1. DOCTOR DOCTOR (UFO COVER)
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I'm goin' fast
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I just can't left
She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart
Livin', lovin', wild on the run
So far away from you
Livin', lovin', wild on the run
So far away from you
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I just can't left
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment but she's turning paranoid
That is not a situation for a hearted nervous boy
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I'm goin' fast
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I just can't left
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, and just can't take any more
Livin', lovin', wild on the run
So far away from you
Livin', lovin', wild on the run
So far away from you
Wild on the run
2. THE IDES OF MARCH
(instrumental)
3. MURDERS IN THE RUE MORGUE
I remember it as plain as day although it happened in the dark of the night
I was strolling through the streets of Paris and it was cold, it was starting to rain
And then I heard a piercing scream and I rush to the scene of the crime
But all I found was the butchered remains of two girls lay side by side
Murders in the rue Morgue, someone call the gendarmes
Murders in the rue Morgue, run before the killers go free
There's some people coming down the street, at last there's someone heard my call
I can't understand why they're pointing at me, I never done nothing at all
But I must have got some blood on my hands because everyone's shouting at me
I can't speak french so I couldn't explain and like a fool I started running away
Murders in the rue Morgue, someone call the gendarmes
Murders in the rue Morgue, am I ever gonna be free ?
And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law, all France is looking for me
I've gotta find my way across the border for sure down the South to Italy
Murders in the rue Morgue, running from the gendarmes
Murders in the rue Morgue, I'm never going home
Well, I made it to the border at last but I can't erase the scene from my mind
Anytime somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind
Well, I've moving through the shadows at night, away from the staring eyes
Any day they'll be looking for me 'cause I know I show the sign of...
Murders in the rue Morgue, running from the gendarmes
Murders in the rue Morgue, running from the arms of the law
Murders in the rue Morgue, running from the gendarmes
Murders in the rue Morgue, am I ever gonna be free ?
It tool so long and I'm getting so tired, I'm running out of places to hide
Should I return to the scene of the crime where the two young victims died
If I could go to somebody for help, I'd get me out of trouble for sure
But I know that it's on my mind, that my doctor said I've done it before
Murders in the rue Morgue, they're never gonna find me
Murders in the rue Morgue, I'm never going home
4. ANOTHER LIFE
As I lay here lying on my bed, sweat voices come into my head
Oh, what it is ? I wanna know... Please won't you tell me it's got to go
There's a feeling that's inside me, telling me to get away
But I'm so tired of living, I might as well end today
As I lay here lying on my bed, sweat voices come into my head
Oh, what it is ? I wanna know... Please won't you tell me it's got to go
There's a feeling that's inside me, telling me to get away
But I'm so tired of living, I might as well end today
As I lay here lying on my bed, sweat voices come into my head
Oh, what it is ? I wanna know... Please won't you tell me it's got to go
There's a feeling that's inside me, telling me to get away
But I'm so tired of living, I might as well end today
5. PROWLER
Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my way
See the ladies flashing
All their legs and lashes
I've just got to find my way
Well you see me crawling through
The bushes with it open wide
What you seeing girl
Can't you believe that feeling
Can't you believe it
Can't you believe your eyes
It's the real thing girl
Got me feeling myself, and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around
Got me feeling myself, and reeling around
Got me talking but nothing's kill me
Got me feeling myself, and reeling around
Walking through the city
Looking oh so pretty
I've just got to find my way
See the Ladies flashing
All their legs and lashes
I've just got to find my way
Well you see me crawling through
The bushes with it open wide
What you seeing girl
Can't you believe that feeling
Can't you believe it
Can't you believe your eyes
It's the real thing girl
Got me feeling myself, and reeling around
Got me talking but feel like walking around
6. THE TROOPER
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand, there's no turning back
The Bugle sounds and the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horse breath
As I plunge into a certain death
The horse he sweats with fear, we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near, yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day
We get so close, near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pull the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds take my horse below
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
7. REMEMBER TOMORROW
Unchain the colours before my eyes
Yesterday sorrows, tomorrow white lies
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher
I shall return from out of the fire
Tears for remembrance and tears for joy
Tears for somebody and this lonely boy
Out in the madness the all seeing eye
Flickers above us to light up the sky
Unchain the colours before my eyes
Yesterday sorrows, tomorrow white lies
Scan the horizon, the clouds take me higher
I shall return from out of the fire
8. WHERE EAGLES DARE
It's snowing outside, the rumbling sound of engines roar in the night
The mission is near, the confident men are waiting to drop from the sky
The blizzard goes on but still they must fly
No one should go where eagles dare
Bavarian Alps that lay all around, they seem to stare from below
The enemy lines a long time passed are lying deep in the snow
Into the night they fall through the sky
No one should fly where eagles dare
They're closing in, the fortress is near, it's standing high in the sky
The cable car's the only way in, it's really impossible to climb
They make their way but maybe too late
They've got to try to save the day
The panicking cries, the roaring of guns are echoing all round the valley
The mission complete they make to escape away from the Eagles Nest
They dared to go where no one would try
They chose to fly where eagles dare
9. RUN TO THE HILLS
White man came across the sea
He brought us pain and misery
He killed our tribes, he killed our creed
He took our game for his own need
We fought him hard, we fought him well
Out on the plains, we gave him Hell
But many came, too much for Cree
