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
