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 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 |

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've been looking so long for you now you won't get away from my grasp.
You've been living so long in hiding in hiding behind that false mask. And you know and I know that you ain't got long now to last. Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past. You're standing in the wings, there you wait for the curtain to fall. Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all. Yeah, I know that you're gonna scratch me, maim me and maul. You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call. Keep your distance, walk away, don't take his bait. Don't you stray, don't fade away. Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may. Don't you stray, from the narrow way. I'm running and hiding in my dreams you're always there. You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare. You damaged my mind and my soul it just floats through the air. Haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair. |

Unchain the colours before my eyes,
Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies. Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of fire. Tears for rememberance, and tears for joy, Tears for somebody and this lonely boy. Out in the madness, the all seeing eye, Flickers above us, to light up the sky. Unchain the colours before my eyes, Yesterday's sorrows, tomorrow's white lies. Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher, I shall return from out of fire. |

The only place where you can dream, living here is not what it seems.
Ship of white light in the sky, nobody there to reason why. Here I am, I'm not really there, smiling faces ever so rare. A let's walk in deepest space, living here just isn't the place. Stalks of light come from the ground, when I cry there isn't a sound. All my feelings cannot be held, I'm happy in my new strange world. Shades of green grasses twine, girls drinking plasma wine. A look at love, a dream unfolds, living here, you'll never grow old. Don't you hear me call? Ooh |

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. |

Shadows may hide you but always be your grave
You're running today maybe tomorrow you'll be saved You pray for daylight to save you for a while You wonder if your children will face the killer's smile Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - murders up for sale Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - where the jail birds die Face at the window leers into your own But it's only your reflection still you tremble in your bones How long can you hide? How long till they come? A rat in a trap but you've got to survive Once you were glad to be free for a while The air tasted good and the world was your friend Then came the days when the hard times began Now you're alone but alive for how long? Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - murders up for sale Dead men - tell no tales In Gangland - where the jail birds die |

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole The sands of time for me are running low When the priest comes to read me the last rites I take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be there's been some sort of an error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end not some crazy dream Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak Tears they flow but why am I crying After all am I not afraid of dying Don't believe that there never is an end As the guards march me out to the courtyard Someone calls from a cell "God be with you" If there's a God then why has he let me die? As I walk all my life drifts before me And though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away Mark my words please believe my soul lives on Please don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to see the truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down there is just a strange illusion |

Longboats have been sighted,
The evidence of war has begun, Many Nordic fighting men, Their swords and shields all gleam in the sun. Call to arms defend yourselves, Get ready to stand and fight for your lives, Judgement day has come around, So be prepared don't run stand your ground. They're coming in from the sea, They've come the enemy. Beneath the blazing sun, The battle has to be won. Invaders Pillaging Invaders Looting Set ablaze the camp fires, Alert the other men from inland. Warning must be given, There's not enough men for a stand. The Vikings are too many, Too powerful to take on our own. We must have reinforcements, We cannot fight this battle alone. They're coming over the hill, They've come to attack. They're coming in for the kill, There's no turning back. Invaders Fighting Invaders Marauding Axes grind and maces clash, As wounded fighters fall to the ground. Severed limbs and fatal woundings, Bloody corpses lay all around. The smell of death and burning flesh, The battle weary fight to the end. The Saxons have been overpowered, Victims of the mighty Norsemen. You'd better scatter and run. The battle's lost and not won. You'd better get away, To fight another day. Invaders Raping Invaders Plundering |

White man came across the sea
Brought us pain and misery Killed our tribes killed our creed Took our game for his own need We fought him hard we fought him well Out on the plains we gave him hell But many came too much for Cree Oh will we ever be set free? Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes Galloping hard on the plains Chasing the redskins back to their holes Fighting them at their own game Murder for freedom a stab in the back Women and children and cowards attack Run to the hills run for your lives Run to the hills run for your lives Soldier blue on the barren wastes Hunting and killing their game Raping the women and wasting the men The only good Indians are tame Selling them whisky and taking their gold Enslaving the young and destroying the old Run to the hills run for your lives (repeat to end) |

