SAXON LYRICS

1. Carpe Diem (Seize The Day)

Far out on the border, stands an ancient wall
The limits of the Empire where the eagles called
Carpe diem
Stretching out across the land, it snakes through moor and stone
The wall was built by Hadrian, an emperor of Rome
Carpe diem

They came, they saw, they conquered
The legions of the eagle will not fall

Carpe diem
Seize the day

From coast to coast they built and slaved a tower every mile
Legionnaires would live and die under foreign skies
Carpe diem
The garrisons would guard the wall looking to the North
Out into the territory of the Northern Hordes
Carpe diem

They came, they saw, they conquered
The legions of the eagle will not fall

Carpe diem
Seize the day
Carpe diem
Seize the day

Over time the legions left these long-forgotten ruins
Where battalions stood and held the line against the Picts and Druids
Carpe diem
Still the wall is standing now, keeping silent watch
Upon the frontiers lonely post towards the land of Scots
Carpe diem

They came, they saw, they conquered
The legions of the eagle will not fall
They came to fight and conquer
The legends of the eagle will not die

Carpe diem
Seize the day
Carpe diem
Seize the day
Carpe diem
Seize the day
Carpe diem
Seize the day

2. Age Of Steam

Looking back three hundred years
When horses ruled and turned the gears
No one saw the future yet to come
Life went on much the same
A different pace nothing changed
But now the march of progress has begun

Here comes the revolution
Here comes the age of steam

Stoke the fires to superheat
Work the mine the cold is deep
Feed the beast the slave of industry
People come to join the race
From towns and fields to claim a stake
Of promised riches in cities paved with gold

Here comes the revolution
Here comes the age of steam
Here comes the revolution
Here comes the age of steam

New machines of iron and steel
Pulled the plow and turned the wheel
Every new invention changed the world
The railways came on iron tracks
Crossed the world no turning back
Bringing wealth and power to the few

Here comes the revolution
Here comes the age of steam
Here comes the revolution
Here comes the age of steam

3. The Pilgrimage

Shine the light, show the way
We are leaving, leaving today
To take the path already trodden
To try and find what we're looking for
It will be hard, it will be long
We'll never falter, we shall be strong
Our destination that is our quest
We will not waiver, we will not rest

The journey has begun
We're marching on and on
The pilgrimage
The pilgrimage

Through the ages the path was worn
To find redemption and be reborn
In modern times we seek our heroes
We look for comfort, we search for peace
A higher meaning, something spiritual
A music icon or religious miracle
We look for something to show the way
We're all just pilgrims on life's highway

To tread the pilgrim's path
We won't be the last
The pilgrimage
The pilgrimage

Some holy relic, a miracle cure
Some deed of courage, a site of war
It's human nature to find a meaning
Of why we're here and endless dreaming
To set our sights on distant lands
We seek our way with open hands
It's life's big question that's what we seek
In times of trouble show no defeat

The journey has begun
We're marching on and on
We search the pilgrim's path
For icons of the past
The pilgrimage
The pilgrimage
The pilgrimage
The pilgrimage
The pilgrimage
The pilgrimage
The pilgrimage
The pilgrimage

4. Dambusters

Long before the twilight
The planes are standing by
Ground crew gather in the dusk
Low voices asking why
No one knows the target
The mission has begun
Flying into history
To drop the bouncing bomb

Start the mighty engines
Roaring into life
Turning to the airfield
Into the fading light
Gun the Merlin engines
Up to take of speed
The Lancaster is lifting
They pray they will succeed

Dambusters
Squadron of the brave
Dambusters
The sacrifice you made

The sacrifice you made

Flying low across the night
The British bombers flew
On the deadly secret raid
Hoping no one knew
Target looms the planes attack
Into the mouth of hell
Hold her steady, release the bomb
Only time will tell

Dambusters
Squadron of the brave
Dambusters
The sacrifice you made
Dambusters
Squadron of the brave
Dambusters
The sacrifice you made

5. Remember The Fallen

It came across the China Sea
No one knew the threat to you and me
All the warnings came too late
The battle started slow and sealed the fate
A silent killer stalked the streets
A chance to spread across to all we meet

When the war is done
Our lives will never be the same

Remember the heroes
Remember their lives
Remember the heroes
Remember, remember the fallen
Remember the fallen

Just like the plague, it traveled fast
Taking down whoever crossed its path
It started first with sick and old
The shocking truth was never really told
The science tried to find the virus
To kill the beast before it devours us

When the war is done
Our lives will never be the same

Remember the heroes
Remember their lives
Remember the heroes
Remember, remember the fallen

Is it never ending
Will we ever be free?
How long will it take
To bring normality?

