Lyrics for “When Darkness Calls”


‘When Darkness Calls’
(Music: Holland/Rossi; Lyrics: Hall)
(Guitar Solos: Bryan, Harmony, Pete)
Deep within the shadows, where the torment likes to hide / A fountainhead of agony that never will subside / Always, it needles, a constant source of strain / A fire that rages and cannot be contained / You wish for one moment of peace / The sun won’t reach behind these walls / No one is safe when darkness calls / Losing strength as your spirit falls / Cling tight to the light when darkness calls / Inaudible to others, yet it’s howling in your ear / Sometimes the murmur is so strong it’s all that you can hear / Tired and desperate, feeling so unsure / Your grip is slipping, but you can endure / Hold on with the last of your might / The sun won’t reach behind these walls / No one is safe when darkness calls / Losing strength as your spirit falls / Cling tight to the light when darkness calls

‘Bleed For Me’
(Music: Holland; Lyrics: Hall)
(Guitar Solo: Pete)
Arise my sweet, your master is about to speak / You say you want to be my slave/ But you are so naive / ’cause I will force you to behave / You’ll be mine ever after / Tell me are you sure? / Will you fall, will you fight / Tell me I am always right? / I am all you need / Will you scream, will you crawl / Get down and beg for more? / Will you bleed, bleed for me? / Beware my pet of what it is that you request / You’re getting to the danger zone/ My bad side is well known/ And it will cut you to the bone / You’ll be mine ever after / Tell me are you sure? / Will you fall, will you fight/ Tell me I am always right? / I am all you need / Will you scream, will you crawl / Get down and beg for more? / Will you bleed, bleed for me?

‘Phantom Road’
(Music: Dirk Kloiber; Lyrics: Hall)

(Guitar Solos: Bryan, Outro-Bryan)
The constant nagging is pounding on my brain / Filling up my thoughts and driving me insane / Visions so clear, but no choice of left or right / Just like a thief, they vanish in the night / Phantom road, I can hear the siren’s cry / Phantom road, seems so real but it’s just a lie / Desire so great and a lack of self-control / Sealing my fate, I’m buried in a hole / Playing out what ifs and preying on my mind / Fleeting images are all that I can find / Phantom road, I can hear the siren’s cry / Phantom road, seems so real but it’s just a lie / There’s only blackness is my periphery / Look away from was and on to what will be / Ignore the sirens call that’s ringing in my ear / Shift my gaze so new options will appear / Phantom road, I can hear the siren’s cry / Phantom road, seems so real but it’s just a lie

‘Devil In Disguise’
(Music: Holland; Lyrics: Hall)

(Guitar Solos: Intro-Pete, Bryan, Pete, Harmony)
In a moment of weakness / when anyone is making their last stand / You’re ready to provide assistance / It’s all part of your plan / You’re just lying in wait / For the moment to strike / You want it all / You are so cunning / It took some time / Time for me to realize / When someone needs a friendly face / A kind soul ready to save the day / You’re there drawing them closer / Like a month is drawn into the flame / You’re just lying in wait / For the moment to strike / You want it all / You are so cunning / It took some time / Time for me to realize / Behind the kind words / And cheerful smile / You are the devil in disguise / You’re just lying in wait / For the moment to strike / You want it all / That’s right, you want it all / ’cause you’re the devil / The devil in disguise / You are so cunning / It took some time / Time for me to realize / Behind the kind words / And cheerful smile / You are the devil in disguise

‘Too Late’
(Music: Holland; Lyrics: Hall)

(Guitar Solo: Pete)
So many restless nights, suffocating in regret / You keep on asking how was I to know? / It’s so hard not to wonder about what could have been / But it’s impossible to go down that road / Can’t take it, can’t change it / You’re past the point if no return / Struggle as you might to relive it / Nothing removes the weight / The moment is already gone / You want it back, but you know / You know it’s too late / Your mind is oh so stuck, how did it go so wrong? / You can’t believe the chance is here and gone / Stop eating out your heart and just get over it / It’s time to gather up the pieces and move on / Can’t take it, can’t change it / You’re past the point if no return / Struggle as you might to relive it / Nothing removes the weight / The moment is already gone / You want it back, but you know / You know it’s too late / Stop eating out your heart and just get over it / It’s time to gather up the pieces and move on / Can’t take it, can’t change it / You’re past the point if no return / Struggle as you might to relive it / Nothing removes the weight / The moment is already gone / You want it back, but you know / You know it’s too late / It’s too late

‘Gatekeeper’
(Music: Holland; Lyrics: Hall)

