TWISTED TOWER DIRE LYRICS

1. Starshine

You’ve finally crossed the line of reason, you feel your back’s against the wall
The ground below you starts to crumble, it won’t be long before you fall

I know it’s not easy, I know it’s not easy to be strong
I’ve looked death in the eye, there’s no need to fear the unknown

Call on me, you’ll find me dancing in the Starshine
Set your spirit free, doesn’t matter what you feel
Only pain and death are real in Starshine

Countless eyes are beating on you and every finger points the blame
You turn to these who once stood with you, your soul is blackened like your name

I know it’s not easy, I know it’s not easy to be strong
I’ve looked death in the eye, there’s no need to fear the unknown

Call on me, you’ll find me dancing in the Starshine
Set your spirit free, doesn’t matter what you feel
Only pain and death are real in Starshine

[Solo: Waldrop]

I know it’s not easy, I know it’s not easy to be strong
I’ve looked death in the eye, there’s no need to fear the unknown
Join me in the Starshine, meet me in the Starshine

2. Dire Wolf

3. Fortress

[Solo: Waldrop]

I had to get away, lock myself away
Felt I was going insane, overdosing on pain

Depression, the dawn of each new day
Salvation is only a bullet away

I’ve spent my life building this fortress
With towers so tall they touch the sky
Now these walls have become a prison
No mercy for those trapped inside

I was falling apart, as daggers filled my heart
Where does sanity lie, I’ll keep my defenses up so high

Depression, the dawn of each new day
Salvation is only a bullet away

I’ve spent my life building this fortress
With towers so tall they touch the sky
Now these walls have become a prison
No mercy for those trapped inside

[Solos: Waldrop / Boyd]

I had to get away, lock myself away
Felt I was going insane, overdosing on pain

Depression, the dawn of each new day
Salvation is only a bullet away

I’ve spent my life building this fortress
With towers so tall they touch the sky
Now these walls have become a prison
No mercy for those trapped inside

4. Killing Kind

We’re survivors, a lost generation, out of the underground
True believers in a better way, we won’t take it lying down
We want something more, we want something more!
A hope of a new world, with no disdain or agony
Compassion and reason, we’ll take all measures to extreme
Put our lives on the line!

No way you’ll ever slow us down
One wrong move and we’ll cut you to the ground

Whoa, we are the killing kind
We are one! We’re crossing every line, we cut the ties that bind
We are the, whoa, we are the killing kind
We are one! We’re crossing every line, we cut the ties that bind, we are the killing kind
We are the killing kind

[Solos: Boyd / Waldrop]

We’re calling to you to start a revolution
Pride of the underground, we’ve shown them all so many times
They put up walls, we tear them down!
We want something more, we want something more!
Let’s build a new world, we’ll take all measures to extreme
Put our lives on the line, no fear of death or injury will stop our fight for victory!

5. Netherworlds

The dark side has finally won me over
I have held out for far too long
I always knew some day it would arrive
The beast that had been waiting deep inside

Dreaming, am I dreaming, laughing or screaming

Look for the sign, into netherworlds we go
Seek and you will find, in the netherworlds below
Look for the sign, into netherworlds we go
Seek and you will find, in the netherworlds

Dreaming, am I dreaming, laughing or screaming
Questions that haunt me, am I a madman or demon

All I ever was is now a memory
It’s just a shattered image in my mind
I tried so hard to be just what you wanted
I tried too hard to stay inside the lines

[Solo: Waldrop]

What are you looking for – pure evil
You’ll find what you’re looking for – pure evil

[Solo: Boyd]

What are you looking for – pure evil
You’ll find what you’re looking for – pure evil

Look for the sign, into netherworlds we go
Seek and you will find, in the netherworlds below
Look for the sign, into netherworlds we go
Seek and you will find, in the netherworlds

Dreaming, am I dreaming, laughing or screaming
Questions that haunt me, am I a madman or demon

