Probably their best one. Bob's vocals are on point. Love Tony's solo at the end and Mickey Barker's drum roll outs. Of course Tony Clarkin is also probably the most underrated rock/metal songwriter in history. RIP brother.
Es ist schade, das so einem Album und den Songs, ähnlich wie bei "Broken Wheel" nichts gegeben wird, meiner Seele durfte damals bluten, danke Magnum...
They were just theives and robbers, You were a stepping stone. Look how the innocent suffer, Raging like a storm in your soul. One thing they forgot to mention: Making peace was their last intention. There was a time you trusted, You were too proud to beg. Now you just feel disgusted With everything you've done and said. There really wasn't time to cry, Or even kiss the children goodbye. Chorus You got swept by the Flood You got talked out of dreams. There was a price on your blood, Couldn't wash yourself clean. It wasn't really worth a whole lot, Looking back on what you got. Like words in the mud, Tears in the stream. No more dreams. All that you ever wanted, All that you'd seen and heard, Never got really started Like a river never turned. They didn't give a reason why, Never even bothered to try. [Chorus:] Killers without a conscience, Only the good lie dead. Great father who trades in nonsense, Picture this inside your head: The magic of the talking wires Carried both the truth and the lies
Rest in Peace, Magnum's songwriter and guitarist Tony Clarkin (1946-2024)
I am incredibly saddened by Tony's death😢
My favourite track from my favourite Magnum LP. Saw them play this live last night and it made my night.
The most underrated band ever!
Sublime! The drum fills in this track are exquisite.

Pure masterclass. Top 5 Magnum song in my book.
Nice drum track from Micky
thanks...been a fan for years...saw 'em live in 1982 "Chase the Dragon' love 'the spirit' and ''Sacred Hour'
One of my all time fave's!!! :-) Great!!!
This song totally rules, i love the drumming in it.
Amazing drums and songwriting
Why do this and some other albums missing at spotify?
My drum teacher showed me this song and he even made me play it. I'm proud to say I am able to play this song on drums all the way through at 14 years

Großartiger Song/Album leider nicht auf Apple Music verfügbar
Magnum forever
They were just theives and robbers,
You were a stepping stone.
Look how the innocent suffer,
Raging like a storm in your soul.
One thing they forgot to mention:
Making peace was their last intention.
There was a time you trusted,
You were too proud to beg.
Now you just feel disgusted
With everything you've done and said.
There really wasn't time to cry,
Or even kiss the children goodbye.
Chorus
You got swept by the Flood
You got talked out of dreams.
There was a price on your blood,
Couldn't wash yourself clean.
It wasn't really worth a whole lot,
Looking back on what you got.
Like words in the mud,
Tears in the stream.
No more dreams.
All that you ever wanted,
All that you'd seen and heard,
Never got really started
Like a river never turned.
They didn't give a reason why,
Never even bothered to try.
[Chorus:]
Killers without a conscience,
Only the good lie dead.
Great father who trades in nonsense,
Picture this inside your head:
The magic of the talking wires
Carried both the truth and the lies
