    1. Bless Me

      Bless me said the lonely boy
      Bless me said the lonely girl
      why does no one love me
      why will no one ever tell me why.

      Bless me said the lonely man
      Bless me said the lonely man
      Now that my wife left me
      who is gonna fill my dreams at night.

      I try but I don't succeed, It's only life
      Made for changing and there for the rest of time

      Bless me for the love of God
      Bless me for the love of God
      Can't you understand me,
      try to make a difference in my life
      I just don't belong here
      and everyone can see it in my eyes

      Bless me
      Bless me said the lonely man
      Bless me
      I'd kill for love
      I'd kill for love
      Bless me
      Bless me
      Bless me
      I'd kill for love
      I'd kill for love
      Bless me
      Bless me
      Bless me
      Love is all
      Kabi kabi mere dil me khayal ata he

    2. Lately

      Lately I've had so much on my mind

      Patience, must be patient, give it time
      Hold on to this moment, hold on tight
      You say, time waits for no man

      I'll wait I will trust in destiny
      Place faith in my own ability
      Lately I've had so much on my mind
      Maybe life will bring to me what's mine

      Hold on, to this moment, hold on tight
      You say, time waits for no man

    3. The Brakes Are Gone

      The brakes are gone
      And the less I think about it, the better
      It only makes me feel what I don’t want to feel
      Holding onto memories of you

      Save me, save me from myself, please
      The fear I have is real fear
      That everyone and everything feels

      It’s not a love thing
      It’s like a special gift to me
      Something I wanted
      But left behind and never found again

      The sentence doesn’t fit the crime
      Imprisoned by the gift of time
      And knowing I’m alone again tonight

      Awake me, I sleep inside this memory
      I need to find a new dawn
      A sun that lights this misery

      It’s not a love thing
      It’s like a special wish to me
      Something I wanted but left behind
      And never found again

      And I can see it so clear
      I know it’s there I try to bring it near
      I only wanted to believe and hold on

      The special feeling’s all I have
      I really feel the meaning of
      Inner strength might fall away but
      I know I’ll get it back some day

      And I can see it so clear
      I know it’s there I try to bring it near
      I only wanted to believe and hold on

      The brakes are gone
      And the less I think about it, the better

    4. Razorlite

      Razorlite, see a different life
      You're running wild through the death of night
      And from the days of your crisis
      Are memories that you can not forget
      But you've got so many reasons to get high, tonight

      Foolish dreams, won't change anything
      All you'll ever have is what the future brings
      The blossom has gone, with every season
      And you've got so many reasons to ask why, tonight

      Is all you wanted, anything you need
      The voices in your head all dissagree

      Razorlite, it's all black and white
      You know that's it's up to you, if you live to die
      But you've got so many reasons to get high, tonight

      Close your eyes

      Razorlite
      Raise a light Razorlite, see a different life You're running wild through the death of night And from the days of your crisis Are memories that you can not forget But you've got so many reasons to get high, tonight Foolish dreams, won't change anything All you'll ever have is what the future brings The blossom has gone, with every season And you've got so many reasons to ask why, tonight Is all you wanted, anything you need The voices in your head all dissagree Razorlite, it's all black and white You know that's it's up to you, if you live to die But you've got so many reasons to get high, tonight Close your eyes Razorlite
      Raise a light

    5. Propaganda Man

      Just another lie
      On a different day
      Something to believe in
      For evil to embrace
      And to feast on, bad ideals
      Just to wipe out all these infidels
      Propaganda man
      Propaganda man

      In a sorry state
      Forlorn man
      Practicing his faith
      That you don't understand
      Looks for answers, material
      He'll wait until time in memorial
      Propaganda man

      Life alone is no match for dreams
      Looking through the mist
      Will not allow you to see clear
      Why owe, a debt to your soul
      You will always reap what you have sewn
      Propaganda man
      Propaganda man
      Propaganda man

      When life's door is closed in your face
      And you have taken steps
      To wipe out all the human race
      Wash away the blood from off your soul
      Let it flow into the promised land
      Of propaganda man, propaganda man

      Propaganda man
      Propaganda man Just another lie
      On a different day
      Something to believe in
      For evil to embrace
      And to feast on, bad ideals
      Just to wipe out all these infidels
      Propaganda man
      Propaganda man

      Of propaganda man, propaganda man

    6. Frequency

      The death city radio, pours out of the open window,
      static fires into the atmosphere
      and moments and memories
      are lost to the frequencies, in the air.
      and the dad face on reality is no longer sitting next to me.
      a smile appeared to dry the tears away
      and the demons and angels
      are tolling on the iron bell, in the street.
      alive to me, love heals me fills all lost souls
      these daysare golden once more
      and I've been forsaken too often.
      It's all inside me
      beter to live life I#m sure you'll agree
      I save myself, from me again.
      Go on and fight another day
      With no door left unopened
      I know you must be looking for the way ahead.
      alive to me, love heals me fills all lost souls
      these daysare golden once more
      The death city radio, pours out of the open window.
      The static fires into the atmosphere
      and moments and memories are lost to the frequencies, in the air.
      healing

