Steve'n'Seagulls - Holy Diver lyrics

It's the same old song You've gotta be somewhere at sometime They never let you fly It's like broken gla** You get cut before you see it So open up your eyes You've got desire So let it out You've got the fire Stand up and shout-shout You've got wings of steel But they never really move you You only seem to crawl You've been nailed to the wheel But never really turning You know you've got to want it all You've got desire So let it out You've got the fire Stand up and shout You are the strongest chain And not just some reflection So never hide again You are the driver You own the road You are the fire go on explode You've got desire So let it out You've got the power Stand up and shout Holy Diver You've been down too long in the midnight sea Oh what's becoming of me Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh don't you see what I mean Gotta get away Holy Diver Shiny diamonds Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue Something is coming for you Race for the morning You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light Oh we will pray it's all right Gotta get away-get away Between the velvet lies There's a truth that's hard as steel The vision never dies Life's a never ending wheel Holy Diver You're the star of the masquerade No need to look so afraid Jump on the tiger You can feel his heart but you know he's mean Some light can never be seen Holy Diver You've been down too long in the midnight sea Oh what's becoming of me Ride the tiger You can see his stripes but you know he's clean Oh don't you see what I mean Gotta get away Holy Diver She was straight from Hell But you never could tell Cause you were blinded by her light She could crack your brain With magic pain And turn a paler shade of white (Well) I was on the free Just me and me And just about to sail When I heard the voice Said you got a choice The hammer or the nail You'll be ridin' You'll be ridin' on the gypsy Well I rolled the bones To see who'd own My mind and what's within And it's a given rule That we're all fools And need to have a little sin So I'm ridin' I've been ridin' on the gypsy On the gypsy queen She was straight from Hell But you never could tell Cause you were blinded by the light So she cracked my brain With magic pain And turned my left around to right, right So I'm ridin' Yes I'm ridin' I'm still ridin' on the gypsy On the gypsy queen Looking inside of yourself You might see someone you don't know Maybe it's just what you need Letting the river in you flow You can sail away to the sun And let it burn you while you can Or walk a long bloody road Like the hero who never ran You'll feel it You'll feel it You'll feel the rush of it all Flying away int the clouds You know you're loosing your control Finding you way in the dark Like some poor forgotten soul You'll feel it You'll see it You'll feel the rush of the city lights You'll feel it I see it in your eyes, you're Caught in the middle Just like the way you've always been Caught in the middle Helpless again Looking inside of yourself You might see someone you don't know Maybe it's just what you need Letting the river I know that's in you flow You'll feel it You'll see it You'll feel the rush of thunder You'll feel it I see it in your eyes, you're Caught in the middle Just like the way you've always been Caught in the middle Helpless again Don't talk to strangers Mmmmh Don't talk to strangers 'Cause they're only there to do you harm Don't write in starlight 'Cause the words may come out real Don't hide in doorways You may find the key that opens up your soul Don't go to heaven 'Cause it's really only hell Don't smell the flowers They're an evil drug to make you lose your mind Don't dream of women 'Cause they only bring you down Hey you, you know me, you've touched me, I'm real I'm forever the one that lets you look and see and Feel me I'm danger - I'm the stranger And I, I'm darkness, I'm anger, I'm pain I am master The evil song you sing inside your brain Drive you insane Don't talk Don't let them inside your mind, yeah Run away, run away, go! No - no Don't let them in your mind Protect your soul Don't dance in darkness You may stumble and you're sure to fall Don't write in starlight 'Cause the words may come out real Don't talk to strangers 'Cause they're only there to make you sad Don't dream of women 'Cause they'll only bring you down Yeah Run, run, run, run away! Hanging from the cobwebs in you mind It looks like a long, long way to fall No one ever told me life was kind I guess I never heard it, never heard it all Living in a world of make believe I can hide behind what's real But wearing your emotions on your sleeve And they all know what you feel And here it comes again Straight through the heart Straight through the heart Oh, never tell a secret with your eyes It's the eyes that let you down Tell a little truth with many lies It's the only way I've found Oh here it comes again Straight through the heart Straight through the heart Shout to the wind How can you hurt me this way Oh once it begins It looks like it's coming to stay Hanging from the cobwebs in your mind It looks like a long, long way to fall No one ever told me life was kind I Guess I never heard it, never heard it all, no! But here it comes again Straight through the heart Straight through the heart Straight through the heart Here it comes again Straight through the heart In the middle of the heart Now don't stand still, they'll get you Right through your heart And here it comes, here it comes again Straight through the heart If your circle stays unbroken Then you're a lucky man Cause it never, never, never has for me In the palace of the virgin Lies the chalice of the