You know I tried to trust you
You know I really tried
But when I turn my back on you
In goes the knife
You think you've got them blinded
Claiming all you find is yours
Greedy two faced nothing
Who do you think you are?
It's gonna be a rude awakening
You're a phony disgrace
They'll soon be on to you
You better find a new space
You cheated and lied this evening
Had you planned on leaving
Be gone
Your money won't buy you happiness
Free to steal
So long
You think you've got them blinded
Claiming all you find is yours
I'd think you would have learned by now
Who do you think you are?
There's gonna be another rude awakening
You're a phony and a disgrace
They'll soon be on to you darlin
You better find a new space
You know I tried to please you
You know I really tried
But whenturn my backyou
In goes the knife
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 5:02
I have faith in love
For a long time it was gone
Maybe it's catching up with me
I may not have you
But I've got this day to share
No longer in the deep cold summer freeze
If I never make it back
Remember that I love you
And that the sun is still shining down on you
I may be home tomorrow
It may be another year
What a mess I've made
Ramblin' and travelling
Ever since I've known
Where the road's been always good to me
That's where I met you
Some things will never change
Sometimes that's the only place I can
Never get some peace
I've been waiting for the sun to shine
And it's finally sneaking through
What's missing is your touch
And your loving ways
What a mess I've made
Look at the mess
There's an aching in my heart since we've parted
And it's crying only out for you
Oh my love meet me down the road
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 3:44
The sky is crying
Who's looking over and out for you?
The war machine's lying on the ground
Are we waiting for power to make its big mistake?
Better learn to rely on love and not the hate
We're running in and out of time
There's a blood red skyline
They're sleeping intheir minds
It's time to awaken
Clear the aristocracy
Brethren this is no Milan vacation
Are we waiting for the messengers of power to throw it all away?
It's not happening tomorrow it's happening now
Today
We're running in and out of time
So I'm writing a letter of hope tonight
To send a message to who will maybe hear
I don't understand what they are fighting for
And when I make it back I will prove to you it was for nothing
Both sides are hoping, praying, feeling all the same
What's going through their minds and dreams?
Please tell me
System's fading slowly out
There's gonna be a rude awakening
Over and out
I'll be waiting for the messengers of power to throw it all away
It's not happening tomorrow, it's happening now
Today
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 5:13
This situation is getting mean
Gothenburg was a heavy scene
I packed a small one to keep it clean
Man I gotta leave this routine
Twenty four hours
It never sleeps
Cats are scratching and there ain't no peace
So I've got to do what I've got to do
To keep together what is left of the truth
I want , I need to wake from this dream
Don't go away, I'm leaving soon
I need you to heal my soul
Hello angel
Come and hold me
And keep me to yourself
There's no one else
Please believe me I want to go
Take me home
This situation is out of hand
A storm has taken this foreign land
I've got to prove what I've got to prove
Or did you notice the broken dam
I want, I need to wake from this dream
Don't go away, I'll be there soon
I need you to heal my soul
Hello angel
Come and hold me
And keep me to yourself
There's nobody else
Please believe me I want to go
This picture of your face has got me in a spell
I must be leaving again
For the stage is set
and the band starts playing soon my love
How many hours did I sleep?
The dogs are howling in the night for peace
I've got to find out
Before the sun
What is chasing and what's begun
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 4:16
Gone through a lot for my freedom
Lost a life along the way
Left home everything I own
As I headed out to join the charade
Got caught up with the wild and the madness
May have gone too far I must confess
I must confess
My money hid away in the gas tank
Gotta keep it steady no joke no mistake
Soon I'll be telling you to hold on
Strapped in my four forty Hemmy burning
Long live Fat City
Got nothing to lose
White blue down the avenue
It's worth everything I know
Lone live Fat City
Out blowing a fuse
Set this town alight
I found my way out the backstreet
Glad to be alive
A hundred more mile I'll be long gone
No more fighting or scrapes to survive
Up ahead says rest for riders
Headlights maybe red lights beware
I look into my rear view mirror
They're closer than they do appear
Another minute I'll be far away
Another second I'll be shifting gears
Paid a lot for my freedom
I never wondered why
Memory's clear and reminds me daily
It was so close but I passed them by
There was a space by the policeman
Gunshots all around over my head
Look into my rear view mirror
Closer than they will appear
Another minute I'll be far away
Another second I'll be shifting gears
Set it alight
Set this town alight
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 5:11
The ocean
She is raging
No land is in sight for miles
Sails in the sunset
From the wind may be torn
They must come down
Our compass directing to the west
Legend promises all
Women and children hardly safe
How many more days?
If we make it to land all will be ours
If they don't understand
We're burning their towers
Claim superior race over nations
Eric's son command
Starting a new world over leagues
By the law of their own hand
Reward is your freedom
And slaves of your questioning words
Women and children nearly saved
How many more days?
If we make it to land all will be ours
If they don't understand
We're burning the towers
Taking over the world
Don't you know you're a part of it all
Over the seas
Fighting tonight in the desert skies
Charting on the shore all we see is land for miles
Fighting in the new world that is ours
No defeat is allowed
Women and children nearly safe
How many more days
If we make it to land all will be ours
Since they don't understand
We're burning the towers
If we make it to land all will be ours
Since we don't understand they're burning the towers
Part of it all
Some of us starting to realize
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 4:25
Slow down
Can't you see you're moving too fast?
