Honey it's getting close to midnight And all the myths are still in town True love and lipstick on your linen Bite the pillow make no sound If there's some living to be done Before your life becomes your tomb You'd better know that I'm the one So unchain your back door invite me around Honey it's getting close to daybreak The sun is creeping in the sky No patent remedies for heartache Just empty words and humble pie So get down on your knees honey Assume an attitude You just pray that I'll be waiting Cos you know I'm coming soon So pick up your foolish pride, no going back No where, no way, no place to hide Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter Let her go, let her go, let her go |

Why is it some of us are destined to stay alive And some of us are here just so that we'll die How come the bullet hits the other guy Do we have to try and reason why Be it the devil or be it him You can count on just one thing When the time is up you'll know Not just one power runs the show Are we the lucky ones saved for another day Or they the lucky ones who are taken away Is it a hand on your shoulder from the Lord above Or the Devil himself come to give you a shove Be it the devil or be it him You can count on just one thing When the time is up you'll know Not just one power runs the show A volcano erupts and sweeps a town away A hurricane devastates the cities in its way The grief and misery for the ones that are left behind The worst is yet to come a hell to face mankind |

Believe in me - send us money died on the cross and that ain't funny But my so called friends are making me a joke They missed out what I said like I never spoke They choose what they wanna hear - they don't tell a lie They just leave out the truth as they're watching you die Saving your soul by taking your money Flies round shit, bees around honey. Holy Smoke, Holy Smoke, plenty bad preachers for The Devil to stoke Feed 'em in feet first this is no joke This is thirsty work making Holy Smoke Jimmy Reptile and all his friends Say they gonna be with you at the end Burning records burning books Holy soldiers Nazi looks Crocodile smile just wait a while Till the TV Queen gets her make up clean I've lived in filth I've lived in sin And I still smell cleaner than the shit you're in Holy Smoke, Holy Smoke, plenty bad preachers for The Devil to stoke Feed 'em in feet first this is no joke This is thirsty work making Holy Smoke They ain't religious but they ain't no fools When Noah built his Cadillac it was cool Two by two they're still going down And the satellite circus just left town I think they're strange and when they're dead They can have a Lincoln for their bed Friend of the President - trick of the tail Now they ain't got a prayer - 100 years in jail Holy Smoke, Holy Smoke, plenty bad preachers for The Devil to stoke Feed 'em in feet first this is no joke This is thirsty work making Holy Smoke |

I got the keys to view at number 22 Behind my Green door there's nothing to see Stone cold sober and sitting in silence, laid back and looking for sympathy I like a girl who knows where she's bound I don't like girls who've been hanging around Hooks in you, hooks in me, hooks in the ceiling For that well hung feeling No big deal, no big sin, strung up on love I Got the hooks screwed in She's tied up she can't come to the phone You must have got your wires crossed cos she ain't home Knock on wood - you know I like that sound She never could keep her feet on the ground Running silent, Running deep, we are your final prayer, Warriors in secret sleep, a merchantman's nightmare, A silent death lies waiting for all of you below, Running silent, Running deep, sink into your silent sleep Right on the money got it wrapped up tight New ideas for the decor tonight Gonna make this house a preservation zone Gonna set her in concrete set her up on her own |

The convoy lights are dead ahead The Merchantmen lay in their bed, The thump of diesels hammer down, In the oily sea - the killing ground, His knuckles white his eyes alight, He slams the hatch on the deadly night, A cunning fox in the chickens lair, A hound of hell and the devil don't care Running silent, Running deep, we are your final prayer, Warriors in secret sleep, a merchantman's nightmare, A silent death lies waiting for all of you below, Running silent, Running deep, sink into your silent sleep Chill the hearts of fighting men In open ocean wondering when? The lethal silver fish will fly The boat will shiver - men will die A cast of millions - a part to play Killer? Victim? or fool for a day Obeying an order - men have to die Us or them - a well rehearsed lie Running silent, Running deep, we are your final prayer, Warriors in secret sleep, a merchantman's nightmare, A silent death lies waiting for all of you below, Running silent, Running deep, sink into your silent sleep The lifeboats shattered the hull is torn, The tar black smell of burning oil, On the way down to Davy Jones, Every man for himself - you're on your own The wolf eyes watch the crosswire "Stern tubes ready", "Aim and fire!" They can pin some medal on your chest But in two more weeks - dead like the rest Running silent, Running deep, we are your final prayer, Warriors in secret sleep, a merchantman's nightmare, A silent death lies waiting for all of you below, Running silent, Running deep, sink into your silent sleep |

Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst No radar lock on - skin and bone The bomber boys are going home Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner You're a Tailgunner Nail that Fokker kill that son, Gonna blow your guts out with my gun, The weather forecasts good for War Cologne and Frankfurt?

I'd sail across the ocean
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?

