Queensryche

Our friend Nikki, charged with several counts of murder involving members of this city's political and religious leaders, has been committed to State Hospital under heavy security. London-born nurse, Debbie, seems determined to administer the tranquilizer...

I trace what's left of my cold steel...as it twitches. Apply the tourniquet tight. Savor the moment, this might be my last sip of life. I see at least one hundred miles Of shifting, stirring sand. A forsaken man in this strangers' land. They've left me...

I still have questions with no answers. I'm alive... but I'm not living. I don't have much time left... I just know this: I've lived a violent life. I might as well be dead. I just want to sleep... forever And forget... It's more than physical, love...

Lost my faith in humanity And I don't trust in society I'm numb, cold, ready. No one else dies today... What did you do? I don't remember... Murderer! They say I'm a murderer! God must be dead because I'm still free. No religion holds me... am I th...

Voices whisper in the night Do you hear them calling me Reflecting faces in the light What is real and what is fantasy Nowhere to be found, I can't breathe again A mother, my lover, my best friend, my best friend My baby's staring back at me, and now a broken...

You mystify with the things that you say. You're telling me you're leaving, that you're going away to take a trip to find, and leave behind the love. I've got a destination, a suggestion for you. You won't need a jet plane or a luxury cruise. Just take a...

Is there some other way out of here? Somewhere I could find myself? Can't sleep enough, can't stay high. All the promises... just another lie. I've always been afraid except... In the moments that I loved you. The only time I felt strong Was whe...

I am the one that’s been keeping you alive Who am I to even try caught in the middle again Sacrifice I give and I give and you take Paid the price needles to say it was never enough Lift lifting the veil revealing the mask in disguise For you are the star no...

Almost cut my hair It happened just the other day It's gettin' kind of long I could've said it was in my way But I didn't and I wonder why I feel like letting my freak flag fly And I feel like I owe it, yeah ... to someone Must be because I had the fl...

Where are you now? Feeling small. Can't live without it? You call this your best? I made my life a mess. And everyone but you sees it. What a fool. What are you gonna do, Make more excuses? Why don't you tie it off? Hang myself? End your pathetic li...

(Instrumental) Weeks ago in Occidental Park Hundreds of people gathered For a political rally There was a man shouting Above all the others: "Do we have freedom? Do we have equality? This country's changing! It is no longer for all of the people! I...

Don't slam the door, on your way out Don't leave without saying goodbye. Another long distance night alone, you leave me wanting, always leave me wanting more. Last word today, coming home to stay? Wouldn't that be nice, for a while? But now my take-out...

You and I long to live like wind upon the water If we close our eyes we'll maybe realize There's more to life than what we have known And I can't believe I've spent so long Living lies I knew were wrong inside I've just begun to see the light Long ago t...

My point of view is expanding everyday and I feel with clarity my vision sway. Your private access takes me all the way. (yeah!) I am amplified by what's inside of you. I feel your energy is something I can't loose. I'm a pressure cooker, I'm about to...

Maybe what we need is just space to breathe. Maybe we just need to take a step back and think this through. Some might find it necessary while others find it challenging. There's so many ways we can change, so many ways to see someone else's point of view....

What will you do when its right upon you like a ring of fire Why ask why no need to justify who really cares anyway Ethical tragedy rabid humanity learn from the past so they say Now is the time to make up your mind and find out what is real Fight or flight y...

Whatever happens now is beyond my control. Emotion has abandoned me. Faded away and left me...cold. The call's been made. I'm here, dependent on the atmosphere contained inside this mask I wear. My breathing is all I hear. I've got the target switch in...

Yeah, you can smell it in air ... Frustration, you know, like no one cares. We've forgotten how to dream. When they come scraping through the wreckage and leave it all for saints to sanctify, You'll be dancing ...at the edge of the world. Now read the headlin...

Take your children Down to the water Wash their heads And sing .. holy, holy Last night I dreamed You were standing there Strong and tall beside me. All my life ... behind me. You gently took me by my hand And led me to where I couldn’t see But wh...

A child alone in daddy's room The gun was hidden here No one home to catch me when I fall A young man now in a private chair I've seen the world through a bitter stare But my dream is still alive I'm going to be the best I can I want to be a busy man...

When I'm looking up, you're looking down. Always on the outside no common ground. I don't get what you think you're trying to be. You know, everything you say is such a bore. I'm just trying to hold on. The paper in front of me is screaming but you can't see...

