1. LivinÂ’ In A World Without You

You told me my darling
Without me youÂ’re nothing
You taught me to look in your eyes
And fed me your sweet lies

Suddenly someone was there in the window
Looking outside at a sky that had never been blue

There's a world without you
I see the light
LivinÂ’ in a world without you
There is hope to guide me
I will survive
LivinÂ’ in a world without you

It's hard to believe that it came to this
You paralyzed my body with a poisoned kiss
For forty days and nights I was chained to your bed
You thought that was the end of the story
Something inside me called freedom came alive
LivinÂ’ in a world without you

You put me together
Then trashed me for pleasure
You used me again and again
Abused me, confused me

Suddenly naked I run through your garden
Right through the gates of the past and I'm finally free

Chorus
2. Ten Black Roses

Life is like a boat in a bottle
Try to sail you canÂ’t with no air
Day by day it only gets harder
Try to scream but nobody cares

Through the glass you see the same faces
Hear their voices fade like a drone
When your lifeÂ’s a boat in a bottle
YouÂ’re surrounded drifting alone

DonÂ’t leave me now
Stay another day
With me

When youÂ’re sad
And no one knows it
IÂ’ll send you
Black roses
When your heartÂ’s
Dark and frozen
I will send you
Black roses

Far away we wait for each other
IÂ’m still on that road to nowhere
Kiss yourself for me in the mirror
Tie a black rose into your hair

DonÂ’t lose your faith
Share another night
With me

Chorus

Ten black roses
Ten black roses

Your life is like a boat in the bottle
Try to sail you canÂ’t with no air
Day by day it only gets harder
Try to scream but nobody cares

Chorus
3. Ghost Of Love

I am near you
You donÂ’t see me
Can you feel me
IÂ’m closer than close

Does it hurt
Does it burn
Do you know
What youÂ’ve lost
Are you scared of the dark

Now that youÂ’re gone
All that remains
Is the ghost of love
Deep in my mind
I hear the chains
Of the ghost of love

You are falling
Down underneath
YouÂ’ll be crawling
Lower than low

Can you sleep
Can you breathe
When you know
What youÂ’ve done
Tell me where will you run

Chorus

You were flawless
Cruel and thoughtless
And all that you left me
Is the Ghost of love

IÂ’m fading
IÂ’m barley breathing
CanÂ’t hold on
IÂ’m dying
I must be bleeding
WonÂ’t be long

Chorus
4. Justify

So close so far
IÂ’m lost in time
Ready to follow a sign
If there was only a sign

The last goodbye
Burns in my mind
Why did I leave you behind
Guess it was too high to climb

Give me a reason
Why would you want me
To live and die
Living a lie
You were the answer
All that I needed
To justify
Justify my life

Someone as beautiful as you
Could do much better itÂ’s true
That didnÂ’t matter to you

I tried so hard to be the one
Its something I couldnÂ’t do
Guess I was under the gun

Chorus

ItÂ’s only right
That I should go
And find myself
Before I go and ruin
Someone else

So close so far
IÂ’m lost in time
Ready to follow a sign
If there was only a sign

Chorus

ItÂ’s only right
That I should go
And find myself
Before I go and ruin
Someone else
5. Your Forgiveness

It's time for forgiveness
It's time to repent
Time for ascendance
To live without revenge
We'll never be together
ItÂ’s time to face the truth

You tell me
Who can make it last forever
Destiny
Couldn't seal our fates together
There's a time for anger
Cause I still bleed from your last kiss
The war is over
And all I need from you is this
Your forgiveness

You were my religion
I gave you my soul
Your body was the light
You were my obsession
I gave you all control
I didn't know your
Heart was cold and made of stone

You tell me
Who can make it last forever
Destiny
Couldn't seal our fates together
There's a time for anger
Cause I still bleed from your last kiss
The war is over
And all I need from you is this
The hardest thing for you to give
Your forgiveness

Chorus
6. Run To You

TomorrowÂ’s taking me away from you
Like a jealous lover
Kiss me one last time
Before I go down this broken road I follow
You will leave me torn
And sting me like
A thorn from a dying rose
The saddest scent of you will cling to me
I know

