The Apparition

[Verse 1] Now I'm here, can you see me? 'Cause I'm out on my own When the room goes cold Tell me you can feel me... 'cause I'm here Here I am, can you see me? Passing through, on my way To a place I'd been to Only in my dreams... before [Verse 2] In a world of delusion Never turn your back on a friend 'Cause you can count your Real true friends on one hand... through life There are those that deceive you There are those that'll let you down Is there someone out there that Would die for you? ...Thought not [Verse 3] Live your life with a passion Everything you do, do well You only get out of life What you put in... so they say In a world of confusion People never say what they mean If you want a straight answer Go look for one... right now [Verse 4] In a room full of strangers Do you stand with your back to the wall? Do you sometimes feel like you're On the outside... looking in? You can make your own luck You create your destiny I believe you have the power If you want to... It's true [Guitar Solo: Janick Gers] [Guitar Solo: Dave Murray] [Verse 5] You can do what you want to If you try a little bit harder A little bit of faith Goes a long way... it does Are we here for a reason? I'd like to know just what you think It would be nice to know what happens When we die... wouldn't it? [Verse 6] There are some who are wise There are some who are born naive I believe that there are some that must Have lived before... don't you? As for me, well, I'm thinking You gotta keep an open mind But I hope that my life's not An open-and-shut case [Verse 7] Extrasensory perception Life after death, telepathy Can the soul live on and travel Through space and time? You know I feel so elated 'Cause I'm about to find it out And when I know all the answers Maybe then I'll come back... to fill you in [Outro] You don't be alarmed now If I try to contact you If things go missing Or get moved around... it's me And don't disbelieve it No matter what your "friends" might say We'll meet up again someplace Some way... one day
