Nicko Mcbrain [Drum]

I get in from work at 2:00 A.M.
And sit down with a beer
Turn on late-night TV
And then wonder why I'm here
It's meaningless and trivial
And it washes over me
And once again, I wonder
Is this all there is for me?

Here I am again
Look at me again
Here I am again
On my on
Trying hard to see
What there is for me
Here I am again
On my own

Life seems so pathetic
I wish I could leave it all behind
This canvas chair, this bed,
These walls that fall in on my mind
Hold on for something better
That just drags you through the dirt
Do you just let go or carry on
And try to take the hurt?

Here I am again
Look at me again
Here I am again
On my own
Trying hard to see
What there is for me
Here I am again
On my own!

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 killer's 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 our babies.

*Repeat

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.

*Repeat

Midnight...all night...

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.

If you're feeling down, depressed, and lonely,
I know a place where we can go.
22, Acacia Avenue, meet a lady that I know.
So if you're looking for a good time,
And you're prepared to pay the price.
Fifteen quid is all she asks for,
Everybody's got their vice.

If you're waiting for a long time,
For the rest to do their piece.
You can tell her that you know me,
And you might even get it free.
So any time you're down the East End,
Don't you hesitate to go,
You can take my honest word for it,
She'll teach you more than you can know.

Charlotte, can't you get out from all this madness
Can't you see it only brings you sadness
When you entertain your men
Don't know the risk of getting disease?

Some day when you're reaching the age of forty
I bet you'll regret the days when you were laying
Nobody then will want to know
You wont have any beautiful wares to show any more

22, the Avenue, thats the place where we all go
You will find its warm inside, the red lights burning bright tonight.

Charlotte, isn't it time you stopped all this mad life.
Don't you ever think about the bad times.
Why do you have to live this way.
Do you enjoy the lay or is it the pay.

Sometimes when you're strolling down the avenue,
The way you walk, it makes men think of having you.
When you're walking down the street,
Everybody stops and turns to stare, at you.

22, the Avenue, that's the place where we all go.
You will find it's warm inside,
The red light's burning bright tonight.

Beat her, mistreat her, do anything that you please.
Bite her, excite her, make her get down on her knees.
Abuse her, misuse her, she can take all that you've got.
Caress her, molest her, she always does what you want.

You're running away, don't you know what you're doing?
Can't you see it'll lead you to ruin?
Charlotte, you've taken your life and you've thrown it away.

You believe that because what you're earning,
Your life's good, don't you know that you're hurting,
All the people that love you, don't cast them aside.

All the men that are constantly drooling,
It's no life for you, stop all that screwing.
You're packing your bags, you're coming with me.

If you're feeling down, depressed, and lonely,
I know a place where we can go.
22, Acacia Avenue, meet a lady that I know.

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 wheelblocks 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 our spitfires to face them
Heading straight for them I press down my guns

Rolling, turning, diving
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.

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid

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.

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

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 visualize the horrors that
will lay ahead
The desert sand mound a burial ground

When it comes to the time
Are we partners in crime?
When it comes to the time
We'll be ready to die

God let us go now and finish what's
to be done
Thy Kingdom Come
Thy shall be done... on earth

Trying to justify to ourselves the
reasons to go
Should we live and let live
Forget or forgive

But how can we let them go on this way?
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

Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not the fear 'cos I'd rather go now

Out of the winter came a war horse of steel.
I've never killed a woman before, but I know how it feels.

*I know you'd have gone insane if you saw what I saw.
So now I've got to look for sanctuary from the law.
So give me sanctuary from the law and I'll be alright.
Just give me sanctuary from the law and love me tonight, tonight.

I met up with a 'slinger last night to keep me alive.
He spends all his money on gambling and guns to survive.

*Repeat

I can laugh at the wind, I can howl at the rain.
Down in the Canyon or out in the plain.

Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat

I can't be compromising in my thoughts no more
I can't prevent the times my anger fills my heart
I can't be sympathyzing with a new lost cause
I feel I've lost my patience with the world and all

And all the politicians and their hollow promises
And all the lies, deceit and shame that goes with it
The working man pays everything for their mistakes
And with his life too if there was to be a war

So we only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream

A life of petty crime gets punished with a holiday
The victims' minds are scarred for life most everyday
Assailants know just how much further they can go
They know the laws are soft conviction chances low

So we only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream

You can't protect yourselves even in your own home
For fear of vigilante cries the victims wipe their tears
So now the criminals they laugh right in our face
Judicial system lets them do it, a disgrace

Despondent public worries where it all will end
we can't protect ourselves our kids from crime the trend
We cannot even warn each other of evil in our midst
They have more rights than us, you cannot call that just

So we only get one chance can we take it
And we only get one life can't exchange it
Can we hold on to what we have don't replace it
The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream

The age of innocence is fading..... Like an old dream

"My Son ask for thyself another
Kingdom, for that which I leave
Is too small for thee"
(King Philip of Macedonia - 339 BC)

Near to the East
In a part of ancient Greece
In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son
To Philip of Macedon
The legend his name was Alexander
In the age of nineteen
He became the Macedon King
And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
By the Aegean Sea
In 334 BC
He utterly beat the armies of Persia

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men

King Darius the third
Defeated fled Persia
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria

By the Tigris river
He met king Darius again
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon
And Susa, treasures he found
Took Persepolis the capital of Persia

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend amongst mortal men

A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the "Gordian Knot"
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia

Helonism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mined
Their culture was a Western way of life
He paved the way for Christianity

Marching on, marching on

The battle weary marching side by side
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory

Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon

Turn the spotlights on the people,
Switch the dial and eat the worm.
Take your chances, kill the engine,
Drop your bombs and let it burn.

White flags shot to ribbons,
The truce is black and burned,
Shellshock in the kitchen,
Tables overturned.

*Back in the village again,
In the village.
I'm back in the village again.

Throwing dice now, rolling loaded,
I see sixes all the way.
In a black hole, and I'm spinning
As my wings get shot away.

No breaks on the inside,
Paper cats and burning barns,
There's a fox among the chickens,
And a killer in the hounds.

Questions are a burden
And answers are a prison for oneself
Shellshock in the kitchen
Tables start to burn.

*Repeat

But still we walk into the valley
And others try to kill the inner flame
We're burning brighter than before
I don't have a number, I'M A NAME!

*Repeat

Covered in sinners and dripping

Making you money from slime

Parading your bellies in ivory towers
Investing our lives in your schemes

You've got to watch them - Be quick

So pull yourself stupid and rob
yourself blind

(spoken into)
(Bruce) 'What the fuck is that?'
(Nerd) 'Hi, guys, are you in a band or something? I mean it
would be so cool if you were in a band 'cos you're Driving a
big bus with band on the front of it'
(Bruce) 'Why don't you shut up and get on board will ya?'
(Nerd) 'Wow! I have it here you got a stereo and a microwave
And, and you got a beer, I'd like a Heineken if you've got
one' that's real cool, that's great, yeah!'
(Bruce) 'Would you like to see Black Bart?'
(Nerd) 'Who's Black Bart?'
(Bruce) 'Let me introduce you'

Black Bart's seen it
Black Bart knows
Black Bart's done it
The Black Bart blues
Suspended in suspension
Many evil nights in Tennessee, and elsewhere
We all got to try the Black Bart blues

Black Bart's truckin' ain't what it seems
Black Bart's lookin'
Don't know where she's been
Maybe she's an acrobat
Spends her evenings dancing on a pole
We all got to try the Black Bart blues
Black Bart tried most anything
Black Bart liked it but he couldn't sing
So he asked me to tell ya
Try it for yourself and you will see
We all got to try the Black Bart blues

(spoken)
(Bruce) 'What did you do that for?'
(Nerd) 'I'm sorry, I just..., I guess I'm not used to...
(Bruce) 'Shut up and get on with it will you'

Black Bart's livin' across the ocean now
Black Bart's lookin' to come back somehow
So if you are a dancer,
You could dance his pole in May
That's a maypole

Black Bart's coming
Now Black Bart's gone
Black Bart did it so I wrote this song
Whatever and however,
In and out or several at a time mmm yes!
We all got to do the Black Bart blues
Here comes the guitar solo

We all got to try the Black Bart blues
Yowsa! Yowsa! Yowsa!

