We all have secret lives
In our secret rooms, Living in our movies, humming our own tunes Living life in camera, When the night is closing down, Sliding into darkness, You could be like me Where are you going? What are you doing? Why are you looking at the cameras eye? Where are you staying? Why are you leaving? We watch you breathing through the cameras eye We all make-up our faces The make-up of the clown, Happy leaving traces, Of our childish background, Pointing at the sky, We can watch the stars You think you're all alone, But you never are... Where are you going? What are you doing? Why are you looking at the cameras eye? Where are you staying? Why are you leaving? We watch you breathing through the cameras eye They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now They ain't watching you, they ain't watching you now Where are you going? What are you doing? Why are you looking at the cameras eye? Political sleazes, Sexual divas, We watch your heart beating through the cameras eye Where are you going? What are you doing? Why are you looking at the cameras eye? Political sleazes, Sexual divas, We watch your heart beating through the cameras eye |

With a sense of irony everyone you see is chasing their illusion
Take a dive or sink or swim, but in the end you're in the same pollution In your world escape is swift, the nonsense list is all you need to know In the land of dreams, you make the right connections, then you'll be the hero Ecstasy, the cult of me provides our institutions You can live forever besides a grave that stands where people used to function You can join the saviours of our culture, vultures circling overhead my sky Like the sin of gluttony won't set you free, but Betty Ford can help you try You can get all the things you never needed You can sell people crap and make them eat it Where is our John Wayne Where is our sacred cowboys now? Where are the indians on the hill There's no indians left to kill People die with oxygen and all their money can afford a breath People starving everywhere and staring in the face of death Prostitutes and politicians laying in their beds together You can be the saviour of the poor making up the policies to open the back door...

For too long now
There were secrets in my mind For too long now There were things I should have said In the darkness, I was stumbling for the door To find a reason, to find the time, the place, the hour Waiting for the winter sun, and the cold light of day The misty ghosts of childhood fears The pressure is building and I can't stay away I throw myself into the sea Release the wave, let it wash over me To face the fear, I once believed The tears of the dragon, for you and for me Where I was I had wings that couldn't fly Where I was I had tears I couldn't cry My emotions, frozen in an iced lake I couldn't feel them, until the ice began to break I have no prayer over this, you know I'm afraid The walls I built are crumbling The water is moving, I'm slipping away I throw myself into the sea Release the wave, let it wash over me To face the fear, I once believed The tears of the dragon, for you and for me Slowly I awake Slowly I rise The walls I built are crumbling The water is moving, I'm slipping away I throw myself into the sea Release the wave, let it wash over me To face the fear, I once believed The tears of the dragon, for you and for me I throw myself into the sea Release the wave, let it wash over me To face the fear, I once believed The tears of the dragon, for you and for me... |

In the courtyard, clothed in fear I see gates that are opening There's only one way out of here Daylight has gone The night has come... See his twisted sons and daughters Writhing slowly in Satan's mire If you only could see the visions The trembling world I now despise As the veil reveals the outer darkness I am sucked into the halls of flame... Arise, awake The king in crimson comes Arise, awake The king in crimson, crimson comes He knows the weakness that you can't fight The stone of night that weighs you down If you only could see the visions His hand is death if you take it now As you scream into the web of silence There is nothing that can save you now. Arise, awake, The king in crimson comes Arise, awake, The king in crimson comes Arise, awake, The king in crimson comes Arise, awake, The king in crimson, crimson comes As you scream into the web of silence There is nothing that can save you now...

The burning sweat of poison tears The river flowing red with blood The cradle-robbing hand of death Caresses every dreaming head Waiting for the marriage hearse To take you to the funeral pyre So you burn the family tree The generations burning higher Stand inside the temple As the book of Thel is opening The priestess stands before you Offering her hand out, she's rising Come the dawning of the dead In famine and in war Now the harlot womb of death Spits out its rotten core By the pricking of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes And when sleep takes you tonight Will you wake to see the light By the dawning of the dead...

Ship of white light in the sky, nobody there to reason why. Here I am, I'm not really there, smiling faces ever so rare. A let's walk in deepest space, living here just isn't the place. Stalks of light come from the ground, when I cry there isn't a sound. All my feelings cannot be held, I'm happy in my new strange world. Shades of green grasses twine, girls drinking plasma wine. A look at love, a dream unfolds, living here, you'll never grow old. Don't you hear me call? Ooh |

Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul. You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call. Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait. Don't you stray, don't fade away. Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may. Don't you stray, from the narrow way. I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there. You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare. You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air. Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair. |

The only place where you can dream, living here is not what it seems.
Ship of white light in the sky, nobody there to reason why. Here I am, I'm not really there, smiling faces ever so rare. A let's walk in deepest space, living here just isn't the place. Stalks of light come from the ground, when I cry there isn't a sound. All my feelings cannot be held, I'm happy in my new strange world. Shades of green grasses twine, girls drinking plasma wine. A look at love, a dream unfolds, living here, you'll never grow old. Don't you hear me call? Ooh |

