Heroes tales, there battle songs
For death or glory
Their the broken ones
With tortured minds,
left with the memories
Its haunting,

This bloody war

For death is all around us
The sky ablaze with the gun sound
Of this bloody war

These men their blood was wasted
In a stupid war
Pushed to kill
As was never, never before
Marching on, with a battle comrade gone
Their fighting, their fighting,
But they keep on dying

For death is all around us
The sky is ablaze with the gun sound
Of this bloody war

O God in heaven,
Send your messenger
For their hearts desire
To escape the fire !

Breaking Out
Words & Music D. Canning © 1985
Verse 1
They surround me
With Steel bars and uniforms
An extra pound of flesh
On the scales of justice
They have condemned me
To blank walls, until I fall
All around are the names of men
that we here before my time
Bridge
In these passing days my lord
It is my freedom I seek,
All the blood on my hands
They gonna execute my soul
Chorus
I’m Breaking Out,
from Steel bars and uniforms
Breaking Out
Cold walls until I fall
Repeat:
Verse 2
They have chained me
My hands high,
To the fate of the world
A restless mind unfolds with no forgiveness
They engaged me
As I cling tight too my very soul
Haunted to the end
I’m a broken man
Chorus
I’m Breaking Out,
From steel bars and uniforms
Breaking Out
Cold walls until I fall
Repeat:

Silent Rage
Words & Music D. Canning © 1985
verse 1
A siren sounds
In his mind
Into the city
With the roll of a dice
You won’t see him coming
No warning signs
Shouting out too the people
The truth and the lies
Chorus
The lines of people
Pictured in his tortured mind
Full of passion and hatred inside
He’s just an actor
Standing on a painted stage
Or is it murder by a his silent rage
Verse 2
Standing by a road sign
under the light
Casting shadows on the street outside
No one saw him waiting
or going over his lines
playing out his part in his mind
Chorus
The lines of people
Pictured in his tortured mind
Full of passion and hatred inside
He’s just an actor
Standing on a painted stage
Or is it murder by a his silent rage
Silent Rage,
Silent Rage
Verse 3
A siren sounds
Another part of town
Burning up, oh his soul on fire
Racing to the weekend
and the call of the crowd
Striking hard with a knife
And beating heart
Chorus
The lines of people
Pictured in his tortured mind
Full of passion and hatred inside
He’s just an actor
Standing on a painted stage
Or is it murder by a his silent rage
Silent Rage, Silent Rage

Verse 1
Rolling, through the streets
With blood on your feet,
A heart of steel,
With men for your soul

They are falling
The screams of pain,
Their calling,
But you still go on
Through the fields,
Across the deserts
Your taking lives

The steel chains,
They all look the same
The broken tracks,
Are all that remain
With fuel vein,
Your poison rains
Through the sky
Can you tell me why
Can you tell me why
