Burn 04:40
Song Lyrics Flames so high, seen by the satellite in the sky. Oh burn fire from hell, that we may live to tell. What destruction you brought, what pain you wrought. Burn, burn, burn, burn Burn higher, burn hotter, burn brighter, burn faster Burn, burn, burn, burn Burn higher, burn hotter, burn brighter, burn faster Burn, burn, burn A captivating sight, your beautiful burning light. What feeds & gives you life, & sustains your flames through the night. An overwhelming feeling of frustration. Met by the fire-fighters fatigue and exhaustion. The time has come to evacuate, what am I to take? My heart aches for the keepsakes the fire will take. I have my son, I have my dog, I have my life. My husband’s away. I’m glad he’s not here to see this. Burn, burn, burn, burn Burn higher, burn hotter, burn brighter, burn faster Burn, burn, burn, burn Burn higher, burn hotter, burn brighter, burn faster Burn, burn, burn A captivating sight, your beautiful burning light. What feeds & gives you life, & sustains your flames through the night. With devouring rage of orange and gold. You light up the night sky to behold. The ash that settles, remnant of your existence Embers burnt into our memory that will fade into the distance As with every day dawns a new beginning As life rejuvenates with natures giving Burn, burn, burn, burn Burn higher, burn hotter, burn brighter, burn faster Burn, burn, burn, burn Burn higher, burn hotter, burn brighter, burn faster Burn, burn, burn .....

Catch Me Now 05:19
I hear a whisper, then a sigh. I let out a whimper and then a cry. I’m bleeding out! The stabbing pain, hits me again. I’m falling, catch me now. I’m calling, hear me now. I’m falling, catch me now. Oh It’s getting darker, and I am cold. It’s now quieter, and my mind unfolds. As I grasp to hold on, you let me go. I’m falling, catch me now. I’m calling, hear me now. I’m falling, catch me now. Oh what is happening, is this real Never knew this is how I’d feel. What is happening, is this real Never knew this is how I’d feel. Oh As I breathe out one last breath, I really thought I had more time left. There’s no more pain. No more to gain. I’ll miss the rain. I’m soaring! You won’t catch me now I’m not calling for you now. I’m soaring! You won’t catch me now. Oh I see your weeping. I feel your pain. My words don’t reach you. They are in vain. No need for tears. No need for fears. It was just a game. I’m soaring! You won’t catch me now I’m not calling for you now. I’m soaring! You won’t catch me now. And on the edge, I stand A new beginning at hand. On the edge I stand. A new beginning at hand. Hope you understand.

A new age of terror A fear the world has never faced before. Is this a sign of things to come? Is this a sign humanity is done? a world at war…. when will we learn? When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop? When will the fear pass? When will it stop? When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop? When will the fear pass? When will it stop? Impossible to forget, and so hard to forgive. Our candles lit, as the world grieves. Our hearts go out to all those bereaved. Ah……for the children of war. When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop? When will the fear pass? When will it stop? When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop? When will the fear pass? When will it stop? What is this hatred that murders our youth? Their innocence betrayed by the honour of war When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop? When will the fear pass? When will it stop? When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop? When will the fear pass? When will it stop? They fight for a cause, but what cause is worth more than life They fight for religion, but religion teaches love They fight for power and might, but true strength is shown in tenderness They fight for revenge; they fight for those they’ve lost And their pain and hatred breed more war When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop? When will the fear pass? When will it stop? When will the killing cease? When will the terror stop? When will the fear pass? When will it stop? When will it stop? When will it stop?

Scars 06:36
I put on a smile and pretend that life is good for a while. But I’m broken inside, and I can’t let these feelings slide. You can’t see my scars. I’ve hidden them deep within. But sometimes you’ll see demons rise in my eyes. And I want to scream, so I cry to the angels. I want to scream, so I cry to the angels. “Take my demons within”. I’ll show you my scars, if you show me yours. I’ll show you my hell, if you show me yours. I can see your scars now. I can see you for who you are. But sometimes you’ll see demons rise in my eyes. And I want to scream, so I cry to the angels. I want to scream, so I cry to the angels. “Take my demons within”. I put on a smile, and life is good for a while. I see your courage and pain, let me lighten your burden. You can tend to my scars, and I’ll tend to yours. But sometimes you’ll see demons rise in my eyes. And I want to scream, so I cry to the angels. I want to scream, so I cry to the angels. “Take my demons within”. “Take my demons within”.

