Proof of Heaven [Dennis DeYoung]

Proof of Heaven  Written by  Dennis DeYoung  and Jim Peterik Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung  and Jim Peterik Tell me all you know Whisper in my ear The secrets of the universe We're dying all to hear I promise not to tell Well, maybe just my wife Please explain the mystery They call the afterlife ’Cause I believe, I believe I tell myself everyday When I look around, I see A world in disarray But I keep on hoping, I keep on hoping We search for proof of heaven We seek the sacred light We kneel with saints and sinners Hoping for the black and white We look for guardian angels We pray for saving grace We search for proof of heaven In every stranger's face And tell me one more thing Why all this mystery Are there any more like us Out in distant galaxies 'Cause everyone I know (Everyone I know) From here to who-knows-where Wants to know the reasons why Oh, life can be unfair But I believe, I believe I tell myself everyday (Everyday) But when I look around, I see A world th...

The Kingdom's Come Undone [Ronnie Montrose. featuring Ricky Phillips]

Image
The Kingdom's Come Undone Written by Ronnie Montrose,  Ricky Phillips Lead Vocals by  Ricky Phillips You see the man in the mirror You can't see through his disguise Remember that face in his hand As he holds on in wild eyes Chop down the old weeping willow And see the hangman fall Deep down to the roots, therein lies the truth to desire In my life See them run In our time The kingdom's come undone Next in line Who will be next to carry on Is there a method in his madness Once the madman's crossed the line When his strength and beliefs become our legacy Will you stiffen for all of mankind Take the hood off the hangman And see the face of us all With your freedom of choice Will you be the voice With the blade of the axe when it falls In my life The freedom bell is rung When the death bells toll The kingdom's come undone The mirror sees you look away Others speak their mind Upon our shoulders, now will lay The generation next in line Is there method in his madness Onc...

Fallen Angel

Fallen Angel Written by Dennis DeYoung Lead Vocals by Dennis DeYoung Listen on YouTube Hell nobody's perfect One hundred percent No saint, no Pope, no King no Queen No President But our hunger for heroes Has made us blind We seek salvation From the cup of human kind But every time we hear the voice Of some new Abraham We wake too late to realize It was just another scam Fallen angel, fallen angel Well I guess you were no angel after all Fallen angel, fallen angel You always take us with you when you fall I said nobody's perfect From head to toe Not Einstein or Elvis or Lenin or Marx Or Marilyn Monroe Cause it's mostly illusion In flesh and bone An image, a look, a song or a book That we all claim for our own But even in the best of us There lies beneath the skin The tragic flaw in nature's law That's bound to do us in Fallen angel, fallen angel Well I guess you were no angel after all Fallen angel, fallen angel You always take us with you when you fall Pretty faces ...
