Vanishing Point

There’s a cancer in America
What are the people shooting for
So much anger and insanity
Trapped behind closed doors
Broken hearts and shattered dreams
Underneath the skin
Rock and roll can save you
Let it draw you in
From the vanishing point
From the vanishing point
On the streets it happens every day
Another body falls
From the poison that’s inside their veins
Why can’t we hear their calls?
They’re people just like you and me
Brothers, sister too
Music has the power to reach
Back and rescue you
War is raging in our minds
Two wolves
One is evil, one devine
Who we feed, not fate
Soon our future will decide
Stand tall
Take command while we are still alive
From the vanishing point
From the vanishing point
There’s a cancer in America
What are we waiting for?
It’s eating us from inside out
I can’t take it anymore
Grab your favorite record
Put the needle on
Let the music get inside your skin
You can be reborn
From the vanishing point
From the vanishing point

My finger’s hot on the trigger
My temper’s ready to blow
I can’t contain all the rage, the pain, the noise
Just makes my head explode
There’s only one way to cure this
I got the need for speed
Grab my Harley and twist and wind and ride
The road is free to me
Wind in my face I’m flying
Living in this moment now
Pure instinct no denying
Gonna break these chains somehow
Rev it loud
Push it higher
Hear the sound
Of a Hard Driving Metal Machine
I got this fury inside me
Like thunder out of control
My body’s running on high octane
Tortured slave of rock and roll
Wind in my face I’m flying
Living in this moment now
Pure instinct no denying
Gonna break these chains somehow
Rev it loud
Push it higher
Hear the sound
Of a Hard Driving Metal Machine
You will never succeed
If you don’t choose to believe
In the power of your soul
Forget about the past
The future’s in your grasp
All you haters can kiss my ass!
Rev it loud
Push it higher
Hear the sound
Of a Hard Driving Metal Machine
Riding proud
Soaring higher
Shout it out
I’m a Hard Driving Metal Machine
A Hard Driving Metal Machine

Knightmare

Jet black in the moonlight
She rides through the night
The sound of thunder echoes towards the sky
She’s wild and she’s free
There’s no ties that bind her
The power of her will drives her on and on
She’ll never be
Looking back at what’s behind her
Running with the wind and she’s gone
Chasing a dream
Through the dark, black night reminds her
Of her endless journey towards the dawn
Knightmare
Ride on
To the sun
Into the morning
Knightmare
Ride on
To the sun
There’s fury in her heart
And fire in her eyes
She heeds no dreams or desires
She searches for the end
As she’s done right from the start
Flames of passion burning higher and higher
She’ll never be
Looking back at what’s behind her
Running with the wind and she’s gone
Chasing a dream
Through the dark, black night reminds her
Of her endless journey towards the dawn
Knightmare
Ride on
To the sun
Into the morning
Knightmare
Ride on
To the sun
No more tomorrows, away
So change all your dreams to demands
No more tomorrows, away
Hold on tomorrow won’t wait
Knightmare
Ride on
To the sun
Into the morning
Knightmare
Ride on

Lookin’ at the world
There’s nothing to believe in
The people have all gone crazy
Trying to understand
What kind of future is at hand
And am I gonna make it through
Well I just can’t leave that up to you
Cuz I’m scared of dying and leaving this world
Without saying what I came to say
But no one wants to listen
They want no part of me
It’s so plain to see that I’m a
Stranger in a strange land
No one cares cuz no one sees
The stranger in a strange land
Dying to be free
No the stranger in a strange land
Simply has to be
A stranger in a strange land
In danger of dying a stranger
A stranger
Tearing off the chains that hold me back from being sane
It’s time I put a stop to this crazy game
Lookin’ at myself
There are some things I gotta do
I got my dreams to think about
I can’t let situations
Hold down my life ambitions, no
I got to conquer you
I got to rock my message through
Cuz I’m no one, to no one
But that won’t last for long
You have not begun to hear from me
Hanging tough, standing tall
I’m gonna break the ice
I’m stepping out tonight as a
Stranger in a strange land
I got my dreams that’s all I need
Stranger in a strange land
Hey everybody look at me
Stranger in a strange land
I’m living out my fantasy
Stranger in a strange land
No more stranger for me

You’re burning inside
Inside of your mind
You’ve been sweating your butt to the ground on your 9 to 5
You wanna go wild
Let loose of your mind
No holds barred tonight girl I feel alive
Cuz we know that there’s some of you out there
Gonna try and break us down
We don’t that shit around here
We don’t want you hanging around
Get up or get out!
Get up and get down
If you gotta doubt what we’re all about
Get up or get out
Step into the crowd
Just stand up and shout (Hey)
Don’t let anyone tell you that you’re too loud
Let yourself out
We’re so close you can’t hide
Just jump on our back and we’ll take you along for the ride
Cuz we know that there’s some of you out there
Gonna try and break us down
We don’t that shit around here
We don’t want you hanging around
Get up or get out!
Get up and get down
If you gotta doubt what we’re all about
Get up or get out
Cuz we know that there’s some of you out there
Gonna try and break us down
We don’t that shit around here
We don’t want you hanging around
Get up or get out!
Get up and get down
If you gotta doubt what we’re all about
Get up or get out
Get up or get out!
Get up and get down
If you gotta doubt what we’re all about
Get up or get out
Get up or get out

