(Gers/Dickinson/Harris) |
|
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are |
|
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are |
| Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are |
|
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are |
|
|
| Withered hands, withered bodies begging for salvation |
|
Deserted by the hand of gods of their own creation |
|
Nations cry underneath decaying skies above |
|
You are guilty, the punishment is death for all who live |
| The punishment is death for all who live |
|
|
| Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation |
|
Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation |
|
Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation |
| Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation |
| The killing fields, the grinding wheels crushed by equilibrium |
|
Separate lives no more disguise, no more second chances |
|
Haggard wisdom spitting out the bitter taste of hate |
|
I accuse you before you know the crime it's all too late |
| Before you know the crime it's all too late |
| Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation |
|
Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation |
|
Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation |
| Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation |
|
|
|
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are |
| Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are |
| Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation |
|
Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation |
|
Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation |
| Out of the silent planet, come the demons of creation |
|
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are |
|
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are |
| Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are |
|
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are |
| Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are |
|
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are |
|

|
From the coast of gold across the seven seas |
|
I'm travellin' on far and wide |
| But now it all 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 just 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 |
|

| 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 |