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're
saying? Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're giving. Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after? Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all the laughter? *Charlotte the Harlot show me your legs, Charlotte the Harlot take me to bed. Charlotte the Harlot let me see blood, Charlotte the Harlot let me see love. Taking so many men to your room, don't you feel no remorse? You charge them a "fiver", It's only for starters. And ten for the main course. And you've got no feelings, they died long ago. Don't you care who you let in? And don't you know you're breaking the law with the service you're giving. * Repeat There was a time when you left me standing there, Picking up pieces of love off the floor. Well Charlotte you left me alone in there, To make your ends as a bloody whore. Well Charlotte you told me you love me true, Picking up pieces of love yesterday. Well Charlotte you're draws are off color too 'Cause you're making love all day. Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're saying? Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're giving. Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're after? Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all the laughter? * Repeat |

Won't you come into my room, I wanna show you all my wares.
I just want to see your blood, I just want to stand and stare. See the blood begin to flow as it falls upon the floor. Iron Maiden can't be faught, Iron Maiden can't be sought. Oh Well, wherever, wherever you are, Iron Maiden's gonna get you, no matter how far. See the blood flow watching it shed up above my head. Iron Maiden wants you for dead.

Maybe one day I'll be an honest man
Up till now I'm doing the best I can Long roads, long days, of sunrise, to sunset Sunrise to sunset Dream on brothers, while you can Dream on sister, I hope you find the one All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time Spend your days full of emptiness Spend your years full of loneliness Wasting love, in a desperate caress Rolling shadows of nights Dream on brothers, while you can Dream on sisters, I hope you find the one All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time Sands are flowing and the lines are in your hand In your eyes I see the hunger, and the desperate cry that tears the night |

Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with The slaughter of innocence But I will pray for her I will call her name out loud I would bleed for her If only I could see her now Living on a razors edge Balancing on a ledge Living on a razors edge The evil that men do lives on and on..... The evil that men do lives on and on..... The evil that men do lives on and on..... The evil that men do lives on and on..... Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me But I will pray for you And some day I may return Don't you cry for me Beyond is where I learn |

Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat
from my brow But it's not the fear 'cos I'd rather go now Trying to visualize the horrors that will lay ahead The desert sand mound a burial ground When it comes to the time Are we partners in crime? When it comes to the time We'll be ready to die God let us go now and finish what's to be done Thy Kingdom Come Thy shall be done... on earth Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go Should we live and let live Forget or forgive But how can we let them go on this way? The reign of terror corruption must end And we know deep down there's no other way No trust, no reasoning, no more to say Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers |

I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road At night or strolling through the park When the light begins to change I sometimes feel a little strange A little anxious when it's dark Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Have you run your fingers down the wall And have you felt your neck skin crawl When you're searching for the light? Sometimes when you're scared to take a look At the corner of the room You've sensed that something's watching you Have you ever been alone at night Thought you heard footsteps behind And turned around and no one's there? And as you quicken up your pace You find it hard to look again Because you're sure there's someone there Watching horror films the night before Debating witches and folklores The unknown troubles on your mind Maybe your mind is playing tricks You sense, and suddenly eyes fix On dancing shadows from behind Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there When I'm walking a dark road I am a man who walks alone |

Is it me or is it shadows that are Dancing on the walls Is this a dream or is it now Is this a vision or normality I see Before my eyes I wonder why I wonder how That it seems the powers getting stronger Every day I feel a strength an inner fire But I'm scared I won't be able to control it anymore There's a time to live and a time to die When it's time to meet the maker There's a time to live but isn't it strange That as soon as you're born you're dying Just by looking through your eyes He could see the future penetrating right In through your mind See the truth and see your lies But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise There's a time to live and a time to die When it's time to meet the maker There's a time to live but isn't it strange That as soon as you're born you're dying... ... and reborn again? |

Can't understand what is happening to me,
This isn't real, this is only a dream, But I never have felt, no I never have felt this way before, I'm looking down on my body below, I lie asleep in the midst of a dream, Is it now could it be that the angel of death has come for me? I can't believe that really my time has come, I don't feel ready, there's so much left undone, And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it get away. *Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait til another day. *Reapeat I have a lust for the Earth below And Hell itself is my only foe, 'Cause I've no fear of dying, I'll go when I'm good and ready, I snatch a glimpse of the light's eternal rays, I see a tunnel, I stand amazed, At all of the people standing there in front of me, Into the paths of rightness I'll be led, Is this the place where the living join the dead? I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare. *Repeat (x2) Take my hand, I'll lead you to the promised land, Take my hand, I'll give you immortality, Eternal youth, I'll take you to the other side, To see the truth, the path for you is decided. Oh Oh * lots. My body tingles, I feel so strange, I feel so tired, I feel so drained, And I'm wondering if I'll ever be the same again, Is this in limbo or in Heaven or Hell? Maybe I'm going down there as well, I can't accept my soul will drift forever. I feel myself floating back down to Earth, So could this be the hour of my rebirth? Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming? *Repeat |

