Lyrics


1. THE LAST STAND

Behold, the darkness
And the howling moon,
She rides the heavens,
With memories and dreams of you
Shining, ghostly shadow
Make my nights insane
The road I travel
She leads me through this earthly place

[Chorus]
I'll run
Run forever,
I'll run, forever run
The last stand, before him

The knights, of favoured angels
Stand along forlorn
They guard the battle
When heroes fall In vain, they fight
The one, who holds this land
A haunting shadow
His burning hand

[Chorus]

In vain, they fight
The one, who holds this land
A haunting shadow,

[Chorus]

I'll run
Run forever I'll run, forever run
The last stand before hell

[Chorus]


2. CAST AWAY

Never knowing your feelings,
Never knowing where you ve been
Hiding in a world of fantasy and make believe
Sitting in a mist of dreams,
Will you give up
Slowly getting old, left waiting

Live your life its not lost
The flame flickers in the frost
Of winter snows you stand around
Waiting to receive

Castaway,
Castaway, waiting
Waiting for, to take
The dreams of years
The pain and fears away

You move along in this merr-go-round
Wondering if its worth the chance
Wondering if youll take a chance
From day to day you learn to find your feet,
But hour I know
Your just waiting

Live your life its not lost
The flame flickers in the frost
Of winter snows you stand around
Waiting to receive

Castaway,
Castaway, waiting
Waiting for, to take
The dreams of years
The pain and fears away

Castaway,
Castaway,
Castaway,

Castaway,
Castaway,
Castaway,
Castaway,
Yuor castaway


3. ALAMEIN

Rolling, through the streets
With blood on your feet,
A heart of steel, with men for your soul

The innocent ones, they are falling
The screams of pain,
Their calling,
But you still go on

Through the fields,
Across the desert
Your taking lives

The steel chains, they all look the same
The broken tracks, are all that remain
With fuel vein, your poison rains
Through the sky
Can you tell me why
Can you tell me why

Alamein
Never want to see you again
Men died for you
Their were left
Lying in pain
O no! Not again

Stop it now, Oh!
Pull the plug its time to go
Trenches filled with souls not gold
Oh ! oh ! Oh!!!!!!!!!!

The enemy lines,
They were guarded with mines
And barbed wire,
Where lifeless bodies decay
Cant happen again,
There must be a way, ay

Alamein
Never want to see you again
Men died for you
Their were left
Lying in pain
O no! Not again

El Alamein,
Never want to see you again
Men died for you
There left
Lying in graves
O No

El Alamein
Men died for you
Alamein
Alamein


4. AFTER THE BATTLE

A blood red sky,
Sails over a blood stained ground
Now a scared and tainted wasteland
Silenced with the tears in a thousand hands

The men who souls will stay forever
Saddened by the sands of time
Some will drift forever nameless
No longer to feel the pain of a broken heart

The sun bleached sands of the Hells fire pass
Green fields or the Jungles dark
Still hold the souls of warriors past
Long, long
After the battle


5. ROCKING THROUGH THE NIGHT

Get ready to meet with the boys

6. FORTUNE LIES

I see, you walking through the mist
Babe I try, but you know that I cant resist
But you figure, has become a broken shadow
A face I used to know

But your fortune lies,
Are in your eyes
Yeah fortune lies

Never ending, will I wake from this dream,
A twisted fantasy it would seem
But Im, forever moving on
To memories of a place were we belong,

But your fortune lies,
Are in your eyes
Yeah fortune lies

Do you see me,
Is my fortune told
With your fortune eyes

Do you see me
The way I see you

Your fortune lies
Are in her eyes
Your fortune eyes
Fortune eyes


7. MEMORIES

Now she gone
The heart it hurts so inside me
Well I try to visualise
Her face, her face
Lost for words
I cry for time reminds me
All we had,
When you were here

Now the crystal chandelier
Lights the hallway to the darkness
Of your empty room
Memories and loneliness
Try to seek another heart
Away from this ghostly tomb

And my memories,
My Memories
My Memories
And my Memories
Memories,

As the days slowly pass, unnoticed
Thinking back to all those, happy years
I find my life my love
Its all unnoticed
For I sit alone
Remembering you my love in tears

Now the crystal chandelier
Light the hallway
From the darkness
Of your empty room
Dreams of the way we were
But to never feel the love again
Your love again

Those memories
O! Those memories
Those memories
O! The memories


8. BLOODY WAR

Heroes tales, there battle songs
For death or glory
Their the broken ones
With tortured minds, left with the memories
Its haunting,
Its haunting
This bloody war

For death is all around us
The sky ablaze with the gun sound
Of this bloody war
Bloody war of the world

These men their blood was wasted
In a stupid war
Pushed to kill
As was never, never before
Marching on, with a battle comrade gone
Their fighting, their fight,
But they keep on dying

For death is all around us
The sky is ablaze with the gun sound
Of this bloody war

O God in heaven,
Send your messenger
For their hearts desire
To escape the fire !

Death is all around us
The sky, ablaze with the gun sound
Death is all around us
The sky ablaze with the gun sound
Of this bloody war
Bloody war,
Of this bloody war
Bloody war
Of this bloody war
