A brief encounter
Like wind through the trees
It came so suddenly
But then it was gone
Like it had never been
How could I have ever seen
A lost heart
Will take your soul
How could I have known
How could I have known
As she took me in her arms
And brought me to an end
With the kiss of death
The kiss of death
She promised paradise
As she lied upon her bed
Like a fallen angel
With the devil's charm
She promised paradise
With the kiss of death
I tried to stop
As she held out her hand
But the fire was burning inside
She knew what i wanted
She gave it and more
But now I must pay the price
We were strangers
Passing in the night
How could I have known
How could I have known
As she took me in her arms
And brought me to an end
With the kiss of death
The kiss of death
She promised paradise
As she lied upon her bed
Like a fallen angel
With the devil's charm
She promised paradise
With the kiss of death
As she took me in her arms
I felt the devil's charm
Suddenly I see
The final destiny
With the kiss of death
The kiss of death
She promised paradise
As she lied upon her bed
Like a fallen angel
With the devil's charm
She promised paradise
With the kiss of death
With the kiss of death

Prisoner
It wasn't just your innocence
No, It wasn't temptation
It was just your own way
Of placing the blame on me
Stop thinking that it's all the name
You keep trading your love for pain
Someday her answer will come
'Cause there ain't no way to escape
Baby I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
The answer for your loneliness
Is only frustration
So you gave it all away
By placing the blame on me
Remember how it used to be
Your lies won't ----- that
easily
Something's wrong
Why can't you see
There ain't no way to escape
Baby I'm
a prisoner
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a Prisoner
Chained by love
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a Prisoner
Chained by love
---- and misery
'Cause I'm a prisoner
Did my time so let me be
Let me go
Your holding me
Someday her answer will come, you wait
Something's wrong
Why can't you see
That there ain't no way to escape
Escape
Baby I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a Prisoner
Chained by love
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a Prisoner
Chained by love
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
No, It wasn't temptation
It was just your own way
Of placing the blame on me
Stop thinking that it's all the name
You keep trading your love for pain
Someday her answer will come
'Cause there ain't no way to escape
Baby I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
It's so easy to see
I can never be free
I'm a prisoner
Chained by love
The answer for your loneliness
Is only frustration
So you gave it all away
By placing the blame on me

Night By Night
It's bad enough being under control
Same thing every day
Then at night
There's a place we can go
Where nothing can stand in our way
Night by night
I can't keep it away
Night by night
Not living for the day
Night by night
It's now or never
So baby can't you see?
We're living night by night
It's just you and me
Living night by night
We're living night by night
We never see the light of day
So baby can't you see?
We're living night by
night
yeah, we're living it night by night
The night is all that we need
I got a lot
But I wanna have more
Things just haven't been right
I'll show you to my paradise
And let you see the light
It's now or never
Get out of the way
It's now or never
So baby can't you see
We're living night by night
It's just you and me
Living night by night
We're living night by night
We never see the light of day
So baby can't you see
We're living night by night
Yeah, we're living it night by night
The night is all that we need
When the shadows come
Might be no moon at all
You can never tell
When you're under the spell
The night is all that we
need
It's now or never
Get out of the way
It's now or never
So baby can't you see?
We're living night by night
It's just you and me
Living night by night
We're
living night by night
We never see the light of day
So baby can't you see?

Living night by night
We're living night by night

Standing In The Shadows
He was a desperate man
They couldn't understand
He wanted more from life
It was his one device
Yeah, he fell tried and hung
When the lights were low
Yeah it was in his eyes
And it was no surprise
Through the streets at night
He's smiling like no other
As he paid again
Look to find another
Standing in the shadows
Watching the world go by
Standing in the shadows
He was looking
Looking for a place to hide
He felt this way before
And knew he wanted more
He knew the dawn would come
And he'd be on the run
But still they drove him on
Like a loaded gun
His time was running out
And he realized that he'd been here before
Like a scream in the night
For his crime they showed no pity
Even though they'd done the same
It's the way of life in the city
Standing in the shadows
Watching the world go by
Standing in the
shadows
He was looking
Looking for a place to hide
Lock your doors
Standing in the shadows
Watching the world go by
He was standing in the shadows
Looking
Looking for a place
Standing in the shadows
He was standing in the shadows
Watching the world
Standing in the shadows
Standing in the shadows
He was standing in the shadows
Standing in the shadows
Standing in the shadows
They couldn't understand
He wanted more from life
It was his one device
Yeah, he fell tried and hung
When the lights were low
Yeah it was in his eyes
And it was no surprise
Through the streets at night
He's smiling like no other
As he paid again
Look to find another
Standing in the shadows
Watching the world go by
Standing in the shadows
He was looking
Looking for a place to hide

