Trapped by this madness
In search of something lost to me Life has no meaning In a place that has no heart to bleed Through walls of glass I stare With a silence written in my eyes No love or laughter Strange is the passion of the wise Stand up and fight Won't someone listen to me now Stand up and fight There's only me in my mind I can't find a way out No one sees what I see This maze is a white line In search of sanity In search of sanity Lies taint the mirror No image of the truth to see Time lost forever To the wastelands of insanity Deep down inside I pray For the peace and freedom of my past Is there no way out Hope light and reason fading fast Stand up and fight Won't someone listen to me now Stand up and fight There's only me in my mind I can't find a way out No one sees what I see This maze is a white line In search of sanity These watching voices Gaze through this dark and empty shell Sweet taste of freedom Lies far inside the wishing well The slope gets steeper now On the winding road to set me free Inside this sorrow I seek a dream that just can't be Stand up and fight Won't someone listen to me now Stand up and fight There's only me in my mind I can't find a way out No one sees what I see This maze is a white line In search of sanity In search of sanity 03. Shellshock
Are these the eyes of a madman
That see a crumbling sky Reaching out for the answer please tell me why In a state of reclusion In a shell-shocked mind Gazing into the darkness that I can't find Stay calm There's panic all around Listen to the silence it's so loud Raise hell Who says that I'm insane Follow let the blindman lead the way Madness I'm your slave Shellshock, shellshock, shellshock Draining the life from me Shellshock, shellshock My ears they bleed Shellshock, shellshock, shellshock Twisting my every dream Shellshock, shellshock Oh insanity was born in me In the chill of a nightmare Awake in screaming pain Bowing down to emotion every nerve in flame Am I blind to the reason Can I really see Along the path of confusion that's haunting me Stay calm There's panic all around Listen to the silence it's so loud Raise hell Who says that I'm insane Follow let the blindman lead the way Madness I'm your slave Shellshock, shellshock, shellshock Draining the life from me Shellshock, shellshock My ears they bleed Shellshock, shellshock, shellshock Twisting my every dream Shellshock, shellshock Oh insanity was born in me Watching time for the timeless Within a conscious dream A fading scene of violence what can this mean Through a faith in illusion Redeem a jaded past The clawing hands of the clock-face They turn so fast Stay calm There's panic all around Listen to the silence it's so loud Raise hell Who says that I'm insane Follow let the blindman lead the way Madness I'm your slave Shellshock, shellshock, shellshock Draining the life from me Shellshock, shellshock My ears they bleed Shellshock, shellshock, shellshock Twisting my every dream Shellshock, shellshock Oh insanity was born in me 04. Lightning War
Striking at speed on the wings of revenge
Creating at madness at will Deceiving dictating pretenders beware Unleashing the blitzkrieg to kill Burning desire with blood as the fuel Dying you feed the machine Rising from blindness the lights scan the sky Defying the darkness I see Raise the flag of shame Coward is your name I have your life held in my hand Feel the power rise Lightning cracks the sky Cut loose the fury take command Die, die, die By our Blitzkrieg Die, die, die It's a lightning war Die, die, die By our Blitzkrieg Die, die, die Riding the past as we march on through time Inflicting destruction and pain Deposing destroying exceptions are none Send bleeding the weak and insane Leading them on through the oceans of light Black is the hatred we found Awaiting the sign for the hammer to fall Sent crushing by power and sound Raise the flag of shame Coward is your name I have your life held in my hand Feel the power rise Lightning cracks the sky Cut loose the fury take command Die, die, die By our Blitzkrieg Die, die, die It's a lightning war Die, die, die By our Blitzkrieg Die, die, die Tighten the grip on the never say die Precision the way to succeed Ascending defending in action again Emotion is what we perceive Show no remorse in a crushing defeat Sweet is a vengeful attack Life is for living right down to the last The glory immortal in black Raise the flag of shame Coward is your name I have your life held in my hand Feel the power rise Lightning cracks the sky Cut loose the fury take command Die, die, die By our Blitzkrieg Die, die, die It's a lightning war Die, die, die By our Blitzkrieg Die, die, die 05. Let There Be Rock
In the beginning back in nineteen fifty five
