1. Hole in the Sky
2. Overture in B minor/Refugee
3. Altar of the Gods
4. One Step Away
5. Baptism of Fire
1. Hole in the Sky
Listen now, heed the warning
Can't you hear the planet's cries
With the storm comes the fury
Mankind looks towards the sky
Burn the wheat (*)
Feed the fire
On the wind
Rising higher
There's a hole in the sky
Are we blind
Hole in the sky
Can't you see
Come the sun, come the wind
Ultraviolet radiation
Bring the flood from the sea
Breaking down communication
[Repeat *]
Listen now, heed the warning
Bring the land to devastation
Come the thunder, come the rain
See the end of all creation
[Repeat *]
2. Overture in B minor/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
3. Altar of the Gods
Come from the woods
Out of the hills
Come from the cities
Down from the moors
Make your way down the golden path
To stand free for the temple
Power is the name
To stay on top your reign
Money rules the game
The winner takes the gain
Come smash the old
Come cut the land
Come carve the stone
Come forge the steel
From out of desolation rise
The symbols of your power
Your towers of steel stand proud
Cathedrals of a new age
Let all with greed come worship here
At the altar of the Gods
Power is the name
To stay on top your reign
Money rules the game
The winner takes the gain
Wall street crash
Financial sting
Live for the dollar
Profit the share
The shame of generations past
Reflected in the city
Power is the name
To stay on top your reign
Money rules the game
The winner takes the gain
4. One Step Away
Just another kid in the firing line
Up against the wall running out of time
Makes no difference what you do
That poisons taking hold of you
No warning, there's danger (*)
This pain is no stranger
You're falling
I hear you calling
Desperation is just one step away
Just another girl with the crying eyes
Up against the odds running out of lies
Makes no difference where she goes
That poison drags her down below
[Repeat *]
Just another day like the one before
Living on the streets running from the law
Makes no difference what you said
That poison's got you in it's web
[Repeat *]
5. Baptism of Fire
Can you hear the thunder rolling
Somewhere in the night
Twenty thousand voices screaming
Blinded by the light
Makes no difference who you are
Or where you're going to
The sound of fury splits the night
Above the chosen few
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Take the eagle from the sky
Ride into the sun
Make a stand the time has come
The tournament's begun
Throw the dice, spin the wheel
Turn the card of fate
The day is coming soon my friend
You don't have to wait
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
(Baptism of fire)
Can you hear the thunder rolling
Somewhere in the night
Twenty thousand voices screaming
Blinded by the light
Makes no difference who you are
Or where you're going to
The sound of fury splits the night
Above the chosen few
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Welcome to the nightmare
Let the show begin
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
Baptism of fire
