Saxon - Sacrifice lyrics



Tracks



01. Procession

[Instrumental]

02. Sacrifice

Hail to the gods, the bringers of fortune
Worship the sun, the giver of life
Follow the steps that lead you to heaven
Sacrifice waits for your beating heart

Blood on stone
Holy priest
No escape
No release
SACRIFICE...SACRIFICE

Enter the temple, the altar of stone
Appeasing the gods, you give up your life
Eyes open wide, the priest stands above you
Held in his hands, your still beating heart

Blood on stone
Holy priest
No escape
No release
SACRIFICE...SACRIFICE

Civilization lost in the jungle
Forgotten in time, the cities of gold
Carved in stone, the stories before you
When sacrifice claimed the still beating heart

Blood on stone
Holy priest
No escape
No release
SACRIFICE...SACRIFICE

03. Made In Belfast

We're a hundred thousand strong
Better there are none
At building mighty monarchs of the sea

We bend the heavy steel
Lay the massive keel
The greatest ships the world has ever seen

Pulling all together boys
Slaving for the bosses, boys
Got to meet the deadline now
Pulling all together boys
Made in Belfast
Made in Belfast

Bring the rivets, glowing white
Hammered in till they're tight
Inch by inch, she rises from the quay

Night and day, we toil and sweat
Glad to work, free from debt
Side by side, we forge this legacy

Pulling all together boys
Slaving for the bosses, boys
Got to meet the deadline now
Pulling all together boys
Made in Belfast
Made in Belfast

Wood and steel, gilt and glass
Everything was made first class
Nothing spared, the finest in the world

We see them now in picture books
Built by you on Belfast docks
The greatest ships the world has ever seen

Pulling all together boys
Slaving for the bosses, boys
Got to meet the deadline now
Pulling all together boys
Made in Belfast
Made in Belfast

04. Warriors Of The Road

Five red lights, nerves of steel
Engines hot, grip the wheel
Lights go out, motors roar
Ram the pedal to the floor
Pushing hard, don't look back
Try to focus on the track

Warriors of the road
Born to fight and win
Warriors of the road
Let battle now begin

Scream into the first chicane
Show no fear, deadly game
Find the pace, your only chance
Feel the tires skip and dance
You've got to keep the pressure on
One mistake, the race is gone

Warriors of the road
Born to fight and win
Warriors of the road
Let battle now begin

Race towards the finish line
Final lap, fastest time
Blasting down the winning straight
Checkered flag, yours to take
Standing on the podium
Number one, job is done

Warriors of the road
Born to fight and win
Warriors of the road
Let battle now begin

05. Guardians Of The Tomb

Two thousand years in time
The first of his kind
He dreams and plans of immortality

A dynasty of jade
An empire he has made
All the land beneath the setting sun

You wake once more to rise again
Guardians of the tomb
You live once more to fight again
Guardians of the tomb
Guardians of the tomb

His tomb will lay beneath the ground
Forces will be gathered 'round
To fight his battles far beyond the grave

A mighty army made of clay
Sleeps in death to rise again
Hidden just below the ancient soil

You wake once more to rise again
Guardians of the tomb
You live once more to fight again
Guardians of the tomb
Guardians of the tomb

Through the years, the memories fade
Forgotten now inside his grave
The first in line, an empire lost in time

Until a farmer breaks the seal
The terracotta tomb revealed
To rise again for all the world to see

You wake once more to rise again
Guardians of the tomb
You live once more to fight again
Guardians of the tomb
Guardians of the tomb

06. Stand Up And Fight

If you wanna make a life playing in a rock and roll band
You've got to take a chance and don't look back
There ain't no easy way, you can't fake it
You've got to be yourself, don't follow the pack
When it seems you'll never get a break
You've got to make a vow to keep the faith

You got to fight
For all that you believe in
You've got to fight
It's you against the world
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight

If you're looking for the light of inspiration
Waiting for your story to be told
When music is your life and your vocation
You've got to give your soul to rock and roll
When things around you start to fall apart
Don't forget what drove you from the start

You got to fight
For all that you believe in
You've got to fight
It's you against the world
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight

It's never easy living on the breadline
When every day you're following your dream
If you catch the rising star, you might make it
But nothing's ever as easy as it seems
When it seems you'll never get a break
You've got to make a vow to keep the faith

