SATELLITE 15... THE FINAL FRONTIER
(Smith/Harris) Traducción I try to call the Earth's command Desperation in my voice I'm drifting way off course now With very little choice The loneliness is hard to bear I try to calm my fear Just hoping any second now Some contact filters through Desperate calls... Signal back from Satellite As my life flashes right in front of me Try again...must get through Hear me now... For I've very little time Not much time...hear my call Please get through...I am here I'm stranded in space, I'm lost without trace I haven't a chance of getting away Too close to the sun, I surely will burn Like Icarus before me or so legend goes I think of my life, reliving the past There's nothing but wait 'til my time comes I've had a good life, I'd do it again Maybe I'll come back some time, my friends For I have lived my life to the full I have no regrets But I wish I could talk to my family To tell them one last goodbye The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier The final frontier If I could survive to live one more time I wouldn't be changing a thing at all Done more in my life than some do in ten I'd go back and do it all over again For I have lived my life to the full I have no regrets But I wish I could talk to my family And tell them that one last goodbye The final frontier [x4] [Guitar solo] There isn't much time, must say my last rites Nobody is here to read them to me Must say my goodbyes, if only a line A message to tell them in case they might find For I have lived my life to the full I have no regrets But I wish I could talk to my family To tell them that one last goodbye The final frontier, the final frontier [x2]
EL DORADO
(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) Traducción Gotta tell you a story On a cold winter's night You'll been sailing for glory Before you know what is right So come over here now I've got a vision for you It's my personal snake oil It's just something I do I'm the Jester with no tears And I'm playing on your fears I'm a trickster smiling underneath this mask of love and death The eternal lie I've told About the pyramids of gold I've got you hooked at every turn, your money's left to burn You'll be wanting a contract, Ha! You'll be waiting a while I'd like to keep you my contact But that isn't my style Well, you'll only get one chance And it's too good to miss If I didn't lie to you Then I wouldn't exist Greed, lust, and envy pry It's the same old same old way The smoke and mirrors Visions that you see are just like me I'm a clever banker's face With just a little out of place I know someone just like you know someone just like me El Dorado come and play El Dorado step this way Take a ticket for the ride El Dorado streets of gold See the ship its oversold You've got one last chance to try So Gone is the glory And gone is the gold Well if you need a story I'll come, it has to be told Well you may say I'm a devil And I wouldn't say no But out here on the dark side Hey! On with the show! So now my tale is told Big and bad and twice as bold The ship of fools is sinking as the cracks begin to grow There is no easy way For an honest man today Which is something you should think of as my lifeboat sails away El Dorado come and play El Dorado step this way Take a ticket for the ride El Dorado streets of gold See the ship its oversold You've got one last chance to try El Dorado come and play El Dorado step this way Take a ticket for the ride El Dorado streets of gold See the ship its oversold You've got one last chance to try
MOTHER OF MERCY
(Smith/Harris) Traducción Sitting waiting in the falling rain Getting ready to begin again Wounded lying, crying, bodies moving, dying All around there is the smell of death and fire Here the planes are coming Hear the soldiers running Killing on a scale to comprehend Why are we here In this place...here to kill Please God forgive us for What we have done I always thought I was doing right As of now I'm not feeling so sure I'm at a place where I give no grace I'm a soldier of war I sit waiting for my darkest hour to come I cannot think about the things that I have done It shouldn't take a fool to see that I believe Accept the consequence, repent for what I've done You tell me what is certain but I'll tell you what is true You tell me what is honesty, when all around is death and cruelty The making of a man is fire, not giving into our desires Within the truth it lies within the only thing Mother of Mercy Angel of death desire Mother of mercy Taking my last breath of fire Mother of mercy Angel of pain Mother of mercy Taking my last breath Some say you are a lost cause, some say you're a saint Just being here's an act of suffering and restraint Walk down the long dark road to ruin and panic not I'll die a lonely death of That I'm certain of Rivers flow with blood there's nowhere left to hide It's hard to comprehend there's anyone left alive Sick of all the killing and the reek of death Will god tell me what religion is to man I don't hold with bad religion understand what's underneath it Now I come to think of it, I just don't hold at all you know it You say you are a holy man, but what is it you do From where I stand is nothing but a hollow man I see Mother of Mercy Angel of death desire Mother of mercy Taking my last breath of fire Mother of mercy Angel of pain Mother of mercy Taking my last breath Mother of Mercy Angel of death desire Mother of mercy Taking my last breath of fire Mother of mercy Angel of pain Mother of mercy Drawing my last breath I'm just a lonely soldier fighting in a bloody hopeless war Don't know what I'm fighting, who it is, or what I'm fighting for Thought it was for money, make my fortune, now I'm not so sure Seem to just have lost my way
