2. Carrie

   Letra

   When lights go down, I see no reason For you to cry. We've been through this before In every time, in every season, God knows I've tried So please don't ask for more. Can't you see it in my eyes This might be our last goodbye Carrie, Carrie, things they change my friend Carrie, Carrie, maybe we'll meet again I read your mind, with no intentions Of being unkind, I wish I could explain It all takes time, a whole lot of patience If it's a crime, how come I feel no pain.
3. Rock the Night

   Letra

   I've gone through changes I've gone through pain But there's not enough reason for me to go insane I know the feeling, when it grows I'm in a rage up from my head down to my toes. You know it ain't easy Running out of thrills You know it ain't easy When you don't know what you want. Rock now, rock the night 'Til early in the morning light Rock now, rock the night You'd better believe it's right. I know my limit Just what it takes When things ain't good enough I just pull the brake Sometimes it's easy Sometimes so tough But just have one thing clear I can't get enough.
4. Superstitious

   Letra

   Keep on walkin' that road and I'll follow Keep on callin' my name I'll be there And if a mirror should break it's easy to take Cause deep down I know that you care I´m not superstitious I'm not superstitious, I have no doubt That there's a reason, how things turn out While things are changin' from day to day I'll keep this feelin' with me all the way And I want you to know That you're on my mind Every day, all of the time So keep on walkin' that road and I'll follow Keep on callin' my name I'll be there And if a mirror should break it's easy to take Cause deep down I know that you care I'm not superstitious There might be times of wonder When I'm on my own Tryin' to find out if love has gone It might make a difference It might bring me down But no superstition is gonna turn things around And I want you to know That you're on my mind Every day, all of the time So keep on walkin' that road and I'll follow Keep on callin' my name I'll be there And if a mirror should break it's easy to take Cause deep down I know that you care I'm not superstitious So keep on walkin' and we'll make things right Yeah, keep on dreamin' each and every night We're gonna make it, that's what we'll do Right to the end girl, we're gonna walk on through So keep on walkin' that road and I'll follow Keep on callin' my name I'll be there And if a mirror should break it's easy to take Cause deep down I know that you care I'm not superstitious
5. Love Chaser

   Letra

   Someone's at your door tonight Someone wants your love Is it real or just imagination You decide to wait inside 'til the break of dawn In dreams you see yourself seeking affection. He'll know just who you are He'll know just where you've been He'll know just what to do. Love chaser - If you look deep in his eyes Then you're in for a big surprise He can take your breath away There's nothing you can do or say. You can feel that someone's at your back You can hear his pounding heart But something tells you not to be afraid Cause even in the darkest night Someone's at your side But when morning comes it all starts to fade away.
6. Cherokee

   Letra

   They lived in peace, not long ago A mighty Indian tribe But the winds of change, Made them realize, that the promises were lies. The white man's greed, in search of gold Made the nation bleed They lost their faith And now they had to learn There was no place to return Nowhere they could turn. Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears. They were driven hard, across the plains And walked for many moons Cause the winds of change, Had made them realize, that the promises were lies. So much to bear, all that pain Left them in despair They lost their faith And now they had to learn There was no place to return Nowhere they could turn.
7. Open Your Heart

   Letra

   Days filled with joy and days filled with sorrow I don't know just what to do Am I happy today, am I lonely tomorrow Everything depends on you I've been waiting for the angels to knock on my door I've been hopin' that everything could be like before Open your heart and tell me what's wrong Why can't you talk like you used to do before I don't know if I'm weak, I don't know if I'm strong Hey girl, I can't cope anymore I've been waiting... Open your heart, let me hear you Make up your mind, I want to hear you call Open your heart, want to come near you Make up your mind, oh girl, before I fall Maybe the sun will continue to shine Maybe the rain will continue to fall Maybe you want to leave me behind Maybe you'll change and give me a call
8. Let the Good Times Rock

