Far from paradise
Where the winds of war Are blowing freely In my tired eyes Run the bloody hosts Of Ares' slaughter Face to face with fear and death and hate Time to say goodbye draw your last breath For I conquer When I die In your arms One child born To carry on Darling don't delay For they're rushing From a thousand thrones now Cry another day When the memory Brings you back the vision Tonight I die but my life is in you On my way but I want to touch you, want to love you When I die In your arms One child born To carry on One nation, one kingdom, one child survives One nation, one kingdom, one child survives I'll meet you again through the eyes of our son Remember to tell him the price we had to pay And cry for Pompeii cry for pompeii! When I die In your arms One child born To carry on One nation, one kingdom, one child survives One nation, one kingdom, one child survives I'll meet you again through the eyes of our son Remember to tell him the price we had to pay And cry for Pompeii cry for pompeii! I'll meet you again through the eyes of our son I'll return Open the gates, I'm coming home tonight Black tears will fall and the flames will crack the sky Oh I see you cry I'm calling you open I'm coming home. 02. Let It Roar Music by David DeFeis, Edward Pursino Lyrics by David DeFeis
Maching to distant shores
Killing for freedom's gain My sword, hands held high Together we stem the tide And Let it roar let the lion in you raise its head and roar Let it roar let the lion in you come right out and roar Burning the street's on fire Pounding, the blood runs red In power we call to arms Rising a million strong Let it roar let the lion in you raise its head and roar Let it roar let the lion in you come right out and roar Cry out, life's a struggle but it's worth the price With fists of fire we can melt the ice Behold the king who wears the crown of hate I think we're gonna break him! Listen, the devil won't be coming here today Even death can take an holiday Shout it loud 'cross the land Freedom is alive now! Roar!!! Let it roar let the lion in you raise its head and roar Let it roar let the lion in you come right out and roar Roar, roar, roar together Roar, roar, roar I can't hear ya Roar, roar, roar let it Roar! 03. Lion In Winter Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Roaring against the dying light
The lion stands alone Caught in the spell of winter dreams He'll not give up his throne Chain the earth and chain the sun Break the hourglass Make the stars fall into line Suspend the end of time No, not tonight I'll not give in without a fight And I'll rage against this wind For even a moment more of the day I will. Run proud, run free Never set the sun on me Race hard play mean Anger's the symphony of screams A thousand roses on the hill A thousand lips to taste The darkness breathes a hateful sigh Goes forth to murder dreams Voices crying cold and dark My name is in the sky Shadows lenghten, sun sinks low The trees are frozen gold I won't give in! 04. Perfect Mansions (Mountains Of The Sun) Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
The day is over, the setting of the sun
My wounds are many, evening has begun A mist is falling before my eyes My soul is free now to shadow forth and rise To tread the paths that none has seen The Mystic Rose, the Empyrean Gone forever my days of valor I will meet you in the sun I will stay tonight in your perfect mansions Where the silver horses run I will rest my head in fields of glory once more In the palace of the sky The gods are mighty, children of the brave Lord Poseidon, a message on the waves The age is passing, the white ship rides A voice is calling way beyond the skies Tell her that you saw me stand proud And you look into my eyes, no fear was waiting Tell her that her name was on my lips when I died I will meet her in the sun I will stay tonight in your perfect mansions Where the silver horses run I will rest my head in fields of glory once more In the palace of the sky Death makes us innocent, all truths remain The white ship is summoning, ride the winds of the sky! I will stay tonight in your perfect mansions Where the silver horses run I will rest my head in fields of glory once more In the palace of the sky We rise above the world and we soar above the waves With the last of all my breath I slew the best of seven wraiths Fortune is now waiting like a vulture in the sky Tears of blood are falling as the god of winter dies And now we ride silver horses of night Remember I'll meet you again in the sun On holy, holy ground We ride. 05. Coils Of The Serpent Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
Anger, fury and hatred boil within me.
