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 around 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. |
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 scorn divide,
Take not thy thunder from us,
But take away our pride."
(G. K. Chesterton; English Hymnal)
Just
a babe in the 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 that 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 Rose on her lips,
Moonlight catches silver tears I cry,
So we lay in the 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 that tears my spine,
The Eyes of the Nile are opening-you'll see.
Bind
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
Is the Watcher in the Ring,
It is You. |
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 seem 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.

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.
'cos if you're gonna die, if you're gonna die,
'cos 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, just stick around,
Gonna cry, just move along,
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die.
In 13
the Beast is rising,
The Frenchman did surmise,
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.
If you're
gonna die, die with your boots on,
If you're gonna try, just stick around,
Gonna cry, just move along,
If you're gonna die, you're gonna die. |
Still Life
Take
a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths there faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see
They were there oh I know you don't believe me.
Oh...I've
never felt so strange
But...I'm not going insane.
I've
no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do.
Oh...they
drain my strength away
Oh...they're asking me to stay.
Nightmares...spirits
calling me
Nightmares...they won't leave me be.
All
my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool.
Now...I
feel they are so near
I...begin to see them clear
Nightmares...coming
all the time
Nightmares...Will give me peace of mind.
Now
it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into the pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too.
Oh...we'll
drown together
It...will be forever.
Nightmares...forever
calling me
Nightmares...Now we rest in peace. |
Quest For Fire
In
a time when dinosaurs walked the earth
When the land was swamp and caves were 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 died
Didn't know the sparks that made the fire
Were made by rubbing stick and stone.
So they
ploughed through the forest and swamps of danger
And they fought 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.

Sun And Steel
You
killed your first man at 13,
Killer instinct, Animal supreme,
By 16 you had learned to fight
The way of the warrior, you took it as your right.
Sunlight,
falling on your steel,
Death in life is your ideal,
Life is like a wheel, rolling on and on.
Through
earth and water, fire and wind,
you came at last-nothing was the end,
Make a cut by fire and stones,
Take you and your blade and break you both
in two-break you both in two.
Sunlight,
falling on your steel,
Death in life is your ideal,
Life is like a wheel-and it's rolling still.

To Tame a Land
He
is the king of all the land
In the Kingdom of the sands
Of a time tomorrow.
He rules
the sandworms and the Fremen
In a land amongst the stars
Of an age tomorrow.
He is destined
to be a King
He rules over everything
On the land called planet Dune.
Bodywater is
your life
And without it you would die
On 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 is
the Kwizatz Haderach.
He is born of Caladan
And will take the Gom Jabbar.
He has the
power to foresee
Or to look into the past
He is 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
and he'll make a stand,
Against evil and fire
That spreads through the land,
He has the power
to make it all end.
