The King Will Come
07:37
|

|
In the fire, the king will come.
Thunder rolls, piper and drum.
Evil sons, overrun,
Count their sins, judgment comes.
The checkerboard of nights and days,
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.
See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Just a sign in the sand.
The checkerboard of nights and days,
Man will die, man be saved.
The sky will fall, the earth will pray,
When judgment comes to claim its day.
See the word of the prophet
On a stone in his hand.
Poison pen revelation,
Just a sign in the sand.

Warrior
05:38

I'm leaving to search for something new,
Leaving everything I ever knew.
A hundred years in the sunshine
Hasn't taught me all there is to know.
A valley, we will gather there,
Helpless in our surrender.
Tomorrow the plough becomes the sword,
Make us stronger in our danger.
Time will pass away,
Time will guard our secret.
I'll return again
To fight another day.
I'll have to be a warrior,
A slave I couldn't be,
A soldier and a conqueror,
Fighting to be free.

Throw Down The Sword
05:51
|
|||
|
Throw down the sword,
The fight is done and over,
Neither lost, neither won.
To cast away the fury of the battle
And turn my weary eyes for home.
There were times when I stood at death's own door
Only hoping for an answer.
Throw down the sword,
And leave the glory,
A story time can never change.
To walk the road, the load I have to carry,
A journey's end, a wounded soul.
There were times when I stood at death's own door
Only searching for an answer.

Rock 'n' Roll Widow
06:02
|
|||
|
It happened in an open field
Down in a southern state
And no one knows the reasons why
Some would say it's hate
They shot the guy who sold the dogs
It came as some surprise
And to the lady standing there
Brought sadness to her eyes
She's a rock and roll widow
Living in this town
Another rock and roll widow
Since they gunned him down
The heat of day still hung around
As night began to fall
The sheriff came up from the town
In answer to the call
The band played on in darkness
Not knowing what to do
As people ran from side to side
Just looking for a clue
She's a rock and roll widow
Living in this town
Another rock and roll widow
Since they gunned him down
It happened in an open field
Down in a southern state
And no one knows the reasons why
Some would say it's hate
They shot the guy who sold the dogs
It came as some surprise
And to the lady standing there
Brought sadness to her eyes
She's a rock and roll widow
Living in this town
Another rock and roll widow
Since they gunned him down

Ballad of the Beacon
04:33

|
We'll be leaving this town in the morning,
Tommorrow we'll be able to see,
I've had me enough of this city,
And she's had enough out of me.
Say if I climbed to the mountains,
Would you still follow me there,
Steal me away in an echo,
The mountains will always be there.
I'm turning my sights on the country,
Sold everything that I own,
I'm heading away from the bright lights,
Looking for where the wind blows.
Say if I climbed to the mountains,
Would you still follow me there,
Steal me away in an echo,
The mountains will always be there.
We'll be leaving this town in the morning,
Tommorrow we'll be able to see,
I've had me enough of this city,
And she's had enough out of me.
Say if I climbed to the mountains,
Would you still follow me there,
Steal me away in an echo,
The mountains will always be there.

Blowin' Free
05:20

|
I thought I had a girl
I know because I seen her.
Her hair was golden brown
Blowin' free like the cornfields.
She was far away
I found it hard to reach her.
She told me you can try
But it's impossible to find her.
In my dreams everything was all right,
In your schemes you can only try.
I thought I had a girl
I know because I seen her.
Her hair was golden brown
Blowin' free like the cornfields.

I'm wondering why your face no longer shines,
I'm wondering why your face no longer shines.
I'm wondering why you're always on my mind.
I'm stll wondering, give me a little more time.
I need to know why I can't see your tears,
I need to know why I can't see your tears.
I need to know how many lonesome years
I want to make you cast away your fears.
I'm wondering why your face no longer shines,
I'm wondering why your face no longer shines.
I'm wondering why you're always on my mind.
I'm stll wondering, give me a little more time.

Lady Whiskey

Lady Whiskey, such a sad sight, stumblin' as she walks.
She even hates herself sometimes.
Keep well clear, for a Saturday night.
Drowns her sorrow, eases her pain,
Wait till tomorrow, she'll do the same again.
Lady Whiskey's got a man, and he's just like her,
Tryin' to get the key in the door,
When they come home on a Saturday night.
Drowns her sorrow, eases her pain,
Wait till tomorrow, she'll do the same again.
Lady Whiskey's got a son, she's got a daughter, too.
The son's ok, but the daughter's on the way
When she comes home on Saturday night.
Drowns her sorrow, eases her pain,
Wait till tomorrow, she'll do the same again.
Lady Whiskey, she gets sick when she goes downtown.
One day drink's gonna put her down,
You won't come home on Saturday night.

Bird, rise high from the cinders, leave it all behind,
All the ruins and the fire.
Bird, raise your head from the ashes - many men lay dead.
You can see them like I.
Phoenix rise, raise your head to the sky.

Steve Rothery band Live in Plovdiv
by Steve Rothery
supported by 8 fans who also own “RoadWorks Vol 4”
The first official outing of the "what would be" Steve Rothery Band. Riccardo Romano was missing with his keyboard wizardry and no singer at all (later Martin Jakubsky of Stillmarillion). Marillion's catalogue was represented by excerpts of instrumental sections where Steve had his solo spot. This is a milestone in the forming of a great band that later became the spokesman of early Marillion era and of course of Steve's solo material. If you want to hear how it all started you have to get this

Live at the Baked Potato
by Soft Machine
supported by 7 fans who also own “RoadWorks Vol 4”
The legendary Soft Machine are firing on all cylinders here and this is a real musical treat and a superb offering from top to bottom.

The third Sanctuary album is also the best of the trilogy. This one dares even more to expand the Oldfieldian style in new and exciting directions. It may be sacrilege to suggest it, but if this *were* a genuine Oldfield album, many might say it was one of his best, too. It's true that Rob Reed is standing on the shoulders of a giant, but he is a giant talent in his own right. Often the music brings tears to the eyes, as if it were the soundtrack to the climax of a hard-won cinematic story.
