Desperate Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan You were once the picture Of perfect cool With a calculated smile But you played the world For one big fool Now you're losing all your style Cracking your whip, but no one hears you Tighten your grip, but no one fears you Shot down, and you lost your power How will you face, the desperate hour You're desperate I think you waited Just a bit too long It didn't happen like you planned Now your rationale Is all but gone How did it get so out of hand Cracking your whip, but no one hears you Tighten your grip, but on one fears you Shot down, and you lost your power How will you face, the desperate hour Loading your gun, you're filled with passion Turning to run, just ain't your fashion Blown out, by the circumstances Never mind that you'll take your chances You're desperate

Walking On Air Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan You've got more than it takes To go the distance You've got invincible powers On earth resistance I'm the curious type Always right where you least expected In a world of my own I'm undetected Moving under night light I see you Dancing in the twilight I near you I'm walking on air Beside you Could come at any time Under any weather On and on I seek The endless pleasure No, don't be surprised I may be disguised you know And I think it's time you learned I'm not so slow Moving under night light I see you Dancing in the twilight I near you I'm walking on air Beside you

Burning Torches Of Hope Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Wonder, where our world is heading for The future, it's filling us with fear We stumbled, in a pit too deep this time We don't know, if we'll make it out Still, there's a way Where there's a will Are you ready to try Let our love lead us On with those Burning torches of hope Could they ever lead us astray Don't let them defeat us We're on our own oasis of joy No, don't let it be swept away Darkness, only gets the faint of heart And they're helpless Or so they seem to think Frightened, you see them running everywhere Warning, everyone beware Still, there's a way Where there's a will Are you ready to try Let our love lead us On with those Burning torches of hope Could they ever lead us astray Don't let them defeat us We're on our own oasis of joy No, don't let it be swept away

Keep The Tension On Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Beware the rotting wind Of complacency It loves to suck you in 'Til you're history If you can't afford the price Of a fatal slip You'd better learn to dance To the master's whip Keep the tension on It helps to keep the tension on There's something to be said For the sweating palm There's nothing like the high From a ticking bomb You've got to put yourself To the acid test Or let your life decay In a fat cat's rest Keep the tension on It helps to keep the tension on All day long I dream I'm outside On the hundredth floor Down below are people - screaming Feel their tension soar Keep the tension on It helps to keep the tension on

Guerilla Soldier Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Guerrilla Soldier born in Santo Domingo U.S. Marine down from him home up in Maine Big Red Machine rolls in patrolling the jungle All of them baking under tropical rain Six long months in a forest wasteland Scenes of terror so fresh and ripe Found a place to come face to face Like the gutter-snipes Whether you like it or not There ain't no end in sight For another thousand days Will it all be over And another thousand nights Will the job get done For another thousand days Will it all make history And another thousand nights Will the war be won Guerrilla Soldier gives a smile for the camera U.S. Marine says hi to mom on the news Big Red Machine shows how to move in a straight line Would be a shame to see Should one of them lose Eighteen months in a foreign wasteland Scenes of terror still fresh and ripe Found a place to come face to face Like the gutter-snipes Whether you like it or not There ain't no end i

(You're A) Strange Animal Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan Well they say I should approach you With caution But not to let you be aware of my fear Never know what you'll find Don't understand your kind 'round here Watching your moves They look so radical Hearing your words They sound fanatical Something inside reveals you're magical How can I get enough You're a strange animal That's what I know You're a strange animal I've got to follow They've been trying to stick a time In your system Analyzing the defenses you hold Trying to open wide Hoping to step inside your soul But everything here is unfamiliar Nothing they've seen remotely similar How can it be you're so peculiar How can I get enough You're a strange animal That's what I know You're a strange animal I've got to follow O Ominous Spiritus!

A Criminal Mind Written by Lawrence Gowan Lead Vocals by Lawrence Gowan You see my hands are steady You've seen my face before Soon you can take your last look And they'll close the door I stand accused before you I have no tears to cry And you will never break me 'Til the day I die A criminal mind Is all I've ever known They tried to reform me But I'm made of cold stone My criminal mind Is all I've ever had Ask one who's known me If I'm really so bad I am I've spent my life behind these steel bars I've paid my debt in time But being brought to justice That was my only crime I don't regret a single action I'd do the same again These prison walls secure me And I'm numb to pain A criminal mind Is all I've ever known They tried to reform me But I'm made of cold stone My criminal mind Is all I've ever had Ask one who's known me If I'm really so bad I am Before you hand me over Before you read my sentence I'd like t
