    DIFFERENT WORLD

    (Smith/Harris)  Traducción You lead me on a path, keep showing me the way I feel a little lost, a little strange today I think I'll take a hold of whatever comes my way Then we'll see what happens take it day by day I thought I had it all, I had it all worked out Just what the future held, that there would be no doubt But then the card came up and I took another turn But I don't know if it's forever that I run Tell me what you can hear And then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way to view the world I would like you to know, when you see the simple things To appreciate this life it's not too late to learn Don't wanna be here Somewhere I'd rather be But when I get there I'm afraid it's not for me Tell me what you can hear And then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way to view the world I would like you to know, when you see the simple things To appreciate this life it's not too late to learn SOLO Tell me what you can hear And then tell me what you see Everybody has a different way to view the world I would like you to know, when you see the simple things To appreciate this life it's not too late to learn Don't wanna be here Somewhere I'd rather be But when I get there I'm afraid it's not for me Dont know what I want All there I want to be Feeling part confused The more the days go by

    THESE COLOURS DON'T RUN

    (Smith/Harris/Dickinson)  Traducción It's the same in every country when you say you're leaving Left behind the loved ones waiting silent in the hall Where you're going lies adventure others only dream of Red and green light this is real and so you go to war For the passion, for the glory for the memories, for the money You're a soldier, for your country what's the difference, all the same Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run, from cold bloody war There is no one that will save you going down in flames No surrender certain death you look in the eye On the shores of tyranny you crashed a human wave Paying for my freedom with your lonely unmarked graves For the passion, for the glory for the memories, for the money You're a soldier, for your country what's the difference, all the same Far away from the land of our birth We fly a flag in some foreign earth We sailed away like our fathers before These colours don't run, from cold bloody war

    BRIGHTER THAN A THOUSAND SUNS

    (Smith/Harris/Dickinson)  Traducción We are not the sons of God We are not his chosen people now We have crossed the path he trod We will feel the pain of his beginning Shadow fingers rise above Iron fingers stab the desert sky Oh behold the power of the Earth. Are your children ready for the fall? Locking hands together well Raze a city, build a living hell Join the race to suicide Listen for the tolling of the bell Out of the the universe, a strange light is born Unholy union, trinity reformed Yellow sun it's evil twin in the black the winds deliver him We will sleep to souls within At a siege a nuclear gust is riven Out of the the universe, a strange light is born Unholy union, trinity reformed Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousand suns solo #1 Adrian Burying our morals and burying our dead Burying our head in the sand E equals MC squared, you can't relate How we made God with our hands Whatever would Robert have said to his God About he made war with the Sun E equals MC squared, you can't relate How we made God with our hands All nations are rising Through acid bells of love and hate Chain medals of Satan Uncertainty led us all to this All nations are raising Through acid bells of love and hate Confusion and Fury solo #2 Janick This body carried em' down in vain I was preaching of a small pray In the bunker where we'll die We're the executioners that lie Bombers launched with no recall Minute warning of the missile fall Take a look at your last day Guessing you won’t have the time to cry Out of the the universe, a strange light was born Unholy union, trinity reformed Out of the darkness... Out of the darkness... Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Out of the darkness, brighter than a thousands suns Holy father we have sinned

    THE PILGRIM

    (Gers/Harris)  Traducción The keys to death and hell The ailing kingdom doomed to fail The bonds of sin and heart will break The pilgrims course will take Quelling the devils might And ready for eternal fight Aching limbs and fainting soul Holy battles take their toll Liberty and hope divine Changing the water into wine So to you we bid farewell Kingdom of heaven to hell Spirit holy life eternal Raise me up take me home Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset Onward journey begun To courage find and gracious will Deliver good from ill Clean the water clean our guilt With us do what you will Then will my judge appear Bear no false angel that I hear For only then I will confess To my eternal hell Now give ur our holy sign Changing the water into wine So to you we bid farewell Kingdom of heaven to hell Spirit holy life eternal Raise me up take me home Pilgrim sunrise pagan sunset Onward journey begun

    THE LONGEST DAY

    (Smith/Harris/Dickinson)  Traducción In the gloom the gathering storm abates (How long on this longest day) In the ships gimlet eyes await ('Til we finally make it through) The call to arms to hammer at the gates (How long on this longest day) To blow them wide throw evil to its fate ('Til we finally make it through) All summers long the drills to build the machine (How long on this longest day) To turn men from flesh and blood to steel ('Til we finally make it through) From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach (How long on this longest day) From summer sands to armageddon's beach ('Til we finally make it through) Overlord, your master not your god The enemy coast dawning grey with scud These wretched souls puking, shaking fear To take a bullet for those who sent them here The world's alight, the cliffs erupt in flame No escape, remorseless shrapnel rains Drowning men no chance for a warrior's fate A choking death enter hell's gate Sliding we go, only fear on our side To the edge of the wire, and we rush with the tide Oh the water is red, with the blood of the dead But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through How long on this longest day 'Til we finally make it through The rising dead, faces bloated torn They are relieved, the living wait their turn Your number's up, the bullet's got your name You still go on, to hell and back again Valhalla waits, valkyries rise and fall The warrior tombs, lie open for us all A ghostly hand reaches through the veil Blood and sand, we will prevail Sliding we go, only fear on our side To the edge of the wire, and we rush with the tide Oh the water is red, with the blood of the dead But I'm still alive, pray to God I survive