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas,
I'm travelling on, far and wide, But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself, And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else. I close my eyes, and think of home, Another city goes by, in the night, Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away, And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day. So understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years, Face up...make your stand, And realise you're living in the golden years. Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind, Can't ease this pain, so easily, When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day, And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky. So understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years, Face up...make your stand, And realise you're living in the golden years. |

Out in the street somebody's crying,
Out in the night the fires burn, Maybe tonight somebody's crying, Reached the point of no return. Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe, Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave. Like the eagle and the dove, Fly so high on wings above, When all you see can only bring you sadness, Like a river we will flow, On towards the sea we go, When all you do can only bring you sadness, Out on the sea of madness. Somewhere I hear a voice that's calling, Out in the dark there burns a dream, You got to hope when you are falling, To find the world that you have seen. Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe, Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave. Like the eagle and the dove, Fly so high on wings above, When all you see can only bring you sadness, Like a river we will flow, On towards the sea we go, When all you do can only bring you sadness, Out on the sea of madness. It's madness, The sun don't shine On the sea of madness, There ain't no wind to fill your sails, Madness, When all you see can only bring you sadness On towards the sea we go... |

Was many years ago that I left home and came this way,
I was a young man full of hopes and dreams, But now it seems to me that all is lost and nothing gained, Sometimes things ain't what they seem, No brave new world, no brave new world, No brave new world, no brave new world. Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky, My spirit wanders endlessly, Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why, Hear me calling, rescue me, Set me free, set me free, Lost in this place and leave no trace. Stranger in a strange land, Land of ice and snow, Trapped here in this prison, yeah! Lost and far from home. One hundred years have gone and men again they came that way, To find the answer to the mystery, They found his body lying where it fell on that day, Preserved in time for all to see, No brave new world, no brave new world, Lost in this place, and leave no trace. Stranger in a strange land, Land of ice and snow, Trapped here in this prison, yeah! Lost and far from home. |

When you see familiar faces,
But you don't remember where they're from, Could you be wrong? When you've been particular places, That you know you've never been before, Can you be sure? 'Cause you know this has happened before, And you know that this moment in time is for real, And you know when you feel Deja vu. Feel like I've been here before, Feel like I've been here before. Ever had a conversation, That you realise you've had before, Isn't it strange? Have you ever talked to someone, And you feel you know what's coming next? It feels pre-arranged. 'Cause you know that you've heard it before, And you feel that this moment in time is surreal, 'Cause you know when you feel deja-vu. |

It's snowing outside the rumbling sound of engines roar in the night, The mission is near the confident men are waiting to drop from the sky. The Blizzard goes on but still they must fly No one should go where eagles dare. Bavarian alps that lay all around they seem to stare from below, The enemy lines a long time passed are lying deep in the snow. Into the night they fall through the sky No one should fly where eagles dare. They're closing in the fortress is near it's standing high in the sky, The cable car's the only way in it's really impossible to climb. They make their way but maybe too late They've got to try to save the day. The panicking cries the roaring of guns are echoing all round the valley, The mission complete they make to escape away from the Eagles Nest. They dared to go where no one would try they chose to fly where eagles dare.

"O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, But take away our pride." (G. K. Chesterton; English Hymnal) Just a babe in the black abyss, No reason for a place like this, The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain, An easy way for the blind to go, A clever path for the fools who know the Secret of the Hanged Man-the smile on his lips. The light of the Blind-you'll see, The venom that tears my spine, The Eyes of the Nile are opening-you'll see. She came to me with a serpent's kiss, As the Eye of the Sun Rose on her lips, Moonlight catches silver tears I cry, So we lay in the black embrace, And the Seed is sown in a holy place And I watched, and I waited for the dawn. The light of the Blind-you'll see, The venom that tears my spine, The Eyes of the Nile are opening-you'll see. Bind all of us together, Ablaze with Hope and Free, No storm or heavy weather Will rock the boat you'll see. The time has come to close your eyes And still the wind and rain, For the one who will be King Is the Watcher in the Ring, It is You. |

As the sun breaks, above the ground,
An old man stands on the hill, As the ground warms, to the first rays of light A birdsong shatters the still. His eyes are ablaze, See the madman in his gaze. Fly, on your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun, On your way, like an eagle, Fly and touch the sun. Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears Looks the old man in the eye As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd In the name of God my father I fly. His eyes seem so glazed As he flies on the wings of a dream, Now he knows his father betrayed Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave. Fly, on your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun, On your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun. |

Another prophet of disaster Who says the ship is lost Another prophet of disaster Leaving you to count the cost Taunting us with visions Afflicting us with fear Predicting war for millions In the hope that one appears No point asking when it is No point asking whos to go No point asking whats the game No point asking whos to blame cos if youre gonna die, if youre gonna die cos if youre gonna die, if youre gonna die If youre gonna die, die with your boots on If youre gonna try, just stick around Gonna cry, just move along If youre gonna die, youre gonna die In 13 the beast is rising The frenchman did surmise Through earthquakes and starvation The warlord will arise Terror, death, destruction Pour from the eastern sands But the truth of all predictions Is always in your hands If youre gonna die, die with your boots on If youre gonna try, just stick around Gonna cry, just move along If youre gonna die, youre gonna die

