It’s a brand new day in this city of grey
And modern world has it’s way
Do we realize how it changed our lives?
Right before our eyes
Working like ants running like rats
We’re rich in our pockets but not in our hearts
We live in shadows
Only echoes we hear
We afraid to feel
What made us real
This is the zombie town
Lost souls that were never found
See the dead people walking around
this is the zombie town
We build high walls
Instead of bridges to each other
But when our end is near
The walls never matter
So many people talking on the phone
But yet they just walk all alone
We live in shadows
Only echoes we hear
We afraid to feel
What made us real
This is the zombie town
Lost souls that were never found
See the dead people walking around
this is the zombie town
Sometimes I wonder
As I look in the mirror
Am I one of them, am I one of them?

Tide of Spirits
05:06
|
|||
|
Things we never did - Words we never said
Bridges we never built - Of love we never shared
For Postcards we never sent - For letters we never wrote
Now that you’ve gone my friend - Great stories remained untold
There’s no second chance in the last tick of clock
Do it now or never, cause when time is over, there’s no turning back
We come, we go
What do we leave behind?
Live fast, live slow
You cannot beat up time
And now you’ve gone my friend
Someday we’ll meet again
When the tide of spirits turns
For dreams we never dreamt - For goals we never set
For tops we didn’t climb - Did we take that first step?
Did we color our days - in a world cast in gray?
If you wanna see the change - you must be it in every way
There’s no second chance in the last tick of clock
Do it now or never, cause when time is over, there’s no turning back
We come, we go
What do we leave behind?
Live fast, live slow
You cannot beat up time
And now you’ve gone my friend
Someday we’ll meet again
When the tide of spirits turns
I find myself in grieving
You’re the happiness I’m missing
But Now turns to past
So easy so fast
It’s time to catch the tide
One last chance to make it right

Life is a Chess
04:21
|
|||
|
The board is set, the pieces are moving
A life so hard, makes choices confusing
We all like to win, we must learn to lose
Mind every step, is about the moves
You may get isolated and lost in the dark
You may lose the game, Never lose the faith in your heart
Life is a chess, life is a pawn
Can’t go back, keep moving on
Think wise only the forethought wins
Never give up on your dreams
Life is a chess, life is a pawn
The more you try, the more you earn
With each passing day, there’s a lesson you learn
Every master was once a beginner
If you wanna reach the stars, you must be a dreamer
You may get isolated and lost in the dark
You may lose the Game Never lose the faith in your heart
Life is a chess, life is a pawn
Can’t go back, keep moving on
Think wise only the forethought wins
Never give up on your dreams
Life is a chess, life is a pawn
King or a Queen
You are on your own
Do it all with passion
Tear down the walls
Once the game is over
All return in the same box

Step up the Stairs
04:08
|
|||
|
When you start from Scratch
And you fight for a dream
You must never give up
Must never give in
It’s only your shoulder
You must lean on
Always remember
Where you started from
Don’t lose your faith, don’t skip your goals
Even when you’re feeling lost
Turn your vision into a venture
Filled with ambition head for adventure
Step up, step up the stairs
Have faith in your heart, you gotta try your best
So step up , step up the stairs
Don’t look back, now is your chance
Some things need time, some others luck
Keep your eyes on the prize an’don’t look back
True chances won’t hit your door
Unless you make known your presence to the world
So, turn your vision into a venture
Filled with ambition head for adventure
Step up, step up the stairs
Have faith in your heart, you gotta try your best
So step up , step up the stairs
Don’t look back, now is your chance
And even when all your strength is gone
And you’ve got mountains to climb on..
Step up, step up the stairs..

