NO TURNING BACK
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Chris Logan) 4:36
The first time I felt that rush
I knew I had to take that ride
So I packed up all I had
Said I'd give it all 'till the day I die
And sometimes
That's what it takes
To win the life you're after
There's a way if you believe it
But there's no turning back
If you play you've gotta seize it
Well I never was the kind to relate
To the rules - The complicate my life
So I did things my own way
And I always heard them say
Boy - You're only wastin time
That's what it takes
To win the life I'm after
There's no turning back
There's a way if you believe it
There's a way if you believe it
MY TIME'S UP
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Chris Logan) 3:37
Used to love you like an angel
Runnin' blind into the sea
Now it seems there's no relation
Can't figure it out
Just what it is you want from me
Well I know
Nothin' lasts forever
I see the signs
The ties are breakin'
We're runnin' outa time
I see the lightning on the wall
Oooo - I feel a downpour comin' on!
My Time's Up
Find someone else to keep you satisfied
Ooo girl, you never know what you'll find
My Time's Up
Nothin' seems to keep you..
Used to be in fascination
Rushin' headlong to your door
Now I spend my time resenting
Tryin' to get myself back up off the floor
My Time's Up
Find someone else to keep you satisfied
Ooo girl, you never know what you'll find
Nothin' seems to keep you satisfied
Hard to get back
Time's a wastin'
My Time's Up
Ooo girl, you never know what you'll find
My Time's Up
Nothin' seems to keep you satisfied
FALLEN THE LOVE
(Schenker/Logan/Patlan) 4:28
Fallen the love we had
Should've seen her coming from a mile away
It was the fire that she had within I saw
Now all I have is blackened days
Yeah she took me down the hard way
All I could want
Everything I hoped for
No way I could be blind
Here it comes again
Same old story every time
Woah, Lord
How long
Fallen, the leaves are grey
Well I tried and tried to get her on the phone
Cuz I'm sick and tired of bein' all alone
Well I played her game I got a losing hand
Yeah, she dropped me short of the promised land
Woah, Lord
How long
Fallen the leaves are grey
What was so wrong?
How can it be?
Slippin' - Slidin' - Moving back and forth
Gotta leave this town - gonna head up north
She's a stone cold lover andit's easy to see
Hard luck woman make a fool out of me
Woah, Lord
How long
Fallen the leaves are grey
What was so wrong?
How can it be?
Fallen, the love
Fallen, the love we had
BECAUSE I CAN
(Music/Lyrics: Chris Logan) 3:01
Cruisin' down the back roads
Runnin' out of time
Mind's eye on the frequency
I'm driving on the line
Nothing coming easy
Had to toil for the truth
Had to dig on down to the underground
Just to find out what it's worth - yeah
I know I can't fake it
My soul I can't deny
Steppin' up and take it
Because I can!
Nights are getting colder and
Winter's on the way
Silence on the airwaves
The images are grey
Cruisin' down the back roads
Runnin' out of fuel
Had to dig on down to the underground
Just to get it back home to you
I can't stand to fake it
Life is on the line
Step right up and take it
Because I can!
I know I can't fake it
Because I can!
HOW WILL YOU GET BACK
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Chris Logan) 4:54
I've been a fool when I was younger
Reckless and wild
I've felt the rain come down and thunder
Came in to the dry
You may think it's all just a silly game
Living like you do
But watch the river rise around you
It'll come and take you away
No time for startin' over
It's always one more time
You justify your livin'
You say it's not enough
Now tell me one more time
With all the lies you're givin'
How will you get back?
