01. Satellite 15 . . .  The Final Frontier

I’m stranded in space.
I’m lost without trace.
I haven’t a chance of getting away.
Too close to the sun.
I surely will burn
like Icarus before me or so legend knows.

I think of my life.
Reliving the past.
There’s nothing but wait till my time comes.
I’ve had a good life.
I’d do it again.
Maybe I’ll come back some time, my friends.

For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
but I wish I could talk to my family to tell them
one last goodbye.

The final frontier,
the final frontier.
The final frontier,
the final frontier.

If I could survive
to live one more time
I wouldn’t be changing a thing at all.
Do more in my life
than some do in ten.
I’d go back and do it all over again.

For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
but I wish I could talk to my family and tell them
that one last goodbye.

The final frontier,
the final frontier.
The final frontier,
the final frontier.

There isn’t much time.
Must say my last rites.
Nobody is here to read them to me.
Must say my goodbyes,
if only a line,
a message to tell them in case they might find.

For I have lived my life to the full
I have no regrets
but I wish I could talk to my family to tell them
that one last goodbye.

The final frontier (x12)

02. El Dorado

Gotta tell you a story on a cold winters night
You’ll be sailin’ for glory before you know what is right
So come over here now, I got a vision for you
It’s my personal snake oil, it’s just something I do

I’m the jester with no tears and I’m playing on your fears
I’m a trickster smiling underneath this mask of love and death
The eternal lie I’ve told about the pyramids of gold
I’ve got you hooked at every turn your money’s left to burn

You’ll be wanting a contract, you’ll be waiting a while
I’d like to give you my contact but that isn’t my style
Well you only get one chance and it’s too good to miss
If I gave a lot to ya then I wouldn’t exist

Greed, lust and angry pride it’s the same old, same old ride
The smoke and mirrors visions that you see are just like me
I’m a banker’s face with just a letter out of place
I know someone just like you knows someone just like me

El Dorado come and play, El Dorado step this way
Take a ticket for the ride, El Dorado streets of gold
See those over sold, you’ve got one last chance to try

So gone is the glory and gone is the gold
Well if you need a story I’ve come it has to be told
Well you can say I’m a devil and I wouldn’t say, no
But out here on the dark side, hey, on with the show

So is told, big and bad and twice as bold
This ship of fools is sinking as the cracks begin to grow
There is no easy way for an honest man today
Which is something you should think of as my life boat sails away

El Dorado come and play, El Dorado step this way
Take a ticket for the ride, El Dorado streets of gold
See those over sold, you’ve got one last chance to try
Gotta tell you a story on a cold winters night
You’ll be sailin’ for glory before you know what is right
So come over here now, I got a vision for you

03. Mother Of Mercy

Sitting waiting in the falling rain
Getting ready to begin again
Wounded lying, crying, bodies moving and dying
All around there is the smell of death and fire
Here the planes are coming
Hear the soldiers running
Killing on a scale to comprehend
Why are we here
In this place...here to kill
Please God forgive us
For what we have done
I always thought I was doing right
As of now I'm not feeling so sure
I'm at a place of where
I give no grace
I'm a soldier of war
I sit waiting for my darkest hour to come
I cannot think about the things
That I have done
It shouldn’t take a fool to see that I believe
Accept the consequence, repent for what I’ve done
You tell me what is certain but I’ll tell you what is true
You tell me what is honesty, when all around is death and cruelty
The making of a man is fire, not giving into our desires
Within the truth it lies within the only thing
Mother of Mercy
Angel of death desire
Mother of mercy
Taking my last breath, of fire
Mother of mercy
Angel of pain
Mother of mercy
Taking my last breath
Some say you are a lost cause, some say you're a saint
Just being here's an act of suffering and restraint
Walk down the long dark road to ruin and panic not
I’ll die a lonely death of
That I'm certain of
Rivers flow with blood there's nowhere left to hide
It’s hard to comprehend there's anyone left alive
Sick of all the killing and the reek of death
Will god tell me what religion is to man
I don't hold with bad religion understand what's underneath it
Now I come to think of it, I just don't hold at all you know it
You say you are a holy man, but what is it you do
From where I stand is nothing but a hollow man I see
Mother of Mercy
Angel of death desire
Mother of mercy
Taking my last breath, of fire
Mother of mercy
Angel of pain
Mother of mercy
Taking my last breath
Mother of Mercy
Angel of death desire
Mother of mercy
Taking my last breath, of fire
Mother of mercy
Angel of pain
Mother of mercy
Drawing my last breath
I'm just a lonely soldier fighting in a bloody hopeless war
Don't know what I'm fighting, who it is, or what I'm fighting for
Thought it was for money, make my fortune, now I'm not so sure
Seem to just have lost my way

