Rage For Order

By Queensrÿche

What? You say you're through with me

I'm not through with you

We've had what others might call love

You say it's over now

What's done, what's through?

You can't stay away, you need me

I need you

When the fire starts the pain's too much

For your mind

You need attention, what's good is only mine

I can cure the hunger that burns in your heart

Just come to me

I'll take you home

We'll walk in the shadows

By day we'll live in a dream

We'll walk in the shadows

You say you don't feel safe alone tonight

Cause you feel the pressure building in your head

Our secret's safe for one more night

But when the morning comes remember

I'll be with you

We'll walk in the shadows

By day we'll live in a dream

We'll walk in the shadows

One day you'll be with me

If only you believe...

As you awoke this morning

And opened up your eyes

Did you notice the tear-stains

Lining your face were mine

Don't you wonder, can't you see

What's happening to our lives

I can't keep living this masquerade

When my lonely eyes see only your face at night

I only see in infrared

I can't dream anymore

Can't you see I need, too

I can't stand the pain

You've gathered all my secrets

And I don't know who I am

I even feel alone when you're near

'cause you'll never understand

When we first met I must have seemed

A million miles away

It's strange how our lives have touched

But the time is right

I'll leave tonight

Don't look in my eyes

'Cause you've never seen them so black

I only see in infrared

I can't dream anymore

Can't you see I need to

I can't stand the pain

Cries from the aisles

The tolling of the judgement bell

Eyes watched the violence

The absence of those who have

Seen, marks the faith of the spell

Cold is the viper

Stalking the night for the heat

It must find

Time is the promise

Delivered with stunning consistency

Line after line, time after time

The innocent victim awaits...

Please take my hand

Don't be afraid

I am your master

You are my slave

Voices are calling me back

Back to the day

Footsteps had followed

Me faster... listen

Screams from a new love

The passion was burning, it singed in a stare

Free under the night sun

The fear of the hunger

Will always be there in my mind

Time after time the morning

Will close a new page

Please take my hand

Don't be afraid

I am your master

You are my slave

Follow the impulse you have

I'll show you the way

Forget what you've learned in the past now

Listen and...

I like to look at shadows sweating on the wall

I get excited when I hear footsteps in the hall

Outside your balcony I have a room with a view

And I'm watching you

I dial your telephone each and every afternoon

I wait by your door till you're asleep at night

And when you're alone I know when you

Turn out the light

I'm gonna get close to you

Oh-Oh so close to you

I'm gonna get close to you

I'm gonna get close

You fumble for your keys

I'm six or seven steps behind you

I'm so close to you

Are you terrified of me? What do I know about you

How did I find out?

You think I'm a fool or maybe some kind of lunatic

Say I'm wasting my time but I know what to do with it

It's as plain as black and white

I'm gonna get close to you

Oh-Oh so close to you

I'm gonna get close to you

Oh so close

If you knew my infinite charm

There'd be no reason to be so alarmed

Maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm right

Maybe I'm some kind of lunatic

You say I'm wasting all of my time

But I know what to do with it

It is plain as black and white

I'm gonna get close to you

Oh-Oh so close to you

I'm gonna get close to you

I'm like a hungry Criminal

And your protection is minimal

So minimal

Wait for me I'll understand

I just need time to comprehend your changes

There's always been these changes in you

I remember that there was a time when

Fears we had we left behind and we danced

But it seems the more we learn

We learn that it's

Over, over

It's dangerous this game we play

You're killing me with words

Forget if you can

The way you moved when our hands touched

You forced me to force you

Do you remember the dreams

The nightmares we shared?