You'll take my life
but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand there's no turning back The Bugle sounds and the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath As I plunge on into certain death Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh The horse he sweats with fear we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the Russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We won't live to fight another day Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh We get so close near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |

Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me Can't you see them it's plain for all to see They were there oh I know you don't believe me. Oh...I've never felt so strange But...I'm not going insane. I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head You don't say but it's in your eyes instead Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool Something draws me there I don't know what to do. Oh...they drain my strength away Oh...they're asking me to stay. Nightmares...spirits calling me Nightmares...they won't leave me be. All my life's blood is slowly draining away And I feel that I'm weaker every day Somehow I know I haven't long to go Joining them at the bottom of the pool. Now...I feel they are so near I...begin to see them clear Nightmares...coming all the time Nightmares...Will give me peace of mind. Now it's clear and I know what I have to do I must take you down there to look at them too Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool Can't you see not just me they want you too. Oh...we'll drown together It...will be forever. Nightmares...forever calling me Nightmares...Now we rest in peace. |

In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth
When the land was swamp and caves were home In an age when prize possession was fire To search for landscapes men would roam. Then the tribes they came to steal their fire And the wolves they howled into the night As they fought a vicious angry battle to save the power of warmth and light. Drawn by quest for fire They searched all through the land Drawn by quest for fire Discovery of man. And they thought that when the embers died away That the flame of life had burnt and died Didn't know the sparks that made the fire Were made by rubbing stick and stone. So they ploughed through the forest and swamps of danger And they fought the cannibal tribes and beasts In the search to find another fire To regain the power of light and heat. Drawn by quest for fire They searched across the land Drawn by quest for fire Discovery of man. |

You killed your first man at 13,
Killer instinct, Animal supreme, By 16 you had learned to fight The way of the warrior, you took it as your right. Sunlight, falling on your steel, Death in life is your ideal, Life is like a wheel, rolling on and on. Through earth and water, fire and wind, you came at last-nothing was the end, Make a cut by fire and stones, Take you and your blade and break you both in two-break you both in two. Sunlight, falling on your steel, Death in life is your ideal, Life is like a wheel-and it's rolling still. |

In the Kingdom of the sands Of a time tomorrow. He rules the sandworms and the Fremen In a land amongst the stars Of an age tomorrow. He is destined to be a King He rules over everything On the land called planet Dune. Bodywater is your life And without it you would die On the desert the planet Dune.

He is the Kwizatz Haderach. He is born of Caladan And will take the Gom Jabbar. He has the power to foresee Or to look into the past He is the ruler of the stars The time will come for him to lay claim his crown, And then the foe yes they'll be cut down, You'll see he'll be the best that there's been, Messiah supreme true leader of men, And when the time for judgement's at hand Don't fret he's strong and he'll make a stand, Against evil and fire That spreads through the land, He has the power to make it all end. |

It's snowing outside the rumbling sound of engines roar in the night, The mission is near the confident men are waiting to drop from the sky. The Blizzard goes on but still they must fly No one should go where eagles dare. Bavarian alps that lay all around they seem to stare from below, The enemy lines a long time passed are lying deep in the snow. Into the night they fall through the sky No one should fly where eagles dare. They're closing in the fortress is near it's standing high in the sky, The cable car's the only way in it's really impossible to climb. They make their way but maybe too late They've got to try to save the day. The panicking cries the roaring of guns are echoing all round the valley, The mission complete they make to escape away from the Eagles Nest. They dared to go where no one would try they chose to fly where eagles dare.

This is the maze of life
This is the maze of death This is the matrix of eternity The demon never sleeps The demon never lies He beats my heart and leaves no echo What heavy burden holds me back Every step along the track? Fear that reaches deep inside of me At the trumpets of Jericho Still the walls remain At the trumpets of Jericho Avalon's in chains This is the river of space This is the river of time Chase the dragons of infinity Atlas stands and laughs Throws his burden down Rolls the earth in the inferno Fingers holding onto cracks The howling wind that blows us back Sucked into the grinding wheels of hell At the trumpets of Jericho Still the walls remain Blow the trumpets of Jericho Still the walls remain At the end of the rainbow There the grail remains Sound the trumpets of Jericho Avalon's in chains As they drag you down In your clothes of lead See the golden light Flashing overhead Mocking you Do you know who you are In your robes of skin? How many creatures live inside you? Man is born forever free But is everywhere in chains Trapped inside this earthly prison cell At the trumpets of Jericho Still the walls remain At the trumpets of Jericho Avalon's in chains At the trumpets of Jericho There the grail remains At the trumpets of Jericho Still the walls remain Still the walls remain Still the walls remain Still the walls remain The silence of the tomb The wheel of fortune round |

