Music From The Elder Lyrics
Words and Music by Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin, and Tony Powers
Like the blade of a sword, I am forged in flames, fiery hot!
Tempered steel fired bright to the night ahead. I fear not!
Now, propelled by somethin' that I cannot see,
I go forward, surrenderin' to history.
Your glory. I swear an Oath for thee.
Your power. I trust it watching me.
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be.
Through a dream, I have come to an ancient road lost in the mist.
I have been there a hundred times or more, pounding my fist!
Now, inside, the "Fire Of the Ancients" burns.
A boy walks in and suddenly a man returns.
Your glory. I swear an Oath for thee.
Your power. I trust it watching me.
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be.
INSTRUMENTAL
I gave my word. You gave the key. I gave my heart and you set it free.
There's no turnin' back from this odyssey 'cause I feel so alive, suddenly,
an', I wanna know: Is this really me?
Like the blade of a sword, I am forged in flames, fiery hot!
Tempered steel fired bright to the night ahead. I fear not!
Now, propelled by somethin' that I cannot see,
I go forward, surrenderin' to history.
Your glory. I swear an Oath for thee.
Your power. I trust it watching me.
Your servant, I am and ever shall I be.

Who stears the ship through the stormy sea?
If hope is lost then, so are we.
While some might search for one to guide us,
some are staring at me...
but, I'm no hero though, I wish I could be.
Oh, I am Just A Boy, too young to be sailing.
I am Just A Boy and my future is unveiling
and, I'm so frightened, I can't eat.

Look out! 'Cause there's something wrong (and you don't know what it is).
Watch out! Or it's Soddom and Ghamorha (The malevolent order).
Right now! Before it's much too late. Before it's much too late!
A Dark Light a darkness never ending.
A Dark Light the Devil gets his due.
A Dark Light is ev'rywhere descending.
A Dark Light is coming for you!
Now, look up! All the skies are black (and they're gettin' darker all the time.).
Watch out, for the things that you believe in (You're gonna be attacked and you won't know what it is.).
Wise up! You better watch your step. You better watch your step!
A Dark Light a darkness never ending.
A Dark Light of perversion and hate.
A Dark Light is ev'rywhere descending.
A Dark Light there's no time to wait!
INSTRUMENTAL
Look out for the deaf'ning drums (There won't be no more war).
Watch out 'cause there's some things you aren't foolin' (Who do you think you're foolin'?).
Shout it out! There's a terrible thing. Such a terrible thing.
A Dark Light a darkness never ending.
A Dark Light The sun is turning cool.
A Dark Light is ev'rywhere descending.
A Dark Light is shining at you.
A Dark Light a darkness never ending.
A Dark Light of perversion and hate.
A Dark Light is ev'rywhere descending.
A Dark Light there's no time to wait!
Words and Music by Gene Simmons
Only You have the answers but, the questions, you have to find.
Only You know the secrets but, the truth lies deep in your mind.
Only You are the answer. You turn the night into day.
Only You are the man-child. You are the light and you are the way.
Tell me the secret. I wanna know.
Tell me the secret. I wanna know. I wanna know.
Only You are the man-child. You are the light and you are the way.
I can't believe this is true. Why do I listen to you?
And, if I am all that you say, why am I still so afraid?
Only You! Only You! Only You!
In ev'ry age, in ev'ry time,
a hero is born, as if, by a grand design.
Words and Music by Eric Carr and Gene Simmons
Though you may be pure of heart and free of sin,
and, though you have been chosen to begin,
and, yet, you must be worthy of the prophecy,
but, seek and you shall find your destiny.
Knowing this will harm you, will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath? Will you live your life Under The Rose?
The more you hurt, the less you feel the pain.
And, the more you change, the more you stay the same.
But, now, before you, lies a quest at hand
and, from this war, you may become a man.
Do you understand? Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath? Will you live your life Under The Rose?
INSTRUMENTAL
Loneliness will haunt you. Will you sacrifice?
Do you take the oath? Will you live your life Under The Rose?
Words and Music by Paul Stanley, Bob Ezrin, Larry Reed, and Gene Simmons
A World Without Heroes is like a world without sun.
You can't look up to anyone without heroes.
A World Without Heroes is like a never ending race...
is like a time without a place...a pointless thing devoid of grace.
Where you don't know what you're after
or if somethin's after you
an' you don't know why you don't know in A World Without Heroes.
In a world without dreams, things are no more than they seem.
A World Without Heroes is like a bird without wings
or a bell that never rings; just a sad and useless thing.
Where you don't know what you're after
or if somethin's after you
an' you don't know why you don't know
INSTRUMENTAL
A World Without Heroes is nothing to be. It's no place for me...
Words and Music by Gene Simmons and Larry Reed
I never said I was more than I am.
Do what you want. I don't give a damn.
You're oh, so weak, you know, it makes me ill.
Don't like you now and prob'bly never will.
You cheat and lie and wonder why you can't sleep at ni-y-ight.
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell and we can tell.
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell. Why don't you go to hell?
I am a sinner who just loves to sin.
I am a fighter who just loves to win.
I am the truth about this crummy hole.
There's nothing here that can't be bought or sold.
You're cold and mean and in-between, you're rotten to the core.
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell and we can tell.
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell. Why don't you go to hell?
You're a victim; a real disgrace.
You should be banished from the human race.
INSTRUMENTAL
We'll drink to sorrow then, we'll drink to waste.
We'll drink a toast to the in-human race.
Here's to the world and the times we're in.
Here's to the king, a real man among men.
You're cold and mean and in-between, you're rotten to the core.
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell and we can tell.
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell. Why don't you go to hell?
You're not well, Mr. Blackwell. Why don't you go to hell?

