Far out on the border
Stands an ancient wall The limits of the empire Where the eagles called Carpe diem Stretching out across the land Snakes through moor and stone The wall was built by Hadrian An emperor of Rome Carpe diem They came, they saw, they conquered The legions of the eagle will not fall Carpe diem Seize the day From coast to coast they built and slaved A tower every mile Legionnaires would live and die Under foreign skies Carpe diem The garrisons would guard the wall Looking to the north Out into the territory Of the northern hordes Carpe diem They came, they saw, they conquered The legions of the eagle will not fall Carpe diem Seize the day Carpe diem Seize the day Over time the legions left These long forgotten ruins Where battalions stood and held the line Against the Picts and druids Carpe diem Still the wall is standing now Keeping silent watch Upon the frontiers lonely post Towards the land of Scots Carpe diem They came, they saw, they conquered The legions of the eagle will not fall They came to fight and conquer The legends of the eagle will not die Carpe diem Seize the day 02. Age Of Steam
Looking back three hundred years
When horses ruled and turned the gears No one saw the future yet to come Life went on much the same A different pace, nothing changed But now the march of progress has begun Here comes the revolution Here comes the age of steam Stoke the fires to superheat Work the mine, thе coal is deep Feed the beast, the slavе of industry People come to join the race From towns and fields to claim a stake Of promised riches in cities paved with gold Here comes the revolution Here comes the age of steam Here comes the revolution Here comes the age of steam New machines of iron and steel Pulled the plow and turned the wheel Every new invention changed the world The railways came on iron tracks Crossed the world, no turning back Bringing wealth and power to the few Here comes the revolution Here comes the age of steam Here comes the revolution Here comes the age of steam 03. The Pilgrimage
Shine the light, show the way
We are leaving, leaving today To take the path already trodden To try and find what we're looking for It will be hard, it will be long We'll never falter, we shall be strong Our destination that is our quest We will not waiver, we will not rest The journey has begun We're marching on and on The pilgrimage The pilgrimage Through the ages the path was worn To find redemption and be rеborn In modern times we seek our hеroes We look for comfort, we search for peace A higher meaning, something spiritual A music icon or religious miracle We look for something to show the way We're all just pilgrims on life's highway To tread the pilgrim's path We won't be the last The pilgrimage The pilgrimage Some holy relic, a miracle cure Some deed of courage, a site of war It's human nature to find a meaning Of why we're here and endless dreaming To set our sights on distant lands We seek our way with open hands It's life's big question, that's what we seek In times of trouble show no defeat The journey has begun We're marching on and on We search the pilgrim's path For icons of the past The pilgrimage The pilgrimage 04. Dambusters
Long before the twilight
The planes are standing by Ground crew gather in the dusk Low voices asking why No one knows the target The mission has begun Flying into history To drop the bouncing bomb Start the mighty engines Roaring into life Turning to the airfield Into the fading light Gun the Merlin engines Up to take off speed The Lancaster is lifting They pray they will succeed Dambusters Squadron of the brave Dambusters The sacrifice you made Sacrifice you made Flying low across the night The British bombers flew On the deadly secret raid Hoping no one knew Target looms, the planes attack Into the mouth of Hell Hold her steady, release the bomb Only time will tell Dambusters Squadron of the brave Dambusters The sacrifice you made Dambusters Squadron of the brave Dambusters The sacrifice you made 05. Remember The Fallen
It came across the China sea
No one knew the threat to you and me All the warnings came too late The battle started slow and sealed their fate A silent killer stalked the streets A chance to spread across to all we meet When the war is done Our lives will never be the same Remember the heroes Remember their lives Remember the heroes Remember, remember the fallen Remember the fallen Just like the plague, it traveled fast Taking down whoever crossed its path It started first with sick and old The shocking truth was never really told The science tried to find the virus To kill the beast before it devours us When the war is done Our lives will never be the same Remember the heroes Remember their lives Remember the heroes Remember, remember the fallen Is it never-ending? Will we ever be free? How long will it take To bring normality? So many died before their time To put their lives upon the line The fatal bug tore through us all Some survived while others seemed to fall No one took it serious What caused it all is so mysterious When the war is won Our lives will never be the same Remember the heroes Remember their lives Remember the heroes Remember, remember the fallen Remember the fallen 06. Super Nova
