Ye Jacobites by name, now give an ear, give an ear,
Ye Jacobites by name, give an ear;
Ye Jacobites by name,
Your fautes I will proclaim,
Your docrines I maun blame - you shall hear!
What is Right, and what is Wrang, by the law, by the law?
What is Right, and what is Wrang, by the law,
What is Right, and what is Wrang,
A short sword and a lang,
A weak arm and a strang, for to draw!
What makes heroic strife, famed afar, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife, famed afar?
What makes heroic strife?
To whet th' assassin's knife,
Or hunt a Parent's life, wi' bluidy war!
Then let your schemes alone, in the State, in the State!
Then let your schemes alone, in the State!
Then let your schemes alone,
Adore the rising sun,
And leave a man undone, to his fate.
Black is the colour of my true love's hair,
Her lips are like some roses fair,
She's the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands,
I love the ground, Whereon she stands.
I love my love and well she knows,
I love the ground, whereon she goes,
I wish the day, it soon would come,
When she & I could be as one.
Black is the colour of my true love's hair,
Her lips are like some roses fair,
She's the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands,
I love the ground, Whereon she stands.
I go to the Clyde and I mourn and weep,
For satisfied, I ne'er can be,
I write her a letter, just a few short lines,
And suffer death, a thousand times.
Black is the colour of my true love's hair,
Her lips are like some roses fair,
She's the sweetest smile, And the gentlest hands,
I love the ground, Whereon she stands.
Hear the sound of a machinegun
Hear it echo in the night
Mortars firing rains the scene
Scars the fields
that once were green
It's a stalemate at the frontline
where the soldiers rest in mud
roads and houses
all is gone
there is no glory to be won
know that many men will suffer
know that many men will die
half a million lives at stake
Ask the fields of Passchendaele
And as the night falls the general calls
and the battle carries on and on
How long?
What is the purpose of it all
What's the price of a mile?
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck in the trench with no way out
Thousands of machineguns
Kept on firing through the night
Mortars blazed and wrecked the scene
Guns in the fields that once were green
Still a deadlock at the frontline
Where the soldiers die in mud
roads and houses since long gone
still no glory has been won
know that many men has suffered
know that many men has died
Six miles of ground has been won
Half a million men are gone
And as the men crawled the general called
And the killing carried on and on
How long?
What's the purpose of it all?
What's the price of a mile?
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck in the trench with no way out
Young men are dying
They pay the price
Oh how they suffer
So tell me what's the price of a mile
That's the price of a mile.
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army on the march
Long way from home
Paying the price in young men's lives
Thousands of feet march to the beat
It's an army in despair
Knee-deep in mud
Stuck in the trench with no way out
"The Lonesome Rider"
(feat. Sarah Blackwood)
Rita where have you gone
I've been missing you for far too long
I feel so blue haven't you heard
I am the lonesome rider hear the lonesome rider's call home
Reaper where have you gone
see the lonesome rider carry on
his pain so blue haven't you heard
he is the lonesome rider it's the lonesome rider's call home
Just feel all the love I'm giving you
I'm back from the war I've been missing you
where have you gone my baby blue
I'm here all alone I've bleeding too
Reaper please take him home
he's been wandering for far too long
he feels so blue haven't you heard
he is the lonesome rider it's the lonesome rider's call home
The dark reaper led the cowboy ahead into his final sunset
the dawn soon to come a cold wind will blow
he's on his way home
my love never will be apart
and we'll feel the sadness peeling from our fate
the day has now come where we belong together again
farewell so long
Rita I'm not alone
I can see you waiting in the doorway of our little cabin home
I feel so new haven't you heard
I was the lonesome rider and the lonesome rider is home
"Wish I Had An Angel"
Deep into a dying day
I took a step outside an innocent heart
Prepare to hate me fall when I may
This night will hurt you like never before
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I'm in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
I'm going down so frail 'n cruel
Drunken disguise changes all the rules
Old loves they die hard
Old lies they die harder
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I'm in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
Greatest thrill
Not to kill
But to have the prize of the night
Hypocrite
Wannabe friend
13th disciple who betrayed me for nothing!
