One two, one two three four
I'm gonna organize some changes in my life I'm gonna exercise the demons of my past I'm gonna take the car and hit the open road I'm feeling ready to just open up and go And I just feel I can be anything That all I might ever wish to be And fantasize just what I want to be Make my wildest dreams come true I'm on my way Out on my own again I'm on my way Out on the road again When I remember back to how that things just used to be And I was stuck inside a shroud of misery I felt I'd disappear so deep inside myself I couldn't find a way to break away my hell When I'm feeling down and low I vow I'll never be the same again I just remember what I am And visualize just what I'm gonna be I'm on my way Out on my own again I'm on my way I'm gonna breakaway I'm gonna breakaway I'm out on my own, I'm out on my own C'mon break away, break it away I'm on my way Out on my own again I'm on my way Out on the road again I'm on my way Out on my own again I'm on my way I'm gonna breakaway |

I was born into a scene of angriness and greed, and dominance and persecution.
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 |

Give me the sense to wonder
To wonder if I'm free Give me a sense of wonder To know I can be me Give me the strength to hold my head up Spit back in their face Don't need no key to unlock this door Gonna break down the walls Break out of this bad place Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see I screamed aloud to the old man I said don't lie don't say you don't know I say you'll pay for your mischief In this world or the next Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance And the hell fires raged in his eyes He said do you want to know the truth son - I'll tell you the truth Your soul's gonna burn in the lake of fire Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see Can I play with madness - the prophet stared at his crystal ball Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see |

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... 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 |

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 |

(Harris)
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 |

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) |

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 |

I'm running out of my time
I'm running out of breath And now it's getting so I can't sleep at night In the day, feel like death I'm getting in far too deep I feel them closing in I've got to say that I'm scared I know they'll win Even so, I'm prepared Do you believe, what you hear Can you believe, what you see Do you believe, what you feel Can you believe What is real ? Futureal What is real ? Futureal Whenever anyone seems to treat me like a freak It makes me see I'm the only one who feels That I know what is real Sometimes it feels like a game of deadly hide and seek And when you're reading this then I'll be gone Maybe then, you will see |

Roll of the dice
Take a spin of the wheel Out of your hands now So how do you feel But you're not gonna win You'd better go back again Do you feel lucky Or do you feel scared Take what luck brings And be Devil may care But you're down on your luck what will the next day bring Adrift on the ocean Afloat in a daydream Or lost in a maze Or blind in the haze So what does it matter So why don't you answer So why did you send An angel to mend Best make decisions Before it's too late Take all your chances Take hold of the reins A roll of the dice Ahead of the game again Nothing to lose But so much to gain A little danger It goes without saying But what do you care You're gonna go in the end Gate open to heaven Is ready and waytnig Or straight down to hell Can go there as well I'll suffer my craving My soul's not worth saving Sowhy don't you go Just leave well alone Don't you think i'm a savior Don't you think i could save you Don't you think i could save your life There's like a hunger That knocks on your door You've had a taste of it Still you want more You've made your mistakes Won't play it the same again You have been warned But still you plunge in You play high stakes But there's nothing to win You've only one life And so many things to learn The Angel on one side The Devil the other Which path do you take Decisions to make Arrive at the crossroads You know where you're going And what if you wait It may be too late |

I feel the breeze on my face in expectance
Not very long before the storm reaches here Off in the distance the lightning is flashing again Feel something strong as the power draws near Is it the rolling of thunder that scares you Is it the crashing of clouds that hold fear But all I know as I sit in a corner alone It takes me back to my childhood again And as I wait and I look for an answer To all the things going round in my head I ask myself could it be a disaster and when It's maybe threatening to happen again As the ominous light draws near There's a lone dog howls in the park All the people hurry inside As a lightning flash lights dark The storm is nearly here Only God will know You're sitting alone you watch As the wind is blowing treetops And the swaying rustling leaves Plenty of time to perceive As you wait for rain to fall Only God knows The whole sky glows Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes twice |

