"Woe to you, Oh Earth and Sea, for the Devil sends the
beast with wrath, because he knows the time is short...
Let him who hath understanding
reckon the number of the
beast for it is a human number, its number is Six hundred and
sixty six."
[Revelations CH. XIII v.18]

I left alone my mind was blank
I needed time to think to get the memories from my mind

When the king of twilight shows me
I will take ten steps to see
Forty leaves I pay for freedom

For a chance to be free
For a chance to be free

When the king of twilight calls you
take a step and you will see
We all need a quick solution

For a chance to be free
For a chance to be free
Free

When the king of twilight shows me
I will take ten steps to see

In the heat of the morning
when your day is still dawning
And your bird, she's singing
Catch your soul, he's willing to fly away

Packed your bags in a hurry
Because your mind's in a worry
Mark my words, you're gonna be sorry if you ever fly away

Sweet little girl with the Saint Da Vinci-smile
Stares at me with sadness in her eyes
I'm not sure if she's really real or make-believe

He threw down a glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you're gone
The choosing of guns or figthing with swords
The choise of weapons is gone
He'll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don't have a chance

[Chorus:]
OH...OH... Fight for the Honour
Fight for the Splendour
Fight for the Pleasure
OH...OH... Fight for the Honour
Fight for the Splendour

( Harris )

Hear the rime of the Ancient Mariner
See his eye as he stops one of three
Mesmerises one of the wedding guests
Stay here and listen to the nightmares
of the sea.

And the music plays on, as the bride passes by
Caught by his spell and
the Mariner tells his tale.

Driven south to the land of snow and ice
To a place where nobody’s been
Through the snow fog flies on the albatross

( Dickinson )

Into the Abyss I’ll fall-the eye of Horus
Into the eyes of the night-watching me go
Green is the cat’s eye that glows-
in this Temple
Enter the risen Osiris-risen again.
Chorus:
Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave
I don’t wanna die, I’m a God,
why can’t I live on
When the Life Giver dies,
all around is laid waste.
And in my last hour,
I’m a slave to the Power of Death.

( Smith / Dickinson )

Turn the spotlights on the people,
Switch the dial and eat the worm,
Take your chances, kill the engine,
Drop your bombs and let it burn.

White flags shot to ribbons,
The truce is black and burned,
Shellshock in the kitchen,
Tables overturned.
Chorus:
Back in the village again,
In the village,
I’m back in the village again.

Throwing dice now, rolling loaded,

( Harris )

He threw down the glove you made the mistake
Of picking it up now you’re gone
The choosing of guns or fighting with swords
The choice of weapons is done
He’ll tear you apart as soon as you start
You know you don’t have a chance.
Chorus:
OH....OH...Fight for the Honour
Fight for the Splendour Fight for the Pleasure
OH....OH...Fight for the Honour Fight for the Splendour

( Dickinson )

As a young boy chasing Dragons
with your wooden sword so mighty.
You’re St. George or you’re David and you always
killed the beast.
Times change very quickly,
And you had to grow up early,
A house in smoking ruins and the bodies at your feet.

Chorus:
You’ll die as you lived
In a flash of a blade,
In a corner forgotten by no-one.
You lived for the touch

( Smith / Dickinson )

Kill for gain or shoot to maim
But we don’t need a reason
The Golden Goose is on the loose
And never out of season.
Blackened pride still burns inside
This shell of bloody treason
Here’s my gun for a barrel of fun
For the love of living death.

The killer’s breed or the Demon’s seed,
The glamour, the fortune, the pain,
Go to war again, blood is freedom’s stain,

( Harris )

There goes the siren that warns of the air raid
Then comes the sound of the guns sending flak
Out for the scramble we’ve got to get airborne
Got to get up for the coming attack.

Jump in the cockpit and start up the engines
Remove all the wheelblocks
there’s no time to waste
Gathering speed as we head down the runway
Gotta get airborne before it’s too late
