Lyrics - All the same

There are whispers out in the world 
to cast us from the same mould
Let the age of reason begin
We have no place for wild men

Unwitting slave to the game
We must all become the same
Danger is the silence that walks
let's bury it in small talk

We know what's right and what is not
All worth thinking has been thought
Ignore the voice that says its wrong
We can do worse than conform

We let everyone decide,
Behind the many we can hide
The greater good we now serve
we are dead, do not disturb

I will run but I wont race
I will say it to your face
I will fight but I won't hate
You can wipe that off your slate

You give labels to my name
to who I am, to what I am
Well I will write the script anew
Change everything you think I'll do

Lyrics - Fire in the Streets

A thousand years of doing, without knowing why
A thousand more of being told, what is wrong and right

Freedom locked in empty words, hidden in plain sight
New hope is outlawed, by ancient laws abide

The streets are where we fight, 
we claim our birthright.

There's fire in the streets
Old temples burn
Your god is dead
and now its your turn

Bow to gods and idols, wherever they may lead
Our lives held hostage, to our neighbour's need
Take the coward's way out, leave the thoughts to me
Look to other, higher world, misery is the key

Dead wood is cast aside
Burnt in the streets tonight


There's fire in the streets

Old temples burn
Your god is dead
and now its your turn .

Lyrics - Rockout

The long empty hours of waiting are done 
The moment for which we've been waiting is come
Hard days of working of begging our turn

**Put something or the other here**

Some drinks have gone down, some smoke has gone up
Those who can't make it are shit  out of luck
We are all set, on your mark, lock and load
Ladies and Gents lets get this show on the road


This is a rockout
This is a rockout

Run from the lies we have told on your way
Dirty little games that we play everyday
The demons you want to keep out of the doors
Is the cross you carry, the guilt ours and yours

We're tired of talking that don't mean a thing
We're tired of dying for our living
We're tired of playing at I didn't do
That's what brings us here and what brings you too


This is a rockout
This is a rockout

It's not about posing, about being a star
This  is what is real, this is who we are
What matters is that at the end of the day
We've got things to say and we say them our way

We bring the words for you, we bring the lights
We like it loud, the noise is our voice
Know this that your brains we're turning tonight 
So headbang or head home is your only choice

This is a rockout
This is a rockout
This is a rockout
This is a rockout

Lyrics - Drift Away

I wake up late, get out of bed
still in the jumble, inside my head
I see my baby,what's up with you
Let's do whatever, you want to do 

She's all dressed up, just waves her hands
I gotta go, go see some friends
She walks away, still on the phone,
It's friday night, and I'm alone

Drift Away...
Drift Away...

I have a friend, he knows the blues,
He play them slow, or fast and loose
I go to him, but at the door, 
He say he don't, don't play no more

Nothin for me, to do or say
Nothing to do, but walk away
See what I find, knocking around
I find myself, this part of town

Drift Away...
Drift Away...

The lights are dim,The drink is cheap
The kind of company I like to keep
So I walk in, with my guitar
to play the blues, in this bar
 
I am alone, if so are you
If you aint got, nothing to do
Just relax let the music play
and all together, lets drift away

Drift Away...
Drift Away...

Lyrics - End is me

The miles burn beneath my feet
another fork Im yet to meet
A friend who lies beyond the bend
or long gone by

The world I leave far behind
nothing really on my mind
greet the stranger in my head
watch him smile

Long indeed has been the wait
of memories to celebrate
lingering hazes of good times
and hurt and cry

Many masks on faces turn
as the dripping candles burn
Stand in judgement of a word
that was mine

With the blossom's sad demise
ever proud, ever wise
When the green has turned to gold
withered and died

Delusions of stem and dark
at the place of birth and dark
There att last, the end is me
that I find

Let the wheels roll on forever
Let the dream go on forever

Lyrics - Lament of a vigilante

Under the falling darkness
and with the rising stars
whispers and shadows breeding
born in the dark

