Sometimes I wonder who you are So close, but we've gone too far Chorus: How long can I hold on till you say good-bye baby You're gone and it's so wrong and now my heart cries for you girl My heart cries for you Lonely days, fill my nights with such sorrow Shades of gray, urn into black tomorrow Sometimes I wonder where you are Where you are So close, but your eyes are so far How long can I hold on till you say good-bye baby You're gone, I can't go on and now my heart cries for you My heart cries for you Yeah yeah Hold on, yeah Chorus How long can I hold on till you say good-bye baby How long ... hold on You're gone, so wrong My heart cries for you Hold on (4) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Heaven Tonight (Malmsteen / Turner) 4:06 Chorus 1: This feels like Paradise We'll be in heaven tonight Lost in a dream in the arms of the night Two lonely prisoners of our own device Don't let me go, hold on together You wanna know if love can be real I wanna take everything I can steal Love on the line, it's now or never Why can't the night last forever Chorus 2: This feels like Paradise Holding you here by my side If we just close our eyes We'll be in heaven tonight Run through the night down streets of desire Burning my soul, my heart's on fire Give up the fight, it's sweet surrender With trembling hands we reach for it all Two desperate hearts waiting to fall I need you now, now more than ever Why can't the night last forever Chorus 2 (3) This feels like Paradise Holding you here by my side If we just hold on tight We'll be in heaven tonight Chorus 2 Chorus 3 (2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Dreaming (Tell Me) (Malmsteen) 5:19 Shades of night, fall upon my eyes Lonely world leads away Misty light, shadows start to rise Lonely world leads away In my dreams your face is all I see Through the night you share your love with me Dreaming visions of you Feeling all the love I never knew Here we are on the crossroads of forever Shining star lights the way Walk with me on the winds of time Love's mystery is for us to find Chorus Oh I'm dreaming Until the day (2) I find you I won't rest, I won't let go Somewhere, someway I know I'll be beside you To warm my heart And fill my soul Dreaming, only dreaming (2) Dreaming...

Riot In The Dungeons (Malmsteen / Turner) 4:22 Locked up in chains, backs to the wall Tick like a time bomb till we hear the call Pushed from the outside, thrown underground Frozen in time we wait for the sound Chorus: Oh, I feel something coming Feels like a riot in the dungeons You stand and die or start your running Cause there's a riot in the dungeons Trapped behind bars prisoners of death All hope is yours, we can't give up yet Ready to fight to get what we need Die on your feet or live on your knees Chorus It's got to give it's gonna break Dying to live, our freedom's at stake Beating the odds with your hearts and blood We won't give in till they've had enough Chorus Yeah ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Deja Vu (Malmsteen / Turner) 4:17 I always knew, somewhere in time We'd meet again, we'd cross the line Don't need to question, there's no reason why The answer lies before your eyes Chorus 1: Do you know who I am Do you understand Chorus 2: Deja vu, dreams come true I see my soul inside of you Deja vu, so many lives Familiar spirits behind your eyes We cross between worlds through windows of light With open arms back the night The crystal of power we hold in our hands We go on forever and love is the plan Chorus 1 & 2 Deja vu, dreams come true I see my soul inside of you Deja vu, somewhere in time We'd meet again, we'd cross the line Deja vu, so many lives Familiar spirits behind your eyes Deja vu, dreams come true I see my soul inside of you Deja vu ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Crystal Ball (Malmsteen / Turner) 4:55 We hold the secret to a dream We keep it wrapped in chains, locked inside a mystery We climb a stairway to the stars Through doorways of the heart, step inside the magic stars Chorus 1: Gaze into my crystal ball See what lies behind the wall Can't you feel the wonder of it all In my crystal ball You veil your eyes in fantasy Time to pull the curtain back Distant worlds, so much to see Chorus 1 Chorus 2: I wanna know you, come on let me show you the way I really wanna hold you, reach out for these hands of fate Chorus 2 This is the moment we've been waiting for, yeah yeah Chorus Gaze into my crystal ball See what lies behind the wall Can't you feel the wonder of it all In my... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Now Is The Time (Malmsteen / Turner) 4:34 Wow Yeah Hold on tight in the heat of the night Baby there can be no escape Feelings tight, getting hard to fight Baby there's so much can I take Tell me that it's real, everything you feel What am I supposed to do Look into my eyes, touch me deep inside Let me feel your love cut through Chorus: Oh oh, now is the time Feeling you hear so close to mine Oh oh, I wnat to touch, need you so much Now is the time for our love Time for our love Drowning in the flames, in the sea of desire Angel with the devil's eyes Turns up the heat and we fall in the fire Can't you feel the temperature rise Tell me that it's true, you can feel it too Let me be your fantasy Baby hold me tight, say that it's alright You know you can count on me Chorus When the fire starts I can feel you burning tonight With an open heart... Baby won't you let me inside Let me inside girl Chorus (2) Oh oh, now is the time Feeling you hear so close to mine Oh oh, I wnat to touch... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Faster Than The Speed Of Light (Malmsteen / Turner) 4:30 Step inside the dream machine You're on a power drive Feel the passion of the beast Watch it come alive Ooh, you're almost there, ride on silver air You better hold on tight, she's fire in the night Chorus: Faster than the speed of light Hugging all the nerves, hang on to your life Faster than the speed of light Super charging and flying low, liquid dynamite Get you upon the wheel The pedal to the floor Now it's time for nerves of steel Hear the engine roar Ooh, you shoot the thrill, heading for the kill Got no control tonight, she's fire in the night Chorus Rev it to the Red line You're tearing up the street 12 cylinders and she's all mine She's too tough to beat Ooh, you shoot the thrill, heading for the kill Got no control tonight, she's liquid dynamite Chorus (2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11) Krakatau (Malmsteen) 6:06 Instrumental ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12) Memories (Malmsteen) 1:14 Instrumental ------------------------------------------------------------------------