From the night comes a roar of thunder Beholding light on the spell you're under And the signs of death descend your way Fighting back from the devil's hunger Freeing souls from their chosen number And the sword of right will guide your way And thus you...

Thank-you for the lies The lies you sold us. Thank-you for this vision Of violence. Thank-you for this song You gave me to sing. Thank-you for the capping day Of a culture that lay dying. Yes it’s us dying. Maybe it won’t be long Now that it’s all go...

Stuck in the middle of a warzone I feel your cry Knee deep, I hear the sound Lighting up the sky Shelling, the cowards let it rain From a tag on the wall The violent coloration on the faces of the youth Enraged them all Lies, feeding lies We are the rebels L...

When the whirlwind of noise Surrounds and get intense And when words can't hide Their anger or intent. I feel it in my bones And in my head Can't make sense Of what is said. Ready for the take down Headed for a breakdown. Fear has me backed Agains...

They told me to run But just how far Can I go wearing the black mask of fear? The hate in my eyes always gives me away The tension building slowly Now I've lost everything I had in you Nothing we shared means a thing Without you close to me I can't liv...

You called me up on the phone today struggling with the right words to say. Time can change a thing or two. Time has changed the lives of me and you, but you know... it could have been different dad. The word brings back a sweet memory. I'm sitting on a...

You're broken. Broken like a promise... Can you remember sunny days and the smiling face of love? My love, do you remember me? Hush now, hush now, silly girl don't cry, just put your hand in mine. I remember, the way you laughed and how we danced... all nigh...

In the howling wind comes a stinging rain See it driving nails into souls on the tree of pain from the firefly, a red orange glow See the face of fear running scared in the valley below Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue sky Bullet the blue Bullet the blue...

How many times must we try Lost in the gaze of your watering eyes How many times have we questioned all we’ve ever known I stood right by your side but my love was not enough Now you’re aiming there’s no use in waiting You know the triggers right in front of...

I walk around in circles, up all night. I wish there was something in my life that turned out right. I'm waiting here for reasons that used to be clear. What I thought I needed so bad was always here... 

There's gotta be more than this Cause what you're sayin' don't make sense The fire in your eyes Has gone out again And the only thing I want In the middle of disarray Are words that can make you stay Something that shakes you Would you wait here Would you tu...

Do we ever stop and wonder whats around us Do we take for granted what some may dream to have Broken words of yesterday feels like I'm standing still Promises don't mean a thing like a hunt without the kill Do we ever take the time to see what comes and what...

Hey you cuckoo! See you're in the paper late today, accused of something, and your lips are closed to all of those who know she's missing. Talk abounds she won't be found alive and that's a pity. I read about all of these crimes. When will it end? Carry...

We are all equal but We’re individually different And able to reach The impossible if we try. We find faith and strength In the most unlikely places And love sometimes eludes us But we try. We keep searching And one day we find ... Life goes on and...

I've been wondering what's eating at your head? The cheap way you handle things, the slander that you spread. Making misery is the way you spend your time. I think it's safe to say when it comes to truth you're blind Whatever happened is over now for you....

We're running pretty fast, and we don't suffer fools. We can't get what we're looking for unless we break some rules. Time to change the view, exit same old scene. I'm going to take my money, play it all on red. I'm just getting started! I'm just getting star...

I like to look at shadows sweating on the wall I get excited when I hear footsteps in the hall Outside your balcony I have a room with a view And I'm watching you I dial your telephone each and every afternoon I wait by your door till you're asleep...

I like the way you walk into a room. You take it over like it was put there just for you. You've got “those” sunglasses on. I bet you read Machiavelli in bed and I realize that I'm in way over my head ... But I got it bad ... so bad for you. Got it bad for yo...

You caught my eye tonight and I've seen you watching me. What are you waiting for? Someday never comes. What you say? What you got? Won't you say something? Don't just walk on by. I'm a fool to let you ... go! So now you want me, my arms around you? I can't...

Hanging by a thread, problems in my head, don't know what I said, living to be dead on the run. Corporation greed, television need, overdose and bleed, pornograph obscene, I'm a liar. There's no brakes on me, as I'm running down the track. They'll be wai...

It's harder than I thought, to be so far away. So I thought I'd write this letter to you and explain. For me it wasn't easy to raise the flag and leave. But I thought that you should know how much you mean to me. I won't be there to see you dance and hea...