Deep inside the heavens
Far across the Milky Way The star that shines the brightest in the sky Is ready to explode Lighting up the universe Implosion of the core Planets turn, planets die In this celestial war Supernova Hotter than the sun Supernova Destruction has begun Supernova Lighting up the sky Supernova The planet's turn to die The shockwaves cross the universe Spreading out in mighty cosmic waves Four hundrеd distant light years they will travel Bеfore we see that day A hundred million times Brighter than the sun The power of the nebula The end has just begun Supernova Hotter than the sun Supernova Destruction has begun Supernova Lighting up the sky Supernova The planet's turn to die Burning star's shattered light Then becomes a galaxy's black hole Defying laws of gravity Pulling all into its deadly soul From far across the universe We glimpse a dying sun Releasing bursts of energy Into this cosmic war Supernova Hotter than the sun Supernova Destruction has begun Supernova Lighting up the sky Supernova The sun is gonna die Supernova Supernova 07. Lady In Gray
She walks these lonely rooms
Caught inside the afterlife You catch a glimpse of something Moving in the corner of your sight A silent ghostly shadow A gentle breath against your skin Down these hallways of her dreams No one there to hear her screams She's supernatural Lady in gray Supernatural My lady in gray She wanders down these corridors Searching for the memories of her life Captured in a photograph Trapped between the dark and the light A vision of what used to be She's passing through the legacy of time Some believe it's only superstition Can't explain this ghostly apparition To never leave these halls of pain Forever here she will remain My lady in gray My lady in gray How did you die? My lady in gray What ended your life? My lady in gray Were you taken too young? My lady in gray Can you show us the answer? My lady in gray Can no one end your misery? My lady in gray Release you from this world My Lady in gray My lady in gray My lady in gray A shiver running down your spine Is someone watching you? A movement just beyond the light Her shape appears to come in view Gently sweeping past Is she searching for the life she knew? She'll never leave these halls of pain Forever here she must remain Down these hallways of her dreams No one there to hear her screams She's supernatural Lady in gray Supernatural My lady in gray Supernatural Lady in gray She's supernatural My lady in gray 08.

Black Is The Night
In the land of the white bear
Coldest place under the sun The ocean is freezing Days of the darkness begun Winter is coming Daylight is slipping away It's the end of the sunrise Shadows will cover the day Feel the darkness closing in Twenty-four hours a day Black, black is the night Black, black is the night On top of the ice cap Temperatures drop well below The blizzards are howling Driving the ice and the snow A fight for survival Only the strong will remain Shelter for warmth Till the sunlight will comе back again The sun is gone, therе's only night Twenty-four hours a day Black, black is the night Frozen white kingdoms Stretching out into the nights The heavens are dancing Glittering northern lights A blanket of stars Spreading out over the sky On the top of the world Sometimes you live or you die Feel the darkness closing in Twenty-four hours a day Black, black is the night Black black is the night Black is the night 10. Living On The Limit
We want a slice of everything
To see the world we're living in Take a chance and take a leap What we sow is what we reap Don't be afraid to ride the storms Just take the bull by the horns Living on the limit Living on the limit Living on the limit Living on the limit All the world is like a stage Just read the lines and turn the page We wanna feel adrenaline Just wanna live and take it in No one cares what's right or wrong Just let it go and sing the song Living on the limit Living on thе limit Living on the limit I wanna scream into the wind I wanna feel lifе on the brink Gonna set the world on fire I wanna take it to the wire Don't be afraid to ride the storms Just take the bull by the horns Living on the limit Living on the limit Living on the limit Living on the limit |
