02. Thunderbolt
Cerebrus in the underworld
Guards the gates of hell Protects the world of Hades Where the dead must dwell The gods look down in anger On this wicked land The battle of the Titans Will be the final stand Unleash the gods of war Thunderbolt Father of the sky Thunderbolt The gods have sent a sign Zeus is in the heavens Watching from the sky The gods are on Olympus Waiting for a sign The Kraken rise below them Titan of the sea Coming for Poseidon To set the chaos free Unleash the gods of war Thunderbolt Father of the sky Thunderbolt The gods have sent a sign Thunderbolt Clashing from the sky Thunderbolt Hear the heavens cry Heavens cry Heavens cry Master of the heavens Ruler of the sky Homer writes the Odyssey About the gods on high Ancient Greek mythology Tells the tale of spite and greed The vanity that comes through power Never should succeed Unleash the gods of war Thunderbolt Father of the sky Thunderbolt The gods have sent a sign Thunderbolt Tearing past the sky Thunderbolt Hear the heavens cry 03. The Secret Of Flight
The legend tells of Icarus
Who flew too close towards the sun DaVinci drew the plans for flight But never saw his work begun You'll find the answers The answers riding on the wind Man has always looked towards the sky And dreamed of one day learning how to fly To soar just like an eagle out of sight They're searching for the secret The secret of flight On the fields the brothers Wright Wait to launch their maiden flight Shape the wings, the air will split The different pressure gives the lift You seek the knowledge The knowledge hidden in the clouds Man has always looked towards the sky And dreamed of one day learning how to fly To soar just like an eagle out of sight They're searching for the secret The secret of flight The secret of flight Through the wars, the race went on To build the planes to drop the bomb The jet age came at the speed of sound Einstein's theory breaking the ground Look for the truth The truth of how the birds can fly Man has always looked towards the sky And dreamed of one day learning how to fly To soar just like an eagle out of sight They're searching for the secret The secret of flight Man has always looked towards the sky (The secret of flight) And dreamed of one day learning how to fly (The secret of flight) To soar just like an eagle out of sight (The secret of flight) They're searching for the secret The secret of flight The secret of flight The secret of flight The secret of flight 04. Nosferatu (The Vampires Waltz)
A mighty ship lies broken on the rocks
The crew lay dead their bodies rot A wooden coffin washed up on the shore They drag it to the abbey steps Buried there and laid to rest But soon the evil curse will rise again Bring the cross and holy water Pray to God to stop the slaughter Nosferatu creature of the night Nosferatu darkness kills the light Underneath a blood red moon Darkness calls the night comes soon He rises from the grave to kill again Bar the gates and windows shut Turn away don't even look The Devils seed is hunting for the prey Take the vow before the alter Trust in God to stop the slaughter Nosferatu creature of the night Nosferatu darkness kills the light Beneath the abbey vaults we dance the vampire's waltz Lonely streets the village sleeps In the darkness evil creeps The smell of death lies heavy on the air A lonely soul just walking home She has the sense she's not alone With a deadly stare she falls beneath his will Bring the cross and holy water Pray to God to end the slaughter Nosferatu creature of the night Nosferatu darkness kills the light 05. They Played Rock And Roll
When the bomber flew
It was '79 Make no mistake It was their time Living fast and free The only way to be The world was on the street They were the boys to beat And they played rock and roll They played rock and roll They took no sleep The tour rolled on To hammersmith Their battle song Everything over the top Giving it all till you drop Adrenaline, leather and sweat No one would ever forget They played rock and roll They played rock and roll Dealing the ace Releasing the power The 80's were here This was the hour Decibels crushing your brain The closer you get to the pain Night after night on the road Falling asleep with the sun Bass like thunder Drums of steel Guitars of fury With lightning fear Living fast and free The only way to be The world was on the street They were the boys to beat And they played rock and roll They played rock and roll They played rock and roll They played rock and roll 06. Predator
Clandestine hunter, top of the food chain
Everything fears you, strike like a hurricane Stalking your prey, using your senses Coiled like a spring, there are no defenses Run for your lives There's no escape From the predator From the predator Silent and deadly, attack with no warning Pick out the weakest, the sick and the fawning Keep to the shadows, stealth is your weapon Nothing survives your naked aggression Run for your lives There's no escape From the predator From the predator Natural born killers, never found wanting Search for the victim, programmed for hunting Learning from birth, honing their skill There's no hesitation in, for the kill Run for your lives There's no escape From the predator From the predator 07. Sons Of Odin
You sailed across the seven seas