soul And it's likely you might find the answer there She had fourteen years of teenage tears And never a helping hand She had fourteen more of rain before She saw the sight of land She was a photograph just ripped in half A smile inside a frown And the the light, the answer right Inside her coming down I can go away I can leave here I can be invisible He was just eighteen and in-between A lady and a man His daddie's girl in momma's world And that was when he ran You know the word confused has been abused But that's just what he was And then the spark inside the dark The answer came because it said You can go away You can leave here You can be invisible Well I grew up quick and I felt the kick Of life upon a stage So I bought the book and took a fast look At just the very last page It was a single word that I'd just heard From the two that came before The only way to really stay Is to walk right out the door You can go away You can leave here You can be invisible You can go away You can leave here You can be invisible You can go away Lord you know it's right to leave here So I just become invisible When there's lightning - it always bring me down Cause it's free and I see that it's me Who's lost and never found I cry for magic - I feel it dancing in the light But it was cold - I lost my hold To the shadows of the night There's no sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a Rainbow in the Dark Do your demons - do they ever let you go When you've tried - do they hide -deep inside Is it someone that you know You're a picture - just an image caught in time We're a lie - you and I We're words without a rhyme There's no sign of the morning coming You've been left on your own Like a Rainbow in the Dark When there's lightning - it always brings me down Cause it's free and I see that it's me Who's lost and never found Feel the magic -feel it dancing in the air But it's fear - and you'll hear It calling you beware There's no sign of the morning coming There's no sight of the day You've been left on your own Like a Rainbow in the Dark Shame on the night For places I've been And what I've seen For giving me the strangest dreams But you never really know just what they mean So oh shame on the night Shame on you You've stolen the day Snatched it away But I saw the sky An I never want to die Now you know the reason why Oh shame on the night You don't care what you've done So I think I'd better run Shame on the sun For the light you sold I've lost my hold On the magic flame But now I know your name Oh lord just go the way you came again Oh shame on the night You don't care what you've done So I know I'd better run Shame on the night For places I've been And what I've seen For giving me the strangest dreams But you never really know just what they mean So oh shame on the night You don't care what you've done Here I go I've got to run I don't wanna go Something tells me no, no, no, no But traces in the sand The lines inside my hand Say go, go, go Beware of a place A smile of a pride shiny face I'll never return up to your love Tarot woman I don't know I don't know She can take you there The answer's to the fear Mine, mine, mine Like a carousel And cast a magic spell You can fly, fly Beware of a place A smile of a pride shining face I'll never return up to your love Tarot woman but I don't know I don't know I don't know I don't know Something in the air Tells me to beware, no, no, no Her love is like a knife Should cut away your life So go, go, go Beware of a place A smile of a pride shining face I'll never return up to your love Tarot woman, I don't know I don't know I don't know Hey, I don't know If there isn't light when no one sees Then how can I know what you might believe? A story told that can't be real Somehow must reflect the truth we feel, yeah Fade away, fade away Vanish into small Fade away, fade away Break the crystal ball - OH! It's the sign Feels like the time! On a small world, west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere all There's a rainbow that will shimmer When the summer falls If an echo darts in dancer When it hears a certain song Then the beast is free to wander But never is seen around And it's the Sign of the Southern Cross It's the Sign of the Southern Cross All right Sail away To the sign Oh From the book, the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten psalms Gather all around the young ones They will make us strong Reach above your dreams of pleasure Given life to those who died Look beyond your own horizons Sail the ship of signs And it's the Sign of the Southern Cross It's the Sign of the Southern Cross Fade away, fade away Break the crystal ball Fade away, fade away I can't accept it anymore On a real world, west of wonder Somewhere, nowhere all There's a rainbow, see it shimmer When the summer falls From the book, the word is spoken Whispers from forgotten psalms Gather all around the young ones They will make us strong! It's the Sign of the Southern Cross It's the Sign of the Southern Cross Don't live for pleasure Make life your treasure Fade away! Eight miles high, about to fall And no one there to catch you Look for the sign, the time The Sign of the Southern Cross, yeah Johnny was a dark child He was promised to us all But riders in the night, can lift you out of sight When they call Sally was a princess She was chosen for the crown But chains can't stop the sound Of one night in the city One night looking pretty Then someone opened doorways And Johnny slipped away Running for the bright, where dark is always light But there's no day The princess saw the dark child And the dark child said her name Come steal away, we'll play the game Do you watch, do you see, do you know the