    7. Modern Day Miracle

      You once were trusted friend
      Relied on your every word
      Just like a modern day miracle
      They could not find a cure for
      a last and final wish
      Just something maybe worth living for
      I wish that could erase
      Put myself in a different place
      This felling is washing right over me
      It cuts right to the core
      Don't have much left to give
      It's maybe something woth living for
      I dont't ask for too much,
      Just bring me back from the dead.
      Don't break my spirit, hold a gun to my head.
      Your act was so selfish, it was greed.
      I'm sorry i tried my best
      I've given up, I#m out of this
      In time you'll remember just what you had
      Much later much too later
      You must be mesmerised
      You say it's a sign you must follow it
      Fool
      Your mistake
      No regrets
      Your mistake
      Forgiveness

    8. Cosmic Baby

      You better not let me down
      You better not leave me here
      You better not try to change things
      You better not disappear

      You better not take revenge
      You better wait till the end
      You better not back the loser
      You better not try to see her again
      You better not try to see her again

      I don’t wanna wait around too long

      The life was made for me
      This life was meant for me

      You better not make mistakes
      You better not fool around
      You better not make me pay
      You better not no you better not

      You better not find your peace
      You better not get release
      You better not fall on stony ground
      You better not let your guard down

      The life was made for me
      I don’t wanna wait around too long

      You better not make mistakes
      You better not fool around
      You better not make me pay for this
      You better not no you better not
      Cosmic baby, cosmic baby

      You better not let me down
      You better not leave me here
      You better not try to change things
      You better not disappear

      You better not make me pay for this
      You better not no you better not

      The life was meant to be, cosmic baby
      I don’t wanna wait around too long

      I don’t wanna wait around too long

    9. Things Don't Stop

      Things don't stop
      Just because life gets tough
      You feel like giving in
      Pleasure or pain
      Live without foolish intentions

      Things don't stop
      Certain as sure enough
      You're not a falling rock
      Breaking to pieces
      Scattering over the ground

      Things don't stop
      If you fall down stand up
      Brush off the grains of rust
      Be good to yourself
      I hope you hear what I'm saying

      Things, things, things, things

      Things don't stop
      Don't even think you've lost
      Mindfull of all you have
      Pleasure or pain
      Live without foolish intentions

      Things don't stop
      Run once you've learned to walk
      You're not a falling rock
      Breaking to pieces
      Scattering over the ground

      Things, things, things (2x)

      [SOLO]

    11. On the Other Side

      If I was a stranger, I'd still call this home
      Even through the changes, in life I have known
      What lies in the future now, is destiny's game
      No point asking questions, the answer doesn't change
      I just want to live a life, that teaches me the dark and light
      And discipline the part of me, that needs to run away

      I don't forget the memories, the fear hasn't gone
      The loneliness of nightime and distance till dawn
      Finally I understand and won't be going there again
      It's confident to my history, I hope it's there for good

      You and me on the other side alone
      You and me on the other side alone
      You and me on the other side alone, alone
      No loneliness with you

      It I had a need I would surely need you
      To help me with the changes that life puts me through
      And forget all the other times that someone broke this heart of mine
      Every time a lesson learned, it wasn't meant for me

      You and me on the other side alone
      You and me on the other side alone
      You and me on the other side alone, alone
      My home is here with you

      You and me on the other side alone
      You and me on the other side alone
      You and me on the other side alone, alone
      My only wish comes true If I was a stranger, I'd still call this home
      Even through the changes, in life I have known
      What lies in the future now, is destiny's game
      No point asking questions, the answer doesn't change
      I just want to live a life, that teaches me the dark and light
      And discipline the part of me, that needs to run away

      I don't forget the memories, the fear hasn't gone
      The loneliness of nightime and distance till dawn
      Finally I understand and won't be going there again
      It's confident to my history, I hope it's there for good

      You and me on the other side alone
      You and me on the other side alone
      You and me on the other side alone, alone
      No loneliness with you

      It I had a need I would surely need you
      To help me with the changes that life puts me through
      And forget all the other times that someone broke this heart of mine
      Every time a lesson learned, it wasn't meant for me

      You and me on the other side alone
      You and me on the other side alone
      You and me on the other side alone, alone
      My home is here with you

      You and me on the other side alone
      You and me on the other side alone
      You and me on the other side alone, alone
      My only wish comes true
