Hey baby, why don't ya come and ride with me
Like a bullet I'm the fastest thing you've ever seen Hey mamma can you hear the monster scream Feel the power riding in my mean machine Just me and my machine out on the highway Just me and my machine I'll take you tonight To the redline Like lighting it's the only way I get my fun Don't stop me I gotta let my motor run Sensation running up and down my spine Celebration streaking past the winning line Just me and my machine out on the highway Just me and my machine I'll take you tonight To the redline Hey baby, why don't ya come and ride with me Like a bullet I'm the fastest thing you've ever seen Hey mamma can you hear the monster scream Feel the power riding in my mean machine Just me and my machine out on the highway Just me and my machine I'll take you tonight To the redline To the redline I'll take ya tonight To the redline Redline 02. Warrior
They land on your shore
Kick down your door Invaders from over the sea They rape and they slaughter Your wives and your daughter Pillage the wealth from your land Where do they come from these warrior hoards When their death and destruction to you They come with the thunder To kill and to plunder Pillage the wealth from your land So build you defenses against the invader The tyrant from over the sea Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered The village is peaceful No sign of danger People at work in the fields Then they hit you like lightning Screaming and fighting Gunning you down in the wheat Over the border The raiding marauder Carry this wealth to the sea So you bury your dead Put out the fires But the death will be back with the tide So build you defenses against the invader The tyrant from over the sea Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered They land on your shore Kick down your door Invaders from over the sea They rape and they slaughter Your wives and your daughter Pillage the wealth from your land Where do they come from these warrior hoards When their death and destruction to you They come with the thunder To steal and to plunder Spilling your blood on the ground So build you defenses against the invader The tyrant from over the sea Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered 03. Power And The Glory
I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to kill
Put me to battle I'll follow the sound of the gun Give me an order, command me I'll fire at will I've got no emotions I'm living with thunder and steel I don't hear your lies all I hear are your battle cries I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to die To the power and the glory Raise your glasses high To the power and the glory Be with me tonight A cold death awaits me tonight if I stumble or fall My friends lay around me their bodies all tattered and torn But mine is not to reason why, mine is just to do or die To the power and the glory Raise your glasses high To the power and the glory Be with me tonight Can you feel the power Can you feel the glory Can you feel the power Can you feel the glory Can you feel the power Is it with you tonight I'm fighting for freedom, I'm safe, I've got God on my side What price in life can you justify your battle hymn The General says we'll will win the war, just sacrificed a thousand more To the power and the glory Raise your glasses high To the power and the glory Be with me tonight Tonight, tonight, tonight To the power and the glory Raise your glasses high To the power and the glory Be with me tonight Tonight, yaya 04. Nightmare
(Where were you in the night)
(Where were you in the night) As the night closes in I lay in my bed Since you went away it's been driving me mad I stand in my room I can't the light I wish you were here I'm lonely at night I'm caught in a nightmare Alone in the night (Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare (Where were you) Alone in the night (Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare (Where were you) Alone in the night I was caught on the inside I'm afraid of the night That my nightmare begin where reality ends I won't sleep tonight my head's spinning 'round I'm alone in a crowd I wait for the dark For my nightmare to start I'm lonely at night Don't leave me this way I'm caught in a nightmare Alone in the night (Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare (Where were you) I was alone in the night (Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare (Where were you) Alone in the night (Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare (Where were you) Alone in the night (Where were you) Here where you found me (Where were you) Alone in the night (Don't walk away) Don't leave me this way (Don't leave me this way) Don't walk away (Where were you in the night) Alone in the night (Where were you) Don't leave me, no (In the night) Don't walk away (Where were you in the night) 05. Midas Touch
See the man in the bookshop
See his withered hand He walks very slowly never stands in crowds Children stand and wonder as he turns and walks away Closely guards the secret Of the beauty in his eyes He's the man with the Midas touch He'll make you burn with just one look He's the man with the Midas touch He's got the beauty in his eyes He looks so innocent As he shuffles down the street But he is the holy sentinel That guards the gates of Hades To stop the Lord Of Darkness Coming straight from hell The bringer of disaster The one who tolls the bell He's the man with the Midas touch He'll make you burn with just one look He's the man with the Midas touch He's got the beauty in his eyes Until the final conflict He has to walk the earth To do his master's bidding And stop the evil force He waits for Armageddon The Nazarene will come Rising from the ashes Of the fallen world He's the man with the Midas touch He'll make you burn with just one look He's the man with the Midas touch He's got the beauty in his eyes [Repeat twice to end] 06. This Town Rocks
Does this town know how to rock
This town knows how to rock This town knows how to rock This town knows how to rock This town knows how to rock We're gonna Saxonize You're gonna vandalize your soul It does no good to sit there Stand up and rock 'n' roll We know what your doin' here We'll start a ballroom blitz So come on down and rock with us We'll blow this town to bits Well I ain't seen a crowd like this Since nineteen seventy four I wanna see you rock tonight We're gonna lock the doors, yaya This town knows how to rock This town knows how to rock This town knows how to rock This town knows how to rock I've walked the streets of London And I've been to Tokyo I've seen the Coliseum And I've grasped the Berlin wall I've heard the bands of Scotland I've seen the Alpine snow I've crossed the Mississippi I've touched the Alamo Well I ain't seen a crowd like this Since nineteen seventy four I wanna see you rock tonight We're gonna lock the doors, yaya This town knows how to rock This town knows how to rock This town knows how to rock This town... This town knows how to rock This town knows how to rock This town knows how to rock This town... Does this town know how to rock 07. Watching The Sky
Ever since I was a young boy
I turned towards the sky I know there's something out there A message in the stars When the night is black And the dark is dark I stand and watch your lights I long to be there with you And join you in your flights I've been watching the sky Waiting for you I've been watching the sky Calling to you I wrote off to the government For I got no reply They tell us there's no cover up But I don't believe their lies Fifty billion planets There's gotta be some life Don't tell me I'm the only one Standing in the night I've been watching the sky Waiting for you I've been watching the sky Calling to you I've been watching the sky Waiting for you I've been watching the sky Calling to you Ever since I was a young boy I turned towards the sky I know there's something out there A message in the stars When the night is black And the dark is dark I stand and watch your lights I long to be there with you And join you in your flights I've been watching the sky Waiting for you I've been watching the sky Calling to you I've been watching the sky Waiting for you I've been watching the sky Calling to you I've been watching Watching the sky I've been watching the sky Waiting for you I've been watching the sky Waiting for you 08. The Eagle Has Landed
Take a giant step for mankind
On a distant lunar sea As you travel across the universe Will you take a step, take a step for me Will you take a step for me Voyage of an eagle Blasting to the stars You take the hopes and dreams of men To find yourself, to find tranquillity To find tranquillity Traveled across the universe And placed the lonely flag Out there in isolation At the final, the final frontier At the final frontier The world's in celebration As we wait for your return You took a giant leap for mankind On another, on another world On another world Take it easy take it slow Don't go fast don't let go The eagle has landed The eagle has landed The eagle has landed The eagle has landed |