Cold as steel the darkness waits it's hour will come.
A cry of fear from our children worshipping the sun. Mother nature's black revenge on those who waste her life. War babies in the garden of Eden, Shall turn our ashes to ice. Sunrise has gone freezing up the fires. Sunrise has gone numbing our desires. Around the world the people stop, With terror stricken eyes. A shadow cast upon them all, To crush them like a fly. In the icy rain and whiplashed seas, There's nowhere left to run. The hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane. Around the world the nations wait, For some wise word from their leading light. You know it isn't only madmen who listen to fools. Is this the end, the millions cried, Clutching their riches as they died. Those who survive must weather the storm. Gone are the days when man looked down. They've taken away his sacred crown. To be set free, it took so long. It's not journeys' end, it's just begun. |

As the sun breaks, above the ground,
An old man stands on the hill, As the ground warms, to the first rays of light A birdsong shatters the still. His eyes are ablaze, See the madman in his gaze. Fly, on your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun, On your way, like an eagle, Fly and touch the sun. Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears Looks the old man in the eye As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd In the name of God my father I fly. His eyes seem so glazed As he flies on the wings of a dream, Now he knows his father betrayed Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave. Fly, on your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun, On your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun. |

It's snowing outside the rumbling sound of engines roar in the night, The mission is near the confident men are waiting to drop from the sky. The Blizzard goes on but still they must fly No one should go where eagles dare. Bavarian alps that lay all around they seem to stare from below, The enemy lines a long time passed are lying deep in the snow. Into the night they fall through the sky No one should fly where eagles dare. They're closing in the fortress is near it's standing high in the sky, The cable car's the only way in it's really impossible to climb. They make their way but maybe too late They've got to try to save the day. The panicking cries the roaring of guns are echoing all round the valley, The mission complete they make to escape away from the Eagles Nest. They dared to go where no one would try they chose to fly where eagles dare.

In a time when dinosaurs walked the earth
When the land was swamp and caves were home In an age when prize possession was fire To search for landscapes men would roam. Then the tribes they came to steal their fire And the wolves they howled into the night As they fought a vicious angry battle to save the power of warmth and light. Drawn by quest for fire They searched all through the land Drawn by quest for fire Discovery of man. And they thought that when the embers died away That the flame of life had burnt and died Didn't know the sparks that made the fire Were made by rubbing stick and stone. So they ploughed through the forest and swamps of danger And they fought the cannibal tribes and beasts In the search to find another fire To regain the power of light and heat. Drawn by quest for fire They searched across the land Drawn by quest for fire Discovery of man. |

"O God of Earth and Altar,
Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, But take away our pride." (G. K. Chesterton; English Hymnal) Just a babe in the black abyss, No reason for a place like this, The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain, An easy way for the blind to go, A clever path for the fools who know the Secret of the Hanged Man-the smile on his lips. The light of the Blind-you'll see, The venom that tears my spine, The Eyes of the Nile are opening-you'll see. She came to me with a serpent's kiss, As the Eye of the Sun Rose on her lips, Moonlight catches silver tears I cry, So we lay in the black embrace, And the Seed is sown in a holy place And I watched, and I waited for the dawn. The light of the Blind-you'll see, The venom that tears my spine, The Eyes of the Nile are opening-you'll see. Bind all of us together, Ablaze with Hope and Free, No storm or heavy weather Will rock the boat you'll see. The time has come to close your eyes And still the wind and rain, For the one who will be King Is the Watcher in the Ring, It is You. |

Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me Can't you see them it's plain for all to see They were there oh I know you don't believe me. Oh...I've never felt so strange But...I'm not going insane. I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head You don't say but it's in your eyes instead Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool Something draws me there I don't know what to do. Oh...they drain my strength away Oh...they're asking me to stay. Nightmares...spirits calling me Nightmares...they won't leave me be. All my life's blood is slowly draining away And I feel that I'm weaker every day Somehow I know I haven't long to go Joining them at the bottom of the pool. Now...I feel they are so near I...begin to see them clear Nightmares...coming all the time Nightmares...Will give me peace of mind. Now it's clear and I know what I have to do I must take you down there to look at them too Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool Can't you see not just me they want you too. Oh...we'll drown together It...will be forever. Nightmares...forever calling me Nightmares...Now we rest in peace. |

You killed your first man at 13,
Killer instinct, Animal supreme, By 16 you had learned to fight The way of the warrior, you took it as your right. Sunlight, falling on your steel, Death in life is your ideal, Life is like a wheel, rolling on and on. Through earth and water, fire and wind, you came at last-nothing was the end, Make a cut by fire and stones, Take you and your blade and break you both in two-break you both in two. Sunlight, falling on your steel, Death in life is your ideal, Life is like a wheel-and it's rolling still. |

