Straight Through The Heart

 album: "Holy Diver" (1983)




prevv   -----------------------    next song

Hanging from the cobwebs in
you mind it looks like a long long way to fall
No one ever told me life was kind
 I guess I never heard it I never heard it all
Living in a world of make believe

 I can hide behind what's real
But wearing your emotions on
your sleeve and they all know what you feel
And here it comes again straight through
the heart straight through the heart

Oh never tell a secret with your eyes
 it's the eyes that let you down
Tell a little truth with many lies
 it's the only way I've found

Oh here it comes again straight through
the heart straight through the heart
Shout to the wind how can you hurt me this way

Oh once it begins it looks like it's coming to stay
Hanging from the cobwebs in your mind it looks
 like a long long way to fall
No one ever told me life was kind I guess

 I never heard it never heard it all no
But here it comes again straight through
the heart straight through
 the heart straight through the heart

Here it comes again straight through
the heart in the middle of the heart
Now don't stand still they'll get
you right through your heart
And here it comes here it comes again
 straight through the heart

Shame on the night for places
I've been and what I've seen for giving
me the strangest dreams
But you never let me know just what
 they mean so oh oh so shame on the night alright
And shame on you you've stolen
 the day snatched it away but

I saw the sky and I never want to die
Now you know the reason why
 I say oh shame on the night
You don't care what
you've done so I think I'd better run
Shame on the sun for the light

you sold I've lost my hold on the magic flame
but now I know your name
Oh lord just go the way
you came again oh oh oh
shame on the night

You don't care what
 you've done so I know I'd better run
Shame on the night for places
 I've been and what I've seen for giving me the strangest dreams

You never never never know
just what they mean oh shame on the night
You don't care what you've done here I go I've got to run
Shame on the night shame shame on you
Shame on the dream shame on tzhe sun
and you shame on the night

Well I've lost my hold on the magic flame
but now I know your name
Shame on the night shame on
 you shame on all of you shame on the night
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha

Rainbow In The Dark

album: "Holy Diver" (1983)




prevv    ----------------------    next song

When there's lightning
 you know it always bring me down
'cause it's free and I see that
it's me who's lost and never found
I cry out for magic I feel it dancing in the light
It was cruel lost my hold to the shadows of the night
No sign of the morning coming

you've been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark a rainbow in the dark
Do your demons do they ever let you go
When you've tried do they hide
deep inside is it someone that you know

You're just a picture you're an image caught in time
We're a lie you and I we're words without a rhyme
There's no sign of the morning
 coming you've been left on your own
Like a rainbow in the dark
just a rainbow in the dark yeah
When there's lightning

you know it always brings me down
'cause it's free and I see that
it's me who's lost and never found
Feel the magic fell it floating in the air
But it's fear and you'll hear it
calling you beware look out

There's no sign of the morning
coming there's no sign of the day
You've been left on your own
like a rainbow like a rainbow in the dark
Yeah yeah you're a rainbow
in the dark just a rainbow in the dark
No sign of the morning
you're a rainbow in the dark whoa
oh oh

Invisible

prevv   ---------------------    next song

If your circle stays unbroken then
you're a lucky man 'cause it never
never never has for me
In the palace of the virgin lies
the chalice of the soul and it's likely
you might find the answer there

She had thirteen years of teenage tears
 and never a helping hand
She had fourteen more of rain
before she saw the sight of land

She was a photograph just ripped
 in half a smile inside a frown
And then the light the answer right
inside her coming down

She said I can go away I can leave here
 I can be invisible I'll go away
He was just eighteen and in between a lady and a man
His daddie's girl in momma's world
and that was when he ran

You know the word confused has
been abused but that's just what he was
And then the spark inside the dark
he answer came because it said
You can go away you can leave here

you can be be be invisible
Well I grew up quick and I felt
the kick of life upon a stage
So I bought the book and took a fast
look at just the very last page
It was a single word that I'd just
heard from the two that came before

The only way to really stay is to
walk right out the door
So you can go away I'm gonna leave here
 I can be invisible and go away again
I can go away when I leave here I can be invisible
I said when I've gone away lord

you know it's right to leave here
So I just became invisible I went away,
disappear before your eyes.
You never touch me you never feel me
 you'll never see me again because I've just become unseen
Well I'm a photograph that's been torn
in half and the only teen never in between
We need a helping hand to the holy land
to be invisible to go away

Holy Diver

album: "Holy Diver" (1983)

Holy Diver
You've been down too long in the midnight sea
Oh what's becoming of me
Ride the tiger
You can see his stripes but you know he's clean
Oh don't you see what I mean
Gotta get away

Holy Diver
Shiny diamonds
Like the eyes of a cat in the black and blue
Something is coming for you
Race for the morning
You can hide in the sun 'till you see the light

Oh we will pray it's all right
Gotta get away-get away
Between the velvet lies
There's a truth that's hard as steel
The vision never dies
Life's a never ending wheel

Holy Diver
You're the star of the masquerade
No need to look so afraid
Jump on the tiger
You can feel his heart but you know he's mean
Some light can never be seen