Oh, will we ever be set free
Riding through dust clouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom, the stab in the back
Women and children and cowards attack
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Soldier blue in the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good Indians are tame
Selling them whiskey and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
Run to the hills, run for your lives
10. REVELATIONS
"O God of Earth and Altar
Bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter
Our people drift and die
The walls of gold entomb us
The swords of scorns divide
Take not my thunder from us
But take away our pride"
(G.K. Chesterton, English Hymnal)
Just a babe in a black abyss
No reason for a place like this
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
An easy way for the blind to go
A clever path for the fools who know
The secret of the Hangman, the smile on his lips
The light of the Blind, you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The Eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see
She came to me with a serpent's kiss
As the Eye of the Sun rise on her lips
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry
So we lay in a black embrace
And the seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched, and I waited for the Dawn
The light of the Blind, you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The Eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see
Blind all of us together
Ablaze with Hope and Free
No storm or heavy weather
Will rock the boat you'll see
The time has come to close your eyes
And still the wind and rain
For the one who will be King
The watcher in the Ring
It is you ? Oh, it is you ?
11. WRATHCHILD
I was born into a scene
Of angriness and greed
Of dominance and persecution
My mother was a queen
My dad I've never seen
I was never meant to be
Now I spend my time looking all around
For a man that's nowhere to be found
Until I find him, I'm never gonna stop searching
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel round
'Cause I'm a wrathchild
Well, I'm a wrathchild
Yeah, I'm a wrathchild
I'm coming to get you, oh yeah, yeah !
Some say I shouldn't matter
Ain't nothing gonna alter
The course of my destination
But I know I've gotta find
Some serious peace of mind
Or I know I'll just go crazy
Now I spend my time looking all around
For a man that's nowhere to be found
Until I find him, I'm never gonna stop searching
I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel round
'Cause I'm a wrathchild
Well, I'm a wrathchild
Yeah, I'm a wrathchild
I'm coming to get you, oh yeah, yeah !
12. DIE WITH YOUR BOOTS ON
Another Prophet of Disaster
Who says the ship is lost
Another Prophet of Disaster
Leaving you to count the cost
Taunting us with Visions
Afflicting us with fear
Predicting war for millions
In the hope that one appears
No point asking when it is
No point asking who's to go
No point asking what's the game
No point asking who's to blame
'Cause if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die, if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die
Gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die
13 the Beast is Rising
The Frenchman did sunrise
Through earthquakes and starvation
The Warlord will arise
Terror, Death, Destruction
Pour from the Eastern sands
But the truth of all predictions
Is always in your hands
No point asking when it is
No point asking who's to go
No point asking what's the game
No point asking who's to blame
'Cause if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die, if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die
Gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die
They die, with their false storm... It's the game... They die !
They die, with their... with their false storm... They die !
We die ! We die ! We die ! We die ! We die !
No point asking when it is
No point asking who's to go
No point asking what's the game
No point asking who's to blame
'Cause if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die, if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die
Gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die
If you're gonna die... die !
13. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
I've been looking so long for you now, you won't get away from my grasp
You've been living so long in hiding, in hiding behind that false mask
You know and I know that you ain't got that long to last
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past
Standing in the wings there, you wait for the curtain to fall
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all
I know that you're gonna scratch me and maim me and maul
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call
Keep your distance, walk away
Don't take this bait, don't you stray, don't fade away
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may
Don't you stray from the narrow way
I'm running and hiding, in my dreams you are always there
You're the phantom of the opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare
You damaged my mind and my soul just floats through the air
You haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair
...Torture me back at your fair !
14. THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
"How to you, oh Earth and Sea, for the devil sends the Beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short.
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the Beast for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty six"
(Revelations, chapter XIII, V. 18)
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to get the memories from my mind
What did I see, can I believe that what I saw
That night was real and not just fantasy
Just what I saw in my old dream were they
Reflections of my warped mind staring back at me
'Cause in my dreams it's always there,
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair
Night was black, was no use holding back
'Cause I just have to see was someone watching me
In the mist, dark figures move and twist
Was all this for real or just some kind of Hell
666, the number of the Beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry, hands held to the sky
In the night the fires are burning bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
666, the number of the Beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight
This can't go on, I must inform the law
Can this still be real or some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerise me... Can't avoid their eyes
666, the number of the Beast
666, the one for you and me
I'm coming back, I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire, I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take it's course
15. HALLOWED BE THY NAME
I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
'Cause at five o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low... running low...
