1. Cross The Line
In the days so long ago
All the things I've come to know
Thank God it's over
With a cool look in my eyes
Holding the pace, I've got to stride
And try to keep my sanity
Oh, it's time for letting go
When I - Cross the line
(This is the place this is the life I want to know)
All on my own
(So mighty yet so simple as the river flow)
And when I'm falling from grace
(This is the dream; this is the faith I must believe)
I've chosen to be
(To be the one to criticize the best of me)
Just another lesson learned
Though the wounds will heal in time
The pain doesn't stop, it just subsides
It's never ending
All the thoughts rage through my head
Things that I've done and things I've said
There'll be no starting over
Oh, it's time for letting go
When I - Cross the line
(This is the place this is the life I want to know)
All on my own
(So mighty yet so simple as the river flow)
And when I'm falling from grace
(This is the dream; this is the faith I must believe)
I've chosen to be
(To be the one to criticize the best of me)
And there's still so much to learn,
But I'm taking my time
And I'm crying out for number one
After all the damage has been done
Oh, all I want is satisfaction
To walk the path without distraction
To live this life so divine,
Cross the line
(This is the place this is the life I want to know)
All on my own
(So mighty yet so simple as the river flow)
And when I'm falling from grace
(This is the dream; this is the faith I must believe)
I've chosen to be
(To be the one to criticize the best of me)
Just another lesson learned
2. I Will Be Waiting
Yes, I can be such a humble man
Can I make you understand
You're a part of me that I must set free when the moment comes
So what's the use of playing give and take
When neither one of us can win?
It's going on too long and I'm not that strong as I used to be
And every time that I leave you alone
There's a chance you will be gone
Ooh, I feel so cold when I walk through that door
When you say what I've always known
I will be waiting, every single day
I can't believe I heard you say
I will be waiting, every single day to be in your arms
I will be waiting, waiting by the phone
How could I leave you on your own?
I will be waiting, every single day and into the night
Although you laugh I swore I heard a cry
And though it's hidden by your smile
I was wrong before and I'm not quite sure what you really mean
So many ways to be hurting inside
And the pain keeps us awake
Oh, I want to know if it's all in my mind
Did I make the same mistake?
I will be waiting, every single day
I can't believe I heard you say
I will be waiting, every single day to be in your arms
I will be waiting, waiting by the phone
How could I leave you on your own?
I will be waiting, every single day...
And into the night.... This restless night
Ooh, do you forgive me?
I don't need to hear you cry,
You don't need my alibi
And every time that I leave you alone
There's a chance you will be gone
Ooh, I feel so cold when I walk through that door
When you say what I've always known
I will be waiting, every single day
I can't believe I heard you say
I will be waiting, every single day to be in your arms
I will be waiting, waiting by the phone
How could I leave you on your own?
I will be waiting, every single day and into the night
I want to be good to you
(Oooo, Every time when the words all falling from my pen)
I know that it's just not true
(Oooo, Every time that you fake it)
Can I be what you want me to be?
(Oooo, Every heart is a home for any boy or girl)
I swore I heard you cry, oh, left on your own
(Oooo, anybody can make it)
3. Too Late
The more they laugh the more I cry
The more I'm contemplating
The more I see right through those lies - ooh
The more we love the more I hurt
The more I'm understanding
There must be something more to this life
So I look to the future
But it's too late to learn when the chances are passing us by
(So much to know, so hard to find)
We suffer the consequences and never get another try
It's too late and it's gone like a second in time
(Another wrong won't make it right)
We're always pulling punches but never stopped to wonder why
Yes, the moment is gone but it's not too late for goodbyes - tears in your eyes
The more I can the more I will
The "more" is so demanding
The more I try is like falling uphill
Fly to the sun, answer to none
Finding the reasons on the run
So many stones still left unturned - yeah
So I look to the future, yeah
But it's too late to learn when the chances are passing us by
(So much to know, so hard to find)
We suffer the consequences and never get another try
It's too late and it's gone like a second in time
(Another wrong won't make it right)
We're always pulling punches but never stopped to wonder why
Yes, the moment is gone but it's not too late for goodbyes
There's a lesson to learn so don't let yourself burn
There's a reason to be all that you wanted to be
And keeping the pace with the masses and crowds
Won't help you to know what this worlds all about
It's not too late to find your place in this life
But it's too late to learn when the chances are passing us by
(So much to know, so hard to find)
We suffer the consequences and never get another try
It's too late and it's gone like a second in time
(Another wrong won't make it right)
We're always pulling punches but never stopped to wonder why
Yes, the moment is gone but it's not too late
4. I Will Be Gone
Something's gonna come to get the best of me
Leaving blackened circles round my eyes.
Something's gotta change before I set you free
Patience is a virtue well disguised
Rural streets and city lights
Heavy days with quiet nights
Leaving questions in my mind:
Did I ever see the signs?
Can I read between the lines?
(Where's the reason,)
For your lies?
(Who'll be crying?)
When the morning comes I will be gone
(No more waiting,)
No goodbyes.