Words and Music by Tony Powers
From a far-off galaxy, I hear you callin' me.
Me, I'm on an Odyssey.
Through the realms of time and space, in that enchanted place,
you and I come face to face.
Once upon...not yet. Won't announce our pain.
Countless times we met; met along the way.
Through the luminescent night, on beams of neon light,
you and I in brilliant light.
As we cross the starry sea, powered by what we see,
now and then, the victory.
Once upon...not yet. Won't announce our pain.
Countless times we met; met along the way.
There's a child in a sundress looking at a rainy sky.
There's a place in a desert where an ocean once danced by.
There's a song in the silence weaving in and out of time.
We are notes in the music searching for remembered rhymes.
INSTRUMENTAL
On a mountain high, somewhere, where only heroes dare,
stand the stallion and the mare.
We have been and we shall be each other's destiny;
One another's Odyssey.
Once upon...not yet. Won't announce our pain.
Countless times we met; met along the way.
Words and Music by Gene Simmons and Bob Ezrin
I was so frightened, I almost ran away.
I didn't know that I could do anything I needed to.
Then, a bolt of light'nin' hit me on my head.
Then I began to see I just needed to believe in me.
I believe in me.
I believe in somethin' more than you can understand.
Yes,I believe in me.
I believe in me.
I believe in somethin' more than you can understand.
Yes, I believe in me. Listen!
They said I didn't stand a chance. I wouldn't win, no way.
Well, I've got news for you: there's nothin' I can't do.
There's no pretendin'. Ain't no make-believe.
Well, I've got to be the one. I've got to do what must be done.
I believe in me.
I believe in somethin' more than you can understand.
Yes,I believe in me.
I believe in me.
I believe in somethin' more than you can understand.
Yes, I believe in me!
Yes, I believe in me!

I don't need no money. I don't need no fame. No!
I just need to believe in me and I know, most definately:
Don't need to get wasted. It only holds me down.
I just need a will of my own and the balls to stand alone.
I believe in me.
I believe in somethin' more than you can understand.
Yes,I believe in me.
I believe in me.
I believe in somethin' more than you can understand.
Yes, I believe in me!
Yes, I believe in me!
Yes, I believe in me!
Yes, I believe in me!