Wake alone in the hills
with the wind in your face It feels good to be proud and be free and a race That is part of a clan and to live on highlands And the air that you breathe so pure and so clean When alone on the hills With the wind in your hair With a longing to feel .. Just to be free Is it right to believe in the need to be free It's a time when you die and without asking why Can't you see what they do they are grinding us down They are taking our land that belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream Just want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman .....Freedom It's a time wrought with fear it's a land wrought with change Ancestors could hear What is happening now They would turn in their graves they would all be ashamed That the land of the free has been written in chains And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman And I swear to defend And we'll fight to the end And I swear that I'll never be taken alive And I know that we'll stand and we'll fight for our land And I swear that my bairns Will be born free And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what i want I am the clansman .....freedom And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We've the land of the free Freedom Is it right to believe in the need to be free It's a time when you die and without asking why Can't you see what they do they are grinding us down They are taking our land that belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream Just want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman ?..Freedom |

My telescope looks out
into the stars tonight A little speck of light seems twice the size tonight The Calculations are so fine can it be growing all the Time? Now I can't believe its true and I don't know what to do For the hundredth time I check the declination Now the fear starts to grow even my computer shows There are no errors in the calculations Now it's happened take no other view Collision course, you must believe it's true Now there's nothing left that we can do When Two Worlds collide The anger and the pain Of all those who remain Two worlds collide Who will be left alive No place to hide When Two Worlds Collide The anger, the pain Of those who remain When two worlds collide When two worlds collide So who will survive there's No place to hide When Two Worlds collide |

I'm an educated fool
So I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do About this awkward situation That's been forced down right upon me As I'm walking down into on my own into the valley of life Got a lifetime of experience yeah I've got so much to give Open the page at chapter one could this just be that life's just begun Forever within your darker thoughts Reflecting on everything you've been taught Never felt this way before Seems that somebody's just opened the door To the book of life .... or is it death! there's ever anyway out Someone's looking down on me to the very inner core of my soul They won't tell me what they see But I really want to know I want to leave my life on my own I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire I want to live out all my desires I want to go and see the fire burn I want to see and feel my world turn I want to know what more there's to learn I want to pass the point of no return Do you really wanna be Just another one statistic or feel That you really should aspire That you really do deserve more Do you ever really fell That you have so much potential inside What you really have to give Could be realized so much more Time will flow And I will follow Time will go But I will follow I want to feel what life's like respond I want to meet my father beyond I want to walk right into the light I want to feel no fear but delight I want to leave my life on my own I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire I want to live out all my desires The educated fool |

Como esta amigo
For the death of those we don't go Shall we kneel and say a prayer They will never know we care Shall we keep the fires burning Shall we keep the flames alight Should we try to remember What is wrong and what is right No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears And if we do forget them and the sacrifice they made Will the wickedness and sadness come to visit us again Shall we dance the dance in sunlight Shall we drink the wine of peace Shall our tears be of joy Shall we keep at bay the beast Inside the scream is silent Inside it must remain No victory and no vanquished Only horror, only pain |

Covered in sinners and dripping
with gilt Making you money from slime and from filth Parading your bellies in ivory towers Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers You got to watch them - Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in heaven - The thief in your head You've got to watch them - Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in heaven - The thief in your head... Be quick! Or be dead! Be quick! Or be dead See... what's ruling all our lives See... who's pulling the strings... I bet you won't fall on your face...

She fell in love with his greasy machine
She leaned over wiped his head kickstart clean She'd never seen the beast before But she left there wanting more more more But when she was walking on down the road She heard a sound that made her heart explode He whispered to her to get on the back "I'll take you on a ride from here to eternity" Hell ain't a bad place Hell is from here to eternity Hell ain't a bad place Hell is from here to eternity She must be having one of her crazy dreams She'd never sat on a piece so mean It made her feel like she's on cloud nine She even thought she heard the engine sigh But like all dreams that come to an end They took a tumble at the devil's bend The beast and Charlotte they were two of a kind They'd always take the line... from here to eternity Hell ain't a bad place Hell is from here to eternity Hell ain't a bad place Hell is from here to eternity |

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?

