Brighter Than A Thousand Suns lyrics

We are not the sons of God
We are not his chosen people now
We have crossed the path he trod
We will feel the pain of his beginning

Shadow fingers rise above
Iron finger stab the desert sky
Oh behold the power of man
Oh it's tower, ready for fall

Knocking the heads together we'll
Raise a city, build a living hell
Join te race to suicide
Listen for the tolling of the bell

Different World lyrics

You lead me on the path
Keep showing me the way
I feel a little lost
A little strange today

I think I'll take a hold
Of whatever comes my way
Then we'll see what happens
Take it day by day

I thought I had it all
I had it all worked out
Just what my future held
That there would be no doubt

But then the card came up
And I took another turn
But I don't know if it's
Fulfilment that I yearn

For The Greater Good Of God lyrics

Are you a man of peace
Or man of holy war
Too many sides to you
Don't know which anymore
So many full of life
But also filled with pain
Don't know just how many
Will live to breath again

A life that's made to breath
destruction or defence
A mind that's vain corruption
bad or good intent
A wolf in sheep's clothing
Or saintly or sinner
Or some that would believe
A holy war winner

Lord Of Light lyrics

There are secrets that you keep
There are secrets that you keep
There are secrets that you tell to me alone
I can't reach things I can't see
You don't see this strange world
quite the same as me
Don't deny me what I am
Nothing to hidden still you fail to see the truth
These are things you can't reveal
These are things you can't reveal

We are part of some strange plan

Out Of The Shadows lyrics

Hold a halo round the world
Golden is the day
Princes of the Universe,
your burden is the way
So there is no better time,
who will born today
A gyosy child at day break
A King for a day

Out of the Shadow and into the sun
Dreams of the past as the old ways are done
Oh there is beauty and surely there is pain
But we must endure it, to live again

Dusty dreams in the fading daylight

The Legacy lyrics

Tell you a thing
That yoy ought to know
Two minutes of your time
Then on you go

Tell tale of the men
All dressed in black
That most of them
Not coming back

Sent off to war
To play little games
And on their return
Can't name no names

Some strange yellow gas
Has played with their minds
Has reddened their eyes
Removed all the lies

And strange as it sounds
Death know no bounds
How many get well

The Longest Day lyrics

In the gloom the gathering storm abates
In the ships gimlet eyes await
The call to arms to hammer at the gates
To blow them wide throw evil to its fate.

All summers long the drills to build the machine
To turn men from flesh and blood to steel
From paper soldiers to bodies on the beach
From summer sands to armageddon's reach

Overlord, your master not your god

The Pilgrim lyrics

The keys to death and hell
The ailing kingdom doomed to fail
The bonds of sin and heart will break
The pilgrims course will take

Quelling the devils might
And ready for enternal fight
Aching limbs and fainting soul
Holy battles take their toll

Liberty and hope divine
Changing the water into wine
So to you we bid farewell
Kingdom of heaven to hell

Spirit holy life eternal

The Reincarnation Of Benjamin Breeg lyrics

Let me tell you about my life
Let me tell you about my dreams
Let me tell you about the things that happen
Always real to me

Let me tell you of my hope
Of my need to reach the sky
Let me take you on an awkward journey
Let me tell you why
Let me tell you why

Why should these curses be laid upon me
I won't be forgiven 'til I can break free
What did I do to deserve all this guilt

These Colours Don't Run lyrics

It's the same in every country
when you say you're leaving
Left behind the loved ones
waiting silent in the hall
Where you're going lies adventure
others only dream of
Red and green light this is real
And so you go to war

For the passion, for the glory,
for the memories, for the money
You're a sholdier, for you're country
What's the difference, all the same

Far away from the land of our birth
