Bruce Dickinson - Tyranny Of Souls (2005) by Bruce Dickinson (보컬) on maniadb.com

Professor Quatermass, where are you?
Professor Quatermass, where are you?

Mankind returns to the stars
But sometimes the stars return to mankind

Didn't you come this way before
A million years ago?

Abduction


I wake in sweat you've come to steal my life away
Some strange electric glow of artifical day
The power breakers close, the grid of darkness falls
Shining gleaming black as night, burning all the light

[chorus:]
What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery...
There's something you won't ever find
So have your way with me, this prisoner is never free
Rip me up, leave me behind...

Are you the truth to sit in judgement on my sins
Evil laser gadgets come to penetrate my skin
The hanging judge is open and I'm damned before his eyes
Another genesis that failed - how many more have tried?

[chorus:]
What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery...
There's something you won't ever find
So have your way with me, this prisoner is never free
Rip me up, leave me behind...

[solo]

And so the story goes I dreamt this long ago
Highways hidden in the sand reveal the truths I know
They took my worthless heart and spat it through their eyes
Abduction means the end for me, a million years of misery

[chorus:]
What do you want from me?
I sense your mastery...
There's something you won't ever find
So have your way with me, this soldier's lost his victory
Rip me up, leave me behind...

Soul Intruders


We ride the cosmic streams of time
We are the fools you came to trust
We blind the eyes of history
We tear ourselves down from your cross

Half lives...
We live again...
Half lives...
Now we are one...

(chorus:)
We're the Soul Intruders
In the whirling void of night
We're the Soul Intruders
And we're crying for the light
We're the Soul Intruders
With no life of our own
I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne?

Solar winds have taken hold
Blowing us where we do not know
Existence silent and unknown
Father son and viral host

Half lives...
Eat but never kill...
Half lives...
We live as well...

(chorus:)
We're the Soul Intruders
In the whirling void of night
We're the Soul Intruders
And we're crying for the light
We're the Soul Intruders
With no life of our own
I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne?

(solo)

Half lives...
Eat but never kill...
Half lives...
We live as well...

(chorus:)
We're the Soul Intruders
In the whirling void of night
We're the Soul Intruders
And we're crying for the light
We're the Soul Intruders
With no life of our own
I'm a sole survivor, but who sits on my throne?

Kill Devil Hill


Blood brothers of angels now hear us,
We earthbound your offspring, don't fear us
God willing, we'll rise up, be near you
So open your arms now, and take us
So we're breathing our dreams, like the Icarus of old
The plans we made for the bold
In the blue-eyed beyond, there's nowhere to hide
There's no going back now

[chorus:]
As the wind whips over the hillside
20 knots over Kill Devil Hill
Steady wind blows over the sand
20 knots over Kill Devil Hill
As the breeze whips straight as an arrow
Let her go over Kill Devil Hill
Gasoline and wind in the wires
Kill Devil Hill and the way to the stars

We stand on this seashore and wonder
What madness, what secrets we plunder
All failure we learn from, discovery
The wreckage of heaven lies on the sand
First chance is abandoned
With wood string and wire we can barely control our desire
For destiny's arrows...

[chorus:]
As the wind whips over the hillside
20 knots over Kill Devil Hill
Steady wind blows over the sand
20 knots over Kill Devil Hill
As the breeze whips straight as an arrow
Let her go over Kill Devil Hill
Gasoline and wind in the wires
Kill Devil Hill and the way to the stars

Navigate The Seas Of The Sun


Distant earthrise long ago
Lingers at the borders of our minds
Mysteries spinning in the dark
In the frozen emptiness of time
We were lost and we never knew
Who we were, what we left behind
Living half lives we were blind
To the new frontiers that opened up our eyes

To find our minds were spinning
Souls entwined in a spiral dance
The ancient ways have found us again
To give us one last chance

Living in this place,
Staring into space we find
We might share the corners of our lives
Infinity runs deep,
Eternity that we can't keep
Melting through the frozen wastes of time

So we go and we'll not return
To navigate the seas of the Sun
Our children will go on and on
To navigate the seas of the Sun
So we go and we'll not return
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Our children will go on and on
To navigate the seas of the Sun

We can't go on tomorrow
Living death by gravity
Couldn't stand it anymore,
We'll sail our ships to distant shores

Purple, gold and blue,
Living colors every hue
Flowers in the garden of the gods
No one can ever know
If you never saw them grow
But this darkness is really full of light

[solo]

Well beyond the Earth,
Beyond all things that gave us birth
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
If God is throwing dice
And Einstein doesn't mind the chance
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Infinity runs deep,
Eternity that we can't keep
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Flowers of our souls
Purple, blue and gold we find
To navigate the seas of the Sun
So we know who we are
Even in this frozen waste
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Living in this place,
Staring into space we find
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Well beyond the Earth
Beyond all things that gave us birth
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
If Einstein's throwing dice,
And God he doesn't mind the chance
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Flowers of the soul
Purple blue and gold we find
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
And who we were before
Eternity that we can't keep
We'll navigate the seas of the Sun
Flowers of our souls
Purple blue and gold we find

River of No Return


Break the bread and drink the wine
Seize the chalice, suck the poison vine
There is frost in every sunbeam
Water flows from the earth to sky
Looking down on every rose
Nothing moves, the wheel of heaven turns
As our fingers leave their trace
We are gods in a world we dared embrace

