"S.O.S."

"S.O.S."


The band played and the cameras turned
As the bottle smashed on her bow
The flagship of the gilded age
Moved slowly out to sea
Never had such luxury
Been seen afloat before
They said she was unsinkable
The fools were wrong once more

S. - S.O.S.
We're sinking fast
You better get to the boats
S. - S.O.S.
The captain cried
For God sakes save your souls

Sailing on into the night
Toward the northern star
Laughter rang, people danced
Under crystal chandeliers
No one sensed the danger
In the unforgiving sea
Steaming into legend
A voyage into history

S. - S.O.S.
We're sinking fast
You better get to the boats
S. - S.O.S.
The captain cried
For God sakes save your souls

2000 tortured souls cry out
Cry out from their sleep
Damned to spend eternity
Travelers of the deep

S. - S.O.S.
We're sinking fast
You better get to the boats
S. - S.O.S.
The captain cried
For God sakes save your souls

"Sacrifice"

"Sacrifice"


Sacrifice [spoken]

Hail to the gods, the bringers of fortune
Worship the sun, the giver of light
Follow the steps, that lead you to heaven
Sacrifice waits for your beating heart

Blood on stone
Holy priest
No escape
No release

Sacrifice
Sacrifice

Enter the temple, the alter of stone
Appeasing your gods, you give them your life
Eyes open wide, the priest stands above you
Held in his hands, your still beating heart

Blood on stone
Holy priest
No escape
No release

Sacrifice
sacrifice

ooh ohh ohhh ohhh
ohh ohh ohhh ohhh
ohh ohh ohhh ohhh
ohh ohh ohhh ohhh

Civilization lost in the jungle
Forgotten in time, the cities of gold
Carved in the stone, the stories before you
The succubus claim your still beating heart

Blood on stone
Holy priest
No escape
No release

Sacrifice
Sacrifice
Sacrifice
Sacrifice
SACRIFICE...

"Sailing To America"

"Sailing To America"



Excitement in the air
There's a journey to prepare
They check the food and water's all on board
They're waiting for the tide
The sails are open wide
They're sailing to a better place to dwell

They're sailing to America
Fly the banners high
They're sailing to America
Set the rigging high

The quayside's full of friends
A farewell in their hands
No-one knows if they'll reach the shore
As Plymouth slips away
They'll not be back again
They're sailing off towards the promised land

They're sailing to America
Fly the banners high
They're sailing to America
Set the rigging high

They're sailing to America
Fly the banners high

The Mayflower's on her way
Set sail for many days
The lookout searching for the distant shore
Anchored in the surf
Their journey's at an end
The pilgrims set their feet on virgin land

They're sailing to America
Fly the banners high
They're sailing to America
Set the rigging high

"Sea Of Life"

"Sea Of Life"



A single silent bullet
Flying through the air
Will it find it's target
Fate will take it there
Who's name is written on it
No one has a clue
Will it find a victim
Could be you
I have seen the angel
The messenger of death
Riding out across the crimson sky
He comes to take another soul
Away from the sanctuary
He who plays the game
Must surely die

But someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
Someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
Sea of life
Sea of life

Your life is held in balance
On a slender silken thread
Weaving through the tapestries of time
We can walk the road together
Can you take me by the hand
Maybe we can find your promised land
I can hear the darkness falling
Somewhere in the night
Reaching out across the cold black sky
Could this be a twist of fate
Your written destiny
Or could the angel simply pass you by

Someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
Someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
Sea of life
Sea of life

Someone has to pay the ferryman
To sail across the sea of life
To sail across the sea of life

A single silent bullet
Flying through the air
Will it find it's target
Fate will take it there
Who's name is written on it
No one has a clue
Will it find a victim
Could be you

Could be you
Could be you
Could be you
Could be, could be you

Sea of life
Could be you
Sea of life
Could be, could be you
Sea of life
Could be you
Sea of life
Could be you
Sea of life
Could be you
Sea of life
Could be, could be you
Sea of life
Could be, could be, could be you
Sea of life

"Searching For Atlantis"

"Searching For Atlantis"


Here we stand underneath a blood red sky
To seek the answer we're all looking for
We build our lives but there's no certainty
They won't be washed away like castles in the sand

