U K R E L E A S E # 1
1. 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 dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom a 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 on the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good indians are tame
Selling them whisky and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills run for your lives
(repeat to end)
2. CHILDREN OF THE DAMNED
He's walking like a small child
But watch his eyes burn you away
Black holes in his golden stare
God knows he wants to go home
Children of the damned
(repeat another 3 times)
He's walking like a dead man
If he had lived he would have crucified us all
Now he's standing on the last step
He thought oblivion well it beckons us all
Children of the damned
(repeat another 3 times)
Now it burns his hand he's turning to laugh
Smiles as the flame sears his flesh
Melting his face screaming in pain
Peeling the skin from his eyes
Watch him die according to plan
He's dust on the ground what did we learn
You're children of the damned
Your back's against the wall
You turn into the light
You're burning in the night
You're children of the damned
Like candles watch them burn
Burning in the light
You'll burn again tonight
You're children of the damned
3. TOTAL ECLIPSE
Cold as steel the darkness waits it's hour will come.
A cry of fear from our children worshipping the sun.
Mother nature's black revenge on those who waste her life.
War babies in the garden of eden,
Shall turn our ashes to ice.
Sunrise has gone freezing up the fires.
Sunrise has gone numbing our desires.
Around the world the people stop,
With terror stricken eyes.
A shadow cast upon them all,
To crush them like a fly.
In the icy rain and whiplashed seas,
There's nowhere left to run.
The hammer blows of winter fall like a hurricane.
Around the world the nations wait,
For some wise word from their leading light.
You know it isn't only madmen who listen to fools.
Is this the end, the millions cried,
Clutching their riches as they died.
Those who survive must weather the storm.
Gone are the days when man looked down.
They've taken away his sacred crown.
To be set free, it took so long.
It's not journeys' end, it's just begun.
4. RUN TO THE HILLS (VIDEO)
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 dustclouds and barren wastes
Galloping hard on the plains
Chasing the redskins back to their holes
Fighting them at their own game
Murder for freedom a 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 on the barren wastes
Hunting and killing their game
Raping the women and wasting the men
The only good indians are tame
Selling them whisky and taking their gold
Enslaving the young and destroying the old
Run to the hills run for your lives
(repeat to end)

2. 22, ACACIA AVENUE
If you're feeling down depressed and lonely
I know a place where we can go
22 Acacia Avenue, meet a lady that I know
So if you're looking for a good time
And you're prepared to pay the price
Fifteen quid is all she ask for
Everybody's got their vice
If you're waiting for a long time
for the rest to do their piece
You can tell her that you know me
and you might even get it free
So any time you're down the East End
don't you hesitate to go
You can take my honest word for it
she'll teach you more than you can know
Charlotte isn't it time you stopped all this mad life
Don't you ever think about the bad times
Why do you have to live this way
Do you enjoy the lay or is it the pay
Sometimes when you're strolling down the avenue
The way you walk, it makes men think
of having you
When you're walking down the street
Everybody stops and turns to stare, at you
22, the avenue, that's the place where we all go
You will find it's warm inside
the red light's burning bright tonight
Beat her, mistreat her, do anything that you please
Bite her, excite her, make her get down
on her knees
Abuse her, misuse her, she can take all
that you've got
Caress her, molest her, she always does what you want
You're running away, don't you know
what you're doing
Can't you see it'll lead you to ruin
Charlotte you've taken your life
and you've thrown it away
You believe that because what you're earning
Your life's good, don't you know that you're hurting
All the people that love you, don't cast them aside
All the men that are constantly drooling
It's no life for you, stop all that screwing
You're packing your bags and you're
coming with me
3. THE PRISONER
I'm on the run kill to eat
You're starving now you're dead on your feet
Going all the way nature's beast
Do what I want and do as I please
Run fight to breathe it's tough
Now you see me now you don't
Break the walls I'm coming out
Not a prisoner I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going ... out
If you kill me it's self defense
If I kill you then I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye I will defy
You'll be afraid when I call out your name
Run fight to breathe it's tough
Now you see me now you don't
Break the walls I'm coming out
Not a prisoner I'm a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don't care where the past was
I know where I'm going ... out
I'm not a number I'm a free man
I'll live my life how I want to
You'd better scratch me from your black book
Cos I'll run rings round you
