Lyrics

Fates Warning

Looking out towards the west, I watch the sun as it starts to set

Looking back to the east, the cities in ruins, the flames confess

The hatred of man for man, men of nations war all across the lands

I tell you something's coming this way, neither beast nor man but evil in its plan

CHORUS - Fates warning called out years ago from a time that’s past

There’s nowhere to hide, it screams out, moving in way too fast

Looking up I see the stars aligned, told we’ve come to the end of times

Earth bound rulers start to stumble, empires fall, the faith of man it crumbles

Men divided close their eyes, to see only blackness before they die

Evil spreads throughout the lands, what have we done, it’s the sins of man

LONG CHORUS - Fates warning called out years ago from a time that’s past

There’s nowhere to hide, it screams out, moving in way too fast

Rising from the hate, this is man’s fate, darkness covers the sun

From the dragon the power is given, something wicked this way comes

To the east the dawn is rising, a light so bright, that it’s almost blinding

Cry of command, the archangel’s call, the sound of trumpet and evil will fall

We must believe, we must keep the faith

Although many must die, this war was our fate

To stand as one, as brothers in arms, until this final battle and all is won

LONG CHORUS

Something wicked this way comes

Fates Warning

GONE

The fuse is lit, and your time is short

You've placed your bet, hope you don't get caught

Headed down the runway, looking for that place to roam

Hope to do it my way and leave this place alone

CHORUS - Call a timeout on the future, looking for something more

My minds in a suitcase, with two feet out the door, and I'm gone, I'm gone

The spread is quick, you must be strong

Break the glass, be the first to draw

Open up the envelope and look inside the truth

Never fear to question what the hell we're trying to do

LONG CHORUS - Call a timeout on the future, looking for something more

My minds in a suitcase, with two feet out the door

Don't know what I can tell ya, only know what I see

Won't cast aside or trivialize, I know just how I feel, and I'm gone, I'm gone

Your mind is set, have no fear

You placed your bet, now the coast is clear

You landed on the runway and you found that place to roam

Gone and done it your way, now you know that you belong

LONG CHORUS

I’m gone, I’m gone, gone

EVIL WAYS

I wrote down some things, I should of said, but didn't

Things found in emotion, I should of hid, but I didn't

Didn't come all this way, just to be cruel to ya

You shoot your stares at me, but I outdrew ya, fooled ya

PRE CHORUS - What it is, you're trying to say, I don't know for sure

But it feel like your heart is waning, well I've got the cure

CHORUS - Things break down, doors start locking, you turn away

you start running away, talking about your evil ways

Well caught in your evil

Looking back on your memory, once so pure, obscure now

Time will heal the wounds that you'll endure now, somehow

You're talking at me with your venomous words, speak of the devil

I'm winning the argument but driving the hearse, now that it's settled

PRE CHORUS

CHORUS X 2

Come back now darlin, don't close the door

My heart is warming, and my aim is pure

CHORUS X 2

Well caught in your evil ways, well caught in your evil ways

SMOKE THE SKY

I’ve been blind forever, the sun scratched my eyes

It’s now or never, time to draw the line

I’ve been looking for something, I need sight for the blind

Truth stands for nothing, you gotta read between the lies

PRE CHORUS - This is the last time, I’m going to do it again

Gonna get my money before it’s spent, gonna get my money before it’s spent

CHORUS - Here’s your chance, you gotta roll that dice

Take a shot, you gotta smoke the sky

Riding into the sunset, I feel the weight of the sun

I got the mirror behind me, and my future’s on the run

I’m not looking for trouble, I’m trying to find my way

Half of nothing is nothing, so tell me how do I get paid?

PRE CHORUS

CHORUS

The curse might be lifted but its still got a hold

The noose may surround me but it’s grip its getting old

I now feel the sunshine, It gives sight to the blind

It’s time for emotion, now it’s time to smoke the sky

PRE CHORUS

Gonna keep on running all through the night

Gonna keep on pushing ‘til the morning sees the light

keep going ‘til the morning sees the light

CHORUS X 2

Smoke the sky, smoke the sky, smoke the sky

OATHBREAKER

In the mist I saw you there, as someone I had known

But when the clouds had lifted, you were standing all alone

I had tried, to put some sense in your mind

But what it cost, it’s now all lost and we are left behind

Something in my mind, telling me it’s time, down the road I go

You don't really care, about the feelings everywhere

They're somewhere down a rabbit hole

So let's run away tonight, turn darkness into light, we'll fly to the castle

It's something in your mind, and do you cross the line?

To the battle down below

Can't stop the feeling, it won't go away

Won't stop believing, even though the feeling stays

Can't stop the feeling, it won't go away

My sense is reeling, pull ahead or stay the same

Paint it right or wrong the message, or the song, do you know what I'm saying?

Whether right or wrong, you knew it all along

It's an oath that you're breaking

Tell me why are you praying? is your crime worth paying?

Now I know why you're praying, it's an oath that you're breaking

In the mist I saw you there

Oathbreaker

RAT RACE

Still alive here in '95, it's the toughest one that we've had yet

Dog eat dog, the only way so far, but it's our only bet

CHORUS - Easy road free, never meant for me, cause here I go again

Back in the rat race, back in the rat race, back in the rat race

Lifestyles takin’, it's the one who's making me go

Back in the rat race, back in the rat race, back in the rat race

Sell some crack and tax your momma’s back, the honest cheats unfold

Losers sin, they race they never win, my heart’s long been sold

CHORUS

Go!

