Wildest
Dreams
I'm gonna organize 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 all 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 stuck inside a
shroud of misery
I felt I'd disappeared so
deep inside myself
I couldn't find a way to
break away my 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
Out on the road again
I'm on my way
Out on my own again
I'm on my way
I'm gonna breakaway
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
Can I play with madness
- he said you're blind 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 your
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
Can I play with madness
- he said you're blind too blind to see
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
Can I play with madness
- he said you're blind too blind to see
Dance Of Death
Let me tell you a story
to chill the bones
About a thing that I saw
One night wandering in the
everglades
I'd one drink but no more
I was rambling, enjoying
the bright moonlight
Gazing up at the stars
Not aware of a presence
so near to me
Watching my every move
Feeling scared and I fell
to my knees
As something rushed me from
the trees
Took me to an unholy place
And that is where I fell
from grace
Then they summoned me over
to join in with them
To the dance of the dead
Into the circle of fire
I followed them
Into the middle I was led
As if time had stopped still
I was numb with fear
But still I wanted to go
And the blaze of the fire
did no hurt upon me
As I walked onto the coals
And I felt I was in a trance
And my spirit was lifted
from me
And if only someone had
the chance
To witness what happened
to me
And I danced and I pranced
and I sang with them
All had death in their eyes
Lifeless figures they were
undead all of them
They had ascended from hell
As I danced with the dead
My free spirit was laughing
and howling down at me
Below my undead body
Just danced the circle of
dead
Until the time came to reunite
us both
My spirit came back down
to me
I didn't know if I was alive
or dead
As the others all joined
in with me
By luck then a skirmish
started
And took the attention away
from me
When they took their gaze
from me
Was the moment that I fled
I ran like hell faster than
the wind
But behind I did not glance
One thing that I did not
dare
Was to look just straight
ahead
When you know that your
time has come around
You know you'll be prepared
for it
Say your last goodbyes to
everyone
Drink and say a prayer for
it
When you're lying in your
sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams
to go dancing with the dead
When you're lying in your
sleep, when you're lying in your bed
And you wake from your dreams
to go dancing with the dead
To this day I guess I'll
never know
Just why they let me go
But I'll never go dancing
no more
'Til I dance with the dead |
Wrathchild
I was born into a scene
of angriness and greed, and dominance and persecution.
My mother was a queen, my
dad I've never seen, I was never meant to be.
And now I spend my time
looking all around,
For a man that's nowhere
to be found.
Until I find him I'm never
gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my man, gonna
travel around.
*Chorus*:
'Cos I'm a wrathchild, well
I'm a wrathchild.
Yeah I'm a wrathchild. I'm
coming to get you, oooh yeah.
Say it doesn't matter ain't
nothin' gonna alter the course of my destination.
I know I've got to find
some serious piece of mind, or I know I'll go crazy.
But now I spend my time
looking all around,
For a man thats nowhere
to be found.
Until I find him I'm never
gonna stop searching,
I'm gonna find my man, gonna
travel around.
*Chorus*
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 horses breath
As I plunge on into 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 pulls 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 |