Woe to see them enjoy this Paradise, while I'm resigned to hell! My cunning will prevail and doubt shall be their undoing! What reason, what fear provokes this ban? Knowledge forbidden? Why envy you this? Is it a sin to know, can it be death to taste? Is ignorance your creator's wish for you, Or is blind obedience a proof of your faith? Take from the tree this golden fruit, be one with the gods! I tell you this freely with love in my heart. Come your beauty has earned this. 06. On The Wings Of The Night Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
When the dark is complete
And the day goes to sleep That's when I come alive Faster than shadows On the wings of the night I'll be by your side And my soul spreads wide its raven wings And I cover you tonight Oh you won't need no other I'm your dangerous lover, oh babe you know it's true I wanna feel you in the dark I wanna kiss your body I wanna make you mine! Ride on the wings of the night You know you want to Ride on the wings of the night You're old enough to Ride on the wings of the night I'm coming for you And they tell you I'm wild That I'm the devil's child I'll only make you cry They say you're too young to feel They say my love's a lie But they don't know what it does to me Just to have you in my arms I'll introduce you to life's forbidden delights I'll make you a woman of you We Ride! Midnight, hearts collide Naked alone, your body's mine Ooh babe, don't say no. Tonight my virgin child come I wanna feel you in the dark. 07. Seventeen Music by David DeFeis, Edward Pursino Lyrics by David DeFeis
Little Janey's got a crazy walk
Rock and roller, leather vixen talk She moves so fine Belladonna with an angel heart Topless dancer, Paris pearls She's hot! Underneath the lights I wanna feel your body burnin' all night long I want to taste the magic hidden in your charms Sweet seventeen age of consent Seventeen age of consent She's seventeen and tight, ah yeah look out Makin' love under the summer night Bodies sweating into liquid life Little girl sighs Slidin' sweeter down her velvet thighs Leopard movement, animal surprise Sweet, sweet cries Slide on, champagne siren, ah it's only sweeter babe. 08. Tragedy Music by David DeFeis, Edward Pursino Lyrics by David DeFeis
Who's to say, who is to blame
Who killed our love I can see the lines are drawn Broken hearts and broken dreams Drifting worlds apart The lies are old, the scars are warm I don't wanna lose your love now babe Cause I feel that's when I'm with you it's alright Then I fall for your touch Tragedy a broken love Fallen dreams are on the ground Tragedy our love is pain, oh babe our love is pain When you make love do you think of Does he looks like me, does he do the things I do A shattered glass, a broken rose Blood runs from my soul Still you wound but never slay It's so lonely, so lonely It's killing me babe Everyday Nothing left Nothing left at all to say. 09. Stay On Top Music & lyrics by Tom Jackson
Get outta my way!
