One new heart, looking to learn it all from Rock n Roll,
So beat your drum from the start, It was clear we had a lot to learn our souls to be won. Have we the faith for you for good and bad we're due. Makin Music Makin Music Rock n Roll Makin Music Makin Music Rock n Roll Rock n Roll One new song doing so much more than making friends It can make us proud Now we know we can look around To find the rock, the stone of sound Have we the faith for you for good and bad we're due. Makin Music Makin Music Rock n Roll Makin Music Makin Music Rock n Roll Rock n Roll I was fooled by what I do Makin Music Don't you see It ain't for me, It's for you It's for you. 02. Out Of Phase
You never listen in to what they know
They only play the songs you've always known Can replace the roll of fifty nine As you are and always were in love that time You're unsure of the marriage vow Lived it once, and in it hide you now, The morning ash the fire of sixty nine Will remain with you and hope for better times Out of phase Will you always be Out of phase Getting back to me Out of phase, out of phase Finding love, you go to memories Hold on tight, romantic hearts are near Going somewhere, is there anywhere That smiles aloud, a place where all are proud. Out of phase Will you always be Out of phase Getting back to me Out of phase, out of phase Looking around me You're not the only one Looking for something old Looking for something done Out of phase, out of phase Out of phase, out of phase Wo oh oh wo oh oh Out of phase Will you always be Out of phase Getting back to me Out of phase, out of phase Never seeing, never saying who you are Don't conform to them You're better as you are, Out of phase, out of phase..... 03. The Kingmaker
At risk of traitors gate he'll raise,
The seed of power now, has grown in size, Intent to crown his bloody prize, Ooh, resolute as a King to soar, The sword of lies he takes to war To breach the wall and nations fall. The quick of steel, betrays his fear, Ambition plays her part, that's clear, Betrayed is how he'll die, Dismayed by anguish, cries, Enslaved by desperate crfimes Oh betrayed by time. 04. One More Night
You're like a jewel, that burns into me well,
You are a school without the time for bells, I am a wanderer looking out for warmth Only from you can I get what I want So don't cut me loose for what's the use That would be lies and goodbyes All I want, a night with you One night with you One night with you One more night with you I walk on the wind, the future comes and goes, I'll dance to a tune and with it all her wrongs. And touch me again, silk caress my head, Wide eyed boy's makin' noise when being read. So don't cut me loose for what's the use That would be lies and goodbyes All I want, a night with you One night with you One night with you One more night with you All I want, one night with you Wo oh oh oh oh Spend more time with you.... 05. To The Devil His Due
Don't ya hide away from the bad things coming to you,
Don't ya hide your face from the things that don't ring true, Good times, bad times, that may be so, You're just part of the game and they never stop letting you know But we hold the key to the future game, We live in hope, she'll stay the same, Hold on there just a little longer, Ooh baby, good times, bad times. Ah ah ah ah, to the devil his due Ah ah ah ah, to the devil his due Ah ah ah ah, to the devil his due You stay good baby and don't you get bad at all, And I might tell you now what I see in my crystal ball, Good times, bad times, coming your way, Ooh now watch out baby, the devil's gonna have his day. But we hold the key to the future game, We live in hope, she'll stay the same, Hold on there just a little longer, Ooh baby, good times, bad times. Ah ah ah ah, to the devil his due Ah ah ah ah, to the devil his due Ah ah ah ah, to the devil his due To the devil, his due To the devil, his due To the devil, his due To the devil, his due.... 06. Knight Of The Swords
A jewelled sceptre plucked by order to serve their cause
To vanquish the swords of chaos and tip the scales again The last of noble blood you know time must take its course You blood red robe will never feel the same For beyond the sea of fire To embrace a fate you've known To split the heart of destiny Up to the bitter throne Knight of the swords Knight of the swords Knight of the swords Knight of the swords At first his thirst for vengeance fuelled his bitter heart As he scaled through time and beyond the learning tree Ghostly ships trapped in mystic bands summon to play Sorcerer of chain, come we'll set you free For beyond the sea of fire To where pain can call her home To stir the rock of destiny Up to the bitter throne Knight of the swords Knight of the swords Knight of the swords Knight of the swords The curse of a cause Knight of the swords The knoght of the swords A tear does fill this man So beyond the sea of fire she calls, she calls For beyond the sea of fire And above the heart of man To stir the rock alacrity And strike her bonds again Knight of the swords Knight of the swords Knight of the swords Knight of the swords The curse of the swords Knight of the swords The knight of the swords 07. Ishmael
Search my heart for things i've done
When dragon's teeth are poised for war Can we be sure of peace at all, When the spirit moves the world, Wo oh oh oh oh oh, Ishmael, oh Ishmael Ishmael, oh Ishmael The prophets blood, we call our own A pause for thought, come kingdom come, Will you be swords for Gideon, When the spirit moves the world, Wo oh oh oh oh oh What wrong have I done Ishmael, oh Ishmael Ishmael, oh Ishmael So when the truth has come to pass, And our misdeeds are in the past Will you again, be moved to ask, When the spirit moves the world Ooh wo oh oh oh oh What wrong have I done Ishmael, oh Ishmael I hear you well, oh Ishmael.... 08. I Need Your Love
So here I am
The Class of seventy six Worn, drawn and frayed Not to wonder why at this. The way of things to come The beat has just begun I need your love I need so much love I need your love I need your love, need you here. So I can sleep So I'll not dream of war To reassure the me you've brought so far The way of things to come The beat has just begun I need your love I need so much love I need your love I need your love I need your love I need your love The way of things to come The beat has just begun 09. Canterbury
Blessed stand I, he has in fear
Yield to despair, Four swords drawn, sworn to Kings, A will that they share, Oh to die for martyrdom, Wash the wind martyrdom, with blood, In Canterbury, oh, oh, in Canterbury. She's settled as evil, As a plague to destroy old Canterbury, Bear witness to malady, For here the chords that will make history, Oh mystery. They say 'strike him down!' Strike him down! His 'strife stirred France' repaid by those Who'll raise their hearts To spite the people of Canterbury. Ethereal Cathedral, Your voice, the voice of Canterbury, Resist your temptations And look to the wind, for conspiracies, ooh Infamy! They say 'strike him down!' Strike him down! Let stone and oak decay the crown. Who'll raise their hearts To spite the people of Canterbury. When her dead breath has numbered the land, And Barons will rule as they planned. Oh Cathedral you've died! Oh Cathedral you lied! The sins of our Fathers, You are here with me, Can we forgive you? For the fall of Canterbury. |
