Well I've got secrets I could tell ya
A billion tales or more
Mystery is like addiction
When you've got keys to any door
Now I don't know if I'm a hero
I only know what's real
Chasing demons through time's window
Is all I need to make me feel
It's alright
All mine
The power of space and time
Come with me on another journey
And live your dreams where you can fly
Come on
Well sometimes it just makes me wonder
If all I do is right
Good and evil aren't so clear now
Nothing seems so black or white
Questions slowly drive me crazy
But still I make my move
The changes that I make define me
Somehow I've just got to prove
It's alright
No time
I feel I'm crossing the line
Am I saving the world again
Or am I turning another blind eye
No time
I feel I'm losing my mind
Am I saving the world again
While somewhere someone else will die

Devil On Your Shoulder
Excitement and danger -- it's all about the rush
Death and the gambler -- hearts about to crush
Risking it all -- caution to the wind
Whispering demon urging you to sin
No one knows -- no one ever will
Let's go steal another thrill
Oh oh -- devil on your shoulder
Oh oh
Adrenaline pumping -- higher than the sky
Fever on fire -- with fire you can fly
Smiling and lying -- play it like a game
Lives on the table -- pay the price of fame
No one knows -- no one ever will
Let's go make another kill
Oh oh -- devil on your shoulder
Oh no -- evil in your eyes
Oh oh -- devil on your shoulder
Oh oh
Death and the gambler -- hearts about to crush
Risking it all -- caution to the wind
Whispering demon urging you to sin
No one knows -- no one ever will
Let's go steal another thrill
Oh oh -- devil on your shoulder
Oh oh
Adrenaline pumping -- higher than the sky
Fever on fire -- with fire you can fly
Smiling and lying -- play it like a game
Lives on the table -- pay the price of fame
No one knows -- no one ever will
Let's go make another kill
Oh oh -- devil on your shoulder
Oh no -- evil in your eyes
Oh oh -- devil on your shoulder
Oh oh

Warman
So begins the deadly dance -- the inner war is waged
Mind and matter meet and clash -- all systems engage
You and I were wed in blood and so we'll part the same
Your life is mine; I am the judge -- Warman is my name
I -- I am the essence
You are but flesh
And I -- I have the power
You remember this
I am Warman -- blood and pain won't bring me down
I am Warman -- take the reins and seize the crown
All hail Warman -- enemy be warned, beware
I am Warman -- it's you and me and all is fair
Warman
All these years I've been alive, imprisoned in this cell
No one knows the man inside -- none shall see his private hell
Violent dreams of vengeance are the flames behind the veil
I know that I can end this -- the spirit shall prevail
I -- I am the essence
You are all but flesh
And I -- I have the power
You remember this
I am Warman -- blood and pain won't bring me down
I am Warman -- take the reins and seize the crown
All hail Warman -- enemy be warned, beware
I am Warman -- it's you and me and all is fair
Warman
Bodies wither -- turn to sand
The mask is never true
I'd rather die by my own hand
Than live as you
I am Warman -- blood and pain won't bring me down
I am Warman -- take the reins and seize the crown
All hail Warman -- enemy be warned, beware
I am Warman -- it's you and me and all is fair
Mind and matter meet and clash -- all systems engage
You and I were wed in blood and so we'll part the same
Your life is mine; I am the judge -- Warman is my name
I -- I am the essence
You are but flesh
And I -- I have the power
You remember this
I am Warman -- blood and pain won't bring me down
I am Warman -- take the reins and seize the crown
All hail Warman -- enemy be warned, beware
I am Warman -- it's you and me and all is fair
Warman