You brought the mighty to their knees Sons of Odin, a warrior creed Trained from birth for strength and speed The greatest sailors of their time Across the world your paths entwined You conquered lands with might and dare You sowed the seeds and settled there Take your sword and end my life I'm born to die, in battles fight Remember me, my deeds of valor I'll sit with kings in God's Valhalla Your bloodline lives through kings and queens A warrior clan with distant dreams You came and stayed to rule the land From the frozen North you made your stand You craftsmen skilled in steel and wood The beauty now is understood Gold and silver, the word of gods You rose above against the odds Take your sword and end my life I'm born to die, in battles fight Remember me, my deeds of valor I'll sit with kings in God's Valhalla Raiders from the North you ventured far Guided by the burning northern star You were searching for a fertile life You found it here beyond the ice Take your sword and end my life I'm born to die, in battles fight Remember me, my deeds of valor I'll sit with kings in God's Valhalla 08. Sniper
Mark the target, take it slow
Don't make a sound, let no one know Where you lie and hide from view Through the scope your aim is true Crosshairs mark the deadly spot Pull the trigger, take the shot Sniper! Never asks for reasons why Sniper! Let the bullet fly Check the sights, read the wind Take your time, you're disciplined Squeeze the trigger nice and smooth No sudden shock, no sudden move Keep your calm the patient one See the kill, the job is done Sniper! Never asks for reasons why Sniper! Let the bullets fly Deadly fire towards the kill No sentiment, you know the drill Highly trained, you are the best Super marksman, you passed the test Crosshairs mark the deadly spot Now squeeze the trigger and take that shot Sniper! Never asks for reasons why Sniper! Let the bullets fly Let the bullets fly Mark the target, take it slow Don't make a sound, let no one know Where you lie and hide from view Through the scope your aim is true Crosshairs mark the deadly spot Pull the trigger, take the shot Sniper! Never asks for reasons why Sniper! Let the bullet fly Sniper! You're dead before you hit the ground Sniper! Gone without a sound 09. A Wizard's Tale
There's a place called Camelot
In a land that time forgot Where lived a wizard The greatest of his time He used his magic for the good Defeating evil where he could Cast the spell, make the potions From the earth, healing lotions Wand and staff, wield the magic Mystic lands, dreams fantastic Whoa Dreams fantastic Whoa Enchanter of the royal court The king and queen's sole consort He never asked for favor or reward But behind his back were jealous tongues And the king was old, he had no sons Cast the spell, make the potions From the earth, healing lotions Wand and staff, wield the magic Mystic lands, dreams fantastic Whoa Wield the magic Whoa The word went out across the land Be you noble or lowly man Free the sword, be the chosen one But the wizard had a secret plan To stop the knights from taking land They need the sword to claim the jeweled crown Excalibur plunged into the stone Whoever frees it claims the throne Cast the spell, make the potions From the earth, healing lotions Wand and staff, wield the magic Mystic lands, dreams fantastic Whoa Dreams fantastic Whoa Wield the magic Casting the spell, making the potions Take from the earth, guarding the lotions Casting the spell, making the potions Take from the earth 10. Speed Merchants
Turn the wheel, start the drift
On the turn, make the shift Spinning wheels, burning rubber Hear the engine scream Revving high, reach the limit Turbocharged and born to live it On the edge, give it more Listen to the engine roar Ram the throttle down Listen to the sound Speed merchants Take it to the limit Speed merchants Loving every minute Choose the cars, start the fight Who's the fastest from the lights Acceleration pure and sweet Ram the pedal down Hit the red line, hear the sound Hold your nerve, you're gaining ground Charging fast across the line Hit the brakes and check the time Screaming through the gears It's music to your ears Speed merchants Take it to the limit Speed merchants Loving every minute Speed merchants Ram the throttle down Speed merchants Don't you hear the sound? On the track through twists and turns Tyres squeal and rubber burns Who's the fastest on the day? It's way too close to call Run the slow-mo, take the shot Motor screaming, running hot Every second like an hour Petrol heads and raw horse power Ram the throttle down Don't you love the sound? Speed merchants Take it to the limit Speed merchants Loving every minute Speed merchants Turn the wheel and spin it Speed merchants Loving every minute 11. Roadie's Song
An empty space, a cold dark room
You say hello and look for food The coffees strong to get you there The clock is ticking, no time to spare Rig the lights, build the sound Run the cables, check the ground Haul the gear, set the stage It's never easy to earn our wage 16 beds inside the bus Step inside be one of us A roadie's life is what we choose And the wheels keep rolling on 7 nights, 7 days Hauling gear this is your way Another town, it never stops Keep moving on till you're fit to drop We fall asleep to the sound of the road On through the night we move the load We're like a family with ups and downs But in the end, it all calms down 16 beds inside the bus Step inside be one of us A roadie's life is what we choose And the wheels keep rolling on A gypsy's way is what the choose Not for all but a chosen few They sacrifice a normal life To tour the world with no end in sight They live their life to keep the faith And get the band up on the stage Move the gear, rig the lights Check the sound, this is their life 16 beds inside the bus Step inside be one of us A roadie's life is what we choose And the wheels keep rolling on A roadie's life is what they choose And the wheels keep rolling on |
