Fighting my fight is just an illusion To force me to an early grave The shadows I wear, they consume me For I am too smart to die They try to pull me under I fight back but their grip is too tight Eyes are red, my heart's pounding Fight the urge to just throw it all away Fight for life, not for death Fight for life, from day one Fight for life, not for death Fight for your right to be free I will fight against you in vain Bringing signs of searing pain I'll always want to fight Fighting for our rights I'll bring the fight too you Ends up like a fucking zoo It's the death of the truth Killing all of our youth Fight for life, not for death Fight for life, from day one Fight for life, not for death Fight for your right to be free (SOLO) Fight for life, not for death Fight for life, from day one Fight for life, not for death Fight for your right to be free Fight for life, not for death Fight for life, from day one Fight for life, not for death Fight for your right to be free

I feel the fear in your eyes Your words took me by suprise I haunt the night, a shadow in human shape They fear my presence and start their escape The cold is coming, the fear is growing Brighter than the stars tonight The fear is on the way No one can avoid it today Your soul they came to steal Rise without an ounce of fear Do you dream about what could be? When you took my name and agreed You always knew the right thing to say Making me what I am today The cold is coming, the fear is growing Brighter than the stars tonight The fear is on the way No one can avoid it today Your soul they came to steal Rise without an ounce of fear (SOLO) The fear is on the way No one can avoid it today Your soul they came to steal Rise without an ounce of fear The fear is on the way No one can avoid it today Your soul they came to steal Rise without an ounce of fear

All my life I wore a mask Too afraid to do the task Afraid to cry when things go wrong The chains around your soul too strong This life's a game you never win I don't know where to begin Alone we've got nothing Loneliness is a deep black hole I walk alone while you're still running Loneliness is a deep black hole My years of silence are in vain It's slowly making me insane My screams will never be alone Among all the suffering in town All alone with no place to run Missing out on all of the fun Alone we've got nothing Loneliness is a deep black hole I walk alone while you're still running Loneliness is a deep black hole (SOLO) Alone we've got nothing Loneliness is a deep black hole I walk alone while you're still running Loneliness is a deep black hole Alone we've got nothing Loneliness is a deep black hole I walk alone while you're still running Loneliness is a deep black hole Alone we've got nothing Loneliness is a deep black hole I walk alone while you're still running Got to be strong, but not alone!

There must be something hidden in our souls We always have the need to take control Everything is silent, but everything is right Something is entering your soul tonight Every day becomes a nightmare Barely able to belong I want to escape from this nightmare Why is this night taking so long? Every day becomes a nightmare Never again may this nightmare return I'll try my very best to learn I listen to your nightmare Hold onto your trembling hands We all live in constant fear As we sleep together here Why is this night taking so long? Every day becomes a nightmare Barely able to belong I want to escape from this nightmare Why is this night taking so long? Every day becomes a nightmare Never again may this nightmare return I'll try my very best to learn (SOLO) Wake me up! Wake me up! From this nightmare, living dead Wake me up! Wake me up! Before this nightmare becomes reality Every day becomes a nightmare Barely able to belong I want to escape from this nightmare Why is this night taking so long? Every day becomes a nightmare Never again may this nightmare return I'll try my very best to learn Wake me up! Wake me up! From this nightmare, living dead

A distant trumpet is heard Singing of the coming storm The waves on the sea are calling As the dark clouds are falling I see the light in the eye of the storm If we can live, if we can fly, if we can stand in the eye of a storm Once again I find myself in this hurricane If we can live, if we can fly, if we are standing in the eye of the storm Trying to make my way through In the eye of a storm In the eye of a storm I am in a race with the storm I wanna feel this atmosphere Left all alone in the cold dark night As this storm streams through I see the light in the eye of the storm If we can live, if we can fly, if we can stand in the eye of a storm Once again I find myself in this hurricane If we can live, if we can fly, if we are standing in the eye of the storm Trying to make my way through In the eye of a storm In the eye of a storm (SOLO) If we can live, if we can fly, if we can stand in the eye of a storm Once again I find myself in this hurricane If we can live, if we can fly, if we are standing in the eye of the storm Trying to make my way through In the eye of a storm In the eye of a storm

Sometimes it's nice Sometimes it's bad Sometimes it's sunny outside Sometimes it's rainy all day Sometimes it's hot as hell Sometimes it's freezing cold I wish that I could choose my life When you're born you have no life You have no control at all I wish that I had no regrets It's too late to back down now Your final destiny is set This is the roller coaster of your life Going round and round and up and down again This is the roller coaster of your life Just hanging on the best you can Until the day you go and die Sometimes my life feels so hard Sometimes I feel so glad Sometimes I stay up all night Sometimes I sleep all through the day Sometimes I love to talk Going outside on a walk I wish that I could choose my life When you're born you have no life You have no control at all I wish that I had no regrets It's too late to back down now Your final destiny is set This is the roller coaster of your life Going round and round and up and down again This is the roller coaster of your life Just hanging on the best you can Until the day you go and die The roller coaster of your life (SOLO) This is the roller coaster of your life Going round and round and up and down again This is the roller coaster of your life Just hanging on the best you can Until the day you go and die The roller coaster of your life

The night is dark, the moon is full Shadows dancing like ghostly shapes The wind is howling, like a distant owl Someone walking in a dark cowl The night feels so endlessly long Feels like you don't belong Someone's stealing your soul tonight You're loosing all control When you meet your darkest fear All you know becomes more clear And when you're feeling every nerve Will you get what you deserve? Under the shadow of these ancient trees The place where flowers fade away The shadows cast on the wall On the castle standing high and tall The shadow is slowly dying As the dawn is drifting through the trees When the morning breaks at last The fear remains in the past When you meet your darkest fear All you know becomes more clear And when you're feeling every nerve Will you get what you deserve? (SOLO) The shadow is slowly dying As the dawn is drifting through the trees When the morning breaks at last The fear remains in the past When you meet your darkest fear All you know becomes more clear And when you're feeling every nerve Will you get what you deserve? When you meet your darkest fear (Meet your darkest fear) All you know becomes more clear (Becomes more clear) And when you're feeling every nerve (You're feeling every nerve) Will you get what you deserve?

