Tracks



01. William Kidd

Somewhere in the new world
Ruled by England's Kings and Queens
A man would seek his fortune
Sailing far across the sea

Privateer or pirate
Those who know won't live to tell
His crew of buccaneers
Did their best to serve him well

His name was William Kidd
His tales are known across the land
Upon a stormy sea
His ship would sail to golden sands

His name was William Kidd
His tales are known throughout the land
Across the seven seas
He bravely sailed to his last stand

On Adventure Galley
The Captain's trusted fighting ship
When fortune seemed to smile
Lives would end in misery

Treachery surrounds him
Whispers form of mutiny
Murder then succeeds his anger
Was he blind he could not see

News in Madagascar
Accused he is of piracy
The Captain sails for home
To proclaim his innocence

Heading back to Boston
Proved to be his last mistake
No treasures or gold trinkets
Where his body was left hanging

02. The Chalice

I've seen this movie many times before
Been brought down to my knees
And made to feel so small
They used to tell me that the world is fair
Well I no longer care, I need a new way out

Can you drink from Satan's chalice
Without the sting of its poison
Destroying your soul
There are many paths that lead to sadness
Yet there is hope if you try to remember
There's good in us all

Your mother told you to obey the rules
Of high society and do just as you're told
Here in the jungle we have highway kings
And pretty midnight queens
That live to break the law

Can you drink from Satan's chalice
Without the sting of its poison
Destroying your soul
There are many paths that lead to sadness
Yet there is hope if you try to remember
There's good in us all

So in the end I'm leaving you with this
Give always one more kiss before you say goodbye
Life is too short to miss the things that matter
Heal your wounds with laughter
Let your spirit fly

Can you drink from Satan's chalice
Without the sting of its poison
Destroying your soul
There are many paths that lead to sadness
Yet there is hope if you try to remember
There's good in us all

03. Death Avenue

Feel the cold air of night on your face
As you ride into the danger zone
This is where you must prove you're a man
There is nothing that can stop you now

And the rage that you feel
That's been building up
They all know it's about to explode
No remorse
No release for your enemies
There's no rules
This is Death Avenue

The air tonight smells of blood
Dim lit streets
That's the setting for this requiem
No escape from this hell you must win
And survive in this ungodly place

And the rage that you feel
That's been building up
They all know it's about to explode
No remorse
No release for your enemies
There's no rules
This is Death Avenue

As you enter the pit think of this
You possess the keys to your destiny
Show no fear, show no doubt
Don't hold back
You will prove your worth
You will prove your heart

04. Nightrider

From the smoke he rises
Like a vengeful metal god
Armor made of leather
Born with metal in his blood

Out to take a life
The ripper in his eyes
The sentinel will strike again

Nightrider
Nightrider
Nightrider
Nightrider

Living after midnight
Always out to break the law
Turbo charged his motor
Bringing out the hell patrol
Out to take a life
The ripper in his eyes
The sentinel will strike again

Nightrider
Nightrider
Nightrider
Nightrider

Fast devastating and
Desolisating the curse
Blasting the cannons of
Truth through each man
Of this earth

Racing with the Devil
All across the desert plains
Like a leather rebel
True defender of the faith
Out to take a life
The ripper in his eyes
The sentinel will strike again

Nightrider
Nightrider
Nightrider
Nightrider

05. Hellhound

So here we are in the wrong part of Town
It's so cold and no one's around
You feel a presence that lurks in the dark
You run scared, the dog starts to bark
From this there's no turning back...

In the darkness hear his evil growl
He's around, make no sound
Beast from Hades here to drag you down
He's Hellhound, he's Hellhound
Try to hide but in the end you're found
Make no sound, make no sound
Demon Spawn, demented and unbound
He's Hellhound
The Beast is coming for you!

And as you panic you call for the Priest
But he's not here to keep you alive
The demon wants you you'll never break free
Don't resist it's now all too late
From this there's no turning back...

In the darkness hear his evil growl
He's around, make no sound
Beast from Hades here to drag you down
He's Hellhound, he's Hellhound
Try to hide but in the end you're found
Make no sound, make no sound
Demon Spawn, demented and unbound
He's Hellhound
The Beast is coming for you!

The streets are empty the lights have gone out
There's no way to fend off the hound
Some say this place is a portal to hell
Those who know are not here to tell
From this there's no turning back...

In the darkness hear his evil growl
He's around, make no sound
Beast from Hades here to drag you down
He's Hellhound, he's Hellhound
Try to hide but in the end you're found
Make no sound, make no sound
Demon Spawn, demented and unbound
He's Hellhound
The Beast is coming for you!
Where his body was left hanging

06. Wheels Of Steel

Excitement fills the air
Tonight we cause a riot
On iron horses watch us ride like Knights of old
No weekends warriors in our midst
We cause a riot
Our engines hold a power that that can not be controlled

See the neon lights shine through the night
Feel the engine roar between your thighs
Raging horsepower, ride until we die

On wheels of steel
All through the night
On wheels of steel
We ride the sky

Deep in the underground
Our lives were forged in fire
The Gods of Metal gave us strength to carry on
Blood brothers side by side
Our metal beasts spit fire
Enjoy it while it lasts tomorrow I'll be gone

