VALLEY OF THE KINGS
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

Father can you hear me, did you talk to mother earth
What did they say, what did they see, now ... is it time for your rebirth?
Open up the silent center of your mind,
I now want to know the future of your kind
In the valley of the kings, when the storm breaks loose again
Then the gods return to fight, for the future of their lives
In the valley of the kings
Oh mother do you hear me, did you talk to father moon
I don't want to leave my brothers in this temple of their doom
Open up the silent center of your mind,
I now want to know the future of your kind
In the valley of the kings, when the storm breaks loose again
Then the gods will spread their wings, in the valley of the kings
Ra vite, deus sanktus, ra vite
Ra vite,revertate, ra vite
Oh mother earth do you believe there is a place for us to go
Come set us free again and let us fly away and give us hope
There'll be a time for us to fly to our thrones up in the sky
In the valley of the kings, when the storm breaks loose again
Then the gods will spread their wings, in the valley of the kings
 
 
 
 

SOMEWHERE OUT IN SPACE
Music: Hansen/Lyrics: Hansen

I'm trapped in a castle of illusions out in space, - no more illusions -
Out on a journey, on a mission for the human race
Terrified, I had to realize that I've been talkin' to the gods of fire
I got nowhere to stand, 'cause I'm a running man... to get away
All that I see is the years... somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance
Tomorrow, I'll see it, another day's rise ... right before my eyes
Been sinking in sorrow, but now I'm gonna rise
No more reasons why
I'm a watcher in the dark, I'm so cold inside my heart
I'm a temple in the storm, and I'm bound to be reborn
Take me down to the underground, let me see the gods of fire
'Cause I know where they live and I know where they stand,
Another reason there to leave
Take me down, take me down, take me to the underground
I wanna meet the gods of fire
And all of their intention is the center of it all
All that I see is the years ... somewhere out in space
and it's time for deliverance
Now that I know I've got to get away
Time for deliverance now
And as the sun appeared, up in the sky
I saw another day, that's drifting by
I saw my people cry, a million tears
Into eternity they disappeared
Now it's time to say goodbye, or we will sink in sorrow
No, we don't know the reason why, another day, tomorrow
Oh, I thank you for giving me hope
Oh, follow me into a new life
All that I see is the years, all that I see is the tears
All that I see is the years... somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance
All that I see is the fear... somewhere out in space
And it's time for deliverance
I wanna know how to get away, I wanna know how to get away
Come set me free, just set me free, just let me go
I wanna get away, get away
Somewhere out in space
 
 
 
 

WATCHER IN THE SKY
Music: Hansen, Sielck/Lyrics: Hansen, Sielck

I'm watching the mountains I'm watching the sea
observing the creatures I am lost - set me free
across the heavens I made my way
I've seen empires rise and blown away
I have arrived at my destiny but after all there's just emptiness in me
Out in the darkness - I am going mad
Where are the others - there's silence in my head
'Cause I'm a watcher in the sky
I've seen universes die
Out in the cold my systems overload
I am lost in time
Watcher in the sky
I'm trapped in this nightmare
endless tortures and pain, milleniums have gone by
uhhh, it drives me insane!
Who am I now?
I'm not man - I'm not machine
I gave my life away for the Iron Savior dream
'cause I'm a watcher in the sky...
Hooked to the circuits of a lifeless, cold machine
Lost in a world of artificial means
ripped out of my body
I'll stand the test of time
Am I perpetual? - Am I devine?
I'm a watcher in the sky
My soul has drowned in the tears I cannot cry
I'm the watcher the chosen one but I am lost in time
I'm a watcher in the sky I've seen the years go by
I am chosen one
Out in the cold my systems overload and I am lost in time
Watcher in the sky
watching the mountains, watching the sea, watching the creatures
You'll never be free
Watcher in the sky
 
 
 
 

VICTIM OF CHANGES
Music/Lyrics: Downing, Halford, Tipton, Atkins

Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane
The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain
Don't you know you're driving me insane
You're tryin' to find your way through life
You're tryin' to get some new direction
Another woman got her man
She won't find no new connection
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
Takes another look around, you're not goin' anywhere
You've realized you're gettin' old and no one seems to care
You're tryin' to find your way again
You're tryin' to find some new...
Another woman's got her man
But she won't find a new...
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy
I want to know why is it why
Get up get out you know you really blew it
I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me
Once she was wonderful
Once she was fine
Once she was beautiful
Once she was mine...she was mine
Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore
Now change has come over her body, she doesn't see me anymore
Changes, changes, changes, changes
Victim of changes
