On the day that the world changed for ever
No horses came to carry me away On the brightest of days we saw them falling The rumbling sound still echoes round the world So we cry out, scream out, still we the alone So we cry out, scream out, who will hear the call So we cry out, scream out Down on the streets, they're screaming DAMNATION Down on the streets, they're screaming WAR NATION On the day that your world changed forever Did you think of her or did you pay no mind? On the darkest of days as tears are falling Can you hear her calling from another world So we cry out, scream out, still we die alone So we cry out, scream out, who will hear the call So we cry out, scream out Down on the streets, they're screaming DAMNATION Down on the streets, they're screaming WAR NATION If we lose the battle nothing will be settled If we lose the war Down on the streets, they're screaming DAMNATION Down on the streets, they're screaming WAR NATION On the day that my life came and ended The battle lost and I was not afraid When the time came I knew my soul would wander Everything around me's to be praised 02. Song Of The Dead
There is darkness, there are shadows, there are voices that echo below
There is terror, there is anger that follows where ever we go You can't hide away ah from the wickedness You can't hide away here come the devil to steal your soul I hear voices that sing me the SONG OF THE DEAD I hear them calling me on We are empty, we are foolish, we try but we can't understand When the evil comes a calling we should reach out with our hands You can't hide away ah from the wickedness You can't hide away here come the devil to steal your soul There are voices that sing me the SONG OF THE DEAD I hear them calling me on When you can cry your heart will feel the world come crawling through your mind When you can dream the nights will be easier easier for you and for me (Oh my darling I must tell you, today I must go off to war Don't be frightened don't be lonely, I promise to one day come home) Don't ride your tears, just call on the devil to sooth your soul Don't ride your fears 03. Hammer And Nails
Here stands before you a broken man
Wild creature of the night He stand accused of things he may not have done is he guilty he might be but now we will learn. You can always say your prayers... Guilty You fall on your knees and pray.. Mercy I will wash my hands of you there's nothing more that I can do Bring me Nails bring me the cross bring me the Crown of Thorns x 2 And so the righteous will now be damned Pray mercy on our souls Now and forever the story told was he guilty he must be well never know You can always say your prayers. Guilty You fall on your knees and pray. Mercy Bring me nails bring me the cross bring me the crown of thorns x 2 Here stands before you the risen man Lost preacher of the light And who will follow forever more? A Saviour he must be look at his hands You can always say your prayers... Guilty You fall on your knees and pray... Mercy Glory is as glory does Shine mercy from the lord above Bring me Nails bring me the cross bring me the Crown of Thorns 04. Don't Dream In The Dark
Careful what you wish for coz I know
That sometime maybe dreams come true Even in the darkest days of life They're maybe not for you Listen to your heartbeat When you know your time has come, everything comes into view Yeah eh! Reach up before you fall It's such a long way Don't dream in the dark I have heard the voices in the sleeping hours But now that I'm awake I can feel the dark clouds as they follow me and I will face this empty night alone When the words they come out wrong, tears will mean nothing at all If you can not sing that song, remember its meaning Don't dream in the dark Now the rainbow's ended And the dark clouds are passing overhead Somewhere in this morning When the blacks clouds re-appear, I am not filled with dread I stare at the morning light and scream, "I will be lonely no more" The world we had is gone, time to move on and on and on... 05. Grace Of God
There but for the Grace of God go I, I watch the cities burning
There but for the Grace of God go I And as we walk these hallowed halls, the day we all went off to war To save the world and fight for freedom The tears were in our mothers' eyes, she prayed that we'd come back alive Not give our lives for their salvation Show me the way to win this fight, Oh Lord So I do not give up my life There but for the Grace of God go I, I watch the cities burning There but for the Grace of God go I And as we stand upon the shore the wave are crashing loud and roar "Welcome to your nightmare" We see the burning Holy Cross and all the Templar's we have lost No mercy for the damned today Show me the way to win this fight, My God Show us the power, show us your might There but for the Grace of God go I, I watch the cities burning There but for the Grace of God go I There but for the Grace of God go I, I watch the cities burning There but for the Grace of God go I Show me the way to get back home Show us the good that we have done There but for the Grace of God go I, I watch the cities burning There but for the Grace of God go I 06. Dreamer
Why can't it wait until morning
Why can't it wait until day All the love we have, slowly slips away As that I have left is sorrow I can hear the sounds of the windmills going round They're in my mind, in my mind You and I would ride the rainbow till the end of time I would crossed a million miles to see you smile Now I don't understand Give me one good reason to not let go One good reason to stay One good reason to not let go One good reason not to turn away Why can't it wait until morning I can hear the sounds of the windmills going round They're in my head, I would crossed a million miles to see you smile Now I don't understand Give me one good reason to not let go One good reason to stay One good reason to not let go One good reason not to turn away... Why can't it wait until morning Why can't it wait until day I still hear the sounds of the windmills going round They're in my mind You and I would ride the rainbow til the end of time 07. Justice For All
Justice for all, Justice for Kings
Justice from God, see what that brings you One thousand deaths a thousand warrior souls One thousand deaths? Here's a thousand more Justice for all, Justice for me Justice for all, Justice for the young and the free One thousand loves a thousand lovers more A thousand less here's a thousand more It's a war without end we fight with our God on our side It's a war without end we fight we believe we are right To bring Justice for all Justice for all Justice for all, Justice for Justice for all, Justice for It's a war without end we fight with our God on our side It's a war without end we fight we believe we are right To bring Justice for all 08. Wings Of Heaven
If you could see behind the mask I'm wearing
If you could put on different clothes If you can hear the words I speak are lies Don't say coz no one knows There is a name and it is born in thunder It's a name you dare not speak So when your demons come to drag you under I'll be there to help you sleep So when you pray to your God and the Fallen Angels So when you pray to your God does he answer? Does he care? So when you pray to your God all is revealed Don't fly on the Wings of heaven Don't fly you will fall down if you try Don't fly on the Wings of heaven Don't try it will bring you to your knees If you could celebrate that one sweet vision If you could celebrate at all If you could ask me only one more question Ask now before I go Look in my eyes and I can make you tremble I am a nightmare I am here And when you cry it only makes me stronger I feed off all your hopes and dreams If you could build the many burning bridges If you could change your yesterdays Could you imagine all your new tomorrows Would be much better than today 10. Hard Road
