  • THE WICKER MAN

    (Smith/Harris/Dickinson)  Traducción Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do Your tongue has frozen now you've got something to say The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you this way You watch the world exploding every single night Dancing in the sun a new born in the light Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death Hello to eternity and live for every breath Your time will come Your time will come The ferryman wants his money you ain't gonna give it back He can push his own boat as you set up off 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 new born in the light Brothers and their fathers joining hands and make a chain The shadow of the wicker man is rising up again Your time will come Your time will come

    HOLY SMOKE

    (Harris/Dickinson)  Traducción Believe in me send no money I died on the cross and that ain't funny But my so called friends they're making me a joke They missed out what I said like I never spoke They choose what they wanna hear they don't tell a lie They just leave out the truth as they're watching you die They're saving your souls by taking your money Flies around shit bees around honey Chorus: Holy smoke holy smoke There's plenty bad preachers for the devil to stoke Feed 'em in feet first this is no joke This is thirsty work making holy smoke yeah Making holy smoke Jimmy reptile and all his friends Say they gonna be with you at the end Burning records burning books Holy soldiers nazi looks Crocodile smiles just wait a while Till the tv queen gets her make-up clean I've lived in filth I've lived in sin and I still smell cleaner than the shit you're in [Chorus] Holy smoke Smells good They ain't religious but they ain't no fools When noah built his cadillac it was cool Two by two they're still going down And the satellite circus just left town I think they're strange and when they're dead They can have a lincoln for their bed Friend of the president trick of the tail Now they ain't got a prayer 100 years in jail [Chorus] HOLY SMOKE

    EL DORADO

    (Smith/Harris/Dickinson)  TraducciÛn 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

    PASCHENDALE

    (Smith/Harris)  Traducción In a foreign field he lay Lonely soldier unkown grave On his dying words he prays Tell the world of Paschendale Relive all that he's been through Last communioun of his soul Rust your bullets with his tears Let me tell you 'bout his years Laying low in a blood filled trench Kill tim '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 no-one 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 kand 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 Everyman 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 go Blood is falling like the rain It's crimson cloak unveils again The sound of guns can't hid their shame And so we die on Paschendale Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire Running straight at the 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 Fell 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 See my spirit on the wind Across the lines beyond the hill Friend and foe will meet again Those who died at Paschendale

    MAN ON THE EDGE

    (Bayley/Gers)  Traducción 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 'Cause nothing is fair just you look around 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 can 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

    (Murray/Harris)  TraducciÛn Let me tell you about my life Let me tell you about my dreams Let me tell you about the things that happened Always real to me Let me tell you of my hope Of my need to reach the sky Let me take you on an awkward journey Let me tell you why Let me tell you why Why should these curses be laid upon me? I won't be forgiven 'till I can break free What did I do to deserve all this guilt? Paid for my sins for the sale of my soul Demons are trapped all inside of my head My hopes have gone, I reach for heaven from hell My sins are many, my guilt is too heavy The pressure of knowing, of having what I know I'm able to see things, things I don't want to see The lives of a thousand souls, weighing down on me I know they're crying for help, reaching out The burden of them will take me down as well The sin of a thousand souls not died in vain Reincarnates to let me live again Chorus: (x2) Someone to save me Something to save me from myself To bring salvation To exorcise this hell 2nd Chorus: Someone to save me Something to save me from my hell I taste damnation Awake from this nightmare Chorus: Someone to save me Something to save me from myself To bring salvation To exorcise this hell

    BLOOD BROTHERS

    (Harris)  Traducción And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life What do you think you'd expect you would see? Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life And in the river reflections of me Just for a second a glimpse of of my father I see And in a movement he beckons to me And in a moment the memories are all that remain And all the wounds are reopening again We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers And as you look all around at the world in desmay What do you see, do you think we have learned Not if you're taking a look at the war torn affray Out in the streets where the babies are burned We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers There are the times when I feel I'm afraid for the world There are times I'm ashamed of us all When you're floating on all the emotion you feel And reflecting the good and the bad Will we ever know what the answer to life really is? Can you really tell me what life is? Maybe all the things that you know that are precious to you Could be swept away by fate's own hand We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers When you think that we've use all our chances And the chance to make everything right Keep on making the same old mistakes Makes untipping the balance so easy When we're living our lives in the edge Say a prayer on the book of the dead We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers We're blood brothers And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life

    RAINMAKER

    (Murray/Harris/Dickinson)  Traducción When I was wandering in the desert And 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 turned 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.....

    SIGN OF THE CROSS

    (Harris)  Traducción Eleven saintly shrouded men Silhouettes stand against the sky One in front with a cross held high Come to wash my sins away Standing alone in the wind and rain Feeling the fear that is growing Sensing the change in the tide again Brought by the storm that is brewing Feel the anxiety hold off the fear Some of the doubt in the things you believe Now that your faith will be put to the test Nothing to do but await what is coming Why the is God still protecting me Even when I don't deserve it Though I am blessed with an inner strength Some they would call it a penance Why am I meant to face this alone Asking the question time and again Praying to God won't keep me alive Inside my head feel the fear start to rise... They'll be saying their prayers when the moment comes There'll be penance to pay when it's judgment day And the guilty'll bleed when that moment comes They'll be coming to claim, take your soul away The sign of the cross The name of the rose... a fire in the sky The sign of the cross They'll be comming to bring the eternal flame They'll be bringing us all immortality Holding communion so the world be blessed My creator, my God'll lay my soul to rest The sign of the cross The name of the rose... a fire in the sky The sign of the cross Lost the love of heaven above Chose the lust of the earth below Eleven saintly shrouded men Came to wash my sins away.

    FEAR OF THE DARK

    (Harris)  Traducción I am a man who walks alone And when I'm walking a dark road At night or strolling through the park When the light begins to change I sometimes feel a little strange A little anxious when it's dark Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there Have you run your fingers down the wall And have you felt your neck skin crawl When you're searching for the light? Sometimes when you're scared to take a look At the corner of the room You've sensed that something's watching you Have you ever been alone at night Thought you heard footsteps behind And turned around and no one's there? And as you quicken up your pace You find it hard to look again Because you're sure there's someone there Watching horror films the night before Debating witches and folklores The unknown troubles on your mind Maybe your mind is playing tricks You sense, and suddenly eyes fix On dancing shadows from behind Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have constant fear that something's always near Fear of the dark, fear of the dark I have a phobia that someone's always there When I'm walking a dark road I am a man who walks alone

    BE QUICK OR BE DEAD

    (Dickinson/Gers)  Traducción Covered in sinners and dripping with gilt Making you money from slime and from filth Parading your bellies in ivory towers Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers You got to watch them - Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in heaven - The thief in your head You've got to watch them - Be quick or be dead Snake eyes in heaven - The thief in your head... Be quick! Or be dead! Be quick! Or be dead See... what's ruling all our lives See... who's pulling the strings... I bet you won't fall on your face... Your belly will hold you in place The serpent is crawling inside of your ear He says you must vote for what you want to hear Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright So pull yourself stupid and rob yourself blind.

    COMING HOME

    (Smith/Harris/Dickinson)  TraducciÛn 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

    DANCE OF DEATH

    (Gers/Harris)  Traducción Let me tell you a story to chill the bones about a things 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 In to the circle of fire I followed them In to 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 And 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 dead 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 'Til I dance with the dead

    WHEN THE WILD WIND BLOWS

    (Harris)  TraducciÛn 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...