My mother was a queen, my dad I've never seen, I was never meant to be. And now I spend my time looking all around, For a man that's nowhere to be found. Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching, I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around. Chorus: 'Cos I'm a wrathchild, well I'm a wrathchild. Yeah I'm a wrathchild. I'm coming to get you, oooh yeah. Say it doesn't matter ain't nothin' gonna alter the course of my destination. I know I've got to find some serious piece of mind, or I know I'll go crazy. But now I spend my time looking all around, For a man thats nowhere to be found. Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching, I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around. Chorus |

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand there's no turning back. The bugle sounds and the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath As I plunge on into certain death. The horse he sweats with fear we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the Russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We won't live to fight another day. 간주 We get so close near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below. And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan |

Let me tell you a story to chill the bones,
Out of things that I saw. One night wandering in the everglades, I'd one drink but no more. I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight, Gazing up at the stars. Not aware of a presence so near to me, Watching my every move. Feeling scared and I fell to my knees, As something rushed me from the trees. Took me to an unholy place, And that is where I fell from grace. Then they summoned me over to join in with them To the dance of the dead. Into the circle of fire I followed them, Into the middle I was led. As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear, But still I wanted to go. And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me, As I walked onto the coals. And I felt I was in a trance, And my spirit was lifted from me. And if only someone had the chance To witness what happened to me. And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them, All had death in their eyes. Lifeless figures, they were undead all of them, They had ascended from hell. As I danced with the dead, My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me. Below my undead body just danced the circle of dead. Until the time came to reunite us both, My spirit came back down to me. I didn't know if I was alive or dead, As the others all joined in with me. By luck then a skirmish started, And took the attention away from me. When they took their gaze from me, Was the moment that I fled. I ran like hell faster than the wind But behind I did not glance. One thing that I did not dare, Was to look just straight ahead. When you know that your time has come around, You know you'll be prepared for it. Say your last goodbyes to everyone, Drink and say a prayer for it. When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed, And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead. When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed, And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead. To this day I guess I'll never know, Just why they let me go. But I'll never go dancing no more, 'Til I dance with the dead. |

When I was wandering in the desert,
And was searching for the truth I heard a choir of angels calling out my name, I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again I turn my face towards the barren sun And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me, And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves And the cracks in our lives like the cracks upon the ground, They are sealed and are now washed away You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away, You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears... And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me, And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives, They are sealed and now far away You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away, You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears...

In a foreign field he lay, lonely soldier unknown grave
On his dying words he prays, tell the world of Paschendale Relive all that he's been through, last communion of his soul Rust your bullets with his tears. Let me tell you 'bout his years Laying low in a blood filled trench, killing time 'til my very own death On my face I can feel the falling rain, never see my friends again In the smoke in the mud and lead, smell the fear and the feeling of dread Soon be time to go over the wall, rapid fire and the end of us all Whistles, shouts and more gun fire, lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb, be reunited with my dead friends soon Many soldiers eighteen years, drown in mud no more tears Surely a war no-one can win, killing time about to begin Home, far away, from the war, a chance to live again Home, far away, but the war, no chance to live again The bodies of ours and our foes, the sea of death it overflows In no man's land God only knows, into jaws of death we go Crucified as if on a cross, allied troops they mourn their loss German war propaganda machine, such before has never been seen Swear I heard the angels cry, pray to god no more will die So that people know the truth, tell the tale of Paschendale Cruelty has a human heart, everyman does play his part Terror of the men we kill, the human heart is hungry still I stand my ground for the very last time, gun is ready as I stand in line Nervous wait for the whistle to blow, rush of blood and over we go Blood is falling like the rain, its crimson cloak unveils again The sound of guns can't hide their shame, and so we die on Paschendale Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire, running straight at cannon fire Running blind as I hold my breath, say a prayer symphony of death As we charge the enemy lines, a burst of fire and we go down I choke a cry but no-one hears, feel the blood go down my throat Home, far away, from the war, a chance to live again Home, far away, but the war, no chance to live again See my spirit on the wind, across the lines beyond the hill Friend and foe will meet again, those who died at Paschendale |

Lord Of The Flies (Harris, Gers) (Commentary)
I don't care for this world anymore, I just want to live my own fantasy Fate has brought us to these shores, what was meant to be is now happening I've found that I like this living in danger Living on the edge it feels, it makes feel as one Who cares now what's right or wrong, it's reality Killing so we survive wherever we may roam Wherever we may hide, we've got to get away I don't want existence to end, we must prepare ourselves for the elements I just want to feel like we're strong, we don't need a code of morality I like all the mixed emotion and anger It brings out the animal, the power you can feel And feeling so high with this much adrenaline Excited but scary to believe what we've become Saints and sinners, something within us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners, something willing us To be lord of the flies (3:17-Solo: Janick Gers) Saints and sinners, something within us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners, something willing us To be lord of the flies Saints and sinners, something within us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners, something willing us To be lord of the flies |

