1. Where Eagles Dare
It's snowing outside but rumbling sound of engines roar in the night
The mission is near, the confident men are waiting to drop from the sky
The Blizzard goes on
But still they must fly
No one should go
Where eagles dare
Bavarian Alps that lay all around, they seem to stare from below
The enemy lines a long time passed are lying deep in the snow
Into the night
They fall through the sky
No one should fly
Where eagles dare
They're closing in, the fortress is near, it's standing high in the sky
The cable cars the only way in it's really impossible to climb
They make their way
But maybe too late
They've got to try
To save the day
The panicking cries, the roaring of guns are echoing all round the valley
The mission complete, they make to escape away from the eagles nest
They dared to go
Where no one would try
They chose to fly
Where eagles dare
2. Revelations
Oh, God of Earth and Altar, bow down and hear our cry
Our earthly rulers falter, our people drift and die
The walls of gold entomb us, the swords of scorn divide
Take not thy thunder from us, take away our pride
Just a babe in a black abyss, no reason for a place like this
The walls are cold and souls cry out in pain
An easy way for the blind to go, a clever path for the fools who know
The secret of the hanged man, the smile on his lips
The light of the blind, you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see
She came to me with a serpents kiss as the eye of the sun rose on her lips
Moonlight catches silver tears that I cry
So we lay in a black embrace and the seed is sown in a holy place
And I watched and I waited for the dawn
The light of the blind, you'll see
The venom tears my spine
The eyes of the Nile are opening, you'll see
Bind all of us together, ablaze with Hope and Free
No storm or heavy weather will rock the boat you'll see
The time has come to close your eyes, still the wind and rain
For the one who will be king, the watcher in the ring
It is you, oh
Oh oh, you
3. Flight Of The Icarus
As the sun breaks above the ground
An old man stands on the hill
As the ground warms to the first rays of light
A birdsong shatters the still
His eyes are ablaze
See the madman in his gaze
Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun, yeah
Uh!
Now the crowd breaks and a young boy appears
Looks the old man in the eye
As he spreads his wings and shouts at the crowd
"In the name of God, my Father, I fly"
His eyes seem so glazed
As he flies on the wings of a dream
Now he knows his Father betrayed
Now his wings turn to ashes, to ashes his grave
Fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun
Yeah, fly on your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way like an eagle
Fly as high as the sun
On your way like an eagle
Fly, touch the sun
On your way like an eagle, fly
Fly as high as the sun! Ah!
4. Die With Your Boots On
Yeah, another prophet of disaster, who says this ship is lost
Another prophet of disaster leaving you to count the cost
Taunting us with visions, afflicting us with fear
Predicting war for millions, in the hope that one appears
No point asking, when it is
No point asking, who's to go
No point asking, what's the game
No point asking, who's to blame
'Cause if you're gonna die (If you're gonna die)
If you're gonna die, die (If you're gonna die)
If you're gonna die (If you're gonna die)
If you're gonna die
If you're gonna die
Die with your boots on if you're gonna try
Well, stick around gonna cry
Just move along if you're gonna die
You're gonna die gonna die
Die with your boots on if you're gonna try
Well, stick around gonna cry
Just move along if you're gonna die, you're gonna die
Thirteen, the beast is rising, the Frenchman did surmise
Through earthquakes and starvation, the Warlord will arise
Terror, death, destruction pour from the eastern sands
But the truth of all predictions is always in your hands
No point asking, when it is
No point asking, who's to go
No point asking, what's the game
No point asking, who's to blame
'Cause if you're gonna die (If you're gonna die)
(If you're gonna die)
If you're gonna die (If you're gonna die)
If you're gonna die
If you're gonna die
Die with your boots on if you're gonna try
Well, stick around gonna cry
Just move along if you're gonna die
You're gonna die gonna die
Die with your boots on if you're gonna try
Well, stick around gonna cry
Just move along if you're gonna die, you're gonna die
They die, when they found sun
Yes, they die
They die, they die, when they found sun
We die, we die, we die, we die, we die, we die
No point asking, when it is
No point asking, who's to go
No point asking, what's the game
No point asking, who's to blame
'Cause if you're gonna die (If you're gonna die)
(If you're gonna die)
If you're gonna die (If you're gonna die)
If you're gonna die
If you're gonna die, die with your boots on if you're gonna try, try and just stick around gonna cry
Just move along if you're gonna die, you're gonna dieGonna die
Die with your boots on if you're gonna try
Well, stick aroundGonna cry, just move along if you're gonna die, die
5. The Trooper
You'll take my life but I'll take yours too
You'll fire your musket but I'll run you through
So when you're waiting for the next attack
You'd better stand there's no turning back
The bugle sounds as the charge begins
But on this battlefield no one wins
The smell of acrid smoke and horses breath
As you plunge into a certain death
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh!
