I. OvertureII. Ride the LightningLift - lift me highTeach me whyI've been born in a world of painSo confused in a masqueradeSome give a smile while they hold a bladeSo I ran - so far awayNight turned to desolation daysRaining down - so out of phaseThen came the silver lightning daysHigh as the winds of yesterdayAs the mountains melt awayWhile we're walking on a wireLost in a world that's worlds awayWe will ride the lightning dayAs we set our souls on fireRide it outRide the lightningRace - race the skyWind me upGet all cranked on the world stageSongtexteThat north wind buzzin' byFind yourself in a corporate highBut you're crackin' upBreaking downYour best friends have all left you nowThere's no stance left to takeMaybe it was all just a big mistakeHigh as the winds of yesterdayAs the mountains melt awayWhile we're walking on a wireLost in a world that's worlds awayWe will ride the lightning dayAs we set our souls on fireLet's ride it outRide the lightningRide the lightningIII. Black GoldThere is no place too hotTo mine the blackest goldYou gave her birthAnd new you watch her growing oldIf life is leaving tomorrowWe'll turn our backs to all sorrowAnd in a dancing ghost townThat's the end of storyYou watch the crops keep dyingAnd people pray for rainSeeing all the blood and blacknessRunning in her veinsIn desert towns lies the panicThe piercing sun beats satanicAnd still we're drowning in a floodThat sees no endThe river flows - Black as goldThat river glows - Taint your soulThe river flows - Black as goldThat river glows - Taint your soulAnd so the king of karma lost his only sonYou haven't lived in fullUntil you've tried that onceThe sacrifice is just massiveThe hurt is fast and aggressiveIf you unearth the darknessYou must pay the price!The river flows - Black as goldThat river glows - Taint your soulThe river flows - Black as goldThat river glows - Taint your soulIV. Walking the RoadMany days I've wondered far and wideIt's just me and my prideThis planet's so wide and there's nowhere to hideFrom myselfAnd many moons I've gazed onHigh and lowWhile I'm searching my soulThis land is so vast yet I still see my pastIn myselfAs I look to the sky in wonderAt this mystical map that we're underWhat should I do now and where do I find howTo find myself, define myselfAs I walk this road will I everFind that solution to my resolution, yeaAnd as I take each step will there be thatReal comprehension of my redemptionWhat should I do now and where do I find howTo find myself define myselfV. Desolation DaysHigh on a hill there sits a manWho is watching himselfWondering what is the truth he lives insideBreaking asunderHis castle melts into sandHe sits in the wreckage he made with hisOwn handsOut of the cry of every painFrom the realm of doubt and shameWhere we sink in dust and mireThere in our desolation daysWhere the heart sick human raceSeeks to fill its own desiresWe can ride it outRide the lightningWhere are you now?Are you just grasping for gold rings while you canHoping to make it into fulfilment landBut it's never comingNot that way my friendBut there is still timeYou can change your life againOut of the cry of every painFrom the realm of doubt and shameThat's where God will lift us higherThere in our desolation daysFrom the well of wisdom's placeWe will drink our true desireAnd all will be made rightJust ride the lightningVI. Lemon Looking GlassVII. Ride the Lightning (Reprise)High as the winds of yesterdayAs our fear is washed awayWe'll be walking through the fireThere on the mountain we will singAs His life fills everythingWe will live our true desireLet's ride it outRide the lightning Aus Songtexte Mania
