BURN
(Coverdale/Blackmore/Lord/Paice)

The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight I still see the land
People are sayin' the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

The city's ablaze, the town's on fire
The woman's flames are reachin' higher
We were fools - we called her a liar
All I hear is - Burn

They didn't believe she was devil's sperm
She said "Curse you all never learn when I leave, there's no return"
The people laughed 'till she said - "Burn"

Warning came - no one cared
Earth was shakin' - we stood and stared
When it came, no one was spared
Still I hear - Burn

You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time

You know we had no time
We could not even try
You know we had no time

The sky is red, I don't understand
Past midnight - I still see the land
People are sayin' the woman is damned
She makes you burn with a wave of her hand

Warning came, no one cared
Earth was shakin' we stood and stared
When it came no one was spared

Still I hear - Burn


THE LIAR
(Hughes/Beauvoir)

I can see your eyes are burnin'
I can feel your wheels are turnin'
In my heart I've been mistreated
The mistakes I've made before
I've just repeated

I should have listened
Now the writing's on the wall
And you don't know what
You've been missin'
Now you're headed for the fall
You're the one they call
The Liar

In the night while you lay sleepin'
But your mind still lies awake
Out there deceiving

I don't want to let go
But I have to get away
Now I want to let you know
That I'm leave here today
You're the one they call
The Liar

Say goodbye, now stop your cryin'
I won't take those alibis
Oh, you've been lyin'

I don't want to let go
But I have to get away
Now I want to let you know
That I'm leave here today
You're the one they call
The Liar


MUSCLE AND BLOOD
(Hughes/Thrall)

Somebody's waiting
With a gun in his hand
Standing in the shadows
He's making a plan
But he don't see nobody
Only a fool would mess with the boy

Lying in the gutter
In the dead of the night
I'm looking for the answers
I'm hoping that it's right
I won't hurt nobody only a fool would mess with me boy

Wishing and praying there's nothing you can do
Nothing can stop me, nothing can stop me
I'm a man made of muscle and blood

I'm watching and waiting
Do the best that I can
Standing in the shadows
I'm gonna make my stand

Wishing and praying there's nothing you can do
Nothing can stop me, nothing can stop me, nothing can stop me
I'm a man made of muscle and blood
I'm a man made of muscle and blood
A man made of muscle and blood
I'm a man pumping muscle and blood
A man made of muscle and blood


LAY MY BODY DOWN
(Hughes/Larsson)

I've been travellin' for so many days
Thru' the valleys I have gone
I've been searchin' in so many ways
For the things that I have done

Now I ask you - do you love me
And don't tell me any lies

I will keep on ridin' in the
Early morning light
'Til they lay my body down

Behind the conscience of every man
Is a thing we all must trust
As I look across the land
I see shadows in the dust

So how can you judge me
When you don't know me
I know you'll miss me when I'm
Dead and gone

I will keep on ridin' in the
Early morning light
'Til they lay my body down
So close your eyes and you will find me
I'll be watching over you

I will be with you, you'll feel my spirit
I know your faith will put you thru'

Now I ask you - do you love me...


FROM NOW ON...
(Hughes)

I've been thinkin' 'bout what you said
I hear your voice
It speaks inside my head
You know I'd rather be with you
And feel your touch
When I was lost
I knew you'd rescue me
I paid the cost
And now I finally see
And now I know
That this was meant to be
It's all too much

Now I'm walkin' down the lonely road
And your face is all I see
I can't imagine that your love
Would come my way

I need shelter from the storm
I'll be stronger from now on...
I need shelter from the storm
I'll be stronger from now on...

I was lookin' for the chosen way
I was prayin' that I'd hear you say
Now it's time to let it go
It's all in my mind
Now the time has come
This had to be
When the mountains fall into the sea
And you'll be waitin' there for me
Everytime

As I wander in the fields of hope
As I see the light of day
I can't imagine that you love
Would come my way

Do you wanna go back to my homeland
To the place we belong
Back to my homeland
To the place near your heart

Now I'm walkin' down the lonely road
And your face is all I see
I can't imagine that your love
Would come my way

I need shelter from the storm
I'll be stronger from now on...
I need shelter from the storm
I'll be stronger from now on...

From now on my love will be stronger
From now on my faith will be stronger
From now on my soul will be stronger

From now on...


INTO THE VOID
(Hughes/Michaeli/Bojfeldt)

In this ever changing world
We live in dangerous times
When you're standing on the ledge
There's no time to think it over

Is this the last time
That you will question my faith
This is the season of the crimson sky
I can remember the look upon your face
I can recall that moment in time

I tell you, my brother, fame is a dangerous thing
I can see thru' you, you're flesh and blood
Let's say goodbye to the past
It's a long time gone
Now I have fallen on sacred ground

You run against the wind
You hear the starting gun
Now don't you turn away
Now look what you have done

If you wanna make that move
Get into the void
If you're searching for the truth
Get into the void

I see the future
I hear it calling my name
Look back in anger
I still feel the pain
It brings back memories from
Space and time
This is the year of the new
Born child

You run against the wind
You hear the starting gun
Now don't you turn away
Now look what you have done

If you wanna make that move
Get into the void
If you're searching for the truth
Get into the void

If you're looking for a thrill
Get into the void
If you wanna break your will
Get into the void

Is this the last time...