COMING HOME
(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) Traducción When I stand before you shining in the early morning sun When I feel the engines roar and I think of what we've done Oh the bittersweet reflection as we kiss the earth goodbye As the waves and echoes of the towns become the ghosts of time Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes No creed and no religion just a hundred winged souls We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth A thousand leagues away, our land of birth To Albion's land Coming home when I see the runway lights In the misty dawn the night is fading fast Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay Curving on the edge of daylight til it slips into the void Waited in the long night, dreaming til the sun is born again Stretched the fingers of my hand, covered countries with my span Just a lonely satellite, speck of dust and cosmic sand Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes Through the dark Atlantic; over mounting stormy waves We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth A thousand leagues away, our land of birth To Albion's land Coming home when I see the runway lights In the misty dawn the night is fading fast Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay To Albion's land Coming home when I see the runway lights In the misty dawn the night is fading fast Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay Coming home, far away when I see the runway lights In the misty dawn the night is fading fast Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay
THE ALCHEMIST
(Gers/Harris/Dickinson) Traducción Stranger than the comet as it streaks across the sky Stranger than the truth I know before my open eyes I have dealt in mysteries and trickery, of light to entertain Looked into the abyss, called it by its name I have plundered time itself, put the world inside it And the mysteries, day and night, divide it A plague of wonders, on your knees beside me Know the secrets, you shall not deride us My dreams of empire for my frozen queen Will come to pass Know me, the Magus I am Dr. Dee And this is my house I am the master of the tides I shame the mirror in my sight What random music of the spheres across the years Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Chain of the demons set free Strange alchemy Gather round the aimless and the feckless and the lame Hear the master summon up the spirits by their names I curse you Edward Kelly your betrayal for eternity is damned Know you speak with demons you cannot command Even as I looked into the glass then I was blinded Burning by the Mortlake shore my house my books inside it You have taken up my wife and lain beside her Now the black rain on my house, the timbers burning My dreams of empire for my frozen queen Will come to pass Know me, the Magus I am Dr. Dee And this was my house I was the keeper of the books I had the knowledge of the scrolls But now through ignorance and fear I cast a shadow through the years Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Chain of the demons set free Strange alchemy Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Chain of the demons set free Strange alchemy Know this I will return to this land Rebuild where the ruins did stand Restore the knowledge memory Strange alchemy
ISLE OF AVALON
(Smith/Harris) Traducción I can hear them floating on the wind Immortal souls their weeping saddens me Mother earth you know your time is near Awaken lust the seed is sown and reaped Through the western isle I hear the dead awaken Rising slowing to the court of Avalon The cauldron of the head of Annwyn laced with envy Dark around its edge with pearl and destiny All my days I've waited for the sign The one that brings me closer to isle of Avalon I can feel the power flowing through my veins My heart is beating louder, close to Avalon I can hear you, can you hear me? I can feel you, can't you feel me? Fertility Mother Goddess Celebration, sow the seeds of the born The fruit of her body laden Through the corn doll You will pray for them all The image of Mother Goddess Lying dormant, in the eyes of the dead The sheaf of the corn is broken End the harvest Throw the dead on the pyre I hear her crying the tears of an angel The voices I hear in my head Blessed the fruits are the corn of the earth Mother earth holy blood of the dead Mother earth I can hear you Sacrifice, now united Rising levels of the tidal lakes protect them Keepers of the goddess in the underworld Holding powers of the mystics, deep inside them nineteen maidens, guardians of the otherworld Mortal conflict born of Celtic legend That apart from seven, non-returned from Avalon Mother earth I can feel you My rebirth now completed Fertility mother goddess Celebration, sow the seeds of the born The fruits of her body laden Through the corn doll You will pray for them all The image of mother goddess Lying dormant, in the eyes of the dead The sheaf of the corn is broken End the harvest, throw the dead on the pyre To have the belief of others Looking for the Isle to show them a sign Fertility of all mothers Stood in silence Waiting now for their turn The gateway to Avalon The island where the souls of the dead are reborn Brought here to die and be transferred into the earth And then for rebirth I hear her crying the tears of an angel The voices I hear in my head Blessed the fruits are the corn of the earth Mother earth holy blood of the dead The water in rivers and rhymes rises quickly Are flowing and flooding the land The sea shall return once again just to hide them Lost souls on the Isle of the dead
