IMPELLITTERI LYRICS

1. Beware Of The Devil

Beware of the Devil
The devil looked into my eyes when I was seventeen
He said, "I'll give you all the world if you will follow me."
He dealt the cards, I drew the king
With this he was not pleased
And then he raised the stakes when he said to me: (I am the devil)

"I am the dealer I've come for your soul
Lay down your cards and I'll take control
I will bet your life if you dare to try, my friend,
The luck of the draw tonight"

The dealer tried to conquer me
But I would not concede
Now everything he offered me was tempting to believe
I took a look inside my hand I saw the royalty
And then I called his bluff when he said to me: (I am the devil)

"I am the dealer I've come for your soul
Lay down your cards and I'll take control
I will bet your life if you dare to try, my friend,
The luck of the draw"

"I am the dealer I tell you no lies
Show me your cards and fate will decide
I will bet your life for eternity my friend
The winner takes all tonight"

2. Turn Of The Century

11:59 and it's all going well, the next second could be our last
This is the moment we've all waited for, to see if the world's gonna' pass
The seer and the psychic, the prophets of the doom, are saying the world is at end
It's all coming down to the next breath of life, the fearmongers fate is at hand

Something we've never faced before
Nothing we've ever seen before
Will we all make it through the door that leads to the next century?

Y2K was a heartbeat away, still everyone sounds the alarm
Where did you hide when the digits all turned, did computers and power go down?
The party's alive in California, in Times Square the clocks ticking on
All over the world, spinning out of control, celebration 2000 lives on

Something we've never faced before
Nothing we've ever seen before
But we all made it through the door that leads to the next century

Fear of the unknown causes doubt
Millennium madness runs about
The Turn of the Century rolls on

The end of the world has come and gone
Believe what you will but life goes on
The Turn of the Century lives on

3. Speed Demon

In the California streets at night
You can feel the thunder rising
You can hear the screams of tires in the air
All the racers in their street machines
Gonna' push it to the limit
Let the engine fly, let the power take you there

I need the speed, to touch the sky, it's my religion
I burn the nitro in my veins
I only live so I can fly, it's my addiction
I'm dangerous, I'm not insane

If I live to see another day
I'll be racing for tomorrow
Acceleration keeps me riding on the edge
I can breathe beyond the dangerzone
Where my freedom likes to hide
Gonna' ride the wind 'til I reach the other side

I need the speed, to touch the sky, it's my religion
I burn the nitro in my veins
I only live so I can fly, it's my addiction
I'm dangerous, I'm not insane

I'm a speed demon
I feel the rush, I feel alive
I'm a speed demon
Adrenaline in overdrive

I'm a speed demon
I feel the rush, I feel alive
I'm a speed demon
I'll never drive your 55
I'm a speed demon

4. Wake Me Up

Thinking about the way you say you love me
Thinking about the way you say you care
Hoping that you could somehow spare a moment for me
But you never have a minute to share

Trying so hard to fight against the pressure
Looking' to find the way to make the grade
Banging' my head against my own frustration
There's no one but myself here to blame

I don't know what this life is for
What does it mean?
Does anybody really even care?
It's only a dream

Wake me up, wake me up from this nightmare, (wake me up)
Wake me up, wake me up before I scream

Talking to me like I was just a number
Putting' me down to make me stay in line
I'm trying' to tell you, but you never listen to me
My patience is running out of time

Sick and I'm tired of your manipulation
Waiting for you to tell me what to do
You're slaving away to buy up those possessions you crave
That's why I'm so invisible to you

I don't know what this life is for
What does it mean?
Does anybody really even care?
It's only a dream

Wake me up, wake me up from this nightmare, (wake me up)
Wake me up, wake me up before I scream

6. Slay The Dragon

You've got ashes on the tip of your finger
You've got secrets in the back of your mind
You've been searching for the meaning of evil
'Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life
You've been playing with the words of a liar
And you're tired of the war that you rage
You've been hanging on the edge of the fire
And your pride has got you locked in a cage

You, you got to find the peace of mind that you've been looking' for
You, you got to fight to have the life that you've been searching' for

(You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast)
(You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast)