We live our lives in fever
In a choking sweat of fear In the heat of the night you can feel so much In the heat of the night I scream "Don't touch!" I remember a time when we used and abused And fought all our battles in vain I remember a time we thought that passion was free In the heart of the night... bodies aflame We live in fever... I hear your secret heartbeat I can hear your silent cries The kids have lost their freedom And nobody cares till somebody famous dies... I remember a time when we used and abused And fought all our battles in vain I remember a time we thought that passion was free In the heart of the night... bodies aflame Now we live, in a world of uncertainty Fear is the key - to what you want to be You don't get a say the majority gets its way You're outnumbered by the bastards till the day you die... |

I'd walk a hundred miles If I could make it to the end Oh just to see a smile You see it in their faces The sadness in their tears The desperation and the anger Madness and the fear No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, just greed is here Starvation and the hunger The suffering and the pain The agonies of all-out war When will it come again? The struggle for the power A tyrant tries again Just what the hell is going on? When will it ever end? No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, just greed is here You see the full moon float You watch the red sun rise We take these things for granted But somewhere someone's dying Contaminated waters Pollution and decay Just waiting for disease to strike Oh will we learn someday? No hope, no life, just pain and fear No food, no love, no seed childhood's end |

As frost lay on the ground Waiting to make my move I make no sound Waiting for the mist to cover all around I carefully picked my time then took the wall I'm sick and tired of running The hunger and the pain A stop to look about then off again Being at the wrong place And the wrong time Suspected of a hit that was my crime I am a fugitive being hunted down like game I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name Always looking 'round me Forever looking back I'll always be a target for attack Ever moving onwards Always on the run Waiting for the sight of a loaded gun I am a fugitive being hunted down like game I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name Even if I find them And get to clear my name I know that things can never be the same But if I ever prove My innocence some day I've got to get them all to make them pay I am a fugitive being hunted down like game I am a fugitive but I've got to clear my name |

You can make your own luck You create your destiny I believe you have the power if you want to ..........it's true 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? 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 Extrasensory Perception Life after death, telepathy Can the soul live on and travel through space and time? You know I feel so elated 'Cos I'm about to find it out And when I know all the answers Maybe then I'll come back ..........to fill you in 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 |

A weekend warrior lately A weekend warrior sometimes A weekend warrior maybe you ain't that way anymore Some of the things that you've done you feel so ashamed After all it's only a game... isn't it?

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 |

my mind was blank I needed time to think 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 yeah@ 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 just some crazy dream But I feel drawn towards the 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 it's course |

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 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 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 |

It's the real thing, girl Got me feeling myself and reeling around Got me talkin', but feel like walkin' around Got me feeling myself and reeling a? Got me talkin', but nothing's with me... Got me feeling myself and reeling around |

Unchain the colours before my eyes,
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies. Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of fire. Tears for rememberance, and tears for joy, Tears for somebody and this lonely boy. Out in the madness, the all seeing eye, Flickers above us, to light up the sky. Unchain the colours before my eyes, Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies. Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of fire. |

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. |

Out of the winter came a war horse of steel
I've never killed a woman before, but I know how it feels I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law I met up with a stranger last night To keep me alive He spends all his money on gambling and guns to survive I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law So give me sanctuary from the law And I'll be all right Just give me Sanctuary from the law And love me tonight...tonight I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law So give me sanctuary from the law And I'll be all right Just give me Sanctuary from the law And love me tonight...tonight I can laugh at the wind, I can howl at the rain Down in the Canyon or out in the plains I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw So now I've got to look for Sanctuary from the law So give me sanctuary from the law And I'll be all right Just give me Sanctuary from the law And love me tonight....tonight Love me tonight |

I've got nowhere to call my own, hit the gas, and here I go. *Chorus*: I'm running free yeah, I'm running free. I'm running free yeah, Oh I'm running free. Spent the night in an L. A. jail, and listened to the sirens wail. They ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild, I'm running free. *Chorus* Puller here at the Bottle Top, whiskey, dancing, disco hop.

