E5           A5        G5        D5        E5   E5      A5        G5      D5     E5
He who makes a beast out of himself, gets rid of the pain of being a man
E5 A5 G5 D5
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
E5       G5  A5    B5     A5      G5    D5      A5       B5
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.
E5        G5        E5                        G5
I trie-ie-ied to drive all through the night,
E5                                      G5   E5                   G5
the heat stroke ridden weather, the barren empty sights.
E5  F#5-G5-E5  F35 G5  B5         
No oasis here to see,          
        B5 F5  A5-B5   G5-A5    G5   F#5  E5
the sand is singing deathless words to me.

Chorus:
E5                                      A5       G5         D5
Can't you help me as I'm startin' to burn (all alone).
D5                                     G5       F#5            E5
Too many doses and I'm starting to get an attraction.
E5                                      A5      G5        D5
My confidence is leaving me on my own (all alone).
D5                                 G5          F#5                           E5
No one can save me and you know I don't want the attention.

E5        G5 E5                         G5    E5               G5 
As Ie-ie-ie adjust to my new sights the rarely tired lights
E5                             G5
will take me to new heights.
E5                           G5   E5               G5
My hand is on the trigger I'm ready to ignite.
E5                                 G5  E5
Tomorrow might not make it but everything's all right.
E5     F#5-G5-E5 F#5-G5-B5  B5   F5 A5-B5  G5-A5     G5  F#5  E5
Mental fiction follows me;    show me what it's like to be set free.

G   A  D         F#                              G  
So sorry you're not here I've been sane too long
 F#                       G
my vision's so unclear.
G      A     D            F#                 G     
Now take a trip with me but don't be surprised
   F#                                            G
when things aren't what they seem.

E5        G5 A5      B5    A5      G5   D5       A5       B5
Caught here in a fiery blaze, won't lose my will to stay.

E5                                 G5 E5                         G5
Sometimes I don't know why we'd rather live than die,
E5                                G5  E5
we look up towards the sky for answers to our lives.
E5                                G5  E5                         G5
We may get some solutions but most just pass us by,
E5                              G5   E5
don't want your absolution cause I can't make it right.
A5                      G5         E5
I'll make a beast out of myself,

G   A  D         F#                              G
Scared but you can follow me I'm too weird to live
F#                       G
but much too rare to die.

Heroes Of Our Time

Lost in a dream
Finally it seems
Emptiness and everlasting maddness
See the sadness grow
Watching as we know
Long before our the journey for the world

Call for us
The power in all of us
So far beyond the blackened sky tonight

Glorius
Forevermore in us
We are victoriuos
And so alive

We'll all find our sacrafice tomorrow
Our journey on towards a brighter day
Silent tears we left behind still so far away
Across the endless sands through the fields of our despair
Free for all eternity we stand, yeah
Rise above the universe tonight
Starchaser

Fly towards the storm
See the world reborn
Feel the pain inside the voice of sorrow
Cross the distant shores
Find the open door
Stand alone in judgement for tomorrow

Years of pain still haunt us all
We saw the last sunrise
Take me home in freedom for a lifetime
Pray now for the silence and the last tears we'll cry
So glorious the fire inside

United we stand and we'll all find our sacrafice tomorrow
Our journey on towards a brighter day
Silent tears we left behind still so far away
Across the endless sands through the fields of our despair
Free for all eternity we stand, yeah
Rise above the universe tonight

Free from this world
Here for the last time
Oceans collide inside of us all
Believe who we are
The phoenix will guide us
Freedom will rise once again

Save us tonight, the last hope for all of us
Lightyears gone by, we're still holding on
Save us tonight
A star shines in all of us
Far beyond our lives
Still the glory lives on

And we'll all find our sacrifice tomorrow
Our journey on towards a brighter day
Silent tears we left behind still so far away
Across the endless sands to the fields of our despair
Here for all eternity we stand, yeah
Rise above the universe tonight
Starchaser
Starchaser

Our kingdom come, we stand as one
And we will live for always
Evermore

"I'll try," she said as he walked away.

"Try not to lose you."

Two vibrant hearts could change.

Nothing tears the being more than deception,

unmasked fear.

"I'll be here waiting" tested and secure.

Nothing hurts my world,

you'll be the one to fall.

the one who won't care at all

But being the one on the stand,

I know the way to go, no one's guiding me.

