King Of The Hill I've paid my dues I’ve been around, I’ve done my time Now it’s time to take this town, It’s been a long hard climb You got to dig down deep and reach for the sky Don’t lose sight, don’t ever let it go Yeah it’s King of the Hill I’ve driven long I’ve driven hard, I’ve found my way I’ve given all and then some more, that much I can say You got to dig down deep and reach for the sky Don’t lose sight, don’t ever let it go Yeah it’s King of the Hill I’ve survived the test of time, my strength remains Growing stronger day by day, I gotta’ stake my claim You got to dig down deep and reach for the sky Don’t lose sight, don’t ever let it go Yeah it’s King of the Hill King Of The Hill

The Edge 04:37
The Edge The situation in our modern world that you find yourself within You always choose to be the one that draws the line, and everyday it’s lose or win. One step from falling on the razors edge Must have been something that somebody said We’re living on the edge And there is no turning back We’re living on the edge The time to reason always comes your way and the answers never heard Never the one to turn away and let it go, so once again the lines are blurred One step from falling on the razors edge Must have been something that somebody said We’re living on the edge And there is no turning back We’re living on the edge We’re living on the edge And there is no turning back We’re living on the edge of insanity The Edge

Shadow Man 05:20
Shadow Man Tell me who I am, ‘cause I don’t know I’m just a Shadow Man that you see I’ve got nothing but an empty bottle and an empty soul My empty hands they hold my memory Just a shadow Ask me to smile, I don’t think I can Tell me my name, don’t you know who I am Show me tomorrow, you wouldn’t understand Drink a glass of sorrow, ‘cause I’m your Shadow Man When you smile for me, the more that I cry The longer I live for you, the sooner I die (Can’t you see) Oh don’t you understand (Killing me) I’m your shadow man I’m your Shadow Man Tell me who I am, ‘cause I don’t know I’m just a Shadow Man that you see When you smile for me, the more that I cry The longer I live for you, the sooner I die (Can’t you see) Oh don’t you understand (Killing me) I’m your shadow man (Can’t you see) ‘gonna make my stand (Killing me) I’m your shadow man I’m your Shadow Man When you’re laughing at me, the more that I cry The longer I live for you, the sooner I die

Not Enough Time Father time says you’ve run out of sand He’s coming for you, yes he’s making is stand The places and things that you wanted to see Now they’re all gone, its reality All my life, thought tomorrow would never come And all the things I started will now be left undone There’s still things to see, but there’s not enough time There’s still things to do, but you’ve wasted your time Now here we are, we’ve got plenty of time Lead by the truth, stopped the clock from its chime The places and things that you wanted to see Now they’re all gone, It’s reality All my life, thought tomorrow would never come And all the things I started will now be left undone There’s still things to see, but there’s not enough time There’s still things to do, but you’ve wasted your time

The Game 05:44
The Game I woke up this morning and the mirror’s still the same Day in and day out, I’m still playing this foolish game There just isn’t no way I can find my piece of mind Living my life like this well you surely must be blind ‘Cause I know this just can’t be my life now, ‘Cause burning dreams are how we feel And we leave it all behind, ‘cause our dreams are on the line Don’t let them go I’m looking for answers to the questions that remain Still trying to find a way out from this foolish game There just isn’t no way I can find my piece of mind Living my life like this well you surely must be blind ‘Cause I know this just can’t be my life now ‘Cause burning dreams are how we feel And we leave it all behind, ‘cause our dreams are on the line Don’t let them go ‘Cause I know this just can’t be my life now ‘Cause burning dreams are how we feel And we leave it all behind ‘cause our dreams are on the line Don’t let them go

Sands Of Time You’re fighting the world, don’t you know that’s not the way Your misguided passion, wisdom shows that only the strong survive The price of glory, you’re once a fool, twice betrayed Lost all direction, your time is up, your people have turned away All your power it’s in your mind It’s just a moment in the sands of time Naked aggression, apocalyptic threats to sway Evil domination, a reckless path that fails to lead the way All your power it’s in your mind Just a moment in the sands of time Your flags are waiving but now the colors are white Now it’s all a wasteland, your time is up, the fires are burning brighter, and brighter everyday The Sands Of Time are running low Chorus All your power it’s in your mind It’s just a moment in the Sands Of time – The Sands Of Time

