I’m not afraid of flying blind It’s a long stretch of road I know Lights up ahead are flashing And it’s too late to turn back now Don’t want to lose it all No I don’t want to lose it all Twisting and turning the inside out I know that it’s time Hey you, I won’t stop believing Hey you, not gonna fall for a crash and burn Can’t contemplate when my hands are tied It’s like rowing across the sand Signs up ahead are slowing And I don’t even give a damn Don’t want to lose it all No I don’t want to lose it all Twisting and turning the inside out I know we’ve crossed the line When I crawl out, people stand up and shout Let’s go, just go… I’m right behind you Hey you, I won’t stop believing Hey you, not gonna fall for a crash and burn Crash and burn And burn

Forever 05:24
Sign up and shout at the enemy This looking glass is not reality Could it be it’s something we conspired I believe we’re the only ones who cry and sleep forever This current state is an atrocity Whatever happened to diplomacy Is it something that can be undone Watch close as it slowly starts to fade away We’ve come this far, now we’re the end of the line Tonight we ride Now I get a familiar feeling, now I get a familiar feeling Another chance to survive The tyrant brings the war and we’ll survive the tyranny It’s the thing I’m counting on the most Watch close as it slowly starts to fade away, fade away I can see they’re the only ones who cry and sleep forever We’re not allowed to fall again, we’re not allowed to love We’re not allowed to say the things, the things we’re dreaming of We’ve come this far, now we’re the end of the line Tonight we rise Now I get a familiar feeling, now I get a familiar feeling Another chance to survive We’re not allowed to love again We’re not allowed to fall again

Mystified 03:45
Fear locks me away Every time I get near, always brings me back When I reach my High it always gets me by When I soar above the clouds, I’m mystified Wheels, spinning round Always shaking always leave the ground When I get to high I look into my mind When I get to low I’m paralyzed All by myself Through the cold darken ruins I’ll walk and rise again All by myself Changes to cold Changes to bold Hold on so tight when the wind comes and takes me away Wash me away Rain pours down on me Same sign appears Spinning and turning, always grinding gears When I say goodbye I look into my mind When I get to low I’m paralyzed Mystified wheels keep turning, paranoid cities burning When I reach my high I always will get by When I soar above the clouds, I’m mystified Seasons too cold changes to old Hold on so tight while the waves come and wash me Wash me away Rain falls down on me

We see the edge Floating down Empty space Empty space Have we gone through time Facing fears with lonely masks Start to unwind Start to unwind Sail on To a world we're not from We'll find another way To make it happen Can we reach the stars And find out who we are And find another way to heaven This world's not worth understanding This pain is never ending I've seen it all before How's it so complicated Boring and overrated Hold on Hold on Then sail on To a world we're not from We'll find another way To make it happen Can we reach the stars And find out who we are And find another way to heaven Move on Move on And hold the line Hold the line Manic moments Brace to fall Evil monsters inside us all Looking to get out Mind ablaze With frantic thoughts Too afraid to let it out Too afraid to let it go Hold on And sail on to a world We're not from And find another way to heaven Sail on to a world We're not from And find another way to make it heaven Can we reach the stars And find out who we are And find another way Find another way to heaven Into this world I brought a terrible magic Born of fear He opens my eyes With a terrible cry Some laugh Some cry I remain silent now I have become death The destroyer of worlds In the radiance of a thousand suns Burst in the sky Revealing the splendor Of the mighty one

Narcissus 05:01
The caustic blast, death embraced I look upon the fields laid waste A wry smile from deep inside Just one word I can stop the tide Tyrant murderer Abide me Jester’s Fools Obey me My blind legion led to crusade Strike my foes with a slack blade No kill is clean relish the torment Sadistic monster I ravage dissent Hold steadfast Follow me Diminish yourself Worship me I am beautiful I am perfect You are nothing The world is mine You will praise me You will love me I am Narcissus Hang on my words or be cut down Obedience given social breakdown Freedom earned in blood is vanquished Willing enslavement, readily slaughtered Malevolent god Adore me Mindless warriors Defend me I am beautiful I am perfect You are nothing The world is mine You will praise me You will love me I am Narcissus I have no shame I can’t be wrong You alone deny the song You are dim if you don’t agree Even god wished he were me You will praise me You will love me I am Narcissus

I wrote this song so you can hate it In your mind you’re overrated Haunted by a past you can’t deny Blinded by the stars in your eyes HEY No one hates you, no ones mad Your desperation is just so sad Haunted by a past you can’t deny Blinded by the stars in your eyes See the trail of souls you’ve left behind Frozen fears of past still haunt you Blinded by the stars in your eyes Passive aggressive to the end Imaginations in your head Haunted by a past you can’t deny Blinded by the stars in your eyes See the trail of souls you’ve left behind Blinded by the stars in your eyes HEY See the trail of souls you’ve left behind Frozen fears of past still haunt you Blinded by the stars in your eyes

What you say, I don’t hear Heard it too many times over again Don’t know when, you’ll believe What your saying doesn’t make any sense Blue eyes, red skies, something over my head I can’t stop thinking it’s not enough I won’t stop saying Starting all over again Run away, live in fear Only fools will stay around for the show Don’t know why you can’t see It’s the strangest show you’ll never know True lies, neck ties| It’s all come to an end I can’t stop thinking it’s not enough I won’t stop saying It started all over again In your dreams you’ll find who you are Listen, from afar, as you fall you’re free I can’t stop thinking it’s not enough I won’t stop saying It started all over again

Long ago in days untold Were ruled by Lords of greed Maidens fared with gold They dared to bare their wombs that bleed Kings and queens and guillotines Taking lives denied Starch and parchments laid the laws When bishops took the ride Only to deceive Oh I know I lived this life before Somehow know now truths I must be sure Tossin turnin' nightmares burnin' dreams of swords in hand Sailin' ships the Viking spits the blood of father's land Only to deceive Living times of knights and mares Raising swords for maidens fair Sneer at death fear only loss of pride Living other centuries Deja vu or what you please Follows true to all who do or die Screams of no reply they died Screams of no reply and they died Lordy lordy and then then they died Lordy no then they died Died Live and do or die (Long ago were days I told... Lord they died) (Kings and queens and guillotines...) And they died Live and no reply For they died Screams of no reply For they died (Long ago were days I told...) (Kings and queens and guillotines...) Lordy, Lordy, they died Songwriters: Steven Tyler, Tom Hamilton, Brad Whitford, Jack Douglas, Joseph Kramer.
