I'm running of my time, I'm running out of breath
And now it's getting ,so I can't sleep at night in the day, I feel like death I'm getting in far too deep, I feel they closing in I've got to say that I'm scared,I know they'll win Even so, I prepared [Chorus:] Do you believe, what you hear Can you believe, what you see Do you believe, what you feel Can you believe What is real ? Futureal What is real ? Futureal Wherever anyone seems to treat me like a freak It makes me see I'm only one who feels That I know that is real Sometimes it feels like a game of deadly hide and seek And when you reading this, then I will be gone Maybe then, you will see 02. The Angel And The Gambler Music & lyrics by Steve Harris
Roll of the dice
Take a spin of the wheel Out of your hands now So how do you feel but you're never gonna win You'd better go back again Do you lucky Or do you feel scared Take that luck brings And the devil may care But you're down on your luck And what the next day bring Adrift on the ocean Afloat on the daydream Or lost in a maze Or blind in the haze So what does it matter So why don't you answer So why did you send An angel to mend Best make decisions Before it's too late Take all your chances Take all hold of the reins A roll of the dice Ahead of the game again Nothing to lose But so much to gain A little danger It goes without saying But what do you care You're gonna go in the end Gate open to heaven Is ready and waiting Or straight down to hell Can go there as well I'll suffer my craving My soul not worth saving So why don't you go Just leave well alone Don't you think I'm a saviour Don't you think I could save you Don't you think I could save your life There's like a hunger That knocks on your door You've had a taste of it Still you want more You've made your mistakes Won't play it same again You have been warned But still you plunge in You play high stakes But there's nothing to win You've only one life And so many things to learn The angel on one side The devil the other Which path do you take Decisions to make Arrive on the crossroads You know where you're going And what if you wait It maybe too late Don't you think I'm a saviour Don't you think I could save you Don't you think I could save Your life 03. Lightning Strikes Twice Music & lyrics by Dave Murray, Steve Harris
I feel the breeze on my face in expectancy
Not very long before the storm reaches here Off in the distance the lightning is flashing again Feel something strong as the power draws near Is it the rolling thunder that scares you Is it the crashing of clouds that hold fear But all I know as I sit in a corner alone It takes me back to my childhood again And as I wait and look for an answer To all the things going round in my head I ask myself could it be a disaster and when It's maybe threatening to happen again As the ominous light draws near There's a lone dog howls in the park All the people hurry inside As the lightning flash lights dark The storm is nearly here Only god will know You're sitting alone you watch As the wind is blowing treetops And the swaying rusting of leaves Plenty all time to perceive As you wait for rain to fall Only god knows The whole sky glows Maybe lightning strikes twice Maybe lightning strikes Twice 04. The Clansman Music & lyrics by Steve Harris
Wake alone in the hills
With the wind in your face It feels good to be proud And be free and a race That is part of a clan And to live on highlands And the air that you breathe So pure and so clean When alone on the hills With the wind in your hair With a longing to feel Just to be free It is right to believe In the need to be free It's a time when you die And without asking why Can't you see what they do They are grinding us down They are taking our land That belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream Just a want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman...Freedom It's a time wrough with fear It's a land wrough with change Ancestors could hear What is happening now They would turn in their graves They would all be ashamed That the land of the free Has been written in chains And I know what I want When is timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman And I swear to defend And we'll fight to the end And I swear that I'll never Be taken alive And I know that we'll stand And we'll fight for our land And I swear that my bairns Will be born free And I know what I want When is timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman... Freedom No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We've the land of the free Freedom It's a time wrough with fear It's a land wrough with change Ancestors could hear What is happening now They would turn in their graves They would all be ashamed That the land of the free Has been written in chains And I know what I want When is timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman... Freedom 05. When Two Worlds Collide Music & lyrics by Blaze Bayley, Dave Murray, Steve Harris
My telescope looks out
Into the stars tonight A little speck of light Seems twice the size tonight The calculations are so fine Can it be growing all the time? Now I can't believe it's true And I don't know what to do For the hundredth time I check the declination Now the fear starts to grow Even my computer shows There are no errors in the calculations Now it's happened take no other view Collusion course, you must believe it's true Now there's nothing left that we can do When Two Worlds collide The anger and the pain Of all those who remain Two Worlds collide Who will be left alive No place to hide When Two Worlds collide The anger, the pain Of those who remain When Two Worlds collide So who will survive There's no place to hide When two worlds collide Now it's happened take no other view Collusion course, you must believe it's true Now there's nothing left that we can do When Two Worlds collide The anger,the pain Of all those who remain Two Worlds collide Who will be left alive No place to hide There's no place to hide When Two Worlds collide 06. The Educated Fool Music & lyrics by Steve Harris
I am an educated fool
So I don't know what it is I'm supposed to do About this awkward situation That's been forced down right upon me As I'm walking down into On my own into the Valley of life Got a lifetime of experience Yeah I've got so much to give Open the page at chapter one Could this just be that life's just begun Forever within your darker thoughts Reflecting on everything you've been taught Never felt this way before Seems that somebody's just opened the door To the book of life ...or is it death Is there ever anyway out Someone's looking down on me To the very inner core of my soul They won't tell me what they see But I really want to know I want to leave my life on my own I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire I want to live out all my desires I want to go and see the fire burn I want to see and feel my world turn I want to know what more there's to learn I want to pass the point of no return Do you really wanna be Just another statistic or feel That you really should aspire That you really do deserve more Do you ever really feel That you have so much potential inside What you really have to give Could be realized so much more I want to leave my life on my own I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire I want to live out all my desires I want to go and see the fire burn I want to see and feel my world turn I want to know what more there's to learn I want to pass the point of no return Time will flow And I will follow Time will go But I will follow I want to feel what life's like respond I want to meet my father beyound I want to walk right into the light I want to feel no fear but delight I want to leave my life on my own I want to lift the unturned stone I want to walk right into the fire I want to live out all my desires Time will flow And I will follow Time will go But I will follow 07. Don't Look To Th Eyes Of A Stranger Music & lyrics by Steve Harris
Don't look to the eyes of a stranger
Don't look through the eyes of a fool Don't look to the eyes of a stranger Somebody's watching when the light goes down Don't look to the eyes of a stranger Don't look through the eyes of a fool Don't look to the eyes of a stranger Somebody's watching when the night comes down Feel someone's watching you You gotta get away It is the first time You've ever felt this scared Feel the adrenalin pump Your heart begins to race Begin to run now The sweat runs down your face Don't know which way to run You'd better hide yourself He's getting closer now You'd better improvise Just hope you never reach The point of no return Could be the last time You see the light of day Don't look to the eyes of a stranger Don't look through the eyes of a fool Don't look to the eyes of a stranger Somebody's watching when the night comes down Don't look to the eyes of a stranger Don't look through the eyes of a fool Don't look to the eyes of a stranger Somebody's watching when the light goes down 08. Como Estais Amigo Music & lyrics by Blaze Bayley, Janick Gers
Como esta amigo
For the death of those we don't know Shall we kneel and say a prayer They will never know we care Shall we keep the fires burning Shall we keep the flames alight Should we try to remember What is wrong and what is right No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears If we do forget them and The sacrifice they made Will the wickedness and sadness Come to visit us again Shall we dance a dance in sunlight Shall we drink a wine of peace Shall our tears be of joy Shall we keep at bay the beast No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears Inside the scream is silent Inside it must remain No victory and no vanquishment Only horror, only pain No more tears, no more tears If we live for a hundred years Amigos no more tears |