Lonely home Empty rooms and walls All these days of sorrow The truth is to hard to swallow Unbearable pain growing inside In this prison cell of mine Endless days with hurt and pain Making me go insane (Go insane) My pain's too strong to handle Like poison, spreading in my brain The agony, it's killing me Like poison, leaving me in pain My pain's too strong to handle Like poison, spreading in my brain The agony, it's killing me Like poison, leaving me in pain All the pain and anxious cries I'm locked inside til I die I feel nothing, nothing but pain Through the night until the church bells chime Another soul that bleeds in sorrow Dreaming of a painless tomorrow (Painless tomorrow) My pain's too strong to handle Like poison, spreading in my brain The agony, it's killing me Like poison, leaving me in pain My pain's too strong to handle Like poison, spreading in my brain The agony, it's killing me Like poison, leaving me in pain (SOLO) My pain's too strong to handle Like poison, spreading in my brain The agony, it's killing me Like poison, leaving me in pain My pain's too strong to handle Like poison, spreading in my brain The agony, it's killing me Like poison, leaving me in pain

To the one who is king of the world I am standing with your mighty horde Waiting for an attack to break down the walls Let's meet up before the battle horn calls We will go forth from the land of the king Waiting for the trumpets to sing This is a battle we shall win We are the warriors We will survive The battle for freedom The battle of the ages We are the warriors We will survive The battle for freedom The battle of the ages This is the time to set things right Bring out the knights and go to the fight The battle has begun, it's no longer a game So don't bow down your head in shame The sun will rise when the battle is won And shine on those who are still staying strong When the battle dies down We are the warriors We will survive The battle for freedom The battle of the ages We are the warriors We will survive The battle for freedom The battle of the ages (SOLO) We are the warriors We will survive The battle for freedom The battle of the ages We are the warriors We will survive The battle for freedom The battle of the ages We are the warriors We will survive The battle for freedom The battle of the ages We are the warriors We will survive The battle for freedom The battle of the ages

Lost in the night, chasing a vision No one knows my secret mission I walk alone, just like all the rest Put me up to my final test I wanna change the future, not the past Looks like tomorrow is coming on fast Let us look into the future Now there is a future to see What is the past and what is the future Now there is a future to feel I see my future, it's looking bright The world's my oyster, I'm gonna take a bite Got no future, got no past Make my future on a hell of a path Let us look into the future Now there is a future to see What is the past and what is the future Now there is a future to feel (SOLO) Every action made for the last time On my road into the future More than the past I leave behind On the road into the future Let us look into the future Now there is a future to see What is the past and what is the future Now there is a future to feel Let us look into the future Now there is a future to see What is the past and what is the future Now there is a future to feel

I am looking at the millions of stars above It feels strange that we are a part of this universe But if we don't do something about all this damaging of the world It won't last much longer This world is for all of us Stop the destruction of the world Let's stand together and do something good Stop the fighting, stop the killing This world is here for all of us Stop the destruction of the world The rainforest is here to stay Lets stand together all people And do our best to save this world If we are looking at the situation of our time With all the damage and toxic solution If we are going on with all this racism Between all the races, it will be a faulty world Remember this is our only world This world is for all of us Stop the destruction of the world Let's stand together and do something good Stop the fighting, stop the killing This world is here for all of us Stop the destruction of the world The rainforest is here to stay Lets stand together all people And do our best to save this world (SOLO) All the people should be equal Stand together as one big family The extermination is almost done We have to open our eyes All the people should be equal Stand together as one big family The extermination is almost done We have to open our eyes before it's gone Before it's gone Before it's gone

All alone in this dark and filthy room Outside the clouds are covering up the moon I want out, but I'm chained to this wall All alone with no one else to call I want out! I'm tired of this life! Unchain me now! Can someone tell me how? Is there hope for me in this life? I'm only skin and bones! And my heart is like a stone! A table covered with pills and alcohol A spider crawling up and down the wall Rats are running around and around my bed Feel their heat against my very head I want out! I'm tired of this life! Unchain me now! Can someone tell me how? Is there hope for me in this life? I'm only skin and bones! And my heart is like a stone! (SOLO) I want out! I'm tired of this life! Unchain me now! Can someone tell me how? Is there hope for me in this life? I'm only skin and bones! And my heart is like a stone! I want out! I'm tired of this life! Unchain me now! Can someone tell me how? Is there hope for me in this life? I'm only skin and bones! And my heart is like a stone!

I can feel every nerve in my body Crawling inside and making me hurt I hear all your hurtful words behind my back Your eyes are piercing me in the neck Why can't you be kind and not that blind You're hurting my soul that makes me whole Why can't you include me in your life Nothing more and nothing less All I try is learn from your mistakes But through your own eyes you live the perfect life Please give me a break, so I can show you the truth I try my best, so don't let me fall again Why can't you be kind and not that blind You're hurting my soul that makes me whole Why can't you include me in your life Nothing more and nothing less (SOLO) There's no sense in playing tough I'll hang on the best I can Will I ever be good enough? Will my life ever measure up? Why can't you be kind and not that blind You're hurting my soul that makes me whole Why can't you include me in your life Nothing more and nothing less Na,Na,Na,Na........... Why can't you be kind, and not that blind You're hurting my soul Nothing more and nothing less Na,Na,Na,Na...........