You'll take my life
but I'll take yours too You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand there's no turning back The Bugle sounds and the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath As I plunge on into certain death Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh The horse he sweats with fear we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the Russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We won't live to fight another day Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh We get so close near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh |

He is the king of all the land
In the Kingdom of the sands Of a time tomorrow. He rules the sandworms and the Fremen In a land amongst the stars Of an age tomorrow. He is destined to be a King He rules over everything On the land called planet Dune. Bodywater is your life And without it you would die On the desert the planet Dune. Without a stillsuit you would fry On the sands so hot and dry In a world called Arrakis. It is a land that's rich in spice The sandriders and the "mice" That they call the "Muad'Dib". He is the Kwizatz Haderach. He is born of Caladan And will take the Gom Jabbar. He has the power to foresee Or to look into the past He is the ruler of the stars The time will come for him to lay claim his crown, And then the foe yes they'll be cut down, You'll see he'll be the best that there's been, Messiah supreme true leader of men, And when the time for judgement's at hand Don't fret he's strong and he'll make a stand, Against evil and fire That spreads through the land, He has the power to make it all end. |

It's snowing outside the rumbling sound of engines roar in the night, The mission is near the confident men are waiting to drop from the sky. The Blizzard goes on but still they must fly No one should go where eagles dare. Bavarian alps that lay all around they seem to stare from below, The enemy lines a long time passed are lying deep in the snow. Into the night they fall through the sky No one should fly where eagles dare. They're closing in the fortress is near it's standing high in the sky, The cable car's the only way in it's really impossible to climb. They make their way but maybe too late They've got to try to save the day. The panicking cries the roaring of guns are echoing all round the valley, The mission complete they make to escape away from the Eagles Nest. They dared to go where no one would try they chose to fly where eagles dare.

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.

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. |

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 |

As a young boy chasing dragons with your wooden sword so mighty,
You're St. George or you're David and you always killed the beast. Times change very quickly, and you had to grow up early, A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet. CHORUS You'll die as you lived In a flash of the blade, In a corner forgotten by no one. YOu llived for the touch For the feel of the steel One man, and his honour. The smell of resined leather The steely iron mask As you cut and thrust and parried at the fencing master's call. He taught you all he ever knew To fear no mortal man and now you'll wreak your vengeance in the Screams of evil men. CHORUS |

Into the abyss I'll fall-the eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night-watching me go Green is the cat's eye that glows-in this temple Enter the risen Osiris-risen again. *Tell me why I had to be a powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a god, why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies, all around is laid to waste. And in my last hour, I'm a slave to the power of death. When I was living this lie-fear was my game People would worship and fall-drop to their knees So bring me the blood and red wine for the one to succeed me For he is a man and a god-and he will die too. *Repeat Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins, Silent the terror that reigned-maarbled in stone Shell of a man God preserved-a thousand ages But open the gates of my hell-I will strike from the grave. *Repeat |

Hear the rime of the ancient mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three Mesmerises one of the wedding guests Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the sea. And the music plays on, as the bride passes by Caught by his spell and the mariner tells his tale. Driven south to the land of the snow and ice To a place where nobody's been Through the snow fog flies on the albatross Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings. And the ship sails on, back to the North Through the fog and ice and the albatross follows on. The mariner kills the bird of good omen His shipmates cry against what he's done BUt when the fog clears, they justify him And make themselves a part of the crime. Sailing on and on and north across the sea Sailing on and on and north 'til all is calm. The albatross begins with its vengeance A terrible curse a thirst has begun His shipmates blame bad luck on the mariner About his neck, the dead bird is hung. And the curse goes on and on at sea And the thirst goes on and on for them and me. "Day after day, day after day, we stuck nor breath nor motion as idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean Water, water everywhere and all the boards did shrink Water, water everywhere nor any drop to drink." There calls the mariner There comes a ship over the line BUt how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide. See...onward she comes Onward she nears out of the sun See, she has no crew She has no life, wait but there's two. Death and she Life in Death, They throw their dice for the crew She wins the mariner and he belongs to her now. Then...crew one by one they drop down dead, two hundred men She...she, Life in Death. She lets him live, her chosen one. "One after one by the star dogged moon, too quick for groan or sigh each turned his facce with a ghastly pang and cursed me with his eye four times fifty living men (and I heard nor sigh nor groan) with heavy thump, a lifeless lump, they dropped down one by one." The curse it lives on in their eyes The mariner wished he'd die Along with the sea creatures But they lived on, so did he. and by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom With heart he blesses them God's creatures all of them too. Then the spell starts to break The albatross falls from his neck Sinks down like lead into the sea Then down in falls comes the rain. Hear the groans of the long dead seamen See them stir and they start to rise Bodies lifted by good spirits None of them speak and they're lifelesss in their eyes And revenge is still sought, penance starts again Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on. Now the curse is finally lifted And the mariner sights his home spirits go fromhe long dead bodies Form their own light and the mariner's left alone. And then a boat came sailing towards him It was a joy he could not believe The pilot's boat, his son and the hermit, Penance of life will fall onto him. And the ship sinks like lead into the sea And the hermit shrieves the mariner of his sins. The mariner's bound to tell of his story To tell this tale wherever he goes To teach God's word by his own example That we must love all things thaat God made. And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man And the tale goes on and on and on. |

