Betrayed by the devil
03:09
|

I made a deal with the Devil
I made a deal with the Devil
I made a deal with the Devil
I made a deal with the Devil
While the world was sleeping
In the darkest night
I made a deal with the devil
Turned away from the light
I sold my soul to Lucifer
Heard the demons cry
But it was a bad bargain
Cos the devil lies
Lost my wife and children
Lost all of my friends
Found the bottom of a bottle
Trying to reach the end
Now the Devil made some promises he couldn't keep
Thought that it was cool but I was in too deep
Should have seen it coming but my eyes were blind
You can't trust the Devil cos the Devil lies
Now the Devil is devious, looks inside your mind
Lists your wildest desires, then forces you to sign
Better heed my warning if you're feeling low
If the Devil comes calling gotta just say no
I've been betrayed by the Devil
I've been betrayed by the Devil
While the world was sleeping
In the darkest night
I made a deal with the devil
Turned away from the light
I made a deal with the Devil
I made a deal with the Devil
I made a deal with the Devil
Now the Devil made some promises he couldn't keep
Thought that it was cool but I was in too deep
Should have seen it coming but my eyes were blind
You can't trust the Devil cos the Devil lies

Don't tell me your problems
I can't make them go away
You know what you've got to do
And there's nothing to lose, today
No good sitting there moping
The answer is in your hands
Cos action's better than hoping
That it's all just part of the plan
Don't tell me your problems
I can't make them go away
You know what you've got to do
And you've nothing to lose, today
Don't tell me your problems
I can't make them go away
You know what you've got to do
And there's nothing to lose, today
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
There's no point in just waiting
You're gonna blow a fuse
Worrying about failing when
You've got nothing to lose
Don't tell me your problems
I can't make them go away
You know what you've got to do
And there's nothing to lose, today
Don't tell me your problems
I can't make them go away
You know what you've got to do
And you've nothing to lose, today
Nothing to lose
Nothing to lose
You know what you've got to do
And you've nothing to lose, today

Viking hordes
03:24
|
|||
Children of Odin rise
Gather your shields and swords
Guided by starry skies
To land upon distant shores
Homes to plunder, lands to seize
No surrender death to all
Blood will flow the gods appeased
Until we hear Valhalla͛s call
Sweeping across the land
Warriors from the fjords
Slaughtering all who stand
Against the Viking hordes
Homes to plunder, lands to seize
No surrender death to all
Blood will flow the gods appeased
we hear Valhalla͛s call
Farmers, builders, monks and priests, women, children rogues and thieves none survive our
rampage through the land
Rape and pillage bring relief, domination our belief the weak will cow before our iron hand
Over mountains ͚cross the streams,
Moorland bogs and grassy fields
You will hear the battle screams
As each new village yields
After battle victory feasts our victims have some tasty beasts and potent wine inspires us soon to
song
But conquering comes at a cost, we drink for those who we have lost, Valhalla and Folkvangr they
belong
Guitar
Once we have conquered all
Our thoughts to our families turn
Despite the battle͛s call
Hearts for our loved ones yearn
Wounds to heal and homes to make
Old men tire of Viking raids
We won͛t just fight for fightings sake
Homes to build, goods to trade
Then when our children grow
To new lands their thoughts will roam
Down to the boats they go
To fight to a brand new home
Homes to plunder, lands to seize
No surrender death to all
Blood will flow the gods appeased
They hear Valhalla͛s call

The pixie dance
04:18
|
|||
Come on everybody let us take a walk
Down by the river where the breezes talk
Watch from the bushes as the scene unfolds
See the pixies dancing round their pot of gold
Stand by the clearing where the moonlight strays
Beat out a rhythm while the music plays
Come on everybody let us a take a chance
And join in the magic of the pixie dance oh yeah
Dancing in a circle underneath the stars
Not sure about it but we’ve gone too far
Feel like we’re falling when we’re standing up
Drinking weird spirits from a buttercup
Hearing the rhythm of the pipes and strings
Music from heaven when the fairies sing
Turn to the left and then we all advance
And that’s when you’re doing the pixie dance oh yeah
Take a chance with the pixie dance
Take a chance with the pixie dance
Take a chance with the pixie dance
Take a chance with the pixie dance
Stand in a circle with your legs apart
Join hands together and the dance can start
Turn to your partner with a little bow
Clap hands together with the beat somehow
Bend at the knees and then you make a jump
Joined at the hip with a little bump
Watch with amazement as the elves all prance
Glad that you’re part of the pixie dance oh yeah

Little red van
03:41
|
|||
I want a change of scenery
A change of life, a change of pace
I want to - explore the world
I want respite from this rat race
chorus
In my little red van, my hotel on wheels
My little red van, with seats and a bed
My little red van, where I can cook my meals
My little van, painted Ruby red
That was my world - my prison
I'm now free from its roof and walls
Let me see fields and mountains
Rivers and lakes and waterfalls
chorus
In my little red van, my hotel on wheels
My little red van, with seats and a bed
My little red van, where I can cook my meals
My little van, painted Ruby red
The open road stretches ahead
The world is all mine to see
The picture is forever changing
The shackles removed, I am free
chorus
In my little red van, my hotel on wheels
My little red van, with seats and a bed
My little red van, where I can cook my meals
My little van, painted Ruby red
alt chorus
In my little van, the skies are blue
In my little van, the fields are green
In my little van, the sun is golden
My little red van paints a colourful scene
chorus
In my little red van, my hotel on wheels
My little red van, with seats and a bed
My little red van, where I can cook my meals
My little van, painted Ruby red

