Текст песни:

You mystify with the things that you say.

You′re telling me you′re leaving, that you′re going away

to take a trip to find, and leave behind the love.



I′ve got a destination, a suggestion for you.

You won′t need a jet plane or a luxury cruise.

Just take a look in my eyes, and realize the love.



I can′t live without us,

so I hope that you will

stay with me forever.

It′s all I want from you.

the thought of our disintegration is killing me.

I love you.



Living blind without you,

Don′t wanna try to live without your love.

I feel so lonely now with you gone.



But don′t take for granted, your condition of me,

′cause there′ll be retribution, the kind you wouldn′t

believe

Let′s get back to living, see what tomorrow brings.



Stay with me forever.

It′s all I want from you.

And if we stay together,

all our dreams will come true



Stay with me forever.

It′s all I want from you.

the thought of our disintegration is killing me.

I love you.

Текст песни:

Don′t slam the door, on your way out

Don′t leave without saying goodbye.

Another long distance night alone,

you leave me wanting, always leave me wanting more.

Last word today, coming home to stay?

Wouldn′t that be nice, for a while?



But now my take-out food is growing cold,

and the candle′s burned a hole in the floor.

And I′m still waiting for the ring of the phone.



I′m all alone

It′s just another rainy night, without you.

Guess I′ll leave a light on for you.

It′s just another rainy night, without you.



Listen, there′s a foghorn blowing

from the coast tonight

Remember making love in the rain?

Strange how laughter looks like crying with no sound

Raindrops taste like tears without the pain.

I′m not much without you, can′t leave

if I wanted to. maybe that′s why you stay around



But tonight I′ll sit here tending the fire

and pace the floor one hundred times in an hour.

And check the voice-mail for a message you′ve called.



I′m all alone

It′s just another rainy night, without you.

Waiting by the phone. Alone.

It′s just another rainy night, without you.

Guess I′ll leave a light on for you.



I know I′ve said it before

hate the sound of the closing door

and your footsteps walking away.



[solo]



But now my take-out food is growing cold,

and the candle′s burned a hole in the floor.

And I′m still waiting for the ring of the phone.v

I′m all alone

It′s just another rainy night, without you.

Waiting by the phone. Alone.

And it′s another rainy night, without you.

Guess I′ll leave a light on for you.



It′s just another rainy night, another rainy night,

another rainy night without you.

Текст песни:

Take your children down to the water wash their heads and

sing .. holy holy



Last night I dreamed you were standing there, strong and

tall beside me.

All my life ... behind me.



You gently took me by my hand and led me to where

I couldn′t see,but where I′ve always been ... an island.



In my dreams I′ve been an island ...



where I′m all alone, and I′ve built these walls stone by

stone.

I want to leave but I don′t know where to go.



I′ve tried the best I can, but it′s hard to be a man and

feel the way you feel.

I′m different on the inside. I′ve tried to give to you

what you need to get you through.



I′ll always be ... beside you.



The day you were born I held you ... small and helpless

crying, your life and mine entwining.



As I looked into your eyes I saw myself in an overview,

reaching out to you from this island in the sea.

I don′t want to be an island.



I′ve tried the best I can, but it′s hard to be a man and

feel the way you feel.

I′m different on the inside.



I′ve tried to give to you what you need to get you through.

I′ll always be ... beside you.

Текст песни:

Thank-you for the lies, the lies you sold us.

Thank-you for this vision of violence.

Thank-you for this song you gave me to sing.

Thank-you for the capping day

of a culture that lay dying.

Yes it′s us dying.

Maybe it won′t be long,

now that it′s all gone on.



It′s all gone wrong and

there′s blood on our hands.



We saw them lying there

with their arms around each other,

staring through their fear and

the miles between our heads.

You could have told the truth.

It was your decision to

sacrifice integrity and compassion for greed.



Now it′s all gone wrong and

there′s blood on our hands.

Текст песни:

Hanging by a thread, problems in my head,

don′t know what I said, living to be dead on the run.

Corporation greed, television need,

overdose and bleed, pornograph obscene, I′m a liar.



There′s no brakes on me, as I′m running down the track.

They′ll be waiting for me, but I′m never coming back.