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone The choosing of guns or fighting with swords The choice of weapons is done He'll tear you apart as soon as you start You know you don't have a chance. *OH...OH...Fight for the honour Fight for the splendour Fight for the pleasure OH...OH...Fight for the honour Fight for the splendour Fight for your life! Ready to start the duel begins the best man wins in the end. A lunge and a feint, a parry too late A cut to the chest and you're down Seeing the stain then feeling the pain Feeling the sweat on your brow. *Repeat The fighting resumes, a silence looms the swordsmen move 'gainst each other A cut and a thrust, a parry, a blow, a stab to the heart and you're down The Angel of Death hears your last breath Meanwhile the Reaper looks on. OH...OH...Fought the honour Fought for the splendour Fought for the pleasure OH...OH...Fought for the honour fought for the splendour Fought to the death |

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. |

As the sun breaks, above the ground,
An old man stands on the hill, As the ground warms, to the first rays of light A birdsong shatters the still His eyes are ablaze, See the madman in his gaze. Fly, on your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun, On your way, like an eagle, Fly, and touch the sun. Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears Looks the old man in the eye As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd In the name of God my father I fly. His eyes seem so glazed As he flies on the wings of a dream, Now he knows his father betrayed Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave. Fly, on your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun, On your way, like an eagle, Fly as high as the sun. |

I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time Cos at 5 o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole The sands of time for me are running low When the priest comes to read me the last rites I take a look through the bars at the last sights Of a world that has gone very wrong for me Can it be there's been some sort of an error Hard to stop the surmounting terror Is it really the end not some crazy dream Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming It's not easy to stop from screaming But words escape me when I try to speak Tears they flow but why am I crying After all am I not afraid of dying Don't believe that there never is an end As the guards march me out to the courtyard Someone calls from a cell "God be with you" If there's a God then why has he let me die? As I walk all my life drifts before me And though the end is near I'm not sorry Catch my soul cos it's willing to fly away Mark my words please believe my soul lives on Please don't worry now that I have gone I've gone beyond to see the truth When you know that your time is close at hand Maybe then you'll begin to understand Life down there is just a strange illusion |

I've been looking so long for you now, you won't get away from my grasp.
You've been living so long in hiding. Hiding behind that false mask. You know and I know that you ain't got that long to last, Your looks and feelings are just the remains of your past Standing in the wings there, you wait for the curtain to fall. Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all. I know that you're gonna scratch me and maim me and maul. You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call. Keep your distance, walk away don't take his bait. Don't you stray don't fade away. Watch your step, he's out to get you Come what may, Don't you stray, don't fade away. I'm running and hiding, in my dreams you're always there. You're the Phantom of the Opera, you're the devil you're just out to scare. You damaged my mind and my soul just floats through the air. You haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair |

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

Bow down and hear our cry, Our earthly rulers falter, Our people drift and die, The walls of gold entomb us, The swords of scorn divide, Take not thy thunder from us, But take away our pride." (G.K. Chesterton: English Hymnal) Just a babe in a black abyss, No reason for a place like this, The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain, An easy way for the blind to go, A clever path for the fools who know The Secret of the Hanged Man - the smile on his lips. The light of the Blind - you'll see, The venom that tears my spine, The eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see. She came to me with a serpent's kiss, As the Eye of the Sun rose on her lips, Moonlight catches silver tears I cry, So we lay in a black embrace, And the seed is sown in the holy place And I watched and I waited for the Dawn. The light of the Blind - you'll see, The venom that tears my spine, The eyes of the Nile are opening - you'll see. Bind all of us together, Ablaze with Hope and Free, No storm or heavy weather Will rock the boat you'll see, The time has come to close your eyes And still the sing and rain, For the one who will be King Is the Watcher in the Ring. It is You. |

Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner
See his eyes as he stops one of three Mesmerises one of the wedding guests Stay here and listen to the nightmares of the Sea. And the music plays on, and the bride passes by Caught by his spell and the Mariner tells his tale. Driven south to the land of the snow and ice To a place where nobody's been Through the snow fog flies the albatross Hailed in God's name, hoping good luck it brings. And the ship sails on, back to the North Through the fog and the ice the albatross follows on The mariner kills the bird of good omen His shipmates cry against what he's done But when the fog clears, they justify him And make themselves part of the crime. Sailing on and on and North across the sea Sailing on and on and North 'till all is calm. The albatross begins with its vengeance A terrible thirst a curse has begun His shipmates blame bad luck on the Mariner About his neck, the dead bird is hung. And the curse goes on and on at sea And the curse goes on and on for them and me. "Day after day, day after day, we stuck nor breath nor motion As idle as a painted ship upon a painted ocean Water, water, everywhere and all the boards did shrink Water, water, everywhere nor any drop to drink." (Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1798-1834)) There, calls the mariner, there comes a ship over the line But how can she sail with no wind in her sails and no tide. See...onward she comes Onward she nears, out of the sun See...she has no crew She has no life, wait but there's two. Death and she Life in Death, they throw their dice for the crew She wins the Mariner and he belongs to her now. Then...crew one by one They drop down dead, two hundred men She...She, Life in Death. She lets him live, her chosen one. Narrative "One after one by the star dogged moon, too quick for groan or sigh Each turned his face with a ghastly pang, and cursed me with his eye Four times fifty living men (and I heard nor sigh nor groan), With heavy thump, a lifeless lump. they dropped down one by one." (Samuel Taylor Coleridge (1798-1834)) The curse it lives on in their eyes The Mariner he wished he'd die Along with the sea creatures But they lived on, so did he. And by the light of the moon He prays for their beauty not doom With heart he blesses them God's creatures all of them too. Then the spell starts to break The albatross falls from his neck Sinks down like lead into the Sea Then down in falls comes the rain. Hear the groans of the long dead seamen See them stir and they start to rise Bodies lifted by good spirits None of them speak and they're lifeless in their eyes. And revenge is still sought, penance starts again Cast into a trance and the nightmare carries on. Now the curse is finally lifted And the Mariner sights his home Spirits go from the long dead bodies Form their own light and the Mariner's left alone. And then a boat came sailing towards him It was a joy he could not believe The Pilot's boat, his son and the hermit. Penance of life will fall onto Him. And the ship it sinks like lead into the sea And the hermit shrieves the mariner of his sins. The Mariner's bound to tell of his story To tell his tale wherever he goes To teach God's word by his own example That we must love all things that God made. And the wedding guest's a sad and wiser man And the tale goes on and on and on. |

White man came across the sea
Brought us pain and misery Killed our tribes killed our creed Took our game for his own need We fought him hard we fought him well Out on the plains we gave him hell But many came too much for Cree Oh will we ever be set free? Riding through dustclouds and barren wastes Galloping hard on the plains Chasing the redskins back to their holes Fighting them at their own game Murder for freedom a stab in the back Women and children and cowards attack Run to the hills run for your lives Run to the hills run for your lives Soldier blue on the barren wastes Hunting and killing their game Raping the women and wasting the men The only good Indians are tame Selling them whisky and taking their gold Enslaving the young and destroying the old Run to the hills run for your lives (repeat to end) |

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. *Chorus*: I'm running free yeah, I'm running free. I'm running free yeah, Oh I'm running free. Spent the night in an L. A. jail, and listened to the sirens wail. They ain't got a thing on me, I'm running wild, I'm running free. *Chorus* Puller here at the Bottle Top, whiskey, dancing, disco hop. Now all the boys are after me, and that's the way it's gonna be *Chorus* |

