Join The Outsiders
03:05
|

Come along!
Come along!
Join the Outsiders
You’re as welcome as can be in our misfit fraternity
When it rains it pours
So just enjoy getting wet
You can’t hide indoors
Or you’ll never be where you want to get
And if you wait for the perfect time
don’t you know it’ll never arrive?
So carpe diem come along
Give a smile and sing this song
Come along
Come along
And join the Outsiders
We are the outsiders!
You’re as welcome as can be in the
misfit fraternity
I have struggled and prayed
Been faithful and strayed
Thought the sun was never coming back
Sometimes it was money
Sometimes it was girls
Thought I was alone in the world
But music and friends got me through
And to all the ones who kept me true
I want to say thank you
We took the road less traveled
We lived a life most will never know
Sang along with the songs
That lit the path for where we were to go
Come along come along! Join the outsiders!

My Funeral Pyre
03:14
|
|
||
In the middle of my dreams
She’s the spark who burns me up
But the pain is worth the price
It’s the fire I desired
The fatal answer we require
My funeral pyre
There are different kinds of dreams
There’s the kind that make you scream
In my dreams we roam the world
Wish we could break away from dreams of yesterday
One of these days
I’m gonna get that girl
One of these days
I’m gonna rule the world
One of these days
And in my dreams I hold her hand
And in my dreams she says you’re my man
And we might make it in this foolish rhyme
One of these days
Is this a funeral pyre or a brand new fire?

Red Alert
02:36
|
|

Red Alert!
Red Alert!
Fight back or die
You can say what you want to say
But I say I gotta live free
You try to shout down anyone that disagrees
but your intolerance is not for me
Red Alert!
Zeroes are screaming
In the nightmare that I’m dreaming
Red Alert!
Zeroes are screaming
It’s the nightmare that I’m seeing
You just want conformity
But that’s never what you’ll get from me
I go against the grain
A minority of one
Out of step again!
Independent and free!
SOS
Calling all free minds
SOS
You’re the last of your kind
SOS
I fight intolerance and hate
SOS
And I dare to deviate
I gotta break free from all of this conformity
I gotta be true
Look in the mirror
Who’s staring at you?

Tear It Down
03:06
|
|||
Fight or die!
All around me the walls are closing in
I’ll stay and play the dead man’s hand again
I won’t back down
I’ll stay and fight for what is right
My words are weapons
My heart can roar
Louder than a lion
I took too much from too many
Now it’s time to fight so just get ready
This is why we fight!
This is wrong or right!
A fist can hurt and looks can kill
Just take my word
You fight or die
The pressure builds
The more you hurt
This is why we fight!
This is wrong or right!
We never get to choose our end
We say we’ll do it all tomorrow
And then we keep on living in rage in pain or in sorrow
This is why we fight!
This is wrong or right!
Fight or die!
Don’t back down
Too late to cry
Just tear it down
My words are weapons
My heart can roar
Louder than a lion
I took too much from too many
Now it’s time to fight so just get ready

Journey
03:34
|
|||
There is no life instruction guide
So I keep stumbling
Breaking on the inside
And as we wander in the dark
Where is that star that lights
the way?
Why can’t we stay above the
fray?
On a course unknown
I am a force of one, alone
Need to push past all the pain
Need to remember: No pain, no gain
Turn away
Time to burn up the night
Turn away, turn away
Time to turn toward the light
Turn away, turn away
From the darkness inside
Turn away
Get on your horse and ride
Life is a journey
Filled with stops and starts and bumpy roads
When all we want is an open highway.
Pressure comes at us in so many ways
Hard to remember there are better days
Turn away
Time to burn up the night
Turn away, turn away
Time to turn toward the light
Turn away, turn away
From the darkness inside
Turn away
Just rev it up and drive
And I know that’s easier said than done
Maybe all it is two people becoming one

