SATELLITE

I'm stranded in space, I'm lost without trace

I haven't this chance of getting away

Too close to the sun and surely will burn

Like Icarus before me or so legend goes

I'm taking my life, reliving the past

There's nothing but wait til' my time comes

I've had a good life, I'd do it again

Maybe I'll come back some time, my friends

For I have lived my life to the full

I have no regrets anekatips

But I wish I could talk to my family to tell them

One last goodbye

The final frontier

The final frontier

The final frontier

The final frontier

If I could survive to live one more time

I wouldn't be changing a thing at all

Do more in my life than some do in ten

I'd go back and do it all over again

For I have lived my life to the full

I have no regrets

But I wish I could talk to my family and tell them

that one last goodbye

The final frontier (x4)

guitar solo

There isn't much time, must say my last rites

Nobody is here to read them to me

Must say my goodbyes, if only a line

A message to tell them in case they might find

But I have filled my life to the full

I have no regrets
But I wish I could talk to my family to tell them

That one last goodbye

The final frontier, the final frontier (repeat)

ELDORADO
Gotta tell you a story
On a cold winters night
You'll be sailin for glory
Before you know what is right

So come over here now

I got a vision for you
It's my personal snake oil
It's just something I do

I'm the jester with no tears

And I'm playing on your fears
I'm a trickster smiling underneath this mask of love and death
The eternal lie I've told
About the pyramids of gold
I've got you hooked at every turn your money's left to burn

You'll be wanting a contract

You'll be waiting a while
I'd like to give you my contact
But that isn't my style

Well you only get one chance

And it's too good to miss
If I gave a lot to ya
Then I wouldn't exist

Greed, lust and angry pride

It's the same old, same old ride
The smoke and mirrors visions that you see are just like me
I'm a banker's face
With just a letter out of place
I know someone just like you knows someone just like me

El Dorado come and play

El Dorado step this way
Take a ticket for the ride
El Dorado streets of gold
See those over sold
You've got one last chance to try

So gone is the glory

And gone is the gold
Well if you need a story
I've come it has to be told

Well you can say I'm a devil

And I wouldn't say no
But out here on the dark side
Hey, on with the show

So is told
Big and bad and twice as bold
This ship of fools is sinking as the cracks begin to grow
There is no easy way
For an honest man today
Which is something you should think of as my life boat sails away
El Dorado come and play
El Dorado step this way
Take a ticket for the ride
El Dorado streets of gold
See those over sold
You've got one last chance to try

ISLE OF AVALON

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

Through the western isle I hear the dead awaken

Rising slowly to the call Avalon

The cauldron of the head of Annwyn laced with envy

Dark around its edge with pearl and destiny

All my days I’ve waited For the sign

The one that brings me closer To the Isle of Avalon
I can feel the power flowing through my veins
My heart is beating louder
Close to Avalon

I can hear you can you hear me

I can feel you can`t you feel me

Fertility Mother Goddess

Celebration sow the seeds
Of the born
The fruit of her body laden
Through the corn doll
You will pray for them all

The image of Mother Goddess

Lying dormant
In the eyes of the dead
The sheaf of the corn is broken
End the harvest
Throw the dead on the pyre

I hear her crying the tears of an Angel

The voices i hear in my head Blessed the fruits are the corn Of the earth
Mother earth holy blood of the dead

Mother Earth I can hear you Sacrifice now united

Rising levels of the tidal lakes

protect them
Keepers of the Goddess in the underworld
Holding powers of the mystics
Deep inside them
Neineteen maidens guardians
Of the otherworld

Mortal conflict born of Celtic

Legend
That apart from seven none
returned from Avalon

Mother Earth I can feel you

My rebirth now completed

Fertility Mother Goddess

Celebration sow the seeds
Of the born
The fruits of her body laden
Through the corn doll

You will pray for them all

The image of Mother Goddess

Lying dormant
In the eyes of the dead
The sheaf of the corn is broken
End the harvest
Throw the dead on the pyre

To have the belief of others

Looking for the Isle to
Show them a sign
Fertility of all mothers
Stood in silence
Waiting now for their turn

The gateway to Avalon

The island where the souls
Of dead are reborn
Brought here to die and be
Transferred into the earth
And then for rebirth

