1. Burn (Deep Purple cover)
The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
The city's a blaze, the town's on fire.
The woman's flames are reaching higher.
We were fools, we called her liar.
All I hear is "Burn!"
I didn't believe she was devil's sperm.
She said, "Curse you all, you'll never learn!
When I leave there's no return."
The people laughed till she said, "Burn!"
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin', we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"
You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.
You know we had no time,
we could not even try.
You know we had no time.
The sky is red, I don't understand,
past midnight I still see the land.
People are sayin' the woman is damned,
she makes you burn with a wave of her hand.
Warning came, no one cared.
Earth was shakin, we stood and stared.
When it came no one was spared.
Still I hear "Burn!"
2. Disintegrated Skies
3. Egypt (Mercyful Fate cover)
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Osiris...Anubis...The underworld
is yours
Osiris...Anubis...I put my soul
in your hands
O Thou, God of the Dead
Lead my soul to the judgement hall
O Thou, Jackal Head
Weigh my soul, I await your call
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Ammit, Eater of the Dead
Is devouring my heart
Will I pass on to Aaru
Or will I be condemned?
I\'m burning inside to know
I\'m burning inside to know
I\'m burning inside to know
I must be back on time
But still I want to know
I hope they let me go
I\'m from another time
And I must reunite
My body and my soul
I\'m burning inside to know
I\'m burning inside to know
I\'m burning inside to know
Osiris...Anubis...The underworld is yours
Osiris...Anubis...I put my soul in your hands
O Thou of countless names
Who are one and all things
O Thou of countless names
Without beginning, without end
Ahh...Egypt...Ahh
Egypt come back to me
Egypt come back to me
Egypt, without beginning or end
4. Shadow Child (first version)
I lick the surface of a freedom ride, Under a hammering light.. I scream!
Let's roll the dice of the future, burning in my hand, I've built destruction upon the
velvet skies, Maybe I'm strong, Maybe I'm wrong
Chorus
Lead us, Shadowchild - soiled by your faith in disguise
Shadowside - reflecting the eyes
I'm raising hell, a magic spell, Pain and pleasure together as one, I will recall, I will
recall, When I'm down the stairs.. I split human cries, I can feel when they lie, My sun
being one with the.. universe, Hear my call
Chorus
Creating my crown from the millions of lights, I'm abused beyond recognition, Pre-millenium
futuristic, I predict you all to live under an individual sun, We're all out collecting
our senses and run..
Chorus
Lead us, Shadowchild - soiled by your faith in disguise
Shadowside - reflecting the eyes
Lead us, Shadowchild - the truth's lying far from your life
Shadowside - reflecting the eyes
5. The Aardvark Trail (live)
A stinking aroma
spreads into my sense of smell
a smell of ageing filth
from the body you wear
you will soon become
shattered into fragments
fragments dissolving
fragments to be deframed(repeat)
.......again.........
Instrumental Chorus
You're a prisoner
in your filthy mind
hanging tied upside down
couse you're walking the Aardvark trail
..............for evermore...........
Instrumental Chorus
I give you hell!
I give you hell!
Walking with blinded eyes
feeling the temperature rise
pleased to be a swine
as the devil rips your spine
..........away...........
Instrumental Chorus
I give you hell!
I give you hell!
