The Leader Trilogy - Chris de Burgh

The Leader, The Vision, What About Me by Chris de Burgh

[@Crusader38]

The best song ever!! This song has haunted me since 1986.

[@transmissionends64]

Amazing song and video. Who would believe this song was on the same album as Lady In Red. Chris de Burgh rarely gets the praise he deserves. He truly is a brilliant storyteller.

[@alexanderschestag3247]

Yes, he is. But Steve deserves praisal as well for this video.

[@kerry9360]

It’s an amazing song and still stands the test of time!

[@lextucky]

Chris de Burgh is a genius & this song has impacted me throughout my life (living through 3 wars)...it's chilling & heartbreaking

[@rubro1cr.80]

The only one Friend in my Soul...

[@k13739]

One of the best songs ever! Music and lyrics. Thank you.

[@Auskaa]

Love this trilogy in miami vice. "Everybodys in showbiz"episode, the music fits so well into the scenes. Great song.

[@alexanderschestag3247]

Steve, your video to this song is your masterpiece! It makes me cry everytime I see it!

[@hadders81]

This is Chris de burghs best song as well as say goodbye it all & spirit of man.. Pity he didn't sing this or spirit of man at his gig last night. Good show!!

You feel it in your soul

i love this trilogy, i love this song

[@joananrutgers9684]

Dit lied blijft me boeien en in contact doen treden met de beloofde terugkomst van de verrezen Christus Jezus, wat allang gaande is via de ingedaalde Christusgeest bij een groot deel van Zijn volgelingen. Dat ieder van ons een Christus kan zijn, is daarmee gevestigd. Het Christuslicht is allang te inhaleren en uit te stralen!...

Mijn (gelovige) vader verwijderde deze CD uit zijn collectie naar aanleiding van de tekst van deze nummers. Hij kon de ruiter op het vale paard als 'leider' niet rijmen met zijn persoonlijke geloof.

[@TSOfan1231]

I've always loved this trilogy of songs from this great storyteller, but I've never seen it expressed as powerfully as in this video. Well done!!

[@ludo281160]

Probably the nicest song....Thank you for this trilogy

[@TRON8882]

Great music. Thank you. I can envision the whole album as a WWII movie love story.

[@56bobbo]

Fantastic video for a fantastic set of songs!

[@ImperialUprising]

I love this song. I was looking for it for about a year or two. THANK YOU

[@SailorMoonforver]

[@NewWaveFan1]

Remember this song from the ending of Miami Vice S 3 ep 23 with Mikey.

[@TheTwoBeats]

This is so damn great! Many thx for sharing this, this is probably one of the most important song of my childhood ...

Chris de Burgh - The Leader Trilogy Lyrics "The Leader" I looked to the North, and I turned to the West, For a sign, a light in the sky, Oh the message is clear, that the time is near, For a leader to come again; A circle of stones on the head of a hill, Tonight is where it will be, In this desolate place, we all stand and wait, For a leader to come again, yes a leader will come again; For it is written, that a leader will be here, And then a vision, left me blinded by the light, And it started right in front of my eyes... "The Vision" And I saw a burning chariot, And the four horsemen of the apocalypse, Waiting on high, And I heard the thunder rolling in, And behold our leader on a pale horse riding in the sky; And I saw this land a battlefield, With a hundred thousand men, Fighting hand to hand, And I heard the sounds of victory, And the rivers ran red with the blood of our enemies; And I, I saw fire from the sky, I saw fire, and I saw paradise, (paradise), Fire from the sun, I saw fire, And I saw Alpha and Omega; Fire, I saw fire, And I saw paradise, (paradise), Fire, I saw fire. "What About Me?" I am left in the night, trembling with fear, I have seen to the future, and the future is here, Our leader will bring victory, but our land is in flames, And as the final sounds of battle disappear, I had to say - What about me, and you, and the ones that we love, What about me, and you, and the ones that we love, Well what about us? Artist: Chris de Burgh Album: Into the Light Released: 1986

[@Jeviland]

Beautiful!

[@christinehoare9506]

This is an insight to what's before us,unless we all repent & pray to our Lord Jesus Christ & our lady for forgiveness of our sins.

[@SailorMoonforver]

amazing. i love this song

[@dejeaux11]

Always loved these three songs, they showcase Mr. De Burgh's voice perfectly. Wish I knew what he was saying in the backmasking.

[@b4uaskimagod]

EXCELLENT SONG, thanks for putting it up.

[@100mysli]

Many has passed years , thx u:)

[@raybuzzray]

how sad that we are back there for people who where there then it is a hard pill to swollow i am 60 i saw a lot

[@ludo281160]

What an exit of *Into the Light* back in 1986 from Chris...This is really a master piece. At first I had to refer to the ending of Abbey Road (from the Beatles)...Very special and quite a good video. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@Grenthier]

Man,what a song*****

[@theresa450]

[@ladymoonlight38]

reminds me of the beginning to a floyd song. crazy diamond. what a tune.

[@michaelhalliday5935]

The times say it.

[@Teigokane]

It was unbelievable to listen to this at the Bielefeld concert 2007 one day before the Hiroshima anniversary

[@nisu7007]

great

[@transmissionends64]

Sure am!!

[@leighmaynard3675]

The whole trilogy, at to me, seems to perfectly sum up the latter half of the book of Revelations from the Bible.

[@christophetrevey8953]

miami vice 1986 ???????

[@bentridico7442]

Yes, this song reminds me of when Mikey pulled his last fast one on Crockett and Tubbs... he lived to see another day. Excellent episode (Everybody's in Showbiz)