I hear her crying the tears of an Angel

The voices I hear in my head
Blessed the fruits are the corn
Of the earth
Mother earth holy blood
of the dead
The water in rivers and rhynnes
Rises quickly
Are flowing and flooding the land
The sea shall return once again
Just to hide them
Lost souls on the Isle of the dead
THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING

As he travels on the beast of Burden

Moving up along the mountain side
As he gazes looking down the valley
No regrets but his pride
As he journeys across mountain passes
Insignificance sweeps over him
His reflection of the beauty around him
Feeling empty inside
He is running from his wildest thoughts
He is running from his everything
He is looking now to find something
Hoping he could be saved
He's searching for the answer now
Is something that he's managed to avoid up until now
Looking for the conviction that he craves
He needs to find the answer sooner or later
Pushed himself to the limits
He had to strife for all the harder things in life
But what the cost to give him now
His life and time is the only things that he has
Life is is not a rehearsal, only has this the one chance to get it right
Living really is only way to know
Maybe one day they'll forgive him what he's done
with all the pain of lying too early in the grave
Destiny, no good to hide away
Hear us now, we'll be his only way
Understand, no good to run away
Hear us now, we'll be his saving grace
(solo)
Just to make his peace with God
All is forgivable but he's left a little late

Trying something that he's not

Is impossible to change such a lot
He's taken someone's life away
There's not a day that goes by he regrets what he's done
He should have found another way
But the good book says an eye for an eye
In reflecting on decisions that were made
On the judgements that will haunt him 'till his grave
No-one has the right to take another life
But in his mind he had no choice so be it
Destiny, no good to hide away
Hear us now, we'll be his only way
understand , no good to run away
Hear us now, we'll be his saving grace
Destiny, no good to hide away
Hear us now, we'll be his only way
understand, no place to run away
Hear us now, we'll be his saving grace
Far, far away
The man who would be king
Far, far away
The man who would be king
So far away
The man who would be king
So far away
The man who would be king
Far, far away
The man who would be king

THE TALISMAN

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?

We run from the evil tongues, rash

Judgements, selfish men
Never to be seen on these
Shores again.

As we sail into oceansize

And lose sight of all land
A face of contentment
Around in the air.
We're off now to
Seek all our fortunes.
To the land of our dreams.

Riding the waves and the storm

Is upon us.
The winds lash the sails but
The ropes keep them tight.
Off in the distance a dark cloud
Approaching.
None could imagine what there
Was to come.
No, there's no one going back.
No, there's not a second chance.
As we strap onto the side
We pray to God that we don't die.

As we ride the rough seas,

As we soak from the ocean waves,
I just hope for all our lives
And pray that I survive.

Four ships are lost in the

Stormy conditions.

The spirits of the sunken crews,

Their phantoms follow us.

Spirits, sails, they drive us on

Through the all consuming waves.
Cold mortality, no weapon
Against these ever raging seas.

Four leagues and ten and we

Hit storms again.
We just can't get away from
The eye of the storm.

The birds outsoar the raging storm

But we cannot escape it.
Abandoned earth that we
Now crave
Is many leagues from safe.

Holding on for our dear lives

And we're praying once again.
Rotten luck or just jonahed?
The talisman is in my hand.

Limbds fatigues, trembling with cold.

Blinded from the sea spray salt.
Clasping anything we can hold.
Heave's rain upon us falls.

Twenty days without a meal

And ten without fresh water still.
Those that didn't die in storms
The scurvy rest did slaughter.

Westwards the tide.

Westwards we sail on.
Westwards the tide.
Sail by the talisman.

We approach the other side

Of the ocean with the tide
In our favour just for once.
Welcome greeting, our new land.
The elation in our hearts,
The excitement in our veins
As we sail towards the coastline
Of our golden promised land.

Weary limbs fatigued away.

I have no life left in me.
No more strength and nothing
Left to give.
Must find the will to live.

Never thought that we could

Make it.
Truly sight of shores divine.
The sickness I am dying from.
Never wanted it to end this way.

Westwards the tide.

Westwards we sail on.
Westwards the tide.
Sail by the talisman.

