Lyrics:
1. LOST IN SPACE
Another star
has fallen without a sound
Another spark
has burned out in the cold
Another door
to barrens standing open
And who is there
to tell me not to give and not to go
How could I know?, how could I know?
That I'll get lost in space to roam forever
How could I know?, how could I see?
feeling like lost in space to roam forever
I'm crawling down
The doorway to the badlands
And kicking down
Are you heard: it's to the black
and all the damage
fading in the oblivion mirror
When the demons
are calling me, their dragging me away
How could I know?, how could I know?
That I'll get lost in space to roam forever
How could I know?, how could I see?
feeling like lost in space to roam forever
Lost in space
lost in time
Lost in space
Lost in Time
Lost in Space
How could I know, how could i know
How could I know, How could I know
That I'll get lost in space to roam for ever
How could I now, how could I see
feeling like lost in space to roam forever
Forever...
2. LAY ALL YOUR LOVE ON ME
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long and they've been pretty scarce
I used to think it was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
3. ANOTHER ANGEL DOWN
[feat. Jorn Lande]
I am the master of the game
that s made a fool you
I m watching from the highest tower
You got the aura to enchant them - and a symphony
And I have got the power
You better taste - they call it life: my special area
I m breeding winners over there
Ain't it a sin to turn your back
on what you re given
It s time to take your share
God left me for dead - I've been turning my head
Away from the living - the time has come
To gamble for gain - To tear down the gate
And see what s inside
We rock the ball
Been smashed to the ground
Arose from devotion
To take a look and see what is inside
Sight of the crown: Another angel down
We rock the ball
I m facing my pain
With a rage and a symphony
Driven by the wounds I cannot hide
Rise above the crowd: another angel down
We ll see a black hole will be left up in the starry sky
We gotta mourn another angel
If I am just a light descending to caducity
It s still so far away
There s no tomorrow
I don t remember yesterday
I m just living for tonight
And all the love I m not gonna waste no more
I won t spit what s divine
They left you for dead - turning your head
Away form the living - from flesh and blood
You've got the draw and desire to claw
For fortune and fame
We rock the ball
Been smashed to the ground
Arose from devotion
To take a look and see what is inside
Sight of the crown: Another angel down
We rock the ball
I m facing my pain
With a rage and a symphony
Driven by the wounds I cannot hide
Rise above the crowd: another angel down
4. THE STORY AIN'T OVER
[feat. Bob Catley & Amanda Somerville]
Rousing from dreams, craving for someone
Wept himself to sleep
He s waiting for a sign from above
Where is the love
The hourglass in pieces, dashed to the wall
The future is over
Tomorrow's been slipping away
And nothing remains
He'd known it won't last forever
She'd go ahead for a while
When you open your eyes
When you gaze at the sky
When you look to the stars
As they shut down the night
You know this story ain't over
When you open your eyes
When you gaze at the sky
When you look to the stars
As they shut down the night
You feel this story ain't over
Where is the candle in this lonesome night?
Angle why are you so wayward
Abandoning me, try my belief
When life is not words
and tongue is not answers
And we only can t see a reason
Why would it mean
that it's not meant to be
He'd known it won't last forever
She d go ahead for a while
When you open your eyes
When you gaze at the sky
When you look to the stars
As they shut down the night
You know this story ain't over
When you open your eyes
When you gaze at the sky
When you look to the stars
As they shut down the night
You feel this story ain't over
5. RETURN TO AVANTASIA
Instrumental6. RIDE THE SKY
[feat. Eric Singer]
[Hansen]
Much too long I've been a prisoner here
The hour has come to break out
Shackled and chained almost goin' insane
It's better to live on the run
Set me free, set me free
Send me a sign, wanna leave it all behind
I'll be leaving the hands of doom
Rearrange the master plan, take the future in my hands
To be free and not trapped anymore
[Chorus]
Ride the sky, Ride the sky
Give me wings to fly, Ride the sky
I have to think for myself and then act
In conformity of my own thoughts
No one should tell me what's wrong and what's right
Why don't you leave me alone
Set me free, set me free
[Chorus]
[Solo: both/K/both/M]
[Chorus]
7. PROMISED LAND
Hey redeemer
Now what's become on me
taken in by promise
awakening in grief
Collecting us like puppets
you instrumentalize
A frigid trepidation
in a million puppet eyes
God gave his word just to let us down
Where is he now?
