Ready to go again 02:32

Trying to sleep while the tour bus is moving Every night in a different town We can't complain cos we love what we're doing But lack of sleep is getting down We're so tired being back on the road again Day after day it's always the same again Play some rock we're beginning to flow again We see the crowd and we're ready to go again Now 1234 It's great fun while we're out there touring But it's hard to be friends all of the time We can't complain cos we love what we're doing Playing our songs and earning a dime Tempers frayed being back on the road again Day after day it's always the same again Play some rock we're beginning to flow again We see the crowd and we're ready to go again Now Ready to go again Ready to go again Ready to go again Ready to go again Tonight is the final night of the tour Our forty third towns in our fifteenth state Though it feels like we can't do any more We'll back next year, we just can't wait We're so tired being back on the road again Day after day it's always the same again Play some rock we're beginning to flow again We see the crowd and we're ready to go again Now

Ancient runes 02:48

Looking for something shiny and new Looking for anything offers a clue Follow the signs til you're dead on your feet Open your min to the people you meet on the road We're making our way out on our own If you've nothing to say just leave us alone We're sowing the seeds til something has grown With nothing to guide us apart from the tablets of Stones full of writing carved ancient runes Maybe the lyrics of forgotten tunes Swaying in torchlight to songs of the past Played to a beat that is pounding and faster each time We're making our way out on our own If you've nothing to say just leave us alone We're sowing the seeds til something has grown With nothing to guide us apart from the tablets of stone We're making our way out on our own If you've nothing to say just leave us alone We're sowing the seeds til something has grown With nothing to guide us apart from the tablets of We're making our way out on our own If you've nothing to say just leave us alone We're sowing the seeds til something has grown With nothing to guide us apart from the tablets of stone

Revenge 02:41
lyrics

He took her away, into the night Accused of a crime, she didn’t commit Jailed without trial, denied every right Beaten and whipped, to make her admit Life for a life, I’ll do what I can Hunting him down, finding the law man Avenging my friend, I cannot fail To finish my quest, justice will prevail Bound at her hands, bound at her feet Tied to a horse, taken outside Stripped to her waist, dragged through the street Her dignity lost, gone for a ride Life for a life, I’ll do what I can Hunting him down, finding the law man Avenging my friend, I cannot fail To finish my quest, justice will prevail Burned at the stake Consumed by the fire I’ll hunt him down I will not tire Life for a life, I’ll do what I can Hunting him down, finding the law man Avenging my friend, I cannot fail To finish my quest, justice will prevail

Overture to Ophelia 04:18
lyrics

At battles end with all the heroes gone The swords and shields all seem to lose their sheen No soldiers here, these all have gone Just boys whose bodies fill the scene Now time has passed and battles memory fades The queen brings peace and hope across the land The castle towers grow taller still So she can see all she commands But everywhere the sun reveals the day We know that night will come to banish light An evil lurks and waits to strike Under the cover of the night Ophelia your brother’s dead Ophelia we seek revenge Ophelia your armies wait To fight and seal the bitch queen’s fate Ophelia, Ophelia, Ophelia Ophelia Ophelia our cause is strong We need to see the bitch queen gone Ophelia in gold and green Ophelia our rightful queen Lead us into battle now our queen Ophelia, Ophelia Now time has passed and battles memory fades The queen brings peace and hope across the land Hiding away in the forest These soldiers are all that remains Of what was once the King’s army But now with their loyalties strained Two queens but who do we fight for We won’t be defeated again We see the storm clouds gathering overhead And hear the trumpets fanfare ring Our choice to fight Queen of the night Or for the sister of the King Ophelia

Sitting all alone in the castle keep He ponders on violent things Murdering his father while the guard's asleep The quickest way to be king Gotta seize the day

New world 03:30
lyrics

Loading the supplies, food and drink and guns Saying our goodbyes to those left at home Settlers and their families on the upper decks Soldiers and the animals down below All the cargo is made fast, Ready to set sail at last Ropes are cast, anchors raised and sails unfurled Winds that make the ships go quick Storms that make landlubbers sick On our voyage to discover a new world Seven weeks without a rest Relationships put to the test Till lookouts in the crows nest Shout land ahoy In our little boats we head off to the shore Setting up our camp, get the fires alight Meeting strange people with foreign tongues Hoping they don't slay us in the night Chopping trees to build a town Claiming land for the crown Killing local wildlife for us to eat Laws are made and scribed by hand Claiming all the native land Trading with the people that we meet Though we started out with the best intent As the years go by, the vision starts to fade Chopped down all the trees and eaten all the birds Reneged on our promises freely made Local men as slaves soon leads to revolt But better weapons keep the natives down Life in the new world isn't what we planned There's not enough food left to feed the town So now the new world that we find Is like the one we left behind Injustice and corruption everywhere Our failure cannot be denied We send explorers far and wide In hope that they will find a new world there All the cargo is made fast, Ready to set sail at last Fresh ideals and new plans are unfurled Will we heed the lessons learned From this land we have now spurned On our voyage to locate a new new world

