MASTERMIND LYRICS

1. The End Of The World

I lift mine eyes towards the heavens
And I pray that the light I shall see
Lord grant me strength and the wisdom
And the will to fulfill my own destiny

'Cause now the rules have changed
And it's a different game
You never know what's coming 'til it hits you
They speak with tainted tongues
There's nowhere left for peace of mind
And when I go you know I'll really miss you

And when I close my eyes I hear the angels sing
Beyond tomorrow I have seen so many things
And when the race is run, the final day is done
I have to know at least I tried

It's the end of the world and we're all out of time
Over the limit and 'cross the line
Live for the moment, there's no turning back
To the worlds we've left behind
How could we be so blind?

Step back, take a moment to catch my breath
I have so many things to achieve before my death
I will ride the lightning, dance with kings
Kiss the sky on dragon's wings
Build an empire, save the day
In the background the clock still ticks away

And when I close my eyes I hear the angels cry
Cast off my worldly things I am prepared to die
And when the day is done, the final race is run
I have to know at least I tried

It's the end of the world and we're all out of time
Live for the moment, we're over the line
Way past the limit, there's no turning back
To the days we've left behind

And if you had it all to do over again
How many changes would you make before the end?
Please don't tell me, please don't show me
I don't want to know

It's the end of the world and we're all out of time
Over the limit and 'cross the line
Live for the moment, there's no turning back
To the things we've left behind

Ride the lightning, dance with kings
Kiss the sky on dragon's wings
Build an empire, save the day
In the background the clock still ticks away

Please don't tell me, please don't show me
I don't want to know

2. Perchance To Dream

Close my eyes and pray for sleep
Perchance to dream of a quiet place of refuge
I cannot take it any more, I'm down upon the floor
I tremble on my knees and pray in vain

Clear my mind in search of peace
Beyond the chaos of the day
Pushing and pulling and tearing the fabric of my life away

As we face tomorrow's world, thunderbolts are being hurled
Upon the face of man, was this part of the plan?
On the wings of war, are we insane?
Pray in vain

And as I face my own mortality
And the door is open wide, our dreams have all died
As the pushing and pulling is tearing the fabric of my mind away

Facing tomorrow's world, thunderbolts are being hurled
Upon the face of man, was this part of the plan?
I tremble on my knees and pray in vain
Burn in flames

3. 2000 Years

Oh Lord, why can't you hear my prayer, are you still there?
Oh Lord, why don't you heal our pain, I call your name
Oh Lord, it's been 2000 years

I have befriended Beelzebub, and well I
I have his message for you
If you pay close attention here
I could show you a thing or two
But your little minds and uniforms are oh so predictable
Soon I will tire of this game
And if you don't take your place beside me
I will watch you go down in flames

Oh Lord, why don't you heal our pain, I call your name
Oh Lord, we've shed so many tears

There's a promise of Paradise
The world we have yet to find
It only exists in our mind

We have a friend in Beelzebub who could show us a thing or two
But your buzz cut brain and uniforms are oh so predictable
Just like the apple you chew

Oh Lord, why don't you hear my prayer, are you still there?
Oh Lord, why can't you feel our pain, I call your name
Oh Lord, it's been 2000 years (2000 years)
Oh Lord, we've shed so many tears

There's a promise of Paradise
A place we will never find
It only exists in our mind

4. This Lover's Heart

I believed in you
There's time to find your missing lover
I believe in time to find our dreams

And this old photograph reminds me of you
So many memories I hold to be true
Shifting sands of time have torn us apart
Left a gaping hole in this lover's heart

Time will find your missing lover
I believe there's time to find our dreams

And this old photograph reminds me of you
So many memories I hold to be true
Shifting sands of time have torn us apart
Can't kill the memories in this lover's heart

Sweet lover, I cried over you

5. The Queen Of Sheba

I will dance for you and take away your pain
And in return I ask for nothing
This gentle kindness I give to you for free
As all my wealth in truth amounts to nothing
But I have questions that will put you to the test
Without the answers my soul will never rest

The Queen of Sheba
In perfume and gold
She seeks the answers
Of wisdom untold

I kiss you softly to take away the pain
And in return I ask for nothing
But still I have these questions that weigh upon my breast
And without the answers my soul will never rest

