These recordings were never released on LP or CD until 1997 (in cause of financial problems of the band).

3. Victims Of The Night
(Craig, Neal, Thomas)
+++++++++++++++++++++++
"Sometimes the music business and being on the road can suck the
life out of you. It's a double edge sword. It's a life you sometimes
hate to love and love to hate. But you wouldn't trade it for anything.
The fans keep you going."
Can you feel the fire in my veins, there's hunger in my heart
There's a raging battle in my mind, it's almost torn apart
I've got no hesitations, I'd do it all again
This is the life I've chosen, we love to feel the pain of the night
It's time to rock once more, we're victims of the night
On a deadly metal tour
So this is what you wanted, I'm screaming out for you
I love the way you look at me, you know I want you too
The life I lead could break me, could take me under
I know you're out there waiting, for the thunder of the night
And like the thunders roar, we're victims of the night
Coming through your door...(and here we come!!)
Do you know what I'm feeling, does anyone really care
My open wounds are bleeding, for all of you who stare
So now I've come to scare you, tease you, make you need
Feel my empty heart beat, a man destroyed by greed
A victim of the night...
And who knows what's in store, for victims of the night
And I can't take no more...No!
We are victims...we are victims...of the...night
4. No Place
(Neal, Craig, Thomas)
+++++++++++
"Dorothy wasn't just whistlin' dixie...(the stage is our home)"
Yesterday, another town, but that's another story
And who knows what tomorrow, may have planned for me
But tonight, I'm standing here, proud and strong
So speed up those long nights, and we'll come home...
There's no place, when I'm far away
I Can't love you, tonight I'm alone
There's no place, I wish I could stay
'Cause I know, there's no place like home
I pack my bags, and start the tour, and head out into the morning
So far away, I miss you babe, now I'm alone and feeling sorry
Yes, tonight, I'll stand alone, on another stage far away
Wishing I could be there with you just like yesterday cause...
There's no place, when it's hurting like this
And I need you, can't stand it alone
There's no place, it's you that I miss when I'm gone
There's no place like home
Now I'm missing you, wanting you
And I know it's not meant to be
Wish I was holding you, I remember, too
The way you were holding me... I'm coming home!
There's no place, when it's hurting like this
And I need you, can't stand it alone
There's no place, it's you that we miss when we're gone
There's no place like...
No place, when I'm far away
I can't love you, tonight I'm alone
There's no place, I wish I could stay
'Cause I know, there's no place like home
There's no place like home (3x)
5. Rest In Piece
(Craig, Thomas)
++++++++++++++++
"Sometimes true stories are stranger than fiction, the "news" can
be very inspiring to a songwriter..."
I can see you lying in the ground beyond the gates
I've witnessed violence and I've seen the ones you hate
They cut you, they beat you, raped you into your grave
They let you die and watched you scream, on that bloody day
Rest in piece... just sitting there screaming!
Rest in piece... no, you're not dreaming!
Rest in piece... they cut you all apart!
Rest in piece... ripped out your beating heart
I know the torment and the pain that you must feel
Stuck a knife into your body, a nightmare that is real
When you sleep, you'll never wake, they cut your life away
A corpse inside a body bag, a dead man you will stay
Rest in piece... just sitting there screaming!
Rest in piece... no, you're not dreaming!
Rest in piece... they cut you all apart!
Rest in piece... ripped out your beating heart
Rest in piece... just sitting there screaming!
Rest in piece... no, you're not dreaming!
Rest in piece... they cut you all apart!
Rest in piece... ripped out your beating heart
You die!!!
6. Candy Caine
(Craig, Neal, Thomas)
++++++++++++++
"If only everyone could resist her..."
You think she's pure as snow, she's really cold as ice
She knows things you don't know, cut her once and pay the price
She'll take you over, like no woman before
You can't escape, there is no cure
Candy Caine, is she your lover
You're true to her, no other
She holds you tight, she'll never let you go
Candy Caine, will take control of you
She finds you all alone, no lust, to get you by
Don't worry, she'll play your game, and then she'll make you die
You need her more than ever, give what ever it takes
You've had enough, but you can't escape
Candy Caine, is she your lover
You're true to her, no other
She holds you tight, she'll never let you go
Candy Caine, will take control again
When will it end? When will it end?
No Candy Caine is not my lover
Not true to her or any other
She came to me, and I let her go
Now Candy Caine, will never have control of me
Candy Caine is not my lover
Not true to her or any other
She came to me, and I let her go
Now Candy Caine, will never have control
Candy Caine, it's time to let you go
Candy Caine, just stay away from me
Candy Caine, just get away from me...
7. Nightmares
(Thomas, Neal)
+++++++++++++
Don't fall asleep...you never know who'll you meet
You feel it creep inside you, when you're alone at night
It's got you in it's grip, it chills you with it's fright
You wish that you could wake up, you know that this ain't true
This dream that's got you captured, this thing inside of you
Nightmares, inside you, crying out in fear
Danger, will find you, nightmares are here
You can't wake up from this one, it's got you from within
A night of pain and torment, now the horrors can begin
Creatures in the darkness, reach out and hold you back
You can't escape from nightmares you can't stop the attack! No!
Nightmares, inside you, crying out in fear
Danger, will find you, nightmares are here
Nightmares, inside you, crying out in fear
Danger, will find you, nightmares are here
Nightmares, inside you, crying out in fear
Danger, will find you, nightmares are here
8. Angel
