1. Power & The Glory

I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to kill
Put me to battle I'll follow the sound of the gun
Give me an order, command me I'll fire at will

I've got no emotions I'm living with thunder and steel
I don't hear your lies all I hear are your battle cries
I'm a soldier of fortune I'm trained and I'm ready to die

To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight

A cold death awaits me tonight if I stumble or fall
My friends lay around me their bodies all tattered and torn
But mine is not to reason why, mine is just to do or die

To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight

Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Can you feel the glory
Can you feel the power
Is it with you tonight

I'm fighting for freedom, I'm safe, I've got God on my side
What price in life can you justify your battle hymn
The General says we'll will win the war, just sacrificed a thousand more

To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, tonight, tonight

To the power and the glory
Raise your glasses high
To the power and the glory
Be with me tonight
Tonight, yaya




2. Redline

Hey baby, why don't ya come and ride with me
Like a bullet I'm the fastest thing you've ever seen
Hey mamma can you hear the monster scream
Feel the power riding in my mean machine

Just me and my machine out on the highway
Just me and my machine I'll take you tonight
To the redline

Like lighting it's the only way I get my fun
Don't stop me I gotta let my motor run
Sensation running up and down my spine
Celebration streaking past the winning line

Just me and my machine out on the highway
Just me and my machine I'll take you tonight
To the redline

Hey baby, why don't ya come and ride with me
Like a bullet I'm the fastest thing you've ever seen
Hey mamma can you hear the monster scream
Feel the power riding in my mean machine

Just me and my machine out on the highway
Just me and my machine I'll take you tonight
To the redline

To the redline
I'll take ya tonight
To the redline
Redline




3. Warrior

They land on your shore
Kick down your door
Invaders from over the sea
They rape and they slaughter
Your wives and your daughter
Pillage the wealth from your land
Where do they come from these warrior hoards
When their death and destruction to you
They come with the thunder
To kill and to plunder
Pillage the wealth from your land

So build you defenses against the invader
The tyrant from over the sea
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered

The village is peaceful
No sign of danger
People at work in the fields
Then they hit you like lightning
Screaming and fighting
Gunning you down in the wheat
Over the border
The raiding marauder
Carry this wealth to the sea
So you bury your dead
Put out the fires
But the death will be back with the tide

So build you defenses against the invader
The tyrant from over the sea
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered

They land on your shore
Kick down your door
Invaders from over the sea
They rape and they slaughter
Your wives and your daughter
Pillage the wealth from your land
Were do they come from these warrior hoards
When their death and destruction to you
They come with the thunder
To steal and to plunder
Spilling your blood on the ground

So build you defenses against the invader
The tyrant from over the sea
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered
Warrior came, warrior saw, warrior conquered




4. Nightmare

(Where were you in the night)
(Where were you in the night)

As the night closes in I lay in my bed
Since you went away it's been driving me mad
I stand in my room I can't the light
I wish you were here I'm lonely at night

I'm caught in a nightmare
Alone in the night
(Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare
(Where were you) Alone in the night
(Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare
(Where were you) Alone in the night

I was caught on the inside I'm afraid of the night
That my nightmare begin where reality ends
I won't sleep tonight my head's spinning 'round
I'm alone in a crowd I wait for the dark
For my nightmare to start I'm lonely at night
Don't leave me this way

I'm caught in a nightmare
Alone in the night
(Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare
(Where were you) I was alone in the night
(Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare
(Where were you) Alone in the night

(Where were you) I was caught in a nightmare
(Where were you) Alone in the night
(Where were you) Here where you found me
(Where were you) Alone in the night

(Don't walk away) Don't leave me this way
(Don't leave me this way) Don't walk away
(Where were you in the night) Alone in the night
(Where were you) Don't leave me, no
(In the night) Don't walk away
(Where were you in the night)




5. This Town Rocks

Does this town know how to rock

This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock

We're gonna Saxonize
You're gonna vandalize your soul
It does no good to sit there
Stand up and rock 'n' roll
We know what your doin' here
We'll start a ballroom blitz
So come on down and rock with us
We'll blow this town to bits

Well I ain't seen a crowd like this
Since nineteen seventy four
I wanna see you rock tonight
We're gonna lock the doors, yaya
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock

I've walked the streets of London
And I've been to Tokyo
I've seen the Coliseum
And I've grasped the Berlin wall
I've heard the bands of Scotland
I've seen the Alpine snow
I've crossed the Mississippi
I've touched the Alamo

Well I ain't seen a crowd like this
Since nineteen seventy four
I wanna see you rock tonight
We're gonna lock the doors, yaya
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town...

This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town knows how to rock
This town...
Does this town know how to rock




6. Watching the Sky

Ever since I was a young boy
I turned towards the sky
I know there's something out there
A message in the stars
When the night is black
And the dark is dark
I stand and watch your lights
I long to be there with you
And join you in your flights

I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you

I wrote off to the government
For I got no reply
They tell us there's no cover up
But I don't believe their lies
Fifty billion planets
There's gotta be some life
Don't tell me I'm the only one
Standing in the night

I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you

I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you

Ever since I was a young boy
I turned towards the sky
I know there's something out there
A message in the stars
When the night is black
And the dark is dark
I stand and watch your lights
I long to be there with you
And join you in your flights

I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you

I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Calling to you

I've been watching
Watching the sky
I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you
I've been watching the sky
Waiting for you




7. Midas Touch

See the man in the bookshop
See his withered hand
He walks very slowly never stands in crowds
Children stand and wonder as he turns and walks away
Closely guards the secret
Of the beauty in his eyes

He's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the beauty in his eyes

He looks so innocent
As he shuffles down the street
But he is the holy sentinel
That guards the gates of Hades
To stop the Lord Of Darkness
Coming straight from hell
The bringer of disaster
The one who tolls the bell

He's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the beauty in his eyes

Until the final conflict
He has to walk the earth
To do his master's bidding
And stop the evil force
He waits for Armageddon
The Nazarene will come
Rising from the ashes
Of the fallen world

He's the man with the Midas touch
He'll make you burn with just one look
He's the man with the Midas touch
He's got the beauty in his eyes




8. The Eagle Has Landed

Take a giant step for mankind
On a distant lunar sea
As you travel across the universe
Will you take a step, take a step for me
Will you take a step for me

Voyage of an eagle
Blasting to the stars
You take the hopes and dreams of men
To find yourself, to find tranquillity
To find tranquillity

Traveled across the universe
And placed the lonely flag
Out there in isolation
At the final, the final frontier
At the final frontier

The world's in celebration
As we wait for your return
You took a giant leap for mankind
On another, on another world
On another world

Take it easy take it slow
Don't go fast don't let go
The eagle has landed
The eagle has landed
The eagle has landed
The eagle has landed
