The Angel And The Gambler
(Harris)
Roll of the dice take a spin of the wheel
Out of your hands now so how do you feel
But you're not gonna win you'd better go back again
Do you feel lucky or do you feel scared
Take what luck brings and be Devil may care
But you're down on your luck and what will the next day bring
Adrift on the ocean
Afloat in a daydream
Or lost in a mace
Or blind in the haze
So what does it matter
So why don't you answer
So why did you send
An angel to mend
Best make decisions before it's too late
Take all your chances take hold of the reins
A roll of the dice ahead of the game again
Nothing to lose but so much to gain
A little danger it goes without saying
But what do you care you're gonna go in the end
Gate open to heaven
Is ready and waiting
Or straight down to hell
Can go there as well
I'll suffer my craving
My soul's not worth saving
So why don't you go
Just leave well alone
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life There's like a hunger that knocks on your door
You've had the taste of it still you want more
You've made your mistakes won't play it the same again
You have been warned but still you plunge in
You play high stakes but there's nothing to win
You've only one life and so many things to learn
The Angel on one side
The Devil the other
Which path do you take
Decisions to make
Arrive at the crossroads
You know where you're going
And what if you wait
It may be too late
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life
Don't you think I'm a saviour
Don't you think I could save you
Don't you think I could save your life |
| Blood On The World's Hands
(Harris)
Blaze: This is called 'Blood On the World's Hands'
Sometimes it makes me wonder
Sometimes it makes me question
Sometimes it makes me saddened
Always it makes me angry but ...
When you can see it happening
The madness that's all around you
Nobody seens to worry
The World seens so powerless to act ...
It's out of control
Blood on The World's hands
Each day a new toll Another assassination
The same day a new creation
But what are they coming into
Security of a world that brings ...
One day another killing
Somewhere there's someone starving
Another a savage raping
Somewhere someone laughing at us
It's out of control
Blood on the world's hands
Each day it goes on and on and on and on
Blood on the world's hands
Blood on the world's hands
Blood on the world's hands
Blood on the world's hands
Yeah! Come on, come on
Yeeaah!
Blood on the world's hands
Blood on the world's hands
Blood on the world's hands
Blood on the world's hands Brutality and aggression
Tomorrow another lesson
Expecting another air raid
Praying for a ceasefire ...
They say things are getting better
No need to be complacent
Chaos across the border
And one day it could be happening to us
It's out of control
Blood on the world's hands
It's our epitaph
It's out of control
Someone should know
Blood on the world's hands Someone should...

| The Aftermath
(Bayley, Gers, Harris)
Silently to silence fall
In the fields of futile war
Toys of death are spitting lead
Where boys that were our soldiers bled
War horse and war machine
Curse the name of liberty
Marching on as if they should
Mix in the dirt our brothers' blood
In the mud and rain
What are we fighting for
Is it worth the pain
It is worth dying for
Who will take the blame
Why did they make a war
Questions that come again
Should we be fighting at all
Once a ploughtman hitched his team
Here he sowed his little cream
Now bodies arms and legs are strewn
Where mustard gas and barbwire blooom
Each moment's like a year
I've nothing left inside for tears
Comrades dead or dying lie
I'm left alone asking why
In the mud and rain
What are we fighting for
Is it worth the pain
It is worth dying for
Who will take the blame
Why did they make a war
Questions that come again
Should we be fighting at all
After the war
Left feeling no one has won
After the war
What does a soldier become
After the war
Left feeling no one has won
After the war
What does a soldier become What is it ... after the war and no one has won,
I'm just a soldier!!!
After the war
Left feeling no one has won
After the war
What does a soldier become
After the war
Left feeling no one has won
After the war
What does a soldier become
Ooooooh! Oooh! |
| Man On The Edge
(Bayley, Gers)
The freeway is jammed
And it's backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve we just don't get you see
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven, are they looking down
Nothing is fair just you look around
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down He's sick of waiting of lying like this
There's a hole in the sky for the angels to kiss
Branded a leper because you don't fit
In the land of the free
You just live by your wits
Once he built missiles a nation's defense
Now he can't even give birthday presents
Across the city he leaves in his wake
A glimpse of the future, a canibal state
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down The freeway is jammed
And it's backed up for miles
The car is an oven and baking is wild
Nothing is ever the way it should be
What we deserve we just don't get you see
A briefcase, a lunch and a man on the edge
Each step gets closer to losing his head
Is someone in heaven, are they looking down
Nothing is fair just you look around
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down
Falling down |
| Afraid To Shoot Strangers
(Harris)
Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not the fear 'cause I'd rather go now
Trying to visualize the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert sand mound a burial ground
When it comes to the time are we partners in crime?
When it comes to the time we'll be ready to die
God, let us go now and finish what's to be done
Thy Kingdom Come, thy shall be done... on earth
Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should we live and let live, forget or forgive
But how can we let them go on this way?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there's no other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers |