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....

And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life....

Sometimes it makes me wonder
Sometimes it makes me question
Sometimes it makes me sadden
Always, it makes me angry, but...

When you can see it happening?
The madness that's all around you
Nobody seems to worry
The world seems so powerless to act....

It's out of control
Blood on the world's hands
Each day, a new toll

Another assassination
The same day, a new creation
But what are they coming into?
Security of a world that brings....

One day, another killing
Somewhere, there's someone starving
Another, a savage raping
Meanwhile, there's someone laughing at us

It's out of control
Blood on the world's hands
Each day, it goes on

Blood on the world's hands

Brutality and aggression
Tomorrow, another lesson
Expecting another air raid
Praying for a ceasefire

They say things are getting better
No need to be complacent
There's chaos across the border
And one day, it could be happening to us

It's out of control
Blood on the world's hands
It's our epitaph
It's out of control
Someone should know
Blood on the world's hands
Someone should?

Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear
I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home

Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all
Close this mind dull this brain, Messiah before his fall
What you see is not real, those who know will not tell
All is lost sold your souls to this brave new world

A brave new world, in a brave new world
A brave new world, in a brave new world
In a brave new world, a brave new world

Dragon kings dying queens, where is salvation now
Lost my life lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh

We are not the sons of God
We are not His chosen people now
We have crossed the path He trod
We will feel the pain of His beginning

Shadow fingers rise above
Iron fingers stab the desert sky
Oh, behold the power of man
On its tower, ready for the fall

Knocking heads together well
Raise a city; build a living hell
Join the race to suicide
Listen for the tolling of the bell

Out of the universe
A strange love is born
Unholy union
Trinity reformed

Yellow sun, its evil twin
In the black, the wings deliver him
We will split our souls within
Atom seed to nuclear dust is risen

Out of the universe
A strange love is born
Unholy union
Trinity reformed

Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns

Bury your morals and bury your dead
Bury your head in the sand
E = MC squared, you can relate
How we made God with our hands

Whatever would Robert have said to his God
About how we made war with the Sun?
E = MC squared, you can relate
How we made God with our hands

All the nations are rising
Through acid veils of love and hate
Chain letters of Satan
Uncertainty lead us all to this

All the nations are rising
Through acid veils of love and hate
Cold fusion and fury

Divide and conquer while ye may
Others preach and others fall and pray
In the bunkers, where we'll die
Where the executioners, they lie

Bombers launch with no recall
Minute warning of the missile fall
Take a look at your last sky
Guessing you won't have the time to cry

Out of the universe
A strange love is born
Unholy union
Trinity reformed

Out of the darkness
Out of the darkness
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns
Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns

Holy Father, we have sinned

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

honey its getting close to midnight
and all the myths are 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

So you think you can own me, well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain't like those
other men
There's something burning inside me that makes me want to be free
And when I get these feelings honey, you better keep away from me

There's things in life now, baby, that I know I've got to do
And I need your love now, baby, to help me see it through
So you think you can own me, well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain't like those
other men

So you think you can own me, well you'd better just think again
You'd better watch your steps now, woman, cause I ain't like those
other men

And when I get these feelings honey, you better keep away from me

Give me the sense to wonder
To wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder
To know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up

Can I play with madness - there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness - the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness - he said you're blind too blind to see

I screamed aloud to the old man
I said don't lie don't say you don't know
I say you'll pay for your mischief
In this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance
And the hell fires raged in his eyes

If you had the time to lose,
An open mind and time to choose,
Would you care to take a look,
Or can you read me like a book?

Time is always on my side,
Time is always on my side.

Can I tempt you, come with me,
Be Devil may care, fulfill your dream,
If I said I'd take you there,
Would you go, would you be scared?

Time is always on my side,
Time is always on my side.

Don't be afraid, you're safe with me,
Safe as any soul can be ... honestly,
Just let yourself go.

Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time ... oh oh

Like a wolf in sheep's clothing,
You try to hide your deepest sins,
Of all the things that you've done wrong,
And I know where you belong.

Time is always on my side,
Time is always on my side.

