Oh great God, If you really exist
For many years, I am asking you why Why are the innocent dead and the guilty alive? Where is justice? Where is punishment Something big is brewing You can see it in my eyes They burn with a beastly hatred That will be realised Why are the innocent dead? Come on god, answer me Why are the guilty alive? Don't want to be deceived They think they are above the law They're trying to break my spine Where is justice, where is punishment Where is the human line An eye for an eye Inveterate despite An eye for an eye A one man war on crime As I began to talk to god I've even lost my mind I only want to know one thing What I've done, was it wrong or right Why are the innocent dead? Come on god, answer me Why are the guilty alive? Don't want to be deceived They think they are above the law They're trying to break my spine Where is justice, where is punishment Where is the human line An eye for an eye Inveterate despite An eye for an eye A one man war on crime An eye for an eye Inveterate despite An eye for an eye A one man war on crime A loving husband, devoted father Till the day the mob opened the fire Retaliation and vindictiveness His only mission and ardent desire Why are the innocent dead? Come on god, answer me Why are the guilty alive? Don't want to be deceived They think they are above the law They're trying to break my spine Where is justice, where is punishment Where is the human line An eye for an eye An eye for an eye 02. Shellfire Defense
The cover of darkness no longer conceals
An approaching enemy There are many ways to kick some ass With updated technology You will always get on your knees In the war you're gonna fight Prevent agreements between nations No democracy but more genocide Keep your eyes open your under control There is something that's over the top Penetration and power sends bullets of lead Inside your body to do the job Shellfire defense Pray to god that he will take you in his hands Shellfire defense You wish to get the final shot That makes your nightmare end Eliminate the threat and minimise the risk Supremacy against the attacks New weapons in front of fighting troops They get no chance for shooting back Who gave you the criminal passions? Inclinations to kill Retribution demand victims No matter what you feel Keep your eyes open your under control There is something that's over the top Penetration and power sends bullets of lead Inside your body to do the job Shellfire defense Pray to god that he will take you in his hands Shellfire defense You wish to get the final shot That makes your nightmare end Shellfire defense Pray to god that he will take you in his hands Shellfire defense You wish to get the final shot That makes your nightmare end Long vanished is the age of blows with a club Wholesale murder guarantee Soldiers within the meaning of law Decimate the dregs of society Where's man's dignity and human nature? Disarmament and combination Fit in with the needs of present Peace not revelation Keep your eyes open your under control There is something that's over the top Penetration and power sends bullets of lead Inside your body to do the job Shellfire defense Pray to god that he will take you in his hands Shellfire defense You wish to get the final shot That makes your nightmare end 03. The Saw Is The Law
Slazing scents taint with blood
Signed his path of death Trace him to the place of fright Searching for his daily bread When midnight comes around Be warned because he is out of sight What carnal secrets does he hide His ruthless rage will come Buried deep inside his mind The rites of the saw began The saw is the law The saw is the law Executed children Laughing mothers by their side Feel the pain of ripping flesh Those who've died Have paid the price And drawn their final breath What carnal secrets does he hide His ruthless rage will come Buried deep inside his mind The rites of the saw began The saw is the law The saw is the law The saw is the law The saw is the law What carnal secrets did he hide His worries of the flesh have come With tears in his eyes and a gun in his hand So ends the story of the chainsawman The saw is the law The saw is the law The saw is the law The saw is the law The saw is the law The saw is the law The saw is the law The law is the saw The saw is the law The law is the saw 04. Turn Your Head Around
I can really safely say
That you're still alive One thing they can't take away Is your will to survive I know I won't believe it I know I won't believe it They say you can't be found This man is better off dead They want to turn your head around Turn your head around Turn your head around Turn your head around How can they leave you lying there Hiding from the lights They don't know and they couldn't care They'll be dead by tonight Someone's made a big mistake I can't believe my ears Just how long will this thing take Give him days, months and years 05. Capture The Flag
They took the oath of allegiance
Responsible and proud Sold their soul for native love In war to stand their ground Don't bury the hatchet Get on with your fight Snipe down the enemies Put them out of action Don't look back The promised words we never forget Capture the flag Capture the flag Departure to conquest the Hamburger Hill At the risk of our life Embitters resistance, deadly traps Rapid fire - Got no chance to dive Don't bury the hatchet Get on with your fight Snipe down the enemies Put them out of action Don't look back The promised words we never forget Capture the flag Capture the flag Hollow bangs and cries of pain That filled the air with blood Fleeing in the minefield reign Encircled by the flank attacks A game like Russian roulette Who will survive? The mine barrier in front of us Overpowered in running fight Armour-piercing bullets Slaughtered one by one Two find a way to hide The tables are turned By hopeless defeats Got the power, got the might Don't bury the hatchet Get on with your fight Snipe down the enemies Put them out of action Don't look back The promised words we never forget Capture the flag Capture the flag Now twenty years later Sitting by the beer Remembrance comes awake Talk about friends That never came back Fallen by the war's disgrace Don't bury the hatchet Get on with your fight Snipe down the enemies Put them out of action Don't look back The promised words we never forget Capture the flag Capture the flag Capture the flag Capture the flag 06. Cold Sweat
[Dedicated To : Phil Lynott (RIP)]
I put my money in the suitcase And headed for the big race I felt a chill on my backbone As I hung up the telephone Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat Running down the back of my neck To lose means trouble, to win pays double And I got me a heavy bet Cold, cold sweat They say chances on the outside Are looking very slim I've been so lucky on the inside I feel I'm going to win Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat Running down the back of my neck Take a little money, there's nothing left to lose And I got me a heavy bet Cold, cold sweat I've got me a whole month's wages I haven't seen that much in ages I might spend it in stages And move out to Las Vegas Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat Running down the back of my neck To lose means trouble, to win means double And I got me a heavy bet Cold, cold sweat I put my money in the suitcase They say chances on the outside I got a whole months wages Stone cold sober and stone cold sweat Stone cold crazy Place another bet 07. Bloodtrails
Blood...