[Chorus:]
We're still searching for Atlantis
We're all looking for our shangrila
Searching for Atlantis

Looking back you can't change a thing
In your mind there lies the key
There are many doors that you'll be passing through
Down the winding road to find your xanadu

[Repeat chorus]

You walk the path towards your destiny
Through twists and turns to reach your journey's end
We build our lives but there's no certainty
They won't be washed away like castles in the sand

"Set Me Free"
(originally by Sweet)

"Set Me Free"
(originally by Sweet)



Gagged, balled and chained
Feels just the same
Hands on the wall
Maybe you're just playin' games
Set me free

Mauled by a hound
Hangin' around
Is this for real
I don't know when I'll be found
Set me free

Set me free
Set me free from you

Taken by force
By you of course
Far from my bed
I know I'd rather be dead
Set me free

Set me free
Set me free from you

Fire in my brain
Burn me insane
Making your mark
Don't leave me here in the dark
Set me free

Call me a Saint
That's what I ain't
Inside my head
Maybe I'd feel better dead
Set me free

Set me free
Set me free from you

Set me free

"Shadows On The Wall"

"Shadows On The Wall"



In a desert valley
Near the Rio Grande
Through the sun baked wasteland
Cross the burning sand
On the edge of nowhere
In a hidden place
They were looking for the answer
To the power of the sun

From out of the sky came the burning death
Could anyone foresee
The raging terror coming from above
To erase humanity
In a blinding flash came the fireball
Melting skin and bone
It was a mighty city just blown away
Like dust before a storm

There is no city
There are no people
There's only shadows on the wall
Where is the city
Where are the people
There's only shadows on the wall

Children were playing in Los Alamos
Nuclear fusion critical mass
Start a chain reaction
Build the doomsday toy
Split the tiny atom
Your littly boy

There is no city
There are no people
There's only shadows on the wall
Where is the city
Where are the people
There's only shadows on the wall

It was a clear blue morning
On the fatefull day
Silver wings of destruction
The enola gay
Unleash the awesome power
Release it from it's cage
Opening the doorway
To the nuclear age

There is no city
There are no people
There's only shadows on the wall
Where is the city
Where are the people
There's only shadows on the wall

"Sixth Form Girls"

"Sixth Form Girls"



Sixth form can't get out at night
They keep them in, it's an awful sin
Should set them free and let them roam

The lights inside their dormitory
When they go black you sneak away
The plans are set but don't go yet
They run down town to join the crowds

They're leaving school behind
They meet the boys from the factory
They're staying out all night, all night

Sixth form girls they're looking good
Skin tight jeans
They're out for fun
They drink wine late at night

Meet some man who'll make them laugh
Buy them drinks and make a pass
Take them back to a penthouse flat

The lights inside their dormitory
When they go black you sneak away
The plans are set but don't go yet
They run down town to join the crowds

Sixth form girls take their pick of men
They're learning fast the ways of love
Just sixteen, teenage dream

Sixth form can't get out at night
They keep them in, it's an awful sin
Should set them free and let them roam

The lights inside their dormitory
When they go black you sneak away
The plans are set but don't go yet
They run down town to join the crowds

"Slow Lane Blues"

"Slow Lane Blues"



I was driving down the route doing 185
Just me and my friends out for a drive
I should have seen the trouble looming ahead
Should have known better I was into the red
But I never saw the gun I never saw the law
Hiding in back of a 4 by 4

Caught on a photograph guilty of driving fast
But some days you've got to lose
I'm in the slow lane I've got the slow lane blues
Slow lane blues

They took me to the side and gave me some grief
Said I was crazy I couldn't believe
Good cop bad cop they played the routine
They took away my car I tossed them the keys
Their was nothing on the road when I gave it the gas
I never saw the law we were having a blast

Caught on a photograph guilty of driving fast
But some days you've got to lose
I'm in the slow lane I've got the slow lane blues
I gotta blues

They said I had it coming a matter of time
Driving like a fool ignoring the signs
But I never saw the gun I never saw the law
Hiding in the back of a 4 by 4

Caught on a photograph guilty of driving fast
But some days you've got to lose
I'm in the slow lane
I was caught on a photograph guilty of driving fast
But some days you've got to lose
I'm in the slow lane I've got the slow lane blues