Make you an offer you can't refuse,
You've only got your soul to lose...
Eternally...Just let yourself go!

Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught now in two minds!

There's a madman in the corner of
your eye
He likes to pry - into your sunlight
He wants to burst into the street
with you and I
A world of shadows and of rain
He's seen what love is...
He wants to pay you back with guilt...

He lies to you he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned your key
He holds your chains of misery

There's a prophet in the gutter
in the street
He say "you're damned!" -
and you believe him...
He's got a vision but it shines out
through your eyes
A world of hatred and fear...
He's felt what love means...
He wants to pay you back with pain

He lies to you - he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned the key
He holds your chains of misery

It's only love that holds the key to
our hearts...
It's only love...

He lies to you he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned the key
He holds your chains of misery

He lies to you he won't let you be
He's got your chains of misery
He won't be still till he's turned the key
He holds your chains of misery

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're
saying?
Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're
giving.
Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're
after?
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all the
laughter?

*Charlotte the Harlot show me your legs,
Charlotte the Harlot take me to bed.
Charlotte the Harlot let me see blood,
Charlotte the Harlot let me see love.

Taking so many men to your room, don't you feel no remorse?
You charge them a "fiver", It's only for starters.
And ten for the main course.
And you've got no feelings, they died long ago.
Don't you care who you let in?
And don't you know you're breaking the law with the service you're
giving.

* Repeat

There was a time when you left me standing there,
Picking up pieces of love off the floor.
Well Charlotte you left me alone in there,
To make your ends as a bloody whore.
Well Charlotte you told me you love me true,
Picking up pieces of love yesterday.
Well Charlotte you're draws are off color too
'Cause you're making love all day.

Giving a swish with your arse in the air, don't you know what they're
saying?
Charlotte you're so refined when you take all the love that they're
giving.
Sticking with every man that you find, don't you know what they're
after?
Charlotte you've got your legs in the air, don't you hear all the
laughter?

* Repeat

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?

No hope, no life, just pain and fear
No food, no love, no seed

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

Como esta amigo
For the death of those we don't go
Shall we kneel and say a prayer
They will never know we care
Shall we keep the fires burning
Shall we keep the flames alight
Should we try to remember
What is wrong and what is right

No more tears, no more tears
If we live for a hundred years
Amigos no more tears

And if we do forget them
and the sacrifice they made
Will the wickedness and sadness
come to visit us again
Shall we dance the dance in sunlight
Shall we drink the wine of peace
Shall our tears be of joy
Shall we keep at bay the beast

Inside the scream is silent
Inside it must remain
No victory and no vanquished
Only horror, only pain

Who would be a poor man a beggerman, a thief
if he had a rich man in his hand
Who would steal the candy from a laughing baby's mouth
if he could take it from the money man

Cross-eyed Mary goes jumping in again
She signs no contract but she always plays the game
She dines in Hampstead village on expense accounted gruel
and the jack knife barber drops her off at school

Laughing in the playground gets no kicks from little boys
would rather make it with a letching gray
Or maybe her attention is drawn by Aqualung
who watches through the railings as they play

Cross-eyed Mary finds it hard to get along.
She's a poor man's rich girl and she'll do it for a song
She's a rich man's stealer but her favour's good and strong
She's the Robin Hood of Highgate helps the poor man get along

Let me tell you a story to chill the bones,
'bout a thing that I saw.
One night wandering in the everglades.
I had one drink but no more.

I was rambling, enjoying the bright moonlight.
Gazing up at the stars.
Not aware of a presence so near to me.
Watching my every move.

Feeling scared and I fell to my knees.
As something rushed me from the trees.
Took me to an unholy place.
And that is where I fell from grace.

Then they summoned me over to join in with them.
To the dance of the dead
In to the circle of fire I followed them.
In to the middle I was led.

As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear,
but still I wanted to go.
And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me.
As I walked onto the coals.

And I felt I was in a trance.
And my spirit was lifted from me
And if only someone had the chance.
To witness what happened to me.

And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them.
All had death in their eyes.
Lifeless figures they were undead all of them.
They had ascended from hell.

As I danced with the dead my free spirit was laughing
and howling down at me.
Below my undead body, just danced the circle of death.

