(Smith/Harris) |
|
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 fulfilment 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 |
|
I'm feeling more confused the more the days go by |
|
(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) |
|
It's the same in every country |
|
When you say you're leaving |
|
Left behind the loved ones |
|
Waiting silent in the hall |
|
Where you're going lies adventure |
|
Others only dream of |
|
Red and green light this is real |
|
And so you go to war |
|
|
|
For the passion, for the glory |
|
For the memories, for the money |
|
You're a soldier, for your country |
|
What's the difference, all the same |
|
|
|
Far away from the land of our birth |
|
We fly a flag in some foreign earth |
|
We sailed away like our fathers before |
|
These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war |
|
|
|
There is no one that will save you |
|
Going down in flames |
|
No surrender certain death you |
|
Look it in the eye |
|
On the shores of tyranny you |
|
Crashed a human wave |
|
Paying for my freedom with your |
|
Lonely unmarked graves |
|
|
|
For the passion, for the glory |
|
For the memories, for the money |
|
You're a soldier, for your country |
|
What's the difference, all the same |
|
Far away from the land of our birth |
|
We fly a flag in some foreign earth |
|
We sailed away like our fathers before |
|
These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war |
|
Far away from the land of our birth |
|
We fly a flag in some foreign earth |
|
We sailed away like our fathers before |
|
These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war |
|
Far away from the land of our birth |
|
We fly a flag in some foreign earth |
|
We sailed away like our fathers before |
|
These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war |
|
These colours don't run, from a cold bloody war |
|
(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) |
|
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 |
|
Rise 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 it's evil twin |
|
In the black the wings deliver him |
|
We will split our souls within |
|
Atom seed to nuclear dust is riven |
|
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 |
|
Of how he 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 leads 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 |
|
There the executioners they lie |
|
|
|
Bombers launch whit no recall |
|
Minutes 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 |
|
(Gers/Harris) |
|
The keys to death and hell |
|
The ailing kingdom doomed to fall |
|
The bonds of sin and heart will break |
|
The pilgrims course will take |
|
Quelling the devils might |
|
And ready for eternal fight |
|
Aching limbs and fainting soul |
|
Holy battles take their toll |
|
|
|
Liberty and hope divine |
|
Changing water into wine |
|
So to you we bid farewell |
|
Kingdom of heaven to hell |
|
|
|
Spirit holy life eternal |
|
Raise me up take me home |
|
Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset |
|
Onward journey begun |
|
|
|
To courage find and gracious will |
|
Deliver good from ill |
|
Clean the water clean our guilt |
|
With us do what you will |
|
|
|
Then will my judge appear |
|
Bear no false angel that I hear |
|
For only then I will confess |
|
To my eternal hell |
|
|
|
Now give us our holy sign |
|
Changing water into wine |
|
So to you we bid farewell |
|
Kingdom of heaven to hell |
|
Spirit holy life eternal |
|
Raise me up take me home |
|
Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset |
|
Onward journey begun |
|
Now give us our holy sign |
|
Changing water into wine |
|
So to you we bid farewell |
|
Kingdom of heaven to hell |
|
Spirit holy life eternal |
|
Raise me up take me home |
|
Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset |
|
Onward journey begun |
|
Spirit holy life eternal |
|
Raise me up take me home |
|
Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset |
|
Onward journey begun |

(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) |
|
In the gloom the gathering storm abates |
|
In the ships gimlet eyes await |
|
The call to arms to hammer at the gates |
|
To blow them wide throw evil to its fate |
|
All summers long the drills to build the machine |
|
To turn man from flesh and blood to steel |
|
From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach |
|
From summer sends to Armageddon's reach |
|
|
|
Overload your master not your god |
|
The enemy coast dawning grey with scud |
|
These wretched souls puking shaking fear |
|
To take a bullet for those who send them here |
|
|
|
The world's all right the cliffs erupt in flame |
|
No escape remorseless shrapnel rains |
|
Drowning men no chance for a warrior's fate |
|
A choking death enter hell's gates |
|
|
|
Sliding we go only fear on our side |
|
To the edge of the wire |
|
And we rush with the tide |
|
Oh the water is red |
|
With the blood of the dead |
|
But I'm still alive pray to God I survive |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Till we finally make it through |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Till we finally make it through |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Till we finally make it through |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Till we finally make it through |
|
The rising dead faces bloated torn |
|
They are relieved the living wait their turn |
|
Your number's up the bullet's got your name |
|
You still go on to hell and back again |
