Winged with steel they fill the air The soldiers of fortune will ride In the sights of the enemy's gun Those who have taken their oaths tonight Are well prepared they know they'll Do or die even if it's suicide
Let's take a chance As the skies will Burn tonite Wasted lives and spirits run free On the wings of no return
Dressed to kill where eagles dare The fate of a nation's at hand Is this the answer to the prayers Come the dawn, thru the blood Red skies return with tears In their eyes, and they Recall thou shalt not kill
And in the morning They'll take a hero's bow And make the ever lasting flight
Hear them calling up above all Across the skies Hear them calling up above from The other side
Here them call!
Let's take a chance As the skies will burn tonite Wasted lives and spirits run free On the wings of no return
Let's take a chance As the skies will burn tonite Wasted lives and spirits run free On the wings of no return
No one said it had to be this way Why are we the victims of their final word
Dying world is killing us so slowly I believe no god may save us now
Can't you see what I see Sinners say your prayers tonite Your judgement day is here
Child tomorrow will die, not even Born jesus our questions He never seems to hear Dying for the answers may be The price we pay, to find the Key to our lives Is there a heaven is there a hell Who's this god, tell me there's No god above, why We chose what lord, deep Within our souls He's not one thing We are his spirit We could save this world From destruction day Can't you see what I see
You and I victims of their word As the masters of power Try to poison our world
Greed money taken over Their souls, you're Just mechanical brains Politicians don't know Just don't know We can change this world we Live in, don't let it die
All your life you've been slipping and sliding Trying to find a way Sun won't shine but now it's your time to pay There's no turning back as you look The hangman in the eye
Now hell's just your death away
It's too late to say you care When there's evil in your stare You say you're not to blame In your head voices mocking every prayer
Remember the face you saw That once was you Spirit high there's no way that You could lose Give him rope they said As you look the hangman in the eye Now around your neck you feel The noose
In your head voices mocking every prayer Now you're lost forever
I'm burning with fire it's time to Leave or get out I'm burning in fire I can't take No more so get out I'm burning with fire the wheels of Steel will grind you Burning in fire this time You're lost forever Lost forever!
There's an evil in your stare Lost forever! And hell's just a breath away You're lost forever And there's no way out you burn With fire it's time to get out Get out, get out And there's no way out Lost forever
Close my eyes starting dreaming See a vision filled with wings Head my way Feel the presence of unknown power Telling me to come This is the only way
It's dream within dream Lost and lonely Don't get pulled by the devil's hand
Silent screamer filled with fear As the night time shapes a face Then disappears Scared forever into believing That your mind has met the Prince of whom you see
It's dream within dream Lost and lonely Don't get fooled by the Devil's hand
It's dream within dream Fool forever, don't get fooled Forever Don't get fooled, be the devil
In your eyes The evil spirit rises Blinded by the dark You fall into shame As the reaper takes you Down the spiral stairway You share the evil pit With satan's name
Nightmare it's got me runnin' Nightmare it's calling you Nightmare it's got me runnin' Nightmare it's calling you
It's dream within a dream Lost and lonely Don't get fooled, be the devil
It's dream within a dream Lost forever Don't get fooled
It's got me running It's just a nightmare It's got me running It's got me running
I'll play your game But if you lose you're gonna have to pay the price Broken chains, like a prisoner free at last The fear inside just up and died Time will tell if i am wrong
It won't be too long You think I'm chasing shadows In the dark Well I'm not born to lose I'm not born to lose
You curse my name, as you turn and walk away, from view It won't be too long You don't scare me cos you're Hard to see and it's time That you were gone It won't be too long
You think I'm chasing shadows In the dark Well I'm not born to lose
You think I'm chasing shadows In the dark What you gonna do about it now What you gonna do about it now
It won't be too long It won't be too long It won't be too long
You think I'm chasing shadows In the dark What you gonna do about it now What you gonna do about it now

