BLAZE BAYLEY LYRICS

1. Redeemer

Interpret data to fit your belief
That is the nature of humanity
You have become now your own biggest threat
I am anointed the saviour of men

The righteous master of all they will see
There can be no hope for them but me
Preparing a faith as strong as iron chains

Redeemer

The gaps in their knowledge have made it clear
They must be ruled by starvation and fear
Abdicate all responsibility
To the redeemer, the one that must lead

The righteous master of all they will see
There can be no hope for them but me
Preparing a faith as strong as iron chains

Redeemer

2. Are You Here

Broken burned and damned, I'm the impossible machine
The remnant of a more complete and beautiful dead dream
Born from dark ambition and the worst of human thought
I never asked to be this way, but I accept it all

Are you here

Each second of each minute of each hour I search for you
My glory walks along now hand in hand with my own doom
I heard your voice so many times when I thought I was dead
Illusions of the human was it only in my head

Are you here
Are you here
You told me to feel
Are you real

Beyond the confines of atomic physics lies a truth
One thousand times smaller than a proton it is in you
The particle accelerator has no fear of god
Is all creation now explained by Peter Higgs’ boson?

Are you here
Are you here
You told me to feel
Are you real

3. Immortal One

Three golden angels
First come for cleansing annihilation
Three golden angels
Second come to build his holy city
Three golden angels
Third brings him to rule us in his glory

Warriors of the new master arise
Unholy unclean unbelievers will die
Preparing a place for our saviour of souls
To make for him now a perfect new world

Immortal one
All will be done
Immortal one

Pembridge:
They are ignorant and without souls, without god.
Worship of animals, plants and the air.
Signs of witchcraft and of the devil are clear.
Every trace of that evil must be eradicated
For my glory, in my honour, with my power.

My 3 golden ships will arrive as angels,
32 years between each one.
In the belly of my third angel I will be.

Warriors of the new master arise
Unholy unclean unbelievers will die
Preparing a place for our saviour of souls
To make for him now a perfect new world

Immortal one
All will be done
Immortal one
Three angels come
Immortal one

4. The First True Sign

Look into the western sky
On a winter solstice night
If two stars falling you see
Then begins the prophecy
Sail across the midnight sky
Like a star the eagle brother will fall

The first true sign

The great darkness then will come
Soon all of you shall be gone
Tears you cry will burn your face
As your world they desecrate
Sail across the midnight sky
Like a star the eagle brother will fall

The first true sign

Oceans of tears you will cry
Tears that will not save your life
Only with your prayers of light
Can you make a hero rise

Sail across the midnight sky
Like a star the eagle brother will fall

The first true sign

You are home
256

5. Human Eyes

Look up and see what can't be seen by human eyes
This hand reaching has touched the lost believers face
The certainty of these years has crumbled like a frozen rose
Frozen by a pitiless self in the torment of a cold deceit

Walk where no one else can walk
Stand where no one else can stand
Then feel every moment
Hold what no one else can hold

Hate will last here longer than the smell of death
All that was lost they vow they will not forget
Cleansing your own thoughts of reasons to live for your dream
They wait for you to fail and say your demise will surely come

Walk where no one else can walk
Stand where no one else can stand
Then feel every moment
Hold what no one else can hold

Future is past was I the only one who dreamed
Where are you now is this where you thought you'd be
You are unknown by those who approach all of these open graves
Tomorrow's yesterday is eulogised and carved into this stone

Walk where no one else can walk
Stand where no one else can stand
Then feel every moment
Hold what no one else can hold
Look up and see what can't be seen by human eyes

6. Prayers Of Light

All of us could die today you know that's just a fact
Don't give your life easily there is no going back
Remember why you're fighting and just try to keep your head
If your brother falls then shout, stand up you're not dead

Your prayers of light
Have saved my life
Your prayers of light
They made me believe that I could stand again and fight

They have no compassion, empathy or sympathy
Every one of us they will feed into their machine
We are all in pain and we are fighting for our life
Pain tells you that you're alive you are still in the fight

Your prayers of light
Have saved my life
Your prayers of light
They made believe that I could stand again

Now we stand and fight

I am not as I was
From darkness I have come
Against angels of gold
I now stand with you all

Your prayers of light
Have saved my life
Your prayers of light
They made believe that I could stand again

Now we stand and fight

7. 18 Days

Weeping as no one before her has wept
A feeling of panic takes that takes all her breath
Emotions like lava are burning inside
Burning with hatred, self-pity and lies

A circle of doubt and of fear closes in
Choking it blinds her to every good thing
She can't face living if he's not around
How much will his broken promise cost now?

