Iron Savior - Kill Or Get Killed lyrics



Tracks



01. Kill Or Get Killed

Far out beyond the void
An ancient dread resurrects from the dead
Born from evil - raised in hell
On the approach to sound the knell
For the worlds
The worlds and the universe
Armageddon is drawing near
Their heralds are here

Locked in an banished
By judgement divine
Lost in oblivion
In torrents and tides of time
Torrents of time

Born in the twilight
To conquer them all
To take what it needs to survive
Kill or get killed
Domination or fall
The only way to survive
To kill them all

Exploiting the grounds
To grow and expand
On blood and extinction
They're making the stand
Knowing no mercy and no remorse
Their breed is embarking
Towards the shores of the worlds
The worlds and universe
A dark star will rise
To bring on demise

Bare of emotions - cold blooded minds
Finally leaving their prison behind
Death and decay
Angels of judgement day

Kill or get killed
Domination or fall
The only way to survive
To kill them all

Narrator:
From the depths of evolution
a genocidal species emerged.
Their survival strategy:
to wipe out all other life forms so they would not have to
compete for resources.
This resulted in total extinction
of all other life.
When they were about
to emerge into space,
the ancient civilizations created
a barrier around their system,
so they would not be able to leave.
But know the seal is broken.

Solo Piet

Born in the twilight
To conquer them all
To take what it needs to survive
Kill or get killed
Domination or fall
The only way to survive
To kill them all

And from the torrents of time
Evil is rising again
Kill or get killed
Domination or fall
The only way to survive
To kill them all

02. Roaring Thunder

Hordes of rage and bigotry
March upon the land
A tempest of insanity
Raised by sacred hand
Heaven sent they bath in blood
To worship their believe
Misled and seduced
They don't see they get abused

Fool crusaders
Knowing no remorse
We'll bring you to a halt
With unrelenting force
With all our might

Roaring thunder
Is pounding at the worlds
Torn asunder
As the holy fire burns
Blind believers
Are marching in the streets
Worlds will collide
For freedom or defeat

Bold and grim we'll hold the line
Determined to oppose
For mankind and the galaxy
They'll never break our rows

False messiah
You shall never win
We came here to retaliate
Upon you for the sins
The sins and the blood

Roaring thunder
Is pounding at the worlds
Torn asunder
As the holy fire burns
Blind believers
Are marching in the streets
Worlds will collide
For freedom or defeat

Solo Piet

Roaring thunder
Is pounding at the worlds
Torn asunder
As the holy fire burns
Blind believers
Are marching in the streets
Worlds will collide
For freedom or defeat

Titans will collide
For freedom or defeat

03. Eternal Quest

Through fire and darkness
I'm riding alone
In burning debris
I'm coming home
Ashes and ruble
In eternal night
Silent remains
Of horror and fright
The demons appeared
With scorching breath
Descending from heaven
Like angels of death
Here I am now
Alone in the dark
Grief and despair
Is breaking my heart

Goddess of fate
What have I done
The vigor is fading
I'm longing to rest
Is this the end of my quest

Send me a sign
Give me a reason to carry on
Send me a sign
Give me the power to carry on
Give ma a reason to life

Those years I've been suffering
In anguish and pain
Can't be just wasted
They can't be in vain
In determination
I look to the skies
To challenge the impossible
Cause love never dies

Goddess of fate
You must be wrong
As long as a heart
Is beating in my chest
I shall continue the quest

Send me a sign
Give me a reason to carry on
Send me a sign
Give me the power to carry on
Give ma a reason to life

Solo Piesel/Piet/Both

Send me a sign
Give me a reason to carry on
Send me a sign
Give me the power to carry on
Give ma a reason to life

And in the winds
The winds of eternity
I hear your voice
Calling for me
And as long as this heart
Beats in my chest
I will follow the cal
Forever I'll be on the quest

04. From Dust And Ruble

Born in the backstreets
In the rotten part of town
Far away from the city lights
They're pushing you around 'n round
Fast women, fast money
Keep on seducing you
Small mugs, big sharks
Are pushing and controlling you

And when it seems as if
The world comes tumbling down
And you are wondering
Why you're still around

Born in dust and ruble
Fight to be free forevermore
Burn down the bridges
And leave it all behind
Leave tonight for tomorrow

