HIGHLAND GLORY LYRICS

1. Holocauster Ride

Come on down to fairground zero
Holy coward - you ain‘t no hero
All aboard the holocauster ride
This ain‘t no amusement attraction
It‘s your dead-end destination
Better be blessed, no God will be your guide

A one-way ticket to hell
You won‘t live to tell
Kamikaze carousel

Get ready to die for
Your sins of holy terror
No God can save your souls
On the holocauster ride
By suicide or sacrifice
Escape to fools paradise
No honour to die for
The promised land lie

Blind faith - the spell you‘re under
No will - I have no wonder
You never question why you pray with fire
Satan is your host for the evening
A warm welcome is what you‘re receiving
You‘re all invited to your funeral pyre

I‘ll read you fairytales
Of war alibis
From your book of lies

Get ready to die for
Your sins of holy terror
No God can save your souls
On the holocauster ride
By suicide or sacrifice
Escape to fools paradise
No honour to die for
The promised land lie

A one-way ticket to hell
You won‘t live to tell
Kamikaze carousel

Get ready to die for
Your sins of holy terror
No God can save your souls
On the holocauster ride
By suicide or sacrifice
Escape to fools paradise
No honour to die for
The promised land lie

No choice of hell or paradise
The promised land‘s a lie
There is no honour to die
On the holocauster ride

2. Limitation Of Life (Dark Side Of The Mind)

The dark truth unknown to the innocent child
Without any worries to trouble the mind
We live for the moment when we are young
Without any thoughts for the days to come
The immortal illusion withers and dies
With the awareness of this mortal life

Don‘t want to leave with deeds undone
Don‘t want to go with words unspoken
Don‘t wanna be a memory
Don‘t want to live to see my line broken

Ghosts of night come crawling
From the dark side of your mind
"I‘ll be gone forever"
A cold chill creeping from behind
That makes you realize
The limitation of life

Time flows like a river to the sea
Nothing can ever last eternally
That‘s the beauty and sadness of life
When you discover, it cuts you like a knife
The part we all play will be over one day
All those who‘d love to live fade away

Don‘t want to leave with deeds undone
Don‘t want to go with words unspoken
Don‘t wanna be a memory
Don‘t want to live to see my line broken

Ghosts of night come crawling
From the dark side of your mind
"I‘ll be gone forever"
A cold chill creeping from behind
That makes you realize
The limitation of life

If we could live forever and a day
Would we appreciate life the same way?
If future was past
What would you do if today was your last?

Don‘t want to leave with deeds undone
Don‘t want to go with words unspoken
Don‘t wanna be a memory
Don‘t want to live to see my line broken

Ghosts of night come crawling
From the dark side of your mind
"I‘ll be gone forever"
A cold chill creeping from behind
That makes you realize
The limitation of life

Ghosts of night come crawling
From the dark side of your mind
"I‘ll be gone forever"
A cold chill creeping from behind
That makes you realize
The limitation of life

3. Temptation Highland

I‘ll lead you into temptation
Like sirens call your name
Drawn towards this new sensation
Once more you play the game

Give in to satisfaction
This new attraction
You‘ll never be the same
You‘ll never wanna miss
You can‘t resist
You‘ll be comin‘ back again

I‘m gonna take you higher
I‘m gonna make you scream
Your dark dreams of desire
Surrender to your wildest dreams
Don‘t try to stop this feeling
The passion in your heart
I‘ll make you start believing
We‘ll never be apart

I‘ve been waiting forever for someone like you
I‘ve been waiting forever for my dreams to come true
I‘ve been waiting forever for someone like you
I‘ve been waiting forever for my dreams to come true

In the temple of temptation
The island of your dreams
Mesmerized by seduction
Under my spell of sin

Tonight I own your soul
You lose control
You‘re ready to release
The urge you feel inside
It can‘t be denied
You‘ll do just as I please

I‘m gonna take you higher
I‘m gonna make you scream
Your dark dreams of desire
Surrender to your wildest dreams
Don‘t try to stop this feeling
The passion in your heart
I‘ll make you start believing
We‘ll never be apart

I‘ve been waiting forever for someone like you
I‘ve been waiting forever for my dreams to come true
I‘ve been waiting forever for someone like you
I‘ve been waiting forever for my dreams to come true

I‘m gonna take you higher
I‘m gonna make you scream
Your dark dreams of desire
Surrender to your wildest dreams
Don‘t try to stop this feeling
The passion in your heart
I‘ll make you start believing
We‘ll never be apart

I‘ve been waiting forever for someone like you
I‘ve been waiting forever for my dreams to come true
I‘ve been waiting forever for someone like you
I‘ve been waiting forever for my dreams to come true

