Diamond Head
Album • 1982
Steely eyes of a silvery people Walk behind me, with evil intent. Up to the tower, I stand alone Stripped of rank before a throne I am sent. What befalls us in the heat of the night? What befalls us in the heat of the night? Before long, behind adamantine doors, I taste of the wine of their joy. Through delirium of a tortured mind Her face gave me strength to this day. What befalls us in the heat of the night? What befalls us in the heat of the night? In the heat of the night But love deceived me, and in my despair I recalled the ring once again Born of Sorrow my cunning revives me, And I took them with me enchained What befalls us in the heat of the night? What befalls us in the heat of the night? In the heat of the night

Lonely moor, sky is grey Moon across the waves See the steely shafts of light Reflect across the bay Towards a tower The coach prepares To shed its load of life I'm prepared for what we see For what we meet tonight To Heaven from Hell I've been there before To Heaven from Hell Sweet and sure To Heaven from Hell I've been there before To Heaven from Hell Lock my door On we go, up to the castle Death waits for our call Left unkempt, but quietly praying Remembers when to fall Alone for now But soon not so As we return to claim That home of mine Through generations Lost but now remain To Heaven from Hell I've been there before To Heaven from Hell Sweet and sure To Heaven from Hell I've been there before To Heaven from Hell Lock my door Oh Lord now help me Its entrance falling down The madness of our fathers law The pain of retribution The house brought down to ground Sins of my ancestors The judgement day's at hand Yeah The creeping voice of fire Screams out for bloody war Subside the greater destiny The shadows of dawn's open The realms of my life torn I'll stand and yield to this Oh, oh To Heaven from Hell To Heaven from Hell To Heaven from Hell To Heaven from Hell Hell

Four O'clock in the morning now Well I can't sleep for love Been waiting for you to call To say you love me enough It clouds my head that unhappy night Please forgive every word I see it all much clearer now It all seems so absurd But my plane leaves at 10a.m. We both know I must go To return I must be told That you know what I know Call me, baby Call me Call me, baby Call me To tell the truth I don't want to go So say you want me to stay You are more than all to me This is no game that I play But my plane leaves at 10a.m. We both know I must go To return I must be told That you know what I know Call me, baby Call me Call me, baby Call me Call me, baby Call me Call me, baby Call me But my plane leaves at 10a.m. We both know I must go To return I must be told That you know what I know Say you love me, say you do Let me tell you Tell me that you want me to stay baby, baby, baby

On scorched earth return me to be a simple man I am destined by the gods to walk this land An embittered poet, a slave to this black blade Oh, my heart still searches for truth, a lost age I have loved, I have lost I have killed those who have loved me so I have loved, at what cost Lord, I don't know I'm living on borrowed time I'm living on borrowed time These robes, purple royal, claim me their own From a city lost in dust, I stand alone Evil thoughts; evil minds; must I live like I do? Without fear, on borrowed time she helps me through I have loved, I have lost I have killed those who have loved me so I have loved, at what cost Lord, I don't know I'm living on borrowed time I'm living on borrowed time On scorched earth return me to be a simple man I am destined by the gods to walk this land To search for love, to search for love All in my heart, is this enough love... As Satan's child, I stand alone in hand I'm a nomad of this desert, barren lands My time is short, wild gods of air and sea Stand by your corruption, and thrive by sorcery I have loved, I have lost I have killed those who have loved me so I have loved, at what cost Lord, I don't know I'm living on borrowed time I'm living on borrowed time I'm living on borrowed time I'm living on borrowed time

Oh Babe I can recall the day Close enough to make me feel bad Seems like only yesterday Still in my heart it makes me sad Oh no, oh no Don't you ever leave me baby Oh no, oh no Don't you ever leave me Oh no, oh no Don't you ever leave me baby Oh no, oh no Don't you ever leave me I can remember that night I cried The love we had, you said you don't give me no more And as you kissed my lips goodbye I called out to you now to close the door Oh no, oh no Don't you ever leave me baby Oh no, oh no Don't you ever leave me Oh no, oh no Don't you ever leave me baby Oh no, oh no Don't you ever leave me Don't you leave me baby Don't you leave me baby Don't you leave me baby Don't you leave me baby Don't you leave me baby Don't you leave me baby

My mother was a witch, she was burned alive Thankless little bitch, for the tears I cried Take her down now, don't wanna see her face Blistered and burnt, can't hide my disgrace 27 every one was nice, gotta see them, Make them pay the price See their bodies out on the ice, take my time Am I evil, yes I am Am I evil, I am man As I watched my Mother die, I lost my head Revenge now I sought, to break with my bread Takin' no chances, you come with me I'll split you to the bone Help set you free. 27 every one was nice, gotta see them, Make them pay the price See their bodies out on the ice, take my time Am I evil, yes I am Am I evil, I am man On with the action now, I'll strip your pride I'll spread your blood around, I'll see you ride Your face is scarred with steel, wounds deep and neat Like a double dozen before you, smell so sweet. 27 every one was nice, gotta see them, Make them pay the price See their bodies out on the ice, take my time Am I evil, yes I am Am I evil, I am man I'll make my residence, I'll watch your fire You can come with me, sweet desire My face is long forgotten, my face not my own Sweet and timely whore, take me home