(Hearts are yearning,)
When the morning comes I will be gone
I will be gone
I've justified the problem with apologies
I tried to stay objective to the pain
I never could fit in to your ideologies
And I never felt the need to be the same
Rural streets and city lights
Heavy days with quiet nights
Leaving questions in my mind:
Did I ever see the signs?
Can I read between the lines?
(Where's the reason,)
For your lies?
(Who'll be crying?)
When the morning comes I will be gone
(No more waiting,)
No goodbyes.
(Hearts are yearning,)
When the morning comes I will be gone
Oh I will be gone...
I will be gone...
5. The Setting Sun
[by Michael Kiske]
There were times I could always tell
Your every mood, your every worry
Now you're just a book on my shelve
No more pages to turn
So why did I keep on holding on?
I never knew if I could do better...
I've had thoughts of just letting go
But how should I know?
Your cries always break my stride
But I'm afraid to let you fall
How should I know?
You say when I'm not around
That all the passion will be gone
Like the Setting Sun
We close the day when nights begun
Like the Setting Sun
We know when all's been said and done
Let us brush aside our fears
With a smile I can stop the tears
For just a while to let the wounds heal
Did you ever stop to think how I feel?
Yes it hurts to be mistaken
Your cries always break my stride
But I'm afraid to let you fall
How should I know?
You say when I'm not around
That all the passion will be gone
Like the Setting Sun
We close the day when nights begun
Like the Setting Sun
We know when all's been said and done
Let us brush aside our fears
(Does it make you wonder?)
(Does it make you wonder?)
Like the Setting Sun
We close the day when nights begun
Like the Setting Sun
We know when all's been said and done
Let us brush aside our fears
(Like the Setting Sun)
Oh, I want to be close to you
Put an end to all our fears
6. Place Vendome
Take a look deep in my eyes
More than a feeling - I call it pride when I know
There's a chance and I've got to take it
And I don't mind a bruise, yeah yeah
Baby I've got nothing to lose
It's only a crazy game
So I try, alone to make it
But it's good to know that you're there waiting
Right outside the door
Heading out on my way tonight into a fortress made of stone
To a place I've never felt alone, cause I know you'll be there
Heading out on my way tonight just like a king upon a thrown
So just hold my hand and I'll show you my second home....
Down at the Place Vendome
On the streets I feel so free
I'm walking miles without misery and I know
That it's you that keeps me going
It's like a pleasure ride
Turning round and around,
Takes me up takes me down inside
Oh it's such a crazy, crazy time
And I try, so hard to make it
But it's good to know that you're still waiting
Right outside the door, yeah-yeah!
Heading out on my way tonight into a fortress made of stone
To a place I've never felt alone, cause I know you'll be there
Heading out on my way tonight just like a king upon a thrown
So just hold my hand and I'll show you my second home....
Into the Place Vendome
Every time we meet I have to laugh out loud
Though people often frown upon my smile
I just nod to them and listen to the city sounds
Then I raise my head and sing like no ones around
Oh, like there's no one around
Heading out on my way tonight into a fortress made of stone
To a place I've never felt alone, cause I know you'll be there
Heading out on my way tonight just like a king upon a thrown
So just hold my hand and I'll show you my second home....
Down at the Place Vendome
Heading out on my way tonight into a fortress made of stone
To a place I've never felt alone, I've never felt alone
Heading out on my way tonight just like a king upon a thrown
So just hold my hand and I'll show you my second home....
Down at the Place Vendome
7. Heavens Door
[by Michael Kiske]
The days without you, seem like a cloudy rainy day
The storms I've been through to find the light to guide the way
To your heart with me can we make a new start?
Will you walk the line to heavens door tonight?
If we take the time to make it feel just right
Only blue skies could really make me feel this way
So baby don't cry no more sorrows for today
Now you know and feel that I'm lonely for real
Will you walk the line to heavens door tonight?
If we take the time to make it feel just right
So give me just one more night
In this world that we're living it feels so right
And don't break my heart cuz you know that I'm hurting
So don't break my heart, Ooh
All the things you said that you'd do
Won't take away my feeling for you
All I ask is to give me shelter from a broken heart
Cuz my world tears me apart, Ooh
Can we make a new start?
Will you walk the line to heavens door tonight?
If we take the time to make it feel just right
So give me just one more night
In this world that we're living it feels so right
So don't break my heart cuz you know that I'm hurting
So don't break my heart
Will you walk the line to heavens door tonight?
If we take the time to make it feel just right
8. Right Here
[by Michael Kiske]
You better now close your eyes
We're traveling deep inside
You face your real emotions
To get through to the other side
I wonder now how you survive
With all these feelings that you always hide
Tell me just a reason, I won't run away
We don't look back for yesterday
Right here and right now,
There's no way out we're talking soul to soul
Right here and right now,
We're standing face to face
Take me by the hand and we're flying
Until the end of time
Cuz right here and right now,
We're talking soul to soul
There ain't no pill for cure
It's the devil that your' fighting for
You're waiting for release
But it ain't easy to live in peace
You can't start a fire without a spark
Waiting for light in the dark
Right here and right now,
There's no way out we're talking soul to soul
Right here and right now,
We're standing face to face
Take me by the hand and we're flying
Until the end of time
Cuz right here and right now,
We're talking soul to soul
Do you believe in more than just words?