I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to get the memories from my mind What did I see can I believe that what I saw that night was real and not just fantasy Just what I saw in my old dreams were they reflections of my warped mind staring back at me Cos in my dreams it's always there the evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair The night was black was no use holding back Cos I just had to see was someone watching me In the mist dark figures move and twist was all this for real or some kind of hell 666 the Number of the Beast Hell and fire was spawned to be released Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised as they start to cry hands held to the sky In the night the fires burning bright the ritual has begun Satan's work is done 666 the Number of the Beast Sacrifice is going on tonight This can't go on I must inform the law Can this still be real or some crazy dream but I feel drawn towards the evil chanting hordes they seem to mesmerise me...can't avoid their eyes 666 the Number of the Beast 666 the one for you and me I'm coming back I will return And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn I have the fire I have the force I have the power to make my evil take its course |

You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand there's no turning back. The bugle sounds and the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath As I plunge on into certain death. The horse he sweats with fear we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race towards the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the Russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We won't live to fight another day. 간주 We get so close near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below. And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone Without a tear I draw my parting groan |

I was born into a scene of angriness and greed, and dominance and persecution.
My mother was a queen, my dad I've never seen, I was never meant to be. And now I spend my time looking all around, For a man that's nowhere to be found. Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching, I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around. Chorus: 'Cos I'm a wrathchild, well I'm a wrathchild. Yeah I'm a wrathchild. I'm coming to get you, oooh yeah. Say it doesn't matter ain't nothin' gonna alter the course of my destination. I know I've got to find some serious piece of mind, or I know I'll go crazy. But now I spend my time looking all around, For a man thats nowhere to be found. Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching, I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around. Chorus |

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! |

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. |

Can't understand what is happening to me,
This isn't real, this is only a dream, But I never have felt, no I never have felt this way before, I'm looking down on my body below, I lie asleep in the midst of a dream, Is it now could it be that the angel of death has come for me? I can't believe that really my time has come, I don't feel ready, there's so much left undone, And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it get away. *Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait, Heaven can wait til another day. *Reapeat I have a lust for the Earth below And Hell itself is my only foe, 'Cause I've no fear of dying, I'll go when I'm good and ready, I snatch a glimpse of the light's eternal rays, I see a tunnel, I stand amazed, At all of the people standing there in front of me, Into the paths of rightness I'll be led, Is this the place where the living join the dead? I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare. *Repeat (x2) Take my hand, I'll lead you to the promised land, Take my hand, I'll give you immortality, Eternal youth, I'll take you to the other side, To see the truth, the path for you is decided. Oh Oh * lots. My body tingles, I feel so strange, I feel so tired, I feel so drained, And I'm wondering if I'll ever be the same again, Is this in limbo or in Heaven or Hell? Maybe I'm going down there as well, I can't accept my soul will drift forever. I feel myself floating back down to Earth, So could this be the hour of my rebirth? Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming? *Repeat |

Out in the street somebody's crying,
Out in the night the fires burn, Maybe tonight somebody's crying, Reached the point of no return. Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe, Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave. Like the eagle and the dove, Fly so high on wings above, When all you see can only bring you sadness, Like a river we will flow, On towards the sea we go, When all you do can only bring you sadness, Out on the sea of madness. Somewhere I hear a voice that's calling, Out in the dark there burns a dream, You got to hope when you are falling, To find the world that you have seen. Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe, Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave. Like the eagle and the dove, Fly so high on wings above, When all you see can only bring you sadness, Like a river we will flow, On towards the sea we go, When all you do can only bring you sadness, Out on the sea of madness. It's madness, The sun don't shine On the sea of madness, There ain't no wind to fill your sails, Madness, When all you see can only bring you sadness On towards the sea we go... |

Was many years ago that I left home and came this way,
I was a young man full of hopes and dreams, But now it seems to me that all is lost and nothing gained, Sometimes things ain't what they seem, No brave new world, no brave new world, No brave new world, no brave new world. Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky, My spirit wanders endlessly, Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why, Hear me calling, rescue me, Set me free, set me free, Lost in this place and leave no trace. Stranger in a strange land, Land of ice and snow, Trapped here in this prison, yeah! Lost and far from home. One hundred years have gone and men again they came that way, To find the answer to the mystery, They found his body lying where it fell on that day, Preserved in time for all to see, No brave new world, no brave new world, Lost in this place, and leave no trace. Stranger in a strange land, Land of ice and snow, Trapped here in this prison, yeah! Lost and far from home. |