There's a darkening sky before me. There's no time to prepare
Salvage the last horizon, but no regrets from me Maybe I'll be back some other day to live again, just who can say In what shape or form that I might be, just another chance for me A hurried time no disgrace, instead of racing to conclusion And wishing all my life away. No-one can stop me now. Time is up it couldn't last, but there's more things I'd like to do I'm coming back to try again. Someday maybe I'll wait till then No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies They're all sitting at my table, talking tall and drinking wine They're time is up just like me, but they just don't know it yet So just a word of warning, when you're in your deepest dreams There's nothing you can hide from. I've got my eye on you The clock is fast the hour is near. Eventful past is everclear My life is set the time is here. I think I'm coming home No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies A hurried time no disgrace, instead of racing to conclusion And wishing all your life away, no one can stop me now Time is up it couldn't last, but there's more things I have to do I'm coming back to try again. Don't tell me that this is the end No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies No more lies, no more lies |

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole The sands of time for me are running low When the priest comes to read me the last rites I take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be there's been some sort of an error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end not some crazy dream Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak Tears they flow but why am I crying After all am I not afraid of dying Don't believe that there never is an end As the guards march me out to the courtyard Someone calls from a cell "God be with you" If there's a God then why has he let me die? As I walk all my life drifts before me And though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away Mark my words please believe my soul lives on Please don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to see the truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down there is just a strange illusion |

Fear Of The Dark
Harris I am a man who walks alone And when I'm walking a dark road At night or strolling through the park When the light begins to change I sometimes feel a little strange A little anxious when it's dark. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Have you run your fingers down the wall And have you felt your neck skin crawl When you're searching for the light? Sometimes when you're scared to take a look At the corner of the room You've sensed that something's watching you. Have you ever been alone at night Thought you heard footsteps behind And turned around and no-one's there? And as you quicken up your pace You find it hard to look again Because you're sure there's someone there. Watching horror films the night before Debating witches and folklore The unknown troubles on your mind Maybe your mind is playing tricks You sense, and suddenly eyes fix On dancing shadows from behind. Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there. When I'm walking a dark road I am a man who walks alone .......... |

From the red sky of the east, to the sunset in the west
We have cheated death and he has cheated us But that was just a dream, and this is what it means We are sleeping and we'll dream for evermore And the fragment remains, of our memories And the shadows we made, with our hands Deeper grey, came to mourn, all the colours of the dawn Will this journeyman's day be his last I know what I want, And I say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want And I say what I want, And no one can take it away But the memory still remains, all the past years not so strange Our winter times are like a silent shroud And the heartbeat of the day drives the mist away And winter's not the only dream around In your life you may choose desolation And the shadows you build with your hands If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night Then your journeyman's day has begun I know what I want, And I say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want And I say what I want, And no one can take it away In your life you may choose desolation And the shadows you build with your hands If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night Then your journeyman's day has begun I know what I want, And I say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want And I say what I want, And no one can take it away |

I needed time to get the memories from my mind What did I see can I believe that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy Just what I saw in my old dreams were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me Cos in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair The night was black was no use holding back Cos I just had to see was someone watching me In the mist dark figures move and twist was all this for real or some kind of hell 666 the Number of the Beast Hell and fire was spawned to be released Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised as they start to cry hands held to the sky In the night the fires burning bright the ritual has begun Satan's work is done 666 the Number of the Beast Sacrifice is going on tonight This can't go on I must inform the law Can this still be real or some crazy dream but I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes they seem to mesmerise me...can't avoid their eyes 666 the Number of the Beast 666 the one for you and me I'm coming back I will return And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn I have the fire I have the force I have the power to make my evil take its course |

White man came across the sea
Brought us pain and misery Killed our tribes killed our creed Took our game for his own need We fought him hard we fought him well Out on the plains we gave him hell But many came too much for Cree Oh will we ever be set free? Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes Galloping hard on the plains Chasing the redskins back to their holes Fighting them at their own game Murder for freedom a stab in the back Women and children and cowards attack Run to the hills run for your lives Run to the hills run for your lives Soldier blue on the barren wastes Hunting and killing their game Raping the women and wasting the men The only good Indians are tame Selling them whisky and taking their gold Enslaving the young and destroying the old Run to the hills run for your lives (repeat to end) |

You lead me on the path, keep showing me the way
I feel a little lost, a little strange today I think I'll take a hold of whatever comes my way Then we'll see what happens, take it day by day I thought I had it all, I had it all worked out Just what my future held that there would be no doubt But then the card came up and I took another turn But I don't know if it's fulfillment that I yearn Tell me what you can hear and then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way to view the world I would like you to know, when you see the simple things To appreciate this life it's not too late to learn Don't want to be here Somewhere I'd rather be But when I get there I might find it's not for me Tell me what you can hear and then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way to view the world I would like you to know, when you see the simple things To appreciate this life it's not too late to learn Tell me what you can hear and then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way to view the world I would like you to know, when you see the simple things To appreciate this life it's not too late to learn Don't want to be here Somewhere I'd rather be But when I get there I might find it's not for me Don't know what I want Or where I want to be Feeling more confused The more the days go by |

