Made of Rock & Steel

England’s old, in times ago,
Born of chainshot and cannonsmoke
Bid them rise, bid them rise, to fight again
They douse the flame, pacify the pack
Shun the name, bury sword and flag
England’s old in soot and grime,
Toiling, boiling on factory lines
Brick and fire, hot iron, heavy burden-bound
They water down the beer, throw you gentle lives
Give us hardship, give us strife
Us dwindled few, we stand and yearn to fight
Wrought from them, We’re made of rock and steel
(We’re made of rock and steel)
We’ll leave the masses in wanting
We’ll scorn warm city lights
We’ll weather cold and rain, this chain is ours to keep
Let all know, let all know
We’re made of rock and steel
(We’re made of rock and steel)
We’re made of rock and steel
(We’re made of rock and steel)

Ale Gang

Wending, bending, on the road, heady times about
The golden lights are firmly in sight; beloved Rose and Crown!
Our spirits high tonight
Everybody hold tight
With Surrey’s best we’re drinking ‘til the tap’s dry
Ale Gang
Ale Gang
Lifeblood in our hands
My woes are healing, when the good stuff flows, ploughing through the rounds
No pretenders, we’re gallivanters, drinking with a raucous crowd
Headstrong and brave, swept along an amber wave, we burst the wooden door
On unsteady limbs, the world begins to spin, we’re on the hunt for more

Love & War
03:23

You will kill, or be killed in the fight
Engage the enemy, with determined might
Power to the other side, leave the fallen behind
You are alone, in the hell of the fight
All is fair in love and war
(All is fair in love and war)
Matters not if you abhor
(All is fair in love and war)
Unity will be reborn
Bodies burn, the war machine is turning
And the melting pot will keep stirring
The powers that be, they turn a blind eye
We're told the purpose is to purify
All is fair in love and war
(All is fair in love and war)
Matters not if you abhor
(All is fair in love and war)
Unity will be reborn
The way of life, the eternal fight
Cradle to the grave, gifted from birthright
The powers that be, they turn a blind eye
We're told the purpose is to purify
All is fair in love and war
(All is fair in love and war)
Matters not if you abhor
(All is fair in love and war)
Unity will be reborn

Burning the Miles

Losing my marbles, losing my cool, I bade farewell to living straight
Took a coast to coast, out in the nowhere, has me feeling great (I'm feeling great)
Cigarette in my rust-stained hands, I'm clinging to the rail
Sand scraping at my face, I'm a man on his own, crossing empty space
Old Roller keeps on burning the miles
Old Roller keeps on burning the miles
Old Roller keeps on burning the miles
Old Roller keeps on burning the miles
Could be the Nullarbor, could be El-Alamein
Naught for miles but the scrubland-scape, burning, warping with the rays
Taste the rust, taste the dust and hear the heavy wheels skirl
It don't hurt my senses near quite as much, as that two-faced girl (as that two-faced girl)

Heaven's Gate
06:31

A jaded young man, dealt a hard hand in life
Friends disappeared a long time ago
Medicating through narcotics and liquor
An untimely end draws ever nearer
The young man yearns for meaning in life
Living each day with ball and chain
Never respected, forever rejected
The time bomb will detonate one day
Trapped, with no escape
Tortured internally
Heaven's gate, heaven's gate
Where men and women would meet their fate
Heaven's gate, heaven's gate
Where men and women would meet their fate
He's approached by a group one day
They will give him purpose, they claim
Rid the young man of misery, make him an equal on their journey
He's overwhelmed and captivated
Meaning at last, a chance to be accepted
No more self loathing and misery
The young man is overjoyed and willing
Trapped, with no escape
Tortured internally
Heaven's gate, heaven's gate
Where men and women would meet their fate
Heaven's gate, heaven's gate
Where men and women would meet their fate
39 people would meet their fate
Down there in Heaven's Gate
Men and women, young and old
Blindly doing what they were told
Trapped, with no escape
Tortured internally
Heaven's gate, heaven's gate
Where men and women would meet their fate
Heaven's gate, heaven's gate
Where men and women would meet their fate
