letra de Cross the Line
We have no way to see eye to eye

Through all the walls in their mind

These are the pleasures that terrify

So leave them behind

You keep the chains that are in your life

We'll take flight of the dove

There's only one way to satisfy

This feeling that's love

And I'll say it again, and I'll say it again

And if the power comes between us

Oh, I'll know what to do,

I'm gonna say it to you

Cross the line tonight,

Take this chance and show your might,

All the world's on the other side,

Cross the line

Raise a flag to a moral crime,

We'll light a fire for this,

Make the papers by morning time

And lay in our bliss

So come on darling and share my mind,

There is no need to stay hid

'Cause all we are now is two of a kind

Can you believe what we did?

And I'll say it again, oh, and I'll say it again

That when the power comes between us

Oh, I'll know what to do,

I'm gonna say it to you

Cross the line tonight

Take this chance and show your might

All world's on the other side

Cross the line

Mother come to me now,

Take this hand now, I'm afraid

Mother, come to me

I'm bleeding

We had no way to see eye to eye

Through all the walls in their mind

These were the pleasures that terrified

We left them behind

And I'll say it again, and I'll say it again

And if the power comes between us

Oh, I'll know what to do,

I'm gonna say it to you

Cross the line tonight,

Take this chance and show your might,

All the world's on the other side,

Cross the line

letra de Man in Chains
I've only myself to blame,

Now that I'm tangled up in chains,

So you say, ooh, so you say

Caught in this human cage,

Trapped, and I'm fired up with rage

And somebody's got to pay

I can never talk about it,

I can never say what I want to say

So I'll take your tip and I'll bite my lip

And hope it goes away

You say I'm a man of straw

Well, baby, I'm gonna break your law

Then it's war, ooh, yes it's war

Love on a thin white line,

Love that was just a waste of time,

Oh, not anymore

I can feel it coming at me,

I can feel it coming like the wind

But, I'm locked away and I'm bound to stay,

So no one can get in

I'm a man in chains, I'm a man in chains

Oh, I'm a man in chains, I'm a man in chains

I only pray that before I die,

Just like a phoenix I will rise and fly

Tell me who's to blame,

Oh, I'm a man, now I'm a man in chains

There must be a reason why

You're pulling the wool down on my eyes

It's a lie, it's a lie

Dragging this ball and chain,

Oh, how long can I take this pain?

But somebody has to try, yeah

Oh, I can feel the pressure on me,

I can feel it taking me from the start

Sticks and stones will smash my bones,

But never break my heart

I'm a man in chains, I'm a man in chains

Oh, I'm a man in chains, I'm a man in chains

I only pray that before I die,

Just like a phoenix I will rise and fly

Tell me who's to blame,

Oh, I'm a man, now I'm a man in chains

I can never talk about it,

Oh, I can never say what I want to say

So I'll take your tip and I'll bite my lip

And hope it goes away

I'm a man in chains, I'm a man in chains

Oh, I'm a man in chains, I'm a man in chains

I only pray that before I die,

Just like a phoenix I will rise and fly

Tell me who's to blame,

Oh, I'm a man, now I'm a man in chains
How Many Lies?Ver letra 5:20

letra de How Many Lies?
Once there were times

Once there were reasons filled with rhymes

Everything shared, everything told

You keep me so warm

Protect me from all those mighty storms

And dreams seem so old

So look at us now just look at us now

With our hands on our hearts

And lines on our brow

How many lies must we tell?

How many lies must we see?

How many times must we say it's for the best?

And leave truth as the casualty?

Do you read through the lines

Or believe the TV and the Times?

Where can we find more ways to see?

You strain on the truth

And make believe all when you cry wolf

And the lies you're giving me

So look at us now just look at us now

With our hands on our hearts

And lines on our brow

How many lies must we tell?

How many lies must we see?

How many times must we say it's for the best?

And leave truth as the casualty?

Oh well the truth is hard

So when they write the book

Fiction's what you wanna be

Well it's your freedom of choice

But you know that lies are the cancer of democracy

You've painted your face

And now you've tainted your words

And now you're ready and armed with love

Well if you're head is steady

And your soul is ready

We're going up above

So whatever you wanna be

Just come on along with me

If there's truth in our hearts

Maybe we can break free

How many lies must we tell?

How many lies must we see?

How many times must we say it's for the best?

And leave truth as the casualty?

How many lies must we tell?

How many lies must we see?

How many times must we say it's for the best?

And leave truth as the casualty?

How many times must we say it's for the best?

And leave nothing yeah

letra de Virgin
I could tell you a fairytale,

Hold your hand oh so small and frail,

But these lies are to no avail

In these blues

I could give you security,

Protect your eyes from what you see,

But I can't give you a guarantee,

Win or loose

Just trust in my love now baby,

I'll show you what's wrong,

Oh this is all I can give you baby,

So sing this song, sing it, sing it

Oh, we are virgin,

Just as bright as the blinding snow

Oh, we are virgin

And we just don't wanna let go,

We are virgin

Your skin is new and your eyes are wide,

Don't let that evil get inside,

I know it's hard to run and hide,

In these times

So hold your face to the sun today,

I'll take your hand and we'll walk away,

Show them all you don't have to pay

For these crimes

Just trust in my love now baby,

I'll show you what's wrong,

Oh this is all I can give you baby,

So sing this song, sing it, sing it

Oh, we are virgin,

Just as bright as the blinding snow

Oh, we are virgin

And we just don't wanna let go

And so if you go away,

I'll keep the fire burning,

Keep the fire burning all night

All through the wind and the rain

I'll keep the fire burning,

Keep the fire burning

Just trust in my love now baby,

I'll show you what's wrong,

Oh this is all I can give you baby,

So sing this song, sing it, sing it

Oh, we are virgin,

Just as bright as the blinding snow

Oh, we are virgin

And we just don't wanna let go,

We are virgin

letra de Fight for Ourselves
Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves

Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves

Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves

Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves

So many people, so many problems

There in the pretty city lights

Where we've thrown it all away

Well, if life is here before my eyes

Then I find it hard to see

How the methods that were told to use

Are gonna make us free, until then I say

Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves

Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves

All through the mystery

All through the heartache

Shes got the only single thing

That Ill never throw away

Oh, if lightning strikes for a second time

Will you come and pull me through?

It's a battle that we all must make

So show me what to do

And you said

Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves

Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves

Well there's a feeling growing that is in this land

There's a soul that's burning and it's your hand

Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves

Oh, so many people now, there's so many problems

There in the pretty city lights

Where we've thrown it all away

Well, if life is here before my eyes

Then I find it hard to see

How the methods that were told to use

Are gonna make us free

Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves

Everybody, we've got to fight for ourselves

Well there's a feeling growing that is in this land

There's a soul thats burning and it's your hand

Everybody, weve got to fight for ourselves

letra de Swept
Be careful what you say,

Loose talk could sink this ship

Well the way that I am as weak as a lamb,

See it on my shaky lip

There's more to these actions,

That you could ever know

With the moon and the tide I'm drawn to your side

And moving with the flow

When it's time to choose and it's sink or swim,

I know I'll drown this time

When the cold wind blows and I'm falling in,

Throw the line

Now I'm swept,

And I'm lost within my mind

On a love that makes me blind

And this feeling I just can't forget,

Now I'm swept

On a tide that's in my soul

And this feeling that I have is losing me control

And I hope it doesn't end just yet,

Now I'm swept

Mind over matter,

No matter where this mind will be

There's more to be said, oh, for games in the head

Than anything you'll ever see

There's safety in dreaming,

So wrap me in things that I know

With my head in the sand,

I'm at your command

And moving with the flow

When it's time to choose and it's sink or swim,

I know I'll drown this time

When the cold wind blows and I'm falling in,

Throw the line

Now I'm swept,

And I'm lost within my mind

On a love that makes me blind

And this feeling I just can't forget,

Now I'm swept

On a tide that's in my soul

And this feeling that I have is losing me control

And I hope it doesn't end just yet,

Now I'm swept

letra de Snakes and Lovers
I just don't understand it

Well there's something at our door

Now we're fighting together

As dogs of war

When the moon is shining

And you're wrapped around our sins

Then our souls starts a-howling

And the show begins

Over where the city starts

Something comes and slips into its heart

Snakes and lovers

Try to shed our sins

We're undercover

But it's slipped beneath our skins

Snakes and lovers

Holding on in the night

Are you sleeping tight?

In our Garden of Eden

With the poison in disguise

We had grown love together

In paradise

Now Utopia's falling

And the messages are clear

That the evil is crawling

And fear is near

Now temptation comes to try

So I bite the apple of my eye

Snakes and lovers

Try to shed our sins

We're undercover

But it's slipped beneath our skins

Snakes and lovers

Holding on in the night

Are you sleeping tight?

Now you're alone in your room

And all of the walls they are turning

And down on the streets where I walk

The light on my eyes it is burning

So come on and take me, my dear

And bear the fruits of what we know

Then our minds will be clear

And our hearts will not let go

Just one more step

And we will be over

Snakes and lovers

Try to shed our sins

We're undercover

But it's slipped beneath our skins

Snakes and lovers

Holding on in the night

Are you sleeping tight?

Holding on in the night

Are you sleeping tight?

letra de Through the Barricades
Mother doesn't know where love has gone

She says it must be youth that keeps us feeling strong

I see it in her face that's turned to ice

And when she smiles she shows the lines of sacrifice

And now I know what they're saying

As our sun begins to fade

And we made our love on wasteland

And through the barricades

Father made my history

He fought for what he thought would set us somehow free

He taught me what to say in school

I learned it off by heart but now that's torn in two

And now I know what they're saying

In the music of the parade

And we made our love on wasteland

And through the barricades

Born on different sides of life

We feel the same and feel all of this strife

So come to me when I'm asleep

We'll cross the lines and dance upon the streets

And now I know what they're saying

As the drums begin to fade

And we made our love on wasteland

And through the barricades

Oh, turn around and I'll be there

Well there's a scar right through my heart but I'll bare it again

Oh, I thought we were the human race

But we were just another borderline case

And the stars reach down and tell us

That there's always one escape

Oh, I don't know where love has gone

And in this troubled land desperation keeps us strong

Friday's child is full of soul

With nothing left to lose, there's everything to go

And now I know what they're saying

It's a terrible beauty we've made

So we make our love on wasteland

And through the barricades

And now I know what they're saying

As our hearts go to their graves

And we made our love on wasteland

And through the barricades
