Born into a world of hatred
Nothing to live for What started with a simple match Turned into something more The pain I felt inside my head Came on my day of birth Now the time has come for me To burn the planet earth [Chorus] I can feel the fire Burning inside of me The powers at my fingers Waiting you shall see Burn! Ignite the population Burn! Causing mass cremation Burn! Feel no shame or pity Burn! Apocalyptic city Years have passed as I stood still To plan the final blow I'll make the town go up in flames A hellish death they'll know As I pour on the gasoline I listen deep inside I hear the cries of all my victims Nowhere to run or hide [Chorus] Now my great assault is over And my life is done Staring at my great infernos Was my only fun So I leave you with my tale Here my conscious falls Victim of myself So now I'll end it all [Chorus] |

Summoned to the house of seance
To play the evil tarot cards To find out what our fate will bring us Before the war Approaching now the hour of tiamat Evil feeling in the air The chosen wait impatiently To find the rituals of power Come out of the fire Making the legacy known Predicted by the past Takes its toll at last Now knowing when it strikes The endless fueding shows its fate The people are all shocked with fright They know the end is coming near It`s time to fight The revolution holds on strong The armies have all met their match Entire world up in arms Destruction sees the spirits of anger Come up from the gallows Conjured my demons appear Summoned to my cast, prey this deadly mass Takin?by the fire you fail The world became a vast wasteland Survivors turn to cannibals Killing everything in sight Warfare tonight The armies are all closing in The populations getting small Feelings are as cold as ice Survival names its price Starting to burn The rape and violence grows high A kingdom will rise To rule with contempt They will surprise Kill and repent The weakness in armies "Won큧 die!!!" Leaving now the house of seance Speculating destiny Wonder if the cards were true Will wait to find out and will wait to see |

Living my life on borrowed time
Watching my dreams disappear My fists slowly clench as my mind seeks control My body trembles in fear Life was looking up for me when I left home It seems like yesterday Now I'll never go back there again Here is where I'll stay Nobody can hear you scream or shout Once you're in, you won't come out You will never see the light of day I'm the hunter, you're my prey ! Watching the clash between the forces below >From up in the planes we're flying Survivors are taken as prisoners of war The others are slowly dying I shiver as we strap on our parachutes We line up to jump out the doors We're already there and there's no turning back I fall to the scene of the war Nobody can hear you scream or shout Once you're in, you won't come out You will never see the light of day I'm the hunter, you're my prey ! You can see me, flying right over your head Try to stop me, you can't cause your armies are dead To cross the blood red trenches of the dead below Do or die, Hell's the place you'll go Living my life on borrowed time Watching my dreams disappear My fists slowly clench as my mind seeks control My body trembles in fear Life was looking up for me when I left home It seems like yesterday Now I'll never go back there again Here is where I'll stay Nobody can hear you scream or shout Once you're in, you won't come out You will never see the light of day I'm the hunter, you're my prey ! |

Trapped in by fear Ordered for the rest of my life Condemned in a jail cell Ain't seen life in years Escape is the only way out Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me My sanity is all but gone My patience is growing very weak I need to get a hold of my self I stare at the wall For the right time has come Escape must occur on this night Restart my life Or self destruction To climb this wall of dark construction Holding the quest for freedom That beckons me Stand in my way And I`ll run you straight through There no one to stop me now For I on the loose And I`m ready to start Torture and hell in this town Over The Wall!!!

Our ship sailed on through the
Violent burning sea Not knowing of the danger Waiting in store for me We wound up all in mayhem The vessel tossed and turned The compass that had led us We watched it slowly burn We'll never see our homeland We know it all right then That fate was on the second hand Of borrowed time again For that evil pathed our way The men were being thrown From left and right they feel The water was as hot as satan's Forge from hell The questions that arose like Where the hell are we I had a good idea we're in the Devils sea : the triangle ! See what's become of your Life left to live No hope from this land of trust Hells winds scream sacrilege Death from above The great white closes in The corpses afloat all shattered in rage No hope for our piece of mind Satans vessels come closer and closer He holds the seas fate in his hand [Chorus] "Violence terror" Raging waters Dying has scare us nowhere to go Darkness prevails no one to save us Every one man for himself The red gem of Hades is shining Too hot Satan's power becomes strong His armies have killed so many Before us A sacrifice must be done The door of the chosen Has opened for us what sanctuary Will we see See him panic crying in lust Screaming he'll get me [Chorus] Our ship sailed on through the Violent burning sea Not knowing of the danger Waiting in store for me We wound up all in mayhem The vessel tossed and turned The compass that had led us We watched it slowly burn We'll never see our homeland We know it all right then That fate was on the second hand Of borrowed time again For that evil pathed our way |

