1. Warlord (Intro)
2. Dogs of War
Come to the reaper sing the song, bringing death to everyone
Once the earth was calm and safe, but now the land's a battle place
Firing shells into the air, where they land, no-one cares
Now the blood flows like a stream, widowmaker reigns supreme
Dogs of war, no surrender (*)
Dogs of war, I kill the defender
Dogs of war, Scream into battle
Dogs of war, it's the day of the jackal
Nothing seems to ease the pain, the reaper's shadow still remains
Sniper lets the bullet fly, in the distance someone die
The town becomes an empty shell, come and spend a day in hell
Forgotten what we're fighting for, no-one wins this bloody war
[Repeat *]
Lay the wreath across the flag, fill another body bag
Guard of honour standing proud, put your son into the ground
Did they die for you and me, a sacrifice for liberty
A generation dead and gone, the reaper sings his deadly song
[Repeat *]
3. Forever Free
Take me where the eagles fly
Let me drive along the open road
Break away the chains that bind you
Now you're free to make it your own
Feel the engines burning hot
Pounding out the sound
A free man proud
Forever free, riding with the wind in your hair (*)
Forever free, forever free
Take me where the four winds blow
Let me see the magic in your eyes
Just take the shackles from your soul
Imagination soaring to the skies
Journey to the rainbow's end
Searching for the freedom in your heart
[Repeat *]
Take me to the open plains
Let me drive along the desert road
Break away the chains that blind you
Now you're free to make it on your own
Feel the engines burning hot
Pounding out the sound
A free man proud
[Repeat *]
4. Requiem (We Will Remember)
Somewhere in the night a candle burns for you
The eternal flame the light keeps shining on
Your music is immortal it stood the test of time
You're gone but not forgotten, you walk with us
We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh
This song's a celebration of what you gave to us
The legacy you left still marches on
But still they play your music all around the world
Blasting through the airwaves to the stars
We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh
From London to Chicago
From the mountains to the sea
The legacy you left will never die
We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh
We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh
From London to Chicago
From the mountains to the sea
We will remember
They were born to rock 'n' roll
We will remember
Woah-oh
[Repeat to end]
5. Crusader
(Who dares battle the Saracen)
Crusader, crusader, please take me with you
The battle lies far to the east
Crusader, crusader, don't leave me alone
I want to ride out on your quest
I'm waiting, I'm waiting, to stand by your side
To fight with you over the sea
They're calling, they're calling, I have to be there
The holy land has to be free
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
With all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
We're marching, we're marching, to a land far from home
No one can say who'll return
For Christendom's sake, we'll take our revenge
On the pagans from out of the east
We Christians are coming, with swords held on high
United by faith and the cause
The Saracen heathen will soon taste our steel
Our standards will rise 'cross the land
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
With all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
To battle, to battle, the Saracen hordes
We follow the warrior king
Onward, ride onward, into the fight
We carry the sign of the cross
Warlords of England, Knights of the Realm
Spilling their blood in the sand
Crusader, crusader, the legend is born
The future will honour your deeds
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
With all your might
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
(Come Crusader let battle commence)
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Fight the good fight
Believe what is right
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
Crusader, the Lord of the Realm
6. Lights in the Sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh
Silver ships across the sky
Something I have never seen before
Was it true or fantasy
I don't know the answers anymore
All I know is what I saw
Something shooting fast across the sky
Did we see a rocket ship from another star
Shooting through our galaxy coming from afar
But I see your lights shining in the sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shining in the sky
Leave your signs across the land
Mysteries, the answers that we seek
Coming from another world
See the circles in the golden wheat
One day soon we'll talk to you
Find out if you come to us in peace
Did we see a rocket ship coming from afar
Shooting through our galaxy from another star
But I see your lights shining in the sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shining in the sky
Silver ships across the sky
Something I have never seen before
Was it true or fantasy
I don't know the answers anymore
All I know is what I saw
Something shooting fast across the sky
Did we see a rocket ship coming from afar
Shooting through our galaxy from another star
But I see your lights shining in the sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shining in the sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, I see your lights shining in the sky
Woah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, shining in the sky
7. Iron Wheels
My father used to work the seam far below the ground
Digging for the coal to melt the steel
But now he lies a twisted man one foot in the grave
Just like the iron wheels that took him down
Just like the iron wheels that took him down
He used to be the fisherman that sailed the mighty sea
Searching for the harvest from the deep
But now the fleets are rusting hulks anchored at the quay
Just like the iron wheels that took him down
Just like the iron wheels that took him down
He used to be the farming man standing tall and proud
Working on the land to sow the seed
But now the buildings stand in shame rotting on the land
Just like the iron wheels that took him down
Just like the iron wheels that took him down
8. Ain't Gonna Take It
9. Nibbs Bavarian Bass Solo / Crash Drive
I just got the news you're back in town
You're looking for a good time
You're still going down
You're a little too crazy
You ain't gonna last
You're candle's lit at both ends
You're burning too fast
You're going down out of control
You're on a crash drive, baby
(Yeah)
You're talking too much
You've run out of time
You're walking on the limit
You're way out of line
It's a little too easy
To get what ya will
Ya running with the wolf, baby
Ya there for the kill
You're going down out of control
You're on a crash drive, baby
(Yeah)
I just got the news you're back in town
You're looking for a good time
You're still hangin' 'round
You're going down out of control
You're on a crash drive, baby
Crash drive, baby
(Yeah)
10. Refugee
Cry for the children
Sons and daughters left behind
They walk alone down the trail of tears
Full of heartache, full of fears
Stand with open arms
Waiting for the fall
But who'll be there to help ya
When your back's against the wall
You'll be sailing home before the storm
Through the night into the dawn
On the wind I hear your voice calling
Sailing home before the storm
Why, cried the people
Give me shelter from the storm
They take the road across the bridge of sighs
No more heartache, the other side
Ya stand with open arms
Ya scream into the night
But who'll be there beside ya
Can you see the end in sight
You'll be sailing home before the storm
Through the night into the dawn
On the wind I hear your voice calling
Sailing home before the storm
Sailing home before the storm
Through the night into the dawn
On the wind I hear your voice calling...
Sailing home before the storm
Through the night into the dawn
On the wind I hear your voice calling
Sailing home before the storm
Sailing home before the storm
Through the night into the dawn
On the wind I hear your voice calling
Sailing home before the storm