Sweet Irony 03:13
Love so sweet, love so cruel. You have no bounds; you have no rules. What tearful joy you offer to all. Who open their hearts to your unraveled turmoil. Sweet Irony, you make me laugh. You make me cry, give me life and wings to fly. You can lift a soul and empower men. Or claw through their hearts, bring them crashing down again. Cruel beauty for all to see. Can destroy a man’s heart for eternity. Or give him strength and confidence. But more than that a sense of completeness.

How can we heal the world of pain and sorrow? How can you love if love was never shown to you? Heal this world, heal our hearts. Let cynics believe love is the start. Heal this world, heal our hearts. Let cynics believe love is the start of it all. I am only one person, but I can make a start in the world and take some pain away. We’ve only one world, we’ve only one life, let’s start and make a difference today. Heal this world, heal our hearts. Let cynics believe love is the start. Heal this world, heal our hearts. Let cynics believe love is the start of it all. The angel of death stands before us all. ready to catch us when we fall. And when I die, I want to go, knowing I tried, to show the world. When I die, I want to go, knowing I tried, to show the world love is all. Take my hand, let’s make a stand; were stronger, stronger together. Heaven’s way…, it is the way; showing light of a world that could be. Heal this world, heal our hearts. Let cynics believe love is the start. Heal this world, heal our hearts. Let cynics believe love is the start of it all. And when I die, I want to go, knowing I tried, to show the world. When I die, I want to go, knowing I tried, to show the world love is all. love is all, love is all, love is all!

Shattered 03:47
All my dreams shattered; All my hopes shattered What am I to do? All my love shattered. Life shattered. Where am I to go? Will you help me? Can you help me, if I call? How will I know you to be a friend? How can I trust you to lend a hand? My secret is safe with me and nobody knows, the pain that I live with…the shame that grows. All my strength shattered; Faith shattered. I’ve no dignity. All my love shattered. Life shattered. Who will help me? I’m alone, in my home; I’ve no more tears. I know that you’ll hurt me again and again. However, I feel that I am to blame. My secret is safe with me and nobody knows, the pain that I live with…the shame that grows.

Masquerade 05:43
I see faces, lots of faces, but what is real? The masks so pretty, but none are real. Masquerade, our masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade. I’m dancing with you. A masquerade Ball. But who are you? It’s so pretty! But nothing’s real. Pretending to be so you cannot see The pain that destroyed internally Sometimes I think you want to see But then put on the mask and hide from me. Masquerade, our masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade. I’m dancing with you. A masquerade Ball. But who are you? It’s so pretty! But nothing’s real. I feel you close to me, but don’t know if it’s real I want to believe you so supress what I feel I fight back the tears and put on the mask To continue living as if there is no past Masquerade, our masquerade, masquerade, masquerade, masquerade. I’m dancing with you. A masquerade Ball. But who are you? It’s so pretty! But nothing’s real. I see faces, lots of faces, but what is real? The masks so pretty, but none are real.

Close that door; I say again, close that door. Close that door; I say again, close that door. When one door closes, another opens for sure. When one door closes, there are bound to be more. I’m in a mood tonight; I’m holding on too tight Onto anger and fear now I’m ready for the fight. Out on the edge, no bars held, out in the cold, out in the dark I look to my mind that imprisons me; I look through the bars and long to be free. When one door closes, another opens for sure. When one door closes, there are bound to be more. I’m in a mood tonight; I’m holding on too tight Onto anger and fear now I’m ready for the fight. It’s so risqué, what can I say, what should I do, I’m comin through; give me a break for God’s sake, I want to be me…I want to be free, leave me alone on my own. Close that door; I say again, close that door Close that door; I say again, close that door Out on the edge, no bars held, out in the cold, out in the dark. I look to my heart of fire and ice, I’m playing the cards, throwing the dice. When one door closes, another opens for sure. When one door closes, there are bound to be more. I’m in a mood tonight; I’m holding on too tight. Onto anger and fear now I’m ready for the fight. Close that door; I say again, close that door. Close that door; I say again, close that door. Close that door. Close that door. I’m in a mood tonight; I’m holding on too tight. Onto anger and fear now I’m ready for the fight. I’m ready for the fight. Ready for the fight.

