Be Quick Or Be Dead
Covered in sinners and dripping with gilt
Making your money from slime and from filth
Parading your bellies in ivory towers
Investing our lives in your schemes and your powers
You got to watch them – Be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven – The thief in your head
You've got to watch them – Be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven – The thief in your head...
Be quick! Or be dead!
Be quick! Or be dead!
See... what's ruling all our lives
See... who's pulling the strings...
See... what's ruling all our lives
See... who pulls the strings...
I bet you won't fall on your face
Your belly will hold you in place
The serpent is crawling inside of your ear
He says you must vote for what you want to hear
Don't matter what's wrong as long as you're alright
So pull yourself stupid and rub yourself blind
You got to watch them – Be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven – The thief in your head
You've got to watch them – Be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven – The thief in your head...
Be quick! Or be dead!
Be quick! Or be dead!
You got to watch them – Be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven – The thief in your head
You've got to watch them – Be quick or be dead
Snake eyes in heaven – The thief in your head...
Be quick! Or be dead!
Be quick!

From Here To Eternity
She fell in love with his greasy machine
She leaned over wiped his kickstart clean
She'd never seen the beast before
But she left there wanting more more more
But when she was walking on down the road
She heard a sound that made her heart explode
He whispered to her to get on the back
"I'll take you on a ride from here to eternity"
Hell ain't a bad place, hell is from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place, hell is from here to eternity
She must be having one of her crazy dreams
She'd never sat on a piece so mean
It made her feel like's she's on cloud nine
She even thought she heard the engine sigh
But like all dreams that come to an end
They took a tumble at the devil's bend
The beast and Charlotte they were two of a kind
They'd always take the line... from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place, hell is from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place, hell is from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place, hell is from here to eternity
Hell ain't a bad place, hell is from here to eternity

Can I Play With Madness
Can I play with madness?
Give me the sense to wonder, to wonder if I'm free
Give me a sense of wonder to know I can be me
Give me the strength to hold my head up, spit back in their face
Don't need no key to unlock this door, gonna break down the walls
Break out of this bad place
Can I play with madness? – the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness? – there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness? – the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness? – he said you're blind too blind too see
I screamed aloud to the old man I said don't lie don't say you don't know
I say you'll pay for your mischief in this world or the next
Oh and then he fixed me with a freezing glance and the hell fires raged in his eyes
He said do you want to know the truth son – I'll tell you the truth
Your soul's gonna burn in a lake of fire
Can I play with madness? – the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness? – there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness? – the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness? – he said you're blind too blind too see
Oh listen to me, said the prophet
Can I play with madness? – the prophet stared at his crystal ball
Can I play with madness? – there's no vision there at all
Can I play with madness? – the prophet looked and he laughed at me
Can I play with madness? – he said you're blind too blind too see
Can I play with madness?

Wasting Love
Maybe one day I'll be an honest man
Up till now I'm doing the best I can
Long roads, long days of sunrise to sunset, sunrise to sunset
Dream on brother while you can,
Dream on sister, I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time
Spend your days full of emptiness, spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress, rolling shadows of nights
Dream on brother while you can,
Dream on sister, I hope you find the one
All of our lives, covered up quickly by the tides of time
Sands are flowing and the lines are in your hand
In your eyes I see the hunger and the desperate cry that tears the night
Spend your days full of emptiness, spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress, rolling shadows of nights
Spend your days full of emptiness, spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress, rolling shadows of nights
Spend your days full of emptiness, spend your years full of loneliness
Wasting love in a desperate caress, rolling shadows of nights

Tailgunner
Trace your way back 50 years
To the glow of Dresden – blood and tears
In the black above by the cruel searchlight
Men will die men will fight – yeah!
Who shot who and who fired first?
Dripping death to whet the bloodthirst
No radar lock on – skin and bone
The bomber boys are going home
Climb into the sky never wonder why – Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why – Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why – Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why – Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Nail that Fokker kill that son
Gonna blow your guts out with my gun
The weather forecasts good for War
Cologne and Frankfurt? have some more!
Tail-end Charlie in the boiling sky
The Enola Gay was my last try
Now that this Tailgunner's gone
No more Bombers, just one big bomb
Climb into the sky never wonder why – Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why – Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why – Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner
Climb into the sky never wonder why – Tailgunner, you're a Tailgunner

The Evil That Men Do
Love is a razor and I walked the line on that silver blade
Slept in the dust with his daughter, her eyes red with the slaughter of innocence
But I will pray for her, I will call her name out loud
I would bleed for her, if I could only see her now
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge
Balancing on a ledge, living on a razor's edge
Balancing on a ledge, you know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
Circle of fire my baptism of joy at an end it seems
The seventh lamb slain, the book of life opens before me
And I will pray for you, someday I may return
Don't you cry for me, beyond is where I learn
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge, you know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
Living on a razor's edge, balancing on a ledge
Living on a razor's edge, you know, you know
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil that men do lives on and on...
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do
The evil, the evil, the evil that men do

