Uriah Heep : Wake the Sleeper
Teksty
1. WAKE THE SLEEPER
(Instrumental)
2. OVERLOAD
Tonight you're gonna overload your mind
Move into another world there for you online
A high speed chase that leads to the unknown
Time will disappear so fast for you and you alone
A universe in isolation
Feeding your imagination
No one cares about the role you play
Generations lost in space a million miles away
Life moves faster than the speed of sound
You think you've got complete control
It makes your world go round and round
Digital communication
Feeding your imagination
Coded warning, now you're falling into overload
Countdown started, no way out, hit the motherload
The power that you crave for more and more
You try to understand the things that you are fighting
For when multichannel meltdown gets to you
You'll reach the breakpoint, when it's over
What you gonna do
Seeing your determination
Feeding your imagination
Coded warning, now you're falling into overload
Countdown started, no way out, hit the motherload
A universe in isolation
Feeding your imagination
You're looking for a new sensation
Gotta find a real sensation
Coded warning, now you're falling into overload
Countdown started, no way out, hit the motherload
Into overload
3. TEARS OF THE WORLD
Come and share my moonlit stair
Things of beauty everywhere
So much luck it isn't fair
'cos the tears of the world keep falling
I got the best of everything
A better world I could not dream
You should see what I have seen
As the tears of the world keep falling
(x2)
The tears of the world keep falling
Until we stand together
So much wealth on every face
You're in the fight to win the place
Or are you just a hopeless case?
As the tears of the world keep falling
You'd like to think that it's not cruel
Design your future by their rules
You worship at the feet of fools
While the tears of the world keep falling
(x2)
The tears of the world keep falling
Until we stand together
We pushed our way to reach our goal
Turning silver into gold
We need to take complete control
As the tears of the world keep falling
The great divide we know so well
Will be there at the last farewell
Unless we break this living hell
As the tears of the world keep falling
The tears of the world keep falling
Until we stand together
The tears of the world keep falling
Until we learn to stand together.
4. LIGHT OF A THOUSAND STARS
We stand like brothers under troubled sky
So crazy how we came to live this lie
Cross my heart but I refuse to die
I'm coming home to you
They never gave us any guarantee
All they want to see is bravery
I can't live with this misery
I'm coming home to you
And I don't know who's on whose side
Guide me with your love
[Chorus]
Give me the light of a thousand stars
Shine my way back to you
Show me the road get me over the line
There's no limit to what love can do
Don't need no badge of honor on my sleeve
The fear of dying gonna set me free
A part of you is still a part of me
I'm coming home to you
And I don't know who's on whose side
Guide me with your love
[Chorus]
'cos I keep your picture close to my heart
You're the sweetest thing in this life
And if I ever get back home
I'm gonna fight to keep our dream alive
You know that men are born and men will die
I look at what I am surrounded by
Gotta get out before I lose my mind
I'm coming home to you
[Chorus] (x2)
5. HEAVEN’S RAIN
I look back on those days
At the permanent haze
And the dark that surrounded me
Then good fortune arrived
I saw life in your eyes
You talked about changing views
Freedom to choose
Darkness to light
[Chorus]
There lies the kingdom of beautiful stories
Pure as the heaven's rain
Shine on the heartache, the bitter sweet glory
Shine over everyone
Down the road I would fall
The wrong side of the wall
Sound of madness moved in for the kill
Then good fortune arrived
I saw life in your eyes
You talked about taking me
To a place I should know
Just you and me
[Chorus]
(x2)
Shine over everyone
There's a hole in the sun
Where I wanted to run
There were clouds in the open sea
Then good fortune arrived
I saw life in your eyes
You talked about showing me
A place I should know
Just you and me
[Chorus]
(x3)
Shine over everyone
6. BOOK OF LIES
The story of my life was written there in front of me
The book revealed the lines upon my face
After chapter one the images of better times
Turned into a classic cold embrace
Just throw the book away
[Chorus]
Through your eyes you'll write again
And the book of lies cuts deep into my mind
Did I steal your heart and leave it in the rain?
I'll never know, no I'll never know
It's me I recognize or am I getting in too deep?
