Gotta tell you a story
On a cold winters night You'll be sailin for glory Before you know what is right So come over here now I got a vision for you It's my personal snake oil It's just something I do I'm the jester with no tears And I'm playing on your fears I'm a trickster smiling underneath this mask of love and death The eternal lie I've told About the pyramids of gold I've got you hooked at every turn your money's left to burn You'll be wanting a contract You'll be waiting a while I'd like to give you my contact But that isn't my style Well you only get one chance And it's too good to miss If I gave a lot to ya Then I wouldn't exist Greed, lust and angry pride It's the same old, same old ride The smoke and mirrors visions that you see are just like me I'm a banker's face With just a letter out of place I know someone just like you knows someone just like me El Dorado come and play El Dorado step this way Take a ticket for the ride El Dorado streets of gold See those over sold You've got one last chance to try So gone is the glory And gone is the gold Well if you need a story I've come it has to be told Well you can say I'm a devil And I wouldn't say no But out here on the dark side Hey, on with the show So is told Big and bad and twice as bold This ship of fools is sinking as the cracks begin to grow There is no easy way For an honest man today Which is something you should think of as my life boat sails away El Dorado come and play El Dorado step this way Take a ticket for the ride El Dorado streets of gold See those over sold You've got one last chance to try |

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 |

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

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...

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

Blood Brothers
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.... |

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 |

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 |

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 .......... |

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 |

When I stand before you shining
In the early morning sun When I feel the engines roar And I think of what we've done Oh the bittersweet reflection As we kiss the earth goodbye As the waves and echoes of the towns Become the ghosts of time Over borders that divide the Earthbound tribes No creed and no religion Just a hundred winged souls We will ride this thunderbird Silver shadows on the earth A thousand leagues away Our land of birth To Albion's land Coming home when I see the runway lights In the misty dawn the night is fading fast Coming home far away As the vapour trails alight Where I've been tonight You know I will not stay Curving on the edge of daylight Till it slips into the void Waited in the long night dreaming Till the sun is born again Stretch the fingers of my hand Cover countries with my span Just a lonely satellite Speck of dust in cosmic sand Over borders that divide the Earthbound tribes Flown the dark Atlantic Over mariners stormy graves We will ride this thunderbird Silver shadows on the earth A thousand leagues away Our land of birth To Albion's land Coming home when I see the runway lights In the misty dawn the night is fading fast Coming home far away As the vapour trails alight Where I've been tonight You know I will not stay Coming home far away When I see the runway lights In the misty dawn the night is fading fast Coming home far away As the vapour trails alight Where I've been tonight You know I will not stay |

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 |

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 |

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

Afraid To Shoot Strangers
Harris Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow But it's not the fear 'cos I'd rather go now Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead The desert sand mound a burial ground When it comes to the time are we partners in crime? When it comes to the time we'll be ready to die God let us go now and finish what's to be done Thy Kingdom Come Thy shall be done... on earth Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go Should we live and let live Forget or forgive But how can we let them go on this way? The reign of terror corruption must end And we know deep down there's no other way No trust, no reasoning, no more to say. .. Afraid to shoot strangers Afraid to shoot strangers. .. Afraid to shoot strangers (x8) .. Afraid to shoot strangers... (x4 ) |

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. |

Have you heard what they said on the news today
Have you heard what is coming to us all? That the world as we know it will be coming to an end Have you heard, have you heard? He sees them in the distance when the darkened clouds roll He could feel tension in the atmosphere He would look in the mirror, see an old man now Does it matter they survive somehow They said there's nothing can be done about the situation They said there's nothing you can do at all To sit and wait around for something to occur Did you know, did you know? As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows Wonders if they'll ever grow again The desperation of the situation getting graver Getting ready when the wild wind blows Have you seen what they said on the news today Have you heard what they said about us all Do you know what is happening to just every one of us Have you heard, have you heard? There will be a catastrophe the like we've never seen There will be something that will light the sky That the world as we know it, it will never be the same Did you know, did you know? He carries everything into the shelter not a fuss Getting ready when the moment comes He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two Good to have because you never know They tell us nothing that we don't already know about They tell us nothing that is real at all They only fill us with the stuff that they want Did you know, did you know? He's nearly finished with the preparations for the day He's getting tired; that'll do for now They are preparing for the very worst to come to them Getting ready when the wild wind blows He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down Upside down He sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face Saying Grace Remember times they had, they flash right through his mind Left behind Of a lifetime spent together long ago Will be gone They've been preparing for some weeks now For when the crucial moment comes To take their refuge in the shelter Let them prepare for what will come They make a tea and sit there waiting They're in the shelter feeling snug Not long to wait for absolution Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait Can't believe all the lying, All the screens are denying That the moments of truth have begun Can't you see it on the T.V.? Don't believe them in the least bit Now the days of our ending have begun Say a prayer when it's all over Survivors unite, all as one Got to try and help each other Got the will to overcome I can't believe all the lying All the screens are denying That the moments of truth have begun Can't you see it on the T.V.? Don't believe them in the least bit Now the days of our ending have begun When they found them, had their arms wrapped around each other Their tins of poison laying near by their clothes The day they both mistook an earthquake for the fallout Just another when the wild wind blows |