You run against the wind
You hear the starting gun
Now don't you turn away
Now look what you have done
The rivers have all dried up
The locust's in the sky
You better think it over
So give it one more try

If you wanna make that move
Get into the void
If you're searching for the truth
Get into the void

I can remember
I can remember
Remember

STILL IN LOVE WITH YOU
(Hughes)

Cause I'm still in love with you
What am I gonna do

All through the night
I've been waiting for you
Calling your name
Do you feel the same

Now the daylight has gone
How can I carry on?
Can I see your face, anytime anyplace?
Here in my room
Say you'll come back real soon
Cause I'm still in love with you
Yes, I'm still in love with you, you, you, you

COAST TO COAST
(Hughes)

Goin' today, just passin'
The road I know so well
Seems the more I ride you
You give me more
You'll tell
And if I try
Soon it will show
To keep me strong
And know that I've had times
So good
From coast to coast
Leavin' my hard times behind

And if I try soon it will show
To keep me strong
And know that I've had time
So good from coast to coast
Leavin' my hard times behind

Oh I love the coast
I love the coast

Oh yeah, oh yeah
I love the coast


THIS TIME AROUND
(Hughes/Paice/Bolin)

The world around us hangs in doubt
You face a crime that we'll hear about
To pay the cost, would never be the same

Eternal lovers, we're not to blame
There's no mistake, there's no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again - this time around

As I look around you can't be found
To lose you, I'd rather see the endless
Time of space go passing by

This time around
This time around

So look around, we all will be found
In love

The world around hangs in doubt
You face a crime that we'll hear about
To pay the cost, would never be the same

Eternal lovers, we're not to blame
There's no mistake, there's no refrain
The same surroundings that stood
Are here again - this time around

As I look around, you can't be found
To lose you, I'd rather see the endless
Time and space go passing by

This time around
This time around


GETTIN' TIGHTER
(Hughes/Bolin)

When night time comes
And I'm 10,000 miles away
Just lose yourself
And watch the band kick back
And play

Get up - keep in line
It's gettin' tighter all the time
You say you're feelin' fine
It's gettin' tighter all the time

Get a load off your mind
This place is right
It's hard to find

The mood is set alright
It's gonna be a long, long night
You keep on spinning 'round
You find it hard to touch the ground
And time is all it takes
You'll find it easy once you make

Get up - keep in line
It's getting' tighter all the time

Gettin' tighter
Gettin' tighter


YOU KEEP ON MOVING
(Coverdale/Hughes)

You keep on moving
Far away, far away
You keep on moving
Far away, far away
Everyday, wheels are turning
And the cry...still returning

Dawn will soon be breaking
The day has just begun
You put your arms around me
Like a circle 'round the sun
Dance across the seasons
To a place that no one knows
Where angels fear to tread

You keep on moving
Far away, far away
You keep on moving
Far away, far away
Everyday, wheels are turning
And the cry...still returning


LADY DOUBLE DEALER
(Blackmore/Coverdale)

Get outta my way
I'm gettin' tired of you
There ain't no chance
Doin' what you wanna do
I've been down, down, down, down, down
Got to get my feet back on the ground

Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say

I ain't satisfied
Dealin' with second hand goods
You wanted somethin' for nothin'
Taking everything you could
You been 'round - I got the news
But you ain't waitin' 'round for me to lose

Lady double dealer
Get outta my way
Lady double dealer
You got nothing to say

I gave love to you
Did what you wanted me to
But all you did was bring me down
So I just had to try
Try to reason why
You took advantage of my love

Two timin' woman
Tryin' to take me for a ride
You're a hard lover, honey
But you sure don't keep me satisfied
I wanna be there

To try to make you see
There ain't no woman gonna
Make a fool outta me


I GOT YOUR NUMBER
(Hughes/Thrall)

How've you been? Alright?
You got the power
Turn on the light
Don't run for cover
No need to hide
You should be here
Right by my side

'Cause you know I've got your number
It's alright
'Cause you know I've got your number
It's alright

I got yours, you got mine
Want you to know that
Your love came on time
I got your message up
On the wall
You break my back
You make me wanna crawl
To get your number

'Cause you know I've got your number
It's alright, hey
Number, number, number


STORMBRINGER
(Blackmore/Coverdale)

Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running
'Cause it's coming you way...

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running...
Stormbringer coming...
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Rainbow shaker
On a stallion twister
Bareback rider
On the eye of the sky
Stormbringer coming down
Meaning to stay
Thunder and lightning
Heading your way

Ride the rainbow
Crack the sky
Stormbringer coming
Time to die
Got to keep running...
Stormbringer coming...
He's got nothing you need
He's gonna make you bleed

Comin' out of nowhere
Drivin' like rain
Stormbringer dance
On the thunder again
Dark cloud gathering
Breaking the day
No point running...

'Cause it's coming you way
