The Call Of The Wild 06:55

The Call of the Wild Word and Music: Nick Amarant Can you hear a thunder rolling? Death knell calling, death knell tolling? Can’t you feel the ground is shaking? Dancing to the sound they’re making! Beasts of earth they charge like thunder, Fire spits up from down under! Red devil-glow in their eyes they run Past you – to Mother Gaia! They’ve heard the call of the wild! The call of the wild! It’s the call of the wild! They’ve heard the call of the wild! The call of the wild! It’s the call of the wild! Look to the sky blacking out the sun Are beasts of feather way above, No colour coats their wings, Only just the dust rides them now! And with their wings they beat you deaf! Keep your ears covered and your head down! Their squawks break the silent wind Hide to cover, run and duck! Get out of the way lest you be killed, You cannot stop these beasts you fool! Make sure you get to higher ground, Get inside – do not make a sound! Children stand paralysed with fear, As this stampede of hooves draws near, Their bodies break – they’re bones are snapped! The beasts tear their path! They’ve heard the call of the wild! The call of the wild! It’s the call of the wild! They’ve heard the call of the wild! The call of the wild! It’s the call of the wild! Skimming across the sand come the snakes, Out of deep fissures and from lakes. Their scales covered in ancient dust And hissing joins the chorus. Underneath the legs of the herd beasts Like a black wave – if you stand still, A silent death overcomes you, and You’re dragged under the sand! What was once our town that we did keep Is now a blackened earthen heap, The dust has settled come knee-deep, The beasts have torn their path! And what was the thing that made run? Will it ever happen again? We live in fear that we may hear again, The call of the wild! the call of the wild! the call of the wild! It’s the call of the wild! They’ve heard the call of the wild! the call of the wild! It’s the call of the wild!

We Need to Change Our Ways Words and Music: Frank McKenna We are all angels with only one wing The only way we fly is to embrace* An eye for an eye will make the world go blind# NO! NO! NO! NO! The universe is like the sea But we're only on the shore The human race is like a ticking time bomb Of corruption violence and disease The world is dying We need to stop The world is dying We need to change our ways The world is dying We need to stop The World is dying We need to change our ways *Inspired by a quote by Luciano De Crescenzo #Inspired by a quote by Gandhi

My Heart’s Lament Words&Music: Nick Amarant Oh, to bring back the Glory Days! Oh, to spend my time there! Such sweet romances I yearn for! Miss for; burn for! If only to be bright again, My heart laments for happy days. Oh, to bring back the Glory Days! Oh, to spend my time there! All the people I’ll never see Beside me; without me! If only to belong again, My heart laments for happy days. Oh, to bring back the Glory Days! Oh, to spend my time there! Everything that I’ll never do.. Once more or twice more.. If only to be me again, My heart laments for happy days. Oh, to bring back the Glory Days! Oh, to spend my time there! To be with her forever there, Safer there; keep us there! If only to feel love again, My heart laments for happy days.

The City in the Sky Words and Music: Nick Amarant I am awaiting the darkness to fall. Protect me as I hide, I fear their call. Monsters...outside. They smell our fear, our sadness, our pain. They’re celebrating their ill-fated reign. Tragic beasts – they’re flying to the City in the Sky! Our last hope – our last defense – will fall before our eyes! Mine is the body they’ll use for their feast. My innocent flesh will taste so sweet. Monsters...inside. They will denounce the most holy god. Bad blood shall not stain the house of the lord. Tragic beasts – they’re flying to the City in the Sky! Our last hope – our last defense – will fall before our eyes! Sanctus Abbas, servo nos... Scelestus bestia provicisor! Nos vox, permissum nos existo Unis per invicem. (Loose translation: "Holy Father, save us! Wicked beasts march! We cry - let us be one with each other...") In the name of our God – we will fight for the City in the Sky, so devine. We will fight for the City in the Sky, so devine. We will fight for the City in the Sky, so devine. We will fight for the City in the Sky! In the name of our God – we will fight for the City in the Sky, so devine. We will fight for the City in the Sky, so devine. We will fight for the City in the Sky, so devine. We will fight for the City in the Sky!
