The Final Frontier

I try to call the Earth's command Desperation in my voice I'm drifting way off course now With very little choice The loneliness is hard to bear I try to calm my fear Just hoping any second now Some contact filters through Desperate calls... Signal back from Satellite As my life flashes right in front of me Try again... must get through Hear me now... For I've very little time Not much time... hear my call Please get through... I am here I'm stranded in Space I'm lost without trace I haven't a chance of getting away Too close to the Sun I surely will burn Like Icarus before me Or so legend goes I think of my life Reliving my past There's nothing but wait 'til my time comes I've had a good life I'd do it again Maybe I'll come back Some time afresh For I have lived my life to the full I have no regrets But I wish I could talk to my family To tell them one last goodbye The Final Frontier... The Final Frontier If I could survive To live one more time I wouldn't be changing A thing at all Done more in my life Than some do in ten I'd go back and do it All over again For I have lived my life to the full I have no regrets But I wish I could talk to my family To tell them that one last goodbye The Final Frontier... The Final Frontier There isn't much time Must say my last rites Nobody is here to read them to me Must say my goodbyes If only a line A message to tell them In case they might find... For I have lived my life to the full I have no regrets But I wish I could talk to my family To tell them that one last goodbye The Final Frontier... The Final Frontier

Sitting waiting in the falling rain Getting ready to begin again Wounded lying crying Bodies moving dying All around there is the smell Of death and fire Here the planes are coming Hear the soldiers running Killing on a scale to comprehend Why are we here In this place... here to kill Please God forgive us for what we have done I always though I was doing right As of now I'm not feeling so sure I'm at a place of where I give no grace I'm a soldier of war I sit waiting for my darkest hour To come I cannot think about the things That I have done It shouldn't take a fool to see That I believe Accept the consequence Repent for what I've done You tell me what is certain But I'll tell you what is true You tell me what is honesty When all around is death and cruelty The making of a man is fire Not giving in to our desires Within the truth that lies Within the only thing Mother Of Mercy Angel of death desire Mother Of Mercy Taking my last breath of fire Mother Of Mercy Angel of pain Mother Of Mercy Taking my last breath Some say you are a lost cause Some say you're a Saint Just being here's an act of Suffering and restraint Walk down the long dark road To ruin panic not I'll die a lonely death of that I'm certain of Rivers flow with blood There's nowhere left to hide It's hard to comprehend There's anyone left alive Sick of all the killing And the reek of death Will God tell me What religion is to man I don't hold with bad religion Understand what's underneath it Now I come to think of it I just don't hold at all you know it You say you are a holy man But what is it you do From where I stand is nothing But a hollow man I see Mother Of Mercy Angel of death desire Mother Of Mercy Taking my last breath of fire Mother Of Mercy Angel of pain Mother Of Mercy Taking my last breath I'm just a lonely soldier fighting In a bloody hopeless war Don't know what I'm fighting Who it is or what I'm fighting for Thought it was for money Make my fortune now I'm not So sure Seem to just have lost my way

When I stand before you, shining in the early morning sun. When i feel the engines roar, and I think of what we've done. Oh, the bittersweet reflection as we kiss the earth goodbye, as the waves and echoes of the towns become the ghosts of time. Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes, no creed and no religion, just a hundred winged souls. We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth. A thousand leagues away, our land of birth. To Albion's land, coming home when I see the runway lights. In the misty dawn the night is fading fast. Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align. Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay. Curving on the edge of daylight 'til it slips into the void. Waited in the long night, dreaming til the sun is born again. Stretched the fingers of my hand, covered countries with my span Just a lonely satellite, speck of dust and cosmic sand. Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes, through the dark Atlantic, over mounting stormy waves. We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth. A thousand leagues away, our land of birth. To Albion's land, coming home when I see the runway lights. In the misty dawn the night is fading fast. Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align. Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay.

Stranger than the comet As it streaks across the sky Stranger than the truth I know Before my open eyes I have dealt in mysteries And trickery of light to entertain Looked into the abyss Called it by it's name I have plundered time itself Put the world inside it And the mysteries day and night divide it A plague of wonders on your knees beside me Know the secrets You shall not deride us My dreams of empire for my frozen queen will come to pass Know me the Magus I am Doctor Dee and this is my house I am the master of the tides I shame the mirror in my sight What random music of the spheres across the years Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Chain of the demons set free Strange Alchemy Gather round the aimless and the feckless and the lame Hear the master summon up The spirits by their names I curse you Edward Kelly you Betrayal for eternity is damned Know you speak with demons you cannot command Even as I look into the glass Then I was blinded Burning the Mortlake shore My house my books inside it You have taken up my wife And lain beside her Now the black rain on my house The timbers burning My dreams of empire for my frozen queen will come to pass Know me the Magus I am Doctor Dee and this was my house I was the keeper of the books I had the knowledge of the scrolls But now through ignorance and fear I cast a shadow through the years Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Chain of the demons set free Strange Alchemy Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Restore the knowledge of memory Strange Alchemy