See the neon lights shine through the night
Feel the engine roar between your thighs
Raging horsepower, ride until we die

On wheels of steel
All through the night
On wheels of steel
We ride the sky

07. The End

Your eyes are open now
But still you can not see
A web of fear surrounds you
How can you break free?
I give men vision yet I'm
Hiding in plain sight
I am the veiled desire that
Penetrates your mind

The more that things keep changing
The more they stay the same
Destruction all around you
Corruption and decay
There is no God to save you
If you don't save yourself
And as the beast is rising
The Earth will turn to Hell

From ancient pyramids to
Crystalline great halls
Performing ancient rituals
Energize your soul
Build bridges to the future
See what's soon to be
The lady's son will guide you
Soon you'll come to me

The more that things keep changing
The more they stay the same
Destruction all around you
Corruption and decay
There is no God to save you
If you don't save yourself
Why be a slave in Heaven
When you can rule in Hell?

I am the one who crawls at night
I am the fallen one
The ones that bares the darkest light
The snake behind all crises
I'm the beginning and the end
I'll take you by my side
I'll give you wings so you can fly
And serve me as your master

08. Attila

Nomadic tribes
Rise from the East
Ready for war with axe in hand
Plunder and kill
At my command
The Day of Judgment's close at hand

King of the Huns
The Goths and Danes
The blood of Nimrod's in my veins
Prince of the world
Scourge of all lands
Ready to make my final stand

I am the conqueror of worlds
I bring them war and poison minds with fear
The Roman men are sure to fall
Their faces turning white as snow
...cause they know

I am the one
Father and son
Watching my enemies crumble and fall
As they die by my hand

I am the one
My will be done
I am the one who is known
By the name of Attila the Hun

09. Straight Through The Heart

Like a summer rain you took me by surprise
Should've taken mamma's old advise
Never trust a girl with darkness in her eyes
Don't do it
You've always had your way of driving me insane
But like a fool I'd never run away
The feeling was too deep I couldn't break away
You had me

As I sit here and pray for love everlasting
I feel it again, your poison has got me
Straight through the heart
Straight through the heart

Now the sun is gone and clouds mask the sky
A trail of tears is what you've left behind
What I felt for you by now has died
It's over
Never thought that this would ever end this way
Hoped to be around you night and day
Guess I was a fool, I should have run away
It's too late

Still I sit here and pray for love everlasting
I feel it again, your poison has got me
Straight through the heart
Straight through the heart

10. Creatures Of The Night

He was a bike-riding mean machine
She was the local, eager, midnight queen
Match made in heaven with a lust for life
No one could match, their lives drew closer
Life ain't easy in a rock n' roll band
Sometimes a man just needs a... helping hand
Lucky for him she never was too shy
To make a move or guide... she said

Come on now sugar make me feel alright
Come on and ride with me all through the night
You make feel as if were never gonna die

You creature of the night!

Come on now baby make me feel alright
In dark alleys no rules apply
Come on and take me for a ride across the sky

You creature of the night!

Just like a Harley in the cold black night
She made those sounds that could drive you wild
Moved like a reptile ready to attack
The man was stunned, she knew she had him
Then reptile's father caught them in the act
Our man went into a mild heart attack
Ran out the window as he called to her
One day I will return... and he said

11. Long Live Rock 'n' Roll

All right
Rock and roll, yeah

At the end of a dream
If you know where I mean
When the mist just starts to clear

In a similar way
At the end of today
I can feel the sound of
writing on the wall
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do

Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
Let it live

In a different time
When the words didn't rhyme
You could never quite be sure
Then on with the change
It was simple but strange
And you knew the feeling
seemed to say it all
It cries for you
It's the least that you can do
Like a spiral on the wind
I can hear it screamin' in my mind

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
I'm losing control

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll, yeah
Long live rock and roll
Look you

If you suddenly see
What has happened to me
You should spread the word around

And tell everyone here
That it is perfectly clear
They can sail above it all
on what they've found
It cries for you
It's the best that you can do
Like a sound that's everywhere
I can hear it screaming
through the air

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
Let it live, let it live, let it live

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll, yeah
Long live rock and roll

Banners held high with a
curse and cry and it's
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
You feel it around,
spread it around, make
you what just should

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
Live, live, live, live

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll
Let it live, let it live, let
it live, let it live

Long live rock and roll
Long live rock 'n' roll
Long live rock and roll

12. Deja vu

When you see familiar faces,
But you don't remember where they're from,
Could you be wrong?
When you've been particular places,
That you know you've never been before,
Can you be sure?
'Cause you know this has happened before,
And you know that this moment in time is for real,
And you know when you feel Deja vu.

Chorus:
Feel like I've been here before,
Feel like I've been here before.

Ever had a conversation,
That you realise you've had before,
Isn't it strange?
Have you ever talked to someone,
And you feel you know what's coming next?
It feels pre-arranged.
'Cause you know that you've heard it before,
And you feel that this moment in time is surreal,
'Cause you know when you feel deja-vu.
