MSG - WRITTEN IN THE SAND





BRAVE NEW WORLD


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 4:16

I've been down this road before
Like a fool coming back for more
But I need what you have in store
I'll be coming through your open door


I have seen those clouds of rain
In the open desert sky
I have tried to ease the pain
And spread my wings and fly


Sometimes I feel like crying
When it falls from my hand
And all our kingdoms turn to sand


But these are the days of wonder
This is our brave new world
This is the spell we're under
This is our brave new world


When you close your weary eyes
And you think of what you had
Then the web of hurt and lies
Has changed from good to bad


Sometimes I feel like dying
When I reach for your hand
And all my kingdoms turn to sand


These are the days of wonder
This is our brave new world
This is the spell we're under
This is our brave new world


What is the meaning of it all
What are we waiting for
Is it the calm before the storm
Tell me what lies behind that door


These are the days of wonder
This is our brave new world
This is the spell we're under
This is our brave new world


These are the days of wonder
This is our brave new world
This is the spell we're under
This is our brave new world


Brave new world


This is our brave new world



CRY NO MORE


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 5:18

When you were tangled in the sheets
Did your soul get burned
Just trying to make ends meet
Now the tide has turned


But I will be there tomorrow
No need to cry no more


When will you ever realize
You are blessed not cursed
And things you sacrifice
Only make things worse


But I will be there tomorrow
No need to cry no more
I will be there tomorrow
No need to cry no more


Tell me who are the tears for
That fall in your life
And who are you here for
When you see me tonight


Night has fallen once again
Time to break that spell
Can we make it to the end
Only time will tell


But I will be there tomorrow
No need to cry no more


And where is that fire
That burned in your eyes
Don't kill that desire
That keeps you alive


Tell me who are the tears for
That fall in your life
And who are you here for
When you see me tonight


If you listen to my heart
If you read my mind
Light will glisten from the stars
If you see the signs


And I will be there tomorrow
No need to cry no more
I will be there tomorrow
No need to cry no more


And where is that fire
That burned in your eyes
Don't kill that desire
That keeps you alive


Cry no more
No need to cry no more


No need to cry no more



BACK TO LIFE


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 6:12

One more try is wasted
One more lesson learned
Too much fun I've tasted
One more bridge has burned


One more mind is twisted
One more heart is torn
One more lie is whispered
One false truth is born


In my darkest hour
When my trouble has begun


I can't light up the darkness
I cannot kill the pain
Can't turn off the madness
That grows in every man


And all this time we wasted
Love is overdue
Love runs down on empty
Pain will cover you


In the midnight hour
When my love is on the run


But I will try to find it
And it will come to me
I will walk in silence
Until she walks with me


Let's take it to the other side
Our love is coming back to life
Let all the tears put out the fire
It's coming back to life


I can't deny the hunger
Can't forget the pain
Can't be here much longer
I lost my way again
No straight path is granted
It's a long and dirty road
It may leave me empty handed
Or it may lead me home


But when I try to find it
It will come to me
I will walk in silence
And she will walk with me
I will find the answer
She will make me see


Let's take it to the other side
Our love is coming back to life
Let all the tears put out the fire
Our love is coming back to life
Back to life


One more town behind me
In the fading city lights
Your face still in my rearview
Such a pretty sight
You paint another blue sky
With your million dollar smile
You make another sun rise
Past the highway signs


In my darkest hour
When the trouble has begun
In the midnight hour
When my love is on the run


I will try to find it
And it will come to me
I will walk in silence
And she will walk with me


Let's take it to the other side
Our love is coming back to life
Let all the tears put out the fire
Our love is coming back to life
Back to life



WRITTEN IN THE SAND


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 3:29

I can't wait another minute
I can't wait another day
You really pushed it to the limit
I got stuck in yesterday


She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand
Written in the sand


I don't wanna wait forever
I just need you here today
Guess you found your little heaven
When your soul got swept away


She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand
Written in the sand


On a distant planet
Somewhere far away
It's too much to handle
When you're miles away
I can't seem to stand it
When it's gone astray
I got stuck in yesterday


She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand


She's got all I want in the palm of her hand
And our fate is written in the sand
Written in the sand



LOVE NEVER DIES


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 5:45

I've been looking for a reason
I've been looking for a clue
How to help me keep the promise
I once made to you


* When I feel the cold wind blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies


I've been stayin' on the wild side
Ever since you went away
I've been going on a night ride
Looking for a better day


When you feel the four winds blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies


You can try to find a miracle
You can wish upon a star
When you dive into the wishing well
Just open your heart


When I feel the cold wind blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies


I've been walking on the thin line
Between the right and wrong
I've been looking for a street sign
To lead me back where I belong


When you hear the four winds calling
On your endless desert miles
Remember when you're falling
Love never dies


When I feel the cold wind blowing
On your endless desert miles
No matter where you're going
Love never dies, never dies



I WILL BE THERE


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 5:03

Over days of darkness
You shine the light on my way
And in the fields of sadness
You plant a seed, that blooms any day