---------------------------------------

04. Coming Home

When I stand before you shining in the early morning sun
When I feel the engines roar and I think of what we've done
Oh the bittersweet reflection as we kiss the earth goodbye
As the waves and echoes of the towns become the ghosts of time
Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes
No creed and no religion just a hundred winged souls
We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth
A thousand leagues away, our land of birth
To Albion's land
Coming home when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align
Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay
Curving on the edge of daylight til it slips into the void
Waited in the long night, dreaming til the sun is born again
Stretched the fingers of my hand, covered countries with my span
Just a lonely satellite, speck of dust and cosmic sand
Over borders that divide the earthbound tribes
Through the dark Atlantic; over mounting stormy waves
We will ride this thunderbird, silver shadows on the earth
A thousand leagues away, our land of birth
To Albion's land
Coming home when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align
Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay
To Albion's land
Coming home when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align
Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay
Coming home, far away when I see the runway lights
In the misty dawn the night is fading fast
Coming home, far away as their vapor trails align
Where I've been tonight, you know I will not stay

05. The Alchemis

Stranger than the comet as it streaks across the sky
Stranger than the truth I know before my open eyes
I have dealt in mysteries and trickery, of light to entertain
Looked into the abyss, called it by its name
I have plundered time itself, put the world inside it
I'm the mysteries, day and night, divide it
A plague of wonders, on your knees beside me
Know the secrets, you shall not deride us
My dreams of empire from my frozen queen
Will come to pass
Know me, the Magus
I am Dr. Dee
And this is my house
I am the master of the tides
I shame the mirror in my sight
What random music of the spheres
Across the years
Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Chain up the demons set free
Strange alchemy
Gather round the aimless and the feckless and the lame
Hear the master summon up the spirits by their names
I curse you Edward Kelly your betrayal for eternity is damned
Know you speak with demons, you cannot command
Even as I looked into the glass then I was blinded
Burning by the Mortlake shore my house my books inside it
You have taken up my wife and lain beside her
Now the black rain on my house, the timbers burning
My dreams of empire from my frozen queen
Will come to pass
Know me, the Magus
I am Dr. Dee
And this was my house
I was the keeper of the books
I had the knowledge of the scrolls
But now through ignorance and fear
I cast a shadow through the years
Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Chain up the demons set free
Strange alchemy
Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Chain up the demons set free
Strange alchemy
Know this
I will return to this land
Rebuild where the ruins did stand
Restore the knowledge memory
Strange alchemy

06. Isle Of Avalon

Can hear them floating on the wind
Immortal souls their weeping saddens me
Mother earth you know your time is near
Awaken lust the seed is sown and reaped
Through the western isle I hear the dead awaken
Rising slowly to the court of Avalon
The cauldron of the head of Annwyn laced with envy
Dark around its edge with pearl and destiny
All my days I've waited for the sign
The one that brings me closer to isle of Avalon
I can feel the power flowing through my veins
My heart is beating louder, close to Avalon
I can hear you, can you hear me?
I can feel you, can't you feel me?
Fertility Mother Goddess
Celebration, sow the seeds of the born
The fruit of her body laden
Through the corn doll
You will pray for them all
The image of Mother Goddess
Lying dormant, in the eyes of the dead
The sheaf of the corn is broken
End the harvest
Throw the dead of the pyre
I hear her crying the tears of an angel
The voices I hear in my head
Blessed the fruits are the corn of the earth
Mother earth holy blood of the dead
[guitar solo]
Mother earth I can hear you
Sacrifice, now united
Rising levels of the tidal lakes protect them
Keepers of the goddess in the underworld
Holding powers of the mystics, deep inside them
nineteen maidens, guardians of the otherworld
Mortal conflict born of Celtic legend
That apart from seven, non-returned from Avalon
Mother earth I can feel you
My rebirth now completed
Fertility mother goddess
Celebration, sow the seeds of the born
The fruits of her body laden
Through the corn doll
You will pray for them all
The image of mother goddess
Lying dormant, in the eyes of the dead
The sheaf of the corn is broken
End the harvest, throw the dead on the pyre
To have the belief of others
Looking for the Isle to
Show them a sign
Fertility of all mothers
Stood in silence
Waiting now for their turn
The gateway to Avalon
The island where the souls
Of dead are reborn
Brought here to die and be
Transferred into the earth
And then for rebirth
I hear her crying the tears of an Angel
The voices I hear in my head
Blessed the fruits are the corn of the earth
Mother earth holy blood of the dead
The water in rivers and rhymes rises quickly
Are flowing and flooding the land
The sea shall return once again just to hide them
Lost souls on the Isle of the dead

