Y2K was a heartbeat away, still everyone sounds the alarm Where did you hide when the digits all turned Did computers and power go down? The party's alive in California In Times Square the clocks ticking on All over the world, spinning out of control Celebration 2000 lives on Something we've never faced before Nothing we've ever seen before But we all made it through the door That leads to the next century Fear of the unknown causes doubt Millenium madness runs about The Turn of the Century rolls on The end of the world has come and gone Believe what you will but life goes on The Turn of the Century lives on --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 3) Speed Demon (Impellitteri / Rock) In the California streets at night You can feel the thunder rising You can hear the screams of tires in the air All the racers in their street machines Gonna push it to the limit Let the engine fly, let the power take you there I need the speed, to touch the sky, it's my religion I burn the nitro in my veins I only live so I can fly, it's my addiction I'm dangerous, I'm not insane If I live to see another day I'll be racing for tomorrow Acceleration keeps the riding on the edge I can breathe beyond the dangerzone Where my freedom likes to hide Gonna ride the wind til I reach the other side I need the speed, to touch the sky, it's my religion I burn the nitro in my veins I only live so I can fly, it's my addiction I'm dangerous, I'm not insane I'm a speed demon I feel the rush, I feel alive I'm a speed demon Adrenaline in overdrive I'm a speed demon I feel the rush, I feel alive I'm a speed demon I'll never drive your 55 I'm a speed demon --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 4) Wake Me Up (Impellitteri / Rock) Thinking about the way you say you love me Thinking about the way you say you care Hoping that you could somehow spare a moment for me But you never have a minute to share Trying so hard to fight against the pressure Looking to find the way to make the grade Banging my head against my own frustration There's no one but myself here to blame I don't know what this life is for What does it mean? Does anybody rally even care? It's only a dream Wake me up, wake me up from this nightmare Wake me up Wake me up, wake me up before I scream Talking to me like I was just a number Putting me down to make me stay in line I'm trying to tell you, but you never listen to me My patience is running out of time Sick and I'm tired of your manipulation Waiting for you to tell me what to do You're slaying away to buy up those possessions you crave That's why Im so invisible to you I don't know what this life is for What does it mean? Does anybody really even care? It's only a dream Wake me up, wake me up from this nightmare Wake me up Wake me up, wake me up before I scream --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5) Spanish Fire (Impellitteri) Instrumental --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6) Slay The Dragon (Impellitteri / Rock) You've got ashes on the tip of your finger You've got secrets in the back of your mind You've been searching for the meaning of evil 'Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life You've been playing with the words of a liar And you're tired of the war that you rage You've been hanging on the edge of the fire And your pride has got you locked in the cage You, you got to find the peace of mind That you've been looking for You, you got to fight to have the life That you've been searching for You gotta slay the dragon, you gotta kill the beast (2) Running through the night trying to feel alright And it's time you want to burn Carry all the weight of your love and hate Will the tables ever turn? Running down the road with a heavy load Trying to leave the world behind Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice And it's time to draw the line When you've reached the end of the road And you find a hole in your soul I believe its time to slay the beast You're still counting on the change of the seasons You've been waiting for the passage of time While your loneliness has taken you hostage You've been hiding in a circle of lies You, you got to find the peace of mind That you've been looking for You, you got to fight to have the life That you've been searching for You gotta slay the dragon, you gotta kill the beast (2) Running through the night trying to feel alright And this time you want to burn Carry all the weight of your love and hate Will the tables ever turn? Running down the road with a heavy load Trying to leave the world behind Listen to the voice 'cause you have a choice And it's time to draw the line When you've reached the end of the road And you find a hole in your soul I believe it's time to slay the beast You've got ashes on the tips of your fingers You've got secrets in the back of your mind You've been searching for the meaning of evil 'Cause you're attracted to the darkness of life You've been playing with the words of a liar And you're tired of the war that you rage You've been hanging on the edge of the fire And your pride has got you locked in the cage You gotta slay the dragon You gotta kill the beast You gotta slay the dragon You gotta kill the beast --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7) Wasted Earth (Impellitteri / Rock) Born in the Age of Technology in the year of our Lord 2023 The earth has been poisoned and we had to leave Now we are all afloat in the stars of the galaxy Two thousand light years away from the sun I'm trapped in a room in this space station Tell me the stories, the  legends and tales Of generation earth and how we prevailed Generation, generation earth will prevail There once was a time When our planet earth was the only place to live But we destroyed it all by taking all she had to give And as we ride through the black horizon I long for the days of old 'Cause I may never set forth on the wasted earth no more Wasted earth There once was a time When our planet earth was the only place to live But we destroyed it all by taking all she had to give And as we ride through the black horizon I long for the days of old 'Cause I may never set forth on the wasted earth no more Wasted earth We took from the land all the fuel and power To fly to the other side We got to find a way to cross the universe again Wasted earth --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8) Forever Yours (Impellitteri / Rock) Take a look at the world today, a lot of love seems to slip away When the feelings start to fade, they start to run It's not the way it's supposed to be The flames of love only set you free To make the choice that you want to be my only one Life, they say, it can take its toll I'm holding on, I won't let you go It's only you that can touch my soul my love I'm forever yours, I love you now for eternity I'm forever yours, in time my love youll see I'm forever yours, I love you more than I ever did I'm forever yours, it's always you and me Forever yours I remember when I began to see The love we share it was meant to be If only you would stand by me we'll beat the odds Trust in me as I trust in you You've got my heart and you know it's true Together we can make it through no matter what The promises and the life we share Together we can go anywhere It's only you that I give my soul my love I'm forever yours, I love you now for eternity I'm forever yours, in time my love you'll see I'm forever yours, I love you more than I ever did I'm forever yours, it's always you and me I'm forever yours, I love you now for eternity I'm forever yours, together, you and me Forever yours --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 9) Texas Nuclear Boogie (Impellitteri) Instrumental --------------------------------------------------------------------------- 10) Fear No Evil (Impellitteri / Rock) Rich man looking down his nose at you He's got the good life and you get abused The Lazarus syndrome is in your face Sores on your back begging at the gate Rich man dies and he goes to hell Wish he had a dime for the wishing well Send down Lazarus to cool my tongue Agony and torment ain't no fun Hell, yeah!