Tears Of My Immortal Soul
I walk a lonely road of silent dreams
The echoes of my footsteps shouting back at me
Why should I be surprised -- of all the things I've left behind
The faces that I've worn before still cry
No
Take me back -- take me away
Don't want to see tomorrow
So go
Leave me here just for today
Yesterday will follow
I know the time has come
Listen
Listen close -- tell me you hear
The words I've never spoken
They're here
Written in my eyes with my tears
My soul through windows broken
Somewhere, sometime, somehow
Some souls are never alive
But those that never die
Lose so much more than time
Standing at the stone that marks my earthly bed
Graves are for the living; not the dead
The echoes of my footsteps shouting back at me
Why should I be surprised -- of all the things I've left behind
The faces that I've worn before still cry
No
Take me back -- take me away
Don't want to see tomorrow
So go
Leave me here just for today
Yesterday will follow
I know the time has come
Listen
Listen close -- tell me you hear
The words I've never spoken
They're here
Written in my eyes with my tears
My soul through windows broken
Somewhere, sometime, somehow
Some souls are never alive
But those that never die
Lose so much more than time
Standing at the stone that marks my earthly bed
Graves are for the living; not the dead
Signs Of Life
Like the last of dying autumn
When the leaves, they fall like coloured rain
I await the shock of winter
All I know will be frozen again
I will watch the sky for fire
For the sign in the night that they have come
All around the world we'll shiver
As the hungry devour the sun
Alone is the heart that wanders
But it sees with eternal eyes
Signs of life
It's been kept for a hundred millennia
The secret -- the promise that they'd return
From a place that sleeps in the universe
Where the wheel of creation still turns
There are beings that walk among us
And they carry the knowledge of far away
And I'm haunted by more than the memories
I still hear every word that they say
Alone is the heart that wanders
But it knows with an infinite mind
Signs of life
One alone stands still
As planets shatter
Sees -- feels it all fall again
And nothing matters
It's death and it's life for all
It's now or never
Rise, fly high, crash down
Forever and ever
Skies of eternity hear my cries
But I can't break free
Alone in the universe
Take my soul -- abate this curse
When the leaves, they fall like coloured rain
I await the shock of winter
All I know will be frozen again
I will watch the sky for fire
For the sign in the night that they have come
All around the world we'll shiver
As the hungry devour the sun
Alone is the heart that wanders
But it sees with eternal eyes
Signs of life
It's been kept for a hundred millennia
The secret -- the promise that they'd return
From a place that sleeps in the universe
Where the wheel of creation still turns
There are beings that walk among us
And they carry the knowledge of far away
And I'm haunted by more than the memories
I still hear every word that they say
Alone is the heart that wanders
But it knows with an infinite mind
Signs of life
One alone stands still
As planets shatter
Sees -- feels it all fall again
And nothing matters
It's death and it's life for all
It's now or never
Rise, fly high, crash down
Forever and ever
Skies of eternity hear my cries
But I can't break free
Alone in the universe
Take my soul -- abate this curse
Beyond Redemption
Born of maid -- an act of God to save them from themselves
A mission made for martyrs on a burning trail to Hell
For darkness dictates life on Earth and evil reigns supreme
A world too far polluted and a race you can't redeem
Try
Against all odds you fight
To show the path to light
Behold, the sun shines through
False hope
The sky, it turns to black
At once they turn their backs
The prophecy holds true
No time for redemption for the souls of the depraved
No angel's intervention could save you from the grave
Believe in you; deceive you -- it's a cruel game that they play
The sun will rise tomorrow but the light still fades away
Walk on water, raise the dead, impress them with your gifts
But miracles are fleeting -- not enough to seal the rift
Love and adoration turn to hatred in the end
Denial and betrayal forging enemies from friends
Go
Don't try to make them learn
'Cause they'll only make you burn
And you know that they don't care
Don't wait
There's no chance left for you
For they know not what they do
And God knows they don't care
No time for redemption for the souls of the depraved
No angel's intervention could save you from the grave
Believe in you; deceive you -- it's a cruel game that they play
The sun will rise tomorrow but the light still fades away
And so the stones are cast before the verdict's even in
Unholy guilt in eyes that seek to witness human sin
None dare protest to stop the crime -- objections go unsaid
Gazing blind, a sightless void -- dead observing dead
High
Raised above the crowd
Like thorns that lace your crown
Are eyes that pierce your mind
Die
By the same hands that will pray
To a God that they betrayed
For the saviour of mankind
No time for redemption for the souls of the depraved
No angel's intervention could save you from the grave
Believe in you; deceive you -- it's a cruel game that they play
The sun will rise tomorrow but the dark will cease to fade
A mission made for martyrs on a burning trail to Hell
For darkness dictates life on Earth and evil reigns supreme
A world too far polluted and a race you can't redeem
Try
Against all odds you fight
To show the path to light
Behold, the sun shines through
False hope
The sky, it turns to black
At once they turn their backs
The prophecy holds true
No time for redemption for the souls of the depraved
No angel's intervention could save you from the grave
Believe in you; deceive you -- it's a cruel game that they play

Whom Gods Destroy
One glance at the mask of death
The whispered hush of a shadow's breath
Just one touch could tear your soul away
Scales hanging poised in space
A fragile balance shifting weights
Close to the edge and drawing near the flame
Inside you hold it all
But fear can cheat the brave
And controls your heart and soul
To believe gives endless power
The darkness of the mind
The spell that binds
So tip the scales, but understand
Whom gods destroy, they first make mad
An angel's face -- the devil's hand
Whom gods destroy, they first make mad
Light shines in the darkest way
A brilliance veiled in shades of grey
Tainted gold -- the genius of the fool
Dreams rain down like drops of sun
Flood your senses, one by one
Drown your mind within the golden pool
Inside you've got it all
But light can make you blind
And it rules your heart and soul
To believe gives endless power
The sparkle in your eyes
Another spell that binds
So tip the scales, but understand
Whom gods destroy, they first make mad
An angel's face -- the devil's hand
Whom gods destroy, they first make mad
As mortal heroes crumble, seek the sky
Divinity eternal never dies
Forever faces cast in stone become the gods of flesh and bone
Take your place among them -- choose your side
You cross the dusky line and venture into black
As angels try and fail to pull you back
And spectres of your sanity, they cry out as they die
Fading to their graves behind your eyes
And the vision shines
Vivid colours paint the blackest lie
Great potential you possessed, now ashes in the wind
Scattered by your demons deep within
'Cause power without fail corrupts the saintliest of men
And as it was before will be again
Again, again and again
Portrait of a genius now insane
The whispered hush of a shadow's breath
Just one touch could tear your soul away
Scales hanging poised in space
A fragile balance shifting weights
Close to the edge and drawing near the flame
Inside you hold it all
But fear can cheat the brave
And controls your heart and soul
To believe gives endless power
The darkness of the mind
The spell that binds
So tip the scales, but understand
Whom gods destroy, they first make mad
An angel's face -- the devil's hand
Whom gods destroy, they first make mad
Light shines in the darkest way
A brilliance veiled in shades of grey
Tainted gold -- the genius of the fool
Dreams rain down like drops of sun
Flood your senses, one by one
Drown your mind within the golden pool
Inside you've got it all

And it rules your heart and soul
To believe gives endless power
