to the tune of Wicker Man

Hand is swiftly moving up the neck of your guitar
It knocks us to our feet to hear your solos from afar
Your songs are awesome 'cause you've got something to say
With Paschendale or Journeyman you're calling us your way

Feels like the world's exploding every single night
You play your melodies and riffs in the spotlight
We don't care for gravity and we don't care for death
While rocking with our Adrian we live for every breath

Showtime has come
Showtime has come
Showtime has come

Carry on for the fun and you ain't gonna miss a beat
You can raise the tension as you're building up the heat
No song you have worked upon will ever be the same
Every new tune has its own spark, sets the universe aflame

Feels like the world's exploding every single night
You play your melodies and riffs in the spotlight
Fans around the world are joining hands and make a chain
The spotlight on our Adrian is rising up again

Showtime has come
Showtime has come
Showtime has come