When time soaked with blood turns its back,
Am F G Am
I know it's hard to fall.

Confided in me was your heart

I know it's hurting you, but it's killing me."

tasting salvation's near.

SEIZE THE DAY

Dm F G
Seize the day or die regretting the time you lost

It's empty and cold without you here,

too many people to ache over

C Dm
changing this fable we live in

Will you take a journey tonight,

follow me past the walls of death?

NIGHTMARE

intro Dm Bb C

         Dm
Nightmare!! Now your nightmare comes to life

Dm,F,G
Dragged you down below down to the devil’s show,
Dm,F,G
To be his guest forever,
Dm,F,G
Peace of mind is less than never
Dm,F,G
Hate to twist your mind,
Dm,F,G
but God ain’t on your side
Dm,F,G
An old acquaintance severed,
Dm,F,G
Render of your last endeavor

Dm
Ashes burning, you can smell it in the air,
Cause men like you have such an easy soul to steal.
So stand in line while banging numbers in your head,
You’re now a slave until the end of time
And nothing stops the madness turning,
haunting, yearning, pull the trigger!

Chorus
Dm               C
You should have known
F             Bb
The price of evil,
Dm               C               F          Bb
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
                            Dm
Ooooh, it’s your fuckin’ nightmare

While your nightmare comes to life

Dm,F,G
Can’t wake up in sweat, cause it ain’t over yet,
Dm,F,G
Still dancing with your demons,
Dm,F,G
Victim of your own creation beyond the will to fight,
Dm,F,G
Where all that’s wrong is right
Dm,F,G
where hate don’t need a reason
Dm,F,G
Love is self-assassination

Dm
You’ve been lied to just to rape you of your sight,
And now they have the nerve to tell you how to feel.
So sedated as they medicate your brain
And while ya slowly go insane the tell you
Give in with your best intentions
Help ya with your complications

Chorus
Dm               C
You should have known
F             Bb
The price of evil,
Dm               C               F          Bb
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
                            Dm
Ooooh, it’s your fuckin’ nightmare

While your nightmare comes to life

guitar solo
Dm C F Bb

Dm
(ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha)
Fight, fight, not to fail, fail
Not to fall, fall
1stchords.com
Or you’ll end up like the others.
Die, die, die again, die
Drenched in sin, sin
                            Bb
With no respect for another

Oh!  Dm

Dm
Death, You!
Feel the fire, fire
Feel the hate, hate
Your pain is what we desire.
Lost, lost, hit the wall, wall
Watch you crawl, crawl
                       Bb
Such a replaceable liar.

                           C
And I know you hear their voices

(calling from above),
BB                         C
And I know they may seem real

(these signals of love),
Bb                       C
But a life’s made up of choices

(some without appeal),
Bb             B           C
They took for granted your soul
                         Dm
And it’s ours now to steal

As your nightmare comes to life

Chorus
Dm               C
You should have known
F             Bb
The price of evil,
Dm               C               F          Bb
And it hurts to know that you belong here, yeah
Dm          C    F            Bb
No one to call, everybody to fear,
Dm           C                F         Bb  A
Your tragic fate is looking so clear, yeah

ooooh it’s your fuckin’ nightmare

ALMOST EASY

Intro: Dm C Gm Bb – C (x2)

D5 C5 – Bb5 – C5 – D5 (Bb5-A5-)
D5 C5 – Bb5 – C5 – D5

  (G5-A5)-D5
I feel    insane
Every single time I’m asked to compromise
       (G5-A5)-D5
‘Cause I’m    afraid and stuck in my ways
                           (G5-A5)-D5
And that’s the way it stays
So how long did I expect love
                     (G5-A5)-D5
to outweigh ignorance
By the look on your face
                                  (G5-A5)-D5
I may have forced the scale to tip

Chorus 1:
    D5  - C5
I’m not insane

Come back again it’s almost easy
    D5
Shame  pulses through my heart
From the things I’ve done to you
     (G5 -A5)-D5
It’s hard to   face
                                             (G5-A5)-D5
But the fact remains that this is nothing new
                                                (G5-A5)-D5
I left you bound and tied with suicidal memories
Selfish beneath the skin
                              (G5-A5)-D5
But deep inside I’m not insane

    D5 - C5
I’m not insane

Come back again it’s almost easy

I’ve tried to hold on as you’ve slowly slipped away

I’m losing the fight

I’ve treated you so wrong now let me make it right