(Guitar Solo: Bryan)
The choice is always there, just take it / But somehow I’m always to blame / It seems so pointless to explain it / Attempts at reason bring more of the same / It’s so much easier to claim that you have no control / Gatekeeper, I don’t hold the keys to your state of mind / Gatekeeper, don’t try to lay it all on me / Gatekeeper, make me your whipping boy of you feel so inclined / Gatekeeper, just don’t expect my sympathy / Walking on egg shells, don’t break it / One little crack will trash the day / There’s a switch in your mind, just flip it / Why live your life in misery? / It’s so much easier to claim that you have no control / Gatekeeper, I don’t hold the keys to your state of mind / Gatekeeper, don’t try to lay it all on me / Gatekeeper, make me your whipping boy of you feel so inclined / Gatekeeper, just don’t expect my sympathy

‘The Price You Pay’
(Music: Holland/Rossi; Lyrics: Hall)

(Guitar Solos: Harmony, Pete, Bryan)
You want it so much you can taste it / Don’t hesitate and waste it / Desire is too much to hide / Every action has reaction / You’re setting it in motion / Soon you’ll see the other side / The thrill, the catch, it fills your brain / You crave the ecstasy / As it swells your mind and sets you free / Chase it down, until it comes your way / The hidden pain of the unforeseen / Is the price that you pay / You picture yourself getting stronger / Can’t take it any longer / Narrow-minded thoughts fill your head / Disregard the thoughts of others / As if you’re wearing blinders / Soon enough you’ll make your bed / The thrill, the catch, it fills your brain / You crave the ecstasy / As it swells your mind and sets you free / Chase it down, until it comes your way / The hidden pain of the unforeseen / Is the price that you pay

‘Monster’
(Music: Holland; Lyrics: Hall)

(Guitar Solo: Bryan)
My demeanor speaks of self control / Appealing to a false sense that all is right / But lurking within the depths of my soul / Lies a demon carefully hidden from sight / When circumstances get the best of me / That’s when you’ll see the worst of me / It’s easy to be fooled by my casual air / Like the sea there is a calm before the storm / Then without warning as you stop and stare / You’ll see how quickly and completely I transform / When circumstances get the best of me / That’s when you’ll see the worst of me / Look out here comes the monster / Welling up from down below / Look out here comes the monster / Spreading misery and woe

‘Revolution Rising’
(Music: Holland/Rossi; Lyrics: Hall)

(Guitar Solos: Bryan, Harmony, Pete)
You see the future, remember the past / It’s not the first time, won’t be the last / The dividing line is so obscure and it’s fading fast / History repeats itself in most unfortunate ways / From the beginning of time until the end of days / Sometimes the masses need to take control / Shift the balance back the other way / There’s a revolution, revolution rising / There’s a revolution, revolution rising / Bow down in reverence, bow down in fear / They don’t care as long as you adhere / Feigning compassion with teary eyes, they look so sincere / Lining all their pockets with proceeds from favors sold / Placating the people so they’re easily controlled / No one ever wants to see bloodshed / But the peaceful path has long since gone ice cold / There’s a revolution, revolution rising / There’s a revolution, revolution rising / History repeats itself in most unfortunate ways / From the beginning of time until the end of days / Sometimes the masses need to take control / Shift the balance back the other way / There’s a revolution, revolution rising / There’s a revolution, revolution rising

‘After The Leaves Have Fallen’
(Music: Holland/Rossi; Lyrics: Hall)

(Guitar Solo: Pete)
After the leaves have fallen / When there is no more green / After the leaves have fallen / Will you remember me? / We had so many dreams in our younger days / But somehow our ambitions got in the way, in the way / After the leaves have fallen / And wind whips through bare trees / After the leaves have fallen, will you remember me? / We wanted to do things different from our fathers / But all we ended up with was more of the same / Leaving behind footprints that last 10,000 years / When I look in your eyes I feel so ashamed, so ashamed / After the leaves have fallen, and winter brings it freeze / After the leaves have fallen, what will you think of me?

‘Vengeance Is Mine’
(Music: Holland; Lyrics: Hall)

(Guitar Solo: Bryan)
Thinking, don’t understand why you’ve brought this curse on me / Writhing, within the endless spirals of tormented pain / Searching, corners of my mind for a remedy / Craving, the peace of mind from venting my disdain / Let the raging winds hammer me / They add strength to my resolve / Tick, tick, the clock is ticking / It’s a matter of time / Tick, tick, the clock is ticking / Won’t you be surprised? / Seething, I feed off the battle raging in my head / Plotting, the slow and certain path to your sad demise / Waiting, for the perfect moment to exact my revenge / Smiling, awareness of your fate creeps into your eyes / Taste the bitter fruit you have made / Consider it a lesson learned / Tick, tick, the clock is ticking / It’s a matter of time / Tick, tick, the clock is ticking / Won’t you be surprised? / You have maligned me and I won’t forget / You might think the worst has come but I haven’t even started yet / Taste the bitter fruit you have made / Consider it a lesson learned / Tick, tick, the clock is ticking / It’s a matter of time / Tick, tick, the clock is ticking / You look so surprised / Tick, tick, the clock is ticking / It’s a matter of time / Tick, tick, the clock is ticking / Vengeance if mine /