---------------------------------------

07. Starblind

Take my eyes the things I've seen in this world coming to an end
My reflection fades, I'm weary of these earthly bones and skin
You may pass through me and leave no trace, I have no mortal face
Solar winds are whispering, you may hear me call
We can shed our skins and into the darkened void beyond
We will dance among the world that orbit stars (they're on our side)
All the oxygen that trapped us in a carbon spider's web
Solar winds are whispering, you may hear the sirens of the dead
Left the elders to their parley meant to satisfy our lust
Leaving Damocles still hanging over all their promised trust
Walk away from freedoms offered by their jailers in their cage
Step into the light startripping over mortals in their rage
Starblind - with sun
The stars are one
We are the light that brings the end of night
Starblind - with sun
The stars are one
We are, with the Goddess of the sun tonight
The preacher loses face with Christ
Religion's cruel device is gone
Empty flesh and hallowed bones
Make pacts of love but die alone
The crucible of pain will forge
The blanks of sin, begin again
You are free to choose a life to live
Or one that's left to lose
(solo)
Virgins in the teeth of God are meat and drink to feed the damned
You may pass through me and I will feel the life that you live less
Step into my light startripping, we will rage against the night
Walk away from comfort offered by your citizens of death
Starblind - with sun
The stars are one
We are the light that brings the end of night
Starblind - with sun
The stars are one
We're one with the goddess of the sun tonight
Take my eyes for what I've seen
I will give my sight to you
You are free to choose whatever
Life to live or life to lose
Whatever God, you know
He knows you, better than you believe
In your once and future grave
You'll fall endlessly deceived
(solo)
Look into our face reflected in the moon glow in your eyes
Remember you can choose to look but not to see and waste your hours
You believe you have the time but I tell you your time is short
See your past and future all the same and it cannot be bought
Starblind - with sun
The stars are one
We are the light that brings the end of night
Starblind - with sun
The stars are one
We're one with the Goddes ofthe sun tonight
Take my eyes for what I've seen
I will give my sight to you
You are free to choose whatever
Life to live or life to lose
Whatever God, you know
He knows you, better than you believe
In your once and future grave
You'll fall endlessly deceived
The preacher loses face with Christ
Religion's cruel device is gone
Empty flesh and hollow bones
Make pacts of love but die alone
The crucible of pain will forge
The blanks of sin, begin again
You are free to choose a life to live
Or one that's left to lose

08. The Talisman

When I stand and look about the port and contemplate my life
Will I ever see my countrymen again?
As the captain calls us on the deck, I take my things and walk
To the harbourside I glance back one last time

Fleeing a nation, our problems we leave behind
Ships by the tenfold sail out on the tide
We are pleased to be out and embracing the open sea
Free from our troubles and more free from the...

Inheritors unfulfilled reason behind us
We flee from what is not what is will be
We flee the earth and face our harsh reality
Will death below mist that hangs on the sea

We run from evil turns, rash judgements, selfish men
Never to be seen on these shores again
As we sail into oceansize and lose sight of land
Face of contentment around in the air

We're off now to seek our fortunes, to the land
Of our dreams...

Riding the waves of the storm is upon us
The winds lash the sails but the ropes keep them tight
Off in the distance a dark cloud approaching
None could imagine what fear was to come


No, there's no one going back
No, there's not a second chance
As we strap on to the side
We pray to God that we won't die

As we ride the rough seas, as we shook from the ocean waves
I just hope for all our lives and pray that I survive
Fortunes are lost in the stormy conditions
The spirits of the sunken crews, the phantoms full of us?

Spirit sails they drive us on
Through the all consuming waves
Cold mortality no weapon
Against these ever-wretched seas

Four leagues we turn and we hit storms again
We just can't get away from the eye of the storm
The birds outsolar the raging storm but we cannot escape it
with our grave, this many leagues are safe

Holding on for our dear lives
And we're praying once again
Rotten luck or just jonahed
The Talisman is in my hand

Limbs fatigued trembling with cold
Blinded from the sea spray salt
Cast away anything we can hold
Ever dread upon us fall

Twenty days without a meal
And ten without fresh water still
those that didn't die in storms
For scurvy rest is slaughter

Westward the tide!
Westward we sail!
Westward the tide!
Sail by the Talisman!