It's getting harder now to turn the page
Did I read my name or is it just coincidence
Only what is true will cure my rage
Just throw the book away
[Chorus]
Coming to the end sentences are bitter sweet
Paragraphs that leave me feeling cold
But it's all too late the written word will always be
The essence of how well the story's told
Just throw the book away
[Chorus] (x2)
7. WHAT KIND OF GOD
I rode to my homeland
And carried the memory over the valley below
And the heart of a nation
The war cry was blazing
And the loss of my brothers and sons
Were all in the name of civilization
The empty moon saw I was leaving
With pride and hope in my heart
The mountains talk of faraway dreaming
So came the invasion
Across from a faraway place into the new world
With guns and new order
They gave us religion
Then took away all of our rights and forced
Us to live behind their new border
The four winds blow and bring a new vision
Where children laugh without fear
The land will speak and people will listen
But yesterday my life was fading
With every reason to die
Ten miles to the north
As I rode my red horse in the dying sun
And then when I saw the white soldiers
One hundred or more in a line
Kill for the land
Saying their law will stand
What kind of God do they see?
The fighting is over
No matter what fear they might bring
My country will live
The dust clouds are falling
I stood by the river
And breathing the air that is life
Within the black hills
My spiritual calling
But yesterday my life was fading
With every reason to die
Ten miles to the north
As I rode my red horse in the dying sun
And then when I saw the white soldiers
One hundred or more in a line
Kill for the land
Saying their law will stand
What kind of God do they see?
What kind of God can this be?
8. GHOST OF THE OCEAN
A ghost of the ocean
Tells of the women of the sea
They ran from oppression
In the forgotten history
[Chorus]
No innocents
No leader to defend
No God, no government
And it's hard to believe they were riders
On the sea
Women of fortune
Always to be prepared to die
Blood on a knife edge
Flag of the sea flying high
[Chorus]
A world of action strong and free
Adventure, war and loyalty
The mermaid tyrant loved to fight
She ties the noose and pulls it tight
Treacherous island
Somewhere to hide on no man's land
Ships in the harbor
Waiting to hear the battle plan
[Chorus] (x2)
9. ANGEL WALK
I only know what I'm feeling
Do you know it's true
'cos I've searched for you
'cos I believe in you
Why do we walk in shadows?
While this world falls apart
'cos I'd die for you
'cos I know
Angels walk with you
In my hands I hold nothing
The more I had the less I used
If I'd gone down that road forever
I would not have found you
[Chorus]
And a new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
'cos angels walk with you
If we sit and do nothing
Will the light surely fade?
Can I trust in you forever?
If you show me the way
A new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
'cos angels walk with you
Yeah, walk with you (x2)
'cos I'd die for you
'cos I know
Angels walk with you
(x2)
A new world with a new morning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
A new life with a real meaning
A new sunrise on a brand new day
'cos angels walk with you
10. SHADOW
There is illusion in my mirror
I have to show concern
'cos what is left is right
Don't know which way to turn
And there is someone who is like me
But all they want to do is stare
And he would like to find the key
But I'm not there
[Chorus]
Shadow, nothing but a shadow
Sunlight, never see the sunlight
Power, I got a special power
Shadow, nothing but a shadow
And now I'm moving down the sidewalk
Just staring at the ground
And if I don't look up
The scene will change around
And we are residents of nowhere
What do we really say?
Like a marionette just acting out a play
[Chorus]
I thought I saw a face that I knew
While running through the crowd
Then she turned to look at me
I didn't really feel a thing
Just floating through the air
A trick of light for all to see
[Chorus]
11. WAR CHILD
Open your eyes, you're still here, still safe
At peace in this world, so great, you're free
You don't have to fight for your life
But just say, just say, there's fire from the sky
And you're burning alive
Why all this pain and poison in her mind?
What can you change when hatred made her blind?
Soldiers, no reason to look into her eyes
No one to hold her, no one who really cares
Lifeless expressions, destroyed all conceptions
For children in the street, who's there to help you
When all is forgotten and torn apart by fear?
No one to hold her, no one who really cares
[Chorus]
Oh please, don't cry
Oh no, war child
The struggle for power, that grows by the hour
Like the blood beneath her feet
Despairing with heartache, there must be somebody
To help her in such need
No one to hold her, no one who really cares
[Chorus] (x2)
Open your eyes, you're still here, still safe
At peace in this world, so great, you're free
You don't have to fight for your life, war child
[Chorus] (x3)
(Instrumental)
