SATELLITE 15... THE FINAL FRONTIER (Smith/Harris) 08:40

If I could survive To live one more time I wouldn’t be changing A thing at all

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

I try to call the Earth’s command Desperation in my voice I’m drifting way off course now With very little choice

Done more in my life Than some do in ten I’d go back and do it All over again

The loneliness is hard to bear I try to calm my fear Just hoping any second now Some contact filters through

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

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 didn’t lie to you then I wouldn’t exist

Desperate calls... Signal back from Satellite As my life flashes right in front of me Try again...must get through Hear me now... For I’ve very little time Not much time...hear my call Please get through...I am here 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 goes I think of my life Reliving my past There’s nothing but wait ’til my time comes I’ve had a good life I’d do it again Maybe I’ll come back Some time afresh 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 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... The Final Frontier

EL DORADO (Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 06:49 Got to tell you a story on a cold winter’s night You’ll be sailing 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

Greed lust and envy pride it’s the same old same old ride The smoke and mirrors visions that you see are just like me I’m a clever 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 my ship is oversold You’ve got once last chance to try So gone is the glory and gone is the gold Well if you knew the story how 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 now my tale 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 on 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 my ship is oversold You’ve got once last chance to try

MOTHER OF MERCY (Smith/Harris) 05:20 Sitting waiting in the falling rain Getting ready to begin again Wounded lying crying Bodies moving 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 in to our desires Within the truth that 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

COMING HOME (Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 05:52

Some say you are a lost cause Some say you’re a Saint Just being here’s an act of suffering and restraint

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

Walk down the long dark road To ruin panic not I’ll die a lonely death of that I’m certain of

Oh the bittersweet reflection As we kiss the earth goodbye As the waves and echoes of the Towns become the ghosts of time

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 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

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 the vapour trails alight 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 Stretch the fingers of my hand Cover countries with my span Just a lonely satellite A speck of dust in cosmic sand Over borders that divide the Earthbound tribes Flown the dark Atlantic Over mariners stormy graves 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 the vapour trails alight 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 the vapour trails alight Where I’ve been tonight You know I will not stay

THE ALCHEMIST (Gers/Harris/Dickinson) 04:29 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 And 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 for my frozen queen will come to pass Know me the Magus I am Doctor 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 of 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 look 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 for my frozen queen will come to pass Know me the Magus I am Doctor 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 of 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

ISLE OF AVALON (Smith/Harris) 09:06 I 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 call 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 the 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 on 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

Nineteen maidens guardians Of the otherworld Mortal conflict born of Celtic Legend That apart from seven none 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

Mother Earth I can hear you Sacrifice now united

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

Rising levels of the tidal lakes protect them Keepers of the Goddess in The underworld Holding powers of the mystics Deep inside them

The water in rivers and ryhnes 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

STARBLIND (Smith/Harris/Dickinson) 07:48 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 swim into the darkened void beyond We will dance among the world That orbit stars that aren’t our sun All the oxygen that trapped us in A carbon spider’s web Solar winds are whispering you may hear the sirens of the dead Let the elders to their parley Meant to satisfy our lust Leaving Damacles still hanging over all their promised trust Walk away from freedoms offered by the jailors 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 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 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

Whatever God you know He knows you better than you Believe In your once and future grave You’ll fall endlessly deceived

A face of contentment Around in the air We’re off now to seek all our fortunes To the land of our dreams

Walk away from comfort offered By your citizens of death

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

Riding the waves and 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 there was to come No there’s no one going back No there’s not a second chance As we strap onto the side We pray to God that we won’t die

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 Look into our face reflected in the moonglow 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 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

THE TALISMAN (Gers/Harris) 09:03 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 our 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 thee 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 be low mist that hangs on the sea

As we ride the rough seas As we soak from the ocean waves I just hope for all our lives And pray that I survive Four ships are lost in the stormy conditions The spirits of the sunken crews Their phantoms follow us Spirits sails they drive us on Through the all consuming waves Cold mortality no weapon Against these ever raging seas Four leagues and ten and we hit storms again We just can’t get away from the eye of the storm The birds outsoar the raging storm But we cannot escape it Abandoned earth that we now crave Is many leagues from safe

We run from evil tongues rash judgements selfish men Never to be seen on these shores again

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

As we sail into oceansize And lose sight of land

Limbs fatigued trembling with cold Blinded from the sea spray salt

Clasping anything we can hold Heaven’s rain upon us falls Twenty days without a meal And ten without fresh water still Those that didn’t die in storms The scurvy rest did slaughter Westward the tide Westward we sail on Westward the tide Sail by the talisman We approach the other side Of the ocean with the tide In our favour just for once Welcome greeting our new land The elation in our hearts The excitement in our veins As we sail towards the coastline Of our golden promised land Weary limbs fatigued away I have no life left in me No more strength and nothing Left to give Must find the will to live Never thought that we could make it Truly sight of shores divine The sickness I am dying from Never wanted it to end this way Westward the tide Westward we sail on Westward the tide DSail by the talisman

THE MAN WHO WOULD BE KING (Murray/Harris) 08:28 As he travels on the beast of burden Moving up along the mountainside As he gazes looking down the Valley No regrets but his pride As he journeys across mountain passes Insignificance sweeps over him

His reflection of the beauty Round 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 can be saved He’s searching for the answer now It’s something that he’s managed to avoid up ’til now Real conviction that he craves He needs to find the answer sooner than later Pushed himself to the limits He had to strive for all the harder things in life But what the cost of giving now His life his time are the only things That he has Life is not a rehearsal All he has is the one chance to get it right Leaving really is the only way to know Maybe one day they’ll forgive him what he’s done But now the pain of lying too Early in the grave Destiny no good to hide away Penance now will be his only way Understand no good to run away Penance now will be his saving Grace He tries to make his peace with God All is forgivable but it’s left a little late Trying something that he’s not Is it possible to change such a lot He’s taken someone’s life away There’s not a day goes by He regrets what he’s done He should have found another way

But the good book says an eye for an eye In reflecting on decisions that were made On the judgements that will haunt him ’til 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 Penance now will be his only way Understand no good to run away Penance now will be his saving Grace Far far away the man who would be king So far away the man who would be king Far far away the man who would be king

WHEN THE WILD WIND BLOWS (Harris) 10:59 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 Where the darkened clouds roll He can feel tension in the Atmosphere He would look in the mirror See an old man now Does it matter they survive somehow They said there’s nothing can be done about the situation They said there’s nothing we 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 And 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 everyone 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 not a fuss Getting ready when the moment comes He has enough supplies to last them for a year or two Good to have because you never know They tell us 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 Of a lifetime spent together Long ago will be gone They’ve been preparing for some weeks now For 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 screens 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 unite all as one Got to try and help each other Got the will to overcome I can’t believe all the lying All the screens 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 Their tins of poison laying nearby their clothes The day they both mistook an earthquake for the fall out Just another when the wild wind blows….