The Calling
02:40
|
|||
here we go
we’re flying
here we go
accelerate!
This is a calling for new horizons
At least one time in life
You gotta roll the dice
Too many people follow dollar bills
Time to follow your heart
Make a brand new start
here we go
keep flying
here we go
accelerate!
You’ve seen your share of ups and downs
Been so deep you thought you were gonna drown
But every time
Things turned around
So just fly free
to your favourite sounds
one reason one minute
your calling gotta find it
one time one flash
burn bright
find your reason
one reason one minute
your calling gotta find it
one time
one flash
burn bright
find your reason
Here we go
Keep flying
Here we go
Accelerate!
It’s the good times we live for
It’s the good cause makes it worth the fight
The world’s beneath me
I see cities and fields
Gliding on the wind
These are the times that feel most real
one reason
one minute
it’s your calling gotta find
it one time
one flash
burn bright
find your reason
one reason
one minute
it’s your calling gotta find it
one time one flash
burn bright
find your reason
You gotta Roll the dice!
here we go
keep flying
here we go
accelerate!

Bandoleros
02:56
|

Still burning
The bandoleros
We are the creatures of the night
Walls are closing in
Road is getting narrow
The only thing I know how to do
Is keep speeding ahead
The tunnel is shrinking
Can I make it in time?
My back to the wall
All I know how to do Is fight
The outlaw in me
keeps just out of sight
I need a better dream
To keep him from the light
I’ve always been a rolling stone
In the crowd but all alone
the night is all I own
Still running
The bandoleros
We are the creatures of the night
Still running out of time
every last stand comes with a fight
The law is closing in
is this the final ride?
The only thing I know how to do is not hide
I’ll steal your nightmares
And give you dreams
What you see in me
Is not always what it seems

Sick
02:59
|
|||
This spiral leads me to guilt
These days I feel so sick
I dont distinguish pleasure from pain
Today could be the day
Today should be the day
But I’sitting on the edge
About to disappear
I’m still sitting on the edge
thinking...
We used to be a unity
but we throw it all away
we’ll never take off from this damn place
If we don ́t have the courage to risk everything
The courage to risk everything
I’m still sitting on the edge
hidding away from fears
I can ́t rewrite my life on this damp paper
but i can ́t wait forever
Don ́t wanna spend my time
running in circles.
The time is now.
I know it ́s time to turn the page but now I feel so sick
I can ́t rewrite my life on this damp paper
but i can ́t wait forever.
Don ́t wanna spend my time
running in circles.
The time is now.

Stand Or Kneel
03:28
|
|||
Sun is setting
I want to stare straight in the rays
Flood is coming
I want to walk to the tidal wave
Bomb is ticking
I see my face in the reflection
World is ending
I give it just one more rejection
My eyes are filled with rage
My spirit turns the page
The walls close in
The hangman’s getting nearer
Come on in
Everything is clearer
We chose to stand or kneel
In the time we steal
And all the time
We burn like fire
And so we climb
to our hearts’ desire
The seconds melt away
Nothing is guaranteed except today
This is my reflection
Not a genuflection

Eye Of Fire
01:24
|
|||
Too many people suck
And some have all the luck
Why can’t they just let me be?
Why can’t I win the lottery?
Sometimes I want to bash my head against the wall
Eye of fire
Lidless and malevolent
You call it benevolence
Every single ad I see
Tells me who I ought to be
Without a worry to my name
With perfect smiles and all the same
Sometimes I want to bash my head against the wall
Well-intentioned slavery
Is not what they will get from me
Don’t tell me what’s incorrect
I’m not in your hateful sect
Sometimes I want to bash my head against the wall
Eye of fire
Lidless and malevolent
The worst dictators in history
Promised us equality
I’m a rock and roller And I breathe free
Eye of fire
Lidless and malevolent

Better Make It Count
02:58
|
|||
And so it begins again
Going on since I don’t know when
We struggle and strive
But it’s victory that keeps us alive
All the times I ended up on my face
All of the fears that kept me in my place
Why do we strive?
Cause otherwise we aren’t alive
Why do we win?
Cause to give up should be a sin
Why do we die?
Cause we don’t know what’s on the other side
Better make it count
Better leave your mark
Better be a light in the dark
So it goes on and on
We are all just a verse in a never ending song
So what do you want to bring?
A dreary winter or a vibrant spring?
And so it goes along
We are all just a verse in a never ending song
So how do you want to roll?
Are you a supernova or a black hole?
Wanna be a supernova
Decide
Time to decide
