SIDE A

1. 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


2. 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 hanged man - 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?


3. FLIGHT OF ICARUS

As the sun breaks, above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms, to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still

His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze

Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun

Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
In the name of God my father I fly

His eyes seems so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes to ashes his grave

Fly, on your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun

On your way, like an eagle
Fly and touch the sun
On your way, like an eagle
Fly... Fly as high as the sun


SIDE B

1. QUEST FOR FIRE

In a time when dinosaurs walked the Earth
When the land was swamp and caves where home
In an age when prize possession was fire
To search for landscapes men would roam

Then the tribes they came to steal their fire
And the wolves they howled into the night
As they fought a vicious angry battle
To save the power of warmth and light

Drawn by quest for fire
They searched all through the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man

And they thought that when the embers died away
That the flame of life had burnt and die
Didn't know the sparks that made the fire
Were made by rubbing stick and stone

So they ploughed through forest and swamps of danger
And they though the cannibal tribes and beasts
In the search to find another fire
To regain the power of light and heat

Drawn by quest for fire
They searched across the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man


2. TO TAME A LAND

He his the king of all the land
In the kingdom of the sands
Of a time tomorrow

He rules the sandworms and the freemen
In a land amongst the stars
Of an age tomorrow

He his destined to be a king
He rules over everything
On the land called planet Dune

Body water is your life
And without it you would die
In the desert the planet Dune

Without a stillsuit you would fry
On the sands so hot and dry
In a world called Arrakis

It is a land that's rich in spice
The sandriders and the mice
That they call the Muad Dib

He his the Kwisatz Haderach
He his born of Caladan
And will take the Gom Jabbar

He has the power to foresee
Or to look into the past
He his the ruler of the stars

The time will come for him to lay claim his crown
And then the foe yes they'll be cut down
You'll see he'll be the best that there's been
Messiah supreme, true leader of men

And when the time for judgement's at hand
Don't fret he's strong, he'll make a stand
Against evil the fire that spreads through the land
He has the power to make it all end