    OUT OF THE SHADOWS

    (Dickinson/Harris)  Traducción Hold a halo round the world Golden is the day Princes of the Universe your burden is the way So there is no better time, who will be born today A gypsy child at day break A King for a day Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it, to live again Dusty dreams in fading daylight Flicker on the walls Nothing new your life's adrift, what purpose to it all? Eyes are closed and death is calling Reaching out its hand Call upon the starlight to surround you Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it, to live again Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it, to live again Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it, to live again Out of the Shadow and into the sun Dreams of the past as the old ways are done Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain But we must endure it, to live again A man who casts no shadow has no soul

    THE REINCARNATION OF BENJAMIN BREEG

    (Murray/Harris)  Traducción 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

    FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF GOD

    (Harris)  Traducción Are you a man of peace Or a man of holy war Too many sides to you Don’t know which anymore So many full of life But also filled with pain Don’t know just how many Will live to breathe again A life that’s made to breath Destruction or defense A mind that’s vain corruption Bad or good intent A wolf in sheep’s clothing Or saintly or sinner Or some that would believe A holy war winner They fire off many shots And many parting blows There actions beyond a reasoning Only god would know And as he lies in heaven Or it could be in hell I feel he’s somewhere here Or looking from below But I don’t know, I don’t know Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is More pain and misery in the history of mankind Sometime it seems more like The blind leading the blind It brings upon us more famine, death and war You know religion has a lot to answer for And as they search to find the bodies in the sand They find its ashes that are Scattered across the land And as the spirits seem to whistle on the wind A shot is fired somewhere another war begins And all because of it you’d think That we would learn But still the body count the city fires burn Somewhere theres someone dying In a foreign land Meanwhile the world is crying stupidity of man Tell me why, tell me why Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what ware is Again tell me what life is Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is For the greater good of god (x 8) Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is Please tell me now what life is Please tell me now what love is Well tell me now what war is Again tell me what life is For the greater good of god (x 8) He gave his life for us he fell upon the cross To die for all of those who never mourn him It wasn’t meant for us to feel the pain again Tell me why, tell me why

    LORD OF LIGHT

    (Smith/Harris/Dickinson)  Traducción There are secrets that you keep There are secrets that you keep There are secrets that you tell to me alone I can't reach things i can't see You don't see this strange world quite the same as me Don't deny me what i am Nothing hidden still you fail to see the truth There are things you can't reveal There are things you can't reveal We are part of some strange plan Why the slaughter of the brotherhood of man Infernal sacrifice of hell Fire breathing lead the way Mounds of bodies as they all burn into one Revenge is living in the past Time to look into a new millennium Spiral path leads through the maze Down into the fiery underworld below Fire breathing lead the way Lucifer was just an angel led astray Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All i see are mysteries Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All i see are mysteries We are not worthy in your black and blazing eyes We gather demons in the mirror every day The bridge of darkness casts a shadow on us all And all our sins to you we give this day Others wait their turn their lives were meant to last Use yours wisely as the light is fading fast Free your soul and let if fly Mine was caught i couldn't try Time returns again to punish all of us We are cast out by our bloody fatheres hand We are strangers in this lonely promised land We are the shadows of the one unholy ghost In our nightmare world the only one we trust Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All i see are mysteries Free your soul and let it fly Give your life to the Lord of Light Keep your secrets and rain on me All i see are mysteries

    THE LEGACY

    (Gers/Harris)  Traducción Tell you a thing That you ought to know Two minutes of your time Then on you go Tell tala of the men All dressed in black That most of them Not coming back Sent off to war To play little games And on their return Can't name no names Some strange yellow gas Has played with their minds Has reddened their eyes Removed all the lies And strange as ut sounds Death knows no bounds How many get well Only time will tell Only time will tell You lie in your death bed now But what did you bring to the table Brought us only holy sin Utter trust is a deadly thing To the prayer of hole peace We didn't know what was lying underneath So how could we be such fools And to thing that we thought you the answer I can't begin to understand in all the lies But on your death bed i can see it in you eyes Just as clear as all the sewat upon your brow It really makes sense i can see it clearly now Tangled up in a web of lies Could have been a way to prophesise Unaware of the consequence Not aware of the secrets that you kept Nothing that we could believe To reveal the facade of faceless men Not a thing that we could foresee Now a sign that whould tell us the outcome You had us all strung out with promises of peace But all along you cover plan was to deceive Can it put to rights now only time will tell Your prophecies will send us all to hell as well Left to all our golden sons All to pick up on the peace You could have given all of them A little chance ... at least Take the world to a better place Given them all just a little hope Just think what a legacy You know ...will leave We seem destinated to live in fear And some that would say Armageddon is near But where there's a life while there's hope That man won't self destruct Why can't we treat our fellow men With more respect and a shake of their hands But anger and loathing is rife The death on all sides is becoming a way of life We live in an uncertain world Fear understanding and ignorance is leading to death Only the corpses are left For vultures that prey on their bones But some are just not wanting peace Their whole life is death and misery The only thing that they know Fight fire with fire life is cheap But if they do stop to think That man is teetering right on the brink But do you think that they care They benefit from death and pain and despair
