Saxon Album

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 lights (?) 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

Just before dawn in the cold light
We came out of the night
A great expectation from the man who ran the show
Will it rain, will it snow, will it shine, we don't know
Are there clouds up in the sky

We sat in the sun, woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

See the people, feel the power
There was sixty thousand there
Just like thunder the crowds began to roar
Where you there, did ya know, did ya see all the show
There was magic in the air

We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

See the rainbow shining brightly
Shooting rockets to the sky
Making music and it rolled on through the night
You could hear on the air rock n' roll everywhere
We were strangers in the night

We sat in the sun woah-oh-oh
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on
And the bands played on

Big wheels are rolling
On thru' the night
We hit the city in the morning
No time to eat or sleep
Six concerts in a week
Take the show across the nation
Could this be San Antone?
Or am I stood in Rome?
Is this real or am I dreaming?
Standing by the backstage door
Just like the one before
We're here to set the spirit free

Give us the stage (*)
Turn on the lights
Fire up the sound
We'll rock the nations

(Repeat *)

Wait for the curtain call
Excitement in the hall
Stage crew ready at their stations
The houselights start to dim
Another show begins
Now it's time to rocks the nations
Stand in the flashing lights
The music fills the night
This is what we've all been waiting for
We take the last encore
The first of many more
The spotlight takes the final bow

(Repeat * 4 times)

Big wheels are rolling
On thru' the night
Daylight comes without no warning
North, South, East and West
We'll put you to the test
As we rock across your nation

(Repeat *)

A crowded Main street, the scene was set
They check out the view, turn the radio on
Open the case, assemble the gun
Wait at the ready, for the president's run

The world was shocked that fateful day (*)
A young man's life was blown away, away
Dallas, 1 p.m., 1 p.m.

White hot lead, in the back of the head
Screaming confusion, shots rip the air
Cadillac racing, cops on the run
They couldn't believe the president's hit

The shooting's done, assassins run
Is he dead, no one will say
Around the world, the news was flashed
We sat and watched your tragic history
(Repeat *)

The world was shocked
In Dallas, 1 p.m.
We sat and watched
Tragic history

The world was shocked
In Dallas, 1 p.m.

They came to fight for glory in their thousands
Young men with their dreams
They died before the guns for their country
A book of faded pictures broken dreams

Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes

Uncle Sam is waiting with the draft card
He says you've got to fight the Vietcong
The stations full of flags and rule Britannia
The engine pulls you out towards the Somme

Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes

The pipes are calling young men back to Belfast
The general says you march to Stalingrad
You rode into the valley with the hundred
Seven lonely graves on Goose Green

Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
Where are they now
The broken heroes

Can you hear the sound
The sound of distant voices
Floating gently 'cross the glen
Can you see the people
The people gathered round
They're worshipping their king

They came to hear the story
They came to sing the song

There's talk of a rebellion
The highlands are aflame
From the mountains to the sea
A prince has come to Scotland
To claim his rightful throne
The seeds of war are sown

They came to hear the story (*)
They came to sing the song
Let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry
Let me hear, let me hear
Let me hear your battlecry

An army marches northwards
To meet the fearless clansmen
For England and St George
The red coats face the tartan
The battle lines are drawn
The musket and the sword

(Repeat *)

Many men have fallen
The prince has had his day
Culloden was the name
Their battlecry can still be heard
To this very day
Floating gently 'cross the glen

(Repeat *)

White line fever, takes me high
Another city, another lie
Another town, another face
Another woman to take your place

Catch the bullet, ride the storm
Drive me crazy 'till the dawn
Like an eagle flying high
Look for freedom in the sky

She's a rock 'n' roll gipsy (*)
Don't go breaking my heart
She's a rock 'n' roll gipsy
She's gonna tear me apart

Rolling thunder, moving on
Another time, another song
Another room, another night
Another dream, another fight

Keep on moving down the line
Gipsy woman on my mind
Ask no questions, tell no lies
See the answers in my eyes

(Repeat *)

Lady face the morning sun
The sunlight in your hair
Northern Lady, you're the one

Why do you mean so much to me
I need you every night
Northern Lady, you're the one

If you need me, I'll be there
I'll fly right back to you
Northern Lady, you're the one

Will you use your head tonight
And come into my room
Northern Lady, you're the one
You're the one

Lady face the morning sun
The sunlight in your hair
Northern Lady, you're the one

You keep me waiting, you won't answer the phone
I know you're home, but you're not alone
Stop playing games girl
You're playing with my heart

I was a fool to fall for your lies
It took so long for me to open my eyes
I was a stranger
A stranger from the start

How long must I stand out in the cold (*)
Can't you see the writing's on the wall
I been waiting
I can't wait anymore

The more I want you, the less I get
I've been alone since the day that we met
I'm trying hard girl
I'm trying to forget

I walked the streets and I stood at your door
You gave me nothing and I came back for more
You were a stranger
A stranger to my heart

(Repeat *)

I was a fool to fall for your lies
It took so long for me to realise
I was a stranger
A stranger from the start

(Repeat *)

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 gonna send some knights
That gonna vandalize your soul
It does no good to sit there
Stand up and rock and roll

We know what to do in 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 town like this since 1974
I want so see you rock tonight, we gonna lock the doors

(Repeat *)

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 pipes of Scotland
Seen the eartbound snow
I've crossed the Mississippi
I've touched the Alamo

Well I ain't seen a town like this since 1974
I want to see you rock tonight, we gonna lock the doors

(Repeat *)

(Solo)

(Repeat *)

In a giant´s step of mankind
On a distant lunar sea
As you travel cross the universe
Will you take a step
Take a step for me
Will you take a step for me

The 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

Speeding across the universe
And placed a lonely flag
Out there in isolation
At the final
Final frontier
At the final frontier

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 (Repeat 4 times)

You can take away the money
You can take away the gold
You can tell me it's the truth
You know it isn't so

You can say that I'm a vandal
When I ain't done nothing wrong
You can say you've had a good time
When you've really thought it bad

Just let me rock
You can take away the profit
You can give away my share
You can tell me it's a diamond
When it's just a piece of glass

You can tell me I've got nothing
When I hold it in my hand
You can say a scrap of paper
Was a contract that I signed

Just let me rock

You can take away my heroes
You can take away the pride
You can tell me I can trust you
Then you take me for a ride

You can say I'm drinking water
When I'm really drinking wine
You can say I'm really clever
Then you laugh behind my back

Just let me rock
