The promises of this world are, for the most part, vain phantoms; and to confide in one's self, and become something of worth and value is the best and safest course.

The Safest Place
Thank God that you were by my side..
On a night....
On a night...
Daytime Im fine
Everything is back normal
Last night I thought that I would die
I had nightmares, I was so scared
Thank God that you were by my side
To hold me when I cried
I wanna be strong
But I dont wanna be alone tonight
I wanna believe that I can save the world
And make it right
But I believe that youve got a heros face
Right here in your arms is safest place
The safest place
It feels so real
You showed I could trust you
With emotions I had locked away
It was your touch, your words
They hear deepest part of me
That only you can see
I wanna be strong
But I dont wanna be alone tonight
I wanna believe that I can save the world
And make it right
But I believe that youve got a heros face
Right here in your arms is safest place
As long as Im with you
As long as I can feel you
Thats all I need to keep me going
On and on and on and on....
I wanna believe that I can save the world
And make it right
But I believe that youve got a heros face
Right here in your arms is safest place
Right here in your arms is safest place....
The safest place...
The safest place...

Confide In Me
(melissa manchester/stanley schwartz)
Confide in me
Religh on me
And I will try to satisfy
Your every need
Through the day
till we say goodnight
Take it slow, easy go
Any friend would recommend
The starlight show
On a night like this
I insist you try
Oh, now I know the nights will last
Morning sun is shining through
So close the door
And let the whole world passes by
While I confide in you
If you take the time
You will find
A smile face, warm embrace
A sympathetic mind, to do it right
Confide in me tonight
Oh, now I know the nights will last
Morning sun is shining through
So close the door
And let the whole world passes by
While I confide in you
Confide in me
Religh on me
Any wish, youve ever missed
Is guaranteed
Theres a peace of mind
You will find
Confide in me tonight
Ooh, confide in me tonight

Apart
A part of this world I open my eyes and breathe...
Apart of this world I wonder what they think of me on Facebook
A part of this world I laugh at how beautiful everyone is...
Apart of this world I check to see who likes my comments
A part of this world I live in the brilliant orgasm of now...
Apart of this world I lay down some anonymous hate as Guest42
A part of this world I sigh at the joke of separation
Apart of this world I struggle to connect to someone worth it
A part of this world I smile at every pretty girl...
Apart of this world I smile at the pretty girls
A part of this world I am very close, closer than comfort...
Apart of this world I feel so very far away and so alone

World Of Promises
They come from a land were the sun don't shine
running away from the cold
They travel so far in the name of love
hoping the dreams will come true
Walking the way through endless fields
trying to make it together
??????????????????
????????????????????
And they will give anything
just to be free from the pain
and they won't surrender
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises
Lost in the city wondering why
no one will open the door
It's more to the truth than meets the eye
something they all felt before
And they will give anything
just to stand tall once again
and they won't surrender
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises
In the tan of the nigh can hear them crying
out for a life to hol on to
Somebody knows were the answers lying
wait for your trails and don't let go
Living in a world of promises
Living in a world of dreams and hopes
Living in a world of promises

Phantoms Of Death
There are phantoms here on earth who take away our lives
They kill your kids and they rape your wives
They rip your flesh tear your heart take you down to hell
They dont give a damn on any kind of life
Phantoms bring evil, destruction and death
Night after night the same old game
They all look so harmless but deep in their hearts
Satan is lurking, and he will break out
Always someone at your back only waiting to attack
Chorus phantoms of death, phantoms of death
The empire of deceivers is built upon your fear
Youll have to lose it cause the end is near
Warheads, armies stand to strike I know it isnt right
I wanna get out of here I dont wanna die
Infernal destruction of fire youll burn
Then youll be helpless but its not too late
Stand up right now and youll be the winner
Or satan will get you, take you forever
Genocide everywhere, wheres the saviour of this world
Chorus phantoms of death, phantoms of death
Where is he the promised saviour the one wholl save the earth
Perhaps hell come to bury us but then itll be too late
Who are they who are the phantoms who will end our lives
Its you and me, you and me open up your eyes
Phantoms bring evil, destruction and death
Night after night the same old game
They all look so harmless but deep in their hearts
Satan is lurking, and he will break out
We are all parasites of this world we shall die
Chorus phantoms of death, phantoms of death

