Lord Of The Flies (Harris, Gers) (Commentary) I don't care for this world anymore, I just want to live my own fantasy Fate has brought us to these shores, what was meant to be is now happening I've found that I like this living in danger Living on the edge it feels, it makes feel as one Who cares now what's right or wrong, it's reality Killing so we survive wherever we may roam Wherever we may hide, we've got to get away
I don't want existence to end, we must prepare ourselves for the elements I just want to feel like we're strong, we don't need a code of morality I like all the mixed emotion and anger It brings out the animal, the power you can feel And feeling so high with this much adrenaline Excited but scary to believe what we've become
Saints and sinners, something within us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners, something willing us To be lord of the flies (3:17-Solo: Janick Gers)
Saints and sinners, something within us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners, something willing us To be lord of the flies Saints and sinners, something within us We are lord of the flies Saints and sinners, something willing us To be lord of the flies
When you start to take a look within Do you feel at ease with what you see Do you think you can have peace of mind And have self belief or be satisfied
Do you think you even like yourself Or really think you could be someone else Is there something that you'd rather be Never thought you'd be, had the chance to see
All my life I've run away All my life I've tried to hide away
Feel the paranoia creeping in Like a cancer eating at the skin Do you feel you've lost your self-esteem And your self respect, what can you expect
All my life I've run away All my life I've tried to hide away
All my life... I've run away Let my faith... slip away All my life... I've run away Allowed my faith... to drift away
Are you scared to look inside your mind Are you worried just at what you'll find Do you really want to face the truth Does it matter now, what have you got to lose
Try to release the anger from within Forgive yourself a few immortal sins Do you really care what people think Are you strong enough to release the guilt
All my life I've run away All my life I've tried to hide away
All my life... I've run away Let my faith... slip away All my life... I've run away Allowed my faith... to drift away
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!
I've looked into the heart of darkness Where the blood-red journey ends When you've faced the heart of darkness Even your soul begins to bend
For a week I have been waiting Still I am only in Saigon The walls move in a little closer I feel the jungle call me on
Every minute I get weaker While in the jungle they grow strong What I wanted was a mission And for my sins they gave me one
They brought it up just like room service 'Cause everyone gets what they want And when that mission was all over I'd never want another one
I know, captain, That you've done this work before We've got a problem You can help us all I'm sure The colonel's gone rogue And his methods are unsound You'll take a PBR up river track him down
There's a conflict in every human heart And the temptation is to take it all to far In this war things get so confused But there are some things Which cannot be excused
He's acting like a God - an insane lunatic Your mission - exterminate With extreme prejudice The route is dangerous And your progress may be slow Here is the file and it's all you need to know
Here I am the knife in my hand And now I understand why the genius must die
Now I stand alone in the darkness With his blood upon my hands Where sat the warrior the poet Now lie the fragments of a man
I've looked into the heart of darkness Where the blood-red journey ends When you've faced the heart of darkness Even your soul begins to bend
A lonely cry for help reaching out for help to anyone A silent prayer to God to help you on your way I've been depressed so long It's hard to remember when I was happy I've felt like suicide a dozen times or more But that's the easy way, that's the selfish way The hardest part is to get on with your life
You're searching in the dark Clutching at straws to find a way You take the Tarot cards And throw them to the wind Your question your beliefs, your inner thoughts, your whole existence And if there is a God then answer if you will And tell me of my fate, tell me of my place Tell me if I'll ever rest in peace
If you could live your life again Would you change a thing Or leave it all the same If you had the chance again Would you change a thing at all When you look back at your past Can you say that you are proud Of what you've done Are there times when you believe that the right you thought was wrong
All of my life I have believed Judgement of Heaven is waiting for me
All of my life now I have believed Judgement of Heaven awaits for me
All of my life I have believed Judgement of Heaven is waiting for me Is waiting for me ...
Silently to silence fall In the fields of futile war Toys of death are spitting lead Where boys that were our soldiers bled Warhorse and war machine Curse the name of Liberty Marching on as if they should Mix in the dirt our brothers' blood
In the mud and rain What are we fighting for? Is it worth the pain? Is it worth dying for? Who will take the blame? Why did they make a war? Questions that come again Should we be fighting at all?
