Control
1. Lost
Falling down into a pit
Dark maze with no way out
Looking for that shred of evidence
That would prove it all
Lost the sight, that would bring light
Loose that feeling
Give in to it and it leaves you
In an all-time low
My sole and solemn purpose
Is it just to bring and get delight?
That feeling I am and must be right
I just don't and do I want to know?
Looking for that shred of evidence
That would prove it all
Lost the sight and bring light
I try to get out
2. One Chance
I shall decide what is good or bad
I will take what is mine
Time will tip the scales
The devil may take care of its own
I will take care of mine
One chance to take care of my own
Plans made, hearts broken
Dreams faded, created
I shall decide what is good or bad
I will take what is mine
Time will tip the scales
The devil may take care of its own
I will take care of mine
Chances may have passed before my eyes
My life at faith's grips
My turn in time
3. Angel
In my hour of need
She will always be there
To show me the act of deliverance
She is my angel
She will always protect me
When I despair
She will show me
Give me the faith to believe in me
When I am in doubt
4. Creeping
Wondering what the day may bring
Still wondering at first light
Life promised so much to be
Quiet it does seem to me
Waited for a moment to be
What all expected of me
It has all gone away
Quiet feeling of dismay
Twisting, turning, restless fury
It wants to be free
Rattling the chains, chains that cage me
It wants to be free
Wondering late till early light
Feeling that something isn't right
They have all gone away
Creeping feeling of dismay
5. Defined by Action
What have we become
To be like this
Ruled by what is fed to me
Knowledge selected
Something is wrong
My conscience says there is
Nice to know I can switch it off
I'm not getting anywhere
I'm not taking any risks
Who cares?
I'm going to live forever
I'm not getting anywhere
I'm not taking any risks
Who cares?
'Cause I will live forever
Nothing happens in my life
So all must be well
I watch images pass me by
I feel better already
Something is wrong
My conscience says there is
Nice to know I can switch it off
I'm not getting anywhere
I'm not taking any risks
Who cares?
I'm going to live forever
In my mind I am an island on my own
My life of perfect misery
I enjoy that of others
What have we become
To be like this
Ruled by what is fed to me
Knowledge selected
In my mind I am alone
6. Drianed
Chains I break
No time to waste
Goals to make
No time to wait
Pull and hold me down
Struggling to beat the better
I will not hold, I won't stop
I'll rage and race forever
Raging on
Stop at none
Life awaits
I'll sleep when I'm dead
Hurdles I take
It's make or break
I'll sleep when I'm dead
No time to lose
7. I Stand Alone
People surround me, but they don't care to know
So I am lord and master of all that is my own
All is done in my belief, within my might
All else that happens is not my fight
Words made hollow, a world made shallow
Mine is the pledge, but now I feel, I've lost the edge
I stand alone in this cold life
So much is there to make mine
Many mountains left to climb
Conviction, by vision made whole
It's perfection in a glass bowl
The drive, which pushed me on, to make it on my own
Slowly fading:, slowly grinding to a halt
I stand alone
8. Lines I Write
I trust in you
For you are who I am
Comforts me, one step beyond
This book my life
Tattered though it may be
Keeps me alive
Wisdom of old
My story, my conclusion
This book is my redemption
These lines I write
Where they lead I do not know
But this is my book, my heart
Reckoning it will follow in the next book
Turn the pages of my life
9. Perfect Days
Turn of times and ways apart
The beginning, means of a new start
Didn't we have perfect days?
Spent in blessed ways
Smile spent on good times
Wish to be together
Those were the days
Those were our ways
Do you ever look back?
Or am I the only one?
Seven bad years, seven good years
Knowing now the good years have begun
Smile spent on good times
Wish to be together
Those were the days
Those were our ways
Those were the days
Those were our ways
10. Play
Play the ball
Play the game of life
I see it everyday
I hear it all the time
A twisted game we play
Right and wrong has blended
No ref(eree) attending
No goals to be defended
Don't understand the reason
I've never seen, seen such darkness
I've never heard such silence
I've never felt so lost
Don't understand the reason
I've never seen, seen such darkness
I've never heard such silence
I've never felt so alone
11. Black Day
Today is a black day
I heard a whisper of times passed
And so a journey ends
The soul has gone
A fading of light
And so a journey ends
You touched my life
Beyond fear and loneliness
And so a journey ends
Risen to the heights
Passed through the lows
And so a journey ends
I feel so lost
Afraid and all alone
And so a journey ends
Find guiding light
In memories that remain
And so a journey ends
So I feel no loss
For the memory stays
And so a journey ends
Today was a black day
I heard a whisper of times passed
And so a journey begins
12. Hell Bent for Leather (Judas Priest cover)
Seek him here, seek him on the highway
Never knowing when he'll appear
All await, engine's ticking over
Hear the roar as they sense the fear
Wheels! A glint of steel and a flash of light!
Screams! From a streak of fire as he strikes!
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Black as night, faster than a shadow
Crimson flare from a raging sun
An exhibition, sheer precision
Yet no one knows from where he comes
Fools! Self destruct cannot take that crown
Dreams! Crash one by one to the ground
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried
There's many who tried to prove that they're faster
But they didn't last and they died as they tried
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
Hell bent, hell bent for leather
13. Control
Hey friend check this
I don't agree with you
I never have and never will
Our views don't mix
Nothing to fix
Just realized this is not how I want it to be
Just realized I am losing control
Seem to be losing it
Losing it all
Seems like anger is overtaking us all
I am losing, losing control
I am losing, losing control
Hey babe check this
I'm tired of trying
Feeding all this living and lying
Our lives don't mix
Nothing to fix
Hey, check this
I'm tired of this anger breeding
It's time to take control
It's time to take control