Last dance, first kiss
Your touch my bliss
Beauty always comes with dark thoughts
[sighing and laughter]
I wish I had an angel
For one moment of love
I wish I had your angel
Your Virgin Mary undone
I'm in love with my lust
Burning angel wings to dust
I wish I had your angel tonight
[x4]
I wish I had an angel...
"While Your Lips Are Still Red"
Sweet little words made for silence
Not talk
Young heart for love
Not heartache
Dark hair for catching the wind
Not to veil the sight of a cold world
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he`s still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they`re still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
First day of love never comes back
A passionate hour`s never a wasted one
The violin, the poet`s hand,
Every thawing heart plays your theme with care
Kiss while your lips are still red
While he`s still silent
Rest while bosom is still untouched, unveiled
Hold another hand while the hand`s still without a tool
Drown into eyes while they`re still blind
Love while the night still hides the withering dawn
"Over The Hills And Far Away"
(originally by Gary Moore)
They came for him one winter's night.
Arrested, he was bound.
They said there'd been a robbery,
his pistol had been found.
They marched him to the station house,
he waited for the dawn.
And as they led him to the dock,
he knew that he'd been wronged.
"You stand accused of robbery,"
he heard the bailiff say.
He knew without an alibi,
tomorrow's light would mourn his freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
for ten long years he'll count the days.
Over the mountains and the seas,
a prisoner's life for him there'll be.
He knew that it would cost him dear,
but yet he dare not say.
Where he had been that fateful night,
a secret it must stay.
He had to fight back tears of rage.
His heart beat like a drum.
For with the wife of his best friend,
he spent his final night of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms he swears he'll be.
Over the hills and far away.
Over the hills and,
over the hills and,
over the hills and far away.
Each night within his prison cell,
he looks out through the bars.
He reads the letters that she wrote.
One day he'll know the taste of freedom.
Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms he swears she'll be.
Over the hills and far away,
he swears he will return one day.
Far from the mountains and the seas,
back in her arms he swears he'll be.
Over the hills and far away,
she prays he will return one day.
As sure as the rivers reach the seas,
back in his arms is where she'll be.
Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.
Over the hills,
over the hills and far away.
I'm chaos international
The writing on the wall
A Lazarus in parable
A dark and sullen lullaby
Whispered softly as you die
Promising torments are nigh
Danger warning levels hissed out loud
I saw the silver lining hidden in a mushroom cloud
Now I'm reeling from the shock at ground zero
If yesterday you would have stood up proud
Then why tonight have you thrown in with the stoning crowd?
I'll breathe through the foetus of a new day kicking...
The foetus of a new day kicking
It's true that Jesus cannot save
I'm rising from the grave
To put my double cross to shame
A poison rush, a heart attack
A white assassin painted black
You'll fear this reaper coming back
Danger warning levels hissed out loud
I saw the silver lining hidden in a mushroom cloud
Now I'm reeling from the shock at ground zero
If yesterday you would have stood up proud
Then why tonight have you thrown in with the stoning crowd?
I'll breathe through the foetus of a new day kicking...
On a night like this
You laid the serpent's kiss
In this garden of Gethsemane
You played the traitor well...
In a dawn to come
I will blind the sun
To grant you pardon as my enemy
Before damning you to hell...
"The Death Of Love"
Her penultimate sighs
Called softy on the kindling wind
Her saintly eyes filling with tears, lifting with truth
And then a golden flash like the onset of Heaven
Leaving her screams breaking my heart
And in the grip of fire
I knew the death of love
Where will you be when they tense for warfare?
What will you see with your innocence there?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when they tense for warfare?
Where will you be when God is glorifying?
There we will be between the dead and dying
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when God is glorifying?