When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be there's been some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears flow but why am I crying
After all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me go ?
As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the ends is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul 'cause it's willing to fly away
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion
Yeah... Hallowed be thy name
Yeah... Hallowed be thy name
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I'm goin' fast
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I just can't left
She walked up to me and really stole my heart
And then she started to take my body apart
Livin', lovin', wild on the run
So far away from you
Livin', lovin', wild on the run
So far away from you
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I just can't left
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I'm goin' fast
It's only just a moment but she's turning paranoid
That is not a situation for a hearted nervous boy
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I'm goin' fast
Doctor, doctor please, don't you know I just can't left
But you look so angry as I crawled across your floor
She's got the strength, and just can't take any more
Livin', lovin', wild on the run
So far away from you
Livin', lovin', wild on the run
So far away from you
Wild on the run

If you're gonna die, if you're gonna die
If you're gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die
Gonna die, die with your boots on
If you're gonna try, well stick around
Gonna cry, just move along
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die
If you're gonna die... die !
13. PHANTOM OF THE OPERA
I've been looking so long for you now, you won't get away from my grasp
You've been living so long in hiding, in hiding behind that false mask
You know and I know that you ain't got that long to last
Your looks and your feelings are just the remains of your past
Standing in the wings there, you wait for the curtain to fall
Knowing the terror and holding you have on us all
I know that you're gonna scratch me and maim me and maul
You know I'm helpless from your mesmerising cat call
Keep your distance, walk away
Don't take this bait, don't you stray, don't fade away
Watch your step, he's out to get you, come what may
Don't you stray from the narrow way
I'm running and hiding, in my dreams you are always there
You're the phantom of the opera, you're the devil, you're just out to scare
You damaged my mind and my soul just floats through the air
You haunt me, you taunt me, you torture me back at your lair
...Torture me back at your fair !
14. THE NUMBER OF THE BEAST
"How to you, oh Earth and Sea, for the devil sends the Beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short.
Let him who hath understanding reckon the number of the Beast for it is a human number, its number is six hundred and sixty six"
(Revelations, chapter XIII, V. 18)
I left alone, my mind was blank
I needed time to get the memories from my mind
What did I see, can I believe that what I saw
That night was real and not just fantasy
Just what I saw in my old dream were they
Reflections of my warped mind staring back at me
'Cause in my dreams it's always there,
The evil face that twists my mind and brings me to despair
Night was black, was no use holding back
'Cause I just have to see was someone watching me
In the mist, dark figures move and twist
Was all this for real or just some kind of Hell
666, the number of the Beast
Hell and fire was spawned to be released
Torches blazed and sacred chants were praised
As they start to cry, hands held to the sky
In the night the fires are burning bright
The ritual has begun, Satan's work is done
666, the number of the Beast
Sacrifice is going on tonight
This can't go on, I must inform the law
Can this still be real or some crazy dream
But I feel drawn towards the chanting hordes
They seem to mesmerise me... Can't avoid their eyes
666, the number of the Beast
666, the one for you and me
I'm coming back, I will return
And I'll possess your body and I'll make you burn
I have the fire, I have the force
I have the power to make my evil take it's course
15. HALLOWED BE THY NAME
I'm waiting in my cold cell when the bell begins to chime
Reflecting on my past life and it doesn't have much time
'Cause at five o'clock they take me to the Gallows Pole
The sands of time for me are running low... running low...
When the priest comes to read me the last rites
I take a look through the bars at the last sights
Of a world that has gone very wrong for me
Can it be there's been some sort of error
Hard to stop the surmounting terror
Is it really the end not some crazy dream
Somebody please tell me that I'm dreaming
It's not easy to stop from screaming
But words escape me when I try to speak
Tears flow but why am I crying
After all I'm not afraid of dying
Don't I believe that there never is an end
As the guards march me out to the courtyard
Somebody cries from a cell "God be with you"
If there's a God then why has he let me go ?
As I walk all my life drifts before me
And though the ends is near I'm not sorry
Catch my soul 'cause it's willing to fly away
Mark my words please believe my soul lives on
Please don't worry now that I have gone
I've gone beyond to see the truth
When you know that your time is close at hand
Maybe then you'll begin to understand
Life down there is just a strange illusion
Yeah... Hallowed be thy name
Yeah... Hallowed be thy name