   Letra

   You say that you want me I hope that you do Cause tell me just where I would be in this world Without someone like you When you say that you need me Like only you can Oh baby you don't really know what you've done To the heart of this man So baby tonight we will celebrate And talk of the times til it gets real late Yes baby tonight we'll appreciate Just what we've got So let the good times rock Oh when you squeeze me And say that you care There's nothin' I know that could drag me away When that feelin' is there Oh the way that you move me And makin' me feel Well I could have sworn that I lived in a dream If it wasn't for real Oh baby tonight we will celebrate...
9. Sign of the Times

   Letra

   When the word is out from the other side She turns around Cause day and night she's waited patiently Now a different kind of world out there Is to be found It's over not for everyone to see This is the way it's meant to be It's the way that we make things right It's the way that we hold on tight I know, it's the sigh of the times It's the way that we make things turn It's the way that we live and learn I know, it's the sigh of the times It wakes him up, he turns around And now he's gone He's been waitin' for this moment desperately Now the time is right, he's turnin' back He's going home Yeah it's over now for everyone to see This is the way it's meant to be It's the way that we make things right... And every time it's on my mind I feel so insecure It worries me to end up here alone But every time I realize I need her more and more I'd never make it on my own It's the way that we make things right...
10. More Than Meets the Eye

    Letra

    Now he walks in shadows He's tryin' to pretend she never walked away But it's not deceivin' He's closer to an end he never could foresee Where love goes When love dies, heaven knows But it's more than meets the eye So much more than just a last goodbye It's a cold and lonely heart So sad and torn apart Yes it's more than meets the eye Now he's in for trouble His luck has turned away, nobody seems to care Well there's a cold moon risin' And another lonely day has passed and she's not there Where love goes... But it's more than meets the eye...
11. Tomorrow

    Letra

    Will you be there beside me If the world falls apart And will all of out moments Remain in your heart Will you be there to guide me All the way through, I wonder will you Walk by my side, and follow my dreams And bear with my pride, as strong as it seems Will you be there tomorrow Will you be there beside me As time goes on by And be there to hold me Whenever I cry Will you be there to guide me All the way through, I wonder will you Walk by my side, and follow my dreams...
12. Prisoners in Paradise

    Letra

    I want to learn how to fly I want to be respected I want to get lucky I want to get out of this dump I just want to watch TV I want to be loved I want to be different I want a brother and sister I'd just rather be forgotten I want to save the world I want to be understood I want to be rich Man, I just want to be somebody Julie's got the word today She lost her job just one last pay Life don't come easy anymore Still strugglin' on by herself Got a picture of Jimmy There on the shelf And she looks at him and says Why did we let it go I know that sometimes baby We didn't see things eye-to-eye But I got just one question Did we have to say goodbye Just like prisoners in paradise Still far from heaven's door We had it all but still we Wanted more Now I realize that I can't Turn back the future's here To stay but hey We're just children of tomorrow Hangin' on to yesterday Jimmy still recalls the night When he took his guitar And headed on out To find the big time That was his dream He gave up his past And made it alright But there's something missin' In his heart tonight Sometimes what you want Ain't what you need He misses drivin' down To the lake at night Holdin' his baby In his arms so tight Ain't it hard to find illusions When you're livin' in a memory Just like prisoners in paradise So close but yet so far There will come a time No matter who you are When you ask yourself Was it right or wrong For me to turn away but hey We're just children of tomorrow Hangin' on to yesterday

14. Halfway to Heaven

    Letra

    Another day has come Can't face it on my own I almost let you walk away I guess I should have known I'll give it to you straight 'Cause some things just can´t wait I´ve got to make it up to you And I'll pray it's not too late 'Cause when you look at me With those sad blue eyes It stops me cold and I realize You´re all I need tonight We're halfway to heaven Lyin' beside you on a night So still We're halfway to heaven I ask you if you´ll stay and baby Say you will So what's a man to do To get it through to you Another lost and lonely night Would break this heart in two So let's take a chance And it'll be alright Just put your trusr in me tonight Girl we're almost there We're halfway to heaven There's something magic 'Bout the way you kiss We´re halfway to heaven Runnin' with you baby On a night like this We're halfway to heaven I never dreamed that I could get this high We're halfway to heaven Girl I couldn't leave you Even if I tried You got me captured In a crazy spin You got me so I just Can't tell the shape I'm in We're halfway to heaven There's something magic 'Bout the way you kiss We´re halfway to heaven Runnin' with you baby On a night like this We're halfway to heaven I never dreamed that I could get this high We're halfway to heaven Girl I couldn´t leave you Even if I tried
15. Sweet Love Child

