Gagged, ball and chained
Feel just the same Heads on the wall Maybe you're just playing games Set me free Mauled by a hound Hangin' around Is this for real I don't know when I'll be found Set me free Set me free Set me free - from you Taken by force By you of course Far from my bed I know I'd rather be dead Set me free Set me free Set me free - from you Fire in my brain Burn me insane Making your mark Don't leave me here in the dark Set me free Call me a saint That's what I ain't Inside my head Maybe I'll feel better dead Set me free Set me free Set me free - from you 02. Blackout
I realize I missed a day
But I'm too wrecked to care anyway I look around and see this face What the hell have I lost my taste Don't want to find out Just want to cut out My head explodes, my ears ring I can't remember just where I've been The last thing that I recall I got lost in a deep black hole Don't want to find out Just want to cut out Blackout I really had a Blackout I grab my things and make a run On my way out, another one Would like to know before I stop Did I make it or did I flop Don't want to find out Just want to get out Blackout I really had a Blackout Don't want to find out Just want to get out Blackout I really had a Blackout 03. Heaven And Hell
Sing me a song, you're a singer
Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil The devil is never a maker The less that you give, you're a taker So it's on and on and on, it's heaven and hell Oh well The lover of life's not a sinner The ending is just a beginner The closer you get to the meaning The sooner you'll know that you're dreaming So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell I can tell Fool, fool Oh uh Yeah, yeah, yeah Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer And it's on and on, on and on and on and on and on and on and on They say that life's a carousel Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well The world is full of kings and queens Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams It's heaven and hell, oh well And they'll tell you black is really white The moon is just the sun at night And when you walk in golden halls You get to keep the gold that falls It's heaven and hell, oh no Fool, fool You've got to bleed for the dancer Fool, fool Look for the answer Fool, fool, fool 04. Lights Out
Wind blows back and the batons charging
It winds all the way Right to the butt of my gun Maybe now your time has come From the back streets there's a rumblin' Smell of anarchy No more nice time, bright boy shoe shines Pie in the sky dreams Hold 'em tight 'til the end Better now you know we'll never Wait 'til tomorrow Lights out, lights out in London Hold 'em tight 'til the end God knows when I'm comin' on (my) run Heaven help those who help themselves That's the way it goes The frightening thoughts of what's been taught And now it shows [* repeat] [instrumental] [* repeat] You keep comin', there's no runnin' Tried a thousand times Under your feet grass is growin' Time we said goodbye [* repeat] Lights out, lights out in London Lights out, lights out in London 05. Carry On Wayward Son
Carry on my wayward son
There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Once I rose above the noise and confusion Just to get a glimpse beyond this illusion I was soaring ever higher But I flew too high Though my eyes could see I still was a blind man Though my mind could think I still was a mad man I hear the voices when I'm dreaming I can hear them say Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more Masquerading as a man with a reason My charade is the event of the season And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know On a stormy sea of moving emotion Tossed around like a ship on the ocean I set a course for winds of fortune But I hear the voices say Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry no more, No! Carry on, you will always remember Carry on, nothing equals the splendor Now your life's no longer empty Surely heaven waits for you Carry on my wayward son There'll be peace when you are done Lay your weary head to rest Don't you cry Don't you cry no more! No more! 06. Highway Star

Over The Mountain
Over the mountain, take me across the sky
Something in my vision, something deep inside Where did I wander, where d'ya think I wandered to I've seen life's magic astral plane I travel through I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now I told them I had ridden shooting stars And said I'd show them how Over and over, always tried to get away Living in a daydream, only place I had to stay Fever of a breakout burning in me miles wide People around me talking to the walls inside I heard them tell me that this land of dreams was now I told them I had ridden shooting stars And said I'd show them how Don't need no astrology, it's inside of you and me You don't need a ticket to fly with me, I'm free, yeah Over and under, in between the ups and downs Mind on a carpet, magic ride goes 'round and round Over the mountain, kissing silver inlaid clouds Watching my body disappear into the crowd Don't need no astrology, it's inside of you and me You don't need a ticket to fly with me, I'm free, yeah 09. The Trooper
ou'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through So when you're waiting for the next attack You'd better stand, there's no turning back The bugle sounds and the charge begins But on this battlefield no one wins The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath As I plunge on into certain death The horse he sweats with fear we break to run The mighty roar of the Russian guns And as we race toward the human wall The screams of pain as my comrades fall We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground And the Russians fire another round We get so near yet so far away We won't live to fight another day We get so close near enough to fight When a Russian gets me in his sights He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow A burst of rounds take my horse below And as I lay there gazing at the sky My body's numb and my throat is dry And as I lay forgotten and alone 10. Breaking The Law
There I was completely wasting
Out of work and down All inside it's so frustrating As I drift from town to town Feel as though nobody cares If I live or die So I might as well begin To put some action in my life Breaking the law, breaking the law So much for the golden future I can't even start I've had every promise broken And there's anger in my heart You don't know what it's like You don't have a clue If you did you'd find yourselves Doing the same thing too Breaking the law, breaking the law You don't know what it's like 11. On Fire
Turn your radios on
I'll appear right there! Yes I will Turn me up real loud I'm in your, ears! Now I'm hanging ten now baby As I ride your sonic, ooh-wave (Owwwwwwww!) Good, God y'all I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm on fire Oh yeah! One time! Fire! Fire! Fire! [Guitar Solo] Ow! Woo! Ahhh! Ah-ha! Ooo! Ooo! Lay your bodies down I'm in your beds. Your beds Throw your headphones on I'm in your heads! Ah-ha! Now I'm hangin' ten now baby As I ride your sonic, oo-wave (Ahhhhhhhhhhh!) Good God y'all I'm on fire I'm on fire I'm on fire (Ow!) I'm on fire (Woo! Woo!) I'm on fire (Woo! Woo!) I'm on fire (Wooooooo!) I'm on fire I'm on fire (Wooooooo!) I'm on fire I'm on fire (Ow!) I'm on fire (Ah!) I'm on fire (Ah!) 12. Immigrant Song
Ah, ah,
We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs flow. The hammer of the gods will drive our ships to new lands, To fight the horde, singing and crying: Valhalla, I am coming! On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. Ah, ah, We come from the land of the ice and snow, From the midnight sun where the hot springs blow. How soft your fields so green, can whisper tales of gore, Of how we calmed the tides of war. We are your overlords. On we sweep with threshing oar, Our only goal will be the western shore. So now you'd better stop and rebuild all your ruins, For peace and trust can win the day despite of all your losing. 13. God
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
Hearts are weeping, soul's are keeping on ice Spirits dying, wickedness won't suffice Those who cared, they stop and stare at the wall Doing nothing, watching prisoners fall The sun is falling from the sky The earth is cold and still [Chorus] God - have mercy on us For we know not what we do God - dark and blinded, we are burning Without You - God! Yeah, oh, oh! Without conscience, without warning at all We kill the wounded, crushing those who crawl Can't we see that life, is hung by a thread In the end our flesh is buried and dead Mountains crumble, rivers swell The tide is taking all [Repeat chorus] |
