War Pigs1. E5150(Instrumental) 2. NEON KNIGHTS Oh no, here it comes again Can't remember when we came so close to love before Hold on, good things never last Nothing's in the past, it always seems to come again Again and again and again Cry out to legions of the brave Time again to save us from the jackals of the street Ride out, protectors of the realm Capatin's at the helm, sail across the sea of lights Circles and rings, dragons and kings Weaving a charm and a spell Blessed by the night, holy and bright Called by the toll of the bell Bloodied angels fast descending Moving on a never-bending light Phantom figures free forever Out of shadows, shining ever-bright Neon Knights! Neon Knights! All right! Cry out to legions of the brave Time again to save us from the jackals of the street Ride out, protectors of the realm Capatin's at the helm, sail across the sea of lights Again and again, again and again and again Neon Knights! Neon Knights! All right! 3. N.I.B. Oh yeah! Some people say my love cannot be true Please believe me, my love, and I'll show you I will give you those things you thought unreal The sun, the moon, the stars all bear my seal Oh yeah! Follow me now and you will not regret Leaving the life you led before we met You are the first to have this love of mine Forever with me 'till the end of time Your love for me has just got to be real Before you know the way I'm going to feel I'm going to feel I'm going to feel Oh yeah! Now I have you with me, under my power Our love grows stronger now with every hour Look into my eyes, you will see who I am My name is Lucifer, please take my hand Oh yeah! Follow me now and you will not regret leaving the life you led before we met You are the first to have this love of mine Forever with me 'till the end of time Your love for me has just got to be real Before you know the way I'm going to feel I'm going to feel I'm going to feel Oh yeah! Now I have you with me, under my power Our love grows stronger now with every hour Look into my eyes, you will see who I am My name is Lucifer, please take my hand 4. CHILDREN OF THE SEA In the misty morning, on the edge of time We've lost the rising sun, a final sign As the misty morning rolls away to die Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky We sailed across the air before we learned to fly We thought that it could never end We'd glide above the ground before we learned to run, run Now it seems our world has come undone Oh they say that it's over And it just had to be Ooh they say that it's over We're lost children of the sea, oh We made the mountains shake with laughter as we played Hiding in our corner of the world Then we did the demon dance and rushed to nevermore Threw away the key and locked the door Oh they say that it's over, yeah And it just had to be Yes they say that it's over We're lost children of the sea In the misty morning, on the edge of time We've lost the rising sun, a final sign As the misty morning rolls away to die Reaching for the stars, we blind the sky Oh they say that it's over, yeah And it just had to be Oh they say that it's over Poor lost children of the sea, yeah LOOK OUT! The sky is falling down! LOOK OUT! The world is spinning round and round and round! LOOK OUT! The sun is going black, black LOOK OUT! It's never never never coming back, LOOK OUT! 5. COUNTRY GIRL Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul Her eyes were an endless flame, holy lightning Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, yeah We sailed away on a crimson tide, gone forever Left my heart on the other side, all to break it into bits Her smile was a winter song, a Sabbath ending Don't sleep or you'll find me gone, just an image in the air In dreams I think of you I don't know what to do with myself Time has let me down She brings broken dreams, fallen stars, the endless search for where you are (sail on, sail on) Fell in love with a country girl, morning sunshine She was up from a nether world, just to bust another soul Her eyes were an endless flame, unholy lady Desire with a special name, made to snatch your soul away, oh! Don't sail away on a crimson tide! Don't leave your heart on the other side! Her eyes are an endless flame Desire with a special name Don't ever fall in love! Don't give your heart away! No never, never fall in love with a country girl! 6. BLACK SABBATH What is this that stands before me? Figure in black which points at me Turn around quick, and start to run Find out I'm the chosen one Oh nooo! Big black shape with eyes of fire Telling people their desire Satan's sitting there, he's smiling Watches those flames get higher and higher Oh no, no, please God help me! Is it the end, my friend? Satan's coming 'round the bend People running 'cause they're scared The people better go and beware! No, no, please, no! 7. WAR PIGS Generals gathered in their masses Just like witches at black masses Evil minds that plot destruction Sorcerers of death's construction In the fields the bodies burning As the war machine keeps turning Death and hatred to mankind Poisoning their brainwashed minds, oh lord yeah! Politicians hide themselves away They only started the war Why should they go out to fight? They leave that role to the poor Time will tell on their power minds Making war just for fun Treating people just like pawns in chess Wait 'till their judgement day comes, yeah! Now in darkness, world stops turning As the war machine keeps burning No more war pigs of the power Hand of god has sturck the hour Day of judgement, god is calling On their knees, the war pigs crawling Begging mercy for their sins