Running Out of Time
Lyrics by E. Burgess & music by E. Burgess/ C, Pennell/ T,Merritt
You run me ragged
You worry me to death
Your games of heavy petting
Are games you play the best
Let´s push it to the limit
Let´s put it to the test
It´s time to put our love on the line
But there´s one thing you got to know
I can´t take much more
Oh! No!
Cause I´m running out of time
Out of time
Miss lonely Virgin Mary
Or is it just a fake
You robbed me blind of my love
And now it´s turned to hate
I see I lost at love
Seen the tables turn
You really don´t leave me any choice
But there´s one thing you got to know
I can´t take much more Oh! No!

Taking Your Chances
Lyrics & music by E. Burgess
Lately your life has not been what it seems
You´ve lost your drive for childhood dreams
But I know where you´re coming from
Cause I´ve been there before
It´s not easy looking up to your mentors
You´ve to hold on, get grip on your life
And you´ll score
We will never fade away
You´ve to believe what you say
The chances you don´t take
Could end your life one day
Taking your chances
Living day by day
You see it´s not a catastrophe yet
There´s still time to change your bet
You got to living while your still have time
You don´t want to be old and still asking why
You got to hold on, get a grip on your life tonight
Don´t listen to the crowd cause they don´t know
They pull and pressure until you go
You can´t conform to their ways
You gotta leave and just break away
Leave them behind or you´ll be the one to pay

Distant Eyes
Lyrics & music by E. Burgess
I´ve been around for a long, long time
I´ve seen your face and I´ve seen your kind
With the way that you walk I know what you want
You use your love for a deadly taunt
No matter how hard I try
There´s nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
It gets harder every day
I pray and pray, but there´s no escaping
your
Distant eyes
Mental anguish in my mind
Distant eyes
Always following me
There´s no escaping
Your distant eyes
I leave the city and go for ride
To try and forget your bodily bribes
But I cannot come back to you
Your distant eyes make my nightmares come true
Everywhere I turn
Around every corner, around every curve
There´s still the same feeling
I will never recover from Your
Distant eyes
Mental anguish in my mind
Distant eyes
Always following me
There´s no escaping
Your distant eyes

Too Late to Pray
Lyrics & music by E. Burgess
You´re feeling weaker and begin to sweat
You´ve forgotten the horror
But it´s not over yet
You´ve forgotten the sins of your former past life
And now your are done in by the slice of a knife
You cry out, like a helpless child
Rest your eyes but just for awhile
Prepare yourself for you are unknown
To the many ones who hear your groan
´Cause it´s too late to pray
It´s your turn to pay
Now you’re the prey
In this infinite matinee
It´s all coming back so fast so clear
Ending your life with death by fear
It seems as though you can´t recall
Your final plea or your beckoning call

Rock the House Down
Lyrics & music by E. Burgess
You work all week for your pay
With a boss that treats you like a slave
Now it´s your time to scream and shout
You´re ready to rock without any doubt
Pull out all of the stops
You are away from the eyes of moms and pops
Stand your ground,, you have a right to roar
Let all your frustrations out
And now - You rock the house down
You rock it down
You rock the house down
You rock it down
The teacher says you must learn that and this
And if you don´t you´ll feel the crack of a whip
Hey you with the long hair you´re stereotyped
You´re a hippie, a junkie, you´re just not right

Catch Me if You Can

Catch Me If You Can
Catch me if you think you can
I know I´m fading fast
This blissful life I´m living now
I know will never last
I´m laying on my death bed
Here waiting to go home
So catch me if you think you can
My soul is starting to roam
My spirit floats away
My body´s here to stay
This feeling can´t be right
Never ending light
Some people mourn my death
Others laugh instead
I will not be condemned
Someone´s got to: Catch me if you can
Catch me if you can
They lower me to my grave
Still dark in my eyes
I say my final prayer
Devil´s all in disguise
Tomorrow, they will never think about me again
Until they come into the night and take me to my end
They´re on their knees
Begging please, don´t take me away
It´s ending in another day
They´re full of sorrow
Faces aghast with horror
Their bodies feel the pain
They scream!
Please, catch me if you can
Catch me if you can

Longing for Home
Lyrics by S. Board & music by E. Burgess
Longing for home in the darkness
Longing for home in the light
I´m so far away from the feeling
The feeling that touches you right
Let the people all come together
Let the feeling pass into their hearts
And I can´t stand the pain of your love
Far away and now I´m beginning to start!
I´m longing for home
Longing for home
Want to feel a crime of passion
I need to feel a crime of pain
Put the light in my eyes
Away from the night
Out of the cold and the rain
Give me something that I can dream on
Something that won´t fade away
Let me play the charade the wiser men made
The feeling it just remains

