Under A Dark Sky

Uli Jon Roth Under A Dark Sky Lyrics
1.SOS

Save our souls! Salva nos!
Save our souls! Salva nos!

Sag'mir wo wir hingehn'...
Morgenrot, wo sich finden?
Todsünden - Tod sie verkünden
Dunkel wo sie münden...
Tag und Nacht so nah...


2.Tempus Fugit

Stop that clock! Spawning shock and awe...
Servants, we are servants of Big Brother
Who is our father!

Tempus fugit - Stop the New World Order!
Semper fugit - Save our sons and daughters!

Servants, they are servants of Big Brother
They don't know the father...

Vade retro, vade retro!
Christus est venturus!
Vade retro, vade retro!
Judex mundi est venturus!
Vade mecum - Salva nobis!
Babylon! Old battle ground inside the human soul...
The Lord has spoken thus: Stop killing!


3.Land Of Dawn

Techno man - turn insane
We are going wrong!

Poisoned sky - make Manito cry
Where are the angels tonight?
Where is that light?
We're going wrong - going wrong
We're going wrong...

***

Techno mind - turning blind
We are going wrong!
Children die - make Manito cry
Where are the flowers of heaven tonight?
Where is that light?
We're sailing home - sailing home
We're sailing home...

***

Please show us the way, Lord!
Please show us the way to heaven
'Cos we're on the road to hell...

Please show us the highway home
Please show us the road to heaven
'Cos we're on the road to hell...

***

Are we heading home or are we way gone?
Hades bound or are we living on?
Are we heading home or are we way gone?
Chaos bound or are we living on?

When the sun goes down
To die alone is certain now
When the lights go down
Silence cries for the clown

***

When the sunlight cries
When the last purple warrior dies
When we learn to live and to die...

When the last man stands
When the midnight hour calls
Then we shall sail away

To the land of dawn
Sailing to the sun of glory
(The rainbows show the way)
Avalon waiting at the end of a story...

***

Feel the dark shroud falling
From the wings of night itself...
See a dark cloud slowly palling
As the sign of the grail tolls the bells...

Hear the night wind calling
From the edge of life itself
Chasing shadows of tommorow
With the light of the lantern of time

***

When the lion wind is roaring
We shall find the land of the dawn
When the lion wings are soaring
We will ride into the dawn
With the summer wind -
On the summer's wings...

When the lion brings the thunder
We shall find the land of the dawn
When the lion calls from yonder
We will fly towards the dawn
With the summer wind -
On the summer's wings...

***

Hear the night wind calling
From the edge of life itself...


4.The Magic Word

Do you know the magic word
Do you know the secret
I once knew the tragic bird
Long ago

Are we near the end of times?
Yonder waits the pain
I can hear dead children's rhymes
Sounding in vain

STOP KILLING!
STOP KILLING!!
STOP KILLING!!!
Give life a chance

Deep down you know what's right or wrong
Deep down below, inside you...
Deep down you know where you belong
Which side you're on...

But you are the one
To choose right or wrong
It's better to lose all you've won
Than to lose the son!

STOP KILLING!
'Cos it is always wrong
STOP KILLING!!
You've gotta know what's right or wrong
STOP KILLING!!!
We've got to know where we belong

STOP KILLING! 'Cos it is always wrong
STOP KILLING! 'Cos it is every life is sacred

Though you know the magic word
Though you feel the pain...
Still your bow and our words
There's no gain...

Do you dare to throw the first stone?
Are you without blame?
Do you care to know the first one?
Are you without shame?

Are there flowers in your heart
Still alive or are they charred?
Are the towers of your heart
Full of life or are they barred?
Feel your heart!

Are the windows of your heart
Full of light or are they shut
Are the echoes of your past
Will they fade or will they last?
Will they remember you?

In the name of the one you love
In the name of the one you trust
In the name of the one above
Give life a chance

STOP KILLING!
STOP - STOP KILLING!!
STOP KILLING!!!
STOP KILLING!!!!
Stop KILLING!!!!!
STOP KILLING!!!!!!
GIVE LIFE A CHANCE


5.Inquisition


6.Letter Of The Law

Hear the law!
Fear the law!
Here comes the law!

Feed the law!
Fear the law!
We have the license to kill
Poison all!
Lock them up and shoot them at wall!
Lies on stilts - break their wills
Schock and awe - we're laying down the law!

Letter of the law keeps the people small!
Keepers of the law - we bring shock and awe
We bring the war - need to keep the people small

Let them fall - keep them small
We decide who gets the ball...
Let them toil - till our soil
Steal their civil liberties
Turn their friends to enemies...

Salva nos! Salva!

Shock and awe - rockets soar
We are now above the law!
We want war - we want war!
Like you've never seen before!

An eye for an eye is our alibi...

Wake up! Wake up! Wake up to the nightmare!
Wake up! Wake up! Wake up to the nightmare!
Welcome to the New World Order
Terror without borders
Welcome to the war!
Welcome, welcome to the new world
Welcome to the nightmare

We must bow down to law and order
Kneel down before us
We'll elect you and protect you

Too much power in one man's hand
Yes, Mr. President

Vengeance is mine saith the Lord
Heed the spirit of the law...