4. Without You

A new sunrise
Through baby‘s eyes
The innocence of a newborn child

We finally see
It‘s all so clear
Reveal the reason to be

I wish I could be there
Every step of the way
My dear

Without love there to guide me
And to follow me through
Without you there beside me

And to follow me through
I‘d be lost in this world
Without you
I‘d be lost in this world
Without you

Someone to care
I‘m always there
To shelter you from the storm

To watch you grow
A lifetime to love
But someday I‘ll have to let go

I wish I could be there
Every step of the way
My dear

Without love there to guide me
And to follow me through
Without you there beside me

Without love there to guide me
And to follow me through
Without you there beside me

Without love there to guide me
And to follow me through
Without you there beside me

5. Twist Of Faith (Garden Of Heathen)

How heavy the burden
The weight of the cross that you bear
How much pain and misfortune
Must be thrown your way?

What may raise the question?
A shadow of doubt in your mind
Upon your faith and beliefs
Turn the truth into lie

Sometimes you may wonder
If things were meant to be
Surely something
More than we can see
I believe our choices
Forge our path by weight of will
A ghost of chances
More than design of destiny

There is a thin line
Between love and hate
Belief and twist of faith
Garden of heathen
When love turns to hate
There‘s a twist of faith

(A thin line between true love and hate)
(Between belief and a twist of faith)

(A thin line between true love and hate)
(Between belief and a twist of faith)

(A thin line between true love and hate)
(Between belief and a twist of faith)

(A thin line between true love and hate)
(Between belief and a twist of faith)

No future‘s decided
No path that was chosen for you
No faith undivided
Or a tide that can‘t turn

I don‘t believe there‘s a reason
No tragedies were meant to be
Just luck out of season
No guiding hand of destiny

Sometimes you may wonder
If things were meant to be
Surely something
More than we can see
I believe our choices
Forge our path by weight of will
A ghost of chances
More than design of destiny

There is a thin line
Between love and hate
Belief and twist of faith
Garden of heathen
When love turns to hate
There‘s a twist of faith

(A thin line between true love and hate)
(Between belief and a twist of faith)

(A thin line between true love and hate)
(Between belief and a twist of faith)

(A thin line between true love and hate)
(Between belief and a twist of faith)

(A thin line between true love and hate)
(Between belief and a twist of faith)

(A thin line between true love and hate)
(Between belief and a twist of faith)

(A thin line between true love and hate)
(Between belief and a twist of faith)

(A thin line between true love and hate)
(Between belief and a twist of faith)

(A thin line between true love and hate)

6. Far Cry From Freedom

So many dangers and threats in this world
No one can ever feel safe and secure
Heaven and hell is right here on earth
There‘s so much pain man must endure

One life - one shot
One chance to live out your dreams
Death comes to knock at your door
While we‘re sleepwalking down dead-end streets

As long as our children‘s not safe in these streets
Paradise is a dying illusion
As long as innocent people are killed

Earth is a long way from Eden
When religion, the power and fortune you gain
Is worth more than the lives that we made
More than the sacrificed victims you slain
We‘re still a far cry from freedom

Nothing is sacred and never will be
There are no tears to wash away all our sins
All the injustice throughout history
Who can replace all their wasted years

One life - one shot
One chance to live out your dreams
Death comes to knock at your door
While we‘re sleepwalking down dead-end streets

As long as our children‘s not safe in these streets
Paradise is a dying illusion
As long as innocent people are killed

One life - one shot
One chance to live out your dreams
Death comes to knock at your door
While we‘re sleepwalking down dead-end streets

As long as our children‘s not safe in these streets
Paradise is a dying illusion
As long as innocent people are killed

7. Earthbound Spirit

Waking up from a dream
This is not what it seemed
Can you tell me the state that I‘m in?
Is it all in my head?
Am I alive, am I dead?
I am caught here somewhere in between

All my life I‘ve wondered
Where do we go?
Maybe there‘s more to this life?

Lead me into the light
Be my guide
Through the passage to the other side
What‘s behind?
May I find peace of mind?
Lost and alone
On my own
As I enter the gates where I‘ll go
Into the unknown
Earthbound spirit

Suddenly I was gone
I had so much left undone
Few are fortunate enough to bid farewell
Always afraid our lives would part
All my life it hurt inside my heart
What the future holds we never can tell

All my life I‘ve wondered
Where do we go?
Maybe there‘s more to this life?

