In through your window a pair of big eyes
watching you and your bitch make love The thoughts that he thinks while watching the innocent Lovers can scare you to death His fantasies can't be controlled, he's a voyeur, He's been that way all of his life He tries to live out what he sees in his mind Even though he could end up in jail Indecent obsessions Unbridled aggressions Indecent obsessions Unbridled aggressions Chased by a man with a knife in his hand While being seen dressed in drag Because he followed that man and his wife to their doorstep and watched Them enter the house Around to the side by the window Hoping he'll get his means of release But then he was spotted so all he could think of Was "run for his life" Indecent obsessions Unbridled aggressions Indecent obsessions Unbridled aggressions In through your window a pair of big eyes Watching you and your bitch make love The thoughts that he thinks while watching the innocent Lovers can scare you to death His fantasies can't be controlled, he's a voyeur, He's been that way all of his life He tries to live out what he sees in his mind Even though he'll end up in jail Indecent obsessions Unbridled aggressions Indecent obsessions Unbridled aggressions 02. Kill The Enemy
Up from the dungeons of hell
Came the mightiest devil of all Dealing out danger or buying your soul They put them to death by the sword With hellfire eyes he went wild as he spoke Disciples must answer his call This demon leads armies to conquer the world Destroy all mankind with war He can't last much longer There ain't no place for him to hide And only we can stop him Kill the enemy Shoot him down Kill the enemy People would follow whatever he'd say Hypnotized masses would fall Into your town stormtroopers came Laying waste, raping some, killing all Try to resist and you'll die a slow death You'd suffer, you'd beg and you'd crawl Perversion and mayhem, havoc and pain Satan has come to us all He can't last much longer There ain't no place for him to hide And only we can stop him Kill the enemy Shoot him down Kill the enemy This demon spoke long of superior race The Aryan empire strong He killed by the millions, he took life so cheap Now his spectres are still standing tall He can't last much longer There ain't no place for him to hide And only we can stop him Kill the enemy Shoot him dead Kill the enemy 03. Mercenary
A flash of lightning shocks you to the bone
The roar of thunder you hear someone moan A blinding flash of light and you feel That touch against your skin, you know it's steel They'll try to find you, they won't let you die They'll seek you out, you know they'll try A sharp explosion rings through your ears Your time is coming, your fate is near He didn't know That he'd die But it's the price you pay When you're a mercenary You take a look around and all you can see Smoke and confusion staring back at me You wake at daybreak, you're still alive You fight to stay awake, your will to survive Back in the jungle, the children cry Burning napalm, it's time to die You fought in deserts, you fought in gangs You're the assassin and you're deranged He didn't know That he'd die But it's the price you pay When you're a mercenary You've been a mercenary nearly all of your life No time for family, can't keep your wife The pain you're in is too much to hold You'll die soon anyway, fighting alone So now it's over, silence closes in That's what you get when you just can't win He didn't know That he'd die But it's the price you pay When you're a mercenary Mercenary Mercenary 04. Amnesty
Amnesty
We want amnesty From what you believe To be above and beyond the law But it ain't no thing But just a prime example Of the way things are run Run in the wrong direction No good for anyone, no Protesting trivial matters Is a waste of time But when you're sending reckless youth To the front line Can only spur resistance From both young and old Because of special interest That you keep to yourself, you Increasing casualties Becomes the result Of patriotic bullshit And it's all your fault So we will flee the land Until you decide That you'll exonerate Us from this imaginary crime Amnesty Amnesty Amnesty 05. Member In A Gang
You better run, better hide, white spotlight in the schoolyard
They wanna know who's gonna fall and their spines are chilling We're gonna win, they're gonna die, watch the knives and bullets fly Don't know when it will end, I'm just a member in a gang It don't mean that you're clean, because you ain't killed nobody Because you know every ruthless scumbag, and that's no lie But when it's time to get in line, your fear starts to show But it's your obligation to the devil, because you're a member in a gang Yes I am Another night in the slam, say you're bought and paid for I wanna know who's on my side when the chips are down Was backstabbed, shot him dead, there's no end to the grief So tell me, are you the devil, or just a member in a gang? 06. Break Your Back
You break your back
To get you through Ain't got no class They say to you You need money To survive So you break your back Just to stay alive All day long You work and slave You got nothing left Your choice is made There ain't no reason I should wait Just let me through Those pearly gates Don't you try And tell me why I should be glad To be alive Now you see The road I'll take Life is hell To all who wait Break it Break it Hey! Break your back! Your reasons - don't mean anything Your simple minds - think simple things And there's no time - to fix the end And I'd never live - my life again 07. Another Chance
I need another chance
To right my wrong I didn't mean to kill her It was insanity She didn't want to give me The love I need So I began to whip her And then I took her life Cry Scream Dripping blood She's dead A little teenage doll And a fifth of J.D. Is all you need to pull off A dirty deed So if you choose to do so You might just pay And you may never get Another chance Cry Scream Dripping blood She's dead So now that you're a killer Are you satisfied? Do you believe in fate Or are you just plain dumb? You had to have it your way You didn't compromise So now you're in the slammer And not a thing to say Cry Scream Dripping blood She's dead 08. Creatures
No one knew what the night would bring when the sky was overcast
A haunting wind and a lightning bolt in a barren graveyard When the bodies rise up from the underground your skin begins to crawl And a long cold hand lashes out at you and then you're gone He tried with all his might But he couldn't win the fight Spellbound by evil It's life in hell Spellbound by evil In a traumatic brainstorm The mausoleum is a reception room for the ghouls in the night You best seek refuge if you're still alive or you'll be discovered Well behind a mansion is a dead man's tracks leading up the stairs And in the foyer lying on the floor is half a human being He tried with all his might But he couldn't win the fight Spellbound by evil It's life in hell Spellbound by evil In a traumatic brainstorm The world is plagued by an evil force that brings the dead man back to life I wish there was some way to save us all from tragic endings Well escape ain't likely when you're trapped inside and there's nowhere to run So count your blessings, prepare to die, your time has come So try with all your might And you might win the fight Spellbound by evil It's life in hell Spellbound by evil In a traumatic brainstorm 09. Trip Wires
The damage is done, I've been beat at my own crime
By someone that I never would have expected While the rich man kept counting his stocks and shares I made with the cash that they didn't know was there Trip wires I thought I would do no wrong Never assume that you'll beat them all Trip wires I thought I would do no wrong Never assume that you've won So now that you found me, well how do you feel? And what is it that you expected to gain By laying your ass on the line for the rich man Who couldn't care less if they found you dead? Trip wires I thought I would do no wrong Never assume that you'll beat them all Trip wires I thought I would do no wrong Never assume that you've won I never thought you'd become the imposter 'Cause you still won't collect a substantial reward 'Cause a pauper can never join ranks with the rich man 'Cause he's rich with the lies that he's fed to the poor Trip wires I thought I would do no wrong Never assume that you'll beat them all Trip wires I thought I would do no wrong Never assume that you've won |
