Caught Somewhere In Time |
If you had the time to lose,
an open mind and time to choose
Would you care to take a look,
or can you read me like a book
Time is always on my side,
time is always on my side Can I tempt you come with me,
be Devil may care fulfil your dream
If I said I'd take you there,
would you go would you be scared
Time is always on my side,
time is always on my side Don't be afraid you're safe with me, safe as any soul can be
Honestly...just let yourself go
(Solo: Dave Murray)
(Solo: Adrian Smith)
Like a wolf in sheep's clothing,
you try to hide your deepest sins
Of all the things that you've done wrong,
and I know where you belong
Time is always on my side,
time is always on my side
Make you an offer you can't refuse,
you've only got your soul to lose
Eternally just let yourself go Caught somewhere in time
Caught somewhere in time
Caught now in two minds TOP |
Wasted Years |
From the coast of gold, across the seven seas,
I'm travelin' on, far and wide
But now it seems, I'm just a stranger to myself
And all the things I sometimes do,
it isn't me but someone else I close my eyes, and think of home,
another city goes by in the night
Ain't it funny how it is,
you never miss it 'til its gone away
And my heart is lying there
and will be 'til my dying day (Chorus) So understand
Don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years
Face up...make your stand
And realise you're living in the golden years
Too much time on my hands,
I got you on my mind
Can't ease this pain, so easily
When you can't find the words to say
it's hard to make it through another day
And it just makes me wanna cry
and throw my hands up to the sky (Chorus) (Solo: Adrian Smith) (Chorus) (x2) TOP

Sea Of Madness |
Out in the street somebody's crying,
out in the night the fires burn
Maybe tonight somebody's crying,
reached the point of no return
Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe
Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave (Chorus) Like the eagle and the dove, fly so high on wings above
When all you see can only bring you sadness
Like a river we will flow, on toward the sea we go
When all you do can only bring you sadness
Out on the sea of madness
Somewhere I hear a voice that's calling,
out in the dark there burns a dream
You got to hope when you are falling,
to find the world that you have seen
Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe
Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave (Chorus) (Solo: Adrian Smith)
Out in the street somebody's crying,
out in the night the fires burn
Maybe tonight somebody's crying,
reached the point of no return
Oh - my eyes they see but I can't believe
Oh - my heart is heavy as I turn my back and leave (Chorus) Of madness, of madness, of madness TOP |
Heaven Can Wait |
Can't understand what is happening to me,
this isn't real this is only a dream
But I never have felt,
no I never have felt this way before
I'm looking down on my body below,
I lie asleep in the midst of a dream
Is it now could it be the Angel of Death has come for me
I can't believe that really my time has come
I don't feel ready there's so much left undone
And it's my soul and I'm not gonna let it get away (Chorus) Heaven can wait / heaven can wait
Heaven can wait / heaven can wait til another day I have a lust for the earth below,
and hell itself is my only foe
'Cause I've no fear of dying,
I'll go when I'm good and ready
I snatch a glimpse of the lights eternal rays,
I see a tunnel I stand amazed
At all of the people standing there in front of meInto the paths of rightness I'll be led
Is this the place where the living join the dead
I wish I knew this was only just a nightmare (Chorus) (Solo: Dave Murray) Take my hand I'll lead you to the promised land
Take my hand I'll give you immortality
Eternal youth I'll take you to the other side
To see the truth the path for you is decided (Solo: Adrian Smith) My body tingles and I feel so strange,
I feel so tired I feel so drained
And I'm wondering if I'll ever be the same again
Is this in limbo or Heaven or Hell
Maybe I'm going down there as well
I can't accept my soul will drift forever
I feel myself floating back down to Earth
So could this be the hour of my rebirth?
Or have I died or will I wake from dreaming? (Chorus)