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) |

Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don't need a reason The golden goose is on the loose And never out of season Some blackened pride still burns inside This shell of bloody treason Here's my gun for a barrel of fun For the love of living death. The killers breed or the Demon's seed, The glamour, the fortune, the pain, Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain But don't you pray for my soul anymore. 2 minutes to midnight, The hands that threaten doom. 2 minutes to midnight, To kill the unborn in the womb. The blind men shout let the creatures out We'll show the unbelievers. The Napalm screams of human flames Of a prime time Belsen Feast.....Yeah! As the reasons for the carnage cut their meat and lick the gravy, We oil the jaws of the war machine and feed it with out babies. The killers breed or the Demon's seed, The glamour, the fortune, the pain, Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain But don't you pray for my soul anymore. 2 minutes to midnight, The hands that threaten doom. 2 minutes to midnight, To kill the unborn in the womb. The body bags and little rags of children torn in two And the jellied brains of those who remain to put the finger right on you, As the Madmen play on words and make us all dance to their song, To the tune of starving millions to make a better kind of gun. The killers breed or the Demon's seed, The glamour, the fortune, the pain, Go to war again, blood is freedom's stain But don't you pray for my soul anymore. 2 minutes to midnight, The hands that threaten doom. 2 minutes to midnight, To kill the unborn in the womb. Midnight...all night |

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 |

Be quick! Or be dead! Be quick! Or be dead! See... what's ruling all our lives See... who's pulling the strings... I bet you won't fall on your face... Your belly will hold you in place .. The serpent is crawling inside of your ear He says you must vote for what you want to hear Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright So pull yourself studid and rob yourself blind. *You got to watch them - Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in heaven - The thief in your head You've got to watch them - Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in heaven - The thief in your head...

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 |

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. .. Afraid to shoot strangers (x8) .. Afraid to shoot strangers... (x4 ) |

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. Chorus: Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait til another day. [Reapeat chorus] 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. [Chorus *2] 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? [Chorus] |

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? |

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 .......... |

Ghost Of The Navigator
I have sailed to many lands, now I make my final journey On the bow I stand, west is where I go Through the night I plough, still my heart, calculate and pray As the compass swings, my will is strong, I will not be led astray Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, but I know, but I know I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, navigator's son, Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so, Nothing's real until you feel I steer between the crashing rocks, the sirens call my name Lash my hands onto the helm, blood surging with the strain I will not fail now as sunrise comes the darkness left behind For eternity I follow on there is no other way Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, I know I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, Navigator's son Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so Nothing's real until you feel I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, Navigator's son Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so Nothing's real until you feel |

And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life What do you think you'd expect you would see? Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life And in the river reflections of me Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see And in a movement he beckons to me And in a moment the memories are all that remain And all the wounds are reopening again We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers And as you look all around at the world in dismay What do you see, do you think we have learned Not if you're taking a look at the war-torn affray Out in the streets where the babies are burned We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers There are time when I feel I'm afraid for the world There are times I'm ashamed of us all When you're floating on all the emotion you feel And reflecting the good and the bad Will we ever know what the answer to life really is? Can you really tell me what life is? Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you Could be swept away by fate's own hand We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers When you think that we've used all our chances And the chance to make everything right Keep on making the same old mistakes Makes untipping the balance so easy When we're living our lives on the edge Say a prayer on the book of the dead We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life.... |

Out of the silent planet we are Withered hands, withered bodies begging for salvation Deserted by the hand of gods of their own creation Nations cry underneath decaying skies above You are guilty, the punishment is death for all who live The punishment is death for all who live Out of the silent planet Dreams of desolation Out of the silent planet Come the demons of creation The killing fields, the grinding wheels crushed by equilibrium Separate lives no more disguise, no more second chances Haggard wisdom spitting out the bitter taste of hate I accuse you before you know the crime it's all too late Before you know the crime it's all too late Out of the silent planet Dreams of desolation Out of the silent planet Come the demons of creation Out of the silent planet Out of the silent planet we are |

When a person turns to wrong
Is it a want to be, belong? Part of things at any cost At what price a life is lost At what point do we begin Fighter spirit a will to win But what makes a man decide Take the wrong or righteous road There's a thin line between love and hate Wider divide that you can see between good and bad There's a grey place between black and white But everyone does have the right to Choose the path that he takes We all like to put the blame On society these things But what kind of good or bad A new generation brings Sometimes takes just more than that To survive be good at heart There is evil in some of us No matter what will never change I will hope My soul will fly So I will live forever Heart will die My soul will fly I will live forever Just a few small tears between Someone happy and one sad Just a thin line drawn between Being a genius or insane At what age begin to learn Of which way out we will turn There's a long and widing road And the trail is there to burn There's a thin line between love and hate Wider divide that you can see between good and bad There's a grey place between black and white But everyone does have the right to Choose the path that he takes I will hope My soul will fly So I will live forever Heart will die My soul will fly And I will live forever There's a thin line between love and hate |

