1. Wildest Dreams

[Smith / Harris]

I'm gonna organize some changes in my life

I'm gonna exorcise the demons of my past

I'm gonna take the car and hit the open road

I'm feeling ready to just open up and go

And I just feel I can be anything

That all I might ever wish to be

And fantasize just what I want to be

Make my wildest dreams come true

I'm on my way

Out on my own again

I'm on my way

Out on the road again

When I remember back to how that things just used to be

And I was stuck inside a shroud of misery

I felt I'd disappeared so deep inside myself

I couldn't find a way to break away my hell

When I'm feeling down and low

I vow I'll never be the same again

I just remember what I am

And visualize just what I'm gonna be

I'm on my way

Out on my own again

I'm on my way

Out on the road again

I'm on my way

Out on my own again

I'm on my way

I'm gonna breakaway

2. Rainmaker

[Murray / Harris / Dickinson]

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

[Refrén:]

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.....

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 the ground like the cracks are in our lives

They are sealed and now far away

[opakování refrénu]

3. No More Lies

[Harris]

There's a darkened sky before me

There's no time to prepare

Salvage a last horizon

But no regrets from me

Maybe I'll be back some other day

To live again just who can say

In what shape or form that I might be

Just another chance for me

A hurried time no disgrace

Instead of racing to conclusion

And wishing all my life away

No-one can stop me now

Time is up it couldn't last

But there's more things I'd like to do

I'm coming back to try again

Someday maybe I'll wait till then

No more lies...

They're all sitting at my table

Talking tall and drinking wine

Their time is up just like me

But they just don't know it yet

So just a word of warning

When you're in your deepest dreams

There's nothing you can hide from

I've got my eye on you

The clock is fast, the hour is near

Eventful past is everclear

My life is set, the time is here

I think I'm coming home

No more lies...

A hurried time, no disgrace

Instead of racing to conclusions

And wishing all your life away

No-one can stop me now

Time is up it couldn't last

But there's more things I have to do

I'm coming back to try again

Don't tell me that this is the end

No more lies...

4. Montségur

[Gers / Harris / Dickinson]

I stand alone in this desolate space

In death they are truly alive

Massacred innocence, evil took place

The angels were burning inside

Centuries later I wonder why

What secret they took to their grave

Still burning heretics under our skies

Religion's still burning inside

[refrén:]

At the gates and the walls of Montségur

Blood on the stones of the citadel

At the gates and the walls of Montségur

Blood on the stones of the citadel

At the gates and the walls of Montségur

Blood on the stones of the citadel

At the gates and the walls of Montségur

Blood on the stones of the citadel

As we kill them all so God will know his own

The innocents died for the Pope on his throne

Catholic greed and its paranoid zeal

Curse of the grail and the blood of the cross

Templar believers with blood on their hands

Joined in the chorus to kill on demand

Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty

To stand with the cathars, to die and be free

The book of Old Testament crippled and black

Satan - his weapon is lust

Leaving this evil damnation of flesh

Back to the torture of lies

The perfect ones willingly died at the stake

And all of their followers slain

As for the knowledge of God they had claimed

Religion's still burning inside

[opakovat refrén]

Templar believers with blood on their hands

Joined in the chorus to kill on command

Burned at the stake for their soul's liberty

Still running heretics under our skies

As we kill them all so God know his own

Laugh at the darkness and in god we trust

The eye in the triangle smiling with sin

No passover feast for the cursed within

Facing the sun as they went to their grave

Burn like a dog or you live like a slave

Death is the price for your soul's liberty

To stand with the cathars and to die and be free

[opakovat refrén]

5. Dance Of Death

[Gers / Harris]

Let me tell you a story to chill the bones

About a thing 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

Into the circle of fire I followed them

Into 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

6. Gates Of Tomorrow

[Gers / Harris / Dickinson]

Weaving a thread round your heart and your soul

Deceiving your eyes and delaying your goal

Ships in the night when they pass out of sight

Deliver their cargo of earthly delights

To the women and children, the souls of the dead

I've opened their book and no mercy is shed

You want forgiveness and you want it cheap

I don't give redemption rewards for the meek

Suffering evil when you pay the price of fame

There isn't a god to save you if you don't save yourself

You can't blame a madman for this, if you go insane

Give me the strength so I carry on

[refrén:]

Trapped in the web - but I cut the threads
