Rock and roll is not a toy, oh no it's not a toy.

Rock and roll is not a toy,

There's so much more behind the music you enjoy.

Rock and roll is not a toy, oh no it's not a toy.

Rock and roll is not a toy,

If misemployed it has the power to destroy!

Rock and roll, oh-ee-oh-ee-oh-oh

No! Yeah! No! Yeah!

Rock and roll is not a toy,

It wasn't really Greeks that caused the fall of Troy!

Revenge

Download Song

From "Hrafnkel's Saga: The Rock Opera"

Sam :

Am I the pawn of circumstance

That Hrafnkel can kill my brother

I should have slit his throat when I had the chance

But I may never have another.

But what have I learned

It's not enough,

This revenge is tricky stuff

Servant:

Sam Wake up!

Sam:

Servant:

Wake up, there's horses outside the gate!

Sam:

Horses What do you mean

Servant:

Oh my god, they're busting down the door!

Sam:

Oh, no! It can't be...

Hrafnkel:

Hiya boys!

Sam:

Hrafnkel!

Hrafnkel:

Come here, punk! Yeah!

Sam, I believe you had this coming

So don't complain or say you don't deserve this fate

I found your actions unbecoming

That day six years ago you siezed my home and estate

I swore that someday I would get you

And you would live to see my men reclaim my home land

Still you will not live unless I let you

And all the pain you'll feel is rendered by your own hand.

Sam: Thokel Thorgeir

Thorkel: Sorry, Sammy. This is your own fault. And besides, you're too far away. Leave us out of this and take your punishment like a man.

Reginald Needs a Friend

Download Song

From "Chicken"

Reginald's really bringing us down

I wish he'd quit hanging around

He doesn't take a hint

Can't he sit with someone else

I mean, really,

Do we have to come right out and say it

We try to brush him off

But he's oblivious 'til the end.

You'd think that Reginald needs a friend.

Reginald's getting hard to avoid

Won't leave when I'm plainly annoyed

He always tags along

Can't he hang on someone else

I mean, really,

Do we have to come right out and say it

He's really got some nerve

To go on making us all pretend

We care if Reginald needs a friend.

Red Sea Pedestrians

Pack your bags, get ready to leave,

The time has come at last.

Pharoah decreed we are free,

So you better move your ass.

Slave 1:

Harn I still have things to get!

Harn:

You think that I don't know

Slave 2:

But my bread's not leavened yet

Harn:

Who cares We've got to go.

Don't think about the life that we are leaving from.

Have faith, we will survive, and soon we will become...

Red Sea pedestrians, fleeing through the brine.

I must confess we underestimated Pharoah's mind.

Red Sea pedestrians, fleeing through the brine.

Egypt's equestrians are not so far behind.

Got to make it to the Promised Land on time.

Moses stands upon the rock and raises up his staff.

Thunder rolls, the sky turns red, the sea is split in half.

And now we are...

Red Sea pedestrians, fleeing through the brine.

I must confess we underestimated Pharoah's mind.

Red Sea pedestrians, fleeing through the brine.

Egypt's equestrians are not so far behind.

Got to make it to the Promised Land on time.

Got to make it to the Promised Land on...

Water really really stinks to stand on...

Got to make it to the Promised Land on time!
