Rainmaker
(Murray, Harris, Dickinson) When I was wandering in the desert and I was searching for the truth I heard a choir of angels calling out my name I had the feeling that my life would never be the same again I turn my face towards the barren sun
And I know of the pain, that you feel the same as me And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves And the cracks in our lives like the cracks upon the ground They are sealed and are now washed away
You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away
You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears And I know of the pain, that you feel the same as me And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives They are sealed and now far away
You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away
You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears
You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears away
You tell me we can start the rain You tell me that we all can change You tell me we can find something to wash the tears And I know of the pain, that you feel the same as me And I dream of the rain as it falls upon the leaves And the cracks in the ground like the cracks are in our lives They are sealed and now far away
| | Dance Of Death
(Gers, Harris) 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
Then 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 Death
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 'till I dance with the dead

| | The Wicker Man
(Smith, Harris, Dickinson) Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you He knocks you to your feet so what are you going to do? Your time was frozen now you've got something to say The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way.
You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun a newborn in the light Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death Hello to eternity I'll live for every breath
Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come The ferry man wants his money, you ain't gonna give it back He can push this old boat as you set up off of the track Nothing you can contemplate will ever be the same Every second is a new spark, sets the universe aflame
You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun, a newborn in the light Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain The shadow of the Wicker Man has risen up again.
Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come
Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come Your time will come Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ah oh Wah oh ohhhhhhhh.
| | Children Of The Damned
(Harris) He's walking like a small child
But watch his eyes burn you away
Black holes in his golden stare
God knows he wants to go home
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned He's walking like a dead man
If he had lived he would have crucified us all
Now he's standing on his last step
He thought oblivion well it beckons us all
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned
Children of The Damned Now it burns his hand he's turning to laugh
Smiles as the flame sears his flesh
Melting his face screaming in pain
Peeling the skin from his eyes
Watch him die according to plan
He's dust on the ground what did we learn
You're Children of The Damned
Your back's against the wall
You turn into the light
You're Children of The Damned
Like candles watch them burn
Burning in the light
You'll burn again tonight
You're Children of The Damned