The Queen of Sheba
In perfume and gold
She seeks the answers
Of wisdom untold
The Queen of Sheba
In perfume and gold
Has seen the answers
As a new world unfolds

The Queen of Sheba
In perfume and gold
Has seen the answers
Of wisdom unfold
The Queen of Sheba
Of riches untold
Has seen the answers
As a new world unfolds

6. With Dignity And Grace

[Instrumental]

7. A Million Miles Away

I hear you crying
Out here on my own
I wish I could help you
'Cause I know what it is to be alone

Another day rolls in to night
As another night fades away
You would think by now I would have it down
It just don't seem to be the way

Don't know what's wrong with me
I think I'm losing my mind

There's a light in the distance
It's shining my way
From beyond the horizon
A million miles away
I see it clear as day

My face in the mirror
All twisted in pain
As we stand in the aftermath
Things will never ever be the same

Don't know what's wrong with me
I think I'm losing my mind
Can't stop what's happening
From taking all of my time

There's a light in the distance
It's calling my way (my way)
Far beyond the horizon
A million miles away
I'll be there one day

And the light in the distance
Will show me the way (show me the way)
Far beyond the horizon
I will be there one day

And the light in the distance
Is so far away
From beyond the horizon
A million miles away
I see it clear as day

The light in the distance
So far away
A million miles away
A million miles away
A million miles away

There's a light in the distance
So far away
So far away
A million miles away

8. The Beast Of Babylon

Questions of faith as we're toe to the line
If you believe then you're all out of time
Trumpets are calling from angels on high
As the world drinks of the wine of Babylon

So it was written and so it was told
Prophets and demons, the beast takes control
Fire and hailstorms rain down from above
As the world drinks of the wine of Babylon
Of Babylon

Hear me
Spare me your pain
I have no time for this
Taste the wine upon my kiss
And leave me on my own
We all die alone

Hear me
Leave me on my own
We all die alone

9. The Endless Enigma

Why do you stare, do you think that I care?
You've been misled by the thoughts in your head
Your words waste and decay
Nothing you say reaches my ears anyway
You never spoke a word of truth

Why do you think I believe what you said?
Few of your words ever enter my head
I'm tired of hypocrite freaks with tongues in their cheeks
Turning their eyes as they speak
They make me sick and tired

Are you confused to the point in your mind
Though you're blind can't you see you're wrong?
Won't you refuse to be used, even though you may know
I can see you're wrong?

Please, please, please open their eyes
Please, please, please don't give me lies

I've ruled all of the earth
Witnessed my birth, cried at the sight of a man
And still I don't know who I am

Are you confused to the point in your mind
Though you're blind can't you see you're wrong?
Won't you refuse to be used, even though you may know
I can see you're wrong?

Please, please, please open their eyes
Please, please, please don't give me lies

I've seen paupers as kings
Puppets on strings dance for the children who stare
You must have seen them everywhere

Each part was played but the play was not shown
Everyone came but they all sat alone
The dawn opened the play, breaking the day
Causing a silent hooray
The dawn will break another day

Now that it's done I've begun to see
The reason why I'm here

10. Only In My Dreams

[bonus track]

I barely even know your name yet somehow I am aware
As I reach out through the longest night I stand beside the flame
And in my dreams you're always there

Each day I wake up and take it as it comes
I make the best of each and every day
Under the moon one summer night an angel came beside me
I spoke to heaven till the early morning light

Have we gone too far? Is it wrong or right?
Are we over the edge? Is it day or night?
Like a shooting star 'cross the burning sky
Your flame is only in my dreams
Only in my dreams

Today I'm feeling somewhat satisfied
And choose to think that nothing's wrong
The empty road lies up ahead, what fortunes will it bring?
'Round every bend I see you standing there, I believe

Have we gone too far? Is it day or night?
Over the edge? Is it black or white?
Like a shooting star 'cross the burning sky
Your flame burns only in my dreams
Only in my dreams
You're only in my dreams

I barely know your name

Have we gone too far? Is it day or night?
Are we over the edge? Is it wrong or right?
Like a shooting star 'cross the burning sky
Your flame burns only in my dreams

Is it black or white? Are we over the edge?
Is it day or night?
Like a shooting star 'cross the burning sky
Your name is only in my dreams
You're only in my dreams
My dreams
You're only in my dreams
Only in my dreams
Only in my dreams
Only in my dreams
