36 Insane 03:21
Revving up the engine on the road again 3500 miles to the lion's den Across the channel waters on through the lonely night Crossing country borders at the speed of light Take the road rage through the summer rain 36 is insane Navigation chaos in a foreign land Satellite shutdown, no back-up plan 36 hours, tired eyes Seeking destination, Hell over Paradise Take the road rage through the summer rain 36 insane Nobody knows where this road may end No-one knows the way back home Dreams of tomorrow and the path we tread Chasing brighter lights ahead
2.
All aboard the plastic train, the eternity of youth No more the aging skin, no more the snaggletooth Lay me down, mark the line, draw the blade Buying into the image of the static horror smile Selling into the surgeon for a piece of foolish pride Lay me down, mark the line, draw the blade All aboard the plastic train and the everlasting youth Knock the balance of nature, reject the awful truth Fall in love with the ego, skin-deep insanity Hide behind the illusion, hacked for vanity

Ten years gone before me, seems like yesterday One part of my life over, another new part to play It's been heavy duty, I’ve got the scars to prove But I've still got the hunger and I’ve still got the groove Through all the fears, broken hearts and bitter tears Nothing kills the fire inside me As time goes by, part of me will never die I'll be a road dog forever I never used to worry about the world today I never used to bother about the cards I played From innocence to suspicion, these years taught me Looking through the mirror, I’m still who I used to be Through all the fears, broken hearts and bitter tears Nothing kills the fire inside me As time goes by, part of me will never die I'll be a road dog forever Through all the fears, broken hearts and bitter tears Nothing kills the fire inside me And when times change, rock n' roll still bears my name I'll be a road dog forever

Quiet reflection, taking in the view Reading between the criticising few Who to trust and what to listen to Darkness surrounds, searching for the truth In the depths of secret thought March the shadows of doubt Looking through the Inner Eye Who am I anyway? Wandering questions occupy the mind Struggle for balance, imitation by design Who to trust and what to listen to Darkness surrounds, searching for the truth In the depths of secret thought March the shadows of doubt Looking through the inner eye Who am I anyway?
5.
Trust was built up with confidence Security and a true belief Giving back just as good as you got With an eagerness to please But the feeling just ain’t there anymore My allegiance has gone I’m standing on the other side of the door And no-one told me I was wrong You took it all away, black and white turned to grey Should have known still I asked the questions There are two faces on your head, double-sided razor’s edge Only held up by your contradictions Question mark after whatever was said Don’t tie up with the voice in my head Cutting comment to the star in my eye Then a kind word about the ones I despise You took it all away, black and white turned to grey Should have known still I asked the questions There are two faces on your head, double-sided razor’s edge Only held up by your contradictions
6.
Ashamed 03:36
Disappointed, aggravated, consumed by hatred Self-despising, agonising, always compromising Choices made, cards I played, price is yet to be paid Still I cry, I lived a lie and I can't hold my head up high I'm sorry for the things I've done I'm sorry for the person I’ve become Standing up, standing out, I'm free from doubt Changes made, no longer going with the crowd To pay the price, you got to sacrifice Don't get me wrong, the road is long, But you can make it if you stand up strong I'm sorry for the things I've done I'm sorry for the person I’ve become This isn't me, inside I know that I must change Like night to day, to no longer feel...... I'm sorry for the things that I have done I'm sorry for the person I’ve become This isn't me, take a look inside and make that change From night to day and no longer feel so ashamed So ashamed

High 04:43
Someone switch the light one, bring me out the dark Someone tell a story, pick my brain apart Take me places I have never seen before Let me live inside your head free to explore All this time I've been so foolish to ignore High on life now you brought me through the door Lonely as the night hawk, circling round the sky Inject me with your colour, let me fly Take me places I have never seen before Let me live inside your head free to explore All this time I've been so foolish to ignore High on life now you took me in, let me live inside Free to fly, high on life, you set me free Take me places I have never been before Let me live inside your head free to explore All this time I've been a fool to ignore High on life now you took me in, let me live inside Free to fly, high on life, you set me free