Running' through the night trying' to feel alright and it's time you want to burn
Carry all the weight of your love and hate, will the tables ever turn?
Running' down the road with a heavy load, trying' to leave the world behind
Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice and it's time to draw the line

When you've reached the end of the road
And you find a hole in your soul
I believe it's time to slay the beast

You're still counting on the change of the seasons
You've been waiting for the passage of time
While your loneliness has taken you hostage
You've been hiding in a circle of lies

You, you got to find the peace of mind that you've been looking' for
You, you got to fight to have the life that you've been searching' for

(You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast)
(You gotta' slay the dragon, You gotta' kill the beast)

Running' through the night trying' to feel alright and this time you want to burn
Carry all the weight of your love and hate, will the tables ever turn?
Running' down the road with a heavy load, trying' to leave the world behind
Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice and it's time to draw the line

When you've reached the end of the road
And you find a hole in your soul
I believe it's time to slay the beast

You've got ashes on the tips of your fingers
You've got secrets in the back of your mind
You've been searching for the meaning of evil
'Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life
You've been playing with the words of a liar
And you're tired of the war that you rage
You've been hanging on the edge of desire
And your pride has got you locked in a cage

You gotta' slay the dragon
You gotta' kill the beast
You gotta' slay the dragon
You gotta' kill the beast

7. Wasted Earth

Born in the Age of Technology in the year of our Lord 2033,
The earth has been poisoned and we had to leave
Now we're all afloat in the stars of the galaxy

Two thousand light years away from the sun
I'm trapped in a room in this space station
Tell me the stories, the legends, and tales
Of generation earth and how we prevailed

Generation, generation earth will prevail

There once was a time when our planet earth was the only place to live
But we destroyed it all by taking all she had to give
And as we ride through the black horizon, I long for the days of old
'Cause I may never set foot on the wasted earth no more
(Wasted earth)

There once was a time when our planet earth was the only place to live
But we destroyed it all by taking all she had to give
And as we ride through the black horizon, I long for the days of old
'Cause I may never set foot on the wasted earth no more
(Wasted earth)
We took from the land all the fuel and power to fly to the other side
We got to find a way to cross the universe again
(Wasted earth)

8. Forever Yours

Take a look at the world today, a lot of love seems to slip away
When the feelings start to fade, they start to run
It's not the way it's supposed to be, the flames of love only set you free
To make the choice that you want to be my only one
Life, they say, it can take it's toll, I'm holding on, I won't let you go
It's only you that can touch my soul, my love

I'm forever yours, I love you now for eternity
I'm forever yours, in time my love you'll see
I'm forever yours, I love you more than I ever did
I'm forever yours, it's always you and me
Forever yours

I remember when I began to see, the love we share it was meant to be
If only you would stand by me we'll beat the odds
Trust in me as I trust in you, you've got my heart and you know it's true
Together we can make it through, no matter what
The promises and the life we share, together we can go anywhere
It's only you that I give my soul, my love

I'm forever yours, I love you now for eternity
I'm forever yours, in time my love you'll see
I'm forever yours, I love you more than I ever did
I'm forever yours, it's always you and me
I'm forever yours, I love you now for eternity
I'm forever yours, together, you and me
Forever yours

10. Fear No Evil

Rich man looking down his nose at you
He's got the good life and you get abused
The Lazarus syndrome is in your face
Sores on your back begging' at the gate

Rich man dies and he goes to hell
Wish he had a dime for the wishing well
Send down Lazarus to cool my tongue
Agony and torment ain't no fun

Hell, yeah! The fire burns, and it's waiting there for you
Hell, yeah! You better learn 'cause there's nothing you can do

I will fear no evil, I will conquer all the demons
I will hear no evil, I will conquer all the beasts

Rich man begging' for another chance
Go tell my brothers avoid this dance
Can't cross the river the gulf is fixed
Misery, suffering, eternal bliss

Hell, yeah! The fire burns and its waiting there for you
Hell, yeah! You better turn 'cause there's nothing you can do

I will fear no evil, I will conquer all the demons
I will hear no evil, I will conquer all the beasts
I will speak no evil, I will conquer all the demons
I will see no evil, I will conquer all the beasts

Fear no evil

I will fear no evil