From the coast of gold, across the seven seas,
I'm travelling on, far and wide, But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself, And all the things I sometimes do, it isn't me but someone else. I close my eyes, and think of home, Another city goes by, in the night, Ain't it funny how it is, you never miss it til it's gone away, And my heart is lying there and will be til my dying day. So understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years, Face up...make your stand, And realise you're living in the golden years. Too much time on my hands, I got you on my mind, Can't ease this pain, so easily, When you can't find the words to say, it's hard to make it through another day, And it makes me wanna cry, and throw my hands up to the sky. So understand Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years, Face up...make your stand, And realise you're living in the golden years. |

Infinite dreams I can't deny them
Infinity is hard to comprehend I couldn't hear those screams Even in my wildest dreams Suffocation waking in a sweat Scared to fall asleep again Incase the dream begins again Someone chasing I cannot move Standing rigid nightmare's statue What a dream when will it end And will I transcend? Restless sleep the minds in turmoil One nightmare ends another fertile Getting to me so scared to sleep But scared to wake now, in too deep Even though its reached new heights I rather like the restless nights It makes me wonder it makes me think There's more to this I'm on the brink It's not the fear of what's beyond It's just that I might not respond I have an interest almost craving But would I like to get too far in? It can't be all coincidence Too many things are evident You tell me you're an unbeliever Spiritualist? Well me I'm neither But wouldn't you like to know The truth Of what's out there to have the proof And find out just which side You're on Where would you end in Heaven or In Hell? Help me. Help me to find my true Self without seeing the future Save me, save me from torturing Myself even within my dreams There's got to be just more to it Than this Or tell me why do we exist I'd like to think that when I die I'd get a chance another time And to return and live again Reincarnate, play the game Again and again and again |

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

At a point below zero
There's no place left to go Six hundred unknown heroes Were killed like sleeping buffalo Through the devil's canyon Across the battlefield Death has no companion The spirit is forced to yield There goes the bandolero Through the hole in the wall He's a coward but doesn't care though In fact, he doesn't care at all The general that's commanding He's defending what he fears While the troops they are depending On reinforcements from the rear If God is in the heavens How can this happen here? In His name, they used the weapons For the massacre There is a point below zero Where the sun can see the land Six hundred unknown heroes Lay dead in the sand |

Seven deadly sins
Seven ways to win Seven holy paths to hell And your trip begins Seven downward slopes Seven bloodied hopes Seven are you burning fires Seven your desires I am he, the bornless one The fallen angel watching you Babylon, the scarlet whore I'll infiltrate your gratitude Don't you dare to save your son Kill him now and save the young ones Be the mother of birth strangled babe Be the devils own, Lucifer's my name Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream, oh Moonchild - open the seventh seal I count the heads of those unborn The accursed ones I'll find them all If you die by your own hand As a suicide you shall be damned And if you try to save your soul I will torment you, you shall not grow old With every second and passing breath You'll be so alone your soul will bleed to death Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream Moonchild - open the seventh seal Moonchild - you'll be mine soon, child Moonchild - take my hand tonight The twins they are exhausted, seven is this night Gemini is rising as the red lips kiss to bite Seven angels seven demons battle for his soul When Gabriel lies sleeping, this child was born to die One more dies one more lives One baby cries, one mother grieves For all the sins you will commit You'll beg forgiveness and none I'll give A web of fear shall be your coat To clothe you in the night A lucky escape for you young man But I'll see you damned in endless night Moonchild - hear the mandrake scream Moonchild - open the seventh seal Moonchild - you'll be mine soon, child Moonchild - take my hand tonight |

The demon in your mind will rape you in your bed at night
The wisdom of ages, the lies and outrages concealed Time it waits for no man My future, it is revealed Time it waits for no man My fate is sealed If I cancel tomorrow, the undead will thank me today Fly in the face of your prophets, I mock your morality plays The moon is red and bleeding The sun is burned and black The book of life is silent No turning back Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young Only the good die young Mystery madman, a victim of cruel charade Some innocent pawn in an end game, one more stalemate Is death another birthday? A way to kiss your dreams goodbye? Do the undead live within us? And look through our eyes? Walking on water - are miracles all you can trust? Measure your coffin, does it measure up to your lust? So I think I'll leave you With your bishops and your guilt So, until the next time Have a good sin Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young All the evil seem to live forever Only the good die young Only the good die young Seven deadly sins Seven ways to win Seven bloody paths to hell Seven downward slopes Seven bloody hopes Seven are your burning fires Seven your desires.... |