Livin' in the fast lane is easy Till you run out of road Friends will turn to strangers When you're out of control A slip of the tongue when It's done, is often hard to See it thru So never let your words be lies Or they'll come looking for you
It's a hard life to love
For the price of glory you left And threw your fortunes away Never really cared too much for The job or the pay
You're standing in the rain with No cover but you never complain You're an angry young man face to Face but your mirrors insane It's a hard life to love
I'm simply refusing a part in your world And I see how it burns See how it burns And you're simply denying the fact That you're blind and I see no more I see red - I only see red
Think of all the times I was Hurting but you felt no pain Think of all the lies you told me Again and again And still you see the truth From those who continue to lie And now you're seeking life From those who are living to die It's a hard life to love
I'm simply refusing a part in your world And I see how it burns See how it burns And you're simply denying the fact That you're blind and I see no more I see red - I only see red
Livin' in the fast lane ain't easy When you run out of road Friends will turn to strangers When you've nowhere to go Don't give a damn when you're lost Cause you'll die from it all Laws were made to be broken And you do it for the thrill of it all It's a hard life to love It's a hard life to love
There's no end - there's no beginning To the old man's story Does he still remember me From lives gone by Oh I see his spirit rising Upon the back of time I've got nowhere to hide Will he keep a place for me
He is the king of all kings The keeper of light He holds eternity's wings
In his eyes an ocean's burning Swollen seas of tears Troubled mind the beating War drums in his ears No one ever hears his warning Am I the one he calls When they tell me they're afraid Some say I'll be put away
He is the king of all kings The keeper of light He holds eternity's wings My blood will spill my blood
My blood will spill my blood
In the wisdom of the prophet's Never ending tale Open up the eyes Within your mind, he says Crowned in his ancient glory There's a king within us all Some will say it's all in vain That he doesn't have a name
He is the king of all kings The keeper of light He holds eternity's wings
There's a man who sees all there is to see What the future holds for all As the days grow dark with the grim and final warning Beware of the ones with invisible friends They will steal into your mind And all too soon the signs begin to show
Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again Fools again
As the pages turn and the story's told From the visions he's seen The house on the hill With the haunted eyes that call Noone laughed as madness came out To play it's game If you stay too long you'll finally go insane
Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again Fools again
Bells will take their toll On your way There's no way we're born to shine Before our time, all your life You're on your own Lonely road Lost in a time Let the light lead your way To the golden throne It's the only way
Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up to the shining Don't be blind by fools again Rise up to the shining Live long live now Rise up the shining Don't be blind by fools again
Oh rise up, to the shining Wise up they're gonna steal your mind Rise up, the house is gonna haunt you No one laughed, no one cried You stayed too long You're finally gonna stay

Now the corporations stopped! Stopped pushing fast food Been a multiple shooting Downtown at the bank Reluctantly the panic begins To catch fire But it did not affect The steady sale of jun The state office looked It looked like Hollywood With make-up bleeding all over the cracks Wo he blew his lines Facing the cameras He suffered the first
CHORUS All live heart attack Oh you've caught an even atom tan
The motor-cyanide Cyanide suicide He finally found the brick wall in his life Shining up his engine He dressed right up for it At the top of the speedo He crumpled the bike There's plenty people runnin' runnin' for cover- Hoping at best to hold off al the rest Once last stand at the bunker fire Machine gun and pitchfork and breast
CHORUS
But it isn't so easy So easy for lovers Chained in love Stained at the top of the tower The pink hearse is leaving at funeral speed Driving your heart Away with the flowers All night I waited I waited for a horseman His ever faithful His Indian friend I'm not the only one Of the caped crusader fan club watching the sky For mankind's friend

Now the king told the boogie men You have to let that raga drop The oil down the desert way Has been shakin' to the top The sheik he drove his Cadillac He went a' cruisnin' down the ville The muezzin was a' standing On the radiator grille
CHORUS The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah The shareef don't like it Rockin' the Casbah Rock the Casbah
By order of the prophet We ban that boogie sound Degenerate the faithful With that crazy Casbah sound But the Bedouin they brought out The electric camel drum The local guitar picker Got his guitar picking thumb As soon as the shareef Had cleared the square They began to wail
CHORUS
Now over at the temple Oh! They really pack 'em in The in crowd say it's cool To dig this chanting thing But as the wind changed direction The temple band took five The crowd caught a wiff Of that crazy Casbah jive

As soon as the shareef was Chauffeured outta there The jet pilots tuned to The cockpit radio blare
As soon as the shareef was Outta their hair The jet pilots wailed
CHORUS
