Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you
He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do Your tongue has frozen now you've got something to say The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death Hello to eternity and live for every breath Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come The ferryman wants his money you ain't going to give it back He can push his own boat as you set up off the track Nothing you can contemplate will ever be the same Every second is a new spark, sets the universe aflame You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain The shadow of the Wicker Man is rising up again Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come Your time will come, your time will come 02. Ghost Of The Navigator Music & lyrics by Bruce Dickinson, Janick Gers, Steve Harris
I have sailed to many lands, now I make my final journey
On the bow I stand, west is where I go Through the night I plough, still my heart, calculate and pray As the compass swings, my will is strong, I will not be led astray Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, but I know, but I know I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, navigator's son, Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so, Nothing's real until you feel I steer between the crashing rocks, the sirens call my name Lash my hands onto the helm, blood surging with the strain I will not fail now as sunrise comes the darkness left behind For eternity I follow on there is no other way Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun But I know, I know I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, Navigator's son Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so Nothing's real until you feel I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost As they sail into the sunset they'll count the cost As their skeletons accusing emerge from the sea The sirens of the rocks, they beckon me Take my heart and set it free, carried forward by the waves Nowhere left to run, Navigator's son Chasing rainbows all my days Where I go I do not know, I only know the place I've been Dreams they come and go, ever shall be so Nothing's real until you feel 03. Brave New World Music & lyrics by Bruce Dickinson, Dave Murray, Steve Harris
Dying swans twisted wings, beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life, in this garden of fear I have seen many things, in a lifetime alone Mother love is no more, bring this savage back home Wilderness house of pain, makes no sense of it all Close this mind dull this brain, Messiah before his fall What you see is not real, those who know will not tell All is lost sold your souls to this brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world Dragon kings dying queens, where is salvation now Lost my life lost my dreams, rip the bones from my flesh Silent screams laughing here, dying to tell you the truth You are planned and you are damned in this brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world A brave new world, in a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world In a brave new world, a brave new world Dying swans twisted wings, bring this savage back home 04. Blood Brothers Music & lyrics by Steve Harris
And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life
What do you think you'd expect you would see? Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life And in the river reflections of me Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see And in a movement he beckons to me And in a moment the memories are all that remain And all the wounds are reopening again We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers And as you look all around at the world in dismay What do you see, do you think we have learned Not if you're taking a look at the war-torn affray Out in the streets where the babies are burned We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers There are time when I feel I'm afraid for the world There are times I'm ashamed of us all When you're floating on all the emotion you feel And reflecting the good and the bad Will we ever know what the answer to life really is? Can you really tell me what life is? Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you Could be swept away by fate's own hand We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers When you think that we've used all our chances And the chance to make everything right Keep on making the same old mistakes Makes untipping the balance so easy When we're living our lives on the edge Say a prayer on the book of the dead We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers We're blood brothers, we're blood brothers And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life.... 05. The Mercenary Music & lyrics by Janick Gers, Steve Harris
Pay to kill, die to lose, hunted, hunter which are you
Diablo come again to make trophies out of men Lose your skin, lose your skull, one by one the sack is full In the heat dehydrate, know which breath will be your last Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, you've got to kill to stay alive Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, you've got to kill to stay alive Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Human heart, human mind, intellect intertwined Focus sharp in the night, watch the jungle burning bright Toe to toe throw the line, everyone's caught hand tied Iron will iron fist, how could it have come to this? Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, you've got to kill to stay live Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide, you've got to kill to stay alive Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain Show them no fear, show them no pain 06. Dream Of Mirrors Music & lyrics by Janick Gers, Steve Harris
Have you ever felt the future is the past, but you don't know how...?