Prophecies and glory forge a massive disdain
For lying passive in the shadows whilst the enemy reigns
Devoted to the votive, holy standard above
'By command of the king of Heaven'
Came the death of love
Where will you be when they're vilifying?
How will they see when the truth is blinding?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when they're vilifying?
Where will you be when the dark is rising?
How will you keep from it's terrorizing?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when the dark is rising?
Burning was the sunset like a portent of doom
On the saintly iron maiden as she fell from her wound
But visions and ambition
Never listened to submission
And she was on a mission from the highest above
To Lord upon the slaughter
Like a sword through hissing water
She arose where archers sought her
For the death of love
The righteous death of love
Gilles adored her drama
Her suit of pure white armour
Blazed against the English in a torrent of light
And as they rallied onto night
A cancer fled his soul
Dissolving...
Framed amid the thick of fire
Aflame, a Valkyrie
She made him click without desire
And in his eyes she swam a Goddess
And even when they caught her breath
Her words would leave a scar
'For only in the grip of darkness
Will we shine amidst the brightest stars'
How will you breathe when their wheels are turning?
How will you know if the sky is burning?
Where will you be my darling?
How will you breathe when their wheels are turning?
Where will you be when Babel builds my fire?
Will you not flee and label me pariah?
Where will you be my darling?
Where will you be when they light my pyre?
Aligned with Joan in all
That was enthroned and divine
He swore to score the crimes
Jackdaws poured on this dove
Crimes he knew alone
Derived from minds of the blind
The church unfurled for murder perched
Upon the death of love
Framed amid the thick of fire
Aflame, a Valkyrie
She claimed the skies were lit with spires
And in his eyes she swam a Goddess
And even when she fought for breath
Her words would leave a scar
'For only in the grip of darkness
Will we shine amidst the brightest stars'
Du bist wie ein Vulkan,
denn Deine Worte brennen tief in mir!
Alles was Du sagst, macht keinen Sinn!
Was willst Du noch von mir?
Stoß den Dolch noch tiefer in mein Fleisch,
Du genießt es, wenn ich leiden muss!
Du bist nur eine Schlampe und
es macht mir nix aus, dass Du verrecken wirst!
eins, zwei, drei, vier bin endlich weg von Dir,
fünf, sechs, sieben, acht Du hast jetzt keine Macht mehr
über mich
Verpiss Dich!
eins, zwei, drei, vier bin endlich weg von Dir,
fünf, sechs, sieben, acht Du hast jetzt keine Macht mehr
über mich
Verpiss Dich!
Nun stehst Du hier vor mir und
Deine Augen lügen mich nur an!
Du hast mein Herz verbrannt,
nur Asche bleibt,
was habe ich Dir getan?
Ich werde mich befreien,
Du kannst mich nicht zerstören!
Auch wenn Du jetzt noch glaubst,
dass wir zusammen gehören!
eins, zwei, drei, vier bin endlich weg von Dir,
fünf, sechs, siebin, acht Du hast jetzt keine Macht mehr
über mich
Verpiss Dich!
eins, zwei, drei, vier bin endlich weg von Dir,
fünf, sechs, sieben, acht Du hast jetzt keine Macht mehr
über mich!
Nie wieder wirst Du mich verführen!
Nie wieder würd' ich Dich berühren!
Es tut jetzt nicht mehr weh,
wenn ich Dich in meinen Träumen sehe!
Nie wieder wirst Du mich verführen!
Nie wieder werde ich Dich berühren!
Doch ein kleiner Teil von Dir,
bleibt für immer tief in mir!
eins, zwei, drei, vier bin endlich weg von Dir,
fünf, sechs, siebin, acht Du hast jetzt keine Macht mehr
über mich
Verpiss Dich!
eins, zwei, drei, vier bin endlich weg von Dir,
fünf, sechs, sieben, acht Du hast jetzt keine Macht mehr
über mich
Verpiss Dich!
A raven came to me,
Spoke to me in my dream.