I can hear them floating on the wind, immortal souls, their weeping saddens me. Mother Earth, you know your time is near. Awaken lust, the seed is sown and reaped. Through the western isle I hear the dead awaken, rising slowly to the court of Avalon. The cauldron of the head of Annwyn laced with envy, dark around its edge with pearl and destiny. All my days I've waited for the sign, the one that brings me closer to Isle of Avalon. I can feel the power flowing through my veins My heart is beating louder, close to Avalon. I can hear you, can you hear me? I can feel you, can't you feel me? Fertility Mother Goddess. Celebration, sow the seeds of the born, the fruit of her body laden through the corn doll. You will pray for them all. The image of Mother Goddess, lying dormant in the eyes of the dead. The sheaf of the corn is broken. End the harvest, throw the dead of the pyre. I hear her crying the tears of an angel, the voices I hear in my head. Blessed the fruits, are the corn of the earth, Mother Earth, holy blood of the dead. Mother Earth I can hear you. Sacrifice, now united. Rising levels of the tidal lakes protect them, keepers of the goddess in the underworld. Holding powers of the mystics, deep inside them, nineteen maidens, guardians of the otherworld. Mortal conflict born of Celtic legend that apart from seven, non-returned from Avalon. Mother Earth I can feel you, my rebirth now completed. Fertility Mother Goddess. Celebration, sow the seeds of the born, the fruit of her body laden through the corn doll. You will pray for them all. The image of Mother Goddess, lying dormant in the eyes of the dead. The sheaf of the corn is broken. End the harvest, throw the dead of the pyre. To have the belief of others, looking for the Isle to show them a sign. Fertility of all mothers stood in silence, waiting now for their turn. The gateway to Avalon, the island where the souls of dead are reborn, brought here to die, and be transferred into the earth and then for rebirth... I hear her crying the tears of an angel, the voices I hear in my head. Blessed the fruits, are the corn of the earth, Mother Earth, holy blood of the dead. The water in rivers and rhymes rises quickly, are flowing and flooding the land. The sea shall return once again just to hide them, lost souls on the Isle of the dead.

Take my eyes the things I've seen In this world coming to an end My reflection fades I'm weary Of these earthly bones and skin You may pass through me and Leave no trace I have no mortal face Solar winds are whispering you may hear me call We can shed our skins and swim into the darkened void beyond We will dance among the world That orbit stars that aren't our sun All the oxygen that trapped us in A carbon spider's web Solar winds are whispering you may hear the sirens of the dead Let the elders to their parley Meant to satisfy our lust Leaving Damacles still handing over all their promised trust Walk away from freedoms offered By the jailors in their cage Step into the light startripping Over mortals in their rage Starblind with the sun the stars are one We are the light that brings the end of night Starblind with the sun the stars are one We are with the Goddess of the sun tonight The preacher loses face with Christ Religion's cruel device is gone Empty flesh and hollow bones Make pacts of love but die alone The crucible of pain will forge the Blanks of sin begin again You are free to choose a life to live Or one that's left to lose Virgins in the teeth of God are Meat and drink to feed the damned You may pass through me and I Will feel the life that you live less Step into my light startripping We will rage against the night Walk away from comfort offered By your citizens of death Starblind with the sun the stars are one We are the light that brings the end of night Starblind with the sun the stars are one We are one with the Goddess of the sun tonight Take my eyes for what I've seen I will give my sight to you You are free to choose whatever Life to live or life to lose Whatever God you know He knows you better than you Believe In your once and future grave You'll fall endlessly deceived Look into your face reflected in the Moonglow in your eyes Remember you can choose To look but not to see and waste your hours You believe you have the time But I tell you your time is short See your past and future all the Same and it cannot be bought Starblind with the sun the stars are one We are the light that brings the end of night Starblind with the sun the stars are one We are with the Goddess of the sun tonight Take my eyes for what I've seen I will give my sight to you You are free to choose whatever Life to live or life to lose Whatever God you know He knows you better than you Believe In your once and future grave You'll fall endlessly deceived The preacher loses face with Christ Religion's cruel device is gone Empty flesh and hollow bones Make pacts of love but die alone The crucible of pain will forge the Blanks of sin begin again You are free to choose a life to live Or one that's left to lose

