With my feet firmly on the ground Through my window ... from the sky - flows a lullaby Someone's waiting in my dream Taking me to places that I've never seen Chorus: (Dragonfly) If I had some wings then I could fly (Dragonfly) In my dreams I am the dragonfly I guess I always will be searching I live and learn from my mistakes And all the love that I'm expecting... Is equal to the love I make Little dreamer when evening falls - shadows fall Bring some honey for my soul Take me to the places where I've never been Chorus Chorus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Teaser (Malmsteen / Malmsteen, Edman) 3:28 Teaser Teaser Teaser Getting dressed for the masquerade ... to be the main attraction Might become someone someday ... with the right connection You might find the night so lonely ... but you're not the only one I just wanna go with ecstasy ... to the river of love we run Chorus: Teaser - You've set my heart on fire Teaser - Put out the flames of my desire If you let me stay inside ... I'll give satisfaction In the night we might lose our way ... right in the tunnel of love we ride Chorus (2) I guess that all leads to forever Chorus (2) Yeah yeah yeah Oh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) How Many Miles To Babylon (Malmsteen / Malmsteen, Edman) 6:10 In this wasteland without any shadows There is no water for my dusty throat There is no rainbow days filled with silent sorrow And for our sins there are no antidotes Chorus 1: Eternal sand There is no end to this no man's land We all must pay For the piper we dance while he plays Chorus 2: How many miles - to Babylon How many miles must - I carry on In this our endless searching for the Holy Grail There is no sleep for the souls who find no rest Ships of the desert without rigs and sails Flotsam and Jetsam floating from the west Chorus 1 & 2 Chorus 1 & 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Cry No More (Malmsteen / Malmsteen, Edman) 5:17 There's a time for all our innocence When the tears aren't far away And a time to build a strong defense When the boy's too old to play And we learn the hard way Day by day Giving in but always coming back for more And we cry no more ... cry no more There's a time for games and visions And the stake is more or less There's a time for last decisions When our dreams become success We do anything to raise that score Cause the end will always justify the means And we cry no more Cry no more ... and we cry no more Our year's in misery Made dreams reality, ohh And we cry no more Cry no more ... and we cry no more ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) No Mercy (Malmsteen / Malmsteen, Edman) 5:31 You say you're always right and I'm wrong You tell me I am weak and you are strong Always tried so hard Now you've gone too far I'll give all or nothing now to play my cards You pretend it's for fun In the end when it's done You might say it's a game But I will show no mercy You talk so much but you don't have a clue You lie so much you even think it's true Now I'm in the lead Want to see you bleed Say goodbye I am forever in control Chorus: You must learn oh so well You shall burn in my hell You might say it's a game But I will show no mercy And now it's said and done it's all completed You think you've won you know you are defeated Now it's all so clear I'm your greatest fear You have lived a lie be prepared to die Chorus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) C'est La Vie (Malmsteen / Malmsteen, Edman) 5:18 Fighting the odds while we still have time There is a limit don't cross that line It's no good with wated we cannot drink We're a ship about to sink Chorus 1: We pray but the wall is too high We pay with our lives to the dark tower in the sky Chorus 2: C'est la vie life in the shadows C'est la vie there's no tomorrow Give us back the blue blue sky Where the air is so fresh where eagles fly What good is the planet that's slowly dying What kind of life can it bring Chorus 1 & 2 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Leviathan (Malmsteen) 4:24 Instrumental ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Fire And Ice (Malmsteen / Malmsteen, Edman) 4:30 Everyday is like a set up race And the world is still a lonely place To be or not to be is this the final quiz A flash in the plan goodbye Still shooting for the open sky Between the devil and the deep blue sea I cannot find the compromise Chorus: It's just a reason They bring me down with their lies Don't know the reason My life is fire and ice Tomorrow will be different All you need is just some confidence I dream of being a warrior So far beyond There's a voice that whispers I can fail I believe it's just a trick of the tail Between the devil and the deep blue sea I cannot find the compromise Chorus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Forever Is A Long Time (Malmsteen / Malmsteen, Edman) 4:26 Today I read in a book that some are meant to live forever There's also a nightmare where our dying has no end If I let my will surrender and my flesh be crucified In his name my sins will be sublime Forever is a long long time It's said love is a gift that's given if we're true believers Just make your body and your soul his receivers In this world these golden rules May seem like they're made for fools Puppets on a string that blessing can bring Forever is a long long time But now the wine has turned sour after all these years of fighting So many wars but still his kingdom is not striking Pray for your enemy And love without agony Always ready for his day to come Forever is a long long time Forever is a long time ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 11) I'm My Own Enemy (Malmsteen / Edman) 6:09 From now on I'm dancing with myself To the sound of the blue and broken string Left behind with the dust upon a shelf The remains of a long forgotten song All that we had but now again I stand alone all love has an end Chorus: You cannot see this is my destiny I'm my own enemy In my life there was no one like you You cannot see this is my reality I'm my own enemy In my life there was no one like you From now on I'm sleeping with my shadow In the night my thoughts can be my own All the pain and all the endless sorrow I miss you more than I will ever know Holding you never again It cannot be all love has an end Chorus Now I know there is no one that is waiting At the end of this long and winding road Memories in the dead of night are calling All the way I carry on my heavy load All that we had but now again I stand alone all love has an end Chorus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 12) All I Want Is Everything (Malmsteen) 4:00 Before my eyes the world is falling But through all lies I feel my calling They always said that I can't do it But even so I walked right through it Why can't you see The way that it must be You think you're so strong You know that you're wrong Chorus: Come on woman Just gimme a touch You gotta know I'm not asking too much Once a king always a king All I want is everything You always thought that you were so cool You used to say that I was a fool And all this time you were just a tool You couldn't see that I made the rules I have to feel I know that is for real I gotta live I want all you can give Chorus ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 13) Golden Dawn (Malmsteen) 1:28 Instrumental ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 14) Final Curtain (Malmsteen) 4:46 What's left for me to see In my ship I sailed so far What can the answer be Don't know what the questions are And after all I've done Still I cannot feel the sun Tell me save me In the end our lost souls must repent Chorus: I must know it is for certain Can it be the final curtain As long as the wind will blow I'll be searching high and low Who knows what's really true They say the end is so near Why are we all so cruel We just fill ourselves with fear And heaven and hell will turn All that we love shall burn Hear me trust me In the end our souls must repent Chorus Final curtain (2) ------------------------------------------------------------------------
