Tattooed boys with expensive toys.
Living in a bubble of sin. Money can buy you most of anything. Fix your nose or the mess your in. Front page news you can share your views. With a population that wants to be like you. Out on the strip. Out on the tiles. Same old greed behind the PR smiles. You and all your entourage. To me you're all the same. You and all your entourage. Playing foolish games. CHORUS: I don't want your big city shining. I don't want your silver lining. I don't wanna be a tattooed millionaire. He's got a wife, she ain't no brain child. Ex mud queen of Miami. In his stretch Cadillac, he keeps her in the back. With his CD player and his bottle of Jack. LA dude. LA attitude. Laid back, selfish and getting fat. Body guards, Porn Stars, Gold credit cards. Using each other. Running for cover. REPEAT CHORUS |

For too long now, there were secrets in my mind
For too long now, there were things I should have said In the darkness...i was stumbling for the door To find a reason - to find the time, the place, the hour Waiting for the winter sun, and the cold light of day The misty ghosts of childhood fears The pressure is building, and I cant stay away I throw myself into the sea Release the wave, let it wash over me To face the fear I once believed The tears of the dragon, for you and for me Where I was, I had wings that couldnt fly Where I was, I had tears I couldnt cry My emotions frozen in an icy lake I couldnt feel them until the ice began to break I have no power over this, you know Im afraid The walls I built are crumbling The water is moving, Im slipping away... I throw myself into the sea Release the wave, let it wash over me To face the fear I once believed The tears of the dragon, for you and for me Slowly I awake, slowly I rise The walls I built are crumbling The water is moving, Im slipping away... I throw (I throw) Myself (myself) Into the sea Release the wave, let it wash over me To face (to face) The fear (the fear) I once believed The tears of the dragon, for you and for me I throw (I throw) Myself (myself) Into the sea Release the wave, let it wash over me To face (to face) The fear (the fear) I once believed The tears of the dragon, for you and for me |

There are twelve commandments
There are twelve divisions Twelve are the pagans who have mapped the sky In the outer circle To the inner sanctum From the octave at the end of time The fountain, the trinity The pilgrim is searching for blood (searching for his blood) To look for his own free will The stone of infinity, washed in the flood Lovers in the tower The moon and sun divided, and the hanged man smiles Lovers in the tower The moon and sun divided, let the fool decide In the atom circle Where we break the stars Hammer into anvil, stuffing out the sun Witness all the killing See the birth of Mars Our religion thrown into the fire The fountain, the trinity The pilgrim is searching for blood (searching for his blood) To look for his own free will The stone of infinity, washed in the flood Lovers in the tower The moon and sun divided, the hanged man smiles Lovers in the tower The moon and sun divided, the magician laughs Lovers in the tower The moon and sun divided, and the priestess kneels (priestess kneels) Lovers in the tower The moon and sun divided, let the fool decide Lovers in the tower The moon and sun divided, and the hanged man smiles Lovers in the tower The moon and sun divided, let the fool decide Lovers in the tower The moon and sun divided, the priestess kneels to receive Lovers in the tower The moon and sun divided, the magician laughs |

On and on
Born in a mining town in '58 When black and white T.V. was up to date And men were still around Who fought for freedom, stood their ground and died That I could be alive and see The damage that we've managed since In this sceptred Isle Is nothing sacred, just the one square mile Justice and liberty You can buy, but you don't get free In a world of steel and glass We bury our past On and on, we slept till dawn When we awoke, we hardly spoke My grandfather taught me how to fight Old fashioned stuff like wrong and right But all around I see his morals Buried in a mess of money troubles Born in a mining town in '58 When black and white T.V. was up to date And men were still around Who fought for freedom, stood their ground and died Justice and liberty You can buy, but you don't get free In a world of steel and glass We bury our past On and on, we slept till dawn On and on and on Justice and liberty You can buy, but you don't get free In a world of steel and glass We bury our past Justice and liberty You can buy, but you don't get free In a world of steel and glass We bury our past On and on, we slept till dawn When we awoke, it was... all the same |

Journey back to the dark side, back into the womb
Back to where the spirits move like vapor from the tomb The center of the cyclone, blowing out the sun Break the shackles of your union to the light I might've had a brother As I was born, they dragged him under To the other side of twilight He's waiting for me now Nativity was lost on me I didn't ask, I couldn't see What created me? What and where and how? Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you Welcome home - we've opened up the gates Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters Welcome home - to an accident of birth Feel our bodies breathing as you try to stop believing There's nothing you can do about your shadows You can fight us, you are like us And your body will betray you Lay down and die like all the others Where are the angels and their wings of freedom? Jesus had his day off when they pulled you through... Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you Welcome home - we've opened up the gates Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters Welcome home - to an accident of birth ...to an accident of birth Vision's growing dim as the daylight fades away A spinning, twisting black hole - it's your dying day Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you Welcome home - we've opened up the gates Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters Welcome home - to an accident of birth Welcome home - it's been too long, we've missed you Welcome home - we've opened up the gates Welcome home - to your brothers and sisters Welcome home - to an accident of birth |