Same Old Story You’re alone it feels like forever, made mistakes too hard to untie Now you can’t escape the memories no matter how hard you try You always thought you were the strong one, now you know that I was the one As you begin to count the passing days, our lives have only begun I don’t know why you haven’t learned your lesson yet Until you try you’ll never find your way The same old story ‘Cause you could not understand The same old story, ‘cause I gave you your last chance The time we shared has gone away now, nothing left but sorrow and shame I can’t deny you were the one for me but I just couldn’t be tamed You broke a lot of promises and lied, I find it hard to believe That we even lasted all this time, It was so easy to see I don’t know why you haven’t learned your lesson yet Until you try you’ll never find your way The same old story ‘Cause you could not understand The same old story, ‘cause I gave you your last chance

Full Circle 03:55
Full Circle No broken shattered songs, back on my feet and I feel strong Out with the old and in with the new, my true colors shining through The light shines brightest in the dark Now you’ve come Full Circle The time in your life when you reach for the heights from before No longer taken for a ride, just kicking back and I’ll take it all in stride I’m looking out for number one, no one to answer to the good has just begun The light shines brightest in the dark Now you’ve come Full Circle The time in your life when you reach for the heights from before No broken shattered songs, back on my feet and I feel strong Out with the old and in with the new, my true colors shining through And the light shines brightest in the dark Now you’ve come Full Circle The time in your life when you reach for the heights from before
9.
Nightmare 04:57
Nightmare As the skies begin to darken you slip into a dream Illusions cross reality, nothings what it seems Visions flash before your eyes, confusion fills your mind Will you ever try to make it back to what you’ve left behind You’re running from the darkness It’s chasing after you All at once you start to awaken, you start to see the light The dream you thought you left behind is still within your sight Reaching out, holding on, refusing to let go Your guiding light at the edge of night, is just a moonlight glow You’re running from the darkness It’s chasing after you Don’t you know you’re living in a Nightmare You close your eyes and wish it would end

Caution To The Wind All around looking down upon you, you feel the coldness from the eyes of life Feeling down from morning ‘til night, you fight depression for the thousandth time all alone Gone away is the face of passion, it looked the other way when times were tough Got to wake from the time you’re wasting, ‘cause you’re not lying in the bed you made anymore You’ve got to trust who really cares Let go, Throw your caution to the wind Don’t hesitate to make a change Throw your caution to the wind Growing old and you’re without laughter, is that the way it’s really got to be, oh got to be You walk around without your blinds on, just lift your head up see the dead end street drawing near Soon enough you will discover your treasure chest of life will open wide Diving in you’ll soon uncover that everything you find is yours to keep, it’s all for you You’ve got to trust who really cares Let go, throw your Caution To The Wind Don’t hesitate to make a change Throw your caution to the wind

Man With Two Faces He’s living in a dream world, has no regard for his fellow man He always thinks he’s so untouchable, the world it twists by his hand Beware of the Man With Two Faces, what you see is not what you’ll get Watch out for the Man With Two Faces, use caution, never turn your back He’s never lived a life of compromise, it’s his way or no way at all So open up your eyes and realize, if you cross him you’re headed for a fall Beware of the Man With Two Faces, what you see is not what you’ll get Watch out for the Man With Two Faces, use caution, never turn your back Just when you think he’s on your side He’ll change his face, stab your back, he’s full of lies! Lies! Lies! He’ll try and fool you with his crocodile tears, his selfishness and vanity reign Lacking-in Empathy! Integrity! And Sympathy! It’s all replaced by disdain! Beware of the Man With Two Faces, what you see is not what you’ll get Watch out for the Man With Two Faces, use caution, never turn your back
