Yngwie Malmsteen - Odyssey Album Lyrics

Rising Force

Out of the darkness the voices are calling
Riding the wings of a song
The Fury is screaming and Heaven is falling
I feel it coming on strong.
[Chorus:]
The lightning strikes cracking the night
It feels like never before
Thunder and sparks in the Heart of the Dark
I hear a Rising Force.
Searching my soul I find something else
I take my life in my hands
From the gates of Heaven to the altars of Hell
The Power is at my command.
[Chorus:]
The lightning strikes cracking the night
I'm not the same anymore
Thunder and spark in the Heart of the Dark
I feel a Rising Force.
Burned by the glory of a sacred fire
A Rising Force starts to shine
Alone in the inferno it soars ever higher
Leaving the demons behind.
[Repeat first and second Chorus]

Hold On

Look at me, see the love that you're missing
Can't you see that I'll always be there
You can't run you can't hide from the feeling tonight
Damage done. I guess love isn't fair.
Sometimes I wonder who you are
So close, but we've gone too far.
[Chorus:]
How long can I hold on till you say good-bye baby
You're gone and it's so wrong and now my heart cries for you girl.
Lonely days, fill my nights with such sorrow
Shades of grey, turn into blue tomorrows.
Sometimes I wonder where you are
So close, but your eyes are so far.
[Repeat first Chorus]
How long can I hold on till you say good-bye baby
You're gone and I can't go on and now my heart cries for you girl.

Heaven Tonight

Lost in a dream in the arms of the night
Two lonely prisoners of our own device
Don't let me go. Hold on together
You wanna know if love can be real
I wanna take everything I can steal
Love on the line, it's now or never.
Why can't the night last forever.
[Chorus:]
This could be Paradise
Holding you here by my side
If we just close our eyes
We'll be in Heaven tonight.
Run through the night down streets of desire
Burning my soul, my heart's on fire
Give up the fight, it's sweet surrender
With trembling hands we reach for it all
Two desperate hearts waiting to fall
I need you now, now more than ever.
Why can't the night last forever.
[Repeat first Chorus]
This feels like Paradise
I see the world in our eyes
If we just hold on tight
We'll be in Heaven tonight.

Dreaming (Tell Me)

Shades of night, fall upon my eyes
Lonely world fades away
Misty light, shadows start to rise
Lonely world fades away.
In my dreams your face is all I see
Through the night you share your love with me.
[Chorus:]
Dreaming visions of you
Feeling all the love I never knew.
Here we are on the crossroads of forever
Shining star lights the way.
Walk with me on the winds of time
Love's mystery is for us to find.
[Repeat Chorus]
Until that day, until the day I find you
I won't rest, I won't let go
Somehow some way, I know I'll be beside you
To warm my heart and fill my soul.

Riot In The Dungeons

Locked up in chains, backs to the wall
Tick like a time bomb till we hear the call
Pushed from outside, thrown underground
Frozen in time we wait for the sound.
[Chorus:]
Oh, I feel something coming
Looks like a riot in the dungeon.
Trapped behind bars, prisoners of death
All hope is ours, we can't give up yet
Ready to fight to get what we need
Die on your feet or live on your knees.
[Chorus:]
Oh, I feel something coming
Looks like a riot in the dungeon
You stand and die or start your running
'Cause there's a riot in the dungeon.
It's got to give, it's gonna break
Dying to live, our freedom's at stake
Beating the odds with our hearts and blood
We won't give in till they've had enough.
[Repeat 2nd Chorus]

Deja Vu

I always knew, somewhere in time
We'd meet again, we'd cross that line
Don't need to question, no reason why
The answer lies before your eyes.
Do you know who I am
Do you understand?
[Chorus:]
Deja vu, dreams come true
I see my soul inside of you
Deja vu, so many lives
Familiar spirits behind your eyes.
We cross between worlds through windows of light
With open arms we hold back the night
The crystal of power we hold in our hands
We go on forever and love is the plan.
Do you know who I am
Do you understand?
[Repeat Chorus]

Crystal Ball

We hold the secret to a dream
We keep it wrapped in chains
Locked inside a mystery.
We climb a stairway to the stars
Through doorways of the heart
Step inside, the magic starts.
[Chorus:]
Gaze into my crystal ball,
See what lies behind the wall
Can't you feel the wonder of it all.
You veil your eyes in fantasy
Time to pull the curtain back
Distant worlds, so much to see.
[Repeat Chorus]
I wanna know you, come on let me show you the way
I really wanna hold you, reach out to these hands of fate
This is the moment we've been waiting for.

Now Is The Time

Hold on tight in the heat of the night
Baby there can be no escape
Feelings right, getting hard to fight
Baby how much more can I take.
Tell me that it's real, everything you feel
What am I supposed to do
Look into my eyes, touch me deep inside
Let me feel your love cut through.
[Chorus:]
Oh, now is the time
Feeling your heart so close to mine
Oh, I want your touch, need you so much
Now is the time for our love.
Drowning in the flames, in the sea of desire
Angel with the devil's eyes
Turn up the heat and we fall in the fire
Can't you feel the temperature rise.
Tell me that it's true, you can feel it too
Let me be your fantasy
Baby hold me tight, say that it's alright
You know you can count on me.
[Repeat Chorus]
When the fire starts-- I can feel you burning tonight
With an open heart-- baby won't you let me inside,
Let me inside girl.

Faster Than The Speed Of Light

Step inside the dream machine
You're on a power drive
Feel the passion of the beast
Watch her come alive.
Oh-- you're almost there, ride on silver air
You better hold on tight-- she's fire in the night.
[Chorus:]
Faster than the speed of light
Hugging all the curves
Hang on to your life
Faster than the speed of light
Supercharged and flying low
She's liquid dynamite.
Got your hands upon the wheel
The pedal to the floor
Now it's time for nerves of steel
Hear the engine roar.
Oh-- you shoot the thrill-- heading for the kill
No control tonight-- she's liquid dynamite.

Rev it to the Red line
You're tearing up the street
12 cylinders and she's all mine
She's too tough to beat

Oh - you shoot to thrill - Heading for the kill
No control tonight - she's liquid dynamite

[Repeat Chorus Twice]
