Yours is such a heavy load I watch you bend Carry me a little more I'll be your very end Then slowly unfold me and I will shine You love yet you loathe me I am divine. All that's good gets swept away All that's evil will have its day. See the tears of the lost and lonely Hear the fears as they cry in shame See the tears of the lost and lonely As they march to Judgement Day. Empty head and empty heart I watch you crawl With Judas as your only guide I watch you fall So slowly unfold me and I will shine You love yet you loathe me I am divine. All that's good gets swept away All that's evil will have its day. See the tears of the lost and lonely Hear the fears as they cry in shame See the tears of the lost and lonely As they march to Judgement Day. Let's drink the wine from timeless years and if you dare To wipe away those bitter tears that keep you here.

I have crossed the bridge that leads to shadows I have chased the nightmare to the end I have sailed the seven seas of wonder Left a trail of misery behind If it all goes wrong will you hear the song I'm singing? If it all goes wrong will we hear the church bells ringing out? We'll dance of the feast of the devil We'll dance at his feast. Careful what you wish for when you are dreaming We all can see the fantasies with time Don't believe a word that they are saying Hide behind the circles of you mind If it all goes wrong will you hear the song I'm singing? If it all goes wrong will we hear the church bells ringing out? We'll dance of the feast of the devil We'll dance at his feast. Tick tock the end is drawing nearer And we are filled with doubt. Now we've seen what happens to the liars Now we know the guilty will survive Come with me I can make you holy In this world of make believe. Surprise! If it all goes wrong will you hear the song I'm singing? If it all goes wrong will we hear the church bells ringing out? We'll dance of the feast of the devil We'll dance at his feast.

And the cradle will rock and all the world's my stage Yes the cradle will rock and all the world's my stage As the dream comes alive, hunters are on the prowl As you cling to the past now's the time's the hour You and I could be enemies (anywhere) All we see is light There is a world you will never see. We scream the phoenix is rising We scream as the world goes to war. Can you see in your mind all the things we've lost? When the bible is torn from the man who had it all It's the greatest of lies now you hear my voice Screamin' so loud so loud above the noise You and I are magical Yes you and I can fly You and I are magical. We scream the phoenix is rising We scream as the world goes to war. You feel the power of the hunter creepin' up on you But there's nothing you can do You feel the past calling its crawling its deep inside your mid. Its over and over and now the ends in sight. And the cradle will rock and all the world's my stage Yes the cradle will rock and all the world's my stage As the dream comes alive, hunters are on the prowl As you cling to the past now's the time's the hour You and I could be enemies (anywhere) All we see is light There is a world you will never see. We scream the phoenix is rising We scream as the world goes to war. You and I are magical Yes you and I can shine Always believe in your world.

Bring us not to ruin, the fight is never over, till its over A politician lies and young men and women give up their lives. Where evil finds its way, we will meet it and send it away. All Praise the War Machine. We watch them hiding in their lairs, at last to meet their maker. Terror in their eyes as they ask "Have you come to save me?" Some things we never learn and its so wrong, let's take and stand. War Machine Still it turns then it burns. Now we've come to Praise the War Machine - Hail! All Praise the War Machine - Hail! Watch it burn. Now we've come to Praise the War Machine - Hail! All Praise the War Machine - Hail! And as you lie before them now, the masters of your destruction. Their pockets lined with gold let your past rise up to haunt them. You tyrants in our midst, we despise you and soon you'll be gone. War machine still it turns and it's so wrong. Now we've come to Praise the War Machine - Hail! All Praise the War Machine - Hail!

Lords in their chambers they're handing out favours They only answer to God Watching the bankers the second rate chancers Driving us into the ground. There's a sign on his door says "Don't come in" What's he doing in there with his nistress? There's a sign on the door Experience for sale There's a sign on the door. I'm gonna get ya. We had Great Expectations But you all let us down We had Great Expectations You just let us down. Priests and their morals sing Christmas carols While drinking the communion wine Mix up the story we know of Heaven and glory See the blind leading blind. There's a cross on the wall and a purple gown It's a story we know only too well There's a cross on the wall, and a candle bright There's a cross on the wall but it just ain't right. We had Great Expectations But you all let us down We had Great Expectations You just let us down. Here comes the young man fathering children He'll never see as they grow Watching the young girl dancing for money Swinging her legs round a pole. Forgotten child if you head goes wild Forgotten child of despair Forgotten child gotta rise above If you gotta get crazy Get high on love. We had Great Expectations But you all let us down We had Great Expectations You just let us down down down.