So when you say you've got it all figure out
I've been there too
The world will open up and swallow
Pulling you down, down
No time for startin' over
You've gone and thrown it all away
When you're off the edge
Woah, yeah
One more time
One more time
BLINDED BY TECHNOLOGY
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Chris Logan) 5:08
Way back in the days of New
There used to be a way to get it through
It marked the dawning of an age
But if you look today you won't find it
It's been tightly locked away
All the big boys - They won't let it play
Even though they brought it on themselves
The mighty tyrant spreads its wrath
Upon the human race
"Never Give The Faithful Ones A Chance"
They lived by in disgrace
Nevermind true talent
And the ones with tortured souls
They ain't gonna make the man a buck
Or two a million fold
Blinded by technology
You know who you are
You can hold us down
But you'll never take what I've got
Inside of me
I'm gonna sing it to you now
Inside of me
Next time around
Gonna put you in your place
You're gonna pay the price
For such a big disgrace
Next time around
We ain't gonna go so easy
Big money world - it come down
It come a-crashin' down on you
Come a-crashin' down on you
Come a-crashin' down on you
Come a-crashin down on you
Gonna come a crashin' down
Next time around
Gonna put you in your place
You're gonna pay the price
For such a big disgrace
Next time around
We ain't gonna go so easy
Big money world
Gonna come a crashin' down on you
Come a-crashin' down on you
Come a-crashin' down on you
Come a-crashin down on you
Gonna come a crashin' down
Nevermind the talented
And the ones with tortured souls
They ain't gonna make the man
A buck a million fold
Blinded by technology
You know who you are
You can hold us down
But you'll never take what I've got
Next time around
Gonna put you in your place
You're gonna pay the price
For such a big discgrace
Next time around
We ain't gonna go so easy
Big money world
Gonna come a crashin' down on you
AGE OF ICE
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Chris Logan) 3:55
Promise bought and sold
Consequence of paying the toll
Well this ramble I been on
Always seen me broken and driftin'
Forever coming on
Think I might be losing control - yeah
Innocence is gone
Thought the world was trying to cheat me
Always content to believe
In something that no one could see
Borrowing right from the wrong
Been waiting for an angel to come
Now the age of ice is over
I feel it slipping through my hands
Another day another older
Morning never show
Wasting the black of the night - yeah
Days have been and gone
Silence in the wake of deceiving
Borrowing right from the wrong
Been waitin' for an angel to come
I feel it slippin' through my hands
Another day a little bolder
Aaaah
STANDIN' ON THE ROAD
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Chris Logan) 5:18
Southbound on the "I"
A lady of the West Wind she was calling to me"
I put it all out on the line"
But we didn't know what we were after - no
Hangin on the edge"
Isn't what I had in mind when I was lonely"
Woah, no"
But it crept up from behind"
And before I knew it I was on my way down - yeah
She came to me"
With a light so warm and tender"
Captivated my soul"
Left me standin' on the road"
All alone
When I saw that I was blind"
Well she looked into my eyes"
I knew the reason"
But I wouldn't leave well enough alone"
I had to play the fool and keep on .. "
A-keep on pushin - yeah
She came to me"
With a light so warm and tender"
Captivated my soul"
Left me standin' on the road"
All alone
Oooo.. I really thought she was the one"
Something so strong"
Like I've never, never known"
Carried me so far.. so far gone
She came to me"
With a light so warm and tender"
Captivated my soul"
Left me standin' on the road"
All alone
She left me standin' on the road"
She left me standin' on the road"
standin'"
standin'"
She left me standin'"
standin' on the road"
Yeah"
She left me standin' on that road"
standin' on the road
SEA OF MEMORY
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Chris Logan) 4:57
Silence .. Laughing"
Pushing onward in the fog"
Lost and .. Trembling"
Moving shadows in the dawn
Tide is .. Shifting"
Drifting forth and back again"
Waiting .. Tomorrow ever come"
Will the penance ever end?