It's the same in every country when you say you're leaving
Left behind the loved ones waiting silent in the hall Where you're going lies adventure others only dream of Red and green light, this is real and so you go to war For the passion, for the glory For the memories, for the money You're a soldier for your country What's the difference, all the same Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run from cold, bloody war There is no one that will save you, going down in flames No surrender, certain death, you look it in the eye On the shores of tyrany you crashed a human wave Paying for my freedom with your lonely unmarked graves For the passion, for the glory For the memories, for the money You're a soldier for your country What's the difference, all the same Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run from cold, bloody war Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run from cold, bloody war These colours don't run from cold, bloody war |

We are not the sons of God
We are not His chosen people now We have crossed the path He trod We will feel the pain of His beginning Shadow fingers rise above Iron fingers stab the desert sky Oh, behold the power of man On its tower, ready for the fall Knocking heads together well Raise a city; build a living hell Join the race to suicide Listen for the tolling of the bell Out of the universe A strange love is born Unholy union Trinity reformed Yellow sun, its evil twin In the black, the wings deliver him We will split our souls within Atom seed to nuclear dust is risen Out of the universe A strange love is born Unholy union Trinity reformed Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Bury your morals and bury your dead Bury your head in the sand E = MC squared, you can relate How we made God with our hands Whatever would Robert have said to his God About how we made war with the Sun? E = MC squared, you can relate How we made God with our hands All the nations are rising Through acid veils of love and hate Chain letters of Satan Uncertainty lead us all to this All the nations are rising Through acid veils of love and hate Cold fusion and fury Divide and conquer while ye may Others preach and others fall and pray In the bunkers, where we'll die Where the executioners, they lie Bombers launch with no recall Minute warning of the missile fall Take a look at your last sky Guessing you won't have the time to cry Out of the universe A strange love is born Unholy union Trinity reformed Out of the darkness Out of the darkness Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Holy Father, we have sinned |

The keys to death and hell
The ailing kingdom doomed to fail The bonds of sin and heart will break The pilgrims course will take Quelling the devil's might And ready for eternal fight Aching limbs and fainting soul Holy battles take their toll Liberty and hope divine Changing the water into wine So to you we bid farewell Kingdom of heaven to hell Spirit holy, life eternal Raise me up, take me home Pilgrim sunrise, pagan sunset Onward journey begun To courage find and gracious will Deliver good from ill Clean the water, clean our guilt With us do what you will Then will my judge appear Bear no false angel that I hear For only then I will confess To my eternal hell Now give us our holy sign Changing the water into wine So to you we bid farewell Kingdom of heaven to hell Spirit holy, life eternal Raise me up, take me home Pilgrim sunrise, pagan sunset Onward journey begun Now give us our holy sign Changing the water into wine So to you, we bid farewell Kingdom of heaven to hell Spirit holy, life eternal Raise me up, take me home Pilgrim sunrise, pagan sunset Onward journey begun Spirit holy, life eternal Raise me up, take me home Pilgrim sunrise, pagan sunset Onward journey begun |

In the gloom, the gathering storm abates
In the ships, the gimlet eyes await The call to arms to hammer at the gates To blow them wide throw evil to its fate All summers long, the drills to build the machine To turn men from flesh and blood to steel From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach From summer sands to armageddon's reach Overlord, your master not your God The enemy coast dawning grey with scud These wretched souls puking, shaking fear To take a bullet for those who sent them here The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flame No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains Drowning men, no chance for a warrior's fate A choking death enter hell's gate Sliding we go, only fear on our side To the edge of the wire and we rush with the tide Oh the water is red with the blood of the dead But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive How long on this longest day Till we finally make it through? How long on this longest day Till we finally make it through? How long on this longest day Till we finally make it through? How long on this longest day Till we finally make it through? The rising dead, faces bloated torn They are relieved, the living wait their turn Your number's up, the bullet's got your name You still go on to hell and back again Valhalla waits, Valkyrie's rise and fall The warrior tombs, lie open for us all A ghostly hand reaches through the veil Blood and sand, we will prevail Sliding we go, only fear on our side To the edge of the wire and we rush with the tide Oh, the water is red with the blood of the dead But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive How long on this longest day Till we finally make it through? How long on this longest day Till we finally make it through? How long on this longest day Till we finally make it through? How long on this longest day Till we finally make it through? How long on this longest day Till we finally make it through? How long on this longest day Till we finally make it through? How long on this longest day Till we finally make it through? How long on this longest day Till we finally make it through? |

Hold a halo 'round the world
Golden is the day Princes of the universe Your burden is the way So there is no better time Who will be born today A gypsy child at day break A king for a day Out of the shadows and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh, there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again Dusty dreams in fading daylight Flicker on the walls Nothing new your life's adrift What purpose to it all? Eyes are closed and death is calling Reaching out its hand Call upon the starlight to surround you Out of the shadows and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh, there is beuty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again Out of the shadows and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh, there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again Out of the shadows and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh, there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again Out of the shadows and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh, there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it to live again A man who casts no shadow has no soul |