[chorus:]
Now we're lost, you can’t disguise, the river of no return
Now it's time you realize, the river of no return

Glowing embers of our ancient lives
We struggle hard, we live to turn the tide
Living longer in the astral waste
We stare each other, we look death in the face
All my life, in front of you
Lonely secrets hidden from your view
Now we orbit a different sun
For eternity, doomed to tell no one

[chorus:]
Now we're lost, you can’t disguise, the river of no return
Now it's time you realize, the river of no return

[solo]

Now I'm truly all alone
Canyon walls and the river of no return
I'm amazed at what I am
I never knew the feelings I ignored

[extended chorus:]
Now we're lost, you can’t disguise, the river of no return
Now it's time we realize, the river of no return
And the anguish drives me on, I wish I could return
All the love that washed away
Down the river of no return

Power Of The Sun


Is this a citadel, is this a prison cell?
Who sits at my right hand now, who's watching me now?
Who made us live this way, when do I get my say
Automation turns us into human beings now

Tripping over faces, humanity has fallen
Huddled into doorways on the streets at dawn

[chorus:]
The power of the sun keeps us moving on
Spinning ever faster
The city never sleeps, the echoes of the footfalls
Already in the past

Every dawn arrives the gathering of the tribes
Shattered waves of people breaking over city walls
Never out of touch, but always on your own
Trapped inside the logic of your own communication zone

What deals have been done, who's under the gun
Stay one step ahead of the next in line

[chorus:]
The power of the sun, it keeps us moving on
Spinning ever faster
The city never sleeps, the echoes of the footfalls
Already in the past

[solo]

The cameras never lie, the ghost of you and I,
Already in the past
Inside a picture frame, we'll vanish once again
Now the dawn is coming fast...

[chorus:]
The power of the sun, it keeps us moving on
Spinning ever faster
The city never sleeps, the echoes of the footfalls
Already in the past

Devil On A Hog


You wanna know where legends live?
At the rainbow's end I’ll be there
There’s a place in inner space
That’s where I'll get to you
I’m not the shy retiring kind
Like a supernova for the blind
I used to sit at God's right hand
But I quit that show to do my one night stands

Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider...

[chorus:]
You won’t see my face no more
My machine has left the floor
Leave my rivals in the dirt
I've seen your world and I got the shirt
Before I leave and go my way
I've loved it but I couldn’t stay
There’s nothing left for you to feel
Just remember me...

You might see me in Tokyo
To the rings of Saturn hey... let's go
And you can trip all the lights with me
But your one time chance is never free
I'll see you baby once again
Maybe 3 score years and ten
I’ll be driving a different ship
That's when I'll take you down, for your final trip

Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider...

[chorus:]
You won’t see my face no more
My machine has left the floor
Leave my rivals in the dirt
I've seen your world and I got the shirt
Before I leave and go my way
I've loved it but I couldn’t stay
There’s nothing left for you to feel
Just remember me...

[solo]

Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider...
Coming outta nowhere I'm a Godhead rider...

[chorus:]
You won’t see my face no more
My machine has left the floor
Leave my rivals in the dirt
I've seen your world and I got the shirt
Before I leave and go my way
I've loved it but I couldn’t stay
There’s nothing left for you to feel
Just remember me...

Believil


Smoking, resting on its grave
The carcass rusting where it lies
No more truth, no honest games
The serpent writhes within us all
Lava streams of molten flesh
Into their mountain homes retire
Now sleeping eyes of death awake
Your drug of choice, truth or lie

[chorus:]
I believe you and me
I believe evil
I believe you will see
I believe evil

What does not kill it
Makes it strong
The carcass stirs
It will not die
It feeds on you
It feeds on me
I know his name
You know mine too

[chorus:]
I believe you and me
I believe evil
I believe you will see
I believe evil

[instrumental part]

[chorus:]
I believe you and me
I believe evil
I believe you will see
I believe evil

When Shall We Three Meet Again?
And Thunder Lighting All In Rain
When The Hurly-Burley's done
When The Battle's Lost Not One

A Tyranny of Souls. That Love Has Lost
A Tyranny of Souls appear to coast
Speaking Times of fire
Enflaming the desires
Watching as we die ?

Who rips The Child out From the Womb?
Raised the Dead Who Plays the Chum
And The Crack of Doom on Judgment Day
No Ocean Could Wash My Sins Away

A Tyranny of Souls. That Love Has Lost
A Tyranny of Souls appear to coast
Speaking Times of fire
Enflaming the desires
Watching as we die on our own Cross
A Tyranny of Souls?

We Are the Black Space, We Are the Black Light
We Shine When the Earle's dare


Killing My Head with the Neon
Stabbing My Fate with A reason
Nobody's Around a Stranger to My Life

Tears of the Faithful, sins of bet radial

Having A needle to my hand
Anger is foolering My Land
I am the Killer of Witness in My Head

We are the Black Light, We Are the Black Space

A Tyranny of Souls. That Love Has Lost
A Tyranny of Souls appear to coast
Speaking Times of fire
Enflaming the desires
Watching as we die on our own Cross?

A Tyranny of Souls. That Love Has Lost
A Tyranny of Souls appear to coast
Speaking Times of fire
Enflaming the desires
Watching as we die?