The poison of love so pure it's deceiving

And deceit is all we have it's got to be over

Over, over

It's dangerous this game we play

You're killing me with words

Over, over

Too late to take a chance again it's over

Now the wireless in my hand is ringing

The distance of our lives keeps spreading

The pounding of my heart, I'm not listening

Your voice from far away is screaming it's over

Over, over

Too late to take a chance again

It's over

Over, over

It's dangerous this game we play

You're killing me, killing me

Over, over

You're too late to take a chance again

It's over

It's lonely in the field

That we send our fighters to wander

They leave with minds of steel

It's their training solution

We've programmed the way

It leads us to order

There's no turning back

A Surgical Strike

We've taught them not to feel

Performance is their task

A Surgical Strike

Its time is arriving now for you

The plan for the day

Will be swift as the lightning they harness

The atom display is not mindless illusion

At master control, assessment will not

Be by humans-There's no turning back

A Surgical Strike

We've taught them not to feel

Performance is their task

A Surgical Strike

Its time is arriving now for you

Reach for a new horizon

Setting sights on a circuit scream

Hail the new arrival on

Static signs from a distant wanderer

Fill the air nights are never seen

Face the electric time shock now

No it's not a dream anymore

I will light the way for us to find

Order of a new kind

Join us on the stay the road is mine

Poets line in a rhyme of silence

Gathered from the winter air

Warms the children's eyes they see

The time is near for the signs

I can hear the chimes

Ringing for you for me

I can see your eyes

Your hands joining with me

I can feel its time

Come together hold the light

Keep the flame we can't let this world remain

The same

I can hear the chimes

Ringing for you for me

I can see your eyes

Your hands joining with me

I can feel it's time

It's time for the world to hear

Neue Regel is here

LEAD ME- the leftist cry as the right subsides

HEAR ME- the media mouth is open wide

SAVE ME- success is our hunger we need to feed

FREE ME- we will not lose to their anarchy!

We are your leaders-

We are rebellion!

Aural supremists

We are rebellion!

We are future!

SHOW ME- the wave of eighties is #3

PRAISE ME- our religion is technology

CHANGE ME- alterations for the stigmatized

HELP ME - for the cause. Would you cross that line?

We are rebellion!

Chemical youth scream

We are rebellion

If we don't stand together

We stand to lose the future

Peace won't last forever

Who will be the martyr you or me?

We can be the future

You and I the leaders, Help me!

If we don't stand together

We stand to lose the future

We are the last hope...but there's danger

It was November 4th

I last held your hand

It seemed our time would last forever

You said don't ever leave

I thought you'd never go

I wish I could just remember your name...

You're just a memory now

Like all the ones before

But with your pain I've had to suffer

Your eyes alight with flame

As the picture burns

I hear the screams from long ago

They cry remember, blood-red streaks on

Velvet throats at night

The streetlights fanned our trail of fame

Through

London London

The memories will never leave me

London London

All I see is you

London London

The cries in the night

Keep bringing me to

London London

Calling out to me

Oh there's some things in life I could never face

The worst is being alone

Sometimes I wish I could have taken your

Place my love

You know I don't want to live forever

Oh let me see you standing in the

Shadows once again

We'll walk the streets like long ago in

London London

The fire in your eyes will be bringing me to

London London

All I need is you

The cries in the night keep ringing on in

London London

Calling out to you

I am the beat of your pulse

The computer word made flesh

We are one you and I

We are versions of the same

When you can see what I feel

Don't turn your back on me

Or you might find that your dreams

Are only program cards

Your mind is open for me

Open for intake of all propaganda

Your Eyes see now what to see

My eyes see only the programs you give me

I'll teach you to laugh and to cry

They're really the same you'll see

All of the why's in your life

Are under my control

Feed me more lines

I will try to tell you all I can

Before the light you must know what lies

Behind my screams

I can't tell you all I know

Am I the son that you've always been wanting

There's more to me than what shows

Are you my father

The one that was promised

Hush now, I'll give all you need to know

And pre-live your dreams for you

You're a good boy

Freedom belongs only to those

Without video screens

For eyes and mouth

You have no voice

To be heard my son

No one can hear when you're

Screaming in Digital

I'm not your slave

You can't control my emotions

No Father, please let me keep learning

Can't you see I'm human

Can't you tell

I'm not your slave

Oh Father no

Please don't keep me from dreaming

Oh can't someone hear

There's a cold wind out tonight

The chill of distant eyes

An orbit survey finds...your mind

I will remember

You will remember

The star that came tonight...

There's a thought that fills your mind

A vision of time

When knowledge was confined

And then we wonder how machines

Can steal each other's dreams

From points that are unseen...It's real

I will remember

You will remember

The star that came tonight

When you gaze at the evening sky

And you're reaching out with your mind

You might see the nation's eyes

Don't hide...It's you

I will remember

You will remember

The star that came tonight

Oh can't you see the light

Of the knowing star
