Disorder





I've been waiting for a guide to come

and take me by the hand

Could these sensations make me feel

the pleasures of a normal man

New sensations bear the innocence -

leave them for another day

I've go the spirit, lose the feeling

take the shock away





It's getting faster, moving faster now,

it's getting out of hand

On the tenth floor, down the backstairs

into no-man's land

Lights are flashing,

cars are crashing,

getting frequent now

I've got the spirit,

 lose the feeling,

let it out somehow





What means to you,

what means to me -

and we will meet again

I'm watching you,

I watch it all

I take no pity from friends

Who is right and who can tell,

and who gives a damn right now

Until the spirit, new sensation

takes hold - then you know (3)

I've got the spirit, but lose the feeling (2)



Feeling (7)

Day of the Lords





This is the room, the start of it all

No portraits so fine, only sheets on the wall

I've seen the nights,

filled with bloodsports in vain

And the body is obtained

Where will it end? (4)





These are your friends,

from childhood for you

Who goaded you on demanded

full proof

Withdraw maiden's heart,

and do you right in

So distorted and thin, distorted and thin

Where will it end? (4)





This is the car, at the edge of the road

There's nothing disturbed,

all the windows are closed

I guess you were right,

when we talked in the heat

There's no room for the weak

no room for the weak

Where will it end? (4)





This is the room, the start of it all

Dreamt I fled from you,

I remember it all

Oh I've seen the nights, filled with

bloodsport in vain

And the body's obtained, the body's obtained

Where will it end? (4)

Candidate





Forced by the pressure, the territory's

marked

No longer the pleasure, Oh I've since

lost the heart

Corrupted from memory, no longer the power

It's creeping up slowly, that last

fatal hour





Oh I don't know what made me,

or what gave me the night

To mess with your values

And change wrong to right





Please keep your distance

the trail leads to here,

There's blood on your fingers,

brought on by fear

I campaigned for nothing,

I worked hard for this

I tried to get to you

you treat me like this





It's just second nature,

it's what we've been shown

We're living by your rules,

that's all that we know

I tried to get to you (3)

Oh how I tried to get to you

Insight





Guess the dream always end

They don't rise up just descend

But I don't care anymore

I've lost the will to want more

I'm not afraid, not at all

I watch them all as they fall

But I remember, when we were young





Those with habits of waste

The sense of style and the taste

Of making sure you were right

Hey, don't you know you were right

I'm not afraid anymore

I keep my eyes on the door

But I remember...





Tears and sadness for you

Awe of evil for you

Reflects a moment in time

A special moment in time

Yeah, we wasted our time

We didn't really have time

But we remember - when we were young





And all God's angels beware

And all you judges beware

Sons of chance take good care

For all the people out there

I'm not afraid anymore (4)

New Dawn Fades





Change of speed, a change of style

A change of scene, with no regrets

A chance to watch

admire the distance

Still occupied - though you forget

Different colours, different shades

Over each mistakes were made

I took the blame

Directionless, so plain to see

A loaded gun won't set you free

So you say





We'll share a drink and step outside

An angry voice and one who cried

We'll give you everything and more

The strain's too much,

can't take much more

Oh I've walked on water,

run through fire

Can't seem to feel it anymore

It was me -  waiting for me

Hoping for something more

Me - see me in this time -

Hoping for something else

She's Lost Control





Confusion in her eyes that says it all -

She's lost control

And she's clinging to the nearest passer-by

She's lost control

And she gave away the secrets of her past

And said "I've lost control again."





And she turned to me

and took me by the hand

and said "I've lost control again"

and how I'll never know just why

or understand

She said  "I've lost control again"

And she screamed out, kicking on her side

And seized up on the floor -

I thought she'd died

She said "I've lost control again"

She's lost control again -



she's lost control





Well I had to phone her friend

to state her case and say

she's lost control again

And she showed up all the errors

and mistakes

and said "I've lost control again"

But she expressed herself in many

different ways

until she'd control again

And walked upon the edge of no escape

and laughed "I've lost control again"

She's lost control again,

she's lost control (2)

Shadowplay





To the centre of the city where all roads

meet looking for you

To the depths of the ocean

where all hopes sank searching for you

Moving through the silence without motion

waiting for you

In a room with no window in the corner,

I found truth





In the shadowplay, acting out your

own death, knowing more

As the assassins all grouped

in four lines,

Dancing on the floor,

And with cold steel, odour on their bodies,

made a move to connect

I could only stare in disbelief

as the crowds all left





I did everything, everything I wanted to

I let them use you -

for their own ends

To the centre of the city in night

waiting for you (2)

Wilderness





I traveled far and wide through many

different times

What did you see there?

I saw all knowledge destroyed





I traveled far and wide to prisons

of the cross

What did you see there?

The power and glory of sin

What did you see there?

The blood of Christ on their skins

I traveled far and wide through many 

different times





I traveled far and wide where

unknown martyrs died

I saw the one-sided trials

What did you see there?

I saw the tears as they cried

They had tears in their eyes!

Tears in their eyes! (3)

Interzone



I walked through city limits

Someone took me by the hand in the blue

Attracted by some force within it

If I could close my eyes,

I could get used to it

Around the corner where a puppet lay

Saw the place where she had a room to stay

A wire fence

where children play

Saw them dance where the body lay

And I was looking for a friend of mine

The car screeched in the sand

and dust

Feel encouraged -

just a car on it's side

Metallic blue turned red with rust

Pulled it close by the buildin's side

In a room for forgotten youth

I could think

or let my senses slide

Turned on to a night with you

Find the place where my friends, won't go

And I was looking for a friend of mine

and I had no time to lose

Yeah looking for some friends of mine

Down the dark street,

the houses looked the same

Stopped and turned around,

held me to a game

I walked round and round,

you nailed me to a tree

Trying to find a way,

trying to find a way, to get out

For twelve windows stand in a row

Behind a wall

where a room to go

The light shined like a neon show

See the deep mellow warmth

of the glow

No place to stop,

no place to go

No time to lose,

have to keep on going

I guess they died some time ago

I guess they died some time ago

And I was looking for a friend of mine

And I have no time to lose

Yeah, I was looking for a friend of mine

I Remember Nothing



We were strangers, we were strangers,

Away too long,

away too long

We were violent strangers,

away too long,

Get weak all the time,

we just passed the time

Me in my own world, yeah you there beside

The gaps only moment,

we stared from each side

We were strangers, away too long





Violent, more violent his hand

cracks the chair

Moves on reaction, then slumps,

in despair

Trapped in a cage and surrendered

too soon

Me in my own world

Away too long

We were strangers (2)

Away too long (2)
