The Illusion of Power Lyrics
[Verse 1: Tony Martin]
What is it that turns you on to the illusion of power?
This thing that grabs you by the heart and makes you want to tear things down
There is no reason why I should need all this power
But if you cross me now, I'm gonna tear your whole world down
[Chorus: Tony Martin, Martin & Ice-T]
Illusion of power
Things that I feel seem so real
Illusion of power
[Verse 2: Tony Martin]
I can't get the emotional thing straight in my head
Everything I love dies too soon or is already dead
Don't stand too close, I spit and breathe fire
Anything I've got now you cannot desire
You wanna be my friend, I promise you nothing
Nothing I can give you, nothing I can do for you
I'm being chased by the sins of my past and it's killing me now
Killing me now
[Chorus: Tony Martin, Martin & Ice-T]
Illusion of power
Things that I feel seem so real
Illusion of power
Illusion of power
It's already set, signed and sealed
Illusion of power
[Bridge 1: Ice-T]
Powerful, who are you fooling?
You're caught in a complex catacomb of your own inadequacies and pitiful weaknesses
Your soul secretes insecurity
So you live on the reflection side of the mirror
You're terrified of true power, you fear me
[Bridge 2: Tony Martin]
I can tell you stories of my shaded past
And I can drag you down into the depths of my soul
[Chorus: Tony Martin, Martin & Ice-T]
Illusion of power
Things that I feel seem so real
Illusion of power
Illusion of power
It's already set, signed and sealed
Illusion of power
[Outro: Tony Martin]
Why don't you come closer?
Promise a story I will tell, yeah
I'll save you from your dreams, yeah
Save you from your dreams
It's illusion
Just an illusion
Illusion
Just an illusion
Shaking Off the Chains Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Is life everything you want it to be?
Does it give you everything that you need?
Does it live up to your expectations?
Are you ready for the celebrations?
[Pre-Chorus]
This is not for the weak of mind
Are you sure that you're my kind?
Do you want to be part of me?
Are you sure that you can really see?
[Verse 2]
Are you chained to a life you don't want?
Is it hard for you to find a way out?
Can you live without the love that you need?
Are you sure that what you have is so real?
[Pre-Chorus]
This is not for the weak of mind
Are you sure that you're my kind?
Do you want to be part of me?
Are you sure that you can really see?
[Chorus 1]
All of your life, they try to take your cover
Turn you into another and make you change your name
When you fall, it's up to you to recover
You can't depend on another to help you with the pain, yeah
[Bridge]
I'm shaking off the chains
I'm shaking off the chains
[Pre-Chorus]
This is not for the weak of mind
Are you sure that you're my kind?
Do you want to be part of me?
Are you sure that you can really see?
[Chorus 2]
In the night, you say that things are falling
People always calling, calling out your name
What do you know, a face appears at the window
Tapping on that window, the window of your soul
[Outro]
I'm shaking off the chains
I'm tired of all the pain
I'm shaking off the chains
Let me live again
Shaking off the chains
Shaking off the chains
[Guitar Solo]
Guilty as Hell Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Step back and look at you and tell me that is what you want to be
You realise that what you're seeing is a replica of me
[Verse 2]
Inside my world is pretty grim that even I can't survive in
I wouldn't try 'cause I know you
[Chorus]
Deep inside you know you're guilty as Hell
Deep inside you know you're guilty as Hell
[Verse 3]
You realise that what you see is just a replica of me
Only me
[Verse 4]
Oh, it makes no difference if you're the only one
It doesn't matter when all is said and done
Gonna feel the shame, God will put the blame on you
Oh yeah
[Verse 5]
If I was you, if I was you, I'd wanna see
I'd wanna see inside my head
I'd wanna know if I was fucking dead
I'd wanna know what's going on
Someone tell me the truth
[Outro]
There's no fear in a fallen angel
There's no love in a heart made of stone
There's no truth in a heart that is screaming
Deep inside, you're as guilty as Hell
There's no fear in a fallen angel
There's no love in a heart made of stone
There's no truth in a heart that is screaming
Deep inside, you're as guilty as Hell
You're guilty
Forbidden Lyrics
[Verse 1]
If I had to live again, I'd change everything
'Cause everything I do, you know that I can't win
You say it isn't right but you say it isn't wrong
How the Hell am I supposed to please everyone?
[Verse 2]
Tell me what it is that I'm supposed to do, yeah
I ain't here for everybody but I am here for you
You said it isn't right but you said it isn't wrong
Wish somebody could tell me what it is that I've done wrong
[Chorus]
Best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me
Every time you shout, "Forbidden," makes me wonder what you see
Best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me
Every time you shout, "Forbidden," makes me wonder what you see
[Post-Chorus]
You know it's gonna get you now
And you know it starts to bring you down
[Verse 3]
Tell me what it is that I'm supposed to do, yeah
I ain't here for everybody but I am here for you
It seems I have to fight for all the things I want
Wish somebody could tell me what it is that I've done wrong
[Chorus]
Best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me
Every time you shout, "Forbidden," makes me wonder what you see
The best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me
Every time you shout, "Forbidden," makes me wonder what you see
[Bridge]
Ugh
It's forbidden
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
The best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me
Every time you shout, "Forbidden," makes me wonder what you see
Best things in life aren't given, these things ain't for you and me
Every time you shout, "Forbidden," makes me wonder what you see
[Outro]
Ugh
Makes me wonder what you see, yeah
Kiss of Death Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This is no ordinary soul that you're destroying
Just another life that drifts along with the sands of time
We tried to show you on your way, but still
You cannot see, you're hurting me
You told too many lies and so it ends, yeah
[Verse 2]
You tried to touch me but then I knew your plan
You tried to take my world away, oh no
Now I see it, it's as clear as day
No, you'll never stand a chance
Oh no, you'll never stand a chance
[Verse 3]
You tried to lead me to the land where you keep your lies
But I've seen this road before, oh yeah
There is no reason why I should listen now
No, you'll never stand a chance
Oh no, you'll never stand a chance
[Pre-Chorus]
So many people tried before
But still I came through stronger than before
Someone like you could never get through my door no more
[Chorus]
Nothing you can do will hurt me
I am indestructible
Nothing you can do will hurt me
I am indestructible, yeah
[Bridge]
Every lie that you tell, you get closer
Closer to the edge of the cauldron and into the fire, yeah
Every life you destroy will return
It will come back and haunt you forever and ever
[Chorus]
Nothing you can do will hurt me
I am indestructible
Nothing you can do will hurt me
I am indestructible, yeah
[Outro]
This is no ordinary soul that you're destroying
Just another life that drifts along with the sands of time