Man didn't know 'bout a rock 'n' roll show, And all that jive The white man had the schmaltz, And the black man had the blues No one knew what they was gonna do But Tschaikovsky had the news, said Let there be light, and there was light Let there be sound, and there was sound Let there be drums, and there was drums Let there be guitar, and there was guitar Let there be rock, let there be rock And it came to pass, that rock 'n' roll was born All across the land every rocking band, Was blowing up a storm And the guitar man got famous, The business man got rich And in every bar there was a superstar, With a seven year itch There was fifteen million fingers, Learning how to play And you could hear the fingers picking And this is what they had to say Let there be light, sound, drums, guitar Let there be rock, let there be rock One night in a club called the Shaking Hand There was a 42 decibel rocking band The music was good, and the music was loud And the singer turned and he said to the crowd Let there be rock, let there be rock Let there be rock, let there be rock 06. Blood Upon The Ice
Ancient cities lost in time
Nations of the grave Banished to a crypt of freezing pain Children of the seven seas Beneath the heavens room Searching for a place to call a home I wake up dying Trapped in this hell In search of finding In death we are alone Does the madman plead insane Is there death that gives no pain Blind aggression bring you fame I just need a chance To win or lose We play this dying game To stand and fight And breakout from these chains To maim and kill I drain you free of life I live you die There's blood upon the ice Distant echoes haunt the brain The watching waiting men Laughing for this torture never ends Captive of the empty dreams Screaming at the sky Falling froze am I about to die I wake up dying Trapped in this hell In search of finding In death we are alone Does the madman plead insane Is there death that gives no pain Blind aggression bring you fame I just need a chance To win or lose We play this dying game To stand and fight And breakout from these chains To maim and kill I drain you free of life I live you die There's blood upon the ice Death clouds mask the sky No way was I born to die Mad sad am I insane I won't submit to fame Deaf blind in search of light C'mon we're gonna fight Laugh, cry the killing's done It's time for blood to run Frozen life to blind to see A kaleidoscope of time Awakened by the anger in my mind Welcome to this dying world Where sleeping cities lie The endless lights that fade and pass by I wake up dying Trapped in this hell In search of finding In death we are alone Does the madman plead insane Is there death that gives no pain Blind aggression bring you fame I just need a chance To win or lose We play this dying game To stand and fight And breakout from these chains To maim and kill I drain you free of life I live you die There's blood upon the ice 07. Welcome To Dying
As time slips by
I awaken from my sleep Too blind to see That tomorrow's just a dream I fear no pain As I reach toward the sky Immortal words Was I really born to die My destiny Please release me from this hell I'm locked inside Cannot break the broken spell Welcome to dying Welcome to dying Now say your last goodbyes The darkness dies But the dawn it brings no light In life or death Our existence is a fight In sight of end Let me die leave me in peace A slave to life Break the chains and set me free My destiny Please release me from this hell I'm locked inside, locked inside Cannot break the broken spell Welcome to dying Welcome to dying Now say your last goodbyes Death is spreading like disease Life I cannot see Fate a shadow blackening my soul Life holds nothing for me now Death so let it be Fate is something far beyond control Welcome to dying Welcome to dying Now say your last goodbyes Before my eyes Flashing memories of the past I lie in wait Could these thoughts now be my last Time fade away Have I wasted all these years As air grows cold For the end is drawing near My destiny Please release me from this hell I'm locked inside, locked inside Cannot break the broken spell Welcome to dying Welcome to dying Now say your last goodbyes 08. Powerplay
Death is the way
A passion to die I see a world gone insane Obsessed by the fashion to try Look to the rhyme The words never change Forever in line In search of a new game to play Follow on Along the line Your fate is what you will find Paralyse Reality You bear the scars of devilry Don't play with fire Powerplay Injecting madness in your mind Powerplay The flame burns higher Powerplay Draw first blood Life is hello goodbye Feel the powerplay Feel the powerplay Burning inside Immune to the pain Caught in a jigsaw of lies The glamour is fading to shame Lost in a void Lost far beyond time I see in your eyes A madness that's leading you blind Follow on Along the line Your fate is what you will find Paralyse Reality You bear the scars of devilry Don't play with fire Powerplay Injecting madness in your mind Powerplay The flame burns higher Powerplay Draw first blood Life is hello goodbye Feel the powerplay Feel the powerplay Tell me why The bell of warning rings If you give me some time I will prove to you it's lunacy Running from life A slow suicide You hear a voice from the grave A thorn that lies deep in your side Leading you down A spiral to hell In need of a friend a mistress That served you so well Follow on Along the line Your fate is what you will find Paralyse Reality You bear the scars of devilry Don't play with fire Powerplay Injecting madness in your mind Powerplay The flame burns higher Powerplay Draw first blood Life is hello goodbye Feel the powerplay Feel the powerplay |
