JimSim Why do I love this album? Because it's NWOBHM band Crisis! This is pure metal folks! Back when bands played their heart out without all of this electronic shit. Listen. Learn. Enjoy! Favorite track: Battlefield (Friday Rock Show).

Battlefield Through the mist and gun smoke a tank moves left to right driven by a faceless man it fires into the night through the drifting mist of time millions march the land chanting songs of victory tattered banners high Down fall the lines of men bombs and bullets kill again voices scream with grief and pain on battlefield stake your claim Far away behind the lines the general plans attack battlefield military precision now direct death from afar hero runs to save his friend shell burst makes him dive blood filled craters all around take the urge to fight The battlefield is silent now bodies everywhere nothing remains of the hero but a cross on a mass grave through the drifting mist of time spectres march the land chanting songs of misery voice in no mans land

Spirits Of The Night Downtown the darkness falls the gangs are standing wall to wall someones out of reach tonight he’s gotta run or he’s gotta fight Spirits of the night The gang gathers round the chosen one he moves quick but there’s no where to run blade flashes in the neon light blood spattered sidewalk shining bright Another victim of the night cries another one who’s lost his life one more figure down away wild guns wait for another day

Suicide Living fast on rock’n’roll shakes your mind burns your soul can take away your will to live unless you give it all you've got to give Suicide tearing at your heart suicide burning through you Running hard you play to win devils music fights within telling you suicide cannot run cannot hide Getting scared put down the knife a voice tells you to take your life cant ignore the scream inside calling out suicide!

Casablanca Camel train cargo heading out west caravan of fortune on the trail to Marrakech sultan of the desert looks at his shrinking land countless tribes of nomads invade his precious sand The sands of time shift slowly in the warm wind of scirocco the magic and the mystery remains still in Morocco Camel train cargo heading out east Sahara sunset the massive golden beast dune and dust storm slow the tired tribe but Casablanca calls them ever onward into the night Early morning Casbah in full Moroccan swing African and Spaniard in hectic bargaining dry and dusty argument with tempers getting frayed no one cares or notices the steel of the blade Ill equipped safaris attempt the dry terrain but timeless trail across the void has conquered once again men come and go many try most do or die and ship of the desert grins and winks knowing eye

Warriors of Arthur In the dim and distant past an ancient pact of security was agreed throughout the land by the king and country warriors of Arthur ready to fight as one unflinching faith and readiness in centuries to come Warriors of Arthur the day is long the time is now let the battle commence In the chambers of Merlin under granite out of sight the warriors of Arthur make ready for the fight an ancient pact at Camelot brought out and read aloud the day is long the time is now to shake off that darkened shroud Tyrant falls on stony ground war clashes without a sound legends of our history stories of our destiny fact or fiction truth or lie answers in the skies

The Silent Roar Heroes come and never go magician wants to steal the show apostles mouth the silent roar anticipating the matador one voice one shout the choir chats the same old song and high above the crowd he sings as dead on time the show begins Soul of a gypsy heart of a hunter feet of a dancer spinning you round face of an angel head full of stardust you've got the eye of a dreamer they cant hold you down A misty place on a starry night the stage is set for him tonight magician falls to his knees disciples wake and kiss the breeze bright lights red and green he’s the stranger they've never seen he’s only there to blow their minds the tragic lonely simple kind Swinging wand of chrome and wood to satisfy his hungry brood blue and yellow spot him now ten hundred pupils far below let him thrill you while he can a lonely simple tragic man and high above so far away he turns and walks the way he came

Eyes in the night The wolf he stalks his prey by night enraged by the lunar light you won't be safe he’s on your track turn around and watch your back Eyes in the night Eyes in the night Eyes in the night Eyes you see them in the night On your knees get down and pray he’ll probably get you anyway cold steel in his eyes there’s something that you cant disguise Running hard you fight for breath one step ahead of death stop a car jump inside head turns to you and cries

Chaser 06:04
Chaser How you love to contradict me nurture hate conflict within me tear me down and break the rules then laugh and leave a broken fool time and again I can’t resist your wicked juice and evil mist Liquid loser A hundred thousand thoughts invade not leaving till the price is paid infiltrating and misleading my self respect lies smashed and bleeding blinding rage yet calm within then you commit the final sin While others laugh you tempt me still pretend I'm climbing up the hill while all he while i’m falling down and dancing on your sacred ground

Hungry Oceans Living on hungry oceans taming wind and wild sea watching out on all horizons evil in their eyes the mist had come down around us Galleon blazing from each gun port jolly roger flying high cannon hot from dealing death as screams of pain now fill the sky broadside shakes the humble vessel cannon fire tears out its heart grappling hooks pull deck to deck as hand to hand the combat starts On hungry oceans on hungry oceans Cutlass scorching through flesh of trader shocked and unprepared captain cries out and surrenders those alive are fighting scared gold encrusted jewelled handles treasure chest of wealth untold grappling hooks pull deck to deck hoist the flag break down the holds The captain turns and leaves his ship the battle now he has lost mighty were the men who fought mighty too was the cost suddenly he pulls a knife and all his men call out a plea

Can I Be The Hero Life on the streets is so very bitter can you feel the desperation i am the child of a happy home whats the chance of getting through to you Can I be the hero A situation that’s foreign to me Can I be the hero Pressing for change is a difficult business Trying to force the folks to change their minds Give me a chance and I’ll show you my colours I hope they’ll be a colour that matches yours Why should the people know any better Do they know the dangers that they face Give me the power to change direction I’ll lead you to a better way of life

No One Screams Back to back facing out No one move one shout If they can hear you We can hear you Don’t let anybody out Third world victims breath your last put your hunger in the past Say farewell to all your cares Forget your problems say your prayers Say goodbye to the human race we don’t need you we need the space Upside down, looking round we can’t see what we have found Nothing sacred burning hatred Scattered ashes on the breeze Looking round what we’ve found We can see all around If they find you they will kill you Raze your village to the ground

Souvenirs They’re coming home Could be tomorrow Some won’t return Cry grieve and sorrow News, comin’ across the radio Your son aint comin’ home Be brave son and fight the war Be brave son bring a souvenir Be brave son and fight the war Be brave son bring a souvenir They’re not comin’ home No more tomorrows They died alone More were to follow News came across the telephone Your son aint comin’ home You were brave son x 4 repeat verse 1

about

Crisis Macclesfield, UK

Originally formed in 1980 and toured UK up until splitting in 1990. Reformed in 2012 to write new material and perform a mix of old and new songs. "Russ Meehan’s characteristic tone establishes the band’s sound that isn’t guitar driven, but still has some fine riffs and solos here and there and it’s totally full of energy and tense"