Let me tell you 'bout my life
Let me tell you 'bout my dreams Let me tell you 'bout the things that happen Always real to me Let me tell you of my hope Of my need to reach the sky Let me take you on an awkward journey Let me tell you why Let me tell you why Why should these curses be laid upon me? I won't be forgiven till I can break free What did I do to deserve all this guilt? Pay for my sins with the sale of my soul Demons are trapped all inside of my head My hopes are gone reach for heaven from hell My sins are many, my guilt is too heavy The pressure of knowing of hiding what I know I'm able to see things, things I don't want to see The lives of a thousand souls weigh heavy down on me I know they're crying for help, reaching out The burden of them will take me down as well The sin of a thousand souls not died in vain Reincarnate still in me, live again Someone to save me, something to save me from myself To bring salvation to exorcise this hell Someone to save me, something to save me from myself To bring salvation to exorcise this hell Someone to save me, something to save me from myself A destination away from this nightmare Someone to save me, something to save me from myself To bring salvation to exorcise this hell |

Are you a man of peace or a man of holy war
Too many sides to you, don't know which anymore So many full of life, but also filled with pain Don't know just how many will live to breathe again A life that's made to breath destruction or defense A mind that's vain corruption bad or good intent A wolf in sheep's clothing or saintly or sinner Or some that would believe a holy war winner They fire off many shots and many parting blows Their actions beyond a reasoning, only God would know And as he lies in heaven or it could be in hell I feel he's somewhere here or looking from below But I don't know, I don't know Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is More pain and misery in the history of mankind Sometime it seems more like the blind leading the blind It brings upon us more of famine, death and war You know religion has a lot to answer for Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well, tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is And as they search to find the bodies in the sand They find its ashes that are scattered across the land And as the spirits seem to whistle on the wind A shot is fired somewhere another war begins And all because of it you'd think that we would learn But still the body count, the city fires burn Somewhere theres someone dying in a foreign land Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man Tell me why, tell me why Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well, tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well, tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well, tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well, tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God For the greater good of God He gave his life for us, he fell upon the cross To die for all of those who never mourn his loss It wasn't meant for us to feel the pain again Tell me why, tell me why |

There are secrets that you keep
There are secrets that you keep There are secrets that you tell to me alone I can't reach things I can't see You don't see this strange world quite the same as me Don't deny me what I am Nothing hidden still you fail to see the truth These are things you can't reveal These are things you can't reveal We are part of some strange plan Why the slaughter of the brotherhood of man Infernal sacrifice of hell Fire breathing lead the way Mounds of bodies as they all burn into one Revenge is living in the past Time to look into a new millennium Spiral path leads through the maze Down into the fiery underworld below Fire breathing lead the way Lucifer was just an angel led astray Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries We are not worthy in your black and blazing eyes We gather demons in the mirror every day The bridge of darkness casts a shadow on us all And all our sins to you we give this day Others wait their turn, their lives were meant to last Use yours wisely as the light is fading fast Free your soul and let it fly Mine was caught, I couldn't try Time returns again to punish all of us We are cast out by our bloody father's hand We are strangers in this lonely promised land We are the shadows of the one unholy ghost In our nightmare world the only one we trust Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All I see are mysteries |

Tell you a thing
That you ought to know Two minutes of your time Then on you go Tell tale of the men All dressed in black That most of them Not coming back Sent off to the war To play little games And on their return Can't name no names Some strange yellow gas Has played with their minds Has reddened their eyes Removed all the lies And strange as it sounds Death knows no bounds How many get well Only time will tell Only time will tell You lie in your death bed now But what did you bring to the table Brought us only holy sin Utter trust is a deadly thing To the prayer of holy peace We didn't know what was lying underneath So how could we be such fools And to think that we thought you the answer I can't begin to understand in all the lies But on your death bed I can see it in your eyes Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow It really makes sense I can see it clearly now Tangled up in a web of lies Could have been a way to prophesize Unaware of the consequence Not aware of the secrets that you kept Nothing that we could believe To reveal the facade of faceless men Not a thing that we could foresee Now a sign that would tell us the outcome You had us all strung out with promises of peace But all along your cover plan was to deceive Can it put to rights now, only time will tell Your prophecies will send us all to hell as well Left to all our golden sons All to pick up on the peace You could have given all of them A little chance at least Take the world to a better place Given them all just a little hope Just think what a legacy You now will leave We seem destined to live in fear And some that would say Armageddon is near But where there's a life, well there's hope That man won't self destruct Why can't we treat our fellow man With more respect and a shake of their hands But anger and loathing is rife The death on all sides is becoming a way of life We live in an uncertain world Fear, understanding and ignorance is leading to death Only the corpses are left For vultures that prey on their bones But some are just not wanting peace Their whole life is death and misery The only thing that they know Fight fire with fire, life is cheap But if they do stop to think That man is teetering right on the brink But do you think that they care They benefit from death and pain and despair |