And knew he wanted more
He knew the dawn would come

Looking for a place to hide
Lock your doors
Standing in the shadows
Watching the world go by
He was standing in the shadows
Looking
Looking for a place
Standing in the shadows
He was standing in the shadows
Watching the world
Standing in the shadows
Standing in the shadows
He was standing in the shadows
Standing in the shadows
Standing in the shadows

Heaven Sent
There seems no justice
When you fall in love
It gives you blindness
When you are the one
The one that's hurting
'Cause they got the gun
There seems no justice
When you fall in love
Save me
Don't let me fall
Heaven sent
I heard the call
Stop me
Don't let me go
Touch my heart
Then let me know
Heaven sent
Thought you would set me
Heaven sent
Thought it could never be
Heaven sent
If I had only seen
That you were burning the fire in me
You took passion
Most of my soul
But I will come back baby
Stronger than before
Take my feelings
Leave me in pain
I will forget you
One of these days
Stop me
From feeling this way
Heaven sent
You drive me insane
Hold me
Don't let me go
Touch me now
Then let me know
Heaven sent
Though you would set me free
Heaven sent
Thought it could never be
Heaven sent
If I had only seen
That you were burning the fire in me
Passion burned
I felt the fire
Touch my soul
I felt desire
Now I see
Where we went wrong
Am I to blame
I've fallen in love
Passion burned
I felt the fire
Touch my soul
I felt desire
Now I see
Where we went wrong
Heaven sent
But you're not the one
Heaven sent
Thought you would set me free
Heaven sent
Thought it could never be
Passion burned
I felt the fire
Heaven sent but baby you're not the one
Heaven sent

So Many Tears
I, yeah, I'm leaving today
Sorry is not
enough
Like so many things
We were lost forever
I can't turn the hands of time
Back to the way it was
I can only go on
To find a better road
I can't stop you now
My back's against the wall
There's only so many tears you can cry
There's only so many ways you can say goodbye
There's only so many tears you can cry
There's only so many ways you can say goodbye
So many tears you can cry
You had such a foolish heart
You thought it would last
forever
But you were the one
That brought it to an end
Now I'm standing in the rain
'Cause I wasn't there for you
Such a fool was I
It should have never been
I couldn't stop you now
My back's against the wall
There's only so many tears you can cry
There's only so many ways you can say goodbye
There's only so many tears you can cry
There's only so many ways you can say goodbye
So many tears
So many tears
Only so many tears you can cry
You can't change the world
Place the blame on me
Life goes on without you
There's nothing left for me
I can't change the world
Place the blame on me
Life goes on without you
And now at last I see
There's only so many tears you can cry
There's only so many ways you can say goodbye
Only so many tears you can cry
There's only so many ways you can say goodbye
I can't take anymore
So many tears
Life goes on without you
So many tears
There's nothing left for me
So many tears
And now we're lost forever
So many tears
Sorry is not
enough
Like so many things
We were lost forever
I can't turn the hands of time
Back to the way it was
I can only go on
To find a better road
I can't stop you now

There's only so many tears you can cry

Burning Like A Flame
Never thought our love would last
For so long
Time and time again
I thought that
you would be gone
Still we kept love hanging on
I guess it's meant to be
That your heart still belongs to me
And now we've stood the test of time
We survived
I asked for hope and a chance
You gave the key to your heart
You used to say that I'm not sincere
I'm gonna prove that you're wrong
I'm never gonna leave your arms
Should've realized before
Your love's worth waiting for
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It's out love that's never gonna
change
'Cause every time I touch you
You just make me go insane
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Our love burning like a flame
Like a fantasy in the dark
You were gone
I couldn't say the words
That you wanted to hear
But baby, now that I see the light
I feel it's burning so bright
So let's stop wasting all this time
Should've seen it all before
Our love's worth waiting for
Don't you know that
It's our love that's burning
Burning like a flame
And you know that
It's out love that's never gonna change
'Cause every time I touch you
You just make me

