Bewitched 05:24
Can't you see, the devil in me Just take a look in my eyes I will play for you, this wicked melody It's magic will reach for your soul It burns inside, no place to hide This strange tune possesses your mind It comes over you, and the nightmare is true You'll enter the realm of the dark You are bewitched... Bewitched be delight, you'll reach the night Dancing and singing to my fiddle So take my hand, and understand That no-one will see you again You are bewitched... I am the master of the enchanted tune I'll play for your joy, for your soul, for you doom My fingers they dance upon the strings like fire Weaving a spell of my burning desire Sing with me, meet your destiny Set yourself free to the magic So come with me, my kingdom to see Believe me you're captured my friend You are bewitched...

As daylight returns The fires of hope still burn Crawl through darkened light Sickened by the mournful sight Tears fall from eyes Not sure what has been done Sorrow creeps throughout my soul All is lost, none have won The battle smoke remains Begin to feel the pain Alone now stagger on Unsure how it begun Through time war previals Thoughts fears cast aside Face the consequence alone With honour - valour - pride As fire fills the sky We once believed in life Now time to die ...For Victory Now in deaths glory Mans final destiny The final price to pay ...For Victory "They shall not grow old As we that are left grow old Age shall not weary them Nor the years condem. At the going down of the sun And in the morning We will remember them." "We will remember them"

Stones 04:00
Long ago ran the sun on a folk who had a dream And the heart and the will and the power: They moved earth; they carved stone; molded hill and channeled stream That we might stand on the wide plains of Wiltshire Now men asked who they were, how they built and wonder why That they wrought standing stones of such size What was done beneath our shade? What was prayed beneath our skies As we stood on the wide plains of Wiltshire Oh what secrets we could tell if you'd listen and be still Rid the stink and the noise from our skirts But you haven't got the clue and perhaps you never will Mute we stand on the cold plains of Wiltshire Still we loom in the mists as the ages roll away And we say of our folk, "they are here!" That they built us and they died and you'll not be knowing why Save we stand on the bare plains of Wiltshire

Let me tell the story, I can tell it all; About the mountain boy who ran illegal alcohol. His daddy made the whiskey, the son he drove the load; And when his engine roared they called the highway "Thunder Road". Sometimes into Ashville, sometimes Memphis town. The Revenuers chased him but they couldn't run him down. Each time they thought they had him his engine would explode. He'd go by like they were standing still on "Thunder Road". And there was thunder, thunder over "Thunder Road", Thunder was his engine and white lightening was his load. And there was moonshine, moonshine to quench the devil's thirst. The law they swore they'd get him but the devil got him first. It was on the first of April, Nineteen-Fifty-Four The federal man sent word he'd better make his run no more. He said "200 agents were covering the state; Which ever road he tried to take they'd get him sure as fate." 'Son' his daddy told him, 'make this run your last. The tank is filled with 100 proof; you're all tuned-up and gassed. Now don't take any chances, if you can't get through. I'd rather have you back again than all that Mountain Dew.' And there was thunder, thunder over "Thunder Road", Thunder was his engine and white lightening was his load. And there was moonshine, moonshine to quench the devil's thirst. The law they swore they'ed get him but the devil got him first. Roaring out of Harlan; revving up his mill. He shot the Gap at Cumberland and streamed by Maynardville. With G men on his tail light; road block up ahead, The mountain boy took roads that even angels fear to tread. Blazing right through Knoxville, out on Kingston Pike, Then right outside of Bearden, they made the fatal strike. He left the road at 90; that's all there is to say, The devil got the moonshine and the mountain boy that day. And there was thunder, thunder over "Thunder Road", Thunder was his engine and white lightening was his load. And there was moonshine, moonshine to quench the devil's thirst. The law they never got him 'cause the devil got him first.

