryside, L.A. far behind
Something deep inside was playing tricks in side my mind
Tricks inside my mind

There in the wall it lay throughout the years
Pages of secrets, the source of all their fears
Hidden reasons, flashing eyes, something isn't right
What can you do when you're running out of sight
Hiding from the light

Nightmares waken me at night
Shadows hiding from the night

[Solos: Kenny Andrews / Chet Thompson / Kenny Andrews / Chet Thompson]

Old parchment pages that crack when opened wide
There in the Black Book the magic came alive
Hidden reasons, flashing eyes, something isn't right
What can you do when you're hiding out of sight
Welcoming the night

Shadows waken me at night
See the Black Book come alive

3. Stormrider

Stormrider, high flyer
Live on the edge and hide in the dark
Black liar, cold fire
Wait 'till the night to escape what you are

Stormrider, shadowhider
Taunting the senses and tempting the soul
Trap the madness, jail the sadness
The future has come and the past has been told

Don't you think I'm gonna find a way
To break through all your secrets
I grow strong with power of the fire

Liar
Stormrider
Stormrider
Black Liar

In the morning I'll be calling
Words through the candles, like music on air
Black Liar, face the fire
Tables have turned, it's your time to beware

Don't you think I'm gonna find a way
To break through all your secrets
I grow strong with power of the fire

Liar
Stormrider
Stormrider
Black Liar

[Solos: Ray Schenck / Alan Barlam]

4. Living In Hell

Look into the future, there ain't nothing I can see
Everyone is trapped inside a false reality
Only thinking of yourself is leading you nowhere
Do you call that free?
Everyone around is falling down on me

Sick minds always winning at the game
I make my own rules and take the blame
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell

Bills are stacked up two feet high
The landlord's on the phone
Got no transportation, no place to go
Something's going wrong
I don't like all that I'm seeing
Nothing I can do
Everything around is falling down on you

Sick minds always win the game
I make my own rules and take the blame
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell
Living in Hell

[Solos: Kenny Andrews / Chet Thompson]

This house is smelling rotten
The sink is turning green
The halls are filled with garbage
There ain't nothing here that's clean
Only thinking of yourself is leading you nowhere
Do you call that free?
Everyone around is falling down on me

Sick minds always win the game
I make my own rules and take the blame
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell
Living, living in Hell

5. The Discovery

[Instrumental]

6. Losing Control

There's a place in your mind
Where the absence of logic makes reason
Can you see by the look in my eyes
That there's something not right
What can you do when the absence of logic means dager
Nobody knows where I go in the heat of the night
Going around in a circle will only lead nowhere
Around in a spiral, around and you're just going down, no, no

Logic: Gone
Reason: Gone
Have I lost my mind?
Anger: Gone
Passion: Gone
Search but you won't find

The moon it was high in the sky and the house it was empty
Alone in my room I escaped with a bottle of wine
Raising my glass to the stars while the music was playing
Dance in a spiral and wait for the coming of time
Going around in a circle will only lead nowhere
Around in a spiral, around and you're just going down, no, no

We are losing control
We are losing control
We are losing control
We are losing control

Down, down, down, down
Will you tie me down?
No, no, no, no
Don't you even try
Victim of society and acting out the role
No, no, no, no, no

[Solo: Ray Schenck]

We are losing control
We are losing control
We are losing control
We are losing control

7. Arrest... Jail... Bail

[Instrumental]

8. Daemon Attack

What can you do when the reasons
All seem to point in your face
The others lay sleeping and quiet
Unaware of the plans I had made
Sometimes you just can't remember
What happened the evening before
You turn to an absolute stranger
You know that you've known him before

Can you see it clear?
Hiding, standing near
Attack

One morning at dawn I awakened
The doctor he stood by the door
The hospital's where I was taken
'Till I could stand it no more

Can you see it clear?
Hiding, standing near
Attack
Attack

Can you feel it?
He's there, waiting just to take you down
You'd best believe it
He's there, waiting just to spin you around

[Solo: Alan Barlam]

What can you do when the reasons
All seem to point in your face
The others lay sleeping and quiet
Unaware of the plans I had made
Sometime I just can't remember
What happened the evening before
You turn to an absolute stranger
You know that you've seen him before

Can you see it clear?
Hiding, standing near
Attack
Attack

9. Conspiracy

[Instrumental]

10. Amnesia

Hell, it is where I live
Life, it is what you give and take
Your mind started to unwind
All that you left behind forgotten after all the pain
Drive you insane, oh forever
Amnesia

Here, I am locked away
Shock taking all my dreams away
My mind's started to unwind
All that you left behind forgotten after all the pain
Drive you insane, oh forever
Amnesia

Hell, it is where I live
Life, it is what you give and take
Your mind started to unwind
All that you left behind forgotten after all the pain
Drive you insane, oh forever
Amnesia
Amnesia

11. The Warning

Running faster than I can
Pieces fit together I can understand
All predictions, time has come
Hiding 'cuz I know that I'm the chosen one

Can you see it clear
Time is coming near

Hear the warning
The time has come, don't you know
Hear the warning
The time has come, don't you know

In the castle I did break
As I crept into the room he hid in wait
Something grows inside my mind
Feeling all the power of an ancient time

Can you feel it clear
There's no need to fear

Hear the warning
The time has come, don't you know
Hear the warning
The time has come, don't you know

You'd better listen to the warning
You'd better hear the words I say
If you know what's good for you
You'd better go, go, go

Hear the warning
The time has come, don't you know
Hear the warning
The time has come, don't you know
Hear the warning
You've got to go

12. The Room Behind The Door

Michael!!

My, my, what have you done with your hair? Looking for the Black Book, eh? You remember, don't you?

D'you think I could forget?

You're nothing but a worthless whore, just a useless bloody worthless whore!

13. The Atonement

I can see it coming clear
Trapped inside four walls as strong as steel
Bound and tied, locked inside
No-one knows the power I can feel

Looking for a cause without a reason
Tragedy is just another word
Looking for a cause without a reason
Tragedy is just a word

Save your tears for the living
They cry out loud
Save your tears for the living
They feel pain

I can see it coming clear
Reasons for a false reality
Trapped inside, no way to hide
From visions that I have come to see

Looking for a cause without a reason
Tragedy is just a word

At the end of the hall there's an old wooden door
The answer's laying there for all to see
I was bound and I was tied
'Cauz I knew what lay insisde
They were waiting for the power to be free

As the words they were said
Felt them real inside my head
They were ancient but they spoke reality
All the visions I could see
Feel it building up in me
Feel the power building
Set the power free

Looking for a cause without a reason
Tragedy is just a word
Looking for a cure without a reason
Tragedy is just....

14. Immigrant Song

[Led Zeppelin cover]

We come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

Hammer of the Gods
Will drive our ships to new lands
To fight the horde, and sing and cry:
"Valhalla I am coming."

On we sweep with, with threshing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.

An' we come from the land of the ice and snow,
From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow.

How soft your fields so green
Can whisper tales of gore,
Of how we calmed the tides of war.
We are your overlo__rds.

On we sweep with threshing oar.
Our only goal will be the western shore.

So now you better stop
And rebuild all your ruins.
For peace and trust can win the day
Despite of all your losing.