Our love burning like a flame

Lost Behind The Wall
When the sun fades to black and the night has come
There's a will to survive that's ruled by the gun
There's a fear in your eyes and a dream that was lost
There's a hand of fate let you die on the cross
You never really had a chance
Die Mauer muss weg
Tear it down
All of your life grows cold
When you're lost behind the wall
All of the dreams you've ever known
Will be lost behind the wall
Misfortune can hide the freedom to choose
The strong will survive and there's no win or lose
There's reason to fight but no way to cope
It's better to die than to live without hope
You never really had a chance
Die Mauer muss weg
Tear it down
All of your life grows cold
When you're lost behind the wall
All of the dreams you've ever known
Will be lost behind the wall
Lost behind
All of your life grows cold
When you're lost behind the wall
All of the dreams you've ever known
Will be lost behind the wall
All of your life grows cold
When you're lost behind the wall
All of the dreams you've ever known
Will be lost behind the wall
Lost behind the wall
Lost behind the wall
There's a will to survive that's ruled by the gun
There's a fear in your eyes and a dream that was lost
There's a hand of fate let you die on the cross
You never really had a chance
Die Mauer muss weg
Tear it down
All of your life grows cold
When you're lost behind the wall
All of the dreams you've ever known
Will be lost behind the wall
Misfortune can hide the freedom to choose
The strong will survive and there's no win or lose

When you're lost behind the wall
All of the dreams you've ever known
Will be lost behind the wall
All of your life grows cold
When you're lost behind the wall
All of the dreams you've ever known
Will be lost behind the wall

Stop Fighting Love
I'm the one that loves you
I'm the one that cared
Night comes and I think of you alone
We've changed
Love remains
So give me one more chance
I'll wait another
day
Until there's nothing
Stop fighting love
Baby I just want to know the reason why
Stop fighting love
Don't say goodbye
And you'll be back in my arms again
I can make it better
I can make it right
If only you could try and see the light
Someday
Someway
I'm gonna make you see
That I've paid
For my mistakes
Until there's nothing
Stop fighting love
Baby I just want to know the reason why
Stop fighting love
Don't say goodbye
Stop fighting love
When you gonna tell me, show me you're right
Stop fighting love
Don't say goodbye
And you'll be back in my arms again
I let your lust for love excite me
You took my heart instead
And now there's nothing
Stop fighting love
Well I just want to know the reason
why
Stop fighting love
Don't say goodbye
Stop fighting love
Baby there's no reason why
Stop fighting love
Don't say goodbye
And you'll be back in my arms again
Stop fighting--stop fighting love
Stop fighting--stop fighting love
Stop fighting--stop fighting love
I'm the one that cared
Night comes and I think of you alone
We've changed
Love remains
So give me one more chance

Cry Of The Gypsy
You say I'm a restless soul
I don't mind
If living this way is right
I guess I want to be wrong
You can say anything you like
Still it's my life
If I'm on the run
It's my freedom of choice
Sometimes I can't take anymore
I got that feeling
Don't wanna stay
It's got me reeling
You know what they say (hey)
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy in me
Sometimes, yeah, I feel so alone
But I don't mind
As long as you don't close me in
Everything will be just fine
Don't tell me about society
Don't want to hear anymore
I got my own cross to bear
And it's a heavy load
Sometimes I feel it
And I just wanna get out
Must be a reason
That I just wanna shout (hey)
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy in me
The cry of the gypsy
It's the cry
Cry of the gypsy in me
Hey
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Yeah I'm feeling it now
The cry of the gypsy
Yeah it's calling for me
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the cry of the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
The cry..the cry of the
gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy in me
I don't mind
If living this way is right
I guess I want to be wrong
You can say anything you like
Still it's my life
If I'm on the run
It's my freedom of choice
Sometimes I can't take anymore
I got that feeling
Don't wanna stay
It's got me reeling
You know what they say (hey)
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy in me
Sometimes, yeah, I feel so alone
But I don't mind
As long as you don't close me in
Everything will be just fine
Don't tell me about society
Don't want to hear anymore
I got my own cross to bear
And it's a heavy load
Sometimes I feel it
And I just wanna get out
Must be a reason
That I just wanna shout (hey)
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy in me
The cry of the gypsy
It's the cry
Cry of the gypsy in me
Hey
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Yeah I'm feeling it now
The cry of the gypsy
Yeah it's calling for me
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the cry of the gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
The cry..the cry of the
gypsy
The cry of the gypsy
Must be the gypsy in me