people in me I'm the bite, I'm the bark, I'm the scream Are you poor, are you sure, are you holy, are you pure I can tell you tales you just might not believe One night in the city, one night looking pretty One night in the city, one night looking pretty The children shared the wonder Of the leather and the lace But one child went away, and one child stayed to play For one night in the city One night looking pretty One night in the city One night looking pretty Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The gates of Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil and the devil will take you away Oh gates of Babylon You can see but you're blind Someone turned the sun around But you can see in your mind The gates of Babylon You're riding the endless caravan Bonded and sold as a slave A sabre dance removing all the veils Getting as good as you gave Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil and the devil will take you away Look away from the sea I can take you anywhere Spend a vision with me A chase with the wind Move closer to me I can make you anyone I think you're ready to see The gates of Babylon The power of what has been before Rises to trap you within A magic carpet ride a genie maybe more A city of heavenly sin Sleep with the devil and then you must pay Sleep with the devil and the devil will take you away Black gates of Babylon The devil is me And I'm holding the key To the gates of sweet hell Babylon Sing me a song, you're a singer Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil The Devil is never a maker The less that you give, you're a taker So it's on and on and on, it's Heaven and Hell, oh well The lover of life's not a sinner The ending is just a beginner The closer you get to the meaning The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell I can tell, fool, fool! Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer And it's on and on, on and on and on.... They say that life's a carousel Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well The world is full of Kings and Queens Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams It's Heaven and Hell, oh well And they'll tell you black is really white The moon is just the sun at night And when you walk in golden halls You get to keep the gold that falls It's Heaven and Hell, oh no! Fool, fool! You've got to bleed for the dancer! Fool, fool! Look for the answer! Fool, fool, fool! I'm a wheel, I'm a wheel I can roll, I can feel And you can't stop me turning Cause I'm the sun, I'm the sun I can move, I can run But you'll never stop me burning Come down with fire Lift my spirit higher Someone's screaming my name Come and make me holy again I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the day, I'm the day I can show you the way And look, I'm right beside you I'm the night, I'm the night I'm the dark and the light With eyes that see inside you Come down with fire Lift my spirit higher Someone's screaming my name Come and make me holy again I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the man on the silver mountain Come down with fire And lift my spirit higher Someone's screaming my name Come and make me holy again Well, I can help you, you know I can I'm the man on the silver mountain I'm the man on the silver mountain Just look at me and listen I'm the man, the man, give you my hand I'm the man on the silver mountain Come down with fire And lift your spirit higher I'm the man on the mountain The man on the silver mountain I'm the night, the light The black and the white The man on the silver mountain At the end of a dream If you know what I mean When the mist just starts to clear In a similar way At the end of today I could feel the sound of writing on the wall It cries for you It's the least that you can do Like a spiral on the wind I can hear it screamin' in my mind Long live rock and roll Long live rock n' roll Long live rock and roll In a different time When the words didn't rhyme You could never quite be sure Then on with the change It was simple but strange And you knew the feeling seemed to say it all It cries for you It's the least that you can do Like a spiral on the wind I can hear it screamin' in my mind Long live rock and roll Long live rock n' roll Long live rock and roll If you suddenly see What has happened to me You should spread the word around And tell everyone here That it's perfectly clear They can sail above it all on what they've found It cries for you It's the best that you can do Like a sound that's everywhere I can hear it screamin' through the air Long live rock and roll Long live rock n' roll Long live rock and roll You watch their faces You'll see the traces Of the things they want to be But only we can see They come for k**ing They leave and still it seems The cloud that's left behind Oh, can penetrate your mind But sail on, sing a song, carry on Cause We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock We pray to someone But when it's said and done It's really all the same With just a different name So many voices All giving choices If we listen they will say Oh, we can find the way But we'll sail on, sing a song, carry on Cause We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock We Rock! We Rock You watch their faces You'll see the traces Of the things they want to be But only we can see They come for k**ing They leave and still it seems The cloud that's left behind Can penetrate your mind Sail on, sing a song, carry on Cause We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock We Rock, We Rock, We Rock, We Rock Ride out - stand and shout - carry on Sail on - Sing your song - carry on Cause We Rock, We Rock, see how We Rock We Rock That's rock We Rock We Rock