|
Valhalla waits Valkyries rise and fall |
|
The warrior tombs lie open for us all |
|
A ghostly hand reaches through the wall |
|
Blood and sand we will prevail |
|
Sliding we go only fear on our side |
|
To the edge of the wire |
|
And we rush with the tide |
|
Oh the water is red |
|
With the blood of the dead |
|
But I'm still alive pray to God I survive |
|
|
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Till we finally make it through |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Till we finally make it through |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Till we finally make it through |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Till we finally make it through |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Till we finally make it through |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Till we finally make it through |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Till we finally make it through |
|
How long on this longest day |
|
'Till we finally make it through |

|
Hold a halo round the world |
|
Golden is the day |
|
Princes of the Universe |
|
Your burden is the way |
|
So there is no better time |
|
Who will be born today |
|
A gypsy child at day break |
|
A king for a day |
|
|
|
Out of the Shadows and into the sun |
|
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done |
|
Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain |
|
But we must endure it to live again |
|
|
|
Dusty dreams in fading daylight |
|
Flicker on the walls |
|
Nothing new your life's adrift |
|
What purpose to it all? |
|
Eyes are closed and death is calling |
|
Reaching out its hand |
|
Call upon the starlight to surround you |
|
Out of the Shadows and into the sun |
|
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done |
|
Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain |
|
But we must endure it to live again |
|
Out of the Shadows and into the sun |
|
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done |
|
Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain |
|
But we must endure it to live again |
|
Out of the Shadows and into the sun |
|
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done |
|
Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain |
|
But we must endure it to live again |
|
Out of the Shadows and into the sun |
|
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done |
|
Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain |
|
But we must endure it to live again |
|
A man who casts no shadow has no soul |

|
Let me tell you about my life |
|
Let me tell you about my dreams |
|
Let me tell you about the things that happen |
|
Always real to me |
|
Let me tell you of my hope |
|
Of my need to reach the sky |
|
Let me take you on an awkward journey |
|
Let me tell you why |
|
Let me tell you why |
|
Why should these curses be laid upon me |
|
I won't be forgiven 'till I can break free |
|
What did I do to deserve all this guilt |
|
Pay for my sins with the sale of my soul |
|
Demons are trapped all inside of my head |
|
My hopes are gone reach for heaven from hell |
|
My sins are many my guilt is too heavy |
|
The pressure of knowing of hiding what I know |
|
I'm able to see things |
|
Things I don't want to see |
|
The lives of a thousand souls |
|
Weigh heavy down on me |
|
I know they're crying for help reaching out |
|
The burden of them will take me down as well |
|
The sin of a thousand souls not died in vain |
|
Reincarnate still in me live again |
|
Someone to save me |
|
Something to save me from myself |
|
To bring salvation |
|
To exorcise this hell |
|
Someone to save me |
|
Something to save me from myself |
|
To bring salvation |
|
To exorcise this hell |
|
Someone to save me |
|
Something to save me from myself |
|
A destination |
|
Away from this nightmare |
|
Someone to save me |
|
Something to save me from myself |
|
To bring salvation |
|
To exorcise this hell |
|
(Harris) |
|
Are you a man of peace |
|
Or man of holy war |
|
Too many sides to you |
|
Don't know which any more |
|
So many full of life |
|
But also filled with pain |
|
Don't know just how many |
|
Will live to breathe again |
|
|
|
A life that's made to breath |
|
Destruction or defence |
|
A mind that's vain corruption |
|
Bad or good intent |
|
A wolf in a sheep's clothing |
|
Or saintly or sinner |
|
Or someone that would believe |
|
A holy war winner |
|
They fire off many shots |
|
And many parting blows |
|
Their actions beyond a reasoning |
|
Only god would know |
|
And as he lies in heaven |
|
Or it could be in hell |
|
I feel he's somewhere here |
|
Or looking from below |
|
But I don't know, I don't know |
|
|
|
Please tell me now what life is |
|
Please tell me now what love is |
|
Well tell me now what war is |
|
Again tell me what life is |
|
|
|
More pain and misery in the history of mankind |
|
Sometimes it seems more like the blind leading the blind |
|
It brings upon us more of famine death and war |
|
You know religion has a lot to answer for |
|
|
|
Please tell me now what life is |
|
Please tell me now what love is |
|
Well tell me now what war is |
|
Again tell me what life is |
|
|
|
And as they search to find the bodies in the sand |
|
They find it's ashes that are scattered across the land |
|
And as their spirits seem to whistle on the wind |
|
A shot is fired somewhere another war begins |
|
|
|
And all because of it you'd think that we would learn |
|
But still the body count the city fires burn |