Sleepless Night
Oh yeah
I stay up all night until the morning
Stay in bed until day becomes light
I've been so refused
Even more confused
I wish I could make it right
Looks like a sleepless night coming my way
Yeah, I knew that I'd be feeling this way
On a sleepless night
Got a restless mind
On a sleepless night
I've been waiting for you
On a sleepless night
Gonna tell you one more time
You're all I need on a sleepless night
You got tired of the way you were feeling
Threw away your ball and chain
Your shot in the dark
Put a hole in my heart
Still I'm the one that's taking the blame
Looks like a sleepless night coming my way
Yeah, I knew that I'd be feeling this way
On a sleepless night
I got a restless mind
On a sleepless night
I've been waiting for you
On a sleepless night
Gonna tell you one more time
You're all I need on a sleepless night
On a sleepless night
Listen to the music
On a sleepless night
Try to leave your troubles all behind
On a sleepless night
Wide awake
Lying on the bed
Can't find no peace at mind
Because it's so hard to unwind
Looks like a sleepless nights coming my way
Yeah, I knew that I'd be feeling this way
On a sleepless night
Got a restless mind
On a sleepless night
I've been praying for you
On a sleepless night
Gonna tell you one more time
You're all I need on a sleepless night
On a sleepless night
On a sleepless night
I stay up all night until the morning
Stay in bed until day becomes light
I've been so refused
Even more confused
I wish I could make it right
Looks like a sleepless night coming my way
Yeah, I knew that I'd be feeling this way
On a sleepless night
Got a restless mind
On a sleepless night
I've been waiting for you
On a sleepless night
Gonna tell you one more time
You're all I need on a sleepless night
You got tired of the way you were feeling
Threw away your ball and chain
Your shot in the dark
Put a hole in my heart
Still I'm the one that's taking the blame
Looks like a sleepless night coming my way
Yeah, I knew that I'd be feeling this way
On a sleepless night
I got a restless mind
On a sleepless night
I've been waiting for you
On a sleepless night
Gonna tell you one more time
You're all I need on a sleepless night
On a sleepless night
Listen to the music
On a sleepless night
Try to leave your troubles all behind
On a sleepless night
Wide awake
Lying on the bed
Can't find no peace at mind
Because it's so hard to unwind
Looks like a sleepless nights coming my way
Yeah, I knew that I'd be feeling this way
On a sleepless night

Dream Warriors
I lie awake and dread the lonely nights
I'm not alone
I wonder if these heavy eyes
Can face the unknown
When I close my eyes I realize
You'll come my way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together
With the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
I feel the touch comin' over me
I can't explain
I hear the voices callin' out
Callin' my name
It's the same desire to feel the fire
That's comin' your way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together
With the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
With the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Sweet revenge, the bitter end
This time
Break the spell of illusion
Bound together waiting for you
Dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
With the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
With the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors, forever
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors
I'm not alone
I wonder if these heavy eyes
Can face the unknown
When I close my eyes I realize
You'll come my way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together
With the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
I feel the touch comin' over me
I can't explain
I hear the voices callin' out
Callin' my name
It's the same desire to feel the fire
That's comin' your way
I'm standing in the night alone
Forever together
With the dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
With the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Sweet revenge, the bitter end
This time
Break the spell of illusion
Bound together waiting for you
Dream warriors
Don't wanna dream no more
With the dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
With the dream warriors
Ain't gonna dream no more
With the dream warriors
And maybe tonight
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors, forever
Dream warriors
Maybe tonight you'll be gone
Dream warriors