Eleven saintly shrouded men
silhouettes stand against the sky one in front with a cross held high come to wash my sins away Standing alone in the wind and rain feeling the fear that is growing Sensing the change in the tide again caught by the storm that is brewing Feel the anxiety hold off the fear some of the doubt in the things you believe Now that your faith will be put to the test nothing to do but await what is coming Why is then God still protecting me even when I don't deserve it? Though I am blessed with an inner strength some they would call it a penance Why am I meant to face this alone asking the question time and again Praying to God won't keep me alive Inside my head feel the fear start to rise... They'll be saving their prayers when the moment comes there'll be penance to pay when it's judgement day And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes they'll be coming to claim, take your soul away The sign of the cross The name of the rose A fire in the sky The sign of the cross They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame They'll be bringing us all immortality Holding comunion so the world be blessed my creator, my God, lay my soul to rest The sign of the cross The name of the rose A fire in the sky The sign of the cross Lost the love of heaven above Chose the lust of the earth below Eleven saintly shrouded men Came to wash my sins away |

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 |

The freeway is jammed
and it's backed up for miles The car is an oven and baking is wild Nothing is ever the way it should be What we deserve we just don't get you see A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge Each step gets closer to losing his head Is someone in heaven are they looking down 'Cause nothing is fair just you look around Falling down Falling down Falling down... He's sick of waiting of lying like this There's a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss Branded a leper because you don't fit In the land of the free You can live by your wits Once he built missiles a nations defence Now he can't even give birthday presents Across the city he leaves in his wake A glimpse of the future a cannibal state Falling down Falling down Falling down... The freeway is jammed and its backed up for miles the car is an oven and baking is wild Nothing is ever the way it should be What we deserve we just don't get you see A briefcase, a lunch, and a man on the edge Each step gets closer to losing his head Is someone in heaven are they looking down Nothing is fair just you look around Falling down Falling down Falling down... Falling down Falling down Falling down... |

After the war
And now that they've sent us homeward I can't help but feel that I'm on my own No one can see just what this conflict has done to The minds of the men who are on their way home I'm scarred for life but it's not my flesh that's wounded So how can I face the torment alone The vivid scenes and all the recurring nightmares I lay there and sweat until it gets light People say 'don't worry' Say that time's a perfect healer That the nightmares they will come to pass Can't hear what they're saying I am living in my own world And I'm feeling trance-like all the time I hear voices in my head Could I really be going crazy In the night the visions seem so real Do you care if you live or die When you laugh are you really crying You're not sure what's real anymore Fortunes of war Fortunes of war Fortunes of war no pain anymore Sometimes I wake I feel that my spirit's broken I wonder if I've the strength... carry on carry on |

All my dark dreams drift
Like smoke in the breeze The fear grips me as I fall towards my sleep Here comes the nightmare that never ends Here is the dream that makes monsters of men In the house of my soul In rooms of ugliness and cold Memories locked away All the doubts and fears I never faced Now they come again I am falling down to meet with them Fears within us all Mine awake and they stand up tall Look for the truth Deepest cut of all from you Knife of the truth Blade of harted slicing through I pray my sleep will break Maybe this time I won't wake Weakness I hide so well This dagger in my mind will tell It's my final stand I make a fist out of each hand To shadows of the past Take a breath and I scream attack Look for the truth Deepest cut of all from you Knife of the truth Blade of hatred slicing through Here is the truth Deepest cut of all from you knife of the truth Blade of hatred slicing through |

