Senjutsu Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Beat the warning, the sound of the drums
Set the beacons afire for them all
Call to arms all the men far and wide
Have to fight now for dynasty, pride at stake
The invaders repel from the north
Keep out nomads who come from the plains
Northern grasslands awash with them all
Blocking the tribes that invade from the south of us
[Chorus]
Rallying round to the call
We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums
And they need everyone at the wall
So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall
[Verse 2]
Survive on ledges bitten in dust
Knowledge and virtue is stricken by lust
Really believe that they're coming for us
Dancing on graves of those who bled for us
Driven away by our endless desire
Defeat by anger and our greatest fire
Attack again and try as they might
Hold them again and see them running
[Guitar Solos]
[Chorus]
Rallying round to the call
We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums
And they need everyone at the wall
So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall
[Bridge 1]
Hear them coming
Ready now we wait
Must be steadfast
Must be patient
Must believe in
That we can win
What will save us
The great wall
[Verse 3]
Now under siege have the real strength to hold them now
Have to believe that we can repel them
Faith in the years our ancestors taught us
Have the belief that we can protect the wall
Try if they can, we will overthrow them
Fight to the last, they can never own us
Battle of wills, we'll fight to the last man
Honour our dead so they never fought in vain
[Guitar Solo]
[Bridge 2]
Hold our fortune
Avenge the merciful
Hold the great wall
Never fall again
Arrows falling
Dark oblivion
Live in spirit
Live to tell our sons
[Chorus]
Rallying round to the call
We can hear far away are the sound of distant drums
And they need everyone at the wall
So the day of our judgement has now begun to fall
[Guitar Solo]
Stratego Lyrics
[Verse 1]
How do you read a madman's mind?
Teach me the art of war
For I shall bring more than you bargained for
Give me an ultimatum
That I could not dream of
Spills of a crying nation upon my soul
[Pre-Chorus 1]
For I have not a mortal soul
That you already know
Look at my eyes
There’s no surprise
[Chorus]
Ocean is black, the Devil's track
Looking beyond beneath the sea
Eye of the storm is here again
Been there before you were ever born
Beyond the dark, I feel the pain
It's hidden, but I can’t explain
A cross to bear, a heavy faith
My sorrow whispers, "Time again"
[Post-Chorus]
I hear you calling my name
Come to claim my life again
Pray for me I'm almost there
The pain almost too much to bear
[Verse 2]
I try to find my way back home
To feel the same again
The voice of nothing listened far too long
Little by little, eat away
I think I've lost my mind
Too late to change now what I left behind
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Hear me, listen my call
I am ready to fall
Lord, hear me now
Let me go
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Ocean is black, the Devil's track
Looking beyond beneath the sea
Eye of the storm is here again
Been there before you were ever born
Beyond the dark, I feel the pain
It's hidden, but I can't explain
A cross to bear, a heavy faith
My sorrow whispers, "Time again"
Lost in a Lost World Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All is not it seems to be on the outside
Sometimes, what appears to be is a show
What shows in the face is only a mirror
We all have some better places to go
[Verse 2]
We don't know just what we have ’til we've lost it
Until that time comes and know that it's gone
So hard to say things that we should have uttered long ago
Tear myself away from thoughts in my head
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
The people worshipping the sun
And all the children point up to the sky
They see the eagle as it floats on the wind
And they follow with their spirits high
[Verse 4]
Buffalo roam on the plain
We walk into the flames but dance for rain
The hallowed dead in sacred ground, the elders
And we wash away their sins for them
[Pre-Chorus]
Feel the spirits of the old ones standing proud upon their race
And the testament to ancestors, that are never to retrace
Burn the flame of innocence, as they ride into the sun
Thinking now of our forefathers that are lying dead upon
Holy ground and sacred earth now
Revisit stolen youth
[Chorus 1]
Lost in a lost world
Buried on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world
Lying on sacred ground
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solos]
[Chorus 1]
Lost in a lost world
Buried on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world
Lying on sacred ground
[Chorus 2]
Lost in a lost world
Standing on sacred ground
Lost in a lost world
Lying on sacred ground
[Outro]
Will we ever heal our old wounds
Like forever darkness worn
Fighting for their lives again
So come on now, don’t be afraid
This is where destiny lies
Just to let us breathe again
Put upon this earth to wander
And to walk, forever lost
With the ashes of our enemies
To live among our ghosts
Of our past, fear nothing
Life is but a better path to joy
Nowhere to go, nowhere to run
Our whole nation overrun
Itself existence under threat
And soon will be none of us left
Remember names of all our dead now
In enemies that fled
Reaching for our sky forever free
A sadness that is proud
As the clouds all drift away now
Until we meet again
The Time Machine Lyrics
[Intro]
Put to the sword by an impish whim
Follow me now to a place we begin
Wrought with no anger, wrought with no fear
Devilish children playing here
Hidden in silence, below barren waste
Confusion hunger, am I still awake?
[Verse 1]
Have I ever told you about my time machine?
Sit you down ,I'll tell you everywhere I've been
I have lived a long life, life extraordinaire
Let me tell you about it, let me take you there
Does it really matter? It's all in the mind
Let me tell you about it, listen what you'll find
[Chorus]
I am not a preacher, I am but a man
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done
[Verse 2]
I have lived a long life, I have seen the world
I could tell you stories, hair will stand on end
Stand among the steeples, stand upon the walls
I have seen a god's face, I have no disgrace
I have seen the gods cry, howling in the wind
Where do I get started? When can I begin?
[Chorus]
I am not a preacher, I am but a man
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done
[Bridge 1]
Sleep with a light that is dark to my eyes
Father and sons, give me all of your lies
The brutal truth, that is never a lie
Full moon is out, as you look to the sky
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I am not a preacher, I am but a man
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done
[Guitar Solos]
[Bridge 2]
Open your heart and I'll open your soul
Even in quieter moments, I know
[Chorus]
I am not a preacher, I am but a man
You cannot imagine what I've seen and done
[Outro]
Eerie collection, darkness is there
Wedded to danger, betrothed to despair
