When we were young, we pledged allegiance every morning of our lives The classroom rang with children's voices under teacher's watchful eye We learned about the world around us at our desks and at dinnertime Reminded of the starving children, we cleaned our plates with guilty minds And the stones in the road shone like diamonds in the dust And then a voice called to us to make our way back home When I was ten, my father held me on his shoulders above the crowd To see a train draped in mourning pass slowly through our town His widow kneeled with all their children at the sacred burial ground And the TV glowed that long hot summer with all the cities burning down And the stones in the road flew out beneath our bicycle tires Worlds removed from all those fires as we raced each other home And now we drink our coffee on the run, we climb that ladder rung by rung We are the daughters and the sons, and here's the line that's missing The starving children have been replaced by souls out on the street We give a dollar when we pass, and hope our eyes don't meet We pencil in, we cancel out, we crave the corner suite We kiss your ass, we make you hold, we doctor the receipt And the stones in the road fly out from beneath our wheels Another day, another deal, before we get back home And the stones in the road leave a mark from whence they came A thousand points of light or shame, baby, I don't know
Behold -- 'tis I, the commander Whose grip controls you all! Resist me not, surrender! I'll no compassion call.

Your very lives are held within my fingers I snap them, and you cower down in fear You spineless things who belly down to slither To the end of the world you follow to be near.

Mourn for us oppressed in fear. Chained and shackled, we are bound Freedom choked; in dread we live Since Tyrant was enthroned.
I listen not to sympathy Whilst ruler of this land. Withdraw your feeble aches and moans, Or suffer smite from this my hand!

Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain Don't you know you're driving me insane You're tryin' to find your way through life You're tryin' to get some new direction Another woman got her man She won't find no new connection
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
Takes another look around, you're not goin' anywhere You've realized you're gettin' old and no one seems to care You're tryin' to find your way again You're tryin' to find some new... Another woman's got her man But she won't find a new...
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy I want to know why is it why Get up get out you know you really blew it I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me
I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you decided to call
And here I sit, hand on the telephone Hearing the voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall
Well we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust
Now I see you standing all around with snow in your hair Now we're looking out the window of a crummy hotel over Washington Square Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me, we both could've died then and there
Now you're telling me, your not nostalgic Damn give me another word for it You were so good with words And at keeping things vague
Cause I need some of that vaugeness now It's all come back too clearly, Yes I love you dearley And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid
Well we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust

Sinner rider, rides in with the storm The devil rides beside him The devil is his god, God help you mourn Do you, do you hear it, do you hear the thunder Deafen every living thing about Can you, can you see it, can you See the mountains darken yonder Black sun rising, time is running out
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
His steed of fury, Eyes of fire and mane ablaze Demonic vultures stalking Drawn by the smell of war and pain He roams the starways Searching for the carcasses of war But if it's hungry then its very presence Disrupts the calm into the storm
Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
God of the Devils, God of the Devils Won't you help them pray God of the Devils, God of the Devils Is there no other way
Can't you hear their souls calling out in their plight Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight
Thirty years now sleeping, so sound War raises its head, and looks slowly around The Sinner is near, sensing the fear And the beast will start movin' around
Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain Can't you hear their blood is boiling setting them alight
Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the Curse and damn you all you fall by the hand of the Sinner!

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.

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 you Keep the world with all its sin It's not fit for livin' in
You could find a way to ease my passion You listen to the blood flow in my veins You hear the teaching of the wind Tell her why I'm alive within I can't find the words My mind is dead It's better by you better than me
Guess you'll have to tell her how I tried To speak up thoughts I've held so inside Tell her now I got to go Out in the streets and down the shore Tell her the world's not much living for It's better by you better than me
Everybody Everybody knows Everybody Everybody knows Better by you better than me
You can tell what I want it to be You can say what I only can see It's better by you better than me