Reality star

What you gonna do when the money’s gone
From the heights you’ve climbed well you’ve gotta fall
How you gonna live when your friends have gone
What you gonna do when you ain’t got nothing at all
So they shout your name while the cameras whirr
Since you sold your soul your life’s a blur
Life is looking up since you found your fame
Nothing to be proud of but you got no shame
Moving round and round in the chat show scene
Finding new sensations in between
Really want to know what is in your head
When you’re finding new celebrities to share your bed
Measuring success by your YouTube views
But pretty soon your gonna be last week’s news
You haven’t got real friends just your hangers on
You’ll be on your own when the money’s gone

The druids’ prayer
04:24
|
|||
Spoken prayer
Dyro Dduwies dy Nawdd;
Ag yn nawdd, nerth;
Ag yn nerth, Deall;
Ag yn Neall, Gwybod;
Ac yngwybod, gwybod y cyfiawn;
Ag yngwybod yn cyfiawn, ei garu;
Ag o garu, caru pob hanfod;
Ag ymhob Hanfod, caru Duwies.
Duwies a phob Daioni
Sung/Chanted
Dark night, I see them walking
Dark night, I sense their presence
Dark night, I hear them talking
Distant voices overheard
Dark night, I hear them praying
Dark night, I smell their fire
Dark night, what are they saying
I hear the voice but not the word
Dark night, to the circle of stone
Dark night, the procession goes
Dark night, to the sacred throne
Distant figures, emerge from the night
Dark night, the wise men walk
Dark night, berobed and bejeweled
Dark night, the wise men talk
Ghostly figures, lit by torchlight
SLOW
Verse
A silver chalice, encrusted with jewels
A symbol of hope, a symbol of rules
A golden sword, it's mighty length
A statement of the Druids' strength
Chorus
Between the stones, sword held high
An offering is made to the sky
Fires burning, torches flare
Listen to the Druid's Prayer
Instrumental/chanting bit building up to....
FAST – LET's ROCK!!!
Verse
Horizon bathed in an orange glow
The new dawn is encroaching
The new day's sun will soon show
The new year is now approaching
Chorus
Between the stones, sword held high
An offering is made to the sky
Fires burning, torches flare
Listen to the Druid's Prayer
Verse
A chalice full of wine is raised
Inscriptions are read from a tablet of stone
Olwen god of the sun is praised
She takes her place at the sacred throne
Chorus
Between the stones, sword held high
An offering is made to the sky
The wise men stand in sunlit glare
Olwen's heard the Druids' prayer

Believe
03:39
|
|||
I know we can make it,
Give me something to
Belive in everything you say
That makes me want to sing
Relieve the pressure on my mind
That paranoia thing
I know I still love you
I need something to
Believe the hunger in your eyes
That fills me with desire
Recieve the passion you provide
Surrender to your fire
I know I can love you
I need something to believe
I still want to love you
Give me something to
Deny the rumours that I hear
Convince me they're not true
Decry the stories of affairs
Persuade me it's not you
I know I still love you
I need something to
Surpress the nagging in my mind
That all you say is lies
Carress the darkest thoughts away
And let my spirits rise
I know we can make it
I need something to believe
Lies in everything you say
Deceit in all you do
But I'll love you anyway
I won't believe it's true
Lies in everything you say
Deceit in all you do
But I, I'll love you anyway
I won't believe it's true
Lies in everything you say
I need something to
Belive in everything you say
That makes me want to sing
Relieve the pressure on my mind
That paranoia thing
I know I still love you
I need something to
Believe the hunger in your eyes
That fills me with desire
Recieve the passion you provide
Surrender to your fire
I know I can love you
I need something to believe

In a cornfield, full of crops
Near to a burbling brook
In that landscape is a woman
With a determined look
PRE-CHORUS
The wind it blows
Her long golden hair
As Tina wondered
Who had been there
CHORUS
The truth she will deliver
Their story told at last
Peeling back the layers
To reveal the past
VERSE
Armed only with a trowel
She gently scrapes the soil
What stories would she find
After a hard week's toil
PRE-CHORUS
A hand drawn map
Her guiding light
A faint pencil line
But it shines so bright
CHORUS
The truth she will deliver
Their story told at last
Peeling back the layers
To reveal the past
VERSE
Through the topsoil, through the modern
The centuries are revealed
In each layer hides a story
Past lives in that field
PRE-CHORUS
Each broken pot
Thrown in a midden
Knows part of the story
That's long been hidden
The truth she will deliver
Their story told at last
Peeling back the layers
To reveal the past
BRIDGE
Tina needs to dig much deeper
She remains steadfast
Further down in time she goes
Two millennia in the past
Is it here? maybe it's not.
Self doubt enters her mind
Evidence says it should be here
But is it there to find.
GUITAR SOLO
VERSE
A ghostly voice is heard to say
Tiberius Claudius Severus
A kindly voice from yesterday
Tiberius Claudius Verus
VERSE
He lived in a villa protected by legions
(gladius, scutum, galea, pilum)
She finds exotic goods, from the regions
(gemmae, ostreum, amictus, vinum)
VERSE
In a cornfield, full of crops
She looks across the meadow
She says goodbye, to her friends
It is time to go
PRE-CHORUS
She waves to the church
She waves to her tree
She waves to Tiberius
Who she has set free
CHORUS
The truth she has delivered
Their story told at last
Peeling back the layers
To reveal the past