Rush hour hell, I bid you well, say goodbye just wait and see

Judgement day, did I hear you say? Cause that's the price you'll pay!

CHORUS

Lifestyles takin’, it's the one who's making me go

Go!

MONSTER

Full moons rising and I hear the scream, I hear the howl

Something in the bushes behind me, moved just now

When we park in the dark, I can hear a raspy breathe

Whisper in your ear can you taste that kiss of death

Night fall, bugs crawl, pace quickens and the plot thickens

There’s no one here but the fear, count you in with me my dear

CHORUS - Monster, you're a killer, you're a thriller, you're a scary dream

Killer, you're a thriller, you're a dealer of blood and screams

Frightmare, nightmare, cold stare, do you dare fight the monster

This killer, this thriller, bodies piled up, dig a hole deep and push ‘em in

Yeah let’s begin

Creatures from hellfires dance and twist in the mist

Shadowy dark figures rise from the flaming abyss

Black on black is the night, no light, no line of sight

Eyes creep up behind me from a cold black night

CHORUS

My back’s to the wall, my skin cold, it starts to crawl

I run through the bushes into webs I turn and spiders fall

No doubt, there’s no way out for you and me

Let’s get one thing straight, I didn’t sign up for this killing spree

CHORUS

Monster, he's a killer

Monster, he's a thriller

Monster, he's a killer

Monster, he's gonna get ya

BORN AGAIN

Come on everybody, ya got to let me know

If you want to love me, well you got to let it show

Cause you know what I'm thinking, you know what I want

So make a stance, and take a chance, it's time to let it roll

CHORUS - This train is rolling, rolling right on through

Storm might be raging, but it won't get to you

No use complaining, no one listens to ya

You're on the verge and you're trying to break through

Whether first or last, don't look to the past

Know you're meant to last, you're born again

On the run, ya baby having fun, know that you're the one

You're born again

Sundown in the city, night rolling up the sky

And you're more than ready, to light up the night

Feel the pressure burning, deep inside of ya

So take a chance, it's time to dance, and make those dreams come true

CHORUS

Let every word be spoken, let every note be heard

Never wait or hesitate, cause you gotta speak the word

There's no second chances, you gotta lie in the bed you make

So make a stance, and take a chance

Cause the future's yours to take

CHORUS

Born again, born again, born again, born again, born again

HOPE

Outside the rain keeps pouring down

Just when I thought my feet had hit the ground

Good things come to those who wait, but I can’t wait another day

PRE CHORUS - Cause, my mind is set, it’s open season

The lies are met and I’m looking for the reason

Don’t know what I’m really doing here, I just know I gotta get outta here

Right there, right there in front of me, are the odds there that I got to beat

I know what’s in front of me, the futures here and it’s staring back at me

CHORUS - Right now it’s really coming down and it feels like a month of Sundays

Don’t know which way it’s gonna go but I know it ain’t going my way

So give me some hope

Sometimes things aren't what they appear

Time to put the past back in the rear view mirror

So seize the day, don’t you hesitate, cause I can’t wait another day

PRE CHORUS

CHORUS

Down the drain, there it goes, got no answers, got no soul

I'm in the rain and you need to know, you keep me one rung from the rope

You give me hope

Can’t say what, I really believe in

Just know I can trust my inner feelings

You say I’ve been forsaken, but I think I’ve just awakened

Right now it’s really coming down and it feels like a month of Sundays

Don’t know which way it’s gonna go but I feel it's gonna turn out my way

If it comes, if it goes, there’s one thing I want you to know

Of all the things you gave to me, the best of all is one that you can’t see

You gave me hope, a little hope now

You gave me hope, a little hope now

For my mother, for my brother, for your sister, for our friend

For those surviving, living or dying, for those who fought until the end

We give you hope

We give you hope

TUNE ATTACK

Born to lose, where’s the booze, well hop in baby, let's cruise, I’ve paid my dues and the work is done, let’s go out tonight, let’s have some fun

It’s hammered time again, maybe tequila, or maybe some gin, not the pop crap on my TV, but a dose of metal therapy

Chorus - This place really sucks, took my last 10 bucks, driving way to hell and back, I’m searching for a tune attack

I’ve worked too hard, and come all this way, to hear this shit, and ruin my day

Now I’m really broke, the stars line up to sing and kroke

That gut dog from 7-Eleven will send me straight to heaven

CHORUS

The music's far long gone, to watch this poser kill a song, The mindless clone that spilled my beer, I’ve had enough let's get outta here

Cranking til the morning light, another goof, another fight, racking hacks down the trail, now he’s in the ditch and I’m in jail

CHORUS X 2

Yeah, I’m searching for a tune attack

oh yeah, I’m searching for a tune attack. Right now!

CATCH ME IF YOU CAN

I gotta run I can’t be seen, not wasting time finding my dreams

Ain’t gonna stop till I know I’ve reached the sky
Troubles comin, it’s on it’s way, ain’t gonna run I’m here to stay

I know where my future lies

CHORUS - Don’t know when it’s comin, On through the night I’m rollin'

Got to get it together as I fly across the skyway dreaming

Deep into the night I’m scheming, Now, let me take you by the hand

Headed for the top were climbing, Stars collide it’s perfect timing

Now, take the last command, Let me see you catch me if you can

You got the bullets, I got the gun, you and me, we’ll have some fun - Together we’ll light up the night, let's light up the night now baby!

It’s getting close no time to waste, trade in the past let's live today

All ya got is what you’ll leave behind

CHORUS X 2

Catch me if you can - X 3