Until the time came to reunite us both.
My spirit came back down to me
I didn't know if I was alive or dead.
As the others all joined in with me.

By luck then a skirmish started.
And took the attention away from me
When they took their gaze from me.
Was the moment that I fled.

I ran like hell faster than the wind.
But behind I did not glance
One thing that I did not dare.
Was to look just straight ahead.

When you know that your time has come around.
You know you'll be prepared for it.
Say your last goodbyes to everyone.
Drink and say a prayer for it.

When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead

To this day I guess I'll never know.
Just why they let me go.
But I'll never go dancing no more.
'Til I dance with the dead.

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.

My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me.
Below my undead body just danced the circle of dead.

Until the time came to reunite us both,
My spirit came back down to me.
I didn't know if I was alive or dead,
As the others all joined in with me.

By luck then a skirmish started,
And took the attention away from me.
When they took their gaze from me,
Was the moment that I fled.

I ran like hell faster than the wind
But behind I did not glance.
One thing that I did not dare,
Was to look just straight ahead.

When you know that your time has come around,
You know you'll be prepared for it.
Say your last goodbyes to everyone,
Drink and say a prayer for it.

When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed,
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead.
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed,
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead.

To this day I guess I'll never know,
Just why they let me go.
But I'll never go dancing no more,
'Til I dance with the dead.

When you see familiar faces,
But you don't remember where they're from,
Could you be wrong?
When you've been particular places,
That you know you've never been before,
Can you be sure?
'Cause you know this has happened before,
And you know that this moment in time is for real,
And you know when you feel Deja vu.

Feel like I've been here before,
Feel like I've been here before.

Ever had a conversation,
That you realise you've had before,
Isn't it strange?
Have you ever talked to someone,
And you feel you know what's coming next?
It feels pre-arranged.
'Cause you know that you've heard it before,
And you feel that this moment in time is surreal,
'Cause you know when you feel deja-vu.

Another Prophet of Disaster
Who says the ship is lost
Another Prophet of Disaster
Leaving you to count the cost

Taunting us with visions
Afflicting us with fear
Predicting war for millions
In the hope that one appears

No point asking when it is
No point asking who's to go
No point asking what's the game
No point asking who's to blame

'Cause if you're gonna die
(If you're gonna die, if you're gonna die)
'Cause if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die

If you're gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die

If you're gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die

13, the Beast is rising
The Frenchman did surmise
Through earthquakes and starvation
The warlord will arise

Terror, death, destruction
Pour from the Eastern Sands
But the truth of all predictions
Is always in your hands

No point asking when it is
No point asking who's to go
No point asking what's the game
No point asking who's to blame

'Cause if you're gonna die
(If you're gonna die, if you're gonna die)
'Cause if you're gonna die

If you're gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die

Die with your boots on
They die with your boots on
We die
We die
We die

No point asking when it is
No point asking who's to go
No point asking what's the game
No point asking who's to blame

'Cause if you're gonna die
(If you're gonna die, if you're gonna die)
If you're gonna die (if you're gonna die)
If you're gonna die

If you're gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die

Gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well, stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, die

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

Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look trough the eyes of a fool
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody's watching when the light goes down

Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look trough the eyes of a fool
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody's watching when the night comes down

Feel someone's watching you
You gotta get away
Is it the first time
You've ever felt this scared

Feel the adrenaline pump
Your heart begins to race
Begin to run now
The sweat runs down your face

Don't know which way to turn
You'd better hide yourself
He's getting closer now
You'd better improvise

Just hope you never reach
The point of no return
Could be the last time
You see the light of day

Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look trough the eyes of a fool
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody's watching when the night goes down

Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look trough the eyes of a fool
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody's watching when the light goes down


Don't look to, Don't look to
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger

Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look through the eyes of a fool
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Somebody's watching when the light goes down

Don't look to the eyes of a stranger

Have you ever felt
The future is the past
But you don't know how?
A reflected dream
Of a captured time
Is it really now, is it really happening?

