Mister Sandman, bring me a dream
Make her cutest that I've ever seen Give her two lips like roses in clover Then tell her that her lonesome nights are over Mister Sandman, I'm so alone Don't have nobody to call my own Please turn on your magic beam Mister Sandman, bring me a dream Mister Sandman, bring me a dream Make her cutest that I've ever seen Give her the word that I'm not a rover Then tell her that her lonesome nights are over Mister Sandman, I'm so alone Don't have nobody to call my own Please turn on your magic beam Mister Sandman, bring me a dream Mister Sandman, bring us a dream Give her a pair of eyes with a congeal of gleam Give her a lonely heart like Harlehatschi And not so wavy hair like Liberachi Mister Sandman, someone to hold Would be so peachy before we're to old So please turn on your magic beam Mister Sandman, brings us Please, please, please Mister Sandman Bring us a dream Yeah... 02. Surfin' USA
If everybody had an ocean
Across the U.S.A. Then everybody'd be surfin' Like Californi-a You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies Huarachi sandals too A bushy bushy blonde hairdo Surfin' U.S.A. You'd catch 'em surfin' at Del Mar Ventura County line Santa Cruz and Trestle Australia's Narabine All over Manhattan And down Doheny Way Everybody's gone surfin' Surfin' U.S.A. We'll all be planning that route We're gonna take real soon We're waxing down our surfboards We can't wait for June We'll all be gone for the summer We're on surfari to stay Tell the teacher we're surfin' Surfin' U.S.A. Haggerties and Swamies Pacific Palisades San Anofree and Sunset Redondo Beach L.A. All over La Jolla At Waimia Bay 03. Bright Eyes
Fool just another
Fool just another I've been waiting For signs of god Create- enslaved- behaved I'm out of control yeah, I've lost in a cold world Leave me alone Isolation bears hope There's something else waiting A promised destiny Freezing me I feel restless and low These days full of sadness Had joyfully changed into fear My freakshow will start tonight Don't miss the right time Bright eyes Blinded by fear of life No Merlin is by my side And it's wrapped inside It's all sustain my mind The lord of darkness takes my soul And where I left for a life so easy everything is out of control Hey, mother stubborn I really hate you If you say yes I will say no Ashes to ashes And dust won't be dust If you go there I will go back Bright eyes Blinded by fear of life Betrayed by sunrise Bright eyes Blinded by fear of life No Merlin is by my side Hey, father stubborn You're yin And I'm young I feel alone Who really cares Born into ashes To lose all the games With a smiling face With a smiling face Bright eyes Blinded by fear of life And dark dragons rise Bright eyes Blinded by fear of life No Merlin is by my side So I sit still in my room Winter's here In summer season shall I say I was wrong If I'm right And farewell to my final hope 04. Lord Of The Rings
There are signs on the Ring
Which makes me feel so down There's one to enslave all Rings To find them all in time And drive them into darkness Forever they'll be bound Three for the Kings Of the elves high in light Nine to the mortal Which cry I'll keep the Ring full of sorrow I'll keep the Ring till I die I'll keep the Ring full of sorrow I'll keep the Ring till i die [solo: Marcus] [Ref.:] Slow down and I sail on the river Slow down and i walk to the hill And there's no way out Mordor Dark land under Sauron's spell Threatened for a long time Threatened for a long time Seven rings to the dwarves In their halls made of stone Into the valley I feel down One ring to the dark lord's hand Sitting on his throne In a land so dark Where i have to go I'll keep the Ring [5x] [solo: Marcus] Slow down and I sail on the river Slow down and i walk to the hill [4x] Lord of the Rings 05. The Wizard
He was a wizard of a thousand kings
And I chanced to meet him one night wondering He told me tales and he drank my wine Me and my magic man kinda feeling fine He had a cloak of gold and eyes of fire And as he spoke I felt a deep desire To free the world of its fear and pain And help the people to feel free again Why don't we listen to the voices in our hearts Coz then I know we'd find we're not so far apart Everybody's got to be happy everyone should sing For we know the joy of life the reace that love can bring So spoke the wizard in his mountain home The vision of his wisdom means we'll never be alone And I will dream of my magic night And the million silver stars that guide me with their light 06. Spread Your Wings
Sammy was low
Just watching the show Over and over again Knew it was time He'd made up his mind To leave his dead life behind His boss said to him "Boy you'd better begin, To get those crazy notions right out of your head Sammy who do you think that you are? You should've been sweeping up the Emerald Bar" Spread your wings and fly away Fly away, far away Spread your little wings and fly away Fly away, far away Pull yourself together 'Cos you know you should do better That's because you're free man He spends his evenings alone in his hotel room Keeping his thoughts to himself, he'd be leaving soon Wishing he was miles and miles away Nothing in this world, nothing would make him stay Since he was small Had no luck at all Nothing came easy to him Now it was time He'd made up his mind "This could be my last chance" His boss said to him,"Now listen boy! You're always dreaming You've got no real ambition, you won't get very far Sammy boy, don't you know who you are? Why can't you be happy at the Emerald Bar?" So honey, Spread your wings and fly away Fly away, far away Spread your little wings and fly away Fly away, far away Pull yourself together 'Cos you know you should do better That's because you're free man 07. Mordred's Song
I've lost my battle before it starts
My first breath wasn't done My spirit's sunken deep into the ground Why am I alone I can hear my heartbeat Silence's all around See hate will rise So don't come closer Fear your child Born with a king's heart But fate fooled me And changed my cards None asked if I want it If I like it Pain inside is rising I am the fallen one A figure in an old game No joker's on my side I plunged into misery I'll turn off the light And murder the dawn Turn off the light And murder the dawn Nothing else but laughter is around me Forevermore Noone can heal me Nothing can save me Noone can heal me I've gone beyond the truth It's just another lie Wash away the blood on my hands My father's blood In agony we're unified I never wanted to be What they told me to be Fulfill my fate then I'll be free God knows how long I tried to change fate I plunged into misery I'll turn off the light And murder the dawn Turn off the light And murder the dawn!!! 08. Black Chamber
