"The Preacher"

"The Preacher"



Would you let this stranger take your hand
Do you think he sees the promised land
Holy fire, holy water

Anoint the faithful break the sacred bread
Will the message get inside your head
Let the Preacher take your hand

Come and stand among the chosen few, oh, oh, oh
Let the Preacher lay his hands on you, woah, oh, oh

Fire and brimstone send you straight to hell
Gather round beneath the mission bell
Holy fire, holy water

Come and stand among the chosen few, oh, oh, oh
Let the Preacher lay his hands on you, woah, oh, oh

See the mighty how they fall from grace
Bring the shame upon this chosen place
Let the healer take your hand

Come and stand among the chosen few, oh, oh, oh
Let the Preacher lay his hands on you, oh, oh, oh

Come and stand among the chosen few, oh, oh, oh
Let the healer lay his hands on you, oh, oh, oh

"The Thin Red Line"

"The Thin Red Line"



You'd better sleep with your rifle
Keep your powder dry
You'll be fighting for your country
See the colours fly
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line

You're the men from Harloch
You'll be standing proud
You're the Queen's light infantry
Sing out loud
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line

You came for the glory
To fight and to die
You stood in the thin red line
Remember the heroes
When stories are told
They died in the thin red line
In the thin red line

Stand steady in the ranks boys
You gotta hold your fire
We'll show 'em what we're made of
When they hit the wire
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line

You'll be thinking of your loved ones
That you left back there
Then the sound of the bugle
Cuts the cool night air
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line

You came for the glory
To fight and to die
You stood in the thin red line
Remember the heroes
When stories are told
They died in the thin red line
In the thin red line

Now you lay with your comrades
Far across the sea
Where you're fighting for the Empire
Did you die for me
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line

You'd better sleep with your rifle
Keep your powder dry
You'll be fighting for your country
See the colours fly
They'll be coming in the morning boys
You gotta hold the line

You came for the glory
To fight and to die
You stood in the thin red line
Remember the heroes (remember the heroes)
When stories are told
They died in the thin red line

You came for the glory (you came for the glory)
To fight and to die
You stood in the thin red line
Remember the heroes (remember the heroes)
When stories are told
They died in the thin red line
In the thin red line

"This Town Rocks"

"This Town Rocks"



Does this town know how to rock

This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock

We're gonna Saxonize
You're gonna vandalize your soul
It does no good to sit there
Stand up and rock 'n' roll
We know what your doin' here
We'll start a ballroom blitz
So come on down and rock with us
We'll blow this town to bits

Well I ain't seen a crowd like this
Since nineteen seventy four
I wanna see you rock tonight
We're gonna lock the doors, yaya
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock

I've walked the streets of London
And I've been to Tokyo
I've seen the Coliseum
And I've grasped the Berlin wall
I've heard the bands of Scotland
I've seen the Alpine snow
I've crossed the Mississippi
I've touched the Alamo

Well I ain't seen a crowd like this
Since nineteen seventy four
I wanna see you rock tonight
We're gonna lock the doors, yaya
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town...

This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town...
Does this town know how to rock

"Till Hell Freezes Over"

"Till Hell Freezes Over"



We're on a one way street
Going down the wrong way
We're trying to swim upstream
Against the raging tide
We're on an uphill climb
Right into the headwind
We're standing on thin ice
Fighting for our lives

It's been a hard road
And we're never going back
Till hell freezes over
Till hell freezes over

We're on a crazy ride
Going where the wind blows
We're on the crumbling edge
Waiting for the fall
We're trying to keep it cool
Walking on a tight rope
We're hanging on thin thread
Trying to survive

It's been a hard road
And we're never going back
Till hell freezes over
Till hell freezes over

"To Hell And Back Again"

"To Hell And Back Again"



How long must I stay
How long must I go on
Taking my chances on burning away
Don't take away my daylight
Don't take away my dream

Why must I go
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again

Will I make the morning
To see another day
The Gods may come at midnight
They're taking me away
I'm waiting here on death row
I pray for my reprieve

Why must I go
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again

The chaplain and the gardener
Have told me how to die
I've used up all my chances
Now's the time to cry
For I can hear the footsteps
The lights have just gone dim
I'm on the final journey

Why must I go
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again

Will I make the morning
To see another day
The Gods may come at midnight
They're taking me away
I'm waiting here on death row
I pray for my reprieve

Why must I go
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again

The chaplain and the gardener
Have told me how to die
I've used up all my chances
Now's the time to cry
For I can hear the footsteps
The lights have just gone dim
I'm on the final journey

Why must I go
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again
To hell and back again

"To Live By The Sword"

"To Live By The Sword"


To follow the code of honour
Die with a sword in your hand
That is the way of the warrior
Your forefathers left on the land

To live by the sword
You must die by the sword

Trained in the way of the masters
Disciples of conflict and war
The blade of and the bow are your weapons
Your brothers have fought here before

Forged in the land of the shogun
A blade of unbreakable steel
The samurai spirit is with you
To battle you carry their seal

[Chorus:]
To live by the sword
You must die by the sword
Warriors born to be free
To live by the sword
You must die by the sword
Warriors born to be free
To live by the sword