Hear the screams, screams of fright
Shrieks of terror through the night Souls of old band to hold The meeting for the haunting night Headless ghosts fill the halls Shadow plays of grief and pain Phantom speaks his final note Tenants of the castle slain Black cats will appear As the witching hour nears Lost souls will all be told For haunting we will go! See their dreams come to life Under pressure holding tight Feel the cold grabbing hold To feed you to the haunting night Evil witch black as pitch Starts a fire with a flinch Burning fire rising higher Making music like a choir Children of the night They큥e howling at black skies The ruthless calls within For the haunting now begins Stay away from the shining light Can큧 seem to find the answer there Bring back the terror in the night That we all share tonight Hear the screams, screams of fright Shrieks of terror through the night Souls of old band to hold The meeting for the haunting Headless ghosts fill the halls Shadow plays of grief and pain Phantom speaks his final note Tenants of the castle slain Black cats will appear As the witching hour nears Lost souls will all be told For haunting we will go! |

A world of chaos A world of fear A world of anger and corruption When all is lost And millions starve Is this humanity's destruction? Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will they see another day? No one help us, The children pray Nobody listens to their crying This great depression When will it end? To live like this is worse than dying Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will they see another day? Your destiny is over Your fate has declined Refuse to discover What so many could find Death's endless toil As I long for rest Life's now forsaken Condemned to repress! [Guitar Solo] No sign of Heaven No sign of Hell Just the sign of pain and sorrow This generation inhabits all To form an order for tomorrow Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will we see another day? |

Deep in the pit and lying alone
Where death has reared itself a throne We're all the good, the bad The worst and the best And where they land is their eternal rest Foul plays of passion At twilight's dim In joy of woe, of good and sin Winds of storm and fates overcast Darkly my presence Is now your past Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! So in the sad, silent watches of night The lonely pathway envisions my sight Echoes of laughter And boundless cries Son here I wander under infinite skies Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! |

In days of old
When the books were untold Speak of a world crushed by sin. "The people will mourn of a war to be born" Nobody would listen to him. Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. In 1906 Like the future predicts The city will crumble to the bay Then what's in store When the worlds go to war? Peace will have come another day Then came the one In the year of '41 Warfare would light up the sky He beckoned the call Of the future for all Blinded by what's in his eyes In days of old When the books were untold Speak of a world crushed by sin. "The people will mourn of a war to be born" Nobody would listen to him. Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees.

Trapped by flames of fury Ordered onto by the jury Death is their desire Thrown in the fire! Hey! This is what the people say A new way A trial by fire Quiver by the fiery light Cringing as your soul ignites The book of law's been thrown away starting today!

Pray themselves alone, te hate build from their pride You can't take away, can't take what they own! The eyes watching from the sky, guides them throug the haze Calling far away, the rain is black as black, black as night Oh let them pray! False sense of pride, satisfies There's no reason for suicide Use your mind, and hope to find Find the meaning of existence...

The games are played with your life on the line Some lose, you win if you keep on trying I don't mind doing time, I'm happier being alive Now I know the means to my opression were all lies The only truth is your own most sacred lesson I've ever learned I know we are free... I've been robbed, I've been fooled I intend now to make my own rules Dagger's edge cut the line, I've been down that road too many times What's to fear, fear no more Show my conscience what fears's for Now I know this is so real What's done is done so do as you will!

Searching for answers to make life complete No need to searc for more questions There for you to see! The wars that we must fight You dodge the draft before you drive So sick and tired, why can't they realise The rights they sympathise So sick and tried, why can't we live our lives The time is coming, it's too soon I can't quite tell I don't know, I think my world has gone to hell The time is coming, life it spins just like a wheel I dont know, that's the way that it makes me feel! |

Hail to the new leader now
Ruler of this land with plans that follow to demonstrate Fear the blackened band So horrid and deathly true Dishonest and powermad Unspoken, sealed fate Bursting to desolate Chorus: His love to hate He'll murder souls like me and you But along the way He'll have to dwell in his own hell. Clear the streets See them marching while columns take a stand Time provoked, their mirror of hatred with dark uncanny plans to take out and follow through Just following their orders with death rates and death's toll Those poor unfortunate souls Chorus Twisting and turning through the mazes in your head But in a time like this you're better off dead The time has come now Put up or shut down The feelings that you have were lost and never found Chorus |

