Insatiable Velvet glove Unrequited love Find the words And make them rhyme One last dance Hypnotizing trance A knowing glance I love you Closer still Lose your will See my world It's criminal... Insatiable Insatiable Things we hide Keep them out of sight Heard it said It's unbearable Feel my pain Taste my shame Who's to blame Inexcusable ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Stand Up And Fight (Blackmore, White) 5:22 Can't say something if the words ain't there What you trying to do Money can't buy me out of trouble I'm in I've been messing with the likes of you It's been so long since I left my home Looks like I lost my way Tried so hard just to make it work You ... just turn around and walk away Something's got to give I ain't gonna leave Oh no no no Time to dig down deep If you wanna get out of this town alive Oh, you gotta stand and fight So infuriating the way you twist my words, I know you got your problems It seems every day that they're getting much worse I hear you screaming for attention You say your life's a mess Something else to cry about Just get on with it You know that something's got to give I tell you I ain't gonna leave Oh no no no Time to dig down deep If you wanna get out of this town alive Baby, you gotta stand and fight Oh no Hear something ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Ariel (Blackmore, Night) 5:39 I search for her in the dead of night A silhouette lit by candle light In a whispered word she is gone Familiar stranger without a name In a darkened room they all look the same Like the sand of time she slips away So far away In the mirror you can see her face She's an angel dressed in the blackest lace A sip of wine and the game can begin Just an image lost in fantasy Then you touch her and you can't break free Till you see your fate written there in her eyes Ariel Lost in a distant dream Take me home Ariel ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Too Late For Tears (Blackmore, White, Regan) 4:56 Well I'm moving faster close to the edge As I smoke a pack of strong cigarettes When my fears run dry, you won't see me cry Coz I know I got it coming Oh yeah yeah We touched the sun and went on our way And we asked the stars to come out to play But you said good night ... when they lost their light And my world stopped spinning 'round What are we fighting for Dontcha know that no one wins What are we fighting for Just give up and I'll give in It's too late for tears When the things you need are things you don't want And you take the needle right to the point I'd be heaven bound, but you shoot, shoot me down Leave me broke and bleeding on the killing floor ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Black Masquerade (Blackmore, Morris, White, Night) 5:35 I know the key to secrets never told They're hidden in your soul Feelings you hide never wanting me to find Oh, they've always been mine Release ... all the madness within Let it all begin And now you'll see Oh, the dark side of me In our black masquerade Let the moonlight surround you The game that we play... Is the black masquerade The full moon unmasks the stranger in us all And the cruel world takes its toll The shadow is cast on who you used to be Oh, let me set you free Come now Oh, come take my hand Then you'll understand We'll go to that forbidden land Of our black masquerade Let the darkness surround you The game that we play... Is the black masquerade Release ... all the madness within Let it all begin We'll go to that forbidden land Come let me take you there Let the moonlight surround you Don't be afraid It's the black masquerade ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Silence (Blackmore, White) 4:04 You say you want your freedom It all gets a bit out of hand Caught in the ocean as I'm watching you breathe We all believe what we wanted to belive That's the silence of love You say all you want is money You scream for a little bit more Caught in a landslide as we're stumbling on Who'd say we're right but who would say we're wrong In the silence of love You say you need someone to hold you You say that you're feeling afraid I know the worst part of being alone Is a book full of nombers with no one to phone That's the silence of love ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Hall Of The Mountain King (Edward Grieg, arr. by Night, Blackmore) 5:34 Mysteries of ages told, stories now ... will unfold Tales of mystic days of old are hidden in these walls Hear the witches play their tunes, sing their songs to the moon As they play the night will move, in the hall of the mountain king Wild child, so innocent You took that away Thoughts of wonder and surprise ... hide themselves in your eyes As the smoke begins to rise inside the mountain halls Ancient tales of witches' love, answers lie through that door All you'd ever want and more, is calling for you now Through darkend corridors Try but you cannot break free You took her innocence Now you will answer to me Yeah yeah I am the mountain king Are you not afraid? I am the mountain king Listen to the bells In a midnight fantasy, more than any eye can see Hear them laughing crazily, It's out of control Mysteries of ages told, stories now ... will unfold Tales of mystic days of old are hidden in these walls Through darkend corridors Run but you cannot escape You took her innocence And for this crime you must pay I am the mountain king Are you not afraid? I am the mountain king ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Still I'm Sad (Paul Samwell-Smith, Jim McCarty) 5:22 See the stars come fallin' down from the sky Gently passing, they kiss your tear drops dry See the wind come, softly blow Your hair from your face And the rain comes falling down in its crazy way Still I'm sad For myself my tears just fall in the dust As I search in the night and find they're lost See the wind come gently blow Time into my heart And the rain comes falling down while we're apart Still I'm sad ------------------------------------------------------------------------