Power Of Passion

You see me, feel me in the darkness
Your body’s so close to mine
There’s some kind of magic a fever that’s burning inside
You feel it, it shakes you
It’s racing through your veins
Surrender my love, the passion controls you again
You want me, you need me, you feel me with your eyes
You wanna touch me, and love me, no you cannot disguise
The power
The power of passion in the night
The power of passion in your eyes
The power of passion in the night
The power of passion in your eyes
Breathless, burning, you’re thirsting from the fire
Passion explodes as we dance on the waves of desire
Take me, oh baby, take me to the top
The night is oh so young and I’m burning up
You want me, you need me, you feel me with your eyes
You wanna touch me, and love me, no you cannot disguise
The power
The power of passion in the night
The power of passion in your eyes
The power of passion in the night
The power of passion in your eyes
So baby
Don’t say it, don’t say no to love
Don’t say it baby
Don’t say it, don’t say no to love
You’ll hurt me deep inside
Don’t say it, don’t say no to love
Please don’t run and hide
Don’t say it, don’t say no to love
The power
The power of passion in the night
The power of passion in your eyes
The power of passion in the night
The power of passion in your eyes
In your eyes, in your eyes, in your eyes
Don’t say no

Rockin' Down The Night
03:58

Saturday night and the band’s all here
Three old guitars and a case of beer
Smoke rising off the reel to reel
We strike the chord and hear the crowd
As we step to the mic we cry out loud
Rockin’ down, rockin’ down the night
Rockin’ down, rockin’ down the night
Kicking ass, we’re a rock machine
It’s easy when you keep your nose clean
Music breathes our soul new life
This wall of sound is our release
Here in this land of make believe
Rockin’ down, rockin’ down the night
Rockin’ down, rockin’ down the night
We feel the bass within our hearts
The lead guitar tears us apart
We feel the beat and start to lose control
The time is now to make a stand
And spread to every land
Can you hear me on the radio
Let’s go!
Step inside our fantasy
We need voices in this harmony
Raise your hands up to the sky
We’re reaching out and won’t let go
Cuz it’s the only thing we know
Hear the music start to rise
Can’t you hear us begging you to keep this rock and roll alive
Rockin’ down, rockin’ down the night
Rockin’ down, rockin’ down the night
Rockin’ down, rockin’ down the night
Rockin’ down, rockin’ down the night

Not About You
04:40

We’ve been here before
Brother fighting brother
Blood on the floor
Fearing for our daughters
What is it for?
Aren't we better than this?
Deafness
So entrenched in our views
We hear no voice
But the one that speaks inside our own head
Anxious with dread
Confusion
United we stand, divided we fall
All for one or one for all?
It’s not about you
It’s not about me
What’s at stake is our freedom and liberty
It’s not about me
It’s not about you
Tell me what you’re trying to prove
No silence
Screaming voices shatter all of our peace
Polar forces on the battlefield
Raising our shields
Listen
Divided we fall, united we stand
Playing to our enemies hand
It’s not about you
It’s not about me
What’s at stake is our freedom and liberty
It’s not about me
It’s not about you
Tell me what you’re trying to prove
Our father’s left their families
Spilled their blood on the streets and the fields
Our union came at the ultimate price
Are we just gonna throw that away?
It’s not about you
It’s not about me
What’s at stake is our freedom and liberty
It’s not about me
It’s not about you
Tell me what you’re gonna do
It’s not about you!

Hard Livin'
03:54

Running around
I got nowhere to go
I got the feeling I’m a one man show
Alone in the night
Facing the fight
Lord only knows how long before I blow, yeh
I’m gonna blow
When the pressure’s been on you’ve always come through
When the world turned it on you always knew, you knew what to do
Hard Livin’
Running too fast to compete with the ways of
Hard livin’
You gotta stop letting go of yourself
Hard Livin’
You gotta take control of yourself
Hard Livin’
You’re young now, but your time is slipping away
Out on the road, out on my own
The shit’s coming down
I can’t handle the load
It’s hard facing the facts that you’re light years away
And that time’s running out on your dreams
Each and every day
When the pressure’s been on you’ve always come through
When the world turned it on you always knew, you knew what to do
Hard Livin’
Running too fast to compete with the ways of
Hard livin’
You gotta stop letting go of yourself
Hard Livin’
You gotta take control of yourself
Hard Livin’
You’re young now, but it’s slipping away
It’s slipping away

Straight on moving faster and faster
I’m blazing down the trail
Watch out, I’m really moving
Shaking demons off my tail
Dead set leave it all behind me
What they’re selling I don’t need
Set course for lands of adventure
The time is now to live my dreams
Open Road
Open Road
Sitting here on my motorcycle
I got my holster and my gun
I got my leather jacket unbuttoned
I’m heading straight off into the sun
I got no chains or ties to hold me back
I’m a free man on the break
And I’ll be travelling down your highway
I’m the one make no mistake
Open Road
Open Road

Take The Lead
04:31
|

|
Do any of you know what it’s like to be on stage?
Can you even begin to feel the rage?
Well it seems like I’ve been here for a million years
And it seems like I cried a million tears
Oh it was all in my mind
Something I had to find
Oh it’s what I had to be
So oh
Take the lead
They said I was crazy, yeh some said I was insane
Well if I am then I’ve only myself to blame
This rock and roll life can sometimes be so alone
When you ain’t got no friends, and you ain’t got no home
Oh it was all in my mind
Something I had to find
Oh and for it I’d bleed
So oh
Take the lead
I know it’s crazy
I know it’s crazy
But just maybe
I will see the light