Time is nothing but life's decay
Pitch your reverend path This is the path you paved What you will find is life's only way There's no looking back There must be a better way Lightning skies Prayers from an open grave A dead man's eyes Must be a dead man's day Black skies fade to a shadow grey The darkness is so deep Prayers for the light of the day What you will find is life's only way There's no looking back back to a better way Lightning skies Prayers from an open grave A dead man's eyes Must be a dead man's day that leads to one man's fate There ain't no better way to die Fate, there's no compromise Hate leads to suicide Trapped in a crystal haze Hail to a dead man's day Time is but a passageway trying to believe your life was sanity A matter of time is all that you need Life's not coming back back to those better days Lightning skies Prayers from an open grave A dead man's eyes Must be a dead man's day |

Can't you seeThat in the world we live in Political liesAre just corporate decisions
They'll take awayAll the hopes, not their promises They'll put an end to thisLand of the living Look at the lost souls They seem so black Look at the lost souls Souls of black They got controlOf the heart of a nation Their social tribes Seem so graciously As time goes by'Cause time as you came see Will slowly die for you and me Look at the lost souls They seem so black Look at the lost souls Souls of black So put an end To this idolizationAntagonizing so commonly Open your eyes'Cause the lie's there so plain to see Life goes onThere's no Guarantees Look at the lost souls They seem so black Look at the lost souls Souls of blackThey're bleeding so black |

Trapped in a nightmare
Prisoners of warfare Days gone become years Of suffering ... Fight on but what's to gain ? Misfortune leads to pain ... Fearless they won't die Caged in they ask why Cry out but don't cry In agony ... Live on but what's to gain Die slowly everyday Misfortune leads to pain Will they ever be saved From agony, Agony, Agony In silent suffering It's never ending They pray to end their Misery ... Fight on but what's to gain Die slowly everyday Misfortune leads to pain Will they ever be saved From agony, Agony, Agony Agony Missing in action Never forgotten America the mighty Set them free ... Fight on but what's to gain Die slowly everyday Misfortune leads to pain Will they ever be saved From agony, Agony, Agony Agony |

Take a look away Think about the things you say The day awaits your soul in chains Ya got to make it today Or there will be hell to pay And there is no other way Look at how you're living now Life can always bring you down The cradle to the grave All I give is all I save... Every day's the same Can you still feel the pain You lose your mind then go insane I can't talk to you You can't tell me what to do What I need is up to you Look at how you're living now Life can always bring me down The cradle to the grave All I give is all I save... And I wonder how they live Always taking what they give Never far, always near, lose your mind Gripping you with...fear... What's done is done... Hey, slave, take it to the grave Walk in someone else's shoes That's the path you paved Live, die, take off that disguise Find your own reflection now In the pool it lies Now you know the score You can't take this hell anymore You feel like you never did before Go and find the way You're closer to it everyday Yes, this is the price you pay And I wonder how they live Always taking what they give Never far, always near, lose your mind Gripping you with fear... When the fist comes down... |

Here we go The people show Victims of tomorrow The way it goes It never shows Emptiness or sorrow There is nothing left inside Nothing left to cry for So I justify my crimes Things that I must die for So alone Away it goes The life that you have wasted You never know Where it might go The sweet success you've tasted Tasted by a bitter frown Knowing I must die for Can't confide, to all the lies No one to inquire As I wander, change os seasons As I realize That I'll soon be there I'll let you know The reapers show Makes you beg or borrow He comes to see The tragedy His fate he will not follow Wearing your electric crown The preacher starts to pray Shiver as the lights go down Heed these words I say As I wander Change of seasons I can't ponder I got my reasons As I realize I don't care All I know is That I'll soon be there Now it's done The time has come The people stand in silence Another dawn Has come and gone His fate has been decided There is no one left inside A brain without a mind Traces of a bitter man Are all that you will find CHORUS |

Let go of my world Let it go ... Touch my soul With subliminal sin Deceptions they induce Ingest the lies Dissect the mind You can't control the youth Enslave the free With conformity Oppression takes its toll Hey little man Who are you To try to take control Of my soul ... Let go of my world Let me go ... Bleed me dry Read between the lies Filter out the truth Pick at my brain Brand me insane I know what I must do take my life into my own hands My sins I will atone It I don't cry I will reside Inside mental home Home sweet home ...