I will run to you
When my journeyÂ’s over
Wait for me
Keep our love alive
I will dream of you
Till I reach the sun
Then IÂ’ll turn around and run
To you

If I stay with you and linger here
Another moment
I will fade into the scenery
You wouldnÂ’t even see me
IÂ’ve got nothing left to offer you
ItÂ’s not that I donÂ’t care
All I ask is that you think of me
I swear

Chorus

I hate to see you cry
The way you look away
Makes me wanna die

Chorus
7. You Got It Wrong

When you found me on the street
Did you think you rescued me
Bet you thought without you I would die
Like a snake you swallowed me
I took it till I couldnÂ’t breathe
Just to bring your fantasies to life
You count on the faithful
To get your way
And to follow your light

You got it wrong now
Cause I donÂ’t give a Â…
IÂ’m not your believer
You got it wrong so
I guess youÂ’re out of luck
Your dream just lost a dreamer

You fool me with your mystery
Preaching peace and charity
But I see through your vanity and lies
You think you got the best of me
But I will rewrite history
IÂ’ll take back my life to your surprise
If I could make it as painful
As you did for me
IÂ’d be just wasting my time

Chorus

There's a little part of me
That would like to see you cry
Even if itÂ’s just one tear
I know it would never dry

Chorus
8. Lost And Lonely
It feels like the end of time
Like something bad is coming
YouÂ’ve been living in the world of lies
Your see through walls are falling
ItÂ’s getting hard to except that IÂ’m losing you

I watch as you sleep
Your nightmares break the silence
I can tell that youÂ’re in too deep
Got your mind down to a science
And every time that I touch you
IÂ’m losing you

YouÂ’re the eve of my destruction
In the garden of fears

Why am I devastated
You through it all away
Now whoÂ’s the one whoÂ’s lost and lonely
I gotta break away from you
Who will pay for all the things youÂ’ve done
IÂ’m not the only one

YouÂ’re out of control inside
I donÂ’t need x-ray vision
To see all the desperate signs
You made your heart a prison
I took it all out of fear of losing you

In the valley of deception
There is a river of tears

Chorus

So many nights
So many fights
So many days
Too easy to erase

Chorus
9. The Fight

Everything is still and calm
In the dead of night
Right before for the fight
Clouds are gathering for the storm
Destiny decides
Who will live or die

IÂ’ve been waiting for this moment
ItÂ’s time for the battle
Even if I never make it
Take me home
I might never get my story
Carved in stone
But I will rise again
The fight is to the end

The pounding of the drums of war
Turns your tears to mud
Rivers turns to blood

If you live to see another day
To take another breathe
Make it life or death

Chorus

Give me strength to carry on
Till my life is done

Everybody wants the glory
But you better remember
The fight is to the end
10. Dangerous Kind

You got me in this situation
You got me backed against the wall
Caught in a web of your creation
I bet you set me up to fall

Once I thought about it
I figured out your wicked ways
ThereÂ’s no doubt about it
YouÂ’d sell your soul to seal the case

YouÂ’re the dangerous kind
Now look at what youÂ’ve done to me
What youÂ’ve done to me baby
YouÂ’ve gotta criminal mind
Your motive is to plant a seed
Now IÂ’d kill for you baby

You gotta shady reputation
From bed to bed to man to man
Once you deliver your temptation
No one can stop your master plan
DonÂ’t try to lie about it
I donÂ’t believe a thing you say
The more you try to hide it
The more the lies show on your face

Chorus

IÂ’ve been sleeping with the enemy
Now IÂ’m doing the time
Paying up for the crime
Guess you took everything you could from me

Chorus
11. Live Forever

Was it an angel
That knocked on my door
Or was it a wind
Was I still sleeping
Lost in a dream
Or was it you

We swam in the fountains
Beneath the northern stars
We cried from the laughter
And died in each otherÂ’s arms

Remember
Live forever
Remember
To live for love

I got back my letters
Ages ago
Your address unknown
I pass a stranger
Who had your eyes
Or was it you

We ran through the graveyard
To catch to midnight sun
We danced drunk and naked
Until the summer was gone
