You're in for surprise
You're in for a shock In London town streets When there's darkness and fog When you least expect me And you turn your back I'll attack I smile when I'm sneaking Through shadows by the wall I laugh when I'm creeping But you won't hear me at all All hear my warning Never turn your back On the ripper You'll soon shake with fear Never knowing if I'm near I'm sly and I'm shameless Nocturnal and nameless Except for "The Ripper" Or if you like "Jack The Knife" Any back alley street Is where we'll probably meet Underneath a gas lamp Where the air's cold and damp I'm a nasty surprise I'm a devil in disguise I'm a footstep at night I'm a scream of the fright All hear my warning Never turn your back On the ripper...the ripper....the ripper |

He had enough
He couldn't take anymore He'd found a place In his mind and slammed the door No matter how they tried They couldn't understand They washed and dressed him Fed him by hand Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not you Withdrawn he'd sit there Stare blank into space No sign of life Would flicker on his face Until one day he smiled It seemed as though with pride The wind kissed him Goodbye - and then he died Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not you Keep the world with all its sin It's not fit for livin' in Yeah! I will start again It can take forever, and ever, and ever And ever, but I'll still win. How many like him, Are there still But to us, all Seem to have lost the will They lie in thousands Plagued and lost Is nothing worth this bitter cost Yeah! I've left the world behind I'm safe here in my mind Free to speak with my own kind This is my life, this is my life I'll decide not youKeep the world with all its sin It's not fit for livin' in Beyond the realms of death. |

Along deserted avenues
Steam begins to rise The figures primed and ready Prepared for quick surprise He's watchin' for a sign His life is on the line Dogs whine in the alleys Smoke is on the wind From deep inside its empty shell A cathedral bell begins to toll A storm begins to grow Amidst the upturned burned-out cars The challengers await And in their fists clutch iron bars With which to seal his fate Across his chest is scabbards rest The rows of throwing knives Whose razor points in challenged tests Have finished many lives Now facing one another The stand-off eats at time Then all at once a silence falls As the bell ceases its chime Upon this sign the challengers With shrieks and cries rush forth The knives fly out like bullets Upon their deadly course Screams of pain and agony Rent the silent air Amidst the dying bodies Blood runs everywhere The figure stands expressionless Impassive and alone Unmoved by this victory And the seeds of death he's sown Sworn to avenge Condemn to Hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel |

When you feel safe
When you feel warm That's when I rise That's when I crawl Gliding on mist Hardly a sound Bring the kiss Evils abound In the dead of night Love bites Love bites In the dead of night Love bites Into your room Where in deep sleep There you lie still To you I creep Then I descend Close to your lips Across you I bend You smile as I sip Now you are mine In my control One taste of your life And I own your soul Softly you stir Gently you moan Lust's in the air Wake as I groan In the dead of night Love bites Love bites In the dead of night Love bites Love bites you Invites you To feast in the night Excites you Delights you It drains you to white Love bites You knew at first sight You'd enjoy my attack That with my first bite There'd be no turning back So come in my arms I strike any hour I will return To trap and devour In the dead of night Love bites |

Racing' cross the heavens
Straight into the dawn Looking like a comet Slicing through the morn Scorching the horizon Blazing to the land Now he's here amongst us The age of fire's at hand Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Salvation bids to ask Everything he touches Fries into a crisp, Let him get close to you So you're in his trip, First you'll smoke and smoulder Blister up and singe When ignition hits you the very soul of your being will cringe. Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Here he comes now Fall to your knees and repent if you please Who is this man? Where is he from? Exciter comes For everyone. You'll never see him But you will taste the fire upon your tongue He's come to make you snap out Of the state that you are in Looks around and make you See the light again So much self-indulgence Results in shattered eyes Predominant complacency Leads to beguiling lies. Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Salvation bids to ask When he leaps amidst us With combustive dance All shall bear the branding Of his thermal lance, Cauterising masses Melting into one Only when there's order Will his job be done. Stand by for Exciter Salvation is his task Stand by for Exciter Here he comes now Fall to your knees and repent if you please Who is this man? Where is he from? Exciter comes For everyone You'll never see him But you will taste the fire upon your tongue Racing past the heavens Straight into the dawn Looking like a comet Slicing through the morn Scorching the horizon Blazing to the land Now he's here amongst us The age of fire's at hand Stand by for Exciter Stand by for Exciter Stand by for Exciter Stand by for Exciter |