    Letra

    She stands in the doorway In the pale moon shine When she looks at me, every part of me, Brings my soul back to life Eyes like a rainbow They cut right through Oh I'm lost in time All through my mind I'm in love what can I do Sweet love child... I shiver, I shiver and shake It's been a long, long time When she touches me, every part of me Just comes back alive She rides like the wind On a summers night And she gives and takes In the love she makes Sweet Love Child She makes everything so right My sweet love child... By the light of the morning Like an angel's sigh I can feel her breath Lying next to me With the world locked outside I can feel A taste so sweet And she gives me love All the precious love It makes my life so complete So sweet
16. The Final Countdown 2000
17. Time Has Come

    Letra

    Long for the sailor, beneath the skies Long for the white dove, no matter where she flies Long for the stranger you know so well. Pray for the soldier, who's wounded bad Pray for the dreamer, he's still so sad Pray for the stranger you know so well. Cause I'm coming home. Now the time has come For me to come back home. Long for the eagle, on wings so strong Long for the hunter, he won't be long Long for the stranger you know so well.
18. Heart of Stone

    Letra

    I've told you once and I've told you twice Wait for that day, when our love will rise To that song that brought our hearts together. Even though you're mistreating me I know the girl that you used to be For me those days were meant to last forever. Time after time I'm wondering why Am I to be all alone Day after day I pray that you'll stay Cause you've got a heart of stone. I walk the streets like a broken man Oh I wish that you would understand Even though you're still the one I wait for. I guess in love there's no guarantee Sometimes it's not what it seems to be Even though you're still the one I care for.

2. In the Future to Come

   Letra

   So many tears ago the people on this earth They were laughin' They didn't think of anything else Than love and peace But generations failed to see That they were causin' Trouble for the future They didn't know that one single war Would continue to increase But I'll be beside you 'Cause I want to hide you I'll cover my pain Or I'll gone insane Oh Lord where will it end When tomorrow is done Oh Lord can we stop to pretend That we can survive in the future to come As long as you can see As long as you can feel There's no cause for alarm As long as you can touch As long as you can more It ain't too bad But one day or another This world would maybe Be destroyed forever A holocaust maybe be spread And drive us all mad
3. Seven Doors Hotel

   Four hundred years back in this time Seven Doors Hotel A massacre took place and a young man died Opened one gate to Hell The Eibon is open use your eyes To read and learn In the end it could be your turn 1981 traces were found That could not exist in one's mind A woman could lead you totally deceive you Without your knowing she's blind Seven Doors Hotel One of seven gates to Hell Seven Doors Hotel One of seven gates to Hell Do always watch out for things That you see but don't understand The Devil is there always somewhere Ready to command
4. Stormwind

   I like to sit beside the fire When the light is going down I like to hear the wild wind blow outside my door I have so much left to remember I have so much left to forget And I know I just don't have to search for more But you want to change my world Stay out of my life Storm wind, you're just like a wind Comin' to drag me away Storm wind, what can I say I just don't want you to stay I like to walk around in dreams at night And play with kings and queens 'til the morning light I like to wake up in the morning unaware Of the fact that you are calling me To ask me if I want to be Someone who you could love and always care for
5. Scream of Anger

   Letra

   I won't live to see tomorrow There won't be another prayer None of them will ever sorrow Those who've sentenced me to death I've been waiting here for ages For the hangman to appear (the hangman to appear) Soon the priest will read some pages From the Bible for my fear I see a place An evil place Coming my way What can I do Where can I run Gonna die anyway Things are getting clearer This is the price I have to pay Oh no I feel like screaming out my anger There is so much left here to do When it happened I was younger And my destiny was you I see a place An evil place Coming my way What can I do Where can I run Gonna die anyway Things are getting clearer This is the price I have to pay And what can I do about leaving you We were only halfway through And what can I say, there was no other way They wouldn't let me stay
6. Dreamer

