No More Lies
(Harris) There's a darkening sky before me, there's no time to prepare Salvage a last horizon, but no regrets from me Maybe I'll be back some other day to live again just who can say In what shape or form that I might be, just another chance for me
A hurried time, no disgrace, instead of racing to conclusions And wishing all my life away, noone can stop me now Time is up, it couldn't last but there's more things I'd like to do I'm coming back to try again someday maybe I'll wait till then
No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! They're all sitting at my table, talking tall and drinking wine Their time is up just like me, but they just don't know it yet So just a word of warning when you're in your deepest dreams There's nothing you can hide from, I've got my eye on you
The clock is fast, the hour is near, eventful past is ever clear My life is set, the time is here, I think I'm coming home
No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! A hurried time, no disgrace, instead of racing to conclusions Wishing all your life away, noone can stop me now Time is up, it couldn't last but there's more things I have to do I'm coming back to try again don't tell me that this is the end
No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies! No more lies!
No more lies! No more lies! No more lies...
| | Paschendale
(Smith, Harris) In a foreign field you lay, lonely soldier, unknown grave On his dying words he prays, tell the world of Paschendale
Relive all that he's been through, last communion of his soul Rust your bullets with his tears, let me tell you about his years
Laying low in a blood-filled trench, killing time 'til my very own death On my face I can feel the falling rain, never see my friends again In the smoke in the mud and lead, smell the fear and the feeling of dread Soon be time to go over the wall, rapid fire and the end of us all Whistles, shouts, and more gun fire, lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb, be reunited with my dead friends soon Many soldiers eighteen years drown in mud no more tears Surely a war noone can win, killing time about to begin
Home, far away from the war, a chance to live again Home, far away but the war, no chance to live again The bodies of ours and our foes, the sea of death it overflows In no man's land God only knows, into jaws of death we go Crucified as if on a cross, allied troops they mourn their loss German war propaganda machine such before has never been seen Swear I heard the angels cry, pray to God no more may die So that people know the truth, tell the tale of Paschendale
Cruelty has a human heart, every man does play his part Terror of the men we kill, the human heart is hungry still I stand my ground for the very last time, gun is ready as I stand in line Nervous wait for the whistle to blow, rush of blood and over we gooooooooo
Blood is falling like the rain, its crimson cloak unveils again The sound of guns can't hide their shame and so we die in Paschendale Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire, running straight at cannon fire Running blind as I hold my breath, say a prayer symphony of death As we charge the enemy lines, a burst of fire and we go down I choke a cry but no-one hears, feel the blood go down my throat
Home, far away from the war, a chance to live again Home, far away but the war, no chance to live again Home, far away from the war, a chance to live again Home, far away but the war, no chance to live again See my spirit on the wind, across the lines beyond the hill Friend and foe will meet again those who died at Paschendale
| | Journeyman
(Smith, Harris, Dickinson) From the red sky of the East to the sunset in the West We have cheated Death and He has cheated us But that was just a dream and this is what it means We are sleeping and we'll dream for evermore
And the fragment remains of our memories And the shadows we made with our hands Deeper grey, came to mourn all the colours of the dawn Will this journeyman's day be his last?
I know what I want, I say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want, I say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want, I say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want, I say what I want And no one can take it away But the memorys still remains, all the past years not so strange Our winter times are like a silent shroud And the heartbeat of the day drives the mist away And winter's not the only dream around
In your life you may choose desolation And the shadows you build with your hands If you turn to the light that is burning in the night Then your journeyman's day has begun
I know what I want, I say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want, I say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want, I say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want, I say what I want And no one can take it away In your life you may choose desolation And the shadows you build with your hands If you turn to the light that is burning in the night Then your journeyman's day has begun
I know what I want, I say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want, I say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want, I say what I want And no one can take it away I know what I want, I say what I want And no one can take it away | | Age Of Innocence... How Old
