Wasted Years Lyrics
[Verse 1]
From the coast of gold
Across the seven seas
I'm travelin' on far and wide
But now it seems
I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do
It isn't me but someone else
[Verse 2]
I close my eyes and think of home
Another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is?
You never miss it till it's gone away
And my heart is lying there
And will be till my dying day
[Chorus]
So, understand
Don't waste your time
Always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize
You're living in the golden years
[Verse 3]
Too much time on my hands
I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain, so easily
When you can't find the words to say
It's hard to make it through another day
And it makes me wanna cry
And throw my hands up to the sky
[Chorus]
So, understand
Don't waste your time
Always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize
You're living in the golden years
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
So, understand
Don't waste your time
Always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize
You're living in the golden years
So, understand
Don't waste your time
Always searching for those wasted years
Face up... make your stand
And realize
You're living in the golden years
Sea of Madness Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Out in the street, somebody's crying
Out in the night, the fires burn
Maybe tonight, somebody's crying
Reached the point of no return
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my eyes, they see
But I can't believe
Oh, my heart is heavy
As I turn my back and leave
[Chorus]
Like the eagle and the dove
Fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river, we will flow
On towards the sea, we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
Out on the sea of madness
[Verse 2]
Somewhere, I hear a voice that's calling
Out in the dark, there burns a dream
You got to hope when you are falling
To find the world that you have seen
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my eyes, they see
But I can't believe
Oh, my heart is heavy
As I turn my back and leave
[Chorus]
Like the eagle and the dove
Fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river, we will flow
On towards the sea, we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
Out on the sea of madness
[Instrumental Break]
[Guitar Solo]
[Instrumental Break]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Guitar Solo]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
It's madness, the sun don't shine
On the sea of madness
There ain't no wind to fill your sails
Madness, when all you see
Can only bring you sadness
On towards the sea, we go
[Verse 3]
Out in the night, somebody's crying
Out in the night, the fires burn
Maybe tonight, somebody's crying
Reached the point of no return
[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, my eyes, they see
But I can't believe
Oh, my heart is heavy
As I turn my back and leave
[Chorus]
Like the eagle and the dove
Fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river, we will flow
On towards the sea, we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
Out on the sea of madness
[Outro]
Of madness, of madness
Of madness, of madness
Of madness, of madness
Deja‐Vu Lyrics
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 1]
When you see familiar faces
But you don't remember where they're from
Could you be wrong?
When you've been particular places
That you know you've never been before
Can you be sure?
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you know this has happened before
And you know that this moment
In time is for real
And you know when you feel déjà vu
[Chorus]
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 2]
Ever had a conversation
That you realize you've had before?
Isn't it strange?
Have you ever talked to someone
And you feel you know what's coming next?
It feels prearranged
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause you know that you've heard it before
And you feel that this moment
In time is surreal
'Cause you know when you feel déjà vu
[Chorus]
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Alexander the Great Lyrics
[Intro]
"My son, ask for thyself
Another kingdom
For that which I leave
Is too small for thee"
[Verse 1]
Near to the east, in a part of ancient Greece
In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son to Philip of Macedon
The legend, his name was Alexander
At the age of nineteen, he became the Macedon King
And he swore to free all of Asia Minor
By the Aegean Sea in 334 BC
He utterly beat the armies of Persia
[Chorus]
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a legend 'mongst mortal men
[Verse 2]
King Darius III, defeated, fled Persia
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well
And he founded the city called Alexandria
By the Tigris River, he met King Darius again
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon and Susa, treasures he found
Took Persepolis, the capital of Persia
[Chorus]
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
Became a god amongst mortal men
[Guitar Solo]
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke
And Alexander cut the "Gordian Knot"
And legend said that who untied the knot
He would become the master of Asia
Hellenism he spread far and wide
The Macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a Western way of life
He paved the way for Christianity
Marching on, marching on
The battle-weary marching side by side
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India
Tired of the combat, pain, and the glory
[Chorus]
Alexander the Great
His name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great
He died of fever in Babylon
