And now I spend my time looking all around, For a man that's nowhere to be found. Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching, I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around. *Chorus*: 'Cos I'm a wrathchild, well I'm a wrathchild. Yeah I'm a wrathchild. I'm coming to get you, oooh yeah. Say it doesn't matter ain't nothin' gonna alter the course of my destination I know I've got to find some serious piece of mind, or I know I'll go crazy But now I spend my time looking all around, For a man thats nowhere to be found. Until I find him I'm never gonna stop searching, I'm gonna find my man, gonna travel around. *Chorus* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 3) Murders In The Rue Morgue (Harris) 4:14 I remember it as plain as day although it happened in the dark of the night. I was strolling through the streets of Paris and it was cold it was starting to rain. And then I heard a piercing scream and I rushed to the scene of the crime but all I found was the butchered remains of two girls lay side by side. Murders in the Rue Morgue someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue run before the killers go free There's some people coming down the street at last there's someone heard my call I can't understand why they're pointing at me I never done nothing at all. But I must have got some blood on my hands because everyone's shouting at me I can't speak French so I couldn't explain and like a fool I started running away. Murders in the Rue Morgue someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue am I ever gonna be free. And now I've gotta get away from the arms of the law. All France is looking for me. I've gotta find my way across the border for sure down the south to Italy. Murders in the Rue Morgue someone call the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never going home. Well I made it to the border at last But I can't erase the scene from my mind Anytime somebody stares at me, well I just start running blind Well I'm moving through the shadows at night Away from the staring eyes Any day they'll be looking for me 'Cause I know I show the signs of... Murders in the Rue Morgue running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue running from the arms of the law Murders in the Rue Morgue running from the Gendarmes Murders in the Rue Morgue am I ever gonna be free It took so long and I'm getting so tired I'm running out of places to hide Should I return to the scene of the crime Where the two young victims died If I could go to somebody for help It'd get me out of trouble for sure But I know that it's on my mind That my doctor said I've done it before. Murders in the Rue Morgue they're never gonna find me Murders in the Rue Morgue I'm never going home. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 4) Another Life (Harris) 3:22 As I lay here lying on my bed, sweet voices come into my head. Oh what it is, I wanna know, please won't you tell me it's got to go. There's a feeling that's inside me, telling me to get away. But I'm so tired of living, I might as well end today. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 5) Genghis Khan (Harris) 3:02 Instrumental ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 6) Innocent Exile (Harris) 3:50 My life is so empty, nothing to live for. My mind is all confusion, 'cos I defied the law. When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran. I never had no trouble before this all began. My life is so empty, nothing to live for. My mind is all confusion, 'cos I defied the law. When you weren't there to help me, I lost my mind and ran. I never had no trouble before this all began. I'm running away, no where to go. I'm lost and tired and I just don't know. Yeah... They say I killed a woman, they know it isn't true. They're just trying to frame me, and all because of you. Yeah... ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 7) Killers (Di'Anno, Harris) 4:58 You walk through the subway, his eyes burn a hole in your back, A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack. Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed, Killer behind you, his blood lust defies all his needs. My innocent victims are slaughtered with wrath and despise, The mocking religion of hatred that burns in the night. I have no one, I'm bound to destroy all this greed, A voice inside me compelling to satisfy me. I can see what a knife's meant to be, And you'll never know how I came to forsee, see, see. My faith in believing is stronger than lifelines and ties, With the glimmer of metal my moment is ready to strike. Death call arises, a scream breaks the still of the night, Another tomorrow, remember to walk in the light! I have found you, and now there is no place to run, Excitement shakes me, oh God help me what have I done?! Oooh yeah, I've done it! YEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHH! You walk through the subway, my eyes burn a hole in your back, A footstep behind you, he lunges prepared for attack. Scream for mercy, he laughs as he's watching you bleed, Killer behind you, my blood lust defies all my needs. Oooh look out, I'm coming for you! Ahahahaha! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8) Prodigal Son (Harris) 6:05 Listen to me Lamia, listen to what I've got to say. I've got these feelings, and they won't go away. I've got these fears inside that'll bring me to my knees. Oh help me Lamia or I'm sure I'll die, oh please. I feel unsettled, now I know that I've done wrong. I've messed around with mystic things and magic for too long. I feel I'm being paid with this nightmare inside me, The devil's got a hold on my soul and he just won't let me be. I'm on my knees, oh help me please. I'm on my knees, help me please. Oh Lamia please try to help me. The devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be. Lamia I've got this curse, I'm turning to bad. The devil's got a hold of my soul, and it's driving me mad. Oh Oh Lamia please try to help me. The devil's got a hold of my soul and he won't let me be. Lamia I've got this curse, I'm turning to bad. The devil's got a hold of my soul, and it's driving me mad. Oh ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 9) Purgatory (Harris) 3:18 Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen, Fantasies lived times before. I split my brain, melt through the floor. Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why. My body tries to leave my soul. Or is it me, I just don't know. Mem'ries rising from the past, the future's shaddow overcast. Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led. Oh another time, another place. Oh another smile on another face. When you see me floating up beside you, You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you. Please take me away, take me away, so far away. Please take me away, take me away, so far away. Please take me away, take me away, so far away. Thinking of an age old dream, places I have never seen, Fantasies lived times before. I split my brain, melt through the floor. Over clouds my mind will fly, forever now I can't think why. My body tries to leave my soul. Or is it me, I just don't know. Mem'ries rising from the past, the future's shaddow overcast. Something's clutching at my head, through the darkness I'll be led. Oh another time, another place. Oh another smile on another face. When you see me walking up beside you, You get the feeling that all my love's inside of you. Please take me away, take me away, so far away. Please take me away, take me away, so far away. Please take me away, take me away, so far away. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10) Drifter (Harris) 4:47 Walk away! Look out now, baby won't you take me away, Sittin' here its gonna be a new day. Gotta sing my song and I can't go wrong, Gotta keep on roaming, gotta sing my song.

Anywhere got to get you away, feels so good think it's gonna be a new day. I'm gonna get my song till I can't go on, I'm gonna keep on roaming gonna sing my song.