Safest Place To Hide
It seems like yesterday when I said I do
And after all this time my heart still burns for you
If you dont know by now that youre my only one
Just take a look inside me and watch my heart strings come undone
I know I promised you forever
Is there no stronger word I can use?
To reassure you when the storm is raging outside
Youre my safest place to hide
Can you see me? Here I am
I need you like I needed you then
When I feel like giving up
I climb inside your heart and still find
Youre my safest place to hide
You see colors no one else can see
In every breath you hear a symphony
You understand me like nobody can
I feel my soul look for you like a flower blooming
When this whole world gets too crazy
And theres nowhere left to run
I know you give me sanctuary
Youre the only truth I know
Youre the road back home
Can you see me? Here I am
Standing here, where Ive always been
And when words are not enough
I climb inside your heart and still find
Youre my safest place to hide
I know I promised you forever
Theres no stronger word I can use
To reassure you when the storm is raging outside
Youre my safest place to hide
Can you see me? Here I am
Standing here, where Ive always been
When I feel like giving up
I climb inside your heart and still find
Youre my safest place to hide
Oh, yeah
Youre my safest place to hide

Promises
Remember how it used to be,
Remember how you promised me,
That life would always be good,
You forget the fact you lied to me,
You locked my heart and threw the key,
I'm so misunderstood,
What to say when all the words have gone,
Promises, promises,
What to do when all our thoughts have flown,
Promises, promises,
Remember how I gave my heart,
And all at once we fell apart,
Was I supposed to forgive you,
You forgot the fact you said to me,
That we were for eternity,
You're so easy to see through,
What to say when all the words have gone,
Promises, promises,
What to do when all our thoughts have flown,
Promises, promises,
Remember that I'm over you,
And know that I will make it through,
Hope you never forget it,
The promises you made to me,
Were really lies and fantasy,
Hope you come to regret it,
What to say when all the tears have dried,
Promises, promises,
What to think when all our love has died,
Promises, promises,
The promises we used to keep have gone,
And with them all the words,
That kept us both from seeing what was wrong,
The rest is silent, What to say when all the words have gone,
Promises, promises,
What to do when all our thoughts have flown,
Promises, promises,
What to say when all the tears have dried,
Promises, promises,
What to think when all our love has died,
Promises, promises.

Precious Promises
When this world tends to treat me terse,
There are precious promises I rehearse.
This world can be ugly at times,
Over years I've realized this world is not mine.
I'm Pilgrim just passing by,
And will not always live under this sky.
I have a palace set aside above,
Where there is a far greater worship and love.
Now here are daily trials and tribulation,
Anger, fear, guilt, and temptation.
My Lord's everlasting story, and eternal glory,
Just part of the precious promise story.
When you feel this world's foot on your throat,
And family and friends are seemly remote.
Rush beloved to His promises precious,
The scriptures are a place of peace and solace.
A place where I find challenge and comfort,
Soldier of blessing and encouragement are stalwart.
Stalwart where deserts sands dominate,
Without His precious promises, life would deflate.

Promises And Lies
All the sorrow and the pain
All the sacrifice in vain
I was much too blind to see
You make a loser out of me
You put me down for oh so long
While you sang your serpent's song
Chorus
The rest is history
You can do no more to me
I've been down so low
Had nowhere left to go
I could see it in your eyes
All your promises were lies
Promises and lies
Your cut was quick and deep
But then you thought you'd never need a friend
But all things change, and tides must turn
And you let all your bridges burn
Too many fatal wounds to heal
Chorus
The rest is history
You can do no more to me
I've been down so low
Had nowhere left to go
I could see it in your eyes
All your promises were lies
Promises and lies

Lamentation
Are we so worthless to the eye of god?
Have we done so much wrong?
For deserve life (as it is) .
Promises vanishing before my eyes
Apple eye.
Foolish snake, garden promises
Does he know? Suffer of creations?
Questions!
Should I believe, should I wait, should I close my ears on the killing of a child.
While you love, someone else dies.
Death is part of a man life; suffering is part of man time.
Like a designate tale, our time end.
It is hard to understand - imperfect mans.
Our eye, our heart, our minds are blind.
You may be rewarded one day.
Love is faith.
Sad reality, who know?
Fantasy of man.
A meaning for this life, a sense.
A lamentation of a sad man, for how the world is going to end

Life Goes On
(after love is gone)
? saying whats on your mind
Dont hold back think if it would be kind
Life goes on and on after love is gone
Dont bother now with apologise
No tear full of ? , no sad memories
Life goes on and on after love is gone
I never knew you although I tried
You always kept your feelings inside
All I needed was someone to confide,
Someone to be always by my side
No painful sins, no ? guys
No world full of excuses, no planed alibies
Life goes on and on after love is gone
I never knew you although I tried
You always kept your feelings inside
All I needed was someone to confide,
Someone to be always by my side
No ? ? to ?
When love is alive its not worth the while
Life goes on and on after love is gone
Life goes on and on (after love is gone)
Life goes on and on (after love is gone)
Life goes on and on (after love is gone)
Life goes on and on (after love is gone)
Life goes on and on (after love is gone)