Troubled dreams
Of a wandering nomad Damned to be all by myself I travelled far Following bright stars Through the endless desert sands Starring off into the sky Down on Myself Loneliness brings my demise Oh,what a nightmare Here we go Leave me be Why must I please them When I can't even please myself Deep in thoughts But I still feel so Lost in endless despair Starring off into the sky Down on myself Loneliness brings my demise Oh,what a nightmare Here we go As you soon realize The nights so black I feel blind Should I keep wandering on On and on and on There's just one thing you should know No I can't take it no more Two wrongs don't make it right Right or wrong I can't take it And in the end you will find Find me a peace of mind Forever lost Severing my thoughts From the dream I must seek Time to end This aggravation The nomad spirit lives in me [Chorus] |

Apocalyptic city Years have passed as I stood still To plan the final blow I'll make the town go up in flames A hellish death they'll know As I pour on the gasoline I listen deep inside I hear the cries of all my victims Nowhere to run or hide [Chorus] Now my great assault is over And my life is done Staring at my great infernos Was my only fun So I leave you with my tale Here my conscious falls Victim of myself So now I'll end it all [Chorus] |

To play the evil tarot cards To find out what our fate will bring us Before the war Approaching now the hour of tiamat Evil feeling in the air The chosen wait impatiently To find the rituals of power Come out of the fire Making the legacy known Predicted by the past Takes its toll at last Now knowing when it strikes The endless fueding shows its fate The people are all shocked with fright They know the end is coming near It`s time to fight The revolution holds on strong The armies have all met their match Entire world up in arms Destruction sees the spirits of anger Come up from the gallows Conjured my demons appear Summoned to my cast, prey this deadly mass Takin?by the fire you fail The world became a vast wasteland Survivors turn to cannibals Killing everything in sight Warfare tonight The armies are all closing in The populations getting small Feelings are as cold as ice Survival names its price Starting to burn The rape and violence grows high A kingdom will rise To rule with contempt They will surprise Kill and repent The weakness in armies "Won큧 die!!!" Leaving now the house of seance Speculating destiny Wonder if the cards were true Will wait to find out and will wait to see |

[Intro & Guitar Solo]
A world of chaos A world of fear A world of anger and corruption When all is lost And millions starve Is this humanity's destruction? Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will they see another day? No one help us, The children pray Nobody listens to their crying This great depression When will it end? To live like this is worse than dying Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will they see another day? Your destiny is over Your fate has declined Refuse to discover What so many could find Death's endless toil As I long for rest Life's now forsaken Condemned to repress! [Guitar Solo] No sign of Heaven No sign of Hell Just the sign of pain and sorrow This generation inhabits all To form an order for tomorrow Life! A game that people play Cryout! Will we see another day? |

Hail Mary - Testament
I am alive I feel dirt in my eyes There's no escape when redemption is lost I'm not a saint There's no use looking No sins to deny Just my will to go on Arms of darkness Embrace me in madness In my life it's mandatory Hard to resist you I still can't forgive you For sins that I cannot wash away Hail Mary full of grace Throw some light upon this race Intertwining final breath Now... in the hour of death (Solo: James) Bound by lies Of constant denial Pay for my sins that I bear for a child I'm not a saint There's no use denying Falling from grace Is my reason to go on Hail Mary full of grace Push me down, and kick me in my face Inter-twinning final breath Now... in the hour of death |

Deep in the pit and lying alone
Where death has reared itself a throne We're all the good, the bad The worst and the best And where they land is their eternal rest Foul plays of passion At twilight's dim In joy of woe, of good and sin Winds of storm and fates overcast Darkly my presence Is now your past Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! So in the sad, silent watches of night The lonely pathway envisions my sight Echoes of laughter And boundless cries Son here I wander under infinite skies Join the insanity Or die as you fall Into the pit! The mass production And the killing of all Into the pit! The future screams for help Are fading away Into the pit! The world tomorrow Will it die for today? Into the pit! |

It's man against mankind Bruises that they bear Been beaten down with time Innocent people suffer the loss Your broken hope so close to the cross Sometimes, you just don't know How low... how low you can go... So low it's sickening Low... Low... show some mercy... Hey you piece of shit Just leave the kids alone Why can't you bear The things that we endure Innocent people suffer the loss Lost hope with faith to the cross Sometimes, you just don't know How low... how low you can go... Show some sympathy Low... Low... show some mercy... [Solo: James] I don't like you for your warped demented ways I hope the lock you down, so you never get away Low...

