What could it be, are they comin' for me In the night a child's cryin' All lost in another disease Can't stand it in the name of God Can't blame it in the name of peace I'll trade you a hand grenade For a night that doesn't scream Down to the bone we fight with passion Keep a secret, lose the faith Keep your distance, feel the pain Keep the fire, take the blame Does heaven bleed? What could it be, are they comin' for me And if I saw you Would you recognize my face War can change you Rearrange you all the same ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Can't Stop Thinking About You (Pesch, Ponti, Celli, Levin) 4:19 Losin' sleep almost lost my mind Feel my veins squeezin' me so nice Sexy junkie sexy fix What you got in your bag of tricks? Come take me erase me You're fire and I'm gasoline Let's do something that's front page news Hey! can't stop thinking about you Leave your innocence black and blue Hey! can't stop thinking about you We can walk on the razor's edge We can bleed such a pretty red If we fall then it's just a dream Danger you and danger me Come with me, so easy You're fire and I'm gasoline Are you ready, so tell me Are you scared Oh let me undress you to your soul Come take me ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Don't Mistake It For Love (Pesch, Ponti, Douglas) 4:22 What a dream come true I got the biggest mother f..king crush on you My whole body shakes I know I'm gonna break But God I'm craving for more The only thing I really feel is the regret of my heart Killing you with kindness Like a junkie pushing all his shots I'll take a bullet in for you Or whatever you want me to But don't you mistake it for love I'll walk the razors just for you To show you a thing or two But don't you mistake it for love When you come in view I'm keeping cool but man I'm so damn hot for you I thought it would be fun But then again I think it's turnin' upside down, down, down Many times I realise all the damage that is to be done If you wanna see over the edge I already feel like a loaded gun So you wanna play? You wanna play with fire baby? I'll show you fire You're lookin' right at it Watch me burn into your bloody soul ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Desperately (Pesch, Ponti, Frazee) 4:58 I might walk along the shadows Where I find my soul awake as I sleep Oh my God there's rain when you're gone What we need in ourselves We can't find in our dreams There's a fire storm deep inside of me Could it be my heart desperately If the tears I cry bring you to your knees Could you ever feel desperately Now the dream I had is over Somehow I know it wasn't me Oh my God there was ice when you ran What I need to believe is the reason of time Can't you listen I hear a heartbeat Or maybe thunder When you're alone it all sounds the same Have you ever been desperate ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Love Is A Thrill (Pesch, Ponti, Smith) 4:06 Prepare to dine in the darkest hour I hope you like what I feed And be my guest at this special party You'll look so good on your knees Can't start without you, I guess I'll wait I hear the thunder comin' with the rain Love is the thrill, dare I touch Love is the pain, one to one Deep in the heart, shadows come Love is the thrill of fear I love Now would you dance in the mirror for me And would you fly through the air Be my soul if I'm feeling empty Be my eyes when I stare Can't be without you I hope you'll stay I won't release you, no you won't get away Now if you have a second, I'd like to taste your rage Here in the heat of passion, we find another age My blood, your blood, our blood tonight Can't start without you, I guess I'll wait I hear the thunder comin' with the rain ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Light In The Window (Pesch, Ponti, Tate) 4:24 Lonely souls lost out on the highway Waited all night long but no one's going my way And you know it's a long way home Here I go barely holdin' on I wish I knew all the reasons why My life just seems to pass me by Keep a light on in the window Say a prayer for me my friend Keep a light on in the window Don't give up on me cause I'll be back again One more night lying here without you Such a lonely fight don't know how to get through I have dreamed of a perfect world But down here it just keeps on hurtin' Where can I turn to I wish I knew Is it too much of me to ask of you Keep a light on in the window Say a prayer for me my love Keep a light on in the window Don't give up on me cause you're the only one It's hard to get back once you've been there Oh heaven knows how hard I've tried It's hard forgettin' what you witness Once you've seen the other side So hard to forget Keep a light on in the window Say a prayer for me my friend Keep a light on in the window Don't give up on me - don't give up Keep a light on in the window Say a prayer for me my friend Keep a light on in the window Keep your faith in me until we meet again ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11) Welcome To The Tribe (Pesch, Ponti, Celli, Levin) 3:25 You hear it callin' It's coming tonight on the wind A love as old as the earth and original sin If I lay my arms around you Would you fall apart on me Close your eyes as I take you Into the tribe A lovely night as I take you Into the tribe Take my hand take a bite Take a look in the past We were one we were here Through eternity's dance When I lay this kiss upon you You will never leave oh no Close your eyes ... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12) Like Whiskey Straight (Pesch, Ponti, Smith) 4:38 Down on your knees I send you Crawl on some broken glass Barbed wire, heart is waking Feeds on the night's demands If I fall to the ground in pieces I can't work with a safety net I can run with the best of storm clouds Don't love me, now don't bet Take me somewhere, take me nowhere Take my love like whiskey straight Take me over, take me under Take my love like whiskey straight Down to the wall of secrets Down to the sea of sin Only one way to get me going Only one way to ever win Now I won't stand for crazy stories I take words like whiskey straight First you'll laugh, then you'll laugh no more no I'm different, you're not safe What you wanna do You wanna take me or what What you wanna say We feel so hot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13) In Freiheit Stirbt Mein Herz (Pesch, Ponti, Slick) 5:42 Halt mich fester Lass mich nie wieder los Geh mit mir auf jeden Weg Egal wohin -
