Whiter Shade Of Pale (Keith Reid, Gary Brooker) 3:49 We skipped the light fandango Turned cartwheels 'cross the floor I was feeling kind of seasick The crowd called out for more The room was humming harder As the ceiling flew away When we called out for another drink The waiter brought a tray And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale She said: "There is no reason And the truth is plain to see" But I wandered through my playing cards And would not let her be One of sixteen vestal virgins Who were leaving for the coast And although my eyes were open They might just as well been closed And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale And so it was that later As the miller told his tale That her face at first just ghostly Turned a whiter shade of pale ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 2) Save My Soul (Pesch, Joey Balin) 3:47 I was tempted Like a desperate child Sent out in the world to taste it It was colder than steel Frozen in fields Emptied by the turning of pages Falling like stone Over and over Falling alone Hold on hold on Love will save my soul someday Take me away Take me so far away Love will save my soul someday I was trusted like a heart of gold Walked out on this world to make it Yeah, I'm better than bad Stronger than sad Harder than the rock of ages Fallin' like stones Over and over Falling alone Hold on hold on Love will save my soul someday Take me away Take me so far away Love will save my soul someday Fallin' like stone Over and over Falling alone Hold on hold on Love will save my soul someday Take me away Take me so far away Love will save my soul ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) World Gone Wild (Pesch, Balin) 3:54 There's a flamin' hole in the society A billion souls without destiny Livin', lovin', cryin' Feeding the system, starvin' your life Polish the prison, sharpen the knife Livin', lovin', dyin' Ev'rybody keeps movin' on and on Never seeing anything that could be wrong The world's gone wild The world's gone wild again The world's gone wild You can almost feel the end Listen sister Load your pistol The world's gone wild We're losing hold of our sanity Tempting fate with our fantasies Livin', lovin', cryin' Sellin' secrets and tellin' lies We're face to face with no alibis Livin', lovin', dyin' Ev'rybody keeps movin' on and on Never seein' anything that could be wrong The world's gone wild The world's gone wild again The world's gone wild You can almost feel the end Listen sister Load your pistol The world's gone wild ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Mission of Mercy (Pesch, Balin) 3:57 Walkin' on the wire Livin' on the edge of time Lost in our desires We're never satisfied Waiting for the wonder You could really lose your mind 'Cause fate is no hunter And fear can only make you blind We're hiding so much pain But it is all in vain Livin', lyin' for a Mission of mercy Rescue me and I will be your Mission of mercy Set me free and I can be your Mission of mercy Drownin' in emotions Tryin' to swim against the tide The devil is in motion And someone's always sacrificed We're hiding so much pain But it is all in vain Livin', lyin' for a Mission of mercy Rescue me and I will be your Mission of mercy Set me free and I can be your Mission of mercy We're hiding so much pain But it is all in vain Livin', lyin' for a Mission of mercy Rescue me and I will be your Mission of mercy Set me free so I can be your Mission of mercy ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Angels With Dirty Faces (Pesch, Balin) 3:59 See my soul as desire Catch the words as they fall from my lips Feel the passion grow higher Lick the sweat from my fingertips Be my love Beware my love is strange Be my love Beware the time can change See my scars heat the hunter Catch the thoughts as they race with the wind Hear my heart beat like thunder Free yourself let the madness begin Be my love Beware my love is strange Be my love Beware the time can change We're angels with dirty faces Livin' all alone Angels with dirty faces So far from home Our dirty minds go on and on Our fear of night is long gone We're angels with dirty faces So far from home Touch my skin It's on fire Light your dreams with the heat of the sun Let your passions expire Burn it up 'till there's nowhere to run Be my love Beware my love is strange Oh be my love Beware the times have changed We're angels with dirty faces Livin' all alone Angels with dirty faces So far from home Our dirty minds go on and on Our fear of night is long gone We're angels with dirty faces So far from home So far from home Be my love Beware my love is strange Be my love Beware the times have changed We're angels with dirty faces Livin' all alone Angels with dirty faces So far from home Our dirty minds go on and on Our fear of night is long gone We're angels with dirty faces So far from home ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Beyond The Trees (Pesch, Balin) 2:28 Beyond the trees Nature's reign is ending Children unattended Freeze Beyond the trees The world is so much colder Dreams turn into soldiers And bleed The earth is turnin' Kings are burnin' The missions down To the ground As time passes Cold bastards Frighten me Beyond the trees Beyond the trees Beauty's lost in boundary Insanity surrounds me here Beyond the trees If there is disaster Is there something after For me The earth is turnin' Kings are burnin' The missions down To the ground As time passes Cold bastards Frighten me Beyond the trees ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Hard Times (Pesch, Balin) 3:32 It's too real to be really right It's so real it kept me up all night A broken promise on the street of dreams Left us here all down on our knees With one shot And one bite The walls collapsed with a terrible fright Minute by minute Day by day I feel this place is crumblin' away Hard times We gotta break throught these Hard times yeah! Hard times Change the face of these Hard times yeah! Ev'rybody, ev'rywhere It's easy talkin' when you're talkin' cheap It's harder walkin' when you're in this deep There's too much pressure and there's too much pain Too many people bein' driven insane With one shot And one bite The world could change from dark to light Station to nation Face to face There must be someway to save this place Hard times We gotta break through these Hard times yeah! Hard times Change the face of these Hard times yeah! Ev'rybody, ev'rywhere Now fair is fair Hope needs a lot of care It's time we all understand The power in our hands Hard times Hard times yeah! Hard times We gotta break throught these Hard times yeah! Hard times Change the face of these Hard times yeah! Hard times Hard times yeah! ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Hellraiser (Pesch, Balin, Henricksen) 4:57 Flesh and bones With hearts of stone Cursin' the stars in the sky The painted face Has lost its place Beneath the wheel No pain can heal The spirit must learn how to fly Across the clouds Strong and proud So rise up - forget about the stories you tell Rise up - and let me hear your renegade heart yell Oh, oh, oh, oh rock on, hellraiser Oh, oh, oh, oh raze it hellraiser Stand or fall Don't we all Searchin' for ways to survive We're sweatin' blood To keep alive And if you feel What I feel Then we will learn how to fight For what is real And what is right So rise up - forget about the stories you tell Rise up - and let me hear your renegade heart yell Oh, oh, oh, oh rock on hellraiser Oh, oh, oh, oh raze it hellraiser So rise up - forget about the stories you tell Rise up - and let me hear your renegade heart yell Oh, oh, oh, oh rock on hellraiser Oh, oh, oh, oh raze it hellraiser ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) I Am What I Am (Pesch, Balin, Henricksen) 2:35 Some choose to remember Some choose to forget Some fall to pieces when they lose their heads I choose to get lucky Don't choose to regret I'll take my chances Only I know best When it all gets down to me 'Cause I am what I am And no one's gonna tell me where or when 'Cause I am what I am And no one's gonna break me down again I hate to be lonely I can't pretend Don't need no phonies tryin' to be my friends Don't care 'bout danger I can take the fall Ev'ryone's a stranger till just one stands tall And it all comes down to me When it all comes down to me 'Cause I am what I am And nobody's gonna tell me where or when 'Cause I am what I am Nothin's gonna break me down again I can hear the devil callin', callin' I can hear him callin' me But I don't do nothin' I don't believe When it all comes down to me When it all gets down to me 'Cause I am what I am And no one's gonna tell me where or when 'Cause I am what I am And nothin's gonna break me down again No, nothin's gonna break me down - again ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Cry Wolf 4:47 (Pesch, Balin, Henricksen) 4:47 We all learn the hard way Like a ride on the rain We try to keep the secrets Tied and chained Out there on the dark side I can hear you call It's so hard to believe you I can't run no more The last time you led 'em all astray But this time you gave yourself away So cry wolf And tell me it's for real Cry wolf Since no one knows the way you feel Cry wolf Your tears are never real And no one comes to hear When you cry wolf We all feel the fences Standing wide and tall Wrapped around our senses Made to fall Outside in the real world Deep inside your mind Lies a lost deceiver I won't wait in line The last time you led 'em all astray This time you gave yourself away Cry wolf And tell me it's for real Cry wolf Till no one knows the way you feel Cry wolf Your tears are never real And no one comes to hear When you cry wolf So cry wolf Cry Cry wolf Cry Cry yeah!
