Lyrics


1. REACH FOR THE SKY

The stars are our home,
Roaming the galaxy
We're free.
Raiders from space,
Star fighter zeros.

Out of the sun,
Engage the enemy
we see,
Planets in chains
Hell is for heroes.

We glide in our silver birds,
Got to do or die.

Soar on solar winds,
Rage on high.
As fire on silent metal wings,
Out where the meteors fly... You and I.

Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky

Trail to blaze,
Glory and victory will be.
In for the kill,
Or wiped out forever.

Life is a dream,
And death a reality for me.
Star fleet in flames,
But never surrender.

Dog fight till the end,
Dive for the last time.

Soar on solar winds,
Rage on high.
As fire on silent metal wings,
Out where the meteors fly... You and I.

Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky
Reach for the sky

02. THE FUGITIVE

Wild on the run,
wild on the run,
I'm after you.
No walls can hold me,
no bars,
cause I'll slip through.

Convicted of murder,
a case of 1st degree.
They found me guilty,
but I'm innocent,
and now I'm free to...

Go to ground,
hide and seek.
Gonna track you down,
revenge is sweet. Yeah!

I'm a fugitive,
running from the law.
Framed,
this was not my own crime.
No penitentiary,
is gonna cage me.
Till vengeance,
and freedom is mine again.

Dragnet is on,
dragnet is on,
droids at my back.
Hunter becomes the hunted,
one step ahead of the pack.

So sleep with one eye open,
I'm never far away.
Keep a' looking,
over your shoulder,
you won't live another day.

Eye for an eye,
tooth for a tooth.
Make ya testify,
before ya die,
you'll tell the truth. Yeah!

I'm a fugitive,
running from the law.
Framed,
this was not my own crime.
No penitentiary,
is gonna cage me.
Till vengeance,
and freedom is mine again.

3. DAUGHTER OF DARKNESS

Woman,
I can remember a woman.
Warm were her kisses and tender was she,
lying there in my arms.
Why?
Why did you deceive me so?
What devil inside made you go,
when I needed you most of all-ll.

Oh daughter of darkness,
Stay out of my life, my life.
You took my heart and broke it apart,
you daughter of darkness.
Daughter of darkness,
Please, leave me alone forever.
Daughter of darkness,
gone is the love that we shared together.

Heaven,
we had our own kind of heaven.
Sharing together the magic of love,
in a world of our own.
Then,
oh so suddenly you were gone.
And the love I depended upon,
disappeared when you werent away-ay.

Oh daughter of darkness,
Stay out of my life, my life.
You took my heart and broke it apart,
you daughter of darkness.
Daughter of darkness,
Please, leave me alone forever.
Daughter of darkness,
gone is the love that we shared together.

4. HEAVY METAL MEN OF STEEL

The Devils own creation so we came,
forged of sea, rock, thunderbolt and flame.
Lords of fire, water, earth and air,
disciples of the cloven hoof we bear...

Power to pulverize a planet,
elementals personified.
Hand of iron, heart of granite,
we'll burn the world and turn the tides.

Global domination our goal,
we're taking over your thought control.
we'll blast your mind and your soul,
with thermo nuclear rock n' roll.

Cause were heavy metal... Men of steel!
were heavy metal... Men of steel!
Heavy metal men of,
Heavy metal made of,
Heavy metal men of steel!

Metamorphisized in a mystical charade,
man into immortal we were made.
Metallic masters wielding mega watt might,
super human entities larger than life...

From netherworlds,
to atlantian kingdoms.
barren wastes cities in the sky.
Dark rulers of the third dimension,
making music that will never die.

Global domination our goal,
we're taking over your thought control.
we'll blast your mind and your soul,
with thermo nuclear rock n' roll.

Heavy metal men of steel walk the Earth!

5. RAISED ON ROCK

Tune in to the music,
wreck the radio.
I'm all ready to go see a rock n' roll show.

I like it hot n' heavy,
I like it way up high.
The marshalls stacked like towers,
in a neon sky.