STARBLIND
(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) Traducción Take my eyes the things I've seen in this world coming to an end My reflection fades, I'm weary of these earthly bones and skin You may pass through me and leave no trace, I have no mortal face Solar winds are whispering, you may hear me call We can shed our skins and swim into the darkened void beyond We will dance among the world that orbit stars that aren't our sun All the oxygen that trapped us in a carbon spider's web Solar winds are whispering, you may hear the sirens of the dead Left the elders to their parley meant to satisfy our lust Leaving Damocles still hanging over all their promised trust Walk away from freedoms offered by their jailers in their cage Step into the light startripping over mortals in their rage Starblind - with sun The stars are one We are the light that brings the end of night Starblind - with sun The stars are one We are, with the Goddess of the sun tonight The preacher loses face with Christ Religion's cruel device is gone Empty flesh and hallow bones Make pacts of love but die alone The crucible of pain will forge The blanks of sin, begin again You are free to choose a life to live Or one that's left to lose Virgins in the teeth of God are meat and drink to feed the damned You may pass through me and I will feel the life that you live less Step into my light startripping, we will rage against the night Walk away from comfort offered by your citizens of death Starblind - with sun The stars are one We are the light that brings the end of night Starblind - with sun The stars are one We're one with the goddess of the sun tonight Take my eyes for what I've seen I will give my sight to you You are free to choose whatever Life to live or life to lose Whatever God, you know He knows you, better than you believe In your once and future grave You'll fall endlessly deceived Look into our face reflected in the moon glow in your eyes Remember you can choose to look but not to see and waste your hours You believe you have the time but I tell you your time is short See your past and future all the same and it cannot be bought Starblind - with sun The stars are one We are the light that brings the end of night Starblind - with sun The stars are one We're one with the Goddess of the sun tonight Take my eyes for what I've seen I will give my sight to you You are free to choose whatever Life to live or life to lose Whatever God you know He knows you better than you believe In your once and future grave You'll fall endlessly deceived The preacher loses face with Christ Religion's cruel device is gone Empty flesh and hollow bones Make pacts of love but die alone The crucible of pain will forge The blanks of sin, begin again You are free to choose a life to live Or one that's left to lose
THE TALISMAN
(Gers/Harris) Traducción When I stand and look about the port And contemplate my life, Will I ever see my countrymen again? As the captain calls us on the deck I take my things and walk to the harbourside, I glance back one last time Fleeing our nation, Our problems we leave behind Ships by the tenfold Sail out on the tide We are pleased to be out and Embracing the open sea Free from our troubles And more free from thee Inheritors unfulfilled reason Behind us. We flee from what is not what Is will be. We flee the earth and face our Harsh reality. Will death be low mist that Hangs on the sea? We run from the evil tongues, Rash judgements, selfish men Never to be seen on these shores again. As we sail into oceansize And lose sight of all land A face of contentment Around in the air We're off now to seek all our fortunes To the land of our dreams Riding the waves and the storm Is upon us. The winds lash the sails but The ropes keep them tight Off in the distance a dark cloud approaching None could imagine what there was to come No, there's no one going back No, there's not a second chance As we strap onto the side We pray to God that we won't die As we ride the rough seas, As we soak from the ocean waves, I just hope for all our lives And pray that I survive Four ships are lost in the Stormy conditions The spirits of the sunken crews, Their phantoms follow us Spirits, sails, they drive us on Through the all consuming waves Cold mortality, no weapon Against these ever raging seas Four leagues and ten and we Hit storms again We just can't get away from The eye of the storm The birds outsoar the raging storm But we cannot escape it Abandoned earth that we now crave Is many leagues from safe Holding on for our dear lives And we're praying once again rotten luck or just jonahed? The talisman is in my hand Limbs fatigues, trembling with cold Blinded from the sea spray salt Clasping anything we can hold Heaven's rain upon us falls Twenty days without a meal And ten without fresh water still Those that didn't die in storms The scurvy rest did slaughter Westwards the tide westwards we sail on Westwards the tide Sail by the talisman We approach the other side Of the ocean with the tide In our favour just for once Welcome greeting our new land The elation in our hearts The excitement in our veins As we sail towards the coastline Of our golden promised land Weary limbs fatigued away I have no life left in me No more strength and nothing Left to give Must find the will to live Never thought that we could make it Truly sight of shores divine the sickness I am dying from Never wanted it to end this way Westwards the tide Westwards we sail on westwards the tide Sail by the talisman
THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING
(Murray/Harris) Traducción As he travels on the beast of Burden Moving up along the mountain side As he gazes looking down the valley No regrets but his pride As he journeys across mountain passes And significant sweeps overhand His reflection of the beauty around him Feeling empty inside He is running from his wildest thoughts He is running from his everything He is looking now to find something Hoping he could be saved He's searching for the answer now Is something that he's managed to avoid up 'till now Looking for the conviction that he craves He needs to find the answer sooner or later Pushed himself to the limits He had to strife for all the harder things in life But what the cost to give him now His life and time are the only things that he has Life is is not a rehearsal, only has this the one chance to get it right Living really is only way to know Maybe one day they ll forgive him what he's done with all the pain of lying too early in the grave Destiny, no good to hide away Penance now will be his only way Understand, no good to run away Penance now will be his saving grace Just to make his peace with God All is forgivable but he's left a little late Trying something that he's not Is impossible to change such a lot He's taken someone s life away There s not a day that goes by he regrets what he's done He should have found another way From the good book says an eye for an eye In reflecting on decisions that were made On the judgements that will haunt him till his grave No-one has the right to take another life But in his mind he had no choice so be it Destiny, no good to hide away Penance now will be his only way Understand, no good to run away Penance now will be his saving grace Destiny, no good to hide away Hear us now, we ll be his only way understand , no good to run away Hear us now, we ll be his saving grace Far, far away The man who would be king Far, far away The man who would be king
WHEN THE WILD WIND BLOWS
(Harris) Traducción Have you heard what they said on the news today? Have you heard what is coming to us all? That the world as we know it will be coming to an end Have you heard, have you heard? He sees them in the distance where the darkened clouds roll He could feel tension in the atmosphere He would look in the mirror, see an old man now Does it matter they survive somehow? They said there's nothing can be done about the situation They said there's nothing you can do at all To sit and wait around for something to occur Did you know, did you know? As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows And wonders if they'll ever grow again The desperation of the situation getting graver Getting ready when the wild wind blows Have you seen what they said on the news today? Have you heard what they said about us all? Do you know what is happening to just every one of us Have you heard, have you heard? There will be a catastrophe the like we've never seen There will be something that will light the sky That the world as we know it, it will never be the same Did you know, did you know? He carries everything into the shelter not a fuss Getting ready when the moment comes He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two Good to have because you never know They tell us nothing that we don't already know about They tell us nothing that is real at all They only fill us with the stuff that they want Did you know, did you know? He's nearly finished with the preparations for the day He's getting tired that'll do for now They are preparing for the very worst to come to them Getting ready when the wild wind blows He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down upside down He sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face, saying grace Remember times they had, they flash right through his mind left behind Of a lifetime spent together long ago will be gone They've been preparing for some weeks now For when the crucial moment comes To take their refuge in the shelter Let them prepare for what will come They make a tea and sit there waiting They're in the shelter feeling snug Not long to wait for absolution Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait Can't believe all the lying, All the screams are denying That the moments of truth have begun Can't you see it on the TV? Don't believe them in the last bit Now the days of our ending have begun Say a prayer when it's all over Survivors unite all as one Got to try and help each other Got the will to overcome I can't believe all the lying, All the screens are denying That the moments of truth have begun Can't you see it on the TV? Don't believe them in the last bit Now the days of our ending have begun When they found them, had their arms wrapped around each other Their tins of poison laying near by their clothes The day they both mistook an earthquake for the fallout, Just another when the wild wind blows...