You got to fight
For all that you believe in
You've got to fight
It's you against the world
Stand up and fight
Stand up and fight

07. Walking The Steel

Rising from the ashes
Floor by floor
Reaching up into the sky
Where the eagles soar

The city sleeps, life goes on
Hope is still alive
Born again, the towers rise
Above the New York skies

Rising from the ashes
For all the world to see

Walking the steel
Build them high
Walking the steel
You touch the sky

A thousand lights are blazing
Into the night
Marching on around the clock
Nothing stops the fight

High above the city
The work goes on and on
Racing to the heavens
Until the job is done

Rising from the ashes
For all the world to see

Walking the steel
Build them high
Walking the steel
You touch the sky

Remember the heroes
Remember them all...

Walking the steel
Build them high
Walking the steel
You touch the sky

Rising like the phoenix
Towards the sky
See the mighty towers
Reaching high

Make them strong, work the steel
Build them to survive
Born again the twins will stand
Hope will never die

Rising from the ashes
For all the world to see

Walking the steel
Build them high
Walking the steel
You touch the sky

08. Night Of The Wolf

Far beyond the forest in a land of ice and snow
When the full moon rises and shadows start to grow
When man becomes the hunted, screaming in the night
On your knees and pray to God to keep the beasts from sight

Night of the wolf
Hear them calling
Night of the wolf
Howling at the moon

The hounds of hell are calling, hunting in the pack
Keep the fires burning, never turn your back
Are they in the darkness, watching in the night
Waiting for a weakness before they make a strike

Night of the wolf
Hear them calling
Night of the wolf
Howling at the moon

They're fighting for survival, it's the only thing they know
Far beyond the forest in the land of ice and snow

Far beyond the forest in a land of ice and snow
When the full moon rises and shadows start to grow
Are they in the darkness, watching in the night
On your knees and pray to God to keep the wolves from sight

Night of the wolf
Hear them calling
Night of the wolf
Howling at the moon

09. Wheels Of Terror

We take no prisoners, there's no retreat
Our only purpose is your defeat
The wheels of death keep turning
Leave your cities burning
There's nothing you can do
To stop them breaking through

Wheels of terror
Crushing all before
Wheels of terror
Battle tanks of war

Blitzkrieg coming, this is the end
High explosive, your will we bend
Smashing your defenses down
Making rubble of your town
Moving on relentlessly
Only death will set you free

Wheels of terror
Crushing all before
Wheels of terror
Battle tanks of war

Target in our sights, armor piercing shell
There's no use running from the raining hell
Wheels of death keep turning
Leave your city burning
There's nothing you can do
To stop us breaking through

Wheels of terror
Crushing all before
Wheels of terror
Battle tanks of war

10. Standing In A Queue

Flying in from Dallas
Home to see my girl
I got my backs, I'm ready to rock
I've been around the world

As I came around the corner
The chaos came in view
A thousand silent people
Waiting in the queue

There's got to be a better way to get me out of here...

I'm standing in a queue
I don't know what to do
I haven't got a clue
Why I'm standing in a queue

Driving through the country side
Taking in the view
I stopped to take a little break
Get myself some food

Pulled into the truck stop
I didn't have a clue
Two thousand other people
Waiting in the queue

There's got to be a better way to get me out us here...

We're standing in a queue
We don't know what to do
We're just trying to make it through
We're just standing in a queue

It shouldn't be so difficult
To find a better way
I can think of better things to do
Than standing here all day

Someone needs to get a grip
We need another plan
Let's raise our voices up on high
And stick it to the man

There's got to be a better way to make it out of here....

I'm standing in a queue
I don't know what to do
We're trying to make it through
Standing in a queue
Trying to get to you
Standing in a queue

11. Luck Of The Draw

You want the good life you want it all
Just roll the dice and let them fall
You play the game and try to win
Just spin the wheel your life begins

Life´s not easy can´t be denied
Just get them bougth and join the ride

The luck of the draw you win or you lose
We´ve all got a chance

No golden goose no wishing well
What´s on the cards no one can tell

You want the good life you gotta get it all

Life´s not easy can´t be denied
Just get them bougth and join the ride

The luck of the draw we win or we lose
We´ve all got a choice there´s nothing to lose
The luck of the draw

It´s just the luck of the draw luck of the draw
I´m rollin´ the dice you´re playin´ the game
