Eyes Of A Stranger

written by Geoff Tate & Chris DeGarmo

All alone now except for the memories,
Of what we had and what we knew,
Everytime I try to leave it behind me,
I see something that reminds me of you.

Every night the dreams return to haunt me,
Your Rosary wrapped around your throat,
I lay awake and sweat the fate to fall asleep,
I see your face looking back at me,
Looking back at me?

And I raise my head and stare,
Into the eyes of a stranger,
I've always known that the mirror never lies,
People always starred away,
From the eyes of a stranger,
Afraid to know what lays behind myself.

Is this all that's left of my life before me?
Straight-Jacket memories set for devise,
No happy ending like they always promised,
There's got to be something left for me.

And I raise my head and stare,
Into the eyes of a stranger,
I've always known that the mirror never lies,
People always starred away,
From the eyes of a stranger,
Afraid to know what lays behind myself.

How many times must I live this tragedy?
How many more lies will Fate tell me?
All I want is the same as everyone:
Why am I here and for how long?

And I raise my head and stare,
Into the eyes of a stranger,
I've always known that the mirror never lies,
People always starred away,
From the eyes of a stranger,
Afraid to know what lays behind myself.

Interstate Love Song

Waiting on a Sunday Afternoon,
For what I read between the lines,
The lies.

Feeling like a hand in rusted chains,
So do you laugh at those who cry?
Reply!

Leaving on a Southern Train,
Only yesterday you lied,
Promises for what all seem to be,
Only watch the time go by,
All of these things you said to me.

Breathing is the hardest thing to do,
With all I eyes settled on the stereo,
You lied!
Goodbye!

Leaving on a Southern Train,
Only yesterday you lied,
Promises from what all seem to be,
Only watch the tide go by,
All of these things I say to you.

Inner Light Spectrum

written by SA Martinez & Chad Sexton

While I Shadow Box inside my skull,
Bothered my the senselessness,
I wish for a Messiah,
Indian Woman,
Babylon.

There is one thing I will say,
Is that we are living,
Let it flow cause it won't stop.

Let the conscienceness come unto you,
You will know cause it won't stop.

When I wipe the sleep from my eyes,
Will my finest dream please come true?
Crush my heart with a hammer,
And make a purer one,
Babylon.

There is one thing I will say,
Is that we are living,
Let it flow cause it won't stop.

Let the conscienceness come unto you,
You will know cause it won't stop.

But mean people as they choke on it gagging all the way,
You will remember the texture for days,
As you get use to the feeling of your Pride,
Of your Pride...
Of your Pride...

Chug-a-lugging,
Chug-a-lugging time after time,
Time after time...
Time after time...

Learn your lesson?
Learn your lesson till you find,
Till you find...
Till you find...

Leave In Silence

written by Martin Gore

I've told myself so many times before,
But this time I think I mean it for sure,
We have reached a full stop,
Nothing's gonna save us from the Big Drop.

I've reached that natural conclusion,
And with the illusion,
I hate being in these situations,
That call for Diplomatic Relations.

If I only knew the answer,
Or I thought we had a chance,
Or I could stop this,
I would stop this thing from spreading like a Cancer.

What can I say?
I don't wanna play anymore,
What can I say?
I'm heading for the door,
I can't stand this emotional voilence.

Leave in silence,
Leave in silence.

We've been running round in cirlces all year,
Doing this and that and getting nowhere,
This will be the last time,
I think I said that last time.

If I only had a potion,
Or some magical lotion,
I would stop this,
I could stop this,
I would set the wheel's in motion.

What can I say?
I don't wanna play anymore,
What can I say?
I'm heading for the door,
I can't stand this emotional violence.

Leave in silence,
Leave in silence,
Leave in silence,
Leave in silence.

People Are People

written by Martin Gore

People are people so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awefully.

People are people so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awefully.

So in different colors,
And in different creeds,
Different people have,
Different needs.

It's obvious you hate me,
Though I've done nothing wrong,
I've never even met you,
So what could I have done.

I can't understand,
What makes a Man,
Hate another Man,
Help me understand!

People are people so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awefully.

People are people so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awefully.

Help me understand!
Help me understand!

Now you're punching,
And you're kicking,
And you're shouting at me,
I'm relying on your Common Descency.

So far it hasn't surfaced,
But I'm sure it exists,
It just takes awhile to travel,
From your head to your fist.

I can't understand,
What makes a Man,
Hate another Man,
Help me understand!

People are people so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awefully.

People are people so why should it be?
You and I should get along so awefully.

I can't understand,
What makes a Man,
Hate another Man,
Help me understand!

I can't understand,
What makes a Man,
Hate another Man,
Help me understand!

I can't understand,
What makes a Man,
Hate another Man,
Help me understand!

I can't understand,
People are people,
What makes a Man,
Why should it be?
Hate another Man,
Help me understand!

I can't understand,
People are people,
What makes a Man,
Why should it be?
Hate another Man,
Help me understand!

I can't understand,
People are people,
What makes a Man,
Why should it be?
Hate another Man,
Help me understand!

Choices always were a problem for you,
What you need is someone strong to guide you.

Deaf and blind and dumb,
And born to follow,
What you need is someone strong to guide you.

Like me,
Like me,
Like me,
Like me.

If you want to get your Soul to Heaven,
Trust in me now don't you judge or question,
You are broken down,
My Faith can heal you,
Just do everything I tell you to do.

Deaf and blind and dumb,
And born to follow,
What you need is someone strong to guide you.

Deaf and blind and dumb,
And born to follow,
Let me lay my Holy hands upon you.

Let God's Will become me,
When He speaks,
He speaks through me.
He has needs like I do,
We both want to rape you.

Jesus Christ why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eyes,
Blind me with your lies now.

Jesus Christ why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eyes,
Blind me with your lies now.

If you want to get your Soul to Heaven,
Trust in me now don't you judge or question,
You are broken down,
My Faith can heal you,
Just do everything I tell you to do.

Jesus Christ why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eyes,
Blind me with your lies now.

Jesus Christ why don't you come save my life now?
Open my eyes,
Blind me with your lies now.

And born to follow,
Let me lay my Holy hands upon you!

When He speaks,
He speaks through me,
He has needs like I do,
We both want to rape you!