Silently to silence fall
In the fields of futile war Toys of death are spitting lead Where boys that were our soldiers bled Warhorse and war machine Curse the name of Liberty Marching on as if they should Mix in the dirt our brothers' blood In the mud and rain What are we fighting for? Is it worth the pain? Is it worth dying for? Who will take the blame? Why did they make a war? Questions that come again Should we be fighting at all? Once, a ploughman hitched his team Here he sowed his little dream Now bodies, arms, and legs are strewn Where mustard gas and barbwire bloom Each moment's like a year I've nothing left inside for tears Comrades dead or dying lie I'm left alone asking, "Why?" In the mud and rain What are we fighting for? Is it worth the pain? Is it worth dying for? Who will take the blame? Why did they make a war? Questions that come again Should we be fighting at all? After the war Left feeling no one has won After the war What does a soldier become War is over and battles are gone After the war, no one has won I'm just a soldier |

A lonely cry for help reaching out for help
to anyone A silent prayer to God to help you on your way I've been depressed so long It's hard to remember when I was happy I've felt like suicide a dozen times or more But that's the easy way, that's the selfish way The hardest part is to get on with your life You're searching in the dark Clutching at straws to find a way You take the Tarot cards And throw them to the wind Your question your beliefs, your inner thoughts, your whole existence And if there is a God then answer if you will And tell me of my fate, tell me of my place Tell me if I'll ever rest in peace If you could live your life again Would you change a thing Or leave it all the same If you had the chance again Would you change a thing at all When you look back at your past Can you say that you are proud Of what you've done Are there times when you believe that the right you thought was wrong All of my life I have believed Judgement of Heaven is waiting for me All of my life now I have believed Judgement of Heaven awaits for me All of my life I have believed Judgement of Heaven is waiting for me Is waiting for me ... |

Sometimes it makes me wonder
Sometimes it makes me question Sometimes it makes me sadden Always, it makes me angry, but... When you can see it happening? The madness that's all around you Nobody seems to worry The world seems so powerless to act.... It's out of control Blood on the world's hands Each day, a new toll Another assassination The same day, a new creation But what are they coming into? Security of a world that brings.... One day, another killing Somewhere, there's someone starving Another, a savage raping Meanwhile, there's someone laughing at us It's out of control Blood on the world's hands Each day, it goes on Blood on the world's hands Brutality and aggression Tomorrow, another lesson Expecting another air raid Praying for a ceasefire They say things are getting better No need to be complacent There's chaos across the border And one day, it could be happening to us It's out of control Blood on the world's hands It's our epitaph It's out of control Someone should know Blood on the world's hands Someone should? |

I've looked into the heart of darkness
Where the blood-red journey ends When you've faced the heart of darkness Even your soul begins to bend For a week I have been waiting Still I am only in Saigon The walls move in a little closer I feel the jungle call me on Every minute I get weaker While in the jungle they grow strong What I wanted was a mission And for my sins they gave me one They brought it up just like room service 'Cause everyone gets what they want And when that mission was all over I'd never want another one I know, captain, That you've done this work before We've got a problem You can help us all I'm sure The colonel's gone rogue And his methods are unsound You'll take a PBR up river track him down There's a conflict in every human heart And the temptation is to take it all to far In this war things get so confused But there are some things Which cannot be excused He's acting like a God - an insane lunatic Your mission - exterminate With extreme prejudice The route is dangerous And your progress may be slow Here is the file and it's all you need to know Here I am the knife in my hand And now I understand why the genius must die Now I stand alone in the darkness With his blood upon my hands Where sat the warrior the poet Now lie the fragments of a man I've looked into the heart of darkness Where the blood-red journey ends When you've faced the heart of darkness Even your soul begins to bend |

I get in from work at 2:00 A.M.
And sit down with a beer Turn on late-night TV And then wonder why I'm here It's meaningless and trivial And it washes over me And once again, I wonder Is this all there is for me? Here I am again Look at me again Here I am again On my on Trying hard to see What there is for me Here I am again On my own Life seems so pathetic I wish I could leave it all behind This canvas chair, this bed, These walls that fall in on my mind Hold on for something better That just drags you through the dirt Do you just let go or carry on And try to take the hurt? Here I am again Look at me again Here I am again On my own Trying hard to see What there is for me Here I am again On my own! |

