Brave New World lyrics

GERS / DICKINSON /HARRIS )

Out of the silent planet
Out of the silent planet we are

Withered hands, withered bodies begging for salvation
Deserted by the hand of gods of their own creation
Nations cry underneath decaying skies above
You are guilty, the punishment is death for all who live

The killing fields, the grinding wheels crushed by equilibrium

( MURRAY / HARRIS )

Like a mirage riding on the desert sand
Like a vision floating with the desert winds
Know the secret of the ancient desert lands
You are the keeper of the mystery in your hands

Nomad rider of the ancient east
Nomad rider that men know the least
Nomad where you come from no one knows
Nomad where you go to no one tells

Undercover of the veil of your disguise

SMITH / HARRIS )

Azazel is beside you and he's playing a game
Demon s are inside you and they're making their play
Watching and they're hiding as they wait for the time
For a devil to get ready and take over your mind.

You and only God would know what could be done
You and only God will know I am the only one
You and only God would know what could be done

( GERS / HARRIS )

Have you ever felt
The future is the past
But you don't know how...
A reflected dream
Of a captured time
Is it really now… is it really happening

Don't know why I feel this way
Have I dreamt this time, this place
Something vivid comes into my mind
And I think I've seen your face
Seen this room, been in this place
Something vivid comes again into my mind

GERS/HARRIS )

Pay to kill, die to lose
Hunted, hunter which you are
Diablo come again
To make trophies out of men

Lose your skin, lose your skull
One by one the sack is full
In the heat dehydrate
Know which breath will be your last

Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You've got to kill to stay alive
Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
You've got to kill to stay alive

HARRIS )

And if you're taking a walk through the garden of life
What do you think you'd expect you would see
Just like a mirror reflecting the moves of your life
And in the river reflections of me

Just for a second a glimpse of my father I see
And in a movement he beckons to me
And in a moment the memories are all that remain
And all the wounds are reopening again

MURRAY/HARRIS/DICKINSON )

Dying Swans twisted wings
Beauty not needed here
Lost my love, lost my life
In this garden of fear
I have seen many things
In a lifetime alone
Mother love is no more
Bring this savage back home

Wilderness house of pain
Makes no sense of it all
Close this mind dull this brain
Messiah before his fall
What you see is not real
Those who know will not tell

( GERS/DICKINSON/HARRIS )

I have sailed to many lands now I make my final journey
On the bow I stand, west is where I go
Through the night I plough still my heart, calculate and pray
As the compass swings my will is strong. I will not be led astray.
Mysteries of time clouds that hide the sun
But I know… I know

I see the ghosts of navigators but they are lost.

( MURRAY / HARRIS )

When a person turns to wrong
Is it a want to be, belong
Part of things at any cost
At what price a life is lost

At what point do we begin
Fighter spirit a will to win
But what makes a man decide
Take the wrong or righteous road

There's a thin line between love and hate
Wider divide that you can see between good and bad
There's a grey place between black and white

( SMITH/HARRIS/DICKINSON )

Hand of fate is moving and the finger points to you
He knocks you to your feet and so what are you gonna do
Your tongue has frozen now you've got something to say
The piper at the gates of dawn is calling you his way.

You watch the world exploding every single night
Dancing in the sun a new born in the light
Say goodbye to gravity and say goodbye to death

[Harris/Dickinson]