Sound of merlins fired up and their spoiling for the fight
1000 bombers ready, it's the target for tonight Deeper into Germany but we all know the score I know that I'm not coming back like those that did before Now the flare gun fires and we get the go Say goodbye to the earth below Tonight on silver wings I am soaring through the mountains of the moon On silver wings Flying where no angels fly I have brought these engins to the very jaws of hell Metal hearts are beating through this hail of shot and shell Terror from the skies where the angels fear to tread Nothing in my eyes, I am the living dead Now the searchlight blinding us with its light Can't shake this one off tonight Tonight on silver wings I am soaring through the mountains of the moon On silver wings Flying where no angels fly The sky is bleeding gasoline and fuel is running low Tanks are blown to pieces Soon the wing is gonna go All the crew have bailed out over Essen long ago But every night since 45 this bomber boy has stayed alive I can't believe she's still in the sky Me and my merlins fly Tonight on silver wings I am soaring through the mountains of the moon On silver wings Flying where no angels fly On silver wings I am soaring through the mountains of the moon On silver wings I can touch the place of God' |

The second hellrider came
From flaming seas and molten sands Half his play in Hell's commands Hauled out his poison With his promises of promised lands Glad, good times of lying leaders Here come the riders As the wheel of time's running out of time Here come the riders As the wheel of time's running out of time The third hellrider came Teaching brothers to kill brother man And the fourth hellrider waits On an acid trail for an acid world Walls of old religions' fools and superstitious men Throws some scary Tarot cards and... Here come the riders As the wheel of time's running out of time Here come the riders As the weird illusion's stepping out to light The Darkside of Aquarius Has robbed us of our souls and minds Here come the riders As the wheel of time's running out of time From the star-lit sky on a silver sea A lonely silver surfer comes to push the wheel for me A lonely silver surfer comes to push the wheel for me Gotta move, gotta move Gotta move that wheel right 'round Gotta move, gotta move Gotta move that wheel right 'round Gotta move, gotta move Gotta move that wheel around Gotta push the wheel of time around Push the wheel of time around Push the wheel of time around Push the wheel right 'round, right now, yeah I've gotta move the wheel of time, I've Gotta move the wheel of time, I've Gotta move the wheel of time, oh Move that wheel right around |

How happy is the human soul
Not enslaved by dull control Left to dream and roam and play Shed the guilt of former days Walking on the foggy shore Watch the waves come rolling home Through the veil of pale moonlight My shadow stretches out its hand... CHORUS: (x2) And so we lay We lay in the same grave Our chemical wedding day Floating in the endless blue My seed of doubt I leave to you Let it wither on the ground Treat it like a plague you found All my dreams that were outside In living colour, now alive And all the lighthouses Their beams converge to guide me home... CHORUS: (x2) SOLO CHORUS: (x2) |

A silent river flowing black
Strange attractors no turning back Present danger I recall That pins my senses to the wall Back from the edge, where the darkness has fled And I'm swimming in light and I'm falling Falling from the edge, back from the edge I fell from grace and that's a fact I still have urges, I fight back Cold decisions wear me thin Kill yourself, begin again Back from the edge, where you're not worth a damn Throw yourself into light and the rush as you spin from the edge Back from the edge, back from the edge, back from the edge Now and then I wonder where the faces from my childhood have gone Like father, like son, in your bones it lives on glowing shadows Back from the edge Back from the edge Back from the edge Back from the edge |

Slowly bleeding, watch the vortex feeding
Like a swirling vulture on your face Every hour the unseen rays devour Your screaming eyes cry out, but they are blind Father forgive me my sins, give me the nails, I'll hammer them in The road to hell is full of good intentions Say farewell, we may never meet again The road to hell is full of good intentions Down the lefthand highway with no sinister regrets Brave new world of secret fantasy That hovers just beyond your bloody grasp Close enough to thrill, the danger of the kill Price for failure of your will Father forgive us our sins, 'cause we are the junkies Who never can win The road to hell is full of good intentions Say farewell, we may never meet again The road to hell is full of good intentions Down the lefthand highway with no sinister regrets Father forgive me my sins, give me the nails, I'll hammer them in The road to hell is full of good intentions Parody of hope is the one that I must kill We all have to live with our family inventions Down the lefthand highway with no sinister regrets The road to hell is full of good intentions Say farewell, we may never meet again The road to hell is full of good intentions Down the lefthand highway with no sinister regrets |

The mark is on you now
The furnace sealed inside your head Melting from the inside now Waxy tears run down your face The whore that never told her tale Relives it every night with you Far off stands the lamb and waits For the wolf to come and end its life Stand inside the temple as the book of thel is opening The priestess stands before you Offering her hand out rising Come the dawning of the dead Infamine and in war Now the harlot womb of death Spits out its rotten core Serpent on the altar now Has wrapped itself around your spine So you look into its mouth And you kiss the pearly fangs divine Happy that your end is swift The weeping virgin cries in bliss The snake and priestess they are one The veil of flesh is ripped undone Standing inside the temple as the book of thel is opening The priestess stands before you Offering her hand out shes rising comes the dawning of the dead in famine and in war Now the harlot womb of death Spits out its srotten core By the pricking of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes And when sleep takes you tonight Will you wake to see the light? The burning sweat of poison tears The river flowing with red blood The cradle robbing hand of death Caresses every dreaming head Waiting for the marriage hearse To take you to the funeral pyre So you burn the family tree The generations burnig higher Stand inside the temple as the book of thel is opening the priestess ands before you Offering her hand out, rising Come the dawning of the dead Infamine and in war Now harlot womb of death Spits out its rotten core by the pricking of my thumbs Something wicked this way comes and when sleep takes you tonight Will you wake to see the light? By the dawning of the dead By the dawning of the dead |
