Lionheart
(1981)
Scorching
polished steel cuts the air like a knife
He's an angel on his own running free in the night
Feels the trembling power as he pulls back his wrist
Arouse the gleaming monster controlled by leathern fist
Motor city madness grips his brain as in a vice
Harbinger of death - Satan's arrow soon must strike
Bringing death
Harbinger of
death, no the reaper will not wait
The iron fist of permanence unto Lucifer's gate
Worshipful to him below and torture on the rack
Glory? Freedom? Courage? No, a life that won't come back
Motor city madness grips his brain as in a vice
Harbinger of death - Satan's arrow soon must strike
Bringing death
Out in the
night on Satan's highway Lionheart racing fast as lightning
Torn to the ground in a blaze of glory Lionheart beats the Devil's doorway
Lionheart
lifeless now lies bleeding, smashing glass and women screaming
Satan surely senses slaying life for Lionheart no more
Life for
Lionheart no more

Dogfight
(1984)
Scramble,
scramble, invaders on their way
Red alert, red alert, make this their dying day
Strapped in their cockpits, motors on full power
The Earth's courageous warriors will make this their killing hour
Dogfight
Interception
point computed, the fighters leave the Earth
Slicing through the stratosphere, riding the stellar surf
All systems steady, computers locked on course
At a million miles per hour to meet the alien force
Dogfight
Ionic beams
blazing, release the plasma bolts
Annihilating energy, 600 billion volts
Vapourizing strangers in an omnipotent cosmic show
Destroying members of a race we do not even know
Dogfight
Go make this
their dying day

We Are
Not the First
(1986)
When we make
contact with planet Earth
You'll have to prove that you're ready for us
With your nuclear bomb technology, warmongering philosophy
Like a suicidal candle you will snuff yourselves out
Has all this childhood been for nothing?
Hold on, take a stock of what you've got
Got to pool your resources
You
send your eyes into the skies
Your thirst for knowledge is great it's true
But in the twinkling of an eye you could lose everything, the balance tips
against you
From the heavens others have been, but passed you by -
you were not ready
Pyramids and temples, they all left their calling cards
We are not the first
