WICKER MAN

HAND OF FATE IS MOVING AND THE FINGER POINTS TO YOU

HE KNOCKS YOU TO YOUR FEET AND SO WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
YOUR TONGUE HAS FROZEN NOW YOU'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
THE PIPER AT THE GATES OF DAWN IS CALLING YOU HIS WAY

[PRE-CHORUS]
YOU WATCH THE WORLD EXPLODING EVERY SINGLE NIGHT
DANCING IN THE SUN, A NEWBORN IN THE LIGHT
SAY GOODBYE TO GRAVITY AND SAY GOODBYE TO DEATH
HELLO TO ETERNITY AND LIVE FOR EVERY BREATH

[CHORUS]
YOUR TIME WILL COME (X4)

THE FERRYMAN WANTS HIS MONEY, YOU AIN'T GONNA GIVE IT BACK
HE CAN PUSH HIS OWN BOAT AS YOU SET OFF UP THE TRACK
NOTHING YOU CAN CONTEMPLATE WILL EVER BE THE SAME
EVERY SECOND IS A NEW SPARK, SETS THE UNIVERSE A FLAME

[PRE-CHORUS]
YOU WATCH THE WORLD EXPLODING EVERY SINGLE NIGHT
DANCING IN THE SUN, A NEWBORN IN THE LIGHT
BROTHERS AND THEIR FATHERS JOINING HANDS TO MAKE A CHAIN
THE SHADOW OF THE WICKER MAN IS RISING UP AGAIN

[CHORUS]
YOUR TIME WILL COME (X4)

[SOLOS]

[CHORUS]
YOUR TIME WILL COME (X4)

[OUTRO]
WOO-OOHH OHH, WOO-OOHH OHH (X6)
 RUN TO THE HILLS

WHITE MAN CAME ACROSS THE SEA

HE BROUGHT US PAIN AND MISERY
HE KILLED OUR TRIBES, KILLED OUR CREED
HE TOOK OUR GAME FOR HIS OWN NEED
WE FOUGHT HIM HARD, WE FOUGHT HIM WELL
OUT ON THE PLAINS WE GAVE HIM HELL
BUT MANY CAME TOO MUCH FOR CREE
OH WILL WE EVER BE SET FREE?

[VERSE 1]
RIDING THROUGH DUST CLOUDS AND BARREN WASTES
GALLOPING HARD ON THE PLAINS
CHASING THE REDSKINS BACK TO THEIR HOLES
FIGHTING THEM AT THEIR OWN GAME
MURDER FOR FREEDOM THE STAB IN THE BACK
WOMEN AND CHILDREN ARE COWARDS ATTACK

[REFRAIN]
RUN TO THE HILLS, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
RUN TO THE HILLS, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES

[VERSE 2]
SOLDIER BLUE IN THE BARREN WASTES
HUNTING AND KILLING THEIR GAME
RAPING THE WOMEN AND WASTING THE MEN
THE ONLY GOOD INJUNS ARE TAME
SELLING THEM WHISKEY AND TAKING THEIR GOLD
ENSLAVING THE YOUNG AND DESTROYING THE OLD

[REFRAIN]
RUN TO THE HILLS, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
RUN TO THE HILLS, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES

[GUITAR SOLO]

[REFRAIN]
RUN TO THE HILLS, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
RUN TO THE HILLS, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
RUN TO THE HILLS, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
RUN TO THE HILLS, RUN FOR YOUR LIVES
 "FLIGHT OF ICARUS"

AS THE SUN BREAKS, ABOVE THE GROUND

AN OLD MAN STANDS ON THE HILL
AS THE GROUND WARMS, TO THE FIRST RAYS OF LIGHT
A BIRDSONG SHATTERS THE STILL

HIS EYES ARE ABLAZE

SEE THE MADMAN IN HIS GAZE

FLY ON YOUR WAY, LIKE AN EAGLE

FLY AS HIGH AS THE SUN
ON YOUR WAY, LIKE AN EAGLE
FLY AND TOUCH THE SUN

NOW THE CROWD BREAKS AND A YOUNG BOY APPEARS

LOOKS THE OLD MAN IN THE EYE
AS HE SPREADS HIS WINGS AND SHOUTS AT THE CROWD
IN THE NAME OF GOD MY FATHER I FLY

HIS EYES SEEM SO GLAZED

AS HE FLIES ON THE WINGS OF A DREAM
NOW HE KNOWS HIS FATHER BETRAYED
NOW HIS WINGS TURN TO ASHES TO ASHES HIS GRAVE

FLY ON YOUR WAY, LIKE AN EAGLE

FLY AS HIGH AS THE SUN
ON YOUR WAY, LIKE AN EAGLE
FLY, TOUCH THE SUN

YEAH
FLY, ON YOUR WAY, LIKE AN EAGLE
FLY AS HIGH AS THE SUN
ON YOUR WAY, LIKE AN EAGLE
FLY AS HIGH AS THE SUN
ON YOUR WAY, LIKE AN EAGLE
FLY, TOUCH THE SUN
ON YOUR WAY, LIKE AN EAGLE
FLY

FLY AS HIGH AS THE SUN