I came across a smoking field, pulsating afterglow I saw a searing flash of light erupt and skyward go I staggered back in dazed surprise What was it I had seen? And as I stood there mesmerised I heard my spirit scream
Invader invader nearby Invader, invader is nigh
This is the first of more to come in carefully planned attacks If it is so we must prepare defences to fight back The call is out throughout the world United we must stand To build a line, strategic force, they will not take a man
Invader invader nearby Invader, invader is nigh
When they come to take control every man must play his role They won't take our world away when the children we leave Will have to believe in today
We warn you now you things out there Whatever you may send We won't give in without a fight, a fight until the end With vigilance by day and night our scanners trace the sky A shield is sealed upon this earth, a shield you won't get by
Wild-eyed and tight fisted, I'm fused to the bone I stand contemplating, reacting alone Impaled with betrayal The tourniquet turns Society's creation Pole-axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean now he's stained class Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just a stained class king
Transfixed at deliverance, is this all there is Faithless continuum, into the abyss Fierce is my conviction, absolute my belief I spit at you apathy, and seducer deceit
Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean now he's stained class Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just a stained class king
Lethal, deadly, hung, drawn and quartered He slaughtered and faltered and altered the world But by doing so smashed all his hopes and utopian dreams Whipping, stripping, peeling the flesh off, relentless and senseless His lust snapped like vipers whose fangs sank in deep To infest and decay from the core
Impaled with betrayal, the tourniquet turns Society's creation, pole-axed out and burnt
Long ago when man was king, his heart was clean now he's stained class Time has slashed each untouched thing, so now he's just a stained class king
Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks And the night is so black that the darkness cooks And you come creeping around, making me do things I don't want to do
Can't believe that she needs my love so bad Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad Busting in all my dreams, making me see things I don't want to see
'Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two-pronged crown All night dragging us up, or you're bringing us down Just taking my love, and slip away Leaving me here, trying to keep from following you
I never give no answers, I never tell no lies, I never walk a straight line so I never get surprised. I don't ask no favors, so I won't get abused. I learned to win when I was young, So I'm never ever gonna lose!
They pay me the money and I'll do the job I got a contract on you I got a contract on you!
I never ask no questions, I never speak my mind: I always found that silence helps to keep me and my kind alive. I take care of business. It takes care of me. I look after myself and do it well 'Cause somebody's always looking for me.
They pay me the money and I'll do the job I got a contract on you I got a contract on you!
What manner of man am I? A gun, lump sum and then I move on What manner of man are you? Stab a friend's back to jump a queue
I -- do what I do 'cuz I can't do nothing better. You -- do what you do, just defending yourself, 'Cause you ain't got nothing better to do!

I got no place, no name, I'm just a killing machine. I kept the population down, if you know what I mean. I never stop in one place, I move about the cities. Got expensive tastes, but I hasten to add that: I'm the best that there is!
They pay me the money and I'll do the job I got a contract on you I got a contract on you!
I traveled to a distant shore, I felt I had to go. An inner voice had called me there, But why I did not know. I saw the evening star rise up, Shining out to sea, And now I understand at last what it means, What it all means!
Evening star: I can see the light! Evening star guiding me so bright!
I used to tempt fate, I couldn't see straight. I faltered through my younger days. Never knowing where I was going, Then something helped me penetrate the haze.
Evening star: I can see the light! Evening star guiding me so bright!
Now I am stronger: the haze no longer Ruins my future destiny. Such inspirations and new sensations Pull up these string ties chasing me.
SOLO (Glenn/both)
Evening star: I can see the light! Evening star guiding me so bright!
I'm home once more, much better for The things that I have found. Much wiser now, so simple how Each time I turn around. I see the evening star rise up, Shining out on me, And now I understand at last what it means, What it all means!
Evening star: I can see the light! Evening star guiding me so bright! (guiding me) Evening star: I can see the light! Evening star guiding me so bright! (fade)

You better watch out and hold on tight We're heading your way like dynamite Delivering the goods Delivering the goods
We turn and face each other. My fingers pull your hair. You wince and jerk my wrist off. I bite my lip and stare. Your stance at once defiant. I'm rigid to your pose. You clench your teeth in anger. My loving swells and grows.
You give me evil fantasies. I wanna get inside your mind. Come on and live my fantasies. I'll show you evil you can't hide.
You're dragged into my vision. Trapped, serving to my need. Maybe imagination. Is where my dark side feeds. You slide your nails down in me. I raise my structure high. You pout, I snarl, you whimper. And wave compassion "bye."
You give me evil fantasies. I wanna get inside your mind. Come on and live my fantasies. I'll show you evil you can't hide.
Gonna take you, gotta get through. Gonna make you, do what I want.
You're dragged into my vision. Trapped, serving to my need. Maybe imagination. Is where my dark side feeds.