You cannot run, you cannot hide, from all the darkness waiting inside
You cannot run, you cannot hide, from all the darkness waiting inside
You cannot run, you cannot hide, from all the darkness in Netherworlds

6. Casualty Of Cruel Times

Whatever happened to this child, cruel times made him so wild
But now the kid’s gotta figure it out, find his voice and shout
Seek the exit now, fight the world like never before
What was to be, what was before, has twisted into
Something oh so dark

Seems this kid’s a casualty, soldier of the streets
Out in the streets, indeed this kid’s a casualty
Finding what sets him free
Storming the streets, storming the streets

The fire’s held him to his word
And you know it’s understood he’s cursed
Living to eternally burn, the battle is on and he’s invincible
His heart of stone has frozen him, cold like steel
Fit for the kill, severing the hand that fed him hell

Seems this kid’s a casualty, soldier of the streets
Out in the streets, indeed this kid’s a casualty
Finding what sets him free
Storming the streets, storming the streets, let go!

[Solos: Waldrop / Boyd]

Whatever happened to this child, cruel times made him so wild
But now the kid’s gotta figure it out, find his voice and shout
Seek the exit now, fight the world like never before
What was to be, what was before, has twisted into
Something oh so dark

7. Tales Of Submission

I look into your eyes, they are so full of fear
But there’s no need, no need to be afraid
Surrender to me, dawn comes too soon
You’ve known inside, you’ve known it for so long
And now, you’re ready to try, to give up all control
Surrender to me, dawn comes too soon

Hear tales of submission, this moment forever
Hear tales of submission
Hear tales of submission, this feeling you’ll treasure
Hear tales of submission

Here in the dark, with only a candlelight
I hear the sound of your heart, pounding in my head
As you surrender to me, forget the dawn

Hear tales of submission, this moment forever
Hear tales of submission
Hear tales of submission, this feeling you’ll treasure
Hear tales of submission

[Solos: Boyd / Waldrop]

You look in my eyes, they are so full of pride
Of just how much, how much you gave to me
We are as one, here comes the night

8. No One Left To Blame

I never told you nothing, that wasn’t true
I never gave less than all, you know I gave my best to you
I thought you were the one to set my spirit free
But I’ve always been naive, you know I’m easy to deceive
It’s time for me to go

What will you say when there’s no one left to blame?
We tried and we tried no more tears left to cry
You’re begging me “Baby give me one more chance”
Now you sit all alone with your heart made of stone
You’re begging me “Baby please don’t walk away”

You always wanted more and more ‘till I’m a hollow man
I realized far too late I’m a pawn in your plan
I gave you my heart but it wasn’t yours to break
But those days are over and I am over you
Who’s sorry now?

What will you say when there’s no one left to blame?
We tried and we tried no more tears left to cry
You’re begging me “Baby give me one more chance”
Now you sit all alone with your heart made of stone
You’re begging me “Baby please don’t walk away”

[Solos: Waldrop / Boyd]

Life is too lonely, life is too lonely
Life is too lonely, without love?

9. Firebird

Look at the masses, their eyes seem spellbound, deceived by
their masters on life’s battleground, they’re no longer human
Just the skin of man

We’ve waited for the time, when the answer would arrive
To cleanse the world of shame, let us start again
Let them feel our pain!

Sons of Corruption beware, twisting and turning we’re
lighter than air, all that you know will come to an end
On the wings of the Firebird

We’re known as dreamers, believing in the stars
Wishing for a tomorrow, with no mental scars
To us they are jackals, scavengers of prey
They gnaw to the gristle, bloodlust in the fray

We’ve waited for the time, when the answer would arrive
To cleanse the world of shame, let us start again
Let them feel our pain!

Sons of Corruption beware, twisting and turning we’re
lighter than air, all that you know will come to an end
On the wings of the Firebird

[Solos: Waldrop / Boyd]

Look at the masses, with eyes that finally see
Their bodies in ruin, burned in effigy
Where are their masters? In ashes they do lie
Crushed for their indifference, no longer deified
