STRANA OFFICINA LYRICS

1. The Ritual

On this barren hill
On a dark and cold night
When Orion shines to lead the way
Can you hear them too?
Are you one of the chosen few?

They come to give us the word
And they come to give us the truth
They come from so far away

So come join the ritual
Our friends from the stars
So come join the ritual
Come show us the way.

The circle drawn now
For the friends beyond
And your eyes
They burn with the flame
The great ship will land
So take me by the hand
And together we'll walk in the light

They come to take us away
They come to give us the truth
They come for me and you

So join the ritual
So come join the ritual
Can you hear them callin' you
So come join the ritual
Another world to live a better life.

2. Gamblin' Man

Pokers and flushes are my only love
I live when the dice start to roll
Win some, lose some
Life is just a game
I live for the thrill of it all

Croupier pay me my due
Freedom is playin' with you
Lady I'm a gamblin' man
No time for lovin' tonight, let me go.

When mornin' comes I'll be home again
Will you still be true
Waiting by your doorstep
Please let me in
Honey whats' wrong with you
A broken heart is the price that you pay
For playin' this lonely game

Snake eyes, snake eyes never slowin' down
Gamblin' my soul tonight
Seven eleven won't stop me comin' on
So just leave me alone

You'll never take, that gamblin' spirit away
Ad if I die it'll still be there
Someone called it must be time for me to go
Another town, another casino

A gamblin' man will never give in
To lose or to win
It don't mean a thing

Snake eyes, snake eyes never slowin' down
Gamblin' my soul tonight
Seven eleven won't stop me comin' on
So just leave me alone

Snake eyes.

3. Unknown Soldier

Father can you tell me the reason
Of all this hate
Mother by the window is waitin' for me
Will I see the dawn of one more day

Cry, cry alone in the darkness
How many friends left behind
Tonight will be my only friend
Tonight I'll be alone again

Just look around you
Tell me what do you see
People who die for a cause of insanity
Unknown soldier tell me why did you die
In some far away land scared and alone

Fire cross fire no cause is worth dyin' for
Fire, cross fire the general calls for more

Oh, killin' you like a lamb
To the slaughter you go
Kills only you a pawn in this power game

Tell me why
Youth must be sent to die
By old men who sit at home
Someday for this they must pay, they must pay

Year after year
Time will pass you by
Unknown soldier in some forgotten grave
Fire cross fire took you away
No one remembers your face or name.

4. Metal Brigade

Don't you race with the eagle
If you can't fly
Don't you run through the fire
You might even die
You're always reachin'
For somethin' too high
You were the ones
Who would never obey
To what people say
Whatever they say
Metal brigade

They stare at you
'cause you're not like them
With your bike and your leather
You live your way
If some kid needs you today
Only you will be there
You will be there, not them

Run like the wind and
Don't stop no more
No foolish preachers or moral
Deceivers in your way
You are the ones who fight for today
Only you, you defendin' the faith
Defendin' the faith
Inside your heart
That no one will take.