When I was a young boy My father took me into the city To see a marching band He said, "Son, when you grow up Would you be the savior of the broken The beaten and the damned?" He said, "Will you defeat them? Your demons, and all the non-believers The plans that they have made?" "Because one day, I'll leave you a phantom To lead you in the summer To join the black parade" When I was a young boy My father took me into the city To see a marching band He said, "Son, when you grow up Would you be the savior of the broken The beaten and the damned?" Sometimes I get the feelin' She's watchin' over me And other times I feel like I should go And through it all, the rise and fall The bodies in the streets And when you're gone, we want you all to know We'll carry on, we'll carry on And though you're dead and gone, believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on And in my heart, I can't contain it The anthem won't explain it A world that sends you reelin' From decimated dreams Your misery and hate will kill us all So paint it black and take it back Let's shout it loud and clear Defiant to the end, we hear the call To carry on, we'll carry on And though you're dead and gone, believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated Your weary widow marches On and on, we carry through the fears Oh, ah, ha Disappointed faces of your peers Oh, ah, ha Take a look at me, 'cause I could not care at all Do or die, you'll never make me Because the world will never take my heart Go and try, you'll never break me We want it all, we wanna play this part I won't explain or say I'm sorry I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars Give a cheer for all the broken Listen here, because it's who we are Just a man, I'm not a hero Just a boy, who had to sing this song Just a man, I'm not a hero I don't care We'll carry on, we'll carry on And though you're dead and gone, believe me Your memory will carry on You'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated Your weary widow marches, oh Do or die, you'll never make me Because the world will never take my heart Go and try, you'll never break me We want it all, we wanna play this part (we'll carry on) Do or die, you'll never make me (we'll carry on) Because the world will never take my heart (we'll carry on) Go and try, you'll never break me (we'll carry on) We want it all, we wanna play this part (we'll carry on!)

Things were spinnin' 'round me And all my thoughts were cloudy And I had begun to doubt all the things that were me Been in so many places, you know I've run so many races I looked into the empty faces of the people of the night Somethin' is just not right 'Cause I know that I've gotta get outta here I'm so alone Don't you know that I gotta get outta here 'Cause New York's not my home Though all the streets are crowded There's somethin' strange about it I lived there 'bout a year and I never once felt at home I thought I'd make the big time I learned a lot of lessons awfully quick And now I'm tellin' you that they were not the nice kind It has been so long since I have felt fine That's the reason that I've gotta get outta here I'm so alone Don't you know that I gotta get outta here 'Cause New York's not my home That's the reason that I've gotta get outta here I'm so alone Don't you know that I gotta get outta here 'Cause New York's not my home

Quando sono sola Sogno all'orrizonte E mancan le parole Si lo so che non c'è luce In una stanza quando manca il sole Se non ci sei tu con me, con me Su le finestre Mostra a tutti il mio cuore Che hai acceso Chiundi dentro me La luce che hai incontrato per strada Time to say goodbye Paesi che non ho mai Veduto e vissuto con te Adesso si li vivro con te partirò Su navi per mari Che io lo so No no non esistono piu It's time to say goodbye Quando sei lontana Sogno all'orizzonte E mancan le parole E io si lo so che sei con me, con me Tu mia luna tu sei qui con me Mio sole tu sei qui con me, con me Con me, con me Time to say goodbye Paesi che non ho mai Veduto e vissuto con te Adesso si li vivrò Con te partiro Su navi per mari Che io lo so No no non esistono piu Con te io li rivivrò Con te partirò Su navi per mari Che io lo so No no non esistono piu Con te io li rivivrò Con te partirò Lo con te

Now you all know the bards and their songs When hours have gone by, I'll close my eyes In a world far away we may meet again But now hear my song about the dawn of the night Let's sing the bard's song Tomorrow will take us away far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow will take it away the fear of today It will be gone due to our magic songs There's only one song left in my mind Tales of a brave man who lived far from here Now the bard songs are over and it's time to leave No one should ask you for the name of the one Who tells the story Tomorrow will take us away far from home No one will ever know our names But the bards' songs will remain Tomorrow all will be known and you're not alone So don't be afraid in the dark and cold 'Cause the bards' songs will remain they all will remain In my thoughts and in my dreams They're always in my mind These songs of hobbit, dwarves and men and elves Come close your eyes you can see them too

The Trees 03:41
There is unrest in the forest Trouble with the trees For the maples want more sunlight And the oaks ignore their pleas The trouble with the maples (And they're quite convinced they're right) They say the oaks are just too lofty And they grab up all the light But the oaks can't help their feelings If they like the way they're made And they wonder why the maples Can't be happy in their shade There is trouble in the forest And the creatures all have fled As the maples scream, "Oppression" And the oaks just shake their heads So the maples formed a union And demanded equal rights They say, "The oaks are just too greedy We will make them give us light" Now there's no more oak oppression For they passed a noble law And the trees are all kept equal By hatchet, axe, and saw
