St-James

This is the story of a man,
Who conquered life drink in hand
Ship unmanned.
Marked by genius, channelled good, 
By some a bit misunderstood.
They'd been wrong many times before

Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.

Never a stranger to late night snake 
bite fist fights and empty pints,
Unrivaled heights.
He led with songs, they sang along, 
created bonds that held so strong
Some were right and some were wrong

Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.

[Solo]

It's by the sea and at nights end that's when the sin and swill begin
That's when he had that certain light inside his head
For every whisper he would scream for every draught he shared a drink
For every sorrow there is a light from our St. James

On the sea by the cliff he watches, he waits the night to see
The day - his way
Last call will find us all
But there's a light that leads the way, our way.

Some times our saints are sinners,
They blur the lines and lead the way,
Their Way.
Raise hell and a glass in reverence,
The fearless lives of our great saints - our saints.

Acid Rain

Our day has come
It's drawn in the sky
So don't shed a tear now
Be thankful for the time

Life wouldn't be so precious dear
If there never was an end

Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away

We stand on the edge now
We've come so far
(And) through all the dust it becomes clear
You have always be my heart

There's no death, no end of time
When I'm facing it with you

Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
Not even stars last forever
Cleanse us acid rain

Stand near to me
Don't look, be brave
Over the blackened moon
I'll carry you away
Through the planets we fly

Children still play in the garden
Dance as the sun slips away
Not even stars last forever
Cleanse us acid rain

Send us home (4x)

Planets

Godless - meteoric war,
Anger – our existence nevermore.
You awoke the giants who were dormant in the sky,
Comets raining death from a fiery eye.

Mother of all, your time is coming,
One with eternity.
When planets collide,
Planets collide.

Damage – galaxy destruct,
Endless - celestial orbit corrupt.
You will be forgotten like the others lost in time,
Dead civilization left behind.

Mother of all, your time is coming,
One with eternity.
When planets collide,
Planets collide.

Take heed, the violent march is closing in,
You can't defeat them on your own.
Weapons are loaded for the final stand,
And they're all aimed at you from heaven!

Planets collide.
Planets collide.
Planets collide.
Planets collide.

You will be forgotten like the others lost in time,
Dead civilization left behind.

Mother of all, your time is coming,
One with eternity.
When planets collide,
Planets collide.

Coming Home 

I've been away,
Searching for a reason,
Another purpose to find.
I've sailed the seas,
Fought my many demons,
I've looked to gods in the skies.

I've stood in hell,
Where many had to suffer,
I stared the devil in the eyes.
Walked many roads to witness ancient idols,
And found the great gates of fire.

Had many storms question my conviction,
Gave armies reason to rise.
The hangman's searching for bones he can borrow,
While I escaped in the night,
Fight or flight.

Live again,
All roads end,
I'll be coming home.
Tend your light,
'Cause on this night,
I'll be coming home.

Escaped the hail of calculated mortars,
Then drank the blood of a king.
The desert rain has washed away direction,
Had angels looking after me,
So it seems.

Live again,
All roads end,
I'll be coming home.
Tend your light,
'Cause on this night,
I'll be coming home.

My story ends not far from where it started,
My weary limbs have grown old.
I've seen the world through the eyes of a nomad,
Home is where the heart is I've been told,
So I go.

Live again,
All roads end,
I'll be coming home.
Tend your light,
Cause on this night,
I'll be coming home.

I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home
I'm coming home

Heretic

As they search for blood,
All eyes descend on one.
Honest man in chains,
But that don't matter anyway.
My judgement day.

My flesh will feed the demon,
No trial, no case for reason.
I've been chosen to pay with my life.
Mad men define what mad is,
Turning witches and saints to ashes.
Rising masses marching to find,
Heretic blood.

Impose your will on me,
'Til fire sets me free.
The flames of hell burn bright,
My fate decided by their lies.
Final demise.

My flesh will feed the demon,
No trial, no case for reason.
I've been chosen to pay with my life.
Mad men define what mad is,
Turning witches and saints to ashes.
Rising masses marching to find,
Heretic blood.

Please don't leave me,
Please don't leave me like this.
I've walked a fragile line and I've fallen down,
Please don't leave me.

My flesh will feed the demon,
No trial, no case for reason.
I've been chosen to pay with my life.
Mad men define what mad is,
Turning witches and saints to ashes.
Rising masses marching to find,
Heretic blood.