Walking down the lonely alleys
with footsteps right behind
A scream breaks the silence
The watchers go blind

The victim starts to panic
and then hope seems to shine
I must surely come to save them
this city is mine

And should the sands run out on them
on me the blame must fall
if not they shrug and say that its
my job that's all

I don't wanna be a hero
I  dont wanna save the world
I'm cold, tired and lonely
wont you please take me home

More than a dark defender
A man of sword and shade
Has someone thought of him adn
has someone cared

The feeling of being locked up
locked up inside a cage
Sometimes it turns to tears and
sometimes to rage

They say your greatest duty
is to your fellow man
the man in me dies each day but
the duty remains

One day the end will come for me
that day they will scream in vain
and so it goes on till someone
chooses to die again

I don't wanna be a hero
I don't wanna save the world
I'm cold, tired and lonely
Won't you please take me home

Lyrics - (You'll never) Walk alone

I know you're leaving, to seek your dreams beyond the place where earth and heavens meet among the stars.
Maybe the boundaries of space and time and destiny will set our paths apart until the end
The days behind me, will cast your shadows on the hours and days and night left to me.
And you will find me, walking by your side when the road gets too lonely for you.

Oh.. you'll never walk alone

I will be ready, when you set out at dawn;I'll be weary at the fall of night
I will be weeping, at every cut and bruise and misfortune that fate send your way.
And celebrating, for every step ahead till the long walk home is done
I will be waiting, for the end because that is when we will meet again.


Oh.. you'll never walk alone

Goodbye my friend, till we meet again
Goodbye my friend, till we meet again
Goodbye my friend, we will meet again
Goodbye my friend, we will meet again

Lyrics - Let it rain

Walking beneath dripping leaves and the same clouded sky
I try to deny every moment but they call my lie
I know I've been haunting this mansion of memories alone
Convince me that this isn't the place that I used to own

Covered in mischief and misery and laughter and pain
Let me be washed of my memories and now let it rain

The fighting and hiding but always uniting its a dream
Help me to forget your touch as if it had never been
Remind me to forget the roads I have taken till now
Remind me of the next step I should be taking and how

Covered in mischief and misery and laughter and pain
Let me be washed of my memories and now let it rain

Invictus(by William Ernest Henley)

Out of the night that covers me,
Black as the Pit from pole to pole,
I thank whatever gods may be
For my unconquerable soul.

In the fell clutch of circumstance
I have not winced nor cried aloud.
Under the bludgeonings of chance
My head is bloody, but unbowed.

Beyond this place of wrath and tears
Looms but the Horror of the shade,
And yet the menace of the years
Finds, and shall find, me unafraid.

It matters not how strait the gate,
How charged with punishments the scroll.
I am the master of my fate:
I am the captain of my soul.

Lyrics - Someone Else's Business

The world was new; and we were too,wits and sweat made us humans
And then you came;your claim to fame,were all your names and your games
What we begun when it was we went to sleep on our throne
and when we woke from our sleep the world we made was gone

All that we ever made,
is a gun held to our head
locked in our gilded cage
and left for dead...

I'm still alive, it's still my life
there's no one else, but I'll still fight
I won't give in, 'coz deep within
I know it's not some-one-else's-business

All that we knew was how to do;something for me and for you
We trusted you to follow too, and we would always come through
You said forget those days are dead and what the world really needs,
is narrow creeds, and dirty deeds, and all the things that hate breeds

We who know what is best,
have left it to the rest
you turn and walk away
'coz it not your mess


I'm still alive, it's still my life
there's no one else, but I'll still fight
I won't give in, 'coz deep within
I know it's not some-one-else's-business

Lyrics - Reality Check

Frog in the well, thinks the world is small
thinks he's seen places he's seen ti all.
Frog in the well,in the god's image
playing his part on a great big stage

Wake up! wake up! the world comes marching
Wake up! wake up!From the dream you're lost in
Wake up! The truth is breathing down your neck
Wake up! Wake Up! reality check.

