1. 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


2. 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


3. 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


4. CAN I PLAY WITH MADNESS

Can I play with madness?

Give me the sense to wonder, to wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder, to know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up spit back in their face
Don't need no key to unlock this door, gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place...

Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me, he said
Can I play with madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see
Oh, he said you're too blind to see

I screamed aloud to the old man, I said don't lie, don't say you don't know
I say you'll pay for this mischief in this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance and the Hell fires raged in his eyes
He said do you want to know the truth son. I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in the lake of fire

Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me, he said
Can I play with madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see
Oh, he said you're too blind to see
Oh, "listen to me" said the prophet

Can I play with madness?
The prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness?
There's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness?
The prophet looked and he laughed at me, he said
Can I play with madness?
He said you're blind, too blind to see
Oh, he said you're too blind to see
Can I play with madness?


5. THE WICKER MAN

Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you
He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do
Your tongue was frozen now you've got something to say
The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way

You watch the world exploding every single night
Dancing in the sun a new born in the light
Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death
Hello to eternity and live for every breath

Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come

The ferryman wants his money, you ain't going to give it back
He can push his own boat as you set up off the track
Nothing you can contemplate will ever be the same
Every second is a new spark, sets the universe aflame

You watch the world exploding every single night
Dancing in the sun a new born in the light
Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain
The shadow of the wicker man is rising up again

Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come
Your time will come


6. BRAVE NEW WORLD

Dying Swans twisted wings
Beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life
In this garden of fear
I have seen many things
In a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more
Bring this savage back home

Wilderness house of pain
Makes no sense of it all
Close this mind, dull this brain
Messiah before his fall
What you see is not real
Those who know will not tell
All is lost, sold your souls
To this brave new world

A brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world
In a brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world

Dragon Kings Dying Queens
Where is salvation now ?
Lost my life, lost my dreams
Rip the bones from my flesh
Silent screams laughing here
Dying to tell you the truth
You are planned and you are damned
In this brave new world

A brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world
In a brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world

A brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world
In a brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world
In a brave new world
A brave new world

Dying Swans twisted wings
Bring this savage back home


7. WILDEST DREAMS

I'm gonna organise some changes in my life
I'm gonna exorcise the demons of my past
I'm gonna take the car and hit the open road
I'm feeling ready to just open up and go

And I just feel I can be anything
That I might ever wish to be
And fantasize just what I want to be
Make my wildest dreams come true

I'm on my way, out on my own again
I'm on my way, out on the road again

When I remember back to how that things just used to be
And I was struck inside a shroud of misery
I felt I disappeared so deep inside myself
I couldn't find a way to break away the Hell

When I'm feeling down and low
I vow I'll never be the same again
I just remember what I am
And visualize just what I'm gonna be

I'm on my way, out on my own again
I'm on my way, I'm gonna break away

I'm gonna break away
I'm out on my own
I'm out on my own
Gonna break away
Break them away

I'm on my way, out on my own again
I'm on my way, out on the road again
I'm on my way, out on my own again
I'm on my way, I'm gonna break away


8. NO MORE LIES

There's a darkening sky before me
There's no time to prepare
Salvage a last horizon
But no regrets from me

Maybe I'll be back some other day
To live again just who can say
In what shape or form that I might be
Just another chance for me

A hurried time, no disgrace
Instead of racing to conclusion
And wishing all my life away
No one can stop me now

Time is up, it couldn't last
But there's more things I'd like to do
I'm coming back to try again
Someday maybe I'll wait 'till then

No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies!
No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies!

They're all sitting at my table
Talking tall and drinking wine
Their time is up just like me
But they just don't know it yet

So just a word of warning
When you're in your deepest dreams
There's nothing you can hide from
I've got my eye on you

The clock is fast, the hour is near
Eventful past is ever clear
My life is set, the time is here
I think I'm coming home

No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies!
No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies!

A hurried time, no disgrace
Instead of racing to conclusion
And wishing all your life away
No one can stop me now

Time is up, it couldn't last
But there's more things I have to do
I'm coming back to try again
Don't tell me that this is the end

No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies!
No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies!
No more lies! No more lies!

No more lies


9. RAINMAKER

When I was wandering in the desert and was searching for the truth
I heard a choir of Angels calling out my name
I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again
I turn my face towards the barren sun

And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me
And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
And the cracks in our lives like the cracks upon the ground
They are sealed and are now washed away

You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away

You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears

And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me
And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
And the cracks in the clouds like the cracks are in our lives
They are sealed and are now far away

You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away
You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears

You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away
You tell me we can start the rain
You tell me that we all can change
You tell me we can find something to wash the tears

And I know of the pain that you feel the same as me
And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves
And the cracks in the clouds like the cracks are in our lives
They are sealed and are now far away


10. JOURNEYMAN

From the red sky of the East to the sunset in the West
We have cheated death and he has cheated us

But that was just a dream and this is what it means
We are sleeping and we'll dream for evermore

And the fragment remains of our memories
And the shadows we made with our hands
Deeper grey came to mourn, all the colours of the dawn
Will this journeyman's day be his last

I know what I want and I say what I want and no one can take it away
I know what I want and I say what I want and no one can take it away
I know what I want and I say what I want and no one can take it away
I know what I want and I say what I want and no one can take it away

But the memory still remains all the past years not so strange
Our winter times are like a silent shroud

And the heartbeat of the day drives the mist away
And winter's not the only dream around

In your life you may choose desolation
And the shadows you build with your hands
If you turn to the light that is burning in the night
Then your journeyman's day has begun

I know what I want and I say what I want and no one can take it away
I know what I want and I say what I want and no one can take it away
I know what I want and I say what I want and no one can take it away
I know what I want and I say what I want and no one can take it away

In your life you may choose desolation
And the shadows you build with your hands
If you turn to the light that is burning in the night
Then your journeyman's day has begun

I know what I want and I say what I want and no one can take it away
I know what I want and I say what I want and no one can take it away
I know what I want and I say what I want and no one can take it away
I know what I want and I say what I want and no one can take it away