When you start to take a look within
Do you feel at ease with what you see Do you think you can have peace of mind And have self belief or be satisfied Do you think you even like yourself Or really think you could be someone else Is there something that you'd rather be Never thought you'd be, had the chance to see All my life I've run away All my life I've tried to hide away Feel the paranoia creeping in Like a cancer eating at the skin Do you feel you've lost your self-esteem And your self respect, what can you expect All my life I've run away All my life I've tried to hide away All my life... I've run away Let my faith... slip away All my life... I've run away Allowed my faith... to drift away Are you scared to look inside your mind Are you worried just at what you'll find Do you really want to face the truth Does it matter now, what have you got to lose Try to release the anger from within Forgive yourself a few immortal sins Do you really care what people think Are you strong enough to release the guilt All my life I've run away All my life I've tried to hide away All my life... I've run away Let my faith... slip away All my life... I've run away Allowed my faith... to drift away |

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 turned 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..... 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 |

There's a darkning sky before me.
There's no time to prepare. Salvage a lost 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, 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, some day maybe i'll wait till then... No More Lies x 8 They're all sitting at my table. Talking tar and drinking wine. Their time is up just like me. But they just don't know it yet. So just a word of warning. When your in your deepest dream. Theres nothing you can hide from. I've got my eye on you. The clock is fast. The hour is near. Eventfull past is everclear. My mind is set. The time is here. I think im coming home... No More Lies x 8 -solo- Repeat from a hurried time... It's over. |

I stand alone in this desolate space.
In death they are truly alive. Massacred innocence, evil took place. The angels were burning inside. Centuries later I wonder why. What secret that they took to their grave. Still burning heretics under our skies. Religion still burning inside. At the gates and the walls of Montsegur. Blood on the stones of the citadel. At the gates and the walls of Montsegur. Blood on the stones of the citadel. At the gates and the walls of Montsegur. Blood on the stones of the citadel. At the gates and the walls of Montsegur. Blood on the stones of the citadel. As we kill them all so god will know his own. The innocents died for the pope on his throne. Catholic greed and it's paranoid zeal. Curse of the grail and the blood of the cross. Templar believers with blood on their hands. Joined in the chorus to kill on demand. Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty. To stand with the Cathars to die and be free. The book of old testament crippled and black. Satan his weapon is lust. Living this evil damnation of flesh, back to the torture of life. The perfect would willingly have died at the stake and all of their followers slain. As for the knowledge of god they had claimed. Religion still burning inside. At the gates and the walls of Montsegur. Blood on the stones of the citadel. At the gates and the walls of Montsegur. Blood on the stones of the citadel. At the gates and the walls of Montsegur. Blood on the stones of the citadel. At the gates and the walls of Montsegur. Blood on the stones of the citadel. As we kill them all so god know his own. The innocents died for the pope on his throne. Catholic greed and it's paranoid zeal. Curse of the grail and the blood of the cross. Templar believers with blood on their hands. Joined in the chorus to kill on command. Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty. Still burning heretics under our skies. As we kill them all so god know his own. Laugh at the darkness and in god we trust. The eye of the triangle smiling with sin. No passover feast for the curse of within. Facing the sun as they went to their grave. Burn like a dog or you live like a slave. Death is the price for your soul's liberty. To stand with the cathars and to die and be free. At the gates and the walls of Montsegur. Blood on the stones of the citadel. At the gates and the walls of Montsegur. Blood on the stones of the citadel. At the gates and the walls of Montsegur. Blood on the stones of the citadel. At the gates and the walls of Montsegur. Blood on the stones of the citadel. |

Let me tell you a story to chill the bones,
'bout a thing that I saw. One night wandering in the everglades. I had 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 In to the circle of fire I followed them. In to 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 death. 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. |

Weaving a thread round your heart and your soul.
Decieving your eyes and delaying your goal Ships in the night when they pass out of sight. Deliver their cargo of eartly delights To the women and the children the souls of the dead. I've opened their book and no mercy is shed You want forgiveness and you want it cheap. I don't give redemption rewards for the meek Suffering evil when you pay the price of fame. There isn't a god to save you if you don't save yourself You can't blame a madman if you go insane. Give me the strength so I carry on Trapped in the web but I cut the threads. Show you the gates of tomorrow Trapped in the web no mercy is shed. Show you the gates of tomorrow Trapped in the web slaves to the dead. Show you the gates of tomorrow Trapped in the web but I cut the threads. Show you the gates of tomorrow Suffering evil when you pay the price of fame.