It Means Nothing to You
04:01
|
|||
|
You said you needed time you needed space
All that we had so quickly you replaced
And all that we went through
You easily erased
You said you really care, you would be there
When i needed you the most You turned into a ghost
Somewhere inside of you
Maybe you love me
It was so easy for you
To get a hold on me
You are always on my mind
And if it hurts me deep inside
I ask of you..
Please use me...please abuse me
Until you really lose me
I wanna feel the same way too
As it means nothing to you
It means nothing to you
Dreams brought us close
Now we got lost
You found something new
Our past means nothing to you
And you build the walls
that keep me outside
Outside of your life
Somewhere inside of you
Maybe you love me
It was so easy for you
To get a hold on me
You are always on my mind
And if it hurts me deep inside
I ask of you..
Please use me...please abuse me
Until you really lose me
I wanna feel the same way too
As it means nothing to you
It means nothing to you
When you love someone there’s no return
So please use me, please abuse me - Again and again

Teach me to Dance
04:17
|
|||
|
I wanna get lost with you in a dance
Wanna feel the scenes around me moving fast
Wanna get lost in a moment that lasts forever
Into your arms I surrender
It’s a tough world out there we all struggle to survive
It’s motivation that keeps us alive
So teach me to dance, teach me how to fly
Let’s escape these walls, yeah we gotta try
This world is crazy, don’t ask me why
Let’s dance in the rhythm of you and I
So teach me to dance, teach me how to fly
Let’s escape these walls, yeah we gotta try
Reach for the stars, touch the sky
Let’s dance in the rhythm of you and I
You are the freedom, you are the wings
You are the landscape the paint of my dreams
Cause when I’m sinking low and lost in vain
Your words give me hope make wanna dance in the rain
What keeps me going, keeps me alive
I gotta keep moving on, in order to survive
So teach me to dance, teach me how to fly
Let’s escape these walls, yeah we gotta try
This world is crazy, don’t ask me why
Let’s dance in the rhythm of you and I
So teach me to dance, teach me how to fly
Let’s escape these walls, yeah we gotta try
Reach for the stars, touch the sky
Let’s dance in the rhythm of you and

Eagle in the Hail
05:05
|
|||
|
All the times that we fall down
All these times we must get up
It’s another fight, it’s another round
Find the strength inside your heart
Now the storm has come
Without a warning
And I’m walking alone
Through thunder an’ lighting
(and I say hey oh hey) I’m an eagle in the hail
(oh no) not a needle in the hay
With broken wings still flying my way
I’m an eagle in the hail
I’m walking through mist and shadows
And all my hopes seem so shallow
Only the hurt runs deep
But I never kneel no matter how weak
(and I say hey oh hey) I’m an eagle in the hail
(oh no) not a needle in the hay
With broken wings still flying my way
I’m an eagle in the hail
Nothing’s gonna get me down
I’ll choose when I hit the ground
I’m an eagle in the hail

Bleeding Rose
03:42
|
|||
|
Some people cross our paths
Some cross our hearts
Some heal our wounds
Some leave us scars
Some stay for long
Some move on fast
Like a brand new steel
That is born to rust
I count the times I’ve got burnt in flames
You may see me smile but the hurt remains
Cause I’m a bleeding rose, yeah a bleeding rose
I’m a bleeding rose, since she left me
I’m a bleeding rose, Till someone heals my wounds
I’m a bleeding rose
Some people want it all
Some settle for less
Every time I felt in love
I gave my best
And they say what you give
Is what you get
A broken dream
Is what I’ve got instead
I count the times I’ve got burnt in flames
You may see me smile but the hurt remains
Cause I’m a bleeding rose, yeah a bleeding rose
I’m a bleeding rose, since she left me
I’m a bleeding rose, Till someone heals my wounds
I’m a bleeding rose
She lighted my dark like a midnight sun
As a fading spark love came undone

