Welcome to sun down
welcome to the dark
Could it be that evil has heroes
Bring everybody down Celebration
Passing of the light
Giving up your spirit
to the night
You’ll turn to stone
Turn to stone
Just for ever
You’ll turn to stone
Turn to stone
Here comes a fire
We’ll burn it to the ground
Inside the page lies the power
We’ve turned it all around
Celebration Words have control
To take away your heart
and then your soul
You’ll turn to stone
Turn to stone
Just for ever
You’ll turn to stone
Turn to stone
<Interlude>
Oh pray for a miracle
But the wishes in the well
have all gone dry
There’s no way for a miracle
It’s not the way you live
it’s how you’ll die
<Interlude>
Welcome to sun down
Welcome to the dark
Could it be that the evil
has heroes
We’ve turned it all around
Celebration Words have control
To take away your heart
and then your soul
You’ll turn to stone
Turn to stone
Just for ever
You’ll turn to stone
<Interlude>
You’ll turn to stone
Turn to stone
<Interlude>
Concerning the inhabitants
of Otherworld
There are many similarities
to be found
parallel to our own society
The individual must be absorbed
The collective must be as one
cked down
and they put you first in line
And so you finally ask yourself
just how big you are
and take your place in a wiser
world of bigger motor cars
<Intelrude>
So Where the hell was Biggles
when you needed him
last Saturday
And where were all the sportsmen
who always pulled you though
They’re all resting down
in Cornwall
writing up their memoirs
for a paper-back edition
of the Boy Scout Manual
See there!  A man born