Death and violence rule the street
Obey or die - you're under the gun
Oppression - submission
They cycle's going on an on

This ain't your destiny
So spread your wings and fly
Keep the faith and don't look back
Lift your spirit high

Born in dust and ruble
Fight to be free forevermore
Burn down the bridges
And leave it all behind
Leave tonight for tomorrow

Solo Piesel

And when it seems again
The world comes tumbling down
Don't be afraid, my friend
Cause you won't be around

Born in dust and ruble
Fight to be free forevermore
Burn down the bridges
And leave it all behind
Leave tonight for tomorrow

05. Sinner Or Saint

Brilliant true ingenious mind
A visionary man
Driven to fulfill his dream
That's how all began
Quality, prosperity
No rulers nor oppression
Power is redundant
When the need tonight is gone

Structure and matter
At his command
The ultimate power
Lies in his hand
Godlike creator
Lord of all things
Thy age of salvation begins

Master - mastermind
Halo - or curse of mankind
Savior - or deadly thread
Blessed or possessed
Sinner or saint

No one's getting rued by none
In this utopia
No one is superior
Nor above the law

Mind over matter
Controlled by the will
Tool of creation
Or weapon to kill
He is the master
The Lord of all things
The age of salvation just begins

Master - mastermind
Halo - or curse of mankind
Savior - or deadly thread
Blessed or possessed
Sinner or saint

Solo Piesel/Piet/Both

And when he realized
His visions won't get real
His dream won't come true
The world will never heal
Heal from the failure
The nature of mankind
A last glance with misty eyes
And then he leaves the world behind

Master - mastermind
Halo - or curse of mankind
Savior - or deadly thread
Blessed or possessed
Sinner or saint

06. Stand Up And Fight

When demagogues and liars
Are taking on the world
Feeding on envy and fear
When hateful agitators
Are stirring up the mob
Time to make a stand is here
Unseen like a ghost
A specter in the night
Harvesting soul after soul
Long forgotten evil
Is coming back to life
ready to on control

Stop just closing your eyes
Stand your ground
And don't life on lies
Don't remain in silence
Shout it out loud

Stand up and fight!
Fight all those preachers of hate
Stand up and fight!
Fight before it's too late
Stand up and fight!
Fight! Rise up and unite
Stand up and fight!

Driven by an anger
Like puppets on a string
Shotgun justice begins
Manic and fanatic
Mayhem in the night
Riot, destruction and fright

Stop just closing your eyes
Stand your ground
And don't life on lies
Don't remain in silence
Shout it out loud

Stand up and fight!
Fight all those preachers of hate
Stand up and fight!
Fight before it's too late
Stand up and fight!
Fight! Rise up and unite
Stand up and fight

Solo Piesel

Deep frustration
Bleeding nations
Deceived and mislead
A virus has spread
Anger and fright
Are reigning the night
So raise your voices
And unite!

Please don't just turn away
When fatal wrong
Is coming your way
Just break the silence
Shout it out loud

Stop just closing your eyes
Stand your ground
And don't life on lies
Don't remain in silence
Shout it out loud

Stand up an fight!
Fight all those preachers of hate
Stand up an fight!
Fight before it's too late
Stand up an fight!
Fight!
The poison that's spilled by their lies
Stand up an fight!
With all your might
Stand up and fight!
Fight! Rise up and unite
Stand up and fight!

07. Heroes Ascending

High above on cosmic winds
Faster than light on iron wings
Majestic titans are gleaming bright
As they embark in the morning light
Engines are roaring in hyperdrive
The mission's to win and survive
On the edge, under attack
Hell awaits - no turning back

Onto the battle fields
In the killing zone
Locked on targets
Riding out into unknown

Engines ignite - ready to fight
Wings engage in the morning light
Defying the odds - defending the free
They will be heroes
Heroes forevermore

Battle tested - defying death
Unrelenting with every breath
Te heroes ride for the sake of the free
To lead the worlds to victory

Onto the battle fields
To the killing zones
Weapons loaded
Riding out into unknown

Engines ignite - ready to fight
Wings engage in the morning light
Defying the odds - defending the free
They will be heroes
Heroes forevermore

