RAINMAKER

(Murray/Harris/Dickinson)

 

When I was wandering in the desert

And was searching for the truth

I heard a choir of angels calling out my name

I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again

I turn my face towards the barren sun

 

And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me

And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves

And the cracks in our lives like the cracks upon the ground

They are sealed and are now washed away

 

You tell me we can start the rain

You tell me that we all can change

You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away

You tell me we can start the rain

You tell me that we all can change

You tell me we can find something to wash the tears...

 

And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me

And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves

And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives

They are sealed and are now far away

 

You tell me we can start the rain

You tell me that we all can change

You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away

You tell me we can start the rain

You tell me that we all can change

You tell me we can find something to wash the tears...

 

You tell me we can start the rain

You tell me that we all can change

You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away

You tell me we can start the rain

You tell me that we all can change

You tell me we can find something to wash the tears...

 

And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me

And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves

And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives

They are sealed and are now far away

DANCE OF DEATH

(Gers/Harris)

 

Let me tell you a story to chill the bones

'Bout a thing that I saw

One night wandering in the everglades

I'd one drink but no more

 

I was rambling enjoying the bright moonlight

Gazing up at the stars

Not aware of a presence so near to me

Watching my every move

 

Feeling scared and I fell to my knees

As something rushed me from the trees

Took me to an unholy place

And that is where I fell from grace

 

Then they summoned me over to join in with them

To the dance of the dead

Into the circle of fire I followed them

Into the middle I was led

 

As if time had stopped still I was numb with fear

But still I wanted to go

And the blaze of the fire did no hurt upon me

As I walked onto the coals

 

And I felt I was in a trance

And my spirit was lifted from me

And if only someone had the chance

To witness what happened to me

 

And I danced and I pranced and I sang with them

All had death in their eyes

Lifeless figures they were undead all of them

They had ascended from hell

 

As I danced with the dead

My free spirit was laughing and howling down at me

Below my undead body

Just danced the circle of dead

 

Until the time came to reunite us both

My spirit came back down to me

I didn't know if I was alive or dead

As the others all joined in with me

 

By luck then a skirmish started

And took the attention away from me

When they took their gaze from me

Was the moment that I fled

 

I ran like hell faster than the wind

But behind I did not glance

One thing that I did not dare

Was to look just straight ahead

 

When you know that your time has come around

You know you'll be prepared for it

Say your last goodbyes to everyone

Have a drink and say a prayer for it

 
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
When you're lying in your sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams to go dancing with the dead
 
To this day I guess I'll never know
Just why they let me go
But I'll never go dancing no more
'Til I dance with the dead