I'm gonna take you
To a place far from here No one will see us Watch the pain as it disappears No time for anger No time for despair Won't you come with me There's a room for us there This innocent beauty My words can't describe This rebirth purity Brings a sullen tear right to your eyes No time for anger No time for despair Please let me take you 'cause I'm already there I'm so alone My head's my home I'll return to serenity Rhyme without reason is why children cry They see through the system That's breeding them just so they die So please let me take you And I'll show you the truth Inside my reality We shared in our youth [CHORUS :] I'm so alone My head's my home And I feel So alone You know At last I'll return to serenity ... Now that I've taken you To a place far from here I really must go back Close your eyes and we'll disappear Won't you come with me Salvation we'll share Inside of my head now There's a room for us there CHORUS: |

They'll take awayAll the hopes, not their promises They'll put an end to thisLand of the living Look at the lost souls They seem so black Look at the lost souls Souls of black They got controlOf the heart of a nation Their social tribes Seem so graciously As time goes by'Cause time as you came see Will slowly die for you and me Look at the lost souls They seem so black Look at the lost souls Souls of black So put an end To this idolizationAntagonizing so commonly Open your eyes'Cause the lie's there so plain to see Life goes onThere's no Guarantees Look at the lost souls They seem so black Look at the lost souls Souls of blackThey're bleeding so black |

In days of old
When the books were untold Speak of a world crushed by sin. "The people will mourn of a war to be born" Nobody would listen to him. Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see. Don't disavow his word For the truth must be heard Cause the preacher tells visions he sees. In 1906 Like the future predicts The city will crumble to the bay Then what's in store When the worlds go to war? Peace will have come another day Then came the one In the year of '41 Warfare would light up the sky He beckoned the call Of the future for all Blinded by what's in his eyes In days of old When the books were untold Speak of a world crushed by sin. "The people will mourn of a war to be born" Nobody would listen to him. Think back in time When the future you find Is so faint that it's too hard to see.

Life is of the broken ones Some will stray as time will come Al their lives, the live it well Red man proud and giving hell Some stand and shining tall Can you hear them call? See the sun as it's setting still Tears fall from a warrior Damn those who I feel Set a trail to the promised land Mother and child holding hand in hand Through the snow or through the sands All across the land... Full moon's rising from the sky, a warrior's riding Ride with the wind So far away, the spirits will guide you No more sorrow Don't look back, your freedom will follow Flying so free Can't you see... on the trail of tears Full moon's rising from the sky, a warrior's riding Ride with the wind So far away, the spirits will guide you No more sorrow Don't look back, your freedom will follow Flying so free Can't you see... on the trail of tears |

Pounding the world like a battering ram
Forging the furnace for the final grand slam Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none Hammering anvils straining muscle and might Shattering blows crashing browbeating fright Fast devastating and desolisating the curse Blasting the cannons of truth through each man of this earth Wielding the axe comes the one culmination That's always seemed certain to bring down the curtain on greed Sifting the good from the bad it's the age for the rage Of the dogs which must fall to the just and be free Now grate for the vandals who trampled and sampled Till this place conditioned brought forth demolition to war The slipping and sliding corrosive subsiding That withered and wained till the world seemed all drained fills the bay Pounding the world like a battering ram Forging the furnace for the final grand slam Chopping away at the source soon the course will be done Leaving a trail of destruction that's second to none Second to none |

Let's pretend the nightmare is done From the earth the magma will rise From the sea comes cancerous tides The meaning of life ends in prophecy Premonitions bring tragedy Is there hope for humanity? Molten fire...Flies thru the sky Burning high...Eclipse of the sun Blackened skies Rites of the night Three days in darkness in 2012 Mother earth's been withered by time Alredy dead and we didn't even know it Watch the stars to give us a sign From above all the angels descend The meaning of life ends in agony Raped by impurities Not a chance for humanity Molten fire...Flies thru the sky Burning high...Eclipse of the sun Blackened skies Rites of the night Three days in darkness in 2012 Magma splits the earth and shift below Molten lava bursts and overflows Rise as we wait, annihilate, burning earth pulls to the sun Rise as we wait, obliterate, burning earth pulls to the sun Three days of darkness in 2012 Mega cities still blaze in the night Burning ashes they choke From the earth the magma will rise Enveloped in poisonous smoke So meaning of life ends in prophecy Premonitions of tragedy Still no hope for humanity Molten fire...Flies thru the sky Burning high...Eclipse of the sun Blackened skies Rites of the night Three days in darkness in 2012 |
