LEGEND LYRICS

1. The Dark Place

Take away the daylight, take away the sun
Try to work out where you might have been
I can bring the night sky, I can bring the dust
I can show you worlds you have not seen
Come with me to darkness, step into the night
Walk into the sea that has no shore
See me in the corner, playing with your soul
I can make you sleep forever more
In the dark place, in the dark place, in the dark place, in the dark place
It’s above, it’s below, the dark place you just might know
In the dark place, in the dark place
Look into the night sky, can you feel the heat
Sail the sky and touch the burning stars
Take a look around you, all you see is pain
Can you ever take away the scars

2. Red

I sink into the ice cold deep, extinction on my back
And only I know when it’s time
The time I must attack
The salt and cold mean little now,
The life we have to live
The constant noise of depth and dark
The sacrifice we give
The echoes of a distant past
The shadows in your head
The darkness is my friend for now
Just waiting for the red
Christmas Day and here's the red
The time at last is here
The special day, the day of choice,
The price for all your fear
So quick, it comes from dark and deep
There’s nothing more to pay
Just thank your God, you cease to be
On such a special day
****************************
I'm in depth again ... and listening to the pain
Hear the wind outside, the wind that burns the rain
Feel the shadow of your life ... and then embrace the day
But nothing comes, to stop the speed, your life just melts away
There's nothing more to say ... On such a special day
Vaporise the time, A treasure to adore
Cover you in ashes, a moment never more
Shadows in the fallout, death within the sky
But nothing comes, no nothing comes to ever tell you why
There's nothing more to say... On such a special day
I'm still in the deep, I guess the days are few
The job is done, I know the red was true
We tried to smile with severed lips, messages with pain
We never learned and here we are, to live the red again
There's nothing more to say .... On such a special day

3. Too Late To Be A Hero

Look into the mirror what do you see
Just a tired young man, waiting to be free
Fighting in a land of strangers, never to win
Paying the price for another nation's sin
Too Late to be a Hero
Too Late to be a Hero
Look into the ether, who will you phone
A sad little girl who just wants you to come home
Scared of knowing, the chances that are so bleak
Paying the price, for nations who are so weak
Too late to be a hero
Too late to be a hero

4. Halls Of The Dead

Where is the heart that beat so long
Where is the voice that sang so strong
And the voice still echoes in my aching head
And it chants within the halls of the dead
Where are the eyes that saw the light
Where is the soul that stalked the night
And the soul still haunts the aisles of my mind
And it craves the life of those it left behind
And the voice torments the peace within my head
As the soul still crawls the halls of the dead
Where is the heart that beat so long
Where is the strength where has gone
And the voice still echoes in my aching head
And it shouts within the halls of the dead
And it lingers in the halls of the dead
And it weeps within the halls of the dead

5. The Watcher

There's a man on a dark street corner
There is evil in his eye
He is hidden in the shadows
And he's watching passers-by
Oh now people
Hey now, keep your eyes open wide, So wide
With an eye for a lonesome straggler
And a heart as cold as clay
Detached in his silent patience
He is stalking easy prey
Oh now people
Hey now, keep your eyes open wide! So wide
See the sniper on the rooftop
Don't get caught within his sights
Watch for the guns all around you
Don't walk into their sights
Now he targets his next quarry
As his fingers stroke the blade
And his pulse beats a little faster
It is time to ply his trade
Oh now people
Hey now, keep your eyes open wide! So wide
See the sniper on the rooftop
Don't get caught within his sights
Watch for the guns all around you
Don't walk into their sights

6. Monster On The Street

Do you want to come out and play
Down by the river that’s where I’ll be today
Hear me in the shadows, catch me in the wind
This is not the first time, the first time I have sinned
Even in the daylight, I’m watching from the crowd
Searching for the innocent, make my family proud
Disguise myself as normal, a warm and tight embrace
Waiting for the moment, the time to watch your face
Sanctify my passion, justify the need
Take me to the very brink, to satisfy the greed
Hold you with a death embrace, feel the power grow
The feelings that rush through me now, no one will ever know
All the time I sit and wait
I see you as you hesitate
Your breathe is short, I taste your pain
And curse that I have sinned again

7. Paragon

There you stand, a paragon, your blessings you bequeath
Through false dignity, no one can see
The monster underneath
Fool, around
Unsuspecting trust
Can’t view the lust
The darkness of a clown
Confident performances
And charitable deeds
All endear you to
The public view
And hide your inner greed
Satan’s Spore
As the tale unfolds, the truth is told
We see the rotting core
And now that it’s done
No one has won
We all count the cost
The truth is revealed
Your fate has been sealed
And all respect lost

8. Burn With Your Demons

Burn with your demons
Live with your crimes
Pain in your afterlife
You lived a life of lies
So burn with your demons
They will come back to haunt you
They will return to taunt you
There will be no forgiveness now
Scream in your torment
Ponder your sins
Plague of the innocent
Phantom of dark intent
So scream in your torment
They will come back to haunt you
They will return to taunt you
There will be no forgiveness now
Suffer the justice
Cleansing your soul
Feel the relentless heat
You knew revenge was sweet
So suffer the justice
They will come back to haunt you
They will return to taunt you
There will be no forgiveness now

9. Questions & Answers (New Recording)

Looking in from the outside, watching you running my life
Try to take the chance to satisfy my dreams
All my hope is in your hands, do what you want with our lands
You have the power and you have the means
Take a ride in the fast lane, can’t you see that it’s your pain
Try to take the night before the morning comes
All our hopes have been scattered, all our dreams have been shattered
All our money has been spent on having fun
What are the questions, who has the answers
The point of life eludes our grasp
You have the questions, you have the answers
How long do you think it all can last

10. Taste Of Life (New Recording)

Exploding like some vision of the future
Eroding like a nightmare of the past
Degrading like the voice of retribution
Evading like the life that cannot last
Demanding like the call of satisfaction
Tolling like the bell that rings of death
Announcing that the game of life is over
Gasping like the failing of your breath
Your sadness is reflected in the way your life is wasted
Your ignorance stands the test the kind of life you tasted
Your fear stands alone in the world you have created
But weeping has no future when your cries are so belated
So there it is my friend, a taste of life
We’re on a stage my friend, we’re under lights
Why is it that your visions are confessions of the past
And time is here tomorrow in a life that cannot last
The men that call for changes in the dream that never starts
Are victims of the future in a play devoid of parts
So there it is my friend, a taste of life
We’re on a stage my friend, we’re under lights

11. Play Your Game

We live in dangerous times
We suffer from your crimes
We try to tolerate
The ideals for which you aim
We want to live with you
But we just won't play your game
To us your ways are strange
And you will never change
We try to understand
But we can't recognise your claim
We want to live with you
But we just won't play your game
We want to live in peace
But hatred has to cease
How can we live with those
Who think it's right to kill and maim
We want to live with you
But we just won't play your game