From a fireball we came crossed sea and mountain. We were drinking beauty with our eyes. We were given all to make our own: Let us be left alone!
Laid the tasks and paid the price, everything survives. Crushed and bolted all the great. After every win, what a stake we're in: It's paying better than the grave.

Crouching in the corner Wound up as a spring Piercing eyes that flash are shimmering Muscles are all contorted Claws dug in the dirt Every ounce of fiber on alert And all the pressure that's been building up For all the years it bore the load The cracks appear the frame starts to distort Ready to explode Jawbreaker
And all the pressure that's been building up For all the years it bore the load The cracks appear the frame starts to distort Ready to explode Jawbreaker Jawbreaker Jawbreaker Jawbreaker
Along deserted avenues Steam begins to rise The figures primed and ready Prepared for quick surprise He's watching for a sign His life is on the line
Sworn to avenge Condemn to Hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel Dogs whine in the alleys Smoke is on the wind From deep inside its empty shell A cathedral bell begins Ringing out its toll A storm begins to grow
Sworn to avenge Condemn to Hell Tempt not the blade All fear the Sentinel
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 Bringing the kiss evils abound In the dead of the night love bites(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 the night love bites(love bites) Love bites you invites you To feast in the night Excites you delight you It drains you to white Live 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 the night love bites(love bites) Love bites
Wrapped tight around me Like a second flesh hot skin Cling to my body As the ecstasy begins Your wild vibrations Got me shooting from the hip Crazed and insatiable let rip And eat me alive Sounds like an animal Panting to the beat Groan in the pleasure zone Gasping from the heat Gut-wrenching frenzy That deranges every joint I'm gonna force you at gun point To eat me alive
Bound to deliver as You give and I collect Squealing impassioned as The rod of steel injects Lunge to the maximum Spread-eagled to the wall You're well equipped to take it all So eat me alive
You can look to the left and look to the right But you will live in danger tonight When the enemy comes he will never be heard He'll blow your mind and not say a word. Blinding lightsflashing colors Sleepless nights... If the man with the power Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll Some heads are gonna roll Some heads are gonna roll Some heads are gonna roll
The power-mad freaks who are ruling the earth Will show how little they think you're worth With animal lust they'll devour your life And slice your word to bits like a knife One last day burning hell fire You're blown away... If the man with the power Can't keep it under control
Some heads are gonna roll Some heads are gonna roll Some heads are gonna roll Some heads are gonna roll
Know what it's like When you're taken for granted There goes your life It's so underhanded
Oh, come on!
SOLO
And the man with the power Can't keep it under control

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
You won't hear me, But you'll feel me Without warning, something's dawning, listen. Then within your senses, You'll know you're defenseless How your heart beats, when you run for cover You can't retreat, I spy like no other.
Then we race together. We can ride forever. Wrapped in horse-power, driving into fury Changing gear I pull you tighter to me.
I'm your turbo lover. Tell me there's no other. I'm your turbo lover. Better run for cover.
We hold each other closer, as we shift to overdrive And everything goes rushing by, with every nerve alive We move so fast it seems as though we've taken to the sky Love machines in harmony, we hear the engines cry.
I'm your turbo lover. Tell me there's no other. I'm your turbo lover. Better run for cover.
On and on we're charging to the place so many seek In perfect synchronicity of which so many speak We feel so close to heaven in this roaring heavy load And then in sheer abandonment, we shatter and explode.
You think you're cool and got it all You think you run the scene I don't believe how you'd concieve That your good enough for me You think you've got it all sewn up But I'll cut you right down to size The way I figure you dont exist So you'd better realize
Don't you touch Don't get near Don't take me for a fool Make no mistake No give and take I'm too good for you
So keep your hands off Private property Hands off Oh Oh Keep your hands off Private property Hands off me Hands off Keep your hands off me
I'm number one when I turn it on Do you think you can relate You'd be amazed, left in a daze To see me operate
Don't you touch Don't get near Don't take me for a fool Make no mistake No give and take I'm too good for you
So keep your hands off Private property Hands off Oh Oh Keep your hands off Private property Hands off Oh Oh
You live in a fantasy I don't even care. If you're lookin' for sympathy It ain't there
Hands off Keep your dirty hands off me.
So keep your hands off Private property Hands off Oh Oh Keep your hands off Private property Hands off Oh Oh Keep your hands off Private property Hands off Oh Oh Keep your hands off Private property Hands off Oh Oh Hands off