A reflected dream of a captured time, is it really now, is it really happening? Don't know why I feel this way, have I dreamt this time, this place? Something vivid comes again into my mind And I think I've seen your face, seen this room, been in this place Something vivid comes again into my mind All my hopes and expectations, looking for an explanation Have I found my destination? I just can't take no more The dream is true, the dream is true The dream is true, the dream is true Think I've heard your voice before, think I've said these words before Something makes me feel I just might lose my mind Am I still inside my dream? Is this a new reality Something makes me feel that I have lost my mind All my hopes and expectations, looking for an explanation Coming to the realization that I can't see for sure I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, please save me from myself The dream is true, the dream is true The dream is true, the dream is true I get up put on the light, dreading the oncoming night Scared to fall asleep and dream the dream again Nothing that I contemplate, nothing that I can compare To letting loose the demons deep inside my head Dread to think what might be stirring, that my dream is reoccurring Got to keep away from drifting, saving me from myself I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself Lost in a dream of mirrors, lost in a paradox Lost and time is spinning, lost a nightmare I retrace Lost a hell that I revisit, lost another time and place Lost a parallel existence, lost a nightmare I retrace I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself I only dream in black and white, I only dream cause I'm alive I only dream in black and white, to save me from myself The dream is true, the dream is true The dream is true, the dream is true 07. The Fallen Angel Music & lyrics by Adrian Smith, Steve Harris
Azazel is beside you and he's playing the game
Demons are inside you and they're making their play Watching and they're hiding as they wait for the time For a devil to get ready and take over your mind You and only god would know what could be done You and only god will know I am the only one You and only god would know what could be done You and only god will know I am the chosen one Could it be it's the end of our world? All the things that we cherish and love Nothing left but to face this all on my own Cause I am the chosen one Could it be it's the end of our world? All the things that we cherish and love Nothing left but to face this all on my own Cause I am the chosen one Beaten fallen angel but I've risen again And the power is inside me, I've decided to pray As I wait for Armageddon and it's coming my way It's an honour to be chosen and I wait for the day You and only god would know what could be done You and only god will know I am the only one You and only god would know what could be done You and only god will know that I am the chosen one Could it be it's the end of my world? All the things that we cherish and love Nothing left but to face all this on my own Cause I am the chosen one Could it be it's the end of our world? All the things that we cherish and love Nothing left but to face this all on my own Cause I am the chosen one Could it be it's the end of our world? All the things that we cherish and love Nothing left but to face this all on my own Cause I am the chosen one Could it be it's the end of our world? All the things that we cherish and love Nothing left but to face this all on my own Cause I am the chosen one 08. The Nomad Music & lyrics by Dave Murray, Steve Harris
Like a mirage riding on the desert sand
Like a vision floating with the desert winds Know the secret of the ancient desert lands Your are the keeper of the mystery in your hands Nomad, rider of the ancient east Nomad, rider that men know the least Nomad, where you come from no one knows Nomad, where you go to no one tells Undercover of the veil of your disguise The men that fear you are the ones that you despise No one's certain what you future will behold You're a legend you own story will be told Nomad, rider of the ancient east Nomad, rider that men know the least Nomad, where you come from no one knows Nomad, where you go to no one tells No one dares to even look or glance your way Your reputation goes before you they all say Like a spirit that can disappear at will Many claim of things but no one's seen you kill Nomad, you're the rider so mysterious Nomad, you're the spirit that men fear in us Nomad, you're the rider of the desert sands No man's ever understood your genius Those who see you in horizon desert sun Those who fear your reputation hide or run You send before you a mystique that's all your own Your silhouette is like a statue carved in stone Nomad, you're the rider so mysterious Nomad, you're the spirit that men fear in us Nomad, you're the rider of the desert sands No man ever understood your genius Legend has it that you speak an ancient tongue But no one's spoke to you and lived to tell the tale Some may say that you have killed a hundred men Others say that you have died and live again Nomad, you're the rider so mysterious Nomad, you're the spirit that men fear in us Nomad, you're the rider of the desert sands No man ever understood your genius 09. Out Of The Silent Planet Music & lyrics by Bruce Dickinson, Janick Gers, Steve Harris
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are
Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are Withered hands, withered bodies begging for salvation Deserted by the hand of gods of their own creation Nations cry underneath decaying skies above You are guilty, the punishment is death for all who live The punishment is death for all who live Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation The killing fields, the grinding wheels crushed by equilibrium Separate lives no more disguise, no more second chances Haggard wisdom spitting out the bitter taste of hate I accuse you before you know the crime it's all too late Before you know the crime it's all too late Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation Out of the silent planet, dreams of desolation Out of the silent planet, Come the demons of creation Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are Out of the silent planet, out of the silent planet we are 10. The Thin Line Between Love And Hate Music & lyrics by Dave Murray, Steve Harris
When a person turns to wrong, is it a want to be, belong?
Part of things at any cost, at what price a life is lost At what point do we begin, fighter spirit a will to win But what makes a man decide, take the wrong or righteous road There's a thin line between love and hate Wider divide that you can see between good and bad There's a grey place between black and white But everyone does have the right to choose the path that he takes We all like to put the blame on society these days But what kind of good or bad a new generation brings Sometimes take just more than that to survive be good at heart There is evil in some of us no matter what will never change I will hope, my soul will fly, so I will live forever Heart will die, my soul will fly, and I will live forever Just a few small tears between someone happy and one sad Just a thin line drawn between being a genius or insane At what age begin to learn of which way out we will turn There's a long and winding road and the trail is there to burn There's a thin line between love and hate Wider divide that you can see between good and bad There's a grey place between black and white But everyone does have the right to choose the path that he takes I will hope, my soul will fly, so I will live forever Heart will die, my soul will fly, and I will live forever I will hope, my soul will fly, so I will live forever Heart will die, my soul will fly, and I will live forever The thin line between love and hate The thin line between love and hate |