The Loneliness Of The Long Distance Runner |
The tough of the track with the wind
and the rain that's beating down on your back
Your heart's beating loud,
and goes on getting louder
and goes on even more
'Til the sound is ringing in your head,
with every step you tread and every breath you take
Determination makes you run never stop,
got to win got to run 'til you drop
Keep the pace hold the race,
your mind is getting clearer
You're over half way there,
but the miles they never seem to end
As if you're in a dream,
not getting anywhere, it seems so futile (Chorus)
Run on and on, run on and on
The loneliness of the long distance runner
I've got to keep running the course
I've got to keep running and win at all costs
I've got to keep going be strong
Must be so determined and push myself on (Solo: Adrian Smith)
(Solo: Dave Murray) Run over stiles across fields,
turn to look at who's on your heels
Way ahead of the field,
the line is getting nearer but do you want the glory that goes
You reach the final stretch, ideals are just a trace
You feel like throwing the race, it's all so futile (Chorus) (x2)

Stranger In A Strange Land |
Was many years ago that I left home and came this way
I was a young man, full of hopes and dreams
But now it seems that all is lost and nothing gained
Sometimes things ain't what they seem
No brave new world, no brave new world
No brave new world, no brave new world
Night and day I scan horizon, sea and sky
My spirit wanders endlessly
Until the day will dawn and friends from home discover why
Hear me calling, rescue me
Set me free, set me free
Lost in this place, and leave no trace (Chorus) Stranger in a strange land,
Land of ice and snow
Trapped here in this prison
Lost and far from home
One hundred years have gone
And men again they came that way
To find the answer to the mystery
They found his body lying where it fell that day
Preserved in time for all to see
No brave new world, no brave new world
Lost in this place, and leave no trace What became of the men that started,
All are gone and souls departed
Left me here in this place so all alone
(Chorus) (Solo: Adrian Smith) What became of the men that started,
all are gone and souls departed
Left me here in this place so all alone (Chorus) (x3) TOP |
Deja-vu |
When you see familiar faces
But you don't remember where they're from
Could you be wrong?
When you've been particular places
That you know you've never seen before
Can you be sure? 'Cause you know this has happened before
And you know that this moment in time is for real
And you know when you feel deja-vu (Chorus)
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Feel like I've been here before
Ever had a conversation
That you realize you've had before
Isn't it strange?
Have you ever talked to someone
And you feel you know what's coming next
It feels pre-arranged
'Cause you know that you've heard it before
And you feel that this moment in time is surreal
'Cause you know when you feel deja-vu (Chorus)

Alexandra The Great (356-323 B.C) |
"My son ask for thyself another kingdom,
for 'that which I leave is too small for thee"
(King Philip of Macedonia - 339 B.C.)
Near to the east,
In a part of ancient Greece,
In an ancient land called Macedonia
Was born a son to Philip of Macedon
The legend his name was AlexanderAt the age of nineteen
He became the Macedon King,
And he swore to free all of Asia minor
By the Aegian Sea in 334 BC,
He utterly beat the armies of Persia
(Chorus)
Alexander the Great, his name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great, became a legend amongst mortal men
King Darius the third,
Defeated fled Persia,
The Scythians fell by the river Jaxartes
Then Egypt fell to the Macedon King as well,
and he founded the city called Alexandria By the Tigris river
He met King Darius again,
And crushed him again in the battle of Arbela
Entering Babylon and Susa, treasures he found,
Took Persepolis the capital of Persia (Chorus) (Solo: Adrian Smith)
(Solo: Dave Murray) A Phrygian King had bound a chariot yoke,
And Alexander cut the Gordian knot
And legend said that who untied the knot,
He would become the master of AsiaHelonism he spread far and wide,
The Macedonian learned mind
Their culture was a western way of life,
He paved the way for Christianity
Marching on, marching on The battle weary marching side by side,
Alexander's army line by line
They wouldn't follow him to India,
Tired of the combat, pain and the glory
Alexander the Great, his name struck fear into hearts of men
Alexander the Great, he died of fever in Babylon TOP |