Don't know why I feel this way
Have I dreamt this time, this place?
Something vivid comes again into my mind
And I think I've seen your face
Seen this room, been in this place
Something vivid comes again into my mind

All my hopes and expectation
Looking for an explanation
Have I found my destination?
I just can't take no more

The dream is true (x4)

Think I've heard your voice before
Think I've said these words before
Something makes me feel I just might lose my mind
Am I still inside my dream?
Is this a new reality
Something makes me feel that I have lost my mind

All my hopes and expectation
Looking for an explanation
Coming to the realisation
That I can't see for sure

(chorus:)
I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
To save me from myself

I only dream in black and white
I only dream 'cause I'm alive
I only dream in black and white
Please save me from myself

The dream is true (x4)

I get up put on the light
Dreading the oncoming night
Scared to fall asleep and dream the dream again

Nothing that I contemplate
Nothing that I can compare
To letting loose the demons deep inside my head

Dread to think what might be stirring
That my dream is reoccurring
Got to keep away from drifting
Saving me from myself

(chorus) (x2)

Lost in dream of mirrors
Lost in a paradox
lost and time is spinning
Lost a nightmare I retrace

Lost a hell that I revisit
Lost another time and place
Lost a parallel existence
Lost a nightmare I retrace

(chorus) (x2)

Oh oh....
Oh oh....

(chorus) (x2)

The dream is true (x4)

Walk away!

Look out now, baby won't you take me away,
Sittin' here its gonna be a new day.
Gotta sing my song and I can't go wrong,
Gotta keep on roaming, gotta sing my song.

What you feeling when you hold me tight?
I'm gonna cuddle up with you tonight, gonna get you feeling so secure.
listen child don't you see there's a cure?
Anywhere got to get you away, feels so good think it's gonna be a new
day.
I'm gonna get my song till I can't go on,
I'm gonna keep on roaming gonna sing my song.

I want you to sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it along.
I want you to sing it, sing it, sing it, sing it along.

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

Everybody's waiting for something to happen.
Everybody's waiting for something to see
Lunatics waiting for bigger disasters.
Everyone's waiting for news on TV

Winding lives at the end of the spiral.
Waiting dictators with their next big thrill
Everyone's looking but no one is listening.
Everybody wants to be in at the kill

I wait for the signs, they tell me true.
I see the signs of the end of time

Everyone's searching but nothing's revealing.
Everyone's looking for the reason why
Everyone's hoping for life everafter.
Everyone's looking at death from the sky

Everyone's nightmares are going to happen.
Everybody's ripping the mask from their eyes
Everyone's praying but no one's believing.
Everyone's heroes tell everyone's lies

I wait for the signs, they tell me true.
I see the signs of the end of time

So I watch and I wait.
And I pray for an awnser
An end to the strife and the world's misery.
But the end never came
And we're digging the graves.
And we're loading the guns for the kill

Can the end be at hand?
Is the face in the sand?
Future memory of our tragedy

Can the end be at hand?
Is the face in the sand?
Future memory of our tragedy

So I watch and I wait.
And I pray for an awnser
An end to the strife and the world's misery.
But the end never came
And we're digging the graves.
And we're loading the guns for the kill

Can the end be at hand?
Is the face in the sand?
Future memory of our tragedy

Can the end be at hand?
Is the face in the sand?
Future memory of our tragedy

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

We live our lives in fever
In a choking sweat of fear
In the heat of the night you can
feel so much
In the heat of the night I scream
"Don't touch!"

I remember a time when we
used and abused
And fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time we thought that
passion was free
In the heart of the night... bodies aflame

We live in fever...

I hear your secret heartbeat
I can hear your silent cries
The kids have lost their freedom
And nobody cares till somebody
famous dies...

I remember a time when we
used and abused
And fought all our battles in vain
I remember a time we thought that
passion was free
In the heart of the night... bodies aflame

Now we live, in a world of uncertainty
Fear is the key - to what you want to be
You don't get a say the majority
gets its way
You're outnumbered by the bastards
till the day you die...

I 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

..........

Just sixteen, a pickup truck, out of money, out of luck.
I've got nowhere to call my own, hit the gas, and here I go.

*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.

*Repeat

Puller here at the Bottle Top, whiskey, dancing, disco hop.
Now all the boys are after me, and that's the way it's gonna be

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