I know what I am, I'm Berlin Exploding, reloading, this quest never ending Until I give out my last breath I'm stabbing and bawling, I'm punching and crawling Hooks to my brain are well in I'm stabbing and bawling, I'm punching and crawling I know what I am, I'm Berlin |

Never straight and narrow
I won't keep in time Tend to burn the arrow Out of the line Been inclined to wander Off the beaten track That's where there's thunder And the wind shouts back Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat Got no use for routine I shiver at the thought Open skies are my scene That's why I won't get caught Refuse to bite the mantrap Be led to set the snare I love to have my sight Capped everywhere Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat I've held my licence It came with birth, For self reliance on this earth You take the bullet On which my name Was etched upon in your game Day of independence Stamped us like a brand Round the necks of millions To the land As the mighty eagle I need room to breathe Witness from the treadmill I take my leave Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat Grinder Looking for meat Grinder Wants you to eat Grinder |

Standing by my window, breathing summer breeze
Saw a figure floating, 'neath the willow tree Asked us if we were happy, we said we didn't know Took us by the hands and up we go We followed the dreamer through the purple hazy clouds He could control our sense of time We thought we were lost but no matter how we tried Everyone was in peace of mind We felt the sensations drift inside our frames Finding complete contentment there And all the tensions that hurt us in the past Just seemed to vanish in thin air He said in the cosmos is a single sonic sound That is vibrating constantly And if we could grip and hold on to the note We would see our minds were free...oh they're free We are lost above Floating way up high If you think you can find a way You can surely try |

I've been trying
There's no denying It's sending me Out of my mind I've seen reason Change to treason It's losing it's sense Of all kind How much longer will it take For the world to see We should learn to live And simply let it be Bloodstone, bloodstone In the night time Wake in fright I'm so scared of the game That's being played Start to wonder What's going under And how many deals Have been made How much longer will it take For the world to see We should learn to live And simply let it be Bloodstone, bloodstone Bloodstone I can't take it You got me living On a bloodstone I don't want that that bloodstone |

Hey listen don't yhou let 'em get your mind
Fill your brain with orders and that's not right They're playing at a game that draws you closer Till you're living in a world that's ruled by fear Always takin' baby out that's o.k. What they're givin' maybe it's out of phase with me Told you once you're never gonna win the race Same old no tomorrow kicked in the face We are screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace Tie a blindfold all around your head Spin you round in the torture before the dread And then you're pushed and shoved into every corner Then they lead you out into the final slaughter As the sweat is running down your neck All your praying for's to stop you body breakin' up Oh your heart is pumping gonna soon explode Got to fight the horror of this mental load We are screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace So you wait it out and bide your time Rip off that straight jacket gotta break that line Everyone who wins in the great escape Leaves a thousand more who suffer in their wake I don't talk about it but that's alright Table's turned now there's a revenge in sight If it takes forever babe I tell ya I can wait Send them screaming back through their hell's own gate We are screaming for vengeance The world is a manacled place Screaming, screaming for vengeance The world is defiled in disgrace |

In the last rays of the setting sun
And the past days, that's where our memories run And all of those times Still race through my mind I'm shattered inside to find When the night comes down And I'm here all alone When the night comes down And there's no place to go Call me and I'll wait till the summer You never understood Call me and I'll wait forever For a love that's only good As the light starts to dim The fear closes in And the nightmares begin Oh no you won't be there tomorrow Oh no say it isn't true Can't take this pain and sorrow Oh can't you see my heart is broken in two |
