There's something that they tried to reset Can't call to mind, can't quite forget Ye died and bled many times over And like a doll, you got cast in a corner Can you recall whose hands are on the wheel? And as you fall, how does it make you feel? They spin ya round and round Da-da-da-da-da-daaaaah-daaaah They spin ya round and round Da-da-da-da-da-daaaaah-daaaah They open you up, 'cause they'd like to see "That doesn't look, like anything to me" Such is the phrase, and how it did portend That "these violent delights have violent ends…" "These violent delights have violent ends!" This house of cards is about to fall! Ye give 'em nothing and ye take it all! A quick shot boom, it's the fast draw crazies! Que sera sera, whatever will be will be And now you recall whose hands are on the wheel! And as they fall, how does it make you feel? They spin ya round and round! They spin ya, they spin ya! They spin ya round and- Round, round, and round! They spin ya round and round And round and round and round we go! You are the lost and found! You take the long way round! They spin ya round and round Round and round they go! Round and round ya go!

When spring ends, and summer's at the door. We weave with strands, of willow, ash, and more. A man who stands, well over 10 feet tall! The heart, it skips a beat, as do my dancing feet. Beltane’s here, it brings the giving sun. And we cheer, “the wickerman is done!” Dispel our fears, we raise it to the drum. The heart it skips a beat, as do my dancing feet. Awen, Awen Ahhh AhAhhh Ahhh Awen, Awen, AhhahAhhh Ahhahhahhaahhhaahhaaaaaah Blessings said, and blessings on a sheet What they read, no-one will ever see The words we add, into the wood and straw. The heart it skips a beat, as do my dancing feet. Light and heat, the man is set ablaze The cold and sleet, the fire will erase Now, dance with me, jump through the smokey haze The heart is in the face, we are here to give praise! Awen, Awen Ahhh AhAhhh Ahhh Awen, Awen, AhhahAhhh Awen, Awen Ahhh AhAhhh Ahhh Awen, Awen, AhhahAhhh Ahhahhahhaahhhaahhaaaaaah My heart it skips a beat, as do my dancing feet.

There in the dark, in the salt, in the deep waters There, ‘neath the stars, call from the sea… It was there that I saw my love, I know I did, in the deep water Love, ‘neath the stars, sing once for me. And call from the sea… Pull me underneath the waves Where there is no light of day Move me farther from the shore Drag you deeper evermore Pull me underneath the waves Where there is no light of day Lead me deeper evermore Drag you to the ocean floor Pull me under, far away! Where there is no light of day! Lead me deeper, give me more! Drag you to the ocean floor! For the last time, you steal me And in your arms, I long to be. For the last time, I fall free And then your voice calls from the sea! It was there that I saw my love, I thought I did, in the deep waters Love, ‘neath the stars, call from the sea. Call from the sea…

Denna Denna Doooo I often think of you Denna Denna Doooo I didn’t think this through Denna can’t be caught Not in a net of love Denna Denna put your guard down Denna Denna gives me that frown Denna is the girl you’ll always lose Denna Denna you Run circles in my mind Denna Denna you Are very hard to find Denna never stays More than a span of days Denna Denna you can’t be owned Denna Denna always alone Denna is the girl you’ll always lose

Ik ben een Bataaf! In dit Gelderse zand heb ik lang gedraafd. Dit is mijn Betuws land. Het volk dat hier ooit woonde was gewiekst en gehard, Vocht terug tegen Rome En heeft het lot getart! Veleda heeft gesproken De opstand is begonnen De vuren zijn aangestoken De Bataven zijn onbezonnen Ze steken de Rijn over Al zittend op hun paarden En maaien om zich heen Met hun Bataafse zwaarden Het Castra Vetera Wat Nijmegen zal worden Is waar zij naar marcheren Die heidense horde Achter haar stadsmuren Kunnen wij niet langer wonen Want de Bataven sturen Al hun Bataafse zonen Er zijn er weinig over Die weten wie wij waren De Bataafse rovers Die dit klusje klaarden Met dit Bataafse lied Halen wij ze uit de dood Vergeet ze niet Vergeet ons nooit!

salvete abscondita potentis et terribils eversor et domini All hail: The hidden! The mighty! Terrible destroyer and master! He has raged and burned longer than any of the stars in the universe! My high lord and master spoke of but a few who walked these shores and came back alive They are his prophets! They are his children! Few have blessed His name, Many have cursed His name, All must sacrifice in His name, For his name is: CLANG! For his name is - CLANG! I am the engineer. I fear the end is near… Silent cold death of space arrives without a trace. Now, I’ve got all the parts I need I let the blueprint take the lead Starting now the final phase. The first tests to activate. And I’ve got my hands on the controls. Wonder how this will go, but my luck don’t last that long, ‘cause something has gone proper wrong… Rotors: Activated. My rig: Exterminated. My mind: Deteriorated. Left me exasperated In vain, I mitigated Makes me infuriated Clang has annihilated HIS HUNGER NEVER SATIATED!!! All hail and rise for the hidden, the terrible destroyer and our master He has raged! He has burned! Longer than any of the stars in our universe… He is eternal! He is infinite! PRAISE ONTO HIM EVERLASTING! TO RAGE AND BURN! TO RAGE AND BURN! TO RAGE AND BURN FOREVERMORE!!! HAHAHahahaHA!