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh!
The horses sweats with fear, we break to run
The mighty roar of the Russian guns
And as we race towards the human wall
The screams of pain as my comrades fall
We hurdle bodies that lay on the ground
And the Russians fire another round
We get so near yet so far away
We won't live to fight another day
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh!
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh!
We get so close near enough to fight
When a Russian gets me in his sights
He pulls the trigger and I feel the blow
A burst of rounds takes my horse below
And as I lay there gazing at the sky
My body's numb and my throat is dry
And as I lay forgotten and alone
Without a tear I draw my parting groan
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh!
O-o-o-o-o-o-o-o-oh!
6. Still Life
Take a look in the pool and what do you see
In the dark depths their faces beckoning me
Can't you see them it's plain for all to see?
They were there oh, I know you don't believe me
Oh... I've never felt so strange
But... I'm not going insane
I've no doubt that you think I'm off my head
You don't say but it's in your eyes instead
Hours I spend out just gazing into that pool
Something draws me there I don't know what to do
Oh... they drain my strength away
Oh... they're asking me to stay
Nightmares... spirits calling me
Nightmares... they won't leave me be
All my life's blood is slowly draining away
And I feel that I'm weaker every day
Somehow I know I haven't long to go
Joining them at the bottom of the pool
Now... I feel they are so near
I... begin to see them clear
Nightmares... coming all the time
Nightmares... will give me peace of mind
Now it's clear and I know what I have to do
I must take you down there to look at them too
Hand in hand then we'll jump right into that pool
Can't you see not just me they want you too?
Oh... we'll drown together
It... will be forever
Nightmares... forever calling me
Nightmares... now we rest in peace
7. Quest For Fire
In a day when dinosaurs walked the earth
When the land was swamp and caves were home
In an age when prize possession was fire
To search for landscapes men would roam
Then the tribes they came to steel the fire
And the wolves they howled into the night
As they fought a vicious angry battle
To save the power of warmth and light
Drawn by quest for fire
They searched all through the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man
And they thought that when the embers died away
That the flame of life had burnt and died
Didn't know the sparks that made the fire
Were made by rubbing stick and stone
So they ploughed through forests and swamps of danger
And they fought the cannibal tribes and beasts
In the search to find another fire
To regain the power of light and heat
Drawn by quest for fire
They searched across the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man
Drawn by quest for fire
They searched across the land
Drawn by quest for fire
Discovery of man (x2)
8. Sun And Steel
Well you killed your first man at thirteen
Killer instinct, animal supreme
By sixteen, you had learned to fight
The way of the warrior, you took it as your right
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal, life is like a wheel
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal, life is like a wheel
Through earth and water, fire and wind
You came at last nothing was the end
And make a cut by fire and stones
Take you and your blade and break you both in two
Break you both in two
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal, life is like a wheel
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal, life is like a wheel
Rolling on and on
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal, life is like a wheel
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal, life is like a wheel
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal, life is like a wheel
Sunlight, falling on your steel
Death in life is your ideal, life is like a wheel
And it's rolling still
9. To Tame A Land
He is the King of all the land in the Kingdom of the sands of a time tomorrow
He rules the sandworms and the Fremen in a land amongst the stars of an age tomorrow
He is destined to be a King, he rules over everything in the land called planet Dune
Body water is your life and without it that you would die in the desert the planet Dune, auh
Without a still suit you would fry on the sands so hot and dry in a world called Arrakis
It is a land that's rich in spice, the sand riders and the mice, that they call the Muad Dib
He is the Kwizatz Haderach, he is born of Caladan and will take the Gom Jabbar
He has the power to foresee or to look into the past, he is the ruler of the stars
The time will come for him to lay claim his crown
And then the foe, yes, they'll be cut down
You'll see he'll be the best that there's been
Messiah supreme, true leader of men
And when the time for judgment's at hand
Don't fret, he's strong, he'll make a stand
Against evil and fire that spreads through the land
He has the power to make it all end