Blood... Blood... Far away from native lands Operation "Desert Shield" Prevent a war of conquest Military blockades Securing the peace Fighting for aggressor's rest Beware of this place The anger is growing again Your buds lying there The symptoms are always the same Concentration of armies No diplomatic conversation Belligerents and lack of self control Interventions by embargoes There is a crisis brewing Wanna get the treasure of the soil Beware of this place The anger is growing again Your buds lying there The symptoms are always the same Bloodtrails - Effervesced till world war III Bloodtrails - Suicide to kill the enemy Bloodtrails - No reasons and no common sense Bloodtrails - Call you to your end Bloodtrails... Bloodtrails... Bloodtrails... We got orders and inner instruction By bad educations Corrupt might took possession of our souls From land to land To form new generations Where shadows join hand With their own living dead rules Beware of this place The anger is growing again Your buds lying there The symptoms are always the same Bloodtrails - Effervesced till world war III Bloodtrails - Suicide to kill the enemy Bloodtrails - No reasons and no common sense Bloodtrails - Call you to your end 08. Never Healing Wound
Secluded by generalities
No eyes saw them before Exiled and damned from birth till death Rejected by their parents Locked up as beasts No clergy brought their souls to bless Never ending pain In the hour of their death Driven to their tomb By never healing wounds Nobody perceived the cries No famine got appeased In hospitals of infanticide Killers camouflaged As harmless pediatrist Children found no place to hide Never ending pain In the hour of their death Driven to their tomb By never healing wounds Never ending pain In the hour of their death Driven to their tomb By never healing wounds With excrements soiled bodies Starved by malnutrition Whooping cough and AIDS disease Now the regime is overthrown Memorials are raised But hopes to survive will freeze Never ending pain In the hour of their death Driven to their tomb By never healing wounds 09. Better Off Dead
Born to die in a game
Where there is no return Try to find a pleasant means of death All your life you have learnt Tortured by the world till you Draw your final breath Terror, hate Murder, rape Through your life trying hard To find out what it means Those who know all have lost their mind Through their eyes we can see That nothing's to obscene Empty shells, nothing there Just bodies left behind Terror, hate Murder, rape In this nightmare life time You're better off dead Pain and warfare, sex-crime You're better off dead Broken dreams devastated By your will to live Ruined by malignance and decay We're betrayed until There is nothing more to give Praying for a final peace To be there in our graves Terror, hate Murder, rape In this nightmare life time You're better off dead Pain and warfare, sex-crime You're better off dead Terror, hate Murder, rape In this nightmare life time You're better off dead Pain and warfare, sex-crime You're better off dead In this nightmare life time You're better off dead Pain and warfare, sex-crime You're better off dead Better off dead 10. Resurrection
[Dedicated To : Tom's Dad, who died too early]

Tarred And Feathered
Source and seed of misanthropy
Is the age of inquisition Where kings and queens got the power To lay down immoral religions Pursuit of innocent flesh Shredding of their blood Plundering and robbing A thousand natural lusts Hypnotised by the smell of death Stiff walking to the stake Amusement, tar and feathers You are gonna loose your faith Delivered from the hell's great fear Spirits lost in gloom Seek them in their dread abode Tarred and feathered Beautiful red-haired ladies They got put in the pillory Skinned alive or stoned to death Broken on the wheel Sanguinary with arms across The king watched the scenery Exorcised and quartered In the shambles of sin Hypnotised by the smell of death Stiff walking to the stake Amusement, tar and feathers You are gonna loose your faith Delivered from the hell's great fear Spirits lost in gloom Seek them in their dread abode Tarred and feathered Hypnotised by the smell of death Stiff walking to the stake Amusement, tar and feathers You are gonna loose your faith Delivered from the hell's great fear Spirits lost in gloom Seek them in their dread abode Tarred and feathered Tarred and feathered Tarred and feathered 12. Stalinorgel
Declaration of war by a madman
Offensive in blizzards and fog Opening of the conflagration Thrust to the hostile front Snowed up Russian winter There's nothing shining bright Resistance in December Against the deadly light Stalinorgel Carry the war into the enemy's camp Stalinorgel Stalinorgel Vomiting fire - Infernal thunder Stalinorgel Pugnacity and national defense Grim struggles hand to hand Curtain of fire at the frontline Capitulation and retreat out of this land Snowed up Russian winter There's nothing shining bright Resistance in December Against the deadly light Stalinorgel Carry the war into the enemy's camp Stalinorgel Stalinorgel Vomiting fire - Infernal thunder Stalinorgel Stalinorgel Carry the war into the enemy's camp Stalinorgel Stalinorgel Vomiting fire - Infernal thunder Stalinorgel Arisen through their own fault by assumption of power The end is immediately near Red army struck back in triumphant advance Madman lost the war and disappeared Snow covered Russian winter There's nothing shining bright Resistance in December Against the deadly light Stalinorgel Carry the war into the enemy's camp Stalinorgel Stalinorgel Vomiting fire - Infernal thunder Stalinorgel Stalinorgel Carry the war into the enemy's camp Stalinorgel Stalinorgel Vomiting fire - Infernal thunder Stalinorgel Stalinorgel Carry the war into the enemy's camp Stalinorgel Stalinorgel Vomiting fire - Infernal thunder Stalinorgel |