Here they stand, brothers them all
All the sons, divided they'd fall Here await the birth of the son The seventh, the heavenly, the chosen one, oh Here the birth from an unbroken line Born the healer, the seventh, his time Unknowingly blessed and as his life unfolds Slowly unveiling the power he holds, oh Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Oh, oh Oh, oh Then they watch the progress he makes The good and the evil, which path will he take? Both of them trying to manipulate The use of his powers, before it's too late, oh Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Seventh son of a seventh son Oh, oh Oh, oh Today is born the seventh one Born of woman, the seventh son And he in turn of a seventh son He has the power to heal He has the gift of the second sight He is the chosen one So it shall be written So it shall be done |

Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths, their faces beckoning me Can't you see them? It's plain for all to see They were there, oh I know you don't believe me Oh, I've never felt so strange But I'm not going insane I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head You don't say but it's in your eyes instead Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool Something draws me there, I don't know what to do Oh, they drain my strength away Oh, they're asking me to stay Nightmares Spirits calling me Nightmares They won't leave me be All my life's blood is slowly draining away And I feel that I'm weaker every day Somehow I know I haven't long to go Joining them at the bottom of the pool Now I feel they are so near I begin to see them clear Nightmares Coming all the time Nightmares Will give me peace of mind Now it's clear and I know what I have to do I must take you down there to look at them too Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool Can't you see not just me, they want you too Oh, we'll drown together It will be forever Nightmares Forever calling me Nightmares Now we rest in peace |

Feel the sweat break on my brow
Is it me or is it shadows that are Dancing on the walls Is this a dream or is it now Is this a vision or normality I see Before my eyes I wonder why I wonder how That it seems the powers getting stronger Every day I feel a strength an inner fire But I'm scared I won't be able to control it anymore There's a time to live and a time to die When it's time to meet the maker There's a time to live but isn't it strange That as soon as you're born you're dying Just by looking through your eyes He could see the future penetrating right In through your mind See the truth and see your lies But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise There's a time to live and a time to die When it's time to meet the maker There's a time to live but isn't it strange That as soon as you're born you're dying... ... and reborn again? |

Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with The slaughter of innocence But I will pray for her I will call her name out loud I would bleed for her If only I could see her now Living on a razors edge Balancing on a ledge Living on a razors edge The evil that men do lives on and on..... The evil that men do lives on and on..... The evil that men do lives on and on..... The evil that men do lives on and on..... Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me But I will pray for you And some day I may return Don't you cry for me Beyond is where I learn |

"We want information... information... information...
Who are you? The new number two Who is number one? You are number six I AM NOT A NUMBER!!! I AM A FREE MAN!!! HAHAHAHAHA" I'm on the run, I'll kill to eat, Starving now, feeling dead on my feet. Going all the way, I'm nature's beast. Do what i want, I do as i please. Run, you've gotta fight, to breathe, it's tough. Now you see me, now you don't. Break the walls, I'm coming out. I'm not a prisoner, I'm a free man, And my blood is my own now. Don't care where the past was, I know where I'm going...out. If you kill me, it's self defence. If I kill you, then I call it vengeance. Spit in your eye, I will defy. You'll be afraid when I call out your name. Run, you've gotta fight, to breathe, it's tough. Now you see me, now you don't. Break the walls, I'm coming out. I'm not a prisoner, I'm a free man, And my blood is my own now. Don't care where the past was, I know where I'm going. I'm not a number, I'm a free man, I'll live my life how i want to. You'd better scratch me from your black book, 'Cause I'll run rings around you. |

Now that I know that the right time has come
My prediction will surely be true The impending disaster it looms And the whole of the village is doomed Why won't you listen to me? Is it so hard to understand That I am the real seventh son? Your life or death on me depends Suffering and pain impending disaster Souls crying the devil's laughter I heard the cry of the seven whistlers Lucifer smiles, looks on and waits I'll take your life in my hands Your fate, your fortune's in my visions Heed what I say and you'll see what will be Please listen to me Now that they see the disaster is done Now they put all the blame unto me They feel I brought on a curse Don't they know that the torment It stays with me, knowing that I walk alone Through the eyes of the future I see They don't even know what fear is Don't they know I'm the one who is cursed Purgatory beckons, souls lost forever Life after death or heaven hereafter Heard the call of the seven whistlers again Now Lucifer laughs, hell awaits I had their lives in my hands Their fate, their fortunes in my visions No one believed in my true prophecy And now, it's too late |

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

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

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

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