You wake the dead
I'm out of my head
You turn the blue sky red


And I would climb any mountain
Swim any sea
I will be there
To shake your tree
I would hitchhike to heaven
Fly to the sun
I will be there
To bang your drum


Through the tears and the laughter
The river runs to the sea
Through the thirst and hunger
You will give me all that I need


You paint the sky
With blood and desire
You set my heart on fire


And I would climb any mountain
Swim any sea
I will be there
To set you free
I would hitchhike to heaven
Fly to the sun
I will be there
'Cause you're the one


Nowhere to run now
Nowhere to hide from me


In this world we live in
Keep your feet on the ground
Don't give up, don't give in
When there's no more hope to be found


You paint the sky
With blood and desire
You set my heart on fire


And I would climb any mountain
Swim any sea
I will be there
To shake your tree
I would hitchhike to heaven
Fly to the sun
I will be there
To bang your drum


And I would climb any mountain
Swim any sea
I will be there
To set you free
I would hitchhike to heaven
Fly to the sun
I will be there
'Cause you're the one


I will be there


Yeah, I will be there


I will be there


I will be there



TAKE ME THROUGH THE NIGHT


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 6:08

Going down the open road
To find where I belong
Can't resist the call is much too strong
They're waking up the memories
The shadows are on the wall
Stirring up the mess inside my soul


We can get it together
You can catch my fall
I can take you higher
Stand above it all


You can help me through these lonely days
You can take me through the night
You can help me past these lonely ways
You can take me through the night


Take you through the emptiness
And give you something real
Make it past the loneliness you feel
But I'm talking to the walls tonight
I'm waiting by the phone
Call before my heart has turned to stone


We can get it together
You can catch my fall
I can take you higher
Stand above it all


You can help me through these lonely days
You can take me through the night
You can help me past these lonely ways
You can take me through the night


When the black clouds come and steal the light
You can take me through the night


I'm running through the open fields
I'm lost inside a dream
Drifting like a ship out on the sea
And I'm reaching out with open arms
I'm on the shifting sands
Hoping I can find a second chance


We can get it together
You can catch my fall
I can take you higher
Stand above it all


You can help me through these lonely days
You can take me through the night
You can help me past these lonely ways
You can take me through the night


You can help me through these lonely days
You can take me through the night
You can help me past these lonely ways
You can take me through the night


You can help me
You can help me
You can take me through the night



DOWN THE DRAIN


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 3:48

We share a broken arrow
We share a life
We pray that something better
Will turn this thing around
We are the broken people
We are the ghosts
And I know there ain't nobody
Who can save us now


So let it rain, wash away the pain
Let it rain, and wash it down the drain


We left the water running
Til' the well was dry
I watch while our life's burning
Flames reach for the sky


So let it rain, wash away the pain
Let it rain, and wash it down the drain


If you are lost and never found
If you are down and nowhere bound
If your river's black and your sea is green
Let the rain come down and wash you clean


We braved the stormy waters
And the burning sand
We walked on holy water
To find this no man's land


Let it rain, wash away the pain
Let it rain, and wash it down the drain


Let it rain, wash away the pain
Let it rain, and wash it down the drain


Let it rain, wash away the pain
Let it rain, and wash it down the drain



I BELIEVE


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Leif Sundin) 5:48

Heaven helps
Dreams are shattered
Take my hand
Take my life


When prayers have failed
We're bruised and battered
We'll find that land
We'll leave tonight


Help me see, when I'm blinded
I make your dream pull you through
Make me live, when I'm dying
I spend my days, just for you


One morning, one day
One story, one way


I believe, there's a place for everyone
I believe, we can have it all
We can heal, when we are lost and alone
I believe we can change it all


Lights went on, and blurred my vision
Something knocked me off my feet
It drained the fuel, of my ambition
It left me stranded on the street


One morning, one day
One story, one way


I believe, there's a place for everyone
I believe, we can have it all
We can heal, when we are lost and alone
I believe we can change it all


Heaven waits, the wheels are turning
A little faster every day
A twist of fate, left me yearning
For the one, who lost its way


I believe, there's a place for everyone
I believe, we can have it all
We can heal, when we are lost and alone
I believe we can change it all

CRY FOR THE NATIONS


(Music : Michael Schenker/Lyrics: Gary Barden) 5:08

A time of fear, so long ago,
Lived a man in Salon,
In his dark and magic room,
He gazed on times to come,
All is then revealed, and visions on water speak true!
Cry for the nations, cry for the nations.


A flash of light, fills the night,
And chills the blood in his veins,
Will the power possess his mind, soul in chains
All is then revealed, and tears that he shed were for you
Cry for the nations, cry for the nations.
Battles of kings, and of fools,
And changes in ways he once knew,
As pages of days fade away
He's lost in time


Cry for the nations
Cry for the nations


Cry for the nations
Cry for the nations


Cry, cry, cry, cry


Cry, cry, cry, cry


Cry for the nations
Cry for the nations
