Brian Boru 03:58
Down by where the great, great river winds Lie the ruins of a fort from ancient times Times of invaders, times of savage war And the first king to ever rule them all And all that are left are stories, And stories will have to do Brian Boru Gone is the brother, who was king of this land King of Mumha, and king of our clan But now that I reign, I will take control Perish those who think that they can opppose. And all that are left are stories, And stories will have to do Brian Boru ************************************

I hear the call, I hear the trumpet screaming in the east Great walls fall, kowtow to the unseen beast In the shimmering haze, march across the melting valley floor Under moonlight gaze, blue sheets of ancient lore They walk among us now, tongues of flame in their eyes And if you ever feel in doubt, just cast a cold eye to the skies But the houses burn silent, and the streets are stained with blood When the horses come on Allen, will it be a wasted flood? Stand guard within ear, stare out into eternal space Hear the words I want to hear, fear what I have to face In the dying heat, step across the black tar land With the pounding beat, scmitar in her hands The pain, the pain, the pain, the pain of my Egyptian victory Her tears flood her face, this space, my place, my place of recovery Through the gates of the desert, I carry you to a golden place Know that this is where I get better in the dusts of open fate Hey babe, I wanna say, the things that you don't wanna know Look down, look around, you can but oh don't you know Friend in need, knows the scene, don't know what to do Here's the truth, just for you, I'm not sad and hey that'll do ****************************************

Overload 04:29
Pinch of the minds I cannot see I miss the way it used to be All at once, my head's in a mess Stay too quiet they get restless I can lie to anyone but myself Last track of attack, first form of defence One is one and two is too much When I grit my teeth I know I've had enough Where can I hide? Up on the high plain, the barren plateau When you call for help you know you're alone Got what I wanted now I'm sick of it Get to throw myself away, bit by bit It's like a dream that went badly wrong I can't wake up because I've slept too long And now I have to sleep for ever more Fantasy is alright but in reality it's a bore Where can I hide? *****************************************