COMING HOME

When I stand before you shining

In the early morning Sun
When I fell the engines roar
And I think of what we've done
Oh the bittersweet reflection
As we kiss the earth goodbye
As the waves and echoes of the
Towns become the ghosts of time

Over borders that divide the

Earthbound tribes
No creed and no religion
Just a hundred winged souls

We will ride this thunderbird

Silver shadows on the earth
A thousand leagues away

Our land of birth

To Albion's land
Coming home when I see the
Runway lights
In the misty dawn the night
Is fading fast
Coming home far away
As the vapour trails alight
Where I've been tonight
You know I will not stay

Curving on the edge of daylight

till it slips into the void
Waited in the long night dreaming
till the Sun id born again

Stretch the fingers of my hand

Cover countries with my span

Just a lonely satellite
A speck of dust in cosmin sand

Over borders that divide the

Earth tribes
Flown the dark Atlantic
Over mariners stormy graves

We will ride this thunderbird

Silver shadows on the earth
A thousand leagues away
Our land of birth

To Albion's land
Coming home when I see the
Runway lights
In the misty dawn the night
Is fading fast
Coming home far away
As the vapour trails alight
Where I've been tonight
You know I will not stay

Coming home far away

when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night
Is fading fast
Coming home far away
As the vapour trails alight
Where I've been tonight
You know I will not stay

THE ALCHEMIST

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 bu its name.

I have plundered time itself, put the world inside it,

I'm 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 Dr. 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 up the demons set free
Strange alchemy

Gather the aimless and the feckless and the lame

Hear the master summon up the spirits by their name
I curse you Edward Kelley you betrayal for eternity is damned
Know you speak with demons, you cannot command

Even as I looked into the glass then I was blinded

Burning by the Mortlake shore my house my book 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 Dr. 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 up the demons set free
Strange alchemy

Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Chain up 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

STARBLIND

Take my eyes the things I've seen in this world coming to an end
My reflection fades, I'm 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, they're on our side
All the oxygen that trapped us in a carbon spider's web
Solar winds are whispering, you may hear the sirens of the dead

Left the elders to their parley meant to satisfy our lust

Leaving Damocles still hanging over all their promised trust
Walk away from freedoms offered by their jailers 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
Religion's cruel device is gone
Empty flesh and hallowed 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 that's left to lose

Virgins in the teeth of God are meat and drink to feed the damned
You may pass through me and I will feel the life that you live less
Step into my light startripping, we will rage against the night
Walk away from comfort offered by your citizens of death

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're one with the goddess of the sun tonight

WHEN THE WILD WIND BLOW

Have you heard what they said on the news today

Have you heard what is coming to us all?
That the world as we know it will be coming to an end
Have you heard, have you heard?

He sees them in the distance when the darkened clouds roll

He could feel tension in the atmosphere
He would look in the mirror, see an old man now
Doesn't matter they survived somehow

They said there's nothing can be done about the situation

They said there's nothing you can do at all
To sit and wait around for something to occur
Did you know, did you know?

As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows

Wonders if they'll ever grow again
The desperation of the situation getting graver
Getting ready when the wild wind blows

Have you seen what they said on the news today

Have you heard what they said about us all
Do you know what is happening to just every one of us
Have you heard, have you heard?

There will be a catastrophe the like we've never seen

There will be something that will light the sky
That the world as we know it, it will never be the same
Did you know, did you know?

He carries everything into the shelter now, but first

Getting ready when the moments comes
He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two
Good to have because you never know

They tell him nothing that we don't already know about

They tell us nothing that is real at all
They only fill us with the stuff that they want
Did you know, did you know?

He's nearly finished with the preparations for the day

He's getting tired, that'll do for now
They are preparing for the very worst to come to them
Getting ready when the wild wind blows

He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down

[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/when-the-wild-wind-blows-lyrics-iron-maiden.html ]

Upside down
He sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face,
Saying Grace
Remember times they had, they flash right through his mind
Left behind
All we laughed and spent together long ago
Will be gone

They've been preparing for some weeks now

'Till when the crucial moment comes
To take their refuge in the shelter
Let them prepare for what will come

They make a tea and sit there waiting

They're in the shelter feeling snug
Not long to wait for absolution
Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait

Can't believe all the lying,

All the screams are denying
That the moments of truth have begun

Can't you see it on the TV?

Don't believe them in the least bit
Now the days of our ending have begun

Say a prayer when it's all over

Survivors, you're not always one
Got to try and help each other
Got the will to overcome

I can't believe all the lying,

All the screams are denying
That the moments of truth have begun

Can't you see it on the TV?

Don't believe them in the least bit
Now the days of our ending have begun

When they found them, had their arms wrapped around each other
The tins of poison laying near by their clothes
The day they both mistake an earthquake for the fallout,
Just another when the wild wind blows