You've gone 03:17

We should have noticed that you were there but we were blind Your gifts all dismissed as hocus pocus our focus on humankind You've gone and left not a trace of the magic here No man was able to see past their own superstitious fear The magic's gone In our haste to succeed we forgot that we needed your magic spell Freed from your lore led to conflict and war and our world was hell You've gone and all that we're left with is death and pain No man understood that the magic kept hate restrained The magic's gone The magic's gone x6 Far from the fight some remember the light that the world still needs We'll continue our quest and we'll take all your tests till rebirth succeeds You've gone but many are waiting for your return No man is perfect but we have belief that all can learn The magic's gone But will return...

Saturday night 04:25
lyrics

He steps out the door and into the Saturday night Dressed to the nines he hops on the bus into town A couple of beers and the world is feeling just right Problems forgotten and nothing is getting him down A couple more drinks and the evening is starting to flow He eyes up the girls but the chances of pulling are small He meets with some friends who know a good place they can go A handful of pills and soon he is lost to it all The music is loud and the lights are shining so bright His ears full of laughter from his friends all around His mind is a whirl as he’s tripping on through the night Blown away by all the colours and sound The music is loud and the lights are shining so bright His ears full of laughter from his friends all around His mind is a whirl as he’s tripping on through the night Blown away by all the colours and sound At some point in the evening the paranoia sets in He’s frightened of shadows and eyes that stare in the dark The cocktail of drugs flowing round in his veins Has turned into madness as random synapses spark The next thing he knows is he’s stood in the taxi rank queue Eyes to the floor case he ends up starting a fight He gets to the front and remembers what he’s supposed to do And he stares out the window as his cab heads off through the night The music has gone but the lights still shine so bright He laughs as he thinks of the colours and sound His mind is a whirl as he’s travelling on through the night He gets out the taxi and promptly is sick on the ground He finds his way home and fumbles the key in the door Climbs the stairs and makes it up to his bed He wakes in the morning and notices his clothes on the floor With a chorus of anvils banging away in his head But he knows that next week he’ll be back out on Saturday night

For a while 04:01
lyrics

We sit here in silence Though our thoughts are in tune There’s nothing to say so I hold you Cos you’ll be gone all too soon All too soon There’s times I remember When we were happy and so It’s hard for me to accept That you have got to go You’ve got to go Want to be happy but know that We’re only together for a while x 3 For a while Living without you will be hard to take Hearing your voice when asleep and awake It’s hard to be cheerful when you want to cry But nothings so hard as watching you die watching you die. It’s hard to be cheerful When your mind’s full of fear Can’t pretend that I don’t know That you’ll be gone next year Be gone next year I know that I’m selfish And I want you to stay But I know that it’s not in my power To stop you going away Going away Want to be happy but know that We’re only together for a while x3 For a while Want to be happy but know that We’re only together for a while For a while x4

Stop the clock x8 You must have seen the warning The danger isn’t new If you want to see the dawning Here's what you have to do To stop the clock x8 See the waters rising See the skies turn grey Many lives depend on you If you're gonna save the day Your forehead's wet your hands are shaking Is this a big mistake you're making I'm sure you want to be the hero Don't let those numbers fall to zero Stop the clock x8 Hear the ticking whisper The ghost in the machine Better decide quickly Is it red or is it green To stop the Clock x18

Shout 02:46

So glad that you could join us for our latest show But we’re getting near the time when we have got to go We’re cranking up the volume which should be no shock If we’ve got to say goodbye then we’ll make it rock Hear us shout ROCK So there can be no doubt Hear us shout ROCK That’s what we’re all about You’ve listened to our songs and some might say What’s their style of music anyway From sweet folksy ballads to pretty pop You’ve got to be thinking when’s it gonna stop Hear us shout ROCK So there can be no doubt Hear us shout ROCK That’s what we’re all about Hear us shout ROCK So there can be no doubt Hear us shout ROCK That’s what we’re all about Thumping out a rhythm on the bass and drums Screaming lead guitar ‘til the chorus comes Rock is there inside us trying to get out So clap your hands together as we start to shout Hear us shout ROCK So there can be no doubt Hear us shout ROCK That’s what we’re all about