|
Somewhere there's someone dying in a foreign land |
|
Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man |
|
Tell me why, tell me why |
|
|
|
Please tell me now what life is |
|
Please tell me now what love is |
|
Well tell me now what war is |
|
Again tell me what life is |
|
Please tell me now what life is |
|
Please tell me now what love is |
|
Well tell me now what war is |
|
Again tell me what life is |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
Please tell me now what life is |
|
Please tell me now what love is |
|
Well tell me now what war is |
|
Again tell me what life is |
|
Please tell me now what life is |
|
Please tell me now what love is |
|
Well tell me now what war is |
|
Again tell me what life is |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
For the greater good of God |
|
He gave his life for us he fell upon the cross |
|
To die for all of those who never mourn his loss |
|
It wasn't meant for us to feel the pain again |
|
Tell me why, tell me why |
|
(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) |
|
There are secrets that you keep |
|
There are secrets that you keep |
|
There are secrets that you tell to me alone |
|
I can't reach things I can't see |
|
You don't see this strange world |
|
Quite the same as me |
|
Don't deny me what I am |
|
Nothing hidden still you fail to see the truth |
|
These are things you can't reveal |
|
These are things you can't reveal |
|
We are part of some strange plan |
|
Why the slaughter of the brotherhood of man |
|
Infernal sacrifice of hell |
|
Fire breathing lead the way |
|
Mounds of bodies as they all burn into one |
|
Revenge is living in the past |
|
Time to look into a new millennium |
|
Spiral path leads through the maze |
|
Down into the fiery underworld below |
|
Fire breathing lead the way |
|
Lucifer was just an angel led astray |
|
Free your soul and let it fly |
|
Give your life to the Lord of Light |
|
Keep your secrets and rain on me |
|
All I see are mysteries |
|
Free your soul and let it fly |
|
Give your life to the Lord of Light |
|
Keep your secrets and rain on me |
|
All I see are mysteries |
|
We are not worthy in your black and blazing eyes |
|
We gather demons in the mirror every day |
|
The bridge of darkness casts a shadow on us all |
|
And all our sins to you we give this day |
|
|
|
Others wait their turn their lives were meant to last |
|
Use yours wisely as the light is fading fast |
|
Free your soul and let it fly |
|
Mine was caught I couldn't try |
|
Time returns again to punish all of us |
|
We are cast out by our bloody fathers hand |
|
We are strangers in this lonely promised land |
|
We are the shadows of the one unholy ghost |
|
In our nightmare world the only one we trust |
|
Free your soul and let it fly |
|
Give your life to the Lord of Light |
|
Keep your secrets and rain on me |
|
All I see are mysteries |
|
Free your soul and let it fly |
|
Give your life to the Lord of Light |
|
Keep your secrets and rain on me |
|
All I see are mysteries |
|
(Gers/Harris) |
|
Tell you a thing that you ought to know |
|
Two minutes of your time then on you go |
|
Tell tale of the man all dressed in black |
|
That most of them not coming back |
|
Sent off to war to play little games |
|
And on their return can't name no names |
|
Some strange yellow gas has played with their minds |
|
Has reddened their eyes removed all the lies |
|
And strange as it sounds death knows no bounds |
|
How many get well only time will tell, only time will tell |
|
You lie in your death bed now but what did you bring to the table |
|
Brought us only holy sin utter trust is a deadly thing |
|
To the prayer of holy peace we didn't know what was lying underneath |
|
So how could we be such fools and to think that we thought you the answer |
|
I can't begin to understand in all the lies but on your death bed I can see it in your eyes |
|
Just as clear as all the sweat upon your brow it really makes sense I can see it clearly now |
|
Tangled up in a web of lies could have been a way to prophecies |
|
Unaware of the consequence not aware of the secrets that you keep |
|
Nothing that we could believe to reveal the facade of faceless men |
|
Not a thing that we could foresee now a sign that would tell us the outcome |
|
You had us all strung out with promises of peace but all along your cover plan was to deceive |
|
Can it put to rights now only time will tell your prophecies will send us all to hell as well |
|
Left to all our golden sons all to pick up on the peace |
|
You could have given all of them a little chance...at least |
|
Take the world to a better place given them all just a little hope |
|
Just think what a legacy you now...will leave |
|
|
|
We seem destined to live in fear and some that would say Armageddon is near |
|
But where there's a life while there's hope that man won't self destruct |
|
Why can't we treat our fellow men with more respect and a shake of their hands |
|
But anger and loathing is rife the death on all sides is becoming a way of life |
|
We live in an uncertain world fear understanding and ignorance is leading to death |
|
Only the corpses are left for vultures that prey on their bones |
|
But some are just not wanting peace their whole life is death and misery |
|
The only thing that they know fight fire with fire life is cheap |
|
But if they do stop to think that man is teetering right on the brink |
|
But do you think that they care they benefit from death and pain and despair |
