STRATOVARIUS LYRICS

1. Maniac Dance

This year has been a nightmare
I've been so low, I don't care
I've dwelled in depths of darkness
Swam across the ocean of pain
I've fed the tabloids, the media
It's a bottomless pit, a redia
Front pages, gossips, knifings, drunken nights and days

Sadness, rage, hopelessnes
I am nothing without you

Again the dance
I do the maniac dance
Just like in trance
I do the maniac dance

This demon serves me well
It wants to send me to the depths of hell
A roller coaster ride it has been I can't tell
I'm a walking miracle of medicine
A real catastrophe on legs
A proud member of human race known as the dregs

Xanax, Remeron, Therapy, Buspiron
Anger, Fear and Shame

Again the dance
I do the maniac dance
Just like in trance
I do the maniac dance

2. United

Drifted apart on the sea of life
Sailing to new horizons out of sight
We lost the way, we lost the key
But the spirit was kept alive and free

United we stand
Divided we fall
Our destiny's here tonight with you all
Through wind and thunder we sail to your shore
We will not give up so open the door

Cause we're united
We stand united

It's good to look in the eyey of a friend
And shake his hand and thank him for the years
And it's great to see you all here
Together again calling you

United we stand
Divided we fall
Our destiny's here tonight with you all
Through wind and thunder we sail to your shore
We will not give up so open the door

United we stand
Divided we fall
The sun is shining for each and for all
The future is brighter
There's hope in the air
Together we're singing together we dare

3. Maniac Dance (Risto Asikainen Quantum Mix)

This year has been a nightmare
I've been so low, I don't care
I've dwelled in depths of darkness
Swam across the ocean of pain
I've fed the tabloids, the media
It's a bottomless pit, a redia
Front pages, gossips, knifings, drunken nights and days

Sadness, rage, hopelessnes
I am nothing without you

Again the dance
I do the maniac dance
Just like in trance
I do the maniac dance

This demon serves me well
It wants to send me to the depths of hell
A roller coaster ride it has been I can't tell
I'm a walking miracle of medicine
A real catastrophe on legs
A proud member of human race known as the dregs

Xanax, Remeron, Therapy, Buspiron
Anger, Fear and Shame

Again the dance
I do the maniac dance
Just like in trance
I do the maniac dance