Celebration
03:31
|
|||
|
When you think of tomorrow and forget about today
Illusions you follow while you lose your way
But the moment is now this is where we belong
Take a look around before the moment is gone x2
So hold on to this, babe hold on to this
Open your eyes see that life is…
Celebration – Celebration
When every day begins enjoy the simple things
It’s Celebration – elevation
Every time we kiss
In days of rain we’ll create our sunshine
In days of mist we’ll color our lines
In days of dust we’ll draw our paths
If you believe we can reach for the stars x2
So hold on to this, babe hold on to this
Open your eyes see that life is…
Celebration – celebration
When you’re by my side, hold me tight
It’s Celebration – elevation
When I see you smile
Let’s Celebrate each day that passes by
And the fireworks won’t leave our sky

Somewhere
04:43
|
|||
|
We’re all coming from somewhere
And we all heading somewhere
Some of us lose the way
And some just get there
Everything happens for a reason
And everything falls in place
We all need something to believe in
When the road signs are erased
Sometimes I look out the window
I wish I was somewhere else
My thoughts run like a water flow
My mind gets no rest
Somewhere the sky is crying - And somewhere they pray for rain
Somewhere luck is smiling - And somewhere dreams die in vain
Somewhere kids are starving
An’ somewhere they throw away their food
Somewhere people are dying
Cause politics never do what it should
And love should be everywhere
But somewhere is out of reach
I’m lucky cause it’s always there
When I see you in my dreams
Sometimes I look out the window
I wish I was somewhere else
I wonder what stops me now
Of finding my happiness
Somewhere the sky is crying - And somewhere they pray for rain
Somewhere luck is smiling - And somewhere dreams die in vain
An’ I wish that someday I’ll be somewhere with you
As I’m stuck in nowhere , lost without a clue

Mark on the World
04:12
|
|||
|
In these times of desperation
People fall into depression
And some take advantage
On other people’s dreams
They sell fake promises
To feed their needs
So much fake news
And fake information
They try to lead us
Into the wrong direction
But I just wanna leave
My mark on the world
Are you with me, am I alone?
Still gonna leave my mark on the world
I don’t care about what others say
I’m gonna find my own way
Gonna leave my own trail
Gonna try hard even if I fail
I wanna be remembered
As someone who lived for a cause
This puts me in a danger
And I pay the cost
What about dignity?
What about trust?
What about sanity?
Isn’t it time for truth to burst?
Cause I just wanna leave
My mark on the world
Are you with me, am I alone?
Still gonna leave my mark on the world

The Last Day
06:23
|
|||
|
Today I was born - Today I live and die
Through a journey of moments - In this short life
Through the childhood years - Of laughter and tears
To the teenage dreams and fears - Time like a shooting star it disappears
Tomorrow looks so uncertain so unknown
That I’m standing here today is all I need to know
If this is the last day, if this is the last day
I’m gonna live it my way
I’m gonna dream, gonna reach the stars
Gonna Climb the highest Rock, gonna sail the deepest sea
Gonna be the best I can be
Today we love, today we feel
Today we hurt, today we heal
We focus on things - that in the end don’t really matter
Cause it’s right then all we need is the hug of a loving mother
Your soul is complete with the ones you love the most
Cherish the moments with them before they get lost
If this is the last day, if this is the last day
I’m gonna live it my way
I’m gonna laugh , gonna dance
Gonna hold you in my arms
Enjoy the moment of you and me
We’re gonna make a memory
If this is the last day, if this is the last day
I’m gonna live it my way
I’m gonna dream, gonna reach the stars
Gonna Climb the highest Rock, gonna sail the deepest sea
Gonna be the best I can be
If this is the last day, if this is the last day
I’m gonna live it my way
I’m gonna feel the sun the wind
I’m gonna dance in the rain
An’if I ever have the chance
I’m gonna do it all again

A criminally underrated album of a criminally underrated and underexposed genre. The production values here are so authentically 1980s. A good balance of traditional hard rock, synths, and strong melodies, with a spooky yet nostalgic feel, with the songs carefully curated for a strong experience start to finish. For those lonely nights, stuck in your bedroom, reminiscing days gone by: listen to this.
