Wild frontier (Gary Moore)

WILD FRONTIER (Gary Moore)

I remember the old country
they call the emerald land.
And I remember my hometown
before the war began.

Now we’re riding on a sea of rage,
the victims you have seen.
You’ll never hear them sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green.

We’re goin’ back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier, it’s calling.
Back to the wild frontier.
We’re goin’ back,
back to the wild frontier.

I remember my city streets
before the soldiers came.
Now armoured cars and barricades
remind us of our shame.

We are drowning in a sea of blood,
the victims you have seen.
Never more to sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green.

We’re goin’ back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier, it’s calling.
Back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier, it’s calling.

Those are the days I will remember.
Those are the days I most recall.
We count the cost of those we lost
and pray it’s not in vain.
The bitter tears of all those years.
I hope we live to see those days again.

Now we’re riding on a sea of rage,
the victims you have seen.
You’ll never hear us sing again
The Forty Shades Of Green.

And I remember a friend of mine,
so sad now that he’s gone.
They tell me I’ll forget
as time goes on.

We’re goin’ back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier, it’s calling.
Back to the wild frontier.
We’re goin’ back.
Back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier.
Back to the wild frontier.

Those forty shades of green are calling me back home.

Ooh, we’re goin’ back.
Back to the wild frontier.
I’m goin’ back.
Back to the wild frontier.

Thunder rising (Gary Moore)

THUNDER RISING (Gary Moore/Neil Carter)

They looked out from the fortress on the hill.
There came a single warrior returning from the kill.
The spoils of war hung from his horses mane.
The bloody heads of enemies that he had freshly slayed.

They saw the face, the eyes so sullen,
could only be the young Cúchulain.

Thunder rising.
Thunder rising.
Thunder rising early in the morning.
Cities burning,
the world keeps turning.
Thunder rising early in the morning.

The son of Lugh MacEithleen knew no fear.
For just one blow at any foe to tell his end was near.
So many tried to mock this Celtic son.
They taunted and they teased him till
he slayed them one by one.

And so they came, and so they’ve fallen
at the hands of young Cúchulain.

Thunder rising.
Thunder rising.
Thunder rising early in the morning.
Cities burning,
the world keeps turning.
Thunder rising early in the morning.

Long ago the legend has it,
how the mighty Ulster men
battled with the King Of Connacht,
fighting to the bitter end.
No one knew what foolish reason
caused this skirmish to begin.
Was it treachery or treason,
or just the idle threats of drunken men?

Thunder rising.
Thunder rising.
Thunder rising early in the morning.
Cities burning,
the world keeps turning.
Thunder rising early in the morning.

Thunder rising.
Thunder rising.
Thunder rising early in the morning.
Young men are dying.
The widows are crying.
Thunder rising early in the morning.

Johnny boy (Gary Moore)

JOHNNY BOY (Gary Moore)

When I hear that wind blow,
all across the Wicklow mountains.
Is it you, I hear a calling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.

When I look to the west,
all across the River Shannon.
I can still see you smiling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.

When the leaves have turned to brown
and winter’s due.
As I watch the sun goes down,
I’ll think of you.

When I hear that wind blow,
all across the Wicklow mountains.
Sure it’s you, I’ll hear a calling.
Johnny boy, oh Johnny boy.

Crying in the shadows (Gary Moore)

CRYING IN THE SHADOWS (Gary Moore)

Sometimes he sees her walking by.
He never looks her in the eye.
She doesn’t know, she doesn’t care,
what he is feeling.

And as she turns to walk away,
there is nothing he can say.
She doesn’t know.
Why should she care?
When he’s alone, she’s never there,
to see him

Crying in the shadows
of a love he used to know,
but now it’s all over.
Crying in the shadows
of someone he called his own,
but now he’s all alone again.

Sometimes she sees him walking by.
She never looks him in the eye.
He doesn’t know, he doesn’t care,
what she is feeling.

As he turns to walk away,
there is nothing she can say.
He doesn’t know.
Why should he care?
When she’s alone, he’s never there.
He leaves her

Crying in the shadows
of a love she used to know,
but now it’s all over.
Crying in the shadows
of someone she called her own,
but now she’s all alone again.

Well, he can see it in her eyes.
And she can fell it in her heart.
Yes, they can feel it in their hearts.
It’s tearing them apart.
Over and over again.

Crying in the shadows
of a love he used to know,
but now it’s all over.
Crying in the shadows
of someone she called her own,
but now she’s all alone.

Crying in the shadows
of a love they used to know,
but now it’s all over.
Crying in the shadows
of a love they used to know,
but now they’re all alone again.

Crying in the shadows.
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows.
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows.
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows.
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows.
Crying in the shadows, of love.

Crying in the shadows.
Crying in the shadows, of love.

There's a hole (Gary Moore)

THERE’S A HOLE (Gary Moore)

What is it that you want?
What is it that you need?
Are you gonna take everything?
Do you wanna see me bleed?

What is it that you’re looking for?
Do you always have to take some more?
Until there’s nothing left to feel,
nothing left of you and me.

There’s a hole where we used to be.
Everything’s so empty now without you and me.
There’s a time that we never had.
Everything’s so empty now and it feels so sad.

What is it that you never see?
What are you tryin’ to do to me?
Or is it that you just don’t care
that I’m in misery?

You gotta set the record straight
before it starts to get too late.
I’m beggin’ on my bended knees,
won’t you hear me please?

There’s a hole where we used to be.
Everything’s so empty now without you and me.
There’s a time that we never had.
Everything’s so empty now and it feels so sad.

Does it really have to be this way?
Do you ever hear a word I say?

There’s a hole where we used to be.
Everything’s so empty now without you and me.
There’s a time that we never had.
Everything’s so empty now and it feels so,
and it feels so sad.

There’s a hole, there’s a hole,
there’s a hole where we used to,
where we used to, where we used to be.