He promised he would never leave her again
Promised his days as a soldier would end
Her and their baby would always come first
Now they want him back for one more mission

He tries to calm her and move to the door
Says he'll be gone 16 days and no more
Thinks of his comrades, he owes them his life
Now forced to choose between them and his wife
Falls to her knees, begging don't go
Weeping, pleading, begging don't go

A hero in her eyes, now that hero has died
A hero in my eyes, now that hero has died
I was a hero in her eyes, now that hero has died
He was a hero in my eyes, now that hero has died

18 days passed and still there was no word
She took the hand of his daughter, his world
Feeling abandoned, forsaken betrayed
She lays them in darkness and drains life away

Weeping as no one before her has wept
A feeling of panic takes that takes all her breath
Emotions like lava are burning inside
Burning with hatred, self-pity and lies
Falls to her knees, begging don't go
Weeping, pleading, begging don't go

A feeling of panic takes that takes all her breath
Weeping as no one before her has wept

8. Already Won

You can survive a thousand years in space.
You can stand on the new world.
You have already won.

This is the time to claim what's mine, don't step any closer
The web you weave when you aim to deceive
Now look what you've done to me
Your heart lies heavy and now I'm ready

My skin gleaming in the sun

How can I take what you gave away so foolishly?
No more will I wait to fix your mistakes, how blindly you pushed me away
You heart lies heavy, now I'm ready

My skin gleaming in the sun
Now nothing else matters, I've already won

9. Life Goes On

I was living far in the future then
Always thinking two or three moves ahead
I did not see that everything I needed
was right in front of me
Precious moments that I let pass me by
I was focused on what became a lie
Everything I missed, all of those tears of joy
that I will never cry

Life goes on

So I’m standing, inside I'm broken down
And I'm walking but I just don't know how
I’m trying not to look too far ahead
and not live in the past
Now I’ll take it, whatever you can give
I will be here, this moment’s where I’ll live
Tomorrow may not come and even if it does
I know she won’t be there

Life goes on

And it doesn't stop for anything or anyone
And I get the feeling that I'm being dragged along
It’s not right or wrong but it is always true
And it just doesn't matter what I'm going through
And even though I'm on my knees and begging it to stop
The world still turns and life goes on

10. The Dark Side Of Black

They blindly accept conventional wisdom
Imagining that there is nothing more
Sheldrake said the speed of light is not constant
If that can change then so can I
Time to commit to a new course of action
Time to stop repeating all the same hate
Put away small things, anxiety and doubt
I can begin to change my life now

In a single moment, the point of no return
No return to my self-destruction, circling my own defeat

They said I was nothing but that is not true
How could I survive after all I've been through?
That is their fear, and this is the truth
A revolution begins inside you
A revolution begins

Revolution and redemption at last
Atonement, escape from the dark side of black

In a single moment, the point of no return
No return to my self-destruction, circling my own defeat

11. Eagle Spirit

Here is a prophecy.
Two stars will fall from the western sky, on a winters night
The first our dead brother
Though he looks not like us,
Be sure he is our brother, come from the eagle spirit
We must pray our prayers of light for him
If our prayers of light be strong enough
If our belief be strong enough
He will rise, and he will know he is home
The second star is a golden ship
Strange gods of gold will hunt us
They are come to eat us all
Every one of us devoured until there is no memory or trace of us
Come to enslave our great mother
Come to violate her
This all shall come

There are things that I'll never see, that will stay a memory
That's where they'll always be so far, far away from me
Things that I'll never know, now that I am here
Dreams I will always hold as dear as the life that I lost

Shoulder to shoulder they are ready to fight
Fight for their future, fight for their life
As brothers and sisters, they stand against the wind
Standing hand in hand 'til the battle begins
Their children are slaughtered, their families destroyed
They are starving to death, a bloody revenge is their right

Spirit of the eagle, this land is their home
Hunted down and murdered, here in the place they were born

Moment to moment, here on this sacred ground
They have been living in harmony
Now the redeemer, the new conquistador
Self-righteous master is revealed to all

He plans their extinction, great mother enslaved
Ravaged and polluted, they are living their final days

Spirit of the eagle, this land is their home
Hunted down and murdered, here in the place they were born
I found my redemption, ancient prayers of light
Brought me from the darkness, here is the place I belong

They will never break us, we have to believe
They will never break us if our spirit is strong
If we can hold on to what we believe
They will never break us if our spirit is strong

Their children are slaughtered, their families destroyed
They are starving to death, and bloody revenge is their right

Spirit of the eagle, this land is their home
Hunted down and murdered, here in the place they were born
I found my redemption, ancient prayers of light
Brought me from the darkness, here is the place I belong
Here is the place I belong

Things that I'll never know, now that I am here
Dreams I will always hold as dear as the life that I lost
