Lion's Share - Fall From Grace (1999)

In the dark I see
Everything is so much clearer
When I go through the door
And I step into a world for man unknown
You can´t hold me back
Cuz there is something new unseen before

I´ve found what I want, it´s true!
And I‘m never coming back
There´s nothing that you can do!
Going through a hole of black

As far as I can see
In the misty haze before me
A white and shiny light I can feel it piercing through my armoured suite
Don´t you hold me back
I´ll see you somewhere else, another world

I´ve found what I want, it´s true!
And I ‘m never coming back
There´s nothing that you can do!
Going through a hole of black

I´ve found what I want, it´s true!
And I‘m never coming back
There´s nothing that you can do!
Going through a hole of black

Can you hear me

You mesmerise slowly
Till I can't believe my eyes
Ecstasy controls me
What you give just serves me right

Without warning you're here
Like magic you appear
I taste the fear

I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame

In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil

Aroused with desire
You put me in a trance
A vision of fire
I never had a chance

A dark angel of sin
Preying deep from within
Come take me in

I'm so afraid
But I still feed the flame

In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil

Arousing me now with a sense of desire
Possessing my soul till my body's on fire

A dark angel of sin
Preying deep from within
Come take me in

You're possessing me

In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil

In the night
Come to me
You know I want your Touch of Evil
In the night
Please set me free
I can't resist a Touch of Evil

Touch of Evil (Touch of Evil)

Touch of Evil

Icy water pulls me down, surrounding me
Drifting with the gentle stream, embracing me
Too weary to reach the surface

A soldier of fortune
Bearing arms without belief
He’s been under fire
And has never felt no grief
Pride and glory
The innocent dying
For pride and glory

I hear them beg for mercy
The terrifying screams
I hear them echo in my mind, cryin’

I’m drowning slowly
Inside the dream I choke on the water
Drowning slow
And I see the visions of slaughter

Awake in a cold sweat
Haunted by the things he saw
The silhouettes dancing
On the bedroom paperwall
Hell and fire
The yesterday victims
It’s hell and fire

I hear them beg for mercy
The terrifying screams
I hear them echo in my mind, cryin’

I’m drowning slowly
Inside the dream I choke on the water
Drowning slow
And I see the visions of slaughter

The hero in shadows
For the gold he sells his soul
To fight for the honor
Every mercenary’s goal
Pride and glory the innocent dying
For pride and glory

I’m drowning slowly
Inside the dream I choke on the water
Drowning slow
And I see the visions of slaughter

I’m drowning slowly
Inside the dream I choke on the water
Drowning slow
And I see the visions of slaughter

I’m drowning

So slowly

We had no warning, now it´s too late
The earth is trembling, is this our fate
How long will it take? Before all is lost
Lost, there´s no mistake
Shall every Angel Fall
We watch them turn into flames

Into the heat, out of the night
No end is yet in sight
Could it be? It´s the end of all light

I see them falling all around me
Scorched by the fire, wings are burning
Into the heat, out of the night
No end is yet in sight
Could it be? It´s the end of all light

To heaven I gaze
The angels are descending
And now as they fall from grace
We pray and start repenting
The heaven I face
In awe, they are descending
And now as they fall from grace
We pray and start repenting

I hear the people chanting his name
Without hope, within the dark
No one else to blame
All we feel is fear and shame (shame)

To heaven I gaze
The angels are descending
And now as they fall from grace
We pray and start repenting
The heaven I face
In awe, they are descending
And now as they fall from grace
We pray and start repenting

I guess I always knew my days were numbered
I guess i´m just a fool who lingers on
Sometimes I hoped to lead another
Not fade away like a sunset dying out

Through all these years
Never been a doubt or a maybe
There is nothing that I regret now
And I never will right `til the end

I never knew although I wondered
I never realized the day would come
Sometimes my heart is filled with sorrow
To fade away like a sunset dying out

Through all these years
Never been a doubt or a maybe
There is nothing that I regret now
And I never will right `til the end

I remember
I remember all that was
Surrender

I remember
I remember all that was
Surrender

I never knew although I wondered
I never realized the day would come
Sometimes I hoped to lead another
Not fade away like a sunset dying out

I remember
I remember all that was
Surrender

I remember
I remember all that was
Surrender

I remember

Surrender

The day the Earth caught fire
We stood outside the world was laughing
And in the city square
They cast umbrellas to the sky
The sun above my head was burning greedy red
The horns began to blow "Three Cheers for Jericho"

The first evacuee
I was headed for the sea, I saw them
The roadside refugees
The boys with bloody knees who waved
Abandoned cars that lay too tired to drive away
"A World in Flames Today" was all the papers had to say

Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)
Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)
Run, run, run
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)
Run, run, run

The streetcar prophet said,
"You thought that God was dead-I warned you
The sinners and the saved
They fell down to their knees and prayed
Believers held their breath and stoned a witch to death
The leaders and the led said "Blow the bloody Reds away!"

Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)
Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)
Run, run, run
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)
Run. run, run

Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)
Run for your life (The Earth's caught fire)
Run, run, run
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)
Run for your life (The Earth's on fire)
Run. run, run

They call me insane
I’m not to blame
Falling apart into pieces
If you’d open your eyes
You could see through the lies
Bloodsucking leeches
To you it’s a game
Bent down in shame
Calling me names without reason
If I’d open my eyes
I could see the disguise
Got nowhere to run

On the edge of sanity
The final fight has begun
At the edge of sanity, I’m lost!

And now I’m insane
Bent out of frame
Holding a gun to my brain
If I pull it I’m done
Just a mind-twisted son
Riding a freighttrain
I stand all alone
King without a throne
Ruler of mindless confusion
Screaming into the void
It’s my future destroyed
Got nowhere to run

On the edge of sanity
The final fight has begun
At the edge of sanity, I’m lost!

On the edge of sanity
I turn my face from the sun
At the edge of sanity, I’m lost!

They call me insane
I’m not to blame
Falling apart into pieces
If I’d open my eyes
I could see the disguise
Got nowhere to run

On the edge of sanity
The final fight has begun
At the edge of sanity, I’m lost!

On the edge of sanity
I turn my face from the sun
At the edge of sanity, I’m lost!

The darkness comes but slowly
The night is still too young
Midnight ain’t that far away
Summon everyone
Hooded men of evil
Pay tribute to his name
Can you hear us, are you with us
And the devil is to blame

They’re crying out in ecstasy
Save our souls
From tonight and into infinity

Unholy rites! What will become of us
Unholy rites! What have they done
Unholy rites! You know there’s
No place left to run

I’m trapped within a nightmare
There’s nothing I can do
Darkness is surrounding me
Help me to pull through
Save me from the evil
That’s raging land and sea
Can you hear me, are you with me
Lord I’m striving to break free

They’re crying out in ecstasy
Save our souls
From tonight and into infinity

Unholy rites! What will become of us
Unholy rites! What have they done
Unholy rites! You know there’s
No place left to run

Unholy rites! What will become of us
Unholy rites! What have they done
Unholy rites! You know there’s
No place left to run

Unholy rites! What will become of us
Unholy rites! What have they done
Unholy rites! You know there’s
No place left to run

Unholy rites! What will become of us
Unholy rites! What have they done
Unholy rites! You know there’s
No place left to run
