"Chase Down the Moon"

In the cobweb of your room I sit here with you I will tell you why Every time that I'm with you The truth is coming through I can't tell a lie In the lighter room Darkness from the world seems to fade Shadows from the moon Come in from the rain How long until it's fading So long this ride See the lines on your face As you lay there to waste There's no reason why As the seasons start to change It's time to rearrange And you wonder why I will stand alone Let the shades of violence fade away In the early dawn Nothing seems to matter How long until it's fading So long this ride Hold on no more waiting Chase down the moon

"Nailed to the Cross"

Possessed by demons Trapped in a world of shame Buy the goods they sell you Watch the heavens as they call your name Is this an endless game The innocence has left you, now it's gone But you're feeding the flame I will wander through your open mind Take your breath away It's my reflection that you seek to find Say goodbye to yesterday Nailed to the cross Heaven bends to pick you up again You can only fight to win Stacking bones in the battlefield Falling hard and sinking low Just a path to sorrow Where's the darkness The tide is rolling in Nailed to the cross

"A Better Day"

Out on my own again now This time I take no blame Diving in a sea of pain now I feel betrayed Waiting so long I ain't no saint Nothing to say Trying to find a better day It's time to go now Don't follow my way Don't you hear them calling I don't feel quite the same Ridin' the waves of pain now Children of yesterday, oh Lord Fallin' apart Losing the grip Masking the shame Life is fading, sorrow within Can you hear them calling There's nothing left to say Searching for a new tomorrow Finding a better day You don't have to understand I'm trapped in this living hell All the lies will always remain Now it's time for you to fail You're locked inside your prison cell Nothing will ever be the same again Searching for a new tomorrow Finding a better day

"One More Time"

When your eyes are lonely as can be Your smiling face is a disguise When you're feeling low and run down When it's time to go it's no surprise That your eyes look lonely, let it be In this world it all comes down to you When you realize it's no tomorrow When you're giving up on your dreams The lights are fadin' very fast Goodbye tomorrows, live today So many hours left No one told me I couldn't forget our world One more time We steal and borrow One more time There's no regrets Now the time has come to say goodbye When it's time to go forget your sorrow When you're feeling low and run down When you realize it's down to you

"Time to Run"

Well, I'm standing at the frontline My life seems like a war I'm so tired of fightin' back Don't wanna see your face no more Well, I think you know it's over It's better left undone Now I will soon be going 'Cause the things you've said and done I know it's time to run You'd better open your eyes I know your time has come It's time to run When I'm talking to ya now I might be talkin' to the wall I've got news for you You just ain't no fun at all I don't hear your words for me I don't hear your words at all You'd better watch your step 'Cause you're headed for a fall I just wanna walk away I just turn my back and say Baby, your time has come I'm so tired, I'm so confused Tossed around, I've paid my dues Baby, it's time to run

"Taking the Blame"

When I realize it's a new day You'll find another slave Taking a ride on a new wave Now I am free from what you are But now I have found another way To turn you into a fool It's gonna end My patience's gone It's all the same now Always taking the blame now it's all a shame now Always taking the blame now I'm taking a ride on a new vibe It will be great, you will see Now I'm done with you, you lose now The ugliness is gone and I'm free You're gonna fry When the feelin' is gone You know that you've been wrong Now the time has arrived I know I must move on

"Change Will Come"

Come and live with me Come take my hand You'll be the one who understands I will land, you'll see Hope will be there for me In the early dawn I will find you You will be the river runnin' dry Hurt by the lies Hurt by the flames Don't need no bad lies Joy will come, you'll see Don't need no bad lies Change will come, you'll see When all hope is gone over with and done I will look into the crystal ball Where's the honesty Let your soul live in me You won't live in misery

"Forced"

You'll be hanging around 'Cause you know I will be going away Life's gonna come back You know that for sure The world keeps on dying Nobody knows why The sun will shine It's time for the wine I was forced before I was blind before Well, I know you got problems 'Cause things that you have done If you want to drag me all over the floor So long Time burns like fire As one as one Sands of the storm It's time for goodbyes

"Solitude"

"Natural Thing" (live)

Since you came from Memphis You can look but please don't touch Didn't like rock and rollers Seemed a bit much too much Cause it's the natural thing feelin' the star Natural blood starts to flow Yeah, the natural thing, get up a star Then she'll never let you go Hey girl, now does it feel all right Think I'm gettin' through Don't you think the band's real tight Wait til we start to move May sound funny but you gave it to me I didn't even like it May sound funny but you gave it to me And now I got to live without it I been down to Atlanta Got to move my feet Gettin' down before the last call With every star she meets Cause it's the natural thing feelin' the star Natural blood starts to flow Yeah, the natural thing, get up a star Then she'll never let you go May sound funny but you gave it to me I didn't even like it May sound funny but you gave it to me And now I got to live without it Cause it's the natural thing feelin' the star Natural blood starts to flow Yeah, the natural thing, get up a star Then she'll never let you go Why'd you do it, why'd you do it
