Empire of the Clouds - song lyrics

To ride the storm to an empire of the clouds
To ride the storm they climbed aboard their silver ghost
To ride the storm to a kingdom that will come
To ride the storm and damn the rest... oblivion
Royalty and dignitaries brandy and cigars
Grey lady giant of the skies
You hold them in your arms
The millionth chance they laughed
To take down His Majesty's craft
To India they say, magic carpet float away
An October fateful day...

Mist is in the trees
Stone sweats with the dew
The morning sunrise red before the blue
Hanging at the mast
Waiting for command
His Majesty's Airship, the R101
She's the biggest vessel built by man, a giant of the skies
For all you unbelievers the Titanic fits inside
Drum roll tight her canvas skin silvered in the sun
Never tested with the fury with the beating yet to come
The fury yet to come

In the gathering gloom the storm rising in the west
The coxswain stared into the plunging weather glass
We must go now
We must take our chance with fate
We must go now
For a politician, he can't be late
The airship crew awake for thirty hours at full stretch
But the ship is in their backbone
Every sinew every inch
She never flew at full speed
A trial never done
Her fragile outer cover
Her achilles would become
An achilles yet to come
Sailors of the sky
A hardened breed
Loyal to the king and an airship creed
The engines drum
The telegraph sounds
Release the cords that bind us to the ground
Said the coxswain "Sir, she's heavy"
"She'll never make this flight"
Said the captain "Damn the cargo"
"We'll be on our way tonight"
Groundlings cheered in wonder
As she backed off from the mast
Baptizing them her water
From the ballast fore and aft
Now she slips into our past

Fighting the wind as it rolls you
Feeling the diesels that push you along
Watching the channel below you
Lower and lower into the night
Lights are passing below you
Northern France asleep in their beds
Storm is raging around you
A million to one, that's what he said

Reaper standing beside her
With his scythe cuts to the bone
Panic to make a decision
Experienced men asleep in their graves
Her cover is ripped and she's drowning
Rain is flooding into the hull
Bleeding to death and she's falling
Lifting gas is draining away

"We're down lads" came the cry
Bow plunging from the sky
Three thousand horses silent as the ship began to die
The flares to guide her path ignited at the last
The empire of the clouds just ashes in our past
Just ashes at the last

Here lie their dreams as I stand in the sun
On the ground where they built
And the engines did run
To the moon and the stars
Now what have we done
Oh the dreamers may die but the dreams live on
Dreams live on...
Dreams live on...

Now a shadow on a hill
The angel of the east
The empire of the clouds may rest in peace
And in a country churchyard
Laid head to the mast
Eight and forty souls
Who came to die in France

I'm gonna work my way Out of this town. I'm gonna be someone. I know who I am. But right now, now! I don't think that I do. We could leave this place And fly far away. Let's escape this town. The streets and the cars and the crowds. Then into the clouds. Where nothing can stop us, Nothing forever. Where nothing can stop us, If we stick together. I might be dreaming but I think I believe. I might be seeing things That aren't quite real. But right now, now! I don't care if I do. I didn't mean those words That I said back then. I'm sorry! I will never ever Do that high again. I promise that I won't. Then nothing can stop us, Nothing forever. Nothing can stop us, If we stick together. Nothing can stop us, Nothing forever. Nothing can stop us, If we stick together. And now it's taking off. The journey begins! It's time to leave this place. The streets and the cars and the crowds. Then into the clouds. (To some place) far away, Forever ever. Stay the same. No never, never! Into to the sky. Then into the clouds. It's far away, Forever ever. Stay the same. No never, never! Into to the sky, Then into the clouds. Then nothing can stop us, Nothing forever. Nothing can stop us, If we stick together. And nothing can stop us, Nothing forever. Nothing can stop us, If we stick together.

Dead souls dressed in black A wake to mourn a nation Social heart attack The cause of death, temptation Blood lust, consuming power Brings us to our knees Great tolls paid in filth Metastasize infection Sick flood, washing over Pulls us under and drowns us in disease This shroud of shame restricting sight The past, a corpse we carry Dark clouds of fear obscuring light The future long since buried Behold the rising empire Behold the empire of the blind Deep hole, full of spite A hateful seed for sowing Roots rot, systemic plight The poison fruit still growing Pale flesh, tasting sour Fills us quickly and kills us with such ease This shroud of shame restricting sight The past, a corpse we carry Dark clouds of fear obscuring light The future long since buried Behold the rising empire Behold the empire of the blind Dead souls dressed in black A wake to mourn a nation Social heart attack The cause of death, temptation Blood lust, consuming power Drains us slowly and brings us to our knees This shroud of shame restricting sight The past, a corpse we carry Dark clouds of fear obscuring light The future long since buried Behold the rising empire Built on a mountain of shame Bathe in the rising hellfire Behold the empire of the blind The empire of the blind

