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

THE WICKER MAN

(Smith/Harris/Dickinson)

 

Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you

He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do

Your tongue has frozen now you've got something to say

The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way

 

You watch the world exploding every single night

Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light

Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death

Hello to eternity and live for every breath

 

Your time will come, your time will come

Your time will come, your time will come

 

The ferryman wants his money you ain't going to give it back

He can push his own boat as you set up off the track

Nothing you can contemplate will ever be the same

Every second is a new spark, sets the universe aflame

 

You watch the world exploding every single night

Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light

Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain

The shadow of the Wicker Man is rising up again

 

Your time will come, your time will come

Your time will come, your time will come

 

Your time will come, your time will come

Your time will come, your time will come

Your time will come, your time will come

Your time will come, your time will come

CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED

(Harris)

 

He's walking like a small child, but watch his eyes burn you away

Black holes in his golden stare, God knows he wants to go home

 

Children of the damned

Children of the damned

Children of the damned

Children of the damned
 
He's walking like a dead man, if he had lived he would have crucified us all
Now he's standing on the last step, he thought oblivion, well it beckons us all
 
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
Children of the damned
 

Now it's burning his hands, he's turning to laugh

Smiles as the flames sear his flesh
Melting his face, screaming in pain
Watch him die according to plan
He's dust on the ground, what did we learn
 
You're children of the damned
Your back's against the wall
You turn into the light
You're children of the damned
Like candles watch them burn
Burning in the light
You'll burn again tonight
You're children of the damned
