Nothing Sacred - Let Us Prey lyrics



Tracks



01. Warheads

Eighty feet of meta
Readout tells the tale
Open bunker
The sirens start to wail
No way I can fail

Warhead, Born to die a death of fire
Warhead, takes you to the never ending night

Target destination
On wings of death I sail
At ground zero
The sirens start to wail
I'm born to assail

Warhead, Born to die a death of fire
Warhead, takes you to the never ending night

Five miles high
Get set to loose control
Pull my pin
Watch me explode

Warhead, Born to die a death of fire
Warhead, takes you to the never ending night

Erupt in fury
You bow beneath my blow
All is silent

02. Sir Magma

'Twas so many years ago that he was here last
Abaddon, lord of the abyss angel of the dark
Mighty battles they were fought, cities rose and fell
Although we won ten thousand souls went straight down to hell

The darkest angel's here again, and his lessons learned
He'll use the final conflict to make the whole world born
He's been sitting, watching, a world that's filled with hate
As we build the weapons, with which to seal our fate

So now the battle's joined by mortals all across the globe
To avert the holocaust that would tear out their souls
They face the angels' forces, an army out of hell
But who would win the battle, no one knows to tell

03. Dogs Of War

Out in the wastelands the pack's fled
There's a path laid out in front of you
Retriever, blood seizure
The death they left was nothing new

The howl of wolves chills you now
As they move in for the kill
They're the dogs of war

At the battlefield, you failed
The dogs of doom know right from wrong
Cremated, incinerated
The charred remains of soldiers gone

The howl of wolves chills you now
As they move in for the kill
They're the dogs of war

You see the carnage, the field of death
Panzers are appearing through the mist
Retrievers scurrying, through the mud and blood
Oh god, please get me out of this

The german shepherd, elite of steel
Leaving dead by the score
Insane destruction and death
The trademarks of the dogs of war

04. No Tomorrow

Screaming out, screaming out
Seems I'm in a cage somehow
Somewhere else I'd rather be
Than alone here with your dreams

Take these chains that give me pain and sorrow
Won't listen when they speak of no tomorrow

Now is the time, to make your play
I won't let them, take it all away

Take these chains that give me pain and sorrow
Won't listen when they speak of no tomorrow

Tearing out, Tearing out
Rip away the bars right now
And reach out
For the sun

Take these chains that give me pain and sorrow
Won't listen when they speak of no tomorrow

05. This Is War

You can only run so far, no mercy, this is war
I'm breathing down your neck, nowhere to hide anymore

Oh, you talk so loud, about the wars you've won
All's quiet now you're looking, down the barrel of my gun

Power is what I've got, to bring you to your knees
All it needs is my will, just a gentle squeeze

Oh, you talk so loud, about the wars you've won
All's quiet now you're looking, down the barrel of my gun

Enough is enough, Now it's time to get tough
Been a problem way too long, just a whisper and you're gone

Oh, you talk so loud, about the wars you've won
All's quiet now you're looking, down the barrel of my gun

Let me tell you a story...
Time is here, nothing left, time to feel, the hand of death
Looking face to face with death, is the last you'll ever see
Time to meet your destiny now, no immortality

Time is here, nothing left, time to feel, the hand of death
Looking face to face with death, is the last you'll ever see
Time to meet your destiny now, no immortality

06. Grey Slayer

Trapped on earth since time eternal, a prisoner of the arch of time
Hating, silently wielder, an unbeliever, this is your age

Once before you made your challenge, against the realms of mortal man
In the abyss of cold thunder, you laid waste to all the land

Summoned to the land, part of a greater plan, you are insane
The unbeliever, demon or savior, lord fouls bane

Grey slayer, spread your evil through all the land
Lord despiser, you hold it's fate within your hands

Now you join in to the battle, risk all for the final cause
Forces led by three ravers, dominion of the land is yours

Summoned to the land, part of a greater plan, you are insane
The unbeliever, demon or savior, lord fouls bane

Grey slayer, spread your evil through all the land
Lord despiser, you hold it's fate within your hands
Grey slayer, spread your evil through all the land
Lord despiser, you hold it's fate within your hands

Deep within the ancient rock, land waster comes again
Corruption stains the earth, hope is you, lord fouls bane

07. The Dark

You sit there all alone, chilled right to the bone
Too scared to stay, too scarred to go
Out there in the night, something's just not right
Darkness comes, the terror starts to rise