Born in the shadows of Fuji
From out of the ashes you rise
To fight on the side of the emperor
Like many before you that died

You courage can never be broken
Warriors fearless and brave
You follow the ancient traditions
Sworn to your ancestors grave

[Repeat chorus]

To live by the sword
To die by the sword
Warriors free
To live and die by the sword

To follow the code of honour
Die with a sword in your hand
That is the way of the warrior
Your forefathers left on the land
The samurais spirir walks with you
A blade of unbreakable steel
Forged in the land of the shogun
To battle you carry their seal

"Unleash The Beast"

"Unleash The Beast"



Danger inside deep in your mind
Beware of the Beast that's within you
In towers of stone he walks alone
Close to the edge of your dreams

Shrouded in time the end of your line
The curse of the past walks among you
In temples of gold the myth will unfold
Your destiny waits there for you

Unleash the Beast
The time has come
Feel the fire in your soul
It's time
Unleash the Beast

In pages of old when fables were told
Of a time when the beast was among you
In dark gothic rooms you search for the runes
To break from the spell that still binds you

Deep in the mist you just can't resist
To follow the path that will free you
Like grains of sand that slip through your hand
The end of the curse still eludes you

Unleash the Beast
The time has come
Feel the fire in your soul
It's time
Unleash the Beast

Unleash the Beast
The time has come
Feel the fire in your soul
It's time
Unleash the Beast
Unleash the Beast

Danger inside deep in your mind
Beware of the Beast that's within you
In towers of stone he walks alone
Close to the edge of your dreams

Unleash the Beast
The time has come
Feel the fire in your soul
It's time

Unleash the Beast
The time has come
Feel the fire in your soul
It's time
Time

Unleash the Beast

"Valley Of The Kings"

"Valley Of The Kings"



You must journey across the sea
Find the secret destiny
Burning sand scorching sun
To the land of the ancient one
The hidden tomb the last in line
Lost forever in sands of time
Find the key unlock the past
You have no choice this is your task

In the valley of the kings
There he waits on golden wings
Break the seal and set him free
The golden one your destiny

Waiting there for you to come
A royal prince the chosen one
Move the stone unleash the past
The one you seek you'll find at last
The boyhood king he walks the past
He hides behind his golden mask
Deep inside his tomb of gold
The greatest story ever told

In the valley of the kings
There he waits on golden wings
Break the seal and set him free
The golden one your destiny

Dig my friends set him free
Read the words the prophecy
Death will come on swiftest wings
Whoever moves this sleeping king
Carved in stone the book of death
The pharaohs curse will take your breath

Death will come on swiftest wings
For those who move this sleeping king
Heed you now the book of death
Beware the curse with every step
Shine the light the glint of gold
With racing hearts the past unfolds
Open now for all to see
A pharaohs tomb your legacy

In the valley of the kings
There he waits on golden wings
Break the seal and set him free
The chosen one your destiny

In the valley of the kings
There he waits on golden wings
Break the seal and set him free
The chosen one your legacy

"Voice"

"Voice"



You called my name
Deep in the coldest blackest night
You saved my life
I heard your voice deep in the night
But in my nightmare I start to scream
In my nightmare this is no dream

Who called my name who saved my life
Deep in the night I heard your voice

I saw the flames
I watched our memories turn to dust
I saw them burn
I walked away not looking back
But in my nightmare I start to scream
In my nightmare this is no dream
This is no dream

Who called my name who saved my life
Deep in the night I heard your voice

Wake up, wake up, wake up

In my nightmare I start to scream
In my nightmare this is no dream

Sometimes I wake
I see the fire in the night
It's only dreams
I hear your voice deep in the night
But in my nightmare I start to scream
In my nightmare this is no dream

Who called my name who saved our lives
Deep in the night I heard your voice
Who called my name who saved my lives
Deep in the night I heard your voice

"Waiting For The Night"

"Waiting For The Night"


You got me spinning, spinning around
I don't know if I'm up or I'm down
I'm coming back to you tonight

My pulse is racing, I'm out of control
My body's aching, it's taken it's toll
I'm coming back to you tonight

This darn freeway's driving me insane
I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain
I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night
I'm waiting...bring on the night

My heart is pounding, I need you so much
My body's yearning, I long for your touch
I'm coming back to you tonight

I can't wait a minute longer
Every second the feeling get stronger
Coming back to you tonight

This darn freeway's driving me insane
I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain
I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night
I'm waiting...bring on the night (bring on the night)

You got me spinning, spinning around
I don't know if I'm up or I'm down
I'm coming back to you tonight

I can't wait a minute longer
Every second the feeling's stronger
Coming back to you tonight

This darn freeway's driving me insane
I need a shot, a shot to ease the pain
I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night
I'm waiting...bring on the night

I'm waiting...I'm waiting for the night
I'm waiting...bring on the night

Bring on the night
Bring on the night
I'm waiting

Bring on the night
Bring on the night
'Cause tonight I'm coming back to you
I'm waiting
Bring on the night
[Fade]

[Additional lyrics included in liner notes but not in the song]

My mind is drifting, thinking of you
The love you're sending is making it through
I'm coming back to you tonight
The summer sun's still shining bright
Can't last forever, bring on the night
I'm coming back to you tonight