Heroes ascending

Solo Piet

Engines ignite - ready to fight
Wings engage in the morning light
Defying the odds - defending the free
They will be heroes
Heroes forevermore

08. Never Stop Believing

From darkest night
To brightest day
Felicity and agony
Life and death
We've seen it all
Tears of joy
Tears of grief
Confidence and disbelieve
Welcome and farewell
We've had it all

Side by side
We've been walking
Through the fires
Back to back
We took it always higher

We'll never stop believing
Always keep on dreaming
Keep the faith and carry on
Together we'll be strong
Never stop believing
Always keep on dreaming
I'll be there - I'll be there
To hold
And catch you when you fall

The demon comes
The demon goes
What will be
Whoever knows
We'll take the future
In our hands

Side by side
We'll be walking
Through the fire
Back to back
We'll take it even higher

Cause we'll never stop believing
Always keep on dreaming
Keep the faith and carry on
Together we'll be strong
Never stop believing
Always keep on dreaming
I'll be there - I'll be there
To hold
And catch you when you fall

Sometimes when I'm all alone
I think of you and me
The love, joy and sweet caress
We are family
I'd climb the highest mountain
I'd cross the deepest sea
To shelter and protect you
Cause we are family
And even if I'm gone someday
My love is living on
I Will be there
I'll make you going on
I will be there
Love is living on
Forevermore

Never stop believing
Always keep on dreaming
I'll be there - I'll be there
To hold
And catch you when you fall

09. Until We Meet Again

Drifting on the ocean
An ocean without shore
Space and time
Have no meaning anymore
Realities are merging
Echo through infinity
Perpetual
Setting sail on the winds
Of eternity
Disembodied specter
On the final ride
To cross the bounds
The bounds to the other side

Sanctuary
Deliverance from the pain
Spread the wings
The word is goodbye
Until we meet again
Until we meet again

Floating in foreverness
In perfect harmony
beyond the bounds
The spirit is free
One with creation
Peace of mind
Leaving the horror behind

The mortal agony
the torment and the fears
Fighting in the darkness
Holding back the tears
Praying for a miracle
Deliverance from the pain
But mercy wasn't granted
Goodbye
Until we meet again
Until we meet again

Out of clear blue sky
Changing all forevermore
In the blink of an eye
With the courage of desperation
In the hope of despair
With grim determination
Inside the devil's lair

Beyond the bounds
Beyond infinity
Desperation
Agony
Mortal fear
Pain and tears
Peace of mind
Leaving all behind

Solo Piet

Evanescing memories
Of scattered hopes and dreams
Resonating echoes
From far away
Ascending into endlessness
On the wings of love
Cause love is living on
Until we meet again
Until we meet again

I will be there
Waiting for you
I will be there
At the end of the rainbow
I will be there
Love is living
Forevermore
Until we meet again

10. Legends Of Glory

Darkness was falling
When evil came ashore
A reign of terror
Was reaching out it's claw
To kill
Forces have been gathering
In omnipotent might
Allied of the galaxy
Stood in to fight

Hunting the creature
Destroying the curse
Dauntless defenders of man
And the universe
Man and the universe

Legends of glory
Of blood an defeat
Of triumph and victory
Your deeds will be told
Legends of glory
Of dauntless men
Of valor bravery
Hear the legends of the bold

Out in the nowhere
On alien ground
The sword of salvation
Stroke them down

No more the demons
Shall rise up again
To die by the fire
The sentence of man
Die - by the fire

Solo Piesel/Piet/Both

Legends of glory
Of blood an defeat
Of triumph and victory
Your deeds will be told
Legends of glory
Of dauntless men
Of valor bravery
Hear the legends of the bold

11. Sin City

Diamonds, and dust
Poor man last, rich man first
Lamborghinis, caviar
Dry martini, Shangi-La

I've got a burnin' feelin'
Deep inside of me
It's yearnin'
But I'm gonna set it free

I'm goin' in
To Sin City
I'm gonna win
In Sin City

Where the lights are bright
Do the town tonight
I'm gonna win
In Sin City
Oh, let me roll you baby!

Ladders and snakes
Ladders give, snakes take
Rich man poor man
Beggar man, thief
Ain't got a hope in hell
That's my belief
Fingers Freddie, Diamond Jim
They're gettin' ready
Look out! I'm comin' in!

So spin?