Once, a ploughman hitched his team Here he sowed his little dream Now bodies, arms, and legs are strewn Where mustard gas and barbwire bloom Each moment's like a year I've nothing left inside for tears Comrades dead or dying lie I'm left alone asking, "Why?"
In the mud and rain What are we fighting for? Is it worth the pain? Is it worth dying for? Who will take the blame? Why did they make a war? Questions that come again Should we be fighting at all?
After the war Left feeling no one has won After the war What does a soldier become
War is over and battles are gone After the war, no one has won I'm just a soldier
All my dark dreams drift Like smoke in the breeze The fear grips me as I fall towards my sleep Here comes the nightmare that never ends Here is the dream that makes monsters of men
In the house of my soul In rooms of ugliness and cold Memories locked away All the doubts and fears I never faced
Now they come again I am falling down to meet with them Fears within us all Mine awake and they stand up tall
Look for the truth Deepest cut of all from you Knife of the truth Blade of harted slicing through
I pray my sleep will break Maybe this time I won't wake Weakness I hide so well This dagger in my mind will tell
It's my final stand I make a fist out of each hand To shadows of the past Take a breath and I scream attack
Look for the truth Deepest cut of all from you Knife of the truth Blade of hatred slicing through Here is the truth Deepest cut of all from you knife of the truth Blade of hatred slicing through
After the war And now that they've sent us homeward I can't help but feel that I'm on my own No one can see just what this conflict has done to The minds of the men who are on their way home
I'm scarred for life but it's not my flesh that's wounded So how can I face the torment alone The vivid scenes and all the recurring nightmares I lay there and sweat until it gets light
People say 'don't worry' Say that time's a perfect healer That the nightmares they will come to pass Can't hear what they're saying I am living in my own world And I'm feeling trance-like all the time
I hear voices in my head Could I really be going crazy In the night the visions seem so real Do you care if you live or die When you laugh are you really crying You're not sure what's real anymore
Fortunes of war Fortunes of war Fortunes of war no pain anymore
Sometimes I wake I feel that my spirit's broken I wonder if I've the strength... carry on carry on
The freeway is jammed and it's backed up for miles The car is an oven and baking is wild Nothing is ever the way it should be What we deserve we just don't get you see A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge Each step gets closer to losing his head Is someone in heaven are they looking down 'Cause nothing is fair just you look around
Falling down Falling down Falling down...
He's sick of waiting of lying like this There's a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss Branded a leper because you don't fit In the land of the free You can live by your wits
Once he built missiles a nations defence Now he can't even give birthday presents Across the city he leaves in his wake A glimpse of the future a cannibal state
Falling down Falling down Falling down...
The freeway is jammed and its backed up for miles the car is an oven and baking is wild Nothing is ever the way it should be What we deserve we just don't get you see A briefcase, a lunch, and a man on the edge Each step gets closer to losing his head Is someone in heaven are they looking down Nothing is fair just you look around
Eleven saintly shrouded men silhouettes stand against the sky one in front with a cross held high come to wash my sins away
Standing alone in the wind and rain feeling the fear that is growing Sensing the change in the tide again caught by the storm that is brewing Feel the anxiety hold off the fear some of the doubt in the things you believe Now that your faith will be put to the test nothing to do but await what is coming Why is then God still protecting me even when I don't deserve it? Though I am blessed with an inner strength some they would call it a penance Why am I meant to face this alone asking the question time and again Praying to God won't keep me alive Inside my head feel the fear start to rise...