Hear the band play loud!
Feel the roar of the crowd!

We are raised on rock,
we were born to rock,
Come on make the mayhem fly.
We are raised on rock,
we were born to rock,
Let the whole world hear our cry!
Eyo-eyo gonna play it till I die,
Eyo-eyo we love it that is why... We rock!

Hold tight now we're moving,
turning on the heat.
Blazing guitars,
headbanging beat.

This feeling lasts forever,
not just a passing phase.
Reeling through the night,
in a metal daze.

Do ya dance on fire?
Does it take you higher?

We are raised on rock,
we were born to rock,
Come on make the mayhem fly.
We are raised on rock,
we were born to rock,
Let the whole world hear our cry!
Eyo-eyo gonna play it till I die,
Eyo-eyo we love it that is why... We rock!

6. BREAK IT UP

Hey - Woah! Hey - Woah!
Hey - Woah! Hey - Hey - Woah!

Break it up,
Ya bring me down.
Know where you bin,
You fool around.

Do anything,
Ya wanna do.
Your telling me,
I'm telling you.

A - Hey - yeah!
A - Hey - yeah!

You think you got me where you want me?
Well I think you got it wrong.
Get off my case,
I'll find someplace,
just where I feel I can belong...
And that's away from you!

Chorus
Break it up!
come on and break it up.
Why don't ya break it up!
Break it up!
There aint no making up... No not this time!

Falling in,
I'm cutting out.
I can see,
what your about.
Oh it's so strange,
you never learn.
had you way,
now it's my turn.

A - Hey - yeah! (Hey-Woah)
A - Hey - yeah! (Hey-Woah)

Fight tooth and nail,
hang on my tail,
Can't ever seem to get away.
I've had enough,
go strut your stuff,
It's time to call it all a day... Stop wasting all my time and money.

7. COULD THIS BE LOVE

I remember the first time I saw you,
standing over by the juke box alone.
From that moment I wanted to take you home.

Walked on over and asked what your name was,
Played it cool, it was'nt easy.
Said pretty lady maybe you would dance with me?

Your the kinda girl I always dreamed of,
but never thought that I would meet.
When you said you more than liked me too,
It knocked me off my feet.

Could this be Love?
I'm feeling for the first time,
Never felt it before.
Something as good as this,
is the real thing i'm sure.

Through the evening we clung so close together,
Senorita you stole my heart.
We were meant to be right from the start.

Now I've found you,
Can't live without you.
Starlight shining in your eyes,
Will you save the last dance for me?
Then don't say goodbye.

When you left me,
When you left me,
though love was true I was wrong.
All too soon,
I'm alone again.
Should of known it all along... Yeah!

Could it be love?
That I'm feeling?
Seems it's let me down once more.
Just when I though so long romance,
You came back knocking on my door.

Could this be Love? love, love yeah!

8. EYE OF THE SUN

Temple reaches to the sky,
in this year of feathered serpent.
Proud young warrior stands in sun light,
with his back against the world.

Sweat gets in his eyes,
starts to climb the giant stairway.
Head is bowed,
mouth is dry.
Awaiting death the final word.

Every breath may be his last,
soon in time the end will come.
High priest will spill a life,
spirits praise... The eye of the sun!

Down on the ground,
grim multitudes are forming.
Heat haze hangs on the horizon,
shadows fall before their eyes.

Tension mounts the appointed hour,
Is getting ever nearer.
Someone cries god help him!
Then looks the other way.

Great stone idol claims it's prize,
waits until the day is done.
Immortality bathed in golden rays... The eye of the sun!

Oh but if the holy writings tell a lie,
how many more doomed to die In vain?
Never asking knowing why?
The gods desire blood to give rain!

Solemn hush hangs in the air,
as he kneels before the alter.
Reflections of a past life,
flash by then slip away.
All hope of freedom gone,
as there cast upon the four winds.
Role of the chosen one,
was the price he had to pay.

Crimson blade arches down,
and then he's gone.
Phoenix rising from the ashes
blazing like... The eye!