So many died before their time
To put their lives upon the line
The fatal bug tore through us all
Some survived while others seemed to fall
No one took it serious
What caused it all is so mysterious

When the war is won
Our lives will never be the same

Remember the heroes
Remember their lives
Remember the heroes
Remember, remember the fallen
Remember the fallen
Remember the fallen
Remember the fallen
Remember
Remember, remember the fall

6. Super Nova

Deep inside the heavens
Far across the Milky Way
The star that shines the brightest in the sky
Is ready to explode

Lighting up the Universe
Implosion of the core
Planets turn, planets die
In this celestial war

Supernova
Hotter than the sun
Supernova
Destruction has begun
Supernova
Lighting up the sky
Supernova
The planet's turn to die

The shockwaves cross the universe
Spreading out in mighty cosmic waves
Four hundred distant light years they will travel
Before we see that day

A hundred million times
Brighter than the sun
Power of the nebula
The end has just begun

Supernova
Hotter than the sun
Supernova
Destruction has begun
Supernova
Lighting up the sky
Supernova
The planet's turn to die

Burning star's shattered light
Then becomes a galaxy's black hole
Defying laws of gravity
Pulling all into its deadly soul

From far across the Universe
We glimpse a dying sun
Releasing bursts of energy
Into this cosmic war

Supernova
Hotter than the sun
Supernova
Destruction has begun
Supernova
Lighting up the sky
Supernova
The sun is gonna die
Supernova
Supernova

7. Lady In Gray

She walks these lonely rooms
Caught inside the afterlife
You catch a glimpse of something
Moving in the corner of your sight
A silent ghostly shadow
A gentle breath against your skin

Down these hallways of her dreams
No one there to hear her screams

She's supernatural
Lady in gray
Supernatural
My lady in gray

She wanders down these corridors
Searching for the memories of her life
Captured in a photograph
Trapped between the dark and the light
A vision of what used to be
She's passing through the legacy of time

Some believe it's only superstition
Can't explain this ghostly apparition
To never leave these halls of pain
Forever here she will remain

My lady in gray
My lady in gray

How did you die
My lady in gray
What ended your life
My lady in gray
Were you taken too young
My lady in gray
Can you show us the answer
My lady in gray
Can no one end your misery
My lady in gray
Release you from this world
My lady in gray

My lady in gray
My lady in gray
My lady in gray

A shiver running down your spine
Is someone watching you?
A movement just beyond the light
Her shape appears to come in view
Gently sweeping past
Is she searching for the life she knew?

She'll never these halls of pain
Forever here she must remain
Down these hallways of her dreams
No one there to hear her screams

She's supernatural
Lady in gray
Supernatural
My lady in gray
Supernatural
Lady in gray
She's supernatural
My lady in gray

9. Black Is The Night

In the land of the white bear
Coldest place under the sun
The ocean is freezing
Days of the darkness begun
Winter is coming
Daylight is slipping away
It's the end of the sunrise
Shadows will cower the day

Feel the darkness closing in
Twenty four hours a day
Black, black is the night
Black, black is the night

On top of the ice cap
Temperatures drop well below
The blizzards are howling
Driving the ice and the snow
A fight for survival
Only the strong will remain
Shelter for warmth
Till the sunlight will come back again

The sun is gone, there's only night
Twenty four hours a day
Black, black is the night

Frozen white white kingdoms
Stretching out into the nights
The heavens are dancing
Cripturing northern lights
A blanket of stars
Spreading out over the sky
On the top of the world
Sometimes you live or you die

Feel the darkness closing in
Twenty four hours a day
Black, black is the night
Black, black is the night
Black is the night

10. Living On The Limit

We want a slice of everything
To see the world we're living in
Take a chance and take a leap
What we sow is what we reap

Don't be afraid to ride the storms
Just take the bull by the horns
Living on the limit
Living on the limit
Living on the limit
Living on the limit

All the world is like a stage
Just read the lines and turn the page
We wanna feel adrenaline
Just wanna live and take it in

No one cares what's right or wrong
Just let it go and sing the song
Living on the limit
Living on the limit
Living on the limit

I wanna scream into the wind
I wanna feel like on the brink
Gonna set the world on fire
I wanna take it to the wire

Don't be afraid to ride the storms
Just take the bull by the horns
Living on the limit
Living on the limit
Living on the limit
Living on the limit