Never thought I'd find myself so cold and lonely Never thought I'd find myself alone at all Lost on the sea of dream Lost on the sea of heartache. After all you gave me your word After all that's all I needed After all you gave me your word After all............. Looking in your eyes I can see that you're not lying Looking in your eyes I can see the truth Strip away the mask that keeps us free from leaving Because of love Because of love. After all you gave me your word After all that's all I needed After all you gave me your word After all.............still naked on the floor Naked on the floor. They say that to repeat mistakes invites our madness But madness is the only thing too keep us sane Brush away the sting of tears that haunt the spirit Still you believe Still you believe. After all you gave me your word After all that's all I had After all you gave me your word After all.............Still...

You say I bring darkness I know I bring light You tell me I'm living a lie No wonder you world is so upside down You can't get your feet off the ground. And I know what you thinking But it don't mean that much to me Yes I know where you're coming from Your eyes are still to blind to see. Live it love it! We live for Rock 'n' Roll Live it love it! Don't believe a word Live it love it! We live for Rock' n' Roll Live it love it. You say that you won't then you say that you will And now you're so lost in your past There is no one to tell you what you need to hear Believe me I'll have the last laugh. I don't care what you think of me you're nothing at all If you want to play games with me Just hold on I'm coming round. Live it love it! We live for Rock 'n' Roll Live it love it! Don't believe a word Live it love it! We live for Rock' n' Roll Live it love it. Now that you battle is over and lost Your tears fall across your dry eyes The hour glass is smashed and time standing still Still you are caught in the past. I don't care what you think of me your nothing at all If you want to play games with me Just hold on I'm coming round. Live it love it! We live for Rock 'n' Roll Live it love it! Don't believe a word Live it love it! We live for Rock' n' Roll Live it love it.

Can you feel the torment of the sacred sun? Can you feel it rising on the things you've done Can you feel the moment the abandoned roar? Can you give them shelter from the coming storm? If I cast my mind back, I live within my shell If I look behind me I see that you're not there Is any one there? No! If the greed of liars makes you feel betrayed And the hate within us is a tidal wave Breathe the scent of wanting smell the jealousy For the lives of others we look the other way. Cast your mind back to the days when we were young We had open hearts but the innocence has gone Now we all dream alone. In a world without pity So many lost and lonely souls In a world without pity I walk the streets and I walk alone. I've heard every cliché in every song If you don't like it how can you sing along? I heard that forever is a lonely place Maybe we can meet there sometime some day. But just remember today is for today And if tomorrow the light gone away I still hear him say.

Hollow cheeks and ice cold eyes A hero lives but he's dead inside The across he bares Wounds and scars Wild-eyed stare but he don't look back. Soldier of fortune mistress of pain Stares at the ground through the mist and the rain Looks like someone we should know Come so far but there's a long way to go. You can't see his world from here Can't see the world. This is my insanity I stare at nothing at all. Lying here I cannot move Gone are the days I had something to prove I hear them talk I can't reply All I want is just to breakdown and cry. Locked in this prision locked in this hell Praying to God to get my life back again Look like someone you once knew Wish I could but I just can't break through. You can't see his world from there You can't see my world. This is my insanity I'm such a long way gone. I, so alone I'm such a long way gone, Lost in this world My cruel world.

Are those ours, over head? Why can't they shoot the enemy instead We took the King's shilling for killing the hun Over there, they must be blind They think we're singing songs to pass the time Walking through land mines ain't really much fun Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone But we didn't come here to die on our own To be remembered in a tower of stone For their honour For their honour and their blood Honour and blood! (x2) See the fear, in our eyes They kick us to make sure we're still alive To fulfill the duty of shooting someone If I were dead, I'd understand But I never thought that I could kill a man Maybe tomorrow I won't see the sun Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone But we didn't come here to die on our own To be remembered in a tower of stone For their honour For their honour and their blood Honour and blood! (x2) Are those ours, over head? Why can't they shoot the enemy instead We took the King's shilling for killing the hun Over there, they must be blind They think we're singing songs to pass the time Walking through land mines ain't really much fun Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone But we didn't come here to die on our own To be remembered in a tower of stone For their honour For their honour and their blood Honour and blood!