I believe you're headed down
Too high
You're gonna crash
So late and it's been such a long time
Through extremes and sinking too low
To satisfy your senses only
Going surely against the flow
Let the pilot of your soul guide you
When you're broken and there's nowhere to turn
There is always one more try
Bear the fight
Hold on
Even though you've only a thread
I believe there's hope for you listen
Better off alive
So read between the lines
Is it clearer?
You climb the walls and hope for the truth
Closing in is just an illusion
Does the mirror claim that it's you?
Let the pilot of your soul guide you
When you're broken and there's nowhere to turn
There is always one more try
Bear the fight
You can bear it
Always one more try
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 5:43
She packed her bags
Headed for the station
It's five a.m. cold enough to slide
I looked around
There's no information
Where you are going
Are you safe tonight
Now the summer's gone
Don't know where you are
The hardest part is the love for you
Oh my love
Half way there
To the destination
Touchdown in Dallas
Staggers from the plane
She looks around
But he's not waiting
What has she done?
Now the summer's gone
Don't know where you are
The hardest part is the love for you
There's a letter written for you
Tell me how I can get through
What am I supposed to do your heart is in mine
And it's slowly beating
What happened to forever and more
All my friends say go away for a while
Down to the ocean where the air is clean
But I'm still waiting for a message from you
I'm still waiting
There's a letter written for you
Tell me how I can get through
What am I supposed to do your heart is in mine
And it's slowly beating
What happened to forever and more
Forever and more
Forever and more cont..
It's six a.m. the phone is ringing
I say hello is there anybody there?
If it's a dream I need to awaken
Where are you love?
I'm far away
The winter is here
You know what I fear
Can I see you?
Will you be on your way
I'm on my way
Here's a letter written for you
Don't know how I ever got through
What was I supposed to do your heart is in mine
And it's slowly beating
There's a letter written from you
Don't know how we ever got through
What are we supposed to do
Our hearts are together mine in yours
Forever and more
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 5:15
Found you in the dark
Reeking of a cheap perfume
Hiding in the park
Why are you so alone?
No one knows her name
Is it just a good disguise?
Just another fallen angel cast aside
She says it's allright being alone
As she hides from herself
Turning off the emotions
A broken angel
Sometimes in white
Riding the waves till the fear and the fight is gone
To another song
What's so wrong?
So she loves the sun
Found you in the car
No more fuel a hazy day
Have you gone too far
Trusting no one
Say it's allright being alone
As she hides from herself
Turning off the emotions
A broken angel sometimes in white
Riding the waves through the morning and moonlight
Says its allright
She is at home finding herself
Turning off the emotions
A lonely angel searching for life
Riding the waves till the fear and the fight is gone
Found you in the dark
Drinking all that you could find
Hiding in the park
Still so alone
Says it's allright leave it alone
She's her home
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 4:40
Storm's closing in
The kind that makes the world upside down
Following the clouds
Is it another old illusion that it's all O.K.?
Won't it go away for good?
At times it makes us pass the time so slowly
Maybe I should say I would one more time
Time to live
Living for today
So much to give
Something's on the way
So here it is again
It's waiting like a long lost friend
Stealing from your hand
Where's your higher faith?
Why can't you hear it?
So would you?
Won't it go away for good?
At times it makes us pass the time so slowly
Maybe I should say I should let it go
Time to live
Living for today
So much to give
Something's on the way
Storm's closing in
The kind that makes the world turn
Upside down
Here it is again like a long lost friend
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 3:57
you've gotta give it all that you've got
No it's never labour if that's what you love
Tonight we're going over the top
And maybe changing the pace
One thing is for certain
It's all rearranged when comes the push
Here's how it feels
Pushing through your life of illusion
You've got to push it to the limit
Change the station
Into the light and through the confusion
When night-time comes we're rolling into your town
If we've been to sleep or not
It's just begun and once we're really moving on
We're never wanting to stop
So let us take you away
Living for the minute
And yes for today in for the push
Push it to the limit
Well one is too little and ten is not enough
You've gotta give it all that you've got
No it's never labour if that's what you love
Tonight we're going over the top
And never changing the pace
One thing's for certain
We're all rearranged when comes the push
Mode is interplay
Recreation recreation
(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Kelly Keeling) 5:18
Kiss it all to the wind
It's never goodbye my friend
I'll see you again
Remember this life is just a game
You keep me holding on
Reaching for morning till the lightning comes
And for the life that's ahead
Though no one know what's forever there
No more darkness
I can't exist in the light
Now I know I'm not the only one
On this uphill climb
Carry on
We've come so far
Did we have to wait so long
We were almost there
You may need someone to talk to
It's never too late to find
We all need someone
To lean on sometime
We have weathered the storm
Remember the silence
It's important to you
Remember the darkness my friend
It's the same as the fool
Remember your will
It's with you till morning
Till the life's reborn
Carry on
We've come so far
We had to wait so long
We are almost there
You may need someone to talk to
It's never too late to find
We all need someone
To lean on sometime
We have weathered the storm