She Burns

She Burns
Mystic and mysterious
She comes to you in the night
Forged with an image of a candle burning bright
With a long satin gown and eyes of fire
Get you in her sight she'll take you higher and higher
The instant that you hear her laugh you’ll have no choice
You can’t escape her spell
You’ve gotta get out you can’t go
She Burns…she burns
Now’s she's got you in her power
Your final hour is here
No time to waste
Your mind is full of fear
This will be your final end
To a never ending curse
You know it's just beginning
Prepare yourself for the worst
You are her victim but only for tonight
Your soul begins to glow into the darkness of the night
She Burns…she burns

Easy Money

Easy Money
She walks slowly down the avenue
Looking for her next customer
She don’t care she’s got it made
Layin’ on her back to get the bills paid
And she knows that in a couple of years
She’ll be able to kiss this goodbye
Until then she keeps on walking
And the tears they fill her eyes
In her mind she’s not doin’ wrong
It’s the same old story
The same old song
Only way to get what she wants
She’s the best qualified
With a body that flaunts
(Chorus)
Easy Money
A trick of the hand
A one night stand
Easy Money
It’s only easy money to you
She gives you a price written down in ink
It’s kept very secret and very discreet
And then she says your place or mine?
To a sleazy motel or to dinner with wine
And she knows how to treat the men right
She be a hooker, your sister or your wife
It’s all no difference to her
It’s nothing personal and she calls you sir
(Repeat Chorus)

Stay in the Game

Stay in the Fight
Scared of their evil ways
Careless their path
Don’t fall for anything
They want you to fall
Victim to their trap
Were ruining our world they say
But they don’t know
They’re fueling the fire
That makes us grow and grow
Can’t leave us alone
Why can’t they see our point of view?
It is time we stood up til’ the day
Lifting our cause, we’ve got to!
(Chorus)
Stay in the Fight
Keep the fire burning tonight
Stay in the Fight
Only we know
If we are wrong or right
Every time we turn around
We’re being blamed again
Trouble is brewing
We’ve got our freedom to defend
They want it to stop, silence forever
Staying dead and buried in the past
They can’t take it away
It’s ours forever
Why can’t they see?
Just leave us alone
Let us sing our songs
It will never be
(Repeat Chorus)
After we're dead and gone
What will they have accomplished?
Sometimes you have belief
Know the wheels they are still turning
It’s up to us to pave the way
There’s no alternatives
We got to fight today, today!
Stand believe
We can’t turn our heads and walk away
We’ve got to stand together
No matter the nasty weather
We’ve got to, we’ve got to
(Repeat Chorus)

All Night Long
Goin’ out on the town tonight
Get myself feelin’ right
Lookin’ for a virgin queen
And I’ve got her in my sight.
I look her up, she looks me down
She looks good with her hair so brown
She gives me a wink and a nod
And away we leave from the crowd
She gets me alone in her room
And away we start to go
Right before I made my move
She said to me
There’s one thing you’ve got to know
(Chorus)
You’ve got to take me
Roll me, rock me all-night
Take me, roll me, rock me
Roll me, rock me all-night
Roll me, rock me all-night long
I said fine I’ll play your game
But tomorrow I won’t remember your name
Let’s get it straight right now
Do you feel the same?
She said you’re a one night stand
I’m lookin’ for a lifetime romance
Want someone to have and to hold
To have our marriage planned
Then I headed for the door
The she said let’s talk some more
And before I knew what hit me
She had me down on the floor
(Repeat Chorus)
Then I headed for the door
The she said let’s talk some more
And before I knew what hit me
She had me down on the floor
We were on the floor
(Repeat Chorus)

Like A Banshee on the Loose
In the dark of the night
On a cold dark street
You and him you shall meet
It will be unexpected
You’ll be unprotected
From the power that he will release
You don’t know why he’s come after you
It don’t matter 'cause you’re bound to lose
You’ve forgotten your filthy past
Your existing life will never last
(Chorus)
Like a banshee on the loose
Choosing any life he'll choose
Like a banshee on the loose
And tonight it was you!
He walks among the dead
Their eternal life he'll dread
Now it’s time for you to go
The hand of fate is never slow
He is the reaper
The hand of fate of death
You’re lost souls keeper
Mistaking you’re the best
You are not fit for hell
And you deserve the worst
You’ll find the pages
Are a thousand times overturned
He laughs as you die
A gleam in his eye
Soldier at his best he’s never satisfied
He laughs for days, as your fading into black
He takes your soul away it your turn to pay
(Repeat Chorus)

Fight the Beast
We were warned of its coming
But realized too late
Was this a strange prophecy?
Or just a bad twist of fate?
(Bridge)
Now it’s too late
To stop and turn back now
Nothings at stake
Nothing left to do
(Chorus)
Fight the beast fight the beast
Make him bleed to say the least
Fight the beast fight the beast
Make him wish he’s dead!
Fight the beast fight the beast
Burn his soul for our feast
Fight the beast fight the beast
Make him wish he’s dead.
That day will come
When his life is finally paid
For all the innocent people
For all those we saved
Sending an image now
One never to forget
Seven years of bad luck
From a promise you’ll pay the debt
(Repeat Bridge & Chorus)
