Sacred Song
(I.D.S. - Initiate Destruction Sequence)

I swear by the light
There is no more delight
Than what I am getting from you
On the altar burning for you

Metal touching velvet skin
Flaming words burning within
I close my eyes
On whirling skies
Let your Judgement Day begin.

Initiate destruction sequence
Sin and lies here comes your last dance
My blood is clean
My soul pristine
Still flying over fields unseen.

Strike that gong
Sing a sacred song
Find out where you belong
Separiting right from wrong.

Metal touching velvet skin
Flaming words burning within
I close my eyes
On whirling skies
Let your Judgement Day begin.
A touch too much
Will be salvation
Initiation
Gateway to higher notion.

Strike that gong
Sing a sacred song
Find out where you belong
Separiting right from wrong.

Strike that gong
Sacred song
You belong
Right from wrong.

Take It Or Leave It

You know it all too well
You and I we walked through hell
And back from the waves
Of the sea of pain
We danced in the pouring rain
But saner mornings found us aghast
Musing upon the days of our past.

Take it or leave it
That´s the way that we were
Living it up
Like fallen angels on Earth
Take it or leave it
You´d better believe
A new star will shine
When we finally leave.

We feared no enemy
Peace was meant to be
Forever
And for evermore
The world seemed a place worth fighting for
But saner evenings found us in doubt.
What is it that we´re all about?

Take it or leave it
That´s the way that we were
Living it up
Like fallen angels on Earth
Take it or leave it
You´d better believe
A new star will shine
When we finally leave.

Take it or leave it
You´d better believe
Take it or leave it
That´s the way
That´s the way that we were.

Lady In The Limelight

Lady in the limelight
Lady in the gaze of a thousand eyes
You showed me the sign
You´ve opened my mind
In time.

Lady in the limelight
I could not have made it on my own
You showed me the way
You taught me to pray.

Not so long ago
I was blind, I was blind
Wouldn´t let my feeling show
Thought I way cool
But you knew better
When you come along
I was wrong, I was wrong
Told myself I was strong
But it took you to call my bluff.

Lady in the limelight
Lady in the gaze of a thousand eyes
You showed me the sign
You´ve opened my mind
In time.

Lady in the limelight
I could not have made it on my own
You showed me the way
You taught me to pray.

Even to this day
I´m amazed, I´m amazed
Cannot find the words to say
How I feel
It´s so unlike me
To be laying at your feet
You´re the angel I was born to meet
You´re more than aoccasional treat
You´re my life.

I´ll never let you go
My love
´Cos no-one can replace
The overwhelming grace
Of your exquisite face
You gave my soul
You restored my soul...

Lady in the limelight
Lady in the gaze of a thousand eyes
You showed me the sign
You´ve opened my mind
In time.

Lady in the limelight
I could not have made it on my own
You showed me the way
You taught me to pray.

Get Down

Turn a blind eye on sin
That´s creeping deep within
No more words to say
This is more than you might think
It´s a love song you might sing
Get on your knees and pray
How can a strong man be
Just as weak as me
The world so ruthless
If you´re lost in the maze
Of some big blinding haze
You´re feeling so rootless.

Get down, get down
On your knees
And come around
It´s your life,
Get down
Get down, get down
On your knees
And come around
It´s your life,
Get down.

How can a strong man be
Just as weak as me
The world so ruthless
If you´re lost in the maze
Of some big blinding haze
You´re feeling so rootless
Turn a blind eye on sin
That´s creeping deep within
No more words to say
This is more than you might think
It´s a love song you might sing
Get on your knees and pray.

Mum´s Dying

Blessed be the snow
That´s falling
Virgin white
Is covering everything
Blessed be the Sun
That´s hiding
No shedding light
On the face of suffering.

Oooh, Mum´s dying
Oooh, Mum´s dying.

Make no move
Make no sound
She´s flying
Heavenbound
And all that will be left behind
Is that peace of mind
That speech beyond words
That mysterious beautiful bird.

Oooh, Mum´s dying
Oooh, Mum´s dying.

Blessed be the snow
That´s falling
Virgin white
Is covering everything
Blessed be the Sun
That´s hiding
No shedding light
On the face of suffering.

Oooh, Mum´s dying
Oooh, Mum´s dying.

Dance Into The Light

All my powers had left me
Surrounded me with walls
Making me the one
Fro whom the bell tolls

I thought that all was lost
When in the corner of my eye
I saw a blinking light
Cutting right through the night

And from the church of song
A voice was calling me
Said: Son, know where your heart belongs
This is your place to be.

Dance into the light
Dance into the fire
Open the door
And cleanse your soul
Just dance into the light
WHen you feel that you can´t cope
When you´ve lost your only hope
Just let it touch you
So deep and true
Dance into the light.

With doubt out of my sight
Let the healing now begin
It´s the end of pain
And peace shall reign
Somewhere deep within.

Rising from the ruins
Of a god-forsaken soul
I´m a man who lives again
And reaches for a goal.

I will never forget how
Your fire reached for me
You are the voice, you are the light
And you´re my place to be.

Dance into the light
Dance into the fire
Open the door
And cleanse your soul
Just dance into the light
When you feel that you can´t cope
When you´ve lost your only hope
Just let it touch you
So deep and true
Dance into the light.

Beautiful Bird

I never wanted to love you
I didn´t want a feeling so incomplete
Your voice and your eyes deceived me
And I have had enough of deceit

And that I had hope in
You just used for bait
What do you believe in
If you could kill for your faith?

Since then I´ve been lost for words
I´ve been a beggar and thief
I´ve been suffering
So much pain and grief
But I´ve meant well.

But I´ve meant well.

And you might be laughing at me
As you see my edges blurred
But from the dust and the dirt
My love for you has emerged
As a beautiful bird.
