1. Stand Up And Shout

It’s the same old song You’ve Gotta be somewhere at sometime They never let you fly

It’s like broken glass You get cut before you see it So open up your eyes

You’ve got desire So let it out You’ve got the fire So stand up and shout. shout You’ve got wings of steel But they never really move you You only seem to crawl

You’ve been nailed to the wheel But never really turning You know You’ve got to want it all

You’ve got desire So let it out You’ve got the fire So stand up and shout. shout

You are the strongest chain And not just some reflection So never Hide again

You are the driver You own the road So are the fire go on explode

You’ve got desire So let it out You’ve got the fire So stand up and shout. shout

2. Holy Diver

Holy Diver You been down too long in the midnight sea Oh what’s becoming of me

Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he’s clean Oh Don’t you see what I mean

Gotta get away Holy Diver

Shiny Diamonds Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue Something is coming for you

Race for the morning You can hide in the sun till you see the light Oh we will pray it’s all right

Gotta get away-get away

Between the velvet lies There’s a truth that’s hard as steel The vision never dies Life’s a never ending wheel

Holy Diver You’re the star of the masquerade No need to look so afraid

Jump on the Tiger You can feel His heart but you know he’s mean Some light can never be seen

3. Gypsy

She was straight from hell But you never could tell Case you were blinded by her light

She could crack your brain With magic pain And turn a paler shade of white

I was on the free Just me and me And just about to sail

When I heard the voice Said You got a choice The hammer or the nail

You’ll be riding You’ll be riding on the gypsy

Well I rolled the bones To see Who’d own My mind and what’s within

Well it’s a given rule That We’re all fools AMD will need to have a little sin

So I’m Rodin I’ve been riding on the gypsy On the Gypsy queen

She was straight from hell But you never could tell Case you were blinded by her light

So she cracked my brain With magic pain And turned my left around to right right

So I’m riding Yes I’m riding I’m still riding on the gypsy On the gypsy queen

4. Caught In The Middle

Looking inside of yourself You might see someone you don’t know Maybe it’s just what you need Letting the river in you flow

You can sail away to the sun And let it burn you while you can Or walk a long bloody road Like the hero who never ran

You’ll feel it You’ll feel it You’ll feel the rush of it all

Flying away into the clouds You know you’re losing your control Finding your way in the dark Like some poor forgotten soul

You’ll feel it You’ll see it You’ll feel the rush of the city lights You’ll feel it I see it in your eyes you’re

Caught in the middle Just like the way you’ve always been Caught in the middle Helpless again

Looking inside of yourself You might see someone you don’t know Maybe it’s just what you need Letting the river I know that’s in you flow

You’ll feel it You’ll see it You’ll feel the rush of the thunder You’ll feel it I see it in your eyes you’re

Caught in the middle Just like the way you’ve always been Caught in the middle Helpless again

5. Don’t Talk To Strangers

Don’t talk to strangers Cause they’re only there to do you harm Don’t write in starlight Cause the words may come out real Don’t hide in doorways You may find the key that opens up your soul Don’t go to heaven cause it’s really only Hell Don’t smell the flowers They’re an evil drug to make you lose your mind

Hey you know me You’ve touched I’m real I’m forever the one who lets you look and see and Feel me I’m danger - I’m the stranger

I’m darkness I’m anger I’m pain I am master The evil song you sing inside your brain Make you inside

Don’t dance in darkness You may stumble and you’re sure to fall Don’t write in starlight Cause the words may come out real

Don’t talk to strangers Cause they’re only there to do you harm Don’t dream of women Cause They’ll only bring you down

5. Straight Through The Heart

Hanging from the cobwebs in you mind It looks like a long long way to fall No one ever told me life was kind I guess I never heard it, never heard it all

Living in a world of make believe I can hide behind what’s real But wearing your emotions on your sleeve And they all know what you feel

And here it comes again Straight through the heart Never tell a secret with your eyes It’s the eyes that let you down Tell a little truth with many lies It’s the only way I’ve found

Oh here it comes again Straight through the heart

Shout to the wind How can you hurt me this way Oh once it begins It looks like it’s coming to stay

Hanging from the cobwebs in your mind It looks like a long long way to fall No one ever told me life was kind Guess I never heard it, never heard it all

Here it comes again Straight through the heart

7. Invisible

If your circle stays unbroken Then you’re a lucky man Cause it never, never, never has for me

In the palace of the virgin Lies the chalice of the soul And it’s likely you might find the answer there

She had fourteen years of teenage tears And never a helping hand She had fourteen more of rain before She saw the sight of land She was a photograph just ripped in half A smile inside a frown And the the light the answer right Inside her coming down

I can go away I can leave here I can be invisible

He was just eighteen and in between A lady and a man His daddy’s girl in momma’s world And that was when he ran You know the word confused has been abused But that’s just what he was And then the spark inside the dark The answer came because it said

You can go away You can leave here You can be invisible

Well I grew up quick and I felt the kick Of life upon a stage So I bought the book and took a fast look At just the very last page It was a single word that I’d just heard From the two that came before The only way to really stay Is to walk right out the door

You can go away You can leave here You can be invisible

You can go away You can leave here You can be invisible

You can go away Lord you know it’s right to leave here So I just become invisible

8. Rainbow In The Dark

When there’s lightning it always bring me down Cause it’s free and I see that it’s me Who’s lost and never found I cry for magic I feel it dancing in the light But it was cold I lost my hold To the shadows of the night

There’s no sign of the morning coming You’ve been left on your own Like a Rainbow in the Dark Do your demons do they ever let you go When you’ve tried do they hide deep inside Is it someone that you know You’re a picture just an image caught in time We’re a lie you and I We’re words without a rhyme

There’s no sign of the morning coming You’ve been left on your own Like a Rainbow in the Dark

When there’s lightning it always brings me down Cause it’s free and I see that it’s me Who’s lost and never found Fell the magic fell it dancing in the air But it’s fear and you’ll hear It calling you beware

There’s no sign of the morning coming There’s no sight of the day You’ve been left on your own Like a Rainbow in the Dark

9. Shame On The Night

Shame on the night For places I’ve been And what I’ve seen For giving me the strangest dreams But you never really know just what they mean So oh shame on the night

Shame on you You’ve stolen the day Snatched it away But I saw the sky An I never want to die Now you know the reason why Oh shame on the night You don’t care what you’ve done So I think I’d better run

Shame on the sun For the light you sold I’ve lost my hold On the magic flame But now I know your name Oh lord just go the way you came again Oh shame on the night

You don’t care what you’ve done So I know I’d better run

You don’t care what you’ve done Here I go I’ve got to run