Everybody got somebody Try to make ya feel real bad Ain't noone of their business Talkin' behind your back Be strong in your self Stand up, walk away Nobody gives a damn For a single thing you say You got to Stay on top never go under Lightning strikes before you hear the thunder Stay on top never go under Hold on tight here comes that thunder Hide money in your pockets Be nobody's fool Always thinking I'm number one That's my golden rule Take care of business Go for it with the best Be strong enough to take it Ain't no need to rest Bad times make you cry But the good times make you cry I can't stand it, I can't stand it, no, no I can't stand it, I can't stand it no more I can't stand it, I can't stand it no I can't stand it, no more! Somebody, everybody, Try to make ya feel real bad Ain't nobody's business Talkin' behind your back Be strong in yourself Stand up, walk away Nobody's gonna listen to single word you say Stay on top! 10. Chains Of Fire Music by David DeFeis, Edward Pursino Lyrics by David DeFeis
Eyes of fire, lips of scarlet flame
Woman of darkness and heat you can't be tamed Everything you do just turns me on Fatal beauty innocence Locked in Ecstasy. Chains of fire Chains of fire I can't get enough of your sweet charms Drunk on love you tremble in my arms A heated look of sensuality Taste of heaven on your skin Burn in love with me. Chains of fire I'm a prisoner of desire woman Chains of fire the night's alive, the dark is burning Chains of fire we're bound by love my wanton child Chains of fire burn in love with me Chains of fire, chains of fire Let me feel, all your warmth child Let me in babe, oh Chains of fire! 11. Desert Plains Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
Fool moon is rising, the sky is black
I heed your call, I'm coming back The road is straight cast, wind's in my eyes The engine roars between my thighs From desrt plains I'll bring you love From desert plains I'll bring you love Wild mountain thunder echoes my quest My body aches but I'll not rest Quartz light to guide me 'till sunset leaves My passion screams my heart it bleeds black blood From desrt plains I'll bring you love From desert plains I'll bring you love Oh feel the hunger Then in the distance I see you stand On the horizon raise your hand In burning rubber I end my quest You fall into my arms at last From desrt plains I'll bring you love From desert plains I'll bring you love On the wings of The Raven, On The Wings Of The Night I Will Come For You.. you, you and only you! 12. Cry Forever Music & lyrics by David DeFeis
I should've known better than to look in your eyes
Cause that's what got me thinking of the love we had shared Your spell lives on forever Oh, you captured my heart How could I forget you, or the love we had made Seems like only yesterday, when I held you in my arms And you would softly whisper "I'll never leave" Cry forever cry for the dreams we had Where did our love go, do you ever think of me? Cry forever cry for the dreams we'll never share You made me love you, hen you turned your back upon me now Oh, I remember lying side by side Your heart gently beating, softly with mine Your face just like an angel, smiling up at me The hunger and the passion, when we'd set our love free Now the clock is slowly ticking in this empty room The images are haunting like a candle through the gloom Cry forever. I dreamed about you last night and the vision was so clear Of you and I together with no pain, lies or tears I woke up late this morning, with you still on my mind I could swear that you were with me, I was back there in time Pictures in the night, can't sustain the light of day I need someone to hold me, who'll never fade away Cry forever. Do you ever think of me at all? 13. We Are Eternal Music by David DeFeis, Edward Pursino Lyrics by David DeFeis
The sun will rise
Our golden prize No shadow fall Upon our lives The sands of time Won't fall for us No ash to ash, no dust to dust Eternal summer waits for us Our bodies bronze, we thirst, we lust The changes of the years, won't touch us- no! We are eternal We are young, we are strong We are immortal, the life force is in our hands On we go through seas of time We hear the voive, we drink the wine I build, you burn, then one forgets The evils of the innocent A face of wonder, a heart will cry The stain of death upon her eyes A moment caught in time I'm alive! We are eternal We are young, we are strong We are immortal, the life force is in our hands We are eternal We are immortal We are the flame that never dies! We are eternal We are immortal We'll never die! 14. Screaming For Vengeance Music & lyrics by Rob Halford, K.K. Downing, Glenn Tipton
Hey listen don't you let them get your mind
Fill your brain with orders and that's not right. They're playing at a game that draws you closer Till you're living in a world that's ruled by fear. Always takin' baby out that's o.k. What they're givin' maybe it's out of phase with me. Told you one you're never gonna win the race Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face. We are screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place. Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace. Tie a blindfold all around your head Spin you 'round in the torture before the dread. And then you're pushed and shoved into every corner Then they lead you out into the final slaughter. As the sweat is runnin' down your neck All your praying for's to stop your body breakin' up. Oh your heart is pumpin' gonna soon explode Got to fight the horror of this mental load. So you wait it out and bide your time Rip off that straight jacket gotta break that line. Everyone who wins in the great escape Leaves a thousand more who suffer in their wake. I don't talk about it but that's alright Table's turned now there's a revenge in sight. If it takes forever babe I tell ya I can wait Send them screaming back through their hell's own gate. |