World of dreams
04:09
|
|||
I'm sat in a room with familiar faces
But notice some people who don't belong
Then the room begins to spin
I can't escape the dream I'm in
I'm in a car the brakes have gone
I've lost control there's something wrong
Rolling backwards to the lake
I end up drowning till I wake
Calm in my mind when I settle down to sleep
I start out in sun then the shadows start to creep
It seems all so real but it's not all it seems
I'm losing my mind in my world of dreams
I'm inside a house that I seem to know
But colours and furnishings don't seem right
Corridors that rearrange
And now the house is really strange
Chased by monsters I can't see
I'm scared by what they'll do to me
I'm running on a moving floor
Can't quite seem to reach the door
Calm in my mind when I settle down to sleep
I start out in sun then the shadows start to creep
It seems all so real but it's not all it seems
I'm losing my mind in my world of dreams
I'm standing here completely bare
While all my friends and family stare
And now I'm falling to the ground
With screams and wind my only sound
And though I'm sure I'm not asleep
I still can hear the monsters creep
Calm in my mind when I settle down to sleep
I start out in sun then the shadows start to creep
It seems all so real but it's not all it seems
I'm losing my mind in my world of dreams

A lifetime’s sorrow
02:52
|
|||
Every evening when the sun goes down
You’ll find me here at the edge of town
Waiting for victims to come around
Every night’s the same
I’m a creature of the night
A thousand years since my master’s bite
But now I want to face the light
To escape a lifetime of sorrow
Had my fill of women and men
I don’t want to do that dance again
Afraid to end it all but then
What’s the point of living when your dead
At first there was so much to learn
New blood made my body yearn
But now I cannot wait to burn
To escape a lifetime of sorrow
And at the ending of the night
Hiding from the morning light
Should I shut my coffin tight
Or let the sun’s rays burn me
Beware the glamour of my life my friend
Cos immortality will never end
And you’ll find you’ll get to spend
A life time a lifetime of sorrow

Commanded to kill
03:19
|
|||
Waiting in the shadows till the time is right, I'm commanded
Kill!
Looking for a victim, women of the night I am ordered
Kill!
Feeling so much weakness but I must be strong, it's instructed
Kill!
Working for the Lord so it can't be wrong, it's the word
Kill!
The voices in my head saying Kill, Kill, Kill
The voices in my head it's the master's will
Gonna kill, kill, kill Commanded to Kill
Shouting out the orders to the firing squad, I'm commanded
Kill!
Killing men and women in the name of God, I am ordered
Kill!
Eradicate the people of a certain kind, it's instructed
Kill!
Purify the nation then the world is mine, it's the word
Kill!
The voices in my head saying Kill, Kill, Kill
The voices in my head it's the master's will
Gonna kill, kill, kill Commanded to Kill
Commanded to kill
Commanded to kill...
I command you!
I command you!
Looking down the barrel of a sniper's gun, I'm commanded
Kill!
Shooting at the children as I watch them run, I am ordered
Kill!
They deserve to die as I have no choice, it's instructed
Kill!
Following the orders of my inner voice, it's the word
Kill!
The voices in my head saying Kill, Kill, Kill
The voices in my head it's the master's will
Gonna kill, kill, kill Commanded to Kill
Kill!

You are gone
05:06
|
|||
Through the mist in the evening
I see you in the shadows dancing
Clear to see but not quite in view
I looked again but you are gone
Later on at a street café
I see your face across the street
I call your name but get no reply
I look again but you are gone
Still hear your laugh ringing in my head
Not really sure if you’re alive or dead
And even though I know you’ve gone away
Still feel your presence everyday
I’ve tried so hard to forget your smile
But still it haunts me all the while
And though you all think I’m crazy
Can’t lose the feeling that you’re watching me
And when I wake in the morning
I turn to see if you are there
I think I smell a trace of your perfume
I look again but you are gone
And later walking in the street
I see reflections in shop windows
I turn and run to where I thought you were
I look again but you are gone
Still hear your laugh ringing in my head
Not really sure if you’re alive or dead
And even though I know you’ve gone away
Still feel your presence everyday
I’ve tried so hard to forget your smile
But still it haunts me all the while
And though you all think I’m crazy
Can’t lose the feeling that you’re watching me
And though you all think I’m crazy
Can’t lose the feeling that you’re watching me