Lost 06:00
Little girl lost, looking for the answer Photograph in hand of who she used to be But the hatred deep inside is all she feels tonight Little girl looks through the empty mirror Wonders where she might have lost her happiness But the hatred in her heart..... I know I let you down Left you lost in a world in your head I know its too late now For the words that I wished I had said Left alone, crying out for help Falling, drowning in an empty bed While the hatred of her self blinds any hope left Little girl looks through her empty eyes Softly breathing but barely alive And the heart that once beat strong..... I know I let you down Left you lost in a world in your head I know it’s too late now For the words that I wished I had said Only time will heal the suffering Put the darkness in the past now Light a candle, breathe in deeply and remember Life never started out in this way Little girl finally found the answer Feels the sun on her pale and healing skin And the hatred is all gone.... I know I let you down Left you lost in a world in your head I know it’s too late now For the words that I wished I had said

Altea 02:28

Trapped in a world of dreams Knowing my life is far from how it seems to me in my head Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead ‘cos then I'd be free From the life of an altered reality This has to end some day Can’t go on living my life this way, I must be real It's the only way for me to feel that I'm truly free From the life of an altered reality Now since the day I stood tall, I took heed of the call To be myself and that's how I'll always be No longer living in lies, time has come for the truth to arise, now I'm free From the life of an altered reality

Another candle lit, black ribbon on the wall A country’s nation cries, protests in city hall Innocence shot dead for a piece of land through time All for an independent state, where will they draw the line? Nobody saved us in a world that lost control Hard to believe in truth and justice anymore Searching for reason, look at the human race One minute silence to respect those gone before Two days on death row, covered on TV Cries for hostage’s release and one side to concede But we all knew it was coming, they won’t give in to blackmail As the shot rings out, we’ll always fail Nobody saved us in a world that lost control Hard to believe in truth and justice anymore Searching for reason, look at the human race One minute silence to respect those gone before Why are we living in a world so out of control? I can't believe in truth and justice anymore Searching for reason, look at the human race One minute silence to respect those gone before

A picture in black, a burning nightmare harbouring the clay of my heart Sins of the unborn, giving to Hades You comfort me, soul to hold Granting you power of control Soft yielding flesh that you provide A burning nightmare You give to me what you took from yourself You're broken inside, you'll never be whole Driven back by you conscience You're giving it all The passage of time, a change in the iris The clutches of cold in my heart Forgive and forgotten and never spoke of I reject the soul you once knew Taking control, forcing you over The guilt that flesh provides A change in the iris You're broken inside, you'll never be whole Driven back by your conscience, you're giving it all

Threat is all around Sharks on higher ground Circling for bait Knocking at the gate I believe that we can light the sky High above the deep blue sea If we drop beneath the safety line You'll be there to stop us falling down Promises abound Reaching higher ground Blood drips from the sweat They come crashing in through the iron gates I believe that we can light the sky High above the deep blue sea If we drop beneath the safety line You'll be there to stop us falling (save us when we're falling) there to catch us falling down
14.
A revolution to the old school days Raise a clenched fist and bang your heads A senior class of raising hell and bleeding ears Born into madness, taught through the golden years Heroes sang of devils and crazy times A little too much for the sober minds An ever constant, the lifeblood in our veins This is our history and always will remain Throw your hands up, feel the Rage inside of you This is who we are and are proud to be Crank it up now, feel the noise take over you Take it back, back to the old school

Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud So good I can't believe it screaming with the crowd Don't sweat it, get it back to you Don't sweat it, get it back to you Overkill, Overkill, Overkill On your feet you feel the beat, it goes straight to your spine Shake your head you must be dead if it don't make you fly Don't sweat it, get it back to you Don't sweat it, get it back to you Overkill, Overkill, Overkill Know your body's made to move, feel it in your guts Rock 'n' roll ain't worth the name if it don't make you strut Don't sweat it, get it back to you Don't sweat it, get it back to you Overkill, Overkill, Overkill
