Frost And Fire

The tales that speak of frost and fire,
The Frost Monstreme and the Fire Divine.
The frost preserves and the fire destroys us,
Like pouring rain on the sands of time.

Chorus:
I feel it burning,
I feel the freeze.
The frost, the fire,
it burns inside of me.

The tales that speak of frost and fire,
The guardian angels and the demons of night.
The power preserves and the Beast will destroy us,
Like gathering darkness in the circle of light.

Chorus

Solo (Jerry)

Chorus

The tales that speak of frost and fire,
Tales of all the souls that fell.
Words that burn and words that chill us,
Like laughter kindling in the heart of hell.

Chorus

 

 

 

I'm Alive

I shiver when I remember
The things that 1 have seen.
I know the light, know the Night,
I have walked with things unseen.
I have been a king invincible,
I've been the poorest of the poor.
I 've pulled the mighty from their thrones,
And laughed at Death's own door.

Chorus:

I'm alive....

I roamed the world in search of life,
Death followed in my wake.
I searched for truth, (I want the truth!)
And learned more than I could take.
I've walked the roads of mystery,
And it's aged me much too soon.
I've paid the piper and I've paid him well,
But he still calls the tune.

Chorus

Solo (Jerry)

Chorus

I shiver when I remember
The shadow of the past.
The lonely days, the lonely ways,
When every breath could be my last.
I lost my heart, I lost my soul,
By every hand betrayed.
But I've still got strength, I've still got life,
And that will never change.

Solo (Greg)

Chorus

 

 

A Little Fire

Lying awake in the dead of night.
Listening to my heart beat away.
Wishing 1 wasn't alone here tonight,
But wishing just gets in the way.

Chorus:

I just want, I just want a little fire!
I just want. I just want a little fire!

The night's so cold when you're all alone.
At least it's always been cold to me.
And the clock ticks away, ticks away,
And the cold settles in around me.

Chorus

Solo (Greg)

You might be wondering just how it feels,
Well I hope you never know.
'Cause I know exactly just how it feels,
It's all 1 ever know.

Chorus

 

 

 

What Does It Take

I think I'm losing my innocence,
I'm out to get what I can get.
I'd put it down to experience,
But I haven't had any yet.

Chorus:

What does it take, to get to you?

Maybe it's better him than me,
It's a pretty picture, but 1 don't wanna see.
Different faces and different names,
They all seem different but they're all the same.

Chorus

Break Solo (Jerry)

Look through me like I'm not there,
You always act like you just don't care.
You never see what you wanted to see,
Why don't you take a better look at me?

Chorus

 

 

 

Edge Of A Knife

It seems I'm always frustrated,
When I should be satisfied.
But as long as I'm frustrated,
I know I'm still alive.
I've got 20/20 hindsight,
But I won't live in the past.
I like to look up at the sky
When I'm flat on my ass....

Chorus:

Edge of a Knife, edge of a knife,
Maybe that's what they mean by real life.

I got my rock 'n roll haircut,
I got my rock 'n roll jeans.
Just to make me feel like
Someone I'd rather not be.
I don't care if you laugh at me.
It's better than being ignored.
Anyway, I'm used to it.
That's what fools are for.

Chorus

Solo (Greg)

Maybe I gotta get hurt,
Maybe that's what I need.
'Cause I got music in my bloodstream,
Sometimes I just can't seem to bleed.
I don't care if you laugh at me.
It's better than being ignored.
Anyway, I'm used to it.
That's what fools are for.

Chorus

Solo (Jerry)

Better Of Dead

I'm tired of being the odd man out.
I speak with a whisper but 1 feel with a shout.
I feel out of tune, I feel out of key.
I feel like I'm missing a part of me.

Chorus:

I've got a lot on my head....
And my condition's read....
I think I'm better off dead...
Sometimes, sometimes....

They say that lightning never strikes twice,
But I've been hit more than once in my life.
I've been taken in so many times,
A thousand promises, a thousand lies.

Chorus

Solo (Jerry)

Sometimes I take a look at the world.
Sometimes 1 take a look at the girls.
I'm just a spectator, I don't get involved.
I've got too many problems of my own to solve.

Chorus

 

 

 

 

Maybe That's Why

I don't know how you really feel.
I just know you've been hurt.
Wish I could say what I really feel,
But I know you need more than words.
To say everything I wanted to say,
I'd have to write a book.
But you can say so much more
With just a single look.

Chorus:

Maybe that's why, maybe that's why,
I love you....

Close my eyes and 1 see your face,
My heart starts beating your name.
Look in your eyes and I melt away,
I know I'll never be the same.

Chorus

Solo

Now here's the moral of the story,
I know it's easier said than done.
Believe in your dreams, believe in yourself,
No matter, no matter what comes.
You've got the power, you've got the strength,
I know you're gonna pull through.
And just in case it matters,
Remember that I believe in you.

Chorus