A long lost prophecy,
A forgotten legacy.
Echoes of yesterday,
Won't let these dreams fade away.
All the beauty I adored,
At the edge of the world.
Across the universe,
Time is to be reversed.
No shelter can be found,
To this fate, we are bound!
Behold the final hour,
The last times will be dour.
All life falls into gorge
Of the end of the world!
"Burning skies
On the vengeance night.
Devastating scythe,
Of the ancient Light."
I saw the might,
Of the ancient Light!
And the beauty of the perishing world,
Theres no tomorrow.
We have been warned.
"The sky's bird struck fire,
Made a flame flare up.
The north wind burnt the clearing.
The north-east quite consumed it:
It burnt all the trees to ash and reduced them to dust."
Du bist in deiner Welt gefangen
Ohne Licht und Zeit
In stiller Ergebenheit
Erträgst du die Einsamkeit
Du willst nicht mehr weiter
Doch du siehst den Weg zurück nicht mehr
Tausend Ängste in deiner Seele
Und dein Herz unendlich schwer
Niemand wird es je verstehen
Du kannst diesen Weg nicht alleine gehen
Wenn die Einsamkeit dein Herz zerbricht
Und der Schmerz in dir erwacht
Wenn deine dunklen Träume
Dich verführen in jeder Nacht
Dann komm zu mir, Komm zu mir
Breite deine Flügel aus und flieg
Mit mir durch die Nacht
Über den Horizont hinaus...
Schließ deine Augen
Spür das Leben ein letztes Mal
Spür die Kälte auf deiner Haut
Nichts bleibt so wie es war
Eine neue Hoffnung wird
Durch deinen Mut geboren
Die Schuld der Vergangenheit
Bleibt in deiner Erinnerung verloren
Wenn die Einsamkeit dein Herz zerbricht
Und der Schmerz in dir erwacht
Wenn deine dunklen Träume
Dich verführen in jeder Nacht
Dann komm zu mir, Komm zu mir
Breite deine Flügel aus und flieg
Mit mir durch die Nacht
Über den Horizont hinaus...
Schließ deine Augen
Spür das Leben ein letztes Mal
Spür die Kälte auf deiner Haut
Nichts bleibt so wie es war
Schließ deine Augen
Spür das Leben ein letztes Mal
Wenn die Einsamkeit dein Herz zerbricht
Und der Schmerz in dir erwacht
Wenn deine dunklen Träume
Dich verführen in jeder Nacht
Dann komm zu mir, Komm zu mir
Breite deine Flügel aus und flieg
Mit mir durch die Nacht
Über den Horizont hinaus
Love this song!
Einsam irrst du durch die kalte Nacht,
auf der Suche nach Unendlichkeit.
Getrieben von der Gier die in dir wächst und
deine Seele Stück für Stück zerstören will.
Die Vernunft und dein Verstand sie schwinden,
du siehst du Welt nur noch in dunklen Farben.
Für dich hat jetzt und hier die Jagd begonnen,
das Blut des Schicksals klebt an deinen Händen.
Reich mir die Hand, unsere Welt wird brennen.
Der Zweifel und die Angst werden im Feuer untergehn.
Reich mir die Hand, unsere Welt soll brennen,
unser Stolz und unser Blut in alle Ewigkeit vereint.
Spürst du die Kraft, spürst die neue Freiheit?
Geboren aus dunkler Vergangenheit.
Die Erinnerung an dein altes Leben,
verblasst im Schatten einer neuen Zeit.
Die Vernunft und dein Verstand sie schwinden,
du siehst du Welt nur noch in dunklen Farben.
Für dich hat jetzt und hier die Jagd begonnen,
das Blut des Schicksals klebt an deinen Händen.
Reich mir die Hand, unsere Welt wird brennen.
Der Zweifel und die Angst werden im Feuer untergehn.
Reich mir die Hand, unsere Welt soll brennen,
unser Stolz und unser Blut in alle Ewigkeit vereint