Do you believe in heart and soul?
You see the sun is shining
By the moment you decide to see it again
See it again, just see it again.
Right here and right now,
There's no way out we're talking soul to soul
Right here and right now,
Don't break my heart again...
Right here and right now,
There's no way out we're talking soul to soul
Right here and right now,
We're standing face to face
Take me by the hand and we're flying
Until the end of time
Cuz right here and right now,
We're talking soul to soul
You and I let us fly, all around the world
You and I going flying
To the end of the world, to the end of the world
Right here and right now...
9. Magic Carpet Ride
[by Michael Kiske]
The night is falling
Exposing the way to your soul
I will be pretending to know
When I hear you calling
You put my mind in a spell
You left me waiting
To let me become what I am
I am so utterly bound to your
Empty promise - I follow the way to your heart
Your stealing time
When you say, "We'll leave behind who we are".
Who we are? Yeah,
You know I'm just a fool for your heart
This lovin's gonna tear me apart
When the day comes
I get a feeling so empty inside
You're flying away like a magic carpet ride
I've been patient
But I still think that I'll find a way
Forever is only a moment in disillusion
How can I go on when I know...
Your stealing time
When you say, "We'll leave behind who we are".
Who we are? Yeah,
You know I'm just a fool for your heart
This lovin's gonna tear me apart
When the day comes
I get a feeling so empty inside
You're flying away
How long should I live a life of sorrow?
How long must I wait for your tomorrow?
You're having your fun at the cost of my pride
Is there never an end to this carnival ride?
You know I'm just a fool for your heart
This lovin's gonna tear me apart
When the day comes
I get a feeling so empty inside
You're flying away like a magic carpet ride
Yeah, you ride, ooh
10. Sigh Of The Times
[by Michael Kiske]
They wake to see the morning sun
Their mourning has just begun...
It's so hard to hear those lonesome cries
When nobody's listening
You can't jump the barricades
Keeps you down on your knees
Getting hard enough to take the pain
They won't break you!
It's better to believe the lies
Then to let them know how you feel
All you've got is what you see
You don't know!
That we are not alone,
It's one collective soul - be aware!
Like a bullet unforgiving, shot through your heart
On a wing and a prayer we see the changes unfolding
Like a drifter we'll be living in a world of sorrow
Can't you see we're following the sign of the times?
Chasing shadows in the night
Tension grows in the air
Paranoia takes its toll
Got to stop the show!
Turn off that guiding light
It isn't worth the fight - walk away!
Like a bullet unforgiving, shot through your heart
On a wing and a prayer we see the changes unfolding
Like a drifter we'll be living in a world of sorrow
Can't you see we're following the sign, the sign of the times?
And nobody's listening...
Just be aware!
Like a bullet unforgiving, shot through your heart
On a wing and a prayer we see the changes unfolding
Like a drifter we'll be living in a world of sorrow
Can't you see we're following the sign of the times?
Like a bullet unforgiving, shot through your heart
Chasing shadows without a reason
Like a drifter we'll be living in a world of sorrow
Can't you see we're following the sign of the times?
11. Photograph
I found a way
To keep a lot of pretty features all the same
Here at my side
You keep me warm with inspirations I can't hide
I want to stay
But the pressures got me believing in all of the lies so I'm
Left with nothing but anguish - and your photograph
I can pretend
But then the feeling gets the best of me, my friend
It's kind of strange
To be so full of imperfections we can't change
Mmmm, I wanna stay
But it's just too late though I contemplate my goodbyes and I
Seal it off in a letter - with your
Smiling eyes here on a photograph, yes all that I have is your
Smiling eyes here on a photograph, and they're telling me lies - oh I
Might be a sinner, might be no saint
But the winds of change have delivered me to my fate
I need more than a memory, and your photograph
We both depend
Upon the one to understand and comprehend, yes
And though I've tried
I've got to leave with just an ounce left of my pride
Yeah, you ought to know
That I'm only human and only you can deny that I
Needed more than a reason - And your
Smiling eyes here on a photograph, yes all that I have is your
Smiling eyes here on a photograph, and they're telling me lies - oh I
Might be a sinner, might be no saint
But the winds of change have delivered me to my fate
I need more than a memory, and your photograph
Your photograph
I've tried to make it, I've tried to fight
But the things that you do, well it's just not right
If I could turn back the hands of time would it matter? No...
Smiling eyes here on a photograph
Smiling eyes here on a photograph
Smiling eyes here on a photograph, yes all that I have is your
Smiling eyes here on a photograph, and they're telling me lies - oh I
Might be a sinner, might be no saint
But the winds of change have delivered me to my fate
I need more than a memory
