1. Turn Up The Night

A rumble of thunder, I’m suddenly under your spell No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well The darkened deliver, I shake and I shiver down your soul You know what to cover, I think for another it’s a story told So get a good hold, yeah

Regiment fooled you, you thought that you knew who you are A simple equation, that’s the relation, but that’s gone too far A time of suspicion, a special condition that we all know So let it all go

Turn up the night Turn up the night Turn up the night, it feels so right

Nighttime sorrow, taken like a pain Black will not become a white, it’s all the same Evil lurks in twilight, dances in the dark Makes you need the movement, like a fire needs a spark to burn!

A rumble of thunder, I’m suddenly under your spell No rhyme or reason, or time of the season, but oh well The darkened deliver, I shake and I shiver down your soul So get a good hold, yeah

Turn up the night Turn up the night Turn up the night, it feels so right Turn up the night Turn up the night If it feels right Turn off the light Turn up the night

2. Voodoo

Say you don’t know me, you’ll burn You can refuse, but you’ll lose, it’s by me Say you don’t want me, you’ll learn Nothin’ you do will be new, ’cause I’m through

Call me a liar, you knew You were a fool, but that’s cool, it’s all right Call me the Devil, it’s true Some can’t accept but I crept inside you

So if a stranger calls you Don’t let him whisper his name Cause it’s Voodoo, oh

Fade into shadow, you’ll burn Your fortune is free, I can see it’s no good Never look back, never turn It’s a question of time till your mine and you learn

So if a stranger sees you Don’t look in his eyes Cause he’s Voodoo

Say you don’t know me, you’ll burn You can refuse, but you’ll lose, it’s by me Say you don’t want me, you’ll learn Nothin’ you do will be new, cause I’m through

Voodoo

Bring me your children, they’ll burn Never look back, never turn Cry me a river, you’ll learn Voodoo

3. The Sign Of The Southern Cross

If there isn’t light when no one sees Then how can I know what you might believe? A story told that can’t be real Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah

Fade away, fade away Vanish into small Fade away, fade away Break the crystal ball - oh

It’s the sign Feels like the time

On a small world, west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere all There’s a rainbow that will shimmer When the summer falls If an echo darts in dancer When it hears a certain song Then the beast is free to wander But never is seen around

And it’s the Sign of the Southern Cross It’s the Sign of the Southern Cross All right Sail away To the sign Ohh

From the book, the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten psalms Gather all around the young ones They will make us strong Reach above your dreams of pleasure Given life to those who died Look beyond your own horizons Sail the ship of signs

And it’s the Sign of the Southern Cross It’s the Sign of the Southern Cross Fade away, fade away Break the crystal ball Fade away, fade away I can’t accept it anymore

On a real world, west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere all There’s a rainbow, see it shimmer When the summer falls From the book, the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten psalms Gather all around the young ones They will make us strong

It’s the Sign of the Southern Cross It’s the Sign of the Southern Cross

Don’t live for pleasure Make life your treasure Fade away Eight miles high, about to fall And no one there to catch you Look for the sign, the time The Sign of the Southern Cross, yeah

5. The Mob Rules

Close the city and tell the people that something’s coming to call Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the wall, oh You’ve nothing to say They’re breaking away If you listen to fools The Mob Rules The Mob Rules

Kill the spirit and you’ll be blinded, the end is always the same Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, oh

It’s over, it’s done The end is begun If you listen to fools The Mob Rules

You’ve nothing to say Oh, They’re breaking away If you listen to fools

Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground Just remember it might start rolling and take you right back around

You’re all fools The Mob Rules

5. Country Girl

Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah

We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bits Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending Don’t sleep or you’ll find me gone, just an image in the air

In dreams I think of you I don’t know what to do with myself Time has let me down She brings broken dreams, fallen stars The endless search for where you are Sail on, sail on

Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh

Don’t sail away on a crimson tide Don’t leave your heart on the other side Her eyes are an endless flame Desire with a special name Don’t ever fall in love Don’t give your heart away No never, never fall in love with a country girl

7. Slipping Away

Slipping away, just a heartbeat from disaster Nothing could make me stay, close your eyes and I’ll be gone Turn the page, yeah, time to start another story Slipping away, slipping away, time to move along

No reason to stay Oh, when I’m slipping away

Take a look at yourself, you’ve been running in a circle Round and round you go, you’re a start without an end Start a new life, yeah, from the city of the gypsies Running away, slipping away, right behind the plow

Slipping away Slipping away Nobody to pay Look out, cause I’m slipping away

Rockin the glass, I won’t leave you my reflection A future without a past, no more road to take me back Come if you will, just don’t question my direction Running away, slipping away, we can find the sun

Slipping away Slipping away Got nobody to pay And you’re slipping away

No more running in a circle It’s time to move along Round, round, round we go A start without an end So I’m slipping away Slipping away

8. Falling Off The Edge Of The World

I think about closing the door And lately I think of it more I’m living well out of my time I feel like I’m losing my mind

I should be at the table round A servant of the crown The keeper of the sign To sparkle and to shine

Never, no never again Listen to me and believe what I say if you can Never, this is the end You know I’ve seen the faces of doom and I’m only a man Help me, tell me I’m sane I feel a change in the earth, in the wind and the rain Save me, take me away You know I’ve seen some creatures from hell and I’ve heard what they say

I’ve got to be strong Oh, I’m falling off the edge of the world Think you’re safe, but you’re wrong We are falling off the edge of the world

Look out! there’s danger no where to run It seems like desperate measures but sometimes it has to be done Over, it’s over at last There’s a message inside as we build a new life from the past

We’re falling off the edge of the world Yes, the edge of the world It’s the end of the world

9. Over And Over

Sometimes I feel like I’m dying at dawn And sometimes I’m warm as fire But lately I feel like I’m just gonna rain And it goes over, and over, and over again, yeah

Too many flames, with too much to burn And life’s only made of paper Oh, how I need to be free of this pain But it goes over, and over, and over, and over again

Yeah, sometimes I cry for the lost and alone And for their dreams that will all be ashes But lately I feel like I’m just gonna rain And it goes over, and over, and over, and over again