So darkness closes in, you feel the rush of fear
Soon you'll start to scream, in the dark there's no one near

Nerves on a razors edge, on step from the ledge
Hit the light, and draw the blind
It seems you just can't win, darkness creeping in
And those voices echo in your mind

So darkness closes in, you feel the rush of fear
Soon you'll start to scream, in the dark there's no one near

From their dark lair, her the laughter, in your head
Wish they'd all just go to hell
Keep the lights on, feel the eyes on, back of your neck
For some peace your soul you'd sell
Hear a strange sound, feel your heart pound
Just a dogs howl, so you try to tell yourself
Pray for dawns light, end of dark night
All will be right, of the sun comes 'round again

From their dark lair, her the laughter, in your head
Wish they'd all just go to hell
Keep the lights on, feel the eyes on, back of your neck
For some peace your soul you'd sell
Hear a strange sound, feel your heart pound
Just a dogs howl, so you try to tell yourself
Pray for dawns light, end of dark night
All will be right, of the sun comes 'round again

08. Thousand Years Gone

You stare out the window, although the night is black
Dreaming of a place you've been, with no way back

No more that clash of steel
The battles have been won
So now the rain is here
You cry for the sun
You're out of place and time
With nowhere left to run
The world you grew to love's
A thousand years gone

The life you used to know, has all been swept away
A soldier of the past, so high the price you pay

No more that clash of steel
The battles have been won
So now the rain is here
You cry for the sun
You're out of place and time
With nowhere left to run
The world you grew to love's
A thousand years gone

No more that clash of steel
The battles have been won
So now the rain is here
You cry for the sun
You're out of place and time
With nowhere left to run
The world you grew to love's
A thousand years gone

09. Let Us Prey

We bow down before you
To beg and implore you
Holy, Majesty
The fire and the brimstone
The he truly loves you
Sickly, travesty

We are the believers
Crushing the deceivers
Worship, let us prey
Turning on the liars
Time to built the fires
Hunting, let us prey

You lay down your life
'Coz a book say it's right
Faith or, insanity
They twisted the truth
For their own greedy use
Faking, piety

We are the believers
Crushing the deceivers
Worship, let us prey
Turning on the liars
Time to built the fires
Hunting, let us prey

We are the believers
Crushing the deceivers
Worship, let us prey
Turning on the liars
Time to built the fires
Hunting, let us prey

Let us prey

10. Guardian

The night it comes,
Darkness falls upon the world again
He stalks, darkened streets, our last line of defence

All through deserted streets he walks his lonesome way
He's ready for the shock 'til night turns into day

No one knows, where he's from, they just why he's here
Hell's gates have broken open, to fill the world with fear
And as he walks, he feels the eyes, like knives in his back
So he stops, right he stands, and dares them to attack

No place to hide, nowhere to run
Master, of night
The guardian

They attack, with flashing blade he sends them back to hell
Demon screams fill the air, hear the tolling of the bell
To soon the day returns, he disappears once more
With the night, he'll be back, defender in eternal war

No place to hide, nowhere to run
Master, of night
The guardian

No place to hide, nowhere to run
Master, of night
The guardian

11. Freddy Kruger

His hand spells death
He breathes his vile breath
No way you can stop him once he's out
He haunts your sleep
In the tub he hides down deep
He rips your face and no one hears you shout

He's come for you, what will you do
He'll slash you and rip you and cut you in two

His teeth are black
Flex metal knuckles with a crack
Maggots crawling all throughout his skin
He'll get them all
Everyone will hear his call
When the razors grip beneath their chin

As the blood begins to splat
On his sweater and his hat
His rotted mouth smiles as you die
His color's red and green
His skin's not what it seems
He rips at it and tears off his own flesh

He's come for you, what will you do
He'll slash you and rip you and cut you in two

12. Damaged

Can you imagine what it's like,
On the outside looking in
I'm a watcher only, silent part,
Living in an endless dream

Burned out so many years ago,
Or was it, yesterday
I never dream, just stare at the sun
I stumble forward, I never run
No way it can be undone

Crucified, on a needle I died
Scattered like the stars in the sky
Wasted, life passes me by
Damaged, I can't remember why,
I'm damaged

I don't know, the dark from light,
don't know my left from my right
Eternal flame, does it burn,
I don't care which way I turn
I'll never dance there in the sun
No way ti can be undone

Crucified, on a needle I died
Scattered like the stars in the sky
Wasted, life passes me by
Damaged, I can't remember why,
I'm damaged
