The Final Countdown


"The Final Countdown"

We're leaving together
But still it's farewell
And maybe we'll come back
To Earth, who can tell

I guess there is no one to blame
We're leaving ground
Will things ever be the same again

It's the final countdown
The final countdown

We're heading for Venus
And still we stand tall
'Cause maybe they've seen us
And welcome us all, yeah

With so many light years to go
And things to be found
I'm sure that we'll all miss her so

It's the final countdown
The final countdown

It's the final countdown
We're leaving together
The final countdown
We'll all miss her so


"Rock the Night"

I've gone through changes, I've gone through pain
But there's not enough reason for me to go insane
I know the feeling, just when it grows
I'm in a rage up from my head down to my toes

You know it ain't easy
Running out of thrills
You know it ain't easy
When you don't know what you want
What do you want

You want to rock now, rock the night
'Til early in the morning light
Rock now, rock the night
You'd better believe it's right

I know my limit, just what it takes
When things ain't good enough, I just pull the brake
Sometimes it's easy, sometimes so tough
But just have one thing clear, I can't get enough

You know it ain't easy
Running out of thrills
You know it ain't easy
When you don't know what you want
What do you want

You want to rock now, rock the night
'Til early in the morning light
Rock now, rock the night
You'd better believe it's right


"Carrie"

When lights go down, I see no reason for you to cry
We've been through this before
In every time, in every season
God knows I've tried, so please don't ask for more

Can't you see it in my eyes
This might be our last goodbye

Carrie, Carrie
Things, they change, my friend
Carrie, Carrie
Maybe we'll meet
Again, somewhere, again

I read your mind, with no intentions
Of being unkind, I wish I could explain
It all takes time, a whole lot of patience
If it's a crime, how come I feel no pain

Can't you see it in my eyes
This might be our last goodbye

Carrie, Carrie
Things, they change, my friend
Carrie, Carrie
Maybe we'll meet
Again


"Danger on the Track"

I was heading for the mountains
I had saved so much for you
And in the town I left behind me
There was nothing left to do

I knew that you were waiting
For me to save your life
'Cause I told you when I left
That when I come back
You'll be my wife

Someone was waiting
In the shadows of the night
Someone was waiting
It just didn't feel right

Danger on the track
Something told me there were
Strangers on my back
And I was so right

Maybe I should surrender
Maybe I should give it up
But the strength I had inside
Told me you can never stop

The men wanted to break me
Steal and bring me down
But I fought for you and later
They were lying on the ground

Someone was waiting
In the shadows of the night
Someone was waiting
It just didn't feel right

Danger on the track
Something told me there were
Strangers on my back
And I was so right


"Ninja"

Tell me the story
Tell me the legend
Tell me the tales of war
Tell me just one time
What it was like before

Bring me the feeling
Right in that moment
When a heart for battle cries
Find me the treasure
Where the legend lies

If I were a noble ancient knight
I'd stand by your side to rule and fight
It will always feel the same
When I call out your name

Ninja survive, in dreams I walk by your side
Ninja survive, with you there's no need to hide

A handful of sayings
Are more than a reason
For me to feel this way
I'd like to be near you
Maybe for just one day

So tell me the legend
Tell me the story
Tell me the tales of war
Tell me just one time
What it was like before

If I were a noble ancient knight
I'd stand by your side to rule and fight
It will always feel the same
When I call out your name

Ninja survive, in dreams I walk by your side
Ninja survive, with you there's no need to hide


"Cherokee"

They lived in peace, not long ago
A mighty Indian tribe
But the winds of change
Had made them realize
That the promises were lies

The white man's greed in search of gold
Made the nation bleed
They had lost their faith
And now they had to learn
There was no place to return
Nowhere they could turn

Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears

They were driven hard across the plains
And walked for many moons
'Cause the winds of change
Had made them realize
That the promises were lies

So much to bear, all that pain
Left them in despair
They had lost their faith
And now they had to learn
There was no place to return
Nowhere they could turn

Cherokee - marching on the trail of tears


"Time Has Come"

Long for the sailor beneath the skies
Long for the white dove, no matter where she flies
Long for the stranger you know so well

Pray for the soldier who's wounded bad
Pray for the dreamer, he's still so sad
Pray for the stranger you know so well

'Cause I'm coming home
Now the time has come
For me to come back home

Long for the eagle on wings so strong
Long for the hunter, he won't be long
Long for the stranger you know so well

'Cause I'm coming home
Now the time has come
For me to come back home


"Heart of Stone"

I've told you once and I've told you twice
Wait for that day when our love will rise
To that song that brought our hearts together

Even though you're mistreating me
I know the girl that you used to be
For me those days were meant to last forever

Time after time I'm wondering why
Am I to be all alone
Day after day I pray that you'll stay
'Cause you've got a heart of stone

I walk the streets like a broken man
Oh, I wish that you would understand
Even though you're still the one I wait for

I guess in love there's no guarantee
Sometimes it's not what it seems to be
Even though you're still the one I care for

Time after time I'm wondering why
Am I to be all alone
Day after day I pray that you'll stay
'Cause you've got a heart of stone


"On the Loose"

Running out on the streets
He lives from day to day
Looking for something to do
He needs to get away

Hoping that maybe one day
He could be someone
Praying that maybe someday
He could be number one

In his world of make believe
He always tends to be

On the loose
So young, so tough, so wild
On the loose again

Dreaming, dreaming about
All the things he'd like to do
Trying, trying so hard
To make it all up to you

In his world of make believe
He always tends to be

On the loose
So young, so tough, so wild
On the loose again


"Love Chaser"

Someone's at your door tonight
Someone wants your love
Is it real or just imagination
You decide to wait inside 'til the break of dawn
In dreams you see yourself seeking affection

He'll know just who you are
He'll know just where you've been
He'll know just what to do

Love chaser - If you look deep in his eyes
Then you're in for a big surprise
He can take your breath away
There's nothing you can do or say

You can feel that someone's at your back
You can hear his pounding heart
But something tells you not to be afraid
'Cause even in the darkest night, someone's at your side
But when morning comes, it all starts to fade away

He'll know just who you are
He'll know just where you've been
He'll know just what to do

Love chaser - If you look deep in his eyes
Then you're in for a big surprise
He can take your breath away
There's nothing you can do or say