You've been facing heaven
You were lost to left alone
You re welcome to my home and
Found another heaven
It was you who took my hand
Come into the promised land
You scratched my back and I scratched yours
It s you who makes decisions
I just open up the doors
Whining in the gutter
They forget their sanctity
Welcome to my clockwork
Vanity machinery
You gave your word
You let me down
What am I now
You've been facing heaven
You were lost to left alone
You re welcome to my home and
Found another heaven
It was you who took my hand
Come into the promised land
Oh as far as the eye can see
They re bent in submission
Empty inside
An army of scarecrows like me
Thousands of brokens dreams
Thousands of tragedies
Tried to run from their destiny
Like moths to a flame
Driven by vanity
They been off to Jerusalem
Chasing a dream
Calling on me
We re just trading in needs
You've been facing heaven
You were lost to left alone
You re welcome to my home and
Found another heaven
It was you who took my hand
Come into the promised land
8. DANCING WITH TEARS IN MY EYES
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's five and I'm driving home again
It's hard to believe that it's my last time
The man on the wireless cries again
It's over, it's over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's late and I'm with my love alone
We drink to forget the coming storm
We love to the sound of our favourite song
Over and over
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
It's time and we're in each other's arms
It's time but I don't think we really care
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Living out a memory of a love that died
Dancing with tears in my eyes
Weeping for the memory of a life gone by
Dancing with tears in my eyes
9. SCARY EYES
I spy with my little eye
Things you ll never see
Whispers burn my eardrum
It s eerie to the feel
I see them crawling up the wall
I see them staring at us all
Am I afraid of what I know
They look at you, they look at me
And as they look inquiringly
They scratch their heads
And watch the show
I can t explain, am I ashamed
Scary eyes watching every move
Fail to make out a reason
Scary eyes tracing what we do
At the tail of us fools
Extraterrestrial you follow me around
Not that I don t like you
Basically you re sound
Welcome to the Stone Age
Don t ask me to explain
Or you will crash the headlines:
Martian gone insane
You can t explain why you re insane
Scary eyes watching every move
Fail to make out a reason
Scary eyes tracing what we do
At the tail of us fools
Why are you afraid of little spider
Not a claudication
Or other complication
Why don t you just be a little wiser
You stick in a relation
Instead of fornication
I can t explain, am I ashamed
Scary eyes watching every move
Fail to make out a reason
Scary eyes tracing what we do
At the tail of us fools
10. IN MY GEFENSE
In my defence what is there to say
All the mistakes we made must be faced today
It's not easy now knowing where to start
While the world we love tears itself apart
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream
In my defence what is there to say
We destroy the love - it's our way
We never listen enough never face the truth
Then like a passing song
Love is here and then it's gone
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
For just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between
With a fading dream
I'm just a singer with a song
How can I try to right the wrong
I'm just a singer with a melody
I'm caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Caught in between with a fading dream
Oh what on earth
Oh what on earth
How do I try
Do we live or die
Oh help me God
Please help me
11. LOST IN SPACE (EXTENDED VERSION)
Another star
has fallen without a sound
Another spark
has burned out in the cold
Another door
to barrens standing open
And who is there
to tell me not to give and not to go
How could I know? how could I know?
That I'll get lost in space to roam forever
How could I know? how could I see?
feeling like lost in space to roam forever
I'm crawling down
The doorway to the badlands
And kicking down
Are you heard: it's to the black
and all the damage
fading in the oblivion mirror
When the demons
are calling me, their dragging me away
How could I know?, how could I know?
That I'll get lost in space to roam forever
How could I know?, how could I see?
feeling like lost in space to roam forever
Lost in space
lost in time
Lost in space
Lost in Time
Lost in Space
How could I know, how could i know
How could I know, How could I know
That I'll get lost in space to roam for ever
How could I now, how could I see
feeling like lost in space to roam forever
Forever...
