Digital Booklet - The Final Frontier
If I could survive
To live one more time
I wouldnt be changing
A thing at all
Desperate calls...
Signal back from Satellite
As my life flashes right in
front of me
Try again...must get through
Hear me now...
For Ive very little time
Not much time...hear my call
Please get through...I am here
Im stranded in Space
Im lost without trace
I havent a chance of getting away
Too close to the Sun
I surely will burn
Like Icarus before me
Or so legend goes
I think of my life
Reliving my past
Theres nothing but wait
til my time comes
Ive had a good life
Id do it again
Maybe Ill come back
Some time afresh
For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
But I wish I could talk to my family
To tell them one last goodbye
The Final Frontier...
The Final Frontier
EL DORADO
(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 06:49
Got to tell you a story on a
cold winters night
Youll be sailing for glory before
you know what is right
So come over here now
I got a vision for you
Its my personal snake oil
its just something I do
Im the jester with no tears
and Im playing on your fears
Im a trickster smiling underneath
this mask of love and death
MOTHER OF MERCY
(Smith/Harris) 05:20
Sitting waiting in the falling rain
Getting ready to begin again
Wounded lying crying
Bodies moving dying
All around there is the smell
Of death and fire
Here the planes are coming
Hear the soldiers running
Killing on a scale to comprehend
Why are we here
In this place...here to kill
Please God forgive us for
what we have done
I always thought I was doing right
As of now Im not feeling so sure
Im at a place of where
I give no grace
Im a soldier of war
I sit waiting for my darkest hour
To come
I cannot think about the things
That I have done
It shouldnt take a fool to see
That I believe
Accept the consequence
Repent for what Ive done
You tell me what is certain
But Ill tell you what is true
You tell me what is honesty
When all around is death
and cruelty
The making of a man is fire
Not giving in to our desires
Within the truth that lies
Within the only thing
Mother Of Mercy
Angel of death desire
Mother Of Mercy
Taking my last breath of fire
Mother Of Mercy
Angel of pain
Mother Of Mercy
Taking my last breath
COMING HOME
(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 05:52
THE ALCHEMIST
(Gers/Harris/Dickinson) 04:29
Stranger than the comet
As it streaks across the sky
Stranger than the truth I know
Before my open eyes
I have dealt in mysteries
And trickery of light to entertain
Looked into the abyss
Called it by its name
I have plundered time itself
Put the world inside it
And the mysteries day and night
divide it
A plague of wonders
on your knees beside me
Know the secrets
You shall not deride us
My dreams of empire for my
frozen queen will come to pass
Know me the Magus I am
Doctor Dee and this is my house
I am the master of the tides
I shame the mirror in my sight
What random music of the spheres
across the years
Know this I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Chain of the demons set free
Strange Alchemy
Gather round the aimless and the
feckless and the lame
Hear the master summon up
The spirits by their names
I curse you Edward Kelly your
Betrayal for eternity is damned
Know you speak with demons you
cannot command
Even as I look into the glass
Then I was blinded
Burning by the Mortlake shore
My house my books inside it
You have taken up my wife
And lain beside her
Now the black rain on my house
The timbers burning
My dreams of empire for my
frozen queen will come to pass
Know me the Magus I am
Doctor Dee and this was my house
I was the keeper of the books
I had the knowledge of the scrolls
But now through ignorance
and fear
I cast a shadow through the years
Know this I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Chain of the demons set free
Strange Alchemy
Know this I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Restore the knowledge memory
Strange Alchemy
ISLE OF AVALON
(Smith/Harris) 09:06
I can hear them floating
on the wind
Immortal souls their weeping
Saddens me
Mother Earth you know your
time is near
Awaken lust the seed is sown
and reaped
STARBLIND
(Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 07:48
Take my eyes the things Ive seen
In this world coming to an end
My reflection fades Im weary
Of these earthly bones and skin
You may pass through me and
Leave no trace I have
no mortal face
Solar winds are whispering
you may hear me call
We can shed our skins and swim
into the darkened void beyond
We will dance among the world
That orbit stars that arent our sun
All the oxygen that trapped us in
A carbon spiders web
Solar winds are whispering you
may hear the sirens of the dead
Let the elders to their parley
Meant to satisfy our lust
Leaving Damacles still hanging
over all their promised trust
Walk away from freedoms offered
by the jailors in their cage
Step into the light startripping
Over mortals in their rage
Starblind with sun the
stars are one
We are the light that brings
the end of night
Starblind with sun the
stars are one
We are with the Goddess
Of the sun tonight
The preacher loses face
with Christ
Religions cruel device is gone
Empty flesh and hollow bones
Make pacts of love but die alone
The crucible of pain will forge the
Blanks of sin begin again
You are free to choose a life to live
Or one thats left to lose
Virgins in the teeth of God are
A face of contentment
Around in the air
Were off now to
seek all our fortunes
To the land of our dreams
THE TALISMAN
(Gers/Harris) 09:03
When I stand and look
about the port
and contemplate my life will I
ever see my countrymen again
As the captain calls us on the deck
I take my things and walk
To the harbourside I glance back one
last time
Fleeing our nation our problems
we leave behind
Ships by the tenfold sail
out on the tide
We are pleased to be out and
embracing the open sea
Free from our troubles
And more free from thee
Inheritors unfulfilled reason
behind us
We flee from what is not what
is will be
We flee the earth and face our harsh
reality
Will death be low mist that
hangs on the sea