Where are you now The fears are comin' back to me once again Oh, I wish you were here Takin' good care of me I want you I feel as though I'm out in the cold

Raise the sights the city lights are calling We're hot tonight the time is right there's nitro in the air In the street is where we'll meet we're warning On the beat we won't retreat beware Thousand of cars and a million guitars Screaming with power in the air We've found the place where the decibels race This army of rock will be there To ram it down ram it down Straight through the heart of this town Ram it down ram it down Razing the place to the ground Ram it down

When the power chords come crashing down go tearing through my sense It for the strong, not for the weak In light and dark dimension It stimulates, regenerates It therapeutic healing It lifts our feet up off the ground and blasts us through the ceiling Between the eyes I hear it screaming And it electrifies Your inner feelings Hot shock waves charge the air All heads are banging Fists pumping everywhere Guitars are cranking Heavy metal. Heavy metal What do you want Heavy metal. Heavy metal What do you want Ten thousands lights come blazing down With razor sharp precision The speakers pour out molten steel The beat gives double vision An armour plated raging beast That born of steel and leather It will survive against all odds Stampeding on forever Between the eyes I hear it screaming And it electrifies Your inner feelings Hot shock waves charge the air All heads are banging Fists pumping everywhere Guitars are cranking Heavy metal. Heavy metal What do you want Heavy metal. Heavy metal What do you want
Heavy metal. Heavy metal Hot shock waves charge the air All heads are banging Fists pumping everywhere Guitars are cranking Heavy metal. Heavy metal What do you want Heavy metal. Heavy metal What do you want Heavy metal. Heavy metal What do you want Heavy metal. Heavy metal What do you want
Do you like it heavy Do you love it mean Do you want it dirty We don't play it clean Standing in the spotlight Ceiling to the floor I can see you rockin' Let me hear you roar Turn it up Tear it down Hammering through Can you feel the sound Any day, Any
As the sun goes down, I move around Keeping to the shadows Life, hangs by a thread And I've heard it said, that I'll not see tomorrow
If that's my destiny, it'll have to be So I'll face the future Running out of time I'm on the line But I'll go down fighting
Felt the hand of justice Telling wrong from right Threw me out upon the street in the middle of the night
Cybernetic heartbeat Digital precise Pneumatic fingers nearly had me in their vice
Not begging you I'm telling you
You won't break me You won't make me You won't take me, Under blood red skies
You won't break me You won't take me I'll fight you under blood red skies
Through a shattered city, watched by laser eyes Overhead the night squad glides The decaying paradise
Automatic sniper With computer sights Scans the bleak horizon for its victim of the night
They're closing in They'll never win
You won't break me You won't take me You won't make me, Under blood red skies
You won't break me You won't take me I'll fight you under blood red skies
As the end is drawing near Standing proud, I won't give in to fear As I die a legend will be born I will stand, I will fight You'll never take me alive I'll stand my ground I won't go down
You won't break me You won't make me You won't take me, Under blood red skies
You won't break me You won't take me I'll fight you under blood red skies
You'll never take me alive I'm telling you Hands of justice I will stand, I will fight As the sun goes down I won't give in to fear

You mesmerise slowly Till I can't believe my eyes Ecstasy controls me What you give just serves me right Without warning you're here Like magic you appear I taste the fear I'm so afraid But I still feed the flame In the night Come to me You know I want your Touch of Evil In the night Please set me free I can't resist a Touch of Evil

Howling winds keep screaming round And the rain comes pouring down Doors are locked and bolted now As the thing crawls into town
Straight out of hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you
Nightcrawler Beware the beast in black Nightcrawler You know he's coming back Night Crawler
Sanctuary is being sought Whispered prayers a last resort Homing in its' cry distorts Terror struck they know they're caught
Straight out of hell One of a kind Stalking his victim Don't look behind you
Nightcrawler Beware the beast in black Nightcrawler You know he's coming back Night Crawler
As night is falling The end is drawing near They'll hear Their last rites echo on the wind
Huddled in the cellar Fear caught in their eyes Daring not to move or breathe As the creature cries Fingernails start scratching On the outside wall Clawing at the windows "Come to me" it calls Atmosphere's electric As it now descend the stairs
Hiding in the darkness Is so futile from its glare Death comes in an instant As they hoped it would Souls ascend to heaven While it feasts on flesh and blood