When I stand and look about the port And contemplate my life will I ever see my countrymen again As the captain calls us on the deck I take my things and walk To the harbourside I glance back one last time Fleeing our nation our problems we leave behind Ships by the tenfold sail out on the tide We are pleased to be out and embracing the open sea Free from our troubles And more free from thee Inheritors unfulfilled reason behind us We flee from what is not what is will be We flee the earth and face our harsh reality Will death be low mist that hangs on the sea We run from evil tongues rash judgements selfish men Never to be seen on these shores again As we sail into oceansize And lose sight of land A face of contentment Around in the air We're off now to seek all our fortunes To the land of our dreams Riding the waves and the storm is upon us The winds lash the sails but the ropes keep them tight Off in the distance a dark cloud approaching None could imagine what there was to come No there's no one going back No there's not a second chance As we strap onto the side We pray to God that we won't die As we ride the rough seas As we soak from the ocean waves I just hope for all our lives And pray that I survive Four ships are lost in the stormy conditions The spirits of the sunken crews Their phantoms follow us Spirits sail they drive us on Through the all consuming waves Cold mortality no weapon Against these ever raging seas Four leagues and ten and we hit storms again We just can't get away from the eye of the storm The birds outsoar the raging storm But we cannot escape it Abandoned earth that we now crave Is many leagues from safe Holding on for our dear lives And we're praying once again Rotten luck or just jonahed The talisman is in my hand Limbs fatigued trembling with cold Blinded from the sea spray salt Clasping anything we can hold Heaven's rain upon us falls Twenty days without a meal And ten without fresh water still Those that didn't die in storms The scurvy rest did slaughter Westward the tide Westward we sail on Westward the tide Sail by the talisman We approach the other side Of the ocean with the tide In our favour just for once Welcome greeting our new land The elation in our hearts The excitement in our veins As we sail towards the coastline Of our golden promised land Weary limbs fatigued away I have no life left in me No more strength and nothing left to give Must find the will to live Never thought that we could make it Truly sight of shores divine The sickness I am dying from Never wanted it to end this way Westward the tide Westward we sail on Westward the tide Sail by the talisman

As he travels on the beast of burden Moving up along the mountainside As he gazes looking down the valley No regrets but his pride As he journeys across mountain passes Insignificance sweeps over him His reflection of the beauty round him Feeling empty inside He is running from his wildest thoughts He is running from his everything He is looking now to find something Hoping he can be saved He's searching for the answer now It's something that he's managed to avoid up 'til now Real conviction that the craves He needs to find the answer sooner or later Pushed himself to the limits He had to strive for all the harder things in life But what the cost of giving now His life his time are the only things that he has Life is not a rehearsal All he has is the one chance to get it right Leaving really is the only way to know Maybe one day they'll forgive him what he's done But now the pain of lying too early in the grave Destiny no good to hide away Penance now will be his only way Understand no good to run away Penance now will be his saving grace He tries to make his peace with God All is forgivable but it's left a little late Trying something that he's not Is it possible to change such a lot He's taken someone's life away There's not a day goes by He regrets what he's done He should have found another way But the good book says an eye for an eye In reflecting of decisions that were made On the judgements that will haunt him 'til his grave No one has the right to take another life But in his mind he had no choice So be it Destiny no good to hide away Penance now will be his only way Understand no good to run away Penance now will be his saving grace Far far away the man who would be king So far away the man who would be king Far far away the man who would be king

Have you heard what they said on the news today? Have you heard what is coming to us all? That the world as we know it will be coming to an end Have you heard, have you heard? He sees them in the distance when the darkened clouds roll He could feel tension in the atmosphere He would look in the mirror, see an old man now Does it matter they survive somehow? They said there's nothing can be done about the situation They said there's nothing you can do at all To sit and wait around for something to occur did you know, did you know? As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows wonders if they’ll ever grow again The desperation of the situation getting graver getting ready when the wild wind blows Have you seen what they said on the news today? Have you heard what they said about us all? Do you know what is happening to just every one of us have you heard, have you heard? There will be a catastrophe the like we’ve never seen There will be something that will light the sky that the world as we know it, it will never be the same did you know, did you know? He carries everything into the shelter not a fuss getting ready when the moment comes He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two good to have because you never know They tell us nothing that we don’t already know about They tell us nothing that is real at all They only fill us with the stuff that they want did you know, did you know? He's nearly finished with the preparations for the day He's getting tired -- that'll do for now They are preparing for the very worst to come to them getting ready when the wild wind blows He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down upside down He sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face, saying grace Remember times they had, they flash right through his mind left behind of a lifetime spent together long ago will be gone They've been preparing for some weeks now For when the crucial moment comes To take their refuge in the shelter Let them prepare for what will come They make a tea and sit there waiting They're in the shelter feeling snug Not long to wait for absolution Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait Can't believe all the lying, All the screams are denying That the moments of truth have begun Can't you see it on the t.v.? Don't believe them in the least bit Now the days of our ending have begun Say a prayer when it's all over Survivors unite, all as one Got to try and help each other Got the will to overcome I can't believe all the lying, all the screens are denying that the moments of truth have begun Can't you see it on the TV? Don't believe them in the least bit Now the days of our ending have begun When they found them, [they] had their arms wrapped around each other Their tins of poison laying near by their clothes The day they both mistook an earthquake for the fallout, Just another when the wild wind blows...
