On Its Way 04:41
Listen up, and you'll learn from me The price is high, but you can steal it for free I'll make it clear: the power's inside Reach down deep and you can jump for the sky So come on, let's go for a ride No holding back, so just swallow your pride Don't get caught in a loop of dreams Ignoring what it is for what it seems Because the future is on its way Live for the past and you're wasting today The future is on its way Miss tonight and you're wasting away Because the future is on its way Live for the past and you're wasting today The future is on its way Miss tonight and you're wasting away I've done my time, I've paid my years With guilty heartache and useless tears By my own hand I tightened the noose Woke up and I had to break loose No regrets, no apologies You can't walk tall when you're on your knees So stand up! The power is you Facing front is what you've gotta do (chorus) Escape temptation to live in the past The guilder memories will never last A loss of passion is the price you'll pay Because the future is on its way! (chorus)

Look Out 03:09
Iron fist in a velvet glove Softest touch, but a hardcore love She will get you all alone Wrap you up in her heart of stone She will make the torment strong It will go on far too long Seems so right, but she can see The trap she's laid leaves no place to flee Look out! She's comin' for you Look out! What will you do? Look out! It's like a frontal attack But you better watch your back Innocent and sweet she seems Watch out for her wicked schemes Lays her web just like a snare Lures you in with her seductive stare Prison cell from her own mind Dripping lips will steal you blind Jail bars built by her hot lust Watch yourself, you'll bite the dust (chorus) Mental anguish, a tortured mind Twisted web that she's designed Lures you in with her seductive charms And with a smile that so disarms (chorus)

Raging about in the dark of the night A hole inside feels like a black abyss Looking for something to make it right What am I lacking, what did I miss? Perhaps the truth eludes me Perhaps I got it wrong Gave in to my weakness When the answer is so strong Looking on the outside Nothing seems to fit Looking on the inside That's the place for it Can't find satisfaction Unless it's from within Any other pleasure Is just a holy sin Unleash the beast! Depth of the torment that's locked inside Devours me, I'm its unholy beast I will break free when I temper my pride Demons in me must be released Now's the time to face it Untangle my own lie If I don't unleash this beast I will slowly die (chorus)

Fists raised high, the power's within Middle age mettle ain't a sin… Party animal back in the day Wild times and crazy women Metalhead all along the way Intoxicated, head just swimmin' Spent my days living hit-or-miss Middle finger up at life Almost dyin' from the craziness Insanity created strife But if you lived and you don't know why Don't let that rebel spirit die Fists raised high, the power's within Middle age mettle ain't a sing Rebel spirit can make a way Let it loose for a brand new day Fists raised high, the power's within Middle age mettle ain't a sin Rebel spirit can make a way Let it loose for a brand new day A rebel spirit for a brand new day! Workin' hard now, payin' the bills This daily grind won't take its toll Fightin' back at the life that kills 9-to-5 won't steal my soul Never quit knowing how to rock I got the loud drums and guitar Livin' large while I watch the clock No handicaps, I'm a superstar So now you lived, and you know why To let your rebel spirit fly (chorus) Self-destruction ain't my style I'll be a rebel with a cause Stay a mettle-head all the while Better now than I ever was! (chorus)