Licensed to kill On my 650 Bonneville "Hellfire" we yell Fuelled and indestructible Get it down to take the crown Neon daze Renegades No fear just hate Drives us to the ultimate Cut loose extremes On our maniac machines Take me down Or hit the ground Neon nights At the speed of light So you motherfuckers want to race You've all got loser tattooed on your face Machine Man's running - you wanna try Machine Man's coming - you're gonna die Ignite the engines You can hear it scream You're gonna eat your words That challenged this machine The beast is revved up The flag is down The tyres screech And lay a smoke screen all around Through the limits As they rocket past It's a blood bath There's no second place Machine Man - Machine Man's coming Machine Man - Machine Man's coming

oh Well I've said it before and I'll say it again You get nothing for nothing expect it when You're backseat driving and your hands ain't on the wheel It's easy to go along with the crowd And find later on that your say ain't allowed Oh that's the way to find what you've been missing So I'm heading out to the highway I got nothing to lose at all I'm gonna do it my way Take a chance before I fall A chance before I fall
You can hang in a left or hang in a right The choice it is yours to do as you might The road is open wide to place your bidding Now wherever you turn wherever you go If you get it wrong at least you can know There's miles and miles to put it back together And I'm heading out to the highway I got nothing to lose at all I'm gonna do it my way Take a chance before I fall A chance before I fall
On the highway On the highway
Making a curve or taking the strain On the decline or out on the wain Oh everybody breaks down sooner or later We'll put it to rights we'll square up and mend Back on your feet to take the next bend You weather every storm that's coming atcha And I'm heading out to the highway I got nothin' to lose at all I'm gonna do it my way Take a chance before I fall Yes I'm heading out to the highway I got nothing to lose at all I got nothing to lose at all
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, bloodst
There I was completely wasting, out of work and down all inside it's so frustrating as I drift from town to town feel as though nobody cares if I live or die so I might as well begin to put some action in my life Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law So much for the golden future, I can't even start I've had every promise broken, there's anger in my heart you don't know what it's like, you don't have a clue if you did you'd find yourselves doing the same thing too Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law
You don't know what it's like
Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law Breaking the law, breaking the law
Sinner rider, rides in with the storm The devil rides beside him The devil is his god, God help you mourn Do you, do you hear it, do you hear the thunder Deafen every living thing about Can you, can you see it, can you See the mountains darken yonder Black sun rising, time is running out
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
His steed of fury, Eyes of fire and mane ablaze Demonic vultures stalking Drawn by the smell of war and pain He roams the starways Searching for the carcasses of war But if it's hungry then its very presence Disrupts the calm into the storm
Curse and damn you all you'll fall by the hand of the Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
God of the Devils, God of the Devils Won't you help them pray God of the Devils, God of the Devils Is there no other way
Can't you hear their souls calling out in their plight Can't you see their blood is boiling setting them alight
Thirty years now sleeping, so sound War raises its head, and looks slowly around The Sinner is near, sensing the fear And the beast will start movin' around
Can't you see their souls calling out in their brain Can't you hear their blood is boiling setting them alight
Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner! Sinner!
Sacrifice to vice or die by the hand of the Curse and damn you all you fall by the hand of the Sinner!
Full moon is rising The sky is black I need your call I'm coming back The road is straight cast Wind's in my eyes The engine roars between my thighs
From desert plains I bring you love From desert plains I bring you love
Wild mountain thunder Echoes my quest My body aches but I'll not rest Quartz light to guide me Till sunrise leads My passion screams, my heart it bleeds
From desert plains I bring you love From desert plains I bring you love
Then in the distance I see you stand On the horizon you raise your hand In burning rubber I end my quest You fall into my arms at last
From desert plains I bring you love From desert plains I bring you love
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
I'll be damned, here comes your ghost again But that's not unusual It's just that the moon is full And you decided to call
And here I sit, hand on the telephone Hearing the voice I'd known A couple of light years ago Heading straight for a fall
Well we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust
Now I see you standing all around with snow in your hair Now we're looking out the window of a crummy hotel over Washington Square Our breath comes in white clouds, mingles and hangs in the air Speaking strictly for me, we both could've died then and there