Into the Abyss I'll fall, the eye of Horus Into the eyes of the night, watching me go Green is the cat's eye that glows In this Temple Enter the risen Osiris, risen again Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a god Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies All around is laid waste And in my last hour I'm a Slave to the Power of Death When I was living this lie, fear was my game People would worship and fall Drop to their knees So bring me the blood and Red wine for the one to succeed me For he is a man and a god And He will die too Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a god Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies All around is laid waste And in my last hour I'm a Slave to the Power of Death Now I am cold but a ghost lives in my veins Silent the terror that reigned Marbled in stone A shell of a man, god preserved For a thousand ages But open the gates of my hell I'll strike from the grave Tell me why I had to be a Powerslave I don't wanna die, I'm a god Why can't I live on? When the Life Giver dies All around is laid waste And in my last hour I'm a Slave to the Power of Death Slave to the Power of Death... Slave to the Power of Death...

In a foreign field he lay, lonely soldier unknown grave On his dying words he prays, tell the world of Paschendale Relive all that he's been through, last communion of his soul Rust your bullets with his tears. Let me tell you 'bout his years Laying low in a blood filled trench, killing time 'til my very own death On my face I can feel the falling rain, never see my friends again In the smoke in the mud and lead, smell the fear and the feeling of dread Soon be time to go over the wall, rapid fire and the end of us all Whistles, shouts and more gun fire, lifeless bodies hang on barbed wire Battlefield nothing but a bloody tomb, be reunited with my dead friends soon Many soldiers eighteen years, drown in mud no more tears Surely a war no-one can win, killing time about to begin Home, far away, from the war, a chance to live again Home, far away, but the war, no chance to live again The bodies of ours and our foes, the sea of death it overflows In no man's land God only knows, into jaws of death we go Crucified as if on a cross, allied troops they mourn their loss German war propaganda machine, such before has never been seen Swear I heard the angels cry, pray to god no more will die So that people know the truth, tell the tale of Paschendale Cruelty has a human heart, everyman does play his part Terror of the men we kill, the human heart is hungry still I stand my ground for the very last time, gun is ready as I stand in line Nervous wait for the whistle to blow, rush of blood and over we go Blood is falling like the rain, its crimson cloak unveils again The sound of guns can't hide their shame, and so we die on Paschendale Dodging shrapnel and barbed wire, running straight at cannon fire Running blind as I hold my breath, say a prayer symphony of death As we charge the enemy lines, a burst of fire and we go down I choke a cry but no-one hears, feel the blood go down my throat Home, far away, from the war, a chance to live again Home, far away, but the war, no chance to live again See my spirit on the wind, across the lines beyond the hill Friend and foe will meet again, those who died at Paschendale

Wake alone in the hills With the wind in your face It feels good to be proud and be free And a race that is part of a clan And to live on highlands And the air that you breathe So pure and so clean When alone on the hills With the wind in your hair With a longing to feel Just to be free Is it right to believe In the need to be free It's a time when you die And without asking why Can't you see what they do They are grinding us down They are taking our land That belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream Just a want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom It's a time wrought with fear It's a land wrought with change Ancestors could hear what is happening now They would turn in their graves They would all be ashamed That the land of the free Has written in chains And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman And I swear to defend And we'll fight to the end And I swear that I'll never be taken alive And I know that we'll stand And we'll fight for our land And I swear that my bairns Will be born free And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what I want I am the clansman Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We've the land of the free No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We've the land of the free No, no we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore No we can't let them take anymore We've the land of the free Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom Is it right to believe In the need to be free It's a time when you die And without asking why Can't you see what they do They are grinding us down They are taking our land That belongs to the clans Not alone with a dream Just a want to be free With a need to belong I am a clansman And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman Freedom Freedom Freedom Freedom And I know what I want When the timing is right Then I'll take what is mine I am the clansman

From the red sky of the east, to the sunset in the west We have cheated death and he has cheated us But that was just a dream, and this is what it means We are sleeping and we'll dream for evermore And the fragment remains, of our memories And the shadows we made, with our hands Deeper grey, came to mourn, all the colours of the dawn Will this journeyman's day be his last I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away But the memory still remains, all the past years not so strange Our winter times are like a silent shroud And the heartbeat of the day drives the mist away And winter's not the only dream around In your life you may choose desolation And the shadows you build with your hands If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night Then your journeyman's day has begun I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away In your life you may choose desolation And the shadows you build with your hands If you turn to the light, that is burning in the night Then your journeyman's day has begun I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away I know what I want, I'll say what I want And no one can take it away, I know what I want I'll say what I want, And no one can take it away