7.Stay In The Light

When the guns fall silent
And the birds of war have flown
When the sounds of death and violence
Are no more - take me home...

When my heart is pining
For the choice of yesterday
And your love alone is shining
Let me stay, let me stay...

Stay in the Light
Of the one who was there before the night
Stay in the light
Of the one who was there to bind the might

Of the one who was
To conquer the night all alone
Alone...

What can I rely on?
There's an empty cup of hope
And a bed of nails to lie on
Cannot cope - I can't cope...

When my ship is sinking
And my eyes are going blind
When this bitter cup I'm drinking
Never mind - never mind...

When my soul is crying
For the lives long lost in time
When my only hope is dying
Give me time - give me time...


Stay in the light
Of the one who was there before the night
Stay in the light
Of the one who is there to give sight
Of the one who is there to conquer the night all alone - alone
All alone - we're all alone
Gotta turn back home tonight to Chris alone
The truth be known - May Your Kingdom come!


8.Benediction

(silent lyrics)

Take me home
From this land of sorrow
And awaken the seeds that were sown
Point the way that once was known
To the golden sands of home...

Show me the way to the highlands
Where the chimes of freedom call my name
Where the wings of yesterday
Decide what's here to stay
And rings of Thunderbay
Call forth my heart alone
To the golden sands of home...

Now here I stand before the Son of Man
Crossing over to the other land
And my hand is trembling as I show
Ancient colours painful to remember
Hidden in dark chambers
Lord, all I know is You
All I know are golden seas of home...

The gate that was closed opens wide
As I take my last and final stride inside
And the way in front of me
Is white as is Eternity
This day with certainty
Will stand in the Light of the One...


9.Light & Shadows

Hallowed be thy name
Hallowed be thy name

We are waiting for you in darkness
Waving the wands of night
We are trembling like leaves in the last days
But there's no light
There's no light..

We are crying for you from the shadows
Trying to crawl to the light
We are searching for you in the meadows
Yonder circle hawks and kite
Yonder hawks and kite...

We are serving the sons of perdition
Who as princes rule the world
Whom their father has given permission
To worship the black pearl
Worship the black pearl...

We are seeding with poison our skies
Azrael sings on his Haarp
We are bleeding and dying like flies
In the cold light of F-sharp
The cold light of F-sharp...

The millions of people in bondage
To the dark side of the moon
Tortured creatures, survivors of clone age
On this island we're marooned
'Tis the planet of the doomed...

I hear echoes of stone age increasing
From a future far too tall
I see hordes of Neanderthals policing
Pride does come before the fall
Pride comes before the fall...

Save us now!
Lord have mercy on our souls
Save us through your grace!

And replenish our deserted fountains
And remember our famished race
And keep calling our names from your mountain
Remember your soldiers of grace
The soldiers of your grace...

Save us now!


10.Tanz In Die Dammerung

Morgenrot - wo sind diesterne der Hoffnung?
Morgentau - kannst Du mir sagen, wo wir hingehn'?
Die Sonne versinkt - Dein Leben verrinnt...

Pain - real pain! weltenschmerz...
Cain - thine brother hast slain,
Getroffen ihn mitten ins Herz!
Seelenschmerz...

Searchlights from Hell - brother who fell
Wandering into the nightmare...
Trapped in his cell - leaden shell
What kind of armour does your knight bear?
Disintegrate into the nightmare?

Tanz in die Dammerung - cry till you die
Face your trial!
Sons of Decameron - dancing their lives away
Drunk denial!

Sag' mir warum sind wir Menschen?
Sag' mir warum sind wir Menschen dumm?
Save our souls! We've gotta know:
Worship of hell is Satanic
Gate's almost closed! We've gotta go:
We're living inside theTitanic
Creating a man-made pandemic

Sons of Decameron - dancing their lives away
Drunk denial!
Sag' mir warum sind wir Menschen?
Sag' mir warum sind wir Menschen dumm?

Mortiuri te salutant! || Sacrifice! Crucify!
How can you deny Zebaoth?
Nephilim! Arch villian! (Shoot! Kill him!)
Angst, Wahnsinn sind sein Reich...
Panem et circensis... || Deus, salva nos, salva nos!
Why oh why?

To die when the morning falls
Die when your name is called
Die when the second tower falls
But where are we tonight?

Die when the morning cries
Death has prepared our lullabies
Cry for your life - one last good-bye
Prepare your selves to die...

REX TREMENDAE

Confutatis maledictis flammis acribus addictis
Pain! - Confutatis - Real pain! Maledictis

Do you know my name? Rex tremendae!
Do you know my name? Rex tremendae!
No one knows my name... Majestatis || I Am that I Am!

Stop Dying! || Up! Wake up! || Hallowed be thy name!
Stop Dying! || Must be born again...
Death is not in vain... || Life you shall regain...
We're the children... || Death is not in vain...
Life you shall regain... || We're the children... || Hallowed be
thy name!