Satan, laughing, spreads his wings All Right Now! 8. SLIPPING AWAY Slipping away, just a heartbeat from disaster Nothing could make me stay, close your eyes and I'll be gone Turn the page, yeah, time to start another story Slipping away, slipping away, time to move along No reason to stay oh, when I'm slipping away Take a look at yourself, you've been running in a circle Round and round you go, you're a start without an end Start a new life, yeah, from the city of the gypsies Running away, slipping away, right behind the plow Slipping away Slipping away Nobody to pay look out, 'cause I'm slipping away Rockin' the glass, I won't leave you my reflection A future without a past, no more road to take me back Come if you will, just don't question my direction Running away, slipping away, we can find the sun Slipping away Slipping away got nobody to pay and you're slippin' away No more running in a circle it's time to move along round, round, round we go a start without an end so I'm slipping away Slipping away 9. IRON MAN Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind? Can he walk at all, Or if he moves will he fall? Is he alive or dead? Has he thoughts within his head? We'll just pass him there Why should we even care? He was turned to steel In the great magnetic field Where he traveled time For the future of mankind Nobody wants him He just stares at the world Planning his vengeance That he will soon unfold Now the time is here For Iron Man to spread fear Vengeance from the grave Kills the people he once saved Nobody wants him They just turn their heads Nobody helps him Now he has his revenge Heavy boots of lead Fills his victims full of dread Running as fast as they can Iron Man lives again! 10. THE MOB RULES Close the city and tell the people that something's coming to call Death and darkness are rushing forward to take a bite from the wall, oh You've nothing to say They're breaking away If you listen to fools... The Mob Rules The Mob Rules Kill the spirit and you'll be blinded, the end is always the same Play with fire, you burn your fingers and lose your hold of the flame, oh It's over, it's done the end is begun If you listen to fools... The Mob Rules You've nothing to say Oh, They're breaking away If you listen to fools... Break the circle and stop the movement, the wheel is thrown to the ground Just remember it might start rolling and take you right back around You're all fools! The Mob Rules! 11. HEAVEN & HELL Sing me a song, you're a singer Do me a wrong, you're a bringer of evil The Devil is never a maker The less that you give, you're a taker So it's on and on and on, it's Heaven and Hell, oh well The lover of life's not a sinner The ending is just a beginner The closer you get to the meaning the sooner you'll know that you're dreaming So it's on and on and on, oh it's on and on and on It goes on and on and on, Heaven and Hell I can tell, fool, fool! Well if it seems to be real, it's illusion For every moment of truth, there's confusion in life Love can be seen as the answer, but nobody bleeds for the dancer And it's on and on, on and on and on.... They say that life's a carousel Spinning fast, you've got to ride it well The world is full of Kings and Queens Who blind your eyes and steal your dreams It's Heaven and Hell, oh well And they'll tell you black is really white The moon is just the sun at night And when you walk in golden halls You get to keep the gold that falls It's Heaven and Hell, oh no! Fool, fool! You've got to bleed for the dancer! Fool, fool! Look for the answer! Fool, fool, fool! 12. PARANOID Finished with my woman 'cause she couldn't help me with my mind People think I'm insane because I am frowning all the time All day long I think of things but nothing seems to satisfy Think I'll lose my mind if I don't find something to pacify Can you help me, occupy my brain? Oh yeah I need someone to show me the things in life that I can't find I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late 13. VOODOO Say you don't know me, you'll burn you can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me Say you don't want me, you'll learn nothin you do will be new, 'cause I'm through Call me a liar, you knew you were a fool, but that's cool, it's all right Call me the Devil, it's true some can't accept but I crept inside you So if a stranger calls you Don't let him whisper his name 'Cause it's Voodoo, oh! Fade into shadow, you'll burn your fortune is free, I can see it's no good Never look back, never turn It's a question of time 'till your mine and you learn So if a stranger sees you Don't look in his eyes 'Cause he's Voodoo! Say you don't know me, you'll burn you can refuse, but you'll lose, it's by me Say you don't want me, you'll learn nothin you do will be new, 'cause I'm through Voodoo! Bring me your children, they'll burn! Never look back, never turn! Cry me a river, you'll learn Voodoo!! 14. CHILDREN OF THE GRAVE Revolution in their minds - the children start to march Against the world they have to live in Oh! the hate that's in their hearts They're tired of being pushed around and told just what to do They'll fight the world until they've won and love comes flowing through Children of tomorrow live in the tears that fall today Will the sunrise of tomorrow bring in peace in any way Must the world live in the shadow of atomic fear Can they win the fight for peace or will they disappear? So you children of the world listen to what say If you want a better place to live in spread the world today Show the world that love is still alive you must be brave Or your children of today are children of the grave |