Lead me into the light
Be my guide
Through the passage to the other side
What‘s behind?
May I find peace of mind?
Lost and alone
On my own
As I enter the gates where I‘ll go
Into the unknown
Earthbound spirit

"I can see you, I can hear you
Can you feel my presence here?
I try to reach you, try to get through
Need to tell you how I feel..."

All my life I‘ve wondered
Where do we go?
Maybe there‘s more to this life?

Lead me into the light
Be my guide
Through the passage to the other side
What‘s behind?
May I find peace of mind?
Lost and alone
On my own
As I enter the gates where I‘ll go
Into the unknown
Earthbound spirit

Earthbound spirit
Earthbound spirit...

8. Diary Of The Dying

In mysterious ways we hold on to the past
Nothing remains, nothing can last
Romantic illusions - the present conceals
Discover the magic - the future reveals

We keep longing back
Even though we have
All we‘d dream life would give

Gone are the days
We will always remember
In the cold winter nights
Of our lives last december
Turn of the tide
Sands of time makes us older
Memories fade
As the seasons grow colder

Don‘t wait to see at the end of the line
You spent all the years in the past left behind
Cherish the present, and you‘ll realize
The days passing by are the days of our lives

Leave regrets and fears
Ghosts of past deceive
Some day magic will appear

Gone are the days
We will always remember
In the cold winter nights
Of our lives last december
Turn of the tide
Sands of time makes us older
Memories fade
As the seasons grow colder

Gone are the days
We will always remember
In the cold winter nights
Of our lives last december
Turn of the tide
Sands of time makes us older
Memories fade
As the seasons grow colder

Gone are the days
We will always remember
In the cold winter nights
Of our lifes last december
Turn of the tide
Sands of time makes us older
Memories fade
But memories never disappear

9. Blood Of The Innocent

[dedicated to the memory of James Patrick Bulger]

The death of innocence
When faith and hope has died
A child defenseless
The ultimate sacrifice
This devils child play
Unmeasureable hate
The child you led away
Unknowingly to his fate

Cold blooded murder
A curse for all mankind
Unbearable burden
No more peace of mind
The wrath awakened
You worthless disgrace
The life that you have taken
A threat to the human race

Young rebels without a conscience
Cold hearted killers without a cause
The wicked ways of our nature
Boundaries of madness no one knows

There‘s no words that can ease all the sorrow
There‘s no words to take away all the pain
You should not live to see no tomorrow
Because of you only memories remain

How I hate that you‘re still here breathing
Still alive when you should not be
For the child you left dead and bleeding
Pay the price, and not be free
Only sentence to serve you justice
Eye for an eye, the only fair trial
Your identity may be different
But your soul is stained by the blood of the innocent child

This unforgivable
Sins of humanity
This unbelievable
Cruel insanity

Someone‘s daughter
Someone else‘s son
Senseless act of slaughter
Of unfortunate ones
The grief and hatred
By this evil breed
Kill without regrets
To fill their twisted needs

What makes a man harm an innocent child
Take away the years, a life denied
Sinister sandman bring you to sleep
What an unworthy way to leave

There‘s no words that can ease all the sorrow
There‘s no words to take away all the pain
You should not live to see no tomorrow
Because of you only memories remain

How I hate that you‘re still here breathing
Still alive when you should not be
For the child you left dead and bleeding
Pay the price, and not be free
Only sentence to serve you justice
Eye for an eye, the only fair trial
Your identity may be different
But your soul is stained by the blood of the innocent child

How I hate that you‘re still here breathing
Still alive when you should not be
For the child you left dead and bleeding
Pay the price, and not be free
Only sentence to serve you justice
Eye for an eye, the only fair trial
Your identity may be different
But your soul is stained by the blood of the innocent child

How I hate that you‘re still here breathing
Still alive when you should not be
For the child you left dead and bleeding
Pay the price, and not be free
Only sentence to serve you justice
Eye for an eye, the only fair trial
Your identity may be different
But your soul is stained by the blood of the innocent child

Have you ever had a heart?
No remorse for the lives you‘ve torn apart?
Do you feel when you hear their cries?
Who are you to decide who‘s to live or die?

Your soul is forever stained
By the blood of the innocent child

10. Alone

[originally by Heart]

I hear the ticking of the clock
I'm lying here the room's pitch dark
I wonder where you are tonight
No answer on the telephone
And the night goes by so very slow
Oh I hope that it won't end though
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone

You don't know how long i have wanted
To touch your lips and hold you tight
You don't know how long I have waited
And I was going to tell you tonight
But the secret is still my own
And my love for you is still unknown
Alone

Till now I always got by on my own
I never really cared until I met you
And now it chills me to the bone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
How do I get you alone
Alone, alone