I′m going down...

to a place where I can see all there is to see in me.



Bullets in the gun, gonna have some fun,

think I′ll take a ride to the other side, till I′m done.

Hole is in the vein,

feel it numb the brain, take away the pain,

never be the same till I die.



There′s no brakes on me, as I come around the track.

There′s no gauge to read,

peg the needle as I hit the black.



I′m going down...

to a place where I can see all there is to see in me.



Population freeze,

modern day disease,

brings us to our knees, see them stand in line for a cure.

Profit in the wind,

pushing back the time that we wait in line,

pushing back the time, it′s a sin.



There′s no brakes on me, as I′m running down the track.

They′ll be waiting for me, but I′m never coming back.



I′m going down....

Текст песни:

Culture hostage.

I’m writhing in the cold grasp of justice,

as she turns away.

Blind is she supposed to be but,

someone took a razor to her mask.



Rusted now the scales you hold,

the balance tipped by the weight of gold.

When will it end?

When will it ever end?



The judgment man holds my fate,

as I beg forgiveness with the

plastic smile of a candidate.



They take for granted that I’m out of my mind and they’re wasting their time to care.

So all my reasons are damned before they’re heard.

I’m held hostage by their words.

What will lead us to tolerance

if we don’t question our prejudice?



Courage is such a lonely word,

patience, in time these truths will be known.

Please, don’t keep looking away.

You see fortunes are on line, reputations at risk, and there’s fear in the hearts of all of you that
believe that you’re right,

and that’s your right.

But are you . . . right?



The judgment man holds my fate,

as I gaze around the room,

their eyes are like knives, could decapitate.

They take for granted that I’m out of my mind and I’m wasting their time, don’t show, don’t show me
my fate.



Reasons are damned, can’t understand.

If I fall to pieces they’ll know . . .

he’s out of his mind and he’s wasting our time, we know. As I sense my fate . . .

His reasons be damned, can’t understand him.

. . . and now all my reasons are damned before they’re heard. I’m held hostage by their words.

I’m a hostage

Текст песни:

There you were like a ghost from my early days, staring

straight ahead at me.

How could I ever guess, from that moment on, just how

everything would change.



How could I know?



I recall something strange coming over me, somewhat at a

loss for words.

I′d been around and had my share of what I thought my soul

could bare, but never seen what I saw in your eyes.



How could I know?

We never took it slow.

We gave it all we had and more.



How could I know?

We never took it slow.

We gave it all we had and more.



Looking back at where we′ve been, the road ahead is so

uncertain.

We keep passing open windows forever.



I′ve tried before I′ll try again, I never know where were

going.

I only know that I′ll be yours forever ... yours

forever ... forever ... forever.



How could I know?

We never took it slow.

We gave it all we had.

We gave it all we had.

Текст песни:

Wings of fire, are sailing past the pint of no return

Blinding eyes, from which it hides the key

Seek to rise, begotten are the fools who′ll never know

Force will hide the presence that we see



There′s no time to run away

A prophecy will make its stay



Course of rage, a never ending fight for the unknown

To justify the formulated scheme

So we find a gleaming light to lead us far beyond

The closing gates of our society



There′s no time to run away

A prophecy will make its stay

@ Queensryche

Текст песни:

I know where I′m going,

and I′ve got all my cards showing.

I′m like the crow flies, a straight line

reaching for the other side



I dig the sand they kick at me with a calm that stuns.

Tracing time with no alibis makes me, makes me realize.



It′s ok it′s just a dream I had.

That there′s something out there,

something, just out of reach



Armed with time on my side

and a field of vision miles wide.

I′ll keep searching for some meaning

whatever makes me feel alive.



It′s ok it′s just a dream I had.

That there′s something out there,

something, just out of reach



Today I felt something so strong it took my breath away.

Now I long

to live like this everyday.

I′ll find it some way.



I′m alive with so much of life to try.

I′ve got no memories of what used to worry me.



It′s ok it′s just a dream I had.

That there′s something out there,

something, just out of reach

Someday I′ll reach.

It′s ok it′s just a dream I had.

That there′s something out there,

Something just out of reach

just out of reach, just out of reach