   Letra

   He is down by the riverside Late one night He's tryin' to count the stars In each of the signs All alone by the riverside And time passes by Gathering thoughts of the past And maybe he'll cry So they say he's a madman And he don't understand But I know that he's tryin' hard To act like a man All those years he has suffered, My friends All those years of pain But I don't think he knows for sure If those years were in vain He's a dreamer And he's fightin' for his life He's tryin' to understand He's a dreamer But he wants to carry on Yet I know he's a lonely man
7. Ninja

   Letra

   Tell me the story, tell me the legend Tell me the tales of war Tell me just one time, What it was like before Bring me the feeling, right in that moment When a heart for battle cries Find me the treasure where the legend lies. If I were a noble ancient knight I'd stand by jour side to rule and fight It will always feel the same When I call out your name. Ninja survive, in dreams I walk by your side Ninja survive, with you there's no need to hide. A handful of sayings are more than a reason For me to feel this way I'd like to be near you Maybe for just one day So tell me the legend, tell me the story Tell me the tales of war Tell me just one time What it was like before.
8. Coast to Coast

   Letra

   You look out that window For someone you know But it all looks the same and time and again It hurts you so You wonder if always You'll stand on your own But hear in your mind, you'll get through this time You're not alone When time seems so lonely And your day seems too long You wonder if you will ever get through And still be strong With eyes full of sadness You stand on your own It tears you apart, but you know in your heart You're not alone Coast to coast and land to land We're together hand in hand Coast to coast and land to land...

Rock me til I hit that floor...
10. Seventh Sign

    Letra

    I've been sailin' 'cross the ocean With the devil by my side I've been flyin 'cross the great Blue sky But there's nowhere to hide I've been standin' by the crossroads I've been lookin' for a clue I've been prayin' for the Human race There´s not a lot I can do I've been waitin' for the warnin' As we look to the sky Now we all seem lost If you ask me why It's the seventh sign See the blood-red sky tonight It's the sevents sign See the blood-red sky There's a voice out on the wasteland It says we're runnin' out of time I used to think the world Could change Lord I must have been blind I've been cryin' out for mankind I've been hangin' on to faith But the comin' of a messenger Says it's much too late We could all come together And gather all around What good is war when we All go down

    You must be dreamin' Or going out of your mind There's no way of changin' The world over one night Baby you need to recover From all the things you've been through Baby you need to discover There ain't much to do but Ride, ride, ride The wings of tomorrow Ride, ride, ride To change the world You feel sorry for the nations of 1984 And it cuts you like a razor Cause you've seen it all before You've seen one war after another So many lives on the line You must take care of one another Or reach the end of time Ride, ride, ride The wings of tomorrow Ride, ride, ride To change the world
16. Danger on the Track

    Letra

    I was heading for the mountains I had saved so much for you And in the town I left behind me There was nothing left to do. I knew that you were waiting For me to share your life Cause I told you when I left, that When I come back you'll be my wife. But someone was waiting In the shadows of the night Someone was waiting It just didn't feel right. Danger on the track Something told me there were Strangers on my back And I was so right. Maybe I should surrender Maybe I should give it up But the strength I had inside Told me you can never stop. The men wanted to break me Steal and bring me down But I fought for you and later They were lying on the ground.

    One night she came, in from the cold Like a long lost friend, someone to hold She said, don't ask me now Cause what's in a name But when I'm gone you'll never be the same So won't you hold me now Can't you see what I came here for Save me now, cause I now We'll keep on headin' through Lights and shadows We're talkin' lights and shadows She came from far, with so much to tell Cause when you're lookin' for love You can walk through hell Just like a ricochet, she might come and go And one look can say more than you'll ever know So won't you hold me now... Oh lights and shadows We're talkin' lights and shadows So won't you hold me now... Oh lights and shadows... We keep on headin' through Lights and shadows