Frog in the well,knows how to be
they showed it to him on the TV
Frog in the well,knows what none can see
whats not his word is just heresy

Wake up! wake up! the world comes marching
Wake up! wake up!From the dream you're lost in
Wake up! The truth is breathing down your neck
Wake up! Wake Up! reality check.

Reality Check..

Reality Check..

Lyrics - The booze song

Yeah when the lights go down
Then let the fun begin
For us the day starts over
At the setting of sun

Riding the golden beast
Into the purple haze
Strange and misshapen creatures
Walk through my stony gaze

Bumping through people looking
For my whiskey and wine
The last thing I remember
Is telling them I’m fine

Till I am walking talking
Get me another shot
All I meet are my brothers
Or friends that I forgot

Outro:
I’m one with my dreams,
The laughter and screams
I’m drunk and I’m stoned
It’s time to go home

Lyrics - One man army

This song is based on a true story of a battle between the English  and the Vikings in 1066 A.D. where one viking held a bridge against the entire attacking English army which allowed the hugely outnumbered vikings to escape to fight another day (They were eventually defeated in the war though). This is basically a heavy metal documentary on the events of the day.


I open my eyes, to a blood red dawn
with my brothers, in a land unknown
and now the foe, come marching in
I draw my blade, and pray to Odin.

Five to one, horses and feet
I swallow my pride, and begin to retreat
Over a bridge, I turn and roar
my brothers are dead, I can run no more

He turns and stands upon the bridge so none of  them can pass
with threats and taunts and sneers and barbs he begins to harass
They rush him with their arms to finish what he has begun
to find that weapons wouldn't bite upon this lonely one

Their heads and hands and legs and lives he takes to keep as his
the man forgotten long ago a berserker now lives
The day grows old the line grows thin the carnage carries on
a savage god come unto earth upon his grisly throne

lo! there do I see my father
lo! there do I see my mother and my brothers and my sisters
lo! there do I see the line of my people back to the beginning
lo! they call unto me and bid me take my place among them
in Valhalla, where the brave may live forever.

A spear strikes, upon my back
with no honour, cowards attack
my brothers are safe, at our fleet
I smile and join, the gods at their feast.

Lyrics - Freedom

Every night I see, tragedies unfolding
Every day I hear, the calls to do something
These causes with passion and reasons you give
Take them if you want, it's not my fight
My fight is not for my right to live
It's for my chance,my chance to hide

Freedom (oh  won't you save my)
Freedom (who can take it away)
Freedom (will take care of itself)
Freedom (is here to stay)

All the great men, the statues glorify
If not  for me, then tell me why they died
Some one should take up the mantle that fell
from the makers of August the 15
I'll stand on the sidelines and cheer when I can
Heroes these days are too far and between

Freedom (oh  won't you save my)
Freedom (who can take it away)
Freedom (will take care of itself)
Freedom (is here to stay)

If I do all this, who'll get the real work done
and it won't change a thing, because I am only one
There's too much to lose and I don't feel up to it
So stop asking me why don't you go and do it
If history asks I'll deny that I knew it
I kept my head down and eyes closed to get through it

Freedom.....
Freedom.....

The vagaries of unbidden dreams

Strange dreams, wicked dreams.
and the voices in my head
offer every serpernt's fruit
deal every hand of dread

the sights, the sounds, the sickly taste,
and the touch upon my skin
are all the different faces of
the  demons lurking deep within

Some feeble conscious part of me
whispers - "It's not real! It's not real!"
but in that twilight of life,
more real than real it feels.

All that my waking thoughts bury
beneath everlasting shame
runs amok, twisted mirage
the other me then takes the blame

And then I must wake and walk
amongst all my fellow men
and hold my smiles and frowns and laugh
when I think of where I had been

Though hidden meanings seem to lie
in every eye which at me stares
I cannot really help but think
were they with me when I was there.