Now the time has come for all mankind to stand together. Those who try to divide must be exposed for their agenda. Their tools drive us apart, as they plan our destruction. They fly the flag of freedom, but freedom flies against their wind. And the power game continues day after day with us. Our lives continue the same as before for us, never aware of the true forces at play. Stars will shine ever bright over all of us. Peace can become a way of life for us, if we could only see the reality. Our lives a game of chess played by those with all the power. See their game for what it is…we a dark horse that will not cower. Now, the powers that be sell you and me as the enemy. And the price of this will be the demise of humanity. For we know that every day people are dying in silence. And violence will bring down a nation, love can build, love can build. And the power game continues day after day with us. Our lives continue the same as before for us, never aware of the true forces at play. Stars will shine ever bright over all of us. Peace can become a way of life for us, if we could only see the reality. Our lives a game of chess played by those with all the power. See their game for what it is…we a dark horse that will not cower. For we know that every day, people are dying in silence. And violence will bring down a nation, love can build, love can build.

I lie beside you and feel an outsider. Never felt so lonely, your heart the liar. My love like the tides, ever changing and deep. a swell of emotions that cause me to weep. But we have only one life, no second chance. Believe in yourself, believe you can dance. Love like a child, like there’s no tomorrow. Remember to laugh and know there’ll be sorrow. Love like a child, like there’s no tomorrow. Remember to laugh and know there’ll be sorrow. After the pain, the sun will rise again. An ocean of broken promises, a sea of broken hearts. Shipwrecked and discarded, I fall apart. We’ve sailed these seas, year after year. With storms of deception, we live in fear. But we have only one life, no second chance. Believe in yourself, believe you can dance. Love like a child, like there’s no tomorrow. Remember to laugh and know there’ll be sorrow. Yes, we have only one life, no second chance. Believe in yourself, believe you can dance. Love like a child, like there’s no tomorrow. Remember to laugh and know there’ll be sorrow. Love like a child, like there’s no tomorrow. Remember to laugh and know there’ll be sorrow. After the pain, the sun will rise again. Love like a child, like there’s no tomorrow. Remember to laugh and know there’ll be sorrow. Love like a child, like there’s no tomorrow. Remember to laugh and know there’ll be sorrow. After the pain, the sun will rise again. Yes, the sun will rise again. The sun will rise again.

Give me strength, keep me strong. In your mind I live on. Give me courage to let go of this world. Hold my spirit keep me strong. In your heart I live on. The memory of you I hold true. I must go. Say goodbye. I must go. Time to go home. Carry on and farewell. Missed by all who remain. You are free of the world and its pain. Passing by, you touched my life. Joy you brought; kindness felt. And you danced with love for all to see. I must go. Say goodbye. I must go. Time to go home I must go. Let me go. I must go home. I must go, go home, to stay. Proud and strong, Your bright smile lit a room. I will always remember days gone by. Hold my spirit keep me strong. In your heart I live on. The memory of you I hold true. I must go. Say goodbye. I must go. Time to go home. I must go. Say goodbye. I must go home. I must go, go home, to stay.

Quicksand 04:09
Never meant to make you cry. Never meant for our love to die. A dying kiss to say goodbye. Like quicksand our time’s run by. Emotions to and fro, like the seasons that come and go. I will move on from you, but still catch myself thinking about you. Although we’ve gone our separate way my heart still holds a place for you my love. Never meant to make you cry. Never meant for our love to die. A dying kiss to say goodbye. Like quicksand our time’s run by. I will always remember, the time we shared together. I will love again, but still catch myself thinking about you. Although we’ve gone our separate way, my heart still holds a place for you my love. We’ve come into this world. And meet people on the way. Some may only stay a day or two. Some will inspire us on our way. Although we’ve gone our separate way, my heart still holds a place For you my love. Never meant to make you cry. Never meant for our love to die. A dying kiss to say goodbye. Like quicksand our time’s run by. Like quicksand our time’s run by.