I am lost in the black chamber
There's no way to turn back There still is light in a difrent world It takes me down forevermore And death could be so sweet A dancing gloom in a empty room A cruel and painful game I'm possessed by the old creature Who has planned to take my soul Too late for me In my hands It lies I thought But I failed Now he's in me My soul is lost In his black chamber I'm gone 09. The Bard's Song
Now you all know
The bards and their songs When hours have gone by I'll close my eyes In a world far away We may meet again But now hear my song About the dawn of the night Let's sing the bards' song Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow will take it away The fear of today It will be gone Due to our magic songs There's only one song Left in my mind Tales of a brave man Who lived far from here Now the bard songs are over And it's time to leave No one should ask you for the name Of the one Who tells the story Tomorrow will take us away Far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow all will be known And you're not alone So don't be afraid In the dark and cold 'Cause the bards' songs will remain They all will remain In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in my mind These songs of hobbits, dwarves and men And elves Come close your eyes You can see them too 10. Barbara Ann / Long Tall Sally
Ba ba ba ba Barbara Ann
You've got me rockin' and a-rollin' Rockin' and a-reelin' Barbara Ann Went to a dance Looking for romance Saw Barbara Ann So I thought I'd take a chance Barbara Ann, take my hand You've got me rockin' and a-rollin' Rockin' and a reelin' Barbara Ann Tried Betty Sue Tried Betty Lou Tried Mary Sue But I knew it wouldn't do Barbara Ann, take my hand You've got me rockin' and a-rolling Rockin' and a-reeling Barbara Ann 11. A Past And Future Secret
Oh I haven't been here for a while
In blindness and decay the circle's been closed now My song of the end I've seen it all Listen crowd I'll tell you everything Though I have to say I don't know much Talking about a past and future secret Most called him once and future king Far back in the past I saw his ending Long before it started I knew his name He's the one who took the sword Out of the stone That's how that ancient tale began I hear it in the cold winds My song of the end I had seen it in my dreams My song of the end I can't stop the darkening clouds I feel cold When I cry out for the bark Take him back to Avalon Dwell on for a new age So long sleep well my friend Take him back to Avalon I will wait and guard The future king's crown My song of the end It was nice but now it's gone My song of the end It was fixed the whole time My song of the end I saw it all 12. To France
Taking on water
Sailing a restless sea From a memory A fantasy The wind carries Into white water Far from the islands Don't you know you're [chorus] Never going to get to France Mary Queen of chance will they find you? Never going to get to France Could a new romance ever bind you? Walking on foreign grounds Like a shadow Roaming in far off Territory Over your shoulder Stories unfold you're Searching for sanctuary You know you're [Chorus] I see a picture By the lamp's flicker Isn't it strange How dreams fade and shimmer Chorus I see a picture By the lamp's flicker Isn't it strange How dreams fade and shimmer [Chorus] Never going to get to france Never going to 13. Theatre Of Pain
[Instrumental]
14. Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah Hallelujah I am a preacher with a message for my people Over the world, scratching on the ground Looking for the peace that nobody has found I am a spokesman for a better way of living Love is the word and it can be heard If you are young the message can be sung Let me hear you sing Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Oh tell it to the man who's power is the sermon on the wall Tell it to the man who says you can misjudge them all Tell it 'till it can be heard above the wailing of the crowd Tell it on the field of war and hope you'll soon be justified There is a better way of life and it's not so hard to find If you live and let the people in your world Speak its mind I am the pupil who sells his life for freedom All over the world and it can be heard If you are young the message can be sung Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah 15. Beyond The Realms Of Death
He had enough
He couldn't take anymore He'd found a place In his mind and slammed the door No matter how they tried They couldn't understand They washed and dressed him Fed him by hand Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not you Withdrawn he'd sit there Stare blank into space No sign of life Would flicker on his face Until one day he smiled It seemed as though with pride The wind kissed him Goodbye - and then he died Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not you Keep the world with all its sin It's not fit for livin' in Yeah! I will start again It can take forever, and ever, and ever And ever, but I'll still win. How many like him, Are there still But to us, all Seem to have lost the will They lie in thousands Plagued and lost Is nothing worth this bitter cost Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not you Keep the world with all its sin It's not fit for livin' in Beyond the realms of death. 16. Don't Talk To Strangers
Don't talk to strangers
'Cause they're only there to do you harm Don't write in starlight 'Cause the words may come out real Don't hide in doorways You may find the key that opens up your soul Don't go to heaven 'cause it's really only hell Don't smell the flowers They're an evil drug to make you lose your mind Don't dream of women 'Cause they'll only bring you down Hey you, you know me You've touched me, but I'm real I'm forever the one who lets you look and see Can You feel me? I'm danger - I'm a stranger And I I'm darkness, I'm anger, I'm pain I am the master The evil song you sing inside your brain, drive you insane Don't talk Don't let them inside your mind yeah Run away, run away go Don't let them in your mind, touch your soul Don't dance in darkness You may stumble and you're sure to fall Don't write in starlight 'Cause the words may come out real Don't talk to strangers 'Cause they're only there to make you sad Don't dream of women 'Cause they'll only bring you down Run away |
