Track Lyrics
Johnny Blade Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tortured and twisted, he walks the streets alone
People avoid him, they know the street's his home
Cold blade of silver, his eyes, they burn so wild
Mean as a tiger, society's own child
[Pre-Chorus]
Those that tried to burn him paid
You don't do that to Johnny Blade
[Chorus]
He's the meanest guy around his town
One look and he will cut you down
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade
[Verse 2]
Life has no meaning and Death's his only friend
Will fate surprise him, where will he meet his end?
He feels so bitter, yes, he's so full of hate
To die in the gutter, I guess that's Johnny's fate
[Pre-Chorus]
Rivals all across the land
He kills them with his knife in hand
[Chorus]
He's the meanest guy around his town
One look and he will cut you down
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade
Johnny Blade, Johnny Blade
[Bridge]
Well you know that Johnny's a spider
And his web is the city at night
He's a victim of modern frustration
That's the reason he's so ready to fight
He's the one who should be afraid
What will happen to you, Johnny Blade?
[Verse 3]
Oh, he knows his future's decided
And he ain't gonna change it, no way
He was born to die in the gutter
He'll keep fighting till the end of his days
[Bridge]
Been alone all through his life
His only friend is a switchblade knife
He's the one who should be afraid
What will happen to you, Johnny Blade?
[Outro]
You fool the people
Who's fooling who?
It's time to listen
The fool is you
[Guitar Solo]
Junior’s Eyes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Junior's eyes looked up to the skies in tears
He prayed that his maker, the giver and taker, would hear
Junior sighed as his hands reached out to the sky
Junior cried the day that his best friend died
Yeah!
[Chorus]
You're coming home again tomorrow
I'm sorry it won't be for long
With all the pain I've watched you live within
I'll try my hardest not to cry
When it is time to say goodbye
[Verse 2]
Junior's eyes, they couldn't disguise the pain
His father was leaving and Junior's grieving again
Innocent eyes watched the man who gave everything
Junior's sorrow, he knew what tomorrow would bring
Yeah!
[Chorus]
They're coming home again tomorrow
I'm sorry it won't be for long
With all the pain I've watched you live within
I'll try my hardest not to cry
When it is time to say goodbye
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
Junior's eyes looked into the skies once more
Now he knew well, this life was hell for sure
He desperately tried, his fingertips stretched to the stars, yeah
Reaching for reason, along with the time and the scars
Yeah!
[Chorus]
You're coming home again tomorrow
I'm sorry it won't be for long
With all the pain I've watched you live within
I'll try my hardest not to cry
When it is time to say goodbye
Shock Wave Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's no reason for you to run
You can't escape the fate of the chosen one
Black moon rising, in a blood red sky
This time you realise that you're gonna die
Freezing your body is your answer
That's what you plan to do
Floating in time you cheat this master
You're on your own going through
Wind of mist has taken over your mind
And you think you're on your own
Don't believe you are the only one here
Look around, you're not alone
[Chorus]
Feel the forces from another world
Ghostly shadows fill your mind
Evil power hanging over you
As you freeze, you're like a child
(Look behind) Look behind you!
[Verse 2]
Somebody's calling, someone is near
Feel yourself falling, falling with fear
You tell yourself you're dreaming
You realise you're screaming
You know that this shouldn't happen to you
You tell yourself that it just can't be true
But there is nothing you can do, oh!
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Ghostly shadows from the other world
Evil forces in your mind
Trapped between the worlds of life and death
Frozen in the realms of time
(Look behind) Look behind you!
[Outro]
You feel yourself falling, you're at the end of the line
Your body is crawling, but your senses are blind
Cold, cold feelings are running through your brains
Ice cold fingers, flowing through your veins
Over to You Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Born in a window
Nobody's fool
Raised in a prison
You called a school
Taught your religion
Told what to do
I handed my childhood
Over to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Traveling endlessly, I'm searching for mind
I'm almost afraid of what I will find
Wandering aimlessly, oh, what can I do?
I handed my future over to you, to you
[Chorus]
Over to you
Future looks blue
What can I do?
[Verse 2]
Working for freedom
Fighting your wars
Feeding our children
Keeping your laws
Someday you’ll suffer
Then what I’ll do
I’ll hand all your promises
Over to you
[Pre-Chorus]
Standing inside myself, I'm losing control
You made me believe in the stories you told
Waiting impatiently, what else can I do?
I handed my future over to you, to you
[Chorus]
Over to you
Future looks blue
What can I do?
[Verse 3]
Tears full of sadness
Sealed in my cell
Whispering secrets
What do they tell?
Mad politicians
Can’t tell it true
I handed my children
Over to you
[Outro]
All over, over to you
All over, over to you
All over, over to you
All over, over to you...
Swinging the Chain Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's against my uniform
To be a civil judge
All the songs are history now
'Bout rock stars and their grudge
Let us cast our minds back
To thirty years or more
You talk of all the vandals
Well Hitler beat 'em all
[Chorus]
And we're sad and sorry
We're really sorry that it happened that way
Yes, we're so, so sorry
But why'd you have to treat us that way?
[Verse 2]
Compare ourselves with others
And cover them in sin
Oh God what a terrible
A terrible state we're in
There must be some way out of here
A compromise that's right
If we cannot work it out
We're gonna have to fight
[Chorus]
And we're so sorry
We're really sorry that it happened that way
Yes, we're sad and sorry
We cannot go on in those days
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge]
I'm talking about my brothers
Yeah, I'm talking 'bout sisters as well
And I wish you good luck
Good luck
[Harmonica Solo]
[Outro]
Oh, but the world's still on fire
(You gotta believe it, you gotta believe it, you better believe it, you gotta believe it)
Chain the hope you take on, liar
(You better believe it, you gotta believe it, you better believe it, you gotta believe it)
This fire
(You gotta believe it, you better believe it, you gotta believe it, you gotta believe it)
We're on fire, we're on fire
(You better believe it, you gotta believe it, you gotta believe it, you gotta believe it)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(You better believe it, you gotta believe it, you gotta believe it, you gotta believe it...)