Afraid To Shoot Strangers
Lying awake at night I wipe the sweat from my brow
But it's not the fear 'cause I'd rather go now
Trying to visualise the horrors that will lay ahead
The desert sand mound a burial ground
When it comes to the time, are we partners in crime?
When it comes to the time, we'll be ready to die
God let us go now and finish what's to be done
Thy Kingdom come, thy shall be done... on Earth
Trying to justify to ourselves the reasons to go
Should we live and let live, forget or forgive?
But how can we let them go on this way?
The reign of terror corruption must end
And we know deep down there's no other way
No trust, no reasoning, no more to say
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid, afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers
Afraid to shoot strangers

Bring Your Daughter ... ... To The Slaughter
Honey it's getting close to midnight and all the myths are still in town
True love and lipstick on your linen, bite the pillow make no sound
If there's some living to be done before your life becomes your tomb
You'd better know that I'm the one so unchain your back door invite me around
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Let her go, yeah!
Honey it's getting close to daybreak, the sun is creeping in the sky
No patent remedies for heartache, just empty words and humble pie
So get down on your knees honey, assume an attitude
You just pray that I'll be waiting 'cause you know I'm coming soon
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
So pick up your foolish pride, no going back
No where, no way, no place to hide
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Bring your daughter, fetch your daughter
Bring your daughter, fetch your daughter
Bring your daughter, fetch your daughter to the slaughter
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
Bring your daughter, bring your daughter to the slaughter
Let her go, let her go, let her go
I'm gonna get you!

Heaven Can Wait
Can't understand what is happening to me
This isn't real this is only a dream
But I never have felt, no I never have felt this way before
I'm looking down on my body below
I lie asleep in the midst of a dream
Is it now could it be the Angel of Death has come for me
I can't believe that really my time has come
I don't feel ready there's so much left undone
And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it get away
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait 'til another day
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait 'til another day
I have a lust for the earth below
And hell itself is my only foe
'Cause I've no fear of dying, I'll go when I'm good and ready
I snatch a glimpse of the light's eternal rays
I see a tunnel I stand amazed
At all of the people standing there in front of me
Into the paths of rightness I'll be led
Is this the place where the living join the dead?
I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait 'til another day
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait 'til another day
Take my hand I'll lead you to the promised land
Take my hand I'll give you immortality
Eternal youth I'll take you to the other side
To see the truth the path for you is decided
My body tingles and I feel so strange
I feel so tired I feel so drained
And I'm wondering if I'll ever be the same again
Is this in limbo or Heaven or Hell?
Maybe I'm going down there as well
I can't accept my soul will drift forever
I feel myself floating back down to Earth
So could this be the hour of my rebirth?
Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming?
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait 'til another day
Heaven can wait, heaven can wait, heaven can wait
Heaven can wait 'til another day

The Clairvoyant
Feel the sweat break on my brow
Is it me or is it shadows that are dancing on the walls?
Is this a dream or is it now?
Is this a vision or normality I see before my eyes?
I wonder why I wonder how
That it seems the power's getting stronger every day
I feel a strength an inner fire
But I'm scared I won't be able to control it anymore
There's a time to live and a time to die when it's time to meet the maker
There's a time to live but isn't it strange that as soon as you're born you're dying
There's a time to live and a time to die when it's time to meet the maker
There's a time to live but isn't it strange that as soon as you're born you're dying
Just by looking in through your eyes
He could see the future penetrating right in through your mind
See the truth and see your lies
But for all his power couldn't foresee his own demise
There's a time to live and a time to die when it's time to meet the maker
There's a time to live but isn't it strange that as soon as you're born you're dying
There's a time to live and a time to die when it's time to meet the maker
There's a time to live but isn't it strange that as soon as you're born you're dying...
...and reborn again?

Fear Of The Dark
I am a man who walks alone
And when I'm walking a dark road
At night or strolling through the park
When the light begins to change
I sometimes feel a little strange
A little anxious when it's dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Have you run your fingers down the wall
And have you felt your neck skin crawl
When you're searching for the light?
Sometimes when you're scared to take a look
At the corner of the room
You've sensed that something's watching you
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Have you ever been alone at night
Thought you heard footsteps behind
And turned around and no-one's there?
And as you quicken up your pace
You find it hard to look again
Because you're sure there's someone there
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
Watching horror films the night before
Debating witches and folklore
The unknown troubles on your mind
Maybe your mind is playing tricks
You sense and suddenly eyes fix
On dancing shadows from behind
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a constant fear that something's always near
Fear of the dark, fear of the dark
I have a phobia that someone's always there
When I'm walking a dark road, I am a man who walks alone...
