Saxon (band)

"Just follow the rules that's what they said to me You got to get an education you got to forget about the blues But I was hooked on rock and roll I got a demon in my soul I got one thing to say you got to let the music play"

"I'm writing you this letter From a dark and lonely place I hope it finds you well I long for your embrace but I sit here in my solitude I fear the worst for I have seen a vision the vision of my curse Of my curse"

"Dig my friends set him free Read the words the prophecy Death will come on swiftest wings Whoever moves this sleeping king Carved in stone the book of death The pharaohs curse will take your breath"

"You called my name Deep in the coldest blackest night You saved my life I heard your voice deep in the night But in my nightmare I start to scream In my nightmare this is no dream"

"Prepare yourself for anarchy soon the end will come Sit there and delude yourself there's nowhere left to run The seas will rise across the land and sweep us all away Everything is changing soon that's the price we pay"

"Did you see the signs has the time begun It was the seventh star of the seventh sun Round and round this circle turns The planets all align this is the time This is the hour we've waited for the sign"

"Defenders of the faith to you this vow we make When our backs against the wall we’ll not surrender You may be young or old there’s no difference at all Just raise your glasses high and sing our song"

"They never thought we could make it but that was never the case We made a vow to each other that nothing could break Just stand your ground against the odds That’s what we have to do Together we can face the worst That life can throw at you"

"Mystic powers in your hand Take the blade and free the land Unite the kingdom from sea to sea Excalibur your destiny"

"Resistance is futile There’s no where to hide We’ve run out of options We flow with the tide We wait for tomorrow To see if it comes Defences are pointless It’s inevitable"

"Wood and steel, gilt and glass Everything was made first class Nothing spared, the finest in the worldWe see them now in picture books Built by you on Belfast docks The greatest ships the world has ever seen"

"Through the years, the memories fade Forgotten now inside his grave The first in line, an empire lost in timeUntil a farmer breaks the seal The terracotta tomb revealed To rise again for all the world to see"

"If you wanna make a life playing in a rock and roll band You've got to take a chance and don't look back There ain't no easy way, you can't fake it You've got to be yourself, don't follow the pack When it seems you'll never get a break You've got to make a vow to keep the faith"

"Blasting chunks of magma into the stratosphere A thousand scarlet sunsets the land, a sea of fear To the east of Java basking in the sea The sign of Krakatoa is rising from the deep"

"Saxon was one of the early leaders of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, alongside Iron Maiden and Def Leppard, even outdistancing them at the onset."
