일렉트릭 기타의 살아있는 전설로 추앙받는 잉베이 맘스틴의 2005년 작품으로 역시나 그의 활화산과도 같은 스윕피킹과 스케일은 언제 들어도 감동적이다. 더욱 세밀해지고 규칙적인 솔로라인은 다양한 패턴과 맞물려 오히려 더 공격적 성향을 드러내보이고 있으며 보컬리스트 더기 화이트의 거친 허스키 보컬 역시 스트레이트한 사운드에 적절하게 녹아든다.
You've always shared the light. Although you could clearly see the sacrifice. Preaching wrong from right. Prosecution was the story of your life.
The blood money paid. A kiss betrayed.
To be crucified. And for thirty silver pieces. For our sins he died. To wear the crown of thorns. It was his destiny.
And now the curtain is drawn. And I can see the moment of some kind of truth. They nailed you to the cross. Although you walked the righteous path since your birth.
The blood money paid. A kiss betrayed. In this final hour.
To be crucified. And for thirty silver pieces. For our sins he died. To wear the crown of thorns. It was his destiny.

Many years ago, there walked a big silly, No one reelly did know, that he liked to Funk-A-Tash He left something behind, and it was a heckensteiner Cherokee Warrior, he lost the battle, thats fo sho But he left something behind,
I'm casting pearls before the swine. I think I must be losing my mind. You tried to leave me high and dry. Yes you nearly left me to die. Sticks and stones may break my bones. But your words, they never hit home. Time to say good-bye to all the pain. And chase away the rain.
Now there is wind in my sails. And I cannot fail.
Let the good times roll. Let the good times roll.
I'm a soldier and I will fight. On through the darkness and into the light. Now the ace is up my sleeve. It's so good it's hard to believe. I will take the journey to the end. Until there is nothing left for you to defend.
Now the tables are being turned. And it's time for you to burn.
Now there is wind in my sails. And I cannot fail.
Let the good times roll. Let the good times roll.

You always hypnotized. But now I realize. That I have been drinking with the devil. Well, I must lift this curse. It went from bad to worse. My over flowing cup is filled again.
It's so hard to tell you no. "My friend let's have another". No!! Why do you tempt me so? Be gone you bottled demon. Be gone!!
I've seen the darkness visions. Inside my lonely prison. You show no mercy, you're my nemesis. Well, I'll take the consequence. My bleeding soul will mend. Now I have saved myself from myself.
I'm never giving in. I'm delivered from this evil. You'll lose and I will win. So say my revelation.
[guitar solo]
Because you lied. I almost died. But I know you well. So go back to hell
No longer I roam on the shores that I love. The ship that I am sailing is lost at sea. Lord knows I long for the blue skies above. You know, home is where the heart is. Why can't you see?
But now there are asking questions. So be careful for what you say. "Step into room sixteen, sir". Please come right this way. Because you are in exile. Exile no!!
I cannot believe they are wasting my time. Please tell me what is happening. Cause I don't have a clue. It's so hard to conceive that I'm still standing in line.
I'm feeling so lonely, I could cry the blues.
But then there is a ray of hope somewhere. At least that's what they always say. Again "step into room sixteen, sir". Because you are in exile. Exile no!!
Now you look away. Onto the horizon. Kneel and pray. You better pray for your life. Piece by piece. It all becomes clearer. Now the chains are off. And the demons are here.
See no evil. Hear no evil. Speak no evil. Oh no.
The structure falls. As the spell has been broken. Now the hunt begins. The tempest is near. Now there is no doubt. You will fall their prey. There's no way out. Your soul can't be saved.
See no evil. Hear no evil.
Speak no evil. Oh no.
[guitar solo]
It will all turn to ashes. As they are burning it down. It will all come to pass. And they will be taking you down. So now the hunters ride. And soon they will be upon you. The wall will rise again. You better pray for your soul.
Well, beggars can't be choosers. But winners can be losers. Now you're all dressed up. With nowhere to go. Just let the good times roll. As the night unfolds. You're like a loaded gun. You're on the run.
You are all alone. And there's no more bets. You're in the danger zone. This is Russian roulette. Eye for an eye. Life on the street. I've got some humble pie. For you to eat.
Try it again. It's no sweat. Try it my friend. It's Russian roulette. It's Russian roulette.
I can see you laughing now. But you'll cry much later. Cause I hold the power of your fate. The bullet is in the chamber. But now you are feeling strange. You can't be very wise. Cause this is suicide.
You are all alone. And there's no more bets. You're in the danger zone.
This is Russian roulette. Eye for an eye. Life on the street. I've got some humble pie. For you to eat.
Try it again. It's no sweat. Try it my friend. It's Russian roulette. It's Russian roulette.

Once upon a time. So many centuries ago. The blind would lead the blind. To sell their souls. To be worshiping the dark. And to burn for eternity. With sacrifice of blood. The fools will bleed.
Unleash the fury. Free the beast. You must heed the story. Told by the priests. Ring the doomsday bells. Raising hell.
For this world I sing. Oh so sad a requiem. Now there is nothing that can bring. Bring it back again.
Unleash the fury. Free the beast.
You must heed the story. Told by the priests. Ring the doomsday bells. Raising hell.