Now you're telling me, your not nostalgic Damn give me another word for it You were so good with words And at keeping things vague
Cause I need some of that vaugeness now It's all come back too clearly, Yes I love you dearley And if you're offering me diamonds and rust, I've already paid
Well we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust Yes we both know what memories can bring They bring diamonds and rust
Diamonds, Diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust Diamonds, Diamonds and rust
Hypnotize me Mesmerize me Feel my willpower slip Light my fire With cold desire Losing all my grip
Eat my diamonds Drinking all my gin Feast your eyes on A whole lotta sin
Oh no you're so damned wicked You got me by the throat Oh no gotcha claws stuck in me You never let me go I believe you're the devil I believe you're the devil's child
Took my dreams And now it's seems you're nothing but a liar Smash and grab at all I had Build my funeral pyre Stop pretendin' Got me growin' old Your tormentin's Fit to snap my soul
Oh no you're so damned wicked You got me by the throat Oh no gotcha claws stuck in me You never let me go I believe you're the devil I believe you're the devil's child
You took my heart And left it blown to smithereens I gave my body as a slave You cut my flesh And drank my blood that poured in streams I'm left here broken and ashamed
Goin' under Hear the thunder Death defying grace Your condition breeds ammuntion Shoots me in the face Vicious talkin' Stabs me like a knife Scratched and bruised, so abused I'm a human sacrifice
Oh no you're so damned wicked You got me by the throat Oh no gotcha claws stuck in me You never let me go I believe you're the devil I believe you're the devil's child
Hey listen don't you 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 your 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
One life I'm gonna live it up I'm takin' flight I said i'll never get enough Stand tall I'm young and kinda proud I'm on top as long as the music's loud
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had You think I'll let it go you're mad You've got another thing comin'
That's right here's where the talkin' ends Well listen this night there'll be some action spent Drive hard I'm callin' all the shots I got an ace card comin' down on the rocks
If you think I'll sit around while you chip away my brain Listen I ain't foolin' and you'd better think again Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had You think I'll let it go you're mad You got another thing comin
In this world we're livin' in we have our share of sorrow Answer now is don't give in aim for a new tomorrow
Oh so hot no time to take a rest yeah Act tough ain't room for second best Real strong got me some security Hey I'm a big smash I'm goin' for infinity yeah
If you think I'll sit around as the world goes by You're thinkin' like a fool cause it's a case of do or die Out there is a fortune waitin' to be had You think I'll let it go you're mad You've got another thing comin'
Whiskey woman don't you know that you are drivin' me insane The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain Don't you know you're driving me insane You're tryin' to find your way through life You're tryin' to get some new direction Another woman got her man She won't find no new connection
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
Takes another look around, you're not goin' anywhere You've realized you're gettin' old and no one seems to care You're tryin' to find your way again You're tryin' to find some new... Another woman's got her man But she won't find a new...
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
You 'bin foolin' with some hot guy I want to know why is it why Get up get out you know you really blew it I've had enough, I've had enough, good God pluck me
Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone I took the city 'bout one A.M, loaded, loaded I'm all geared up to score again, loaded, loaded I come alive in the neon light That's when I make my moves right Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone Got gleaming chrome, reflecting steel, loaded, loaded Ready to take on every deal, loaded, loaded My pulse is racing, I'm hot to take This motor's revved up, fit to break Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone I'm aiming for ya I'm gonna floor ya My body's coming All night long
The air's electric, sparkin' power, loaded, loaded I'm getting hotter by the hour, loaded, loaded I set my sights and then home in The joint starts flying when I begin Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone Living after midnight, rockin' to the dawn Lovin' 'til the morning, then I'm gone, I'm gone
Now when the day goes to sleep and the full moon looks And the night is so black that the darkness cooks And you come creeping around, making me do things I don't want to do
Can't believe that she needs my love so bad Come sneaking around, trying to drive me mad Busting in all my dreams, making me see things I don't want to see
'Cause you're the Green Manalishi with the two-pronged crown All night dragging us up, or you're bringing us down Just taking my love, and slip away Leaving me here, trying to keep from following you