What did you expect to find"
Now that you've lost it all
Sea of memory"
Time forsaken"
I can't stay"
Lead me from this place"
Sea of memory"
I hear you calling"
Riding on the waves
Sorrow .. Fills the sails"
Water beading on the lines"
Reaching .. For what was never had"
Just a victim of it all
What did you expect to find"
Now that you've lost it all
Sea of memory"
Time forsaken"
I can't stay"
Lead me from this place"
Sea of memory"
I hear you calling"
Riding on the waves
Solace.. Beckons"
Ashes falling to the ground"
Wanting.. Light that never comes"
In this place of nevermore
What did you expect to find"
Now that you've lost it all
Sea of memory"
Time forsaken"
I can't stay"
Lead me from this place"
Sea of memory"
I hear you calling"
Riding on the waves
Sea of memory"
Time forsaken"
I can't stay"
Lead me from this place"
Sea of memory"
I hear you calling"
Riding on the waves
Sea of memory
Time forsaken
I can't stay
Lead me from this place
Sea of memory
I hear you calling
Riding on the waves
ON YOUR WAY
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Chris Logan) 3:39
Now you finally got your way
And you're comin' home today
But you never thought that you could be so lonely
And when the feelin's comin' down
You can hear the empty sound
Crashin' through your head
The silence so loud
But you know what you're after
You know what you're lookin' for
Now you're finally on your way
And you're comin' home to stay
Everything you knew before so far away
Now you never had a doubt
That it would all work out
But you never thought that it could take you so long
Now the seasons are in change
Everything is rearranged
All that you will sacrifice
Is the price that you will pay
But you know what you're after
And you see the road before you
Now you're finally on your way
And you're comin' home to stay
Everything you knew before so far away
Come out from the mirror
Step into the light
Everything that you've been searching for
Is there within your sight
Run into the future
And forget about the past
A memory will always be
But the moments never last
Now you've found what you were after
Now the road it lies before you
So you're finally on your way
And you're comin' home to stay
The life you left behind you is so far away
REFLECTION OF YOUR HEART
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Chris Logan) 4:51
Why can't you hear the rain approaching?
You won't make it inside
The storm is raging all around you
Look what it's all come down to
Lies
Always telling lies
You've got so far to go
Comin' on just like the fools before you
Why can't you be yourself?
Words that you say
A mere reflection of your heart
And I see through the mirror
Drifting through the seasons
Destiny is clear
Smell the timber burning
And the ringing in your ears
Time is truly wastin'
There's no hope for you
You claim you've had it all but lost it
Living a fantasy
Spend the years awaiting lost horizons
You're lost and that's the whole truth
Words that you say
I see them through the mirror
Words that you say
A mere reflection of your heart
Words that you say
Words that you say
ROLL IT OVER
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Chris Logan) 3:19
Been drinking something
I shouldn't drink
Somehow you got to me
Ya must gave me a wink
Gotta roll it over
To see the other side
My head is rolling over
Seeing double through my left eye
Intoxicated tussle
At my homestead
Woke up in a hussle
To get you out my bed
Come on roll it over
Give my arm a rest
Ya gotta roll it over
I woke up in a spiders nest
Not to cherry
Scary Mary
Unattractive
I've contracted she
You ain't got nothing
I wanna know
Make like the wind for me
And give yourself a blow
Please roll it over
Let me steal away
Gotta roll it over
It's all too much of a price to pay
EYES OF A CHILD
(Music/Lyrics : Michael Schenker) 4:51
Don't do this
Don't do that
It's all we ever hear
Love your neighbour
Love your foe
And don't fight with your peer
All's well if said and done
To use love and not a gun
Don't know if that's what you do
In God we trust
He will save us
Wise words that you use
When it comes down to it
You end up in a pit
And everything's confused
Like a child that's lost his toy
Creating war next door
That's how it all appears to me
We learn from you how it should be
It seems that war is all we have
It's all so sad
What will happen to me?
Give to the poor
Help out the weak
That's what we learn from you
Give it all back
Relinquish the greed
That's what you need to do
You create so many rules
End up locked up just like fools
You say that love will set us free
You've always taught us not to fight
And suddenly that's all you do
It's all so sad
How can we understand?
You are bewildered by the truth
The fear is closing in on you
It's all so sad
Will we lose everything?
How can we understand?
The fear is closing in
Will we lose everything?
We thought that love would set us free
What will happen to me?