They'll be saving their prayers when the moment comes there'll be penance to pay when it's judgement day And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes they'll be coming to claim, take your soul away
The sign of the cross The name of the rose A fire in the sky The sign of the cross
They'll be coming to bring the eternal flame They'll be bringing us all immortality Holding comunion so the world be blessed my creator, my God, lay my soul to rest
The sign of the cross The name of the rose A fire in the sky The sign of the cross
Lost the love of heaven above Chose the lust of the earth below Eleven saintly shrouded men Came to wash my sins away
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
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
I'm an educated fool So I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do About this awkward situation That's been forced down right upon me
As I'm walking down into on my own into the valley of life Got a lifetime of experience yeah I've got so much to give
Open the page at chapter one could this just be that life's just begun Forever within your darker thoughts Reflecting on everything you've been taught
Never felt this way before Seems that somebody's just opened the door To the book of life .... or is it death! there's ever anyway out
Someone's looking down on me to the very inner core of my soul They won't tell me what they see But I really want to know
I want to leave my life on my own I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire I want to live out all my desires
I want to go and see the fire burn I want to see and feel my world turn I want to know what more there's to learn I want to pass the point of no return
Do you really wanna be Just another one statistic or feel
That you really should aspire That you really do deserve more
Do you ever really fell That you have so much potential inside What you really have to give Could be realized so much more
Time will flow And I will follow Time will go But I will follow
I want to feel what life's like respond I want to meet my father beyond I want to walk right into the light I want to feel no fear but delight
I want to leave my life on my own I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire I want to live out all my desires
My telescope looks out into the stars tonight A little speck of light seems twice the size tonight The Calculations are so fine can it be growing all the Time?
Now I can't believe its true and I don't know what to do For the hundredth time I check the declination
Now the fear starts to grow even my computer shows There are no errors in the calculations
Now it's happened take no other view Collision course, you must believe it's true Now there's nothing left that we can do
When Two Worlds collide The anger and the pain Of all those who remain Two worlds collide Who will be left alive No place to hide
When Two Worlds Collide The anger, the pain Of those who remain When two worlds collide When two worlds collide So who will survive there's No place to hide When Two Worlds collide
Wake alone in the hills with the wind in your face It feels good to be proud and be free and a race That is part of a clan and to live on highlands And the air that you breathe so pure and so clean
When alone on the hills With the wind in your hair With a longing to feel .. Just to be free
Is it right to believe in the need to be free It's a time when you die and without asking why Can't you see what they do they are grinding us down They are taking our land that belongs to the clans
Not alone with a dream Just want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman .....Freedom
It's a time wrought with fear it's a land wrought with change
Ancestors could hear What is happening now They would turn in their graves they would all be ashamed That the land of the free has been written in chains And I know what I want
When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman
And I swear to defend And we'll fight to the end And I swear that I'll never be taken alive And I know that we'll stand and we'll fight for our land And I swear that my bairns Will be born free
And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what i want I am the clansman .....freedom
And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman
No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We've the land of the free Freedom
Is it right to believe in the need to be free It's a time when you die and without asking why Can't you see what they do they are grinding us down They are taking our land that belongs to the clans
Not alone with a dream Just want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman
And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman ?..Freedom
I feel the breeze on my face in expectance Not very long before the storm reaches here Off in the distance the lightning is flashing again Feel something strong as the power draws near
Is it the rolling of thunder that scares you Is it the crashing of clouds that hold fear But all I know as I sit in a corner alone It takes me back to my childhood again
And as I wait and I look for an answer To all the things going round in my head I ask myself could it be a disaster and when It's maybe threatening to happen again
As the ominous light draws near There's a lone dog howls in the park All the people hurry inside As a lightning flash lights dark The storm is nearly here Only God will know
You're sitting alone you watch As the wind is blowing treetops And the swaying rustling leaves Plenty of time to perceive As you wait for rain to fall Only God knows The whole sky glows
Roll of the dice Take a spin of the wheel Out of your hands now So how do you feel But you're not gonna win You'd better go back again
Do you feel lucky Or do you feel scared Take what luck brings And be Devil may care But you're down on your luck what will the next day bring
Adrift on the ocean Afloat in a daydream Or lost in a maze Or blind in the haze So what does it matter So why don't you answer So why did you send An angel to mend
Best make decisions Before it's too late Take all your chances Take hold of the reins A roll of the dice Ahead of the game again
Nothing to lose But so much to gain A little danger It goes without saying But what do you care You're gonna go in the end Gate open to heaven
Is ready and waytnig Or straight down to hell Can go there as well
I'll suffer my craving My soul's not worth saving Sowhy don't you go Just leave well alone
Don't you think i'm a savior Don't you think i could save you Don't you think i could save your life
There's like a hunger That knocks on your door You've had a taste of it Still you want more You've made your mistakes Won't play it the same again
You have been warned But still you plunge in You play high stakes But there's nothing to win You've only one life And so many things to learn
The Angel on one side The Devil the other Which path do you take Decisions to make
Arrive at the crossroads You know where you're going And what if you wait It may be too late
