ACES HIGH

(Harris)

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid, then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble we've got to get airborne, got to get up for the coming attack
Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines, remove all the wheel blocks there's no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway, gotta 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
Won't you 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 to 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
Rolling, turning, diving
Rolling, turning, diving
Run, live to fly, fly to live, do or die
Won't you run, live to fly, fly to live, aces high

KING OF TWILIGHT

(Nektar)

IM

I've been trying, trying so hard

I've been crying, crying in the dark

Don't forsake me the time of mine is near

Don't ever break me and the world that brought me here

IM

Sick and lonely waiting for you

Sick and lonely wondering what to do
Can you hear me when I say to you
You give me your hand I'll give mine to you
IM
When the king of twilight shows me
I will take ten steps to see
Forty leaves I pay for freedom
For a chance to be free
For a chance to be free
IM
When the king of twilight calls you
Take a step and you will see
We all need a quick solution

For a chance to be free

For a chance to be free

Free

IM

When the king of twilight shows me

I will take ten steps to see

Forty leaves I pay for freedom
For a chance to be free
For a chance to be free

THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST

(Harris)

 

I left alone my mind was black, 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 this all 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 takes its course
