8. The Man That Never Was (4:31)
1. The War Drags Ever On
A war is raging that we don't understand
And I doubt that we can
There's no mistaking the mad sons of Islam
As they spill blood on the sand
A strange religion, that destroys through the Koran
Freedom's lost in this land
Hades or heaven. they're under it's command
Whatever rights had a man
[Pre-chorus]:
We'll hear the bomb blasts round' the world
With two world wars passed they want to start the third
As they aruge 'bout the planes they shot down
And count the dead they have found
An unholy war that's raising hell to the ground
[Chorus]:
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
ever on
An arm is severed with a gun still in it's hand
And it's just left to be damned
Their main endeavour has not gone as it was planned
Shoot the boys where they stand
War is forever but as if we had the time
To change their thoughts in their minds
This war will never reflect on all their kind
They should be glad just to die
[Pre-chorus]:
We'll hear the bomb blasts round' the world
With two world wars passed they want to start the third
As they aruge 'bout the planes they shot down
And count the dead they have found
An unholy war that's raising hell to the ground
[Chorus]:
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
ever on
[Solo]
A war is raging that we don't understand
And I doubt that we can
There's no mistaking the mad sons of Islam
As they spill blood on the sand
A strange religion, that destroys through the Koran
Freedom's lost in this land
Hades or heaven. they're under it's command
Whatever rights had a man
[Pre-chorus]:
We'll hear the bomb blasts round' the world
With two world wars passed they want to start the third
As they aruge 'bout the planes they shot down
And count the dead they have found
An unholy war that's raising hell to the ground
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
[Solo]
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
The war drags ever on
2. When All Hell Freezes Over
I feel my heart pumping through my skin now I've got the hunger, killing begins
You don't have to tell me where I went wrong you don't have to tell me
Where I belong
Can they still love me with their heads blown away what it was is not what it seems
Let's put it down to a run of bad dreams
I'm blue in the face from screaming out loud
But I won't give in, never I won't give in, never, I won't give in, never
So the only chance you'll get to steal my thunder
... Is when all hell freezes over, when all hell freezes over
For all these years of spilling up blood
I've fallen for something and it's not from above
You don't have to tell me the enemy's strong
You don't have to tell me 'cause I'm already gone
Can they still love me with their heads blown away what it was is not what it seems
Let's put it down to a run of bad dreams
I'm blue in the face from screaming out loud
But I won't give in, never I won't give in, never, I won't give in, never
So the only chance you'll get to steal my thunder
... Is when all hell freezes over, when all hell freezes over
It's hard enough to keep your feet on the ground
They run you out of luck let you swim and then drown
They realise their mistake you don't have to look in their eyes
To see they're filled with hate...
But I survive with the hunger there ain't nothing on this
Earth to put me under
When all hell freezes over, when all hell freezes over
3. Honour And Blood
Are those ours, over head why can't they shoot the enemy instead
We took the King's shilling for killing the Hun
Over there, they must be blind they think we're singing songs to pass time
Walking through land mines ain't really much fun
Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home
They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone
But we didn't come here to die on our own to be remembered in a tower of stone
For their honour for their honour and their blood, honour and blood
See the fear in our eyes they kick us to make sure we're still alive
To fulfill the duty of shooting someone if I were dead I'd understand
But I never thought that I could kill a man
Maybe tomorrow I won't see the sun
Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home
They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone
But we didn't come here to die on our own to be remembered in a tower of stone
For their honour for their honour and their blood, honour and blood
Are those ours, over head why can't they shoot the enemy instead
We took the King's shilling for killing the Hun
Over there, they must be blind they think we're singing songs to pass time
Walking through land mines ain't really much fun
Seeing those blue skies reminds me of home
They seem to forget we're made of flesh, blood and bone
But we didn't come here to die on our own to be remembered in a tower of stone
For their honour for their honour and their blood, honour and blood
4. Chain Of Fools
Well I never thought that I was your man but I found out I'm just a link in this chain
She's got me where she wants me I ain't nothing but a fool
She treated me mean, yeah treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
One fine morning this chain's gonna break on that same morning will be all I can take
She found me another woman that my heart never sees
Now I'm a first class fool yeah not the first to be
Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
I never want to leave you alone my momma says to come on home
My doctor says I better take it easy 'cause your loving is too strong
Well I never thought that I was your man but I found out I'm just a link in this chain
She's got me where she wants me I ain't nothing but her fool
She treated me mean, yeah treated me cruel
Chain, chain, chain, chain, chain of fools
5. W.M.L.A.
I'm walking home and it's so cold but I can feel the warmth of your hand
I'd walk through pouring rain and snow for your wish and every command
It's hard enough for me to say what I want, what I feel
You know I want you to say but, could it ever be real
Look at me now there are tears in my eyes
And it's two in the morning I'll never know how
You can say you're in love and then push me away
I'm wasting my life away, I'm wasting my life away
There's nothing else that I can do you know that it is my whole life
There's only so much to go through and we've got only one night
Look at me now there are tears in my eyes
And it's three in the morning I'll never know how
You can say you're in love and then push me away
I'm wasting my life away, I'm wasting my life away
My whole damn life, I'm wasting my life away, my life, yeah
And now it's all over and I can breath again wiser and older
But I can still feel the pain
Look at me now there are tears in my eyes
And it's five in the morning I'll never know how
You can say you're in love and then push me away
I'm wasting my life away, I'm wasting my life away
I'm wasting my life away, I'm wasting my life away
6. Too Tired To Wait For Love
I'm sick and tired of listening to your habitual lying
I didn't understand it 'cause it's just bad timing
I try to tell her but she won't keep still she'll never know it but she always will
I can't tell you what she's thinking of one thing's for certain and it won't be love
Too tired to wait for love, too tired to wait for love, too tired to wait for love
She be-littles her lovers and for no good reason
Is there anything left that she could still believe in
She'll be the one that's gonna break your heart
You'll never know it till it falls apart
Too tired to wait for love, too tired to wait for love, too tired to wait for love
She seems to think that I'm ill, sick in the mind
But does the blind lead the blind I must be careful
So I don't seem unkind you betcha!
Too tired to wait for love, too tired to wait for love, too tired to wait for love
7. Kill
I'll tell it to your body piercing skin with a power drill
I'm running through you honey it's time for some blood to spill
I'll hold you under water throw in the fire and turn it on
Decapitate and slaughter it's easy just to use a gun
Do you remember when I walked your hand do you remember
That I felt so bad that you'd been blown away for good
Kill! The poor bastard's dying. Kill! The poor bastard's dying
She's lost all sense of feeling as her leg falls on the floor
I never heard the screaming of breaking hands in a slamming door
The hand is burned and peeling melt it right down to the bone
The carcass is still bleeding and the face will remain unknown
Do you remember when I walked your hand do you remember
That I felt so bad that you'd been blown away for good
Kill! The poor bastard's dying. Kill! The poor bastard's dying
Kill! And no-one else here to blame me...
There's nothing left but a clawing hand the smell of death, decomposing glands
The woman's spine is snapped in two no more eyes for her to see through
Do you remember when I walked your hand do you remember
That I felt so bad that you'd been blown away for good
Never again to walk through your face
Kill! The poor bastard's dying. Kill! The poor bastard's dying.