Confide In Me
Written: paul anderson, dave seaman
Je suis loin de toi,
Je t'observe de loin,
Devrais-je te venir en aide,
Qu'importe qui tu es,
Nous sommes tous blesss en amour,
Et nous devons tous porter notre croix,
Mais au nom de la comprhension,
Un problme devrait tre partag,
Confide in me (fie toi moi)
Confide in me (fie toi moi)
Je peux garder un secret,
Et jeter la clef,
Quelques fois pour le lacher,
C'est pour librer nos enfants,
Nous sommes tous blesss en amour,
Et nous devons tous porter notre croix,
Mais au nom de la comprhension,
Un problme devrait tre partag,
Confide in me (fie toi moi)
Confide in me (fie toi moi)
Confide in me (fie toi moi)
Confide in me (fie toi moi)
Stick or twist,
The choice is yours,
Hit or miss,
What's mine is yours,
Stick or twist,
The choice is yours,
Hit or miss,
What's mine is yours,
Nous sommes tous blesss en amour,
Et nous devons tous porter notre croix,
Mais au nom de la comprhension,
Un problme devrait tre partag,
Confide in me (fie toi moi)
Confide in me (fie toi moi)
Confide in me (fie toi moi)
Confide in me (fie toi moi)

When The Princess Becomes The Dragon
Everything reminds me of you
Every song, every book, every hero to every story.
You could be the hero
You always try to be the hero
You could be my hero
The white knight at the end of my fairytale.
Could have: would be IF the princess wasn't the dragon.
Some people shouldn't be saved
Some people should only save.
Everything needs to be earned
So pardon me if I don't hand myself over to you.
Not that I'm worth all the work,
But it's become clear that I'm worth more than you're willing to pay.
I'm all closed up, no part of me is free.
And your empty promises aren't worth shit.
Those rushed excuses that always manage to put the blame on me for your stupid hurtful actions.
So, I'm sorry for all the shit I've dragged you through
So sorry for all the games.
Sorry that the princess became the dragon.
And I'm sorry that you couldn't be the hero this time.
But being the hero must be pretty hard when the knight becomes the dagger.

Famous

What in this world
Feel so alive
Makes us then breaks us
Then helps us survive
Buries our hopes then revives our desire to succeed
Or our greed
Who in this World
Sees when i cry
Throws me then shows me
That i'm justified
Measure my worth then decide that i'm not what
they need
They've agreed
Where in this world can i hide
where can i find
Someone that sees me inside
To confide
How in this world
Can i go on
Wondering if you'll think of me when i'm gone
Shielding my eyes from the pitiless light of the glare
Should you care
When in this world
is it enough
i never thought it could be quite this rough
Living my life as if millions of people don't stare
they're not there
Why should i have to defend or deride
Most of the rules of the game
i've defied
Though it's been hard on my pride
It's been one hell of a ride
Curiously
I didn't set out to be
Famous

The stars in the sky

The key in the lock
In vain
The sleeping mother
In vain
The lamp in the corner
In vain
The lamp in the corner unlit
In vain

In vain
The Aztec empire
In vain
The writing hand: in vain

Promises Made
(mark paul/john duarte)
You said goodbye
And broke this heart inside of me
Teardrops fell
Like hours to eternity
The room was silent
As some forgotten melody
Your words of steel
Still echo in my memory
Promises made, promises broken
Promises made, promises broken
I thought we had a chance
To really make it last
Now the future looks to me
Like some unwelcome guest
Ill be alright
As soon as I get over you
But this time it wont be
Such an easy thing to do
Promises made are
Promises broken
Caught up in the sorrow
Tangled in dreams
In the lonely hours
Of silent screams
In the heart of the darkness
I break down
I feel the spirit of you
All around
Promises made are
Promises broken
Promises made are
Promises broken

I Think That...(thoughts on words and promises)
Words… are so easy to say
Promises, ne’er so hard to keep
Words… easily written
Promises, not to be shallow or deep
Words…so effortlessly uttered
Promises, should never be broken
Words…so unthinkingly muttered
Promises, not given only in token
Words…so empty… so easy to say
Promises… never just idle notions
Words should be true in every way…and
Promises be pledges of devotions

Promises
Here by my side
Are you close enough to take me to your paradise
Or am I going down to my loneliness
Could you be loving me more or less
Do you know
Are you ready for the feeling
Can you learn to grow
Out in a world of fears we , were hanging on
We come together , we find , the sun
You all over me , all over
Youre the light
I am the love dont let me die away
I am forever we are born to make
Promises to be there
Promises to be there
Life, where the few may not ever find a heaven
I could be with you
Out in a world where nights they dont ever end
We got each other my love , my life, my friend
You all over me , all over
Youre the light
I am the love dont let me die away
I am forever we are born to make
Promises to love me
Promises to love me
Out in a world where nights they dont ever end
We got each other my love, my life, my friend
You all over me , all over
Youre the light
I am the love dont let me die away
We are forever we are born to make
Promises to be there
Promises to be there
I am the love dont let me die away
I am forever we are born to make
Promises to be there