We'll cross the other side of the ocean with the tide
In our favour just for once, we're completing our new life
The elation in our hearts, the excitement in our face
As we sail towards the coastline of our golden promise land

Weary lims fatigued away
I have no life left in me
No more strength, no nothing left to give
Must find the will to live

Never thought that we could make it
To the silent shores divine
The sickness I am dying from
Never wanted it to end this way

Westward the tide!
Westward we sail!
Westward the tide!
Sail by the Talisman!

Westward the tide!
Westward we sail!
Westward the tide!
Sail by the Talisman!

09. The Man Who Wold Be King

As he travels on the beast of Burden
Moving up along the mountain side
As he gazes looking down the valley
No regrets but his pride
As he journeys across mountain passes
And significant sweeps overhand
His reflection of the beauty around him
Feeling empty inside
He is running from his wildest thoughts
He is running from his everything
He is looking now to find something
Hoping he could be saved
He’s searching for the answer now
Is something that he's managed to avoid up 'till now
Looking for the conviction that he craves
He needs to find the answer sooner or later
Pushed himself to the limits
He had to strife for all the harder things in life
But what the cost to give him now
His life and time is the only things that he has
Life is is not a rehearsal, only has this the one chance to get it right
Living really is only way to know
Maybe one day they’ll forgive him what he’s done
with all the pain of lying too early in the grave
Destiny, no good to hide away
Hear us now, we’ll be his only way
Understand, no good to run away
Hear us now, we’ll be his saving grace
(solo)
Just to make his peace with God
All is forgivable but he’s left a little late
Trying something that he’s not
Is impossible to change such a lot
He's taken someone’s life away
There’s not a day that goes by he regrets what he’s done
He should have found another way
From the good book says an eye for an eye
In reflecting on decisions that were made
On the judgements that will haunt him ’till his grave
No-one has the right to take another life
But in his mind he had no choice so be it
Destiny, no good to hide away
Hear us now, we’ll be his only way
understand , no good to run away
Hear us now, we’ll be his saving grace
Destiny, no good to hide away
Hear us now, we’ll be his only way
understand, no place to run away
Hear us now, we’ll be his saving grace
Far, far away
The man who would be king
Far, far away
The man who would be king

10. Were The Wild Wind Blow

Have you heard what they said on the news today
Have you heard what is coming to us all?
That the world as we know it will be coming to an end
Have you heard, have you heard?
He sees them in the distance when the darkened clouds roll
He could feel tension in the atmosphere
He would look in the mirror, see an old man now
Doesn’t matter they survived somehow
They said there's nothing can be done about the situation
They said there's nothing you can do at all
To sit and wait around for something to occur
Did you know, did you know?
As he stares across the garden looking at the meadows
Wonders if they’ll ever grow again
The desperation of the situation getting graver
Getting ready when the wild wind blows
Have you seen what they said on the news today
Have you heard what they said about us all
Do you know what is happening to just every one of us
Have you heard, have you heard?
There will be a catastrophe the like we’ve never seen
There will be something that will light the sky
That the world as we know it, it will never be the same
Did you know, did you know?
He carries everything into the shelter now, but first
Getting ready when the moments comes
He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two
Good to have because you never know
They tell him nothing that we don’t already know about
They tell us nothing that is real at all
They only fill us with the stuff that they want
Did you know, did you know?
He's nearly finished with the preparations for the day
He's getting tired; that'll do for now
They are preparing for the very worst to come to them
Getting ready when the wild wind blows
He sees the picture on the wall, it's falling down
Upside down
He sees a teardrop from his wife roll down her face,
Saying Grace
Remember times they had, they flash right through his mind
Left behind
All we laughed and spent together long ago
Will be gone
They've been preparing for some weeks now
'Till when the crucial moment comes
To take their refuge in the shelter
Let them prepare for what will come
They make a tea and sit there waiting
They're in the shelter feeling snug
Not long to wait for absolution
Don't make a fuss; just sit and wait
Can't believe all the lying,
All the screams are denying
That the moments of truth have begun
Can't you see it on the T.V.?
Don't believe them in the least bit
Now the days of our ending have begun
Say a prayer when it's all over
Survivors, you're not always one
Got to try and help each other
Got the will to overcome
I can't believe all the lying,
All the screams are denying
That the moments of truth have begun
Can't you see it on the T.V.?
Don't believe them in the least bit
Now the days of our ending have begun
When they found them, had their arms wrapped around each other
The tins of poison laying near by their clothes
The day they both mistake an earthquake for the fallout,
Just another when the wild wind blows...
