WOLF TO THE MOON (Blackmore/White/Night) With a rebel mind and a gypsy heart No place could ever be home Drawn like a wolf to the moon it calls to my soul Ain't got no woman, they just tie me down Freedom is my only friend I get a feeling destiny lies 'round the bend One for the road Slave to the highway King of the road Chasing the sun as it sets in the sky Swear that I'll catch it someday Lights of the city behind are fadingg away Makin' my way through the names on the map No point in feeling alone As long as I ride the open road I'll always have a home One for the road Slave to the highway King of the road My future is calling a cry in the wind Leading me out of my past Got no destination but know that I'm getting there fast Crossed many miles got so many to go Each one calling my name Won't settle down and you know I'll never be tamed One for the road Slave to the highway King of the road  COLD HEARTED WOMAN (Blackmore/White/Night) She came from across the water A devil’s daughter was in disguise I cried for mercy – she bound and chained me And then she played me, I was mesmerized When she gave me blood red roses They were wrapped in razor thorns She was sly in her temptations Then she left me on my own Such a cold hearted woman She promised passion everlasting And now I’m haunted by her name I gave up all that I ever cared for Oh if I only had my yesterdays again I’vie been blinded, now I’m broken Sometime I can hear her songs No man’s grass was ever greener Now I find that I don’t belong With a cold hearted woman She touched my world and I was shaken But she was akin.’ I never knew These days are colder and there’s no shoulder I’m just the shell of the man I was before If there’s somewhere I can run to Till I kill the pain inside I’vie been walking now for hours Can’t forget her, the Lord knows I’vie tried Cause she’s a cold, cold hearted woman HUNTING HUMANS (Insatiable) (Blackmore/White) Justify, speak the lies, close your eyes As we make love Touch my skin, let the fun begin, once again I hear your cries, rise and rise Feel the nails, tell tale trails across my spine Beautiful Silken kiss, on a night like this, who would miss Our final hour Closer still, close your eyes, see my world, it’s animal Insatiable Velvet glove, unrequited love, find the words And make them rhyme One last dance, hypnotizing trance, a knowing glance I loved you Closer still, lose you will, se my world it’s criminal Insatiable Things we hide, keep them out of sight, heard it said It’s unbearable Feel my pain, taste my shame, who’s to blame Inexcusable STAND AND FIGHT (Blackmore/White) Can’t say something if the words ain’t there What you trying to do Money can’t buy me out of trouble I’m in I’vie been messing with the likes of you Been so long since I left my home Looks like I’vie lost my way Tried so hard just to make it work You just turn around and walk away Something’s got to give, I Ian’t gonna leave Time to dig down deep If you wanna get out of this tough town alive You gat stand and fight So infuriating the way you twist my words I know you got your problems, it seems everyday That they’re getting much worse I hear you screaming for attention You say your life’s a mess Something else to cry about Just get on with it Something’s got to give, I Ian’t gonna leave Time to dig down deep If you wanna get out of this tough town alive You gat stand and fight ARIEL (Blackmore/Night) I search for her in the dead of night A silhouette lit by candle light In a whispered word she is gone Familiar stranger without a name In a darkened room they all look the same Like the sands of time she slips away so far away In the mirror you can see her face An angel dressed in the blackest lace A sop of wine and the game can begin Just an image lost in fantasy Then you touch her and you can’t break free Till you see your fate written there in her eyes Oh Ariel, Lost in a distant dream, take me home Ariel TOO LATE FOR TEARS (Blackmore/White/Regan) Well I’m moving faster close to the edge As I smoke a pack of strong cigarettes When my fear run dry, you won’t see me cry Cos' I know I got it coming We touched the sun and went our way And we asked the stars to come out to play But you said good night when they lost their light And my world stopped spinning round What are we fighting for Don't ya know that no one wins What are we fighting for Just give up and I’ll give in It’s to late for tears When the things you need are things you don’t want And you take the needle right to the point I’d be heaven bound, but you shoot me down Leave me broke and bleeding on the killing floor BLACK MASQUERADE (Blackmore/Morris/White/Night) I know the key to secrets never told, they’re hidden in your soul Feelings you hide never wanting me to find they’ve always been mine Release all the madness within let it all begin Now you’ll see, the dark side of me In your black masquerade Let the moonlight surround you The game that we play is The black masquerade The full moon unmasks the stranger in us all And the cruel world takes its toll The shadows is cast on who you used to be Let me set you free Come now, come take my hand, then you’ll understand We’ll go to that forbidden land Of our black masquerade Let the darkness surround you The game that we play is the black masquerade Release all the madness within let it all begin We’ll go to that forbidden land Come let me take you there Let the moonlight surround you Don’t be afraid, it’s the black masquerade SILENCE (Blackmore/White) You say that you want your freedom It all gets a bit out of hand Caught in the ocean as I’m watching your breathe We all believe what we wanted to believe That’s the silence of love You say that all you want is money You scream for a little bit more Caught in a landslide as we’re stumbling on Who’d say we’re right but who would say we’re wrong Silence of our love You say you need someone to hold you You say that you’re feeling afraid I know that the worst part of being alone Is a book full of numbers with no one to phone That’s the silence of love HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING (Night/Blackmore – arrangement only!) Mysteries of ages told, stories now will unfold Tales of mystic days of old are hidden in these walls Hear the witches play their tunes, sing their song to the moon As they play the night will move, in the hall of the mountain king Wild child so innocent You took that away Thoughts of wonder and surprise hide themselves in your eyes As the smoke begins to rise inside the mountain halls Ancient tales of witches lore, answers lie through that door All you’d ever want and more, is calling for you now Through darkened corridors Try but you cannot break free You took her innocence Now you will answer to me I am the mountain king Are you not afraid? I am the mountain king Listen to the bells In a midnight fantasy, more than any eye can see Hear them laugh crazily, it’s oy of your control Mysteries of ages told, stories will now unfold Tales of mystic days of old are hidden in these walls Through darkened passages Run but you cannot escape You took her innocence And for this crime you must pay I am the mountain king, Are you not afraid? I am the mountain king STILL I'M SAD (Samwell-Smith/McCarty) See the stars come fallin’ down from the sky Gently passing, they kiss your tear drops dry See the wind come, softly blow Your hair from your face And the rain comes falling down In it’s crazy way Still I’m sad For my self my tears just fall in the dust As I search in the night and find they’re lost See the wind come gently blow Time into my heart And the rain comes falling down While we’re apart Still I’m sad EMOTIONAL CRIME (Blackmore/White/Regan) (Bonus track on the Japanese version of the album) I can't get through in the midnight hour All you wanted is to scream and shout Do me a favour, don't slam the door Don't be coming around here any more Tried to change my whole life, with a wave of your hand I'm gonna tell you baby, so you'll understand I'm tired and weary of a love gone cold I'm sick and tired of doing what I'm told Oh you're givin' me pain Ya driving me out of my mind It's emotional crime Watch you get so crazy over little things N'I get nervous when the telephone rings You try to chain me, but I won't be bound It's only dirty love keeps me around It's only your good love keeps me around Oh you're ringing my bell Oh my life is hell Oh just killing time Ya driving me out of my mind I finally got through by the midnight hour An' you still wanted to scream and shout You can live your own life, let me live mine You might be an angel but you ain't divine Why don't you waste your own time Don't waste mine Tellin' you babe you ain't no friend of mine