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 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 |

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 |

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 |

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 |

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] |

Won't you come into my room,
I wanna show you all my wares. Want to see your blood, Want to stand and stare. See the blood begin to flow as it pours upon the floor. Iron Maiden can't be fought, Iron Maiden can't be sought.

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. |

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) |

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.

Feel the sweat break on my brow
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? |

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 |

I left 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 |

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 |

Up till now I'm doing the best I can Long roads, long days, of sunrise, to sunset Sunrise to sunset Dream on brother, 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 brother, while you can Dream on sister, 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 ** |

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. |

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?

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? |

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 |

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 |

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?

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 |

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 |

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 |

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 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? 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 will be gone Maybe then, you will see. 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 |

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...

(Smith/Dickinson/Harris)
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 |

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.

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne Got to get up for the coming attack. Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines Remove all the wheel blocks there's no time to waste Gathering speed as we head down the runway Gotta get airborne before it's too late Running, scrambling, flying Rolling, turning, diving, going in again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high Move in to fire at the mainstream of bombers Let off a sharp burst and then turn away Roll over, spin round and come in behind them Move to their blindsides and firing again Bandits at 8 o'clock move in behind us Ten ME-109's out of the sun Ascending and turning out spitfires to face them Heading straight for them I press my guns. Rolling, turning, diving Rolling, turning, diving, goin' again Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die Run, live to fly, fly to live, Aces high. |

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 |

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 |

You walk through the subway,
His eyes burn a hole in your back. A footstep behind you, He lunges prepared for attack. Scream for mercy, He laughs as he's watching you bleed. Killer behind you, His blood lust defies all his needs. My innocent victims Are slaughtered with wrath and despise, The mocking religion of hatred That burns in the night. I have no-one, Am bound to destroy All this greed. A voice inside me, Compelling to satisfy me. I can see, What a life's meant to be. You'll never know, How I came to foresee. My faith in believing is stronger Than lifelines and ties, With the glimmer of metal My moment is ready to strike. The death call arises, A scream breaks the still of the night. Another tomorrow Remember to walk in the light. I have found you, And now there is no place to run. Excitement shakes me, Oh God help me what have I done. Yeah I've done it again! He walks through the subway My eyes burn a hole through your back. A footstep behind you He lunges prepared for attack. Scream for mercy, He laughs as he's watching you bleed. Killer behind you, My blood lust defies all my needs. Look out I'm coming for you! |

I've been looking so long for you now, you won't get away from my grasp.
You've been living so long in hiding. Hiding behind that false mask. You know and I know that you ain't got that long to last, Your looks and feelings are just the remains of your past Standing in the wings there, you wait for the curtain to fall. Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all. I know that you're gonna scratch me and 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, don't fade away. 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 just floats through the air. You haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair |

Into the Abyss I'll fall- the eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night- watching me go Green is the cat's eye that glows- in this Temple Enter the risen Osiris-risen again. Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a God, Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies, All around is laid waste. And in my last hour, I'm a slave to the Power of Death. When I was living this lie-Fear was my game People would worship and fall- Drop to their knees. So bring me the blood and red wine For the one to succeed me, for he is a man and a God- And He will die too. Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a God, Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies, All around is laid to waste. And in my last hour, I'm a slave to the Power of Death. Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins, Silent the terror that reigned- Marbled in stone. A shell of a man God preserved- For a thousand ages, But open the gates of my Hell- I will strike from my grave. Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a God, Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies, All around is laid waste. And in my last hour, I'm a slave to the Power of Death, Slave to the Power of Death... Slave to the Power of Death... |

Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a God, Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies, All around is laid waste. And in my last hour, I'm a slave to the Power of Death, Slave to the Power of Death... Slave to the Power of Death... |

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) |

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. Chorus: 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. What became of the man that started, All are gone and their souls departed, Left me here in this place, So all alone. Chorus: Stranger in a strange land, Land of ice and snow, Trapped here in this prison, yeah! Lost and far from home. -Solo- What became of the man that started, All are gone and their souls departed, Left me here in this place, So all alone. Chorus: Stranger in a strange land, Land of ice and snow, Trapped here in this prison, yeah! Lost and far from home. |

Trace your way back 50 years
To the Glow of Dresden - blood and tears In the black above by the cruel search light Men will die and men will fight - yeah! Who shot who and who fired first? Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst No radar lock on - skin and bone The bomber boys are going home Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner You're a Tailgunner Nail that Fokker kill that son, Gonna blow your guts out with my gun, The weather forecasts good for War Cologne and Frankfurt? Have some more! Tail and Charlie in the boiling sky The Enola Gay was my last try Now that this tailgunner's gone No more Bombers (just one big bomb) Climb into the sky never wonder why - Tailgunner You're a Tailgunner |

Walk alone in the hills
with the wind in your face It feels good to be proud and be free and part of 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! (x4) 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 is mine I am the clansman ..... Freedom! No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We're 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 And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman |

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 |

I left alone my mind was blank
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 |

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. 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 |
